The grand ceremony is approaching
Because of the dean's suppression, this matter is also over.
This time, Ji Mi's methods were indeed a little too much, and neither Bao'er nor Hua Rongying could accept it.
But Ji Mi doesn't have time to care about these now, she is now fully engaged in illusion, but her progress is only so slow, and sometimes she is so angry that she wants to give up.
At one point, Bai Er also laughed at her, saying that she had no talent for learning illusions. But Ji Mi is a person who does not admit defeat, and the more others say that she can't do it, the more she wants to make some achievements.
Today, Ji Mi practiced with Bai Er in the dean's secret room, but she failed, Ji Mi looked frustrated, "Why can't I do it right, it's obviously according to what you said." She had a headache from practice, and sighed with one hand on her forehead.
Bai Er didn't know what the problem was, he had tried Ji Mi, and his talent for illusion was indeed average, but he wouldn't be unsuccessful after practicing for so long.
She didn't want to practice anymore today, so she took back her white ears and left the secret room alone. Dean Guo saw her haggard appearance and knew that the practice was not going well, so he stepped forward and patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Don't be in a hurry, take your time." β
Ji Mi barely pulled out a smile, and only after returning to the dormitory did she feel relaxed, every day in this academy she stretched a string, dragging her tired body back and forth in various chambers every day.
"Chiyo Mu, Chiyo Mu, although you are busy, but you can take the time to come and see me..." Ji Mi was talking to herself alone in the room, and suddenly felt that the temperature around her had risen a lot, and there seemed to be an extra person behind her.
Chiyo Mu stretched out her arms and wrapped her arms around this little cutie who kept thinking about it, "Isn't this coming?" It turns out that Mi'er thinks so much about me when I'm not there. Chiyo Mu took Ji Mi's hand and sat on the bed, I haven't seen him for a few days, why is his baby so haggard.
"Thin." Chiyomu rubbed her face with her hand, "Did you encounter something troublesome?" "How did this Bai Er take care of her, didn't she tell him to protect Mi'er well.
Ji Mi sighed, took Chiyomu's hand and held it in his hand, "It's nothing, it's just that I can't learn illusion well, I feel so stupid." β
Alas-Chiyo Mu sighed helplessly, "Why do you always put so much pressure on yourself, take your time, the illusion is definitely not in a hurry." "How is it the same as what the master said, Ji Mi muttered and turned his back.
"Okay, I'll accompany Mi'er in the academy in the future, okay?" Ji Mi didn't believe his words, and refused to look at him arrogantly, "Then how do you handle official business?" β
She really doesn't like the person she cares about to appear and disappear for a few days, which makes her very insecure, at least let her know where he is, whether he will be in danger, and whether he is doing well. Otherwise, she really can't rest assured.
"Someone will give me the folds to be dealt with, Mi'er, don't worry, as long as it's not a major event that I have to do in the future, I will stay with you and never go anywhere." Hearing him say this, Ji Mi was willing to give up, on the one hand, she was moved by his intimacy, and on the other hand, she was despised.
As he said, Chiyo Mu teaches in the academy on weekdays, handles official business every night, eats three meals a day with Ji Mi and them, and even Hua Langying laughs at Chiyo Mu from time to time for being Ji Mi's follower.
But every time, Chiyo Mu smiled kindly and told them that he couldn't rest assured that Ji Mi was not at ease.
The people around him are all in pairs, even Bao'er and Fengyuan Dao. Although the two usually have very little intersection, they can still see the sweetness of the two people from some small interactions.
Hua Rongying is a little envious of Ji Mi and Bao'er, when will she meet a person who loves herself like this and doesn't want anything.
"Mi'er, don't just eat meat." Chiyo Mu sandwiched a piece of boiled cabbage in Ji Mi's bowl, and every time she had to tell her to eat more vegetables than just meat, but this girl always couldn't listen.
Ji Mi is a carnivore, but she doesn't want to touch vegetables, and swallowed the vegetable leaves with a disgusted face under Chiyomu's gaze, "It's still delicious meat." Saying that, the chopsticks stretched out to the braised pork again, "Meat~~"
Chiyo Mu was quick to move, and took away a plate of braised pork in front of Ji Mi's eyes and put it in the distance, "You can't just eat meat." "Don't listen to what you say, Chiyo Mu can only look at Ji Mi seriously.
Sure enough, she ate this set, seeing that Chiyo Mu was angry, the chopsticks in her hand turned around and stretched out to the three fresh, and she ate three bowls of rice with tears on this plate of three fresh, and in the end, she successfully ate it.
"Hiccup-" After a while, "Hiccup-" Ji Mi rubbed her stomach and kept hiccups, "I knew HiccupβI didn't eat so many burps-" Chiyo Muzhen didn't know what to do with her, as long as she stayed by her side, she would become extremely willful. But what can I do, I am willing to spoil ......
Ji Mi's amount of food, fortunately, they have to move every day, otherwise they will definitely become fat pigs.
Even she thinks it's weird, she usually doesn't eat so much, why do you want to eat so much these days, won't ......
"Mi Mi! I heard from the director of the academy that it will be the Five Kingdoms Festival soon! "What? What is the Five Kingdoms Festival? Hua Langying knew that she had never heard of her when she looked at her like this, and explained to her: "The Five Kingdoms Festival is a continental event once every five years!" The elites of various countries gathered in our northern month for a high-end magic exchange, and only dignitaries and their children would be invited. After thinking about it, Hua Lianying added, "But ordinary magnates can't do it, they must also have prominent families and people with a face on the mainland." β
The gathering of the upper class, Ji Mi was clear, but she still didn't understand something, "Why can only prominent and famous families be invited?" β
"It's my first time participating, so I can't come because I'm not old enough. You must be 12 years old to receive an invitation. So I listened to my mother a lot of things. Ji Mi is not interested in this so-called grand ceremony, anyway, the final nature is still the same, a blind date in disguise.
Hua Rongying tilted her head to look at Ji Mi, "Mi Mi, you don't seem to be excited." "But there's nothing to be excited about when you think about it, Mi Mi is now half of the fiancΓ©e of the divine envoy, she will definitely be invited if she wants to go or not, but it's her business whether to go or not. Hua Rongying held Ji Mi's arm, not to mention how excited he was, maybe he could still see him~
Bah! Why did I think of that decrepit man again, but my face still couldn't help but flush.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day before the festival began.
Hua Rongying is right, Ji Mi is now on her own, and she is not invited, but she is a god and a good person, so she naturally has preferential treatment. The people on the Xiangfu side are not so lucky, the Ji family has not been established in Beiyue for a long time, and they have no right to participate, but Ji Yue also has privileges because she is Bai Qingya's first apprentice.
"Miss Mi......" The porter opened the door when he heard the sound, and what he saw was the young lady who had broken away from the Prime Minister's Mansion. can think of the relationship between Chiyo Mu, and they all respectfully invited Ji Mi in.
When I went, the family was sitting together drinking tea, "Yo, isn't this Sister Mi?" Why do you have time today? "The first to speak was Ji Xiang, after such a long time, the annoyance has not passed.
On the contrary, Ji Ya got up and sat down with Ji Mi in her place, and ordered someone to make tea again, "Sister Mi, why is she free today?" Isn't it to prepare for the extravaganza? "After all, it's a super feast once every five years, and it's fake to say that you don't want to go, when she and Ji Xiang mentioned the grand ceremony, their eyes lit up without exception, but they quickly went out again. Not long after the Prime Minister's Mansion was based in Beiyue, it was a great honor for Ji Wuyang and Ji Yue to go, and their daughters couldn't go.
Ji Mi held Ji Xiang's hand and pulled her to sit beside her, "I'm here today for this matter." She motioned for Laurel to take out her things, and when she saw clearly, Ji Ya almost didn't jump out of her chair.
"It's... This is... Is this a gala invitation? Ji Ya's hand holding the invitation was shaking, even her voice was shaking, and she opened the invitation in disbelief, and her name was written on it.
Hearing her words, even the eldest lady and Ji Xiang felt incredible, and the two looked at the invitation in her hand with greed.
Ji Mi looked at her happy appearance and smiled with satisfaction: "Be happy, sister will tell you better news, okay?" β
Ji Ya nodded again and again, she was so excited that she couldn't speak, and she could only tell Ji Mi with her body how excited she was.
"My sister also ordered someone to make a dress for you to wear tomorrow, and prepared a whole set of pink crystal heads." To say that Ji Xiang and the eldest lady just now were incredible, now everyone present is beginning to be jealous of Ji Ya, even Ji Yue.
The whole set of crystal heads, if you are paired with a crystal craftsman who has worked hard, the value of the whole set is incredible.
was shocked enough, but I didn't expect Ji Mi to finish speaking, "And this, it's for the third aunt." Lan Xiang handed over the exquisite brocade box that she had been holding in her hand to the third aunt.
The third aunt opened the box with a worried heart, "This... This is too precious, Miss Mi... I can't help it. "After seeing the contents of the box, the eldest lady's eyes are about to fall off, you don't want me!
Even the third aunt, who was usually like a water, was so excited that she couldn't say anything, and Ji Yue was also curious about what was inside, but unfortunately she couldn't see where she was sitting.
"Sister Mi, this is really too valuable, just a small piece of mutton fat white jade is worth a lot of silver, not to mention this, two bracelets, a pendant and a pair of earrings, it's really too valuable sister, my aunt and I can't accept it." Ji Ya closed the box and wanted to return it to Ji Mi.
But I heard Yuegui say: "Miss Ya's head dress was prepared by Miss." But the jade ornaments in this box are a thank you gift from our lords. Her words stunned everyone present.
They all know that Laurel is a person under the divine envoy, so isn't the adult in her mouth Chiyomu? Chiyo Mu has nothing to thank the third aunt.
"That's right. This is what Zixun asked me to bring. Ji Mi smiled and said to the third aunt: "Zixun thank you for taking care of me over the years, there have been many times when Ah Mi has had a difficult time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is my sister and aunt who have taken care of Ah Mi today, so Zi Xun and I want to thank you for taking care of me over the years." Saying that, Ji Mi took the laurel orchid fragrance and bowed deeply to the third aunt.
She will not forget the difficult time of the original owner, and the third aunt relieved her urgent need with a bag of private silver. The three sisters chose clothes without the original owner's share, and it was Ji Ya who divided her own clothes to make her a Uesugi to wear.
They may not be able to remember these things, but Ji Mi will definitely treat these two kind family members well in place of the original owner.
"Miss Mi, don't be like this, torture me." The third aunt was frightened by her bow, and stepped forward to quickly help Ji Mi up, "I didn't expect Miss Mi to remember." "At the beginning, Ji Mi was depressed all day after her mana was exhausted, and the eldest lady asked her subordinates to treat her harshly, as a woman, as a mother who had also raised children, she couldn't bear it, so she let Ya'er take care of her poor sister. I didn't expect her to keep it in her heart......
Ji Mi gently took the hands of the third aunt and Ji Ya, "Of course I remember." Auntie, Ah Mi assures you that she will protect her sister in the future, Ah Mi has it, and her sister will not be less. When her sister reaches the marriageable age, Ah Mi will personally find a lover for her, allow her ten miles of red makeup, and let her marry beautifully. My sister is never allowed to be someone else's concubine. β
Ji Mi knew that the third aunt was most at ease with her daughter, Ji Ya was too soft, she was afraid that she would not be alive in the future and would not be able to take care of her.
Hearing Ji Mi say this, the third aunt was really happier than receiving the mutton fat white jade.
The fate of the concubines is mostly the same, what she is most afraid of is that in the future, Ya'er will become Ji Yue's dowry and become a concubine. If she can't fight Ji Yue anymore, then her daughter's life will be over.
Listening to Ji Mi's assurance today, even if Ya'er can't marry a big family, with Ji Mi, no one will dare to bully her, this breath in her heart is comfortable.
Even with a sigh of relief, there is Ji Ya. These official daughters must have been sent out because of their interests in the end, and Ji Mi's words made her see a bright future.
The three of them sat together to catch up, Yue Gui had no intention of glancing at the greedy eyes of the eldest lady, walked next to the third aunt and said loudly: "Third aunt, my family said that you must put away these things, don't let some greedy villain Xiao think about it." Ji Mi instantly understood what she meant, "Yes, auntie, you must take it away, and it will be in the hands of my sister in the future." If anyone dares to covet her, I will not spare her. β
After speaking, he glanced at the eldest lady and Ji Yue and Ji Xiang with interest. Don't think that I don't know what the three of you are thinking, this is Aya's mother's thing, dare to try it.
"Third aunt, why don't you come to my place for dinner today, Ah Mi still has a lot to say to you and Sister Ya." Ji Ya looked at the third aunt expectantly when she heard this, hoping that she could also go with her.
It's a good idea, but... The third aunt looked at the eldest lady in embarrassment, "But this..."
The eldest lady felt her gaze and sat up straight instantly, heh, in the end, she had to agree.
Ji Mi understood what she wanted to say, and asked the eldest lady, "Eldest lady, can the third aunt go to my house for a few days?" "On weekdays, it is difficult for the concubine to go out, let alone go to live in other mansions for a few days, of course the eldest lady does not agree.
Okay, since I don't agree, I have to eat here reluctantly, Ji Mi simply sat down, "Okay, Yuegui, you go and tell Zixun, the third aunt has no way to go, so I have to talk in her yard and invite Zixun." β
The third aunt was embarrassed to stop Yuegui, "I can't help it, Miss Mi, how can the noble body of the god envoy go to my little broken courtyard, I can't do it." β
As soon as the eldest lady heard that she was going to invite Chiyo Mu over, she hurriedly released the person, she didn't want to provoke the killing god.
A paper tiger with a strong inner fray. As soon as she relented, Ji Mi left without saying a word, taking the third aunt and Ji Ya away.
On the way, I was still reminiscing about the-like expression of the eldest lady when she heard Chiyomu's name just now, "Hahaha, it's so funny, Aya, don't you see her expression just now." β
How could you not see it, Ji Ya laughed along, "Of course I saw it!" It's so fun for her, or my sister has a way. β
Ji Mi's change is too big, the third aunt smiled and watched the two sisters frolicking, thinking of the days before she entered the house, although it was not satisfactory, but fortunately, she was free. She only begged Ji Ya not to be tied by marriage in the future.
"The two young ladies are back~" As soon as he stepped into Ji's mansion, Chang'an didn't know where to come out of nowhere and scared Ji Ya.
"The third aunt is also here, it's so good and lively, the adults are waiting, come in Miss." Chang'an kept urging Ji Mi in the back, and Ji Mi was annoyed by her quarrel and threatened to beat her.
Chang An covered his head and made a face at Ji Mi and hurriedly ran away.
The Ji Mansion was full of joy, the atmosphere was very good, and the Xiangfu was so different, Ji Ya was envious, "Sister, you are much more comfortable than the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone has a smile on their faces, unlike the Xiangfu who is lifeless and not angry at all." "Who says it's not, the third aunt doesn't like that prime minister's mansion either, it's big, but it's a pity that it's not popular.
"Come as often as you like, the door will always be open for you." Ji Mi pulled one in one hand, and by then all the meals had been placed, and Chiyo Mu was also sitting on the upper seat waiting.
Seeing Ji Mi coming in, he immediately got up and pulled out a chair for her, "Mi'er sit." Mrs. Zhong and my sister also sit, and we will chat while eating when the dishes are ready. β
The two were surprised by Chiyo Mu's love for Ji Mi, they only knew that he doted on her, but they never knew that they were spoiled to this extent. The third aunt was a little uncomfortable with the new title, and said embarrassedly: "Don't lift me up, my lord, what kind of lady am I." β
"Mrs. Zhong takes such good care of Mi'er, Zixun should respect you. This is the Ji Mansion, not the Prime Minister's Mansion, each with its own opinion. Just call me Zixun. Chiyo Mu's posture was extremely low, he heard a lot of things about the mother and daughter from Mi'er's mouth, and sincerely thanked them for their help.
Ji Ya heard Chiyo Mu call her sister, and couldn't help blurting out, "Brother-in-law..." Ji Mi also put down her chopsticks and slapped Ji Ya's hand with one hand, "What brother-in-law!" β
"I think that's a good name." Chiyo Mu enjoyed this brother-in-law very much, the smile on his face never disappeared, the meal was full of laughter, Ji Ya and the third aunt liked Ji Fu more.
After eating, Ji Mi took the mother and daughter to eat in the back garden, this garden is taken care of by herself, she doesn't have many hobbies, flowers and plants are one.
After shopping, she took Ji Ya to the bath room designed by herself, "Take a good bath, and tomorrow we will appear at the ceremony in good spirits." β
Ji Ya took off her clothes and soaked in the bathtub that she had prepared long ago, surrounded by subordinates, and only found out after entering.
"It's... Cow's milk? Ji Ya looked at the basin of snow-white liquid in disbelief.
The maid chuckled and wiped her body, "Yes, Miss Aya, this milk was just delivered, and it will be poured in for you after it is boiled hot and let it cool a little." β
Ji Ya couldn't believe her ears and eyes, although it was not surprising to bathe in the official lady with cow's milk, but it was the first time I saw it directly with cow's milk, and the others were mixed with a bucket of cow's milk, and several large buckets of cow's milk here were poured directly, it was too luxurious.
"Miss said, let your skin be white and tender. When you finish soaking, we will take rose petal water to clear your body, and make sure that you are fragrant and smooth. Ji Ya didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only be at their mercy, her sister was too extravagant.
But what she didn't know was that Ji Mi only used clean water to take a bath on weekdays, and she did this for her. I have to say that Ji Ya's life has become surprisingly good because of her kindness.
