Chapter 144: This Princess Finally Becomes a Shit-Shoveling Officer

Xia Miaoyuan waited patiently until the cat-engagement ceremony was over. She could no longer hold back and took the little orange cat from Yingxue's arms.

[Roar, roar, roar! This princess has a cat! I am finally a cat-owner! ]

[I am a shit-shoveling officer! This princess has been promoted to a shit-shoveling officer! ]

What is a shit-shoveling officer?

The queen was a little confused.

Xia Miaoyuan happily ran around the yard with the little orange cat in her arms, and the sika deer Maomao followed her happily.

"Ouch!"

Because Maomao ran too fast, Xia Miaoyuan fell over.

Xia Miaoyuan held the little orange cat tightly in her arms.

"Miao'er, be careful!" The queen rushed over and helped her daughter up.

"It's okay! I'm strong!" Xia Miaoyuan's leg hurt from the fall. She frowned, tears welled up in her eyes, but she finally held back her tears.

Maomao hesitated for a moment, then nudged Xia Miaoyuan with his nose, as if he realized his mistake and apologized to his little master.

"Forgive you!" Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice.

Finally, she got the little cat she had been thinking about. Xia Miaoyuan was so happy that she carried Xiaoju wherever she went, and even put Xiaoju in her arms when she was eating.

The queen couldn't do anything with her, so she could only let her do what she wanted.

At night.

After Xia Miaoyuan finished drinking milk, she grunted and took Xiaoju's mattress to the bed, and then she stuck out her little butt and carefully laid the cat mattress.

After she was done, she put Xiaoju on it.

Xiaoju was very smart and lay on the mattress obediently without making a fuss.

"Your Highness, how can this cat be put on the bed to sleep!" Nanny Li frowned slightly.

"I want Xiaoju!" Xia Miaoyuan lay on the bed and wrapped her arms around Xiaoju, as if to protect it and prevent it from being taken away by Nanny Li.

"We grow old together."

Nanny Li had no choice but to put a couch next to the bed and sleep on it herself to look after the little princess.

The next morning, bright sunshine shone into the house.

Xia Miaoyuan opened her eyes and slowly moved her arms and legs in the warm quilt, feeling very comfortable.

[Tsk tsk tsk, it is so happy to sleep until I wake up naturally and not have to accompany my father to court.]

[Huh? What is that? It's so itchy!]

Suddenly, Xia Miaoyuan felt a warm and wet little thing licking her hand.

[Oh, no, no, it's so itchy!]

Xia Miaoyuan looked at her hand and found that it was Xiaojuzi who was licking her.

Xia Miaoyuan pulled Xiaojuzi into her arms and gently hugged and caressed her. Xiaojuzi nudged his furry head into her arms in response.

[It is so happy to have a cat!]

[Huh? No, why is there a wet spot on the bed? 】

Xia Miaoyuan's feet touched a wet sheet, and she immediately stood up to check.

【Could it be that this princess wet the bed? 】

She put Xiaojuzi aside and lay on the bed to check.

【It shouldn't be me, the area is too small. How could I only pee so little. 】

Xia Miaoyuan touched her pants again, and they were dry.

【It must be Xiaojuzi's pee. You! 】

Xia Miaoyuan pointed to the wet spot and poked Xiaojuzi's head.

"Pay attention next time!" Xia Miaoyuan deliberately frowned and taught fiercely.

"Meow..." Xiaojuzi called coquettishly, looking at Xia Miaoyuan with a pair of big round eyes, as if responding to her.

"Miao'er, you finally got up!"

The Queen had gotten up a long time ago. She had just been instructing the maids to do some work in the corridor. When she heard the noise in Xia Miaoyuan's room, she pushed the door open to see.

Li Ma and several maids heard the Queen talking, and they hurried in to help Xia Miaoyuan wash and change clothes.

"Huh? Why is the bed wet?"

When the Queen went to hug Xia Miaoyuan, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the small water stain.

"I peed!" Xia Miaoyuan answered happily.

The Queen touched Xia Miaoyuan's pants, understood immediately, and couldn't help laughing.

"Miao'er, have you learned to protect Little Orange?"

"No, no, no, it's not him, it's me, don't scold him!" Xia Miaoyuan explained in a panic.

"Okay, okay! Mother won't scold him. He's so small, it's normal for him to pee." The Queen said softly.

Xia Miaoyuan gave the empress a kiss on the cheek.

[Mother is so good to Miao'er and Xiaojuzi. I love mother so much!]

Xia Miaoyuan had just been helped by Nanny Li to change clothes and drink a bowl of milk when she heard a deep voice.

"Oh, I'm so mad!"

[Daddy has left the court!]

Xia Miaoyuan wiped the milk foam from her mouth and ran out the door.

With a "bang", Xia Miaoyuan bumped into Xia Zhengqi's legs.

"You must be happy to see our Miao'er!" Xia Zhengqi leaned over and picked up his daughter, and kissed her soft little face hard.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unhappy during the morning court?" The empress bowed to Xia Zhengqi.

Xia Zhengqi walked into the flower hall with his daughter in his arms and sat down, then he spoke: "Don't mention it! Those censors are extremely pedantic!"

"At the morning court today, Huang Yushi wrote a letter saying that letting Bailining be in charge of the affairs of the Textile Bureau is reversing yin and yang, and is like a hen crowing at dawn, which destroys the moral principles."

"He also said that it is not appropriate for the empress to be in charge of the Textile Bureau. He asked me to replace you and Bailining."

[Huang Yushi is the man of the Protector of the Country Feng Qi. This matter must have been instigated by the Feng family. ]

[Last time at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Feng Panpan lost face because of Bailining, but now Bailining has risen to the top, and the Feng family must be furious. This is deliberate revenge. ]

Xia Zhengqi was startled. In his impression, Huang Yushi seemed to be related to the Duke of Huguo.

"Debao, do you remember who was the chief examiner when Huang Yushi passed the imperial examination?" Xia Zhengqi looked at Eunuch Debao.

Debao pondered for a moment and said, "The chief examiner that year was the Duke of Huguo. At that time, the Duke of Huguo served as the Minister of Rites. So Huang Yushi has always claimed to be the disciple of the Duke of Huguo."

Xia Zhengqi's face flashed with a look of sudden enlightenment after hearing this.

What his daughter said was indeed correct.

At this moment, Xiaoluzi ran in in a panic.

"Why are you so unruly, Xiaoluzi? The emperor is still here, why are you running!" The queen glared at Xiaoluzi.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just too anxious just now." Xiao Luzi was so flustered that his face turned red.

"Tell me quickly, what's the matter?" Xia Zhengqi urged impatiently.

"Just now, General Manager Baili sent someone to report that many teachers and scholars gathered outside the Textile Bureau, demanding the replacement of..." Xiao Luzi stopped talking halfway.

"Replace what?" Xia Zhengqi's eyes widened.

The queen smiled helplessly: "I guess it's the same as Huang Yushi's request, demanding the replacement of this palace and Bailining, and all replaced by men."

Xiao Luzi nodded and whispered: "Your Majesty is right."

Xia Zhengqi stood up and said angrily: "This Protector of the Country has rebelled against him!"
