Pei Xingyuan's exchange with Master Miao made him very uncomfortable.
In short, after the banquet, the Miao family quickly announced that Mr. Miao was unwell and had an illness, and quickly kept a low profile.
Here, after Mi Xiayao returned to Bieyuan, she began to prepare for her next goal.
Just when she was busy running around, and Chen Xi was busy selecting large furniture, it could be said that she was extremely busy every day.
Pei Xingyuan, who had disappeared for two days, finally appeared in front of Mi Xiayao's furniture store on the third day.
And he accurately put the person on the carriage, leaving Chen Xi standing alone in front of the furniture store, laughing in anger.
In the spacious carriage, Mi Xiayao looked at the man in front of her with confusion.
"What's the matter with you?"
"You run around like this every day, don't your feet feel sore?" As he said that, his eyes moved from Mi Xiayao's belly to her feet.
She glanced down at her feet and put them away.
"Why are you sour?" She continued to act stupid and turned a deaf ear to all Pei Xingyuan's hints.
In fact, after returning from Miao Mansion last time, she and Song Qiao secretly went to another medical clinic to have their pulse checked again.
Only then did I realize that it was all a mistake.
In fact, to be honest, she felt lost for a moment. She just regretted that she still didn't have the chance to have children, but she felt sad that not having children would disrupt her plans.
"Why do you react differently to others?"
Pei Xingyuan frowned. The seriousness and confusion in his eyes filled him with confusion, and he didn't notice Mi Xiayao's strange expression at all.
She raised her hand to pat Pei Xingyuan on the shoulder and tell the truth.
But seeing the other person immersed in a state of serious thinking and judgment, she couldn't take it anymore for a while.
I understand this feeling so well. I obviously see hope, but it would be too cruel to destroy it with my own hands.
She pursed her lips and sighed silently.
Forget it, I'll find a suitable opportunity to explain it clearly another day.
Pei Xingyuan lowered his head and thought for a long time, and did not notice Mi Xiayao's struggling expression.
After a while, he remembered something and suddenly looked up at her.
"I know," he looked at her firmly, "it must be because your physical fitness is good, so your reaction is not as big as others."
Mi Xiayao: "..." She didn't want to take on this scene at all.
There was a brief silence in the carriage.
"You came here to find me just to ask if my feet are sore?" She raised her eyebrows, trying to get the topic back on track.
Pei Xingyuan finally thought of his own business.
"There is a banquet to be held in the palace recently. Recently, your uncle has overwhelming control over Mi Mansion. This banquet may not be synchronized with your news. I am afraid that you are busy with your own affairs and have not noticed this."
He calmed down his expression and said in a deep voice.
Mi Xiayao raised her eyebrows.
She knew that there had been some internal fluctuations in Mi Mansion recently. When she went to visit her grandfather next door yesterday, she felt a slight fluctuation.
It's just that Mi Lao seemed to have turned a blind eye and acquiesced to her uncle's behavior. She didn't bother to intervene in the struggle between these uncles, so she turned a deaf ear.
"Your Majesty is bedridden. I don't know when there was a rumor circulating in the palace that a happy occasion was needed. Queen Xu has been preparing for this recently."
Pei Xingyuan continued talking in a deep voice.
It's not a matter of joy. When Mi Xiayao heard this, she just curled her lips and smiled.
The queen just wanted to take advantage of the emperor's critical illness and find an excuse to find a person from an aristocratic family who could help the prince to have a marriage. After all, the Xu family is now half-yielding, and they need a new force.
influx.
"Is that why my uncle urgently summoned his daughter back to the capital?"
Mi Xiayao sneered, curled her hair with her fingers, crossed her legs lazily and said leisurely.
The man's eyes fell on her sitting posture with her legs crossed. He frowned and raised his hand to pat her legs down very seriously.
Unable to cross her legs, she sighed, but honestly did not cross her legs any more.
"Your Mi family is rushing to conspire with the prince, why don't you stop it?" Pei Xingyuan glanced at her and asked.
"What's there to stop? Some people won't look back until they hit the south wall. If they can really get a spot in this competition, it won't have much impact on the foundation of the Mi Mansion. The prince's concubine will not have much impact, at most.
It’s just a moment of glory.”
Her thoughts were clear and sharp, and with every word she read, Pei Xingyuan's eyes grew more appreciative.
The black-looking carriage drove all the way to the entrance of Mifu Villa, but the carriage was too big. To enter the alley, you had to go around at least once and take a larger entrance alley to get to the entrance of the courtyard.
Mi Xiayao was too lazy to bother, she got off the carriage directly, and Pei Xingyuan followed closely behind.
She had just stood still when Mi Mansion's carriage slowly stopped beside her.
Before she could even look over to see who it was, she heard "Sister Mi."
Immediately afterwards, the two people who got off the carriage looked towards the source of the sound.
Mi Kexian was the person who called Sister Mi, and next to her stood a slender person with a vaguely frail figure.
She also turned to look at Mi Kexian.
"Ah...Sister Xia Yao, did you just come back from the house?" Mi Kexian noticed that the person opposite turned to look over.
She subconsciously ignored the "Sister Mi" next to her, and instead went to say hello to the "Sister Mi" over there.
Mi Xiayao glanced at the unfamiliar girl beside her, and finally looked at Mi Kexian.
"Something happened, what a coincidence." She was probably in a good mood today, and she was surprisingly easy to talk to.
Mi Kexian was prepared for the other party to ignore her, but she didn't expect the other party to answer her. Instead, she was a little at a loss.
The person called Sister Mi turned her head and looked over.
The two finally met face to face.
Pei Xingyuan put one hand behind his back, standing behind Mi Xiayao like a silent guard.
After seeing the girl, he leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear: "This is your uncle's direct daughter, Mi Wei."
Mi Wei, she has heard about this girl from the Mi family.
He is a somewhat scheming person.
Such people are not suitable to be used as enemies.
"This is Sister Mi Wei. She has just returned to the capital recently and is not very familiar with this place. My grandfather asked me to introduce my sister to this place."
Since that outing, Mi Kexian has had very little contact with Mi Xiayao.
The main reason was that Mi Xiayao was caught in the bad reputation of being grounded, and she was trying to protect herself.
Although the grounding was over now, Mi Kexian still did not take the initiative to express her friendship with Mi Xiayao.
According to Mi Xiayao's guess, the other party was probably unwilling to take risks.
She was also happy and relaxed.
"She is my great-uncle's daughter. I heard that you were studying in a well-known private school. I have heard a little bit about you there. Several famous nuns in the palace went there for their retirement. It shouldn't be unnatural for Sister Mi Wei to return to Beijing."
Mi Xiayao's smile was not too enthusiastic, but her words were rarely more gentle.
Pei Xingyuan heard the good intentions in her words, and he lowered his eyes slightly and fell on her.
