Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1628: Blossom

The entire transformation took less than three minutes. The once gray and barren crabapple tree now burst into a profusion of flowers. Pink blossoms densely adorned the branches, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

The trees were now adorned with flowers, creating a vision of clouds. From a distance, it resembled a pink cloud gently swaying in the breeze under the bright sunlight—a truly beautiful sight.

Once everything was accomplished, Qiao Xuan retracted her power.

Shortly after, exclamations filled the air.

“Ah! It’s blooming! Look, it’s blooming!”

“What?”

“Can you believe it? The crabapple tree—it’s blooming!”

“Ah!”

“Heavens, am I hallucinating? It was completely bare just a moment ago…”

“I-I didn’t imagine it. How is this possible!”

“It’s so peculiar!”

“Heavenly Bodhisattva!”

“…”

The maidservants on the corridor were utterly astonished, their worldviews on the verge of shattering. Witnessing what seemed like a miracle, they couldn’t contain their excitement, engaging in non-stop discussions.

Caught up in their astonishment, the maidservants momentarily forgot themselves. Their animated conversation quickly drew the attention of those inside the opera house. Frowning, they went out to scold the maidservants, stern expressions on their faces.

The maidservants, eager to share their discovery, all talked at once, pointing excitedly at the splendid crabapple tree bathed in sunlight.

Witnessing the transformation, the maids and other servants couldn’t help but widen their eyes and exclaim, “Ah!”

Some of the elder ones even doubted their eyesight due to age and hastily rubbed their eyes, peering closely to ensure they weren’t seeing things.

The esteemed Auntie Tang stammered, “Wh-when did these flowers bloom? Why wasn’t it reported earlier?!”

All the maidservants burst into laughter. “You’ve got it wrong! The flowers just bloomed! We just noticed!”

“That can’t be possible!”

“It’s true, Auntie Tang. When the masters entered the opera house, there was nothing there. There’s no reason for all of us to see and remember wrongly!”

“What?…”

Auntie Tang sought repeated confirmations. Eventually, she sighed, exchanging bewildered glances with the others.

While it might be conceivable for one person to misperceive, or even two or three to overlook something, it defied belief that a group of twenty to thirty people could collectively misjudge and misremember such a sight.

Auntie Tang was about to head into the opera house to report to the Fourth Princess Consort when a commotion reached her ears. It appeared that a lady inside had inadvertently turned her head toward the row window and spotted the pink and beautiful crabapple flowers. She cried out in surprise, capturing everyone’s attention.

The allure of this sight far surpassed the scenes unfolding on stage. Now, all eyes were on the blossoms.

The maidservants promptly hushed, retreating to the side obediently. However, their eyes sparkled with excitement. They had never witnessed or even heard of such an extraordinary phenomenon. Sharing this story with their companions, especially those in other residences, might be met with disbelief.

Princess Consort, Fourth Princess Consort, and the others approached, gazing up at the pink and plump flowers on the trees. Exclamations of awe escaped their lips.

A lady broke into a smile, declaring, “This is a joyous occasion, a joyous occasion! It’s a tremendous auspicious sign. It signifies that the fourth prince’s residence is rich in vital energy and blessed by the heavens!”

All the madams and young ladies beamed, joining in the sentiment.

“Absolutely, the crabapple tree is a symbol of wealth, auspiciousness, and prosperity. At this moment, while flowers elsewhere remain unopened, the fourth prince’s residence is already in full bloom. Truly remarkable!”
