Some scholars were also allowed in who gathered there to brew tea, make poetry and do paintings.
The place where the First Madame took Qiao Xuan to was this small plum garden.
"The large patch of plum is more lively, located in the back mountains. Let's walk around here and then head to the back mountain!"
Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile.
The plum garden was in a very beautiful location. The trees were full of flowers and branches were full of plum blossoms, the clouds were misty and seemed to have descended to earth, which created a wonderful scene.
First Madame had not appreciated flowers for years. This year also, she had almost missed the chance to see the plums. So, when she saw the scene, she became very emotional at this time. But for Qiao Xuan who healed her husband, she would not have the time to visit this place full of beautiful flowers in her entire life.
As she thought about this, she threw an even more gentle look at Qiao Xuan. First Madame led Qiao Xuan to look at the flowers, as they headed towards the ancient green plum tree.
When the tree appeared in front of her eyes, Qiao Xuan's eyes turned bright. She felt that the whole scene turned so clear.
So, the space wanted it as well…
The ancient green plum was very thick, and the dark branches were vigorous and simple, revealing the vicissitudes of time. But the tree was full of vitality and blooming flowers.
They could smell the wonderful scent even from far away.
The plum blossom stamens were really dark, and the color gradually became lighter when it spread outwards. When it reached the end of the petals, it turned very pale. It almost looked white from a distance. But when you looked closely, you could see a faint trace of greenery…
There was not only this green plum in this garden. All the way here, Qiao Xuan had seen many green plums. But they were not as beautiful, elegant and noble as the one in front of her.
Also, the flowers were not so pure or crystal clear.
She understood the matter in her heart. No wonder it was said to be a mother tree. It was naturally different from the others. Whether it was grafted or bred, the green plum next to it had not completely copied and inherited the beautiful color of the mother tree.
No wonder her space had this strong reaction towards this very green plum.
"This is the ancient green plum tree? How beautiful?!"
Qiao Xuan approached it, looking excited.
First Madame smiled. "Yeah! Everyone loves it!"
The plum tree was very big, First Madame and her servant were also admiring the plum blossoms. Qiao Xuan turned her back to her a little further away, gently raised her hand to stroke the flower branch, and with a little force, quickly snapped off a two-inch long flower branch. She quickly put the flower branch into the space.
She felt slightly apologetic.
She raised her hands and put her hand on the branch, silently putting the superpower into the ancient green plums so as to inject her magical energy into it.
She said quietly, "I will give you magical energy after taking one branch from you. We are even now!"
She could have never got a branch of the green plum tree, which was regarded as a treasure by Fuyu Temple, if she asked for it from the monks. So, she had to deal with the ancient green plum directly.
With the green plum in hand, Qiao Xuan was in a good mood and walked around with First Madame.
They went to a few other places in the temple, and it was lunchtime.
Every table in Fuyu Temple's vegetarian restaurant had twelve dishes and one soup. They entered the private room, and the vegetarian dishes served in white porcelain bowls were quickly served.
Each dish seemed great and had a beautiful name, looking delicious..
