Su Wan stood next to Gu Huaizhi. The man was talented and the woman was pretty, making them a perfect match.

"My wife wishes the Queen Mother a long life, and specially asked the embroiderer to embroider a screen with double-sided embroidery of peonies called "The Splendor of the Age of Prosperity"." Su Wan took off the red silk covering the screen, and the true face of the screen was revealed in front of everyone. "There are a total of thirty-eight flowers on the screen to celebrate the Queen Mother's thirty-eighth birthday. They use three different embroidery methods: different needles, different colors, and different pictures."

The Queen Mother saw the lifelike peonies on the screen, with different postures and different colors. As the chamberlain turned the screen, the Empress Dowager saw that the peonies on the back had only one color. They were gorgeous and rich, and must be the beauty of the country.

In the blank space in the upper left corner is a poem.

"After all the red leaves have faded, the scent begins to bloom, and the beautiful name is called the King of Flowers. It is said to be unparalleled in the world and the most fragrant in the world."

The Queen Mother read the poem carefully and suddenly laughed: "Wanwan, you and your wife are so thoughtful. This gift is deeply appreciated by the Ai family." She turned to look at Jingyun aside, "Your Majesty, you can't appreciate it. ?"

"Mrs. Gu has a clever mind, and the gift she gave you is very popular with me and my mother. I will grant you the title of first-class Lady of the Zhou Dynasty, with a bounty of a thousand taels, a bunch of pearls, ten pieces of tribute cloth, and a pair of Ruyi jade."

Su Wan and Gu Huaizhi thanked the emperor for his kindness.

Everyone was in an uproar. It was just a screen, but it was an unusual reward. Moreover, it was a first-class lady of the Zhou Dynasty, and she was given the title of the country. How big an honor is this?

Everyone present was very smart. How could they not know that the gift was just an excuse to confer a reward? The emperor had long wanted to canonize Su Wan?

Who doesn't know that when the new emperor was left among the people, it was the Gu family who picked him up and raised him. This kindness is engraved in the heart of the new emperor. The new emperor's previous use of Gu Huaizhi gave a glimpse of the future wealth of the Gu family, and now he treats his wife with such love.

The Su family has declined, and no one can support the family. If Su Jihong was still alive, I am afraid that the Su family would also be rich and powerful.

Because of Gu Huaizhi's previous methods, everyone stopped thinking about getting married and became active again.

While Su Wan was still alive, they might have to wait for several years until Gu Huaizhi got tired of her before they had the chance. What if Su Wan is no longer alive? The Gu Mansion cannot live without its mistress, and the infant son cannot live without his mother.

So, the people who saw something wrong with the screen exchanged glances.

Someone stood up and asked: "Are these all embroidered peonies?"

Another person took up the conversation: "Mrs. Gu said that this is a double-sided embroidery of peonies, and the poem on the ground is also about peonies. What is your opinion on this question?"

"My official looked at this peony screen. It's not just peonies embroidered on it, it's also mixed with peonies. As we all know, peony leaves are wide and alternate. Peony leaves are narrow and long, with a single leaf near the flower." The official He walked out from the banquet, stood in front of the screen, pointed out the differences for everyone to identify, and then lit the flowers and said: "The petals of peonies are numerous and layered, like a queen's dress. They are graceful and luxurious, so they are the best among flowers." The title of King. And if you look at these flowers, they have fewer petals and their branches are different from peonies. They look like Xiaojiabiyu, so they are undoubtedly peonies. "

People in the world are taboo about medicine and death. Peony is both a flower and a medicine. On the Empress Dowager's birthday, the peony screen given to her was mixed with peony. It didn't take much to think about the Gu family's intentions, not to mention that the new emperor had grown up in the Gu family.

Those who are bolder can't help but wonder, is the Gu family cursing the Queen Mother, trying to curse the Queen Mother to death and then replace her?
