Chapter 1009: Easy

Madame Tian’s expression darkened at his words. After a brief pause, she snorted and sneered, “There are so many inept individuals out there. I refuse to believe she can handle it well! If she messes up, it will be quite the spectacle.”

Once Qiao Xuan finally emerged from the court, Shao Yunduan, who had been waiting outside, heaved a sigh of relief.

They exchanged glances, and Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile, instantly relieving Shao Yunduan’s anxiety.

“Is it… a success?” he asked incredulously.

Shao Yunduan couldn’t help but question the sheer magical turn of events. Many had been at a loss when faced with the same problem, and even the crown prince had treated it as a major issue. Yet, his wife had resolved it effortlessly, without uttering a word!

Too easy!

He couldn’t flaunt it so arrogantly, knowing how much others would struggle.

Qiao Xuan smiled, “Different professions exist in different worlds. While others might not understand, you know me.”

Their eyes met, and Shao Yunduan burst into laughter.

Indeed, how could he not know? His wife had a green thumb. Back at home, crops, fruit trees, and even the vegetables in their garden thrived under her care. She had made significant contributions.

The peony flowers in the palace were merely another type of plant. What couldn’t she achieve? He had to believe in her!

“You must be exhausted from your time in the palace today. Let’s go back and rest early!”

“Alright!”

Two days later, the rewards from the palace arrived.

The Empress’s attendants immediately noticed the rejuvenation of the flowers. The once yellowing leaves were no longer deteriorating; instead, fresh new foliage sprouted forth, and the stems exhibited a healthy fading of color.

Furthermore, the flowers emitted a different aura than before. Standing before them, one could sense the dense vitality pulsating within.

Though it hadn’t fully regained its former splendor, a unanimous thought echoed in everyone’s hearts: This peony bush is on the road to recovery!

Emperor Xuan of Qi was overjoyed! He commended the accomplishment several times over.

This peony bush held the deepest connection and yearning between him and his late mother. Even after all these years, he never ceased to think of her.

It was his mother’s most beloved peony flower, which she had personally nurtured. Each year, he would accompany her in admiring its blossoms.

If it were to perish just like that, the void in his heart would never be filled.

“Officer Shao is truly the exceptional individual I believed him to be. I did not misjudge him! I never anticipated his wife to possess such remarkable talent! I must bestow upon them generous rewards!”

Empress Qi’s smile widened. “When Princess Consort brought Ms. Qiao to see me that day, I noticed her elegance and grace. She displayed no trace of fear and possessed a temperament that rivals that of a true noblewoman! Who could have imagined her remarkable capabilities?”

“Women often indulge in cosmetics, pets, and flowers, but finding someone like Ms. Qiao is rare indeed!”

The Emperor recollected his encounter with Qiao Xuan the other day. While he hadn’t paid much attention to her at the time, he was not one to shy away from recognizing merit. With a nod and a smile, he remarked, “Editor Shao, you have good taste!”

Empress Qi’s smile grew even brighter. “Ms. Qiao healed the flowers, bringing joy to the Emperor’s heart and mine. I wish to reward her as well!”

Emperor Xuan of Qi burst into laughter. “You should give the rewards as well! It is a reflection of your filial piety!”
