Chapter 400: Proposal
The saying that Concubine Wu Huifei was born with the destiny of a phoenix becomes more and more vivid.
Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu sent a letter of truce to Emperor Xuan of Yan, stating that as long as Emperor Xuan of Yan voluntarily handed over Concubine Wu Huifei, she would lead the Red Dan Army to withdraw from Jinling City.
"Big sister, you are feeling sorry for someone you have never met before." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
It was Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen who loved listening to opera, but it was the eldest sister who was easily immersed in the opera.
Tsk tsk, Zhu Huaizhen was 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 from time to time, as lazy as a Persian cat, listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".
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.
On a whim today, she ate three bowls of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
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.
"Zhen'er, I don't feel sorry for her. She can save herself." Zhu Huaishu sighed.
"Then big sister, why don't you add another letter of truce? If Emperor Xuan of Yan is unwilling to hand over Concubine Wu Huifei and serve Jiangcheng, then kill a hundred people every day until the city is empty." Zhu Huaizhen touched his chin and smiled meaningfully.
"Zhen'er, if you do this, won't the killing be too severe? Those killed before all deserved it. If you keep killing, we won't be able to find the people who committed such heinous crimes." Zhu Huaishu said angrily.
"In the third year of Xuanhe, a flood occurred in Jinling, submerging the Taoye Ferry. Above the Taoye Ferry was a dam supervised by the Ministry of Works that year. It collapsed in an instant." Chen Mingan said coldly.
"In the fifth year of Xuanhe, an earthquake occurred in Nanjing. Most of the buildings supervised by the Ministry of Works collapsed, killing many passers-by." Chen Mingan continued.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your assistance." Zhu Huaishu bowed deeply.
So, Zhu Huaishu became busy, but Zhu Huaizhen had the leisure time to listen to a performance of "Changsheng Dian".
Please ask, ask, the flower calyx is delicate, I'm afraid, afraid, afraid, it's not as better as the flowers in the east of the building, yes, yes, yes, yes, that plum branch once occupied the first spring, and why should I be entangled by green willows, please, please, please, please be sincere to my old friend, so as not to be blamed for my lack of love, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, I bid farewell to the past, your kindness is as high as the sky, I pay my deep affection from the beginning, please, please, please, you can see the old things by yourself, tears are thrown away.
"Your Highness, Emperor Zhao of Zhou actually wants to marry Concubine Wu Huifei!" Tu Mi hurried into the tent.
"He's quite quick." Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid? Northern Zhou's request to marry Concubine Wu Huifei is fake, and its real intention is to seek an opportunity to cooperate with Southern Yan." Tu Mi frowned.
"He is not really asking for marriage, he is just testing Emperor Xuan of Yan's attitude towards Concubine Wu Hui. To put it bluntly, he is just bored. He would not be so greedy as to annex both Southern Yan and Southern Chu. Northern Jin would be the first to disagree. Besides, Princess Rongyang is also the concubine of Emperor Hui of Jin. The two have not abandoned each other. Northern Jin has sufficient reason to help Princess Rongyang as long as he dares to act rashly." Chen Ming'an said coldly.
"Ming'an, you are very familiar with Emperor Zhao of Zhou." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
"He is a genius and also a madman." Chen Mingan pondered for a moment.
