Text 388 Luoyang peony

Since His Majesty the Emperor's expedition, Li Hong has gone to Zhenguan Hall to meet Wu Mei every time he goes to the court for the three court meetings in Luoyang, but Wu Mei has not even asked about the political affairs of the court.

However, in the past few days, he summoned a Luoyang gardener every day, and ran to Luoyang Palace two or three times a day, which made Li Hong a little inexplicable, how could a little florist make Long Ma so attentive.

Sitting in the Zhenguan Palace, teasing Li Dan and Li Lingyue, the little fat man Li Dan has lost weight very effectively recently, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, looks more clever, and lacks the simplicity of being bullied by Li Lingyue, but his experience is still like that, he was bullied by Li Lingyue.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the gardener Song Dan's father has gone to the back garden, and is introducing the peony flowers that have been transported from Chang'an and recultivated to the queen, and I ask you if you want to go over." The palace maid said obediently.

"Peony?" Li Hong was stunned, Luoyang peony is indeed the first in the world, but at this time, the prevalence of peony is still in Chang'an.

At least in the Tang Dynasty, the peony has always been prevalent in Chang'an, although the soil quality of Chang'an is more suitable for peonies than the soil quality of Luoyang, but now people talk about peonies, naturally they will still talk about Chang'an peonies.

"Yay...... Hurry up and go to see the peony. Li Lingyue jumped down from the chair excitedly, took Li Hong's big hand, and waved to Li Dan next to him.

"Brother Huang, I'm not going." Li Dan's words flickered, and he said without looking into Li Hong's eyes.

"What do you want to do? This Zhenguan Palace is not eating, after knowing that you are coming, I will hide the palace maid who eats, if you want to eat, go to the East Palace, and let the summer solstice take you. Li Hong knows a lot about the foodie Li Dan, looking at the little guy's appearance, he knew that at lunchtime, he was ordered to lose weight by Long Ma again, and now he is estimated to be hungry again.

Li Dan, who was just ten years old, heard that there was food in the East Palace, and his whole eyes immediately lit up, but when he looked at Li Lingyue, who was wrinkled with Qiong's nose, he flinched a little, he was afraid that Li Lingyue would go to his mother to complain again, and it would be troublesome if he didn't have to eat at night.

"Don't worry, Li Lingyue won't say it." Li Hong motioned for Xia Zhi to leave with Li Dan, and he and Li Lingyue went to the back garden with Bai Chun to see why the queen mother wanted to cultivate peonies in Luoyang.

In myths and legends, it is because the queen mother was angry that the peony was driven from Chang'an to Luoyang, and in the legend, when Wu Mei was enjoying the snow scene in winter, she saw the fireworks in the snow like flames, but if you look closely, it turned out to be a blooming red plum.

And Wu Mei couldn't help but sigh when she saw the red plum in full bloom, but the person who accompanied her to enjoy the snow next to her patted her ass and said: "No matter how good the plum blossoms are, they only bloom alone, if you make an order to let this garden bloom with a hundred flowers, wouldn't it be even more beautiful." ”

Since there are flattering people next to him, there are upright people who say: "It is the right time to beautify and bloom in the cold winter, and if you want a hundred flowers to bloom, it is better to wait for the next spring." ”

With the help of wine: "It's not surprising that flowers bloom in spring." A hundred flowers and snow are blooming, which is in line with my heart. ”

So he immediately issued an order and wrote a poem: "The Ming Dynasty traveled to the garden, and the fire reported the spring." The flowers bloom overnight, don't wait for the wind to blow. Then he ordered it to be burned, and the god of flowers knew.

On the morning of the second day, all the flowers in the upper garden were competing to open, but the peony had never opened, so Wu Mei was angry and set fire to the peony in Chang'an, and the plant was not left.

In the end, the anger still did not subside, and he once again ordered the peony to be uprooted, expelled from Chang'an, and thrown to Luoyang Mountain, so that it would be cut off from the middle.

Although Li Hong doesn't know where such myths and legends came about, it is conceivable that when Wu Mei ascended the throne as emperor, the evaluation of her in the history books would never describe her as a gentle and intellectual woman.

But even so, Li Hong also knows that he is afraid that in his life, he will not figure out why the queen mother will set up a wordless monument after her death, and let the world judge herself.

Is it because she is arrogant enough to feel that she has made great achievements, and any comments seem insignificant to her, and no one is qualified to evaluate her? Or Wu Mei has long seen through the hearts of the people, rather than erecting a monument, it is better to proudly stand a wordless monument and leave a thousand-year-old legend between heaven and earth.

Wu Mei listened to the myths and legends told by Li Hong, and while admiring the purple and red peony flowers of all colors, she said lightly: "I see, your mythical story made out of nothing is simply stupid, there is no logic at all, this storyteller is not an open-minded person, so slander is really the behavior of a villain." ”

"Ah, why did the Queen Mother say that? The queen mother relegated it to Luoyang because the peony flowers were not in full bloom, which is very natural, and it is also in line with the queen mother's ruthless character. Li Hong told the myths and legends to his dragon mother as they were, but he changed the person from his dragon mother to the queen mother.

As for the place name, Chang'an and Luoyang, Li Hong didn't even bother to change it, so he directly used Chang'an and Luoyang to narrate, after all, Chang'an still has a Han Chang'an City, so the queen mother will not be suspicious of herself.

What's more, this mythical story was also made up after she ascended the throne as the emperor, and before she ascended the throne, she did not expel the peony.

Wu Mei looked at him with a smile, and continued to say lightly: "Since the queen mother likes to stay in Luoyang more than in Chang'an, then since when a hundred flowers are blooming, this beautiful and noble peony has not bloomed, will the queen mother be angry and demote the peony that resists the decree to her favorite Luoyang?" Does this logic make sense? If it is degraded, it should be forbidden for people in the world to plant and cultivate peonies, but it is just expelled, or their favorite capital, it makes no sense. ”

Before Li Mei stopped her, she quickly picked off a peony and inserted it in the center of Li Lingyue's head, and suddenly the royal princess, who was originally carved in pink and jade, noble and elegant, became a silly girl.

"That's what you admire, who told you to fold her!" Wu Mei pushed Li Hong, and the good peony flowers had to be folded off.

"Is the queen good-looking?" Li Lingyue cooperated with Li Hong's performance, or wanted to take this opportunity to let the queen mother beat her royal brother who always liked to tease her.

"Good-looking, your imperial brother's vision for appreciating beauties is unique, don't you know if you look at Bai Chun?" Wu Mei didn't bother to pay attention to the silly girl's stupid expression, and said lazily.

The florist Song Dan's father introduced all the cultivated peony varieties to Wu Mei, and Wu Mei nodded straight when she listened, and Li Hong intentionally or unintentionally said that the soil quality of Luoyang is more suitable for the planting of peony flowers, so that Wu Mei couldn't help but be moved, and wanted to cultivate more peonies in Luoyang.

Li Lingyue, who was a little ghost, saw that the queen mother didn't mean to clean up the little rabbit cub for her, so she also began to learn from her royal brother's obscene appearance, and without Wu Mei paying attention, she secretly folded off a white peony flower, quietly pinched it in her hand, and then followed closely behind Bai Chun, and tied the peony flower to the tip of Bai Chun's vertical buttocks.

Seeing that his trick succeeded, he immediately looked up and laughed triumphantly, and the white pure laughter was inexplicable.

Wu Mei glanced at Li Lingyue helplessly, then looked at Bai Chun who helped her clean up the peony flowers, personally stopped Bai Chun, helped Bai Chun untie the peony flowers from the long show, and then said to Li Lingyue: "Li Lingyue, do you know the fate of offending Bai Chun?" You won't have any toys in the future. ”

When Li Lingyue heard that the queen mother didn't help herself, but actually helped Bai Chun, her mouth suddenly deflated, and she snorted: "The imperial brother bullied his son, and the son's minister bullied his woman, which is right." ”

"Oops, hey, it's against you, when did I bully you? My baby, you're too late. Li Hong suddenly cried out.

Li Lingyue still pouted, pointed to the peony flower on the top of her head, which was weakly drooping, rolled her little eyes and said, "Do you think I don't know that this is ugly?" ”

"It's pretty good, stupid and cute."

"You're stupid." Li Lingyue pouted, she couldn't bully His Royal Highness the Prince, and now even His Royal Highness the Prince's women are protected by the queen mother, hum, the queen mother is eccentric.

Wu Mei didn't bother to pay attention to why Li Hong always likes to quarrel with Li Lingyue, and it seems that she is still enjoying it every time, such a big person, he just refuses to grow up, and he really doesn't have the demeanor of a prince.

"Say, when do you plan to go back to Chang'an, I'm ready to prepare." Wu Mei and Bai Chun put the bright red peony in the group of white peony flowers, and said with satisfaction looking at the posed shape.

"Set off in three days, Erchen has already informed the hundred officials in the court today that they can return to Chang'an on their own within three days, or they can follow the queen mother back to Chang'an, and let them choose for themselves." Li Hong watched Bai Chun bend down and hurriedly beckoned to Li Lingyue.

Li Lingyue hurriedly ripped off another peony flower, ran two steps with her calves, and the brother and sister worked together again to tie a peony flower to Bai Chun's tip.

Wu Mei didn't even stop it at this time, she looked at the brother and sister as demons, took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid and wiped her hands, sat down in the pavilion, admired the peony with satisfaction, and then looked at Song Dan's father who sent the peony flowers, pointed to Li Hong's figure and said: "In a while, these peony flowers will be ten times the original price, just ask His Royal Highness the prince for money." ”

"How dare you, the queen can like these peonies, it is really a blessing for the small people, how can she ask for money." Song Dan's father was the first person to cultivate peonies, from the first time he saw the queen trembling and speechless, to now he can speak like a stream, I have to say that he has improved a lot.

"Then how can it be done, you still have to collect the money, just ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for it, remember to multiply it tenfold." Wu Mei leisurely picked up the teacup and drank tea, looking at Li Lingyue's head show, I don't know when Li Hong was full of peony flowers.

After passing through those hateful hands, the original little flower fairy became a little silly lady on the streets of Luoyang.

And Bai Chun obviously did not escape the clutches of the two brothers and sisters, black and bright, soft as a waterfall on the long show, like a knot, from the tip to the end, was tied with peony flowers.
