Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 93 Folding Flowers

   "Qian'er is here." King Wei greeted Qi Qiong with a smile and spoke for the first time after entering the garden.

  Qi Qiong concealed his astonishment, and responded appropriately: "I see this cluster of green chrysanthemums blooming very well, so I'll give a reward. Is my cousin here to visit the concubine Jing?"

   "Yeah, I haven't seen Mother Concubine for some days. I heard from the palace officials that Mother Concubine and Concubine Zhuang were viewing flowers at Cuijinxuan, so I came here." King Wei said, calmly looking at the sisters of the Lin family beside Qi Qiong.

  The first thing he noticed was Lin Hao.

   When he was at Qinglu Temple, Lin Hao's words "it might rain in a while" aroused his curiosity. Later, it really rained, which made him even more mysterious about this girl.

   King Wei would inevitably pay attention to those who aroused his curiosity.

   It was early winter. Lin Hao was wearing an apricot jacket, a smoky blue pleated skirt, and a pair of transparent emerald green drop-shaped emerald earrings naughty touching her fair cheeks, adding a bit of liveliness to the beautiful and unparalleled girl.

   What caught the attention of King Wei was not these, but the eyes of the other party.

   In those bright eyes, there is inquiry and curiosity.

   King Wei was a little amused. It turned out that when he thought the second girl Lin was strange, the second girl Lin was also curious about him.

   This is a different emotion he rarely sees along the way.

   Looking at King Wei up close, Lin Hao was a little surprised that King Wei was thinner than when he was at Qinglu Temple.

   How long has it been since I lost weight?

   King Wei still looks like a blown ball in people's eyes. He is so fat that it is not obvious to lose ten pounds. But Lin Hao had seen the appearance of King Wei losing weight, because he knew that he would lose weight, and he was curious how a person who grew from a small fat to an adult would become a handsome man from a ball whose facial features were squeezed out of shape. Others are sharp.

   King Wei's Yuguang landed on Lin Chan, stunned for a moment.

   He saw curiosity in the eyes of the second girl Lin, and calmness in the eyes of the first girl.

   Look at him with the kind of calm that is no different from looking at other people.

   He didn’t force himself to cater to him because he was a prince, nor did he dislike him because of his obesity.

   This made King Wei suddenly feel unspeakable.

   Qi Qiong is wary.

   King Wei was so close to her, didn't he see the beauty of Sister Chan and Ah Hao?

   This is not possible.

   "Cousin, let's go, Concubine Jing must be very happy to see you."

   "Then you can play, I'm over." King Wei nodded slightly and turned to leave.

  The purpose of his appearance in the garden is self-evident, and it is inappropriate to chat with his cousin for too long.

  The King of Wei walked in the direction of Cui Jinxuan unhurriedly, and when he met an exceptionally beautiful lady, he showed a smile, which caused the beauty to turn pale.

   King Wei's heart was cold, but he walked into Cui Jin Xuan with a smile on his face.

  The laughter of the ladies stopped.

  The ball is here!

   The moment he saw King Wei, there were a few wives who cared more about interests than their daughters' happiness and were almost shaken.

   is really too fat, especially from the perspective of looking at his son-in-law!

   King Wei still had some interest in teasing and intimidating noble girls, and King Wei didn't even bother to give a look to the wives who wanted to be his mother-in-law but also thought he was fat.

   He moved to say hello to Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhuang.

   Concubine Jing looked at her son and said in surprise, "I haven't seen you for a few days, my son has lost weight."

   Ladies: "…"

   King Wei was moved.

   It was the mother and concubine who felt bad for him, so she was so observant.

   He did lose weight.

   He also tried dieting before, except that his eyes were black from hunger, but it didn't help. He didn't expect to take the decoction according to the prescription provided by Yang Zhuangyuan with the idea of ​​​​trying it temporarily, and the stubborn weight finally changed.

  If there is no such thing as choosing a concubine, King Wei is actually in a very good mood recently.

   He glanced over the speechless expressions of the ladies, and sneered secretly.

   Now I think he is fat, and sooner or later there will be a day when these people regret.

  King Wei had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, without revealing the slightest bit on his face, and accompanied the two empresses to talk and laugh for a while.

   At this time, all the ladies in the garden who enjoyed the flowers received chrysanthemums from the second concubine.

  The chrysanthemums were handed over by the maids personally. Forty-nine noble ladies, each one had one, or different varieties or colors, and no two were the same.

  What Lin Hao got was a purple chrysanthemum, what Lin Chan got was a little red lip, and Qi Qiong, the little county master, also got a pink lotus.

   Qi Qiong suddenly felt relieved.

   The second concubine gave chrysanthemums to the noble daughter, which must have something to do with the selection of concubine by King Wei.

   Although she didn't know the specific situation, she could speculate that the noble girls who obtained the precious breeds were favored by the second concubine, implying that the King of Wei chose from these noble girls.

   And what Lin Hao and Lin Chan got were just ordinary chrysanthemums, obviously they were not considered by the second concubine.

  It's okay, okay, Sister Chan and Ah Hao are safe.

  The little county lord relaxes quickly.

  At the reminder of the palace staff, the ladies put chrysanthemums in their hair and returned to Cuijinxuan.

   Concubine Zhuang smiled as soon as she saw it: "Young is good, it's more beautiful than a flower."

  Lin Haoyi wanted to have a huge chrysanthemum on his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

   How did Concubine Zhuang say "people are more delicate than flowers" without changing her face?

   Fortunately, the goal of the royal family can be guessed from the chrysanthemums given, and she and her sister will be able to leave the palace safely as long as they hold the big chrysanthemum for a while.

  Lin had a good-looking attitude, and lowered his eyes in front of the invisible man.

   When Concubine Zhuang praised the ladies, King Wei silently swept over the big chrysanthemums on the ladies' heads.

   has long passed the qi. Today, four people will be selected from the dozens of noble ladies at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, and then the emperor will decide. But just now, Concubine Jing stuffed a small note into King Wei's hands without anyone noticing. The note had ten names of chrysanthemums written on it, and the lady wearing the corresponding chrysanthemum was the candidate that Concubine Jing was optimistic about.

   Forty-nine noble ladies, some of them are the small county masters who are not easy to invite, and a dozen or so are the Lin Hao sisters who make up the number, and the remaining more than 30 people are the second concubine who think they are suitable for the position of Wei Wangfei. Concubine Jing coldly watched the reactions of the ladies and girls of the various houses, and then selected ten people from more than thirty people.

Green clothes and red clothes, Phoenix Zhenyu, Xuezhu Hongmei... There are ten noble ladies wearing famous products. What King Wei has to do is to select four people who have good eyesight from these ten people, which can also be regarded as giving King Wei a certain freedom. .

  The King of Wei glanced over the lady wearing the famous chrysanthemum with a serious look, but he didn't remember any of them.

   Nothing to remember, choose a wife who both dislikes him and wants to cling to his wife to block him?

   Concubine Zhuang was still talking about the scene, Concubine Jing felt that she was almost done, and glanced at King Wei.

   King Wei nodded slightly.

   Concubine Jing raised the corners of her lips, knowing that her son was optimistic.

   "Seeing the little girls with their hairpins so pretty, I'm a little envious." Concubine Jing smiled.

   Concubine Zhuang got a hint and smiled at King Wei: "Did you hear, Wang Ye, why don't you hurry up and pick some flowers for your mother-in-law?"

  The King of Wei got up and went to the garden, stopped and walked, and broke a chrysanthemum.

   looked different from the palace servants behind the Wei King.

   The chrysanthemums folded by King Wei are not among the ten chrysanthemums!

  Because it's so common, I can't even remember which lady wore it.

  The King of Wei looked calm, and quickly folded four chrysanthemums.

   The face of the palace man changed: "Your Highness—"

   King Wei glanced at the palace servants and said coldly, "Moduozui."
