Princess Yongning's birthday banquet was held at the princess's mansion.
When Mi Xiayao and Mi Hanhai went to Mi Mansion to pick up the old man early in the morning, they happened to meet the uncle.
"Big brother." Mi Hanhai respected this big brother very much, so he greeted him first.
"This royal birthday banquet is different from ordinary birthday banquets. Third brother should pay more attention when taking Ayao with him."
The uncle smiled and patted Mi Hanhai on the shoulder and said.
Seeing the harmonious scene between the two brothers, Mi Xiayao moved her eyes away.
"A-Yao is not young anymore. The royal princess and the county master are almost at A-Yao's age when it comes to marriage. Don't you think of finding another one for her?"
The uncle held his sleeves and said this sentence seemingly unintentionally, but in fact, his inner secret was completely exposed in this sentence.
The smile on Mi Hanhai's mouth was a little stagnant, "Ayao has also been through a marriage, and her mood must be much more mature than then. Children have their own choices.
"The palace election should be coming soon in the spring of the new year. How are Alin's preparations? Do we need to use some financial resources to see if we can get some news from the mouth of some dignitary?"
He was not a vegetarian either, so he threw a heavy burden on my uncle when he came up.
Mi Xiayao stood aside and couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
When her uncle talked about her marriage, her father naturally had no room to talk about his son who failed to win the top prize over and over again.
With her naked eyes, she could see that the uncle's face was getting a little ugly.
"I also thought that his uncle was worried about him. Ah Lin is not young anymore. If it really doesn't work, he should look for other ways out."
Mi Hanhai patted his uncle's shoulder cautiously.
Just when the two brothers were standing face to face, unable to tell each other's emotions for a moment, Mr. Mi and Mrs. Mi walked out of the house.
They said goodbye to their uncle and accompanied Master Mi into the carriage.
Mi Xiayao sat by the window.
Those words that my uncle said just now when he came up, in Mi Hanhai's eyes, might just be the care between brothers.
But for her, it was absolutely impossible to bring up such a topic for no reason.
The Mi family seemed to be harmonious and happy on the surface, but if grandpa hadn't suppressed the uncles who had evil intentions, they might have caused trouble for themselves.
After arriving at the princess's mansion, the Mi family followed the lead of the female official of the princess's mansion and entered the courtyard.
In the open-air garden, round tables were placed at random, and they sat down. After a while, another female official led people over.
Pei Xingyuan did not come with the prince today. Although he is wearing a blue round robe, it is ordinary clothes, but the fabric is exquisitely embroidered...?
Mi Xiayao looked up and down at the clothes on Pei Xingyuan with half-squinted eyes.
The more she looked at it, the more familiar it looked.
Mrs. Mi had been observing Mi Xiayao's every move, and she saw her granddaughter staring at Pei Xingyuan.
The old lady looked at Pei Xingyuan again.
The latter turned his head and said something to the female officer with a calm expression.
When the female officer left, Mrs. Mi said: "Isn't Xiao Pei already in his twenties now?"
Mr. Mi was talking to Mi Hanhai about something. When he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Mi.
The latter noticed her husband's gaze and seemed to pause for a moment.
Pei Xingyuan took it calmly and said with a smile: "It's almost there. After the New Year, it will be twenty-five or six."
"Today's juniors are all motivated and only think about having a successful career. They don't want to think about starting a family first."
Mrs. Mi smiled a little reluctantly. She hurriedly said this sentence and wanted to interrupt the topic.
But Pei Xingyuan didn't agree with her and insisted on continuing the topic: "What the old lady said makes sense. Most people are like this recently."
Mi Xiayao glanced at the man, and she was 100% sure that this man did it on purpose.
"But it's so expensive to have a family now. The capital belongs to noble ladies." Pei Xingyuan looked at Mrs. Mi with a half-hearted smile.
Master Mi looked at Mrs. Mi again, she paused and laughed dryly.
Until Pei Xingyuan was greeted by other bureaucrats and sent away, the table no longer had any foreign surnames. Mr. Mi cleared his throat and reminded Mrs. Mi not to talk nonsense.
Seeing that Mrs. Mi was unable to use her evil tricks, Mi Xiayao was holding back her laughter and was almost overjoyed.
I took this opportunity to get up and go out.
As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I realized that the courtyard was even more lively outside. Many dignitaries were standing together, laughing and chatting about everyday things.
There was also a beautifully dressed noble lady chatting with her.
The fabric that Mi Xiayao wore today was specially selected from the most exquisite fabric from Yuelailou, especially the shawl on her shoulders.
Different from the shoulders of those noble ladies from aristocratic families, she unfolded the shawl and hung it on her shoulders. She walked steadily, but the shawl unfolded like a gauze and floated elegantly in mid-air.
Mi Xiayao's temperament was outstanding and conspicuous. Some people noticed her, but they had no memories or interactions with her and only glanced at her lightly.
Seeing that there were many people, she thought of going around in a circle and going to a place with fewer people to stay for a while.
Unexpectedly, when he turned a corner, he saw a familiar man looking down at a female officer and saying something.
The female officer was very vigilant and quickly noticed Mi Xiayao's movements.
At this moment, like a frightened bird or beast, the female official ran into the deep path without looking back.
"What are you doing here."
Duan Honglin frowned and questioned the other party.
Mi Xiayao remembered the clothes of the escaped female officer just now and turned to look at Duan Honglin.
"I was invited by the eldest princess herself... Isn't this the eldest princess's princess mansion? If you can come, why can't I come?"
She still had a thorn in her words, irritating people with her mockery and laughter.
Duan Honglin seemed to be calmer than before. Although his expression changed again and again, it was rare that he didn't scold her back.
"Do you really think that the royal family is interested in you when they extend an olive branch to you?" Duan Honglin sneered.
He took a few steps forward, and the distance between the two people became much closer.
"It's a pity that your tavern wasn't destroyed last time."
Last time? Lin Qiang?
Mi Xiayao was neither afraid nor panicked. She looked up at Duan Honglin in front of her with a magnanimous gaze.
He was caught off guard by the tenacity in her eyes.
"Duan Honglin, I didn't attack you before, you should be grateful to me, since you picked me up.
"Even if I am too busy to move away, I can easily step you into the dirt."
She glanced at Duan Honglin up and down, and said with a sneer: "You are such a humble official and you are taking advantage of the opportunity to get promoted. Don't let me torment you enough."
After saying these harsh words, she raised her red lips slightly, turned around and left the trail neatly without any hesitation.
Duan Honglin stood there with a gloomy look in his eyes.
