Chapter 247: Near the Water and Smoke
"Your Majesty," Wu Huansheng's voice came from outside Long Yuan, "Xiting Lake is in front of you, Lord Feng asked you, do you plan to take a break with Concubine Qin and then go to enjoy the chrysanthemums, or do you want to take a look at the newly bred chrysanthemums this year?"
"Concubine Qin is in the mood to appreciate chrysanthemums right now?" said Lin Qitan with a smile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The emperor will laugh at his concubines. Gu Liuying was coquettish and disgusted, lifted the curtain of the car and said to Wu Huan, "What's so special about the newly bred chrysanthemum?"
"I heard that the color is like wisteria, purple with gold, the petals are rolling, enchanting and wanton, and there is a sense of brilliance under the moonlight, which can be described as amazing and unforgettable. Wu Huan said.
"There are still such strange flowers in the world?" Lin Qitan's eyes moved slightly, "What is the name of the chrysanthemum?"
"It is said that it has not been named yet, and it is only waiting for the emperor to give a name after reading it. Wu Huan said.
It sounded interesting, and the concubine was also a little curious, wanting to see what the flower looked like. Gu Liuying said.
"Good. Lin Qitan led Gu Liuying out of the carriage, "Then Concubine Qin will accompany me to give the chrysanthemum a nice name." ”
Xiting Lake, the distant mountains are like daisies, the water is close to the smoke, the floating clouds are long, the dark fragrance is fragrant, the daisies on both sides of the road are everywhere, swaying with the wind, and stretch until the West Pavilion that places nearly 10,000 pots of chrysanthemums.
Looking at it, the sea of flowers and fragrant flowers, competing for strange and beautiful beauty, Gu Liuying's breathing was slightly stagnant, this scene reminded her of the Lanxi Garden in the Wangfu Palace, the elegant and upright, simple and leisurely man, always gently holding her hand and picking the most beautiful flowers in the Lanxi Garden.
"Fireflies, you are so beautiful, even more beautiful than this flower. He smiled at the corners of his lips, and gently inserted the flower into her bun, his eyebrows and eyes full of deep affection that could not be dissolved, as if he only owned her, he already owned the whole world.
"Concubine Qin," Lin Qitan stopped in front of him, "What's the matter, can't keep up with me?"
Gu Liuying eased her mind and smiled charmingly, "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the flowers are blooming, this scenery is so refreshing, the concubine really regrets it, why didn't she bring Ziyan with her." ”
"It's the same when Ziyan comes to enjoy chrysanthemums next year, it's rare to leave the palace, and Concubine Qin will concentrate on accompanying me to relax. ”
"That's what the emperor said. Gu Liuying stroked the hair around her ears, and her eyes swept over the beautiful figure behind her, "Yiren, take good care of Yinyin for a while, don't let her go to the lake to play, save the chaos and make the emperor unhappy." ”
"Yes. Lin Yiren lowered his eyes and replied.
His anger couldn't hide it from his mother, so he saved the mess and made the emperor unhappy, this is what his mother wanted to tell him.
"Yiren, you're stepping on your father's iris again......"
"Yiren, this is the banana leaf qin customized by Dad for your mother, the timbre is very beautiful, do you want to listen to Dad play a song?"
"Yiren, Dad told you a secret, a secret that even your mother doesn't know, in this belly, Dad carved a 'Zhan' word with his own hands......"
"Yiren, my father still wants to add another brother to you, so he will use the word 'Mu' for him, the word 'Zhan Mu' can not only mean to be blessed, but also to infiltrate and moisturize. If you inherit the great rule in the future, you must remember that man is nourished by all things, and at the same time must have a heart that nourishes all things, and since you have received the blessings of Heaven, you must work for the well-being of the people and treat them with a nourishing heart......"
His eyes are clear and quiet, his smile is as warm as the sun, and he always remembers others in his heart, so in the treacherous battle for imperial power, the one who dies will be him.
"Brother Yi," Lin Yinyin tugged at Lin Yiren's sleeve, looking a little worried, "Why doesn't your complexion look good?"
"Recently, I am a little tired for Qi Jing's affairs. "Lin Yi is humane.
"What's going on in Qi Jing right now? Brother Su said that he might never wake up again. ”
"Possibly...... But not necessarily. ”
In front of the two of them, Lin Jianzhi snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.
The Royal Chrysanthemum Banquet, as the name suggests, is a grand event that selects hundreds of top chrysanthemums for the banquet. These 100 kinds of chrysanthemums will be selected from thousands of pots of rare and exotic products that bloom proudly, and will be carefully blended by the chefs who are good at cooking flower banquets, and made into soups, cakes, rolls, crisps, porridges, cakes, candied fruits and other delicacies, for the royal people, dignitaries, and ordinary people to taste respectively, and finally according to the comments of the people, select the delicious and innovative delicacies, and give heavy rewards.
If it is said that the martial arts conference is a grand event for the people of the rivers and lakes, then the banquet with chrysanthemums is more talked about by the people. Because it is closely related to daily food, those fresh cooking methods will soon be introduced to thousands of households, even if the ordinary people can not eat the top chrysanthemums into the feast, at least they can learn from the cooking skills, or replace the petals with fruits, or replace the treasures with ordinary products, and so on, often turn over many new tricks, cook good and cheap dishes.
If it is said that cooking delicacies is the result of the unintentional planting of willows in the royal chrysanthemum banquet, then the cultivation of new chrysanthemums is Lin Qitan's intentional move.
Lin Qitan is not an emperor who is keen on landscapes, plants and trees, and chrysanthemums are just a tool to show imperial power to him. Chrysanthemum, the main color is bright yellow, symbolizing heaven, integrity, noble, he likes chrysanthemum, the world will know what the monarch likes, he likes chrysanthemum, is a well-deserved Emperor Ye of the country. However, this is not enough, Lin Qitan also wants to have some invisible power.
Lin Xiehuan, the founding emperor of the country, loved chrysanthemums all his life, and announced to the world before his death that he would be buried with jade carved chrysanthemums. At that time, the whole country mourned, the craftsman sent the carved jade carvings were not liked by Emperor Yi, seeing that Lin Xiehuan was about to hold a grudge against Huangquan, the palace guards suddenly reported urgently, saying that someone outside the palace gate clarified that he was entrusted by someone to send a box containing jade carved chrysanthemums.
According to the records of the historians, the jade carving is only the size of the palm, the petals are light purple, the purple is golden, layer upon layer, wanton stretching, finely carved, ingenious, it is more charming than the yellow flowers blooming all over the ground in autumn, it is full of brilliance, and it is shocking to see.
At that time, the pale-faced and white-haired Holy Queen wiped her tears and sighed, this flower should only be in the sky, but it is only a mortal dust. And Lin Xiehuan took the chrysanthemum, looked at it for a moment, and then passed away with a smile, leaving only one word on his deathbed, "The world is peaceful, and my remaining wish has been fulfilled." ”
Since then, the jade carved chrysanthemum was buried in the Ziling Tomb with Emperor Yi, and the speculation and speculation about the jade carved chrysanthemum have gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
More than 30 years later, the royal repair of Ziling, I don't know who mentioned the purple chrysanthemum of the year, in order to comfort the ancestors of the heroic soul, the emperor of later generations sent people to search all over the world, hoping to find a chrysanthemum that is exactly the same as in the records of the historian, but what is amazing is that this flower seems to really respond to the words of the Holy Empress of the year, and it has not left a trace in the world.
The purple and golden, colorful chrysanthemums have always been a variety that Lin Qitan is extremely eager for, but he also knows in his heart that the flowers and trees are all kinds of things, and they can't be forced, and this matter can only be done according to the time, and it is definitely not easy for people to control.
Hearing Wu Huansheng mention this flower today, Lin Qitan suddenly felt that there was nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. Purple chrysanthemum, purple air from the east, the oracle of heaven, the holy trust of the ancestors, no matter which one, can be gilded with a layer of shining golden light for Lin Tantan, like a solemn Buddha statue, as long as you sit in the hall, you can accept the admiration of the world, worship, as a god.
