The Queen of Fortune, please enter the palace

Chapter 264 National Teacher's Mansion 7
Whether the emperor's words were accusations or appreciation, he had already heard it very clearly.

He had indeed spent a lot of money on arranging the garden, how could he have expected that the emperor would suddenly propose to eat and enjoy the flowers?

"Your majesty, you have a taste of this lotus root..."

Chao Li hurriedly leaned over to help Zhuo Yan rush the cloth, trying to divert his attention.

It's just that Zhuo Yanchong himself is not very interested in meals.

He just ate a few mouthfuls casually, and asked slowly: "Master, why don't you see that strange flower from the Western Regions?"

"It's like this...the exotic flowers of the Western Regions are extraordinarily delicate, so I ordered someone to take care of them..."

Chao Li explained with a smile.

Then he waved to the two servants at the garden gate and said, "Bring up those two pots of exotic flowers from the Western Regions!"

Jin Yuan, who was originally focused on vegetarian food, saw the fiery red and fresh exotic flowers of the Western Regions, and all her attention was unconsciously attracted.

She has never seen such flowers, redder than blood, more colorful than neon clothes.

There seems to be a drop of water hanging on the delicate petals, like a beauty's tears, which makes people feel pity.

Jin Yuan was about to reach out to wipe the drop of water off the petals, but was stopped by Chao Li.

"Miss Jinyuan, this flower is too delicate, you should only watch it, not touch it..."

Chao Li smiled and reminded Jin Yuandao.

Jin Yuan had no choice but to give up and stared at the two potted flowers for a long time. The more she looked at the flowers, the more bewitching they became.

Maybe it was because the petals were too red, she even had an illusion that the water drop was also bright red... like a drop of blood!
"National Teacher, do you have a history of this strange flower from the Western Regions?"

Zhuo Yanchong asked in a deep voice, frowning slightly.

For some reason, as soon as he saw this flower, an inexplicable boredom surged in his heart unconsciously.

"Back to the emperor, this flower comes from the Miao people in the Western Regions. It is said that there used to be a poor woman, but because of her ugly face, she couldn't wait for her lover for a long time. Later, God saw her pitiful, and let her die and turn into a flower. , incomparably coquettish, more beautiful than all the faces of women in the world..."

Chao Li replied respectfully.

Finding that the emperor's expression was not right, he hurriedly stopped and did not continue talking.

"Master, what is the name of this flower?"

Jin Yuan asked curiously.
