Chapter 216 Love River
"Zhen'er, what kind of play do you want to listen to? Today's troupe is the best in Nanchu. They can sing "Peach Blossom Fan", "Peony Pavilion", "Wall Horse", "Romance of the West Chamber", "Autumn in the Han Palace", "The Palace of Eternal Youth", "The Orphan of Zhao" and many other pieces." Chen Ming'an spoke softly, like a spring breeze.
"Do you have "The Injustice of Dou E"? " Zhu Huaizhen held up her rosy cheeks, smiling like a flower, her eyes moving.
"Yes." Chen Mingan pondered for a moment.
It’s not that Chen Ming’an is suspicious, but that Chen Ming’an has never heard that Zhu Huaizhen likes "The Injustice of Dou E".
Moreover, Princess Ronghua has been rich and prosperous since she was born, which is a world of difference from Dou E's fate.
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.
The Huadan who played Dou E on the stage sang with deep emotion and infectious power.
"Ming'an, I still want to listen to 'Zhao Pan'er Saves the Wind and Dust'." Zhu Huai was so obsessed with watching that he didn't even want to blink his grape eyes.
After hearing this, Chen Mingan's hand holding the Shuanglong Begonia luminous cup trembled slightly.
Since the fall of Southern Wu, Zhu Huaizhen has always called Chen Ming'an by his full name.
This time, I don’t know whether he deliberately forgot or because he was deeply in love.
Is the marriage book entirely up to you and me? Who doesn't want to find someone they like? He's been picking and choosing for a thousand times. If he wants to marry an honest man, he's afraid they'll never find a match; if he wants to marry a smart man, he's afraid he'll be abandoned along the way. Don't hide in dog poop, don't hide in cow dung. If you suddenly get hit by a slut, who can you blame with your eyes open?
"A wise man does not fall in love." Zhu Huaizhen muttered to himself.
After hearing this, Chen Mingan felt a little guilty.
If only he hadn't lied to Zhenzhen in the first place.
As soon as she finished speaking, the actress who played Zhao Pan'er suddenly used her lightness skill to float on the water. She floated in front of Zhu Huaizhen and knelt on the ground. Tears and powder flowed down her face, and a face that was three-quarters similar to the empress dowager gradually became clear.
Seeing this, Chen Mingan suddenly realized.
Sure enough, Zhu Huaizhen was not here to listen to the opera.
"Princess Ronghua, I want to sue the current empress dowager for substituting a cat for the prince!" Hua Dan sobbed, her eyes full of resentment.
"Someone, come and beat this nonsense actor to death with sticks!" The Queen Mother stood up, poured wine all over herself, and was furious.
However, in the huge palace, no one obeyed her orders.
"Master Xiao, don't forget, my son is the little emperor." The empress dowager suppressed her anger, her eyes blurred with tears, and she looked pitiful.
Instantly, the baby in the cradle let out a loud cry, echoing the empress dowager.
"Let's listen to this actor sing another stanza. I've listened to "The Injustice of Dou E" several times and it's very boring." The head of the Xiao family unfolded an ebony bone and gold-painted floral folding fan, looking very elegant and dashing.
"Master Xiao, between you and me..." The Queen Mother was at a loss and cried even harder.
She thought that after days of passionate lovemaking and endless nights of sweet talk, Patriarch Xiao was truly affectionate towards her. Otherwise, if she wanted anything like the Butterfly Love Flower, Pomegranate, and Ruyi Tortoise Shell Silk Hairpin, the Red Gold Fiber Hairpin with Rubies, the Bat-patterned and Glazed Beads and Trembling Branches Gold Hairpin, the Nine-turn Chain Beads Red Gold Double Phoenix Hairpin inlaid with Jade and Seven Treasures, the Gold Fiber Hairpin with Rubies and Double Phoenixes inlaid with Kingfisher Feathers, the Gold Silk Hairpin with Five Treasures and Oriental Pearls and Peacock Spreading its Tail, the Rose Quartz Twin Begonia Winged Jade Phoenix Hairpin, the Burnt Blue Peony Crystal Hairpin, the Four-butterfly Gold Hairpin inlaid with Red, Blue, and Green Gemstones, and the Emerald Red Gold Phoenix Hairpin, the Xiao Patriarch would have allowed the palace to purchase them.
