Quick Travel, Miao Miao’s Villain Cannon Fodder Rescue Plan

Chapter 580 The Little Princess Who Depends on the Imperial Concubine in the World of Palace Fightin

Madam Xia took out an exquisite brocade box from her sleeve. When she opened it, she found a longevity lock made of pure gold. The lock was inlaid with seven gems, sparkling and dazzling.

"This is a gift from your grandmother." She put it on Miaomiao herself and said softly, "May our Miaomiao live a long and happy life."

The longevity lock is very heavy, and when worn around the neck, it puts pressure on the little one.

Miaomiao looked down at the glittering longevity lock on her chest, then suddenly threw herself into Madam Xia's arms and rubbed her head against it: "Thank you, Grandma! Miaomiao loves it!"

Mrs. Xia was so touched by this unexpected hug that her heart melted. She patted Miaomiao's back gently and said, "Good child..."

Xia Mingjin was not to be outdone and took out a wooden rabbit from his arms: "This was carved by my uncle himself. Do you like it?"

Miaomiao took the wooden sculpture and touched it lovingly: "I like it! The little rabbit is so cute!"

Xia Yingying watched this scene with a warm heart. Once upon a time, she thought she would never experience such family happiness in her life.

She was extremely grateful that she adopted Miaomiao.

"Mingjin, you and Miaomiao go out and play. I'll chat with mom."

Xia Yingying sent the two children away and took Madam Xia's hand into the inner hall. The mother and daughter had a rare opportunity to talk to each other in private.

"Mother, how are father and brothers?" Xia Yingying personally poured tea for Mrs. Xia, her eyes full of concern.

Madam Xia smiled and nodded. "Everything is fine. Your father was talking about you a few days ago, saying that now that you have Miaomiao, you finally have someone to keep you company."

When mentioning Miaomiao, Xia Yingying's expression softened: "That child... is indeed pitiful."

Madam Xia patted her daughter's hand and said softly, "Yingying, I can see that you really like that child."

Xia Yingying lowered her eyes, but the corners of her lips lifted slightly: "She... is very well behaved."

In the Imperial Garden.

The two people who were sent away by the imperial concubine ran to the imperial garden to play hide-and-seek.

Miaomiao was the one who was looking for him. The little girl covered her eyes obediently, pressed her little face against the rockery, and counted in a baby voice: "One, two, three... ten! Is uncle hidden?"

Xia Mingjin hid behind a bush in the distance, suppressing her laughter: "I'm hiding!"

The little dumpling immediately spread out his short legs and ran around the garden excitedly, looking around here and there, like a lively little rabbit.

"Uncle—where are you?" She picked at the bushes, poking her little head back and forth.

Suddenly, she turned around and didn't notice there was someone behind her, so she bumped into him with a "bang"!

"Ouch!" Miaomiao sat down on the ground with her butt, her little head was dizzy. It was obviously her butt that hurt, but she subconsciously hugged her head, "It hurts, it hurts..."

It's really fun to cover the area where it doesn't hurt.

A hearty laugh came from overhead.

Miaomiao looked up and saw a tall man in a bright yellow dragon robe leaning over her, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

Isn't this the emperor?

"Father, how can you laugh at me?"

The little fat boy felt as if he was being laughed at, puffing up his cheeks and looking a little unhappy.

"Okay, Father, stop laughing." The emperor suppressed his laughter, raised his eyebrows, and asked:

"Why are you running in such a hurry?"

Miaomiao blinked, quickly got up, and patted the dust off her skirt with her little hands. Then she grabbed the emperor's sleeve and hurriedly said, "Father, keep your voice down! Miaomiao is playing hide-and-seek! It will be terrible if my uncle hears us!"

The emperor was stunned, and then he was amused by her nervous look.

He squatted down and lowered his voice cooperatively: "Okay, Father, keep your voice down."

Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction and took his hand: "Father, come and help Miaomiao find her uncle!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and actually let the little guy drag him and "search" stealthily in the imperial garden.

Xia Mingjin, hiding behind the flowers, saw this scene from afar and almost dropped his jaw in shock—that was the emperor?! The emperor was actually playing hide-and-seek with Miaomiao?!

He was hesitating whether to show up, but he saw Miaomiao dragging the emperor towards him.

The little girl hunched over with a serious face, as if saying "I'm looking for someone very seriously", and the emperor actually imitated her, following her on tiptoe, with a smile in his eyes.

Xia Mingjin: "..."

Your Majesty, you are already old and it is not suitable for you to act cute anymore, do you know that?

He silently stood up from behind the flowers and knelt respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Miaomiao cried out "Ah", her face falling: "Oh, why did you come out on your own initiative!"

The emperor laughed heartily and rubbed her little head: "It seems that our Miaomiao's skills in catching people still need to be improved."

Xia Mingjin lowered his head, not daring to breathe. The emperor glanced at him and casually asked, "How is General Xia's health lately?"

"Your Majesty, my father is doing well. Thank you for your concern." Xia Mingjin replied respectfully.

The emperor nodded, without asking any more questions, he simply bent down and picked up Miaomiao: "Come, accompany your father to the study and sit for a while."

Miaomiao hugged the emperor's neck, turned around and waved to Xia Mingjin: "Goodbye, uncle! Miaomiao will come and play with you later!"

Xia Mingjin watched the emperor leave with Miaomiao in his arms, then he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

In the imperial study room.

As soon as Miaomiao entered the room, she was attracted by the novelties in the room.

"Father, what is this?" She stood on tiptoe to reach the white jade paperweight on the desk.

"Don't touch that, or you might drop it." The emperor quickly took the paperweight away and handed her a sachet. "Play with this."

This sachet was given to him by the concubines in the palace, but he has never used it.

Miaomiao held the sachet in her hands, turning it over and over curiously, and even sniffed it with her little nose: "It smells so good!"

The emperor looked at her innocent look and couldn't help laughing again. He usually hated being interrupted when reviewing memorials, but he didn't find this little girl running around in the study annoying at all.

"Father, can this be opened?" Miaomiao pointed to a carved wooden box.

"can."

"Father, the bird in this painting is so beautiful!"

"That's a crane."

"Father, Father..."

Nanny Song stood aside, watching the little princess flying around in the imperial study like a happy little butterfly, and was secretly amazed at the emperor's patience in responding to her one by one.

Miaomiao was tired from playing, so she climbed onto the emperor's lap and sat down. She rested her little head on his chest and yawned, "Father, Miaomiao is sleepy..."

The emperor looked down at the defenseless little ball in his arms, and his heart softened inexplicably.

He patted her back gently: "Go to sleep, father is here."
