Xia Chengwan quietly raised his eyes and looked around. The eunuchs, palace maids, and nannies in the room were all standing solemnly, and no one spoke.
Besides, what I heard was a baby's voice, not an adult's voice.
Maybe I was too tired from traveling and had hallucinations.
The prince remained calm and gently pulled Xia Miaoyuan's hand: "Come, Miao'er, hold brother's hand."
"Mother, although my sister was born prematurely, she is not weak. Look at her little hands, they are very strong." Xia Chengwan said with a smile.
"Yes, Miao'er is a very lucky child." The queen smiled.
The prince took out an emerald green jade pendant from his bosom and placed it in Xia Miaoyuan's swaddling clothes: "Miao'er, this is a gift from big brother to you."
"Mother, I have been preparing this jade pendant for several months. At the beginning, I didn't know whether you were pregnant with a brother or a sister, and I didn't know what to prepare, so I asked the craftsman to carve this jade pendant."
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." The queen nodded with a smile.
Xia Miaoyuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the jade pendant.
[Wow, the glass is full of green! I'm so rich, this jade pendant must be worth a house, right? Da Guoguo is so generous. I love you, Da Guoguo, Miao Yuan kiss.]
The prince was stunned when he looked at Xia Miaoyuan's crystal eyes.
I heard that little baby voice again.
This time he was sure that it was not an illusion. Could it be his sister's voice?
Oh my God, I can actually hear my sister’s voice!
The prince's expression remained expressionless, but his heart was already surging like a tide.
Queen: How come I gave birth to a little money-grubber!
The prince glanced at the queen out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that her expression was normal, he was ecstatic. "It seems I'm the only one who can hear my sister's voice! Is it because I'm the prince? I really am the chosen one!"
In order to hide his feelings, the prince quickly said: "I don't know when Chengnian will return to the palace. It would be great if he was here now. I wonder how happy he would be to see my little sister."
"I think he's gotten the news, so he'll probably be back in the next few days. When he comes back, let's invite your father over, roast some mutton in the yard, and have some good fun."
When Xia Miaoyuan heard the name Chengnian, he remembered that in the book, Queen Xiao Ruoyu gave birth to two princes, and this Xia Chengnian was the second prince, two years younger than the crown prince.
[Haha, I really want to meet my rough guy Erguo! ]
In the book, the second prince is described as carefree, unconcerned with small matters, upright, and hates evil. This character leads him into many troubles.
The Crown Prince and the Queen were both laughing in their hearts. They didn't expect that the little princess knew the Second Prince so well.
"Mother, I just remembered that tomorrow is Grain Full Festival." The prince changed the subject.
"Then come over tomorrow after you finish your official duties. We'll taste the new tea together and ask the small kitchen to make some new snacks." The queen smiled.
[What? Xiaoman is coming soon? Wait, I remember in the book, the Queen was murdered before Xiaoman, and shortly after Xiaoman, the Crown Prince was framed.]
[And this time, the frame-up was quite grand. Tsk, tsk, tsk, poor Prince Guoguo. What should I do? What should I do?]
Xia Miaoyuan sighed in his heart.
The Crown Prince and the Queen were both shocked: What? Framed?!
The mother and daughter glanced at each other, both pretending to be nonchalant and teasing the little princess. In fact, they were both concentrating on Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts.
[Oh, what should I do? Unfortunately, I'm still too young and can't speak. It's so frustrating.]
[Hey, don’t take it away, don’t take it away! ]
At this time, the two palace maids, Sang Qi and Ying Xue, were taking the little palace maid to sort out the gifts on the table, carefully putting them into brocade boxes one by one, recording them in a book, and then preparing to move them into the warehouse.
Seeing that her treasures were about to be moved away, Xia Miaoyuan became very anxious and couldn't help but burst into tears. She pointed her two little hands towards the gifts and grabbed them tightly.
[Mine, mine, all mine, you are not allowed to take it away! ]
The queen's face was filled with black lines: How could I, the queen of a country, give birth to such a money-hungry daughter?
The prince looked dazed: Sister, please go on.
The wet nurse looked puzzled and thought to herself, I don't know what's wrong with the Queen and the Prince. The little princess is crying loudly, and the mother and child are just staring blankly, not knowing how to comfort the child.
"Why is the little princess crying so hard all of a sudden? Is she hungry? How about I take her to feed her?" The wet nurse leaned forward and pretended to be waiting to hold the child.
"Well, wait a minute." The queen suppressed her laughter.
"Sangqi, Yingxue, don't touch those gifts yet."
After the Queen finished giving her instructions, she looked down at Xia Miaoyuan, her eyes full of doting: "Miao'er, don't you want anyone to move these gifts?"
The baby's crying stopped abruptly.
[My mother understands me so well, woooo...]
The eunuchs and palace maids in the room all exclaimed in amazement: Our little princess is so smart!
"Xiao Luzi, go to the storehouse and pick out a suitable bedside cabinet and place it on the little princess's bed. Put these gifts in the bedside cabinet." The queen ordered.
[Mom is awesome! Now I can watch over my babies every day! Long live Mom!]
Xia Miaoyuan cheered in her heart, staring at the gifts with bright eyes.
Seeing that his sister's mind was completely focused on the gift, he would not continue to talk about the frame-up today. The prince thought to himself and decided to be doubly cautious in the future.
In reality, the Queen was even more anxious. She had just been assassinated, and now the Crown Prince was facing another setback. The situation for both mother and son was truly precarious. However, Miao Yuan was a capricious little girl, and her inner voice was beyond the control of the adults.
If I ask her quietly when no one is around, I'm worried that she won't say anything after she knows that I can hear your thoughts.
Now I can only continue to pay attention to my daughter's thoughts and find an opportunity to remind the prince to be cautious.
The queen frowned slightly, afraid that the prince would notice something, and quickly put on an indifferent expression.
A moment later, the eunuchs and palace maids had arranged the bed and cabinets according to the queen's instructions.
The Queen and the Crown Prince held Xia Miaoyuan and took her to see it.
In the little princess's bedroom, an exquisitely carved mahogany bedside cabinet was placed at the end of the bed, and all the gifts of gold, jade and gems were stacked up in the cabinet.
"Miao'er, look, are you satisfied with what your mother arranged for you?" The queen held Xia Miaoyuan in her arms and showed her the bedside cabinet.
[Satisfied, satisfied! Wow, I can sleep with my babies at night! Ah, how wonderful!]
[I’m rich, I’m rich! I, Xia Miaoyuan, am rich! ]
Xia Miaoyuan babbled happily and waved her little hands.
The Queen and the Crown Prince suppressed their laughter.
"The Emperor has arrived!" A sharp eunuch's voice came into the ears.
[Ah, my emperor father is here.]
