So at the end of his words, he was already speaking intermittently, hesitatingly, and not daring to look at his mother-in-law.

But...but the group of dancers just now were so perfect, all of them extremely beautiful!

he wants.

Liu Shen, as the crown prince of the Chen Kingdom, had a respected status, and had a doting mother and concubine like You Lihua. Logically speaking, he should have everything he wanted.

But in fact, Prince Liu Shen did have many things, but there was only one thing that he could not think of.

That is beauty!

As Liu Shen's mother-in-law, You Lihua was very strict with him.

Especially women.

In the East Palace where the prince lives, all the maids are old women with yellow faces, and there is not a single young and beautiful girl.

You Lihua's purpose was to restrain the prince's behavior and prevent him from being exposed to women too early and becoming as indulgent as his father.

You Lihua is with Emperor Chen every day, and she is well aware of the dangers of a generation of emperors indulging in lust.

In addition to losing the body, it also ruined the state affairs. This is the most serious thing.

From a certain point of view, it is said that You Lihua was the culprit who caused Emperor Chen to "lose his body" and "waste his country's affairs" because she was the vixen who confused the emperor.

However, for her son, for the crown prince of Chen State, for the future emperor... You Lihua is extremely responsible!

She has been cultivating Chen Guo's future emperor.

Preventing the prince from being exposed to women too early is just an epitome of this.

The prince naturally knew this.

He also followed his mother and concubine's instructions on weekdays, devoted himself to studying hard, and rarely had any contact with the "bad guys" outside.

His character is as gentle as jade, and he treats others with courtesy and respect, which is very consistent with Yu Lihua's fantasy of a gentleman.

Yu Lihua is also extremely satisfied with this.

However, the dozens of dancers just now were so perfect that the prince's heart, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally agitated.

The prince had read so many books, and he longed to sit in front of his desk in the dead of night, serving tea with fine ink and red sleeves adding fragrance.

That is an elegant thing, a common pursuit of scholars!

Even the young masters of wealthy families are treated like this, but as the crown prince of a country, he only has three or two young eunuchs to serve him in his study...

The prince had had this idea a long time ago, but because of You Lihua's high expectations for him, the prince could never express it.

I was afraid that my mother and concubine would be dissatisfied.

It wasn't until just now that he saw the dozen dancing girls.

Their faces are as beautiful as hibiscus, their bodies are as soft and smooth as willows... Thinking again of the yellow-faced old woman in the East Palace, the prince almost vomited.

The desire that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time burst out at that moment.

The prince finally spoke!

However, the prince's confidence was still insufficient. By the time he said the last sentence, he was already speaking intermittently. Most of the courage he had built up in his heart was gone.

"What did you say?!"

As expected by Prince Liu Shen, You Lihua raised her eyebrows, her face suddenly became solemn, and the doting and satisfaction in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a touch of anger and disappointment.

You Lihua's words were a bit harsh. They were very different from the gentleness of the past, and there was a hint of frost in them.

The prince had obeyed You Lihua's discipline since he was a child, and he was originally afraid of his mother-in-law.

Therefore, the prince immediately shut up, lowered his head, and obeyed.

You Lihua instantly transformed into a tigress, took two steps back, stared at the obedient prince with wide eyes, and scolded: "Your Majesty, as the prince of the Chen Kingdom, you must be strict with yourself and be careful in your words and deeds. Now

All you need to do is study hard and don’t think too much about anything else!”

"Mother and Concubine are right!" The prince hurriedly bent down and agreed.

You Lihua's face softened a little, she looked at the emperor who was bent at ninety degrees, sighed slightly, and helped him up, "Your Majesty, when you become the king of a country in the future, you can choose the beauties in the world. I am the most beautiful woman in the world.

I won’t stop you!”

"My son, I know I was wrong! Please punish me, my concubine!"

"Well... Your Majesty is already seventeen years old, and he has indeed reached the age to marry. Let's do this. I will go back and have a good discussion with your father to choose a virtuous Crown Princess for you."

"My son... I will obey my mother and concubine's arrangements..."

…

Zhu Xiuyuan hugged the sandalwood box and followed the little eunuch around seven times, passing through countless gates and long corridors, making a "journey out of the palace" like a maze.

Zhu Xiuyuan hugged the sandalwood box tightly, fearing that it would fall to the ground.

If the death-free gold medal contained in it accidentally falls to the ground and is stained with a trace of dust, Zhu Xiuyuan will feel pain in his heart.

Death-free gold medal!

This is a good thing!

For this reason, Zhu Xiuyuan could ignore the court disputes, even if he got involved in those disputes, it was worth it.

Because this sign can save someone's life at a critical moment and will play a huge role!

In Zhu Xiuyuan’s opinion, what is the most important?

Of course life is the most important thing!

Having lived in two lifetimes, he understands this very well.

However, some people may want to say that this death-free gold medal is a dead thing, and it may not be able to play a role at critical moments.

In history, people who have the gold medal to avoid death and the iron certificate of elixir will inevitably end up with a violent death in the end, and there are many such people.

It seems that the death-free gold medal is a tool used by an emperor to win over people. When he needs you, the gold medal is valid, but when he wants to kill you, the gold medal is invalid...

However, in Zhu Xiuyuan's view, this is actually a relationship between "name" and "strength".

The gold medal for immunity from death can be regarded as a "name", because with it, one can legitimately be exempted from the death penalty.

Personal strength is a necessary condition to ensure that this "name" can continue.

Just imagine, if a person only has a gold medal for immunity from death, but is alone and powerless. Then his gold medal for immunity from death is just a piece of scrap metal. If the emperor turns his back on it, he will still have to die.

On the contrary, if a person has both a gold medal for immunity from death and a power that makes even the emperor fearful, then the gold medal for immunity from death can play a real role.

Even "extraordinary performance" is not impossible.

But many people are probably saying it again, Zhu Xiuyuan is just a state and county Sima, how can he have the power to "make even the emperor fear"? Isn't the death-free gold medal in your hand just a piece of scrap metal?

This is also well said.

Judging from the current situation, the death-free gold medal in Zhu Xiuyuan's hand is really just a piece of scrap metal.

However, I believe no one will really throw it away as scrap metal for this reason, right?

Keeping this death-free gold medal will at least keep the "name" item among "name" and "strength".

Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe Zhu Xiuyuan really gained the power to "make even the emperor fearful", then wouldn't this death-free gold medal come in handy?

Although this gold medal is a bit useless, it is still a treasure and a "key".

With it, you at least have a chance to save half your life...
