Chapter 23: Competing for Beauty
Previously, there was something in the prison, the county lord of Xiangning went to visit Chu Hui, and he was a suspect with a big temper and did not accept visits. The guards of the heavenly prison have always been tough, and Xiang Ning was blocked by the guards all the time.
She wanted to do something for Chu Hui, whether it was to make up or redeem it, or to say that she had something else to think about, so she proposed to hold a flower-viewing party, mainly inviting the queen and the four princes to come.
Dark Xiang was upset for the county lord: "County lord, since King Qi doesn't accept your kindness, forget it, we don't need to please him, and besides, he can't protect himself now, what do you care about such idle things." ”
Su Ziyu said: "What do you know, I misunderstood Brother Chu Yu before, can I regret it now?" She rolled her eyes, and then said to Dark Xiang: "You send someone to pay attention to the wonderful wind, don't let her sabotage me, I really don't believe that Brother Chu Hui will really like her, and the relationship is just for the stability of the political situation, how can we have a deep relationship that we grew up with." ”
Dark Fragrance listened to the instructions, "Yes, what do you say, Miss, Dark Fragrance will do what you do." ”
Su Ziyu held a small pair of scissors in her hand, looked at a pot of white orchids, gently cut off the excess dead branches, and said: "The gentleman's orchid I carefully cultivated will definitely shine at the flower viewing party tomorrow." ”
The orchid is graceful, faint and fragrant, and the dark fragrance admires Miss's patience and love for flowers from the bottom of her heart, "It is said that the hollow valley orchid, Miss is really like this orchid, good-looking, and noble." ”
But the young lady said: "You only know the surface, this orchid is delicate, it can't be bumped, otherwise it won't bloom, and it is extremely difficult to grow one." ”
The girl dark fragrance can speak: "The emperor lives up to his heart, and the flowers will also be touched by the young lady's caring heart, and I believe that people will too." ”
Su Ziyu smiled, her eyes froze and thought of going elsewhere, and she sighed with a pun: "Hope." ”
At this time, everyone is required to bring a pot of flowers to enter, and there is good tea and wine to entertain them, discuss the experience of raising flowers, watch the beauty and joy together, write poems, and cultivate sentiment.
In autumn, only the orchid and chrysanthemum compete for the most enthusiastic. In addition, there are peonies and moon seasons, lilies, osmanthus and so on, and there are many categories.
The grass is green, and Sijun is in the west. The leaves are dewed, as if they want to cry to people.
In the Ten Thousand Gardens, there are many people who take out their own orchids to compare who blooms better and has more charm.
This family said that my Mo Lan is bright in color, purple and red, and deserves to be the first gentleman among the flowers.
The family said, "Yours is too strong and bright, and it is not as graceful as my yellow lily, which symbolizes glory, wealth, holiness and happiness."
The rich ladies are all competing for comparison, and Miao Zhifeng brought a pot of flowers from the other side, also known as Manzhu Sahua, holding a small pot of red flowers to swagger through the market. Everyone looked at each other, a little puzzled, doesn't this guy understand flowers, how to choose such a strange flower?
The other side of the flower, the tenderness of the devil. There is a legend that this is a flower that was voluntarily thrown into hell, and was sent back by the demons, but still wandering on the Yellow Spring Road, and the demons could not bear it, so they agreed to let her open on this road, giving guidance and comfort to the souls who have left the human world.
The snow-white and blood-red flowers of the other side together represent death. It is rumored that the mandala blooms on the path of heaven, and the manju sawa is spread on the path of hell. The same represents death, but one prefers another interpretation of death: rebirth, and the other prefers to the wandering and wandering of pain and remorse: depravity. Therefore, there is only a thin line between hell and heaven. The so-called difference between angels and demons is nothing more than the meaning of color and carrying.
This flower was bought by Miao Zhifeng in the flower market for five taels of silver, purely because I thought it was unique and beautiful, and I didn't think too much about it, and I didn't have much research on this flower.
Yelu Wuxian is even more so, he moved a pot of calendula, put it on the viewing platform simply and rudely, and went around.
Qingli entered the garden with a plate of osmanthus cake, stuffed it into his mouth, his mouth bulged like a hamster, and from time to time he asked Miao Zhifeng if she wanted to eat, Zhifeng let her eat slowly, calling the name of Yelu Wuxian, but he stuck into the pile, and looked at it, King Sheng and Queen were in the middle of the crowd, and the stars were holding the moon.
Surrounded by warblers and swallows, dressed up in flowers, people are more delicate than flowers, and the flowers are eclipsed next to them, they all want to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of the queen, and then the purpose of the flower viewing party is really revealed.
Miao Zhifeng bumped Yelu Wuxian's arm and whispered: "Hey, wild donkey, do you look at the guard Ying Ge next to King Sheng, does he look like a martial arts master who can throw silver needles with his bare hands?" ”
Yelu Wuxian looked at it seriously, and said to himself: "That Yingge is tall and thin, with a serious face and expressionless face, it is quite similar. After he finished speaking, he reacted, and said viciously to the fierce god of Miaozhifeng: "Hey, it's not Miaozhifeng, who do you call a wild donkey?" ”
"You're not a rough person, don't worry about these details." Zhifeng took a piece of osmanthus cake from the hedge plate and plugged his mouth.
On this occasion, I invited a lot of princes and nobles to the sons and young ladies of the princess, called the flower viewing party, in fact, it is not the flower, but the name of the flower, and the beauty that looks as beautiful as the "flower", the blind date will be almost the same.
Miao Zhifeng wanted to go over and take a look at the queen, but a crisp voice came from behind him, "Princess Qi is also here, I wonder if you are okay recently?" ”
When she looked back, it was Su Ziyu calling her, so she replied perfunctorily: "Thanks to the blessing of the county lord, I'm fine." ”
Yelu Wuxian, a rough man, could see that Zhifeng's face was not good, he stood up in front of him, and his younger brother stood guard for his sister, he had a handsome face, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a pointed chin, a resolute side face, and a heroic spirit.
When Su Ziyu saw him like this, she immediately breathed tightly, and when she calmed down a little, she said, "I don't know that the Khitan crown prince is also here, Xiangning is polite." ”
Yelu Wuxian didn't have a good impression of this Xiangning county lord, so he didn't look at her very seriously, but he just hummed, and the old hen guarded the cub like a Miao Zhifeng behind him, Zhifeng felt that this child was a little cute, as for being so cautious, he pushed him to the side.
Su Ziyu seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness of the last time, and generously invited Miao Zhifeng to write poems and write inscriptions for flowers, Miao Zhifeng was pulled by her, and she couldn't shirk it if she wanted to, so she had to reluctantly agree.
A table was placed in the center of the flowers, with all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and everyone gathered around to see the excitement, and Su Ziyu took the lead in writing.
The pen and ink are flying, vigorous and powerful, and they are completed in one go: "The breath is like an orchid and does not change, and the heart is like an orchid and never changes" The two lines of words are reflected on the rice paper. Su Ziyu wrote well, and everyone applauded.
"With a little ink, Ziyu is ugly." Su Ziyu's eyebrows fluttered, her expression was delighted, she handed the brush to Zhifeng with both hands, and said to everyone: "Next, Princess Qi will show us a hand, do you want to observe?" ”
Everyone doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, they are excited, you say a word to me.
"That's the best!"
"Princess Qi, come on, why not try."
"Princess Qi, please!" Su Ziyu kept urging to stop the wind and take the pen.
Zhifeng no longer shirked, and simply answered: "Since you want to see it, then I will be disrespectful." ”
