Chapter 63: Flower Appreciation
Royal Palace, Katsura Garden –
A broad road extends to the queen's bedroom - "Fengming Garden", and both sides are planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, red and yellow, which are very splendid.
Before she reached the end, Lin Yue had already smelled the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and she unconsciously took a few deep breaths.
"Yes, you're not welcome at that moment, just taste it."
There were a few laughs and conversations inside, and Lin Yue was very keen to hear the queen's gentle voice.
is different from the temperament of Concubine Rou, as the mother of a country, her words and deeds are mixed with a kind of dignified and calm in the world.
As if sensing her arrival, the queen, who was talking to the ladies, raised her head.
The two looked at each other until they collided, and Lin Yue couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.
But soon, she hid the strangeness in her eyes, and said with a generous demeanor: "Lin Yue, the folk girl, I have seen the queen's mother." ”
"Miss Lin doesn't have to be polite, we've seen it, at the banquet."
Raising her hand to beckon the maid to present a chair to Lin Yue, the queen motioned for Lin Yue to come by her side.
This move can make the ladies present very red-eyed.
was embarrassed in her heart, but Lin Yue could only step forward as she said, and then she sat down, and the surrounding large tracts of glamor broke into her eyes.
From the beginning of Lin Yue's entrance, there is a general observation of this Gui Garden, which covers an area of about 500 square meters, and a pavilion is built in the middle, surrounded by rockeries.
And this pavilion is surrounded by an osmanthus tree.
It's September, but the osmanthus trees here are already blooming, and the rich fragrance seems to be able to penetrate the skin.
If you sit in this courtyard for a long time, I'm afraid that the whole person will become fragrant, right?
A flash of amazement flashed in her eyes, and before she could sigh, the queen seemed to have understood her thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Miss Lin seems to like osmanthus very much?" ”
Slightly stunned, Lin Yue quickly replied: "Yes, osmanthus is really beautiful." ”
"Beauty? But it has neither the nobility of peonies nor the splendor of begonias, I don't know where Miss Lin saw its beauty? ”
Somehow, Lin Yue's praise didn't seem to win the queen's favor, she raised her hand and picked up an osmanthus flower that happened to fall on the sleeve, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry in her tone.
This change of the queen instantly stunned everyone on the field, and many noble ladies even snickered unkindly at this time.
"Look, let her love to please people, and now she has photographed the queen's horse's leg, right? Let's see how she's cleaned up! ”
A young girl with an immature appearance couldn't help grinning the corners of her mouth, and said to Li Shu beside her with some schadenfreude.
The unsuppressed voice reached everyone's ears in an instant.
Li Shu didn't answer, but from her look, you could still see her thoughts.
Yes, the queen's current attitude is indeed like a deliberate embarrassment, and almost half of the people think so.
Hearing the girl's words, the queen only raised her eyebrows slightly, "So Miss Qin is alluding to the fact that this palace is a horse?" ”
Qin Ming'er, a member of Concubine Rou's mother's family.
"No, don't dare, the courtiers don't mean that, the queen mother, you misunderstood!"
Frightened, Qin Ming'er didn't think that her words would anger the queen, and she was so excited that she was busy begging for mercy.
Lin Yue was not interested in this, no matter why Qin Ming'er looked at her unpleasantly, in her eyes she was just an irrelevant person.
"Back to the queen, the beauty of osmanthus and its beauty and wisdom, it is not as amazing as peony and begonia, it is all because of introverted. It doesn't have to be memorable at first sight, but when you look closely, it's even more profound. ”
Bright yellow flowers, only five petals of small flowers, if it is compared to a person, it must be a beauty of a small jasper family.
Her eyes lit up slightly, and the queen no longer paid attention to Qin Ming'er, turning her head, a pair of shining eyes fell on Lin Yue's hideous face.
Xiupa hid his face and smiled softly, and the queen completely let go of her worries.
When they raised their hands, everyone only smelled the aroma, and a plate of small snacks was presented.
The turquoise porcelain plate has only a few pastries on it, but everyone can't ignore the aroma it emits.
Subconsciously swallowed her saliva, Lin Yue recognized this plate of osmanthus cake at a glance, it is rumored that only the imperial chef of the queen's bedroom can make it, the osmanthus cake once a year!
"Imperial ......"
"Come, Miss Lin try it, but you can be satisfied with the taste."
Lin Yue opened her mouth at this time, and the queen directly pinched a piece of osmanthus cake and sent it into her hand.
In just an instant, Lin Yue felt the envy, jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
Biting the handkerchief with some resentment, Li Shu's eyes almost pierced Lin Yue, who doesn't know the preciousness of this pastry.
Don't look at the fact that they are all invited by the queen, but there are only a few people who can really eat pastries.
Why did Lin Yue come for the first time and win the favor of the queen!
was unwilling in her heart, but everyone had no time to take care of her feelings.
After thanking the queen, Lin Yue couldn't wait to take a bite, and the soft and glutinous taste of the Q bomb made her fall in love with it in an instant.
After coming here for so long, Lin Yue was already used to eating powdered dried dim sum, and now this delicious osmanthus cake is faintly comparable to modern craftsmanship.
No wonder these people can't wait to eat her when they see her color.
The rockery is murmuring, the fragrance of flowers is curling, and then in such a crisp autumn afternoon, the huge laurel garden is full of young ladies from the capital.
Flower viewing is an activity that women love, so the queen also invites all girls.
didn't see Shao Ningyan in the crowd, so Lin Yue gave up looking.
Just as she was entertaining herself, the young ladies who hated her a long time ago came forward to compliment her like bees picking flowers.
Glancing at Bi Xin, Lin Yue quickly grasped the thoughts of this group of people.
But it's not good to directly brush everyone's faces, and after a conversation, it seems to be integrated into the group.
In the pavilion not far away, Li Shu watched this scene from afar, and her silver teeth were almost crushed.
Yoo Hye Hye stood beside her, and her face was also not very good-looking.
"Sister Li, why don't you find a way to cure her?"
Since the last banquet was humiliated, Liu Huihui has completely hated Lin Yue.
Thinking about how much honor her status as the number one talented woman in the capital brought her, after losing to Lin Yue, she was left with ridicule and contempt.
Almost everyone began to scoff at her piano skills, which made Yoo Hye-hye, who was used to praise, unbearable at all.
Rubbish!
scolded secretly in her heart, as soon as Li Shu thought of this, she was angry in her heart.
"Miss Liu didn't make her lose face last time, what can I do?"
said with a sneer, and didn't look at Liu Huihui's face, but Li Shu had already made up her mind in her heart.
Ignoring Liu Huihui behind him, Li Shu strode forward and smiled at Lin Yue.
