Zhou Ze originally had a goddess filter towards Mi Xiayao.
Before that, he still remembered Mi Xiayao, the purple-clothed girl who looked like a fairy from the Luoshen in He Mansion.
He immediately turned to look at Pei Xingyuan, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, this immediate boss was so engrossed in peeling oranges for his sweetheart that he never received any look from his subordinates asking for help.
In fact, even if he saw it, Pei Xingyuan would not save him.
"Ahem... There hasn't been much movement in Mi Mansion recently. It's just some trivial things. Miss Mi must not be interested."
Mi Xiayao gasped, "This subordinate of yours doesn't speak clearly and neatly at all. When I ask him to talk about something, he still mumbles."
"Tsk." Pei Xingyuan finally raised his eyelids and looked at the other party with warning eyes.
"I didn't ask you to come here to embarrass me."
The man's deep voice was filled with a warning chill, and Zhou Ze knew how to read people's eyes.
Seeing that he had to go on this road, he lowered his shoulders.
The filter of the Luo Goddess in my mind was shattered.
"The eldest son of the Mi family has recently called back his eldest daughter who is far away from the capital. Recently, the fourth master of the Mi family has been visiting various banquets frequently and seems to be inquiring about some news."
Mi Xiayao held her chin and listened to this thoughtfully.
In fact, the news progress is similar to that of her spy in Mifu.
Just at this time, Song Qiao brought Chen Xi over.
When Chen Xi walked in, she saw that the hall was quite lively. She walked over confused for a moment.
"What's wrong? Did Mr. Zhou do something bad to make you angry?"
It's no wonder she understands it so well.
Zhou Ze stood respectfully in front of the door, even lowering his head in a humble manner, as if he was being caught and scolded by the two equally powerful adults in the hall.
Mi Xiayao asked her to sit next to him and said, "It's okay. I asked you to come just to watch the fun."
After saying that, Mi Xiayao turned to Zhou Ze and said, "Let me ask you another piece of gossip. Do you know what gossip is going on in the third prince's house?"
Chen Xi turned his head and looked over curiously.
Zhou Ze glanced at Pei Xingyuan again. Most of the news from the third prince's house were secrets from the court. He was unsure of what to weigh in his heart.
Unexpectedly, when he glanced over, he could only see Pei Xingyuan putting the peeled oranges on the plate next to Mi Xiayao's hand.
No regard for his life or death.
"Does Miss Mi want to hear about the bride or the third prince?"
"What do you think I like to hear?" She threw it back without hesitation.
Zhou Ze was choked.
Chen Xi pursed her lips and suppressed laughter. Although she didn't quite understand why Zhou Ze was scolded, she was happy to watch as there was excitement.
"Ahem... The third prince's concubine has one thing. After the bride enters the palace, both the queen and the concubine want to save face. One is the mother-in-law, and the other is the mother-in-law, leaving this rather embarrassing problem to the third prince's concubine."
Mi Xiayao also guessed this.
Chen Xi burst out laughing, "Cui Sibao is still as embarrassed as ever."
"How do you say that?" Mi Xiayao's eyes suddenly lit up. This was more interesting than Zhou Ze's gossip.
Immediately, she abandoned Zhou Ze and turned to ask Chen Xi curiously.
This small action stimulated Zhou Ze's unfounded competitiveness.
He can talk boringly, but no one can beat him to the boring gossip!
"Similar situations have occurred in the palace before, in the Shangfu Bureau, but to be honest, she really knows how to treat them in a balanced way."
Chen Xi praised Cui Sibao's abilities.
Zhou Ze glared at his round dog eyes and immediately interrupted Chen Xi's words. He then said: "The three princes and concubines claimed to be sick, and finally gave each of them a big gift, and said they would go there another day when they were free.
Look at you two, you have resolved this crisis."
"Hey, with her move, I could tell what gift she gave even with my eyes closed. The Cui family has a tea mountain that produces exceptionally good quality. The late emperor once boasted that the tea from the Cui family's tea mountain is delicious. In addition, the Cui family rarely sells their tea to outsiders.
As time goes by, everyone in the capital standardizes the way the Cui family treats people. As long as they give tea, they must treat them with the most dignity."
Chen Xi snorted and spoke before Zhou Ze could say anything.
When Zhou Ze heard this, he realized that there was someone who dared to know more than him. He stared angrily and grabbed the topic and continued: "I also know that the Miao family originally sent Miao Qi to be married to the Rong family, but because of Miao Qi's appearance,
After the scandal involving the outing case, the Miao family abandoned Miao Qi."
"Speaking of which, Miao Qi should actually be getting her haircut this year. I heard from people that the Miao family originally wanted to arrange this haircut ceremony in a sensational manner."
Chen Xi seemed to have more news than Zhou Ze. She turned to Mi Xiayao and said.
Mi Xiayao looked at the healthy competition in front of her with a smile. Everyone gossiped like a dumpling.
Mi Xiayao's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled.
Pei Xingyuan, who was sitting aside and carefully observing Mi Xiayao's expression, took advantage of her to watch the excitement and stuffed the orange into her mouth.
With her attention divided, she didn't notice Pei Xingyuan's actions at all, and just ate the orange and listened to their conversation.
"So the Miao family now has a new concubine to train. Although she is a concubine, her biological mother's identity is not simple. Some people say that this biological mother is a famous person in the border area."
Border?
The smile on Mi Xiayao's lips faded a lot, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Pei Xingyuan beside her.
"Have there been so many border officials coming to the capital recently?"
Her tone lowered a bit.
She had never paid attention to this detail in her previous life, so naturally she didn't know the mystery behind it.
Pei Xingyuan's eyes always fell on her, and even when she whispered something close to him, his eyes moved with her.
"Actually, this is a decision made by His Majesty before. The main purpose is to shorten the border and exchange resources between some small countries, so the border is relaxed twice as much as before."
"But it's understandable that a general like the Miao family has a border girl... Ah, that's understandable."
Mi Xiayao suddenly understood. The Miao family was suppressed at the border gate in the early years. It was not surprising to meet a border woman. It was understandable to have a woman with a border household registration as a concubine... but...
She frowned.
"If you have any doubts, you can just tell me after they leave."
He picked up the tea cup and put it in her hand, which also blocked the two "thieves" who pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
Zhou Ze curled his lips and lowered his head again.
Chen Xi also pretended not to move and pretended to play with Mi Xiaobao.
"So, the Miao family has now cultivated a concubine who wants to marry someone from the Rong family? Who will the two young masters of the Rong family marry? It won't be Rong Yuanzhou, right?"
Mi Xiayao withdrew her attention and turned to look at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze raised his head and said subconsciously: "It seems that the Rong family cannot move Rong Yuanzhou. I only heard that the daughter of the Miao family is probably going to marry the second son of the Rong family, the Rong Chen who has just returned from school."
Mi Xiayao was not really interested in the gossip of the Rong family. She just heard it and felt a little surprised.
"Axi, what do you think of Rong Chen?" She looked at Chen Xi again.
