"It is my honor to be able to explain this to Your Highness..."
Then Su Jing began to talk about the new flowers and plants that had been acquired for the greenhouse.
Chrysanthemum, peony, herbaceous peony, evening glory, poppy, hibiscus, water lily, trumpet vine, orchid...
With so many categories, varieties, and precious flowers, Anning was overwhelmed by the sheer variety. However, some of the flowers were quite interesting!
An Ning asked with curiosity, "These 'Evening Glory' and 'Water Fairy' sound very unfamiliar. I wonder what kind of flowers they are?"
"The evening glory flower may sound unfamiliar, but it is actually a common flower, often found in the countryside. It is named for blooming only at night. Many of the ladies in the palace thought the flower was beautiful and that it was rare for it to bloom at night. They found it quite interesting to plant it in a corner of the wall, so the flower room always kept it on hand."
"As for the 'Lingbo Fairy,' it is actually a daffodil. This flower existed in the Song Dynasty, but it is not common. The daffodils in the flower room come from Fujian and are all carefully selected tributes. They are rarely seen outside the palace, so Your Highness may not have heard of them."
"I would be grateful if Eunuch Su could send some over according to my allotted allowance. If any of these are unique items from the flower shop, please make sure they are sent to the wrong person, as I am not worthy of them."
She was afraid of being labeled as arrogant and spoiled for no reason.
Su Jing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "This servant will certainly do as Your Majesty instructs."
He knew this was a warning to him.
Then Su Jing added, "I just heard Your Highness say that the front courtyard of Changchun Palace is empty, but there are still quite a few flowering trees in the flower room. Would Your Highness like me to send over a few?"
What kinds of trees are there?
"Osmanthus trees, magnolia trees, pomegranate trees, plum trees..."
These are all trees commonly seen in the palace, with auspicious meanings.
"Please send over two osmanthus trees."
As An Ning said this, the opening speeches of the principals before the apocalypse suddenly flashed through her mind. The first sentence was always about the golden autumn of September (October), when the sweet osmanthus blossoms were in full bloom...
It's not September or October yet, but the osmanthus trees have already been planted. When the time comes, the whole courtyard will surely be filled with fragrance.
