Chapter 35 Begonia Garden (First Update)_1

The Empress Dowager looked at Ling Hua, who appeared frail and delicate, yet it was this very image that set her apart from the past.

In the past, Ling Hua, except for three years ago when she had been severely injured after striking the complaint drum, had been bedridden in weakness, but she had not yet blossomed and was still a little girl. Although she was of an age where her beauty was like that of the flowering cardamom, it couldn't compare to her current beauty as if she were a lotus emerging from the water. Previously, she always maintained decorum and elegance, acting with propriety, even when engaging in verbal sparring with the court officials or vying with the Crown Prince, she always gave off a sense of impeccable poise, never improper behavior.
