In winter and October, the people of Fanglin Yuan Palace came to report that the gardenia became a tree, and its petals came out in six, red like a flame, and fragrant like a plum.

At that time, Bao Yuan was chatting with me in the Changchun Palace, and after hearing the report, he was very happy, and said to me again and again: "Rui'er, you are pregnant, and now even the red gardenia has come to report the good news, it seems that our child is a blessing from heaven, and there will be such a good omen." ”

When I heard him say this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed in my heart, and I remembered that last year, Qingcheng Mountain offered three red gardenias. At that time, I was still curious, the gardenia tree has always only bloomed white flowers, this red gardenia has never been seen, I don't know if it is true, so together with Bao Yuan, the flowers were planted in the Hong Lin Garden, and now the red flowers are really blooming.

This red gardenia, rare in the world, and blooming at such a pleasing time, has naturally become a treasure in the imperial garden, and it is also a strange news in the palace. Therefore, Bao Yuan decided to summon hundreds of officials and relatives to enjoy the red gardenia in Fanglin Garden.

It is said that this Fanglin Garden is located at the foot of Shengxian Mountain (Phoenix Mountain) on the outskirts of Chengdu. Shengxian Mountain is surrounded by the jade belt of the Phoenix River, flowing slowly, and the Fanglin Garden built on the Phoenix River has been opened since the time of Gaozu, when there were only two imperial gardens of Fanglin Garden and Peach Blossom Forest. In recent years, Baoyuan has newly opened up the hibiscus Zhu and osmanthus ponds, and now it is called the four royal gardens of Shu Palace.

On the right day, it is the day when the red gardenia banquet is placed in the Fanglin Garden to entertain hundreds of officials.

Early, I followed the queen mother and other harem concubines to the Fanglin Garden, the queen mother because I was pregnant, especially took me with her, and even took the red brocade strip for me to tie to the flower branch, in order to reward the flower god. I was really flattered by such a grace and favor.

The three red gardenias that bloom in the winter bloom like a brocade of flowers, and the branches are adorned with red and gorgeous, and the fairy posture is outstanding.

When I was full of gratitude and carefully knotted the red brocade on the red gardenia tree, I suddenly remembered that Taihua had said that the Hundred Flowers Fairy had ordered her to take care of the gardenias. I sighed in my heart, I don't know if the red gardenia blooming in Fang Lin Garden is a congratulatory gift she sent when she knew that I was pregnant and her wish was fulfilled.

Gently touching the delicate flowers, the intoxicating and refreshing fragrance at the snort made me more convinced that Hongchen has love, which must be Taihua's intention.

Sister Taihua, thank you for giving Dashu such a beautiful strange flower, thank you for your generosity and fulfillment, so that I can live with Baoyuan again, I don't know how you will return to life with the fairy? Is it difficult?

I felt in my heart, my throat was a little choked, and when I turned around and saw Xuan Zhe, I beckoned him to come to the flower.

"Sheng'er, you thank the flower god on behalf of your mother, okay?"

Xuan Zhe was well-behaved, and fell down to worship according to his words.

Looking at the red gardenias gently swaying in the wind, I silently said in my heart: "Sister Taihua, you see, Sheng'er has grown up, don't worry, I will definitely treat him as if he was out and take care of him wholeheartedly." ”

Xuan Zhe got up and said to me puzzled: "The mother concubine asked me to worship the god of flowers, isn't it the origin of this red gardenia?" ”

It was inconvenient to say more, so I only smiled and said: "Sheng'er can know that your mother is as dusty as this red gardenia, and the cold fragrance is like a plum." ”

"Well, I heard the old palace people in the palace say that my mother is a stunning beauty, but I can't remember it myself." As he spoke, he lowered his head and felt a little sad.

I caressed him lovingly, and said, "Holy Mother, entrust you to me, and from now on you will be my own child." ”

Hearing me say this, Xuan Zhe showed a happy smile on his face and said, "I heard that the mother concubine looks very similar to my mother, so when she sees the mother concubine, Sheng'er thinks that her mother is by her side." ”

I smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder, looked at the red mast, and silently made a wish in my heart that I would do my best to keep Xuan Zhe safe and help him achieve a career. I only hope that Sister Taihua will have a spirit in the sky, bless my child to be born safely, and Xuanzhe will be healthy and auspicious.

On the same day, after the banquet, Bao Yuan painted several red gardenia pictures with Huang Jubao, the son of Huang Quan.

Bao Yuan also painted red gardenia for me on the fan.

When Ming'er saw it, she loved it in her heart, so she painted the red gardenia pattern and embroidered it on the brocade and made a red gardenia for me.

This is exactly what it is: for the red gardenia pattern, the fan embroidered robe.

The palace people cherish the red gardenia like a treasure, and they also follow the example of my Luo skirt and make gardenia uterine skirts one after another. Because he did not dare to trespass, the color was mostly pink, and only the red gardenia pattern was taken.

As a result, gardenia skirts, gardenia sachets, and fan pendants can be seen everywhere in the palace.

After listening to Xin Ning's words, the red gardenia pattern in the palace spread to the people, and the women's fans, skirts, hairpins and other ornaments in Luocheng were all like red gardenia for a while. The merchant has a unique vision, abandons the golden and phoenix hairpins, and cuts the silk goose feathers like red gardenias, and sells them as hairpin ornaments, but does not want to cause a boom, and the women in Luo Cheng almost have a hand, hairpins in the bun, which is beautiful and accustomed to becoming a trend.

When Xinning came to visit me in the palace, she also brought a box of 12-branch red gardenia hairpins. Jingyi and Jinyan happened to be at my place, so I took it and gave it to the two of them, Jingyi took the hairpin in her hand, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hua Rui is the leader of my Dashu Kingdom, first there is a hundred butterfly skirts, and then there are snow fragrance fans, and now this red gardenia skirt is also popular with everyone." ”

Jin Yan smiled at Xinning at the interface: "Mrs. Ling has a lot of businesses in her family, in my opinion, you can open more makeup shops, and in the future, as long as you have a while, you will let Rui'er get something new, and say to the outside world, 'This is Mrs. Hua Rui's'." In this way, why worry about business is not good......" said it, and Jingyi covered his mouth and smiled.

Xinning clapped her hands and smiled: "Su Niangniang's idea is really good, I will discuss it with my husband when I go back." ”

Knowing that they made fun of me together, I also said to Xin Ning: "Sister will do this when she goes back, but I have to draw some lottery money after making money, and I can't let you use my name for nothing." ”

Speaking of this, he rolled his eyes, pointed at Jingyi and Jinyan, and said: "Sister, don't forget, when you send the color head, you have to pay tribute to Han Niangniang and Su Niangniang, thank them for such a calculation for you." Lest people say that my sister doesn't know the general situation, and the fertilizer and water only flow into her own fields, so that the family spends their thoughts in vain! ”

"Huh...... Hehe...... Look, now I'm going to be a mother, and my mouth is still so tricky. Jin Yan pointed at me and smiled.

Jingyi twisted my face and sighed: "This person is really lovely, and it's not annoying." Speaking of which, it has become our partnership to make money in her name. ”

I smiled and didn't go to the interface. Everyone sat and laughed and then dispersed.

When Bao Yuan came in the evening, he actually joked with me about this matter, and said: "It would be a good thing to enrich the treasury with this." ”

When I heard this, I also smiled and said that I wanted to draw a lottery, and Bao Yuan laughed and said that I should not be surnamed Xu, but should be changed to Qian.

In the end, the joke was told to the Queen Mother, and everyone joked with me for a while, which made me a little confused. But the heart is a little warm, home, it should be like this!
