Although the name of Xingyun Water Pavilion is called Water Pavilion, but in fact it is not like other Water Pavilion like half of the wall stretches into the water, just a pavilion built near the water, because it is connected to the nine-curved verandah on both sides, it is simply called the Water Pavilion, because it is leaning on the liquid pool, so when the weather is fine, you can see the phantom of the pavilion reflected on the water surface, and the sparkling is very beautiful.

Concubine Zhuang put all the flowers here, and she also figured that this pavilion is big, and it is convenient for everyone to enjoy it.

Everyone surrounded the Queen Mother all the way from the Jiuqu verandah, and from a distance, they could see that the water pavilion was full of all kinds of flowers, or budding to be released, or fully blooming, which looked even more glamorous in the sun, making people feel much better.

"The mourning family originally thought that the climate in Yunfu has not been very good these days, and I don't know what will happen at this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet," Empress Dowager Zhu said to Concubine Zhuang with a smile, "Now that I look at it, the mourning family is too worried, these flowers seem to have not been affected by anything, and they bloom so well." ”

Concubine Zhuang carefully held the arm of the Queen Mother, carried her to the main seat arranged in the water pavilion, and replied: "The concubine thinks that although the climate is abnormal a few days ago, it is also temporary. ”

Half of the sentence is talking about the climate, and half of the sentence is a metaphor for political affairs, these days, the gradual clarity of political affairs also makes the Queen Mother feel very happy.

The Queen Mother sat on the main seat, because she was a little old and her waist was not good, she had only walked for a while, and she was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Concubine Zhuang was careful, and piled up several thick brocade cushions on the seat, she just sat on it, and felt light, and the discomfort immediately went a little, and looked at Concubine Zhuang with a smile: "It's such a reason." ”

After the queen mother sat down, she gave a seat to the foreign women present, "The weather has been fine these days, and there happens to be a kind of fruit called pear that Fanbang has paid tribute to, but it is sweet and sour, everyone tastes it." ”

Concubine Zhuang corrected with a smile: "It's called pineapple." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Yes, it's called pineapple, let the mourning family say, this fruit grows strangely, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious, but I can't eat more, and if I eat too much, I will lose my teeth." ”

Listening to such words, the foreign wife made fun of the Queen Mother one by one, and the scene was very lively for a while.

Chanyi sat beside Xie Shi, looked down at the golden cut lumpy fruit that was served, the corners of his mouth bent slightly, the taste of this fruit is really good, I think this year should be the first year that this fruit came to Dayan, maybe it is because of the reception of the Queen Mother this year, so that the value of this fruit in the future becomes a strange commodity, the previous life was in Yunfu City, if there was such a plate of fruit on the table when entertaining guests, it was a very dignified thing, even the mother-in-law of the previous life, Mrs. Cheng Bohou Su was not spared, So at this time of year, she always spends a lot of money to buy it for what she likes.

And now, Chanyi looked at the mother beside her and looked at the fruit on the plate with some hesitation, not sure whether she should eat it or not, she smiled and took a silver chisel and inserted a piece, held it with a small pastel plate, and said to Xie: "Mother taste it, even the Queen Mother said that it was delicious, and she must not be wrong." ”

Xie Shi tasted a piece, and after chewing it a few times, his eyes lit up slightly, "This fruit is sweet, although it is not as good as Sydney, but it is a different taste." ”

I didn't expect my mother to like to eat, Chanyi nodded and smiled: "When the banquet is over for a while, I will quietly ask Aunt Zhuang for some and bring them back for my grandmother to taste." ”

Xie Shi's face sank, and he nodded Chanyi's forehead, "Don't be naughty, this is a tribute from Fanbang to the emperor, your aunt may not have it, if your aunt doesn't have it, don't you make her embarrassed!" ”

Chanyi knew that Concubine Zhuang would definitely have it, because at this time in the previous life, Concubine Zhuang was rewarded with a basket to Xie Mansion, and her grandmother thought of her, so she asked people to send her a lot of them, but unfortunately she didn't eat a bite, so she was divided by Aunt Yan.

She was just thinking about the experience of her previous life, and the other side had already begun to taste the flowers.

The Queen Mother pointed to the blooming camellia and was stunned, "This is the Eighteen Bachelors?" I didn't expect it to be already April, and it could bloom so well," the Queen Mother said, letting the flowers come in, take a closer look, and say with a smile, "I didn't expect that Shuangyun's out-of-the-box temperament can raise such good flowers, good, reward!" ”

Because each pot of flowers is marked with the name of each lady who participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the Queen Mother can also see which lady is so skillful when she admires the flowers.

Xie Shuangyun hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Thank you for the reward of the Empress Dowager." "Took the female official and rewarded her hairpin on behalf of the Queen Mother.

Next to Xie Feiyun glanced at the hairpin, secretly tongued, the hairpin made by the Internal Affairs Office is exquisite, the silk on the top is extremely fine, the pink palace yarn petals are propped up, made into a camellia, the hairpin has a leaf surrounded by emerald green palace yarn, if it is not for the petals and leaves are also dotted with broken tourmaline gems on the top, it is dazzling, at first glance it seems that it is really cut from the camellia.

The flowers below were brought up, and it was the Junzi Orchid raised by Xie Feiyun himself.

The Queen Mother looked left and right, with a kind look on her face, "The daughter of Xie Yanning's family also has a pair of skillful hands, look at this Junzi Lan, if it hasn't been raised for several years, I'm afraid it won't be able to raise it like this, reward!" ”

Xie Feiyun couldn't hold back with a little shame on her face, her Junzi Lan just took out the buds, and she didn't even bloom a flower, it was difficult for the Queen Mother to give her face like this, she quickly stood up and thanked the reward, and took the hairpin in the female official's hand.

Her hairpin is the same as Xie Shuangyun's, both are made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the craftsmanship is the same, but it is the difference between a gentleman's orchid and a camellia, although so, she is also satisfied, and puts the hairpin in the box with a smile.

When she raised her eyes again, she saw that the Queen Mother was stunned, and the pot of green from head to foot was placed in front of her, Xie Feiyun's mouth opened slightly, she originally thought that Chanyi was teasing her, but she didn't expect that she really brought such a pot of flowers over, and then looked at the obvious stunned look on the Queen Mother's face, and couldn't help but close her eyes.

And the originally lively Hundred Flowers Banquet also stopped for a moment at the moment, as if no one dared to believe that there would be such a pot of flowers presented by the lady.

The Queen Mother came to her senses and glanced in the direction of the Xie family, the expression on her face seemed to be smiling, "Daughter of the Xia family, why did you bring such a pot of flowers here?" ”

Chan Yi hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "The courtiers originally wanted to pick a pot of flowers that bloom often to give to the Queen Mother, but they can look for it, but there are no flowers that will bloom all year round, no matter what flowers will be thanked, every time the courtiers see the flowers, there will always be a little sadness, the courtiers thought of such a flower as evergreen, it is evergreen all year round, even in the coldest winter, it will not wither, the courtier will give it to the Queen Mother, I wish the mother is like this flower, forever young, healthy and long-lived." ”

The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, then laughed and looked at Concubine Zhuang: "What a villain, but he can speak well, he is good, reward!" ”
