Sister, what are you looking at?" Xia Yin and the other two looked at Su Qi curiously. They called out to her several times but did not answer. It was as if they were in a daze.
Hearing someone calling her, Su Qi came back to her senses and retracted her gaze. She saw the puzzled expressions of Xia Yin and the other two and smiled."It depends on the judges."
Xia Yin excitedly held Su Qi's hand and said,""Sister Ye, do you also think that Hua Huo and Hua Shuo are very good-looking?”
"Do you think Suqi is as stupid as you?”Yu Dai teased with a smile.
Su Qi said,"So Little Yin, you're still a love-struck fool!"”
"What's a love-struck fool?" Yan Jin asked curiously. Xia Yin and Yu Dai also didn't understand.
"She's someone who gets into a daze when she sees a beautiful man. Look at Little Yin now, doesn't she look like that?”As they spoke, they all felt that it was very vivid. All of them smiled gorgeously. Even the others at the side also laughed softly when they heard it. Shayeen pouted helplessly.
As there were more people participating, they were divided into about twenty groups with ten pots of flowers in each group. As Su Qi and the others teased each other, the first group had already walked up. Most of the people had their servants carry the flowers while they stood at the side, introducing their chrysanthemums one by one. Only a few people carried the flowers and introduced themselves.
Su Qi looked at those gorgeously dressed people and those flowers in boredom. Her eyes darted around as she looked at the people around her.
Suddenly, she felt a gaze following her. At first, Su Qi thought it was an illusion.
Xi Liyuan had been standing by the window of a private room in Mingyue Restaurant since the start of the competition. In fact, he did not like such a lively scene. However, if he stayed in the Imperial Palace, there would be some officials who would come to see him from time to time. They all wanted him to choose a concubine. Do they think I don't know what they're planning? They just want to plant some eyes by my side, or rather, they're scheming for their own benefits. What imperial descendants are just excuses. Thinking of those restless women in the harem, all of them only knew how to play tricks out of boredom.
At this moment, Xi Li Yuan saw the woman he had seen by the lake during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although it had been a few months, he still remembered her clearly. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that she was a young lady from some family. He wondered if she would get a part in the consort selection if he agreed to it.
Eunuch Jin, who was standing at the side, seemed to have sensed something. He raised his head and saw the corner of the Xiliyuan's lips curling up. He immediately felt a chill pierce through his heart. Was the sun about to rise from the west? Eunuch Jin blinked his eyes hard and rubbed them with his hands. He looked over again to confirm that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. The Emperor seemed to be smiling. Heavens, this scene was really too rare!
Xi Liyuan did not care about the surprise he had brought to the people around him. He kept staring at the woman until she saw him. The smile on his lips deepened, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes.
"Suqi, what are you looking at? That Wei Qianxue is going up." Yan Jin's hand swayed in front of Su Qi's eyes. He followed Su Qi's gaze but did not see anything.
Su Qi came back to her senses. She seemed to have seen a familiar figure, but she couldn't remember. It was only after she heard Yan Jin's words that she looked towards the center of the stage.
Zhu Li was standing three feet away from Wei Qianxue, smiling like a spring breeze as she said,"This must be Miss Wei. I wonder what kind of flowers you brought for us to broaden our horizons.”
Wei Qianxue wore a golden bun on her head and a pearl hairpin with five phoenixes hanging from the sun. She wore a long, crescent-moon-colored dress with a bean-green palace sash at the hem and a hollowed-out jade pendant at her waist. She wore a plain veil on her face, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes.
She took a step to the side, and a servant behind her brought over a pot of green chrysanthemums. Wei Qianxue said,"This is a flower I found not long ago. It's called the Green Peony.”
"So this is the green peony. It is said that very few people have seen this flower before. I wonder if our judges can come and tell us about it.”Zhu Li was indeed a first-class host. After a moment of surprise, she calmed down. However, the others below the stage were not calm. They had never heard of this flower before.
Hua Shuo looked at the flower, his eyes shining with golden light."Green Peony, its branches are thick and green, and its leaves are irregularly shaped. The flowers are green, flat petals, many rings do not reveal the heart, belong to the peony flower type. When the flower bloomed, the outer petals were light green, and the middle petals were green and curled up. The heart petal was dark green, and the entire corolla was tight and flat.
When it first bloomed, the flowers were as green as jade, sparkling and translucent. After being exposed to the sun, it was green and yellow, dazzling. The diameter of the flower could reach 17 centimeters, and the flowering period could last for 35 days. Its foot bud sprouted less, the initial growth was slow, and the survival rate of cuttage was low. It was a rare representative variety of green chrysanthemums. It was named 'Green Peony', and the flower was in the shape of a peony, allowing people to admire the chrysanthemum and recall its name, recalling the delicate and beautiful appearance of the peony and peony. Peony and peony were known as the king of flowers and the appearance of flowers since ancient times. They had the reputation of being the two wonders of flowers.”
Lan Cangshu stroked his beard and said with a smile,"It's rare to see such a top-grade flower here. However, the leaves of this pot of green peony are slightly yellow. Although the flowers are blooming well, there are already some signs of withering.”
Wei Qianxue felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. Her flowers were at their peak, so how could they show any signs of withering? It was clearly nonsense. However, she still thanked him politely. Lan Cangshu had lived for so long, so he could tell that Wei Qianxue was unhappy. However, he only smiled and didn't say anything.
"Then, please give your marks.”The sound of bamboo dripping rang out in a timely manner.
Hua Shuo and Wu Chang gave 10 points, Golden Sand Vine smiled and gave 9 points, while Blue Orchid and Anther only gave 8 points. The total score was 45 points, the highest among everyone.
Wei Qianxue looked at Ye Suqi with a smug smile and walked straight to her seat. The people around her started to suck up to her.
"Hmph, what's there to be proud of?" Xia Yin said unwillingly.
"Even Anther gave 8 points. He didn't even give 6 points just now. Suqi, you…" Yan Jin said worriedly.
Su Qi smiled and patted Yan Jin's hand."Don't worry, we'll just watch. The next group has Sister Yu, right? Hurry up and prepare.”
"Aiya, I don't have any connections. It's just a pot of ordinary flowers.”Yu Dai stood up as she spoke." Then I'll go over first."”
Indeed, Yu Dai and the other two had accompanied Su Qi here. He was just here to join in the fun. However, they were all here after all. Even if it was just an ordinary flower, it was still very good. Not long after, they all went up for a walk. Their results were pretty good, almost getting 40 points. Xia Yin's White Pine Needle even got 43 points, almost on par with Wei Qianxue's Green Peony.
"I'm so angry. Can't you give more points to Anther? Scoundrel, scoundrel.”Xia Yin started blaming her as soon as she came down, while Yu Dai smiled and comforted her.
"Suqi, it's almost your turn." Yan Jin said. Xia Yin also looked over. This time, it was all thanks to Su Qi.
"I'm not confident either. What should I do?" Su Qi frowned.”
"Ah! What was that? Sister Ye, didn't you say that there would definitely be no problem?”Shayeen suddenly stood up and said loudly, causing the surrounding people to look over.
Yan Jin immediately pulled her down and said,""What are you doing?"
Only then did Xia Yin realize that she had caused trouble. She said aggrievedly,"I'm just worried about Sister Ye."
Yu Dai smiled and patted Xia Yin's head.""Silly girl, can't you see the smile on Sister Ye's face? He's obviously teasing you."
Only then did Xia Yin realize that Su Qi didn't look worried at all. She was still smiling. She finally knew that she had been played. She was so angry that she was sad. Bad Sister Ye, you clearly know that I'm worried, but you still lied to me like this.
