Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 256 The King of Flowers
Empress Lin is a true flower lover, otherwise she would not agree with Li Yanjun and the others to hold such a flower show.

Seeing the famous flowers and plants carefully selected by the two female officials, Empress Lin was filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.

Holding the maid's hand, she stood up from her seat, approached, and looked at the flowers and plants in turn.

The first one is a white-haired old man in his sixties and seventies, holding a pot of Clivia in his hand, which is of excellent appearance.

Orchids are gentlemen among flowers, Empress Lin has always favored orchids, the pot of red plain orchids that Ning Xianxian sold to Li Yanjun last time is still on the table in her bedroom.

The pot of Clivia in the old man's hand is particularly strange and lonely.

"Caomin, this pot of Clivia is dedicated to the empress." The old man was quite sensible, seeing the bright eyes of this graceful and dignified empress, he immediately knelt down, holding the flowerpot with both hands above his head.

Empress Lin smiled slightly and said, "The old man will wait for a while, and wait for Bengong to finish watching."

After finishing speaking, she moved her lotus steps lightly and walked towards the next person.

The next gardener is an elegant middle-aged man, wearing a straw hat and straw sandals, quite like a legacy.

What he held in his hand was a pink chrysanthemum, blooming like a lotus, quite magnificent.

"Are there chrysanthemums in this season?" Empress Lin was a little surprised.

The elegant middle-aged man nodded and smiled: "My lady, the habit of this chrysanthemum is to bloom in autumn. According to its habit, the grasslanders reduce the time of sun exposure every day, and imitate the sunrise and sunset in autumn. The chrysanthemum thinks that in autumn, it will naturally bloom. gone."

Empress Lin was very happy when she heard that: "Okay, it's really exquisite."

The man said with a smile: "Caomin's chrysanthemum is called Taizhen Mixiao, and it is dedicated to the empress."

Yang Taizhen is a well-known beauty, and this elegant middle-aged man can be regarded as a compliment to the empress's beauty.

Empress Lin smiled and moved to the next person.

The next one was also an old man, and he brought a pot of narcissus.

Narcissus is known as Lingbo Fairy, and the petals of this narcissus in the old man's hand are pure white dotted with bright red, and it is even more fragrant, so it can be called a rare alien species.

Empress Lin looked at it fondly for a long time before she reluctantly walked to the next one.

The next one is Ding Cha.

Although Ding Cha claims to be the number one flower grower in Kyoto, but after all, he is young and belongs to the younger generation. It is the first time to compete with flower growers from other places, and he is still a little nervous.

Holding the flowerpot in his hand, he said cautiously and shyly, "This is a two-color peony cultivated by Caomin himself, dedicated to the empress."

Empress Lin looked at the peony in his hand, and said with a smile: "The peony has always been called the prime minister of flowers. You can cultivate two colors at a young age, which is very good. One day, you will definitely be able to outshine the blue and surpass the blue." Your father's achievement."

Everyone showed a look of admiration and envy.

After hearing this, Ding Cha felt grateful in his heart.

The empress said so, which means that she already knew about the three-color peony.

At this time, she didn't mention it at all, which means that although she loves flowers, she will never get them by force.

The Queen's generosity made Ding Cha both ashamed and moved.

Empress Lin saw the emotion in his eyes clearly, and walked to the next person without saying anything.

Next to Ding Cha is Ning Xianxian.

Empress Lin saw that it was her, and recalling the content of the conversation yesterday, half of the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.

Then when she looked down and saw the half-budded green flower bud, her eyes suddenly lit up.

The petals are like the finest emeralds, crystal clear, layer upon layer, elegant and magnificent.

Empress Lin looked at this flower, and couldn't help but think of an ancient book she read when she was a child.

She asked with some uncertainty: "Could it be that this is Dou Lu, the rumored green peony?"

There was a smile in Ning Xianxian's eyes: "My lady is really knowledgeable. That's right, this is the green peony."

The rest of the gardeners looked at Ning Xianxian's hand in shock.

"Ah, so that's the green peony!"

"It's the first time I've seen it. Before, I thought the little girl was holding a cabbage..."

"Idiot, who dares to take a piece of cabbage to fool the empress? Unless she is tired of work!"

Not only the gardeners were talking, but even the ladies inside and outside the gazebo were whispering to each other.

Green peony, many people don't even know that there is such a species of green peony in this world, let alone have seen it.

That's why those gardeners were sneering at Ning Xianxian in their hearts.I thought she brought a pot of unknown flowers.

Who knew, it turned out to be a green peony!

Those who had ridiculed before felt their cheeks burning.

Empress Lin stroked the petals of the peony slowly, and said with a smile, "This is the first time I have seen a green peony, and it really lives up to its reputation."

A lady couldn't help but said: "In my opinion, among the flowers this time, this green peony, which is beautiful and fragrant, is also the leader."

Empress Lin glanced at her lightly.

The noble lady quickly lowered her head: "In the end, it's up to the empress to decide."

Empress Lin let go of the peony, walked slowly to the next person, and said, "I think the two-color peony of Dingcha is also very good."

The crowd was busy agreeing.

"There are so many exotic flowers and plants, it's really hard for me to decide." Empress Lin sighed a little bit embarrassed, "Why don't you let the flower growers tell you why your flowers are better than others. "

Several gardeners looked at each other.

After a while, the old man who touched Clivia took a step forward and said: "The grass people think this Clivia is better than others. This Clivia is a gentleman among flowers, just like a lady."

This wave of flattery is slipping.

Who dares to say that he took the wrong shot?
However, some people jumped out and said, "Grandpa, do you mean that if the empress does not choose your flower as the leader, the empress will not be of high moral character?"

Empress Lin frowned when she saw the talking girl.

The old man was anxious: "You little girl, why are you so casually slandering others?"

"If you don't mean that, then why are you so anxious?" Ning Xianxian said softly and unhurriedly, "Of course orchids are good, but they are just gentlemen, so how can they be compared to hermits?"

The middle-aged man holding the chrysanthemum couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

However, Ning Xianxian's words were not finished: "People say that the great hermit lives in the city, and the hermit who avoids people is naturally inferior to the prime minister who lives above the temple."

Ding Cha held the peony, known as the prime minister among flowers, and was a little dazed.

Did it come back to him?

Empress Lin sneered, "Next, shouldn't you talk about yourself?"

Ning Xianxian immediately said: "This peony plant of Minnv is known as the king of flowers. What do you think, who should be better?"

Empress Lin: "..."

Everyone: "..."

After all, it still abducted herself.
