Chapter 255 Marrying Far Away
The three winning ladies dressed up as the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the savior of suffering, and rode on sedan chairs and paraded through the streets. At the same time, Zhu Huaizhen was nestled 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 stroking it from time to time, his posture as lazy as a Persian cat.
This time, she listened to "Autumn in the Han Palace".
He, he, he, sadly bid farewell to the Han lord; I, I, I, hand in hand, ascend the Heliang Bridge. His followers entered the wilderness, while I rode the imperial carriage back to Xianyang. Returning to Xianyang, past the palace walls; past the palace walls, around the corridors; around the corridors, near the imperial chambers; near the imperial chambers, the moon dimmed; the moon dimmed, the night grew cooler; the night grew cooler, the crickets wept in the cold; the crickets wept in the cold, by the green gauze window; by the green gauze window, no thoughts!
Tu Mi had just returned from outside and was surprised to see her prince making tea.
Zhu Huaizhen, sitting on a rectangular table, arranged a gilded silver teapot, a gilded silver teacup, a gilded silver tea grinder, a gilded silver tea basket, a gilded silver tortoise box, a gilded silver salt stand, and a glazed teacup. Then, gathering his sleeves slightly, he took a fire tong in his left hand and removed a steamed green tea cake from the gilded silver teapot. He placed it on the stove to roast, and with his right hand, fanned the fire with a yellow kesi silk fan embroidered with a phoenix perched on a phoenix tree.
Zhu Huaizhen then smashed the baked tea cakes into pieces with a wooden hammer and placed them in a gilded silver tea basket. He then picked up a gilded silver tea grinder, crushed the broken tea cakes into powder, sifted it into a fine powder with a gilded silver tea sieve, and carefully poured it into a gilded silver tortoise box.
Finally, for the first boil, boil clean water and add a little snow salt, the water droplets are like fish eyes or crab eyes; for the second boil, the salt water boils again, and the bubbles are like springs; for the third boil, first scoop out a ladle of water for later use, then hold the bamboo tongs and stir it in the center of the tea pot to form a vortex, then scoop a spoonful of tea powder along the vortex and pour it in, the water vapor is like rising waves.
Zhu Huaizhen pushed the glass cup, and Tu Mi did not refuse.
"Your Highness, these three Guanyin ladies are all stunningly beautiful, so stunningly beautiful that it can be breathtaking. I've been thinking about it, and I wonder if it's because we've missed many chosen competitions that we've never seen them." Tu Mi whispered.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen seemed to be thinking about something, then shook his head and laughed.
It was only later that she realized the purpose of Emperor Chu Ming's selection of the three Guanyin ladies.
Before this, she was careless and thought that she, Princess Ronghua, had really attracted the great attention of Emperor Chu Ming.
She was originally feeling sad, thinking that these three Guanyin ladies were probably powerless to save the situation.
But I never thought that Lady Guanyin was the chosen one.
That’s right, only in this way will no one raise any objection and will just shout “Long live!”
"Your Highness, I have inquired about these three Guanyin ladies. They were all raised in the deep mountains of Nanchu. They happened to come to Jiangcheng to visit their relatives and caught up with this grand event of Tianchosen. Their relatives and friends are all very honest farmers who have never left Nanchu." Tu Mi couldn't help but frowned.
"I'm afraid you've never been out of the mountains before." Zhu Huaizhen curled the corners of his mouth with a sarcastic look.
"Your Highness means..." Tu Mi suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and was indignant.
"Tu Mi, don't be impulsive, they are doing this voluntarily." Zhu Huaizhen sighed lightly.
Because people in the mountains are easy to deceive.
Sure enough, three days later, the three Guanyin ladies voluntarily married far away. One was from Southern Yan, one was from Northern Jin, and one was from Northern Zhou, wishing that there would be no war in the world from then on.
Only someone with such a broad mind is worthy of the title of Lady Guanyin.
Emperor Chu Ming was overjoyed and made the three Guanyin ladies his sisters and named them princesses.
As the princess's parents, they rewarded her with a hundred acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of gold.
"Your Highness, this deal is really a good deal. It will allow Emperor Chu Ming to rest easy." Tu Mi sneered.
"Do you think Emperor Chu Ming can rest easy?" Zhu Huaizhen held his rosy cheek and fell into deep thought.
