Chapter 253 Treasure
After returning to Haiyue Cottage, Zhu Huaizhen handed the silver and gem-inlaid jewelry box to Tu Mi and ran off to listen to an opera.
When Emperor Chu Ming came to visit, Zhu Huaizhen was already lying on a 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 back and forth, 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.
Wow, this "Peach Blossom Fan", 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 Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea, life is very happy.
"Zhu Huaizhen, the moment I heard that you signed up for the Chosen One, I was very surprised, and I have been looking forward to your ability to make it to the end. As a result, you slacked off every time, and won every time, which made me very uneasy. Therefore, I must help you in the last level. In that black iron box, there are copper gilt enamel jewelry boxes inlaid with pearls and turquoise, gilt enamel jewelry boxes inlaid with garnets, jewelry boxes inlaid with gemstones and figures, pavilion-shaped silver wire jewelry inlaid jewelry boxes, white jade and gemstone jewelry boxes, blue-burned silver jewelry boxes inlaid with jade, wood-carved double-layer jewelry boxes inlaid with white jade, wood-inlaid copper-based enamel figure jewelry boxes, rosewood inlaid jade treasure ship jewelry boxes, imitation sedan chair shaped jewelry boxes, etc., all of which are precious treasures." Emperor Chu Ming had his hands behind his back, still looking very high-spirited.
"So, I am destined to be Lady Guanyin?" Zhu Huaizhen held his rosy cheeks, smiling and angry at the same time, looking very vivid.
"Princess Ronghua, you still don't seem to understand. I want a lady like Guanyin to be my virtuous concubine." Emperor Chu Ming stretched out his cold fingertips, trying to touch Zhu Huaizhen's hair, but was frightened by Tu Mi's sudden sword energy and dared not move forward.
Zhu Huaizhen uttered an "oh" and then said leisurely, "Your Majesty, why don't you give me all the remaining jewelry boxes so that you don't have to secretly destroy them to show fairness. What a waste."
After hearing this, Emperor Chu Ming nodded repeatedly and laughed heartily.
However, that day, Zhu Huaizhen received a box of gold hairpins.
Such as the silver-gilt bridge hairpin with floral pattern, the gold hairpin inlaid with gems and autumn mountain pattern, the gold hairpin with baby playing with lotus pattern, the hollow fan-shaped silver hairpin, the silver-gilt chrysanthemum pattern hairpin, the silver-footed gold phoenix hairpin, the gold hairpin with engraved floral pattern, the gilt hollow carved flower and bird pattern hairpin, the hollow silver flower hairpin with twined branches and three phoenixes and pomegranate pattern, the silver-gilt bridge hairpin with floral pattern, etc., are extremely valuable.
"Your Highness, Emperor Chu Ming is quite arrogant." Tu Mi said angrily.
The hairpin has two strands, good things come in pairs, Tu Mi doesn't want to explain anymore.
"Yeah, I feel disgusted. Let me listen to "The Injustice of Dou E" again. After all, your prince is not as wronged as Dou E." Zhu Huaizhen sighed, but his words were a bit insincere.
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.
