good wife

Chapter 88: Eighteen Phoenix Rings (4)
When the words fell, there was a lot of discussion below.After a while, a young lady came forward and gave a salute: "Dare to ask your mother, but is it called Weeping Willow?"

Concubine Xian smiled and shook her head, "Who else is willing to step forward and give it a try?"

Another lady stepped forward and said, "But it's called Fufeng?"

Jingyi heard the words and saw that it was Bai Min'er! 'Fufeng'?Jingyi couldn't help laughing out loud when she thought of the name she just said.Thanks to her for thinking it out!

Concubine Xian shook her head again.

There was a lot of discussion again during the dinner, and I saw Cui Qianqian next to Jingyi saying: "Yiyi, you must know this flower, go up and try it, if you are right, you can also get that golden step! It is unique in the world Woolen cloth!"

Gu Yu also persuaded: "Yes! Yiyi, mother said that you have a lot of research on flowers and plants, go and try."

This was overheard by Bai Min'er who just came back from the front, she snorted lightly, and said disdainfully: "Hmph! Only by her! Do you know this flower?"

Bai Min'er's voice was already a little shrill, and coupled with the stuffiness in her heart, her voice was subconsciously elevated.Her words fell clearly in everyone's ears.

Displeasure flashed across the Queen's brows, this Min'er is really making trouble for herself everywhere!Originally, the empress regretted making things difficult for Su Jingyi last time.Just thinking about how to get them to dispel that layer of suspicion towards him, this Bai Min'er unexpectedly confronted Su Jingyi again!
As for Concubine Shu, she glanced lightly at the queen, with a flash of complacency in her eyes.Empress, do you want to win over the Pingnan Hou Mansion?It's better to take care of your own backyard of the Bai family first!

At this time, a lady said: "Miss Su, why not try it, last time you were in Pingnan Hou Mansion, you knew a lot of chrysanthemums."

Mrs. Dingguo said with a smile: "Yes, you might as well go up and try it. The left and right are just pictures. If you don't answer correctly, no one will laugh at you."

In fact, Jingyi was still a little moved by that Buyao.She didn't want to wear it herself, but wanted to give it to Gu Shi.At this time, seeing that the ladies also spoke, they glanced at Gu Shi and asked her what she meant.

Gu Shi smiled into her eyes and nodded.Only then did Jingyi get up and walk forward.

Jingyi looked at the pot of chrysanthemums.The petals of this chrysanthemum are slender and drooping on the outside, and the whole bead is pinkish white. According to her visual inspection, the drooping petals on the outside can be as long as thirty centimeters.She thought for a while, looked up at Concubine Xian, and said softly, "May I ask Concubine Xian, is this chrysanthemum called 'Shizhang Bead Curtain'?"

Concubine Xian was startled, and she looked at Jingyi with amazement, "That's right. This chrysanthemum is exactly the 'Shizhang Bead Curtain'! Miss Su really deserves to be the most talented woman in the capital! She is so knowledgeable and versatile!"

Jingyi hurriedly blessed Fushen and said: "Thank you for your praise, I am ashamed to be my servant."

The queen smiled and said: "Okay, this flower is beautiful, and the name is also beautiful. Listen, the ten-foot bead curtain, doesn't it just tell the characteristics of this flower? Hurry up and send this golden step to Miss Su."

Jingyi hurriedly took it with both hands, and saluted the queen and the three before returning to her seat.

The queen saw that she was well-mannered, and she didn't seem to be surprised at all when she got such luxurious and magnificent jewels.
In this way, Concubine Xian and Concubine De took out two prizes each, and continued to guess the name of the chrysanthemum. After less than half an hour, there was only one pearl of chrysanthemum that had not been guessed yet.

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you must be the winner of the last pot of chrysanthemums."

"Oh, the two younger sisters have nothing more to use, so they came to rob the palace?" the queen joked.

Concubine Xian smiled, "Your Majesty, the name of this potted flower is different, and it's most suitable to use your things as a prize."

The queen smiled lightly and said, "So, it's not easy for Ben Gong to say anything more? You have such a mouth, if you want Ben Gong to win, just say it straight, and you still have to go around so many detours."

Concubine Xian smiled lightly and remained silent.

The queen took off an emerald green jade bracelet from Hao's wrist, and at first glance it was the best jade bracelet.This jadeite bracelet is not comparable to that golden step.Since ancient times, it has been often said that gold has a price, but jade is priceless!This jadeite is also the king of jadeites, so the price is naturally high, and with such a pure color, it can be said to be the best among jadeites!Such a bracelet is just something you can meet but not beg for!I'm afraid you can't buy it with 1 taels of silver.

All of a sudden, everyone below was eager to try it, and more than a dozen wives and young ladies had tried it, but they were all wrong.

Jingyi sat on the chair and looked at the pot of chrysanthemums from a distance.Qiu Ju, who was originally one of the Four Gentlemen of Flowers, is now regarded as a prostitute in a brothel, scrutinized wantonly, and even labeled, up for sale!Jing Yi watched these women desecrating Qiu Ju so much, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart.What's the difference between me and Qiu Ju, isn't it because I was valued by these women in my heart?They were also thinking about Su Jingyi's background, upbringing, knowledge, and character.They were all thinking about what kind of marriage she would have in the future?Will it be beautiful?
Jingyi was still here secretly sighing, she felt her sleeves being tugged, she got up quickly, and looked at Cui Qianqian.

"The Empress is calling you." Cui Qianqian lowered her voice.

Jingyi hurriedly organized her thoughts, and walked forward slowly.

Seeing Jingyi coming, the queen asked, "Jingyi, I want to ask you when I announce you to come here, but do you know this chrysanthemum?"

When Jingyi heard this, she took a closer look at the pot of chrysanthemums. This chrysanthemum was golden yellow, with slender petals and curly ends, and the petals were inclined, like a door knocker, one ring after another.Jingyi already knew the name of this flower, she raised her head and met Concubine Xian's smiling eyes, Jingyi quickly lowered her head, as if she was looking at the pot of chrysanthemums.

"Jingyi, what's the matter? But do you know the name of this flower?" The Queen smiled, "I'm still waiting for you to take this prize!"

Jingyi was startled, and then remembered that the queen took out her own jade bracelet as a prize, and she remembered that she met the eyes of Concubine Xian just now, and that expression clearly wanted to guess correctly!After thinking about it, Jingyi finally understood.This emerald bracelet is said to be a lottery, it is clearly taken out on purpose as a reward for himself.Someone must have told her about her performance in the Hou's mansion that day, and she used this to show her favor to herself.As a child, I may not understand the mystery, but Mrs. Gu does!

Jingyi secretly said in her heart, what a deep thought, in this way, it is good to sell to herself, but not to give up the truth, it is really wonderful!
Jingyi looked at Concubine Xian again, at this time, she had no intention of dodging any more.Since the queen intends to show her favor, it is better than being an enemy of her, right?Simply let her wish come true, anyway, I will get a bracelet, not only will I not suffer a loss, but I will also make a profit.
