The next morning, Xiao Lingling was pulled out of bed while she was still sleeping.
She was extremely sleepy, she squinted her eyes but didn't cry or make a fuss, letting the people around her touch her all over while she continued to sleep.
But it wasn't long before she realized something was wrong.
Normally, everything would have been tidied up by this time, so why are you still preparing clothes for her now?
She opened her eyes curiously, and found that the people around her were not Chunying and Qiuyan, but several people dressed as palace maids.
She screamed, "Ah! Who are you?"
Hearing her voice, Chunying hurried in with a bowl of hot porridge.
"Princess! Princess, don't be afraid. Because you have been crowned a princess, you will officially enter the palace today to meet the Emperor and Empress. These palace maids were specially arranged by the Empress to dress you.
You'll be wearing a princess's palace dress today, so it's a little complicated, but it'll be quick. You must be hungry, so have some porridge first!"
Little Bell felt dizzy. "Ah? Do we still need to go to the palace?"
Chunying smiled and said, "Yes, not only you are going, but also the master and the mistress are going! They are dressing up now."
After saying that, a palace maid brought over a pair of jade bracelets.
Xiao Lingdang recognized this palace maid. She was the palace maid Yuehua who was beaten in the palace before.
"Hey? Is that you?"
Seeing that she still remembered her, Yuehua smiled and said, "It is indeed me. Princess, do you still remember me?"
Little Bell smiled and said, "I remember, because Yuehua is beautiful."
Children's words always sound particularly relaxing.
Yuehua smiled and said, "I, your servant, do not deserve such praise from the princess. Here, these are a pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets that the queen specially prepared for you. They are very nourishing to wear. I will put them on you."
Little Lingling didn't know what jade and jadeite were, but she would just obediently reach out when someone offered her something to wear.
After a while, the little girl transformed into a princess covered in jewels.
These clothes and jewelry were all made under the supervision of the queen. Although gorgeous, they did not appear too eye-catching. Instead, they made her look very cute and elf-like.
Even Chunying and Yuehua were stunned.
However, the price of being beautiful is that it is a bit heavy. Little Bell’s neck was stiff and she didn’t dare to turn her head.
She glanced at Yuehua in distress, "Sister Yuehua, do all the people in the palace have to dress like this? Don't their necks hurt?"
Yuehua chuckled, "Actually, all the ladies and princesses usually wear casual clothes, which are much lighter. I also sent a few sets to you, the princess.
But today is a formal occasion, and there will be a banquet specially held for you in the evening, so you have to wear palace attire.
Let's go into the palace first. After you've met the Emperor, Empress, and all the officials, you can take off your clothes."
Little Bell's eyes lit up and she walked out.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go! If I didn't know any martial arts, I wouldn't even be able to walk!"
As soon as she went out, she realized that it was still early. After all this trouble, it was only the time she usually got up.
"Hey? Why are you here so early?"
Yuehua smoothed her skirt behind her and said, "Yes, it will be time for the morning court in a little while. Since you have been named the Princess Guardian of the Nation, you need to go to the court and receive the respect of all the officials.
You can have a bite to eat now, we'll be leaving soon."
Xiao Lingling really couldn't understand the rules and could only do whatever she was told.
Wearing these clothes, she even felt extremely restrained when eating. In order not to dirty her clothes, she had to let Chunying feed her.
To be honest, she hasn't been fed for almost a year. How embarrassing~~
But she was still very excited when she saw her father and mother changing their clothes.
"Wow! Daddy and Mommy look so good today too!"
The two of them actually went to the palace to express gratitude and to meet the emperor and empress. After all, they would be godparents in the future, so they had to know what the other person looked like!
But they were lucky enough that they didn't have to attend court, so they felt a little more relaxed.
Even so, Fang was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.
In order to give them courage, Jiang Xinian also followed them into the palace. Afterwards, Xiao Lingdang went to the Golden Palace under the leadership of Yuehua, while Jiang Xinian took Lin Feng and Fang to wait outside the imperial study.
It was Xiao Lingling’s first time to visit the Golden Palace. She looked a little overwhelmed at the high steps at first glance.
Fortunately, Yuehua understood, said sorry, and picked up Xiao Lingling.
He didn't put it down until they arrived in front of the hall. After tidying up her clothes and jewelry, they waited at the door.
Little Lingling's dishonest eyes kept glancing into the hall, and she saw that the huge hall was full of people. She couldn't tell who was who at all, and could only tell their approximate positions and ranks by the color of their official uniforms.
In this respect, she still lacks something.
She was very excited watching it, the only drawback was that she couldn't hear clearly what was being said.
But before long, a series of shrill voices came from inside.
"Summon Princess Jiayin of the State for an audience!"
"Princess Jiayin, the guardian of the state, is here to see you—"
"Princess Jiayin, the guardian of the state, is here to see you—"
It was repeated from inside to outside three times before she could hear it clearly. At Yuehua's signal, she stood up straight and walked into the hall step by step with her short legs.
She felt sad when she saw the threshold that was higher than her legs.
Fortunately, Yuehua appeared in time and carried her in.
She quickly steadied herself and walked in slowly with a calm look.
The aisle in the middle was quite spacious, but a little kid not even as tall as their legs broke into the crowd of adults, and the scene was really funny.
