Palace Concubine Policy: Invincible Queen

Chapter 187 Heartbroken (29)
Dong Xiaowan thought that after entering the palace, she faced the dangers of the palace, like the wind and frost that not only destroyed her body, but also destroyed her heart.Can she also withstand the wind and frost like Qiu Ju?
"Good poetry! Good poetry!" said one, clapping his hands.

Dong Xiaowan turned her head and saw that it was Ouyang Zhekai who came.Dong Xiaowan hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "My servant pays my respects to my lord. I didn't know my lord was here, but I offended my lord, please forgive my sin!"

"Those who don't know are not guilty! Get up!" Ouyang Zhekai said.

"My lord came to the palace so early, I wonder if he has something to do with the emperor?" Dong Xiaowan asked.

"It's nothing serious! It's just that the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, so I came in to greet the Empress Dowager!" Ouyang Zhe Kai paused, and asked, "What is Dong Shidu cutting these flowers for??"

"It's time to change the chrysanthemums in the Qianqing Palace. You know the emperor's temper. If I don't do it myself, the emperor may not like it when he sees it. I still have to do it at that time. Why don't I do it now? It's easier." Dong Xiaowan said with a smile.

"It's Dong Shidu who understands the emperor's mind. It's just that I see the chrysanthemums in Qianqing Palace are so delicate and beautiful every day. Could it be that Dong Shidu comes to cut flowers every day?" Ouyang Zhekai asked.

"My lord is joking! I don't have so much time to do these things! I cut the chrysanthemums in Qianqing Palace half a month ago. Today I think the Double Ninth Festival is coming, so I thought I should change them. That's why I thought to come and cut some chrysanthemums in this imperial garden." Dong Xiaowan said with a smile.

"Ban Yue?! Did you say that the chrysanthemums in Qianqing Palace and Ban Yue have not been replaced? But why are they still blooming so delicately? The chrysanthemums in my house have only been in place for a few days, and the flowers withered. Therefore, the flowers at home, every day The day changes." Ouyang Zhekai asked puzzled.

"That's because the slaves in the prince's family are very diligent, how can they be so lazy! The slaves are lazy because they got the trick. The prince must not tell the emperor, lest the emperor say that the slaves are lazy." Dong Xiaowan said to Ouyang Zhekai shrugged, with a smile on his face.

"The trick?! What trick? Tell me, and let me learn a lot!" Ouyang Zhekai said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not a trick, it's just some experience in growing flowers! Before placing the chrysanthemum in the vase, you should cut off the flowers and leaves at the lower part of the stem that may be immersed in water. Because the chrysanthemum has a long flowering period, it can grow to 7-21 1 days, but the flowers and leaves turn yellow quickly, and the flowers and leaves soaked in water will compete with the flowers for nutrients. In order to make the chrysanthemums bloom for a long time, not only do you need to change the water every day, but you should cut off the water and soak them in water every time you change the water. The root of the chrysanthemum is 1 inch, which can always ensure the smooth flow of the water suction pipe. Chrysanthemums also need certain nutrients in the bottle. Therefore, add [-] teaspoon of sugar. This will make the chrysanthemums bloom beautifully and not easy to wither." Dong Xiaowan said carefully with.

"So there is such a saying! It's the first time I've heard it today, and it has given me a lot of insight."

"This is just some foolish opinion of the servant, and the prince laughed at it." Dong Xiaowan said with her head bowed.
