Chapter 49: Don't Confess to Yourself

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrivedβ€”" The chamberlain shouted at a high voice.

The eyes of the people in the main hall followed the figures of Fu Lingyi and Ning Su, and it was not until the two of them sat down that they walked to the center of the main hall and knelt down to salute.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, queen mother, thousand years old thousand years old."

Fu Lingyi and the queen sat down, raised their hands and said, "Flat." ”

"Your Majesty."

Qi Xiaoyu stood up tremblingly, glanced at Fu Lingyi carefully, and saw that Fu Lingyi's face was as usual and quickly lowered his head.

"Today's flower-viewing banquet was proposed by the queen, so the queen will preside over it."

"Yes." Ning Suhan said with a smile, "Then let's go straight to the point and start showing the flowers that everyone brought." ”

"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ€”"

As soon as they sat down, they stood up again.

"See the Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose."

The Queen Mother said lightly: "Flat." ”

Walking to Fu Lingyi's side, Fu Lingyi and Ning Su said: "The son (concubine) has seen the queen mother. ”

"It's late for the mourning family, the queen doesn't mind, right?"

Ning Suwan'er, "Where is the queen mother, the queen mother is willing to show her face, and the concubine is too late to be happy." ”

"The mourning family thinks about it, it's not interesting to stay in the house all the time, and it's not bad to come out and see the flowers competing for beauty." With that, her eyes swept down.

"The mother was just in time to show off the flowers they brought."

"Let's get started."

Seeing the Queen Mother sit down, the Queen also sat down.

"Let's take the seats and start with the last one by one."

About 30 or 40 families were invited to attend the flower viewing feast, and one or two people from each family came out to show.

But not everyone can get their hands on famous flowers, and many people just come to go through the motions and retreat after a few casual words.

The further you go, the more noble the flower becomes.

When it was Qi Xiaoyu's turn, she wanted to retreat a little bit, and wanted Mrs. Zhongyi to show it on her behalf.

But the previous ones were all young women, and Mrs. Zhongyibo went out too specially.

At the urging of Mrs. Zhongyibo, Qi Xiaoyu stubbornly took the flowers she had prepared and stood in the center of the hall.

She attaches great importance to the flower viewing banquet, because the concubine is disappointed in her and is unwilling to help her, and the chance of marrying Fu Matsu last is slim.

She can only rely on the banquets to show her edge, if she can get the favor of any lady, or the queen's love, it is easier to say that she is married.

So she went out of her way to find a pot of hibiscus.

Hibiscus originally grew up in the south, and it took her many inquiries to find a flower farmer to buy the flowers.

It is not precious, because the color of the flower is delicate like fire, and it is open all year round, and I want to bless the feelings of the emperor and queen.

But after hearing the secret, she didn't dare to say a word of these opportunistic words, let alone show herself to attract the attention of the ladies of the family, so she just introduced the flowers and then retreated.

Because of the complicated relationship between Ning Zhi and her family, the flowers she prepared were decent, and she was not in a hurry to please her, and she was not perfunctory.

On the other hand, Fu Lingyi's faction, the British Duke, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the girls in the Mansion of the Ministry of Officials are giving face and collecting all kinds of strange flowers.

Then, there are the royal families.

After Princess Qi Ning Wan showed her carefully maintained lilies, Jiang Yuhuan walked to the center of the hall with her pot of silver flowers.

"The courtiers didn't know much about flowers, and they didn't know what was good and what was bad, so they found a pot of flowers that would never wither."

There were people in the main hall who exchanged heads.

"And the flowers that never wither?"

"It can't be a fake flower carved from jade, right?"

"No, if you look at the outline under the red cloth, if it is really carved in jade, how big of jade must be used."

Ning Su was afraid that everyone's words would be unpleasant, so he intercepted the words, "Princess Jun, you are all very curious, let's hurry up and show everyone." ”

Jiang Yuhuan nodded, and then lifted the red cloth.

As soon as the red cloth was lifted, everyone stared intently at the flower pot, but their eyes were flashed by speckled light.

"What's that, how can it still glow?"

Some people have seen it clearly, and immediately laughed, "It turned out to be a fake flower made of silver, what is the difference between this and the flower on the jewelry, and it is easy to take it out and be embarrassed." ”

Jiang Yuhuan turned his head to look and saw that it was the county lord of Shunning, and immediately smiled, "The words of the county lord of Shunning really offended most people to death." ”

The lord of Shunning County is angry, and he usually speaks with no one in his eyes, but now he is naturally unhappy when he is scolded by Jiang Yuhuan.

"Where have I offended others!"

"Today's flower viewing banquet, most of the flowers are transplanted from the mountains and then bred, according to the meaning of the county lord of Shunning, what is the difference between their flowers and the flowers in the mountains? Is it also embarrassing? ”

The county lord of Shunning said that she was perfunctory, she didn't follow, she was high-level!

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Yuhuan was calm, but it made the county lord of Shunning a little childish, and she said unhurriedly: "The flowers on the jewelry are also carefully made by craftsmen, and the county lord of Shunning will not wear them in the future." ”

"You!" Shun Ning stood up suddenly, the table in front of her toppling over at her movements.

Her biological mother died young, and King Qichuan married a step-concubine soon after.

The temper of the county lord of Shunning has become a little bit worse since then, and he has become unrelenting and empty-eyed.

This time to participate in the flower-viewing banquet, it was Princess Qichuan who came.

Princess Qichuan has a weak temperament, she silently cooperated with the palace maid to hold up the table, but she didn't dare to stop Shunning significantly.

"The treasures in the flowers are precious, because there are few and need people to spend a lot of effort to cultivate and care, the flowers I prepare are also made by people little by little, it is beautifully made, it also takes effort, and the world is rare, should not be belittled. What's more, this is not a simple pot of honeysuckle. ”

The county lord of Shunning snorted coldly, "How simple can fake flowers be, and can they bloom like real flowers?" ”

"The county lord of Shunning is well-informed, and it can really bloom."

The county lord of Shunning couldn't hear Jiang Yuhuan ridiculing her, her face was crooked in anger, and her eyes stared at the pot of flowers motionlessly.

She wanted to see how the fake flowers would bloom.

I saw Jiang Yuhuan caressing the leaves, and his expression seemed to be touching some rare object, which made the county lord of Shunning sneer.

But the next moment, the petals above the leaf shook and then spread back.

In front of everyone's eyes, the fake flowers really bloomed.

Not only is it blooming, but even the process of flowering is imitated vividly.

The crowd was amazed.

"It's really blooming!"

"You see, when the flower opens, the stamens inside are revealed."

"More than that, if you look closely, the petal shape of this other flower is different from the previous one, this is ......"

"Peony!"

"That's right, it's Peony. Although it is made of cold silver, it cannot show the gorgeous fragrance of the flower, but it will bloom just by touching the leaves, which is ingenious! ”

Jiang Yuhuan looked at Shun Ning's stunned appearance and provoked his eyebrows provocatively.

"Real flowers can bloom, what's the big deal."

Jiang Yuhuan didn't pay attention to the county lord of Shunning anymore, she said to the queen: "The courtiers have ordered it until now, and the remaining unbloomed flowers are left for the queen to explore." ”

Ning Su's expression of joy was overflowing, "The princess of the county means ......"

"If the courtiers want to give this flower to the queen's mother, they should be opportunistic and apologetic."

The princess of the county laughed, how can this be regarded as opportunistic, if it weren't for the princess of the county, how could we be eye-opening. I really like this flower palace, and the princess of the county has a heart. ”

"If you like it, it's fine."

Tamei stepped forward to take the silver flower from Jiang Yuhuan's hand, and Jiang Yuhuan returned to his seat.

When I went back, I saw Fu Ying last sitting in his seat, and I don't know when he appeared, but he was silent, and Fu Lingyi didn't specifically mention it.

She sat down in silence.

The flower viewing came to an end, and under the order of the queen, the palace maids began to serve the food.

At this time, the Queen Mother said loudly: "The mourning family also likes to serve flowers and grass on weekdays, and today I am very happy to see the strange flowers you brought." It is said that flowers can show a person's character, and the mourning family also thinks so. Some of the mourners like it very much, which also proves that the mourners are not looking at the wrong person. The mourning family wants to announce something here, Queen, don't mind, right? ”

Ning Su's heart jumped, and the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched violently.

The Queen Mother's words...... Is that what she wants?

"Don't mind."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "You don't know, today's flower-viewing banquet has another meaning. The queen is virtuous and virtuous, and wants to use the flower banquet to choose a concubine for the emperor, and invite the mourning family to check it. Seeing the flowers displayed by you, the mourning family has already chosen someone in their hearts, Gong Nei, announce the decree. ”

Immediately, I saw Gong Nei standing in the center of the hall with Ming Huang Yizhi in his hand, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother has a will-"

The people got up and went to the center and knelt down.

Gong Neishou unfolded his edict and read, "...... Feng Shuyuan of Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, Qi Xiaoyu of Zhongyi Bofu, He Yi of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, Shangguan Yao, daughter of Honglu Temple, Yang Yu of Guozi Priest's Liquor Mansion, Gu Jia, daughter of Guanglu Temple Temple, Roujia Shushun, Yonghe Cuichun, immediately canonized Feng Shuyuan as a concubine and gave her residence in Chunfang Palace; Qi Xiaoyu is a pure concubine and lives in Shunhua Palace; He Yi is a concubine and lives in Guangle Palace; Yang Yu, Shangguan Yao, Gu Jia are Zhaoyi, and they live in Jing'an Palace. ”

As soon as Yi Zhi came out, everyone present was stunned, and even Fu Lingyi didn't react with his mouth open.

Everyone knows the love of the emperor and queen, and a few days ago, Fu Lingyi was furious in the early dynasty and scolded the officials and concubines.

It's not that no one asks for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother has no intention of interfering in the emperor's harem.

As soon as the draft was mentioned, the queen mother didn't care, and the emperor was disgusted, so everyone put this matter aside for the time being, planning to wait for the emperor's freshness to the queen to pass, or to persuade the queen on the grounds that she failed to give birth to a dragon heir.

How do you know that the peak turns around, and the Queen Mother is already a blockbuster, and she directly issued an order to canonize her, which caught people off guard.

Those who want to arrange for the women of the family to enter the palace are annoyed that they don't know the news in time, and they don't have time to pave the way, and those who don't want to enter the palace are so panicked that they can't do it, there are one and two, who knows if they will be next.

They have already begun to think about which families in the capital can match them and make a marriage as soon as possible.

But compared to these, the few people named by Yi Zhi were panicked.

The few people who were canonized, except for Feng Shuyuan from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and He Yi from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, the remaining four were all people who were caught by the Queen Mother and eavesdropping on secrets.

What the Queen Mother meant by this, their mothers may not have figured it out, but they know it.

Several people bowed their heads to the ground, their backs trembled, and beads of sweat on their faces were shaken to the ground.

Also frightened was Ning Zhi.

Now she is bright, and she didn't stupidly think that the Queen Mother let her go before she was canonized.

Her cousin was the queen, her sister was the princess, and her mother had told her more than once that her husband could no longer pick on those who held power.

The Queen Mother didn't canonize her, but she knew the secret, and she was more dangerous than the few who were put under her nose to watch!

Her hands and feet were weak, and her whole body was prostrate on the ground and looked extraordinarily religious.

Mrs. Ning Guogong thought about the Queen Mother's intentions in her heart, and did not notice Ning Zhi's strange appearance.

"Still not grateful?"

Gong Neishou waited for a long time, but no one spoke, he didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother's face, and only reminded everyone in a low voice.

Several people who were canonized and their families kowtowed one after another to thank him.

"Get up. When Qin Tian calculates the good days, he will be canonized again. ”

"Queen Mother...... Fu Lingyi finally reacted and looked over with a frown.

The Queen Mother saw that he looked reluctant, and remembered the conversation she had heard before, and the fire in her heart couldn't be suppressed.

A sharp look swept over, and Fu Lingyi instantly shut up.

Everyone stood up, returned to their seats, and as soon as they sat down, they heard the Queen Mother say: "Recently, I heard about a case of rape by a woman, and the mourning family was heartbroken. The mourning family is a model for women in the world, if you can't give the woman justice, what face does she have to sit in this position. Come to the people, spread Shun Tianfu Yin and Dali Temple Shaoqing. ”

Mrs. Ning Guogong's heart suddenly lifted, and she sat nervously, not knowing for a while whether to go out and confess.

In case what the Queen Mother said is not the right one, wouldn't she go out by herself and confess herself?
