When Mi Xiayao returned to the courtyard, the birthday banquet had gradually begun to become lively.
After Song Qiao handed the gift he prepared to the female officer, he returned to her.
"Ayao, do you know that young master of the Rong family?"
Mrs. Mi looked at Mi Xiayao and asked her with a somewhat complicated expression.
"When I opened a shop in Yuelai Building before, I encountered a group of gangsters making trouble. If Master Rong hadn't helped me suppress the gangsters, I might not even know how to get home that day."
When Mi Hanhai heard such serious content, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this? When did it happen?"
"It's nothing, my daughter has taken care of it."
Mi Xiayao glanced at her grandfather and saw that his expression did not change. She did not say anything, except that there would always be people who made trouble like this in business.
After realizing that something was wrong, she looked at Mrs. Mi and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
The old lady waved her hand, "Just now Mr. Rong from Zuo Tongzheng came over to chat with me for a few words. He mentioned Ayao, so I asked out of curiosity."
"Ah..." Mi Xiayao replied thoughtfully.
Mi Hanhai glanced at his daughter and felt that there was something else the other party was hiding that she had not told him.
But since the old lady was still present, Mi Hanhai couldn't continue to ask further questions, so he could only leave it alone for now.
Pei Xingyuan happened to return to his seat, and the birthday banquet officially began.
Princess Yongning sat down in the main seat, and after a speech thanking everyone for coming to the princess mansion to celebrate her birthday, the birthday celebration was over.
Immediately afterwards, came the gift report.
The father-in-law held the list of congratulatory gifts registered today in his hand. He read them one by one and placed the items on the table.
There were some big objects in front of them, and they were put up one by one for display. After Princess Yongning named them and expressed her gratitude for her love, she took them down one by one.
When Mi Xiayao's gift was brought up, Mrs. Mi at the round table was shocked by the clothes on the rack.
Then Mrs. Mi looked towards her, including everyone present.
"Qingzhou Mi family in Qingying Lane gave me a set of red plum early winter chiffon gown and sleeve skirt——"
Men don't think this gift is very valuable, and some even think it's a little unreasonable for a woman to give her some clothes like this, right?
But when those who know the goods see the chiffon fabric, their eyes light up.
Princess Yongning stood up and walked towards the clothes rack. The clothes were unfolded, and the embroidery on them could be seen more clearly.
The embroidery is dense and the colors are bright and varied. The overall color scheme is fresh and refined but not too simple.
This set of clothes can be said to have completely hit the heart of Princess Yongning.
Mi Xiayao had once seen the eldest princess through a bead curtain. Now she looked up from her seat at the round table and saw the graceful eldest princess caressing her clothes.
Say three good words in a row.
Anyone who knows Princess Yongning knows this habit. Once she praises her with the simplest words many times, it is His Highness's recognition of this person.
Pei Xingyuan turned around and looked at Mi Xiayao in shock and satisfaction.
"Whatever you do always makes me feel bright."
"Then you see less and see less. See more big scenes."
Although Mi Xiayao didn't look at him, she hit the nail on the head. It could be said that she stuffed back all the words that Pei Xingyuan was about to say.
He had long been accustomed to it. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and lowered his voice, "That's right. Boss Mi, could you please take me to see big events in the future?"
"You know, I don't care about money but people."
"Tsk."
Pei Xingyuan touched the tip of his nose happily and sat up straight.
After Princess Yongning on the high platform admired this set of clothes, she turned to look at Mi Xiayao in the seat.
"Miss Mi, where did you find such good fabrics and embroidery techniques?"
This is what I said...
If she didn't do this now, Mi Xiayao felt that she would regret it for the rest of her life.
After her name was called, she stood up in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, this is a ready-made garment made from fabrics from Yuelailou sold by a folk girl. Since this dress was made with only the appearance in mind, if it is to be worn on the body, it needs to be cut by a folk girl."
Her words were magnanimous and generous. When the women present heard this, they turned to look at each other. No need to say anything, the other party knew what they were going to do.
Just when Princess Yongning was satisfied with her considerate arrangements, several eldest ladies from the Marquis Palace in front of the round table were somewhat dissatisfied.
"A small shop with no name in the capital just wants to give it to His Highness to wear. If His Highness does anything bad, can you guys withstand it?"
What she said was quite arrogant and domineering. This woman from a noble family had an arrogant aura, and at first glance she was the most arrogant woman in the family.
She looked at Mi Xiayao arrogantly, the contempt in her eyes was too clear.
When Pei Xingyuan saw the man talking, he leaned slightly closer to Mi Xiayao and reminded in a low voice: "This is the direct granddaughter of Marquis Yongyi. Marquis Yongyi was once a comrade who accompanied His Majesty in winning battles. Now he is also in the capital.
He is a highly respected military commander, but this is the only girl in the family, her name is Miao Qi, please feel free to scold her."
Mi Xiayao:......
She was not used to such an arrogant little girl, "If I can't stand it, it's not your head. Isn't it still up to Princess Yongning to see what she wants?"
Miao Qi didn't expect that she would dare to openly quarrel with her.
Miao Qi stood up with a loud sound, and with the sound of jade beads on his body clashing, Miao Qi said loudly: "How dare you contradict me! Someone is here!"
With that said, Miao Qi asked the nanny behind him to capture Mi Xiayao.
Seeing that the seats were about to become chaotic, Mr. Mi even tried to stand up at all costs.
Princess Yongning frowned and said, "Miss Miao, today is my birthday."
The nun of the Miao Mansion here is halfway there, neither moving forward nor retreating.
Mr. Mi is a civil servant and has a place in the cabinet.
It's not that Princess Yongning is afraid of offending civil servants or military attachés, she just doesn't want to have any conflicts under her nose on her birthday.
"Miss Mi, I like your gift very much. My birthday will be over soon, so why don't you come to the backyard?"
"yes."
Mi Xiayao did not continue to quarrel with Miao Qi. The other party was just a child who was immature and immature. There was no need for her to argue with a child who couldn't talk enough.
This matter was suppressed by the eldest princess, and Master Mi still looked a little unhappy.
Princess Yongning saw this and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Mi has been resting in the mansion recently. I originally wanted to have more people and more excitement for my birthday. You won't mind, right?"
"His Highness invited me here, it is a blessing for me, so I don't mind."
The masters exchanged moves and a few words, and the storm was settled.
But Miao Qi still glanced at Mi Xiayao with hatred.
