Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 88

After sitting down, Chu Yan looked at everyone with a smile, and then threw the words to Mu Nianqiu to the beautiful girls present.

"I expected that everyone would come back on time, so the flowers in this place have just been arranged, and I haven't had time to prepare for other things. I didn't expect everyone to come so early, and I was caught off guard." She turned her head to signal Hanzhi and Serving tea in winter.

Shen Xin said with a smile: "Everyone knows that today they are going to pay their respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, so they got up early on purpose, so they made preparations in advance and came earlier."

This is very nice to say, and it is intended to show that the show girls are respectful and in awe of the princess.

But compared to Mu Nianqiu's answer, "I disturbed His Highness enjoying the flowers", this answer is slightly less skillful.

Chu Yan raised her eyes to look at Shen Xin unhurriedly, and curled her lips: "It's a good thing to get up early, but there must be rules in everything, especially in this palace, no more than your own house, you can't do whatever you want, You can do whatever you want. The masters have their rules, and the people below will naturally follow the rules, otherwise wouldn't it be a mess?"

Her words turned Shen Xin's "good intentions" into "unruly". Shen Xin was speechless for a moment, so he could only bow his head and reply respectfully: "I know my mistake, I hope His Royal Highness will make amends."

"Atonement? Why is there such a crime?" Chu Yan smiled slowly, and looked at Shen Xin in astonishment, "I don't blame you, but it's because you just entered the palace, and there are some rules that you don't understand. , so I would like to mention a few points, so as not to make any mistakes in the future, and I will suffer. But when it comes to coming early today, everyone can’t come so early together, right? I know you respect me and fear me, so I also want to know , who came up with this idea?"

Respecting her and fearing her came up with this idea...God knows whether he really respected her and feared her, or changed his ways to harm Mu Nianqiu.

The show girls looked at each other, speechless for a while, Shen Xin was even more stunned, only Mu Nianqiu was calm and calm.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Qianjin Yunsu, the governor of Suzhou Water Transport, suddenly said: "Sister Shen respects Your Highness, and said that we are new to the palace, and we should be more energetic, so I suggest that everyone come earlier. Please."

Shen Xin turned his head to look at her abruptly, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Chu Yan also raised her eyes to look at Yun Su with a half-smile, but found that the other party was smiling slightly, and jokingly said: "Sister Shen respects Her Royal Highness, it's not due to us."

The expression was innocent, as if she really didn't know what Chu Yan meant, and she simply wanted to push Shen Xin out to be praised.

Chu Yan looked at this girl who resembled Xue Baochai as if she had discovered something new, her bright eyes were like clear springs in the mountains, and her smile was bright and charming, she was really a bright pearl.

It's a pity that this kind of thinking seems to be lacking. Everyone has just entered the palace, and she is the daughter of a petty official. She can't compare with Shen Xin and Mu Nianqiu's generation. Now she sells Shen Xin so openly, isn't it? Clearly offending Shen Xin?

Or... did she really think that the princess was just asking which girl respected her master so much?
Either they are stupid, or they want to hurt people and don't think about the consequences at all.

Shen Xin was annoyed by Yunsu's talkativeness, and glanced at her smiling face, the other's eyes seemed as if she had done him a huge favor.

It's really evil!

Shen Xin spat at her hard in her heart, but her face showed a look of panic, she quickly stood up and then bent down to plead guilty: "Your maidservant came to the palace for the first time and didn't know the rules, so she came up with such a bad idea on her own. , ask the Crown Princess to come down."

Chu Yanyun waved her hand calmly: "What sin is the atonement? I have already said what the crime is. Respecting me is a good thing, which shows that you are sensible. But Miss Yun..." She smiled slightly, " You don't take credit, and you are upright, but I like your disposition."

She withdrew a suet white jade bracelet from her wrist, waved to Yunsu, and said with a smile: "I have a relationship with you, and I like your good temperament, so I will give you this bracelet."

Yun Su hurriedly got up and went forward, Chu Yan gently put the jade bracelet on for her, the white jade on the wrist reflected off each other, shining brightly under the sun, not to mention how beautiful it was.

The beautiful girls had different expressions, Yun Su leaned over to express her gratitude, while Chu Yan casually glanced at the expressions of the people present, and noticed that Shen Xin's gentle expression was almost unbearable.

She took a sip from her teacup again with a smile on her face: "Everyone, don't stand still, enjoy the flowers, enjoy the flowers."

It is estimated that everyone's hearts are full of twists and turns at the moment, who is still in the mood to enjoy the flowers?

Miss Yun Er betrayed Shen Xin in exchange for the favor of the Crown Princess, and also got the suet white jade personally rewarded by the Crown Princess. Does this mean that her status will be different in the future?

Shen Xin's intestines are full of regrets. If I knew that I would not be able to pull Mu Nianqiu into the water today, I might as well not come up with this idea. Now that Yunsu has betrayed her, she didn't get it with the princess. Offended Mu Nianqiu.

I was really annoyed at this Yun Su in my heart.

Since entering the palace, seeing her smiling all the time, saying whatever she thought, I thought she was a country girl who didn't know how to restrain herself when she came to the capital.Who knew that with so many evil ideas in his mind, he betrayed her as soon as he came, and gave her a blow.

Even if the crowd had no intention of admiring the flowers, but at least it was the Crown Princess' intention, they all put on a look of interest and began to enjoy the colorful flowers in the courtyard.

The flowers were moved by Chu Yan from the imperial garden a long time ago, and some of them originally existed in the Yong'an Palace. They were carefully raised in the backyard for a long time, and they were not moved out until today.

Colorful, vying for beauty, full of vitality, it is really beautiful to be placed in this courtyard.

Everyone just looked at it perfunctorily at first, but they were a little surprised when they looked at it.Because it is early summer now, but many of the flowers here and there only bloom in spring.

Of course there are hibiscus flowers, June chrysanthemums, and amaranths, but there are also daphne, which only blooms in spring, small and delicate iris, and vibrant calendula.

Chen Xi asked in surprise: "Aren't these flowers only available in spring? How come your Highness will bloom in summer?"

Her voice is soothing and pleasant, just like her impression, flowing slowly, very comfortable.

Chu Yan smiled without saying a word, allowing them to show surprised expressions, full of suspicion, surprised and envious.

You know, there is a course called biology in the 21st century, which can tell you how to control light and temperature, so as to form a greenhouse effect and make the alternation of seasons lose its influence on plants.

The sunshine hours in summer are long and the temperature is higher than in spring. When she ordered people to move these flowers back to Yong'an Palace early in the morning, she specifically instructed the palace people how to grow them.The big reason is that people try to change the existing conditions to spring. For example, the place to grow flowers is deliberately chosen in the forest in the backyard, so that the temperature will be low; another example is that the lighting time must be controlled. Alright, we have to move to the hall when the time is right.

Fortunately, it is not a day or two for palace people to grow flowers. Although this method is quite novel, it is not that they have never encountered it before, but it is not as systematic and perfect as Chu Yan ordered, clearly listing the conditions such as lighting time and temperature. Just come out.

As a high-end traveler, Chu Yan finally realized the beauty of scientific advancement.

Under the amazed eyes, Mu Nianqiu smiled slightly: "Your Highness, taking advantage of the beautiful flowers today, why don't you let everyone show their shame and comment on these flowers with the words of the ancients."

Chu Yan smiled: "Good idea."

Mu Nianqiu is really smart, once everyone's attention is shifted to the flowers, and they are all talking about ancient poems, she can't pick the wrong one even if she wants to.After all, even if what others say is wrong, it is the ancients who are wrong, and it cannot involve myself.

But Chu Yan grinned silently in her heart: You can't make a mistake, can you?Who said she couldn't make a mistake?Is it not easy for a female Ph.D. in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature to find some mistakes in language?

Mu Nianqiu said humbly: "Your servant has little talent and learning, can you attract others first?"

With Chu Yan's approval, she calmly said to the pots of golden and lively sunflowers: "It's clear and rainy in April, and it's clear when Nanshan is in charge. There are no willow catkins blown by the wind, only sunflowers leaning towards the sun. "

This poem is Sima Guang's seven-character quatrains. On the surface, it is plain and unpretentious, but simply talks about the scene of sunflowers blooming towards the sun.

Chu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, lack of talent and learning?This can be regarded as a lack of talent and learning, so what is broad and profound?
The background of Sima Guang's writing of this poem was after Wang Anshi's political reform to express his dissatisfaction with the political reform.In the poem, Sima Guang used the contrast between sunflowers and catkins, implying that he would never sway with the wind like catkins, but would be as unswervingly loyal to the king as sunflowers facing the sun.

Chu Yan smiled lightly, and praised thoughtfully: "The first daughter of the Mu family is different. Not only are there flowers in her poems, but she also has feelings in her heart."

Only Mu Nianqiu and Xie Yanran from Jiangnan Xie's family present had a momentary change in expression. Obviously, there were only three people who understood the deep meaning of the poem. Besides the two of them, the princess also knew this allusion.

Mu Nianqiu used this poem firstly to seek security, and secondly to find out the reality of the Crown Princess.Chu Yan thought that being in the palace since she was a child, and following Zhao Ronghua who had no talent, she shouldn't have much profound attainments in literature, but what was unexpected was that just a quatrain that Mu Nianqiu picked up at random had already been accepted by Chu Yan. Yan heard why.

She paused slightly in her heart, the princess is really not a thing in the pool.

Then it was Chen Xi's turn. Although the daughter of the merchant family had a teacher to teach her knowledge since she was a child, she mostly read "Nv Commandment" by Ban Zhao, or "Internal Training" by Empress Chengzu Renxiao. However, I don't have much contact with such romantic poems and songs.

She thought about it, and chose the one that was the least error-prone, but also the most unpretentious: "The lotus leaves are infinitely green in the sky, and the lotus flowers in the sun are red."

After speaking, everyone present covered their mouths and laughed lightly.

Chu Yan also smiled, shaking her head and said, "We are appreciating flowers and commenting on poems, but Ms. Chen only said a poem with flowers. Where do lotus leaves and lotuses come from in this yard?"

Chen Xi's cheeks were slightly red, but he still lowered his head calmly: "I have no talent, I racked my brains and could only come up with such a poem that has something to do with flowers, which made His Royal Highness and all the sisters laugh."

What are you laughing at? It's better to let everyone laugh than to show off your sharpness and make people jealous. Chu Yan said it's okay, but she has a deeper understanding of this wealthy businessman's daughter.

At first glance, it is not the most eye-catching, but this kind of person must be the one who lives the longest in the harem, and walks steadily forward. You can laugh at her for being stupid or slow, but you will never see her suddenly collapse, because She walked steadily enough, and her background was stable enough.

The following verses are pretty good, not outstanding, but not as far-fetched as Chen Xi's.

Shen Xin looked at the pots of marigolds and said with a smile: "It's not that I prefer chrysanthemums among the flowers, and there are no flowers when all the flowers bloom."

She was originally weak and cowardly, so standing beside the chrysanthemums and uttering such a sentence of Yuan Zhen's literary poem in a gentle manner, it really has a bit of taste.

Unexpectedly, the next real "Lin Daiyu" - Xie Yanran appeared on the stage, and immediately made Shen Xin pale.

She is more beautiful than Shen Xin, but also colder than Shen Xin. She is less aggressive, but more aloof and proud.

The rustling westerly wind is full of plants in the courtyard, and the cold and fragrant flowers are hard to come by.

If I were the Qing emperor in his year, I would bloom together with peach blossoms.

Even Chu Yan couldn't help smiling at this poem, almost wanting to applaud her.

Another way of saying this poem→Chu Yan version analysis:

The westerly wind is rustling and the chrysanthemums are planted in the courtyard.

If Lao Tzu were Emperor Qing, the chrysanthemums should bloom in spring.

That is to say, the chrysanthemums bloom in the cold season, and the author can't help feeling sorry for the untimely blooming of the chrysanthemums. Here, he is ingeniously imagined that he is the god of spring "Qingdi", and he will definitely make the chrysanthemums bloom in spring. Peach blossoms and other fragrances compete for beauty and beauty, and at that time, they will definitely dominate the crowd and lead the coquettish.

This poem not only describes the aloofness and beauty of chrysanthemums from the side, but also highlights Xie Yanran's nobility and freshness.

Chu Yan smiled and glanced at this sickly beauty like a Xizi. She has the style of Daiyu and the talent of Daiyu. She really is a good character!
It's just...By the sunshine, Chu Yan sized up this beauty lightly, and her eyes seemed to be as gloomy as Daiyu's. Although her thin figure stood upright, she inevitably looked a little aloof.

The fate of sister Lin in "Dream of Red Mansions"...doesn't seem so good?
