Chapter 146: Hibiscus Flowers
Jing Ye didn't know what happened in the carriage, but judging from Lan Ning's fleeing appearance, he felt that it was probably related to His Royal Highness the Prince.
After all, Lan Ning had never been so panicked when facing the four of them.
"Your Highness, did he bully you?" Jing Ye frowned. He was very dissatisfied with Liang Chen's existence. That guy had made Lan Ning cry many times.
Lanning nodded, "Yes!"
Jing Ye's face darkened. It seemed that they had not been lenient last time. This guy had no memory.
"Are we there yet?" Lan Ning suddenly smelled a very strong and unfamiliar floral scent. She looked around and found a sea of pink blossoms not far away.
Lan Ning pointed at the sea of flowers and asked, "What kind of flowers are those? They are so beautiful!"
Jingye looked in the direction of her finger, and saw large patches of pink flower crowns connected together, with red ropes hanging from the tree trunks underneath. He remembered that it was the "holy land" of Fuso City.
"The hibiscus flower, a specialty of Fuso City, looks similar to cherry blossoms, but has a stronger fragrance than cherry blossoms. The flowering period is half a year." Xuan Mo appeared beside Lan Ning at the right time.
There were a lot of people coming and going in that place, including some wives wearing luxurious clothes, surrounded by groups of three or four. If you look more closely, you will find that they all hold red sachets in their hands, bow to the sea of flowers and trees, and then tie the red sachets to the tree trunks.
"The sea of flowers in front of us is the most famous place in Fuso City. It is said that if an orc wants to be chosen by his mistress, he only needs to enter the sea of flowers and make a wish, and his wish will come true." After saying that, Xuan Mo reached out and touched Lan Ning's hair. He saw that Lan Ning's ears moved because of interest.
Xuan Mo couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. His wife was a person who was very curious about unfamiliar things. I'm afraid that her heart would fly to the sea of flowers to take a closer look.
But we have already arrived at the city gate, and logically we should visit the manager here first.
Xuan Mo took her hand and said, "Let's go. After visiting the wife of Fusang, come back and take a look."
Wanjing City has visitors visiting, so Fuso City is naturally well prepared.
When the group reached the city gate, they saw a middle-aged man in a dark purple official robe approaching with a smile, "I am the husband of the wife of Fusang. Just call me Huai Zhong. Meet Princess Lan Ning and meet Minister Xuan."
What the empress needs to do during her tour is to meet with the wives of the various cities and ask about the latest developments in the city or if there are any plans.
It would be difficult for Lan Ning to handle this kind of thing alone, so the empress asked Xuan Mo to come along, also hoping that her ministers, who were too busy during this period, could spend more time with Lan Ning.
If a war breaks out in the future, her daughter will probably have to stay alone in her room for a long time.
Lan Ning was also reminded by Xuan Mo in the carriage what to say to different people and what to do when they follow them.
Although she is not allowed to attend court now, Xuan Mo has never stopped teaching her, and she has been moving towards becoming a wise empress.
"Get up." Lan Ning looked at the handsome man. She found that there were very few orcs in this world whose appearance changed as they aged.
People like them who are getting older seem to just have a few more wrinkles on their faces.
Perfect Xiaoliu said that here, only the orcs who are about to die will look old and frail, which means that the inner elixir in their bodies no longer has any power.
"So how long is the lifespan of the orcs?" Lan Ning suddenly realized a very crucial question.
The woman named Lan Ji lived for nearly a thousand years. If Mo He hadn't taken advantage of her distraction and let the spider devour her, she might not have been killed by ordinary means.
A woman who had lived for nearly a thousand years was still a charming beauty when Lan Ning was born.
Perfect Xiaoliu: "The stronger one is, the longer one lives. The deceased Lan Ji is the one with the longest lifespan in this world. She is 1211 years old."
More than a thousand years old...
Lan Ning: "Can I live that long? Can Xuan Heng and the others live as long as me?"
If not, how lonely she will be in the future.
Perfect Xiaoliu: "As of now, it is not easy for you to die if you have the spiritual source. The biggest feature of this skill is that it is endless. As your husband, as long as he is touched by the spiritual source, he can gain powerful strength and change their inner elixir at the same time."
In other words, as long as you don't seek death, you won't die so easily.
Lanning understood.
Perfect Xiaoliu: "Also, let me remind you that Lingyan's current strength has surpassed yours, so you have to work harder too."
Lanning: "...You are talking more and more nonsense."
Of course she knew that she was not strong enough at the moment and could be caught easily!
Moreover, she will definitely face a lot of pursuits and assassinations this time, so she, as the person involved, needs to work harder!
Cutting off the conversation with the perfect Xiaoliu, Lan Ning entered the palace accompanied by Xuan Mo and met the friendly-looking Fuso wife.
After the interview, the Fuso wife held Lan Ning's hand and refused to let go. She watched the people around her get busy, then she pulled Lan Ning to the small garden behind the palace.
"Last time, when various countries proposed marriage, my useless little son was not old enough to go. You came to see if he likes it." The Fuso wife pulled Lan Ning aside and chattered about family matters.
She has nine sons in total, most of whom were chosen by their wives in other small countries. The only one is the youngest son, who is only fifteen years old this year. He is not old enough to be a candidate and has been delayed in Fuso City.
The wife of Fusang liked Lan Ning very much when she saw her. How many years had it been since she had seen such a neat and beautiful princess?
The baby born must be very good-looking!
Fusang's wife was determined to let Lan Ning go and see her little son. "The child's name is Huixing, and his father is from the White Lion Clan."
Lan Ning is afraid of the elders' persuasion to get married. The men around her are more jealous than each other. If she brings another one back home, won't her Tinglan Palace be in turmoil?
However, after hearing the good description given by the Fuso wife, she also felt itchy to take a look. The spirited young man from the Lion tribe sounded very desirable.
So Lan Ning did not refuse and followed his wife from Fuso. Along the way, he heard a lot of other rumors about Fuso City.
For example, the sea of flowers outside the city is a major feature of Fuso City. The flowering period is half a year. During the flowering period, the fragrance is so strong that it can be smelled a hundred miles away. However, I can't guarantee that those who worship the sea of flowers will get their wishes come true.
"Everything depends on human efforts. If the gods control everything, wouldn't we just be lazy and idle? "After hearing this, the Fusang wife just smiled. She obviously did not agree with those who did not work hard but prayed to the gods.
Lan Ning felt that this Fusang wife was very insightful.
She smiled and said, "God is not omnipotent."
She prayed for God's salvation many times when she was at her lowest point, but perhaps there were too many people around and God was too busy at that time, so she still died in the car accident under the heavy pressure.
After coming to this place, she often thought that being chosen by the system was probably God's salvation for her!
But how the future will go depends on her.
