Xia Miaoyuan was woken up early by the Queen Mother, washed up, and dressed up beautifully.
Xia Miaoyuan was wearing a bright red palace dress, a grey sable cloak over it, and a double bun on her head, looking like a child that had walked out of a painting.
Although he didn't want to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday, the palace banquet was quite interesting after all, so Xia Miaoyuan was still quite happy.
When she and the queen arrived at Shanglin Garden, most of the guests had already arrived.
Xia Miaoyuan glanced at the group of royal relatives sitting in the side hall and felt overwhelmed.
[Oh my god, I didn't realize it when I read the book before, but now that all the royal family members are put together for people to see, there are really too many of them.]
The last time Xia Miaoyuan attended a large palace banquet was her own full-moon banquet, at which time many princes and dukes in their fiefdoms did not attend.
This time it was the Empress Dowager's 50th birthday, and it was celebrated with great ceremony. Xia Zhengqi allowed the princes and dukes to return to the capital from their fiefdoms to attend the birthday banquet.
Therefore, there were a lot of royal family members at the birthday banquet.
A spacious side hall was packed with people. Those who couldn't sit had to go somewhere else.
In Daxia, at birthday banquets like this, people usually go up to the birthday person one by one to greet him/her and present gifts in person.
At this time, these royal relatives were waiting in the side hall to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.
"You are already old, but you are still so blind!"
Suddenly, an arrogant male voice was heard.
[What's going on? Why are people arguing so early in the morning?]
Xia Miaoyuan followed the noise and quietly walked into the side hall.
Looking up, I saw a man with a particularly conspicuous figure, standing with his hands on his hips and insulting another man.
The reason why his stature is particularly conspicuous is that he is so tall, half a head taller than the palace guards standing guard at the door.
He was tall and strong, and wore a brown robe embroidered with a four-clawed dragon.
[A four-clawed dragon that looks so stupid, big, and rough, could it be the famous Prince Yu from the book?]
She slipped in while thinking about it.
"Fifth brother, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it just now." The thin man standing opposite the stupid big and rough man said with a trembling voice, obviously afraid of the other party.
Just now, the thin man accidentally spilled the tea on the strong man's clothes.
He calls him the Fifth Imperial Brother. Oh, so it seems he really is the Prince of Yu. I remember from the book, Daddy's fifth brother is the mighty Prince of Yu.
[The book says that Prince Yu was strong and muscular, so he actually looked like this.]
Xia Miaoyuan looked up at Prince Yu with interest.
All the royal relatives in the side hall were stunned.
Just now, they heard a baby voice.
Originally, they were still watching the conflict between Prince Yu and Prince Lin with cold eyes.
Unexpectedly, the conflict between the two princes had not yet ended, and suddenly a childish voice was heard, still saying strange words.
What? Who's talking?
These people have been trained in palace rules since childhood, so even if they find something unusual, they will not lose their composure and scream.
More than fifty royal family members secretly looked at the environment of the side hall.
They found Xia Miaoyuan in the side hall.
When did the little princess come in?
Is it this little princess who is speaking?
They glanced at Xia Miaoyuan out of the corner of their eyes, but found that her lips did not move.
This is strange. It’s not the little princess talking. Could it be that I’m hallucinating?
Prince Yu and Prince Lin, who were in the middle of the conflict, were also stunned.
But after a brief moment of shock, Prince Yu continued, "Who knows if you did it on purpose?"
Prince Yu stepped forward and grabbed Prince Lin by the collar.
"Seventh Brother, I think you've been in your fiefdom for too long and have forgotten how to respect your fifth brother."
Prince Yu’s aura is overwhelming.
[Ah, this Prince Lin.] Xia Miaoyuan glanced at the frightened Prince Lin and recalled the plot in the book.
[The book says that because Prince Lin was born to an unloved little beauty and because he himself was not favored by his father, he was timid and cowardly.]
[Prince Yu was the mother, the emperor's favorite concubine. This also led to Prince Yu's arrogant and domineering character, who liked to bully others by taking advantage of his power.]
Prince Yu has been bullying Prince Lin since they were young. I never thought that after all these years, Prince Yu would still be bullying Prince Lin.
Huh? That weird baby voice appeared again.
The expressions of the fifty or so royal relatives changed slightly again.
They secretly looked at Xia Miaoyuan.
Yes, that’s right, they heard the little princess’s voice!
It turns out that I can hear the little princess’s voice!
In an instant, all the royal family members in the hall turned their attention to Xia Miaoyuan.
Xia Miaoyuan was only concerned with watching the fun and didn't pay any attention to these things.
Prince Yu and Prince Lin had never seen Xia Miaoyuan and did not recognize her as a princess.
They both found that they could actually hear the little girl's thoughts. They were both shocked beyond words in their hearts, but they couldn't show it on the surface.
Especially Prince Yu, he must defend his title as the most powerful prince of Daxia.
"Fifth brother, I was wrong, I was wrong." Prince Lin pleaded.
"Can this matter be let go just by begging for mercy? You really have forgotten the rules from your childhood." Prince Yu snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows sarcastically.
When they were young, whenever Prince Lin provoked Prince Yu, Prince Yu would order Prince Lin to kneel down before him.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, please don't go too far. We are both princes now." Prince Lin said in a trembling voice.
It was originally a statement of argument, but coming out of Prince Lin's mouth, it sounded full of cowardice.
"You dare to talk back!" Prince Yu grabbed Prince Lin's collar even tighter, his eyes fierce.
When Xia Miaoyuan saw Prince Yu's bullying face, he felt angry and disgusted.
[You bastard, you bully an honest person to this extent. Do you think you are the king of the world?]
[After returning home, he still spoke to the princess with a humble attitude, as if he was terribly afraid of her.]
What? The most powerful prince in Daxia is actually afraid of his wife?
All the royal family members in the first hall were shocked, and their faces were filled with the pleasure of eating melons and listening to gossip.
[He only knows how to bully others and pick on the weak. What kind of ability is that?]
[At home, I was beaten by the princess all day long. Whenever the princess was unhappy, she would whip someone.]
Even if he was beaten, he would still put on a smile and serve water to the princess and wash his wife's feet at night.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, there must be countless purple scars beneath that brocade robe.]
[I remember the book also mentioned that Prince Yu's back was always covered with whip marks, so painful that he couldn't even touch it.]
More than 50 pairs of eyes instantly looked at Prince Yu with complicated expressions.
Prince Yu felt cold all over. Where did this kid come from and how could he know his secret?
