Luoyang Brocade Chapter 283: Bloom
After Luo Yan was choked and speechless, Ling Jingshu's long-suppressed depression was suddenly gone. She said with a smile: "I want to go to the Peony Room, so I won't talk to my sister anymore."
Luoyan watched Ling Jingshu's graceful figure disappear, not to mention the annoyance and frustration in his heart.
Did you shoot yourself in the foot?
"Luoyan, why are you doing nothing here alone?" Qiu Shuang's familiar voice rang in her ears: "Hey, your face doesn't look good either. Who is so bold and dares to let you suffer? ”
Looking at the concerned face, there was a light in the eyes that was not too big to watch the excitement.
Luo Yan also has a sharp temper, so he refused to elaborate and responded vaguely: "No one wants me to be idle. I just have nothing to do and stand here for a while."
Qiu Shuang didn't wait to get to the bottom of it, and then said: "I still have some things to do, so I won't talk to you. Let's take a step first." After that, he left in a hurry.
Qiu Shuang sneered.
What you say is inconsistent and you can tell at a glance that it is against your will.
You can guess why Luo Yan is worried about something with just a little thought.
The flower viewing party is coming soon. If Ling Jingshu comes up with a new peony that outperforms others, she will make a big splash. It has nothing to do with Luoyan.
On the contrary, if the new peonies are not planted well, Queen Xu will lose face at the flower viewing banquet. With Xu Huang's ⑤↙ long⑤↙ style⑤↙ literature⑤↙ temperament, he will definitely get angry. At that time, Luo Yan, who secretly detained the palace maid, would not be able to get any favors.
Luo Yan only wanted to give Ling Jingshu a showdown, but he didn't expect that the one who was riding a tiger would be himself.
What an idiot!
She just waits to watch the excitement!
……
As you approach the peony room, you will see pots of peonies hanging with various buds.
The breeze blows, and bursts of fragrance penetrate into the nose. The chaotic and complicated emotions quickly calmed down.
Bai Yu was looking down at the flower buds when she heard footsteps and stood up straight to greet them: "Miss, why did it take you so long to go to Lingbo Hall?"
Ling Jingshu replied casually: "When I came back just now, I met Luo Yan and chatted with her for a few words."
Mentioning Luo Yan, Bai Yu couldn't help curling her lips: "These days, people often come to the peony room. Luo Yan must have sent someone to take a peek. Originally, he wanted to see our jokes, but now he knows about these new peonies. It’s growing very well, I’m afraid I’m panicking.”
"She must be trying to get those two palace ladies back! Miss, please don't be soft-hearted and ignore her. After the flower-viewing banquet, let's see if she can still hold her head up in the Jiaofang Palace. Come."
Bai Yu has always been kind and gentle, but rarely speaks so harshly. Presumably, Luo Yan was also angered by Luo Yan's previous provocative behavior.
Ling Jingshu laughed dumbly: "You are right, she does have this intention. However, I have already refused."
Bai Yu's heart suddenly calmed down, and she no longer bothered with Luo Yan's topic. She lowered her voice and asked, "Miss, was the matter in Lingbo Palace specially arranged by Empress Jieyu?"
Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed with a complex and subtle look, and she nodded lightly.
Bai Yu suddenly became excited: "Empress Jieyu is so kind to the young lady! She is willing to sacrifice her own face so that the young lady can escape. This kind of helping hand is really touching."
I didn’t think of Wei Yan.
Ling Jingshu lowered her eyelids and hid the emotion behind her eyes: "Yes, Empress Jieyu treats me very well. Just be aware of this and don't tell Qiaoyun."
Bai Yu hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "If something like this suddenly happened in Lingbo Palace, I'm afraid Qiaoyun will also become suspicious. What if she guesses the whole story and reports it to His Highness the Grand Sun?"
Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed, and her voice was extremely cold: "What can he do if he knows. He was reckless and impulsive, which made me embarrassed in the palace. Aren't others allowed to save me?"
This seems to mean something else.
Bai Yu's heart moved and she wanted to ask.
Ling Jingshu didn't want to say any more and bent down to inspect the peonies.
……
Time flies, and half a month flies by.
The weather is getting warmer, the sun is warm, and the breeze is gentle. Most of the more than a hundred pots of peonies in the peony room have bloomed buds, ranging from pink, white, goose, yellow, light red, dark green, and deep purple, in a variety of colors, blooming freely to show the unique splendor of peonies.
The rich fragrance spreads with the breeze.
This is not only the case in Jiaofang Hall, but also everywhere in the palace. Especially the Imperial Garden, where a large number of flowers and plants are planted. When the flowers bloom, the fragrance is filled and it is fascinating.
More and more of the maids and chambermaids in Jiaofang Palace came to the Peony Room to admire the peonies when they had nothing to do. Especially the new peonies in bloom in pots that are particularly beautiful and bright, attracted many people to admire them.
"Hurry and take a look, this pot of fragrant jade is blooming so beautifully and the fragrance is intoxicating."
"This two-color peony is the most beautiful. Other peonies bloom to the size of the bowl, but these two flowers are larger than the bowl."
"Yes, yes, I have been in the palace for several years, and I have never seen such beautiful peonies."
Several palace ladies gathered around the new peonies and praised them profusely, most of their eyes falling on the pot of Luoyang Brocade.
The green branches and leaves are wonderfully divided into two parts from the middle, each prosperous and different. The six flower buds grow on different flower branches, with different colors and shapes. Two of them have already bloomed, and the flowers are much larger than the mouth of the bowl.
Come forward, the fragrance is fragrant.
This fragrance is particularly attractive, far better than other peonies.
The palace ladies couldn't help but get closer.
Baiyu and Qiaoyun entered the palace for a short time and were embarrassed to say anything. Hongmei didn't have so many scruples. She glared at the palace ladies and shouted: "The flower appreciation banquet will be in three days. Miss Ling will be there tomorrow. I want to dedicate these new pots of peonies to the Queen. You two are so close, if something goes wrong, can you afford it?"
A dog fights against human power!
The palace ladies murmured in their hearts ~IndoMTL.com~ but did not dare to refute, and left quickly.
Bai Yu then breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Hongmei, "It's all thanks to you today."
A trace of complacency flashed in Hongmei's eyes, but she said: "This is nothing. When dealing with them, you have to keep a straight face. Otherwise, they will get into trouble."
Bai Yu deliberately flattered her, making Hongmei smile.
Ling Jingshu came out of the peony room soon. When she heard about this little episode, she also raised the corners of her lips and praised Hongmei.
Hongmei felt very comfortable after hearing this, and smiled attentively: "Ms. Ling, there are more than twenty pots of new peonies here. How many pots are you going to present tomorrow?"
Ling Jingshu glanced briefly and responded with a gentle smile: "I have already made my choice. You can call them all here tomorrow and come with me to present flowers to the Queen."
Hongmei perked up and responded with a smile. (To be continued.)
