Xia Miaoyuan cursed in his heart when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "I know!"
[So, Daddy was using the opportunity to give Grandma a birthday gift today as a way to test her!]
[Dad had already dealt with the rumors, but he deliberately kept it a secret from everyone.]
[Not only that, he also specially presented a valuable gift to his grandmother in public.]
Next, the guests were asked to present their gifts in public, and knowledgeable people were arranged to inspect the gifts on site.
Those who remain unaffected by the overwhelming rumors and honestly prepare birthday gifts are either people of excellent character or wise and independent-minded.
[In short, these are reliable and available people.]
【Those who fool around with birthday gifts are all people who are not worthy of being promoted.】
Xia Zhengqi listened attentively to his daughter's analysis and couldn't help but praise her in his heart.
[I didn't expect Daddy to be so resourceful! Tsk tsk tsk, why didn't I notice this before?]
Just as Xia Miaoyuan's mind was churning with thoughts, he heard the young eunuch shout, "Prince Zhijia sent a fake wild ginseng root made of radish!"
puff--
When Xia Miaoyuan heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing!
With a "click" sound, Xia Miaoyuan's laughter stopped abruptly.
[Oh no!] Xia Miaoyuan was extremely embarrassed because her dress had come undone at the waist.
She had just eaten and drunk too much, and the waist of her dress was already stretched to its limit. Now she was laughing so hard that the dress could no longer bear the weight and it immediately tore.
[Ah! What should I do? This is so embarrassing!] Xia Miaoyuan was extremely embarrassed for a moment.
Nanny Li was very attentive and perceptive. She immediately noticed Xia Miaoyuan's problem and said gently, "Don't worry, young prince. Let's go downstairs and change into another set."
As she spoke, Nanny Li picked up Xia Miaoyuan and turned to walk out.
Whether it is a palace banquet or a banquet held by dignitaries, a changing room will be prepared so that guests can change clothes or take a temporary rest when any situation arises.
At this palace banquet, the changing area was still set up in the Zhonghe Hall.
Zhonghe Hall is not far from Shanglin Garden and can be reached via a small path.
Nanny Li carried Xia Miaoyuan and went straight to Zhonghe Hall.
However, when they were halfway there, they found a man and a woman in gorgeous clothes sitting on a stone bench by the roadside.
[Looks familiar, who is that? ]
Xia Miaoyuan tried hard to distinguish the two people on the stone bench.
Suddenly, the man on the stone bench turned his face to the side.
"It's the Tenth Uncle!" Xia Miaoyuan blurted out.
"The woman next to you is my aunt!"
"Tenth Imperial Uncle! Tenth Imperial Aunt!" Xia Miaoyuan immediately waved her little hands and shouted loudly.
The man heard the shouting, turned his head and met Xia Miaoyuan's big eyes.
"It's the little princess!" Prince Jin stood up with a smile on his face.
As soon as Xia Miaoyuan saw the Prince of Jin and his wife, she immediately became interested. She jumped up twice and broke free from Nanny Li's arms.
"It's Miao'er!" Princess Jin sat on a stone bench and forced a smile at Xia Miaoyuan.
Xia Miaoyuan keenly noticed that something was wrong with Princess Jin.
"Aunt Ten, what's wrong with you?" Xia Miaoyuan ran to Princess Jin and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I just felt a little stuffy in the hall, so I came out to get some fresh air." Princess Jin said with a smile, but her small face, which was the size of a palm, was slightly yellow.
[Something doesn't feel right!] Xia Miaoyuan murmured in his heart.
[Why does Aunt Ten look so strange?]
Prince Jin also said in a gentle voice: "Miao'er, don't worry. This is just a common condition for pregnant women. It's not a big problem."
"Just get some fresh air and you'll feel better soon."
But Xia Miaoyuan's brows were still furrowed. "Auntie, have you consulted the imperial physician? What did the imperial physician who helped you with your pregnancy say?"
Xia Miaoyuan remembered that after the Prince of Jin and his wife went to the imperial farm, the Queen had specially sent an imperial physician to the Princess of Jin to be responsible for her pregnancy.
Prince Jin said, "The imperial physician examined her and found nothing abnormal. He just told her to rest more."
"The imperial physician said that pregnant women tend to be weak and occasionally experience dizziness and chest tightness, but it's not considered an illness and is common."
[It's still not right!] Xia Miaoyuan looked at Princess Jin's face, feeling doubtful.
My sister-in-law is also slim. After getting pregnant, she has a poor appetite and is weak, but her complexion doesn't look like this!
At this moment, Xia Miaoyuan's eyes swept over Prince Jin's face. "Ah! No, why is Uncle Ten's face yellow too?!"
Xia Miaoyuan's childish face was now focused on thinking, which made her look particularly cute.
Princess Jin couldn't help but pull Xia Miaoyuan over and gently stroked her hair lovingly, "Miao'er, why did you leave the table? Did you sneak out to play?"
This sentence brought Xia Miaoyuan back to her senses. She immediately remembered her dress that had been torn, and her face flushed. "I went to change clothes..."
Nanny Li smiled and explained, "The little princess's clothes were accidentally torn just now, and I was just about to take her to change."
Xia Miaoyuan smiled shyly and quickly broke free from Princess Jin's arms, "Then I'll go change my clothes first!"
After saying that, he ran forward.
Prince Jin and Princess Jin couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Run slower, don't fall!" Nanny Li hurriedly lifted her skirt and chased after him.
When Xia Miaoyuan ran quickly to Zhonghe Hall, he had to pass through a doorway.
Just as she was about to step into the doorway, a dark green figure flashed out from behind the doorway.
Then she walked out in a hurry.
Nanny Li glared at the person and said coldly, "Where did this unruly palace maid come from? Be careful not to offend the young prince!"
The dark green figure stood still and said lightly, "I am not a palace maid. I am here to accompany my wife to the palace banquet. Please forgive me, Madam."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
[So familiar!] Xia Miaoyuan stared at the dark green maid and quickly recalled.
[I remember now! Isn't she the maidservant beside Yao Jinse?]
Because just now in the hall, she paid special attention to Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse, and glanced at them from time to time, and saw this maid, and she still has an impression of her in her mind.
[No, this maid looks weird.]
[Her master hasn't left the table, so why is she coming out? ]
While thinking, Xia Miaoyuan turned his head to look at the maid.
When he turned his head, he happened to see that the maid deliberately slowed down her pace when passing by Prince Jin and his wife.
When she was about to walk past the stone bench, the maid quickly turned her head and glanced at the Prince of Jin and his wife.
[She must have been sent by Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse to keep an eye on Uncle Ten and Aunt Ten!]
[She was hiding behind the doorway just now, she must have been secretly monitoring Uncle Ten and Aunt Ten!]
When Xia Miaoyuan saw the maid's series of actions, he made a judgment immediately.
【But, what is the purpose of doing this? 】
If they were after the exotic crops, why didn't they go to the imperial farm to monitor them, but instead came to the palace banquet to monitor Uncle Ten and Aunt Ten?
