neighbors with the king

Chapter 360: Brilliant (4)
"Xiao Qingqing, this son helped you, don't forget this son if there are any benefits in the future." Ji Moyan smiled evilly and walked to her side to ask for credit.

"The ancients said that a gentleman does not expect to repay his kindness. I think Ji Shizi should be a gentleman?" Su Qingqing glanced at him and replied softly.

A gentleman is not a gentleman, in fact Ji Moyan doesn't care.However, he has been competing with Li Yuanchu for many years, and he doesn't want to lose to Li Yuanchu in terms of character.

Forget it, just be a gentleman once.

"Of course I am, just joking with you." He replied cheerfully.

As the crowd knelt down at the outer gate, the emperor, queen mother, and empress arrived in a short while.

All the people with the most noble status in the royal family arrived, and all of them didn't even dare to breathe.

"Pingshen." After shouting long live three times, the emperor Longyan smiled, and he could see that he was in a good mood.

Su Qingqing stood up with the flow of people, thinking that the ministers in ancient times were really difficult to get along with.No wonder there are so many people in the moxibustion shop.

The weather was not cold at noon in autumn, and the banquet was held in the garden, surrounded by chrysanthemums, and many ladies shuttled among the flowers, people were more beautiful than flowers.

Su Qingqing started to keep a low profile again and sat on the far side.

Jing Ning is her good sister, so naturally she wants to sit with her.She gave up being with Concubine Hejing and Concubine Shi Zi, and sat beside Su Qingqing, telling Su Qingqing in a low voice that those people were present.

This information is still very useful for Su Qingqing to do business in the future, and she took it seriously in her heart.

The food is placed under the corridor, which looks like a modern buffet, but the food here is very simple, mainly fruits and snacks, and the plates are also served in portions.

If you want to eat, ask the maid or servant around to bring it over.

Hongyi and Banxia also took a portion, and immediately a maid came over with a teapot and served fragrant tea.

"I heard that several rare breeds have been added this year, so Aijia asked the emperor and queen to accompany me to have a look." The queen mother has already put on weight, and she looks like an old Buddha.

"It's newly bred by the minister. I don't know if the grandmother, father and queen will like it?" Shangguan Xu explained with a smile, his face was a little red with excitement.

Su Qingqing was taken aback when she heard her words, she didn't expect that Shangguan Xu was a concubine and also a master at planting flowers and trees.

"Where did she do it?" Jing Ning pouted contemptuously. "At most, she just went over by chance to have a look."

It sounds like she didn't cultivate this flower, Su Qingqing was relieved after a brief surprise.It is also the most indispensable thing in the royal family is all kinds of talents.

"But Shangguan Xu spends a lot of money on flowers every year." After demoting her, Jing Ning told her in a low voice.

"Okay, if a good variety is produced, the family will be rewarded." The Queen Mother was in a very good mood.

"Your child is well-behaved, and you send a lot of rare breeds into the palace every year." The queen also looked at her with a smile.

"This year's Chrysanthemum Banquet has many young ladies from various prefectures." The Queen Mother looked at the girls sitting on the left hand kindly, "Young Master also came quite a few." She looked at the man on the right hand and said.

"Since it's about chrysanthemum appreciation, it's not interesting to just appreciate it. Why don't you let the young people make some poems to cheer everyone up?" Concubine Shu suggested with a smile.The daughter-in-law and son have good faces, and she also has face.

"Okay, the one who gets the first prize, I can promise him an unextraordinary request." It was obvious that the emperor was in a good mood, so he said all these words.

All the young ladies and gentlemen suddenly became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.If he had a golden mouth like the emperor's, it would not only be a kind of honor, but he might even be able to rise to the top of the blue sky.

And the women had already looked at Lin Wang and Ji Moyan with fiery eyes.It was an inevitable look.

Fan Suirou was also surprised, and then secretly cheered up.

Poetry is what she is best at. If she shines in front of so many people today, and wins the attention of the emperor, empress, and queen mother, will she be able to enter Prince Lin's mansion as soon as possible?

"I also invite father, mother and grandfather to take a look at the new green clouds this year." Princess Huai asked someone to send two pots of green chrysanthemums, and saw that the petals of the chrysanthemums were hugging each other with dark green petals, like white clouds. Reminiscent of the beautiful scene of the green wave fairy floating in space, it is pleasing to the eye.

"It turns out that a green variety has been bred, good, and the name is also elegant." The queen mother said happily.

"These two pots are called Lazy Dressing." Shangguan Xu pointed to the two pots of newly bloomed flowers.

"Good name." The emperor smiled and approved.

No, the petals of the chrysanthemums in the two pots are slender and hooked, and they are messy yet revealing elegance, isn't it just like a beauty who just woke up and hasn't had time to make up?

"gorgeous."

"Concubine Huai's name as Beauty Chrysanthemum is really not in vain."

It turns out that Princess Huai still has such a title, Su Qingqing smiled.

"There are rewards." The emperor and the queen mother were happy, and a series of rewards came out.

"My son, thank you." Shangguan frowned brightly.She secretly glanced at her husband, but saw Li Yuanli gave her a look of approval.

She suddenly became more excited.

"It's a beautiful day, King Lin and Shizi Ji are here, today's flower viewing banquet must be full of masterpieces. The emperor will reward you, and if you do well, so will the Ai family." The Queen Mother said with a smile, her eyes shot at everyone. "All the children of the fourth-rank officials' families can participate in the competition."

Don't look at the queen mother who looks like Maitreya Buddha, Su Qingqing will not treat her like a little cat.Since ancient times, being able to survive in a place like the harem that eats people without spitting out their bones will definitely not be a soft persimmon.

However, the conditions offered by the emperor are very attractive, and she really wants to give it a try.It's a pity that she doesn't seem to have this opportunity.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I have something to say." Shangguan Hui stood up.

"Speak out and listen." The queen looked at her and said.

"The owner of the Su family is also here. She is smart and has created so many good things for Daqing. She must be a person with a blue heart, wisdom and talent. Can you ask the Queen Mother to show her grace and allow her to participate. Otherwise, others If you win the top spot, you will lose the conversation." Shangguan Hui explained with a smile.

"Su Qingqing is here?" Both the emperor and the queen mother were taken aback.

"The girl is here." Su Qingqing couldn't keep a low profile anymore, she went out and saluted politely.

"Are you Su Qingqing?" The queen mother looked at her and asked curiously.

"Yes, Minnv is Su Qingqing." Su Qingqing replied calmly.

"Did you come up with those cosmetics?" The Queen Mother stared at her, not hiding the curiosity in her eyes.

"Yes. Minnv is just a wild doctor." Su Qingqing replied modestly.
