Chapter 421 Death
After Wu Huifei left Xinchang, Zhu Huaizhen stayed in the tent.
As usual, she reclined on the beauty couch surrounded by black lacquer and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, fanning herself with a mahogany handle embroidered with a pomegranate, cat and butterfly pattern, moving her hands up and down, her posture as lazy as a Persian cat.
Today's song is "Peach Blossom Fan", paired with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
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.
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.
Tomorrow we will be watching "The Peony Pavilion", paired with fresh crab.
It turns out that all the vibrant flowers are now abandoned to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What can be done about the beautiful scenery? Who can enjoy the joyful moments? Morning flies and evening rolls away, clouds and mists adorning the emerald pavilion; raindrops and wind, misty waves and painted boats - the people of the brocade screen look down upon this beautiful time.
Forty large crabs, all cleaned and filled with meat, coated with peppers, ginger, garlic and flour, and then stewed with sesame oil, soy sauce and vinegar. They are fragrant, crispy and delicious.
The next one is "The Injustice of Dou E", served with boiled cabbage.
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.
The so-called boiling water is crystal clear chicken broth. It requires boiling old hen, ham, pork ribs, and dried scallops in a pot, adding cooking wine, green onions, and garlic, and simmering repeatedly. For the cabbage, use half-ripened Chinese cabbage, using only the tender, yellowed heart. Blanch it briefly and rinse with cold water.
As for "Changsheng Dian", you don't need to listen to it anymore.
Tu Mi was worried that she was feeling too uncomfortable, so she stayed with her to cheer her up.
"Your Highness, if you really can't bear it, I can help you save Concubine Wu Huifei." Tu Mi whispered.
"Tu Mi, do you think your prince is such a kind person?" Zhu Huaizhen rubbed his forehead.
In fact, Zhu Huaizhen was waiting for the opportunity.
This time was exactly the date of Wu Huifei's death.
Sure enough, Lou Li understood her little thoughts and hurried over to report the news of Concubine Wu Huifei's death.
"Ali, how can there be such a cruel and ruthless person in this world?" Zhu Huaizhen gritted his teeth, furious.
It turned out that Concubine Wu Huifei died on the way to Jinling.
Concubine Wu Huifei was raped to death by bandits.
Haha, Zhu Huaizhen arranged a guard and a coachman for Concubine Wu Hui, both of whom were highly skilled in martial arts, so it was not difficult for him to escape with Concubine Wu Hui.
Unless, those bandits wanted to humiliate Concubine Wu Huifei and then put the blame on Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen.
"What's funny is that Emperor Xuan of Yan received Concubine Wu Hui's body and posthumously named her Empress Aisi, showing extraordinary affection." Chen Ming'an pulled the corners of his mouth with a sarcastic smile.
