Chapter 575 The Little Princess Who Depends on the Imperial Concubine in the World of Palace Fightin
Hongxiu received the order from the imperial concubine and did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to the Qianqing Palace.
When the eunuch Li Dequan, who was guarding outside the palace, saw her, he immediately smiled and came over to greet her: "Why are you here, Miss Hongxiu? What do you want, the imperial concubine?"
Hongxiu bowed and told Li Dequan that the imperial concubine wanted to adopt the little princess.
Li Dequan naturally did not dare to neglect the imperial concubine's request and hurried in to report.
In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials. When he heard that the imperial concubine had sent someone to come, he looked up with a little surprise: "Hongxiu? What's the matter, imperial concubine?"
Li Dequan knelt down and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine wants to adopt the little princess of Qinghe Palace, and has specially sent Miss Hongxiu to ask for Your Majesty's permission."
"Little princess?" The emperor paused, frowning slightly. "Which little princess?"
Li Dequan sighed inwardly, but did not show it on his face. He still answered respectfully, "It's the little princess born to that palace maid two years ago. Her name is Miaomiao. She is now being raised in Qinghe Palace."
The emperor thought for a moment, and then he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a child. The maid died shortly after giving birth, and he had no feelings for the woman, so naturally he didn't care about the child, and he had never even met the child.
Even a name was not given to her. I guess the name Miaomiao was given by the child's deceased mother.
"Why did the imperial concubine suddenly think of adopting a child?" The emperor was a little surprised, "And a princess."
He originally thought that with Yingying's strong personality, she should raise a prince.
Li Dequan said: "I guess the queen saw the little princess today and felt that she had a good relationship with her, so she decided to adopt her."
The emperor pondered for a moment, but did not ask any more questions.
She was just an unfavored princess, and since the imperial concubine liked her, she would be given to him. He picked up his pen and dipped it in ink, and immediately wrote an imperial decree, recording Miaomiao under the imperial concubine's name. From then on, she was the imperial concubine's daughter in name and intellect.
"Go and tell the imperial concubine that I agree." The emperor handed the imperial edict to Li Dequan and said lightly.
Li Dequan sent the imperial edict out. Hongxiu was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude, then walked out holding the imperial edict.

Evening, Yongshou Palace.
"Mom, does this look good?" Miaomiao stood in front of the bronze mirror, with the pearl hair accessory that Xia Yingying had just put on her head, and turned around happily.
Xia Yingying was sitting on the side, holding a gold and jade necklace in her hand. She smiled and said, "It looks good. Our Miaomiao looks good in anything she wears."
When the little girl heard this, she immediately ran over, threw herself into her arms, and asked with her little face up, "Does mother like Miaomiao?"
The little guy has such a sweet personality.
Xia Yingying was amused by her straightforward question and reached out to pinch her soft face: "I like it, why not?"
Miaomiao immediately smiled, hugged her neck and rubbed it, her soft body pressed against the imperial concubine: "Miaomiao loves mother the most too!"
Nanny Song and the palace maids beside them couldn't help but smile at this heartwarming scene. Who would have thought that the usually spoiled and willful imperial concubine would be so patient with a little kid?
Nanny Song was filled with relief.
The queen is unable to bear children and feels lonely in the deep palace. It is a good thing to have a little princess to accompany her.
Xia Yingying was in a very good mood. She picked up a new set of clothes and tried them on Miaomiao: "Come, try this. I specially asked someone to make it for you."
Miaomiao stretched out her hand obediently and let her play with it.
Little Tuanzi originally wore old coarse cloth clothes in Qinghe Palace. When he went to Qinghe Palace to pack his things, he carried a small rag bag on his back, like a little beggar.
Now wearing exquisite silk, she looks delicate and elegant.
The more Xia Yingying looked at it, the more satisfied she became. She believed that her child should have the best things in the world.
He also ordered someone to bring a pair of gold bell bracelets and put them on Miaomiao's wrists.
"Ding ding dang dang——" Miaomiao shook her little hands, listened to the crisp bell sound, and smiled with her eyes curved into crescents.
Xia Yingying was just about to pick out some more jewelry for her when she suddenly heard the eunuch outside singing loudly: "The Emperor has arrived——"
Everyone in the hall was shocked and quickly straightened their clothes and knelt down to welcome the emperor.
Xia Yingying curled her lips: "Why are you here at this time?"
She hasn't developed enough affection with the kid yet.
The palace door opened and the emperor stepped in. His eyes swept over the palace maids kneeling on the ground, and finally fell on Xia Yingying and the little girl beside her.
Before Miaomiao could react, Xia Yingying pulled her to her side to greet the emperor.
Seeing the emperor come in, Xia Yingying bowed and saluted.
Little Tuanzi followed the salute in a daze. His arms and legs were not very flexible, and his hands were tightly grasping Xia Yingying's sleeves.
"Get flat." The emperor said calmly.
Xia Yingying pulled Miaomiao up and went to greet him with a smile: "Why did the emperor come suddenly? He didn't even tell me in advance so that I could prepare to receive him."
The emperor glanced at her, then looked down at Miaomiao, who was hiding behind her with only half of her face exposed, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this the little princess you want to adopt?"
Xia Yingying gently pushed Miaomiao to the front and said softly, "Miaomiao, quickly pay your respects to the emperor."
Miaomiao raised her head and looked at the emperor timidly.
She had never seen such a majestic person before, and was a little scared for a moment. She whispered, "Miao, Miaomiao pays respect to the emperor..."
The emperor looked at her and saw that this little girl was very cute, with a pair of big watery eyes, and she was quite smart. He reached out and touched her head, and his tone was rarely gentle: "Well, she is a well-behaved child."
Xia Yingying was a little proud: "Of course not, Your Majesty, look, this is how I dressed the little one. It looks good, doesn't it? When I saw Miaomiao, I felt much better."
The emperor glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "You are really good at choosing. You found someone so considerate."
Xia Yingying pursed her lips and smiled. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Miaomiao suddenly ask in a low voice: "The emperor... is he Miaomiao's new father?"
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Daddy?
This title is rare.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, bent down and picked up Miaomiao: "Not a new father, I have always been your father."
Then why hasn’t Miaomiao seen you before?
The naive little cub was about to ask when he was stopped by 888.
[Dear boy, let's talk about something else.] This is not a good question.
Is that so? Okay then.
The little princess is still very easy to talk to.
Miaomiao blinked, then suddenly stretched out her little hand and gently touched the emperor's beard, curiously asking, "Does daddy's beard prick my hand?"
The palace servants gasped, fearing that the emperor would be angry. But the emperor was not angry at all, but laughed out loud: "Try to touch it?"
Miaomiao really leaned forward and rubbed it with her soft little face, then wrinkled her nose: "It's prickly!"
The emperor was amused by her childish talk and was in a good mood. He turned to Xia Yingying and said, "This child is good. You can raise him. I will come often in the future."
Xia Yingying was happy to see this happen.
In the palace, the emperor's favor is everything. Miaomiao is her daughter now, so it would be good for the emperor to visit her more often.
Miaomiao tilted her head. Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she saw that the empress was happy and started laughing too. She even grabbed a strand of the emperor's hair with her little hands and played with it.
