During breaks, the princes and their study companions would usually chat and play in the courtyard.
They were attracted by Xia Miaoyuan's laughter and looked at Xia Miaoyuan one after another.
Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou looked at Xia Miaoyuan's trembling smile from afar and sighed.
"Sister Zhirou, you see, Princess Anguo is quite pitiful. She's probably too young to accept such a horrific thing."
Liang Zhirou raised her head and glanced at Xia Miaoyuan, saying lightly, "Yes! She is not even four years old yet, she is indeed pitiful."
Then, he changed the subject and said, "But who can I blame? I can only blame myself for being born in the wrong family!"
After saying that, a sinister smile appeared on his childish face.
At this time, the two young masters in the distance looked at Xia Miaoyuan with sympathy.
One of them said, "Hey, Princess Anguo, is it possible that the shock was too great for her to accept for a moment, and she's laughing out of fear?"
"I guess that's the case. I heard from adults that sometimes, when people experience great sorrow, they can't cry, but they laugh like crazy."
The two princes talked and sighed.
After learning about the rumor, Xia Miaoyuan was sitting in the main hall, but his mind had already wandered elsewhere.
She thought about it and finally figured out why the rumor had spread to such an extent.
"Recently, the war in the northern border has been intense, and Daddy has been presiding over the overall situation in the Palace of Heavenly Purity day and night. He hasn't been to the harem for a long time."
[Also, even when my grandmother came, she would only stay for a quarter of an hour before leaving.]
Compared to before when I came to Kunning Palace almost every day, it really seems like I've neglected my mother and us.
【No wonder the rumor spread like this. 】
For a moment, Xia Miaoyuan felt absurd and helpless.
[How about going to the Palace of Heavenly Purity after school to see Father? I don't know what's going on there right now.]
After waiting for a long time until school was over, Xia Miaoyuan took Xiao Wanyin to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
When the two little girls entered the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity panting, a young eunuch came running over like the wind, holding a letter in both hands.
"Eight hundred miles, rush!" the young eunuch shouted.
The other palace servants tactfully made way for him.
"Look, little cousin, there should be news from the battlefield in the northern border!"
Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin both stood there, staring blankly at the messenger.
Xiao Wanyin murmured, "I don't know whether this is good news or bad news. God bless, may Grandpa and his men win a great victory!"
Xia Miaoyuan bit her lip. [The battle in Northern Xinjiang lasted for over two years. It was truly not easy.]
After silently sighing in her heart, she took Xiao Wanyin's hand, hurried inside, and whispered, "Little cousin, let's go and see if there is any good news."
Xiao Wanyin was a little hesitant. She was worried that during this special period, if Emperor Mingxi found out, she would be scolded.
But Xia Miaoyuan insisted on taking her there, so she didn't hesitate any longer.
The two stood outside the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity when they heard a burst of hearty laughter from inside: "Hahahaha! Great victory, great victory!"
"This month-long struggle has not been in vain!"
The voice was deep and powerful, carrying the majesty of an emperor, and one could tell it was Emperor Mingxi.
Immediately afterwards, several ministers came to congratulate Emperor Mingxi.
"I congratulate Your Majesty!"
"This great victory is truly a joy for Daxia!"
"It's a blessing for Daxia! It's a blessing for Daxia!"
"May God bless our Great Xia!"
"Cousin, did you hear that? It must be good news!" Xia Miaoyuan excitedly held Xiao Wanyin's hand and raised it high.
"That's great!" Xiao Wanyin's face turned red with excitement.
Afterwards, there was another round of lively discussion. Because of the clamor and the noise, Xia Miaoyuan didn't hear what they said clearly.
At this moment, Xia Zhengqi strode out from inside with a swagger.
"Today, everyone doesn't need to stay in the Palace of Heavenly Purity anymore. Go home and have a good reunion with your wives and children!"
Xia Zhengqi said loudly as he walked out.
"Also, I'll grant you three days of leave!"
As soon as the words fell, a chorus of voices rang out from the hall: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"
When Xia Zhengqi walked to the steps outside the hall, he caught a glimpse of Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin standing beside him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey, why are you two here?"
"Father!"
"Uncle Emperor!"
The two little girls ran towards Xia Zhengqi happily.
Xia Zhengqi picked up the two little girls, one in each hand.
"Hahaha! Let's go back to Kunning Palace!"
Debao, feeling both amused and helpless, stood by Xia Zhengqi's side, smiling and admonishing him, "Your Majesty, please be careful! Why are you holding two children at once?"
"Please put them down. Watch your back!"
Xia Zhengqi didn't care. "What's the big deal? I'm not seventy or eighty years old. I'm not even forty!"
As he spoke, he strode forward.
The good news of a great victory has just come from the northern border. After nearly two months of fighting, the coalition forces of Xiaolin and Daxia finally defeated the Dawa tribe and two other tribal alliances.
In other words, except for a few remnant forces, Xiao Lin's tribe has completed the unification of the northern border.
Now the sixteen tribes on the grassland have all become one.
Xia Zhengqi is really happy today.
After more than two years, this arduous war can finally come to an end.
"Do you two know? We won a great victory in the northern border!" Xia Zhengqi said to the two children with a happy smile.
"That's great! That's great!" Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin cheered in unison.
