Chapter 120 Listening to Opera
Zhu Huaizhen spent a lot of money to watch the opera.
She chose a black lacquered beauty couch with gold-painted poems and paintings and scrolls painted around it, so that she could listen to operas comfortably in the future.
She also bought a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, and used it to beat the rhythm when she had nothing to do.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Prince Chen broke in and stopped your play." Tu Mi whispered.
"Tu Mi, you are too naive." Zhu Huaizhen teased. He was already lying on the 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, and moving it up and down, his posture as lazy as a Persian cat.
It is said that Empress Roujia liked this posture when listening to opera.
"Tu Mi, Chen Ming'an has his pride. He lost his composure twice on the wedding night. Once he went to Liuting Tower under the pretext of being drunk, and once he was tricked into having physical contact with Gao Yan'er. He will definitely not disturb me from watching opera. Besides, this opera troupe was given by my mother-in-law, so he has to respect it." Zhu Huaizhen held up his rosy cheeks, smiling, his eyes moving.
Moreover, she could not attend a play for more than a few days, so she would listen to as many plays as she could.
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.
She likes "Peach Blossom Fan", which is paired with a rich and colorful cup of sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagull, swan osmanthus, rose and brine, and Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea.
The warm, mellow jade wine, white and cool like water, is likely filled with tears of longing. I fear I won't even be able to eat the food before me, my stomach filled with resentment. "Empty fame in a snail's horn, tiny profit in a fly's head," the mandarin ducks are torn apart. One on this side, the other on that, each sighing deeply.
Taohua likes "The West Chamber".
Zhu Huaizhen also ate the cakes that Taohua liked, such as honey-floating crispy pear blossoms, spring water, ice and snow cold yuanzi, Bijian bean cake, Qiongye cake, buttered abalone, big resistant dates, Jiandao sugared lychees, lotus crisps, rice moon cakes and so on.
Ah, seeing the child lying in a pool of blood. One was crying and wailing, the other was complaining and anxious, and even I was shaking. Such cruelty and cruelty are simply injustice! Ah, thinking about the child from the bed, it has been ten days since today, how could he linger under the knife? All the hard work is in vain, and what's the point of talking about preparing for old age?
Xiao Ge likes "The Orphan of Zhao".
Zhu Huaizhen listened and fell asleep repeatedly.
By the way, Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu also came to visit her and ordered a performance of "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.
Empress Roujia loved "The Peony Pavilion" the most, so the elder sister liked it too.
"Princess Xincheng is ill and needs to take medicine constantly. I think she can listen to your play for a month." Zhu Huaishu said slowly.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen suddenly sat up, looked at Zhu Huaishu, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Her elder sister's hands could actually stretch so long.
Zhu Huaizhen couldn't help but think a lot and even felt a little suspicious of Zhu Huaishu.
"Zhen'er, except you, I have no relatives in this world." Zhu Huaishu suddenly hugged Zhu Huaizhen.
Zhu Huaizhen immediately understood that Gao Yan'er was able to climb onto Chen Ming'an's bed because of her elder sister's involvement.
What's funny is that Zhao Lian'er thought that by betraying Chen Ming'an's innocence, she could get three chess pieces, namely Gao Yan'er, Mrs. Chen, and the old lady.
