Chapter 543 Confrontation
Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu finally walked out when Taoyao Tower collapsed.
She didn't dare look back and kept walking forward until she left Shangjing, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, Zhu Huaizhen had already rented an inn near Taoyao Tower and was resting there with Tumi, Qiuniang, and Louli. As for the Taoyao Army, they had already dispersed, leaving only a small troupe of opera performers.
"Ali, please light a piece of incense for me to comfort my soul." Zhu Huaizhen said sullenly.
She knew she was doing the right thing.
But she will be sad.
I feel sad for myself and for my elder sister.
This world is not that difficult for her.
Since she enjoys wealth and glory, she should shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.
Regardless of whether she admits the responsibility or not.
People must have some faith in their lives, otherwise they are no different from animals.
The main ingredients of soul-soothing incense are agarwood, benzoin, frankincense, angelica root, fennel, and honey. First, clean the agarwood and, while still damp, pound it in a stone mortar with the benzoin until it is coarsely granulated. Add the frankincense and pound it into a fine powder. Next, soak the angelica root and fennel in light salt water for three incense sticks, remove them, dry them, and grind them into a fine powder. Next, grind the two incense powders further until they are even finer. There are two ways to use this incense: one is to mold it into seal incense and burn it before bed to promote sleep. The other is to add an appropriate amount of honey to the final incense powder and make incense pills, about the size of mung beans. Then, use the frying method to force out the aroma. Use the remaining ash to make small pills, which can be taken with water before bed to soothe the mind and aid digestion.
Zhu Huaizhen slept soundly while holding Lou Li in his arms, having a sleepless night.
"Your Highness, Queen Du is here again." Tu Mi said angrily.
"Tu Mi, it's okay. She came here to say thank you." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
"Your Highness, I think she came here to fight." Tu Mi put her hands on her hips, frowning.
"Okay, Tu Mi, if you think so, let's leave her alone." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
After hearing this, Tu Mi suddenly became enlightened and smiled.
So, Zhu Huaizhen lay on the 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 on a silk surface, moving it up and down like 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.
Fortunately, she could still eat 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.
Lou Li accompanied her and drank the rich and colorful tea made with sesame, salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagull, swan osmanthus, rose and brine, and Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea.
"Your Highness, Queen Du is very patient. She ordered a private room and also listened to the opera." Tu Mi hurried over and imitated Zhu Huaizhen, pouting her lips and rolling her eyes.
Zhu Huaizhen said "oh" and didn't care.
In this confrontation, she had to find a way to make Queen Du win.
