I fought back after reselling my engagement

Chapter 92 "The Story of Yueyang Tower"

Outside the Yueyang Tower, many scholars, young masters, and talented people have gathered, all of them in high spirits. This is a royal lady. If they like her, they may recruit her as a princess. Especially since Princess Changle is the legitimate daughter of Prince Gong, a royal family.

Princess Changle, wearing a fiery red dress and a bun, jumped off the carriage and stood outside Yueyang Tower, looking around at the surrounding scenery. "Is this the number one tower in the world, Yueyang Tower?"

Zhen Su's mind flashed through Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower", and he recited aloud: "I saw the beauty of Baling, in Dongting Lake. It embraces the distant mountains and swallows the Yangtze River. It is vast and boundless; in the morning sun and in the evening shade, the scenery is magnificent. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, and the descriptions of the predecessors are complete. However, it connects Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoxiang in the south. Many migrants and poets gathered here. Wouldn't their feelings when viewing the scenery be different?"

Zhou Yiqing called out repeatedly: "Sister Jiarou, who's behind?"

Zhen Su was silent for a moment, then continued, "When the rain is heavy and the moon is not out, the wind is howling, the waves are surging; the sun and stars are hidden, the mountains are invisible; merchants cannot travel, masts are tilted and oars are broken; at dusk, tigers roar and monkeys cry. When I climb this tower, I feel homesick, worried about slander and fear of ridicule, and everything is bleak, and I feel extremely sad."

Princess Changle clapped her hands and said, "I didn't realize it at first sight, but after reading the poem and essay, I realized it is really extraordinary."

Princess Shouning and Bai Ruizhu were standing together when they saw dozens of officials and noble ladies coming out of the building, all dressed up. None of them recognized them. It was obvious that this was arranged early in the morning.

Princess Shouning said, "Sister Jiarou, this is not over yet, what's next?"

There was silence around Yueyang Tower.

Zhen Su continued to recite: "When the spring is warm and the scenery is bright, the waves are calm, the sky is blue and boundless, seagulls fly and gather, fish swim, and the shore is covered with lush green reeds and orchids. Or when the long smoke clears, the bright moon shines thousands of miles away, the floating light sparkles, the still shadows sink into the jade, and the fishermen sing to each other, how great is this joy! When I climb this tower, I feel relaxed and happy, forgetting all honors and disgraces, drinking wine in the wind, and I am very happy.

Alas! I have tried to understand the heart of the ancient benevolent people, and I find that they are different from the two. Why? They are not happy with things, nor sad with themselves; they worry about their people when they are in a high position in the government; they worry about their ruler when they are far away in the rivers and lakes. They worry when they advance, and they worry when they retreat. Then what can they be happy about? They must say, "I worry about the world before I worry about myself, and I enjoy myself after the world enjoys itself." Alas! Without this person, who would I go home with? "

Her voice is pleasant to the very beginning, and coupled with the recitation characteristics of a modern person, it makes people full of fantasy, and they just feel that it is so pleasant to the ear that they can't help but linger.

When the sound fell, a man shouted, "Excellent!" A young man in a purple robe appeared in the crowd. Princess Shouning pointed at the young man and stammered, "Five... five..."

Princess Changle asked, "Fifth cousin, why are you here?"

Zhou Yiqing's face turned pale, and he muttered in a low voice: "The fifth prince has left the capital. Isn't he too bold?"

The ladies of the officials who were nearby immediately understood that the young man in purple robe was the fifth prince. Their eyes lit up when they heard it. It turned out that the prince was so handsome, and his every move was so elegant and graceful, and he exuded a noble aura.

The Fifth Prince came closer, clasped his fists and bowed, "Jia Rou, I haven't seen you for a few months. How have you been?"

Zhen Su thought about what his grandfather said and wondered if this kid was crazy.

In her previous life, she never knew that this man liked her. Now that he had come to Yueyang Tower, if Concubine Zhou Shu in the palace knew about it, she would definitely be furious.

She pulled the nearest Princess Changle and said, "Good sister, send your cousin away quickly."

Princess Changle took off the golden whip from her waist and stroked it, "What are you doing?"

"My cousin, do you have any objection to my pursuit of a beauty?" The fifth prince was very generous and open-minded. He was pursuing her, and his pursuit was vigorous and vigorous, and everyone in the world knew about it.

"You have left the capital, but... do your father and mother know about it?"

Zhou Yiqing felt a headache. Recently, the capital city was in a mess of matchmaking. Her family was like this because Prince Gong and his wife were busy looking for a man for Princess Changle. They said Princess Changle was bold and reckless. People who didn't know her would think that Princess Changle was loyal and chivalrous. But the last time she went to the canal to look for someone, half of the reason was to avoid a blind date. This time, Princess Gong's wife made an appointment with a few young men, which frightened Princess Changle so much that she immediately took her trusted maid and sneaked onto Princess Shouning's boat.

Princess Shouning wanted to repay Jiarou for saving her life, and she also listened to Princess Jiarou's story. There was a story called "Biography of Princess Jiarou" in the capital, a story book, and a storyteller. She wanted to meet Princess Jiarou, and she pestered Princess Qingchun for several days on the occasion of Princess Jiarou's coming of age, and Princess Qingchun finally agreed. She asked her husband's eldest uncle and eldest sister-in-law for help, hired a large ship for Princess Shouning, and arranged for guards and a housekeeper to leave the capital together.

For safety reasons, Xue San, the third daughter of my eldest uncle's family, was also sent out to escort Princess Shouning.

Zhou Yiqing said, "Cousin, you are too ridiculous. How many people did you bring with you on this trip?"

"Bring along the eunuchs and guards. There must be six people in the group."

When the prince leaves the capital, who will take six people with him? If something unexpected happens, don’t be afraid of losing your life.

Zhen Su felt that her coming-of-age ceremony was glorious, but her grandfather must have been under a lot of pressure. It would have been fine if there was only Princess Changle, but now there was a fifth prince.

The fifth prince said, "I left a letter with my father and mother, saying that sister Jiarou is at least a princess awarded by the royal family. I came to Yueyang to congratulate my sister on her birthday and give her a gift for her coming of age!" He turned his head and looked at Su Wulang, who was wearing a military robe. "You are Su Wulang, and I am the fifth prince. Are you responsible for my personal safety now?"

Su Qilang said: "It's better for me to take responsibility than for my brother to take responsibility."

How can such a little brat be responsible?

Zhen Su said: "You are so brave..."

The fifth prince smiled slightly, "Jia Rou, I came from afar to celebrate your birthday, aren't you touched?"

Zhen Su shook his head, "I'm not moved, I just feel warmed."

"Heart-wrenching? Why?"

"I was kicked in the chest. It hurts and is suffocating, but I can't say anything."

The fifth prince laughed loudly, "Could it be that you are suffering from lovesickness like me, missing her when she is not with you, and feeling happy when she is with you, but also afraid of separation..."

Princess Changle looked uncomfortable. "If you don't speak properly, I'll spank you. There are so many girls here, and you're speaking too frivolously."

The fifth prince said, "The only person in the world who can make me frivolous is Sister Jiarou."

Zhou Yiqing said: "Changle is here, she can handle it, let's go up to Yueyang Tower to enjoy the scenery."

Mao Yuanniang came over and bowed, "Mao Yuanniang of Yueyang Prefecture greets the three princesses!"

Princess Shouning said, "You are the leader of the officials and noble ladies. Take us to the Yueyang Tower."

"Yes."

Mao Yuanniang walked in front with great manners, and explained together with two other smart and beautiful girls that the first floor was the hall, and there were second and third floors. On the walls hung paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, as well as poems by famous authors.
