Mi Xiayao's congratulatory gift was just a small interlude, and there were several other congratulatory gifts later. After the subjects had sent nearly all their congratulatory gifts, the finale was the congratulatory gift from the royal family.
But after the Princess Yongning asked her by name just now, the words Mi Xiayao and Yuelai Lou became popular among this group of noble people.
Even those enemies who had never dealt with the Miao family came directly to Mi Xiayao in front of Miao Qi, and had a very interesting chat with the other party with a smile.
For example, this girl is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her hair is covered with red hairpins.
Mi Xiayao knew a little bit about her.
This girl's surname is Zhu, and her family is also a military general. Her father is a slightly more famous general in the later Qi Dynasty. General Zhu is still guarding the border, which is different from the Miao military generals who have begun to retire in Beijing.
One is a new general who is rising up, and the other is an old general who is waiting to retire.
"My name is Zhu Xiuxiu, and my father is General Zhaoyong." The girl has a cheerful personality, and she carelessly moved a round stool to sit on it. "My sister just said that to Miao Qi, which really made people happy!"
The little girl is outspoken and quick-hearted.
She looked at Mi Xiayao with admiration, "I have long disliked Miao Qi. She walks coyly and doesn't look like a martial artist!"
Pei Xingyuan glanced at the little girl.
Mi Xiayao looked at Zhu Xiuxiu with a smile, neither denying what the other party said nor expressing too much agreement.
Zhu Xiuxiu was the first one to come over and surround her. When some girls from aristocratic families saw someone taking the lead, they also ran over one after another.
Some people came to ask about Yue Lailou, while others speculated that she would be a popular person next to Princess Yongning in the future. They just wanted to flatter her.
There were too many women, and Pei Xingyuan, who was sitting in the crowd, felt somewhat embarrassed.
Zhu Xiuxiu speaks straightforwardly, holding a wine glass in her hand. Every time she agrees with Mi Xiayao, she will make a toast.
Gradually, the little girl's complexion turned red, and it was obvious to the naked eye that she was too drunk.
"Sister Mi, you can't get drunk no matter what." Zhu Xiuxiu hugged the wine bottle tightly, her eyes half-squinted with tipsy tips.
When she looked at Mi Xiayao, there was a double image in her eyes.
"This is just some fruit wine. I won't be able to stop drinking for a while."
Mi Xiayao looked helplessly at the little girl in front of her, who was speaking inarticulately into the air.
"How could this be possible... I was drinking with my brother and the others in the military camp, and I could last several rounds!"
Zhu Xiuxiu pretended to pour another glass of wine.
Mi Xiayao grabbed it eagerly. She looked at her grandfather sitting beside her and said, "I will send Miss Zhu to the Zhu family first."
Master Mi waved his hand, but Mrs. Mi stared at Mi Xiayao thoughtfully.
Princess Yongning's birthday was about to begin, but General Zhaoyong's beloved daughter was already drunk and unconscious.
The eldest princess, who learned about the incident on the high platform, personally came down from the high platform and walked to the round table where the Zhu family was sitting to express her condolences.
The Zhu family first expressed their apologies to Mi Xiayao. The eldest princess was originally worried that the Zhu family would make things difficult for Mi Xiayao.
Princess Yongning looked at her with an unclear expression, paused for a moment and then turned back to the high platform.
The birthday banquet lasted for another half an hour.
Mi Xiayao was chatting with Mi's father about the later arrangements for the tavern.
There was a sudden commotion at the main entrance of the courtyard, and then I saw my father-in-law walking in with Buddha dust in his hand.
Before Princess Yongning could react on the high platform, the father-in-law at the front door raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived - the Third Prince has arrived -"
When the big shot comes, the people sitting at the round table will certainly not dare to sit down.
As the elder, Princess Yongning looked at the two juniors with a gentle smile and personally assigned seats for them to sit.
Through the crowd, Mi Xiayao saw the slightly weaker man next to Prince Qin Qiao.
She had never met the third prince in her previous life.
When she and the Duan family fought hard to enter the capital, Pei Xingyuan had already found the young imperial concubine out of nowhere, and the third prince and the prince had already been defeated.
Later... Pei Xingyuan became the little noble concubine and the regent personally appointed by the little emperor, and became a prince with a surname other than Da Qi.
Just as her mind was constantly recalling information about the outside world from her previous life, Pei Xingyuan noticed that the woman next to her was staring at her.
"After watching the Third Prince, come see me. It's really easy for me to think too much."
He half-squinted his red and phoenix eyes, which were full of secret pride.
Mi Xiayao had never heard such ridiculous words before, and immediately gave the other party a blank stare.
"The Third Prince, a gentle and gentle person, is not the same type as you, who keeps a little blood on his hands all day long, okay?"
She deliberately angered Pei Xingyuan and even specifically picked out the other person for comparison.
Sure enough, the man's eyes immediately darkened.
"So you like the Third Prince?!"
"So what?"
She glanced at the other person.
When Pei Xingyuan heard this answer, he felt his heart tightening suddenly, and even the strength of holding the wine glass involuntarily increased.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two people suddenly became gloomy.
Just when Mi Xiayao thought he had been hit, she was hesitating whether to give him a sweet date.
Pei Xingyuan touched his back alveolar with the tip of his tongue and sneered silently, all the gloominess in his eyes unfolded.
"Then let's see if he can survive until the day you marry him."
The words were said in an eerie tone, and Mi Xiayao was frightened by his low-pressure voice for the first time.
While she was still trying to figure out what Pei Xingyuan meant by what he said, the prince's voice sounded loud and clear on the high platform.
"I see that most of the people in this seat are young people, which reminds me of what someone said a few days ago.
"In recent years, the trend of marrying later has become more and more popular in Daqi. This has seriously affected the speed of raising newborns in Daqi."
Princess Yongning looked sideways at her nephew, and her tapping movements on the handrail became slower and slower.
Prince Qin Qiao looked at the imperial aunt with a proud smile.
"Why don't you take advantage of this time that everyone is here and the elders in the family are here to order a kiss on the spot?"
As soon as the confused words came out, the faces of some people in the seats turned gloomy.
Master Mi frowned tightly. He looked at the prince on the high platform and saw that his anger was about to rise.
"Grandpa, mud is always mud. Even if it is covered with a layer of gold, it cannot hide the result that it is shapeless."
Mi Xiayao reminded her grandfather in a low voice at the right moment not to be impulsive.
And just as she turned her head to talk to her elders, Prince Qin Qiao, who was on the high platform, cast his sharp eyes on their table.
Princess Yongning followed the prince's gaze and immediately the gentle smile on her lips lost its warmth.
