Gaozong nodded with satisfaction, "The royal gift of the golden rice bowl also means that the future is bright and can bring a good career with brocade clothes and jade food!" It is not only the emperor or the powerful royal nobles who can use the real golden rice bowl, I reward you today so that you need to eat in the future, and you must not forget what you said before, while you gather infinite blessings and wealth, you must always remember that the people will live a prosperous life in the future! Getting this golden job bowl means that you have a good future, abundant food and clothing, and a good life, but as long as I am alive, you must use every meal, otherwise I will take it back again when I hear that you are not affected! ”

Together with the golden rice bowl, there is also the same pure gold chopsticks and spoons, Li Zhi saw it in his eyes, but he secretly complained, if he could only eat with it in the future, he would be like a nouveau riche, and he would not lose the suspicion of showing off and fighting for power, but it was very easy to cause great disgust from others.

As if knowing what he was thinking at this time, Gaozong couldn't help laughing, but didn't explain: "And the Shang Fang sword that was given to you, I will also take it to Lishan together!" I have heard that you have offered it, which is contrary to what I gave you in the first place. Mr. Li, you must remember not to hesitate to draw your sword, but it is my face that is lost! Okay, you go with Li Dan, remember to remind me three days before the wedding! ”

Li Zhi's face was full of depression and he had to pretend to be as happy as thanking the lord Longen, and when he got out of the courtyard of the study, he couldn't wait to ask Li Dan for advice.

Li Dan smiled bitterly: "I have also heard of it for the first time, although I have also heard of the golden rice bowl given, but it is regarded as an affirmation of the recipient's position, and there is no limit to what the specific use is, and it is really embarrassing to show off a golden rice bowl everywhere all day long!" ”

As a possible future prince, he said this, which made Li Zhi even more uncomfortable, "There is also Shang Fangjian, holding it in his arms to swagger through the market, is it also to be criticized?" Even if those people don't dare to talk about it on the surface, it is inevitable to talk about it behind them! Your Highness, no, I have two big heads now, give me a suck! ”

The glass bottle snuff Gaozong left it to Li Dan, he couldn't hold back a smile when he heard this, took it out and poured a little on Li Zhi's fingertips, Li Zhi's sneeze just sounded, and he began to complain again: "Your Highness, you can't just look at it, you have to think of a way for me, right?" At least on the side, help me ask what the Holy One means. ”

Li Dan waved his hand again and again, "I'm afraid that only the prince is qualified to ask this question, Mr. Li has just seen it, my emperor's dignity is not a joke, a warning is inappropriate, it is very likely that the prince's status is not guaranteed, you don't want him and me to push him into the fire pit!" ”

"How's that good? Looking for the prince's help? ”

"Mr. Li, didn't you notice? To build a picky key, do you want the prince and my brother to go in person? Just ask a gardener to do it! ”

"Oh, I fell for the sage's scheme, the old man asked the prince to avoid it in advance!"

Li Dan looked at Li Zhi as a headless fly and was almost at a loss, and a smile rose in his heart, of course, he was also a little open-minded, because of the appearance of this person, but the whole palace was talking about this person, not to mention Gaozong's words to his two brothers on weekdays.

In fact, half of Li Zhi is pretending, and he can't hear the jokes of others, this kind of panic is to let Li Dan see the most real and weak side of himself, otherwise this person will be the king of a country in the future even if there is a prince above him at this time, let him think of himself, he will always be that unfathomable and profound appearance, but it is an extremely negative effect.

If he wants to see that he still has an ugly and helpless side, it will be revealed if he is an ordinary official who pretends to be like this, after all, he was given a golden rice bowl, and he was ordered to carry it to work, and his career in the future is not all the way up, who dares to say no word to the golden rice bowl in his arms.

Besides, holding it is also a great event to honor the ancestors, even if it is reduced to begging for food with a golden rice bowl, no one dares to snatch it, and even give more food.

But for Li Zhi in the business field, it is a huge torture, even if he knows that he is strictly ordered by the emperor to carry it at any time, but the other party of the transaction does not expect you to ensure that he is promoted and made rich. After a long time, he will naturally think that this is bullying others, and he can't afford to hide if he can't be provoked, and he will definitely become the first choice for businessmen to see him.

From another point of view, Li Zhi put the golden rice bowl on the table, and bargaining and other things don't have to be done by him, who wants to refuse? Just kidding, the emperor gave me a golden rice bowl to protect me from making a fortune, do you dare to resist and disobey the order? If a crime of disobeying the holy decree is reported, which level of yamen will dare not punish you? In the blink of an eye, you're ruined.

Li Dan couldn't bear to listen to Li Zhi's repeated chatter, so he gave him an idea: "This is not easy to do?" The saint will not pit you, and there is a very deep meaning waiting for you to pay attention to it, but I really don't have this plan, I don't let you go to the king of Linhuai County to try it immediately, the king of the county is an old minister in the court, and he must have the most reasonable interpretation! ”

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was about to leave, causing Li Dan to reprimand in a low voice: "Mr. Li, have you forgotten about the Imperial Garden?" You gave it up on your own. ”

Li Zhi suddenly realized, apologized again and again, hurriedly led forward, and went all the way to find the fragrance of flowers.

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial garden, the residence is ten hectares, the water depth is more than zhang, the birds and fish swim, the flowers are planted, the pond water radiates to the palace city, the water network in the garden is dense, the palace and the pavilion are dotted in the meantime, and its scenery is beautiful.

There is a poem that praises: The peony garden in the garden is peachy, and the world is enchanting in April; The most popular day of the year is the spring day, and the flowers in the fairy garden are very popular.

The Imperial Garden is a palace garden with exquisite architecture and compact layout, the ancient cypress and the old acacia and the exotic flowers and plants are almost everywhere, the pavilions and palaces are dotted around, and they are isolated by the criss-crossing flower and stone paths, and there is a certain distance between them, so that the whole garden is both ancient and quiet, and does not lose the palace atmosphere.

The verdant pine, cypress, bamboo in the garden are dotted with mountain stones, forming the evergreen garden landscape of the four seasons, a type of square pavilion sometimes straddles the top of the pool that runs through the garden, the strange stones stack up the stone mountain pile show, although the mountain is low but precipitous, the road is unusually narrow and climbs more steeply, and the technique of stacking stones is very novel.

The two of them accompanied the people in the garden all the way, but saw the beautiful trees and verdant, its ancient cypress vines, all hundreds of years old, and placed all kinds of mountain stone bonsai, strange and strange, and then there are bursts of floral fragrance around the accompaniment, the garden is more and more full of fun.

There is a natural barrier around the place where rare flowers and varieties are concentrated, and it is called Wanchun Garden.

In addition, the pattern in the garden is planted with ancient cypress and old acacia, listing strange stone jade seats, bronze statues of Jinlin, and potted flower piles, adding different scene changes in the garden and enriching the overall level of the imperial garden; The ground is inlaid with various colored pebbles to form a symbolic pattern of blessing, Lu and longevity, which is rich and colorful.

In the brocade flower clusters, there is a stone carving dragon spraying water, building the imperial pavilion on it, coming to it, you can overlook the surrounding scenery, at this time, there is the imperial garden supervisor to interpret to the two: "This piece grows wonderful fragrant flowers, rare and exotic grass, standing here can be unobstructed. ”

Li Dan waved his hand, "The widow is here by holy order to choose some strange flowers and plants for Li Shangqing as a reward, you take him to take a look, for what he designated, there must be no rebellion, even if there is only a lone plant in the garden!" ”

Thinking that this person had never encountered such a thing, he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly bowed down to lead Li Zhi there, and someone on the road had already run quickly to find the trolley, so that it could be held at any time.

Just a few feet into the sea of flowers, Li Zhi felt deeply eye-opening, just a small area of begonias in front of him, there are more than 20 kinds.

Begonia flowers are chic, flowers bloom like brocade, since ancient times it is a famous flower that is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, known as "the fairy in the flower", "the flower concubine", "the flower is noble", the begonia is known as the "national beauty" reputation, planted in the royal garden often with magnolia, peony, osmanthus to match the planting, can form the "jade begonia wealth" artistic conception.

"Can there be seeds for all kinds of begonias? Which breed is the rarest? Li Zhi didn't know what to call him, so he could only skip it directly.

"Seeds are preserved, if it is rare to say that it is Xifu Begonia and Weeping Silk Begonia," he instructed Li Zhi to go, "Xifu Begonia origin Baoji, Baoji has a name of Xifu, Xifu Begonia comes from this, belongs to the newly developed varieties, there are only three plants in the park at present, that is, there are only five plants in Baoji." Begonia is born in the jungle on the slope of the mountain or by the mountain stream, because of the delicate temperament and rarely appears, like the sun, not tolerant to shade, not very cold-tolerant, not to resist waterlogging. ”

"Take a pot of each of these two, and give me some seeds for other varieties of flowers and colors!" Li Zhi said, some people were bending over to move, and some people were registered on the side.

"Are you treated well, my ten-colored note has just been developed, and it will appear here with you!"

The person who buried his head raised his head in surprise, "It turns out that you are Mr. Li of Zhengqing Wenqitang?" These registrations will need to be archived in the future, and naturally need extremely high-grade paper, Mr. Li's small note paper will save us a huge trouble, otherwise we also need to carry a tabletop to support the previous rice paper! ”

"Zhang Lu, don't speak presumptuously!" Someone reprimanded in a very low voice behind Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm not an official, I don't need to be taboo, the more casual the better!" Otherwise, I will send the prince away? ”

After that, he would turn around and shake his hand loudly towards Li Dan not far away, "Your Highness can leave on your own, and I will send someone to deliver snuff tomorrow evening!" Or will Your Highness go with me to Master Tan to get a white jade pot? ”

Li Dan laughed, "The time you spend won't be short, I'll find a place to rest, and Mr. Li will call someone to report before leaving!" Just leave me with one of the white jade pots, and send someone to bring it tomorrow! ”

He was anxious to leave, and it was boring to sit alone in the pavilion.

When he came to the distance, someone whispered, "Mr. Li is a big celebrity in Chang'an City, but I didn't expect to be so familiar with the prince in the palace!" ”

The person who reprimanded him before also smiled and said, "Mr. Li has the only Shang Fang sword in the world, don't you know?" Rush candle. ”

Li Zhile was happy, "My name is given by the current saint twenty years ago, why do you say that I am not familiar with the palace?" ”

Everyone was surprised, this statement was very ingenious, and it immediately blocked everyone's curiosity.

"It is said that there is a kind of Yutang Spring, which is only planted by the imperial family, but I don't know if it is here?" Carrying a few more pots of flowers, Li Zhi suddenly asked.

The imperial garden belongs to the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple, and there is only one director of each palace here, and the rest is specifically responsible for the deputy supervisor from the sixth grade, and the person who reprimands his subordinates is the deputy eunuch Lou, the identity of the eunuch.

Deputy Supervisor Lou replied, "Magnolia." Magnolia is the official title, and Yutangchun is rarely used! There are quite a few in the palace, and at present, this flower is indeed only planted in the court, and it only blooms once a year, and the full flowers are not only beautiful, but also symbolize wealth, auspiciousness and happiness. If Mr. Li wants to transplant a plant, I suggest six flower colors, several kinds of age difference with matching, planted in the garden ornamental, can also be used as grafted magnolia rootstock. ”

"So good! Then I have to trouble Deputy Supervisor Lou to match it, and I don't have to watch it anymore, this ......"

As he was talking, he suddenly saw Shangguan Wan'er and two ordinary palace maids coming out from behind the flowers in front of him, Deputy Supervisor Lou was busy leading people to worship talents, Shangguan Wan'er nodded with a chuckle, and saw Li Zhi with a look of surprise: "Mr. Li? Why did you see you in the palace? And in this royal garden? ”
