Everyone looked at Yue Haoyun with some confusion.
"What you don't know is that this Dai Viet witch appears to be a group of her own and seems to be uncontrolled, but in fact, the masters behind her are the successive emperors of Dai Viet." Yue Haoyun frowned.
"This is a secret rule. The Dai Viet witches of all generations only obey the Dai Viet emperor. They obey whoever is the emperor."
"If you betray your master, you will die."
"So, even if we go find the witch, no matter what method we use, the possibility of her telling us the truth of that year is extremely small."
"But don't worry, I will send people to check for those who may have known about it."
"Since I have already promised your emperor, I will definitely do it."
When everyone heard Yue Haoyun say this, they felt relieved.
…
Time flies and it’s two days later.
On this day, Dai Viet held a grand palace banquet to welcome the arrival of the Daxia delegation.
In the afternoon, the second prince and his entourage arrived at the Dai Viet Royal Palace.
Xia Miaoyuan specially changed into a bright red gauze dress, which was embroidered with lotus flowers and dotted with small pearls. At first glance, it was bright and eye-catching, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
Nanny Li combed her hair into a simple and elegant bun and put a flower crown on it, which looked beautiful and charming.
This dazzling outfit, coupled with a delicate and pretty face, makes her look like a fairy from heaven.
Xia Miaoyuan also brought his own Maomao with him.
When the carriage arrived outside the palace gate, Xia Miaoyuan got off the carriage and rode on his sika deer.
The guard at the gate stopped him and said, "There are palace regulations that prohibit entry on horseback."
Xia Miaoyuan spoke slowly, "This princess isn't riding a horse!"
The two guards took a closer look at Maomao and realized it was a sika deer. They looked a little embarrassed.
The two looked at each other, their faces showing embarrassment.
One of the guards said, "Although it's not a horse, it's still a mount! You're not allowed to ride it into the palace anyway."
The Second Prince chuckled and explained, "My lords, my sister is too young to walk very far. This deer is just a means of transport for the child. It's not really a mount, just a pet."
Yue Haoyun stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "This is the Second Prince of Daxia, and this is Princess Anguo of Daxia. You must not be rude!"
The two guards hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.
Xia Miaoyuan held the reins with both hands, rode Maomao in with his head held high and chest puffed out.
The delicate little baby riding a deer walking on the palace road immediately attracted attention.
The princes, ministers, eunuchs and palace maids who came to the banquet all started talking about it.
"This Princess of Daxia actually rides a deer!"
"Don't you remember? Isn't she the little princess that the Emperor of Daxia loves like a treasure?"
"Of course I don't remember. It is said that the Emperor of Daxia often carried her to court, and even when reviewing memorials."
"This little princess is indeed adorable, but she's just a child after all. It's hard to bring her to court! Oh, it's really too frivolous."
"Who says it's not true? It's said that the little princess came to our Great Viet with the delegation this time because she insisted on coming, and the Great Xia Emperor agreed."
"Tsk tsk tsk, my beloved daughter has reached such a state."
There were exclamations and laughter from the crowd.
This palace banquet was held in the Liuxian Hall of the Dai Viet Imperial Palace.
When Xia Miaoyuan and his companions were about to arrive at Liuxian Palace, the sedan chair of the young emperor of Dayue happened to come from the opposite side of them.
It is still very hot in the afternoon in late summer.
The little emperor Yue Haoming was sitting in a sedan chair, feeling a little sleepy due to the sun, but suddenly he felt a bright light in front of his eyes, and a ball of red came towards him.
"What!" Yue Haoming rubbed his eyes.
He looked closely and found that the ball of red was actually a little girl.
The little girl's clothes are bright and eye-catching, and she is very cute.
What was even more surprising was that she was riding a sika deer with smooth fur.
The deer had an elegant gait, making the little girl on its back look like she came from the fairyland, emitting an otherworldly aura.
"Dali, whose family is that little girl from?" Yue Haoming's eyes lit up and he asked the trusted eunuch beside him.
The chief eunuch named Dali took a good look and whispered, "Your Majesty, she must be the Princess Anguo of Daxia."
Yue Haoming observed Xia Miaoyuan with great interest, muttering, "What a Princess Anguo! The rumors are true. She is indeed born very special."
As they were talking, the Second Prince and his entourage met Yue Haoming's ceremonial procession in front of the Liuxian Palace.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" The Second Prince and his entourage saluted Yue Haoming in unison.
Xia Miaoyuan was also carried down and bowed respectfully to Yue Haoming.
Yue Haoming smiled and waved to the crowd, "Please stand up. Today is a palace banquet. You distinguished guests who have come from afar, so there is no need to be formal. Just enjoy yourself and have fun."
Xia Miaoyuan raised his eyes and observed Yue Haoming quietly, complaining in his heart, "So this is what the little emperor of Dayue looks like!"
[I remember the book saying that this young emperor, Yue Hao, ascended the throne when the previous emperor passed away when he was only twelve years old.]
【In fact, he is also quite miserable in the book. 】
[His talent is very mediocre, and it can even be said that his IQ is lower than that of his peers.]
[It would be nice for a prince like this to live as a leisurely prince in his fiefdom in the future.]
[Unfortunately, his mother, Zhu Ling, was ambitious for power. She did her best to help her son ascend the throne, and after becoming the Empress Dowager, she began to control the government.]
Yue Haoming naturally became a puppet.
[However, this woman, Zhu Ling, truly lacked any political acumen. She caused Dai Viet's national power to decline and eventually lead to its demise.]
[Ah, this Zhuling Empress Dowager is like the reincarnation of Cixi! They're both the type who are both naive and playful.]
The second prince listened attentively to his sister's thoughts, and became confused after hearing the latter part.
Who is Cixi? I've never heard of her!
Just as Xia Miaoyuan was complaining, everyone had already entered the Liuxian Palace.
The princes and ministers had already sat upright in their respective seats, and on the stage in the middle of the hall, eight dancers were dancing gracefully.
In the corner of the hall, several musicians were playing seriously.
The young eunuch led the second prince and his entourage to the seats arranged for them.
[Let me see what delicious food is served at the Dayue Palace banquet? ]
After sitting down, Xia Miaoyuan's attention was immediately attracted by the delicious food on the table.
The second prince originally wanted to listen carefully to the story of Yue Haoming and Zhu Ling, but at this moment, his sister was only thinking about food.
This dessert is so unique, much more delicate than Daxia's. Let me try it.
[Mm, delicious, soft, sweet, but not greasy, absolutely amazing, hahaha!]
[This looks delicious too. I wonder if there's any filling inside. Let me try it.]
