Chapter 497 Meeting
"That makes sense." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
Then she turned over and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Tu Mi and Qiu Niang simply retreated and went to the first floor to watch the fun.
Concubine Zhao Shu and Zhao Lian'er, the noble ladies brought this time, were all engaged in verbal battles.
Some cite classics to prove that beauty is not a curse. For example, a stunningly beautiful woman, bearing a deep blood feud, journeyed to an enemy kingdom and became its favorite concubine. She seduced the king, appointed corrupt officials, and spent recklessly. Ultimately, the enemy kingdom was destroyed, and she was about to retire, only to be thrown into a pond by her own king because of her breathtaking beauty. This beauty was a savior for her country.
Some spoke passionately, listing historical women who were no less capable than their male counterparts. For example, Empress Roujia of the Zhou Dynasty reigned for thirty years, promoting construction projects, building the Great Wall, advancing technology, fostering talent, building a powerful army, defending the frontiers, promoting craftsmen, and encouraging commerce. Each of the 360 trades flourished. Another example is Concubine Qian Qiqi of the Chu Dynasty, born with the fate of a phoenix. She used killing to stop killing, conquered battlefields, and achieved remarkable military exploits, earning her everlasting glory. Another example is Qiao Dianhua, a renowned craftsman of the Yan Dynasty. She experienced three ups and downs, studied under a master, and never gave up.
Others were more outspoken, comparing men and women.
Tsk tsk, you don’t know until you compare, and you’ll be shocked once you do.
In every family, every clan, it may seem like the man is the breadwinner and the woman is the homemaker, but in reality, it's the woman who controls the overall situation. If the woman is lazy and doesn't manage the household, then the family is doomed and the clan will decline.
Of course, there were also many noble men who frequented Taoyao Tower and were very angry when they heard these remarks.
They argued with the noble lady so fiercely that even the opera troupe quieted down on their own initiative.
"It's so noisy that I can't even listen to "Autumn in the Han Palace." Zhu Huaizhen sighed.
Ah! I feel a sense of sadness towards this desolate wilderness. The grass has already turned yellow, and rabbits are already bracing for frost. Dogs have lost their fur, men are sharpening their tasseled spears, horses are laden with luggage, carts are carrying provisions, and hunting grounds are being set up. He, he, he, sadly bid farewell to the Han lord; I, I, I, hand in hand, go up Heliang. His followers enter the wilderness; I return to Xianyang in the imperial carriage. Returning to Xianyang, passing the palace walls; passing the palace walls, circling the corridors; circling the corridors, near the imperial chambers; near the imperial chambers, the moon is dim; the moon is dim, the night is cool; the night is cool, and I cry in the stinging cold; I cry in the stinging cold, by the green gauze window; the green gauze window, I do not think!
Well, after thinking about it, Zhu Huaizhen simply had a bowl 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.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to meet Concubine Zhao Shufei?" Tu Mi asked softly.
"Your Highness, Concubine Zhao Shu is not very favored. Emperor Zhao of Zhou probably visits her two or three times a month." Tu Mi continued.
"Can she bear it?" Zhu Huaizhen suddenly asked.
After she finished speaking, Tu Mi's face flushed red, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Qiu Niang, on the other hand, went out to inquire and returned: "Your Highness, from a rough investigation, I found that Emperor Zhao of Zhou never asked for water when he visited her."
"Actually, it's not appropriate to wash immediately after the Wushan Cloud Rain." Zhu Huaizhen said sullenly.
Zhu Huaizhen almost said that she was too lazy to take a bath.
"Your Highness, let's talk business." Tu Mi coughed lightly, his ears still burning red.
"Then let's meet." Zhu Huaizhen answered decisively.
