Chapter 298 Xia Miaoyuan's acting is terrible

Xiao Wanyin tried to recall the saddest thing in her life, and then she reluctantly suppressed the corners of her mouth that were twitching with laughter.

She bit her lip and turned back, saying with difficulty: "I... I feel very sad when I think of the great disaster." She

reluctantly finished this sentence, and then leaned back on the desk, laughing secretly.

[Woqu, little cousin, can you do it? You are pretending too much, aren't you?

Liang Zhirou pretended to be considerate and said slowly: "Hey, after all, you are older and should be more sensible." At

this time, Xia Miaoyuan pinched her thigh hard below to make her expression look more painful, and then said with a wronged voice: "You haven't answered me yet?"

"What if one day, it is really like what you said, will you help me?"

Feng Manman raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xia Miaoyuan with disdain, "You look so pitiful. We will try our best to plead and save your life."

Liang Zhirou echoed: "If you are still alive, we can just beg the Empress Dowager to show mercy and allow you to leave the palace."

"Then, let you come to my house to be a little maid."

"Although you look clumsy, it's not pleasing to be a maid."

"But who made me, Liang Zhirou, beautiful and kind? I'll just treat it as a good deed."

Liang Zhirou's voice was very gentle, but her tone revealed a kind of disgusting superiority that was high and mighty.

[Bah! I'll still let you be my maid! I'll just treat it as a good deed!]

[I'll still let you be beautiful and kind, ugh...]

Although Xia Miaoyuan was complaining in her heart, she still had a silly look on her face.

Feng Manman cast an admiring look at Liang Zhirou, "Sister Zhirou, you are so kind, you moved me."

"Such a broad mind, such a magnanimity, you are really a role model for girls!"

This wave of rainbow farts flattered Liang Zhirou very much.

She slowly raised her head, squinted her eyes slightly, and showed a contrived smile, "No, no, sister Manman deserves the award."

"Grrrl..." Xia Miaoyuan covered her mouth with a painful expression.

This time, Liang Zhirou's pretentious look really disgusted Xia Miaoyuan, and she finally couldn't help it and almost vomited her breakfast.

"What are you doing?" Feng Manman pointed at Xia Miaoyuan and exclaimed.

"You are so rude! And you are a princess!" Liang Zhirou screamed in horror.

Xiao Wanyin smiled and tried to smooth things over: "I'm sorry, Miao'er ate too much breakfast! Please don't blame me."

At this time, Yan Ruoxi, who was sitting in the back row with Feng Manman and the others, glanced at Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou with a cold look, and said lightly: "You two study partners should talk less."

"After all, this is a place to study, not a backyard for gossip."

Feng Manman was originally arrogant, but was suddenly provoked by Yan Ruoxi's words, and her face instantly sank.

"We didn't say anything to you, why are you so anxious?" Feng Manman turned around and glared at Yan Ruoxi.

Yan Ruoxi's expression remained the same. She looked at Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou steadily and said, "We are in school, we shouldn't talk about other things."

"Study hard and listen to the teacher's teachings. This is the duty of a student."

"Accompanying the princess, being respectful and polite to the princess, and giving advice at the right time, this is our duty as the princess's companions."

"Moreover, no matter who you are, we should not discuss the affairs of state."

"Please be careful."

After saying that, Yan Ruoxi's expression remained the same, and she continued to read with her head down.

Liang Zhirou glanced at Yan Ruoxi and coaxed Feng Manman softly, "She is just an ignorant nerd. Let's ignore her."

Liang Zhirou patted Feng Manman on the shoulder and asked her to sit down and wait for class.

Xia Miaoyuan stared at Yan Ruoxi in a daze.

[She is worthy of being the granddaughter of an important official in the court! ]

[She is not even ten years old yet, and she said such a thing. Wow! ]

[She has clear ideas, is well-organized, and has a lot of reasons to speak. She is really a talented woman! ]

[What's even more rare is that she has her own opinions and knows right from wrong! ]

At this time, Yan Ruoxi may have felt that someone was staring at her, so she slowly raised her head, and her clear eyes met Xia Miaoyuan's eyes.

Yan Ruoxi smiled at Xia Miaoyuan in a friendly manner, and that smile seemed to be silently comforting her.

Xia Miaoyuan was instantly warmed and a little surprised.

[Wow, I always thought she had a cold temperament. This smile is so warm! ]

[Is she worried that I was frightened by those two turtle grandsons just now, and is she deliberately comforting me? ]

[Is she really warmed by this? ]

Xia Miaoyuan felt sweet in her heart, and she also smiled sweetly and responded to Yan Ruoxi.

Three days later, an imperial decree came.

A palace banquet will be held in the palace.

There are two purposes of the palace banquet. One is to celebrate the great victory in the northern border. Although the battle in the northern border has not been completely over and the soldiers have not returned to the court, Xia Zhengqi wants to hold a celebratory banquet first so that everyone can have fun first.

The second purpose of the palace banquet is to celebrate the birthday of the empress's mother, Meng.

Because this year is exactly Meng's 60th birthday, it should be celebrated in a big way. Besides, her condition has improved, which is a happy event, so it is even more necessary to celebrate.

When the news came out, both the former court and the harem were shocked.

Civil and military officials, royal relatives, aristocratic families, and even the eunuchs and maids in the palace were all talking about it.

Because in the past dynasties, many emperors have congratulated their mothers-in-law on their birthdays, but in the palace, it is rare to hold a birthday banquet for the mother-in-law in a proper manner.

In a private room in the Tianxiang Grand Restaurant, several men in brocade robes were drinking and talking happily.

A middle-aged man with a goatee asked, "Have you heard? The emperor is going to hold a birthday banquet for Meng Ke in the palace."

A fat man replied, "Didn't the emperor say that the queen has lost her heart? Why is the emperor still holding a birthday banquet for his mother-in-law?"

"Is the news inaccurate?"

An old man at the table said, "My two lords, why can't you figure it out?"

"Many things in the world are not what they seem on the surface."

"One thing on the surface, another thing inside."

The fat man and the man with a goatee said in unison, "I'd like to hear the details."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Haha, it's very simple."

"The emperor held a birthday party for his mother-in-law for the sake of his reputation as a virtuous man, and also to save face for the Northern Frontier." "

But inside, he still uses the Meng family as a hostage to control the Xiao family."

The man with a goatee and the fat man praised, "Older people still see things clearly!"

The fat man said, "After hearing what you said, we understand."

"I was just worrying about what to give Meng Kezun for his birthday party. Now, I think I can just give him something worthless to fool him."
