Chapter 481 Rumors
"Qiu Niang, you have died once, so you really have nothing to fear." Zhu Huaizhen sighed deeply, then smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
After hearing this, Qiu Niang remained silent.
She had heard about the rebirth of Princess Ronghua, as told by Tu Mi.
She thought it was a joke from Princess Ronghua and shouldn't take it seriously.
Now, she could see that Princess Ronghua really looked indifferent, with that detached look that only those who had experienced many vicissitudes of life could possess. She was shocked and heartbroken at the same time.
"Your Highness, don't take it lightly." Tu Mi said angrily.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen nodded perfunctorily.
You still have to listen to opera.
However, when Zhu Huaizhen was lying on a beauty couch surrounded by lacquered and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, waving a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, and moving it back and forth like a lazy Persian cat, listening to "Peach Blossom Fan", Tu Mi came upstairs angrily.
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.
"Your Highness, this is too much. They actually called you fickle. They said you kept batch after batch of beautiful actresses, and that you had some special hobby." Tu Mi gritted her teeth, and her eyes almost emitted clusters of sparks.
"That's it, it's not too much." Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
However, in order to appease Tu Mi, Zhu Huaizhen took the initiative to serve a cup of rich and bright tea, which was made of sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagulls, swan osmanthus, rose and brine, and Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea.
Unfortunately, Tu Mi didn't like this fancy tea and spit it out directly.
"Your Highness, there are even more outrageous things, but I just can't say them..." Tu Mi hesitated to speak.
Rumors spread that Princess Ronghua was not picky about food and ate both men and women. Sometimes she kept a group of male actors with red lips and white teeth, fed them secret medicine, and satisfied her demands at any time. Sometimes she would change her taste and keep a group of female actors who were gentle as water and said some sweet words, and they would volunteer.
Tu Mi heard it outside, and if Qiu Niang hadn't persuaded her in time, she would have started scolding on the spot.
Oh no, scolding him won’t suffice, I have to beat him up until he begs for mercy.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen said "oh" nonchalantly.
"Your Highness, could you please pay more attention?" Tu Mi stamped her feet anxiously.
"Tu Mi, you can't fall into the trap." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
Then, Zhu Huaizhen ordered a play called "The Injustice of Dou E".
Rumors were spread about her, which was quite unfair.
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.
"Your Highness, they also said that in addition to Chen Ming'an and Lou Li, there are also Emperor Zhao De of Chu, Duke Dingguo, Emperor Xuan of Yan, and Emperor Hui of Jin, all of whom are your slaves. You said that Duke Dingguo is old enough to be your father, so why do they throw dirty water on him?" Tu Mi continued to be indignant.
"Tu Mi, it seems that the Northern Zhou emperor, Emperor Zhao of Zhou, is missing. Add him in, no one can be missing." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
"Your Highness, if you keep joking like this, I will ignore you!" Tu Mi said angrily.
"Okay, Tu Mi, I won't tease you anymore. Just be patient. I will take action, but not now. Let the rumors ferment for a while." Zhu Huaizhen hurriedly patted Tu Mi's shoulder and stuffed a peeled and seeded chilled grape into Tu Mi's hand.
Tu Mi smashed the chilled grapes and most of his anger disappeared.
She has to believe in her prince. Her prince is just cynical, but he has the ability to conquer the world.
Haha, if Zhu Huaizhen could hear Tu Mi’s inner voice, he would probably say that he was praising her too much, that God didn’t really care about her, and even couldn’t bear to see her live a carefree life.
