"Gentlemen, if you sincerely admit your mistakes, you will be kneeling here for an incense stick of time as punishment." Ye Qianning said slowly.

Instead of asking everyone to stand up, he asked them to continue kneeling. This action undoubtedly slapped Emperor Beili in the face.

"yes."

The kneeling gentlemen responded in unison without a trace of dissatisfaction, but instead knelt even straighter.

Emperor Beili's face twitched slightly: "Qian Ning, today is a flower viewing banquet, everyone is watching, it is inappropriate to ask you gentlemen to kneel."

"Your Majesty, faults have nothing to do with age or the situation. A three-year-old child will be punished for doing something wrong, let alone an old man over fifty years old. Logically, the older he is, the more knowledge and experience he has, and the more he has been influenced by what he has seen and heard, so he will not make mistakes easily. Since he made a mistake, he must be punished. If I listen to Your Majesty and let them stand up, wouldn't you gentlemen be labeled as taking advantage of your age?" Ye Qianning said in a clear voice.

"Senior Sister is right. If we make a mistake, we should be punished. We are willing to accept the punishment."

"We are willing to accept the punishment."

The group of gentlemen all spoke with high voices and bright eyes, showing admiration.

Just now, he had shown some favoritism to Ye Qianning because of his peerless appearance, but now his eyes were full of absolute conviction.

Emperor Beili's face darkened and he had nothing to say.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Concubine Zhan's mouth. In a short period of time, she seemed to understand something. The little girl from that year had indeed grown up.

All the concubines looked unhappy, lowered their heads and dared not look at the emperor, and were glad that they had not spoken just now.

Even the emperor was silenced, let alone a little concubine.

The young ladies from official families lowered their heads, becoming even more nervous than before. They were in inner torment and prayed that this flower viewing banquet would be over quickly.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Zhan called in a low voice.

Emperor Beili turned his head to meet Concubine Zhan's inquiring gaze, and whispered with pursed lips, "Continue."

Concubine Zhan nodded, then smiled at everyone and said, "The flower viewing banquet will continue."

continue?

Who is in the mood to appreciate flowers now?

Of course, life is more important than flowers.

Even though Concubine Zhan said that the flower viewing banquet would continue, no one stood up from their seats.

Only Ye Qianning, who had not stood up just now, stood up and walked forward.

Seeing Ye Qianning stand up, Nan Xiang also stood up. Sang Lanyu, who was standing opposite, had long wanted to find an opportunity to be with Ye Qianning. At this moment, she stood up excitedly and walked to her side in a few steps.

"It's worthy of being the king of flowers, the peony." Ye Qianning exclaimed.

When viewed up close, it is even more visually stunning, with its stunning beauty and surprisingly large size.

"Sister, look." Sang Lanyu pulled Ye Qianning's sleeve and pointed with her little hand at a patch of black among the flowers.

Ye Qianning also looked over. Among the gorgeous flowers, a few black flowers were very conspicuous, and could not be seen at all unless you looked closely.

"Is this the new product sent by the Sun family that the imperial concubine just mentioned? Why is it black?" Nan Xiang also looked over.

The sun sets, and only a faint hint of white remains in the sky.

The palace lanterns around have been lit, and the red glow makes the charming flowers look even more beautiful, but under the illumination of the palace lanterns, the flowers appear as black as ink.

Ye Qianning thought of a variety: "Green Dragon Lying in the Ink Pool."

"Qinglong Womochi? The name of this flower?" Nan Xiang was puzzled.

As the sound of "Qinglong Lying in the Ink Pool" rang out, everyone was stunned. Many people had just noticed the black flowers among the flowers, and now they were somewhat surprised to hear the name.

"Mother just said that the flower doesn't have a name yet. Sister, is Qinglong Womochi the name you gave the flower?" Sang Lanyu asked, looking up.
