Chapter 589 The Little Princess Who Depends on the Imperial Concubine in the World of Palace Fightin
It was still dark, but the Yongshou Palace was already brightly lit.
When Miaomiao was dug out of the quilt by Xia Yingying, she was still in a daze.
The little cub closed its eyes and nodded its little head like a kitten that hadn't woken up yet, allowing Xia Yingying and the palace maids to play with it.
"Raise your hand." Xia Yingying said softly.
Miaomiao obediently raised her arms and asked her mother to put on her new crimson skirt embroidered with gold. The hem of the skirt was embellished with tiny pearls, which made a crisp clinking sound when she walked, like the singing of stars.
"Lower your head."
A furry little head drooped down, and Xia Yingying personally put on a small phoenix crown with gold thread and beads for her. The pearl tassels on the crown hung down in front of her forehead, making her little face even more delicate and lovely.
It was not until Nanny Song brought a bowl of sweet almond tea that Miaomiao finally woke up.
She blinked her big eyes, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and was struck by her own cuteness.
"Wow! Is this Miaomiao?"
The little princess in the mirror has bright eyes, white teeth, and a delicate figure, just like a lucky doll that walked out of a New Year picture.
Xia Yingying pinched her daughter's cheek with satisfaction: "Today is our Miaomiao's birthday girl, she must be the most beautiful little princess."
The birthday party was held in the Imperial Garden. In order to give Miaomiao the best experience, the venue was decorated with utmost luxury.
Crystal palace lanterns hung on the flower trees, illuminating the entire imperial garden like daylight; the long brocade-covered table was filled with exquisite snacks, and the golden plates and jade cups sparkled in the sun; even the treetops were tied with colorful ribbons, which fluttered in the wind like flowing rainbows.
All the guests present were amazed that the imperial concubine would go to so much trouble for a little princess’ birthday!
"Princess Anle has arrived—"
Following the eunuch's announcement, everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance.
Miaomiao walked in shyly, holding Xia Yingying's hand. She was particularly beautiful today, with a pair of big eyes twinkling and cheeks as rosy as a ripe peach.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, greetings to Princess Anle." Everyone saluted in unison.
Xia Yingying nodded slightly, lowered her head and said to Miaomiao: "Go, you are the young master today."
Miaomiao took a deep breath, straightened her body, and said in a baby voice, "Everyone, please don't be polite. Have fun!"
The childish voice made everyone present laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
"Miao Miao!"
Xia Rulan was the first to run over, followed by a slightly nervous Xiao Jingheng. Both of them were wearing formal attire today, one was charming and charming, the other handsome and tall.
"Cousin! Brother Crown Prince!" Miaomiao greeted her happily, the pearls on her little skirt jingling.
Xiao Jingheng blushed and handed over an exquisite sandalwood box: "Sister Miaomiao, happy birthday."
In the box was a pair of jade bell bracelets. The jade was transparent and the carvings were fine. A slight shake would make a crisp and pleasant sound.
"Put this on and I'll be able to find you no matter where you are," the boy explained in a low voice.
Xia Rulan's gift was a set of exquisite rag dolls, each doll was wearing a dress of a different color and looked lifelike.
"This is made by my cousin!" she said proudly. "If Miaomiao wants to play house in the future, just come to me!"
Miaomiao was so moved that her eyes turned red. She held the box in one hand and the doll in the other, rubbing her little face against them. "Thank you! Miaomiao loves it!"
"Let's go open other presents!" She pulled one gift in each hand and ran excitedly towards the pile of gifts.
Three children squatted in front of the mountain of gifts, opening various gifts as if they were treasure hunting.
"Wow! This Jade Rabbit Lantern can spin on its own!"
"Look! A tangram puzzle sent as tribute from the Western Regions!"
"This nine-link chain is so beautiful!"
The cheerful laughter echoed in the imperial garden, and even the birds in the trees couldn't help chirping along.
Behind the rockery in the distance, the fifth prince watched all this coldly.
"Laugh, laugh as much as you want..." He stroked the small porcelain bottle in his sleeve, a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, "We'll see if you can still laugh later."
