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 518: Protecting Shortcomings
Chen Liang carried Zhao Lian'er and went to Taoyao Tower.
"Mr. Chen, Zhao Lian'er is not welcome here." Tu Mi picked up the broom and stood at the door.
"Madam Tu Mi, it was your prince who made an appointment with me." Chen Liang said coldly.
"Then let's make an appointment another day." Tu Mi said annoyedly.
"Madam Tu Mi, please pass the message on for me." Chen Liang sighed helplessly.
So Tu Mi went upstairs, then turned back with a long face.
Obviously, Princess Ronghua wants to see you.
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.
Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen was lying on a beauty couch surrounded by lacquered and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings. She was fanning herself with a mahogany handle and a silk fan embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies. She was stroking it intermittently, her posture as lazy as a Persian cat, while listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".
"Mr. Chen, do you know why I want to see you?" Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
Chen Liang carefully placed Zhao Lian'er on the rose chair, then replied slowly, "I don't know."
"Mr. Chen, you don't have to come to Taoyao Tower anymore." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
Zhu Huaizhen meant that Chen Liang chose Zhao Lian'er.
"Princess Ronghua, what you did is a bit unreasonable." Chen Liang said lightly.
"Mr. Chen, I'm not being unreasonable. You just offended Tu Mi, which means you offended me. It's not important whether Zhao Lian'er enters Taoyao Tower or not. It's just that you shouldn't ignore Tu Mi's words." Zhu Huaizhen smiled brightly, his grape eyes clear and bright.
After saying this, Zhu Huaizhen continued to listen to the opera.
Of course, she neither paid any attention to Chen Liang nor drove him away.
Ah! I feel a sense of sadness towards this desolate wilderness. The grass has already turned yellow, and rabbits are already bracing for frost. Dogs have lost their fur, men are sharpening their tasseled spears, horses are laden with luggage, carts are carrying provisions, and hunting grounds are being set up. He, he, he, sadly bid farewell to the Han lord; I, I, I, I, hand in hand, go up to Heliang. His followers enter the wilderness; I return to Xianyang in the imperial carriage. Returning to Xianyang, passing the palace walls; passing the palace walls, circling the corridors; circling the corridors, near the imperial chambers; near the imperial chambers, the moon is dim; the moon is dim, the night is cool; the night is cool, and I cry in the stinging cold; I cry in the stinging cold, by the green gauze window; the green gauze window, I don't think about you!
Zhu Huaizhen was listening to "Autumn in the Han Palace" accompanied by Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
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.
At this moment, Zhao Lian'er woke up with her eyes closed.
Chen Liang actually fought against Princess Ronghua for her.
She knew that Chen Liang had no love for her.
However, this kind of thought is very heartwarming.
So, she slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Chen Liang, then at Zhu Huaizhen, then stood up and bowed gracefully: "Princess Ronghua, sorry to bother you. We are leaving now."
"Madam Zhao, there's no need to be polite with Princess Ronghua. I won't come to Taoyao Tower anymore. I think of other ways to repay the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin." Chen Liang held Zhao Lian'er's hand tightly and turned to leave.
Mr. Chen acts very cleanly and efficiently.
Zhao Lian'er couldn't help but feel good about Chen Liangxin.
However, just having a good impression is not enough.
Zhao Lian'er was a little worried about Chen Liang's wealth.
