Chapter 230 Abdication
The Eighth Wise King Zhao De, who became a Buddhist disciple, became more and more popular.
The young emperor did not attend court for three consecutive days because he caught a cold.
After Zhu Huaizhen learned the two pieces of news, he no longer had the desire to go out.
As usual, she was nestled on the beauty couch surrounded by black lacquer and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, fanning herself with a mahogany handle embroidered with a pomegranate, cat and butterfly pattern, moving her hands up and down, her 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.
I listened to "Peach Blossom Fan" over and over again until I fell asleep.
Of course, a rich and colorful drink is indispensable, which includes sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagull, swan osmanthus, rose and brine, and Lu'an queshe bud tea.
However, unexpectedly, Zhao De actually came to visit.
Zhao De clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha."
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
He needs help from others and still pretends to be nice.
"Princess Ronghua, I have devoted myself to Buddhism, but all living beings are suffering. I cannot bear it if I don't save them." Zhao De played with the star and moon bodhi seed bracelet with a compassionate expression.
"Eighth Wise King, you don't want me to devote myself to Chen Ming'an and coax him into giving up the little emperor, right? Sorry, I don't have that ability." Zhu Huaizhen said angrily.
"Eighth Wise King, even if my prince has the ability, he will not help you. You sent a box of hairpins before, which is disgusting." Tu Mi continued.
"Princess Ronghua, the hairpin has a good meaning, you misunderstood." Zhao De shook his head and laughed.
"Okay, I'm going to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall." Zhu Huaizhen ordered the guest to leave.
But she knew that Zhao De would not give up.
That's why she wanted to use Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to embarrass him.
People with inflated desires, once they eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, are trying their best to suppress themselves.
When Zhao De saw Zhu Huaizhen eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, his veins bulged.
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.
"Eighth Wise King, don't mess with women." Zhu Huaizhen picked up a stone and smashed it at the back of Zhao De's hand, which had already been clenched into a fist.
Zhao De couldn't stand it any longer and had to say goodbye and leave.
Seven days later, the concubine dowager abdicated the throne while holding the little emperor and announced it to the world.
"Your Highness, did you give me a hint?" Tu Mi was very confused.
"He has a very high level of comprehension, but unfortunately he has a bad character. This means that Nan Chu will be destroyed tomorrow." Zhu Huaizhen held up his rosy cheeks and smiled like a flower.
After hearing this, Tu Mi was still confused.
Which sentence gave Zhao De the advice?
It turned out that Zhao De returned to Luohan Temple and meditated for three days before he realized Zhu Huaizhen's reminder.
The little emperor had a concubine who was as gentle as a cloud.
The concubine ignored court affairs and diligently cared for the young emperor, never delegating responsibility to anyone else. Over time, a deep affection developed between them. Especially when the young emperor caught a cold, she simply insisted on keeping him from court for three days, which incurred the dissatisfaction of the Lanling Xiao family.
The Queen Mother already treated the little emperor as her own son.
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.
Therefore, the Queen Mother decided to cooperate with the Eighth Wise King to ensure that the little emperor would have a safe and smooth life.
