Otherwise, these noble ladies are usually the most solemn, and each one is gentler and more polite than the other. Now they are gathered together and compared with each other, and everything is wrong.
If telling her son this would cause unrest in the family in the future, then she would have harmed her son for the rest of his life.
Hua Yanxi put down the corner of her gauze and stood up: "Thanks to Miss, it would be disrespectful to refuse."
The maid quickly brought the two potted plants onto the high platform.
"I wonder which one comes first, the fifth prince's concubine or me?" The young lady said with a hint of concern in her brows, pretending to be condescending.
It stands to reason that when two people go on stage to compete for flowers, the maid will lift up the gauze after bringing the flowers to let everyone see the varieties of flowers. But I don’t know whether the maid forgot or the young lady’s instruction. The two pots of flowers are still obscured at this moment.
Wearing a veil of mystery.
Hua Yanxi said: "Then let me come first."
Saying that, Hua Yanxi raised her hand to lift the veil.
Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise after seeing Hua Yanxi's pot of flowers.
The flowers were so bright that they were all in full bloom. What was surprising was not the variety of the flowers, nor the amazing number, but that each flower turned out to be of two colors, one purple and one purple.
Pink, distinct and echoing each other.
The woman opposite had an even more complicated look on her face, her eyes glaring fiercely at the potted flower, as if she wanted to pierce through it.
Hua Yanxi didn't call her, and just admired the pot of flowers in front of her.
I don’t know where Ye Yibai found it.
The reason why flowers have color is that the anthocyanins in the vacuoles cause the cells to show different colors, and the different colors of a potted flower are due to the different pH levels in the cells.
She looked carefully and saw that the roots were slightly thick, probably formed by grafting. She didn't know who had such wisdom.
After a while, the woman thought hard and couldn't make up a random picture of a flower she had never seen before. She could only say in frustration: "I lost."
Compared with this peony, taking out her peonies at the moment will only make people laugh.
But she still refused to be reconciled and said: "I wonder where the fifth prince and concubine found such exotic flowers, which can bloom in two colors."
Hua Yanxi looked at the provocation in her eyes, as if she had already decided that Hua Yanxi couldn't say it herself.
If it was something else, she might really not know, but she still had some say in this mutated peony.
Before Ye Yibai recovered, she once told him about this grafting method by telling a story, using the example of Er Qiao in Peony.
Hua Yanxi said lightly: "Two peonies, rose-shaped flowers, oblate buds, multi-colored flowers, the same plant, the same branch blooms purple-red and pink flowers, the same flower can also bloom purple-pink flowers inlaid with each other.
.The upper part of the filament is white, the anthers are oblong, the disc is leathery, cup-shaped, and purple-red.”
The woman pursed her lips and said, "This peony is so special. It should be a treasure of Luoyang, but why have I never heard of it?"
Do you want to put the blame on the region?
Because Hua Yanxi is from Luoyang, it is normal to know this flower, but she is not from Luoyang, so it is not surprising that she does not know her?
Are all the young ladies today so unable to afford to lose?
Hua Yanxi said softly: "Peonies do belong to Luoyang, but they are not necessarily treasures. The flowers brought by all the ladies here today are all top-notch."
The woman's face twitched when she was poked by Hua Yanxi's neither soft nor hard nail, but in the end she smiled and stepped back.
The fight with flowers was still going on, but Hua Yanxi lost her mood and simply got up and went out to take a breath.
