Chapter 1097 Pinlan
Qiao Xuan thought to herself: Here it comes, here it comes!
I know this is what they are curious about.
But it's no wonder. If she were them, she would definitely be just as curious!
Because it’s relatively rare and scarce!
Qiao Xuan took a look at the pot of orchid.
The slender and narrow green leaves are emerald green, with the leaves gathered together and the tips drooping outward. Planted in an octagonal purple clay flowerpot carved with landscapes, pines, bamboos and figures, they appear even more simple and elegant.
The flowers are in bloom, the color is light green, and it is as elegant as a fairy. The sepals are emerald green and shaped like peach petals, the peduncle is long and thin, and the petals are shaped like "peach petals", so it is named Cuitao.
Because orchids were very popular in this era, Qiao Xuan took the time to learn about them basically through the system in the space.
Therefore, as soon as I saw the orchid, I recognized what variety it was.
The green peach has become extinct in modern times, but I didn't expect to see it now. But you can imagine how precious it is.
Qiao Xuan looked at it carefully but did not say what kind it was. Since the green peach was rare, how could she, a mere wife of a Hanlin scholar and from a small family in a small place, have ever seen one?
She smiled and said, "I can't tell what kind of orchid this is, but this cluster of orchids is growing well, and there is nothing wrong with it. Your Majesty, you can rest assured."
The lady was not willing to give in. "But I still think this pot of orchids is not good. My master also likes to grow orchids. He has orchids such as Green Cloud, White Lotus, Snow White, Peach Smile, Eighteen Charms, etc. I think this pot of green peach is not right! Madam Shao, why don't you take a closer look?"
After the lady said this, the others couldn't help but whisper to each other, looking at the orchid as if there was really something wrong with it.
Qiao Xuan knew everything. She smiled and said, "If you must say there is something wrong with this orchid, it's probably because it was just moved out of the greenhouse not long ago and it's still a little uncomfortable. If you're talking about other problems, there is absolutely no problem."
Everyone was stunned! Can you tell this? This is ridiculous, right? Is this Mrs. Shao talking nonsense?
The lady's face suddenly changed, and she blurted out in surprise: "How did you know?"
Concubine Shi was also stunned.
Obviously, every word Qiao Xuan said was correct.
This green peach is the favorite of the Fourth Prince, and there are only three pots of it in the whole capital. Because there is a hot spring behind this villa, a greenhouse was specially built. As winter approaches, all these precious orchids are moved to the villa. If the weather changes drastically, the greenhouse can be used at any time for natural warming, which is much better than warming with charcoal fire.
You must know that if the color, shape and appearance of these famous orchids are damaged even a little bit, they will not be perfect, and people who love orchids will never tolerate this.
The green peach blossoms are in full bloom, and Concubine Shi specially ordered people to put them up today. This shows that she really likes their elegance and grace, but also wants to show off her favor.
You know what, the temperature dropped sharply in the past two days, so Cui Tao really went into the greenhouse. She only moved out today when the weather got better.
Is it possible that even this can be seen so obviously?
Concubine Shi thought so and couldn't help asking, "It really is not difficult for Madam Shao. How did Madam Shao figure it out?"
Everyone was dumbfounded: "It turns out to be true!"
The lady obviously knew about it - which was not surprising, as she was Concubine Shi's second sister-in-law.
