Chapter 332

After listening to the play for a while, everyone went to the garden together to see the famous strelitzia orchids that Mrs. Si bought from Jinzhou on a special trip.

"This flower is so delicate. The outer petals are magenta, and the inner core is orchid. The stigma is frosty, like a crane with its head raised. In winter, it is basking under the sun. It needs enough water. In midsummer, the whole plant The flowers have to be covered with silk veils to shade them from the sun. Although it is difficult to raise, but luckily His Highness has someone to take care of them, and the concubine keeps them for occasional enjoyment."

Si's face is exquisite, her figure is exquisite, and she speaks a gentle voice. She only talks about sleeping at the mansion, which is comparable to Helian Wei Rui's one or two nights less. Especially in recent months, the number of Zong Zhenghan's visits to her room was obviously a few more nights, and he seemed to be overwhelmed.

She was originally a side concubine, and she could justifiably trample the women of Helian's family under her feet. Si's eyes were faintly flamboyant by admiring the flowers. Although she is not as clever as Helian Weirui to please His Highness, but when it comes to serving men, no one in the family is better at it than her.

A few steps behind the crowd, Helian Weirui didn't seem to notice, and didn't care about the woman next to Zong Zhenghan at all. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity today, she has more important matters and must find out the results.

"Sister, do you think these flowers are good?" Because of the sister relationship, it happened that she was able to get close to the female relatives of His Highness Six's residence. And the person she is looking for should be among them.

"If you like to watch, please go and please your Highness." Obviously she didn't want to see her, but this woman had the audacity to follow her all the way. Helian Minmin looked indifferent, and helped Gui Li to take a step to the side.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, Helian Weirui narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corner of his mouth, and simply retreated to Zhang's side, which was more in line with her wishes.

"Although strelitzia is good, but my concubine heard that there are even rarer flowering trees in the two Jin Dynasties. Every year when the flowering period comes, they only bloom and don't grow leaves. You have to wait until the flowers fade, and the leaves will sprout. Extremely It's interesting."

"What's the name of that flower? If you get a chance, you can take a look at it." The princess at the front heard it, and she became interested in this strange thing that she had never seen before.

"It seems to be some kind of blue, I can't remember much." Helian Weirui seemed embarrassed, after all, she was the one who started the question, and if she couldn't answer it, she would be suspected of grandstanding.

"My servant vaguely remembers that there seems to be such a kind of flower, which is called 'white orchid' by Jin people." Mrs. Qi understands fragrance, and she is more familiar with the study of flowers.

"'White Orchid'? I'll ask His Highness when I get back. If I can get it, I'll put it in the house and have a look." The crown prince has been working honestly in front of Emperor Yuan Cheng for the past few days, and the emperor rarely praised him as "progressive". , the princess felt relieved. At this moment, she doesn't care about her as a little concubine, there is no rule in such an occasion to interrupt indiscriminately.

The Crown Princess never blamed her, but Helian Minmin glanced at her coldly, staring at her so that Mrs. Qi immediately shrank her neck, and couldn't help shivering.

Although she didn't control her temper and broke the rules in front of the women's family, how could she get such embarrassing eyes from Concubine Helian? Even if she caused Helian's to gain the reputation of "incompetent discipline", she shouldn't give her such a cold look. It felt like falling into a cold pool in Shengjing when it was the coldest time, and the bones were covered with frost.

Ever since this conversation started, Helian Weirui secretly checked everyone's expressions. When mentioning the "leafless flower", others were all curious, but the three of them had a slightly different expression from everyone else.

The Qi family who just spoke just now had a glint of excitement in his eyes, which completely reflected the subsequent display. And the other person... was Wan Shi whom she didn't remember much. She has the same status as a concubine, in the eyes of that woman, it is neither strange nor obvious, but she is concealing it in a trance!

Wan's sudden abnormality was caught by her unsuspectingly. Unexpectedly, such a silent woman who can hardly remember her name is actually the one in the Sixth Highness's house, most likely, the one buried the deepest!

Now that he had the bottom line, Helian Weirui looked at Helian Minmin's haughty back with interest, and couldn't help but secretly sneered, which was extremely mocking. Her sister-in-law was killed several times, and now she is on guard, will it be too late?

The third person just now was Helian Minmin whose pupils shrank instantly. It's a pity that her elder sister has never been a book lover. Today's misunderstanding may be difficult for Mrs. Qi to reconcile when she goes back.

Throwing off the veil and going forward to join in the fun, after finding out the details, I will try her again later. It's not a problem to stay with the women in His Royal Highness's house like this all the time.

Helian Minmin supported Gui Li, and winked at Nanny Feng who was following beside her. The eyes of the two turned around Qi's body, and when they looked at each other again, there was determination in their eyes.

At noon, the princes and their relatives sat upright in the hall on the chief case. The wives of the courtiers and ladies from other families gathered around twenty tables in the outside, which shows that there must be quite a few people who were invited to congratulate the Eighth Prince's residence.

The dishes on the table are very rich, well matched, and the aroma is attractive. There are not only lighter seasonal vegetables, but also fresh shrimp and fish that make people's index fingers move. Obviously, the person who organized the banquet has put a lot of thought into it, and the etiquette and rules of the host are very good.

Afterwards, the maid and everyone put the fruit wine simmered in a small porcelain stove into the white jade wine cups in front of everyone. In the winter, a sip of sweet and sweet warm wine only made people feel comfortable and warmed up.

"This banquet is well prepared." Among the female family members, the crown princess has the highest status, and since the master praised it, the people below followed suit, calling the concubine of the eighth prince's house, Chen Shi, to be more humble. "A concubine can do it anywhere, and Concubine Helian is there to help. Otherwise, how could a concubine be so thoughtful."

Helian Weirui hurriedly waved her hands and put all the credit on Mrs. Chen. She has ulterior motives, unnecessary to attract the attention of others.

During the banquet, everyone was full of praise for the various dishes. Helian Weirui sipped the blood duck soup with a spoon, and there was a faint smile in his downcast eyes.

In the afternoon, everyone listened to another play, during which Wan Jingwen got up and pleaded guilty to Helian Minmin cautiously, and after getting her consent, she took Zhu Jin to the back of the cleaning room.

"Sister Wan, go slowly."

Turning the corner along the corridor, within two steps, she was greeted by Concubine Helian who followed behind her, Wan Jingwen had no choice but to stop and wait for her to approach.

"Sister, do you want to be together?" The two had never had much friendship, and it was considered polite to talk to each other like this.

He took her arm kindly, and Helian Weirui smiled elegantly, no matter how you looked at it, she looked familiar. "I called my sister, so I want to go together. I also went out for a walk, and talked to my sister about my son. After staying inside for a long time, the sound of gongs and drums made my sister feel dizzy."

Talk to your son? What can she say to Helian Weiwei? I can't meet twice in a year, but today, for some reason, this woman suddenly became close...
