Chapter 590 The Little Princess Who Depends on the Imperial Concubine in the World of Palace Fightin

At the banquet in the Imperial Garden, there was constant drinking and laughter.

Miaomiao sat in Xia Yingying's arms, her small hands holding chopsticks, trying to pick up a piece of crystal clear shrimp dumpling. Although her movements were still a little clumsy, she had improved a lot compared to before.

"Look, mom! Miaomiao picked it up!" The little dumpling proudly held up the trophy, his eyes shining.

Xia Yingying smiled and kissed the top of her head: "That's great."

Below the stage, General Xia stared intently at his granddaughter, then excitedly tugged at Madam Xia's sleeve. "Look, Madam! Our granddaughter can use chopsticks now! How clever!"

Madam Xia helplessly slapped his hand away: "Keep your voice down! Don't lean over and scare the child."

"I'm just happy!" General Xia puffed his beard and glared, "I'm in good health, I won't be as stubborn as you say!"

On the stage, Miaomiao was completely oblivious to the excitement of her grandfather, whom she had never met before. She was concentrating on the delicious food in front of her, her little mouth full of greasy food.

In the corner of the imperial kitchen, while everyone was busy, a young eunuch sneaked in and quickly sprinkled a packet of powder into the eight-treasure duck that was about to be served.

At the banquet, the Eight Treasure Duck was served to Miaomiao.

"Young master, this is the newly served Eight Treasure Duck." The palace maid respectfully placed the dish on the table.

Miaomiao was about to pick up her chopsticks, but she didn't notice that there was a venomous gaze staring at her from the audience.

Xiao Yan's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

Eat...eat quickly...

Just as Miaomiao's chopsticks were about to touch the duck meat, a young eunuch hurried over to Xiao Qingzi and whispered something in his ear. Xiao Qingzi remained expressionless, only nodding slightly.

Xiao Yan watched Miaomiao put the piece of duck meat into her mouth, and even narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

It worked!

He laughed wildly in his heart, and couldn't wait to see the death from the poison.

Rongpin paced back and forth in the room, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"Why is there still no news?" she muttered anxiously, "That poison is fatal on contact with blood..."

She really wanted to see Xia Yingying lose her composure.

As the sky darkened, the expected bad news never came.

The next morning, Rongpin waited for Xiao Yan to come to Jingxin Garden with a gloomy face.

"What's going on?!" Rongpin grabbed her son's shoulders, "Why is that little bitch still alive?"

She had already thought about how she would ridicule Xia Yingying and make her miserable when the news came, but what about now?!

That kid is actually still fine?

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I saw her eat it with my own eyes! There is absolutely no problem with the poison!"

"Could it be that someone..." Rongpin's face suddenly changed. Just as she was about to say something, the eunuch's shrill voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

The mother and son turned around in shock, only to see Li Dequan standing in the yard with a team of imperial guards. The bright yellow imperial edict in his hand hurt their eyes.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Concubine Rong and her son colluded with the eunuchs in the Imperial Kitchen to poison and murder the Crown Prince. The evidence is irrefutable. Effective immediately, they are demoted to commoners and banished to the Cold Palace! This is my decree!"

Concubine Rong—no, she should be called Rong now. She sat slumped on the ground, her face ashen.

Xiao Yan looked up suddenly: "Impossible! That poison clearly..."

Li Dequan sneered, "The Queen had already replaced the poisoned dish. You only harmed a dog that was testing the food."

In Yongshou Palace, Miaomiao was completely unaware of the thrill of last night and was happily fiddling with the gifts she had received.

Xia Yingying looked at the little girl with a smile. She did not mention what happened yesterday to Miaomiao. Her little princess only needed to do what she wanted and be happy every day.

Naturally, it was her, as the mother, who had to do all these dirty and scheming things.

Thinking of Rong's, Xia Yingying's eyes darkened.

She turned to Xiao Qingzi beside her and praised: "You did a good job this time."

Xiao Qingzi lowered his head and did not take any credit: "Protecting the little princess is my duty. I am just doing my duty."

He was always calm and composed, never getting upset, and only when his eyes fell on Miaomiao would he soften a little.

"That's a reward..." Xia Yingying seemed to be lost in thought. Just as she was about to continue speaking, Miaomiao suddenly ran over and threw herself into her arms, interrupting her: "Mommy, mommy! Can Miaomiao still have her birthday tomorrow?"

"It's so fun to have a birthday. Miaomiao wants to have a birthday every day." The little guy tilted his chubby face up innocently, his big round eyes full of anticipation.

It’s great to be able to eat delicious food and receive lots of gifts on your birthday.

It would be great if every day was a birthday.

Xia Yingying laughed and pinched her nose with her delicate fingers: "No, birthdays only come once a year."

Hearing this, the little guy still wanted to play tricks. He blinked his big eyes, pointed a chubby finger, and laughed: "How about Miaomiao pretend to have a birthday tomorrow?"

This stupid kid.

Xia Yingying shook her head helplessly, but the doting in her eyes could not be deceived.
