Here, Mi Xia Yao took over the official seal sent by the Ministry of Rites, and she was embarrassed to throw her out of the mansion because the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was not good at doing things.

It spread quickly all over the capital.

Even the emperor in the palace heard the news.

In the imperial study that day, the emperor sat on the dragon chair with some big heads.

In front of him stood Mi Lao and Pei Xingyuan, who was brought over by Mi Lao.

Pei Xingyuan is a seedling cultivated by the Mi family, and the seedlings are a well-known secret in the court, and the emperor is not surprised.

"Your granddaughter, I dared to bargain with me that day, and today I dare to lose the face of the Jiupin secretary of the Ministry of Rites, can she still come up and point to my twists and turns another day?"

Mi Lao put his hands on his cuffs, his old man had heard about it a long time ago.

Although Chad thought that Mi Xia Yao's work was too ridiculous, he could hear in an instant that the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was surnamed Duan.

He understood and was relieved.

"Hehe," he said with a kind smile, and then continued the Emperor's words, "and it is not surprising that the little woman Grey has always been of the same nature, and she can do such a thing now. ”

When the emperor heard what he meant to protect his shortcoming, his eyebrows jumped fiercely.

"Does the cabinet mean to protect this yellow-haired girl?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, my little daughter married Jingzhou City a few years ago, and her husband Jun is a little acquaintance of Jingzhou City, and this Tongzhi is unfortunate and also surnamed Duan."

As soon as these words are spoken, everything does not need to be too clear.

The furrows of the Emperor's brow had finally flattened out a little.

"That can't help but give face to the officials of Daqi, the officials of the Nine Grades are still wearing official uniforms, what does this look like!"

Since it was a personal vendetta, the emperor wanted to turn a blind eye for the sake of Mi Lao, so he simply followed the steps and casually reprimanded a few words that were not light or serious.

Mi Lao hurriedly said yes again and again.

"What do you mean by your kid coming to the imperial study, does the cabinet think that this matter can be serious to Dali Temple?" The emperor's temperament was a little calmer, and he saw Pei Xingyuan standing on the sidelines.

He asked by name again.

Mi Lao said respectfully: "Since the little girl has done this, then there should be a beginning and an end, and outsiders don't know the inside story, and the cabinet invited Master Pei to come over and decide this case." ”

The emperor's eyebrows jumped fiercely, what kind of case is this!?

Wasn't this a simple dispute at the beginning?

Seeing this, Pei Xingyuan hurriedly saluted, and he said without humility or arrogance: "After the incident in Mifu Beiyuan, the minister took someone to investigate and found that this secretary of the ninth rank of the Ministry of Rites was not clean. ”

"Oh?" The emperor was a little interested, and he motioned for Pei Xingyuan to continue.

"When Secretary Duan was in Jingzhou City, the official office had registered that the official embezzled silver taels once, and this matter was even reported spontaneously by the people of Jingzhou City, and the search of Duan's Mansion was also single-handedly investigated by the original minister when he was in Jingzhou City.

"The person was also imprisoned in Jingzhou Yamen Prison at the end of the year, but halfway back to Beijing after the minister completed the Jingzhou City-related cases, this Duan secretary disappeared in prison, but he appeared in the capital in a few days, and even parachuted into the Ministry of Rites to become a secretary."

The logic is clear and the evidence is clear.

The emperor's brows furrowed suddenly, and he looked deep in thought for a moment, "You tell me who is involved in this matter." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there is a vacancy in the official plate of Secretary Duan's entry, but I only know that the Ministry of Rites has always been pushing this Secretary Duan to do things."

Pei Xingyuan only gave such a clue, involving high-ranking officials, this matter can be big or small.

He is also smart, and when he encounters something, he will report it along with what happened in Mifu Beyuan yesterday.

The emperor knocked on the table thoughtfully, and he made up his mind in his heart, "I know, but there are times before and after dealing with things, and the matter of this female official is now known to everyone in the capital." ”

The meaning of this is that I want to suppress this matter first.

Pei Xingyuan heard this, and he didn't mention it anymore with a slight gesture.

Seeing that the topic was back on his granddaughter's head, Mi Lao coughed dryly.

"It's ......"

"I specially asked the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites about this matter, it was the Jiupin Secretary who didn't set up the jade Ruyi and so on at the beginning, and he touched the mold, which was a matter to deal with, so let's deal with it according to the Ministry of Rites."

The emperor waved his hand, and the matter was settled.

Mi Lao didn't have any objections, anyway, it wasn't his granddaughter who suffered, and it had nothing to do with him about how to punish the Ministry of Rites.

After Mi Lao and Pei Xingyuan left the imperial study, the father-in-law who had received the will behind him ran out non-stop, and the father-in-law of the chief steward walked out with the Buddha dust.

He stood at the door, looked at the two adults, and said with a kind smile: "The secretary of the Ministry of Rites doesn't know if there is any family background that is close to him. ”

Mi Lao and Pei Xingyuan glanced at each other, and responded to the words of the chief manager's father-in-law with a smile.

Waiting for them to get out of the imperial city completely.

Elder Mi restrained his kind smile and glanced at the apprentice.

"Hanhai specially told me today that if you want to leave the palace, you will go to him."

Mi Lao didn't know the reason, he just remembered it.

Pei Xingyuan didn't know why he suddenly wanted to see him alone, he answered, and simply followed Mi Lao to Mi's mansion.

Here, after yesterday's scene, Mi Xia Yao can be said to have a bad temper reputation, and all of a sudden there are many fewer nobles from families who want to please and want to win over relationships.

Zhu Xiuxiu was sitting in the courtyard with a congratulatory gift.

Xiaobao in the side room is sleepy, and the newly recruited nurse has not yet figured out Xiaobao's habits, so she has to sit in the house with the child in her arms.

"Sister Mi...... I've heard someone mention that you've been married once...... Why didn't anyone tell me that you still have a baby? ”

Zhu Xiuxiu spoke frankly, and she was already trying hard to pick euphemisms.

Mi Xia Yao skillfully patted the child's back, "This child was entrusted to me by an old man." ”

Zhu Xiuxiu suddenly realized that she was not interested in this gossip.

"Sister Mi, come and see, this is my congratulatory gift to you, this spear is specially made according to the strength of the woman, it is the most suitable for practicing martial arts on weekdays, and there are sandbags embroidered with auspicious clouds here, which we usually tie to our feet to bear the weight, I also think that Sister Mi is a daughter's family, and I should make something beautiful for you."

When she said her gift, her whole face was radiant, and she even wanted to roll up her sleeves and want Mi Xia Yao to experience martial arts training quickly.

Looking at the enthusiastic Zhu Xiuxiu, seeing that she took everything she said to heart, although Mi Xiayao's heart was warm, she really couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm.

And it just so happened that at this time, the door of the annex was opened......
