Xia Miaoyuan turned around and stared blankly at the maid's back.
Nanny Li looked puzzled. "Young Prince, what are you looking at? Let's hurry!"
As she spoke, Nanny Li stretched out her strong arms, picked up Xia Miaoyuan in her arms, and strode into the Zhonghe Hall.
"Hey! Mammy, please walk slower!"
Nanny Li walked so fast that Xia Miaoyuan felt the wind blowing above his head.
When they arrived at the Zhonghe Hall courtyard, Fu'er, the young palace maid from Kunning Palace, was already waiting in the courtyard with a tray.
Just before Nanny Li took Xia Miaoyuan out of the hall, she had already asked Fu'er to rush back to Kunning Palace to get some spare clothes.
Fu'er didn't dare to delay and rushed back to get it in a sedan chair. He was actually faster than Xia Miaoyuan and the others in the round trip.
"Mammy, the clothes are here." Fu'er raised the tray slightly to show it to Mammy Li.
"Bring it in!" said Li Ma, and she picked up Xia Miaoyuan, randomly chose a room, and walked in.
Immediately afterwards, Nanny Li and Fu'er took off Xia Miaoyuan's dress with swift movements.
After Xia Miaoyuan came to this world, he has always appeared as a little child and has long been accustomed to being taken care of.
She cooperated by standing up straight and stretching her arms slightly outward.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Nanny Li and the other woman had already changed Xia Miaoyuan into a brand new dress.
Xia Miaoyuan stretched his arms forward and looked down at the new clothes he was wearing.
"Well, the pink one looks nicer than the bright yellow one from this morning!"
"Oh! There are even lotus flowers and lotus leaves embroidered on it! So pretty, so pretty!"
She carefully stroked the embroidery on the hem of her skirt with her little hands and praised it in a baby voice.
Nanny Li smiled and said, "Well, after all, His Highness is still young."
"That bright yellow color isn't something anyone can wear. The outfit you wore this morning highlighted your noble status."
Xia Miaoyuan listened to Li Ma's chatter impatiently, sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for Fu'er to put on her shoes.
At this moment, Xia Miaoyuan suddenly felt a tightness in his lower abdomen and an urge to urinate.
"Mammy! Stop talking, I need to pee!"
"Hurry! Hurry! It's urgent!" Xia Miaoyuan urged in a baby voice.
Nanny Li's face froze. "Oh, it's your fault. Your Highness drank so much fruit tea. I should have taken you out earlier to relieve yourself!"
While chattering, Nanny Li picked up Xia Miaoyuan, walked out of the room in three or two steps, turned around and walked towards the backyard of Zhonghe Hall.
There are official residences in the backyard of Zhonghe Hall.
"Your Highness, please be patient! Hold on!"
"If he gets all wet, Fu'er will have to go back and get clothes!"
As they were talking, Nanny Li had already carried Xia Miaoyuan to the official room.
Xia Miaoyuan didn't care about anything else and solved the problem of urgency in urination in no time.
Ah! I feel relieved!
Xia Miaoyuan stood there obediently, letting Nanny Li help her put on her clothes, and she started complaining in her heart.
[Luckily I made it in time, otherwise I would have been humiliated.]
[Having my clothes ripped apart at a palace banquet was embarrassing enough.]
If this happened again, like Princess Anguo wetting her dress at a palace banquet, they would be laughing their asses off.
"Okay, now that we're ready, let's hurry back to the palace banquet!" Nanny Li said gently.
"Okay, Ma'am, I can go back by myself." Xia Miaoyuan responded and walked out of the official room.
At this moment, Xia Miaoyuan suddenly heard a faint cry coming into his ears.
"Mammy, Fu'er, did you hear any sound?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li and Fu'er listened attentively.
"No!" Fu'er shook his head in some confusion.
Nanny Li scratched her head and murmured, "There seemed to be a sound, but it wasn't real."
Xia Miaoyuan pricked up her ears and listened carefully again. This time she heard real crying, and it was from a child.
“There’s a sound!”
[Oh, right, Xiao Ba! How could I have forgotten about Xiao Ba?]
[At that time, I even said that I would go out and comfort him later.]
[Could it be that Xiao Ba is hiding somewhere where no one is crying? ]
Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan frowned, "Mammy, let's go and take a look. I remember that the Eighth Prince left the table midway. Could he be crying?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li nodded solemnly.
The master and his two servants followed the sound together.
They judged that the sound came from behind the Zhonghe Hall, so they decisively left the small courtyard of the Zhonghe Hall and walked towards the back.
Behind the Zhonghe Hall, there is a small open space with more than a dozen lilac trees planted on it.
At this time of year, all the lilac flowers have fallen, leaving only a dozen trees full of green leaves.
Nanny Li walked cautiously in front, and Fu'er protected Xia Miaoyuan behind.
The master and his two servants walked quietly and searched as they went.
At this moment, a low but fierce voice was heard, "Don't cry out loud! Do you hear me?"
Xia Miaoyuan's eyes widened instantly and he looked towards the source of the sound. He saw two vague figures behind a lilac tree, one in light blue and the other in lake green.
Judging from the height of the two figures, they don't seem to be adults.
[He really is a child! But this outfit doesn't look like Xiao Ba's. Instead, it looks like Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou.]
Before he understood the situation, Xia Miaoyuan didn't dare to rush over, but just stared at the two figures silently.
Nanny Li was smart and didn't rush forward.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan heard another angry curse, this time it was louder and clearer than the previous ones.
"Xia Chengtai, you better understand that now the Emperor and the Empress won't care whether you live or die!"
[Huh? Why did you mention Xiao Ba's name?] Xia Miaoyuan shuddered when she heard the name Xia Chengtai.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the two figures. This time, she saw a small figure lying on the ground.
And that figure was wearing bright yellow clothes.
[It’s Xiao Ba!] Xia Miaoyuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Today, she and her brothers all wore bright yellow clothes to show their status as princes and princesses.
[Oh no! Xiao Ba is being bullied by Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou!]
Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan lifted her skirt high regardless of anything and ran towards the lilac forest.
She yelled, "Xiao Ba!"
Although Xia Miaoyuan is less than four years old and is small in stature, he is not slow when running.
He ran out in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Nanny Li and Fu'er didn't care about anything else and hurriedly followed, lifting their skirts.
When Xia Miaoyuan ran up to the three figures, panting, they were all surprised.
"Ninth sister!" The bright yellow figure on the ground called out aggrievedly.
Xia Miaoyuan panted heavily and looked at the ground. He was shocked again by the scene in front of him.
That person was the eighth prince Xia Chengtai.
