When the banquet began, the banquet ministers began to sit down, it turned out that Liu Yu even ordered to let the courtesans in front of the ministers to perform striptease. The Empress, who was sitting next to Liu Yu in front of many ministers at the time, felt incredibly embarrassed, so she covered her face with a fan.
