He Lishen bowed to Yue Haoyun and said, "Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed. We in Great Yue have never had such a rule."
Yue Haoyun said coldly, "Didn't you see how Princess Anguo was crying? If you don't let her live in the palace, where else can she live?"
Helishen's face froze and he was speechless for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Helishen said, "This matter still needs to be consulted with the Emperor. I will go to the palace first to ask for his instructions."
The Second Prince glanced at Helishen and said, "Okay, then go and ask for instructions immediately. The young prince's sister can't wait too long."
Khrishen responded and rushed to the palace in a hurry.
…
Dai Viet Royal Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhu Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "Helishen, I asked you to show them some warning. How did you end up like this?!"
"You actually provoked their little princess, and now they're clamoring to move into the Grand Prince's mansion! What can I say about you?"
Hrishchen: I did as you said and taught them a lesson. Now that something's wrong, you blame me?
Zhu Ling looked at Han Lie standing beside her and said, "Master Han, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Han Lie stroked his chin and said, "As far as I know, this Princess Anguo is indeed the apple of the eye of the eye of the Great Xia Emperor. Sometimes when the Great Xia Emperor goes to court or handles official business in the Imperial Study, he always brings her with him."
"I heard that the Emperor of Daxia waited nearly twenty years for this daughter, and he loves her like the apple of his eye. No matter what Princess Anguo asks, he will agree to it."
"So, if you displease Princess Anguo, the consequences are unpredictable. It's possible that the Emperor of Daxia will be furious."
Zhu Ling frowned: "So, we can only follow the little girl's wishes and let them live in the palace?"
Han Lie smiled embarrassedly and said nothing, expressing his affirmation with silence.
At this time, a young man's voice rang out: "Mother, there's nothing to be afraid of. They're just staying in the palace. Let them stay there. Yue Haoyun is seriously injured anyway, and he won't be able to move around for a few days."
"Could it be that you're afraid that he might take advantage of the opportunity to collude with the Daxia delegation and cause some trouble?"
The person who spoke was Yue Haoming, the young emperor of Dayue.
Yue Haoming is only fifteen years old this year and has not yet taken power.
Zhu Ling was silent for a moment, then turned to He Lishen and said, "You spent time with the prince today. How do you feel about his injuries?"
While thinking back, Hrishen replied, "Today, the prince gave people the impression that he was trying hard to pretend to be in good health."
"When he entered the post station today, he didn't even have the strength to walk and had to ride in a sedan chair. Furthermore, he clearly lacked the strength to speak."
After hearing this, Han Lie bowed to Zhu Ling and said, "Haha, it seems that the prince is seriously injured. Congratulations to the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"
After hearing this, Zhu Ling and the little emperor couldn't help laughing out loud.
Zhu Ling covered her face and smiled, "Alright, alright, just follow their lead. I want to see how long Yue Haoyun can hold out."
After that, she said to the palace maid beside her, "Go and tell Min to keep a close eye on the prince's every move."
…
On the other side, after obtaining the little emperor's permission, the delegation followed Yue Haoyun to the palace.
Of the 1,000 accompanying imperial guards, only fifty were left behind, and the rest were settled outside the city.
Arriving at the palace, Xia Miaoyuan was in high spirits. She rode on the sturdy and tall Maomao and walked into the palace with her head held high.
Now Maomao has become an adult deer. His two horns are thick and beautiful. Due to proper feeding, his fur is shiny, his muscles are firm, and his four legs are long and strong.
Maomao carried the delicate and graceful Xia Miaoyuan on his back, and every step he took was graceful and agile. From a distance, it looked like she had walked out of a painting.
This scene drew praises from people in the palace.
Yue Haoyun adhered to the principle of performing a complete act and still rode in a sedan chair when he returned home. He asked the sedan bearers to carry him all the way to the main courtyard before getting off.
When Queen Min met her husband, she first expressed her concerns with deep emotion, and then fulfilled her duties as the hostess of the palace and entertained the guests.
"I didn't know that your country's envoys would come to stay here. The guest rooms in the mansion were prepared temporarily, so there may be some shortages. Please bear with me." Min behaved properly and spoke gently.
Everyone was taken to the guest rooms.
Min gave some instructions to the delegation members before leaving.
Xia Miaoyuan and the second prince were arranged to stay in a large empty courtyard.
Xia Miaoyuan held Xiaojuzi in his arms, rode on Maomao, and patrolled the yard like a general.
"Yeah, not bad, not bad, much better than that official post station."
When the inspection was almost finished, Nanny Li and Xing'er prepared the bath water.
The two of them grabbed Xia Miaoyuan and coaxed her with kind words. Finally, they washed her clean and changed her into clean clothes.
Xia Miaoyuan felt refreshed. He lay on the couch and stroked the little orange's fur.
At this moment, the sound of a beaded curtain was heard, and a gentle female voice came over: "Your Highness, the servants are here to serve dinner!"
Immediately afterwards, an older maid lifted the curtain and walked in, followed by six or seven younger maids, each carrying a tray.
Everyone bowed slightly to Xia Miaoyuan, and then brought the food to the table in an orderly manner.
The older maid stood beside the couch with her hands hanging down and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I am a maid in the palace's kitchen. I heard that you are a distinguished guest from Daxia, and I am afraid that you may not be accustomed to the food of Dayue, so I specially prepared some Daxia dishes."
"Try it and see if it's edible. If you're not satisfied, please let me know."
The maid's voice was so pleasant that Xia Miaoyuan was completely entranced by it.
[This sound is so comfortable.]
At this time, the maid said, "If Your Highness has no other instructions, we will take our leave."
Xia Miaoyuan shuddered, as if something suddenly occurred to him. [No, this voice is so familiar!]
Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan sat up suddenly and looked at the maid's face. This look scared her.
Just as her heart was in turmoil, the maids had already gone out.
Xia Miaoyuan sat on the couch in a daze, as if struck by lightning.
"Young Prince, what's wrong with you?" Nanny Li looked confused.
Xia Miaoyuan was fine just now, why did he suddenly become abnormal?
"Madame Li!" Xia Miaoyuan grabbed Madame Li's hand and stared at her.
"Did you just notice the leading maid?"
Matron Li murmured, "I didn't pay much attention. I was too busy looking at the food on the table."
Nanny Li asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that maid?"
Xia Miaoyuan's eyes were red with excitement. "Listen to her voice, does it sound like someone else?"
"Do you think she looks like someone?"
