After she said these words, Princess Yongning spoke to everyone in a tacit understanding: "This banquet didn't work out, so it's the right time."
With the eldest princess in charge of the overall situation, no one dared to look in Miao Qi's direction.
There was lingering fear in everyone's eyes. Some of them expressed their gratitude that they didn't blindly take sides, while others were just gossiping and wanted to see such an interesting scene one more time.
You know, Miao Qi relied on his Miao family background to show off his power in the capital for many years.
Miao Qi raised his head and stared at the woman in front of him with red eyes.
What kind of support she wanted in Beijing was available everywhere, but she never thought that one day she would be slapped in the face again and again by such a little person who seemed to be ravaged by others.
It was visible to the naked eye that Miao Qi's face, which was fair just now, turned red instantly.
She was furious and had no face to retort. In the end, she could only dare not say a word and rushed out of the vegetarian banquet with tears in her eyes.
Miao Qi's little followers didn't dare to sit for a while longer at the vegetarian banquet, and they didn't have the time to do it.
The circle around Mi Xiayao was empty.
Without Miao Qi here, the remaining girls from aristocratic families who were not as high as Mi Xia Yao in the Su Zhai Banquet came forward one after another, hoping to make friends with Mi Xia Yao later.
But Zhu Xiuxiu now took on the responsibility of protecting her. With her status in the new family, she frightened some women who came to flatter her with bad intentions.
This vegetarian banquet suddenly became a social occasion for Mi Xiayao.
After finally staying up until the end of the show, Princess Yongning walked up to her and smiled before leaving, "It's still a small scene today. When the news reaches the capital, there will always be people from your clan and even the surrounding neighbors who come to visit.
of."
This was the tip given to her by the eldest princess.
Mi Xiayao responded with a smile, then her eyebrows deepened and she held the wine glass in her hand.
The next day, the Buddha was worshipped. Because of the special existence of Mi Xia Yao, the Queen Mother issued a decree and let her go back to the capital to receive the official seal from the Ministry of Rites.
When we returned to the small courtyard next to Mi Mansion, people from the Ministry of Rites were already waiting at the door.
She took a quick glance from the carriage and saw Duan Honglin at the head of the Rites Department.
Looking at this scumbag, her eyes deepened, but she got off the carriage with a calm face.
Upon seeing this, the leader, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, respectfully said to her, "Hello, female officer."
Mi Xiayao is also a person who understands etiquette. She dealt with Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites with ease, "Master Zuo Shilang, please don't be polite. According to your official rank, you are the senior female official."
As the Bieyuan was opened by Mi Hanhai, he looked at the huge formation at the door and was dumbfounded for a moment.
Mi Xiayao Banxu helped her father into the house, and the father and daughter briefly looked at each other.
The left minister of the Ministry of Rites turned his head and said to Siwu Duan behind him: "Go and put the official uniforms and the jade Ruyi that His Majesty has given to you on the table."
Duan Honglin held the jade Ruyi held by his father-in-law behind him in his hand.
Mi Xiayao looked directly at Duan Honglin, and even followed Duan Honglin as he placed her jade Ruyi on the table.
Mi Xiayao frowned fiercely as she just took her hand away from Yu Ruyi, regardless of what the other party was going to do next.
"Sir, is this secretary a new official?" She pointed at Duan Honglin and asked the left minister of the Ministry of Rites in turn.
Zuo Shilang was stunned for a moment. He took a quick look at the jade arrangement on the table, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Mr. Mi, this person was previously transferred to Jingzhou City..."
Before Zuo Shilang finished speaking, Mi Xiayao raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of smile, "That means he is an experienced official. He doesn't even know the most basic rules for placing rewards.
If you say this, who can believe it?"
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites is a talented person, and his climb to this position did not rely on smooth sailing.
Soon he heard what Mi Xiayao meant about this Duan Siwu.
He immediately changed his attitude and scolded Duan Honglin with a cold eyebrow: "How did you do this! Miss Mi is a sixth-grade official appointed by His Majesty. To act so hastily is to disgrace our Ministry of Etiquette!"
"Ah - this could be the Secretary Duan." Mi Xiayao's acting skills are comparable to those of the great actors in Zuixianglou.
She looked at Duan Honglin with slightly shocked eyebrows and saw that he didn't even dare to fart in front of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.
There was an almost sarcastic smile deep in her beautiful eyes.
The left minister of the Ministry of Rites asked quickly: "Does Miss Mi know him?"
"We know each other. How could we not know each other? We just met a few days ago. At the Golden Buddha Temple, the man from the Ministry of Rites he was leading hit the female official."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites suddenly changed.
"Why don't you quickly place the jade Ruyi facing the palace, kneel down and apologize to this female official!"
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites usually dislikes Duan Honglin.
He had done a good job in this position of secretary, but suddenly one day he was parachuted in as the secretary of the department and took his position, causing him to lose several points in the recent competition for political achievements with the right minister.
He was already troubled by this period of administrative affairs, but today he saw that the newly appointed official Mi was not happy with him either.
Borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha killed two birds with one stone. It was a perfect opportunity, and of course he would not give it up.
After he scolded him, Duan Honglin was just a ninth-grade clerk, and he really wanted to go against Zuo Shilang, a third-grade servant.
It's just that someone really got caught.
Duan Honglin raised his head and looked at Mi Xiayao with anger in his eyes, and suddenly clenched his hands under his wide sleeves.
Under the smile in Mi Xiayao's eyes, he was like a thorn, and his knees felt dry as never before at this moment.
Until it touched the ground, the dignity in Duan Honglin's heart collapsed.
Mi Xiayao lowered her head to look down at the man kneeling in front of her, and smiled silently.
The left minister of the Ministry of Rites quickly asked the remaining people to carefully arrange the official uniforms, official seals and jade ruyi according to the rules.
"Does Miss Mi have any other instructions?"
Mi Xiayao looked up at him and said with innocent eyes, "This Secretary Duan doesn't seem to have spoken yet."
The left minister of the Ministry of Rites was touched by his gaze, and he was suddenly surprised. He had always heard that the newly appointed female official Mi Siyi had a beautiful appearance and a unique temperament in her.
Now that their eyes met, they were really shocked by her spontaneous charm that came from deep within.
"Hong Lin, please apologize to Miss Mi!" He quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to scold Duan Honglin, trying to cover up his gaffe just now.
Duan Honglin clenched his back teeth, and his cheeks were compressed for an instant visible to the naked eye.
It seemed like a century had passed. Duan Honglin lowered his voice, as if he was slurring his words, "It's my fault. Please forgive me, female officer."
"You don't have a tongue!" Zuo Shilang's eyelids twitched and he said with dissatisfaction.
But at this moment, Mi Xiayao actually stopped the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
"Sir, this secretary seems to have always had a problem with female officials... If not, I'll ask him what the grudge is between us."
There was something in her words, and the left minister of the Ministry of Rites suddenly realized it and quickly left the garden with his people.
