There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 137 Rose
In the end, the queen smiled and relieved the embarrassment.

"Your child is not in good health recently. You should raise him at home more often. You don't have to come here to say hello to him years ago!"

"The same goes for you two, especially the second daughter-in-law. You just gave birth to a child, so you have to take good care of it. Don't let the root of the disease fall!"

"Thank you mother!"

Concubine Ping and Concubine Chen stood up together, Tang Wanning was a step slower, but not too slow.

The queen curled her lips calmly, but said nothing else.

Next, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted casually, talking about new things inside and outside the palace.

Youchen Prince's Mansion was answering the words and flattering, but the atmosphere was lively and lively.

When a few people were chatting and laughing, suddenly Qi Momo came in with a serious face.

"Miss!"

"What's the matter?" The queen suppressed her smile and raised her head to ask.

"Li Guiren said that he would come to visit your mother!" Nanny Qi looked serious and reserved.

The queen's face also suddenly turned cold, and her tone was not kind.

"What is she here for? No see!"

Nanny Qi was very conflicted: "Mother, Li Guiren, she..."

"If you say no, you won't see! Let her go!" After speaking, he waved his hand and ignored the matter.

"Yes!" Nanny Qi lowered her head and withdrew regretfully.

The queen looked at the three daughters-in-law who were bewildered, but lost interest.

"You guys go down too, I'm tired today and need to rest!"

"Yes! Take care, mother-in-law, and my daughter-in-law will leave!"

The three stood up and saluted one after the other, and each retreated.

Concubine Chen was a little reconciled, and she turned around every step and wanted the queen to let her say a few more words, but the queen didn't do anything after all.

She had no choice but to go out of the palace with Princess Heping and get on the carriage back home.

Tang Wanning, on the other hand, went in the direction of the East Palace alone.

Along the way, Tang Wanning looked at the bare trees around her, feeling a little depressed.

"It's fine to go back. I've been living in the palace for too long. Is there any beautiful place in the harem?"

"Flowerhouse, Merlin, whatever! Anything is fine!"

Anyway, there is nothing to do, it is rare to come out, it is better to take a stroll.

"Meilin doesn't know, but I know that there is a flower house! Master, do you want to go and see it?" Bi Yue laughed.

"A few days ago, I thought there was nothing bright in our house, so I took a few maids to pick flowers. There is a greenhouse where gardeners specialize in cultivating potted flowers. It's beautiful and warm, just right for shopping!" Biyue explained.

"That's where the servants go, how could you lead the master there!" Bi Luo frowned.

"The masters of the various palaces often go to pick potted flowers by themselves, how can they ask the servants to go there?" Bi Yue protested.

What more did Biluo say, but Tang Wanning stopped her.

"Okay! Then I'll go over and pick out some potted flowers now! Anyway... I have nothing to do!"

As soon as she said she would leave, she took the two maids to the direction of the greenhouse.

……

The flower house is a bit far from Yuqing Palace, but it doesn't matter, anyway, Tang Wanning has plenty of time.

The three masters and servants walked around the imperial garden in a large circle before arriving at the flower house in the corner of the imperial garden.

It is said to be a greenhouse, but it is actually far from a modern greenhouse.

There is no glass, and a light-colored water-proof cloth is used, which cannot let in sunlight, so people can only burn the kang to keep the temperature in the shed.

All in all, it is small, dark, and simple, and of course, it is warm.

Tang Wanning bent down and walked in, and saw rows of flowers of various seasons inside, peonies, roses, crabapples, orchids, there were common ones, and there were also expensive ones.

She was full of amazement, the wisdom of ancient people can be so powerful.

It is not easy to cultivate such a perfect flower in this kind of environment. This process does not know how many people's sweat and even life will be spent.

After watching, Tang Wanning picked out a few pots of the best red roses.

This kind of rose is probably of the same family and genus as the previous roses, but they look very similar. She likes this kind of delicate rose red very much.

"The princess's vision is really good. This is a new breed that the servants have only raised this year. These are the first batch of flowers that just bloomed!"

The eunuch Hua who was in charge looked proud.

"Apart from this, what else is good? Take it together!" Tang Wanning expressed her interest.

The eunuch Hua thought for a while, then turned around and skillfully moved out a pot of camellias.

"And this is also a new pattern this year, but it hasn't bloomed yet, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer!"

"Oh!" The camellias are pretty, but it's a pity that we have to wait.

"Forget it, I want these pots!"

After Tang Wanning finished speaking, she ordered Bi Yue and Bi Luo to bring flower pots and prepare to come out.

Eunuch Hua quickly stopped them.

"What? You still have something to do?" Tang Wanning was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, you haven't given the silver reward yet!" Eunuch Hua was quite embarrassed, but his attitude was very tough, with the momentum that if you don't give the silver, you won't even think about leaving.

"What reward? I'll bring you a few pots of flowers and you still want the reward?" She had a look of incredulity.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. There are rules for each master in the palace and how many pots of flowers to place in total. The servants will send the rules in each palace on time, but things outside the rules ...the ladies have to get the money themselves, that is, rewarding money!" Eunuch Hua explained.

"The servants of these pots of Chinese roses have spent a whole winter cultivating them. Seeing that it is the first time for the empress to come back, there should not be too many servants. A reward of 100 taels of silver will be given to the servants for a bite of food. What does the empress think?"

Tang Wanning: "..."

She just came to bring some potted flowers, why did she still bargain?
The most important thing is, 100 taels, a few potted flowers cost 100 taels, which is equivalent to modern... tens of thousands of dollars.

Tut tut tut!This is too extravagant.

She subconsciously wanted to say that it was too expensive, but she heard that Bi Yue was domineering.

"You old eunuch is so bold, you dare to bargain. It's just the first time for us to come here and don't know the rules, so we can still make you short!"

"Just wait, someone from Yuqing Palace will send you money later!"

After saying that, he turned around and supported her: "Master, let's go!"

Bi Luo also stood on the other side of her: "It just so happens that we should go back too!"

So... Tang Wanning was helped out just like that.

In her previous life, she was extremely poor, but Tang Wanning, who just turned around in this life, is still bleeding from her heart.

100 taels of silver, this is too expensive, just a few pots of rose flowers is not a luxury, why is it so expensive!

Seeing Biyue and Biluo's indifferent expressions, she was a little puzzled.

Is there a deviation in my understanding?This 100 taels of silver is not that valuable?

its not right!I don't have so many monthly cases in a month!
"Your Majesty! I have heard that this kind of red rose is very valuable, and it was brought from a foreign country. There are not many plants in total. Fortunately, we went early, and there may not be any if we go late!"

"It's better to go early than to go by chance!" Bi Luo laughed.
