Chen Xi had mentioned to Mrs. Chen once before that she could predict such an important scene in Mi Mansion today with her toes.
This Mrs. Chen will definitely cause trouble.
Mi Xiayao's tone of voice was decisive and harsh, and her frank expression even made Mrs. Chen in front of her stagger.
"Why, are you scared now? When you swore to identify me just now, why didn't you see that you were scared?"
Instead, she took a step forward.
The current screen immediately rotated 180 degrees.
Everyone who originally wanted to watch the excitement was appeased by the eldest uncle of the Mi family on the spot.
"Everyone, today is a good day for Mr. Mi's daughter to get engaged. Let's go to the front hall to talk about old times."
With that said, he motioned to the maid to lead people into the house.
Mi Xiayao is still confronting Mrs. Chen.
The two of them never looked away from each other. Mrs. Chen blinked her eyes, as if she was unwilling to be diverted.
Mi Xiayao noticed her little move, and she raised her red lips, "What bad moves are you still trying to hold back? I'm not your Chen Xi who can be easily bullied and won't do anything to you just for the sake of Mr. Chen's face."
She looked down slightly at the woman in front of her.
Mrs. Chen couldn't say a word for a long time, and Mi Xiayao was in no mood to continue confronting her.
She raised her chin slightly, bumped Mrs. Chen's shoulder calmly, and walked straight into the hall.
And Pei Xingyuan, who arrived at the gate at an unknown time, was looking at the wonderful scenes in the courtyard with his hands folded across his chest and a sly smile.
He straightened his back slightly, said nothing, but didn't show anything, and just passed by.
Mrs. Chen came back to her senses. She was in her own little world, and no one dared to provoke her.
It was the first time that someone exposed her in front of everyone, and Mrs. Chen's face immediately darkened.
She suddenly clenched her hands and glanced angrily at the loosely dressed woman in the hall.
He stared at the abdomen with evil eyes and murmured: "How can I not be pregnant? I even drank anti-fetal medicine."
The brief friction and collision in the hospital just now did not affect anything today.
But Fourth Master Mi's face was never that pretty.
Mi Xiayao just came to give a gift, and she seemed to do it. She quietly left the seat halfway.
——
Recently, the Mi family has indeed returned to everyone's eyes again.
Because the ultimate goal of this big wedding is to celebrate, Queen Xu didn't even pretend to be pretentious, and just wanted to have the fastest auspicious day.
And let the people in the palace prepare as soon as possible.
In less than four or five days, a formation was managed.
It was the formation that came out of the palace, picked up this new concubine of the Mi family, carried a not-so-high-profile sedan, and swayed all the way to the side entrance of the East Palace.
What they are borrowing today is just the happiness of their wedding.
There were no less than fifty or sixty tables in the East Palace, and all along the way you could see the makeshift and casual preparations for the wedding.
Mi Xiayao showed up from the East Palace and left immediately.
On the way, she sighed helplessly.
"Mi Kexian has such a good hand. If she insists on playing this way, she insists on sending a legitimate daughter to be a concubine. This wedding has become a joke in the whole capital. What's the use of being famous? People may point it out behind their backs.
Why are you laughing at her?"
"Miss Xian... No, now it's time to call me Concubine Xian. When I heard that she was driven away in a sedan chair this morning, she was so aggrieved that she almost shed tears."
"That's what she deserves. The rest of her life in the East Palace depends on her own fate."
Mi Xiayao closed her eyes and didn't care about the mess in the backyard of the East Palace.
What is most urgent for her right now is that Wang Shangfu in the palace quickly relents and agrees to remove her from the title of female official.
In this way, she could leave the capital smoothly.
She was pondering in her mind whether she should take advantage of this juncture to commit a crime and enter the palace, and she went to persuade Wang Shangfu to give up on herself.
At this time, it happened that less than three days had passed since Prince Qin Qiao took his concubine, and the so-called "return home" had not even arrived yet.
Some good news actually came from the palace.
"Are you saying that His Majesty is showing signs of improvement? The hospital is sure that he can survive this time and he will be cured after a few more months of training!?"
Gu Yun's tone rose slightly, with a hint of surprise and disbelief.
She was originally from a merchant family with a little money among ordinary people, and she actually had little to do with the dignitaries in the capital.
Gu Yun frowned and laughed dryly, "This royal family is different. When you are seriously ill on the bed, there is a feeling that the sky is falling. How long did it take for this so-called 'joy' to happen? The clouds turned sunny that day."
Some things are not convenient to say on the public stage.
But Mi Xiayao knew it well.
The emperor's time is indeed running out, otherwise he would not be able to let the Xu family control public opinion as they please at the last moment, support the prince and quickly obtain the power to supervise the country, and naturally ascend to the throne.
I don’t know how long this ridiculous life will last.
Mi Xiayao's brows gradually wrinkled.
"The small courtyard has recently reopened its tailor-made business. Qianqi said that she heard a new gossip and asked me to tell you today."
Gu Yun looked at Mi Xiayao mysteriously.
She lowered her voice and said: "That cousin of yours has some tricks up her sleeve. In the past few days since her marriage, she has quickly taken control of Prince Qin Qiao's body and mind. I heard that Xiao Guifei has been losing power recently."
"Even the servants in the East Palace who are accustomed to receiving rewards from Xiao Gui's concubine have become mere wallflowers and want to follow that concubine."
"Guess why she was able to grasp the prince so quickly."
Gu Yun deliberately left the situation in suspense.
Mi Xiayao took a sip of strong tea and raised her eyelids to glance at Gu Yun.
"Because she deliberately learned a lot about my state and temper, Prince Qin Qiao used her as a substitute. After a few days of freshness, he will naturally pamper her more."
This gossip was of no quality, and Mi Xiayao wasn't that interested.
This indifferent reaction instantly swept away Gu Yun Bagua's elegance.
It happened that Song Qiao received the message from Zhou Ze at this moment, and she hurried in.
"Madam, something happened in the East Palace."
"What?"
One second they were chatting about the East Palace gossip, and the next second there was new news about the person involved.
The mouth seemed to be open.
Song Qiao handed over the letter in his hand, "My servant only saw that the cover said East Palace, and it was the news sent by Mr. Zhou."
Mi Xiayao quickly opened the letter.
"Xiao Guifei's identity was investigated and she was said to be someone else's spy. And the person who exposed the news... was Mi Kexian."
She briefly summarized the above content.
The other two people present stared with wide eyes.
Song Qiao reacted the fastest. She said absentmindedly: "Concubine Xian behaves like this in the mansion on weekdays. Has Fourth Master Mi got some huge backer recently?"
