Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred and eighty-eight Luoyang Peony

Since His Majesty’s expedition, during the three court meetings in Luoyang, Li Hong went to Zhenguan Hall to meet Wu Mei every time he went to court, but Wu Mei did not even ask about the affairs of the court. ? W ㈧ WW. 81ZW. ＣＯＭ

In the past few days, I have summoned a Luoyang gardener every day and ran to the Luoyang Palace two or three times a day. Li Hong was a little baffled. How could a little gardener make Long Ma so concerned.

Sitting in the Zhenguan Hall and teasing Li Dan and Li Lingyue, the little fat man Li Dan has been very effective in losing weight recently. He has lost a lot of weight. He looks a little more clever, and lacks the honesty of being bullied by Li Lingyue. But his experience is still the same, he has been bullied by Li Lingyue.

"The slave servant has seen the Prince, and the Princess, and told the Princess that the gardener Song Dan has gone to the back garden and is introducing the replanted peony flower from Chang'an to the queen, asking you Do you want to go there." The court lady said obediently.

"Peony?" Li Hong was stunned. Luoyang Peony is indeed number one in the world, but at this time, the popularity of peony is still in Chang'an.

At least in the Tang Dynasty, the peony has always been popular in Chang'an. Although the soil of Chang'an is more suitable for peony than that of Luoyang, when people talk about peony, they will naturally talk about Chang'an peony. .

"Yeah...hurry up and go, go see Peony." Li Lingyue jumped off the chair excitedly, took Li Hong's big hand, and beckoned to the side Li Dan to pass.

"Brother Emperor, I'm not going anymore." Li Dan said with flickering words, not looking into Li Hong's eyes.

"What do you want to do? There is no food in Zhenguan Temple. After knowing that you came, I hid all the food for the maids. If I want to eat, I will go to the East Palace and let Xia Zhi take you there." Li Hong said Foodie Li Dan knows a lot about it. Looking at the little guy, he knew that during lunch, he was ordered to lose weight by the dragon mother, and now he is hungry again.

Li Dan, who was just ten years old, immediately brightened his eyes when he heard that there was something to eat in the East Palace, but when he looked at Li Lingyue who wrinkled her nose, he flinched again. He was afraid that Li Lingyue would go to his mother again to complain. At that time, it will be troublesome if there is no food at night.

"Don't worry, Li Lingyue won't say it." Li Hong signaled that Xia Zhi took Li Dan away, and he and Li Lingyue went to the back garden with Bai Chun to see why the queen mother had to cultivate peony in Luoyang. .

In myths and legends, it was because the empress drove the peony from Chang'an to Luoyang in anger. According to legend, Wumei Wumei saw a smear of fireworks in the snow when she was enjoying the snow scene. But a closer look revealed that It is a red plum in full bloom.

Wu Mei couldn't help but sigh when she saw the blooming red plum, but the person who accompanied her to appreciate the snow flattered and said: "No matter how good the plum is, it is a single one. If you make a decrement to let this garden bloom , Isn’t it more beautiful."

Since there are flattering people next to it, there is a relatively straightforward person who said: "The beautification and blooming in the cold winter is at the right time. If you want a hundred flowers to bloom, it is better to wait for the next spring."

Through the drunken Wu Mei: "It's not surprising that flowers bloom in spring. A hundred flowers and snow are blooming, which suits my heart."

So he immediately made an order and wrote a verse: "You will travel to Shangyuan in the Ming Dynasty, and the fire will tell you the spring. The flowers must be released overnight, and don't wait for the wind to blow." Then they were ordered to burn and tell the **** of flowers to know.

In the early morning of the second day, all the flowers in Shangyuan rushed to bloom, but the peony never bloomed. So Wu Mei set fire to Chang'an peony, leaving none.

In the end, the anger still persisted, and the peony was again ordered to be rooted out, expelled from Chang'an, and thrown to the Mang Mountain in Luoyang, so that it would be cut off.

Although Li Hong did not know how such myths and legends came about, it is conceivable that after Wu Mei became emperor, the evaluation of her in history books would never describe her as a gentle and intellectual woman.

But even so, Li Hong knew that in his entire life, he would not know why his mother would set up a wordless monument after her death, allowing the world to judge herself.

Because she is so arrogant that she feels that she has made great achievements, any comments are insignificant to her, and no one is qualified to comment on her? It is Wu Mei that has already seen through the hearts of the people, instead of setting up a monument, it is better to stand proudly without a word monument, leaving a thousand-year legend between the world and the earth.

Wu Mei listened to the myths and legends told by Li Hong, while admiring the colorful and colorful peony flowers, she said faintly: "I see, your mythical story made out of nothing, it's so stupid. , There is no logic at all. This story maker is not an open-minded person. Such slander is really an act of a villain."

"Ah, why did the queen say that? The queen mother demoted the peony flower to Luoyang because it didn't bloom. It's a natural thing, and it fits the queen mother's cold and ruthless character." Li Hong The myths and legends were told to his dragon mother intact, but the person concerned was changed from his dragon mother to the queen mother.

As for the place names, Chang'an and Luoyang, Li Hong didn’t even bother to change, so he just used Chang'an and Luoyang to describe. After all, there is a Han Chang'an city in Chang'an. In this way, the mother will not be suspicious. To herself.

What's more, this fairy tale was fabricated after she became the emperor. Before she became the emperor, Peony was not expelled.

Wu Mei glanced at him with a faint smile, and continued faintly: "Since that Queen Mother likes to stay in Luoyang more than in Chang'an, then since the flowers bloomed, this beautiful and noble peony never blossomed. , The Queen Mother would be in a rage and debase the peony that resisted the decree to her favorite Luoyang? Is this logic reasonable? If it is degraded, everyone in the world should not be allowed to plant or cultivate peonies. It's just expelling, or my favorite capital, it doesn't make sense to reason."

Before Wu Mei stopped him, Li Hong quickly picked a peony and inserted it in the center of Li Lingyue's forehead. Suddenly the royal princess, who was originally carved with jade, turned into a silly girl, was shocked. Right above his forehead, a blooming peony flower still hopped around among the flowers unconsciously, living the image of Huang Laoxie's apprentice idiot.

"That is for you to admire, who asked you to break her!" Wu Mei gave Li Hong a push, a good peony flower, which had to be folded down.

"Does the queen look good?" Li Lingyue cooperated with Li Hong's performance, or wanted to take this opportunity to make the queen beat her okay and always like to tease her emperor brother.

"Good-looking, your emperor's eyes are unique in admiring beauty. Looking at Bai Chun, you still don't know?" Wu Mei said lazily, too lazy to care about the silly girl's silly expression.

The gardener Song Danfu introduced all the cultivated peony varieties to Wu Mei. Wu Mei nodded her head when she heard, and Li Hong intentionally or unconsciously said that the soil in Luoyang is more suitable for planting peony flowers. , Wu Mei couldn't help but be moved, and wanted to cultivate more peonies in Luoyang.

Lingyue Li Lingyue, who is a little ghost, looked at the mother and didn’t mean to clean up the little bunny for her, so she also started to learn the wretchedness of her emperor brother. Without Wu Mei’s attention, she secretly folded a white peony The flower was quietly pinched in his hand, and then followed closely behind Bai Chun. After a while, he tied the peony flower to the tip of Bai Chun's vertical buttocks.

Looking at the success of his trick, he immediately raised his face triumphantly and smirked. The smile was unclear. Therefore, Li Hong was inexplicable.

Wu Mei glanced at Li Lingyue helplessly, then looked at Bai Chun who was helping her tidy up the peony flowers, and personally stopped Bai Chun, and helped Bai Chun untie the peony flowers from the long shoots. Then he said to Li Lingyue: "Li Lingyue, do you know the end of offending Bai Chun? Your future toys, but there will be none."

When Li Lingyue heard that the queen didn't help herself, she actually helped Bai Chun, her mouth slumped, and he hummed: "The emperor bullies the son, and the son bullies his woman, it is justified."

"Hey, hey, when did I bully you? My dear, you are too late." Li Hong suddenly cried out.

Li Lingyue still curled her mouth and pointed at the peony flower that was drooping down weakly. She rolled her small eyes and said, "Do you think I don't know it's ugly like this?"

"It's pretty, pretty stupid."

"You are so stupid and cute." Li Lingyue pouted and couldn't bully His Royal Highness. Now even the women of His Royal Highness are protected by a queen, hum, the queen is partial.

Wu Mei is too lazy to care about why Li Hong always likes to fight with Li Lingyue, and it seems that she is still enjoying it every time. Such a big person just refuses to grow up. There is really no prince's style.

"Let’s say, when do you plan to return to Chang'an, I am ready to prepare." Wu Mei and Bai Chun placed a blood-red peony among a group of white peony flowers, and looked at it with satisfaction. Said the model.

"Departing after three days, the sons of the court have told Baiguan today that they can return to Chang'an on their own within these three days, or follow you back to Chang'an with your mother and let them choose by themselves." Li Hong saw Bai Chun bent down and hurriedly waved to Li Lingyue.

Li Lingyue hurriedly tore off another peony flower~IndoMTL.com~ ran two steps on her calf, and the two brothers and sisters again worked together to tie a peony flower to Bai Chun's shoot.

Wu Mei couldn't even stop it at this time. She watched the two brothers and sisters act as monsters, took the kerchief handed over by the maid, wiped her hands, sat down in the pavilion, and admired a peony with satisfaction. After looking at Father Song Dan who sent the peony flowers over, he pointed to Li Hong's figure and said, "In a while, these peony flowers will be ten times the original price. Just ask your Royal Highness for money." /

"How dare you dare, the queen can like these peonies, it is really a blessing for the little people, how can you ask for money." Song Dan's father was the first person to cultivate peonies. I was trembling and unable to speak, and now I can speak like a stream, and I have to say that I have improved a lot.

"How can it work? You still have to collect the money. Just ask His Royal Highness. Remember to double it ten times." Wu Mei leisurely picked up the tea cup and drank the tea, looking at Li Lingyue's head show. I don't know when Li Hong was filled with peonies.

After passing through those nasty hands, an original little flower fairy became a little silly lady on the streets of Luoyang.

Bai Chun obviously couldn't escape the claws of the two brothers and sisters. Above the long show that was dark, bright, and soft as a waterfall, it was like a knot, from the tip to the end, tied with peonies.
