Chapter 90: Temple of Flowers

Objects that can be used to make hauni are different from those that are new to everyone. Zhong Limo and Situ Xi, who knew about it, suddenly had strange expressions on their faces.

The so-called auspiciousness generally refers to some natural and natural things. As for this so-called hauni treasure...

It was clear to Situ Xi whether it was Xiangrui. The drawings of that thing were drawn by him himself.

"Grandpa, Master, since there will be a lot of people soon, we should go early to get a good seat. I also want to take a closer look at the auspiciousness." Wen Shuer got up from the chair and walked over. Situ Xi proposed to everyone in front of him.

"Yes, that's true, little friend Situ, if something happens here, let's go out for a walk."

"That's fine." Situ Xi nodded in agreement.



Flower Temple, this is the place where the Flower God is worshiped in Xuan'an City.

There are many flowers and plants in the Jiangnan area, especially in the imperial capital Xuan'an.

The residents of Xuan'an all love to appreciate flowers, and the dignitaries even regard it as a refined thing to appreciate, love, and cherish flowers. This can be seen from the previous Taoyuan Poetry Recital.

As the God of Flowers, the rumored Flower God is often worshiped in Xuan'an, especially during the Flower Festival, when there is an endless stream of people coming and going to the Flower Temple.

Today's Huachao Festival temple fair is held here. The door of the Huashen Temple is not open at the moment, but the front door is already crowded with waiting people. There are also many officers and soldiers around the temple to maintain order.

There is a high platform inside the Flower Temple, with a spacious space and a wide view. At this time, a middle-aged man and an old woman were sitting on the platform drinking tea.

Both of them were wearing regular clothes. The old woman had a hairpin in her hair. She had no other jewelry. Although they were dressed simply, their temperament was elegant and their manners were dignified.

"Mother, how does this scented tea taste? This is a new way of drinking that has emerged in the market recently. A few petals of peach blossoms are added when making tea." The middle-aged man was Emperor Chu Zuo Duyuan, and the woman was Empress Dowager Du Shi.

"It's more fragrant than usual, but maybe it's because I'm old and prefer a lighter taste." Mrs. Du drank all the tea and said this to the Emperor of Chu with a smile. She did not call herself "my wife" or "my wife". It's "Aijia". At this moment, she is just an ordinary mother who goes out to relax with her son.

"Since it's not to your mother's taste, don't force yourself to finish it. I'll just change it for you." Zuo Duyuan looked at his mother helplessly, "Mother, don't say that you are old. Your body is in good health, and it is said that you are in better shape than some middle-aged people. Even the doctors who examined you a few days ago were amazed."

"That's why, Emperor, you need to exercise more frequently. I heard that you sit for a long time and haven't been active for a long time?"

"The affairs in the court have been complicated recently, and I have no free time. The spring hunting day after tomorrow will be a good time for some exercise."

"It doesn't matter, if you talk too much, you will feel that I am verbose." Du Shi shook her head, "Speaking of which, is Xiangrui ready?"

"After returning to my mother, it has been prepared. You can come with me to see her."

Emperor Chu led Du to the wall of the high platform. He pointed to the open space in the garden below, where many storage tables covered with cloth were neatly placed. There was also a huge table on one side of the wall. pure white silk screen.

"I see that the outside of the temple seems to be crowded with people. Most of them should come because of this auspiciousness. Since we are ready, what if we advance the temple fair?" Mrs. Du also wanted to see what kind of scene this so-called auspiciousness would create.

At this moment, an old eunuch walked up to the two of them softly.

"Your Majesty, several of your highnesses have arrived. In addition, I have one more thing to report."

"speak."

The old eunuch walked up to Emperor Chu and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Oh? Then call him to me alone and let the queen mother see him."



"It's too late. Why are there so many people?"

At the entrance of the Flower Temple, when Situ Xi and his party arrived, the path and lawn in front of the temple were full of people, and there was no space in front of them that they could squeeze in.

"Grandpa will be watching the ceremony with all the officials soon, so he shouldn't need to go through the front door." Given Mr. Wen's age, it is unreasonable to squeeze into such a crowd.

"My sister and I have already made an appointment. I'm afraid we won't be able to be with you, Brother Situ, when we watch the ceremony later." Chen Pu and the others should be with the envoys, after all, they are the leaders.

"The interior of the Flower Temple is vast. It won't be too late for us to go in after the door opens and all the people waiting in line have entered. Anyway, it's not like I don't have the auspiciousness... I'm not very interested in it either." Zhong Limo suggested without interest.

.

"Master Situ." A familiar voice appeared in Situ Xi's ear.

"Eunuch Huai?"

"Shh!" The person who came was none other than Huai Ke, who was acquainted with him. He was currently wearing regular clothes. When he heard Situ Xi calling him, he quickly made a silencing gesture to him.

"Mr. Situ, I have called you, and please come with me."

Situ Xi could only think of one face that could make this eunuch called "noble", and His Majesty was actually there.

That's right, after all, we are here to show auspiciousness, and he should indeed be present.

"Young Master, there is no need to worry about your family. Our family will take them in to rest soon." Duke Huai whispered in Situ Xi's ear.

"That's the case, it's troublesome." Situ Xi nodded, turned around and gave some instructions to Zhong Lixin. After saying goodbye to Chen Zhisu, Mr. Wen and the others, he followed Eunuch Huai into the temple from the side door of the Flower Temple.



Climbing hundreds of steps, Situ Xi was led to the high platform of the Flower Temple. There were dozens of guards guarding the platform. In the center stood the Emperor of Chu, an old woman and three young men.

Seeing Emperor Chu waving, Situ Xi came to him and was about to salute, but was interrupted by him.

"I am traveling with my family to watch the ceremony today, so there is no need to salute."

Then you still call yourself "I", Situ Xi secretly cursed.

"Mother, this is the ninth prince of the Zhao Kingdom, Situ Fuyu. You haven't met him yet. He has been here for a while. I thought it would be appropriate for you to meet him."

It turned out that this was the Queen Mother. Situ Xi held the junior ceremony in his hand and bowed to her. At the same time, he silently observed her and saw that she had a gentle expression and did not have much hostility towards him.

"Okay, okay, he looks handsome, somewhat similar to Situ Zhao when he was young..." But looking at it, she sighed deeply, "He is also a poor child, but this is fate, people always

You have to accept your fate."

"Mother, don't talk about this." Seeing that Mrs. Du was remembering the past and seemed to be showing her true feelings, Emperor Chu immediately interrupted her.
