One Four Two Phoenix Wood 2
When Jingsu returned to the palace, he saw that the front yard was very lively. Three eunuchs were shoveling soil in the southeast direction of the yard. Just when he felt strange, a group of people came over and worked together to carry a strong tree. On the tree
It was full of bright red flowers, which were really bright and eye-catching. This was the first time Jingsu had seen them.
Then a eunuch who looked like a steward saw her and ran to her to say hello, "This servant is Xiao Zhuozi from the flower room. I have transplanted this poinciana tree to the empress' palace according to the emperor's order."
Jingsu looked at the tree with tightly knitted flowers, and Xiao Zhuozi babbled: "Mother, maybe you don't know that this poinciana tree is a rare thing. There is only one like this in the whole country of Mo. It was brought to you by foreign envoys."
It is cultivated from saplings, and only one of them survives. This tree has another advantage. It has a broad crown, which is perfect for shade in hot summers."
Jingsu smiled and said, "Just do whatever the Emperor tells you."
"Yes, I understand." Xiao Zhuozi responded loudly, and ran away again, instructing the eunuchs below to carry the poinciana tree into the Furong Palace. He only heard him scolding from time to time: "Keep the snacks, this tree is precious and precious.
, the emperor said, if a flower falls, he will chop off a person’s head, did you hear that, please pay attention!”
A group of people did not dare to speak. They carried the poinciana tree into the palace like a jewel. They did not dare to let go when they reached the place where the hole was dug. They continued to carry it until the tree was planted intact and buried.
After pouring the soil and watering it, I breathed a sigh of relief.
People in the palace had already heard the noise and gathered to watch the fun. They were very happy to see this tree with brightly colored flowers. They pointed and sighed that this tree was a new addition to the scenery in Furong Palace.
Such a big movement had already attracted the attention of the people in the palace nearby. Many people gathered around the entrance of Furong Palace and looked inside. Some people stood on the palace wall to look. There were many new things in the palace, and this was the first time such a tree had been seen.
See, after a while, this matter spread throughout the palace. Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Furong Palace had a new tree that was rewarded by the emperor, called Poinciana, with an impressive name and beautiful flowers.
Soon, more and more people gathered. Later, news came from Jingui Palace. Shu Guifei also led Zi Wen over to join in the fun. From a distance, she saw a few red flower branches showing in the front yard of Furong Palace, and she smiled on her face.
Said: "This flower is indeed beautiful. By the way, what is the name of this flower?"
Zi Wen, who was following him, hurriedly replied: "I heard someone said it's called the Phoenix tree."
"Poinciana, Poinciana," Shu Guibi repeated twice in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice, "It's a good name." After that, she turned around and returned to the palace. Zi Wen could never guess what her master was thinking.
He glanced at the beautiful phoenix flower with nostalgia again, and followed her back to Jingui Palace.
I thought that this matter would be over at this point, but soon someone from the Internal Affairs Office came again, saying that they had ordered a swing to be set up under the poinciana tree according to the emperor's order. Jingsu still said the same thing, "What did the emperor say?"
Just do whatever you want." The eunuchs then let go.
About half an hour later, the steward came in and said that it was ready and asked Concubine Li to take a look at it. But if there was anything that needed improvement, they would correct it immediately.
Jingsu put down the book in his hand and walked outside the hall to take a look. He couldn't help but be startled. Under the dazzling phoenix tree, a particularly unique swing was set up. The thick native tree trunks were formed into a multi-faceted triangular shelf, with a
tied to a log
With two thick hemp ropes, a thick piece of wood is hung up, covered with brocade embroidered with phoenix flower patterns. The best thing is that there are also silk flowers made of gauze tied between the hemp ropes. The workmanship is exquisite, almost the same as phoenix wood.
The flowers blooming above are exactly the same.
Even Jingsu was stunned by such ingenious thinking.
Li Mo couldn't help but shout out, "Wow, what a beautiful swing."
Lian Yaoxi was also moved. She turned her head and looked at Jingsu. Such delicate thoughts must have come from the emperor's instructions. I wonder if Concubine Li... would express it?
Jingsu's joy was not shown on her face. She just smiled lightly and waved away the people, "You guys, step aside." The eunuch in charge raised his eyes and glanced at her in surprise, and gave her a thousand blows.
Backed off.
Yao Xi hurriedly dismissed the people from Furong Palace who had gathered together.
Jingsu turned around and entered the bedroom, still holding the book from before and started reading.
When Yao Xi saw it, she could only sigh secretly, retreat to the dining room, make a few special cakes, and serve them to her.
Jingsu may like these two things, and she is not stupid. She naturally understands that these are the emperor's instructions, but the more so, the harder it is for her to accept. The relationship between them is more like a transaction,
If one party in a transaction treats the other party unnecessarily, it will only make the sufferer feel inexplicable panic.
Fresh ice cubes, poinciana trees, unique swings...
He still wanted to torture her, make others see her as if she was infinitely beautiful, and arouse the unanimous hatred of the concubines. In this way, even if he didn't take action himself, there would still be people who wanted to get rid of her.
Killing with a borrowed knife was a very common tactic in the palace.
The news that the Furong Palace got a new poinciana tree soon spread to the Peony Palace. At that time, the queen was picking out several styles of clothing materials. Since entering the Peony Palace, she has paid more and more attention to her appearance.
The most unique thing is that the materials must be good, the workmanship must be fine, and the style must be noble, but these must not be neglected.
Dongqing got the news and came in to reply, saying: "Your Majesty, there are rumors in the palace right now that there is a new tree in Furong Palace."
The queen didn't stop, rummaging through it without paying attention, "It's just a tree, there's nothing special about it."
Dongqing paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. They all say that this tree is called, called,"
"What's your name! Hesitant!" The queen gave her a look of distaste.
Holly gritted her teeth and blurted out: "Phoenix tree."
The queen held a piece of fine material in her hand tightly, as if in disbelief: "Tell me, what is the name of that tree?"
"Poinciana."
"Tsk," the fine material was torn apart by the queen's bare hands, making a rough crunching sound, which also hurt her heart. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and she threw away the broken material in her hand and stroked it.
She stroked her temples and smiled, but the smile was like a mask shattered on her face, leaving only incomplete parts. "What a poinciana tree. This is the first time I have heard of it. Let me go and take a look."
That is to say, the queen did not enter the Furong Palace after all. She was just walking on the palace road. From a distance, she could see the red flower climbing out of the wall. It was so red and so bright. In this deep palace with glazed tiles,
They don’t want to lose any of their color, they are really beautiful flowers.
