She reluctantly got up from her seat, "I know, the concubine will go to the imperial garden to fold flowers, and after the emperor finishes the last dozens of pages of this book, the concubine will probably be able to come back." ”

Saying that, beckoning Shuya to go to the imperial garden with her, the emperor lowered his head and chuckled, but said nothing.

After she left, she said to Gao Qishou: "Take a few people to follow her, she does things lightly and seriously, and she will hurt herself later." ”

"Hey, the minion is going!"

Gao Qishou flew out like an arrow, and he could see the emperor's mind better than anyone else.

After a while, there was a woman's soft footsteps outside the hall, and the emperor's eyes fell on the page, he still had several pages to read, and he didn't want Su Youyi to come back so soon.

"So fast, shouldn't it be coaxed?"

After saying that, he looked up and saw Concubine Xian standing outside the palace gate, and his smile suddenly froze at the corner of his mouth, and it quickly smoothed out.

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and her brows suddenly frowned slightly, knowing that the emperor's words were not meant to her.

She pretended not to know, "What did the emperor say?" The concubine didn't hear clearly. ”

"Nothing."

The emperor lightly put the book aside, "Why are you here?" ”

Concubine Xian walked in with a smile and took out a jasper cup from the food box in Yi'er's hand, "The concubine saw that the peach blossoms in spring were fresh and tender, so she thought of the ancient method of making nourishing peach blossom soup in the book, so she gave it a try." If the emperor doesn't dislike the clumsiness of his concubines, let's taste it. ”

She specially sent it, and the emperor naturally had no reason to refuse, so he scooped a small bite, "Well, it tastes good." ”

The food he sent to his concubines was generally like this, and he rarely showed an attitude of liking or disliking, just faintly.

Concubine Xian couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thought about it and said, "The concubine recently found some ancient books stored in the box, and this peach blossom soup was seen in a book that records medicine. The concubine remembered that the emperor liked medical books, and the next time the concubine sent it to the emperor to see, it would be better for the emperor to point out whether the concubine's book was good or not, and it was not worth reading. ”

Before the emperor could speak, he heard the sound of brisk footsteps outside the hall.

"The concubine has come back from picking flowers, will the emperor see if he likes it?"

Su Youyi came back with a few fresh peach blossoms, laughing as she walked, and when she entered the hall and saw the people around the emperor, the smile suddenly condensed at the corner of her mouth.

She handed the peach blossom in her arms to Shuya, patted the falling flowers on her body, and then stepped forward and saluted in a proper manner, "I have seen the emperor, the virtuous concubine." ”

The atmosphere in the hall was stalemate for a moment, and Su Youyi lowered her head, looking at her nose and nose.

"Get up."

It was the emperor who opened his mouth first, and Su Youyi got up and stepped aside and sat on the small rose chair next to him.

Concubine Xian sat in the position where Su Youyi was sitting before, and smiled without noticing: "It turns out that the noble Zhao picked flowers for the emperor, it seems that the palace has come unfortunately." ”

After that, he looked at the flower branch in Shuya's hand, and his face changed.

The peach blossoms in her arms are fresh and delicate, the delicate pink is vivid, and the faces of the palace maids holding the flowers are ruddy and beautiful.

It's also a peach blossom.

Her eyes unconsciously fell on the peach blossom soup on the table, and the crumpled peach blossom petals in the small cup were lined with embarrassment compared with the vivid scene in front of her.

Su Youyi smiled politely: "Yes, the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, and the concubine picks some peach blossom branches for the emperor to insert a bottle." ”

After that, he got up and said: "Please ask the emperor and Niangniang to talk slowly, and the concubine will go to the apse and plant the peach blossoms and come back." ”

Count her as interesting.

The corners of Concubine Xian's mouth curled, thinking that Su Youyi was afraid of her, so she avoided it, and didn't want the emperor to speak: "Just insert it here, let me and Concubine Xian see your flower arrangement skills." ”

Concubine Xian secretly glanced at the emperor and couldn't help but be disappointed.

Su Youyi just felt a little embarrassed that the three of them were in the same room, she and Concubine Xian knew that they were not in harmony with the palace, and they had to reluctantly pretend to be harmonious together, she couldn't do this kind of thing.

So she offered to go to the apse to arrange flowers, not because she was afraid of Concubine Xian, but because she didn't want to face her.

Since the emperor wants her to arrange flowers here, it's okay-

Su Youyi turned back to Gao Qishou and said, "Father-in-law Lao Gao is looking for a long-necked bottle, regardless of whether it is porcelain, jade or glass, it can be plain and elegant." ”

Gao Qishou replied and retreated, the corners of Concubine Xian's mouth curled slightly, and it turned out to be a disdainful arc.

Most of the ladies in the capital have learned flower arrangement, and the pink peach blossoms are easy to insert, and it is very difficult to insert them.

If you are not careful, it will flow into the cliché, so the utensils for flower arrangement should be carefully chosen, and it is best to choose a white long-necked porcelain vase without flowers so as not to be complicated.

And Su Youyi only asked for the word plain and elegant, and when she heard it, she knew that she was a layman in flower arrangement, and she didn't know what kind of bottle Gao Qishou would bring.

Not long after, Gao Qishou personally hugged the bottle, and it turned out to be an ice-cracked celadon long-necked bottle, which met Su Youyi's requirements and was very elegant, but it was blue with pink......

Concubine Xian almost laughed out loud.

Gao Qishou looked at the emperor's expression, "Zhao Guiren, is this okay?" ”

"Yes."

Su Youyi responded happily, and then ordered Shuya to fill the bottle with water, and then insert a few peach blossoms in turn. into the bottle, and then clapped his hands to look like he was done.

Is this a flower arrangement?

Su Youyi turned her head to the emperor and smiled: "Your Majesty, look, is it good-looking?" ”

Blue with pink, flower branches are inserted in the bottle at will, such a random flower arrangement, if the emperor praises the good looks, he is afraid that outsiders will criticize him for his aesthetic curiosity.

If you want to say that it is not good-looking, I don't want to refute her face.

He looked at it carefully, and only felt that the flower branches randomly inserted in the vase had a natural ambition, and they were not so bad that they could not be miserable.

He said, "It's okay." ”

This is already the highest rating he can give.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Zhao Guiren is not a woman in the capital, and it is normal that she has not learned flower arrangement. I heard that your father was also a scholar, why didn't your mother teach you a little bit of flower arrangement? It's never going to be like this. ”

Su Youyi's bad background is a well-known thing in the palace, she doesn't care about it herself, but many people want to use this to stab her.

She had never cared, but today she couldn't help but be sharp when she heard Concubine Xian mention her parents.

"The concubine's father is just a poor teacher in the countryside, and her mother is also a country woman, so naturally she doesn't know how to arrange flowers, which makes her mother smile."

"Really?"

Concubine Xian became more and more proud, "But now that you are the emperor's concubine, you should still learn more." In the past, there was no tutor, but now I can slowly make up for it. ”

On the surface, she was talking about flower arrangement, but she was actually satirizing Su Youyi's tutor.

Su Youyi's face suddenly sank, and she glanced at Concubine Xian, who had a smug look on her face, just waiting for her to lose her temper in front of the emperor.

Su Youyi suddenly turned her head to look at the emperor, smiled and stretched out her hands, "Your Majesty, it's already very hard for the concubine to pick flowers by herself, if you think the concubine is not good-looking, wouldn't it be good to ask a palace maid to insert it?" You see, the concubine's hands are red with flower branches. ”
