Chapter 174 The Flower Room is in a Dirty State

Maomao lowered his head and secretly glanced at Xia Miaoyuan with his peripheral vision, as if he understood that he had made a mistake and made the young master angry.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Maomao ran after a cat. Xia Miaoyuan and the fifth prince accidentally found Zhou in the cold palace while chasing Maomao.

Later, they paid attention to Zhou and forgot about Maomao.

By the time Zhou was arranged, Xia Miaoyuan was already exhausted and fell asleep.

The people in Kunning Palace were also thinking about Zhou's melon and ignored that Maomao was not in the bedroom. It was not

until the first day of the Lunar New Year that the manager of the Yu Garden came to Kunning Palace to report that a small sika deer had been found. It had entered the greenhouse and destroyed most of the flowers in the greenhouse.

You know, the greenhouse belonged to Emperor Mingxi.

Emperor Mingxi did not have many hobbies, and tending to flowers and plants was one of the most important ones.

When the people in the Yu Garden found out, they were horrified.

They were worried that if the flowers in the greenhouse were damaged, Emperor Mingxi would be furious and punish them, but they did not dare to catch the deer because they knew that the deer was Princess Anguo's treasure.

If they caught the deer violently and accidentally injured it, Princess Anguo would be unhappy. What would they do?

In great anxiety, they could only report the news to Kunning Palace.

At that time, the empress and the princess went to Shoukang Palace to entertain the envoys' wives, so Xiaoluzi, who stayed in Kunning Palace, took people to the Yu Garden, used coercion, bribery, and tried every possible means. It took two hours to catch Maomao back.

When the empress accompanied Xia Zhengqi to the greenhouse to check, the empress was very embarrassed, and Emperor Mingxi felt that his heart was about to break.

When he just walked into the door, he saw a broken flower pot and flower soil on the ground, and the chrysanthemums were trampled into a mess.

"Fortunately, it is a chrysanthemum, which is not too expensive. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to purchase some later." Xia Zhengqi seemed to be talking to the empress, but in fact he was comforting himself.

"It's too dirty and messy inside, otherwise Your Majesty should not go in to see it." The empress advised.

"No, no need. I'd better go and see it myself!" Xia Zhengqi's voice was weak.

The queen couldn't stop Xia Zhengqi, so she had to walk inside hand in hand with him.

"Ah! My black chrysanthemum..." Xia Zhengqi covered his heart in pain.

After walking through a large area of ​​chrysanthemums, he saw a few black chrysanthemums that were bitten into a mess.

"Your Majesty, take care of yourself!" The queen quickly patted Xia Zhengqi's back to comfort him.

"Your Majesty, look, there is another good one here." Debao was quick to pick up a pot of intact black chrysanthemums from the ground and show it to Xia Zhengqi.

"Okay, there is another one, okay... okay..." Xia Zhengqi's tone was a little difficult.

The emperor and the empress walked further inside, and saw a field of bright red lilies.

But these lilies had been trampled into a mess, and broken flowers mixed with flower mud lay on the ground.

"It's okay, it's lilies, not very expensive." Xia Zhengqi tried to make his tone lighter.

However, after walking a few steps inside, Xia Zhengqi looked up, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Debao helped the empress and held Xia Zhengqi back.

"My Gloriosa lily..." Xia Zhengqi looked painful.

"It took me three months to grow it like this..." Xia Zhengqi's words were filled with tears.

"Your Majesty, let's go back first and don't look at it anymore." The empress advised again.

This time, Xia Zhengqi did not insist. He forced himself to say, "Debao, go inside and see if any of my Yaohuang and Erqiao peonies are still alive. If there are any, move them out."

After Xia Zhengqi finished speaking, the emperor and the empress supported each other and walked out of the greenhouse.

After a cup of tea, Debao and several eunuchs came out of the greenhouse happily, holding peonies in their arms.

Debao said loudly, "Your Majesty, the Yaohuang and Erqiao peonies are still intact."

Xia Zhengqi felt much better when he heard this. He stepped forward and carefully looked at the pots of peonies. His eyes were red with excitement and tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Fortunately, fortunately..." Xia Zhengqi gently stroked the peonies.

"Pick half and send it to the Empress, and send the rest to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

The Empress looked a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, why don't you keep these peonies in my palace? I'm afraid of the deer..."

Xia Zhengqi said lightly, "It doesn't matter, just put them in a room where the deer won't go."

Seeing that Emperor Mingxi was determined to send them, the Empress couldn't refuse and had to accept them.

When the Empress and the depressed Emperor Mingxi came to Kunning Palace with several pots of precious peonies, Xia Miaoyuan had just finished scolding her pet.

"Emperor Daddy, don't be sad!"

Seeing that Emperor Mingxi looked dejected, Xia Miaoyuan rushed over quickly, hugged Emperor Mingxi's long legs, and coaxed him in a baby voice.

"I have already taught Maomao a lesson!" Xia Miaoyuan raised the fly swatter to show Emperor Mingxi.

Xia Miaoyuan's hidden message was that my pet made a mistake and I have already punished it. Daddy, calm down and don't punish it anymore.

"Watch it carefully in the future and don't let it run away again." Xia Zhengqi said weakly.

"Okay, Emperor Daddy, I will do it."

Before Xia Miaoyuan finished her promise in a childish voice, Maomao jumped over happily and sniffed Xia Zhengqi's robe.

"Get it away quickly, don't let me see it again..." Xia Zhengqi's tears fell all at once.

The queen hurriedly ordered someone to lock Maomao in the house temporarily.

But Maomao was very naughty. As soon as Xiaoluzi and another little eunuch came over, Maomao ran away.

Xia Miaoyuan's eyes suddenly fell on the big pots of peonies under the corridor.

"Wow! What beautiful flowers!" Xia Miaoyuan's eyes widened in shock.

She had never seen such rare and gorgeous peonies.

Maomao saw the little master standing in front of the peonies, and he also jumped over.

"Ah! My peonies! No!" Xia Zhengqi saw Maomao jumping in front of his precious peonies, and his heart was in his throat.

Yaohuang peony and Erqiao peony are very rare varieties of peonies. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.

Therefore, Xia Zhengqi seemed very worried.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Maomao.

"You can't bite it, and you can't step on it!" Xia Miaoyuan waved his hand and made a simple gesture of prohibition.

Maomao put his nose on the peony flower and sniffed it. Debao and a few eunuchs tiptoed behind Maomao, wanting to catch it.

But before Debao could act, Maomao suddenly blew his nose, as if avoiding something scary, and ran away.

"You know what's good for you, kid!" Debao said jokingly.

Xia Zhengqi and the queen finally let go of their worries.

But Xia Miaoyuan looked solemn.

[No, no! There must be something wrong with this flower!]
