"What a prosperous era, the flowers are also flourishing!"

Li Longji was so proud of Liu Jieyu's words that he nodded heavily. After he saw that a golden-handled knife he was playing with in his hand was just now. He immediately ordered the eunuch standing beside him, "Give this item to Miao Qing!"

Miao Hanye saw Liu Jieyu's words and made his painstaking efforts more prominent. The emperor was happy and rewarded him with a close-up object. He immediately thanked him deeply. Just as he was about to retreat, he saw a little eunuch leading Du Shiyi to the front. Compared with the peony in the flower basket just now, Du Shiyi's bald branch seemed particularly eye-catching. If it weren't for not being able to stay in front of the imperial court without any intention, he wanted to stay and see how Du Shiyi planned to explain this.

Before, when Miao Hanye climbed the tower, the flower basket in his hand was particularly eye-catching. At this moment, Li Longji saw Du Shiyi holding a piece of bare branches in his hand, and frowned. After he gave the ceremony, he asked angrily: "Where is the flower Du Qing explored? Could it be this piece of bald branches?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I am ordered to treasure flowers, but I dare not. I am disturbing the residences of princes, nobles and officials of various families, but I have also visited the famous gardens of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an. But I only saw flowers like brocades and viewers like clouds. Because I only viewed from a distance, I have never played with them in front of me, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. Just when I was unable to make a decision, I only listened to those who said that there was a plum tree in the wilderness of Da'anfang, which was hit by lightning, but it has recovered in a few years. Every year, I bloomed alone in the cold. In winter, the cold wind was bitter, and the flowers were withered, and only they bloomed in the cold. Now, when the flowers were competing for beauty, their flowers had long been hidden. If they were to put the plum blossom aside at the time of treasure, it would be too unfair. Therefore, I dared to present this plum branch to the front of the imperial palace."

When Li Longji learned that it was lightning strike, his expression cleared a little. However, compared to the pleasing peonies in the flower basket just now, this piece of plum branch was really a bit disgusting. So he asked lazily: "What do you think of this plum branch?"

This was the first time Liu Jieyu, who had seen Du Shiyi after the pearl curtain, and as soon as she met, she almost wanted to swallow the culprit who had to surrender to Queen Wang. At this moment, she took a deep breath with a smile on her face, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, although the plum blossoms are blooming in the cold, but now the time for the earth to rejuvenate, it is no longer the time to appreciate the plum blossoms. Du Langjun just broke this branch of plum blossoms, but it was a bit perfunctory! Even when the peony and the cold plum blossoms bloomed together, if someone judged, no one would think that the plum blossoms were better than the peony. What's more, the peony is upright and still shows the atmosphere of the prosperous age."

Seeing Li Longji's face slightly darkened, Du Shiyi looked behind the curtain calmly, and then chanted softly: "The spring in the imperial city is about to twilight, and the carriages and horses are noisy. When we are talking about peonies, we will go with us to buy flowers."

This poem seemed very simple. As Li Longji listened, he couldn't help but feel a little interested. However, Liu Jieyu behind the curtain clenched her fist and her sharp nails pierced into her palm, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

"There is no constant price, and the reward is directly measured. A hundred red flowers are bright, and five bunches of plains are worn. The curtains are raised on the roof, and the fences are weaving next to them. The water is sprinkled with mud and sealed, and the color is still the same."

"This is a kind of peony, but it feels like being there." Li Longji nodded thoughtfully, but Du Shiyi paused slightly before chanting the last few sentences.

"There is a farmer who comes to buy flowers. He bows his head and sighs alone. This sigh is beyond words. A cluster of dark flowers is a poem among ten households."

At the end of the song, Du Shiyi bowed deeply and said, "The beauty of peonies is, since the Queen of Heaven, everyone knows it. It is magnificent and magnificent. It is the king of all kinds of flowers and the crown of flowers, which is naturally a sign of prosperity! However, a bunch of peonies can be spoiled for hundreds of thousands, not to mention that if you are not careful, you will worry about withering. This branch grows from the plum blossoms that strike by thunder, and it will never fade and bloom and bloom, just like the undefeated character of the Tang Dynasty! The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the sword is sharpened by grinding. Only with such a character is the backbone of the prosperous era. Therefore, I respect this plum blossom with Your Majesty!"

Li Longji was finally moved by it and was silent for a long time. He nodded and said, "Du Qing is loyal and straight, I know. Today, although the peony is the king of flowers, he should use this plum as his crown!"

Seeing Du Shiyi thanking and leaving, he never mentioned the word "reward". At this time, Liu Jieyu behind the curtain looked at the emperor's wishes and then quietly came out, but gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Du Shijiulang is just a sensational, why should he follow his words?"

"Don't interrupt such a state affairs!"

Seeing that Concubine Liu lowered her eyebrows, Li Longji stood up with her sleeves, and there was no trace of happiness or anger on her face. Even if she was sensational, Du Shiyi's words today were really upright and hard to refute! What's more, the words of Song Sheng sounded good, and these blunt words were not nice, but they could not be turned a deaf ear.

"Come!"

The response came, but not an ordinary eunuch, but Gao Lishi. Li Longji pondered for a while before he spoke: "I rewarded Ning Brother Qi's brother Shen's brother Xue's four kings Jiannan to burn ten urns of spring, and the two palace maids to reward them for the peony that suited the situation today! As for Du Shijiulang..."

Thinking of Song Jing's former poem "Fu of Plum Blossoms" that was famous all over the world and his character was as noble as plum blossoms, Li Longji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he remembered again the relationship between Yao Chong and Song Jing in the past as his right-hand mansion. After a long time, he ordered: "Go to Yao Chong and Song Jing's mansion, and send Jiannan Shaochun to them two jars."

Gao Lishi stood by and watched the former Jinshi perform his best, but he saw Du Shiyi being so brave that he offered a bald plum. Then he said frankly and cleverly, and he couldn't help but be amazed. At this moment, he seemed to have not seen the blue face of Concubine Liu, and said with a smile: "Don't you all admire Du Shijilang?"

"Last time he asked him to worship Song Jing, today he sent me a bald plum to ruin my scenery. Today I would like to admire him again. I don't know what amazing things he will do!" Li Longji snorted and then said lightly, "Didn't he say he wanted to travel to the northern border town before the provincial examination? Give him a silver seal and let him watch the wind well, and don't come back if he doesn't see it! Forget it, burn the spring of Jiannan and give him a jar!"

Although Gao Lishi was a eunuch, he was well-read in poetry and books. At this moment, he was shocked: "Everyone, this Fengguan can always be an official above the fifth rank..."
