The peony banquet of the Queen Mother, in addition to showing the various peonies carefully cultivated in the garden to the ladies and nobles, also invited everyone to bring a pot of peonies for appreciation.

In the verandah at the edge of the garden, along the winding corridor, a row of carved wooden shelves are arranged, and peonies brought by various noble ladies and ladies are displayed on the shelves.

The county lord of Birou asked about the peony of the Fuyuan round belt, and said with a smile: "The peony of the prince's mansion must be the best, and we will have to taste it well after a while." ”

Her beautiful eyes were light, and she turned her head to look at Fu Yuanhua: "I don't know what breed the second princess brought?" ”

"Today, I saw that Yao Huang in the house is blooming very well," Fu Yuanhua smiled lightly, "and brought it to watch and enjoy with everyone." ”

"It turned out to be Yao Huang," the county lord of Birou covered his mouth and chuckled, "I thought it was a rare variety, but what kind of peony did the second prince and concubine bring?" ”

The county lord of Birou deliberately bit the 'side concubine' very hard, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Fu Yuanqing's face froze.

The relationship between her and the county lord of Birou was stiff as early as the matter of Zhenzhuoqin, and the design of the county lord of Birou at the elite banquet made her piano break the strings, which made her miss this year's elite women's club.

And when Fu Yuanhua told her about the peony banquet yesterday, he didn't mention the peony at all!

The enemy on the back made Fu Yuanqing not know how to deal with it for a while.

Fu Yuanhua hurriedly smiled and relieved the siege: "The peony brought by the palace represents the second prince's mansion." ”

"Yo!" The county lord of Birou trembled with laughter, "I almost forgot, Yuan Hua is the main concubine of the Second Prince's Mansion, and Yuan Qing is the side concubine of the Second Prince's Mansion!" ”

"So the main concubine brought the peony, so the side concubine doesn't need to bring it?"

"Look at your sisters, they are really sisterly and enviable!"

As soon as these words came out, the ladies and ladies around them all turned their heads to look over, looked up and down at Sister Fu Yuanqing, and whispered non-stop.

"The lord of this county is curious, how do you sisters match each other now? Are you still used to it? ”

Fu Yuanqing's face became more and more condensed, and he took a deep breath and did not speak.

Fu Yuanhua, who originally wanted Fu Yuanqing to be laughed at, never thought that it would become a joke in the eyes of everyone.

She frowned, pursed her lips and said, "The county lord of Birou cares so much about our Second Prince's Mansion, and this palace is very grateful to him. ”

The county lord of Birou pursed his lips, feeling bored.

At this time, the eunuch and the maid had already arranged the verandah, and came to beckon the noble ladies and ladies in the garden to come and admire.

Fu Yuanyuan twisted his face and glanced at the Fu Yuanqing sisters who had been brought by the maidservant to change their clothes, and went to the verandah to see the peony with Tong Lu and Chang Xishu.

The peonies brought by everyone are naturally carefully selected, and the varieties and colors are not inferior to those in the garden.

For a while, the voices of admiring the peony and competing for praise were everywhere.

Tong Lu listened to Fu Yuanyuan's talk about the way of peony, and pulled her to ask long and short questions.

"Actually, I used to live in Yangluo City, the hometown of peonies, for a period of time, and I met some peony flower masters, so I just understood a little."

Fu Yuanyuan didn't hide his selfishness, and explained the reason after explaining.

In fact, in Yangluo City, she bought several peony manors, raised a group of peony florists, cultivated and grafted fine peonies, and then sold them to Daqing State, which is a very good business.

It is said that my uncle has recently opened up passages to several surrounding countries, and there are countless orders for flowers.

Well, that's a long way off.

"Crown Princess Niangniang," the voice of the county lord Birou interrupted the conversation between Fu Yuanyuan and the others, and she walked over with a smile, "This is my sister-in-law, the county lord Biqing. ”

Fu Yuanyuan was slightly stunned and looked at the scarlet-clothed woman behind the county lord of Birou.

The corners of the county lord of Biqing hooked slightly, and he and Fu Yuanyuan greeted each other.

"The crown princess looks very kind."

Fu Yuanyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, that day when he was singing about wine, the county lord of Biqing designed to humiliate Chang Yide in public, she and Qin Ze opened their mouths to help each other in the private room on the second floor, how could the county lord of Biqing not see her?

Even though she couldn't see clearly because of the light, after all, she was standing beside Qin Ze, how could she not know?

"We've met once when we sang about wine," Fu Yuanyuan said bluntly, "Don't you remember the county lord of Biqing?" ”

The county lord of Biqing looked stunned and said with a smile: "The county lord has always been forgetful, and I ask the princess not to be surprised." ”

"Not really."

"I just heard that the crown princess has a lot of opinions on peonies, and the county lord recently got a pot of peonies, which is very precious," Biqing county lord said, "I made a special trip today for everyone to taste." I wonder if the crown princess is interested in going and seeing it together? ”

"Please."

Noncommittal to the invitation of the county lord of Biqing, Fu Yuanyuan and the three of them followed behind and walked slowly.

Many ladies and ladies on the side whispered.

The reputation of the county lord of Biqing in the circle of noblewomen is not good, and after killing her husband, she returned to the eldest princess's mansion and raised her face in captivity, which is simply a shame for the upper-class noblewoman.

It's just that because of the face of the queen mother and the eldest princess, I don't dare to comment on it.

Who doesn't have disdain and respect in their hearts?

The county lord of Biqing thought that he also clearly understood that he had rarely attended the banquet in recent years, but somehow he came to the peony banquet today.

"The color of this pot of peonies that the county lord occasionally gets," the county lord of Biqing introduced slowly, "It is pink, purple, yellow and white, and its name is Qin Chu." I wonder if the crown princess has ever heard of this kind of peony? ”

Fu Yuanyuan shook his head: "I've never heard of it." ”

Between the words, a servant girl suddenly stepped forward, squatted down and said, "Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess invites Miss Tong and Miss Chang to come over and discuss something." ”

Tong Lu and Chang Xishu bowed their heads, nodded with Fu Yuanyuan, and said, "Yuanyuan, the two of us will come when we go." ”

The county lord of Biqing took Fu Yuanyuan and walked towards the octagonal pavilion at the innermost part of the verandah: "Qin Chuchen is in the pavilion, go this way." ”

After a short time, the two arrived at the Octagonal Pavilion.

There are four pots of peonies in the octagonal pavilion, all of which are rare varieties, with brilliant flowers and graceful and luxurious.

"This pot is Qin Chu," the county lord of Biqing stood still in front of the carved wooden frame in the middle, and beckoned to Fu Yuanyuan, "The crown princess is coming over and have a look?" ”

Because most of the ladies and ladies were looking at the flowers in the verandah, there were only three or two people in the octagonal pavilion.

Fu Yuanyuan walked over and set his eyes on the peony pointed by the county lord of Biqing.

It is indeed a rare variety, Fu Yuanyuan is quite interested in peonies, and the probe looks at it carefully.

Lord Biqing and Fu Yuanyuan stood side by side in front of Qin Chu, and the corners of their mouths suddenly hooked up a strange arc.

It was too late, and the people around him suddenly heard a loud bang, accompanied by a 'Ah! 's screams, all in unison when they looked past—

But I saw that the pot of Qin Chu peony had already fallen to the ground, and the person who was almost smashed happened to be the county lord of Biqing who shouted loudly.

She described falling to the ground in embarrassment, and the fallen peony landed right in front of her, almost hitting her.

And Fu Yuanyuan has jumped half a foot away.

The incident happened suddenly, and her instinct was to protect herself and avoid it.

The county lord of Biqing screamed: "That is the queen mother's favorite peony, why did the crown princess push down the peony and almost hit the county lord?" ”
