In the blink of an eye, the Fifth Prince was in front of Xia Miaoyuan. He looked at her with disdain: "It's not a big deal. She wasn't hit at all."
Then the Fifth Prince lowered his head, brought his face close to Xia Miaoyuan, glared at her viciously, and said in a low voice: "You little bastard, just like your mother!"
Xia Miaoyuan was startled by his sudden action. After hearing his curse, she clenched her fists in anger.
[Hmph, you dare to scold me, you dare to scold my mother! This grudge will be remembered by this princess!]
Huh? What's that sound?
The fifth prince was stunned.
He actually heard an angry little voice.
[You treat a thief as your mother, you can't tell good from evil, you think you are so noble! You are nothing but a fool!]
Xia Miaoyuan glared and cursed in his heart.
Ah! Could it be the voice of the heart?
The fifth prince realized that he had heard the little princess's thoughts.
"Ah..." He couldn't help but exclaimed and quickly took two steps back.
Everyone was startled by his action and looked at him in confusion.
The fifth prince looked around and found that everyone looked normal and seemed not to have heard the little princess's thoughts.
Am I the only one who can hear this voice?
The fifth prince was immersed in shock, but he heard the voice of his heart again.
"What are you so proud of? Your mother was just a concubine. Concubine Jiang couldn't have children, so she snatched you from your mother and adopted you as her son. Do you think Concubine Jiang truly loves you and treats you well? She's just using you as a tool."
Poor little thing, you've been treating a thief like your mother for nine years and haven't even seen your own mother. And yet you're still acting so arrogantly. Tsk tsk tsk... You're both pitiful and hateful!
Ah, what? Concubine Jiang isn't her biological mother?!
Your biological mother is a lowly little courtesan?
Concubine Jiang killed my mother and took me away?
The fifth prince looked shocked.
"Fifth Prince, what's wrong with you?" asked a young eunuch.
The fifth prince came to his senses, looked at Xia Miaoyuan's angry eyes again, covered his face, turned around and ran away.
[Hahaha, are you scared by my ferocious expression? You little idiot! Roar, roar, roar, roar, this princess is mighty!]
Xia Miaoyuan cheered and kicked his chubby legs proudly.
"What's wrong with Madam Li? Why is there a bump on your forehead?" A soft female voice came.
Xia Miaoyuan looked and found that it was Yingxue who came out to look for them.
"It's okay, it's okay." said Nanny Li.
"Stop walking around and bring the princess over here. The old concubine is here and she's asking to see the little princess. The emperor, the queen and the empress dowager are all waiting for her." Yingxue urged.
After a while, Xia Miaoyuan was carried to the main hall.
The so-called old concubine was the late emperor’s noble concubine De. She was of noble status and even the empress dowager had to respect her a little.
The old concubine happily picked up Xia Miaoyuan, and while teasing the child, she chatted with the empress dowager. Xia Zhengqi, the queen, and Concubine Jiang were all there, occasionally chiming in with a word or two.
Listening to these two old ladies chatting is so boring. When can we leave? Wahhhh! Even if it means going back to my mother's bedroom, that's fine.
Xia Miaoyuan fiddled with her hands boredly, her eyes rolling around.
[I wonder what Erguoguo is doing? It would be nice if he could just come over and hug me and play with me for a while.]
Xia Miaoyuan opened her big grape-like eyes wide and searched for the second prince among the guests.
It was with great difficulty that she finally saw the second prince.
At this time, the second prince was drinking and chatting with several princes and noble sons of similar age.
[Humph, you only care about yourself and have fun, you've completely forgotten about me, your sister.]
Xia Miaoyuan complained in his heart.
After hearing this, the queen covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed, thinking to herself, if your second brother only cared about you today, important things would be delayed.
The second prince had been drinking for quite some time now, secretly groaning in his heart.
Usually, the Crown Prince is around, so it is not my turn to worry about interacting with the other princes and children of aristocratic families.
I don’t know what my royal brother is doing in his own house. He didn’t even come to my little sister’s full moon banquet.
If he were here, I probably wouldn't have to do the task that my mother assigned me today.
The second prince complained in his heart, but at the same time he forced a smile and raised his glass to deal with it.
After complaining, the second prince continued to cheer up, looking around from time to time, as if he was looking for someone.
But when someone spoke to him, he immediately looked at them with sleepy eyes, his body swaying slightly, and speaking with a lisp.
[Is Erguoguo pretending to be drunk? ]
Xia Miaoyuan was full of doubts.
Suddenly, a young eunuch came towards their table carrying a tray.
Looking closely, the eunuch's eyes were filled with nervousness and anxiety.
"Come, today is my little sister's full moon celebration, I will toast you again!" The second prince stood up unsteadily, spoke with a thick tongue, and raised his glass at the same time.
Those people also stood up, raised their glasses and said congratulations.
Just as the young eunuch approached the second prince and was about to place the wine jug on the table, he slipped and fell down along with the tray.
The second prince stared at the tray in the eunuch's hand, dodged sideways nimbly, and at the same time grabbed a young man next to him and blocked him in front of him.
When the eunuch fell to the ground, the wine jug and dishes on the tray also fell heavily to the ground. The ceramic wine jug and porcelain plate instantly broke into several pieces, and the wine and dishes all spilled out.
The eunuch's fall startled the guests who were chatting and drinking. Only after the young eunuch got up and apologized to the guests did they recover.
