After all, Li Xiuzhu doesn’t know yet that his wife has guessed that he can also eavesdrop on her thoughts.

Enduring his wife's nagging, Li Xiuzhu finished lighting the lotus lanterns in a secretly happy mood.

Next came the Kongming lanterns. At this time, the sky was already full of Kongming lanterns, but just like last night, there were only a few stars.

Kongming lanterns are not cheap, mainly because they require special straw paper to have enough power to fly.

In addition, wax oil is not cheap, and the cost of a Kongming lantern is 15 coins. Because it is the Lantern Festival, it is sold for 50 coins.

Therefore, apart from common people in love, most of the people who could be released were children from wealthy families.

If it is a wealthy family, they may sell hundreds of lanterns at a time. But tonight's Kongming lanterns will not only be on display for a while, but will be lit up all night long in Shangjing City.

It is because of this that it looks like a starry sky.

"Husband, do you want to mention poetry?"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned, then looked at his woman, and then looked at the Kongming lantern in front of him.

"You can write, but you just can't put this side down, right?"

"Hmm, that's a lot of words?"

"Well, if it's written on all four sides, it should be enough."

"That's great. I can see my husband's masterpiece again."

What else can Li Xiuzhu say? Just write.

“It’s just this ink.”

"Husband, please look."

When Li Xiuzhu looked over, it turned out to be a mini inkstone.

There is also a wolf hair brush that has never been stained with ink.

Good man, this is outrageous. When did you put it on? "Where did you get it from?"

Nong Yue smiled shyly when she heard that.

"I learned that we were going to fly Kongming lanterns today, so I discussed it with a few sisters and prepared it in advance."

My goodness, I still underestimated the ancient people’s love for poetry.

Li Xiuzhu picked up the pen, dipped it in the inkstone he had just sharpened, and began to write.

As Li Xiuzhu started writing, several women read out their sentences one after another.

"There is White Jade Palace in the sky, with twelve towers and five cities.

The immortal touched my head and gave me eternal life. "

"Mistakenly pursuing worldly pleasures, one becomes quite confused about reason and emotions.

The ninety-six holy monarchs are just empty names hanging in the clouds. "

"Try to learn the strategy of a hegemon, and you will be crowned with glory.

Learning swordplay makes me laugh at myself, but what is the point of writing?"

"The sword is not a match for ten thousand men, but the writing is famous all over the world.

"Child's play is not worth mentioning. I sigh five times and leave the capital."

There was something inappropriate in the middle, so I just deleted some of it. Combining it with my own experience, it seems to be appropriate.

"What a wonderful poem! My husband deserves to be called the Immortal Poet."

"Husband, tell me honestly, are you the reincarnation of an immortal?"

"Yeah, I think it's probably Wenquxing."

That’s enough, that’s enough. You guys praise me like this, and even my thick-walled face can’t stand it.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Is this the Duke's new poem? It is just as the princess said, with the appearance of an immortal."

Li Xiuzhu looked back and was slightly startled. It was Xu Miaojin again.

Is this girl omnipresent?

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "We meet again, Miss Miaojin."

"Yes, after we parted last night, I didn't expect to see the Duke again so soon."

Well, you are just bringing up something that is not relevant.

"Miss Miaojin, aren't you with your family?"

Xu Miaojin smiled when she heard that.

"His Majesty is hosting a banquet, and my father is attending. I have nothing to do at home, so I came out for a walk."

"Hey, didn't the Duke of the County attend the banquet?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "Liuli, Biyao and I will go and take a look. Today is the Lantern Festival, not New Year's Eve, so the banquet is entirely voluntary."

Xu Miaojin nodded when she heard that, but her eyes were a little envious.

Although it is voluntary for His Majesty to host a banquet, there are few people who are willing to give up the opportunity to show their faces.

Xu Miaojin chatted with a few more girls and watched the Kongming lanterns rise into the sky before leaving.

This poem was better than the one she had seen in the morning, but for some reason she liked that one better.

Perhaps a girl’s feelings are always poetry, and women like love poems more than anything else.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After Li Xiuzhu sent a group of girls home, he brought Li Liuli and Li Biyao into the palace.

Originally he didn't want to come, mainly because Baozhu's matter could be big or small, and instead of having someone report him the next day, it would be better for him to come and explain the situation in person.

By then, even if others want to cause trouble for him, they won’t have the chance.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Consort, Duke Anyang, and the two princesses are here. The Prince Consort said he has something to discuss with Your Majesty."

"Princess Wenjie and Princess Wenhua have gone to the harem."

Li Kuo's spirit was not as good as before at this time. He felt like he couldn't hold on any longer just after midnight.

Hearing this, Li Kuo was shocked. He nodded, then stood up and left.

When Li Kuo came outside and saw Li Xiuzhu, he asked, "Xiuzhu, what's the matter? Why did you come all the way here?"

You know, Li Xiuzhu said he couldn't come today. Now that he's here, it must be for something serious.

However, he immediately realized that he was wrong, extremely wrong, and in his opinion, this matter could not be any smaller.

"Father, this is what happened. Today, when my son-in-law took my wives, concubines, and aunts out to play, my aunt said something that she shouldn't have said."

"Specifically..."

"That's about it. I was worried that my father might have some wild thoughts, so I came to the palace on purpose."

Li Kuo was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Is that all?"

"Um!"

Li Kuo immediately said angrily: "Is father so unreasonable? You really think too much and are too cautious. We are a family."

Li Xiuzhu responded: "Even if we are a family, we should have an attitude."

Li Kuo shook his head in amusement.

"You..., since you are here, go and see your mother."

"Tonight, all the unmarried princesses and the princes in the capital are attending the party in the harem."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned and scratched his head.

"Um, is it appropriate for me to go to the harem?"

"If I say it's suitable, then go ahead."

After saying this, Li Kuo turned around and left, but it seemed that he was not returning to the front hall.

After Li Xiuzhu left, Li Kuo went to the flower room to relieve himself and said to himself, "My energy is really not as good as before. I used to be able to make it through the whole night without feeling sleepy, but now I feel so sleepy after only half a night."

Upon hearing this, Wang Defa stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty will surely live a hundred years."

This is not disrespect to Li Kuo, but a sincere blessing.

Li Kuo waved his hand and interrupted Wang Defa.

"I will rest for an hour. Remember to wake me up after an hour."

As the emperor, he certainly couldn't keep disappearing in the second half, so even if his body couldn't take it anymore, he could only rest for an hour.

Li Kuo looked towards the southeast of Shangjing City and said to himself: Prime Minister Fu, I will die in peace after your Grand Canal is completed.

This is my last wish, please don’t let me down.
