After she calmed down, her thoughts became clear.
[No! Zhu Ling's eyes are so sharp that they can be seen through. These two are definitely not pure!]
[Ahhh! Could it be that the young Queen Mother of Dai Viet is in love with the handsome and elegant Imperial Tutor?!]
[Furthermore, this so-called imperial tutor is 99.999% certain to be Liang Chaozong!]
[Oh my god, this is a big deal! The crown prince of the fallen Liang Dynasty, Liang Chaozong, is willing to be the concubine of the young Empress Dowager!]
The second prince knelt beside Xia Miaoyuan and listened to every word she said.
I feel complicated emotions at this moment.
Before the brother and sister could calm down, the little emperor and the empress dowager had already taken their seats.
The little emperor's clear voice came, "Stand up!"
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan looked at the Imperial Master again, only to see that he was arranged to sit at a table closest to Zhu Ling.
[So blatant? He even dared to sit so close to me at a palace banquet?! This Zhu Ling is truly outrageous.]
Just as Xia Miaoyuan was complaining desperately, she suddenly caught a trace of resentment.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Prime Minister Han Lie, who was looking at the Imperial Teacher intently, with a cold light in his eyes.
[Oh my, old man Han Lie's eyes are so scary! ]
Just as Xia Miaoyuan was daydreaming, the palace banquet officially began.
The little emperor and the empress dowager took turns speaking, and the princes and ministers congratulated the little emperor one by one and presented him with birthday gifts.
Xia Miaoyuan just felt that these parts were extremely boring and didn't want to watch them at all.
Not wanting to watch, but unable to leave, Xia Miaoyuan had no choice but to sit patiently, his mind wandering as he grabbed the snacks on the plate with his chubby little hands and nibbled on them.
After much difficulty, the birthday celebration finally ended. The singing and dancing continued, the palace banquet continued, and the guests began to toast each other and start a business-flattering mode.
Soon, the hall was filled with a lively and relaxed atmosphere.
Princes and ministers sat together in groups of three or four, or stood together, chatting and drinking.
"Second Prince, I heard that agriculture in Daxia is developing very rapidly!"
"Second Prince, I heard that there are many more varieties of delicious food in the capital of Daxia!"
Some ministers also came up to the second prince, raised their wine glasses and chatted with him.
When the Second Prince was in Da Xia, he had always disdained these useless and hypocritical compliments.
However, times have changed now. As an envoy of Daxia, he can no longer act arbitrarily. He can only imitate those people and chat in a fake manner.
After more than half an hour, the guests in the hall had already drunk a lot of wine and were a little drunk.
The palace banquet fell into a more casual and relaxed atmosphere.
A few officials who were drunk even went on stage and danced with the dancers.
At this moment, the second prince looked back quickly and calmly.
At this glance, he happened to see his follower "Thick Eyebrows" standing respectfully behind him.
He lowered his hand and gestured to Brow, indicating that he could start moving.
Nongmei turned around and retreated out of the hall naturally.
The palace banquet was already more than halfway through, and both the host and the guests had drunk a lot and were much more relaxed.
Therefore, no one noticed the second prince's little movements and Thick Eyebrows' behavior.
However, this scene could not escape Xia Miaoyuan's eyes.
What is Yue Haoyun planning to do? Xia Miaoyuan was puzzled.
At this moment, a bright yellow figure walked up to Xia Miaoyuan.
The bright yellow figure squatted down and whispered to her, "It's really boring here, let's go!"
Only then did Xia Miaoyuan see clearly that the person coming was the young emperor of Dai Viet.
Before she could stand up, the little emperor grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
Seeing this, the second prince gave Sang Qi a look, and Sang Qi followed them.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Xia Miaoyuan asked in a milky voice after leaving the palace.
"Go to an interesting place!" the little emperor replied gently.
Yue Haoming took Xia Miaoyuan's hand and walked all the way, turning around and around, and finally arrived at the edge of a lake.
This lake is a lake in the Dai Viet Royal Palace. Although it is not big, the scenery is nice.
The lakeside was covered in lush green grass and planted with orchids. On the surface, the water rippled with azure water, and lotus flowers were in full bloom, their emerald green leaves forming a continuous mass. Through the gaps between the leaves, fish could be seen swimming happily.
This place is still some distance away from the place where the palace banquet is held. You can faintly hear some faint sounds of stringed instruments, which mix with the crisp croaking of frogs and the chirping of crickets by the lake, creating a unique charm.
"Miao'er, look, this is where I want to take you!" said the little emperor.
Xia Miaoyuan looked around and said happily, "It really is a beautiful place!"
The little emperor smiled with satisfaction and took her to the pavilion by the lake.
The pavilion is not big, with a stone table in the middle and a stone bench next to it.
Xia Miaoyuan picked a stone bench and sat on it. Only then did she realize that snacks, fruits, and tea had already been placed on the stone table.
It seems that the little emperor had thought of this long ago.
"Miaoyuan, these are specially prepared for you by me. I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared some for you according to the tastes that most children like. I don't know if you like it." The little emperor said in a gentle voice, picked up a piece of crystal clear pastry and put it on Xia Miaoyuan's small plate.
"Try this first. This is a specialty of our Dayue. The craftsmanship is very complicated. It's not even available at the palace banquet today."
Xia Miaoyuan picked up the pastry, looked at it carefully, took a sip, and immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Well, it's delicious, delicious, so delicious!" Xia Miaoyuan said vaguely.
The little emperor was so happy that his face was beaming with joy. "I'm glad you like it. Come, have some tea to moisten your body." As he said that, he personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Xia Miaoyuan.
In just a few bites, he finished the cake. Xia Miaoyuan rubbed his fingers and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so kind to Miao'er?"
The little emperor looked at Xia Miaoyuan lovingly and said softly, "Miaoyuan, do you know? You really look like my sister."
Those eyes were clear and pure, reminding Xia Miaoyuan of his brothers.
The brothers in the Daxia Palace, whether they were from the same mother or half-brothers, were all very kind to her, and they had the same expression when they looked at her.
So, she chose to believe what the little emperor said.
"Then you must love this sister very much?" Xia Miaoyuan asked with blinking eyes.
The little emperor nodded, "Yes, I have only had this one sister since I was little, and I really love her very much."
At this point, the little emperor's eyes suddenly dimmed. "If she were still alive, she would be twelve years old this year."
Xia Miaoyuan observed the little emperor's expression and saw that his eyes were filled with stories. He was obviously looking for someone to talk to, so he said with a stern look, "Your Majesty, can you tell me about her?"
