Chapter 256 Making Provocations
The three Guanyin ladies were quite popular in Southern Yan, Northern Zhou and Northern Jin.
For the sake of Lady Guanyin, Emperor Xuan of Yan used his private treasury and spent a large sum of money to build a Star-Picking Tower, where he enjoyed singing and dancing every night and even postponed the morning court session for an hour.
For the sake of Lady Guanyin, Emperor Zhao of Zhou summoned the young men from the opera troupes all over the country to praise her beauty and compiled a booklet that was similar to obscene lyrics and songs.
For the sake of Lady Guanyin, Emperor Hui of Jin made a promise to be with her forever, and even dismissed the concubines who had no children from the palace and asked them to remarry.
Each one was more absurd than the other, making Emperor Ming of Chu look even more wise.
Therefore, the people of Nanchu thought that Nanchu would live a peaceful life.
"Tu Mi, there is a letter that requires you to go to Beijin in person. I want to confirm that my elder sister is really safe. If not, knock her out and take her away, and burn this letter immediately." Zhu Huaizhen stuffed a roll of parchment into the hollow golden hairpin, his expression extremely solemn.
"What about His Highness? Will Emperor Chu Ming find trouble if I'm not here?" Tu Mi asked.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen shook his head slightly.
Emperor Chu Ming was busy enjoying himself secretly.
He wanted to be emperor, not for the country or the people, but to fight for supreme power and wealth.
So, as usual, Zhu Huaizhen reclined on a beauty couch surrounded by scrolls of poetry and paintings embroidered with gold and painted in black lacquer, wielding a rosewood-handled fan embroidered with pomegranates, cats, and butterflies. He flicked his hand, his posture languid as that of a Persian cat, listening to "Peach Blossom Fan" for fear of startling the sleeping birds with the dew and the wind ruffling the locust trees in the courtyard. Watching the Milky Way slant across the steps, unmoved by the finest dust. Moon, you are as thin as a bow, half toad, yet bright as a mirror, reflecting the three thousand worlds, yet cold as ice, soaking the twelve jade terraces. Forbidden from the auspicious mist, I offer my deepest worship to the round, bright moon. It's convenient for you, and it's not a problem for me. Deeply worship you, Chang'e, for not being jealous of her beauty, how dare you be even a moment shrouded in mist and cloud.
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.
During this period, Emperor Chu Ming, Chen Ming'an and Lou Li all came.
Emperor Chu Ming just glanced at it casually and turned away.
Haha, what else is there to see about Zhu Huaizhen besides eating, sleeping and listening to operas?
Instead, Chen Mingan came over and asked, "Zhenzhen, why isn't Tumi here?"
"Tu Mi went out to buy rose soy sauce chicken for me. This is a Lingnan delicacy, and I suddenly wanted to eat it. She probably had to go to a few more restaurants." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
This is not the first time that Tu Mi has run errands like this.
Chen Mingan didn't think much about it. He stayed with Zhu Huaizhen and listened to the opera for a while before leaving.
Zhu Huaizhen specially ordered a play called "Wall Horse" because Chen Ming'an didn't ask any questions.
Afraid of dew startling the sleeping birds, the wind ruffles the courtyard locust trees. Behold the Milky Way slanting across the steps, unmoved by the wispy dust. Moon, you are as thin as a bow, half a toad, yet bright as a mirror, reflecting the universe, yet cold as ice, soaking the twelve celestial peaks. Forbidden from the auspicious mist, I offer my deepest worship to the full moon. It's convenient for you, and it's not a hindrance to me. Deeply worship you, Chang'e, for not being jealous of your beauty, how dare you remain shrouded in mist and cloud for even a moment.
We looked at each other from afar on the wall and on horseback, and my heart was broken as soon as I saw you.
I guess Chen Mingan misses Zhao Lian'er very much. Zhu Huaizhen is quite considerate.
As for Lou Li, he stayed with Zhu Huaizhen and slept night after night without saying anything, until Tu Mi came back alone and brought news that was unfavorable to Nan Chu.
