Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Precious Flower, Hot Potato

Looking content at the flower between her two paws, Xi Xizhi giggled happily.

"The Blue Plume flower was a token of love given to me by the former Emperor. He went through a lot of effort to find it back then. I had been waiting for four years, and finally, it bloomed. So today, I specifically invited you all to see it in the imperial garden." An elderly voice spoke, laughing as she did, sounding rather proud.

Several voices, like melodious bells, laughed in response, "Empress Dowager, you just wanted to open our eyes. We are more than happy to oblige."

Xi Xizhi's sensitive ears picked up the conversation from afar as she lowered her head to look at the blue flower in her arms. Could it be the 'Blue Plume' they were talking about?

Anxious, Xi Xizhi wanted to escape, but the group entered the pavilion in the blink of an eye. Was it really her misfortune lately that things had gone wrong left and right?
