Chapter 460 Quietly leaving the table
After she calmed down, her thoughts became clear.
[No! Zhu Ling's eyes can be seen. These two people are definitely not pure! ]
[Ahhh! Could it be that the young Queen Mother of Daiyue is in love with the handsome imperial tutor? ! ]
[And, this so-called imperial tutor is 99.999% Liang Chaozong! ]
[Oh my god, this is a big deal. Liang Chaozong, the crown prince of the fallen Liang Dynasty, is willing to be the concubine of the young Queen Mother! ]
The second prince knelt beside Xia Miaoyuan and listened to her words without missing a word.
At this moment, his heart was also full of complicated emotions.
Before the brother and sister calmed down, the little emperor and the queen mother had already sat down.
The young emperor's clear voice came, "Stand up!"
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan looked at the imperial teacher again, only to see that he was arranged to sit at the table closest to Zhu Ling.
[So blatant? Dare to sit so close at the palace banquet? ! This Zhu Ling is really crazy. ]
Just when Xia Miaoyuan was desperately complaining, she suddenly caught a trace of resentment.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Prime Minister Han Lie, who was looking at the imperial teacher steadily, with a cold light in his eyes.
[Oh, old man Han Lie's eyes are so scary! ]
Just when Xia Miaoyuan was thinking wildly, the palace banquet officially began.
The young emperor and the empress dowager took turns to speak, and the princes and ministers congratulated the young emperor one by one and presented birthday gifts.
Xia Miaoyuan only felt that these parts were very boring, and he didn't want to watch them at all.
He didn't want to watch them, but he couldn't leave the table. Xia Miaoyuan had to sit patiently in his seat, his mind was full of wild thoughts, while he grabbed the snacks on the plate with his chubby little hands and nibbled them.
It was not easy to wait until the birthday celebration was over, the singing and dancing continued, the palace banquet continued, and the guests began to toast each other and start the business promotion mode.
Soon, the hall was immersed in a lively and relaxed atmosphere.
The princes and ministers sat together in groups of three or four, or stood together, chatting and drinking.
"Second Prince, I heard that agriculture in Daxia is developing very fast now!"
"Second Prince, I heard that there are many more varieties of delicacies in the capital of Daxia now!"
Some ministers also walked up to the second prince, raised their wine glasses, and talked to him.
When the second prince was in Daxia before, he was dismissive of these useless and hypocritical compliments.
However, this is a different time. As an envoy of Daxia, he can no longer act arbitrarily. He can only learn from those people and chat in a fake manner.
After more than half an hour, the guests in the hall had already drunk a lot of wine and were a little drunk.
The palace banquet scene fell into a more arbitrary and relaxed atmosphere.
Several officials who were drunk went on stage and started dancing with the dancers.
At this time, the second prince glanced back quickly without making a sound. At
this glance, he happened to see his follower "Nongmei" standing respectfully behind him.
He lowered his hand and made a gesture to Nongmei, indicating that he could start to move.
Nongmei turned around and naturally retreated to the outside of the hall.
The palace banquet was already halfway through, and both the host and the guests had drunk a lot and were much more relaxed.
Therefore, no one noticed the second prince's little movements and Nongmei's behavior.
However, this scene could not escape Xia Miaoyuan's eyes.
[What is Yue Haoyun trying to do? ] Xia Miaoyuan was puzzled.
At this moment, a bright yellow figure walked up to Xia Miaoyuan.
The bright yellow figure squatted down and whispered to her, "It's really boring here, let's go!"
Xia Miaoyuan saw clearly that the person who came was the little emperor of Dai Viet.
Before she could get up, the little emperor had already pulled her hand and pulled her up.
Seeing this, the second prince gave Sang Qi a look, and Sang Qi followed them.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Xia Miaoyuan asked in a milky voice after leaving the palace.
"To an interesting place!" The little emperor answered gently.
Yue Haoming took Xia Miaoyuan's little hand and walked all the way. After turning around, they came to the edge of a lake.
This lake is a lake in the Dai Viet Palace. Although it is not big, the scenery is good.
There are green grasses and some orchids planted by the lake. On the lake, the blue waves are rippling, and patches of lotus are blooming luxuriantly, and the green lotus leaves are connected into one. Through the gaps between the lotus leaves, you can see fish swimming happily.
This place is still some distance away from the place where the palace banquet is held. You can faintly hear some faint sounds of bamboo, which are mixed with the crisp frogs and crickets by the lake, creating a unique atmosphere.
"Miao'er, look, this is where I want to take you!" said the little emperor.
Xia Miaoyuan looked around carefully and said happily, "It's really a place with beautiful scenery!"
The little emperor smiled with satisfaction and pulled her to the pavilion by the lake.
The pavilion is not big, with a stone table in the middle and stone benches next to the stone table.
Xia Miaoyuan picked a stone bench and sat on it. Only then did she realize that snacks, fruits, and tea had already been placed on the stone table.
It seems that this time, the little emperor had thought about it a long time ago.
"Miaoyuan, I specially asked someone to prepare these for you. I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared some for you according to the tastes that most children like. I don't know if you like it." The little emperor said in a gentle voice, picked up a piece of crystal clear cake and put it on Xia Miaoyuan's small plate.
"Try this first. This is the specialty of my Dayue. The craftsmanship is very complicated. It is not even available at the palace banquet today."
Xia Miaoyuan picked up the cake, looked at it carefully, scooped a mouthful, and his eyes narrowed immediately.
"Well, delicious, delicious, very delicious!" Xia Miaoyuan said vaguely.
The little emperor smiled happily, "I'm glad you like it. Come, drink some tea to moisten it." As he said, he personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Xia Miaoyuan.
After a few bites, the cake was gone. Xia Miaoyuan rubbed her fingers and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so good to Miao'er?"
The little emperor looked at Xia Miaoyuan lovingly and said softly, "Miaoyuan, do you know? You really look like my sister."
Those clear and pure eyes reminded Xia Miaoyuan of her brothers.
The brothers in the Great Xia Palace, whether they were brothers from the same mother or half mother, were very good to her. When they looked at her, they had the same expression.
So, she chose to believe the little emperor's words.
"Then you must love this sister very much?" Xia Miaoyuan asked with her big eyes blinking.
The little emperor nodded, "Yes, I have only had this one sister since I was a child, and I really love her very much."
Speaking of this, the little emperor's eyes suddenly dimmed, "If she were still alive, she would be twelve years old this year."
Xia Miaoyuan observed the little emperor's expression and saw that there was a story hidden in his eyes. It was obvious that he wanted to find someone to confide in, so he said with a tactful look: "Then Your Majesty, can you tell me about her?"
