Chapter 291: Flowers that bloom beautifully attract people

Queen Lin noticed Su Rui's trembling hands. After a pause, she reached out to support her hands and said, "You've only just finished your confinement. If you can't take care of yourself, you still have to take care of these two little ones."

This allowed her to stand up, so Su Rui naturally wouldn't continue to suffer and stood up straight. "Thank you, Madam."

"You really went through a lot during this birth. I was so scared when I heard Doctor Feng's report. Fortunately, you made it through. You gave birth to two little boys in one pregnancy. Don't take risks next time."

It sounds like concern, but it's more of a test.

Su Rui smiled and pushed it back, "Yes, fortunately, thanks to the Buddha's blessing, I survived this disaster. However, no one can predict what will happen in the future, and I dare not say whether I will take risks in the future."

"I'm really a mother now. Things are different from before."

"Your Majesty, your compliment is too great. I do not deserve it."

"Why shouldn't I be afraid? The royal family has always had few offspring, and you are now a great contributor. Look at these two little guys, they are chubby and cute." Queen Lin looked at the gold and silver balls carefully, and there was a layer of love in her eyes, which was not so pure, but most people could not notice it.

However, although Yin Tuan was always a serious person, he was extremely sensitive to the emotions of others. He seemed to have sensed the evil behind Queen Lin's mask, and turned his face away and buried it in Su Rui's arms, not wanting Queen Lin to see him.

This action actually startled Queen Lin. She focused more of her attention on Yin Tuan and asked with a smile, "Is this the eldest or the second in command? He's quite alert."

"My Lady, it's the Second Brother."

"The ancients said that the younger twin is more stable and is the one who accomplishes great things. It seems that this is true. This second twin is more knowledgeable than the first one."

Jin Tuan didn't understand what was said and kept fiddling with the flowers with his hands.

Comparing the two, the syndicate indeed appears to be more agile and intelligent.

"It's only been three months, how can you tell so much? Everyone has their own nature." Su Rui didn't accept the challenge.

Empress Lin did not let him go and continued, "Even natures vary. Throughout history, those with abilities have been born with differences. Moreover, even on a hand, the five fingers vary in height. Ordinary families only care for the tallest ones, and the royal families are no exception. We must plan ahead, otherwise, disaster will ensue."

It is almost necessary to say it clearly that the struggle for the crown prince is inevitable.

If Su Rui doesn't choose one of the two brothers to be trained as the crown prince as soon as possible, it will harm the two brothers in the future.

It sounds like he is speaking with sincere advice.

After all, there is only one crown prince position, only one prince, and even only one throne.

Even Queen Lin did so.

But if everyone is doing something, is it right? Is it inevitable?

What if she doesn't?

"Although the five fingers are of different heights, they are all on the same hand. Moreover, the different heights also mean that each has its own function and job. There is no one who is superior. Forcibly distinguishing them is like splitting the five fingers on a hand. If the superior one disappears and there is no successor, what will happen?"

Queen Lin's flawless smile froze for a brief moment, then she smiled even more warmly and amiably, "Everyone has their own ideas, and it's hard to tell who's right and who's wrong. You're right, but who will know in the future?"

Su Rui smiled but said nothing.

"I summoned you here today. You should know why, right?" Queen Lin turned around, picked up the flower scissors again, and returned to business.

"It's about receiving Princess Dongyue."

"Princess Dongyue is the regent princess, a different kind of princess. The battle in Weicheng was chaotic, and now the princess has come to Great Zhao. Her purpose is unclear, but she must not make any mistakes, and she must not reveal Great Zhao's secrets. Your reception must be appropriate, and it's not an easy task. I originally thought you wouldn't agree to this."

"This is a matter concerning two diplomatic matters. Although I am humble, as a citizen of the Great Zhao, I should relieve the worries of the Great Zhao, relieve the worries of the Empress, and even more so, relieve the worries of the Prince."

The three reliefs are for the country and the people, for loyalty and affection, impeccable.

"Aren't you afraid?" Queen Lin trimmed off a branch, and the blooming flowers on it fell down and were thrown into the mud bucket next to it.

Su Rui took a look and said, "Of course I am afraid. If I am not careful, it is very likely to cause hostility between the two countries. But since I am the most suitable person for this matter, I dare not refuse. I believe in the Queen, the Prince, and the officials in the Honglu Temple. They will definitely not let me fight alone."

Three more people believed it, and Queen Lin laughed out loud.

"I am relieved that you can be so thorough. Princess Dongyue will arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow. You must read and memorize the booklet given to you by the Ministry of Rites. As for the rest, please inform Lord Wu of the Ministry of Rites immediately."

"Yes, I will remember this."

"It's getting late. Yinqin is at the Ministry of War today. He should be waiting for you outside the palace gate. Go ahead."

Su Rui was not polite. She bowed respectfully and stepped back.

"Wait." Before she turned around, Queen Lin looked at her again with an indistinct smile and said, "I forgot to mention that now that you've become a mother, not only are you different, you've also become a lot braver."

I don't know if this courage refers to the fact that he dared to take on the task of receiving Princess Dongyue, or the five-finger remarks just now.

But no matter which one, Su Rui doesn't care.

He bowed again and turned to leave. Yin Tuan, who had buried his face in Su Rui's arms, suddenly reached out and grabbed the flower branch next to him. The force of Su Rui's turning not only picked the flower off, but also the pot fell from the flower stand and broke into pieces on the ground.

Looking at the flower in Yin Tuan's hand, it was a gradient of red and yellow, with undulating edges on the petals, and it was blooming so warmly and beautifully. Although Su Rui didn't like flowers, she had seen this kind of flower in a catalog of famous flowers.

The famous Gloriosa lily is difficult to care for, but its flowers bloom like fiery flames, and a blooming plant is priceless.

And judging from the position where it was placed, it was something that Queen Lin treasured very much, and she even took care of it with her own hands.

"Your Majesty, this child's hands were too quick, I couldn't defend myself. This flower must be extremely valuable, I asked the prince..." Su Rui was so flustered that she couldn't speak clearly.

"Children just like bright colors. It's a blessing for them to like this flower. Don't be afraid. Go ahead." Queen Lin waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing serious.

Su Rui nodded repeatedly and walked out of the greenhouse with the two puppies in her arms.

Youlan, who was outside the door, saw the Gloriosa lily in Yintuan's hand, and her pupils widened. After seeing Su Rui off, she immediately turned back into the greenhouse and saw Queen Lin standing in front of the flower pot that had fallen to the ground, wondering what she was thinking.

"This Concubine Su is so unlucky that she turned the lilies that Your Majesty has taken care of for three years into this state." Youruo couldn't help it. Your Majesty loved flowers the most, and this Zhujialan lily was taken care of carefully. It bloomed the best and most beautifully this year, but it became like this in less than two days.

"When flowers bloom brightly, they attract attention. Naturally, they are not far from being destroyed. Let people take care of them."
