Here, Mi Xiayao took over the matter of the official seal sent by the Ministry of Rites, but because the secretary of the Ministry of Rites did not do well, she was thrown out of the mansion in embarrassment.
It spread rapidly throughout the capital.
Even the emperor in the palace heard the news.
In the imperial study today, the emperor, who was rather big-headed, was sitting on the dragon chair.
In front of him stood Mi Lao and Pei Xingyuan, who was brought over by Mi Laoyi.
It was a secret known to everyone in the court that Pei Xingyuan was cultivated by the Mi family, and the emperor was not surprised.
"Your granddaughter dared to bargain with me that day, and today she dared to make the ninth grade secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette lose her face. Will she be able to come up to me someday and point at my memorial?"
Mi Lao put his hands in his cuffs. He had heard about this a long time ago.
Although Chad thought Mi Xiayao's actions were too ridiculous at first, he soon heard that the ninth-rank secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette was named Duan.
The old man immediately understood and felt relieved.
"Haha," he smiled kindly, and continued the emperor's words, "The little girl Gray is strict and has always been a stickler for words. It's not surprising that she can do such a thing now."
When the emperor heard his intention to protect his shortcomings, his eyebrows jumped sharply.
"Does the cabinet mean to protect this yellow-haired girl?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know something. My daughter married to Jingzhou City a few years ago, and her husband is a young fellow in Jingzhou City. Unfortunately, this fellow is also named Duan."
Once you say this, there is no need to make everything too clear.
The wrinkles on the emperor's brow finally smoothed out a little.
"Then we have to give face to the Daqi officials. After all, the ninth-grade officials are still wearing official uniforms. What will they look like if they are thrown out!"
Since it was a personal enmity, the emperor wanted to turn a blind eye for Mi Lao's sake, so he simply walked down the steps and reprimanded him with some mild words.
Mr. Mi quickly bowed and said yes repeatedly.
"What do you mean by following your kid to the imperial study? Does the cabinet think this matter is serious enough to go to Dali Temple?" The emperor became a little calmer, but he saw Pei Xingyuan standing aside and watching.
He asked again by name.
Mr. Mi said respectfully: "Since my daughter has done this, there should be a beginning and an end. Outsiders don't know the inside story. The cabinet invited Mr. Pei to come over and settle this case."
The emperor's eyebrows twitched fiercely, what kind of case is this!?
Wasn't this just a simple dispute at the beginning?
Upon seeing this, Pei Xingyuan quickly bowed and saluted, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "After the incident at Mifu Bieyuan, I conducted an investigation and found that the ninth-rank section chief of the Ministry of Rites was not clean."
"Oh?" The emperor became interested and motioned to Pei Xingyuan to continue.
"When Duan Siwu was in Jingzhou City, the government office once registered that the official had embezzled money. This incident was even reported voluntarily by the people of Jingzhou City. The search of Duan's mansion was also carried out by the official when he was in Jingzhou City.
"I was also imprisoned in the Jingzhou Yamen Prison at the end of the year. But as I was returning to Beijing after finishing the case related to Jingzhou City, Duan Siwu disappeared in the prison, but soon appeared in the capital, and even parachuted into the Ministry of Rites.
Got into office."
The logic is clear and the evidence is clear.
The emperor's brows suddenly frowned, and he looked deeply in thought for a moment, "Just tell me who is involved in this matter."
"Your Majesty, there is a vacancy in Duan Siwu's official appointment list, but I only know that the Minister of Rites has always strongly recommended Duan Siwu to serve as an official."
Pei Xingyuan only gave such a few clues. If a high-ranking official was involved in the matter, it would be a big or small matter.
He is also smart. When something happens, he will report it along with what happened in Mifu Villa yesterday.
The emperor knocked on the table thoughtfully, and he made up his mind, "I know, but there is a way to deal with the matter. The matter of this female official is now known to everyone in the capital."
What this means is that I want to suppress this matter first.
When Pei Xingyuan heard this, he bowed slightly and stopped mentioning it.
When Mr. Mi saw that the topic had returned to his granddaughter, he coughed dryly.
"This matter..."
"I specifically asked the left minister of the Ministry of Etiquette what happened. It was because the ninth-grade secretary did not arrange the jade Ruyi and so on from the beginning, and it got into trouble. This is a matter that should be handled in the first place, so let's handle it according to the Ministry of Etiquette."
The emperor waved his hand, and the matter was settled.
Mr. Mi didn't have any objections. Anyway, it was not his granddaughter who suffered. This matter, including how to punish the Ministry of Rites, had nothing to do with him.
After Mi Lao and Pei Xingyuan left the royal study, the father-in-law behind him ran out without stopping after receiving the decree. The steward's father-in-law walked out, shaking Fo Chen.
He stood at the door, looked at the two adults, and said with a kind smile: "The Secretary of the Ministry of Rites doesn't know if he has any family background. With this salary, I don't think he will be very comfortable in the New Year this year."
Already."
Mi Lao and Pei Xingyuan looked at each other and responded to the steward's words with a smile.
Wait until they leave the imperial city completely.
Mi Lao suppressed his kind smile and glanced at this apprentice.
"Hanhai specifically told me today that if you are fine after leaving the palace, go to his place."
Mi Lao didn't know the reason, he just remembered it.
Pei Xingyuan didn't know why he suddenly wanted to see him alone. He responded and simply followed Mi Lao to Mi Mansion.
Here, after yesterday's incident, Mi Xiayao gained a reputation for not having a good temper. Suddenly, there were far fewer noble ladies from aristocratic families trying to please and build relationships with her.
Zhu Xiuxiu was sitting in the courtyard with congratulatory gifts.
Xiaobao in the side room was sleepy, and the newly recruited wet nurse hadn't figured out Xiaobao's habits yet, so Mi Xiayao had no choice but to sit in the room with the baby in her arms.
"Sister Mi... I heard someone mention that you were married once... Why didn't anyone tell me that you have a child?"
Zhu Xiuxiu speaks candidly, and she has tried very hard to choose tactful words to say.
Mi Xiayao patted the child's back skillfully, "An old friend asked me to take care of this child first."
Zhu Xiuxiu suddenly realized that she was not interested in this gossip.
"Sister Mi, come and see, this is my gift to you. This spear is specially made according to the strength of a woman. It is most suitable for daily martial arts training. There are also sandbags embroidered with auspicious clouds, which we tie to
I put weight on my feet, and I also thought that Sister Mi is a girl, so I should make something nice for you."
When she talked about her gift, her whole face was radiant, and she even wanted to roll up her sleeves so that Mi Xiayao could quickly experience martial arts training.
Looking at the enthusiastic Zhu Xiuxiu and seeing that she took everything she said to heart, although Mi Xiayao felt warm, she really couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm.
And just at this time, the door of Bieyuan was opened...
