Chapter 442 Farewell

After a long talk, Emperor Hui of Jin never went to see Zhu Huaizhen again.

According to Tu Mi, Emperor Hui of Jin was bedridden, holding a medicine jar.

Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu begged Qiu Niang many times before Qiu Niang focused on treating Emperor Hui of Jin and only took out some time every day to cook Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for Zhu Huaizhen.

Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.

After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen yawned and continued listening to the opera.

Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.

For some reason, she couldn't concentrate on listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".

So she ordered "The Injustice of Dou E" to give it a try.

The sun and moon hang in the sky at dawn and dusk, and spirits wield the power of life and death. Heaven and earth, supposed to distinguish between the clear and the turbid, yet how could they have confused Dao Zhi and Yan Yuan? Those who do good suffer poverty and a shorter life, while those who commit evil enjoy wealth and longevity. Heaven and earth, seemingly coveting the strong and bullying the weak, yet they also seem to go along with the tide. Earth, if you can't distinguish between good and evil, what are you called Earth? Heaven, you misjudge the wise and the foolish, unworthy of being Heaven! Alas, all I can do is shed tears.

Okay, I still can’t listen.

She simply stopped listening.

"Your Highness, Princess Rongyang wants to come over for dinner and to listen to a play." Tu Mi said softly.

After saying that, Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips and rolled his eyes.

He didn't just want to come here to have dinner and watch a play, but also to say goodbye to her.

She thought that her elder sister was not the first person to say goodbye to her.

Sure enough, she overthought it.

Perhaps Emperor Hui of Jin was not used to the climate there, so his elder sister set off in a hurry.

"I only have abalone to eat here." Zhu Huaizhen said angrily.

The wrinkled abalone has a large and solid shell with three layers of conch. It can be steamed with chopped peppers, braised, or used in chicken soup. The meat is tender and flexible with an excellent taste.

Nanri abalone is brightly colored, with holes in its shell and barnacles. It has a tender and delicate texture and is also very delicious when braised, steamed, or used in soups.

Jipin abalone originates from Fuso. This tiny nation has been destroyed and revived, reborn and lost again, like a centipede that persists even after death. However, Fuso's Jipin abalone is smaller, shaped like a gold ingot, and is deliciously stewed, sashimi-cooked, and braised.

Black abalone is jet black and several times larger than other abalone. It is used for sashimi, pan-frying, and dicing. It has a sweet and mellow taste, a firm and elastic texture, and a fresh and tender taste.

Red abalone is huge in size and has a brick-red appearance. It is used for sashimi, sliced ​​and stir-fried, and salt-baked. Its meat is thick, tender and delicious.

The small Hema abalone lives in rock crevices and is hung on hooks to dry in the sun. It is used for sashimi and soup. Its golden color and tender meat make it an excellent dried abalone.

Zhu Huaizhen did what he said and only ate abalone meals, including stir-fried pork belly abalone, abalone with okra and scallion oil, cold abalone with bitter melon, steamed abalone with vermicelli and garlic, abalone stewed with local chicken soup, braised abalone, salt-baked abalone, fried abalone, golden millet abalone soup, and abalone and oyster porridge.

"Zhen'er, I'm pregnant again." Zhu Huaishu said softly, holding a bowl of abalone and chicken soup.

"Big sister, why don't you wait until the full term is over before leaving?" Zhu Huaizhen asked anxiously.

"Zhen'er, since she can't be born, it's better for her to find a position of imperial concubine for me." Zhu Huaishu said slowly.

"Big sister, if I want her to be born, she can be born!" Zhu Huaizhen stood up and said angrily.

"Don't worry, it's a false pregnancy." Zhu Huaishu shook his head and laughed.

"Is it true?" Zhu Huaizhen was skeptical and immediately came over to check Zhu Huaishu's pulse.

Well, Zhu Huaizhen couldn’t figure out the reason.

"Big sister, don't lie to me..." Zhu Huaizhen pouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Huaishu hugged Zhu Huaizhen.

Zhu Huaishu did not deceive Zhu Huaizhen.

Zhu Huaishu knew that she might still love Emperor Hui of Jin, but was temporarily unwilling to bear a child for him. Even if the child was born, it would be difficult for it to survive, so why bother himself?
