Chapter 424 Why are you so nice to me?
The second prince looked down at his sister awkwardly and whispered, "Miao'er, eat slowly, this is a palace banquet."
"Oh!" Xia Miaoyuan suddenly remembered that this was not in her own palace, and shook her head a little embarrassedly.
[Alas, ever since I turned into a child, I can't help myself when I see delicious food, hehe.]
At this time, the princes and ministers all stood up with wine glasses in their hands. Xia Miaoyuan quickly leaned over to see that it was the little emperor Yue Haoming who stood up to speak!
"Welcome to the envoys of Daxia who have come from afar! I toast you a glass." Yue Haoming finished speaking, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The second prince and Han Qingbo hurriedly opened their mouths to thank him, and also tilted their necks and drank up the wine in the glass.
Immediately afterwards, the princes and ministers also stood up to speak and toast.
The hall was filled with insincere and polite voices.
When the palace banquet lasted for nearly an hour, the guests in the hall were already tipsy, and some of those who were not good at drinking began to stagger.
Xia Miaoyuan resisted the urge to eat like crazy and sat obediently.
[Oh, it's so uncomfortable, I might as well not come.]
[If I stay in the prince's mansion, maybe my aunt will send me some delicious food.]
Because it was too boring, Xia Miaoyuan searched for the figure of Lord Liang among the many guests.
[Where is he?]
At this moment, a bright yellow appeared in front of her.
"Are you Miaoyuan?" A young man's voice came into Xia Miaoyuan's ears.
She looked up and saw that it was Yue Haoming.
"Your Majesty, my name is Xia Miaoyuan!" Xia Miaoyuan stood up and bowed.
"What a nice name!" Yue Haoming smiled.
"Are you tired of sitting here? The palace banquet is boring and it is really hard for children. Can I take you outside the palace to get some fresh air?"
Yue Haoming's tone was very gentle. If he was not wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he would look like an amiable neighbor brother.
[Wow, the little emperor invited me to go out for a walk? What does this mean? Do you think I am cute?] Xia Miaoyuan was a little confused for a moment.
She glanced at the second prince in confusion, as if asking for her brother's opinion.
Seeing that Yue Haoming had friendly eyes and a natural expression, the second prince thought that he had no bad intentions, so he nodded slightly to Xia Miaoyuan.
Xia Miaoyuan said respectfully, "Okay."
Yue Haoming took Xia Miaoyuan out of the side door of the hall.
The second prince winked at Sang Qi again, indicating that she should protect Xia Miaoyuan secretly.
Yue Haoming took Xia Miaoyuan to the east side
of the main hall. To the east of Liuxian Hall was an elegant little garden. There were tables and chairs in the garden.
"Do you like it here? Is it much better than the palace banquet?" Yue Haoming asked gently.
Xia Miaoyuan looked around and said, "It's quite nice. It's also cleaner than the palace banquet."
Yue Haoming smiled even more brilliantly. He asked the people below to sit at the table and said, "I saw that you didn't eat much at the palace banquet. Take a look at these. Is there anything you like?"
"These are all prepared by me."
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the table and saw that it was indeed filled with fruits and snacks, which were richer than those at the palace banquet.
Instantly, Xia Miaoyuan was overjoyed in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.
She curled her lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You don't have to be so polite, just eat, eat more, eat whatever you like."
Although Xia Miaoyuan was ecstatic, she still couldn't figure out Yue Haoming's intention, so she just picked up a piece of snack and ate it slowly.
[I don't know what this little emperor is thinking. Why is he so nice to me the first time he saw me! ]
[He's not going to do anything weird, is he? ]
[That shouldn't be the case. I remember the book said that he is simple-minded and his IQ is a little low. With a brain like that, he shouldn't be able to do anything weird, right? ]
[Could it be that he fell in love with me at first sight? He doesn't want to marry me, does he? ! ]
[No, no, I don't want to be a princess married to a foreign country! ]
[Ah, that's not the case! He is fifteen this year and I am only four years old. He won't do that, will he? 】
【How can a teenage boy be interested in a kindergarten girl? 】
Xia Miaoyuan became more and more confused as he thought about it, slowly nibbling the snack in his hand.
At this time, Yue Haoming's voice rang again: "Miaoyuan, are you a little afraid of me?"
"Actually, you can think of me as your brother. You don't have to be afraid of me."
"When I saw you for the first time today, I thought of my sister."
"You really look like her."
"She is my only sister. She also likes to wear bright red clothes and is naughty like a monkey."
【So that's it! 】
After hearing Yue Haoming say this, Xia Miaoyuan's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
Xia Miaoyuan's eyes flashed, and she said in a baby voice: "Can you invite her over? We can have some delicious snacks together."
Xia Miaoyuan actually wanted to find out about the little princess, but in order to appear more like an ordinary four-year-old girl, she deliberately asked this question.
Yue Haoming's voice was a little hoarse: "She's gone."
"When she was four years old, she fell into the lake and drowned."
[Ahhh! ]
Hearing this answer, Xia Miaoyuan's heart was instantly filled with regret and self-blame.
[What have I thought of? Really. I just miss my sister! ]
Xia Miaoyuan regretted for a long time, and when she looked up at Yue Haoming again, she found that he was wiping his tears.
"Don't cry, Your Majesty. She is so cute. Even if she dies young, she will fly to the sky and become a fairy."
Yue Haoming burst into laughter after hearing this childish comfort.
At this moment, a sound came from the bushes nearby, as if someone had slipped.
"Who's there!" Yue Haoming shouted.
Several eunuchs immediately stepped forward to check.
"Your Majesty, it's me!" A male voice came.
A tall figure walked out from the bushes.
Yue Haoming's frown instantly relaxed: "Master Liang, why are you here?"
Xia Miaoyuan's heart tightened when he heard Yue Haoming calling Master Liang. [Wow, it's that Lord Liang!]
Lord Liang's voice came: "Your Majesty, it's really rude. I just had to pee, so I slipped over here."
As he spoke, he had already walked to the table where Yue Haoming and his friends were.
Yue Haoming laughed and said, "It's okay. People have three urgent needs."
[What urgent need? You didn't see the little emperor bringing me here, so you deliberately hid and eavesdropped? 】Xia Miaoyuan glanced at Lord Liang and complained in her heart.
"Miaoyuan, this is my teacher, Lord Liang." Yue Haoming introduced to Xia Miaoyuan.
"Master Liang, this is Princess Anguo of Daxia." Then he introduced to Lord Liang.
Lord Liang bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Xia Miaoyuan stared at Lord Liang's lowered face, and an idea came to her mind. [It's just an opportunity! 】
She stood up suddenly and said, "Lord Liang, please don't be polite!"
Then, Xia Miaoyuan slipped and fell towards Lord Liang.
