Chapter 124 Hibiscus
Furong Pavilion is only separated from Chen Mingan's Hanqingyuan by a large lotus pond.
Another name for lotus is water lotus.
The large lotus pond is roughly rectangular, long from east to west and narrow from north to south.
Therefore, there is a profound waterscape in front of Hibiscus Pavilion.
On a summer night, the breeze, the moonlight and the fragrance of lotus flowers all float in the air, creating a beautiful scene.
Zhu Huaizhen took Tu Mi to Furong Pavilion and couldn't help but sigh that Gao Yan'er really occupied a good position.
Looking at the Liuting Tower again, there are many trees and the scenery is rather harsh, so Zhu Huaizhen rarely goes to see it.
Alas, after walking a few steps, Zhu Huaizhen felt that she might as well go back and listen to the opera.
No matter how dissatisfied she was with Liutinglou, it was still her temporary home.
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.
Zhu Huaizhen began to miss her "Peach Blossom Fan".
There is also the Qingyi who sings "Peach Blossom Fan". He is a shy man who is very interesting to tease.
However, if she doesn't treat Gao Yan'er, Gao Yan'er will always be annoying.
So, Tu Mi cleared the way for Zhu Huaizhen and broke straight into Gao Yan'er's boudoir.
Tsk tsk, Gao Yan'er is quietly eating 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.
"Tu Mi, take off her clothes and change into this one." Zhu Huaizhen held the wooden tray and smiled like a flower.
On the wooden tray was a phoenix-tail skirt with a pattern of butterflies, flowers, and mist. It was the one that Mrs. Chen had sent to Liuting Tower.
Didn’t Gao Yan’er come up with a bad idea, advising Madam Chen to repay evil with kindness?
She, Zhu Huaizhen, would just repay kindness with resentment.
Sure enough, Gao Yan'er panicked and was about to teach Zhu Huaizhen a lesson, but Tu Mi was quick and pointed out Gao Yan'er's acupoints in less than a cup of tea, and took off and dressed her in one go.
"Tu Mi, let her dress for an incense stick of time. If anyone dares to report the news, I have extra clothes here, let them all wear them." Zhu Huaizhen glanced at the two maids who were leaning against the corner and preparing to escape, and smiled.
Next, Zhu Huaizhen waited patiently.
She saw a bowl of ice-cold yuanzi placed on a black lacquered rosewood crescent table inlaid with mother-of-pearl floral and bird patterns. It was just what she wanted, so she savored it slowly.
"Your Highness, I seem to have a rash." Tu Mi whispered.
Gao Yan'er couldn't move, but her whole body was so itchy that she couldn't scratch it.
The pain made her burst into tears.
Then, Gao Yan'er had an idea and started wailing at the top of her lungs.
Gao Yan'er was hoping that Chen Ming'an would come and save the beauty.
"Your Highness, there are footsteps." Tumi said softly.
"Tu Mi, let's go and cross the big lotus pond." Zhu Huaizhen said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Mi used her light skill Ghost Step to lift Zhu Huaizhen up slightly, stepped on the ripples of the big lotus pond, took a shortcut, and returned to Liuting Tower.
It is said that when Chen Ming'an arrived, Gao Yan'er had already scratched her face with several bloody marks, and her appearance was a little hideous.
Chen Ming'an was also a cold-hearted person. While he ordered the servant to call a doctor, he took a gold and silver bronze mirror with phoenix and flower and bird patterns and gave it to Gao Yan'er.
Gao Yan'er burst into tears and fainted.
It turned out that the clothes that Madam Chen had sent the nanny to deliver were all soaked with grass juice and were extremely itchy.
