The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"Why is the rabbit hutch gone?"

Yuanyuan looked at the soil in the yard that had been turned over, and she didn't know where all the little rabbits she had raised had gone.

"They have all been placed in the backyard. When the Master of the Seal came back from court, he hoed the soil in the front yard all by himself."

Caizhi didn't know what he meant. The front yard had been deserted for a long time. It looked like he should plant some flowers and plants.

"The old man is hardworking..."

Yuanyuan rarely praised him, but unfortunately the father didn't listen.

“Very hardworking…”

Caizhi listened to her words and recalled the image of the Chief Seal wielding a hoe and digging the soil. She inexplicably found it very funny.

The days she spent in the palace of the Lord Seal-holder were much better than before. There were no female officials to beat or scold her, and she didn't have to worry about starving or being punished.

Gradually, her fear of Pei Zhiyan decreased a lot. Here, as long as she did her job well, no one would cause trouble for her.

After lunch, Yuanyuan sat on a bench and touched her round belly.

There were endless varieties of dishes and pastries in the palace, and her old man father would eat a lot and delicious food at every meal.

"Go out for a walk."

Pei Zhiyan wiped the corner of his mouth, stood up and stretched out his hand to her.

"Where to go?"

Yuanyuan reached out and grabbed his fingers, slid off the stool and followed him out.

"Have you forgotten what you said yesterday?"

Pei Zhiyan held her little hand and slowed down his pace to make sure she could keep up.

"What did I say yesterday?"

Yuanyuan tried hard to recall that sentence. She said so many things every day.

"..."

It seemed that the child had completely forgotten about planting flowers. Pei Zhiyan was dealing with a backlog of affairs yesterday and had no time to accompany her to do those useless things.

But he always kept it in his heart. He didn't expect the child to forget it so quickly.

The father and daughter took a walk along the palace path to digest their food, and then walked slowly towards the greenhouse.

Today, the greenhouse has cultivated a new batch of rare varieties of chrysanthemums, and the palace maids are carrying the beautiful flowers to send to various palaces.

"Master, how come you have time to come here?"

The housekeeper in charge of the greenhouse heard the message from her servants and rushed over to greet them early.

Looking at the child in his hand, her eyes rolled twice, she smiled flatteringly and didn't come closer.

"Come and pick some flowers."

In the huge greenhouse, flowers are in full bloom and the air is filled with a strong floral fragrance. If you smell it for a long time, you will feel a little dizzy.

"Is it for the Emperor?"

The eunuch in charge of the flower room pointed out several pots of flowers and plants that the emperor liked. They said that the calendula and the golden marigold were both rare species, and the color was the pure yellow used by the royal family.

Pei Zhiyan turned his gaze to the child, released her little hand and gently pushed her back.

"Go pick out the styles you like and transplant some back home."

Yuanyuan then understood why the old man turned over the soil in the yard. She immediately walked around the greenhouse, picking out her favorite flowers.

The children picked out some bright-colored flowers, eight varieties in total, with different shades of color.

Pei Zhiyan ordered people to move all the flower seeds she had just selected to Wangyue Tower, and to bring a few more pots of each kind, intending to use fences to separate them to make flower beds.

There was a birdcage hanging under the eaves of the greenhouse's corridor, with a colorful parrot inside.

"The moon shines brightly before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground... frost on the ground..."

The parrot started talking when it saw people passing by, and immediately attracted Yuanyuan's attention.

"Talking bird!"

The little girl opened her arms and asked the old man to pick her up and look at her. The parrot in the cage also tilted its head to look at her.

This bird was raised by the manager of the greenhouse. When he saw the father and daughter coming closer, his fawning smile froze on the corners of his mouth and he moved closer to try to get them to move away.

"Master, would you like to stay for a cup of tea? I recently got some new tea leaves. Please have a taste of them."

"No, go get busy!"

Pei Zhiyan glanced at him coldly and noticed something.

"What's your name?"

The parrot in the cage flapped its legs and looked at the people outside with its big green eyes.

"My name is Yuanyuan, what's your name?"

The man and the bird started chatting, but the greenhouse manager nearby was reluctant to move. When he heard the child ask this, he quickly stepped forward and tried to take the bird cage away.

Then I heard the parrot in the cage chirping and shouting: "White-haired dog... white-haired dog..."

"presumptuous!"

The Jinyiwei who was in charge of assisting with the transportation drew out the Embroidered Spring Sword from his waist and pointed the sharp blade at the neck of the manager of the greenhouse.

There was only one person with gray hair in the entire palace, and it was obvious who he was scolding.

"Master Seal Master, this damned beast just learned it randomly... No... It's not me..."

The manager of the flower room was still trying to argue, but the knife in the hands of the Jinyiwei moved an inch closer, and he was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

He often cursed like this when he fed the parrot, and the parrot learned it after a while.

Zhang Yin had never set foot in the greenhouse for so many years, so he had no worries. He didn't expect to be caught red-handed today.

"Dealt with..."

Pei Zhiyan glanced indifferently at the person lying on the ground. These words would not hurt him at all.

"Master, I know I was wrong..."

The manager of the flower room was terrified, and his shrill screams could be heard through several palace walls.

Seeing that the child liked the parrot very much, Pei Zhiyan had it brought back and hung under the corridor.

The flowers that had been picked earlier were also returned. Xiao Fuzi helped to sort them out, took them out of the pots one by one, and arranged them in their corresponding positions.

Pei Zhiyan had never fiddled with flowers and plants before, but he read some books on growing flowers and plants before going to bed last night, and had a rough idea in his mind.

The open space in the front yard of Wangyue Tower is large enough to separate eight small flower beds with low bamboo fences.

Pei Zhiyan transplanted the flowers into the soil one by one. The child scooped water with a gourd ladle and slowly followed behind to water them.

The unreliable child poured water on his trouser legs, and his white shoes and robe corners were wet and stained with yellow-gray mud.

"..."

Looking at her rough behavior, Pei Zhiyan really wanted to play tricks on her again.

But looking at the sweat on her forehead and her staggering appearance as she scooped water, I couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard!

The father and daughter worked for the whole afternoon, and when the sun set, all the flower seeds were transplanted into the flower bed. The beautiful flowers looked a little wilted after transplanting.

Xiao Fuzi and Caizhi watched from the side and wanted to go over to help, but they were completely unable to do anything.

There was an open space near the steps, and Pei Zhiyan planned to build a swing for the child when he had time.

"White-haired dog...white-haired dog..."

The parrot, which had been silent for the whole afternoon, suddenly started calling again in the corridor.

"What is this dead bird called?"

When Xiao Fuzi heard this, his face turned pale, he spat, and was about to go forward to take down the birdcage and throw it away.

But he was stopped by Pei Zhiyan's cold eyes. He didn't care how a bird called. If the child liked it, he would let her keep it.

"what's wrong?"

Yuanyuan pulled at his blue eunuch uniform and looked at him in confusion.
