Chapter 17: He's Back

Mi Xia Yao hesitated for a moment, and then asked the coachman to drive along.

The gorgeous carriage took Mi Xia Yao to the door of a simple mansion.

She got out of the carriage and wanted to see who it would be.

Unexpectedly, the coachman drove the carriage away without hesitation, and at the same moment, the simple house was pushed open.

The old housekeeper, who was nearly fifty years old, looked at Mi Xia Yao with kindness on his face, and turned sideways to signal her to enter.

"My master has been waiting for the girl for a long time."

There are not many people who can call her girl in the capital.

It must be strange to her.

Being able to have a stranger take the initiative to find her is not something that has been encountered in the previous life.

She was rarely nervous in her heart, and finally followed the butler into the mansion.

Walk through a long corridor and around the antechamber to a backyard, where the architecture is at odds with the austere style outside.

Extravagant furnishings, showing off how rich the owner of the house is.

Walking into the house, a beaded curtain on the throne concealed her honor.

"You're the girl of the Mi family?"

"Folk woman Mi Xia Yao." She calmly reported her name.

The woman on the throne smiled softly, "My spy told me that you have recently investigated many royal heirs in Beijing, the third prince, the crown prince and the main palace, and you have tried to understand.

"Little girl, you are quite bold enough to dare to do such a thing under the nose of the Son of Heaven."

Having said this, if Mi Xia Yao can't guess what the other party's identity is, then she must have lived in vain.

"The folk girl has seen the eldest princess of Yongning."

The eldest princess of Yongning, the sister of the old emperor, has a difficult status in the capital. He lived in the princess's mansion all the year round and never met anyone.

is such a seemingly low-key eldest princess, when the prince and the third prince were fighting to the death, she didn't know where to find the son of the little concubine, and personally supported the little prince to ascend the throne and become the eldest princess of Yongning.

He once dominated the DPRK and China for a time.

And the reason why Mi Xia Yao dared to investigate her in the capital was to deliberately lure the eldest princess of Yongning to notice her.

"The folk girl is the granddaughter of the scholar of Wenhuadian University, because her grandfather is in prison, as his son, she should do everything she can to save her grandfather and water and fire."

She spoke her mind without reservation and confessed what she had done.

Such a frank appearance made the eldest princess of Yongning feel a little interesting.

The woman behind the bead curtain stood up, stared at each other silently for a long time, and said with a smile: "Lord Mi is a rare loyal minister, and he is also the most educated elder, it is good to have a junior like you who tries his best to make a move." ”

When Mi Xia Yao heard this, she simply knelt down on her knees, knelt down sincerely, and begged in a loud voice: "The folk girl begs the eldest princess, for the sake of grandpa's loyalty and loyalty for half his life, save my grandpa." ”

"This palace doesn't have the ability to save Mi-sama." The eldest princess of Yongning chuckled.

It seems that she has no sympathy and empathy for other people's miserable lives.

Mi Xia Yao's head was buried deeper, "Ask for the eldest princess!" ”

"Tsk." The eldest princess of Yongning snorted lightly, and seemed to be a little helpless for such a stubborn junior.

She quickly raised her voice and said to the people in the side room: "Ah Yuan, this is your teacher's own granddaughter, everyone is begging for this palace, you don't have a soft heart?" ”

As soon as the words of the eldest princess of Yongning fell, the bead curtain collided, and then Mi Xia Yao felt a gust of wind above her head.

When she looked up, she saw a tall and slender man dressed in a blue brocade robe, standing in front of her with one hand behind his back.

It's Pei Xingyuan.

She quickly frowned.

Remembering what those uncles said when they first returned to Mi Mansion, Mi Xia Yao's vigilance suddenly rose.

She stopped kneeling on the ground, and stood up to look at the woman behind the beaded curtain.

"What does Your Highness mean? You invited me here now to see the white-eyed wolf raised by Mi's family? ”

Her cold, unwavering voice revealed the faint anger in her heart.

The woman behind the beaded curtain sighed, "A-Yuan, it seems that there is some misunderstanding between you." ”

Mi Xia Yao heard two "misunderstandings" in one day today. She was a little disgusted by the word.

When Pei Xingyuan heard what she said, he raised his hand with some tears and laughter.

Chen originally thought that after a while, he would talk to her when the master's matter was resolved. Chen didn't expect that you would bring her here today. ”

Mi Xia Yao: "......" is a good trap.

The eldest princess of Yongning snorted lightly, "If this palace doesn't bring her today, she will be able to touch the princess's mansion in this palace tomorrow." ”

When Pei Xingyuan heard this, he turned his head to look at Mi Xia Yao beside him in some surprise.

The party subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

What she said is true, Mi Xia Yao is indeed prepared to prepare a generous gift tomorrow to meet the eldest princess of Yongning.

Since the two parted in Tangzhou, they have not communicated much. This is Pei Xingyuan's second time seeing Mi Xia Yao half a month later.

In the past half a month, the woman has been running back and forth for Lord Mi, and in order to clean up all kinds of difficult eyeliner on the cloth village, the tiredness can be seen at the end of her busy eyes.

He saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

"Okay, this palace is just a matchmaker," the eldest princess of Yongning can distinguish the atmosphere, "Miss Mi, this palace really can't help you now, and the people who can help you are standing in front of you."

"Come on, this palace won't delay the two of you to negotiate."

With that, the eldest princess of Yongning left the room sideways.

This time, there were only two of them left in the house.

Pei Xingyuan raised his hand and clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, he tried to attract Mi Xia Yao to look at him.

But the other party was still immersed in the anger of the white-eyed wolf, and he didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

As a last resort, Pei Xingyuan could only confess.

"When I saw you in Jingzhou City, I recognized you, cough...... I thought you remembered me......"

The man stumbled over something.

He was notoriously arrogant outside, and he was so overwhelmed now.

If his subordinates were there, I'm afraid their jaws would have dropped.

Mi Xia Yao didn't want to listen to these irrelevant contents, so she decisively interrupted what the other party said.

"When my grandfather poured his life's experience to pass on to you, you repaid my grandfather like this?" She went straight to the other party's pain points.

Pei Xingyuan choked on the spot.

He coughed dryly, "I didn't expect you to choke people so much after not seeing you for a few days." ”

"You answer me honestly, you joined the princelings, where did you put my grandfather, what qualifications do you have to call my grandfather Master?"

"I joined the princelings because I had my own bitterness. When I first joined the princelings, I reported to Master in advance.

"Master's imprisonment happened on my way from the capital to Jingzhou City, and I didn't have time to take shelter before it happened.

"Aren't I in a hurry now, rushing back to Beijing, and trying to save my master?"

Pei Xingyuan saw that she had misunderstood, and said the reason in one go.
