Chapter 23: How to Talk to a Beauty
The eldest princess of Yongning can appear in Weiyang Palace, which is an unexpected person for the crown prince Qin Qiao.
He first glanced at Mi Xia Yao in the crowd, and finally stood up to greet the emperor's aunt.
Just when the crown prince and the eldest princess of Yongning said compliments to each other.
And Duan Honglin on the opposite side saw all this scene in his eyes, he secretly clenched the socket of his back teeth, and looked at Mi Xia Yao with a stoic face.
The colleagues beside him, as if they had no eyesight, whispered in his ear.
"What kind of ability is this woman of the Mi family, not only can she get close to Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but she is also targeted by the prince."
"And divorced, maybe her ex-husband is dead, so she became a widow, but the widow is ugly, she deliberately said that she was divorced."
"Highly likely!"
Every sentence of the colleague's conversation was like a blade slammed into Duan Honglin's heart.
"The widow's ex-husband" glanced at the colleague next to him, and said with a smile: "The women of the Mi family don't have any good things. ”
When my colleague heard this, he sighed lightly, "Isn't Brother Duan's family the Lin family, what's the matter, you are also related to the Mi family?" ”
That colleague was able to eat a lot of food because of the banquet today, and he lost his usual caution.
His ridiculous words fell to naught, and the faces of the three colleagues in the Ministry of Rites changed slightly.
The banquet in Weiyang Palace was carried out as usual, and the center of the palace was even lively with singing and dancing.
Mi Xia Yao didn't move the dishes in front of her, not even a drop of water, and her vigilance was raised high.
Just as the people next to him were talking, a palace man came over respectfully.
Everyone looked over with curious eyes, and saw the palace people saluting respectfully to Mi Xia Yao.
"Mi, a noble person invites you to go to the side hall."
There are countless nobles in the palace, whether it is the prince or which nobleman, everyone has a little guess in their hearts.
Mi Xia Yao glanced at her and cast a strange gaze around her, she stood up calmly and motioned to the palace people to lead the way.
Everyone in the palace is paying attention to today's big celebrity.
As Mi Xia Yao got up and walked out of Weiyang Palace, everyone began to discuss new gossip.
Here, when she came to the door of the side hall, she saw the crown prince Qin Qiao sitting on the main seat, and Pei Xingyuan, who was the first under the crown prince.
They both looked at her in unison.
She has a set of etiquette that makes it impossible to find fault.
When the prince saw her, he touched the tip of his nose and said, "I heard that the Xiao family found you today?" ”
"Yes."
"She's not bad."
"The mother is well-behaved."
When he said a word, Mi Xia Yao replied without leaving any room.
Pei Xingyuan crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at Mi Xia Yao with a faint smile in his deep eyes.
Prince Qin Qiao was a little irritated by her inexplicable attitude, and then looked at Pei Xingyuan on the side.
The latter, receiving the prince's gaze, stood up without hesitation, and patted the dust that did not exist on his body.
"Mrs. Mi, we invite you to come over this time, not for anything else, I heard that the Qingzhou Mi family is sitting on 10,000 taels of gold."
Her heart swelled slightly.
At first, she still couldn't understand what kind of splash the prince and Pei Xingyuan could make together.
But when she heard what he said, her heart suddenly understood.
"The courtier is a layman, so let's spread out the words and be more straightforward." She lowered her eyes and replied politely.
The prince felt the atmosphere of the two strangers, looked at Pei Xingyuan, and then looked at Mi Xiayao.
Pei Xingyuan snorted lightly, he looked at the other party's appearance of oil and salt, and the tip of his tongue touched the socket of the back of his teeth.
Thinking that she was Mi Xia Yao, he patiently repeated again: "We want 10,000 taels of gold from the Qingzhou Mi family." ”
After his actions, Prince Qin Qiao glanced at Pei Xingyuan again, and felt that he was very strange today.
"When it comes to silver taels, I should go to negotiate and buy and sell, my lord wants my Mi family money, but he doesn't tell the courtiers what benefits I have to my Mi family, is it to deceive me just a woman?"
Prince Qin Qiao originally hated dealing with these officials the most, and most of the time he asked Pei Xingyuan to talk to each other like at this moment.
can hear that the beauty is vaguely wronged, and the prince, a man who only thinks with his lower body, moved his heart of compassion.
Originally, he was the black-faced man, but at this time, he wanted to be the peacemaker.
"Zuo Shaoqing! How to talk to a beauty! The prince scolded.
Pei Xingyuan hooked his thin lips, his expression was not flustered, and he still sat on the chair in his own way, letting the prince get angry.
Prince Qin Qiao glanced at the beauty in front of him, "Treat the beauty, then naturally you have to be softer, you deserve to be so deserving of a woman's heart." ”
After saying that, the prince pointed to the chair beside him and asked Mi Xia Yao to sit.
"The beauty pays for it, how can the palace be willing to let the beauty suffer, there are more hairpin ring jewelry in the backyard of the East Palace, rare treasures in the world, what the beauty sees, take it away."
As he spoke, his hand silently covered the back of Mi Xia Yao's hand.
Touching the other party's smooth skin, Prince Qinqiao's eyebrows and eyes were evil.
Her first instinct was to withdraw her hand and stand up sideways, away from the prince.
At the same time, her charming face is gloomy, and she has a different demeanor with a cold face.
"Ridiculous, I exhausted the Mi family's thousand taels of gold, and I only got a few broken copper and iron? If you don't do this deal, the prince and the lord can find another job. ”
She walked out of the side hall with a gloomy face, ignoring the voice of the prince behind her.
But vaguely, she heard Pei Xingyuan say something.
"Prince, the other party has too much money, and the minister expects that today's rough negotiations will definitely not be pleased......"
She didn't have the heart to listen to the words that followed.
This prince's behavior is too nonsense, and he is embarrassed to say that kind of thing.
Now that she has reached an agreement with Pei Xingyuan, she just shook her face and left directly, and she was not afraid of the prince's anger.
After all, she has the money that the prince wants most at the moment and Pei Xingyuan's help.
Just as she decided to leave the ridiculous feast, another person had been waiting for her under the corridor for a long time.
Duan Honglin blocked the only way, and said gloomily: "If I were you, I wouldn't have come to the capital, let alone show up at will!" ”
A few steps away from her ex-husband, she stopped.
"Who did I think it was, it turned out to be a mere sesame petty official Duan."
It just so happened that she was in a bad mood at the moment, and when she met a sandbag, she was a little more vicious than before.
"This backer is nothing more than that, this is not as big as the same governor of Jingzhou City."
"Mi Xia Yao!" Duan Honglin's eyebrows jumped.
Her look of disdain and contempt pierced Duan Honglin's heart deeply.
"Duan Honglin, I also warn you, don't jump in front of my eyes, and cherish your current life.
"By the time I'm done cleaning up the mess on my hands, you're not so lucky."
Mi Xia Yao didn't have time to talk to Duan Honglin right now, she strode out of the corridor and missed him.
Only the tender green figure remained, like a hat on Duan Honglin's head.
