Chapter 385 Blue Enchantress
Arrived at the door.
Because transporting things through the door is not as simple as just letting people in.
Have to check all.
Zheng Jinshu stated his purpose.
Song Ming also had to produce the document of authorization. He was not like Zheng Jinshu who went to court every day and knew all the imperial guards at the door.
Then you have to report to His Majesty before you can enter.
Because this is not a court session, but an audience with His Majesty.
His Majesty has to be free to see you, otherwise you can't get in.
imperial study room
"What? Lord Song wants to see the emperor?" Gu Yichen frowned and looked at Zhao Ping in confusion.
"Yes." Zhao Ping nodded respectfully in response.
"Is he Song Ming, the one who I asked him to come to the capital to work, but he refused and said he wanted to go to the grassroots to realize his value and change agricultural production?" Gu Yichen showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Ping answered affirmatively.
"Hurry, please come in! Dajin's current grain output is all thanks to him!" Gu Yichen was so excited that his voice trembled a little, his face full of joy.
Song Ming was a great contributor to the Jin Dynasty! His efforts and contributions brought huge benefits to the country.
Thinking of this, Gu Yichen couldn't help but feel full of respect and gratitude towards Lord Song.
But I heard from Zheng Jinshu before that Lord Song is still very young.
After a while, Zheng Jinshu and a man with righteous features came in.
This kind of appearance is what people now call the elegant and classy one.
Song Ming and Zheng Jinshu knelt down and saluted as soon as they came in.
Zheng Jinshu: "I am your humble servant, Zheng Jinshu."
Song Ming: "I am your humble servant, Song Ming."
Zheng Jinshu and Song Ming: "Your Majesty."
Gu Yichen said happily, "Quick! My dear, please get up quickly."
Gu Yichen stood up and said please.
This shows how much he thinks of Song Ming.
But it's normal to think about it. Song Ming directly led the Jin Dynasty out of the situation where people were starving to death, and during Gu Yichen's reign, the grain production was changed.
This must be written into history books and passed down through the ages.
How could I not like Song Ming?
After hearing His Majesty's words, the two men slowly stood up.
"Please take your seats, my dear ministers."
The two of them bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the two of them sat down.
Gu Yichen looked at Song Ming calmly and asked slowly, "Why did you suddenly think of coming to the capital, Mr. Song?"
Song Ming bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, my wife has come to the capital, so I came along as well."
Gu Yichen nodded to show his understanding, and then asked, "Well, does Lord Song plan to stay in the capital temporarily this time, or do you want to live here permanently?"
Song Ming still had a serious expression on his face, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I will probably choose to live here for a long time. I went to the palace to pay a visit to Your Majesty today. My family has cultivated some rare species, and my wife suggested that they be presented to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Gu Yichen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, muttering to himself: So that's how it is, it seems that these rare plants were not given to me by you on your own initiative!
However, he did not show it, but just smiled and continued to ask: "Oh, really? Then, Mr. Song, what do these rare plants look like?"
Song Ming scratched his head and replied with a silly smile: "Your Majesty, I don't know the specific situation. Please go and check it out yourself."
Zhao Ping at the side interrupted with a smile: "Your Majesty, those rare plants are placed outside the palace gate. I have just gone to see them. I have never seen or heard of them before!"
Gu Yichen raised his eyebrows in disbelief and asked in confusion: "Oh, really?"
After all, what kind of rare and exotic plants could there be in the world that are not found in the imperial garden of the palace?
Moreover, the florists in the palace were also very outstanding.
So, Gu Yichen decided to go and see for himself how special those so-called rare plants were. He stood up and walked out of the hall.
Song Ming and Zheng Jinshu followed behind.
When Gu Yichen walked out of the imperial study, he looked at the flowers under the steps.
The emperor, who seemed to have seen too many rare treasures, could not help but be amazed by these special plants.
The scene before my eyes is so beautiful that I can't help but want to recite a poem for it.
There is not just one plant here, but several that are truly amazing.
His Majesty slowly walked to the tallest colorful hydrangea tree and observed it carefully. He exclaimed: "What kind of flower is this? It has seven colors, so bright and dazzling, and the flowers are so huge!"
Song Ming quickly stepped forward and explained: "This is a colorful hydrangea tree. It uses grafting technology to graft flowers of different colors onto the same tree. There is also a smaller pot of hydrangea over there, but it only has two or three colors. But their properties are different."
Gu Yichen stood aside, looking at these beautiful flowers, feeling a little dazzled.
Curiously, he walked to another plant and said, "I recognize this one, it should be a peach blossom!"
Song Ming nodded and replied, "Yes."
Gu Yichen pointed to a branch next to him and asked, "Why are the flowers here different from those over there?"
This tree is about the same height as the hydrangea tree next to it, but because its flowers are not as large as those of the hydrangea, it did not attract much attention at first.
Song Ming replied: "This is a twin peach tree."
"Twin peaches?" Zheng Jinshu looked puzzled. This was mainly because he had not paid much attention to this peach tree before and just thought it was an ordinary peach tree.
"Well, the branches branch out from here. The ones on the left are peaches, and the ones on the right are flat peaches."
Gu Yichen asked curiously: "It's a peach, what is a peach?"
Song Ming was choked by the question and sighed inwardly.
Oh my, what a headache!
How should these common sense questions be explained to the emperor?
So he patiently replied, “They are all peaches, but they look different and taste different.”
Zheng Jinshu couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Aren't all peaches the same?"
Song Ming smiled helplessly and said, "This is a new variety."
"Oh!" Gu Yichen nodded to show that he understood.
In fact, he still had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask, but he felt embarrassed and worried that he would be laughed at for his ignorance by his ministers.
Then he looked at the Blue Enchantress next to him and asked: "What kind of flower is this? It's actually this color?"
"This is a rose. This variety is called Blue Rose."
"Is this name special?"
Then Song Ming introduced the other varieties one by one.
Before he could finish his introduction, a group of women came in chattering.
Zheng Jinshu and Song Ming were frightened by this group of women of various shapes and colors and could not help but take a step back.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the woman in the lead was wearing a gorgeous phoenix hairpin and brightly dressed. They knew without a doubt that she was the queen.
Gu Yichen looked at the queen, his lips slightly raised, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "How come you have time to come here today, my beloved concubines?"
The queen smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "I heard from my sisters, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong, that a minister came to the palace to present flowers, and I heard from the palace maids that the flowers were so beautiful, so I came here with my sisters to enjoy them."
Gu Yichen smiled gently, pointed at the sea of flowers in front of him and said, "In that case, please enjoy the flowers to your heart's content! These flowers were carefully cultivated by Lord Song."
