In fact, what Xia Miaoyuan is worst at is naming.
At the beginning, she named the fawn she picked up Maomao because the fawn was furry when she first picked it up.
She named the kitten Little Orange because it was an orange cat.
She is always so direct when naming.
She bit her fingers and looked up at Yue Haoyun.
The new look that Sang Qi had given him was one with fair skin and two thick eyebrows that were very eye-catching.
Xia Miaoyuan finally had an idea and said, "Let's call him Nongmei! Wow, what a unique name!"
A hint of pride flashed across her face.
Everyone was stunned, and the Second Prince quickly covered his mouth. He almost burst out laughing.
Yue Haoyun rolled his eyes at the Second Prince. "That's it? This is considered a lot of ideas? Seriously? Are you deliberately making fun of him?"
The second prince hurriedly avoided his gaze.
"How about this name?" Yue Haoyun asked Xifeng.
Xifeng was covering his mouth with one hand. He really wanted to say that the name was a joke, but after all, it was Princess Anguo who gave it, so he had to give her some face.
Thinking of this, he suppressed a smile and said, "Very special, what a good name."
Yue Haoyun walked up to Xifeng and glared at him.
While chatting and laughing, everyone was ready.
Everyone got on carriages according to their status and headed to the Dai Viet Royal Palace.
At the same time, in the Dai Viet Royal Palace, in the De Ninh Palace where the Queen Dowager lived.
Zhu Ling sat in front of the dressing table in the inner room, twisting her slender waist. She was wearing a large-sleeved gauze shirt, revealing her white neck and delicate shoulders.
On her head, her long hair was like black satin, hanging loosely.
"Sir, which headgear do you think I should wear today?" Zhu Ling looked at the man beside her tenderly.
The man was tall and straight, with a handsome face, and was dressed in a deep blue brocade dress. He was none other than Mr. Liang, the imperial tutor of the young Emperor of Dai Viet.
Mr. Liang turned his head and looked behind him. He saw six palace maids, each holding a tray, and on each tray was a set of luxurious head ornaments.
Mr. Liang examined them carefully and pointed to one of the pearl sets and said, "In my opinion, this set of pearls would be a good choice for Your Majesty on His Majesty's birthday today."
"It's both grand and shows your grace and elegance."
As he spoke, Mr. Liang smiled fawningly at Zhu Ling in the mirror, his waist slightly bent, looking servile.
"Sir, you have good taste. I will listen to you." As she said this, she stretched out her slender hand and gently hooked Mr. Liang's chin.
Just when the beautiful finger was about to leave the chin, Mr. Liang suddenly tilted his head slightly, pursed his lips, and pecked the jade hand steadily and accurately.
Zhu Ling was startled, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she quickly pulled her hand back.
She said in a low, coquettish voice, "Sir..." But her watery eyes gave Mr. Liang a charming glance.
The palace maids behind Zhu Ling all looked as if they were used to it when they saw this, with only the corners of their mouths slightly raised.
…
It is a custom of Dai Viet to enjoy night banquets.
At dusk, the second prince and his entourage arrived at the palace.
At this time, the entire Dai Viet Royal Palace was already decorated with lights and filled with a festive atmosphere.
Eunuchs and palace maids, dressed in neat palace costumes, were walking back and forth on the palace road, carrying things in their hands, appearing extremely busy.
Although the banquet had not yet begun, the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras had already begun.
Led by the eunuchs, the Second Prince and his entourage arrived at the Bihua Palace, where the palace banquet was to be held today.
When they arrived at the Bihua Palace, it was already full of princes, ministers, and noble ladies.
Today is the Emperor's birthday, also known as the Wanshou Festival. It's a big day, and no one dares to neglect it.
Because the protagonists of the palace banquet, the young emperor and the empress dowager, had not arrived yet, the palace banquet had not officially begun, and the guests were moving freely in the Bihua Palace.
They went in groups of three or four to meet guests they were familiar with and chatted with them in a restrained manner.
As soon as the Second Prince, Xia Miaoyuan and their group entered the Bihua Palace, they attracted the attention of the guests.
They were wearing Daxia clothes, which were so eye-catching that it was impossible to keep a low profile.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince of Daxia, how are you?" Some courtiers of Daiyue politely greeted the Second Prince and Han Qingbo.
"All is well, all is well, everything is fine!" The second prince nodded politely to the ministers who came to greet him.
This place is not like Daxia or Dayue, where children are not allowed to play at the palace banquets.
Xia Miaoyuan's presence was indeed an exception, and was a special treatment given by Dai Viet to foreign envoys.
Therefore, she couldn't find any friends of the same age to play with her, so she could only frown dejectedly and study the snacks on the table.
[This pastry looks like an octopus. I don’t know what it’s called. It’s so ugly!]
Xia Miaoyuan was complaining in his heart when he heard the high-pitched voice of a eunuch.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived..."
All the guests in the hall fell silent, facing the hall door, and knelt on the ground in unison.
Xia Miaoyuan was also pulled by Sang Qi, and reluctantly knelt on the ground with his head down.
Being an envoy is not easy. You have to kneel down and kowtow to the emperor at every turn...
[Alas, thinking back to the past, this princess has knelt and performed solemn ceremonies over the years in her own country, but the number of times she has done so is still less than in these short twenty days.]
Xia Miaoyuan complained in his heart, secretly tilted his head and glanced outside.
There was the sound of orderly footsteps, and several young eunuchs led the way. The little emperor Yue Haoming walked forward slowly and skillfully with the square steps.
Behind Yue Haoming was the Empress Dowager Zhu Ling, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Looking behind Zhu Ling, it turned out to be the Imperial Teacher Mr. Liang.
Xia Miaoyuan was originally bored, but when he saw this scene, his gossipy heart was immediately ignited.
[Woqu, what's going on? How could that new Imperial Master actually gain Zhu Ling's trust and importance?!]
[I was actually allowed to be with them? ]
Xia Miaoyuan fixed his eyes on Zhu Ling and the Imperial Master, watching them walk step by step into the hall.
Because it was the Wanshou Festival, Zhu Ling specially wore an elaborate and luxurious dress, which made it difficult for her to walk.
Her steps were slow.
Suddenly, the long hem of Zhu Ling's skirt tripped her feet.
Zhu Ling staggered, her body swayed violently, and she was about to fall to the ground.
Xia Miaoyuan felt a tightness in his heart when he saw this scene.
It would be a lot of fun if the Queen Mother of Dai Viet fell during her birthday celebration.
Just when Zhu Ling was about to fall, the Emperor Master swiftly stretched out an arm and embraced Zhu Ling's slender waist.
Zhu Ling stood firm and gave the Imperial Teacher a sweet smile.
That smile was very bright and very beautiful, but it lasted very, very short.
The Imperial Master also pulled his arm back as quickly as possible and continued to move forward with the Square Step.
[Ahhh! My eyes are dirty! ]
[Dare to lay your hands on the Empress Dowager?]
Xia Miaoyuan was so shocked that her mind went blank.
