Peony, The Flower FairyPeople always loved the Peony.
From the previous dynasty, Peony was the most praised as the flower in all nations of the country, from the former royal family, political chaos, and also the people who were dest.i.tute.
The Emperor of the Founder in the North abolished the previous royal family in the country due to corruption in extravagant miscellaneous expenses and harsh taxes.
After the reign of these two dynasties, the whole atmosphere became clear and only the Peony was left the most popular and favored city to the royal families.
From then on, in everyone"s home, from the highest n.o.bles down to the civilians or ordinary people, they will be planted several strains of peony.

April 10 at Great Yin Dynasty.
There were people who were living in a shabby but clean place at the back of the palace. They called it Harem.
However, in this solitary courtyard, there was a red mottled door that was covered by black and green moss outside the stairs where naughty weeds emerged from the crack in the door.
Not far from it, there was a noise coming out from a distance.
There was an old boy who was not always dressed up. He"s just wearing a blue cloth on his head and used the same color cloth that was tied up on his body as his dress.
Even the little eunuchs were more decently dressed up than him.
At that moment, the boy who was wearing a blue cloth was pressed by several bodies far stronger than him, because apparently, he had some disagreement with the eunuchs in the palace.
Then under his body, there was a young, handsome man who was dressed, well kicking and insulting him:
“This little b.a.s.t.a.r.d came out and stole again?”
"Shh! My mother said, don’t call him a b.a.s.t.a.r.d when we are in the outside. Ha ha!" Another eunuch said to the young handsome man.
“Ha ha! There is nothing to be afraid of! Only seven of us are here! No one will know about what happened today! Anyone of you who will claim, will be punished!" The young man said.
The boy who was wearing a blue cloth did not resist while they were still kicking and insulting him. His hands were clinging to the fabric of his chest while he clenched his teeth without a word.
He knew that this were the habits of these bully eunuch people, and that if he resisted, he might have been beaten more violently.
If he remained silently enduring, these people will eventually free him.
However, that day was obviously different than usual.
The young man, who was the leader and led the Blue Runner seemed to be tired. He stopped and ordered the old boy to just stand up and he pointed to his eunuch disciple and said, "You! Come to me!"
The eunuch trotted down on his knees and knelt down, “Your highness, what is your command?”
The young man lifted his chin and said, “You! I Believe that this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d hides the things that he stole from the bosom! Get it right now and throw these things out!”
The old boy who was lying on the ground was surprised and hurriedly thought of how to get up and ran so quickly to protect the things in the bosom.
"But I"m so small, how can I run so quickly compared to the eunuch who has a strong and long legs?" The old boy thought.
He ran. But soon enough he stopped and pulled his arms and saw the few sweet-scented rice cakes wrapped in an oiled paper and his few stuffed buns held by the one of the eunuch.
But this kind of thing that they found out was not even important to them. Even putting those on their table on the palace, they wouldn"t give it a taste.
The young man grunted, “Give it to your highness, I will throw these to the ground and crush them in front of his face!"
The boy was covered in the mouth, whining and struggling, but only helplessly watching their food for the next two days be crushed by those people.
The young man looked at his expression, it seemed that his mood finally got better.
He laughed and said, “Well, let this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d on the ground pick up the food and eat them. Ha ha ha!”
The boy was thrown on the ground and he was like a pedestrian strutting off.
He bit his lips tightly and flashed his young black eyes like the eyes of the lonely wolf.
