Chapter 343: Double Happiness: Grand Palace Banquet

According to the rules of the Great Xia Palace, the princes had to leave the palace and set up their own residence when they reached the age of sixteen.

That is to say, the second prince should have left the palace the year Xia Miaoyuan was born.

At that time, Emperor Mingxi also rewarded him with a mansion located in a prosperous area of ​​the capital.

However, later, because the second prince went to the imperial army for training and lived in the army for a long time, he only returned to the palace once in a long time, and the matter of setting up a mansion was delayed again and again.

This time, the queen had specially renovated the second prince's mansion before the army returned to the court, and also found servants.

Seeing his sister's reluctant look, the second prince's heart softened and he said softly, "Miao'er, brother is almost twenty now, it's time to move out of the palace."

"It's really inappropriate for me to live in Kunning Palace again."

"However, Miao'er can come to live in second brother's house anytime, whenever you want, and stay as long as you want."

The queen also stepped forward to comfort her, "Miao'er, don't be sad, it's the palace rule for the prince to move out of the palace and set up a house after he comes of age." "

If your second brother still stays in Kunning Palace, even if your father doesn't care, he will be laughed at."

Xia Miaoyuan's aggrieved little face relaxed a little after hearing what the second prince and the queen said.

[It seems to be the same. ]

"Okay, see you tomorrow, second brother!" Xia Miaoyuan forced a smile and waved goodbye to the second prince.

Nothing happened that night, and it was the next morning in a blink of an eye.

Today was a big day. It was the day that Emperor Mingxi held a celebration banquet for the triumphant soldiers, and it was also the day when the eldest son of the crown prince was one month old.

In order to have a good start with double happiness, Emperor Mingxi deliberately combined the two into one palace banquet.

Early in the morning, Xia Miaoyuan was pulled out of the quilt by Li Ma.

Xia Miaoyuan sat on the bed blankly, hugging the equally sleepy little orange.

"Meow..." Little Orange called lazily, then raised his head and licked Xia Miaoyuan's face.

[Oh, being a princess is not a very comfortable life. ]

[I can't even sleep until I wake up naturally! ]

Xia Miaoyuan complained in her heart, and two little palace maids had already come forward to wash her face.

One thousand words are omitted here...

After dressing up, the queen took Xia Miaoyuan to sit on the phoenix sedan chair and went to Shanglin Garden.

Shanglin Garden was full of joy.

This palace banquet was different from the previous ones. There were many more handsome and upright men among the guests.

Because more than 20 generals who had made military achievements were invited.

Most of the more than 20 generals were young men under 30 years old.

As soon as Xia Miaoyuan arrived at Shanglin Garden, she felt the different atmosphere today.

[Oh my god, it's pleasing to the eyes! ]

She walked to the seat while looking at those young and handsome generals.

[These young generals, one by one, are so tall and mighty, their hormones are really overflowing! ]

[Tsk tsk tsk! 】

Originally, the second prince was a handsome man who caught people's eyes, but when he stood with these young generals, he was so inconspicuous.

[Oh, there are several handsome guys who make the second brother look better. 】

The queen held her daughter's hand, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face when she heard such bold words.

Queen: What do you mean by hormones? Are all the fairies in the sky so bold?

Soon, the mother and daughter came to the chief seat and sat upright.

Because there was a celebration banquet today, Emperor Mingxi came early on purpose. At this time, Emperor Mingxi and the prince had arrived for a long time, and were chatting with Xiao Tiehan, Bailihua and others.

Xia Miaoyuan sat high up with a broad vision, and she continued to look at those upright young generals.

[There are so many handsome men today, the ladies present are so lucky.]

Thinking of this, she looked around and searched for the ladies.

Soon, she found a few young ladies gathered in an inconspicuous corner, whispering something, and occasionally looking up at the young generals.

[Hahaha! As expected!]

[It seems that there are more ladies present today than in previous palace banquets.]

[It seems that someone heard the message and wants to take the opportunity to meet their ideal husband at the palace banquet.]

The queen listened to Xia Miaoyuan gossiping in her heart, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Oh my God, are all the fairies who have come down to earth so gossipy?

Xia Miaoyuan was thinking wildly in her mind. After gossiping about the noble lady, she suddenly thought of her second brother.

[Oh no, my second brother hasn't settled down yet. Will Daddy and Mommy take advantage of the palace banquet to pick a prince consort for him and then arrange a marriage for him on the spot? ]

[In the costume dramas I watched before, the emperor and empress loved to arrange marriages at palace banquets. ]

[Especially at a palace banquet with a suitable atmosphere, with a group of unmarried men and a group of unmarried girls. As experienced people, the emperor and empress are addicted to matchmaking and arranging marriages for others. ]

[Then, many unhappy marriages are born. ]

[Daddy and Mommy, please don't arrange marriages at the first sight! Don't arrange a marriage for my second brother, and don't arrange a marriage for young generals and noble ladies!】

The queen listened attentively to her daughter's voice, and after careful consideration, she found that it made sense.

If it weren't for her daughter's reminder, she would have really been addicted to matchmaking after seeing so many young talents and young ladies today.

At this time, a handsome figure, supporting a middle-aged woman with a big belly, walked over here.

"Tenth uncle! Tenth aunt!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted with joy.

Prince Jin and Princess Jin walked up to the queen and made a gesture to salute.

The queen was so panicked that she stood up quickly and tried to stop them: "Tenth sister-in-law, please don't be polite."

The queen took Princess Jin's arm and said concernedly: "Tenth sister-in-law, you are already pregnant, why are you here?"

"Didn't I send you a message telling you not to come and just rest in the mansion?"

Princess Jin raised her sallow face and said with a smile, "It's okay. The midwife said that I should walk around more before giving birth, which will be beneficial to the birth."

"Besides, today is a rare big day for our Great Xia in a hundred years, and it is also the full moon of the little grandson. How can I bear to miss it!"

"I just happened to bring the baby in my belly to witness this big day."

When the queen heard Princess Jin say this, she stopped complaining.

Xia Miaoyuan, however, looked at the King and his wife of Jin cunningly and complained in her heart.

[Huh! Mother doesn't know this. ]

[Today, the Tenth Princess came to the palace for a banquet, which was part of the plan of my father, elder brother and others. 】

【If the Tenth Princess doesn't come, the plan can't go ahead. 】

The Queen's heart skipped a beat. Plan!

She only knew that Princess Jin was poisoned a while ago, but she didn't know that Emperor Mingxi had planned something at the palace banquet.

For a moment, the Queen was full of doubts.
