No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Hongshi knelt on the ground and trembled. He took the kick head-on and didn't dare to say a word.

He felt that he was really wronged. He raised his eyes to glance at the Fourth Master's expression and could only kneel down and take the scolding.

The Fourth Master was very good to all the children, especially after Honghui was made the Crown Prince, he was very tolerant and kind to the other children.

As long as it is not a mistake of principle, he will act like a kind father and will not punish the person if he can get away with it.

After all, he had learned the lesson of Emperor Kangxi. He couldn't let all the children compete to be the dragon. Wouldn't that cause chaos?

Now that Honghui has become a dragon, it is a good choice for others to be a comfortable and idle prince, or to go overseas to fight for other bases.

But today, facing Hongshi, he really couldn't help it!

"How can a person be so stupid?!" The Fourth Master was really angry.

He couldn't say that he had never made a mistake in his life, but when it came to matters of right and wrong, he was never wrong.

But his son actually thought that people with bound feet walked in a very charming way, and he was the first to take the lead in starting this trend.

"Do you know how many women had their legs broken by their parents because of your beautiful words?"

"Do you know how much blood and tears they shed when they endure such pain?"

Hongshi almost buried his head in his chest like an ostrich, but he felt more and more resentful in his heart.

He didn't force those people to do anything. He just praised them a few words and participated in a few poetry gatherings.

How did he become the culprit? ! ! !

The Fourth Master was very sharp-eyed. Even his lowered head became a sign of dissatisfaction. He patted the table and said, "What are you dissatisfied with? Tell me!"

He and Cha Cha's people will investigate thoroughly and will definitely not wrongly accuse him.

Hongshi really felt that he was wronged, and the Fourth Master was a gentle and kind father before. At least as far as he could remember, he allowed his children to argue for themselves.

Although the Fourth Master's face was very dark at the moment, Hongshi bravely began to speak: "Father, I really didn't mean to do this."

"It's true that everyone was chatting on the pleasure boat, so I just followed suit and made a few compliments."

"Besides, that poem wasn't written by me alone. Everyone wrote it. It's just some unpresentable words."

Everyone drank and said that the geishas with bound feet walked in a very charming manner, so they just wrote a few poems on it.

Later, when everyone went to listen to music and drink, there were more geishas with bound feet. Didn't that cause trouble?

How could he have known that such a trend would suddenly emerge in the capital?

"Are you just saying that?" The Fourth Master threw a pile of poems copied by his subordinates in his face and said, "Look at how much you have written."

"In just one year, you spent almost every ten-day holiday in the brothel."

"You write about this today and that tomorrow, and every time you write something different, don't you think you're being wronged?!"

Rice paper flew all over the sky, and Hongshi was really dumbfounded.

He is not very well educated, so how could he write so many poems?

So except for a few of his masterpieces, the others were written for him or taught by his friends.

But in order to show off, he signed all these poems himself!

It was because of this that all the others were picked out and he became the culprit.

After all, after these written records were spread, many bookstores rushed to print and sell them. He was praised so much during that time that he almost thought he was the immortal poet who had descended to earth.

If Hongli had not specially issued a flying flower order in the Imperial College when he saw that he was too arrogant, he would not have understood the whole round and would have faced the reality.

He argued, "Father, this really wasn't written by me alone, was it?!"

"This was all just a joke, I don't know how it got out..."

"I don't know how it got out?" The Fourth Master didn't even bother to get angry. He said coldly, "You clearly knew it got out. Did you stop it the first time you discovered it?"

"After you knew it would get out, did you stop signing your name?"

Hongshi was speechless: "Son..."

"Shut up!" The Fourth Master had a bad temper and it was hard to suppress it. "I'll help you speak."

"You didn't think it was wrong, you were secretly delighted, and even condoned others to write such obscene lyrics and music in your name."

"You're not even bad, you're a jerk!"

"Those people are setting you up. They're probably all afraid you'll find out, so they're all terrified."

"And you, an idiot, didn't even have the slightest bit of vigilance, happily jumping into someone else's trap!"

If I had known that a good child would grow up to be such a fool, I would rather have been as stupid as Hongyu!

At least Hongyu would never do such a thing. Sometimes he would even show concern for his health and be considerate.

Hongshi: ...You already know everything, what else do you want me to say?

I can only blame myself for my bad luck!

However, he did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time. After all, he was a prince, the emperor's biological son.

Besides, although those women sound a bit pitiful, didn’t having bound feet give them an advantage when it came to marriage?

It's fine if you don't thank him, but you can't blame him, right?

Not to mention that he didn't force anyone to do that, nor did he cut off anyone's legs himself.

The emperor would just scold him in anger, or at most give him a symbolic punishment of house arrest and kneeling.

No one knows a son better than his father. Looking at Hongshi's attitude, he knew that he didn't think this was a big deal from the bottom of his heart.

He closed his eyes and said coldly, "Since you have realized that it was your mistake, then experience the pain of foot binding."

After all, he is his own son. After the Fourth Master said this, his voice became quite hoarse.

Hongshi was dumbfounded when he heard this - no, that was his foot!

At this point, he finally no longer felt that walking with bound feet and making it stagger was something very charming.

For him, it was real pain.

He was not a strong man, and he immediately fell to the ground and begged for mercy: "Father Emperor, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

Lin Mingyan originally didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the father and son, but when she saw that the Fourth Master really punished Hongshi, she had no choice but to persuade him:

"Your Majesty, Hongshi is still young and may not understand things. Please forgive him this time!"

If it were someone else, she certainly wouldn't plead.

But this is Hongshi, the only normal prince besides her children.

If she really had to watch the Fourth Master break his leg, her reputation would be in jeopardy.

Besides, she thought Hongshi was just a shield and the real mastermind might not be him.

After all, even if he praised it or wrote a poem about it, there's no reason why it would spread so quickly, and the trend wouldn't be normal...
