She glanced at the pile of gifts on the ground and knew that Mi Wei was coming. She didn't stay long and walked straight into the house.
When Pei Xingyuan saw her coming, the two of them just looked at each other and knew what the other was going to say.
"Some people's cities are not there from the beginning."
She opened her mouth to give a hint.
Pei Xingyuan pretended to make a long and clear sound, "Then why don't you squeeze others to death in the cradle before they grow up?"
"I currently have no conflicts with her. What do you think I am, a waste disposal professional?"
She glared and went back. When she was about to leave, she remembered something and turned back to warn him: "And you, please leave me alone."
The words were said in a dignified way but not in a dignified way, and they were said in an angry way but not like that.
Pei Xingyuan acted coquettishly after hearing this. He followed her closely and put his arm on her shoulder.
He lowered his voice and said, "I didn't say I didn't support what you did. You just brought down the entire Mi family and became the boss of the Mi family. I support you."
She was staggered by the impact and looked back at him with a warning look.
While the two of them were bickering, Song Qiao received news from someone in the Qianmen Palace.
"Madam, there will be a prayer banquet in the palace recently, should we go?"
When Mi Xiayao heard about this banquet, she paused slightly and glanced sideways at Pei Xingyuan.
The latter looked calm and could not see any subtle emotional changes.
"I'll go."
"Then slave girl, go and report to the palace people." Song Qiao turned around and left in a hurry.
There were only two of them left on the corridor. Pei Xingyuan watched Song Qiao walk away before he said, "What, have you thought clearly? Are you going to swim through this muddy water?"
"It's better to hear the news than to passively learn the news. It's interesting to see this kind of excitement." She said her thoughts confidently.
A man can only follow her words and say that she is right.
——
Because His Majesty was critically ill, most banquets in the capital did not dare to be held blatantly. Some banquets that had been prepared for a long time ended with regret.
Therefore, this so-called "prayer banquet" in the palace is the only entertainment for everyone these days.
Mi Xiayao entered the palace early and sat for a while in the main palace of the blessing banquet.
Many people entered the palace one after another.
Among them, two branches of the Mi family entered the palace one after another.
The eldest uncle came in under Mi Lao's favor this time, and the fourth uncle came to this banquet mainly because of his wide network of contacts.
When the two brothers met in the palace, they could clearly see the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
Mi Xiayao held her chin and watched the excitement in the Mi family in boredom.
She is a female official serving in the palace. According to the rules, unless Empress Xu specifically instructs her not to come, she can attend all banquets in the palace directly.
Mi Kexian stood behind Fourth Master Mi. She looked at her cousin who was standing tall and calm behind her uncle. She subconsciously raised her chin to make herself look less oppressed.
Mi Xiayao saw the small details between the two people, and she curled her lips and smiled silently, as if she was about to withdraw her gaze.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Mi Wei looking towards her.
She didn't feel caught at all, and even met Mi Wei's gaze openly.
Their eyes briefly contacted each other, but they looked away from each other in a tacit understanding.
The big eyes and small eyes on the Mi family's side were not a scene that attracted much attention in the hall, because soon there was new commotion at the door of the hall.
Her eyes moved away.
Lin Guogong's formation was quite large. In front of him were Lin Guogong and his wife, one in official uniform and the other in official uniform.
And half a step behind them was a lady dressed in palace attire.
This reminded Mi Xiayao that she hadn't seen Miss Lin for a long time since she came out of Lin Guogong's mansion that day.
Lin Wei glanced around the people in the hall indifferently, and her last gaze rested on Mi Xiayao.
She raised her eyebrows, glanced at Mi Xiayao with a half-smile, and finally sat down in the front row.
Song Qiao leaned over slightly and whispered: "Master Pei told Madam this morning that she would only watch today."
The master and servant have developed a tacit understanding, and Song Qiao saw a little restlessness in his wife's eyes.
She reminded kindly.
Mi Xiayao took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, "I went to see Lin Wei, not to get involved in the center of tonight."
"I just want to remind you, Madam." Song Qiao knew what she meant, but she still mentioned it tactfully.
Just when Lin Guogong arrived in the main hall, many people wanted to take the opportunity to come forward and say a few words of flattery.
There was commotion again at the door of the main hall.
This was the time when noble people frequently entered the hall. Mi Xiayao watched the adults in official clothes entering the hall with their families.
The hall that was quiet just now suddenly became dull and noisy.
She couldn't sit still anymore, and when she wanted to stand up, Mi Wei came straight towards her.
The curve that had just risen went back down instantly.
"Cousin." She took the initiative to say hello.
Mi Wei also replied to her cousin in a gentle tone, and then the two of them sat down side by side.
The atmosphere here was eerily quiet for a brief moment.
"Mi Kexian went to find the eldest girl from Lin Guogong's family. Did she not bring her cousin with her?"
She always speaks straight to the point.
Mi Wei looked sideways and saw those beautiful eyes looking at her with a hidden smile.
Her body stiffened slightly, and finally she nodded and said, "Mi Kexian and I are not the same person."
"Ah... that's true. Based on what I have learned throughout my life, my cousin will not be willing to be a foil like her."
Mi Xiayao seemed to say this casually and casually.
Mi Wei ignored her pointed topic and turned in another direction, "Last time I came to visit, I heard from your gatekeeper that you went out and failed."
"I received the gift. I just wanted to go back to those days. Isn't it the time for the blessing banquet in the palace? I have been busy for a while. Do you mind, cousin?"
The conversation between the two of them seemed confusing, but what each of them said had a hidden meaning.
The atmosphere here is really weird.
Suddenly, at the door of the main hall, I heard my father-in-law reporting in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived——"
The noise that had just been noisy suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the door.
Prince Qin Qiao has not seen him since his outing at the Qingyan Pavilion.
Mi Xiayao looked over with half-squinted eyes. What she was paying attention to was not Prince Qin Qiao, but the unhappy concubine Xiao Gui behind him.
They are all people who attract the attention of the palace and even the whole capital, and the slightest slight aberration will be magnified and noticed by others.
Based on the progress of her previous life, Mi Xiayao vaguely seemed to remember that Xiao Guifei was experiencing a miscarriage at this juncture.
She dared to step out of her confinement during today's blessing banquet, which shows that tonight's banquet will really affect her current status as a "favorite concubine".
She raised her eyebrows and gradually became interested in watching a show.
Although it was a pity that I did not witness this lively "happy event" in Beijing in my previous life, it is not too late to witness it now.
