But what happened before has been resolved, and I have punished them enough. It would be difficult to get rid of them now.
Just as Empress Zhang said, if she forced Prince Fu to death, it would damage her reputation.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't care about his reputation, but it would make other princes feel insecure. It would be difficult for him to deal with it himself.
Besides, starting next year, I'll be overwhelmed with things to do and won't have the time to deal with each of these princes one by one. But they have to be dealt with eventually, so wouldn't it be bad if they let him cause trouble?
There seems to be something to be done here.
Zhu Youxiao pulled Empress Zhang aside and said with a smile, "Okay, we'll listen to Baozhu. Since we're bored today, let's go see the troupe Prince Fu sent over. Are there any plays they're good at?"
When Empress Zhang heard what Zhu Youxiao said, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Reaching out to pull Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang said with a smile, "They are from the Suzhou Opera Garden. They are said to be best at The West Chamber and Yiyang Opera. I haven't heard them before."
After hearing what Empress Zhang said, Zhu Youxiao was a little dazed.
Suzhou, Liyuan, is good at Romance of the West Chamber. Isn’t this talking about Chen Yuanyuan?

However, Zhu Youxiao also became really curious. Everyone said that this Jiangnan courtesan was extraordinary, but he had never seen one before and didn't know how beautiful she was.
Turning his head to look at Empress Zhang beside him, Zhu Youxiao felt that there was not much hope.
His own queen was so beautiful, there weren't many who were prettier than him in the world. Not to mention his own Queen Zhang, even his other concubines probably couldn't compare to her.
But sometimes you can't just do things based on your personal preferences. If women aren't an option, how about going to the opera?
It seems that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty all enjoyed listening to operas and were particularly fond of opera singers. I could start by learning about this, and it could be considered a new hobby of mine.
I just don’t know what the current singing style is like. I have never heard of Yiyang Opera.
I wonder if there is such a term as Kunqu Opera nowadays?
Never mind, let’s go and listen first.
