Chapter 104: Shi Liyuan's Vinegar

Night Wen Yan smiled, and stepped inside. 。Crossing the threshold, going around the screen wall, passing through the front courtyard, walking through the flower hall, and crossing a small bridge. 。He...Because Ye Wen came, Yanhuagong will plant flowers.

This season, only the kumquat blossoms. Lian Shi even took the palace maids from Yan Hua Palace for a walk in the imperial garden's kumquat orchard. She uprooted every single kumquat tree with its roots, completely clearing the entire orchard.

Turning back, they once again cultivated a barren patch on the top of Yanhua Palace, preparing to create a garden belonging to Yanhua Palace.

Ye Wen was very good at planting flowers and trees. After all, her spiritual power was derived from flowers. Ever since she could remember in her previous life, she had been planting flowers with her grandfather.

Grandpa once told her that flowers were your lifeline, so wherever you are, there must be flowers. Even if it's not for emergencies, your own spiritual energy needs the nourishment of flowers.

She always remembered this, but because the courtyard of a first-rank general's mansion was too

large, and there was a major mourning in her family, she put aside the matter of planting flowers. Unexpectedly, today she could plant them in Yan Huagong, which was somewhat of a surprise.

She personally participated in the transplanting of plum blossoms, while Shi Lifen sat aside sipping tea and guiding the work.

Perhaps because I spoke too much during the guidance, the girl protested: “You have so much experience, why don't you plant it yourself”

He shook his head, "This deity isn't skilled at this. I only saw some pointers while flipping through books out of boredom, and I'll share them with you. Besides, there's someone willing to help, isn't there There's no need for this deity to do it myself. A-yan, you don't have to get your hands dirty either. Come and have some tea with me." He beckoned her over, "Come, the tea is fragrant."

Quan Qingcheng, kneeling on the ground filling soil, looked up at her and said, "That's right, sister, you go keep Emperor Zun company with tea. We have it here!" He then turned his head to ask the person beside him - "Right, Pei'er"

"...My name is Zhuai'er."

"Ah, Zhuoer, it's almost done."

"That's miles off!" Seeing Quan Qingcheng again, even though Zhuier had mentally rehearsed several times that he was the emperor, the emperor, once the two came into direct contact and started talking, all the psychological preparations she had made beforehand were in vain. "Besides, my older sister is younger than you, so don't always call her 'elder sister.' You're making my older sister sound old."

"I'm willing to call her sister. I feel like she is my sister, and I will always respect her," Qu Qingcheng said reluctantly.

"This is yours, there's no taking it back, if you regret it, you're a dog!"

"A man of integrity once his word is given, it cannot be retracted, even by a thousand horses! All the more so for an emperor; an emperor must never go back on his word."

Zhu'er's hand trembled. Mom~ damn it, he forgot he was the emperor again.

Yè Wēn Yán took over the conversation, “You still remember you’re the Emperor An Emperor should call himself ‘朕’, and his words are like gold.”

Quan Qingcheng shook his head. "That was directed at the people in court. I couldn't speak like that in front of my elder sister, it would be disrespectful to her."

Shi Lifen, standing at the edge, nodded upon hearing this. "Well said, you understand this point."

Yè Wēn Yán patted the dirt from his hands and, after wiping them with the cloth handed over by a palace attendant, returned to Shī Lì Yuān's side. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "You still praise him Look at him, he doesn't even act like an emperor! He's learned to argue with maidservants. Quán Qīngchéng, you really are something!"

>

"With loyalty as your guiding principle, you are truly admirable! Pearl, I have even higher regard for you now."

"...My name is Zhu'er."

Lian rubbed the mud from her hands and leaned towards Yunchen beside her, "Today was truly an eye-opener. I feel like after fifty years of life, I'm not even as enlightened as a maid."

Yun Chen shot him a glance. "What's the matter Even your own master's meaning, you can't do what Di Zun tells you to do"

"When times shook his head, “No, I can’t do it like that.”

The yan huang palace's plum blossoms were planted all over, and the viewing plum garden at the imperial palace was also renovated completely.

Early this morning, the entire tree was uprooted, pulled out with roots and all. The plum garden now looked like it had been robbed. If you only looked at this plum garden and not anywhere else, anyone would think that there had been a rebellion, and the palace had been destroyed.

The Guanyue Garden is located in the inner court and was built for the empresses to stroll and enjoy the scenery. As the current emperor has not yet held a grand wedding, there are no empresses residing in the palace. Therefore, the daily visitors to Guanyue Garden are still those imperial consorts left behind by the previous emperor.

In winter, there are few flowers except for plum blossoms. Now even the plum blossoms have been moved away by people. Logically, the empresses should be very angry.

However, it wasn't like that. Those concubines not only weren't angry, but they actually thought it was quite normal.

Aren't all the people beneath us Emperor Zun's subjects! Even the royal family exists under Emperor Zun's protection, so if Emperor Zun wants Mei Shu, or even their sleeping quarters, they would immediately move out to make room for Emperor Zun without any hesitation whatsoever.

Moreover, think about it from another angle. To be able to move the flowers I've ever admired to Yanhuashan for the Emperor to continue admiring, what a great blessing! They should really thank their eight ancestors for accumulating such immense good fortune for them.

In summary, the empresses were all pleased with the Emperor's "stealing of flowers" incident. They even personally participated in the renovation and reconstruction of Guanyumeiyuan (Plum Garden), determined to recreate a beautiful plum garden for the Emperor to transplant into.

Changxin Palace was where Empress Dowager Yu resided. As the biological mother of the new emperor, Empress Dowager Yu lived in the east palace, separate from Empress Dowager Li who lived in the west palace. Both were addressed as "Empress Dowager" and treated with utmost respect.

But Empress Dowager Yu understood deep down that she was just a figurehead, like her son, with no real power. The true rulers of this palace were the Regent King and another Empress Dowager, Li Xiaohan.

But it didn't matter, she wasn't one to crave power struggles anyway. If life could continue this way, peacefully and serenely, there was nothing wrong with that. As for her son ascending the throne, in a few years he would be married and naturally take his place then.

Before dinner, Empress Dowager Yu had just finished sewing a middle garment. The material was bright yellow and embroidered with dragon patterns.

She lifted up her embroidered inner garment and asked the maid beside her, Congwen, "How is my embroidery"

"From Wen nodded, "Your Majesty's craftsmanship is still as exquisite as before. When the late Emperor was alive, he always praised Your Majesty's embroidery skills as unmatched. He also loved to wear the middle clothes embroidered by Your Majesty. But Your Majesty, you are now the Empress Dowager, so you should call yourself 'Aijia'."Princess's mansion, which had been brimming with joy moments ago, was now utterly despondent. Of course, there was more than just dejection; it was thick with gloom. 。To come sing dirges and hold a f...
