Watching Him Rise Up

Chen Ming'an was the Imperial Scholar whom Princess Ronghua, Zhu Huaizhen, had set her eyes on in the Golden Imperial Hall.

However, he refused the bestowed marriage, saying, "Your Hi...

Chapter 455 Preferences

Three days later, Qiu Niang had an idea.

She went to see Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen, who was listening to an opera.

Zhu Huaizhen was seen lying on a beauty couch surrounded by black lacquer and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, holding a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, moving it back and forth, his posture as lazy as a Persian cat.

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.

"Peach Blossom Fan" is Zhu Huaizhen's favorite.

"Your Highness, please listen to "The Peony Pavilion" every day from now on." Qiu Niang sighed softly.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Huaizhen ordered a play called "The Peony Pavilion".

I have been listening to "The Peony Pavilion" since I was a child.

Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu liked "The Peony Pavilion".

Murong Yueluo, the Roujia Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, also liked "The Peony Pavilion".

It turns out that all the vibrant flowers are now abandoned to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What can be done about the beautiful scenery? Who can enjoy the joyful moments? Morning flies and evening rolls away, clouds and mists adorning the emerald pavilion; raindrops and wind, misty waves and painted boats - the people of the brocade screen look down upon this beautiful time.

"Your Highness, I have decided to cater to his preferences. Since Chen Nuo admires Empress Roujia so much, I will take out treasures from the Changsheng Treasury from the period of Empress Roujia of the Great Zhou Dynasty one by one until he is moved." Qiu Niang said coldly.

This method is a bit naive.

However, Zhu Huai really didn't want to attack Qiu Niang.

"Qiu Niang, it's not that I can't bear to part with the treasures in the Changsheng Treasury, but..." Zhu Huaizhen hesitated to speak.

She did it on purpose, just a reminder.

"Your Highness, have a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall every day." Qiu Niang said coldly.

"Deal." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.

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.

Aww, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is really something you never get tired of eating.

So Qiu Niang got busy.

Today's fan is from the period of Empress Roujia of the Great Zhou Dynasty, hanging on the eighth floor.

Such as the round fan woven with ivory and inlaid with ivory dyed and carved with willow and swallow patterns, the round fan with gauze and silk appliquéd with cranes and peach trees, the round fan with kesi and sea cranes and longevity peaches, the round fan woven with ivory silk and phoenix and peony patterns, the round fan with black silk embroidered butterflies and bamboo handles, the round fan with woven grass and painted flowers and pavilions and black lacquer handles, the round fan with crimson gauze and Buddha's hand, flowers and birds patterns and sandalwood carved handles, the round fan with blue satin and flowers and butterflies and brocade edges and brown bamboo handles, the round fan with blue kesi and goldfish patterns on bamboo handles, and the round fan with pink gauze and embroidered butterflies and purple lacquer and gold-painted handles, which are all beautiful and magnificent.

It was clearly a dagger from the time of Empress Roujia of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was stuck directly on the railing on the eighth floor.

For example, the dagger with a blue-white jade handle inlaid with gems, the dagger with a copper sheath with a embossed dragon pattern, the bronze dagger with a lady, the dagger with a gold handle inlaid with jade, the dagger with a jade flower handle and a leather sheath, the dagger with a sheep's head inlaid with gems and gilt copper, the dagger with a green jade handle inlaid with gems, the bronze dagger with a rolling cloud pattern, etc., are all exquisite.

"Madam Qiu, go back and tell your prince that I will not sell Jiangxue Tower." Chen Nuo shook his head and laughed.

However, he was secretly disappointed that Xiao Ge had handed over the Changsheng Storehouse to Princess Ronghua.
