Handsome men can be seen everywhere in the Rong Palace.

Some were admiring the flowers, some were feeding the fish, and some deliberately put on women's clothes and stood near the door, waiting for Lu Jinrong to return.

What's more, he was reading some special books in order to better serve Lu Jinrong.

Lu Tingchen's knuckles crackled.

The Lu Dynasty had just put down the war and everything was in ruins, but Lu Jinrong kept this group of idle people in the palace.

He could see that the brocade clothes on just one of the handsome men were enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary person for five years!

If such a person were allowed to usurp the throne, he would surely drink and have fun day and night, ignoring the people.

After visiting the brothel... no, he visited Prince Rong's Mansion and had a good meal here before returning to the palace.

After all, the food in Prince Rong’s Mansion cannot compare to the exquisite food in the imperial palace.

From this we can see that Lu Jinrong has not yet reached the level where he can "use the emperor to command the princes."

It's good news.

…

In less than half a day.

The news that King Rong took the young emperor to see various handsome men spread throughout the streets and alleys.

For a while.

More and more people with lofty ideals are criticizing Lu Jinrong.

"The Emperor is still young. As his uncle, you should guide him well. How could you lead him to do such a thing?"

"Prince Rong, you have evil intentions! You might lead the Emperor astray!"

"Alas! I was thinking of visiting King Rong! Forget it now!"

…

The ministers of the Lu Dynasty respected the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.

Being able to accept male homosexuality is the biggest concession everyone can make.

Lu Jinrong's reputation has been ruined.

And what did Lu Tingchen do after returning to the palace?

He ordered Zhao State to send Zhu Xianyue, the sister of the hostage Zhu Shiyan.

He wanted to take Zhu Xianyue as his concubine.

Lu Tingchen said that he had figured it out.

When it comes to the country and the people, we must first ensure our offspring.

In addition, he showed to the outside world that he liked the hostage Zhu Shiyan.

Now, for the sake of the country, he had to settle for the second best and marry Zhu Shiyan's twin sister.

Such a move has aroused the admiration of most people.

In comparison, Lu Jinrong seems a bit "carefree".

And Zhu Xianyue can also return to Zhao State.

Then she officially entered the palace as a concubine as Princess Zhaoguo.

As for Zhao State? A hostage is a relative by marriage, so of course the latter is closer.

The King of Zhao was so happy that he drank a few more glasses of wine.

Then, he drank himself to death.

Maybe even God couldn't bear to see this, but it was also expected.

The king of Zhao was addicted to alcohol.

There were several times when I was so drunk that I fell to the ground unconscious.

If the palace servants had not turned him over and carried him back, he would have suffocated himself to death.

This incident allowed Zhu Shiyan, who was originally appointed as the crown prince and sent to the Lu Dynasty as a hostage but was eventually framed by his sister, to take advantage of the situation.

He is the legitimate crown prince.

Even if the previous king established him as a hostage.

So Zhu Shiyan ascended the throne as emperor.

In addition, his sister Zhu Xianyue is about to become a concubine in Zhao State.

For a time, no one could compete with it.

When the old king of Zhao was alive, his favorite was the son born to his concubine, Zhu Shiyan's younger brother.

The younger brother also started to play tricks and raised an army to rebel.

As a result, all the Lu Dynasty soldiers who were escorting the hostage back to Zhao were killed.

He also gave his troops to Zhu Shiyan.

From then on, Lu Tingchen became a great benefactor of Zhao State.

Zhu Xianyue also transformed from a princess into the eldest princess of Zhao State (the sister of the monarch is called the eldest princess, which is a title and different from other princesses).

Zhu Shiyan prepared a ten-mile red makeup for Zhu Xianyue to make up for her.

Zhu Shiyan was kept in the dark about the incident of switching the dragon for the phoenix.
