"My lord, it's just a basket of flowers, you don't need to be so careful."

"No...it's not a flower...it's not just a flower, it's art!"

Properly holding the flower basket in front of him, the middle-aged steward stared at Chen Mo with burning eyes and said: "I have long heard that the owner of the Four Seasons Flower Shop is unparalleled in the world. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation. It's a pity that this basket of flowers is His Royal Highness ordered it, and after a while, I will visit the store in person and buy a basket of flowers... No, if possible, as long as Mr. Chen Mo has new works from you, I will buy a few baskets and take them home."

"It would be great if the manager is willing to reward you."

Chen Mo talked and laughed with the middle-aged steward all the way to the depths of the palace. The identity of this middle-aged steward is not simple. He is a personal steward who is responsible for serving the royal family of the Gustico Kingdom, and his position has reached the level of a general manager. .

As early as more than two months ago, when Chen Mo's Four Seasons flower shop had just gained some fame in Gustico, the middle-aged manager went to his shop and mentioned that a prince in the royal family wanted to buy a basket of flowers. He also invited him to be a guest in the Palace of the Royal City, but Chen Mo had just put the Four Seasons Flower Shop on the right track at that time, and he had to do many things himself, so he had no time to go to the appointment when he was busy. Knowing this happened, I didn't suddenly recall it until today when I looked through the accounts in the store.

It’s ridiculous to say that in a place like Gustico, the wind and snow are constant all year round, and the national economy is not very developed. How to maintain their daily life has already made them exhausted. It stands to reason that here is a flower shop It is completely a loss-making business, but the appearance of such a new thing as flower arrangement has stimulated the consumption desire of the nobles in the kingdom. Coupled with Chen Mo's excellent flower arrangement skills, Four Seasons Flower Shop has gradually become the darling of the nobles. The exquisite flowers in the garden have also become their capital to show off.

Trends can be influenced both from bottom-up and top-down, especially in countries with developed aristocratic systems, the top-down trend is very serious.

Therefore, after the nobles, common people have gradually noticed this flower shop. Even if they usually eat less meat for each meal, they still have to save money to buy a few bunches of flowers back home, which can not only decorate the house, but also be invisible in front of relatives and friends. Show off, and when flowers are popularized in everyone's homes, Chen Mo only needs to launch a new art arrangement in time to set off another wave of buying frenzy.

Under such a dramatic development, the name of Four Seasons Flower Shop became more and more famous, and finally spread to the palace of Wangcheng. That's why the middle-aged manager came to the shop to prepay the order more than two months ago.

……

Along the way, I passed the black iron palace gate three times and passed through more than a dozen wide porches. Even though the Gustico Kingdom is relatively poor compared to other countries on the mainland, the scale of the Royal Palace is still very majestic.

Following the middle-aged steward, Chen Mo was finally led outside a study-style room.

"Please stop the three young ladies. The number of people invited by His Highness has only designated the owner of the shop. After that, no one can follow."

Standing outside the study door, the steward suddenly reached out to stop Elsa, Rem, and Ram, then turned around and raised his hand to Chen Mo, saying respectfully, "Sir, please, Your Highness is waiting for you in the room."

"Yeah." Nodding slightly, Chen Mo looked back at the three little guys behind him, and comforted him, "Just wait for a while, I'll be out soon."

After speaking, he pushed the door open and walked into the room without hesitation.

It looked like a study room from the outside, but after pushing the door open, Chen Mo realized that it was really a study room.

The space behind the door is very spacious, and it has a moderate sense of luxury, but it is not too luxurious. The candlesticks inside are all lit and maintain a considerable brightness.

In the center of the room is a sculpture of a goddess of ice and snow full of northern style. There seems to be some kind of cooling magic around the ice sculpture, which keeps the statue in a frozen state, and the room is surrounded by huge bookshelves full of various books. .

The bookshelves extend up to the roof of the three or four meters high. There are a variety of books, including ancient hard-shell books and manuscripts made of parchment. There are nearly two bookshelves in the four huge and exaggerated bookshelves. Thousands of books.

A man of medium build was standing under a bookshelf facing the door. After hearing the sound of opening and closing the door, he closed the book in his hand with a snap, and turned to look at Chen Mo who was standing at the door. smile.

"Mr. Chen Mo, this king has been waiting here for a long time."

"There are a lot of things going on recently, and His Highness has been waiting for a long time." Chen Mo nodded, and gave the man a flat smile in a neither humble nor overbearing way.

The man in plain white brocade robe in front of him, with his long blond hair braided into a neat braid from around his collarbone, hanging forward from his right shoulder, is one of the pinnacles of power in the Gustic Kingdom.

The kingdom is the prince in line. If there is no accident, Gustico kingdom will be his back garden in more than ten years... No, even now, he has the absolute right to speak and rule in the whole kingdom .

However, judging from his dressing style and appearance, he should not be the kind of stupid person who is addicted to power and status. His golden braided long hair and clear blue eyes together exude a noble orthodox royal temperament, but his peaceful expression and eyes are faint. Gives a weak impression...

While Chen Mo was sizing up the prince, the prince also turned his scrutiny eyes on him, and after a while, he sighed softly.

"Sure enough, the real person doesn't show his likeness... Mr. Chen Mo is much stronger than this king if he can dive into the water and hide in the city."

Hearing the prince's praise, Chen Mo frowned slightly, and then asked, "Why did Your Highness say that?"

"Not to mention, sir, your Four Seasons Flower Shop is now popular in the entire Wangcheng, but who would have thought that the owner of the Four Seasons Flower Shop, a master of flower arrangement who has been passed down as a myth by the nobles, is actually The appearance of an ordinary philistine businessman? Being able to let go of vanity, and being willing to live the most ordinary life despite having great skills, this kind of heart is not comparable to this king, sir... You hide it very deeply."

After quietly listening to the prince's words, Chen Mo stared at him deeply for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Your Highness's skill in nourishing Qi is not bad, I should be the one who regrets it."

Chen Mo's words are not self-effacing. All the self-cultivation and temperament in him have been accumulated bit by bit after thousands of years of precipitation, but this prince is different. Judging from his face, he is only eighteen or eighteen at most. Nine years old, at the most flashy and noisy age of youth, being able to calm down his personality is really a remarkable thing.

"Your Highness, there is no need to say any more compliments. Please tell me what is the matter of summoning me."

"Well."

Chen Mo's blunt words did not make the prince's face show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled, walked a few steps closer, and handed the book he was reading just now to Chen Mo.

"This is……?"

"Open it and have a look."

Although he was puzzled, Chen Mo stretched out his hand and opened the page according to what the prince said, and then naturally, nearly half of the book was opened directly, revealing the page with the silver bookmark in it.

In the center of the page, light blue handwriting outlines a small flower as light as the first thin snow in early winter.

"In the depths of the forest of elves in the permafrost, there is a flower that has stored the soul of Dongxue for a hundred years, but it will only bloom in front of people with a sincere heart. This king began to send people to the forest of elves three years ago. Sen, it's a pity that all of them returned after killing their feathers. Now that I have searched the entire kingdom, whether it is the intensive study of ikebana or the cultivation of character, Mr. is the best choice..."

Speaking of this, the smile on the prince's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression turned serious.

"...It is said that the first person to pick off the permafrost flower will be able to gain the power to control ice and snow. Please go to the forest of elves in permafrost to bring this flower back, and then... stop Gus The heavy snow that has lasted for a hundred years in Tico Kingdom."

Chapter 6 On the Ice Field

After staying in the prince's study for more than ten minutes, Chen Mo left the room alone, facing the questioning eyes of the middle-aged steward outside the door, he just shook his head slightly.

He didn't understand the meaning of Chen Mo shaking his head, the steward took two steps forward, pulled his arm with some doubts and asked, "How is it, what did your Highness say?"

"Your Highness, you must be a great talent in the future."

"what?"

Chen Mo shook his head again, and sighed softly: "His Royal Highness has dimples in his chest at a young age, and is extremely courageous and resolute. He will definitely become a wise king in the future."
