Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Story Behind Raising Flowers
The Seventh Prince asked you something. Nangong Xue sat in the pavilion and watched Zhao Jie plant flower seedlings while asking, "Is it any flower or tree that can be planted in your hands?" ”
"That's a very absolute question. I'm not a green finger, planting anything to live. Zhao Jie replied lightly while playing with the flower seedlings, "Let me tell you this, nine times out of ten, I can plant it, and the rest can only depend on the vitality of the seedlings themselves." After all, I've worked hard, and whether the rest of us can survive depends on its own creation. I'm not a god either, so I can't give you a 100% ticket. You know what I mean, right? ”
After speaking, Nangong Xue nodded in understanding. Then continue to drink water. Zhao Jie asked, "What's wrong?" Do you want to add some flowers and saplings to your back garden? And then I got into trouble and came to learn from me? But then again, how do you know I'm experienced with these? I don't think I told you before, and you didn't ask me. ”
"No, it's not me who adds flowers and saplings to my house." Nangong Xue replied, "Actually, I came today to invite you out of the mountain." I have a renovation project over there, you should know about it, right? I want to add a little green and fresh feeling, and divide several areas to plant some flowers and trees, the reason why I know that you are good at these is also what Hua Hua told me. That's why I'm here today to ask for your ride. I wonder if you can appreciate me for this? ”
When Zhao Jie heard Nangong Xue's explanation, he was a little happy in his heart
After hearing Zhao Jie's concerns, Nangong Xue put down the tea bowl in her hand and said confidently: "I fully understand your concerns, don't worry, as long as you are willing to follow me out of the mountains and drive to Xicheng to plant flowers and trees, I will never let this matter be ruined." But then again, your noble body is enclosed in the palace walls all day long, and you can't see any changes outside, so you will have such concerns, but now it is different, you can go with me to take a look, first, take the opportunity to walk out of this big red wall and take a look, and second, if you can plant, then don't you have another space to show your infinite charm? And it can be regarded as borrowing your strength, and the Xicheng reconstruction project will be completed perfectly. Why not give it a try? ”
As soon as Nangong Xue said this, Zhao Jie was a little nervous in his heart. I thought: "What she said also has some truth, due to identity restrictions, I can't go out of the palace at will every day within this high wall, and I can't see anything happening outside, no matter whether this thing works out or not, at least it's always good to take this opportunity to go out and see, why not?" So he nodded and responded, "Yes, I promised you to go out and have a look, in fact, it's really not possible to talk about going out of the mountain, I just borrowed your strength to have the opportunity to go out of the palace, and my father won't hinder me too much, don't say, since you became this official, I don't know what others think, at least I think you seem to be very respected by your father, why do you say that, just because I found that as long as it is something that has anything to do with you, my father will not stop it nine times out of ten." Otherwise, how could the thirteenth and seventh sisters be approved to practice medicine so easily? Although they are still studying in the Tai Hospital, they can still go out of the palace at will to see those who need to see a doctor but can't afford to see a doctor. Isn't it all because of you? So, in other words, you're still the savior of those of us who are kept captive by the big red wall. ”
"You're too serious." Nangong Xue waved her hand slightly and said, "Actually, it's all because of your good creation." I'm the brick that knocks on the door, and after you knock on the door, how you get in and what will happen when you get in depends on your own creation. As for why the emperor didn't stop you, isn't it because you did a good job and won the emperor's approval that you were allowed to continue? Every word you have worked on yourself, and my role is minimal. Don't put those top hats on me, I can't stand these words. I think so highly of me. ”
"Okay, okay. As you say, I won't give you a top hat. Zhao Jie smiled and said, "In this way, I will go and tell my father after I have planted these seedlings, and then see if my father will approve it, if not, I am afraid that you will have to come forward to help me, otherwise I really can't step out of the threshold of this high wall." After speaking, Nangong Xue replied very happily: "Okay, no problem, the emperor really won't let you out of the palace, then I will do my best to persuade the emperor." You can rest assured. Your willingness to help me really solves my urgent need. In that case, you are my savior. As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jie laughed twice and said, "Then I'll continue to make flower seedlings first." It will take some time, and if you feel a little bored watching me make the seedlings during this period, you can take a walk around this garden and pass the time. I'll do my best to get it right. Nangong Xue nodded and responded: "Well, okay, it's okay, don't worry, you can do it slowly, anyway, it's just now." Leave me alone, I'm sitting here drinking water and looking at the lotus flowers next to me. Seeing that Nangong Xue said so, Zhao Jie didn't say anything more. He buried his head and continued to play with the flower seedlings in his hands. And Nangong Xue sat on the side and watched quietly.
Speaking from the heart, Nangong Xue couldn't help but admire Zhao Jie when she watched Zhao Jie take care of the flowers and trees in a garden so carefully, this is a rare scene in her opinion, although the princes she saw in her previous life were all on the TV screen, but those princes were arrogant and arrogant and were about to ascend to heaven. Will there be a person who will be as obsessed with planting flowers and trees as the one in front of him, and will take care of the plants in a garden regardless of these dirt-stained sections? "It's so rare." Nangong Xue couldn't help but sigh. Although the voice was small, it was still heard by Zhao Jie, he raised his head and asked puzzledly: "What is so rare?" When Nangong Xue heard this, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." I'm just sighing, don't you care. Zhao Jie was still a little curious when she heard it, why did she suddenly say that it was rare? So he asked, "Can you tell me what you sighed?" I'm curious. Nangong Xue saw Zhao Jie asking so puzzled all the way, and replied: "Hey, that is, it depends on how much your status can be so low for flowers and trees, and you don't care about being contaminated with dirt for the sake of flowers and trees, so I will sigh for this." After hearing Nangong Xue's answer, Zhao Jie smiled and said with a happy expression: "Actually, I won't tell you, like your answer just now, someone has told me before, it can be said that you are the second person to say these words to me." Nangong Xue couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this, and said curiously: "Is it?" Who's the first one? Your Majesty? Zhao Jie shook his head and said, "It's not my father, it's my mother, my own mother." It is because of my mother that I can love and maintain these flowers and trees as I do today. Nangong Xue sat aside and listened to Zhao Jie quietly without saying a word, "When I was three years old, I followed my mother every day, and my mother loved flowers and trees very much, and none of the flower seedlings and saplings planted by her died." All of them can live, and they are all very vigorous, and they are all beautiful when they bloom, so if you go to Wenzhen Palace now, you will definitely see the flowers in the courtyard, and you will not notice that it is still a dormitory where a lady lives. So because of my mother's relationship I also like to raise flowers and trees, I think it's really a kind of enjoyment, I just followed the queen mother to learn to plant flowers and saplings when I was four years old, the first time I planted flower saplings and saplings by myself made myself like a clay man, but I was still very happy but I didn't care about the mud staining my clothes, so at that time my queen mother also said the same thing as you, I think I am so rare. Now I feel very happy to hear you say it again. It's true. After listening to Zhao Jie's story, Nangong Xue couldn't help but feel a little happy, within this big red wall, she could still hear such a happy story, it was as heartwarming as a burning torch for people on the indifferent ice and snow continent. Thinking of this, Nangong Xue also thought of her mother in this life, although she had only been together for a few years, it was much better than not enjoying her mother's love, so she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears in the corners of her eyes. These tears are tears of happiness. It is the tears that Nangong Xue has been pursuing and longing for her mother's love for a long time.
As he spoke, Zhao Jie picked up all the lotus seedlings that had been cultivated, and then saw him move the flower seedlings to the boat one by one, and said, "Xiaoxue, I'll be busy here after I plant all these in the pond, you just wait for me for a while." Nangong Xue nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, don't worry, hey, yes, if you don't mind, can you sit on the boat too?" I want to take a closer look at these lotus flowers you raise. After hearing Nangong Xue's request, Zhao Jie smiled and nodded back: "Of course you can, I also want to show you my results." Come on board. ”
After speaking, Nangong Xue also followed on the boat. Zhao Jie steadily rowed the boat to the place where he was going, and then stopped, and then saw that he used a noose to fix the lotus seedlings to prevent the lotus from falling on one side, and then slowly put them one by one to the bottom of the pond, and finally saw that the lotus flowers were safely in the silt at the bottom of the pond, Zhao Jie released the noose and took it back and put it on the boat. And Nangong Xue quietly watched Zhao Jie place the flower seedlings, and couldn't stop looking at the lotus flowers around, to say in her heart, it was the first time for Nangong Xue to watch the lotus flowers so closely. After the warm wind that just blew over, the lotus and the lotus pod shook slightly, but they still looked so clean and tidy, it was really the sentence that was written well, "out of the mud without staining" Such a beautiful lotus flower made Nangong Xue appreciate it for a long time at close range, so that she was a little reluctant to leave. If it weren't for the progress of the project, Nangong Xue would be willing to spend a whole day in a small boat surrounded by lotus flowers like now.
After placing all the flower seedlings, Zhao Jie slowly rowed the boat to the shore and helped Nangong Xue ashore, and then he asked Nangong Xue to wait for a while, he went back to the dormitory to change his clothes, and then went with Nangong Xue to meet his father. Therefore, Nangong Xue sat in the pavilion in the garden, waiting for Zhao Jie, and at the same time took this opportunity to enjoy the flowers in the garden.
