Chapter 30
The Blue Snow Lotus, born on a plateau 4500 meters above sea level in the far north, grows in the crevices of daunting cliffs. Because of its rarity, few people have seen it. It is said that the flowers of the Blue Snow Lotus are pale blue, tranquil and refined, with an extraordinary fragrance that lingers, leaving an unforgettable impression on those who have smelled it.
The Empress Dowager of the Great Jin Kingdom has a love for flowers. Upon hearing of such a rare flower, She sent several people to search the north. After four long years, they finally found one on a foreign snowy mountain cliff and transported it thousands of miles back to the Capital. This treasure of a plant was lovingly nurtured within the Imperial Jade Palace of the Empress Dowager.
