Chapter 49: Unintentional Wind and Rain (1)

Originally, cherry blossoms were a unique tree species in the Jin Kingdom, and every year in April and May, the state capitals of the Jin Kingdom held a grand cherry blossom festival to celebrate.

Cherry blossoms like sunlight and are suitable for a warm and humid climate, while only the south of Chu is relatively mild and humid, and the imperial capital Danluo is north, the climate is dry, and there are often wind and sand, which are not conducive to the growth of cherry blossoms.

In the past few years, some people have been transplanted and cultivated several times, and they have successfully planted relatively cold-tolerant cherry blossoms in Danlo. Because the pink and lovely cherry blossoms are different from the grace and luxury of the peony, it makes people feel more pure and warm, and once caused a craze for cherry blossoms in the Chu State, but after all, it is not easy to transplant and maintain, so it is very rare.

The cherry tree on display by the queen today is a rain branch that is quite rare in the Jin Kingdom.

With such a handiwork, how can King Ming not be shocked?

King Ming and everyone cast envious glances, but Emperor Shengzhao looked at the queen a little more inquiring.

The queen has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can there be such a famous flower of the Jin Kingdom? Moreover, when this flower was transported into the palace, even he, the emperor, did not know.

A kind of anger that had been kept in the dark suddenly ignited a fire in his heart.

The feeling of powerlessness that I can't grasp the whole situation is so annoying!

The queen listened to everyone's amazed appreciation, and her heart was already happy, but she suddenly noticed that Emperor Shengzhao's arm was a little stiff, and looked at him suspiciously, there was no expression on his angular face, and she realized that something was wrong.

After a little thought, she was as shrewd as she understood the problem. Just as he was about to open his mouth to tell the truth, at this moment King Ming opened his mouth and asked: "Dare to ask Niangniang, where did you get this rare thing? Another day, Xiao Wang will also go to find one." ”

The queen smiled slightly, "The prince is serious. There are so many famous flowers in the Qi country, and it is rare for me to do this tattered thing?"

In the past few years, he has been studying how to plant such strange flowers as rain and clear branches and weeping cherry blossoms in our north. ”

A lean old man walked out from the queen's side and bowed to Emperor Shengzhao: "Weichen Song's father has seen His Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Only then did the emperor remember that the person in front of him was the Northern Flower Master who was formerly known as the Chu State, Father Song.

Because of his magical flower skills, he is now the head of the flower in the Imperial Garden.

"Come on, Song's father Siqihua has meritorious, rewarded 100 taels of gold and 100 brocades. Get up. When Emperor Shengzhao heard this, he glanced at him and opened his mouth to reward him.

"Thank you, Lord Ron. Father Song bowed and retreated.

Concubine Zhen looked at the queen's appearance of swimming like a fish in water, although her heart was full of jealousy, but she was helpless.

Qianhua on the side was attracted by Ming Wangfu as soon as he arrived, but he was too embarrassed to be too obvious in front of everyone's eyes, so he had to pretend to talk to Deng Hanjia non-stop.

Deng Ningjia was standing with her back to King Ming, and Qianhua was opposite her, and King Ming could be seen from that angle. After a while, she had unconsciously glanced at it several times.

King Ming finally found the sight from the side, and smiled at Qianhua, but it made her blush half of her face, and she didn't dare to look over there anymore. It's like being caught red-handed by someone who has done something unfortunate and embarrassed.

Deng Ningjia, who was talking to her, noticed her strange appearance, frowned slightly, and said, "Sister, are you not feeling well?"

"Uh, no, no. Qianhua was knocked out of her heart, and hurriedly denied it, and said stumblingly, "Maybe the sun is a little big, I feel a little hot, it's nothing, you don't have to worry." ”

Deng Ningjia stared at her and made sure that there was nothing wrong before relenting.

At this moment, I only heard the queen speak: "It's a big pity to have a scene without wine." Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the concubine just opened several jars of Baihua brew, I wonder if you, King Ming, and all the adults are willing to appreciate their faces and taste one or two for the concubine?" said and looked at Emperor Shengzhao with anticipation.

Emperor Shengzhao smiled at her: "That's very good." But it's up to the queen to decide. ”

So saying, the queen sent for the wine.

Due to the limited space of the Bangyue Pavilion, Emperor Shengzhao invited the King of Ming and all the courtiers to move to the Muchun Pavilion, which is closest to the imperial garden, and only the queen and a group of female dependents continued to enjoy the flowers.

Ten jars of flowers are brewed, the queen left one jar, and the rest was carried to Muchun Pavilion. But all the ladies and relatives are women and ladies in the boudoir, who have ever drunk wine, but it is not easy to refute the queen's face, so they all drink a glass to thank the grace, and in the end there is still a small half of the altar left.

Everyone in the imperial garden talked happily, nothing more than saying some pleasing words around the three of them, the queen and the eldest princess.

Some women didn't know the truth, and boasted to the queen that the king was talented, and the eldest princess found a good husband.

Qianhua's face turned crimson when he said this, but some shrewd people saw that the queen was smiling far-fetched, and pondered to pull the topic aside.

Luan Ge stood alone under the flower stand with Liuliang in his arms, carefully tasting the third cup of flower brew.

In any case, today's Baihua brew alone is worth it today. The entrance is sweet and mellow but not astringent and spicy, but a little lingering and warm, mixed with the sweetness of peach blossoms, the fragrance of plum blossoms, the elegance of snow lotus, and a little subtle and indistinguishable floral fragrance, plus a breath of green bamboo, all kinds of flavors and strong wine aroma are mixed together, just smelling people are already drunk for three points.

In the end, it is the queen, and a jar of wine can also cost so many excellent materials, which is also rightly called the "hundred flowers" of this hundred flowers.

Speaking of which, this master's brewing skills are not bad, and he can actually blend all kinds of questions together without confusing them, and will not make people feel rushed because of the large number of flavors, and the flavors do not interfere with each other, and the biggest wonder is that they are scattered.

Luan Ge suddenly thought that he had buried several jars of fruit wine in Yunyang Mountain.

Yunyang Mountain is full of aura, the fruit trees bloom and are gorgeous in the world, and the connected fruits are also very sweet, and the wine made must be good. No matter how bad it is, it won't be half a point worse than the Baihua brew on hand. If things go smoothly, in two or three months, when you return to the mountain and open the seal, you will definitely be able to float for ten miles.

At that time, it was really comfortable to get drunk and rest!

Luan Ge thought so, nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out the empty lamp in his hand to the little eunuch who was in charge of serving wine to everyone.

The little eunuch's heart was very different, he had never heard that this third princess was delicious, but he didn't know that she could drink it. What a weirdo.

Carefully helping her fill up, Luan Ge smiled at him gratefully, but he didn't expect that the little eunuch looked at her and nodded at himself with a little shyness.

Luan Ge took the wine and was about to take a look elsewhere, but he heard a coquettish voice behind him: "Oh, who was I at that time, it was actually our third princess." ”

She didn't have to look back, she knew who this person was.

In this palace, who clearly hates her, and can say such harsh words, except for the pampered and arrogant Concubine Zhenniang, who else can there be?

Luan Ge raised his head and rolled his eyes, secretly scolding that the year was not going well, and finally turned around with six taels in his arms, and squatted slightly in front of Concubine Zhen: "I've seen Concubine Zhen." ”

Concubine Zhen was not in a hurry to let her get up, but circled around her body and returned to the original place, and then pulled the yin and yang tone again: "How did the princess have the heart to enjoy the flowers today? Don't you say, Dong'er?"

The pink-clad palace maid on the side, although she is also small, her mouth is not forgiving, and she catered to her: "What Niangniang said is that this forest is big, and naturally there are all kinds of birds." ”

Luan Ge sneered, knowing that she was deliberately making things difficult for herself, so she stood up directly, ignoring Concubine Zhen's face, and said in the same tone: "Yes, this forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds." Even a little palace maid dared to be so presumptuous, presumably because the door of the mother's courtyard was not closed tightly, and she accidentally put something out that should not be put out and bite people. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and dipped some wine in it, and put it next to Liuliang's mouth, "Is it delicious?"

"You--" Dong'er was angry and was about to speak, but was signaled by Concubine Zhen and endured it stupidly.

Liuliang licked it twice, sticking his head out to reach the cup. Luan Ge just smiled at Liuliang, "Look at your gluttony." ”

One person and one fox were having fun by themselves, but they didn't seem to be aware of the anger of the two people on the side.

"Niangniang's Hundred Flowers Brew is a rare wine, how can the third princess be so frivolous? Don't you look down on Niangniang or treat all the ladies and ladies present and the majesty of Mu Chun Pavilion as if they were beasts?" Concubine Zhen opened her mouth quietly, but she put a big hat on Luan Ge.
