Chapter 524 Green Radish and Clivia
Chapter 524 Green Radish and Clivia
In Changchun Palace, Concubine Xian was tending flowers and plants in the courtyard, Xiahou Yu stood aside and occasionally helped out, mother and son were talking softly, Gong'e eunuch was standing not far away to wait, it was a kind mother and son filial piety.

"I remember the last time I came here, this green radish has not grown so tall, and now it seems that it is about to be transplanted." Xia Houyu said with a smile, his voice was warm, and he felt like a spring breeze.

"This plant has grown better and better recently." Concubine Xian glanced at the green radish that Xia Houyu mentioned, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen it grow so much in the past, but I didn't expect it to grow more and more gratifying recently."

"The weather is damp, so it must be suitable for the growing environment of the green radish, otherwise it wouldn't grow so fast." Xia Houyu stretched out his hand and fiddled with the leaves of the green radish.

"Yeah, among the green plants in the yard, only this green radish is growing well, and the others don't grow very well." Concubine Xian also fiddled with the leaves of the green radish. It's getting better and better."

Concubine Xian's eyes were full of kindness, she seemed to like the appearance of this green radish very much.

"The weather is getting colder, and the rain will gradually recede," Xia Houyu said, picking up the watering pot beside him. "The rain is less, and it grows well. More people will come to water it in the future. The growth of this green radish will be even better."

"That's not it, my Changchun Palace, maybe I will only reward it in the future." Concubine Xian shook her head with a smile.

"Now that it's growing well, I can only appreciate it," Xia Houyu smiled and put down the watering pot, "I'm afraid the green plants next to you are going to be in a hurry. Your attention has been snatched away. If they are spiritual, they must be unhappy." .”

"So what if you're not happy, my concubine is old and has limited energy." Concubine Xian picked up the pruning scissors beside her and trimmed off the yellowed leaves on the green radish.

"However, this is also good. You can appreciate the green radish first, and it won't be too late to reward the other ones when they grow slowly." Xia Houyu pointed to another yellowed leaf on the green radish, and Concubine Xian also cut it off, "Then Clivia, you have been raising it for quite some time."

"No, it seems that it was sent over years ago. The Clivia grows slowly, and I don't know when it will grow well." Concubine Xian said with a sigh.

"I met a friend recently. He has some accomplishments in growing flowers and grass, but he is best at growing green radishes. I don't know if he knows how to raise Clivia. After a few days, I will see him. Ask for my mother and concubine." Xia Houyu comforted with a smile.

Concubine Xian turned her head to look at him, and smiled, "Of course that's good, if you are proficient, it will really help Concubine Mother, but if you are not proficient, then forget it, grow slowly, Concubine Mother is not in a hurry."

"It's for my son's sake." Xia Houyu nodded and said.

"Hey, I'm tired after standing for a while." Concubine Xian put down the pruning scissors, "The emperor offered some tea a while ago, and you just came, try it before leaving."

"Okay." Xia Houyu nodded, and helped Concubine Xian into the main hall of Changchun Palace.

The mother and son were drinking tea and talking in the Changchun Palace. Unexpectedly, Xia Houzan would come over, and the eunuchs outside the palace sang, "The emperor is here!"

Xia Houyu and Concubine Xian rushed out of the palace to meet him.

Xia Houzan entered the hall and saw incense burning on the incense table, two cups of tea on the table, and a stove beside it warming water, he couldn't help laughing, "You two will enjoy it, I haven't had Tonger for a long time Made tea."

Tonger is the boudoir name of Concubine Xian. Her full name is Gu Qiutong. She used to make good tea when she was in the palace. When Xia Houzan was still a prince, whenever he was in a bad mood, he always loved her.

Gu Qiutong has always been very quiet, so quiet that Xia Houzan often can't think of her, but whenever something happens, he always likes to avoid her.

There are very few women who are quiet and do not compete for favor, but Gu Qiutong caught Xia Houzan's eyes.

"Please sit down, Your Majesty, and I will make tea for you." Gu Qiutong's cheeks were blushed. Although she is over middle-aged, she is well-maintained, and she is quite pleasing to the eye when she is shy.

"Okay." Xia Houzan smiled happily, walked to the table and sat down.

Xia Houyu wanted to ask to leave, but Xia Houzan spoke before him, "Yu'er, sit down too."

For this honest eldest son, Xia Houzan has always been indifferent, neither likes nor dislikes, and the father and son rarely talk to each other on weekdays.

"Yes." Xia Houyu sat on the side in a well-regulated manner.

Whatever Xia Houzan asked, he would answer, most of which were about matters in the court, Xia Houzan didn't notice it for a while, and Xia Houyu's answers, although not very precise, could always make him listen comfortably.

Unknowingly, the father and son chatted for a while.

Gu Qiutong made tea with a smile on the side, quietly as if in the background, watching his son answering questions with the emperor with a smile on his lips, it could be seen that the emperor was in a good mood.

"That's right," Xia Houzan nodded with a smile, "I've improved a lot."

"My son is terrified." Xia Houyu bowed his head hastily.

"I praise you, what are you afraid of, your temperament should change." Xia Houzan shook his head, his eldest son is too honest and timid, I really don't know who he looks like.

Xia Houzan turned her gaze to Gu Qiutong, who lowered her head meekly.

Probably follow her.

Xia Houzan sighed in his heart, that's all, how can everyone be clever, it happens that Xia Houyu's qualifications are mediocre, and it is enough to be an idle prince in the future.

For the crown prince, Xia Houzan never considered him.

From this point of view, Xia Houyu is not a bad thing to be honest.

Talking about the trivial things in life, Xia Houzan rarely relaxes, no matter who he is facing, he is tense, only when he comes to Concubine Xian, he can relax, because he knows her temperament of not fighting or grabbing .

Therefore, Xia Houzan was very relieved.

------

In the evening, when the lights came on, the west market in the capital was closed, and the east market was just getting lively.

Singing and dancing are peaceful, wine tricks are floating.

Restaurants and restaurants everywhere are also bustling. Most of the wealthy businessmen go out at night. Most of them are business contacts, eating, drinking and punching. What's more, they always need the company of young and beautiful girls to negotiate.

Xiahou changed into a rich man's attire and stopped outside a Goulan courtyard.

This courtyard is called Chunfeng Pavilion, shoulder to shoulder with Zuihonglou, Xia Houxian was invited to come here today, he looked up at the women standing on the railing, and couldn't make any waves in his heart.

Since he made up his mind to inherit the throne and regained Rongli, Xiahoulian swore that from now on, as long as there is only one person in Rongli, he will not touch the other women.

However, the two who invited him here today insisted on staying here, saying that they had a surprise for him, so Xia Houxian naturally couldn't shirk it, and entering the brothel doesn't mean that he must sleep with a girl.

Today, he wants to be Liu Xiahui who can sit still.

Liao Pao stepped into the door, and the old bustard's eyes lit up, and hurried out to greet her, "Oh, my lord, I haven't come for a while!"

Xia Houlian didn't even look at the old bustard, but only looked around at the people in the hall, since he was invited to come, he should wait for him in the hall.

"My lord?" Seeing that she was ignored, the old bustard called out again without being discouraged.

Suddenly, Xia Houjian was patted, and then a voice sounded behind him, "Sanlang."
