"What a pity for such a beautiful flower!" sighed the Queen Mother. 【 】

"Yes!" The concubine echoed.

"It's a pity!" Concubine Chun and the others were also very sorry.

At this moment, Concubine Jia's gaze narrowed slightly, and she took a step forward and said: "Empress Dowager, I heard that although the flowering period of this month's beauty is short, it can bloom for two hours, somehow it withered now! "

The emperor looked at Concubine Jia, although he was still smiling, but his eyes were cold: "Concubine Jia, the empress sent someone to invite everyone to enjoy the flowers after the flowers bloomed, and after going back and forth, the calculation is almost done!"

"Your majesty, it doesn't seem to take an hour to go back and forth!" Concubine Jia said softly, as if she didn't see the anger hidden in the emperor's eyes.

The noble concubine looked at Concubine Jia, a flash of approval flashed in her eyes, and then she said: "Sister Jiafei is very right, why such a precious flower withered in less than an hour, it's a pity, sister queen, what do you think?"

The queen was also caught off guard, and it stands to reason that the flower shouldn't have withered at this time, she glanced at Wei Ning'er and Ruoyan, then took a step forward, looked at the queen mother and said with a smile: "Mother, it's the first time I've seen this flower, son I still don't fully understand its habits, and the maids have used methods to make it bloom in the daytime, so it is possible that the flowering period will be shortened!"

Seeing that the flowers withered, the Empress Dowager felt that it was a pity, but she didn't care. She gently took the Empress's hand and said with a smile: "The Empress is absolutely right!"

The trace of gloom on the emperor's face was also swept away, and he said loudly: "Today, the empress has shown everyone something new, and they should be rewarded."

"My concubine thanks the emperor!" The queen said with a slight blessing.

"Hahaha..." The emperor's laughter echoed in the hall.

But the imperial concubine had a gloomy expression on her face. She couldn't help but glared at Concubine Shu. Shu Concubine's eyes shrank slightly in fright, her face full of horror, but she couldn't help but glance at Ruoyan. What they agreed to do last night?

At this moment, Concubine Chun was a little surprised and said: "Empress Dowager, this concubine looks at how the leaves of this flower are about to wither."

Everyone's eyes fell on the three potted flowers on the table again.

Naturally, Wei Ning'er and Ruoyan saw it too, the fine sweat on Wei Ning'er's forehead couldn't stop, she thought to herself, what's going on?

And Ruoyan was even more nervous, sweating all over.

"This is so strange. Although my concubine doesn't understand flowers and plants, my sister Concubine Xian does. Sister, look at what's wrong with this flower!" The imperial concubine smiled and looked at Concubine Xian beside her.

"The concubine's sister is absurd, the concubine has been allergic to pollen recently, so it's inconvenient to go to see it, please forgive me!" Concubine Xian laughed.

"Empress Dowager!" The noble concubine leaned forward slightly, looking at the Empress Dowager, waiting for her will.

The queen mother frowned slightly, although this flower is rare, it is still a flower, if it fails to bloom, it will bloom again, so she didn't take it to heart.

But she saw that the noble concubine and others had been holding her back, and she also felt that today's incident was a bit strange, so she wanted to see who was doing it.

"Qiu Chan, go and have a look!" The Queen Mother said in a deep voice, looking at Qiu Momo beside her.

"Yes!" Mother Qiu replied, and carefully inspected the three pots of flowers, from the flowers, leaves to the soil in the pots.

Ruoyan saw that Mother Qiu had put a little dirt on her mouth, her heart was in her throat, and her hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the soil is very salty, it must have been watered with salt water!" Mother Qiu said respectfully.

"Salt water?" The queen mother was a little confused.

"My lady, if the flowers and plants are properly watered with some salt water and sugar water, it will not only prevent insect damage, but also make the branches and leaves flourish. However, if you water too much or put too much salt and sugar in the water, the flowers and branches will quickly wither. !" Qiu Momo is indeed an old man who has served in the palace for many years, and she cannot hide these things from her.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything when she heard the words, but looked at the Empress. The Empress also had a look of astonishment on her face, then she turned her head and looked at Wei Ning'er and Ruoyan, a little annoyed: "Tell me what's going on here?"
