Chapter 66: The Queen's Love
No one announced the news of Gu Zi'an's death due to illness. Mobile terminal Queen Zhao kept an eye on it, wanting to confirm on the side whether Gu Zi'an was dead or not. Why did Zhang Ji and others still pretend that nothing had happened?
She couldn't figure out Zhang Ji's purpose, so she could only call Zhao Yien to discuss together, Zhao Yien would be summoned every morning these days to discuss, passing through doors every day, passing through the brilliant and tall palaces, he was reluctant to leave. Where is your mansion so spacious and gorgeous?
"What is Zhang Ji's bad old man thinking? Why didn't Xia Jun and them move at all? Zhao Chai asked, confused, impatient and a little disdainful in his words.
"Maybe it's because Gu Zi'an, who couldn't accept his support for a while, passed away, and he hasn't thought of a countermeasure yet, so he doesn't know what to do." Zhao Yien also guessed: "So why don't you send someone to check again?" Zhang Ji is scheming, we can't fall for him. ”
Zhao Chai snorted lightly: "If you don't say it, I know." It's just that Gu Zhang's corpse has been in the ice cellar, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and he has been secretly mourning, saying that he has been sick for more than three months, and I can't stand the pressure here. The initiative is only beneficial if it is in our hands. There are already suspicions and rumors on the part of the ministers, and if we are too wait-and-see, it is easy to turn the situation into an unfavorable situation. Zhao Chai has been galloping in the harem for many years, and knows that the word "initiative" is the most important, once the power of choice falls into the hands of others, then he can only be led by the nose all the way. In this way, all the work done is wasted.
"Who dares to say that you are not, I am the first to be a brother and will not let me!" Zhao Yien said impassionedly, "Your emperor is the only one who should inherit the unification, even if there are rumors, they can only bow down to the ministers!" ”
Zhao Yien has become more and more obedient to Zhao Hai recently, which makes her very satisfied.
During the conversation, a maidservant girl came over and said softly: "Niangniang, it was said that the little young master who planted orchids arrived with the flowers." ”
"The minister will retire first." Zhao Chai waved his hand casually, Zhao Yien glanced at the somewhat wilted orchid stems and leaves in the hall, and turned to retreat.
Two shadow guards with strong martial arts escorted Hongyue's carriage behind and rushed to Yangshang. One is lurking inside the palace, and the other is lying in ambush outside the palace ready to deliver a message. Hongyue wore a gorgeous gold-silk jacket and a beautiful new goatskin hat, and the carriage was much wider than that of ordinary people. Speaking of him lurking in the palace, he is actually not afraid, after all, he was sick and died before, and how to repay his life-saving benefactor is the most important thing. Bai Xining has memorized the mantra he taught him perfectly. Other children may be nervous when they encounter this, but Xiao Hongyue is a little excited.
As soon as Zhao Chai heard that the orchid had arrived, he was overjoyed, and he didn't stand up, so he directly arranged for the palace maid to send him a message to wait in the front hall, and sent two people to move two pots of orchids that he liked, but the orchids that were not well taken care of and some withered followed behind.
As soon as he saw Queen Zhao, Hongyue seriously knelt on the ground and made a big salute. As soon as Zhao Chai's attention entered the house, he was attracted by the half-purple and half-blue "Mandarin Duck Orchid" behind Hongyue! She had never seen such beautiful and magnificent colors in her dreams! She walked straight over, pausing a few steps away to take a closer look. The veins of this orchid leaf are very clear and transparent, and people can see the shining points of light under the sun, looking at it from a distance, as if it is shining with starlight. The orchids on it stretch out, like butterflies dancing one by one, and between the flowers, they echo with each other. Sure enough, Shen Yun is different! People say, "The sword is given to the hero, and the pearl is matched with the beauty", but Queen Zhao looked at the orchid and thought that she was not a vulgar woman, and other women only gave pearls, and she had lofty ambitions and full of elegance. Come to think of it. Zhao Hai was overjoyed. He felt that all the gold and silver utensils around him paled in comparison to it.
"Queen, your mother is a noble woman with lofty aspirations, and the people sing your name. Today, this mandarin duck orchid is the most precious new variety in the world, and it is specially presented to show your admiration and love. "Hongyue's clear children's voice is pleasant to the ear.
Zhao Chai looked at the childish orchid expert, and said "reward", and the palace maid immediately brought two golden barley.
"I still have two orchids here, the predecessors didn't take care of them well, it is said that you are small and capable, you may save them?" The palace ladies put the flowers in front of them.
Like an expert in orchid research, Hongyue looked at the buds, touched the leaves lightly, dipped some soil in his mouth and tasted them, and replied calmly: "It can be saved." I need some white veil to cover the window, and I need two small tubes, and with careful care, and the nourishment of my family's ancestral orchids, you will soon see that they are better than ever, Queen. Hongyue said word by word very seriously, and it was not in vain that he memorized the pamphlet that Bai Xining wrote for him all the way.
"Moreover, I have tasted this soil, and it is indeed salty, which is not conducive to the growth of orchids, and the rhizomes are also easy to burn. Add a little vinegar to make it look even better. What Hongyue said was the Tao, Zhao Chai listened carefully, and was overjoyed, thinking that he would leave him in the palace and grow the most beautiful orchid in the world for himself, so as to show his virtue as shown by the orchid!
Hongyue heard Queen Zhao's kind invitation and obediently agreed. And taking advantage of the queen's joy, she boasted that she could use some special soil and vegetation in the nearby mountains to create a large orchid world, and let all kinds of orchids sway in it. Instead of being left to be played with in the basin. In this way, the nobility and nobility of the orchid can be reflected! Queen Zhao was even more overjoyed when she heard it! She felt that she was becoming more and more attached to orchids! Isn't she the kind of person who doesn't let fate play with her, but wants to be proud of the world? In her joy, Queen Zhao immediately assigned Hongyue a few palace maids who were the most proficient in serving, and gave them tokens and carriages to enter and exit the palace gate.
Seeing that his mother's face was sad because of the withering orchid for many days, the palace maids have been waiting with trembling. In this way, it is also relaxed.
Hong Yue's face was very calm, but his heart was already boiling. Originally, two shadow guards were needed to sneak into his side and take away the news, so that he could also enter and exit the palace openly, and no one dared to stop him, but there was an extra point of safety and opportunity.
Zhao Chai spent the afternoon admiring the orchids, but he still didn't forget to ask his subordinates to investigate Gu Zi'an's death again. In the past two days, the mission was preparing to go north to Yangshang, and Gu Zi'an's stand-in was carried from getting into the carriage to getting off the carriage, motionless, happy to sleep and grow meat.
It's just that there is a faint smell on my body, and I smoke myself a little.
Zhang Lao ordered to go down and say that Gu Shizi wanted to eat fish, shrimp and clams, so he ordered someone to offer a large number of river fresh food in the car, and the whole convoy was filled with a fishy smell. The people chosen by Queen Zhao are naturally smart, and at a glance, they know that this is to cover up the smell of the dead body.
(Orchids have been sold for millions of dollars each, and many good varieties have been cultivated in Taiwan.) Don't forget to vote for a monthly pass. )
