Chapter 22: An Untimely Banquet

In the Weiyang Palace, where a banquet was specially set up in the palace, the lights were bright and the heating filled the huge space.

The people invited were all high-ranking and prestigious families in the capital.

The Mi family and this group of people seem a little out of place.

Not long ago, the pillar of the Mi family, Lord Mi, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, was imprisoned for annoying His Royal Highness the Prince.

The Mi family in the capital family has gradually become embarrassed.

But no one seemed to expect that at today's banquet, the Mi family was also on the list of invitees.

"The one in the East Palace won't take a fancy to the girl from the Mi family, right?"

The officials who followed the prince that day knew the inside story, and he couldn't help but talk with his colleagues.

Their eyes brushed together to look at the eldest son of the Mi family who was smiling at the family in the crowd, and their eyes were full of sympathy and pity.

"Haven't you heard of it in the city these days, that girl from the Mi family is a divorced woman who has been divorced, and she still carries an oil bottle."

"And this?!" The man was stunned.

He thought to himself that the girl in the Mi family looked strangely young, and she should still be a girl in the boudoir.

"But there are also rumors that the divorced child's child is not her ex-husband's."

In this corner, everyone is chatting about the recent popular Mi family gossip.

Here, Mi Xia Yao was standing in the front yard of Weiyang Palace, and in front of her, she was blocked by a woman wearing a golden hairpin and a gorgeous palace dress.

She wore a bright green cardigan skirt to the banquet today, and a white velvet trimmed cloak on her head, which made her skin white and red, and her appearance became more and more exquisite.

Compared with the palace women, both of them are beauties with different styles.

"You're the one from the Mi family and the divorced woman?"

The woman lifted her chin haughtily, almost looking down at her.

She could see the disdain of the woman in the palace costume, and her eyes fell on the golden hairpin on the woman's bun, and she confirmed the identity of this woman in her heart.

"The courtiers have seen the noble concubine."

She calmly revealed the identity of the other party, which made Xiao Guifei's eyes flash with surprise.

Xiao Guifei's heart was wary of Mi Xia Yao.

"The prince told you about me?"

Mi Xia Yao saluted Xiao Guifei again, "The appearance of the noble concubine is noble, and it is difficult for the courtiers to know each other." ”

"Flim Flam! I can warn you, if you dare to attack the idea of the backyard of the East Palace, I will make it difficult for you to gain a foothold in this capital! ”

Xiao Guifei is famous for her exquisite posture.

To put it bluntly and down-to-earth, it is a big-chested and brainless, but she has to rely on the prince Qin Qiao's unique favor for her, a pampered and proud woman.

This kind of person is decisive but also full of loopholes, difficult and difficult to shake off.

Mi Xia Yao didn't have the heart to fight with such an unnutritious person at the moment, she just wanted to give Xiao Guifei a step down.

Who knew that the other party didn't accept her love at all.

Instead, he was full of backstabs, warned her without pain, and entered Weiyang Palace with a high temperament.

Xiao Guifei just entered with her front foot, and Pei Xingyuan shook the jade pendant on her waist with her back foot, and stood beside her with an easy-going step.

"Are you all solitaire by my side?" Mi Xia Yao couldn't help it anymore and complained to Pei Xingyuan.

He glanced at Xiao Guifei who was swaying her back, and pulled the corners of her lips, with a cold expression with a little helplessness.

"You are a popular person at today's banquet, and the people in that hall may be discussing you."

He raised his chin and motioned to Mi Xia Yao to look at the group of gossip in the hall and look at the pair of eyes.

She skilfully swept over those hot gazes, "It was originally a Hongmen banquet. ”

"Follow me today?" He couldn't help but ask when he saw that she was confident.

"It's not the right time, don't rush."

Mi Xia Yao in turn appeased Pei Xingyuan.

made this play, I didn't know that I thought it was Pei Xingyuan who desperately wanted to show it.

The man laughed angrily at her calm and calm appearance, "Cheng, then the young master won't care about you today." ”

With that, he walked straight to the Weiyang Palace.

Mi Xia Yao took her seat after a while, and before she could heat up the bench, there was a restless sound outside, and she saw the honor guard of the Ming Yellow Mantle tent walk in.

I don't know, I thought the emperor had arrived.

After the crown prince Qin Qiao stepped into the Weiyang Palace, the first thing he saw was not the favorite concubine on the main throne, but the position of Mi Xia Yao in the crowd at a glance.

She bowed down to salute the crowd, and she didn't need to look up to feel the hot gaze.

Prince Qin Qiao pushed the tip of his tongue against the back socket, laughed sullenly, and walked to the main seat without stopping.

He is saying ridiculous things from the throne, so that you can eat and have fun today.

The more the prince behaved like this, the stark contrast between the people outside made Mi Xia Yao feel disgusted with this prince.

"Your Highness, the people of Daqi are open, but not everyone can let go," Xiao Guifei said to Prince Qin Qiao while holding a wine glass, "The concubine has heard that some people are pregnant with other people's children before they can reconcile. ”

Every word and sentence she said aloud didn't seem to mention Mi Xiayao, but every description was her.

The people who knew the inside story looked at each other, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Pei Xingyuan twisted the wine glass in his hand, and when he heard this, Dan Feng's eyes were gloomy and threw it at Xiao Guifei.

Only the person concerned sat calmly in his position.

Prince Qin Qiao laughed dryly, and before he could speak, Xiao Guifei directly named someone.

"Miss Mi, am I right?"

The people from the Mi family, except for the uncle, are only Mi Xia Yao.

The people Xiao Guifei ordered here, except for Mi Xia Yao, there was no one else.

Immediately, the people in the Weiyang Palace looked at the woman sitting in the position.

I saw that the woman was dressed in tender green clothes, compared with what Xiao Guifei said just now, some people could vaguely see the green grass above the head of the big injustice.

Mi Xia Yao looked up at the arrogant and proud Xiao Guifei on the main seat.

She was not annoyed and angry when she was exposed, on the contrary, she spoke without delay, and she did what a girl from a family in the capital should be.

"It's really a good thing that Niangniang is familiar with the laws of Daqi."

The lukewarm sentence put Xiao Guifei in an awkward position.

"But Niangniang has only heard one or two, some things must always be seen to be believing, and hearing may not be true."

Her clear voice was extremely light in Weiyang Palace, and even every word was replying to what Xiao Guifei had just said.

In front of various families, Mi Xia Yao really established a well-spoken image.

And the uncle sitting next to her sank visibly.

But the hall was full of people, and he didn't dare to say more about right and wrong out of thin air.

For a moment, the hall fell into an eerie silence.

Xiao Guifei's face was not very good, and if Prince Qin Qiao didn't speak, no one dared to answer.

At this juncture, another noble man walked in calmly at the door of the main hall.

"This palace said that this Weiyang Palace is so lively."
