The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 56

[Chapter 56 The last three volumes]

In the palace, Emperor Chu had just finished discussing the tea and horse trade strategy with his cabinet ministers, and walked out of the Yangxin Hall. When passing by a certain palace, he suddenly heard laughter and laughter coming from inside.

His brows couldn’t help but frown, and then relaxed.

Because of the incident involving the imperial grandmother, the harem was much quieter than before. Although it was full of filial piety, it always seemed lifeless.

At this moment, it wouldn’t hurt to have more laughter.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu smiled brightly and stepped into the palace.

In the palace, Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua didn’t know what they were talking about at first, but they didn’t notice Emperor Chu. It wasn’t

until he approached that they all stood up and saluted: “I have seen your majesty!”

After Emperor Chu sat down, he waved his hands and said: “I am here to have a cup of tea and rest. You continue to talk, don’t worry about me. .”

Even though Emperor Chu said this, the two concubines stopped playing around like before and just sat there quietly.

Emperor Chu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked: “What were you talking about just now, so happy?”

Concubine Shu smiled and said: “Yan’er brought a book into the palace a few days ago. I feel that It looks good, so I gave it to my sister Hua Fei to read.”

When he heard that his daughter had brought a book with her when she returned to the palace, Emperor Chu looked surprised: “A book?”

Concubine Shu said, “It’s just a love story, come on. Nothing to do, it can relieve boredom, but I can’t go to the elegant hall.”

“Yes.”

Emperor Chu nodded, feeling quite emotional: “Although Yan’er is a bit noisy on weekdays, she is very filial.”

When he said this, he couldn’t help but Thinking of the wine Yan’er brought for herself when she left the palace a few days ago.

Drinking it in one gulp, it is like poison entering the throat, the throat is burning, and the intestines are pierced and rotten in the abdomen. Afterwards,

the taste has an endless aftertaste, which is really unforgettable.

It’s a pity that such fine wine is rare in the world. Even as the emperor of Chu, I don’t know how many times I can drink it in my life.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua became quiet when they saw that Emperor Chu was in a daze and seemed to be lost in memories.

After a while, Emperor Chu came back to his senses, as if remembering something, and suddenly asked: “What is Yan’er doing recently?”

Concubine Shu smiled slightly and said: “When I passed by Anle Palace recently, I often heard the sound of the piano. Come to think of it, that kid is honing his piano skills. “

Piano skills?”

Emperor Chu shook his head.

Yan’er is his youngest daughter and his most beloved princess.

In the whole world, except for her mother and concubine, few people know her better than him.

It is still possible to wield swords and guns in the palace.

After practicing the piano, thinking about it, it was just an excuse made up by Concubine Shu to protect the child.

Everyone has the feeling of licking a calf, including myself.

Emperor Chu didn’t care about Concubine Shu’s words. He just said: “Yan’er has reached the age of marriage. Although we have a three-year contract, you can’t let your temper be as usual. As the mother-in-law, you can’t do it on weekdays.” You need to be educated.”

Concubine Shu said, “I understand.”

Emperor Chu nodded and chatted with the two concubines for a while before getting up and leaving.

At this moment, a little palace maid came in excitedly, shouting: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have found the last three volumes!”

As soon as she entered the palace, she realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. She raised her eyes and saw that the chair was Your Majesty is sitting there.

The little palace maid hurriedly knelt down, her body was trembling, and she said in a trembling voice: “Slave, I didn’t know that Your Majesty was coming, and I disturbed Your Majesty. I’m bound to die.”

“Those who don’t know are not guilty. You don’t need to be so nervous.”

Emperor Chu waved. He waved his hand and said.

The little palace maid knew that the Holy Emperor was always generous. After hearing these words, she relaxed a lot, but she still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

It wasn’t until he heard the voice “Get up” that he stood up, saluted, and stood behind Concubine Shu.

Emperor Chu glanced at the manuscript in her hand and asked, “Is this the story you just talked about?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Concubine Shu explained, “This story was originally called “The Romance of the West Chamber” and Yan’er brought it Only the first three volumes were found. I thought it was very interesting, so I

asked someone to find it. This book was an only one, and there was no signature on it. I didn’t expect it to be successful, but I didn’t expect to find it. , is a great blessing from His Majesty. “

An unsigned unique copy?

Emperor Chu became interested, waved his hand and said: “In that case, bring it to me for a look.”

Concubine Shu winked at the little palace maid, who immediately understood and hurriedly presented the manuscript with both hands.

Emperor Chu took the manuscript and flipped through a few pages. He read it briefly and was even more surprised.

In his opinion, “The Romance of the West Chamber” is just an ordinary love story between a man and a woman, with nothing outstanding about it.

But if he doesn’t shine, how can he attract his daughter and several concubines?

Could it be that this book is the type that women like?

Emperor Chu raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua. Seeing the faint look of expectation in their eyes, he no longer had any doubts in his heart.

However, there is no scholar in the world who has not studied hard for ten years in the cold window, hoping that one day he will be able to obtain fame.

Who is willing to ponder a woman’s thoughts and write a book about them?

Emperor Chu could not help but become somewhat interested in the author of “The Romance of the West Chamber”. He looked at the young palace maid who submitted the book and asked casually: “Do you know who wrote this book?”

The young palace maid cheered up after hearing His Majesty’s question. He mustered up his courage and said, “My servant heard that it was done by a man named Fang Xiu.”

Fang Xiu?

As if he thought of something, Emperor Chu’s expression became a little strange.

He took a sip of tea and felt relieved.

Come to think of it, it’s just the same name.

Although that playboy and prodigal son gave him a good impression, it was only a good one.

It is really unbelievable to say that at such a young age, he not only knows how to govern a country, but also has a deep understanding of women’s thoughts and can write books about them.

By the way,

Emperor Chu suddenly remembered that this man had previously said that he would send wine to the palace, but he didn’t know why there was no news yet.

Could it be that he lied to me?

The so-called fine wine is just an excuse, but is it actually to cover up his behavior of buying and selling by force and bullying good people?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu’s face couldn’t help but darken.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua were thoughtful, and their hearts sank when they saw this scene.

Especially Concubine Shu, her face turned a little pale.

After hesitating for a long time, he said, “Your Majesty, is there anything inappropriate in this book?”

Emperor Chu shook his head and said nothing.

Concubine Shu said again: “If Your Majesty does not like this book, I will burn it now and never read it again.”

Emperor Chu raised his eyes, glanced at her, and said with a smile: “It’s a good book, burn it.” What to do, I was just thinking about other things, which have nothing to do with you or this book.”

Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua were relieved when they heard this.

They haven’t read the last three volumes yet.

It feels a bit pity to burn it like this.

After a while, Emperor Chu walked out of the palace and returned to Nuan Pavilion. He looked back at Liu Cheng and asked, “Fang Xiu, what are you doing recently?”

Since the last time he asked for advice in front of the palace, His Majesty has paid special attention to Uncle Anping. , from time to time, I have to ask.

Therefore, Liu Cheng was particularly concerned about his whereabouts.

Upon hearing His Majesty’s question, he immediately replied: “General Fang Zhonglang, it seems that he opened a bookstore a few days ago called Zhuxuanzhai.”
