Chapter 354 Flowers Bloom



After hearing Jiang Si's request, the palace maid looked at Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhuang.

Concubine Zhuang smiled faintly without any further reaction.

Concubine Xian nodded in agreement.

She wanted to see what tricks this girl would play.

Soon, two palace maids came over, each holding a glass vase with a plum branch in it.

A transparent glass bottle with a large belly and a narrow mouth has a plum branch that extends more than three inches out of the mouth of the bottle, with a few scattered flower buds on it.

Among the plum blossoms in full bloom, it is not easy to find two plum branches with only flower buds.

"Your Majesty." Two palace maids stood side by side and saluted Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhuang in unison.

Concubine Xian raised her chin in the direction of Jiang Si and said calmly, "Send it to Miss Jiang."

Two palace maids came up to Jiang Si holding vases and knelt slightly in front of her with expressionless faces.

To a palace maid who was used to seeing nobles, a girl from a baron's mansion was naturally nothing, not to mention that the girl in front of her obviously had no future.

Magic tricks?

They had seen countless flower viewing parties, big and small, but had never seen a noble lady display her talent as a magician.

How do you perform a magic trick? Are you going to make this plum branch disappear?

No matter what, it feels unpresentable and ridiculous.

The two palace maids thought so, without showing any expression, and presented the vase to Jiang Si without looking away.

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Two sisters, take it."

The two palace maids held the vase tightly and did not move.

Jiang Si took two steps forward and closed the distance between him and one of the palace maids.

She raised her hand and lightly touched a flower bud on the plum branch with her slender fingers.

The flower bud is small and tightly closed, looking skinny.

The girls became more puzzled when they saw her actions. No matter how disdainful they were in their hearts, their curiosity was still piqued. They all stared at her with bated breath, and some even stood on tiptoe unconsciously.

"Miss Jiang, what kind of magic are you going to perform?" asked Concubine Xian.

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "It's not really a magic trick, it's just that the plum blossoms are all over the garden, and the blooming season is about to end, but these two have not yet bloomed. I feel it's a pity, so I want to urge them to stop being lazy and bloom early."

What, force the plum buds to bloom?

Not only did the noble ladies who heard this show expressions of disbelief, but even Concubine Xian's eyes flashed with surprise, and she subconsciously looked at Concubine Zhuang.

Concubine Zhuang was also slightly surprised.

If this Miss Jiang could really make the budding plum blossoms bloom, it would not be a magic trick that could not be performed on stage, but an elegant and miraculous thing.

But how is this possible?

She was a well-read poet and even a lot of miscellaneous books, but she had never heard of such a method in the world.

While the two ladies were looking at each other, the noble ladies couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Is Miss Jiang suffering from hysteria?"

"Who knows? I heard clearly just now that Miss Jiang was squeezed in by Miss Chen. I guess she doesn't have any outstanding talents, so she was forced into it."

"Even if you are forced to do so, you can't just throw away all your energy. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if you say such big words later?"

The corners of Chen Huifu's mouth curled higher and higher.

She pushed Jiang Si to go on stage because she wanted any talent Jiang Si displayed to look mediocre after Kou Lingbo's brilliant dance, but she never expected that he would be so suicidal.

Make the budding plum blossoms bloom? Hahaha, that little bastard named Jiang must be mentally retarded.

Ji Fanghua, who was sitting next to Concubine Xian, frowned slightly as she looked at the girl in the field. However, when the girl's beautiful eyes met hers for a moment, her calm and composed demeanor made her inexplicably relieved.

Ji Fanghua couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Si bent his lips in response, then looked away.

Yu Jin's eyes had been following the people in the field, and he saw every move and expression of the other party clearly. Now, seeing Jiang Si flirting with others, he immediately felt depressed.

He was sitting here, but Ah Si didn't look at him but at another woman?

Whose family is that ignorant woman from?

Yu Jin looked at Ji Fanghua seriously.

He may look unfamiliar, but since he can sit next to Concubine Xian, he must be of great background.

Noticing Yu Jin's gaze, Ji Fanghua turned around and nodded slightly to him as a greeting, but she felt a little puzzled: why was her cousin looking at her inexplicably?

Oh, could it be that he has taken a fancy to her?

This is so scary!

Ji Fanghua became anxious and his face immediately sank. He rolled his eyes at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: Not only did this woman flirt with Ah Si, she even provoked him!

A low voice came: "Seventh brother, do you think Miss Jiang can really make the budding plum blossoms bloom?"

Yu Jin came back to his senses and met the King of Shu's bright eyes. His alarm bells immediately rang. He said expressionlessly, "How should I know?"

The King of Shu laughed: "Haha, I'm curious too."

It turns out that the seventh brother has taken a fancy to the girl from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

It makes sense that the Anguo Mansion is the maternal home of the seventh brother. If the seventh brother marries a girl from the Anguo Mansion, the Anguo Mansion will support him wholeheartedly, and Concubine Xian, who has a weak relationship with the seventh brother, will probably also change and will not put all her heart on the fourth brother.

Thinking about it this way, Lao Qi is really scheming.

As these thoughts ran through the King of Shu's mind, his eyes fell on the young girl present.

Although the position of Princess of Shu has nothing to do with this extremely beautiful Miss Jiang, as a normal man, of course he is willing to look at the beauty a few more times.

People's reactions and comments seemed to have no effect on Jiang.

She lowered her eyes to look at the plum branch in the glass vase, her eyes were gentle: "Don't be lazy, it's time to bloom."

After saying this, Yingbai's fingertips brushed across a flower bud.

The tightly clenched flower bud began to tremble slightly and slowly bloom under the gaze of countless people as the girl's bare hands brushed over it.

Her bare hands gently brushed over the flower buds, which seemed to have received precious dewdrops and slowly opened up. Soon, the branches were full of bright red plum blossoms.

This amazing sight was like lightning that struck everyone present. At that moment, there was silence and even a pin drop could be heard. Only the sound of flowers blooming, which although non-existent, seemed to whisper in everyone's heart.

There is such a beautiful scenery.

Everyone present had attended many flower-viewing banquets and seen many exotic flowers and plants. It can be said that no matter how rare the flowers and trees were, or how beautiful the scenery was, they could not move them.

But it was the first time they saw what it looked like when the flowers bloomed a little bit.

So magical, so... so shocking.

Before anyone could come to their senses, the two plum blossoms had already blossomed.

The bright red plum blossom is a girl more charming than any flower.

The King of Shu couldn't help but stood up.

Jiang Si bowed to Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhuang and said in a clear voice: "I am a humble servant, but I would like to present these two plum blossoms to you two ladies, wishing you eternal youth and eternal youth."

Concubine Xian slowly came back to her senses. She couldn't tell what she was feeling for a moment. She nodded to the palace maid and said, "Present it."

Two palace maids quickly presented the glass vase with plum blossoms in it to the two concubines.

Concubine Xian looked at it carefully again and again, and sighed in her heart: It is really amazing, it can make flowers bloom, which is simply unheard of.
