Chapter 15 Sending Potted Orchids

Qi Liang walked to a brocade pier on the right side and sat down next to half of his buttocks, swept around, and then had the heart to look at the surrounding environment, brocade curtains, curtains danced lightly in the wind, the fragrance of the four gilded copper incense burners in the corner of the house curled, and a group of palace maids and grandmothers stood solemnly outside the door of the double crossover four ryoling flowers, but there was one exception - Xiao Liuzi was holding a pot of flowers and squeezing his eyes, Qi Liang suddenly forgot to give a gift to Xiaozhuang, and stood up again and bowed and said: "The Queen Mother!" Ying Xiong has a pot of precious orchids and wants to give it to you! Before entering the palace, he did some research on the Empress Dowager and knew that she liked flowers and plants, so he did what he liked.

"Oh!" The Empress Dowager sighed lightly, disapproving, there were too many people who gave her flowers, what famous flowers she hadn't seen?

"It's an American orchid!" Qi Liang said in an accentuated tone.

"Orchid? Take it to the mourners! "Finally aroused the interest of the Empress Dowager.

"Little Liuzi! Give the flowers to the Queen Mother! Qi Liang turned around and shouted out the door.

Xiao Liuzi came in with a flower, slammed it on the ground and said: "The slave knocks on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" ”

The Empress Dowager walked down, stared at the orchid intently, and asked, "What kind of flower is this?" ”

Qi Liang stood on the side and said, "This is the Western Tiger Head Orchid!" ”

The stems are large and oval, and the flower stems are oblique, although there are no flowers, they are already fragrant and refreshing, and they are different from the orchids that the Queen Mother has seen. The Empress Dowager was overjoyed and couldn't put it down, Qi Liang continued: "This flower is pale yellow-green, with purple-red stripes or small spots on it, with the fragrance of lilacs, and the whole flower resembles a "tiger head", hence the name! ”

Tiger head orchid is nothing in Qi Liang's era, but in this era tiger head orchid is a famous product, tiger head orchid grows in the tropics and subtropics, and the current conditions are difficult to survive and bloom in northern China, but this is not Qi Liang's concern, he only cares about whether he can please the empress dowager.

"What a tiger head orchid!" The Empress Dowager sighed lightly, glanced at Qi Liang, and asked meaningfully, "Is this the flower of the forehead?" ”

Touching the Empress Dowager's sharp gaze, Qi Liang didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "My father knows that the Empress Dowager likes orchids, and the special envoy has sent a plant from the south to honor you!" ”

"The prince of Pingxi has a heart!" The Empress Dowager stroked the long ribbon leaves of the tiger head orchid, "However, this tiger head flower mourning family can't see it!" Let's move down! ”

Qi Liang was stunned, he realized that the Empress Dowager was the one who really understood flowers, and the old man could see at a glance that this flower was beyond his reach!

"The old body is old, I miss those old friends in the past, and the prince of Pingxi will not come back to see the old body, the old body misses him!" The Empress Dowager slumped back to her seat.

"My father also misses the Empress Dowager very much, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are often mentioned in the letter!" Qi Liang replied cautiously,

"The prince of Pingxi has been fighting horses all his life, and his achievements are high, and he has made great achievements for my Qing Dynasty, and it is time to enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty!" The Empress Dowager muttered, as if she was talking to herself, but the voice could be heard by anyone.

Qi Liang pursued the principle that if he said too much, he would lose it, and stood quietly and did not answer, he thought that there must be a reason for the Empress Dowager's words.

The Empress Dowager glanced at it, and saw that the obese Qi Liang was staying on the side and looked stupid, and smiled inadvertently, Lao Tzu Tiger's son Xiong!

Qi Liang, who seemed to be straightforward, was very anxious in his heart, worried that Xiao Kangxi would come at any time, thought for a moment, and stood up and said: "The Empress Dowager!" Ying Xiong is unwell, let Ying Xiong retire first! "His words are a bit nondescript and unconventional, but he is extremely reluctant to make him call himself a minion.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and said, "It's still early for the door to close at noon!" Let's stay and have dinner together! The emperor will come later! ”

Really worried about what's coming, Qi Liang sighed bitterly and retreated to his seat. At this time, a palace maid holding a yellow silk handkerchief outside the door stepped on the "bottom of the flower pot" and came in, and Ying Ying saluted: "The Empress Dowager!" The slave has informed the emperor, and the emperor said that he would come over after approving the booklet! ”

"Su Ma, come and see Jianning!" Xiaozhuang nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"The slave knocks on the princess and the forehead!" The woman was about to kneel, and Jian Ning had already taken the first step to hold on, took the woman's hand, and said happily: "Aunt Su Ma, Jian Ning misses you so much!" ”

Aunt Sumara? Qi Liang looked at the woman in amazement, without a trace of powder on her face, her body was beautiful, her appearance was dignified and beautiful, she had a demeanor of everyone, and she had a unique intoxicating Qingli Fengshen, which showed that her girlhood was charming, but the white hair between her temples was engraved with traces of time, indicating that her youth was gone!

Is this the Aunt Su Mala on TV who was adopted by Queen Xiaozhuang and Kangxi, who is also a teacher, friend and lover? Qi Liang realized that he had been fooled by the TV series again.

In history, Su Mala Gu is just a wedding maid of Xiaozhuang, the age is about the same as Xiaozhuang, "Su Mala" is the meaning of half a big pocket in Mongolian, adding a "Gu" after "Su Mala" is her honorific title, Su Mala Gu is a talented girl, the Qing Dynasty's clothing was formulated by her, she taught Kangxi Manchu and Chinese, and did do Kangxi's teacher.

The three of them were talking about themselves, and only Qi Liang was sitting alone and thinking boredly. It was getting dark, and a woman came in outside the door, and the woman knelt on the ground and said, "The Empress Dowager, the emperor will be here soon!" ”

"Sister Lan!" Jianning sat down in surprise, "Come over and let me see!" ”

"The slave has seen the princess and the forehead!" The woman bows and bows.

Jian Ning took the woman's hand and said, "Sister Lan is getting more and more beautiful!" The two are about the same age, and they are very affectionate when they meet, which shows that the two have a very close personal relationship.

Qi Liang looked at the woman carefully, dressed in plain white, tall and tall, with clear contours as if deliberately carved, and a delicate face like melon seeds.

The Lan woman caught a glimpse of Qi Liang's pig brother, frowned slightly, and talked to Jian Ning quietly on the surface, secretly strange, he dared to look at me directly today!

"Su Ma! Inform the Imperial Dining Room to prepare for dinner! The Empress Dowager smiled kindly.

"Yes!" After Aunt Su Ma went down, Qi Liang listened to it for a long time before he understood that this Lan woman was a folk girl adopted by the Empress Dowager, who grew up with Kangxi, seven or eight years older than Kangxi, and her name was Sang Lanzhu. Qi Liang thinks that the TV drama writer and director put Sang Lanzhu and Su Malagu Zhang Guanli on it, and Sang Lanzhu should be the "Su Malagu" in the TV series in later generations, or combine the two into one! Qi Liang was thinking wildly, and a rumor came from outside: "The emperor has arrived!" Suddenly, a large number of people knelt down inside and out, Jian Ning stood up happily and greeted the door, and Qi Liang followed.

"The slave knocks on the emperor!" The palace maids, grandmothers, and eunuchs greeted each other for a while, and they were inconsistent and inconsistent, not as neat as in the TV series.

"Jianning knocks to see the emperor!"

"Minister Wu Yingxiong knocks on the emperor!" This is Qi Liang kneeling down to the second person today, but at this time, he no longer has half of his mind thinking about the problem of self-esteem, he is only very excited and nervous now, and finally sees this historical figure.

"Imperial aunt, forehead, please get up!" Kangxi started his hand.

"Emperor Xie!" Qi Liang and Jianning said in unison.

"Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother!" Kangxi took a step forward.

The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly: "Go and make love with your imperial aunt!" ”

"Huh!" Kangxi turned around happily, ran to Jian Ning, and said excitedly: "Imperial aunt! Please sit here! ”

Qi Liang looked at the lively Kangxi in astonishment, and the contrast in his heart was huge, where is this majestic and sacred emperor? It's clearly just a young man!

Kangxi was of medium stature, with delicate eyebrows and a sunny smile on his face, and if it weren't for the turmeric gauze casual clothes on his body embroidered with a dragon, no one would associate him with the supreme emperor.

Kangxi and Jianning had an intimate conversation, and the Empress Dowager interjected a few words from time to time, this was a family gathering, the atmosphere was full of warmth and harmony, but Qi Liang was out of place, and he didn't feel comfortable until the beginning of the dinner.
