Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 377 Eucommia

After watching the last one, Xu Weiwei clapped her hands, stood up, and continued to stroll in the garden with the others.

Some girls couldn't stand the heat and gradually left the team to go back to escape the heat. Xu Weiwei's temples were also sweating.

Sophia couldn't help but persuade her: "It's a pain to wander aimlessly here on such a hot day. Go back and come out again in the evening when it's cooler."

Xu Weiwei wiped the sweat off his face and said depressedly, "I'm not wandering aimlessly. I'm looking for a tree. I saw it on the way here. I remember it was in this area, but I can't find it anymore."

"Trees?" Sophia tilted her head. "There are so many trees here. Do you remember what they look like?"

"The trunk is straight, about 30 to 40 centimeters wide, and as tall as a three-story building. The leaves are oval, and the bark is gray-brown with some green moss attached to it."

Sophia frowned and thought for a moment before she said helplessly, "There are many who meet these conditions. Come with me first and I will look at them one by one."

Xu Weiwei happily became Sophia's follower.

"Is it this one?"

"No."

"what about this?"

"No."

……

After eliminating one wrong option after another, Xu Weiwei finally found what she wanted. She happily hugged Sophia and jumped up and down.

"That's it! That's what I'm looking for!"

Sophia was seldom treated so close, and she felt sweet and happy inside. She looked at Xu Weiwei with more doting eyes.

"Alright, alright, stop jumping. What's so special about this tree? It doesn't bloom, its shape is ordinary, and its ornamental value is not high. It doesn't even have a name or introduction. It was planted here just to fill a gap."

Xu Weiwei lifted her skirt, walked onto the lawn, stroked the rough bark with her hand and said, "It's called Eucommia ulmoides. It's listed as a top-grade medicinal herb in the Shennong Herbal Classic of the ancient Earth. It should have a history of more than 15,000 years."

"In traditional Chinese medicine, the main use is its bark. Decoction can nourish the liver and kidneys, strengthen the bones and tendons, and stabilize the fetus. It can be used to treat habitual miscarriage or too many induced abortions that make it difficult to get pregnant."

Sophia covered her mouth, gasped and said in admiration: "Weier, you know a lot. Did you learn all this on the planet Goodall?"

Xu Weiwei hummed vaguely and continued, "It's not that it won't bloom, it just grows very slowly. It will take about ten years after planting before it blooms. The flowers are green and hidden under the leaves. It's not easy to find."

"This Eucommia tree is probably 35 years old. It must have bloomed before, but no one noticed."

"Is that so... I've been blaming it wrongly." Sophia looked up at the dense tree canopy.

"Then, do you want to dig up this tree? I can talk to my father, he should agree." Sophia said enthusiastically.

"No need." Xu Weiwei turned on her laptop. A new account suddenly appeared in her friend list.

The profile picture is a cartoon bear holding a laser gun and shooting. The personal slogan is "Go to hell with work and everything else". The name is "Live within the first ring road".

Xu Weiwei: “…”

"This is...?" Unable to believe the truth, she pulled the page in front of Sophia to ask her for confirmation.

Sophia's momentary panic and embarrassment forced Xu Weiwei to believe that this was true. The emperor of a planet, no, a galaxy, actually used such a childish avatar, such a resentful signature, and such a funny online name.

Will it really not affect the image of the empire if it gets out?

Sophia coughed weakly twice and blushed, "This is my father's private account. Not many people know about it. He is the emperor... He is usually very busy and under a lot of pressure..."

"Haha... normal, I understand, I understand..."

"But how come you have a good friend of his?"

"I asked my father to help me get it."

Xu Weiwei took a photo and sent it to "Live within the First Ring Road" and started typing, but gave up halfway through.

Forget it, I'll just send a voice message. I'm too tired.

"Your Majesty, this tree is a precious Chinese medicinal herb. I have too much to take care of and I don't have enough energy to spare. It's easy for it to die if I transplant it back and forth. I'm entrusting it to you to take care of it."

"Have someone put up a sign to protect it. Collect the seeds and keep them for planting next spring. You can do the branch cuttings now, so they will be ready for transplanting next year. You have to choose the right... and the soil..."

After sending the two 60-second voice messages, Xu Weiwei took a sip of the ice drink and let out an "ah".

Sophia stared at her in amazement: "Are you arranging work for our father?"

Xu Weiwei was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she quickly explained, "No, no! It was His Majesty who offered to help. You know, His Majesty is a good emperor. He must be more concerned about things that benefit the country and the people. Otherwise, how could I dare to order him around."

Sophia: ...but you use it quite naturally.

"It's okay, I'm not unhappy, just a little surprised..." Sophia shook her head and smiled.

The Royal Garden was so big that the two of them wandered around for a long time. After finding the Eucommia ulmoides tree, Xu Weiwei was already satisfied. She no longer had the energy to do anything else.

After politely declining Sophia's invitation to stay, Xu Weiwei was led out of the palace by a maid.

Although she was very tired and hot, and her skirt was uncomfortably tight around her body like a quilt, Xu Weiwei felt very relaxed.

The Royal Garden is a great place, I will come back if I have the chance. Sister Sophia said they didn't even finish the quarter today, my dears~~~ just wait there!

In the evening, after seeing off all the guests, Sophia returned to her own residence in the inner hall of the palace. She took a bath, changed into her daily clothes, and then met with Fast together with the recorder.

When Fast saw her coming, he went up to her warmly, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and then pulled her to sit down.

"Sister, did you have fun today?"

"It's okay." Sophia had a perfect smile on her face, but if you looked closely, the smile was only on the surface.

"Thank you for your hard work and worrying about my affairs." Fast personally poured a glass of water and placed it in front of her.

"You are my brother, and your marriage is not just your business." Sophia's back was straight, and with her slender neck, she looked like a noble and elegant white swan.

They were obviously siblings from the same mother, but they spoke so politely. The huge sense of alienation made Sophia feel very uncomfortable.

She didn't know why the two of them became like this. When her mother died, she was still a child and didn't understand anything. When she grew up and became more sensible, her brother had already become estranged from her.

He grew up in the way everyone expected him to be, and even did better than what was required. He had many more people supporting him.

Her sister seemed to be left far behind and was of no use at all.

Even if she wasn't in charge of today's matter, their stepmother, aunt, and other female relatives would still be in charge.

In this palace, she is the least needed person.
