”This servant doesn't recognize you.” Xi Tao said, ”It's just that An Sun has the essence of a monkey, bringing it with you just like a flower bud, with a face full of pride, wanting to see a big flower for yourself.”
Wang Rong's hand that was about to touch the flower bud stopped in mid-air, her expression changing several times. Now that the flower had been delivered to her, if she didn't turn back, who knows if she would be in a stroke again? Look at this vase, you're the only one with sharp eyes that picked the same vase.
Wang Rong turned her head and took out the crabapple and peach blossoms in the bottle on her table, leaving only a dead branch inside and gave the vase to Xi Tao, ”Here, go and report this to An De.”
Wang Rong, who was in a good mood, inserted the Begonia peach blossoms into Yulan bottle. Afterwards, she felt that the Begonia's red color was somewhat tacky. She took a scissors and cut the stems shorter, putting the hairpin on.
Just as the Imperial Consort Candidate left the Palace, the news of His Majesty going to the Gonghou Garden was transmitted to the empress dowager's ears.
”This Imperial Consort Candidate isn't for us to choose Imperial Consort Candidate, it's for His Majesty. It's time for them to meet.” Empress Dowager Chen laughed. Three days later, at the Gonghou Garden, there will be a Spring Festival. The Imperial Consort Candidate will produce five or six programs, and show off their talents in front of His Majesty. ”
”This is not compatible with etiquette.” Empress Dowager Li said. It would be better to ascend to the main hall of the Palace and have the Imperial Consort Candidate pay her respects to her majesty. ”
”How boring it is for his Majesty to appear in the end as a talent like this.” The Empress Dowager Chen said.
”His Majesty the Emperor has arrived.” The eunuch at the door sang.
Zhu Yijun walked in and greeted the Empress Dowager Chen with clasped hands and bowed, ”Greetings to Imperial Mother.” ”He cupped his hands towards the Empress Dowager Li. To the Mother of God. ”
”Quick, sit.” Empress Dowager Chen said, ”This Dowager was just discussing with you, mother, and said that it was also the time for you to meet with him. This Dowager wanted to organize a Spring Festival Banquet, and this day's banquet at Gonghou Garden would be extremely suitable. Your mother means to ascend to a seat at Jing Ren Palace and meet your Imperial Consort Candidate once. What does Your Majesty think? ”
Zhu Yijun said, ”If mother wants Imperial Consort Candidate to show her talents and solve the boredom, then let's have a lively Spring Festival. After the banquet, we will go to Jing Ren Palace to see the Imperial Consort Candidate. This time it will be earlier, if there are people who are unsuitable, we will release the palace, and do not delay the blossoming of the flower. ”
”The Emperor has always done things so properly.” The Empress Dowager Chen said to the Empress Dowager Li with a smile, ”Little sister, do you agree?”
”In that case, let's do as His Majesty says.” The Empress Dowager Li said.
With the decision made by the Ci Ning Palace, the Palace Manager Bureau had to organize the event in secret. As for the main highlight of the competition, the talent show on the Imperial Consort Candidate, Palace Manager Cui had personally gone to notify them of the arrival of the Chuxiu Palace.
When Zhu Yijun returned to the Qianqing Palace, the Feng Shang carried his green nameplate, ”Your Majesty, which esteemed lady will you call to sleep with today?”
”Imperial Lower Consort Guo.” Zhu Yijun did not even look at the few green tags on the plate and said. Feng Shang revealed a smile and took it down.
As Zhang Cheng served the new tea, he realized that there was a dried up branch inside a small round bottle at an unremarkable location, ”What's that?”
”Your Imperial Majesty, that was Yulan's return gift.” Zhang Cheng replied embarrassedly. His Majesty only said that he wanted the flowers, and did not say that he wanted to return the gesture. However, he thought that it was only because His Majesty saw that Miss Wang was arranging flowers that he remembered that he was going to send Yulan over. If there was a response, His Majesty would definitely be happy, and that was why His Majesty hinted that his Majesty wanted to bring back another finished product of Miss Wang. But now that the greeting had come back, Zhang Cheng really wanted to slap himself for talking too much.
All in all, not counting the Miss Wang, he really had a reckless temperament. Now that the greeting has arrived, although it is improper, if you don't place it on display and Her Majesty and the Miss Wang reveal it when they meet again, this meeting will definitely not be able to escape.
Zhang Cheng sighed and found an inconspicuous place in the cubicle to place down, and only hoped that the Emperor would not see it.
”Take it and look at it.” Zhu Yijun said. What was there to see? There was a white jar with a dead branch stuck in it. It was very clear that there was nothing unusual about it, and there was something about the dead branch. Zhang Cheng was very careful, afraid that his Majesty would be angry. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun laughed.
”From the looks of it, she seems to know quite a bit. It turns out she's only at this level. What a pity that I have a Precious Flower Yulan.”
”During this Spring Festival Gala, Imperial Consort Candidate will be the one to show her talent. If she really doesn't know anything, then she can just go up and write a few words. ”Otherwise, how could we have passed at the empress dowager's place?” Zhu Yijun said.
”Miss Wang doesn't look like an idiot. She should have some talent too.” Zhang Cheng smiled and said.
”You can't be too precise with your actions.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Seeing her using scissors to cut flowers today, you might have guessed that she doesn't know anything about flowers.”
Zhang Cheng laughed yes, but he was bitter in his heart. My majesty, you didn't expect that it wasn't that the Miss Wang didn't know how to flowers, it was just that she purposely took out a dried up branch to fool you. ”Then your majesty, let me take this off.
”No need, leave it here.” Zhu Yijun said, ”I can vaguely see that West Palace Begonia with Chuxiu Palace is opening extremely well, go cut two for me and put in here.”
When the ladies of Chuxiu Palace heard that they would be able to meet His Majesty in three days at the Gonghou Garden, they were elated. Aunt Cui said, ”The ladies can discuss about it themselves, so there's no need for too many of them. It's better if there's four or five of them.
”Four or five is the best. Then, is it four or five?” Zhou Yuting asked.
”Ladies, prepare your talent first. Before the Spring Festival, I will come to examine it together with the mama of the Tzu Ning Palace. If there's anything that's inappropriate, it cannot be displayed at the Spring Festival.” said Aunt Cui. ” The young ladies can also prepare some talent. If the Esteemed Empress Dowager or the Emperor were interested, it's possible for them to display it on their own. ”
