Chapter 469 Bumped into

As soon as Xia Miaoyuan walked near the Qilin beast's enclosure, he smelled a stinky smell mixed with the fragrance of grass.

[It feels like the stinky smell of Maomao's poop. It seems that this Qilin beast is also a herbivore. ]

Just as he was thinking, he saw two eunuchs in charge of cleaning the enclosure approaching him with a flattering look on their faces.

"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming. I was sorry for not coming to greet you from afar. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The little emperor raised his hand and urged, "Where is the Qilin beast? Let it out and have a look!"

The two eunuchs hurriedly responded and ran to the enclosure.

This enclosure is very large, with lawns planted inside and several tall trees. This should be the playground.

At one end of the enclosure, there are two very tall houses. It seems that they should be the place where the Qilin beasts sleep.

A little later, two little eunuchs entered the activity area and opened the doors of the two houses.

Before the two huge doors were fully opened, two big guys poked their heads out from inside.

At this time, not only the little emperor and Xia Miaoyuan, but also all of them became excited and shouted in a low voice: "The Qilin beasts are out!"

Xia Miaoyuan stared at the heads of the two Qilin beasts intently. They saw that their heads were not big, and there were two cute clusters of things on their heads, which looked a bit like horns.

At this time, the Qilin beasts stepped out with their slender legs.

[Wow! Giraffe! 】Xia Miaoyuan was amazed in her heart when she saw the long legs of the Qilin beast.

It turned out that the Qilin beast that they talked about, which was rarely seen in a century, was actually the common giraffe in the zoo.

Xia Miaoyuan felt as if she had been played a huge joke for a moment, and she was very surprised.

【Damn legs, if I had known it was a giraffe, I would not have come. On such a hot day, lying on a recliner under the tree and drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup, wouldn’t it be delicious?】

Xia Miaoyuan complained wildly in her heart, but when she looked at the little emperor and those followers, they were all staring at the two giraffes without blinking, smiling with a worthless look on their faces.

The little emperor took Xia Miaoyuan's hand and came to the fence. He stared at the giraffe and said, "Miaoyuan, look! This is the Qilin beast!"

"I didn't expect that the Qilin beast would be so tall, as tall as three floors. It's really rare!"

"Miaoyuan, do you like this Qilin beast?"

Xia Miaoyuan was very excited to see the reactions of the crowd. In order to appear more natural, he had to deliberately open his mouth and exclaimed, "Wow! How can it be so big! How can it grow like this!"

The little emperor looked at Xia Miaoyuan lovingly and showed a satisfied smile, "Miaoyuan, I'm glad you like it!"

At this moment, a little eunuch ran over.

Xia Miaoyuan looked closely and saw that it was the person next to the little emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here!" The little eunuch said without even bothering to salute.

[No way, Zhu Ling is here again. Really, maybe she caught the little emperor secretly taking me out to play, and she will scold the little emperor again.]

[Eh... bad luck!]

As the Queen Mother of Dai Viet, Zhu Ling was naturally very wary of the Second Prince and his delegation from Da Xia, and even had a grudge against Xia Miaoyuan, who was only four years old.

The little emperor liked Princess Anguo of Da Xia and liked to be close to her. In Zhu Ling's opinion, this was absolutely unacceptable.

At the last two palace banquets, the little emperor secretly got along with Xia Miaoyuan and loved her as his sister. Afterwards, Zhu Ling was very angry and scolded the little emperor not to be close to Xia Miaoyuan again.

So today, the little emperor invited Xia Miaoyuan to visit Nanyuan together. He carried Zhu Ling on his back and told Zhu Ling that he had gone out of the palace incognito.

At this time, the little emperor was suddenly nervous when he heard that Zhu Ling had also come to Nanyuan.

"Where is the Queen Mother?

Where is she going to play?" the little emperor asked hurriedly. The eunuch said, "She is coming to the Monster Garden. It is estimated that she will arrive in two cups of tea."

The little emperor's face turned pale.

"Miaoyuan, let's hide first. It's best not to run into her. Otherwise, she will be nagging." The little emperor said, and took Xia Miaoyuan's hand and looked around, as if looking for a hiding place.

As he looked around, he shouted, "Tell the two eunuchs guarding the Qilin beast to shut up and not tell them that I was here!"

Xiao Hai, the personal eunuch of the young emperor, quickly responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already told you."

Xiao Hai looked around and helped the young emperor find a suitable hiding place.

Unfortunately, the area around the Qilin beast enclosure was a bit empty and there was no suitable shelter.

In a panic, Xiao Hai pointed to a rockery four feet away and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we climb behind the rockery and hide!" No

The young emperor had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The young emperor pulled Xia Miaoyuan, and several followers followed behind him. The master and servants ran to the rockery in a panic.

Fortunately, this rockery is not small. It is composed of more than a dozen strange rocks. It is very complicated inside. Several people climbed up the rockery with their hands and feet and hid their bodies behind it.

Sang Qi protected Xia Miaoyuan in his arms. Xia Miaoyuan looked out through the gap in the mountain, and complained in his heart, [Damn it, I ran a long way early in the morning to see the giraffe, and before I could see it for a few times, Zhu Ling, that woman, came again. ]

[Little emperor, you are too unreliable. If your mother doesn't let you play with me, then don't call me. Look at your mother, she's here, and you're scared. ]

Xia Miaoyuan was complaining when he heard footsteps and several eunuchs came over with huge red umbrellas.

Looking behind them, Zhu Ling was wearing a pink dress. Next to her was a tall man wearing a veil on his head, and the black veil on it covered his face tightly.

[Oh my god, something happened!] Xia Miaoyuan felt a chill all over her body when she saw the man.

[The Empress Dowager did not ask the little emperor to come along, nor did she ask anyone else to accompany her. Instead, she came to Nanyuan quietly with this mysterious man in black veil.]

[So, this man in black veil must be Liang Chaozong!]

[Hahaha, this is going to be fun!]

[The Empress Dowager secretly met with her lover, and was caught by her son.]

Xia Miaoyuan thought about it and glanced at the little emperor beside him. The little emperor stared at the man with his eyes, his face dark and scary.

The followers beside the little emperor also widened their eyes, with great shock in their eyes.

Looking at the Qilin beast's enclosure, Zhu Ling and the man had already walked to the side of the enclosure. Zhu Ling gave Mei'er a look, and Mei'er sent away all the palace maids and eunuchs who followed them, even the two eunuchs who were guarding the Qilin beast retreated.

Mei'er was the only personal palace maid left beside Zhu Ling and the others.

Everyone looked at Zhu Ling and the man with bated breath.

Zhu Ling took the man's hand.
