Xia Mi had just entered the General's Mansion on the front foot, and Concubine Liu's reward on the back foot had arrived at the General's Mansion. Smiled and gave two pieces of silver, Xia Mi watched the housekeeper send the eunuch out of the door, and then he restrained the smile on his face.

Chess is a risky move, but it is still a stupid approach. It seems that Concubine Liu is panicking.

Pinching the list of gifts left by the eunuch, Xia Mi's fingers tapped on the table. The queen is not Chu Li's mother, but she must be cautious about the selection of the crown princess. Within three days, the ladies in Beijing received a summons from the queen inviting them to enjoy the flowers.

The choice of the crown princess is not like the general election of the show girl, and there are no flowers to appreciate in the late autumn season at the moment. Therefore, when the post went down to the various mansions, everyone knew that this was going to choose a concubine for the crown prince. The Liu family tentatively handed the news to Concubine Liu, and after receiving a positive answer, her mind immediately became active.

Concubine Liu is Chu Li's mother, and the Liu family is his foreign family. The head of the Liu family is Concubine Liu's own brother, who was just a minor official from the fifth grade, but he didn't expect his sister to compete and soar to the sky.

Fortunately, he is not old and confused, until the help of the Xia family is indispensable in the middle. Therefore, when all parties came to inquire about the news, they all said that it was the side concubine.

When everyone heard this, they naturally thought that the position of the concubine was already in the bag of Xia Miao.

Although Xia Mi returned to Beijing this time, the people he raised did not eat for nothing. This news has only been out for half a day, and it has entered Xia Mi's ears.

"Miss, now that the old master and the young master are not in Beijing, how can this matter be ......?"

Sending off the staff, Hongliu, who has been serving Xia Mi since childhood, is a little worried. Capturing the melancholy in her eyes, Xia Mi's eyes warmed, "Don't worry too much, this matter is still expected." ”

That being said, the post invited by the queen finally went down to the mansion. Pinching the red post and looking at it for a long time, Xia Mi glanced at the housekeeper with a serious face beside him, "Who have received the queen's post today?" ”

She was sitting in the pavilion at this time, with an extremely wide view around her, and she was not afraid of anyone eavesdropping. The housekeeper knew this, but he still lowered his voice and said, "The second daughter of the Ministry of Rites, the granddaughter of Mrs. Liu, and you." ”

The red lips pursed slightly, Xia Mi nodded to indicate that he was clear, the housekeeper didn't say anything more, and retreated directly after saluting.

There are many rules in the palace, and the last ones are often the most valued. Xia Mi knew this, and the others naturally knew better. With the news of the Liu family, even the two young ladies who received the post last like Xia Mi did not have much expectations for the position of the crown princess, and they all wanted to be selected as the side concubine.

The day of entering the palace was beautiful and beautiful, and it was a rare good weather. Visiting the queen, she naturally couldn't wear court clothes, so she had to find a few sets of skirts at the bottom of the box. Hongliu took a few sets of clothes and gestured excitedly, excited that her young lady could finally marry her sweetheart.

"Miss, how about this outfit?"

Hearing Hongliu's question, Xia Mi glanced up at the clothes. The pink light red is carefully embroidered with a pattern, and you can tell that it can make people look good after wearing it. With a sigh in her heart, Xia Mi glanced at the red willow and beckoned to her.

Although full of doubts, Hongliu still walked over.

"Miss?"

The slightly questioning end note explained the uneasiness in her heart, for some reason, she always felt that her young lady's demeanor looked a little heavy, as if it was ...... It's like ten years old in an instant.

Whatever she thought in her heart, it was written on her face. Xia Mi sighed again in her heart, she had been a princess for two years and a queen for five years in her last life, and Hongliu lost her life in the second year she married Chu Li. At that time, she only thought that Hongliu had accidentally ingested the decoction, but now that she looks at it, maybe Hongliu's death is also related to Chu Li.

Xia Mi knew that there must be some wrong guesses in his thoughts, but he still couldn't restrain his inner thoughts. Reluctantly suppressing the killing intent in her heart, she raised her hand and touched the soft broken hair on Hongliu's forehead, "Stay away from the prince in the future." ”

Looking up in amazement, Hongliu wanted to see something from her young lady's face. Helplessly, Xia Mi's cover-up was so good that she didn't see anything. However, she has always put Xia Mi first, so naturally it will not make much sense.

After calming down, she asked, "Miss, what are you wearing for today's flower viewing banquet?" ”

Hongliu has always been calm, seeing this, Xia Mi calmed down, thought for a moment, she stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of a set of clothes. Hongliu looked up, but found that the dress was a set of goose yellow skirts, simply embroidered with a few delicate flowers, and it only felt plain from a distance.

I roughly knew what my young lady meant, and Hongliu waited for my young lady to dress without saying a word, and then combed her hair with quick movements.

It wasn't until Xia Mi buckled her purse and was about to go out that Hongliu asked lately: "Miss, did you quarrel with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

In his previous life, he couldn't tell others all kinds of things, Xia Mi straightened out the clothes on his body, and smiled with a pair of peach blossom eyes, "You will be clear in the future, don't think about it now." ”

After that, without waiting for Hongliu to answer, she directly pushed open the door and walked out.

The flower-viewing banquet is prepared in the warm pavilion of the Fengyi Palace, although the flower-viewing is just an excuse, the work on the surface is still to be done. Therefore, when Xia Mi entered the warm pavilion with the palace people, what caught his eye was all kinds of precious flowers. However, although the appearance is complicated, the floral fragrance is unexpectedly very good.

Obviously, these flowers are carefully selected.

The room was full of official ladies, and the palace people were obviously afraid that they would collide with people, so they just buried their heads in Xia Mi and took Xia Mi to their seats all the way. It wasn't until Xia Mi sat down firmly that she found that her position was different from everyone's.

Even the young lady of the Ministry of Rites and the Taifu family sat down in a regular manner, but her seat was set on the side of you-

It looked as if she had come to help the queen see each other.

All the young ladies obviously had the same idea as Xia Mi, and when they saw her sit up, they all put on the posture of an official lady, and their every move was just right.

borrowed a teacup to cover his face, but Xia Mi's half-hung eyes had an unpredictable look. At present, this appearance almost tells everyone that she, the crown princess, is predetermined. But thinking of the identity of the empress and the look on the emperor's face when he left, Xia Mi felt that he should wait.

This waited, not for too long, but when there was a cup of tea, the queen in a phoenix robe came out of the apse.

When they saw this, they immediately bowed down and saluted.

The well-maintained queen waved her hand to signal everyone to get up, and then reached out to take Xia Mi's hand.
