Chapter 79 Chinese Valentine's Day

"Madam, why are you so happy?" the queen said as she pulled the curtain and entered the room.

"Just now, the little princess was so fascinated by the palace maids catching spiders that I told her about the spider catching game. The little princess seemed to understand and even clapped my hands." Madam Li was beaming with joy.

The queen looked at Xia Miaoyuan with amusement: "Does our Miao'er want to join in, too?"

She hugged Xia Miaoyuan into her arms and kissed her face affectionately.

"Miao'er is still young. When she grows up, she can join in the spider catching game, and she can also compete for cleverness, beg for dexterity, and go to the Xiangqiao Festival."

[Wow, was the Chinese Valentine's Day in ancient times so interesting? ]

[I want to join in now, I want to join in now! ]

Xia Miaoyuan excitedly waved her two little arms, trying to pronounce syllables, wanting to tell the queen that she wanted to join in, too.

The queen looked at her daughter's funny and cute appearance and tried hard to hold back her laughter.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is here to deliver Qixi cakes." Sang Qi reported.

The queen put Xia Miaoyuan on the couch and turned around and left the room.

[It's not fair, why don't you let me participate? You are discriminating against children.]

[This princess also wants to participate in the Happy Spider Yingqiao!]

Xia Miaoyuan protested fiercely in her heart.

She glanced at Nanny Li beside her, deliberately picked up the clay ball, put it at her feet, and kicked it hard. The clay ball was kicked to the ground and rolled out of the door.

"Wow...Wow..." Xia Miaoyuan immediately grinned and burst into tears, but there was not a single tear in her eyes.

"Mammy, I'll pick it up for the little princess now, don't cry, don't cry." Nanny Li hurriedly chased after her in small steps.

[Haha, I succeeded!]

Xia Miaoyuan smiled slyly, and used all her strength to push the two pillows on the couch to the ground.

Then she lay down, with her feet facing outward, and slid down to the ground little by little.

The moment her little feet touched the pillows, a smile immediately broke out on her little face.

[Yeah! Smooth landing! I knew that nothing could stop this princess.]

She crawled quickly on the ground and crawled out of the house in a few whooshes.

[Where is the spider, where is the spider, come out quickly, this princess is here to catch you.]

She searched and muttered in her heart.

[Ah, little spider, where are you running to!]

She finally saw a little spider in the corridor, and she swooped over, grabbed it with her chubby hand, and the spider was in her palm.

[Yeah yeah yeah! Got it! 】

【Halfway done, just find a small box to put it in. 】

"Oh, princess, how did you get out!" Nanny Li ran over in panic and picked up Xia Miaoyuan.

"What happened?!" The Queen's voice came.

She had just gone to the flower hall to greet Concubine Shu, and now she took Concubine Shu's snacks and was leading her to see the little princess.

"I just went to pick up the ball for the princess, but I didn't expect the princess to crawl out." Nanny Li lowered her head.

"Ah? You mean, the little princess just got off the couch and crawled out the door?" Concubine Shu looked at Xia Miaoyuan in disbelief.

"Miao'er, did you fall? I guess you just fell off the couch by yourself?" The Queen walked into the inner room holding Xia Miaoyuan, touching her little head with concern.

"Hahaha, sister knows, sister, look at the ground..." Concubine Shu was usually a quiet person, but at this moment, she pointed at the two pillows on the ground and couldn't help laughing.

Everyone looked at the two pillows stacked on the ground at the same time, and suddenly realized.

The Queen couldn't help laughing: "Why is this child so naughty!"

"No, no, no, not naughty, but smart!" Concubine Shu laughed.

Li Ma came forward with a wet towel and wiped Xia Miaoyuan's hands: "Hey, why is the little princess's right hand tightly clenched and won't let go?"

[No, no, let go and the spider will run away.]

"Miao'er, be good, show your mother, what's in your hand?" The Queen asked softly.

[It's a spider, the little spider that this princess just caught, look...]

Xia Miaoyuan muttered in her heart, stretched out her little hand in front of the Queen, suddenly loosened it, and quickly closed it again.

At the moment of letting go, the queen caught a glimpse of a small spider.

"Madame Li, go ask the palace maids for a box for the spider." The queen said this with all her might, and immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

"What's wrong, sister, what did you see?" Concubine Shu came over curiously. It was not

until Madame Li brought the small box that Xia Miaoyuan opened her little hands and put the spider in.

Concubine Shu was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: "The princess, she actually caught a spider!"

The queen told Concubine Shu the whole story of Yingqiao, the spider that Madame Li had told Xia Miaoyuan in the morning, and Concubine Shu also covered her mouth and laughed.

"Miao'er, since you want to participate so much, then your mother will support you." The queen said, and placed Xia Miaoyuan's spider box upright on the treasure pavilion.

"The little princess is so smart at such a young age. She will be amazing when she grows up." Concubine Shu sighed.

"Your son greets the queen mother! Meet Concubine Shu!"

The prince walked in while the queen and Concubine Shu were chatting and laughing.

"Your son just came over after the court session." The prince said.

"Chengwan, you have been busy these days. Since you came back from studying abroad, you have been busy with government affairs." The queen looked at her son with heartache. "

Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. Why don't you go out and have fun and relax?"

"It's a festival for girls. Why should I go out?" The prince lowered his eyes, and a barely perceptible shyness appeared on his face. "

Who said that only girls can go out to play on the Chinese Valentine's Day?" Concubine Shu said.

"Does your prince have a favorite girl? The Chinese Valentine's Day is the best time to express your feelings to the girl you like." Concubine Shu smiled with gossip.

"I'm so old now, and Concubine Shu still teases me!" The prince lowered his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shufei is Xia Zhengqi's earliest concubine. She has watched the prince grow up for so many years, so she is very familiar with the prince and does not have too many scruples when talking to him.

"Shufei is right. At your age, it is most suitable for you to go out and play on the Qixi Festival." The queen suppressed her smile and said slowly.

[Why are you still double-standard. The prince doesn't want to go, but you persuade him. I dream of going, but my mother won't allow it.]

Xia Miaoyuan pouted in anger.

"Go, go, and take the third prince and the fifth prince to worship Kuixing. Your two younger brothers have never been good at studying. Going to worship Kuixing may open their minds." Shufei smiled. "

Okay, then I will take them to worship Kuixing." The prince said seriously.

"Let me make it clear first. I am not going out to see the young lady, but to worship Kuixing."

Concubine Shu and the Queen both suppressed their laughter and nodded in agreement.

[Ah! Prince, take me with you! ]

[Brother, take me with you! ]

When Xia Miaoyuan heard that the prince agreed to go, he immediately used his hands and feet to crawl towards the prince.

His two chubby hands tightly held the prince's robe.
