Prince Yu's broken hand was in a splint and covered in a piece of cotton cloth on his chest. His only remaining good hand was diligently picking up food, which looked a bit funny.
"Your Highness, why don't you let me do it?" The princess tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart and forced a smile.
"No, no, I have to serve the little princess her meal."
The Second Prince and Xia Fengchun and his two siblings were also stunned.
When has the dignified Prince Yu ever picked up food for a child?
"Delicious, delicious!" Xia Miaoyuan ate a piece of sea cucumber, and before he finished chewing it, he grabbed a piece of pig's trotter and put it in his mouth.
Prince Yu was delighted to see Xia Miaoyuan eating with such satisfaction on his face.
"Princess, which one would you like to eat?" Prince Yu asked eagerly.
"That, that, and that!" Xia Miaoyuan directed in a baby voice.
In this way, Prince Yu took care of Xia Miaoyuan throughout the meal. Whatever she wanted to eat, Prince Yu would immediately put it into her bowl and politely say, "Princess, please eat."
"My belly!" Xia Miaoyuan finally stopped talking and patted her bulging belly with her greasy hands.
"Brother, let's go home!" Xia Miaoyuan said to the second prince in a baby voice.
Before the Second Prince could reply, Prince Yu immediately said, "Don't worry, since you're here, why don't you just have some fun in the palace before leaving?"
The Second Prince looked surprised and said, "Uncle Prince Yu, your hand is still injured. Please rest in your residence and we brothers and sisters will not disturb you."
What the second prince said was common sense, and the princess glanced at him approvingly.
The princess was just about to take advantage of the situation and arrange for the Second Prince and his sister to be escorted out of the palace, but unexpectedly Prince Yu said, "This little injury of mine is nothing!"
"How can it compare to the little princess coming to play in the mansion?"
"Nephew, don't take my injury seriously. Just pretend it doesn't exist. Stay in Prince Yu's Mansion and have fun."
"If you have fun, then stay here!"
For a moment, everyone looked at Prince Yu as if he were an idiot.
Second Prince: "Stay here?"
"There's no need to stay here. We can just play for a while before leaving."
When the second prince heard the suggestion of staying, he immediately agreed to the previous suggestion of playing for a while.
The second prince responded with a smile, but he rolled his eyes countless times in his heart.
What could there be to do in the palace in the dead of winter, especially one that had been idle for several years? It was just that Prince Yu wanted to keep them for a while longer.
Could it be Prince Yu?
The second prince suddenly recalled that on the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the royal family members gathered outside the rockery and witnessed Feng Shulai's scandal.
After the birthday banquet that day, the prince approached him and confessed his secret of being able to hear his sister's inner thoughts. The two brothers analyzed the reactions of the royal family and all agreed that anyone related to Xia Miaoyuan could likely hear her inner thoughts.
So, Prince Yu deliberately kept them here in order to listen to his sister's voice!
[Really? I still want to go back to the palace and spend time with my mother. This Prince Yu is really annoying.] Xia Miaoyuan curled her lips.
"Little princess, your two cousins love boxing the most. Let them show you some boxing skills."
When Prince Yu heard that Xia Miaoyuan didn't want to stay and play, he hurriedly pulled his two sons out to perform.
Xia Fengchun and Xia Fengqiu looked at Prince Yu in disbelief.
No way? Just to keep the princess a little longer, you'd rather let them perform acrobatics and amuse people?
After all, they are the prince's children.
The princess was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Although the son was not hers, it was really ridiculous for the little prince to use boxing to entertain the one-year-old princess.
Where is the face of Prince Yu’s Mansion?
If this matter were to get out, I would be laughed to death by the noble families.
"Your Highness! Isn't that inappropriate?" The princess advised, suppressing her anger.
"What's wrong? Hurry up! Fengchun and Fengqiu, come up and give the little princess a boxing fight." Prince Yu's tone was unquestionable.
The Xia Fengchun brothers had no choice but to come forward and start punching in unison.
I had just finished my meal and my stomach was still full, so I threw a set of punches carelessly.
"Liuyun! After your brothers finish boxing, come up and perform piano playing for the little princess." Prince Yu looked at his daughter.
Xia Liuyun suppressed his dissatisfaction and nodded against his will.
[Aaaaaaa! What the hell is this? Forced to watch his kid's talent show?!]
Xia Miaoyuan nestled in the Second Prince's arms, feeling overwhelmed.
[This is such a rubbish show, I don't want to watch it anymore. I want to go back to the palace to see my mother!]
At this moment, the butler came in and whispered to the prince, "Your Highness, Mr. Chu is outside the flower hall. He heard that there are distinguished guests at home and asked if he would like to come in and keep them company."
Mr. Chu is a scholar from Jiangnan.
Because he failed the exams many times and his financial situation was very poor, he recommended himself and became a staff member in the palace of Prince Yu.
It just so happened that Prince Yu was a rough man who was illiterate and did not know how to write, so he just needed someone like him by his side.
So Mr. Chu stayed in the palace and usually did some work for Prince Yu, such as writing memorials and articles.
Sometimes when there were guests in the palace, Prince Yu would call him out to act as a tool to liven up the atmosphere.
Prince Yu was just about to ask the butler to pass a message to Mr. Chu, asking him to go back, when he heard Xia Miaoyuan's voice.
[Mr. Chu? Could he be the aide to Prince Yu?]
[This is the aide who hooked up with the princess after Prince Yu broke his leg. Hahahaha!]
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of the plot in the book where Princess Yu had an affair with her husband's aide behind his back.
What? The aide later hooked up with the princess?
Prince Yu suddenly felt cold all over.
His beloved princess actually cheated on him?!
"Hurry up and let Mr. Chu come in to keep us company!" Prince Yu ordered loudly.
The Xia Fengchun brothers who were practicing boxing in the open space of the flower hall, and Xia Liuyun who was sitting on the side, were all severely shocked by this gossip!
The princess actually cheated on her husband? Or was it a staff member in the palace who cheated on her?
So what happened next? According to the Heavenly Book, what happened to the princess?
The three siblings all looked at Xia Miaoyuan, their eyes full of anticipation.
Come on, tell me, was the princess's affair ever discovered? Was she divorced?
The princess was infertile, so the three of them were born to concubines.
Over the years, the princess has beaten and scolded them many times.
However, Prince Yu doted on the princess very much, and even though she did not give birth to a child, he still doted on her.
The princess beat and scolded them, but Prince Yu not only did not stop her, but also believed that the princess was a strict mother who gave birth to a filial son.
If the princess cheated on her father, she would most likely be divorced.
If the princess was divorced, the three of them would no longer have to look at the princess's mood.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, an elegant scholar walked in with a square step and bowed to the second prince, Xia Miaoyuan, and the prince and princess.
