Chapter 132
The rest, Concubine Li and Concubine Ning each had four branches, Concubine Jing had four branches, Wen Xiaoyi had two branches, and Su Yu-nu had two branches.
A few flowers can show the emperor's intentions.
After all, these 'random drops' only depend on who the emperor currently remembers.
No matter how you look at it, Concubine Jing is someone the emperor remembers in his heart. No matter whether it is the Jieyi above or Xiaoyi below, they cannot surpass her.
People who came to deliver things were naturally happy and asked Shen Chuliu to choose first.
Shen Chuliu smiled as she looked at the dozens of flowers in the delicate wenge box, and then asked Zizhu to choose. Zizhu knew her master's preferences and quickly picked out four good ones.
Then Zi Rui rewarded the eunuch who came to deliver the things and left.
Shen Chuliu played with the flower and thought, she remembered that there was a similar plot in the Red Mansion she had read in her previous life. When the palace flowers given by the elders came to Lin Daiyu's hands, she would ask, "Does it belong to everyone, or only to me?" When she asked, there were only a few left in the box. If it was only given to her, then it didn't matter whether it was good or bad.
But if everyone has it, then we’ll just choose the leftovers.
Lin Daiyu's pride makes her not interested in what others have left behind.
Today, the pride of the people of Jingmei is supported by this box of flowers, which are not small in number.
Yuanxiao came back and said that the eunuch just said that they had not gone to Taiping Palace yet.
Shen Chuliu looked at the flower with a smile and said, "Keep it."
"Master, all the things for Su Yu-nu have been delivered, and everyone in the palace has been rewarded." Yuan Xiao said.
"Well, what did she say?" Shen Chuliu asked casually, guessing that person wouldn't say anything.
really.
"My lord, Su Yunu only wants to say thank you to you." Yuan Xiao said.
"It's also watertight. Just be careful about it next time. There's nothing else to do. Let's serve the meal." Shen Chuliu said.
Everyone agreed and went to the kitchen to get the meal.
There was a delicious soup for dinner, which was stewed with medicinal herbs.
It is said that this soup is specially served to the Empress. The Empress liked it, so she stewed some for Concubine Jing as well.
Shen Chuliu simply asked someone to reward the eunuch.
The eunuch was good at talking, and he didn't say that he had left some for her, but said that he had stewed some for her.
It turns out that many people in this world are like this. They won’t go away if you lead them, but will go away if you beat them.
She was scared of being beaten by the kitchen staff.
But she is scared now. If she can't keep herself steady, it will be just as bad.
Even next time, the kitchen will do it even more inconspicuously.
It was too far to think about it. After eating, Shen Chuliu took Zizhu and Zhemei Yuanxiao out for a night tour of the Imperial Garden.
The emperor is with Su Yu'nu now, so they won't be seen.
She just wanted to take a walk today.
It’s close, which is just right.
"Master, please be careful where you step. I will light the way for you." Yuanxiao said carefully.
"The roads in the Imperial Garden have been repaired. How difficult can it be to walk on them?" Shen Chuliu smiled.
In the evening, there were also waiters in the Imperial Garden. When they saw her coming in, they hurriedly greeted her.
Shen Chuliu did not go deeper, but stopped at the pavilion closest to her, smelling the fragrance of unknown flowers and drinking a cup of tea brought by the servants of the imperial garden.
"Lady Jing, the Epiphyllum in the Imperial Garden blooms at night, wouldn't you like to go and have a look?" asked a steward in the Imperial Garden.
"Epiphyllum? When was it planted?" Shen Chuliu became interested.
"My dear Miss Jing, the flowers were transplanted here last year, but they had not bloomed last year. They will bloom this year. Some of them may bloom tonight." The young steward tried his best to please.
It is said that seeing the blooming of Epiphyllum brings good news. I guess the masters in the harem would be happy to see it.
"If that's the case, then you lead the way. As long as I see it, you will be rewarded." Shen Chuliu stood up.
The steward responded happily and personally supported Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu didn't stop him, but held his arm and walked over there.
The place where Epiphyllum is planted is a little way south of the Imperial Garden.
When Shen Chuliu walked over, he saw lanterns hanging on the four corners of Yuntan Pavilion, and several servants were waiting there.
She went over and everyone greeted her.
The steward hurriedly said, "Lady Jing, why don't you sit in the pavilion? I will go and take a look at this Epiphyllum first."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Okay."
After climbing up the pavilion and looking down, you will see a field of Epiphyllums below.
They all have flower buds, white or silvery white.
The floor lamp was on, illuminating the night-blooming cereus, which added a touch of mystery.
But in fact, it is just a plant with a very short flowering period.
Shen Chuliu thought about it and started laughing.
Not long after, the steward came up and said that there were a few flowers but it might take a while, so he asked Shen Chuliu to sit down first.
Shen Chuliu thought that it was really interesting to wait for flowers to bloom in her life.
It was at this time that footsteps were heard, and soon the eunuchs were seen kneeling down.
The emperor is coming.
Shen Chuliu was shocked. How did they meet? The emperor brought Su Yu-nu with him to appreciate the Epiphyllum.
Shen Chuliu greeted him in the pavilion: "Long live the emperor."
Below, Su Yu-nu also hurriedly greeted: "Hello, Miss Jing."
"My beloved concubine is here too?" Qi Yixiu was surprised and walked up to the pavilion.
"I didn't know that the emperor was coming, so I came to see the Epiphyllum. I'm sorry to disturb you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
I really don't know. If she knew, she would definitely not come to show off...
"It's such a beautiful day, with a beautiful woman enjoying the flowers. It's my blessing to see her. How can I say it's a disturbance?" Qi Yizheng came up and took her hand to sit down.
"Please sit down, Su." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Su Yunu sat aside.
"Your Majesty already has a beauty by his side, why is he still looking at her? How greedy." Shen Chuliu gently swept the gauze in her hand across Qi Yixiu's hand.
Qi Yixiu looked at her. The little concubine was wearing a moon-white gauze skirt today, which made her look even more ethereal under the moonlight.
There was a rare silk flower and a hairpin to secure the hair on the snake bun.
Obviously I had no intention of meeting him.
Besides, he came here on a whim and no one expected it.
However, the little concubine's attire unexpectedly matched the scenery of the ephemeral cereus.
Qi Yixiu couldn't help but say, "I remember a poem that goes, 'The night-blooming cereus blooms in the middle of the night, and the beauty appears gracefully under the moon.' My beloved concubine and I are a perfect match."
"Your Majesty..." Shen Chuliu was shy.
"Sister Jing is naturally beautiful. Her outfit today doesn't look like she has put much effort into dressing up, which makes her look even more casual and elegant. Under the moonlight, she looks like a fairy. It's this Epiphyllum that serves as a foil for Sister." Su Yunu laughed softly.
"Hahaha, well said. That's exactly it." Qi Yixiu was satisfied.
Shen Chuliu snorted: "It's your fault that Your Majesty doesn't wear white clothes."
Qi Yixiu is wearing a bright yellow robe today.
"Yes, yes, if I knew that my beloved concubine was here, how could I dare to come here like this? I must have dressed up nicely." Qi Yixiu said.
The emperor was naturally still the ruthless and cruel emperor, but he had always been a man who did things with a smile.
What's more, when you are in a good mood, it is nice to have fun with the concubines, and naturally you will act as if everything is up to you.
But if you really believed his lies...
