Luo Ji faintly heard a hint of excitement in his tone and nodded.
"It was indeed not in bloom when I went there a few days ago, but I don't know whether it will be in bloom these days. I am currently in charge of the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods, and the sacred flowers are in the care of the prince."
