Chapter 241 Proud
After the auspicious sign, Zhu Huaizhen started going out to play.
"Your Highness, you are not afraid of meeting acquaintances." Tu Mi joked.
In fact, Tu Mi was happy, and Zhu Huaizhen really wanted to go out more often.
I stay in Haiyue Cottage all day, eating, sleeping and listening to operas. I am almost as lazy as a pig.
"They are busy and don't have time." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
Zhu Huaizhen is telling the truth.
Chen Ming'an, the prince of Duke Dingguo of Southern Yan, is still thinking about how to overthrow Emperor Chu Ming and how to establish a puppet emperor.
Lou Li, the commander of the Jinyiwei of Southern Yan, was ordered by the emperor of Southern Yan to secretly investigate the forces of Northern Jin and Northern Zhou lurking in Southern Chu.
As for Emperor Ming of Chu, he was in high spirits and began to enjoy the pleasure of being an emperor.
Sure enough, Zhu Huaizhen turned around and yawned continuously, but no one bothered him.
"Your Highness, why don't we buy some soul-soothing incense?" Tu Mi sighed.
The main ingredients of soul-soothing incense are agarwood, benzoin, frankincense, angelica root, fennel, and honey. First, clean the agarwood and, while still damp, pound it in a stone mortar with the benzoin until it is coarsely granulated. Add the frankincense and pound it into a fine powder. Next, soak the angelica root and fennel in light salt water for three incense sticks, remove them, dry them, and grind them into a fine powder. Next, grind the two incense powders further until they are even finer. There are two ways to use this incense: one is to mold it into seal incense and burn it before bed to promote sleep. The other is to add an appropriate amount of honey to the final incense powder and make incense pills, about the size of mung beans. Then, use the frying method to force out the aroma. Use the remaining ash to make small pills, which can be taken with water before bed to soothe the mind and aid digestion.
Tu Mi guessed this, and Zhu Huai was really worrying too much.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen nodded rapidly.
If you don’t get enough sleep, your body will collapse. The most important thing is to save your life.
"Good news, very good news, His Majesty wants to rebuild the Guanyin Tower!" Someone held up a notice and shouted with joy.
"Rebuild the Guanyin Tower?" Zhu Huaizhen couldn't help but frown.
This Guanyin Tower was used by Emperor Cheng of Chu to persecute young girls from Southern Chu, and was forcibly demolished by Zhu Huaizhen.
Now that it is going to be rebuilt, no matter how high-sounding the reasons are, the motives are sinister.
"Your Highness, he has only been emperor for a few months, but he has become so complacent that he even wants to emulate Emperor Cheng of Chu." Tu Mi lowered his voice, clenched his fists, and was extremely angry.
"Just listen." Zhu Huaizhen rubbed his forehead.
So Tu Mi squeezed into the crowd to find out.
It turned out that Emperor Chu Ming had issued an imperial decree, saying that every inch of land in Jiangcheng was valuable and should not be left to waste, so he planned to rebuild the Guanyin Tower to enrich the lives of the people in Jiangcheng.
The first grand event after the reconstruction of the Guanyin Tower was the selection of three Guanyin ladies.
Lady Guanyin is as beautiful as a flower, versatile, gentle and generous, and represents the dignity of the people of Southern Chu.
Lady Guanyin, regardless of her background, could marry into the royal family, or at least become a concubine listed in the imperial genealogy, and enjoy a life of wealth and glory without end.
Of course, if Lady Guanyin was willing to marry far away, she would move to Guanyin Tower and enjoy the treatment of a princess. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, tens of thousands of people would hold incense and kneel down to worship her.
"Your Highness, this is just a talent show." Tu Mi sighed tiredly.
Madam Nan Chu, who had finally walked out of the shadow of the Guanyin Tower, was now trapped in another Guanyin Tower.
"Tu Mi, why don't we sign up and go have some fun." Zhu Huaizhen smiled, his eyes clear and bright.
"Your Highness, you must be joking." Tu Mi was a little helpless.
However, Zhu Huaizhen was serious for once and pulled Tu Mi to register his name.
