Chapter 1629: A Fortune

“These flowers, grass, and trees hold spiritual significance. Look at the vitality of these begonia flowers. The Fourth Prince’s residence is sure to be blessed this year! It’s an auspicious sign!”

“Yes!”

“…”

The sentiments of everyone resonated with the Fourth Princess Consort, filling her with joy!

In contrast, the Princess Consort’s face contorted with anger and disbelief as she glared at the blooming flowers.

Good omen? Good luck? Spiritual presence in flowers and trees? Omens?

The prince was born into the prosperous Tian family, and their wealth was already substantial. What more auspicious signs did the Fourth Prince desire? What additional good luck did he seek?

Were they insinuating rebellion?

But why, of all places, did such a favorable event occur in the Fourth Prince’s residence? Even if the flowers and trees possessed life, the spiritual essence should reside in the Crown Prince’s abode!

The flattering and laughter from the ladies felt like sharp needles, each word piercing Princess Consort’s heart.

She could ignore other matters; they were inconsequential. However, she would not tolerate anything that cast doubt on the Crown Prince’s position.

Unable to endure it any longer, Princess Consort spoke calmly, “It’s bitterly cold, so why is the crabapple tree suddenly blooming? Moreover, it would be understandable if just one or two branches were in bloom, but the entire tree covered in flowers is certainly not normal! Besides, I distinctly recall that the crabapple tree showed no signs of blooming when we passed by earlier. In such a short time, how could it… it’s truly peculiar!”

A hush fell over the crowd, the smiles fading from their faces.

Most had come to realize the inappropriateness of praising the Fourth Prince’s mansion in front of the Princess Consort!

A sense of unease spread among the assembly.

The madams and young madams of the Tian Family , who had been the most fervent in their praise, now felt a heightened sense of discomfort. Guiltily, they lowered their heads and averted their eyes.

The Fourth Princess Consort’s smile froze in response.

Princess Consort, on the other hand, felt a surge of satisfaction. She smiled and quipped to the Fourth Princess Consort, “Have you orchestrated something to bring such joy to everyone?”

Internally seething, the Fourth Princess Consort had no intention of mocking anyone, especially not the Princess Consort.

“How would I know? The crabapple tree clearly bloomed. I find it quite beautiful. There’s nothing strange about it. The world is filled with all sorts of peculiarities! What’s the harm if a tree decides to bloom?”

“I find the madams’ reasoning quite plausible. This area likely boasts favorable terrain with abundant energy veins. The recent sunny weather and warmth have prompted the blooming, haven’t they?”

She was not afraid of Princess Consort like others might be. It was a propitious omen, and she saw no reason to downplay it.

Envy flashed in Princess Consort’s eyes at the auspicious sign bestowed upon the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

However, her envy meant little.

While simmering with fury internally, Princess Consort managed to maintain a composed demeanor. She smiled and remarked, “Fourth Sister-in-law, your explanation seems rather baseless. If this location truly enjoys favorable conditions and warmth, there should be more than one crabapple tree here. Why is this the sole blooming tree? It doesn’t add up!”

“Furthermore, as we passed by earlier, this crabapple tree was still barren. Not a single flower bud was visible. The sudden burst of blossoms doesn’t make sense!”

“In my opinion, this is highly unorthodox!”

A momentary unease settled over the crowd, their expressions subtly shifting.

Deep down, they found themselves increasingly aligned with Princess Consort’s perspective.

Indeed, this whole thing appeared highly weird…
