Chapter 417 Maid

Helishen bowed to Yue Haoyun and said, "Your Highness, you must not do that. We in Dayue have never had such a rule."

Yue Haoyun said coldly, "Didn't you see how Princess Anguo was crying? If you don't let her live in the palace, where should she live?"

Helishen's face froze and he was speechless for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Helishen said, "We have to ask the emperor for instructions on this matter. I will go to the palace to ask for instructions first."

The second prince glanced at Helishen and said, "Okay, then you go and ask for instructions as soon as possible. The little prince's sister can't wait too long."

Helishen responded and hurried to the palace.

...

Dayue Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhu Ling raised her eyebrows: "He Lishen, I asked you to show them a lesson, how did you end up like this?!"

"You actually offended their little princess, and now they are clamoring to move into the Grand Prince's mansion! What do you want me to say to you?"

He Lishen: I did as you said and showed them a lesson. Now that something bad has happened, you blame me?

Zhu Ling looked at Han Lie on the side: "Lord Han, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Han Lie stroked his chin and said: "As far as I know, this Princess Anguo is indeed the apple of the eye of the Emperor of Daxia. Sometimes the Emperor of Daxia will bring her with him when he goes to court or handles official business in the study."

"I heard that the Emperor of Daxia has been waiting for nearly twenty years to get this daughter, and he loves her like the apple of his eye. No matter what Princess Anguo does, he will agree to it."

"So, if you make Princess Anguo unhappy, the consequences are really hard to say. If things go wrong, the Emperor of Daxia will be furious."

Zhu Ling frowned: "In that case, we can only follow the wishes of that little girl and let them live in the palace?"

Han Lie smiled embarrassedly and said nothing, expressing affirmation with silence.

At this time, a young man's voice rang out: "Mother, what are you afraid of? They are just living in the palace. Just let them stay. Yue Haoyun is seriously injured anyway, and he won't be able to jump around for a few days."

"Could it be that you are afraid that he will take the opportunity to collude with the Daxia delegation and cause trouble?"

The person who spoke was the young emperor of Dayue, Yue Haoming.

Yue Haoming was only fifteen years old this year and had not yet taken power.

Zhu Ling was silent for a moment, then said to He Lishen, "You were with the prince today, how did you feel about his injuries?"

He Lishen replied while recalling, "Today, the prince seemed to be pretending to be in good health."

"He walked in from the gate of the official post station today, and he didn't even have the strength to walk. He had to ride on a sedan chair. Moreover, he obviously lacked strength to speak."

After hearing this, Han Lie bowed to Zhu Ling and said, "Haha, it seems that the prince is really seriously injured. Congratulations to the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"

After hearing this, Zhu Ling and the little emperor couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhu Ling covered her face and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, let's just follow them. The Ai family wants to see how long Yue Haoyun can last."

After that, she said to the maid next to her: "Go tell Min to monitor every move of the great prince."

...

On the other side, after receiving the permission of the young emperor, the delegation followed Yue Haoyun to the palace.

Of the 1,000 imperial guardsmen who accompanied him, only fifty were left to follow him, and the rest were placed outside the city.

When he arrived at the palace, Xia Miaoyuan was in a good mood. She rode on the tall and strong Maomao and walked into the palace with her head held high.

Now Maomao is an adult deer, with two thick and beautiful antlers. Due to proper feeding, his fur is shiny, his muscles are tight, and his four legs are slender and solid.

Maomao was holding the delicate and graceful Xia Miaoyuan, and every step she took was elegant and strong. From a distance, she looked like she had walked out of a painting.

This scene attracted praises from the people in the palace.

Yue Haoyun adhered to the principle of doing a full set of plays. He still sat on the sedan chair when he returned to his home, and asked the sedan chair bearer to carry him all the way to the main courtyard before getting off. When

the eldest princess Min met her husband, she first expressed her concerns with deep affection, and then fulfilled her duties as the hostess of the palace to entertain the guests.

"I didn't know that the envoys of your country would stay here. The guest rooms in the palace were prepared temporarily, so they are not enough. I hope you will be more patient." Min behaved properly and spoke gently.

Everyone was taken to the guest rooms one by one.

Min gave instructions to the delegation again before leaving.

Xia Miaoyuan and the second prince were arranged to stay in a large empty courtyard.

Xia Miaoyuan held Xiaojuzi in his arms and rode Maomao, inspecting the courtyard like a general.

"Yeah, not bad, not bad, much better than the official post."

When the inspection was almost over, Li Ma and Xing'er also prepared the bath water.

The two of them grabbed Xia Miaoyuan and coaxed her with kind words. Finally, they washed her clean and changed her into clean clothes.

Xia Miaoyuan felt refreshed and lay on the soft couch, stroking Xiaojuzi's fur.

At this time, the pearl curtain rang, and a gentle female voice came over: "Your Highness, the servants are here to serve dinner!"

Then, an older maid lifted the curtain and walked in, followed by six or seven younger maids, each carrying a tray.

Everyone bowed slightly to Xia Miaoyuan, and then the food was served on the table in an orderly manner.

The older maid stood beside the couch with her hands down and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I am a maid in the kitchen of the palace. I heard that you are a distinguished guest from Daxia. I am afraid that you are not used to the food of Dayue, so I specially made some Daxia dishes."

"Try it and see if it is delicious. If you are not satisfied with it, just tell me."

The maid's voice was very pleasant, and Xia Miaoyuan was fascinated by it.

[This voice is so comfortable.]

At this time, the maid said: "If Your Highness has no other instructions, we will take our leave."

Xia Miaoyuan was startled, as if she suddenly thought of something, [No, this voice is so familiar!]

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan sat up suddenly and looked at the maid's face. This look was not a big deal, but she was directly scared.

Just as her emotions were surging, the maids had already left.

Xia Miaoyuan sat on the couch in a daze, as if struck by lightning.

"Young prince, what's wrong with you?" Nanny Li asked in confusion.

Xia Miaoyuan was fine just now, why did he suddenly become abnormal?

"Nanny Li!" Xia Miaoyuan grabbed Nanny Li's hand and stared at her.

"Did you notice the leading maid just now?"

Nanny Li murmured, "Not really. I was just looking at the dishes on the table."

Nanny Li asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that maid?"

Xia Miaoyuan's eyes turned red with excitement, "Listen to her voice, does it sound like one person?"

"Look at her appearance, does it look like one person?"
