Xiaoman snorted twice: "It's not normal for you to bully me."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Xiaoman and said, "I won't talk to you about this anymore. Just watch for yourself. There will definitely be a tail following you."
"But what I'm more curious about is, did Xiang Ning send you the follow-up of that incident? Did Lin Chuwan enter the palace? And did Ren Yu enter the palace?"
Xiaoman looked at Qian Jiujiu speechlessly: "Sister, does your brother-in-law know that you are so gossipy?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "Gossip is a woman's nature. Okay, stop talking about other things and tell me what the result is? Xiang Ning must have told you, right?"
Xiaoman nodded: "Yes, come to think of it, today is the day when those two women enter the palace. The palace should be very lively now. I just wonder if the queen is feeling very upset."
"You said that the Queen has to deal with those two invincible concubines in the palace from time to time. Now she has two more love rivals, one of whom is the Emperor's cousin."
"One of them is actually my own sister. Tsk tsk tsk! This life is really unbearable."
Hearing this, Qian Jiujiu could not help but be speechless: "I say, are you standing up for the queen? Or are you gloating over her misfortune?"
Xiaoman sneered: "I am just feeling lucky for my own choice! The emperor is not a loyal person, poor queen, the queen mother is not around."
"I guess he was wronged, but he didn't even have a place to complain. It's really miserable."
Qian Jiujiu really didn't know what to say. She glanced at Xiaoman and said, "In fact, the queen isn't that miserable! She really likes the emperor."
"Besides, I have a son now. Even if I am not favored in this life, the emperor will still respect me because I am the queen!"
Xiaoman shook her head: "Who knows? Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Let's not talk about it. I'm still looking forward to the start of the Flower Fighting Contest."
In fact, although Xiaoman said she wouldn't talk about it, she was still worried about the child who was delivered by her. She hoped that the war between these women would not be so fierce at the beginning.
Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman in a daze and couldn't help but glance at Xiaoman without saying anything else.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the flower-fighting competition. Qian Jiujiu and others naturally obtained the qualifications, and they obtained the qualifications from the government.
Everyone packed up early in the morning and took a carriage to the flower-fighting show. The flower-fighting show was held in an open garden.
When Qian Jiujiu and others arrived at the scene, they saw the contestants who came to participate in the competition, each holding their own flowers and a wooden sign in their hands.
This wooden sign should be the qualification for these people to participate in the competition! Qian Jiujiu and others do not need to participate in the competition, they just come to appreciate the flowers, and there is a courtyard in the garden.
There were also many flowers placed together for them to enjoy. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao walked together, looking at the many flowers in front of them and touching their noses.
"Mu Yexiao, I always feel that the smell of so many flowers mixed together doesn't smell very good."
Mu Yexiao's mouth twitched and he looked at Qian Jiujiu: "It doesn't smell good in the first place, and these are just ordinary flowers. The real good stuff hasn't been brought out yet!"
As he was talking, the crowd started to get agitated: "Look, that's Miss Jiang coming..."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked over at the same time and saw a gorgeous carriage stopped, the door opened, the curtain was lifted by someone, and a person in a light yellow dress came in.
The woman who got off the car had a gentle temperament and outstanding looks, a typical Jiangnan woman. Qian Jiujiu nodded, indicating that he still admired this woman.
"This woman is pretty. No wonder Xiaoman said that she is the sweetheart of many men."
After Miss Jiang got off the carriage, the maid behind her was holding a pot of yellow flowers, which looked very beautiful. It seemed that this pot of flowers was the one she was going to participate in the flower competition.
After Miss Jiang came down, she went straight in without stopping. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other and looked at the yard that Miss Jiang entered.
"I guess all the high-end flowers should be in there this time. Should we go in and take a look?"
Today it should be the Queen Mother's turn to take care of the child. The Queen Mother has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and she has seen all kinds of flowers, so she is not here today.
As for Wanyin and Gu Xiong, they did not disturb Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao. Instead, they took Xiaoman to see other flowers. So now Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao are living the life of two people they have always dreamed of.
Of course, if we ignore the maids and guards following behind, the flowers outside, although beautiful, are indeed nothing special.
After all, the most beautiful courtyard has not been opened yet. Just after Miss Jiang's group of people passed by, the crowd began to get excited again.
It turned out that Lu Jiaqi had arrived. Looking at the pot of flowers in Lu Jiaqi's hand, many people exclaimed in surprise. The pot of flowers in Lu Jiaqi's hand seemed to have a layer of halo around it.
It looked charming and dazzling, and everyone started discussing it, and Lu Jiaqi quickly walked over and waited for Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao to see almost all the flowers.
Suddenly, Mu Yexiao said, "Jiu'er, do you like any of these flowers? If so, I'll pick them and give them to you."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she coughed twice and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Really?"
Mu Yexiao nodded seriously: "Of course what I said is true. When have I ever lied to you? Do you still like this? I think these flowers are actually not that good."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and said, "Remember what you said first. I don't like these flowers, but that doesn't mean I don't like the flowers inside. Maybe I can encounter a peerless flower?"
"When the time comes, you get it for me and we raise it well. What do you think?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Okay, as long as you like it, I will snatch it from you even if I have to rob it."
Qian Jiujiu snorted, "You're talking as if I'm unreasonable. Why do you want to rob? Let's go, open the door."
As the two were talking, they saw the door to the inner courtyard open, and an old man came out and looked at the people below: "Now, the flower viewing begins."
"The old rules are, everyone has a wooden stick. Whichever flower you think is the best, throw the stick in your hand into the empty basin in front of that flower."
"The one who gets the most wooden sticks will be the first, and so on."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, obviously a little surprised. They had not expected that the first place would be selected by voting.
You have to know that those who can come to visit the Flower Fighting Show are either rich or noble. It is not easy to bribe these people, even if one or two of them are bribed.
No one will be able to bribe a large part of it. After all, this requires a huge amount of financial resources. I believe that no one will do such a thankless task.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the place where wooden sticks were collected. Each of them took one and walked in. Once they entered, it was as if another world had opened up.
These are indeed top-notch flowers, each pot has its own charm. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao walked in, took a look around, and naturally discovered them.
The pot of flowers that we saw just now, that of Miss Jiang, and the pot of flowers that Lu Jiaqi brought, also had many varieties of flowers in them, but the number was very small.
There is basically only one pot of each kind, and they are all top-notch ones of that type. Common ones include tulips, irises, calla lilies, marigolds, crinums, and lilies.
There were some unusual ones that were mutated, and Qian Jiujiu was quite surprised when she saw them. "I originally thought that the food from Food for Heaven was worse than I imagined, and I thought that the Flower Fighting Club would be similar."
"Just seeing so many kinds of flowers today, I finally understood. It is true that since ancient times, there have been masters among the people. These flowers are very rare, even in our home we don't have many of them."
As soon as Qian Jiujiu finished speaking, she heard the rabbit's voice in her mind: "You are so ignorant. There are so many flowers in the space, of all kinds."
"You actually think this little scene is eye-opening. You haven't seen the Flower City back then. That was really lively!"
Huadu? Qian Jiujiu thought about it again in her mind. Is there such a city? Why didn't she know about it? Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu and stopped talking.
I was a little surprised: "Jiu'er, what are you thinking about? Why are you so quiet all of a sudden? Which pot do you like? Do you want me to move them all back home?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and said, "Forget it. By the way, Mu Yexiao, do you know where the flowers are?"
Mu Yexiao was stunned for a moment: "Huadu? Why did you suddenly mention this city? It is said that the city has been lost for a long time! Now I don't know if it still exists."
"However, there are still many legends left in the Flower City. It is said that the Flower City is a sea of flowers. No matter how beautiful or precious the flowers are, as long as they exist in this world, they are all there."
"You can find them in the Flower City. It's a pity that the Flower City has disappeared long ago. Otherwise, I'm afraid there would be countless flower lovers in the Flower City."
Qian Jiujiu blinked and looked at Mu Yexiao: "So, Huadu is actually a city of hundreds of flowers?"
Mu Yexiao smiled and said, "This description is not appropriate. Perhaps it should be described as Wanhua City. However, Anxi is a thing of the past, so I won't talk about it anymore."
"Let's talk about these flowers. Do you like any of them?"
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Mu Yexiao, and felt that he was serious. After thinking for a while, she said, "I like him."
Mu Yexiao was speechless. The flowers in front of him were not many, but not few either. There were several hundred pots. He coughed twice and said, "Are you interested in all of them?"
"What do you need so much for?"
Qian Jiujiu chuckled and said, "It's used for flower arrangement."
