Chapter 162 The Little Princess is the Light of Great Xia

The Seventh Prince Xia Chengkang stood up with the help of his mother, and tried to breathe several times. Finally, he breathed smoothly, and his complexion slowly returned to normal.

The concubines in the palace saw this and talked about it.

"I didn't expect that the prince would know how to give first aid!"

"The prince is so powerful!"

"It was really dangerous just now, the Seventh Prince almost died."

Lady Lu pulled the Seventh Prince. The mother and son knelt down facing the prince, and she held back her tears and said, "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for saving my life!"

The prince hurriedly said, "Lady Lu, get up quickly!"

Then he went to help Lady Lu.

"Xiaoqi is my younger brother, and it is my duty to save him. Besides, the one you and your son should thank the most is not me, but the princess."

Princess?

When Lady Lu and the other concubines heard the prince say this, they all looked at Xia Miaoyuan in surprise.

Why should we thank the princess?

"Just now, I didn't know the first aid method. It was my sister who reminded me. I followed her instructions." The prince suppressed his excitement and said slowly.

"Yes, the little princess did want to bring Xiaoqi here just now, but she couldn't." Lipin said. "

It turns out that the little princess was demonstrating the treatment method to the prince." Shufei said.

In contrast, the emperor, empress, and the princes were not so surprised, because they heard the little princess's inner voice.

Those who heard the inner voice were all sighing in their hearts. It seems that the little princess is really a fairy who has descended to the earth. This treatment method has never been used by a doctor before.

Everyone looked at Xia Miaoyuan with surprise and admiration.

"This little princess is really amazing!" Concubine Shu praised.

"Yes, Miao'er is really my blessing and the light of Daxia! It is Daxia's luck to have a daughter like Miao'er!" Xia Zhengqi proudly twirled his beard.

Lu Meiren pulled the seventh prince to Xia Miaoyuan, knelt down with a plop, and pushed the seventh prince down: "Chengkang, please thank your sister for saving her life."

Xia Miaoyuan was startled and jumped away in a hurry.

The Queen pulled Lu Meiren up and said, "Just say thank you, how can you kneel down?"

Only then did Lu Meiren realize that she was inappropriate, and quickly asked the Seventh Prince to bow to Xia Miaoyuan.

"Sister, from now on I will give you delicious food, okay?" The seventh prince looked at Xia Miaoyuan sincerely.

Xia Miaoyuan nodded happily.

"I, your concubine, congratulate Your Majesty for receiving the honor of Great Xia!" As soon as Xia Zhengqi finished speaking, the concubines prostrated themselves on the ground and complimented him.

Everyone calmed down and continued to complete the ancestor worship ceremony.

Xia Zhengqi began to reflect.

Xiaoqi choked because he had not eaten breakfast and was too hungry, so he took the risk of eating secretly.

Being hungry is nothing for adults, but for children, it is indeed a bit difficult for them.

Xia Zhengqi issued an order to postpone the time of ancestor worship by one hour.

In this way, everyone can have time to eat breakfast, and after breakfast, they can go to worship their ancestors and feel better.

The prince also suggested that the first-aid method of choking that Xia Miaoyuan taught him was very useful.

Every year in Daxia, many people choke to death while eating, and there are men, women, old and young.

Xia Zhengqi thought it made sense, and immediately issued an order to spread this first-aid method of choking throughout the country.

First, it should be popularized in all medical clinics, and then taught to the people by the medical clinics. Try to make everyone in Daxia learn this method.

After the ancestor worship ceremony, everyone came to Shanglin Garden.

Shanglin Garden has been decorated with red satin and red silk flowers. Under

the eaves of the main hall and the corridors, there are large red lanterns with New Year pictures painted on them, which is full of the flavor of the New Year.

Even the bare trees that had lost all their leaves were decorated with green satin leaves.

The flowerbeds were planted with roses that were not afraid of the cold.

Pink, white, red, yellow, all kinds of roses bloomed in a dazzling array, which was very pleasing to the eye.

From a distance, the entire Shanglin Garden was a sea of ​​colorful flowers and a festive atmosphere.

The several side halls of Shanglin Garden were already filled with guests waiting for the emperor and empress.

These guests included royal relatives, civil and military officials, and royal merchants.

This was considered the Great Xia New Year's Palace Banquet. Everyone had to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and empress at the palace banquet, wishing the emperor and empress and Great Xia a smooth sailing, prosperity, and national prosperity in the new year.

Xia Miaoyuan was held by the hand of the empress, and as soon as she walked into Shanglin Garden, she was infected by the festive atmosphere.

"Wow! Beautiful! Happy!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted in a baby voice, broke away from the empress's hand, and ran madly inside.

"Miao'er, come back soon!" The empress called in a low voice.

Sang Qi and Yingxue had already run to catch Xia Miaoyuan.

After chasing for a long time, the two finally caught Xia Miaoyuan and held him tightly in their arms.

"Your Highness, you can't run away. There is still a ceremony for all officials to pay New Year's greetings. You have to wait for the ceremony to end. You can move freely when the palace banquet starts."

Xia Miaoyuan pouted dissatisfiedly: "It's so annoying!"

The emperor, empress, empress dowager and others all sat down one by one.

Xia Miaoyuan patiently sat down beside the Queen.

Gurgle...

Xia Miaoyuan's stomach growled.

"Mother, I'm so hungry!" Xia Miaoyuan pulled the Queen's sleeve and begged pitifully.

"Have a snack." The Queen rubbed her daughter's head with heartache, moved the snack plate on the table towards her daughter, turned around and told Yingxue to bring a bowl of milk for the princess.

Xia Miaoyuan grabbed a piece of crab meat cake and ate it in big mouthfuls.

[Although eating snacks for breakfast is a bit burnt, it still tastes very good. I'll bear it! I'll bear it!]

"Please invite all the distinguished guests to wish you a happy new year!" A shrill eunuch's voice came.

Then, the whole hall became solemn and everyone kept silent.

The guests walked into the hall in groups according to their status, paid New Year's greetings to the emperor and the empress dowager, and presented New Year's gifts.

First came the royal family, then the civil and military officials, and then the royal merchants and representatives of the people.

Xia Miaoyuan nibbled on snacks while waiting patiently.

She looked at the guests boredly, and complained in her heart from time to time.

"Prince Min sent a pair of high-grade carrier pigeons and a pair of diamond parrots! Prince Duan sent..." the eunuch shouted. Xia

Zhengqi's third uncle, Prince Min, and several other princes walked into the hall, saluted in unison, and said auspicious words to wish a happy new year.

[What? Carrier pigeons, diamond parrots? No, did I hear it right?】

Xia Miaoyuan's attention was completely attracted by the carrier pigeons and the macaws, and he didn't bother to look at the princes. He bent his neck and looked behind the princes.

He saw a few eunuchs standing behind the princes, holding the new year gifts from the princes.

Among the group of eunuchs, there were indeed four bird cages, each containing a carrier pigeon and a parrot.

【Tsk tsk tsk tsk, people still give birds as gifts during the New Year. The old man King Min is really interesting.】

Xia Zhengqi saw his daughter's strong reaction, and because of the noise in the palace, he didn't hear clearly what she said in her heart. But seeing his daughter desperately craning her neck to look at the birds, he mistakenly thought that Xia Miaoyuan was very interested in these birds.

After several princes finished paying their respects, Xia Zhengqi bent down and asked his daughter softly, "Miao'er, do you like these birds? Can I give them to you as a reward?"

"Sure!" Xia Miaoyuan clapped her hands.

Because there were too many guests, the New Year's greetings lasted for a long time.

After two hours, Xia Miaoyuan had fallen asleep in the chair, drooling from the corners of her mouth.

"Miao'er, wake up, the New Year's greetings are almost over." The queen called softly.

Xia Miaoyuan rubbed her eyes and sat up. After listening carefully, it was the turn of the imperial merchants. There

were few imperial merchants, and after paying their respects, they would become representatives of the people, so it was almost over.

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan stretched his waist excitedly and looked towards the hall with a sharp gaze.

"Please invite the imperial merchants Liang Xin, Sun Baiwan, and Li Qianyou to come into the hall to pay New Year's greetings!" The eunuch's voice came.

Xia Miaoyuan's eyes lit up: [Who? Liang Xin? ! ]

[Isn't Liang Xin the pseudonym of the fallen prince Liang Chaozong! ]
