The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

In the morning, the breeze blows gently, the flowers in the garden are dripping with morning dew, and the fragrance is everywhere, which is fascinating.

Shen Leyan was looking for flowers in the bushes that could be used to make lip balm. These flowers had to be brightly colored.

However, she couldn't find a suitable one in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion. She used peach blossoms last time, but they have now withered. Now the most prosperous flower in the garden is hydrangea.

Just because Mrs. Shen liked the colorful hydrangeas, Prime Minister Shen planted a garden of hydrangeas and a huge wood hydrangea tree.

The huge flower balls are plump and fresh. They are light green when they first bloom, and then they bloom into white as snow.

Clusters and clumps of flowers hang all over the branches.

A gentle breeze blew, gently rippling between the green leaves and dark branches, echoing with other dreamy colors.

However, Shen Leyan remembered that the particles emitted by hydrangeas could cause skin allergies and itching if people came into contact with them for a long time, so she did not dare to use this flower rashly.

After strolling around the garden for a whole morning, Shen Leyan sat under the hydrangea tree drinking tea, supporting her head with one hand and lost in thought...

She had already picked the gardenias for making the floral dew, but she had no materials for making the lip balm.

They happened to be seen by the prince and others who were led by Shen Lebai to Shen's father's study. He wanted to introduce them first, after all, they were a bit far away and Shen Leyan didn't notice them either.

But before he could speak, the prince who was walking in front suddenly stopped and asked, "Is that the woman sitting under the tree the second daughter of the Shen family?"

"It's my little sister Le Yan."

Shen Lebai quickly signaled to the servant beside him: "Why don't you go and ask the young lady to come over and pay her respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The prince smiled and said, "That's fine. Why don't we go over and take a look?"

"The garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very unique. I have never seen anything like it before."

"Yes, I wonder what rare and exotic flowers Brother Shen has planted at home?" The prince's retainer also asked in confusion.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness, and everyone else. This flower isn't some rare or precious species. It's just an ordinary hydrangea."

"Just because my mother liked it, my father planted a few more. I didn't expect this flower to have such a strong reproductive ability, and somehow it even produced so many hybrid colors."

"Hydrangeas?"

"Yes, this flower is also called the hydrangea. Your Highness, do you think its shape is similar to that of a hydrangea?"

“It is indeed very similar.”

"So now we call it hydrangea. My sister told me this."

"Oh? I've learned a lot today. Miss Shen is truly very smart."

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words were full of praise for Miss Shen, the guests naturally followed suit.

"As expected of the Prime Minister's daughter, she will surely become famous in the capital in the future!"

"It's okay. If Miss Shen hadn't been so low-key, I don't think Kong Muyun would have been given the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital."

"I think so. During the last spring hunt, I saw from afar that Miss Shen was truly an immortal. She looked so heroic in her red dress!"

"If we hadn't seen Brother Shen at the time, we wouldn't have known it was your sister."

"Yes, Brother Shen is really secretive. I wonder how old your sister is and if she's married?"

Shen Lebai was surrounded by people talking at once, and finally had a chance to speak: "My brothers, thank you for your praise. I just like to study flowers and plants, and I know a thing or two."

"Le Yan just turned 16 this year. My mother and father are reluctant to let my sister get married. They want her to stay for two more years, so she hasn't married yet."

"But some time ago, my mother was looking for someone for my sister."

"As for whether it's settled or not, I'm not particularly clear. It all depends on what the girl thinks."

"Listening to what Brother Shen said, it seems that Miss Shen already has someone she loves."

"That's not my intention. It's just that her parents dote on her, and she's always had her own opinions, so it depends on her own feelings."

The prince looked at Shen Leyan with a smile, a hint of barely perceptible interest flashed in his eyes, and he strode towards her.

At this moment, Shen Leyan noticed the conversation. She stood up, saluted the Crown Prince, and said in a clear voice, "Greetings, His Royal Highness."

The prince smiled gently, "Miss Shen, there's no need to be so polite.

I just saw Miss Shen sitting here in a daze for a long time. It seems like she has encountered something troublesome?"

Shen Leyan was a little confused about the Crown Prince's attitude. "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just a small matter and not a big deal."

"I heard that Miss Shen is quite knowledgeable about flowers, and I'm very interested in her. This hydrangea in front of me is really eye-catching."

"Your Highness also knows about hydrangeas?"

The prince chuckled, "I didn't know that originally, thanks to Master Shen's explanation just now, but it seems that the most powerful person is Miss Shen."

"Your Highness is wrong. I am unworthy of your words. I was just taking advantage of the situation."

"Ms. Shen is being too modest. You are a flower lover and well-versed in poetry and literature. Even if you are taking shortcuts, you still need to have a certain level of understanding."

The prince then looked at the gardenias on the table and said, "These gardenias are rich in fragrance and as white as snow. I wonder what Miss Shen plans to do with them?"

Shen Leyan squeezed the gardenia petals in her hand and said, "I picked these to make gardenia fragrance water."

"Gardenia perfume? Is it similar to what women use to put on makeup?"

"That's about right, but the floral water I make from fresh flowers is more suitable for nourishing the skin."

"I didn't expect that flowers could have such wonderful uses besides being ornamental and used for making tea."

Shen Leyan smiled and said, "I like to tinker with these things on a daily basis. This is also based on my own research interests."

"In addition to floral dew, there are also lip balm and rouge, all of which can be made from fresh flowers, but there are also requirements for the type of flowers."

"So Miss Shen's trouble just now was that she couldn't find suitable flowers?"

Shen Leyan sighed helplessly, "Exactly. The hydrangeas in this garden are beautiful, but you can only look at them and not touch them."

Although the prince didn't know why, he immediately said after hearing her helpless tone, "I know a place that must have flowers suitable for Miss Shen."

Seeing the Crown Prince's determined expression, she tentatively asked, "Imperial...Imperial Garden?"

"That's right. All the exotic flowers and plants in the world are in the palace. Miss Shen can pick as many as she wants."

Shen Leyan was a little amused. She went to the palace just to pick flowers? Unless she was crazy?

"How can we enter and exit the palace as we please? Besides, we'll just have to wait for some time until the other flowers bloom."

"Why wait? The flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom right now. Isn't now the perfect time to pick them?"

"Besides, I'm here. I just happen to have something to discuss with the Prime Minister today. After we finish discussing it, I can bring Miss Shen into the palace."

"However, I still need to report to my father on an important matter, so I can't stay with Miss Shen in the Imperial Garden. After Miss Shen finishes picking, I will come to pick you up from the palace."

After the prince finished speaking, he strode away in a hurry, thinking that he had to finish discussing things quickly so that he could bring Shen Leyan into the palace.
