She had Wei Yuanniang bring along a potted precious tea flower called Eighteen Scholars, which she had carefully cultivated, to Qingyun Temple.
"This is the Eighteen Scholars? It's truly beautiful!"
Temple Master Hua Yang was said to be the Old Empress Dowager, but in fact, she was not even fifty years old yet.
She maintained herself extremely well, and after leaving the Imperial Palace, she felt relaxed and at ease at Qingyun Temple, appearing almost like a breathtaking beauty under thirty.
She was completely free from the rigid, indifferent demeanor of a devout ascetic, and instead embodied the distinct spontaneity and natural grace of the Taoist lifestyle!
She liked to appreciate flowers, yet did not follow the trend of favoring peonies; instead, she preferred the more dazzling yet no less refined and delicate camellias.
The pot of Eighteen Scholars that Wei Yuanniang had brought was absolutely to her taste.
