Chapter 219 The Emperor and Empress Join Forces to Trick Their Daughter After

a pause, Xia Zhengqi said, "You said that the current king of the Dawa tribe is very ambitious. Could they want to unify the northern border?"

[Ahhhhhh! My dear father! I really underestimated you. You even saw this!] Xia Miaoyuan was so excited that she even let go of the spoon. The

white porcelain spoon slid to the bottom of the bowl, and the handle of the spoon was submerged in the yogurt.

Xia Zhengqi and the Empress had already seen their daughter's shocked expression out of the corner of their eyes, and they were secretly happy.

They both pretended to be in deep thought and were silent for a cup of tea before they suppressed their smiles.

It was really great for the couple to join forces to trick their daughter.

The Queen said: "It's not surprising that Da Wa wants to unify the Northern Frontier. Their ancestors accomplished the great feat of unifying the Northern Frontier more than a hundred years ago, but because of their brutal rule, the Northern Frontier fell apart within a few years."

"But, if they really come here to unify the Northern Frontier this time, what should we do?"

A cloud of worry gathered between the Queen's brows.

"The Xiao Lin tribe is definitely not their opponent. If they resist, the Xiao family will probably be..." At this point, the Queen's voice was choked and she couldn't continue.

She was worried about her mother's family from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't need to pretend at all.

[The best way is to take the initiative! ]

[The Xiao Lin tribe took the lead in launching a war to unify the Northern Frontier, and Da Xia was the backing of the Xiao Lin tribe. 】

【Anyway, unifying the northern border is the general trend. Instead of being in a passive position, it is better to take the initiative. 】

【Daxia can only resist the iron hoof of the Dada people if it helps Xiao Lin's tribe to complete the unification. 】

Xia Zhengqi and the queen's eyes lit up.

Their daughter actually came up with such a great idea!

At this time, Xia Miaoyuan pulled her small bun angrily, eager to tell her parents her idea.

【What should I say? Should I directly ask my grandfather to go to war? Will they think I'm crazy? 】

Xia Zhengqi sat next to the queen and said lightly: "What do you think, we send troops to help and support my father-in-law to unify the northern border?"

"This is a very good idea, your majesty is getting more and more wise and powerful!"

【Ahhhhhh! 】

Xia Miaoyuan once again felt the critical hit of Emperor Mingxi's thinking.

[Did the Emperor eat some thousand-year-old ginseng? How did he suddenly become so smart!]

[He actually came up with this idea on his own!]

[Ahhhhhh! I admire my father so much.]

[I can finally sleep well tonight.]

...

Time flies and it's the day of the birthday banquet.

Shanglin Garden has been newly decorated, and the scene is full of joy.

Nanny put a brand new pleated skirt on Xia Miaoyuan early in the morning, and tied red silk flowers on Maomao and Xiaojuzi to show the joy.

Because of this princess' birthday banquet, Emperor Mingxi invited many guests, and Shanglin Garden seemed particularly lively. The

birthday banquet officially began, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites presided over it and asked the guests to salute the emperor, empress and the little princess.

Next, Emperor Mingxi gave a birthday speech.

This time, Emperor Mingxi had communicated with Cao Hanlin in advance, so the speech was neither too long nor too concise.

Cao Hanlin wrote more than 500 words, with brilliant literary talent and gorgeous rhetoric. The guests were full of praise.

[Oh, Uncle Cao finally wrote a manuscript of appropriate length.]

[It's just that Daddy has a good temper. Uncle Cao is like this again and again. He can't even write a good speech for a leader. If it were someone else, he would have been fired long ago.]

Xia Miaoyuan sat in the birthday star position, surrounded by stars, and complained while scanning the audience.

Her eyes fell on the seats of civil officials, and she saw the gentle and refined Cao Qingchun, who was sitting upright in his seat, but his eyes were trying to glance sideways to the back.

Xia Miaoyuan followed Cao Qingchun's gaze and saw Yin Xizi, who was wearing a goose yellow silk skirt.

After Yin Xizi noticed Cao Qingchun's gaze, she lowered her head shyly.

Xia Miaoyuan covered her mouth and laughed secretly, [It seems that the love between the younger boy and the genius doctor sister is developing very smoothly. I am very relieved! ]

[It would be great if the emperor father could come to the scene to grant marriage. ]

Xia Zhengqi stood beside his daughter and read the congratulatory speech, and immediately heard this voice.

After the speech, the guests presented gifts.

Royal relatives, civil and military officials, and foreign envoys came forward one by one to present birthday gifts to the princess.

When it was Cao Hanlin's turn, Cao Hanlin came up with an ancient painting in his hands.

"I am giving the princess an ancient painting passed down from my family. I wish the princess happiness, peace and a smooth life!"

Xia Zhengqi raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Cao Hanlin is thoughtful! This ancient painting is very precious!"

Cao Hanlin's mouth curled up slightly, "Your Majesty, thank you for the reward. I just want to give the princess a special gift from the bottom of my heart."

"Cao Hanlin, how old are you this year?" Xia Zhengqi changed the subject and asked directly about Cao Qingchun's age.

Cao Qingchun was a little surprised, but still replied calmly, "I am 29 years old this year."

"Have you married?" Xia Zhengqi smiled.

Cao Qingchun's face turned red: "I haven't married yet."

"Oh, Lord Cao, you are not young anymore. Do you have someone you like now? In view of your hard work, I will arrange a marriage for you."

Cao Qingchun's whole body lit up: "Really?"

"Sir, don't joke."

Cao Qingchun looked at Yin Xizi who was sitting upright. The moment Yin Xizi's eyes met Cao Qingchun's, her cheeks turned red.

Cao Qingchun opened his legs, strode to Yin Xizi's side, pulled her up, and walked to the front of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have someone I like. Yin Xizi and Doctor Yin and I are in love with each other. Please grant your majesty's blessing!"

"Hahaha!" Xia Zhengqi laughed loudly, "Okay, I will grant you and Yin Xizi a marriage. You two choose an auspicious day to get married, and I will reward you with a mansion as a wedding gift!"

Cao Qingchun and Yin Xizi were immediately moved to tears and knelt on the ground to thank Xia Zhengqi.

The hall was instantly in an uproar.

"Cao Hanlin and Yin Shenyi are a couple!"

"When did they get together?"

"I'm jealous! It's a great honor to marry Yin Shenyi!"

The whole hall was filled with joy.

At this moment, a white figure with fluttering sleeves walked into the hall gracefully, and all the guests were startled.
