Upon hearing this, Chaoli tightened his hands hidden in his sleeves slightly, lowered his eyelids, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. They are just two acacia trees. They are ordinary objects. Please forgive Chaoli for not finding them attractive. They are particularly eye-catching when they are bare."
Xu Shi heard the coldness in Chao Li's words, and Gu Hanzhang slowly turned around.
What caught the eye was an outstanding face. The purple court dress worn on Chaoli gave her a bit of nobility and elegance, and her cold expression made her look dangerous and unapproachable.
"Oh? You don't like it when the flowers bloom?" Gu Hanzhang asked.
Chaoli understood that Gu Hanzhang was already a little unhappy.
It stands to reason that people like Chaoli who admire Gu Hanzhang should know his preferences. Even if they say they have no feelings for him now, they will not feel disgusted.
Yes, Gu Hanzhang saw the disgust for those two trees in Chaoli's eyes, which made Gu Hanzhang feel very weird.
"Albizia julibrissin is just a flower. It is not a noble flower, nor is it suitable for the environment in which it grows. But it is surprising that the prince, the future prince of the Beihou Mansion, likes such an ordinary flower. I am still surprised. I thought that the prince would like noble orchids, or gorgeous peonies, or rich roses, but I didn’t expect that it was just albizia flowers." Chaoli snorted coldly.
Gu Hanzhang glanced at Chaoli with an indifferent expression, "In your eyes, the albizia flower is not worthy of my liking?"
"There's no such thing as being worthy or unworthy. Everyone has their own preferences for radish and vegetables. I'm just surprised." Chaoli replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
In her previous life, Chaoli also liked the albizia flower because it made her feel closer to Gu Hanzhang. They liked the same thing.
It was also because of Gu Hanzhang that she carefully treasured his silk handkerchief with the albizia flower, and even read the classics to find out what the albizia flower meant.
The flower language of Albizia Julibrissin means family happiness, so it is suitable to be planted in the courtyard, which means that the family will become harmonious, joyful and full of happiness.
And because its leaves unfold in the morning and roll up in the evening, it looks like a couple fighting at the end of the bed after a quarrel, which means they can reconcile and resume a loving life, so it also refers to the love between husband and wife.
If it is given to a couple who is quarreling with each other, it is a sign of hope that they can get back together and be happy and loving forever.
One time, Gu Hanzhang misunderstood Chaoli, so he picked two clusters of albizia flowers in the yard. She thought that Gu Hanzhang was showing weakness, apologizing to her, and wanting to get back together.
Later, when her health deteriorated and she could no longer support herself, Shen Lianyi came to her door and told her that the albizia flower had another meaning.
It was also at that time that she completely lost the idea of living, and before she died, she asked Qing Yi to return the acacia silk handkerchief to Gu Hanzhang.
Gu Hanzhang looked at Chaoli quietly, trying to read her inner thoughts from her face.
It's a pity that he couldn't see it.
"If you don't like it, don't like it. Don't force it." Gu Hanzhang turned and moved forward.
In the court house, I saw Chao Li personally throwing the albizia flower silk handkerchief into the brazier. I guess he really didn't like it, so he was disgusted.
She didn't like either the Albizia japonica or him as a person.
Chaoli stood there without moving, looking deeply at the albizia tree, and sighed in his heart.
Yes, she was expressing her anger. The two bare tree trunks really didn't offend her.
Albizia julibrissin was not called Albizia julibrissin in the past, but was originally called bitter love flower. When I heard this name, I thought it was not very auspicious. If newlyweds knew this, they would probably not talk about it.
The blooming of bitter feelings actually means that her husband has changed his mind, which has a bad connotation, but Shen Lianyi knew it and went out of his way to tell her.
Chaoli took a deep breath to let go of the frustration in his heart.
"Qingyi, let's go too."
Qing Yi followed Chao Li silently, watching the two good people getting into trouble again, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Perhaps because she was a bystander, she felt that her young lady and the prince were not incompatible, but it was a pity that she did not dare to say these words to Chaoli, otherwise Chaoli would definitely be angry, so she had to take her time.
When Chaoli and Qing Yi arrived at the door, Princess Desao and Gu Xiyue had not arrived yet, but Gu Le had been waiting for a long time.
"Sister-in-law." Gu Le called.
Chao Li smiled gently, saying that the second wife could not attend the palace banquet, so she would not be here.
"Four uncles, four aunts, and my little sister have kept you waiting for a long time."
"No way, there are still people who haven't arrived yet. This doesn't mean we have been kept waiting." Ms. Li said with a wink.
Look, they both have the same surname of Li, but Fourth Aunt Gu is much gentler and kinder, while the aunt in the court is not a good thing.
Chaoli naturally understood what Li meant and covered his lips with a chuckle.
"Fourth Aunt, please keep your voice down, so you don't want to be heard."
As soon as Chaoli finished speaking, Princess Desshao came over with Gu Xiyue.
"What, what did you hear?" Gu Xiyue asked casually.
Mother Li, her daughter, and Chaoli looked at each other, laughed at the same time, and shook their heads together to show that they didn't say anything.
Princess Dessau snorted coldly, "Okay, what are you doing here? Hurry up and get on the carriage. It's time to enter the palace."
As for what Chaoli said to Li, Princess Desao didn't care.
Anyway, she never regarded Li as a younger sibling. After all, her status was not comparable to that of her sister-in-law, who was a princess.
"Boring, hum."
Gu Xiyue glared at Chaoli, and got into the carriage with Hongyu arrogantly.
Chaoli smiled and said nothing, turned around and stepped into the carriage. Gu Hanzhang was already waiting in the carriage with a notebook in his hand.
Gu Hanzhang seemed not to notice Chaoli's appearance, and did not move his eyes away from the book at all.
Of course Chaoli didn't care and didn't say anything after getting into the carriage.
Not long after, Qing Yi asked the coachman to drive, and the carriage began to shake.
Perhaps because he accidentally bumped into Gu Hanzhang's arms yesterday, Chao Li sat further back this time, and even pressed his feet hard against the wooden board of the carriage seat.
This scene fell into Gu Hanzhang's eyes. He pursed his lips slightly but said nothing.
The whole journey was silent, and we finally arrived at the palace gate.
Since it was a palace banquet, routine inspections at the palace entrance were naturally inevitable.
In addition to a few carriages from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, there were also many courtiers' carriages parked at the gate of the palace, ready to be interrogated by the palace guards.
After all, they were going to meet the saint, so they were inspected very carefully. Even the female relatives would be inspected by the nuns in the palace, for fear that one or two assassins might accidentally sneak in and disturb the saint.
Just as he was about to check into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, there was a small discussion behind him.
"It's Master Shen's carriage. Miss Shen must be among it."
"No, she is the most beautiful woman in the capital. It's a blessing for us to enter the palace today. It's great."
Chao Li curled his lips and smiled. As expected, Shen Lianyi always came by coincidence.
While thinking, she focused her gaze on Gu Hanzhang, with a different meaning, but no emotion or anger could be seen.
