2474 Master Flower
Gu Xiaowan really doesn't like to wear black clothes. She probably doesn't like clothes with dull colors. However, because she has to drink sunflower water and the like every day, she is afraid that some elegant clothes will leave stains when they are worn. Therefore, she also prepared two sets of dark clothes in the palace.
And now that she has not come to Kuishui, the reason why she has to wear black clothes is because the red flower on her back is too charming, and it cannot be covered by plain clothes, even if she wears one layer and On the first floor, she finally put on her jacket. Gu Xiaowan still felt uneasy, so she simply wore black clothes so that no one could tell.
Then he picked out a black dress and put it on.
Shu Min was so jealous that she wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.
After she went back, she felt very strange. Gu Xiaowan was obviously going to die, so how could she survive again? Not to mention, in such a short period of time, she became full of energy, just like a normal person. Isn't this strange?
Lihua led the way. When she passed by Shu Min, she looked at the unfamiliar maid next to her and asked, "Where is Caiyue next to you?"
Shu Min said hurriedly: "Oh, I still have a set of jewelry that I haven't brought over. I asked her to go back and get it!"
Lihua frowned: "You're not that kind of person. If you want to go out, you will bring everything properly. Why are you missing something this time?"
Shu Min said: "Anyway, the palace is not far away. I asked her to go back and get it and she will be here soon!"
Gu Xiaowan followed behind. After hearing this, she also raised her head and glanced at Shu Min inexplicably, and then looked at Zuo who was aside, and Zuo nodded.
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, they saw a lot of people waiting there. When they saw several princesses and princesses arriving, they hurriedly knelt down to say hello: "Greetings to the princess, hello to the princess..."
Princess Lihua waved her hand gracefully: "Everyone, get up!"
Only then did the ladies and ladies get up.
Many of the ladies followed Shu Min to catch the rapist yesterday. Now seeing Gu Xiaowan standing there safe and sound, and thinking about the fate of Xiang Shuyun and Liu Siyi yesterday, they all felt chills running down their spines. After they stood up, they couldn't help but It was several steps away from Gu Xiaowan.
They haven't forgotten that they have to go back and think about their mistakes behind closed doors!
It only took one day, but word had already spread outside. If the Queen Mother and the Emperor had not asked them to attend out of consideration for the Qing Dynasty, otherwise, they would really not be willing to come.
I don't dare to say that I don't dare to move when I come, let alone look around. On days like this, it's better to shut up at home and think about it. It's better than here. Maybe the emperor doesn't like it and imposes a few more punishments. That's really I couldn't eat anymore and walked away.
Gu Xiaowan was even more excited when she saw these ladies and young ladies staying away from her. She and Tan Yushu walked to the chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden. The chrysanthemums were in full bloom now, so they could just take a look at them.
Now the ministers and men in the palace were waiting outside the imperial garden, waiting only for the emperor and Prince Nanling to arrive before they could come in.
Now here, there are only female family members and serving maids and eunuchs.
Gu Xiaowan looked inside the imperial garden. Now she had tidied up a large garden. There were about twenty or thirty rectangular tables arranged in four rows. The tables were filled with fresh fruits, cups, plates, and chopsticks. There were futons placed on the table, and the maids were walking around in front of the table, placing various things in an orderly manner.
Gu Xiaowan calculated in her mind that there were forty or fifty tables. Each table could seat four people, that's about a hundred people. I heard that this time, officials of the fourth rank and above are still attending the banquet with their wives, eldest son and eldest daughter. In the harem, just like last time, only concubines of the third rank and above can attend the banquet. But now the emperor has just drafted, except for the empress, There are no concubines above the third rank.
It's just that the Queen is pregnant now, and the Emperor is sympathetic to the Queen, so the Queen will not be allowed to attend such a banquet. That means that except for the four princesses and the princess, no nobles in the palace will attend.
Then their position should be under the emperor's control, which shows their dignity.
Seeing that it was still early and the Emperor and Prince Nanling had not yet arrived, Tan Yushu took Gu Xiaowan to the chrysanthemum garden next door. He saw that although the chrysanthemums were withered, they still had the solemn beauty of autumn.
The big yellow chrysanthemums bloomed all over the flower bed, which became more and more frightening to see.
When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom. The incense formation soaring to the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.
Tan Yushu said: "This gardener is really amazing. The chrysanthemums he took care of are so beautiful. Look, there are many varieties I don't know, and they all bloom so well. This gardener is really amazing."
The maid who led them here said: "This gardener is a capable person in the Qing Dynasty. He has seen all the flowers in the world. If there is a fragrance, he can tell what it is by smelling it with his eyes closed. If it is fragrant, he can tell what it is." Even if it is a leaf or a petal without fragrance, he can accurately determine what kind it is. Not only that, his flower planting skills are also great, and any flower can bloom in his hands. Come in the most beautiful form.”
Gu Xiaowan was stunned: "That gardener is so good? Can he know all the flowers just by looking at them?"
"Yes, this gardener used to grow flowers on the mountain. Later, the emperor ordered someone to find him personally to grow flowers in the palace. He said that the varieties of flowers he had seen were better than all the maids had seen. There are so many! In this palace, although it is called a hundred flowers blooming, there are countless kinds of flowers in this vast world that we have never seen before, and that is called a unique one!"
Gu Xiaowan thought of the flowers on her back that she couldn't even name.
She was a doctor in her previous life, so she is quite knowledgeable.
It was wide, but this was the first time she had seen such charming flowers, and she didn’t know the gardener...
"What's the name of the gardener?" Gu Xiaowan asked again.
The maid hurriedly said: "When I return to Princess Anping, the gardener is already very old. I heard he is over seventy years old. His surname is Hua. He also said that he likes flowers and his surname is Hua. This is what God has ordered him to do. I’ve been dealing with flowers my whole life!”
Gu Xiaowan smiled quickly and said, "Thank you for telling me so many things."
