Luo Shuyu ate alone at noon, and started to feel sleepy after reading for a while.

　　Li Mingjin came back in the afternoon reeking of alcohol. When he heard from Qingwang that Luo Shuyu was sleeping, he went to the study to rest alone and remove the smell of alcohol.

　　Luo Shuyu didn't wake up until shen shi, and Li Mingjin was cleaning his face after the smell of alcohol had almost dissipated.

　　Luo Shuyu asked people to count the gifts that would be sent to the palace later. The royal family had a large population, so it was really difficult to take care of everything.

　　After the two tidied up, they went out.

　　It was also the first time they officially entered the palace since they came back. The welcome banquet that day was organized by Emperor Tiansheng so suddenly. Although it was rushed, it also showed that Emperor Tiansheng attached great importance to them.

　　There were still many members of the royal family on the way into the palace. Except for the elderly Houye, the carriage of Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu didn't have to give way to other people, so they went straight into the palace.

　　Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu went to see Concubine Mei first, and then went to the banquet. Of course, they arrived not too early, and the rest of the people had already arrived.

　　The fourth prince and Shen Mingyun arrived later than them. These two people had enjoyed being the center of attention and chased after by many people for half a year, so there would always be some stuck spots. According to Shen Mingyun, it was called the finale appearance. They had a position, so it was natural that they couldn't appear too early.

　　Ever since Emperor Tiansheng personally picked up Li Mingjin at the gate of the city, the fourth prince had some thoughts in his mind. He didn't want to go out late today, but he brought two children with him, and they peed a lot, therefore they took turns peeing before they went out. He wanted to arrive early, but in the end he came late.

　　Fortunately, they arrived before Emperor Tiansheng came.

　　Luo Shuyu looked at Emperor Tiansheng's eldest grandson who could walk on his own, he was carved out from the same mold as the fourth prince, no wonder he doted on this son so much.

　　Luo Shuyu was just about to praise the child for being cute and looking like his father, when the child suddenly said to the Fourth Prince: "Daddy, I want to pee!"

　　The fourth prince asked his servants to take his son to urinate, but the child was unwilling to do so. He clamored for the fourth prince to go with him, which caused the fourth prince a headache. He complained in his heart that Shen Mingyun gave the child so much water before going out, how many times did he urinate.

　　"Okay, okay, daddy will take you there, don't make any more noise."

　　The fourth prince was still a good father, and he took the child away, however Shen Mingyun didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

　　Luo Shuyu didn't think there was anything wrong, but the wives next to him started to mutter, the fourth prince's imperial concubine didn't care about the child, this was what a ger should do, how could he let the fourth prince help the child to urinate?

　　"Isn't it not good for the fourth imperial concubine to be like this?"

　　"He doesn't look like a child's father at all. The Fourth Prince treats him too kindly."

　　"I think the fourth prince must be the one who takes care of the child on weekdays. Otherwise, why would the child be so attached to him? The fourth imperial concubine is so fat because he doesn't work."

　　Shen Mingyun was systematic, and his hearing range was not small. He was criticized just because he let the fourth prince take the child to pee, and immediately he became angry. He said to the two chattering Madam Houye: What's wrong with the fourth prince taking my son to the toilet? Is it bothering you? Can't my son cling to his father? Can't men do this kind of thing?"

　　Listening to his rebuttal, Luo Shuyu felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. He felt that Shen Mingyun was quite reasonable. There was no rule that children shouldn't cling to their father, and there was no rule that fathers shouldn't help their children to urinate.

　　His voice was so loud that Luo Shuyu, who was sitting next to him and only separated by Li Mingjin, felt that his ears were about to be deafened.

　　Originally, Luo Shuyu wanted to support him on this point of view, but who knew that Shen Mingyun's next words made him swallow his thoughts back.

　　Shen Mingyun said: "Shouldn't you take a look at your own men first, don't be jealous of others if you don't have the skills yourself."

　　This Shen Mingyun was a bamboo pole overturned a boatman.

[一竿子打翻一船人 yī gānzi dǎfān yī chuán rén: one bamboo pole overturns one boatman (idiom); to unfairly categorize someone or something as being the same as another person or thing, usually in a negative manner]

　　One of the Madams who made small talk was also straightforward person, and she replied directly: "Fourth imperial concubine, we don't mean to be jealous of you, but we just think it will be more appropriate for you to do this kind of thing."

　　Shen Mingyun narrowed his eyes and said: "Are you teaching me how to conduct myself?"
