Chapter 1539: Don’t Think About Chrysanthemums (1)

In the magnificent and fragrant Yukun Palace, Empress Dowager Mo was taking care of the hibiscus flowers in the yard with Bai Zhi and other senior palace maids.

It was well known that Empress Dowager Mo loved flowers. She not only loved those rare and precious flowers, but also loved all the beautiful ones. Therefore, all year round, there were flowers of various colors blooming in the entire Yukun Palace.

This hibiscus flower is not a rare flower, nor is it difficult to grow. It is considered a poor flower, but the hibiscus flowers in Yukun Palace are unique in the capital. This is not because the hibiscus flowers in Yukun Palace are particularly precious, but the hibiscus flowers in Yukun Palace have a particularly long flowering period.

Hibiscus flowers bloom in summer, but the hibiscus in Yukun Palace began to bloom in early spring in March. The entire Yukun Palace was surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, and the flowers bloomed all over the wall, blooming like brocade.

This is because a series of fire walls were built among the flowers. The hibiscus grew vigorously, and the shadow of the fire wall could not be seen at a glance. However, the servants of Yukun Palace all knew that the reason why the flower could bloom so early was entirely because of the warmth of the fire wall, which urged the hibiscus to bloom early, and the flowering period was long, and it flourished until the middle of winter.

Nangong Yu felt the warm air coming to her face before she even walked to Yukun Palace. It was really warm like spring, and the fragrance of flowers was pleasant. Unfortunately, she had no time to appreciate the scenery. She quickly walked to the edge of the flowers and saw that Queen Mother Mo was directing Bai Zhi and others to shuttle through the hibiscus flowers and cut off the withered flowers from the branches. Hibiscus flowers only bloom for one day, and there are a large number of fallen and withered flowers every day. These withered flowers naturally cannot be left hanging on the branches to be an eyesore, so every day Queen Mother Mo would personally direct the palace maids to pick and trim the withered flowers on the branches.

Empress Dowager Mo didn’t need to worry about pruning flowers and plants, but she regarded it as a pleasure and often did it herself, watering, weeding, and pruning her hibiscus flowers without the help of others.

"Mother!"

Nangong Yu called out and bowed: "Mother, Yu'er wants to discuss something with you!"

When Queen Mother Mo heard the voice, she turned around and saw Nangong Yu in a cool outfit. She was immediately shocked and said: "It's so springy, why are you wearing a gauze dress? Come on, go into the house."

After that, she shouted: "Are the people you serve dead? Didn't you see that the princess is wearing so little? Can't you advise her? At the very least, you should prepare a cloak for the princess. Why did you let her run away like this?"

The maids serving Nangong Yu didn't dare to say anything wrong about Nangong Yu. They all knelt down in fear and kowtowed, saying, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. It was our negligence. We won't dare to do it again. Please forgive us this time..."

Nangong Yu interrupted them and said: " Mother, I came to see you today to discuss something with you. Please go into the house with me. "

Seeing Nangong Yu's pale face, Empress Dowager Mo guessed that what she was talking about was probably related to Mo Ziqi, so she said: "Well, Ziqi and his new wife will come to visit me soon, so I'll go back to tidy up and wait to see them. "

Hearing this, Nangong Yi's expression suddenly became painful. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and said: "Mother, what I discussed with you today is related to cousin Ziqi..."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Mo handed the small gold scissors inlaid with gemstones in her hand to Bai Zhi, looked around, and said coldly: "You are all waiting outside. No one is allowed to enter the palace without my imperial decree." After that, she took Nangong Yi straight into the bedroom.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Nangong Yu knelt down and choked up: "Mother, I have something to ask for!"

Empress Dowager Mo sighed: "Yu'er, mother knows what you are going to say, but it's not that mother doesn't help you in that matter, it's really that Ziqi has no interest in you. Mother has already said that you and the second daughter of the Mu family will marry him together. The two of you will be his legal wives regardless of your status, but he refused and insisted on marrying the second daughter of the Mu family in this life... Mother has tried her best. This kind of thing can't be forced, not to mention Ziqi's stubborn personality, there is no way to force it..."
