Chapter 233: Concubine
Emperor Ming of Chu, Zhao De, reigned for a month, and everything was peaceful.
Zhu Huaizhen was very curious about what Chen Mingan and Lou Li were doing since they neither caused trouble nor showed up.
However, she is very lazy, so if others don't take the initiative to contact her, she doesn't need to greet them.
You said she was lying on a beauty couch surrounded by black lacquer and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, holding a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, moving it up and down, her posture as lazy as a Persian cat, how interesting.
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.
Paired with a mouthful of rich and colorful tea, sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagull, swan osmanthus, rose, and Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea, she would not change it even if she was given two Alis.
But Emperor Chu Ming happened to come and disturb her life.
"Princess Ronghua, I heard that the previous straw weaving and clay sculptures were not to your liking, so this time you changed them to bonsai." Emperor Chu Ming had his hands behind his back, looking very proud.
"Bonsai? Your Majesty, have you made a fortune?" Zhu Huaizhen frowned.
Yes, they are gem bonsai, including coral peony bonsai in silver filigree begonia flower pot, plum blossom bonsai in silver-gilt filigree rectangular pot, coral peach tree bonsai in silver filigree begonia flower pot, green bamboo bonsai in wooden begonia pot, wood-carved longevity god wonderland inlaid with gem flower bonsai, malachite inlaid with jewels Penglai wonderland bonsai, pomegranate bonsai in filigree enamel rectangular pot, toad playing bonsai with beeswax stone, narcissus bonsai in green jade chrysanthemum petal pot, jasper eight-treasure fairy bonsai and so on.
"Princess Ronghua, I am the emperor now. All the land under heaven belongs to me, and all the people in the world are my subjects." Zhao De said angrily.
"So you don't want to be a frugal person anymore?" Zhu held his rosy cheek in his arms, his grape-like eyes wide open, full of clarity and transparency.
Of course, she really wanted to mock Zhao De, but she just didn't have the ability to do so at the moment.
"It's okay for a gift to be expensive for a loved one." Emperor Chu Ming's face was dark and his tone was impatient.
Zhu Huaizhen said "oh", looked around, and finally pointed at the young eunuch beside Emperor Chu Ming, who had a handsome face.
"Zhu Huaizhen, stop playing dumb!" Emperor Chu Ming said angrily.
"Your Majesty, could it be me?" Zhu Huaizhen jumped off the beauty bed and pointed at himself, extremely surprised.
Haha, you said you don't want to play dumb, so I won't play dumb. Who are you? I have to be so obedient.
"Zhenzhen, I will come again tomorrow." Emperor Chu Ming turned away.
"Your Majesty, please come often!" Zhu Huaizhen held onto the door frame, smiling like a flower.
Damn, it’s a valuable gift, it would be a waste not to accept it.
Moreover, Emperor Chu Ming had no idea what his mentality was. Lou Li, the commander of the Southern Yan Jinyiwei, had already told everyone clearly that he was pursuing Princess Ronghua, but Emperor Chu Ming still wanted to interfere. Could it be that he thought his position as emperor was too secure?
Ahem, Zhu Huai really forgot that in the eyes of everyone, Chen Ming'an, the prince of Dingguo Mansion, was also a wife-chasing crematorium.
"Your Highness, it may be because you are carrying the treasure of the Great Zhou, and he is too ambitious." Tu Mi whispered.
Zhu Huaizhen said "oh".
The next day, Emperor Ming of Chu announced to the world that the queen had been pregnant for more than a month and he wanted to choose a virtuous concubine.
The word "Xian Fei" is of great significance. You should know that Emperor Ming of Chu was previously the Eighth Wise King.
