Chapter 791 - 471 Waiting for You_2
The man stopped in his tracks when he noticed Jiang Ning.
He turned to the side and looked at the woman beside him, and sure enough, just as expected, the woman was looking at the other party.
The kind of look in the woman’s eyes had never appeared in the few times she had met with the man.
The man felt displeased inside. Was it just because the young man was a bit handsome?
What’s the use of being handsome? It can’t be eaten as food. In this day and age, talent is the first priority.
He cleared his throat and smoothly began to introduce the flowers in front of him:

"There is a legend that Wu Zetian’s favorite flower was the peony. One winter, a heavy snow fell in Chang’an, and Wu Zetian led the officials to the imperial garden to enjoy the snowy view. However, in the winter, only the plum blossoms were in bloom. Wu Zetian had just ascended the throne and wanted to use the flowers to show her authority, so she ordered the flowers to bloom the next day."
"When Wu Zetian returned to the garden the next day, guess what? All the flowers had bloomed except for the peony, which remained lifeless, not giving her any face."
