Birthday (2)
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking her mind, she sighed with some regret, “It’s a pity that we don’t have begonias plants here. Even if I were to succeed in brewing the wine this year, I wouldn’t be able to bury it under the begonia plant.”
This was the beginning of spring, and it was the time that Mother Nature started to come to life after the cold winter, so Mu Mingtang often went to the garden in the mansion to enjoy the fresh fragrance of flowers. Although the garden was full of exotic flowers and plants, she didn’t see a lot of begonia plants. There were only two begonia plants; one had not sprouted, and the other was almost withered.
After Mu Mingtang told about the birthday wine being buried under a begonia plant, Xie Xuanche frowned but didn’t say anything at the end.
…
It was soon the first day of April as the spring scenery outside the window became more and more vibrant and noticeable.
It was Mu Mingtang’s birthday today, and as soon as she opened her eyes in the morning, the first thing she did was to ask Xie Xuanchen for a gift, “Where is my birthday gift?”
Xie Xuanchen, who was already properly dressed, gave a smile when he heard his wife’s words and told her, “Oh~ I forgot.”
Mu Mingtang watched her husband’s face intently as she asked with a heartache apparent in her voice. “Really?”
Xie Xuanchen looked at Mu Mingtang’s disheartened appearance, and couldn’t help but smile even more widely, “Haha… I was joking. If you want to see it then get dressed first.”
As Mu Mingtang knew that Xie Xuanchen was a sly person, she didn’t trust his words this time. However, the maids came running in and said excitedly, “Princess, hurry up! Come out and see!”
“What’s happening?” Mu Mingtang didn’t understand what was going on and was still in a daze, so a maid hurriedly put a cloak on Mu Mingtang and dragged her to the window. As soon as the window was opened, Mu Mingtang was startled by the scene outside.
“There is a begonia plant in full bloom in the garden.”
Mu Mingtang was very surprised, “How could it be… It is obvious that there wasn’t one yesterday.”
When Mu Mingtang’s words flew out in a stutter clearly showing her disbelief, the maids were very excited and rushed to tell her, “Princess, there’s more. There’s a whole street outside filled with begonia plants!”
“A whole street?” Mu Mingtang could not believe her ears.
“That’s right!”
Mu Mingtang tiptoed and tried to see the outside scenery despite knowing that she wouldn’t be able to see the street from the window. She felt that today was much more lively than on other days.
Seeing such a beautiful and pleasing view early in the morning, Mu Mingtang also became excited and said, “Help me change quickly, I want to go out and have a look.”
“Yes, Princess.”
Mu Mingtang changed her clothes hurriedly with a cheerful smile the whole time, and then she together with the maids climbed up the gate tower only to discover that the main street outside their mansion had actually been filled with begonia plants overnight.
Not only them, but also the passersby in the street were astonished, clustered together, and were pointing at the begonia plants that had appeared out of nowhere. Someone, who was well-informed about this matter, gestured to Prince An’s mansion while talking with others around him.
Mu Mingtang stood on the gate tower, even if she couldn’t hear them, she could guess what they were talking about.
It was obvious that only royal family members could actually make such a big move. There were two palaces on this street: one was the low-key Prince Jin’s residence, and the other was the perverse and unrestrained Prince An’s residence. Everyone could already guess that it was Prince An who had made it happen overnight.
At this time, some people saw Mu Mingtang and the maids on the gate tower, and rushed to look at them. Mu Mingtang had already seen the begonia flowers, and she didn’t want to be stared at by others like animals in a circus, so she immediately left with her maids.
