Chapter 9: The Ridiculousness of the Banquet
"Where is it pretty?" Mu Chenghuang's eyes were as bright and transparent as amber, and there seemed to be a flash of light, and then he shook his head, "Erchen can't say it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mu Yuanan was a little bored, his body lay back, rubbing the Buddha beads in his hands, he didn't expect Mu Chenghuang to say anything amazing, but he just asked about Wei Wuhou in his heart.
"Although Ma Tan has merit, but if he does something wrong, shouldn't he be punished?" Mu Chenghuang said word by word.
"Well, that's right." Mu Yuanan felt a little bored, and was about to wave his hand to let Mu Chenghuang sit down, Mu Chenghuang said again: "I don't know if my father has planted begonia flowers, there is a kind of begonia called Lige Begonia, which is extremely difficult to take care of, more water will flood the roots, less water will roll up the leaves, the petals will fall off when the wind is strong, and it will not grow well if it is not ventilated. ”
Before Mu Yuanan could speak, Concubine Xi sneered and said: "Princess Chenghuang is really promising, and even the government dares to talk about it." ”
"Imperial government?" Mu Chenghuang blinked, "Didn't Chenghuang say raising begonias?" Father, if you dislike your son's speech badly, your son won't say it, and your son doesn't want to make his father angry. ”
Mu Yuanan didn't raise his eyes: "You continue." ”
"But even if it is carefully raised, taking into account the comprehensive protection, this Lige begonia will still get a kind of black rot, at first a certain section of the branch began to be black and soft, at this time, the flower keeper must be ruthless, cut off the black rot branches, otherwise, the black rot will have spread to the entire flower stem, if it spreads to the roots, this beautiful flower, but it will die."
"Isn't this non-black rotten branch just the same as Ma Tan? Since it's not good, you have to clean it up in time, what you lose is just the rotten place, if you always can't bear it, in the end, the whole pot of flowers can't be saved, then you will regret that your intestines are green. ”
Yes, if you tolerate this one Wei Wuhou, I am afraid that there will be thousands of Wei Wuhou in the future, and other old ministers and thieves will follow suit, and when the time comes, the bad will be the entire court, rotting from the branches to the roots.
Mu Yuanan was thoughtful, and Mu Chenghuang asked softly: "Father, did the son say the wrong thing?" ”
Mu Yuanan raised his head and looked at Mu Chenghuang quietly: "Who told you this?" "If she was just an ordinary princess, she would never think of using begonias as a metaphor for governing the court, and black rot as a metaphor for corruption.
"Little dream."
"Who is Little Dream?"
"Xiaomeng is the pot of Lige begonias planted by Erchen, and he got black rot last year, and he tossed Erchen for a long time."
The originally tight strings in Mu Yuanan's mind suddenly relaxed, and suddenly felt that he was a little ridiculous, worried too much, although Concubine Ru herself is talented, she is not good at teaching her daughter, Mu Chenghuang followed behind Concubine Ru, and she barely learned some skills in raising flowers, as for other aspects, she is not outstanding.
And Concubine Xi's daughter, Mu Chengyao, the fourth princess, has only been a big girl for half a year, but she has been generous and decent, and her wording is skillful.
The emperor still has political affairs to deal with, and after watching the two plays to watch, he drove back to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, but his demeanor when he left seemed to be more relaxed than when he came.
The rest of these palace concubines can order some "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", "The Story of the Willow Shade" and other things that their daughters like to watch, Concubine Xi sipped the rose jade dew tea in the porcelain teacup, and glanced at Mu Chenghuang, who had just been out of the limelight.
Concubine Xi knew about the affairs of the previous dynasty, no matter whether Mu Chenghuang used the black rot of begonia flowers as a metaphor for Wei Wuhou's corruption, whether it was intentional or accidental, she was not happy in her heart.
She couldn't wait to pull out all the flowers and plants that Concubine Ru planted in Jinglan Palace, didn't Concubine Ru love to plant flowers, so she let people plant oleanders near Jinglan Palace, and the flowers bloomed in summer, but they were as bright as blood.
Concubine Xi leaned over, took down the sharpness in her eyes, and said lazily: "Huanqing, bring today's drama list to the palace." ”
Those plays are going to be performed today, the order of the plays, they are all arranged, and a few days ago, Concubine Xi and the emperor will be invited to take a look, if you are temporarily interested, it is common to order a few plays on the spot, after all, this is the best drama team in the capital, and everything is outstanding.
Concubine Xi looked at the gilded drama list in her hand, turned to the back page and saw that the next two plays were "Opening the Mountain to Save the Mother".
"Let's delete this." Concubine Xi's fingers lazily put aside the words of opening the mountain to save her mother.
Huanqing hung her head and said softly: "But Niangniang, this is what Li Zhaoyuan ordered to show the Ninth Princess, and the emperor also knows about it." ”
"This palace said that if it is deleted, it will be deleted," Concubine Xi winked, "The ninth princess is already five years old, and she should be sensible, she knows how to be filial to her mother, and she can't watch this drama of saving her mother, so what if you love it, didn't the one in Jinglan Palace also love to watch it when she was a child?" As a result, even my mother couldn't see it. ”
