Xia Zhengqi originally wanted to scold Feng Panpan and Jiang Shuyi, but when he saw that most of the royal family members had already left, his mind suddenly became confused.
What's wrong with them?
Is there something wrong with the food?
That’s not right. If there’s something wrong with the food, wouldn’t everyone feel uncomfortable in their stomach?
Could it be?
Xia Zhengqi felt his whole body stiffen.
Could it be that they could all hear Miao Er's thoughts?!
At this time, Xia Zhengqi's mind was all on Feng Shulai in the rockery.
"Mrs. Feng, Feng Panpan, stop crying and go down first." Xia Zhengqi said lightly.
"Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, please don't spoil the fun."
When the Empress Dowager saw Xia Zhengqi speaking, she quickly said, "Go down quickly!"
Jiang Shuyi and Feng Panpan then returned to their seats.
Seeing that there was nothing interesting to see here at Feng Panpan's place, Xia Miaoyuan felt bored in his heart.
She turned her head to look at the sun outside the hall. It was at its highest point in the sky.
[Well, at this time, there should still be something to see at the rockery.]
[Oh my, this princess has a gossipy heart! ]
"Sister, let's go out and play!" Xia Miaoyuan grabbed another meatball and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it, and then slid off the chair.
Xiao Wanyin cooperated and took Xia Miaoyuan's hand and ran out.
When the queen came to her senses, she saw that her daughter and niece had left the table. She called out anxiously, "Miao'er, come back soon!"
But it was too late. Although the running baby had short legs, his speed was not slow at all.
Before the queen could finish her words, Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin had already run out of the palace.
The queen had no choice but to lift her skirt and hurried after him with her maid.
Outside the rockery of Shanglinyuan.
King Min, with his white beard, held a pipe in his mouth, leaned his hands against a small tree, and listened attentively.
The Second Prince hurried over and saw the old man, Prince Min. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Third Uncle, is your stomach feeling better?"
Prince Min looked embarrassed and quickly stood up straight, pulling the corner of his mouth and said, "Oh, I was just about to leave the table and go to the official room, but I didn't expect that while I was walking, my stomachache suddenly stopped."
"I see the scenery here is very beautiful, so I'll smoke a cigarette and relax."
After Prince Min finished explaining, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did the Second Prince leave the table as well?"
The Second Prince scratched his head and said, "Little Prince, come out... get some fresh air, um, get some fresh air."
Prince Duan and Prince Jin came running over, breathless. They were startled, looked at each other, and said in unison, "They're all here!"
King Min: "This king and the second prince are here to get some fresh air."
Prince Duan smiled awkwardly, "Sitting at a banquet for so long is really uncomfortable. It's good to come out and get some fresh air."
The King of Jin also agreed with a smile, "Everyone is right. This place is very beautiful. It's perfect for a stroll and leisure."
As he spoke, he walked back and forth a few steps, pretending to enjoy the outdoor scenery.
More and more people gathered outside the rockery. They were all royal princes, dukes and the like. They were chatting awkwardly while concentrating on listening to the movements inside the rockery.
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
Suddenly, a shrill eunuch's voice came from the rockery.
"Shh!" Old man Min Wang put his finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence.
"Everyone be quiet."
These princes actually nodded in tacit understanding.
In an instant, a strange scene appeared.
Beside the grove outside the rockery, more than 30 princes, dukes, emperors, and crown princes stood quietly, each holding their breath, frowning, and tilting their ears towards the direction of the rockery.
Then, another magnetic male voice came from the rockery.
"Miaoren, you must have heard wrongly. It's very quiet outside. They're all drinking at the banquet at this hour. Who would come here?"
The faces of the 30 or so princes were filled with surprise and excitement at having tasted such a big melon on the spot.
At this moment, Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin ran over hand in hand, and the princes made gestures to them to keep quiet at the same time.
He was making expressions on his face.
Xia Miaoyuan was confused: [What's going on? What are you all doing here?]
"Grandpa Whitebeard, why does your face look like this?" Xiao Wanyin said crisply.
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise!" Old man Min Wang came up to the two little babies anxiously and said in a whisper. Because he was too anxious, the amplitude of his brows and eyes became even larger.
"Are you having a seizure? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?" Xiao Wanyin opened her big, innocent eyes and blinked at King Min.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" King Min screamed in a low voice, pounding his chest in despair, like a manic gorilla.
Xia Miaoyuan stared at King Min as if he were mentally retarded: [What do you want to do, old man?]
"Wow! It's scary!" Xiao Wanyin burst into tears.
"Miao Miao, Grandpa with white beard is so scary, let's go!" Xiao Wanyin wiped her tears in grievance.
"I told you not to make any noise!" King Min couldn't help but yelled out of control.
The 30 or so princes and dukes standing by all had dark lines on their faces and glared at Prince Min angrily.
King Min quickly glanced at everyone and covered his mouth in embarrassment.
The second prince slapped his head and shouted, "Oh, I saw a big fat rabbit running into the cave in the rockery. I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he lifted up the corner of his robe and ran towards the rockery.
Prince Duan saw it and immediately understood what was going on. He immediately agreed, "Second Prince, wait for me. I will go with you."
"This prince is coming too!"
"This prince is the best at catching rabbits!"
"And Xiao Wang!"
Immediately afterwards, these people rushed to follow the second prince.
For a moment, Xia Miaoyuan felt his mind was in complete chaos and he couldn't figure out the situation at all.
[That's not right. This paragraph is not mentioned in the book.]
[What's going on? Can anyone tell me?]
[I remember that in the book, King Min was the only one who caught Feng Shulai having an affair, and he happened to see them by chance when he came out to get some fresh air during the banquet.]
[Could it be that old man Min Wang was too bored to go out alone, so he called a bunch of brothers, nephews, and grandnephews to come along?]
Xia Miaoyuan stood there in a daze, his face full of astonishment.
Outside the rockery is a small forest.
Strictly speaking, this grove is a specially cultivated sapling.
The gardener in charge of gardening in the palace saw that there was an open space here and applied to use it to grow saplings.
I originally planned to transplant the saplings after they grew well.
Therefore, this grove is very dense.
A group of people ran in, looking very miserable. Some had their robes torn by the dense branches, some had their hats caught off them, and they moved forward very slowly.
At this moment, the Queen also came hurriedly with Sang Qi and Yingxue, holding up her skirts.
Behind the queen followed Xia Zhengqi, who looked confused.
