Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Afterwards, the King of England introduced the precious chrysanthemums lined up on the side one by one. Among them, the black chrysanthemum and green peony were both famous treasures, while the Erqiao and Yaotai Jade Phoenix in the middle were even more rare and precious.

Just when everyone was applauding the pots of rare and precious products in front of them and saying that the trip was worthwhile, the King of England winked at a steward with interest, and soon the steward came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake holding a pot of chrysanthemums.

For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the pot of chrysanthemums that the steward had just brought. On the branch of the pot of chrysanthemums, a chrysanthemum with petals as white as jade and an extremely elegant flower shape was in full bloom. On the two branches beside it, there were two flowers in bud. This pot of chrysanthemums made people feel pure and flawless, and exceptionally noble.

The King of England was delighted when he saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on his favorite pot of chrysanthemums.

"Hahaha..., this pot of chrysanthemums is my favorite one, does anyone know what kind it is?"

Everyone present heard the King's question, but no one could answer it for a moment. They all kept looking at the pot of pure and flawless precious chrysanthemums with extremely elegant flowers.

The King of England saw that no one at the scene seemed to be able to name the variety of the chrysanthemums. For a moment, he couldn't help feeling a little smug, so he planned to ask politely and then announce the answer.

Seeing the admiring looks on everyone's faces, the King of England was very pleased, so he asked some more questions, then raised his eyes and began to wander from the direction of the third prince. When he was almost done with the circle, still no one could tell the variety of the chrysanthemum.

At this moment, King Ying's gaze fell on Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng who were sitting in the corner. Liang Jingcheng shook his head slightly, but when Ye Changyan met King Ying's eyes, he seemed to muster up his courage, smiled calmly at King Ying, and spoke.

"Your Highness, this pot of chrysanthemums is as white as jade, and the flower shape is elegant and dignified. It seems to be quite similar to a variety of chrysanthemum called Yuhuchun that I remember."

There were many sons of nobles present, and most of the younger generation of scholars in Shengjing City were also present. After the King of England asked all these questions, no one knew the variety of the chrysanthemum, so no one expected that anyone would know the variety of the chrysanthemum. After hearing what Ye Changyan said, many people thought that Ye Changyan was just trying to attract attention, so many people looked at Ye Changyan with some contempt and disdain.

But when he heard Ye Changyan mention the name of this chrysanthemum variety, the King of England, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect that someone could actually say the name of such a rare and precious variety. The King of England nodded with appreciation.

"Mr. Ye is right. The variety of this chrysanthemum is indeed Yuhuchun."

Everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment, because few of them had heard of the name of the chrysanthemum variety Yuhuchun. Everyone looked at the pot of noble chrysanthemums, then at Ye Changyan with a humble face, and finally at the King of England with a happy face. They all wanted to hear the story of this precious pot of chrysanthemums from the King of England.

Feeling everyone's gazes on him, the King of England looked at Ye Changyan with a smile and asked.

"I think that this Jade Pot Spring is an extremely rare variety of chrysanthemum. This pot of chrysanthemum was not easy to come by. I wonder where Mr. Ye saw this Jade Pot Spring."

In fact, Ye Changyan went to West Lake for a trip in his previous life and happened to encounter a chrysanthemum exhibition being held there. He had seen Yuhuchun in the boutique area of the West Lake chrysanthemum exhibition, but Ye Changyan could not tell the truth. His brain was working rapidly for a while and he soon thought of a response.

"Your Highness, after the Dragon Boat Festival, when I accompanied my teacher to the Yujing Palace, I saw a record of some precious flowers in a book in the Yujing Palace. Among them, Yuhuchun was mentioned. The picture of Yuhuchun in the book is quite similar to the one in front of you, Your Highness. That's why I made a bold guess."

The King of England naturally knew that not long after the Dragon Boat Festival polo match, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng accompanied Cai Zhengqing and Ye Changyan's parents all the way north to the depths of Mangshan Mountain in the northern suburbs of Shengjing. According to reports from their own people, the people from Yujing Palace personally came down the mountain to greet them, and the gatekeepers of Yujing Palace carried Cai Zhengqing and Ye Changyan's parents up to Mangshan Mountain in a sedan chair.

Although Yujing Palace does not care about worldly affairs among the sects in the world, it has an extraordinary status. Moreover, Yujing Palace has always been mysterious and low-key, so his people did not find out any specific circumstances later. Therefore, King Ying could only guess that Cai Zhengqing had some dealings with Yujing Palace.

King Ying did not doubt Ye Changyan's words. After all, Yuhuchun was indeed rare. But with the strength of Yujing Palace, it was not surprising that they had a book that recorded similar exotic flowers and plants.

But when everyone present heard Ye Changyan mention Yujing Palace, they were all a little surprised. Although the Yujing Palace was nearby in the suburbs of Beijing, in the minds of the scholars and students present, the Yujing Palace was a place that was far away and out of reach, like the horizon.

In the minds of the people of Shengjing, Yujing Palace is a place full of mystery. The scholars and students present have also heard some mysterious rumors about Yujing Palace.

For example, there were immortals living in the Yujing Palace, there were elixirs in the Yujing Palace that could make people live a hundred years, and there were clouds and mists in the Yujing Palace, which was a fairyland left behind by the immortals in the human world. In any case, the Yujing Palace was regarded as magical by the people of Shengjing.

The princes who were members of the royal family knew more about the real situation of the Yujing Palace than other scholars. It was said that during the Wu Dynasty, there was a genius named Gongshu Wuzhi. Due to the emperor's stupidity and incompetence and the rampant corruption of the bureaucracy, he resolutely resigned from his post despite the emperor's attempts to retain him, and eventually retired to the Yujing Palace.

It is said that Gongshu Wuji is good at fortune-telling and he even accurately predicted the famous event of the Liangzhou earth dragon rising in the history of the Wu Dynasty. Therefore, Gongshu Wuji was gradually deified in the minds of the people in later generations.

According to some rumors, Gongshu Wuzhi seemed to have left a door in the Yujing Palace that could communicate between heaven and earth. For this reason, the founding emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty went to Mangshan in person. Although the gates of the Yujing Palace were wide open, only Taizu was allowed to enter. Taizu stayed in the Yujing Palace for three days and three nights before leaving.

After coming out of Yujing Palace, Emperor Taizu never told anyone what he had seen and heard in the palace. After that, Emperor Taizu worked hard to govern the dynasty, and eventually expanded the territory of the dynasty to an unprecedented new height, becoming a great ruler who had made great achievements in both civil and military affairs.
