Prince Qin Qiao sat in the first place, his expression never relaxed before. It can be seen that even if His Majesty is critically ill during this period, there are still hidden dangers in the position of Prince.
Mi Wei looked at Xiao Guibi, she didn't have any friends with whom she usually played well.
After looking around, her eyes finally returned to Mi Xiayao, and her eyes flickered for a moment.
"You want to chat with me about gossip, but you don't think our relationship has reached this point?"
Mi Xiayao had long sensed the restlessness around her, and she turned to tease Mi Wei.
"You..." How do you know?
Halfway through Mi Wei's startled words, she realized that her emotions could not be exposed and quickly stopped.
She chuckled lightly, holding the orange in her hand and tossing it around unconsciously, her movements quite casual.
"It's reasonable that the relationship between the two of us is awkward, but when it comes to external gossip, sometimes we still need to stand on the same page."
"That's what I thought too."
The two people looked at each other quickly and hit it off immediately.
Even if they didn't have much contact before, smart people don't need to be so restrained when dealing with each other.
Mi Wei said in a low voice: "I heard my mother-in-law mentioned in the private school that Xiao Guifei's natal family is an inconspicuous commoner. They all said that Xiao Guifei must have extraordinary scheming to become the crown prince's favorite.
This is the position of concubine."
"But I don't think Xiao Guibin is very scheming," Mi Xiayao said decisively without even looking at Gaotai, "However, if you are confused, you can carefully observe Xiao Guibin's reaction later."
The brief gossip exchange was not yet complete, and soon there was another burst of reports at the door.
"The third prince arrived with the third prince's concubine——"
This is the latest newlywed couple in Beijing, and their status has become the target of gossip for everyone present.
Mi Xiayao leaned on the armrest with her arms and looked over with the same curious eyes.
The newlyweds' movements were quite intimate. Mrs. Cui put her hand on the third prince's arm. The colors of their clothes matched each other, which showed that they had carefully arranged the arrangement.
When Cui Min passed by the crowd, his eyes fell precisely on Mi Xiayao.
But it was only a brief glance, and he passed by quickly.
The third prince and his wife took their seats under the crown prince. The royal family was almost here, and the rest were just side families who could come or not.
Although there was a brief silence in the hall, they saw that the two princes on the high platform had no intention of communicating, and the noisy voices started again.
Mi Wei also followed up and said: "You are right. In the capital, close distance is actually more accurate than long distance."
She admitted this humbly.
The content of the conversation between them cooled down again.
Queen Xu hasn't come yet, so today's blessing banquet cannot be started for a while, so you all have to sit in the hall and have awkward conversations with those around you.
Mi Xiayao felt that Mi Wei's calmness was a bit too boring. For a moment, she missed the lively Zhu Xiuxiu even more.
Her eyes searched back and forth for Zhu Xiuxiu's face in the hall.
Zhu Xiuxiu didn't find it, but found Pei Xingyuan hiding in the crowd.
Her eyebrows jumped sharply.
When they received the invitation from the palace that day, they said in the corridor that with Pei Xingyuan's current state of illness, it was not suitable for him to appear at this blessing banquet.
But she also thought that Pei Xingyuan was someone who couldn't sit still.
Queen Xu hadn't arrived yet, so everyone didn't dare to leave their seats at will.
After about half a cup of tea, Prince Qin Qiao even had a vague tendency to stand up.
Suddenly, the queen's guard of honor came at the entrance of the hall, and Prince Qin Qiao, who was restless, simply stood up.
Everyone stood up to greet Queen Xu, and Concubine Rong, who was following behind the Queen, didn't look very good-looking.
After everything was in place and they sat down again, Mi Xiayao and Mi Wei subconsciously looked at each other.
It is quite unusual for the queen and the concubine to arrive late at the same time.
Queen Xu looked a little tired. She pinched her eyebrows and said, "Before we begin, Your Majesty is feeling vaguely unwell. The imperial doctor's treatment has delayed time. After I said a congratulatory message, I will go back to take care of you."
Your Majesty, please come back after your Majesty has stabilized a bit."
What this means is that tonight's prayer banquet will probably last a long time.
Mi Xiayao lowered her head to cover her frown, and when she raised her head again, she regained her usual composure.
Concubine Rong, who was in a high position, looked at the queen who looked like she was in love with her husband, and her expression seemed even more ugly.
After a brief congratulatory speech, Queen Xu left the scene, and monks outside the hall began to chant sutras and pray.
They don't dare to move too much, they can only move as little as possible but still be careful to talk to other people.
Mi Wei saw that everyone's seats were no longer so strict, so he immediately stood up and left.
There was an empty seat next to Mi Xiayao, so she was not in a hurry, just lowered her eyes and took a sip of hot tea.
When she wanted to take another sip, the tea cup in her hand was snatched away.
You can tell who touched it without even looking.
"You are still addicted to role-playing. Whose attendant did you follow this time?" She asked in a low voice, teasing Pei Xingyuan.
The man took away her strong tea and poured a cup of warm water into her hand.
He was dressed like an attendant, so he didn't look out of place standing behind Mi Xiayao.
Just to have a conversation, he had to lean over slightly.
"I really can't worry about certain people, so I asked her to sit and watch the show. I feel like she can be the one stirring up trouble today."
A low voice reached her ears. She was immune to Pei Xingyuan's pleasant voice during this period and stared back angrily.
Concubine Rong, who was in the high position, looked unhappy. Cui Shi, Cui Min, was talking to Concubine Rong about something to coax her mother-in-law.
The two princes in high positions looked at each other, and both saw vigilance and hostility in each other's eyes.
"Brother Huang has not been in contact with the outside world recently. This must be a difficult time, right?"
The third prince's gentle smile actually changed his past low-key style and dared to openly mock Prince Qin Qiao.
The prince's face immediately darkened, and he stared at the third prince with gloomy eyes.
"The third brother's bride is pretty, but it's a pity... If I follow you, I will only be able to reach the position of the clan's wife in the future, and I will lose the powerful power of the Cui family in vain."
The two of them didn't give in to each other during the conversation. After several harsh words were exchanged, the murderous intent arose on both sides.
Here, Mi Xiayao, who was sitting on the seat, frowned and looked at Pei Xingyuan.
"You will be recognized soon. The dignified Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple came to attend the banquet as a bodyguard for his subordinates. Aren't you embarrassed?"
"Why should I be embarrassed? I ran here to protect my sweetheart. Is it wrong for me?"
"I understand, then I will go find the third prince or the prince, take you around to show your face in front of them, and tell them that my aunt has Master Pei's support today."
Pei Xingyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, and pressed Mi Xiayao's shoulders with his hands.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you madam for your kindness."
