The Second Prince looked down at his sister awkwardly and whispered, "Miao'er, eat slowly. This is a palace banquet."
"Oh!" Xia Miaoyuan suddenly remembered that this was not his own palace, and scratched his head embarrassedly.
[Hey, ever since I turned into a child, I can't help myself when I see delicious food, hehe.]
At this time, all the princes and ministers stood up with their wine glasses. Xia Miaoyuan hurriedly leaned over to look and found that it was the little emperor Yue Haoming who stood up to speak!
"Welcome to the envoys from Daxia who have come all the way here! I'd like to offer you a toast." Yue Haoming said, then picked up the glass and drank it all.
The Second Prince and Han Qingbo hurriedly expressed their gratitude and drank up the wine in their glasses.
Immediately afterwards, princes and ministers also stood up to speak and toast.
The hall was filled with hypocritical and polite voices.
After the palace banquet lasted for nearly an hour, the guests in the hall were already slightly tipsy, and some of those who could not drink much began to stagger.
Xia Miaoyuan resisted the urge to eat like crazy and sat properly.
[Oh, this is so uncomfortable. I might as well not have come.]
[If I stay at the Grand Prince's mansion, maybe my aunt will send me some delicious food.]
Because he was too bored, Xia Miaoyuan searched for Lord Liang among the many guests.
Where is it?
Just then, a bright yellow color appeared in front of her.
"Are you Miaoyuan?" A young man's voice came into Xia Miaoyuan's ears.
She looked up and saw that it was Yue Haoming.
"Your Majesty, my name is Xia Miaoyuan!" Xia Miaoyuan stood up and bowed.
"What a nice name!" Yue Haoming smiled brightly.
"Are you tired of sitting here? Palace banquets are boring and really hard on children. Would you mind if I took you outside the palace to get some fresh air?"
Yue Haoming's tone was very gentle. If he hadn't been wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he would have looked like an amiable brother next door.
[Wow, the little emperor invited me out for a walk? What does that mean? Do you think I'm cute?] Xia Miaoyuan was a little confused for a moment.
She glanced at the Second Prince doubtfully, as if seeking her brother's opinion.
The Second Prince saw that Yue Haoming had friendly eyes and a natural expression, and guessed that he had no bad intentions, so he nodded slightly to Xia Miaoyuan.
Xia Miaoyuan said respectfully, "Okay."
Yue Haoming took Xia Miaoyuan out of the side door of the hall.
The second prince winked at Sang Qi again, indicating that she should secretly protect Xia Miaoyuan.
Yue Haoming took Xia Miaoyuan to the east side of the hall.
To the east of Liuxian Hall is an elegant small garden with tables and chairs.
"Do you like it here? Is it much better than the palace banquet?" Yue Haoming asked gently.
Xia Miaoyuan observed the surrounding scenery and said, "It's quite beautiful. It's also quieter than the palace banquet."
Yue Haoming's smile grew even brighter. He asked everyone to sit down at the table and said, "I noticed you didn't eat much at the palace banquet. Take a look at these. Is there anything you like?"
"I asked them to prepare these."
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the table and saw that it was indeed filled with fruits and snacks, even richer than those at the palace banquet.
In an instant, Xia Miaoyuan was overjoyed in her heart, but she didn't want to show it on her face.
She raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You don't have to be so formal. Eat as much as you want. Eat whatever you like."
Although Xia Miaoyuan was ecstatic, she still couldn't understand Yue Haoming's intention, so she just picked up a piece of dessert and ate it slowly.
I don't know what this little emperor is thinking. Why is he so nice to me the first time we meet?
[Are you trying to cause any trouble? ]
"That shouldn't be the case. I remember reading in the book that he's simple-minded and his IQ is a bit low. With a brain like that, he shouldn't be able to do anything weird, right?"
[Could it be that he fell in love with me at first sight? Does he want to marry me?!]
[No, no, I don’t want to be a princess married off to a foreign country!]
"Ah, not really! He's fifteen, and I'm only four. He wouldn't be that bad, would he?"
How could a teenage boy be interested in a kindergarten girl?
The more Xia Miaoyuan thought about it, the more confused he became. He nibbled slowly at the snack in his hand.
At this time, Yue Haoming's voice rang out again: "Miao Yuan, are you a little afraid of me?"
"Actually, you can treat me as your brother. You don't have to be afraid of me."
"When I saw you for the first time today, I thought of my sister."
"You really do look like her."
"She is my only sister. She also likes to wear bright red clothes and is as naughty as a monkey."
【I see! 】
Hearing Yue Haoming say this, Xia Miaoyuan's heart finally settled down.
Xia Miaoyuan's eyes flashed, and she said in a baby voice, "Can you please invite her over so we can have some delicious snacks together?"
Xia Miaoyuan actually wanted to find out about the little princess's situation, but in order to appear more like an ordinary four-year-old girl, she asked this deliberately.
Yue Haoming's voice was a little hoarse: "She is gone."
"When she was four years old, she fell into the lake and drowned."
Ahhhh!
Hearing this answer, Xia Miaoyuan was instantly filled with regret and self-blame.
"What the hell am I thinking? Seriously. I'm just missing my sister!"
Xia Miaoyuan regretted it for a long time. When she looked up at Yue Haoming again, she found that he was wiping his tears.
"Your Majesty, don't cry. She is so adorable. Even if she dies young, she will fly to the sky and become a fairy child."
Yue Haoming burst into laughter after hearing these words of comfort in a childish voice.
Just then, a sound was heard from the bushes nearby, as if someone had slipped.
"Who's there!" Yue Haoming shouted harshly.
Several young eunuchs immediately came forward to check.
"Your Majesty, it's you!" a male voice came.
A tall figure walked out from the bushes.
Yue Haoming's frown instantly relaxed: "Master Liang, why are you here?"
When Xia Miaoyuan heard Yue Haoming calling him Master Liang, his heart tightened. [Wow, it's that Master Liang!]
Lord Liang's voice came: "Your Majesty, I am truly rude. I just had to go to the bathroom urgently, so I slipped over here to relieve myself."
As he spoke, he had already walked to the table of Yue Haoming and the others.
Yue Haoming laughed and said, "It's okay. People have three urgent needs."
[What urgent need? You didn't see the little emperor bringing me here, so you hid and eavesdropped on me?] Xia Miaoyuan glanced at Lord Liang and complained in his heart.
"Miaoyuan, this is my teacher, Lord Liang." Yue Haoming introduced to Xia Miaoyuan.
"Master Liang, this is Princess Anguo of Daxia." He then introduced her to Master Liang.
Lord Liang bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Xia Miaoyuan stared at Lord Liang's lowered face, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "This is a good opportunity!"
She stood up suddenly and said, "Master Liang, please don't be so polite!"
Immediately afterwards, Xia Miaoyuan slipped and fell towards Lord Liang.
