If there were two records of me in the history books, it would definitely be 'fatuous and incompetent, addicted to man'.
Ever since I sent Niangu away that day, I asked the palace servants to send wine from outside the palace to Changle Palace by car every day. Drinking was originally a stranger to me. After all, I've never even drunk a few mouthfuls of alcohol on the big days of my life.
"Can you drink it?" Song'e frowned at me.
I ignored her and took another bite. Seeing that the bowl was at the bottom again, I said," Come, fill it up."”
"Your Majesty, the female minister has been kneeling in the main hall for three days. Do you want to go and see her?”
"Why should I go and see it?" I wiped my mouth." Why do you care so much! Sister, pour the wine!"
"... Your Majesty, if you're unhappy, just say it. It's not like there's no one in the south now. What do you want to do..."
"So annoying!" I quickly interrupted her." I say, Song'e, you're already over twenty years old. Why are you saying so much recently?!" What could I be unhappy about? Oh right, if you must say yes, how's my 'moving palace' coming along?”
"Your Majesty, you're still talking…The female physiognomist is so angry that she can't eat because you want to fix that thing…Why do you suddenly want to see so many small animals…"
My "moving palace" was inspired by the world-famous "leopard room". Recently, I've been thinking about it. I'm the emperor of Great Zhou. How can a "leopard house" be enough! Not only do I want to raise all kinds of wild animals in my palace, but I also want to raise many beautiful women and musicians from all over the country so that I can sing and dance every day.
It would be best if there was an event in the colosseum. That would be even more exciting.
"Sigh…Life is short. You can do whatever you want! Come, you have a bite too!"
" I'm not drinking…" I looked at Song'e who was running away in anger. I put down the wine bowl and sighed. I turned around and heard the faint sound of singing from Weiyang Palace opposite. I quietly walked into the courtyard and climbed up the ladder I had just gotten, revealing a pair of small eyes.
I saw Noble Consort Zhang humming a tune while hanging clothes opposite. He looked light and in a good mood.
He sat down and wrote something on a piece of paper. It looked like some lyrics he had composed himself. I rested my chin on my hand and looked at his serious expression. I suddenly remembered how much he loved the stage.
I came down from the ladder and called Tong E over.
"Tong'e, didn't you once do chores for the Blessed Hall's tour?”
"Yeah, why?" There was a hint of worry in Tong E's eyes. She probably heard from Song E that I was getting more and more ridiculous recently and wanted to see if there was something wrong with me.
"I'll be done with that 'moving palace' in two months, it'll be my birthday then-I want to throw a big one, see if you can make the opening look professional, I want to hire someone.”
"Who do you want to invite?"
"Why do you care so much!"
She lowered her head and counted with her fingers." I know you want to celebrate your birthday properly. It's not impossible, but the autumn harvest has been delayed and the national treasury has been a little tight recently…Where will we get the money for this?”
"Can I borrow money if I don't have money?"
"From whom?"
"Aren't the commoners very rich in recent months? Ask the Ministry of Revenue to raise the tax. Won't we have money in the next two months?”
She stood up from her chair." Do you know what you're saying?”
"I know!" I stood up and patted her shoulder." Don't be anxious!”
Under my persuasion, she reluctantly agreed to help me issue this decree because I was the Emperor after all.
"Don't do it again." Before she left, she looked at me very seriously." If there's a next time, you won't be far from extinction, understand?”
"I understand ~"
In the next two months, I took the map of the entire Southern Dynasty and wrote with my group of palace eunuchs," It's better to build this here!”
"No, Your Majesty, there's water here. It's better to build a hot spring palace!”
"I'll listen to you!" I quickly clapped for them and then asked someone to pass down an imperial edict. I asked someone to send Tong E out to hold a birthday banquet for me. Those old officials in the court, if they could pay, they would pay. If they didn't pay, they would send their sons and daughters into the palace to play with me and think of what to fix for me.
"Your Majesty! Why did you give me my sister's waist token? What about my sister?" Song Er shouted in my ear. I found her noisy and threw a piece of ice cream into her mouth.
"This…is delicious!" She bit into the ice cream and thought that something was wrong." Eh? Wasn't this the very expensive ice cream from the Wangjiang Restaurant? This is even rose-flavored!"
"Exactly." I casually pointed to the Changle Palace, which was filled with mountains of delicacies, rare pastries, and silk. I pointed at a pile of gold and silver that I had been sick of seeing for the past few days." Go and pick it yourself. Take whatever you want!”
"Your Majesty…when is my sister coming back?”Song E looked at me in horror. I could see that her interest in those things had been waning from the beginning. Now she only cared about Tong E.
"Tong'e always says things that annoy me. I feel that it's too disgusting for such a person to always be by my side. Let her go out and calm down.”I turned my head and lowered my body to look at her with my two eyes." Don't always say things that annoy me. Otherwise, you won't be able to be the palace maid in charge of Changle Palace. She won't be able to be the palace maid when she comes back.”
"Ah?" Song'e looked at me in fear." Your Majesty, how did you become like this?”
I chuckled, bent over, crossed my legs, and threw candied dates into my mouth." What have I become? I'm like this. I was the one who won the money back from the sword dance that day. Now that I want to be happy, who else can you show your respect to if not me? I am the emperor."
Song Er threw the waist tag on the stall that she had just gotten someone to transport it over."…I don't want these! I want my sister!"
"Then you can leave too." I slowly put away the waist token. When Song Er opened the palace door and left, I heard the miserable voice of the female minister coming from the main hall to the rear palace.
The night lights suddenly lit up, and hundreds of ministers of the Southern Dynasty knelt in front of the palace hall. Their clansmen and children knelt under the palace walls. I was very interested in dancing with a few harem members, and a young eunuch came to report in fear and trepidation.
"If you have something to say, say it!" I threw a golden wine bottle at his head and he got a big bump from my rough movements.
"There was a flood in Miaonan, and all the crops were flooded. The flood even affected the surrounding cities and counties, and many people have died. Now, the female minister has brought all the civil and military officials to kneel and beg you to stop building the palace and city.”
I gave him a contemptuous smile." You think I'll stop?”
" Your Majesty..." He was so scared that he sat on the carpet. I asked someone to chase him away so that he wouldn't dirty my new carpet.
"Then…what about those kneeling?”A few of the seductive men that I had just recruited lowered their heads and whispered into my ear.
"If they like to kneel, then let them kneel! How simple! Continue!" I applied rouge on their faces. The entire Changle Palace was filled with laughter, forming a big contrast with the corridor of the front hall at night.
At night, I got drunk again and sent everyone away. I took advantage of the alcohol to knock on the door of Weiyang Palace opposite.
"Zhang Xiaomang! Open the door!" I knocked for a long time but he didn't open the door, causing me to hiccup a few more times outside the door.
"Open the door!" I knocked for the last time. I thought he would ignore me tonight, but just as I turned around, I heard another squeak.
I turned around and gave him a big smile." Noble Consort!”As I said that, I was about to pounce on him.
"Why did you drink so much? When did you learn it?" He opened the door halfway and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on my body. Seeing that I couldn't stand steadily, he wanted to come over and help me, but his actions were a little hesitant.
I waved my hand." You don't have to help me! You don't have to help me!" I swayed as I leaned against his palace door." I…came to tell you…"
"What do you want to say?" I haven't seen him for a few days, and he's slowly returning to his Beijing accent.
It was so nice. I smiled at him.
"I want to tell you…that it's my birthday next month. Although the time, place, and theme have not been decided yet, I want to…invite you.”
"Got it." I heard him agree.
"Really?" After saying this, I fell into his arms. I remembered that day when I fell off my horse in the sword dance competition. I knew that the person behind me was him.
