After returning to Pei's Mansion, Mi Xia Yao finished today's mansion expenses as usual, and dealt with the past of people in the capital.

When she finished washing, she saw Pei Xingyuan sitting in the hall looking at a book of words she passed the time.

"Why is it so early today? Nothing to do in the palace? ”

"Her hands have been getting longer and longer recently, and there are a few things that should have been handled by me, skipping my side and going directly to her, but those few things are irrelevant, and she is happy and relaxed, and she will come back."

Pei Xingyuan stretched out his hand and held Mi Xiayao's little hand.

His eyes fell on her stomach, and as the months got bigger and bigger, Mi Xia Yao's body became more and more bulky. Today's washing even requires Song Qiao and Linglong to be barely completed.

"Did you feel uncomfortable today?" Pei Xingyuan stared at her stomach and asked with a frown.

Her firstborn was unexpectedly calm, nothing was a big toss, and her appetite was good. It's just that her body is bulky, and Mi Xiayao's own emotions are a little wilted.

Guan Chunlan has collected a few scripts in the capital in the past few days, and asked Mi Xia Yao to take a look at them to relieve her boredom.

"No, I entered the palace today and saw Mi Wei, I heard what Zhu Xiuxiu meant that the Empress Dowager wanted to match her with Rong Yuanzhou?"

Mi Xia Yao took the opportunity to ask about the gossip she heard today.

Pei Xingyuan's eyebrows and eyes faintly smiled, "Do you think they are worthy?" ”

"I don't know if it's worthy or not, but Zhu Xiuxiu told me that she has other thoughts. I think Mi Wei is suitable for Zhu Wenhao, you have a deep handover with Zhu Wenhao, do you think they are suitable or are they suitable for Rong Yuanzhou? ”

Mi Xia Yao grabbed Pei Xingyuan's wrist, looked directly into the other party's eyes, and asked him questions in turn.

The man replied with a fairly standard answer.

"Whether it is suitable or not, I have to experience it myself to know, if I need to cooperate, your husband and I will cooperate 100% with any arrangements of Mrs."

Under this back and forth move, Mi Xia Yao was amused by his vigilant and cautious appearance.

Mi Xia Yao happened to have nothing to do, she thought about it, then just help the foil and take a look, if Mi Wei has always been in a state of resistance, then she will not make up for this excitement.

The couple chatted a few more thoughtful words, and then went back to the house and turned off the lights.

——

The sacrifice in the palace is still the same as the saying of the green banquet. The young emperor Qingdi is young, so it is not suitable to run around outside the palace.

It is to arrange sacrifices in the palace and temples in the palace.

The ministers of civil and military affairs who are listed in the three ranks must participate.

Pei Xingyuan is considered to be the minister with the highest rank of civil officials, and he has to enter the palace early to arrange related matters.

Mi Xia Yao is the highest grade in Mrs. Command, but in view of her bulky body, the requirements for her to enter the palace are not harsh, and even the little queen mother even said, everything makes Mrs. Pei comfortable.

When Mi Xia Yao slowly walked towards the palace, she happened to encounter the battle of the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace.

She got out of the sedan chair, and her pregnant belly couldn't even stop the spacious style. Standing on the side of the palace road, she lowered her eyes and was about to send the Empress Dowager away.

Who knows, the queen mother's sedan chair suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterward, the sedan chair was lifted with curtains.

"The eldest lady of the Pei family."

"Courtiers see the Empress Dowager." Mi Xia Yao hurriedly leaned over to salute.

The voice of the old woman overhead quickly interrupted the other party's action to ask for peace.

"You are heavy, these rules can be avoided, I am an old woman, where do I need so many complicated rules."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand.

Seeing this, Mi Xia Yao stood up straight neatly, she raised her eyes but did not look directly at the Queen Mother, and the rules were not leaky.

Even if the other party really wants to find any fault at this time, he can't find any mistakes or omissions.

There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the old woman above her head sigh with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, the girls of the Mi family are already about to give birth." ”

"Hey-Ah Wei followed my old woman in Cining Palace, occasionally for a day or two, my old woman looked happy when she saw such a calm and generous girl, but she was so wronged by that child, she was a good young girl, but now she is old and does not look good."

The Empress Dowager came with such an emotional remark.

Mi Xia Yao said calmly: "The Empress Dowager's palace is the most calm, and I want to come to Sister Mi Wei because I like to have more contact with the Empress Dowager." ”

She took these words back without leaving a trace.

In fact, Mi Xia Yao heard the meaning of the Empress Dowager's words.

This is a hint that Mi Xia Yao usually brings more with Mi Wei, which makes it clear that she wants to give Mi Wei a reliable backer.

Although I don't know how Mi Wei usually coaxed the Empress Dowager into obedience in Cining Palace.

But since the old man said it......

"The mourning family remembers that after the end of the sacrifice, the whole city of the capital will also add festivities and arrange temple fairs in the lively street market?"

The Empress Dowager didn't seem to be very satisfied with Mi Xia Yao's dullness, she gave up her subtle words, and this time she directly picked out half of it.

Mi Xia Yao nodded and replied neatly: "This temple fair is organized by the Queen Mother, and the courtiers only occasionally listen to a few words, and it should be held in the market." ”

"The mourning family needs to worship the Buddha sincerely at night, and no one else should be in the Cining Palace."

The topic jumps fast.

Mi Xia Yao paused slightly, thinking that if she continued to pretend to be confused, the Empress Dowager might be anxious.

This time, she finally said "dexterously": "There are many lively arrangements at the temple fair, and if the courtiers are free, they will invite Sister Mi Wei to go shopping together." ”

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, this person has finally opened his mind.

She nodded with satisfaction, "That's good." ”

The goal was achieved, and the Empress Dowager lowered the curtain of the sedan chair again.

This time, the direction of the sedan chair was no longer forward, to the place of sacrifice.

Instead, he turned around directly on the spot and walked in the direction of Cining Palace.

Waiting for the battle of the sedan car to leave this palace road, Mi Xia Yao's expression changed slightly.

can let the Empress Dowager leave Cining Palace for only such a purpose, and return to Cining Palace without hesitation when she reaches her destination.

The Empress Dowager's behavior alone was enough to make Mi Xia Yao curious about how Mi Wei did it, so that the Empress Dowager, who even the Empress Dowager found difficult to get along with, could pave the way for her so easily.

After Mi Xia Yao came to the front hall of the worship place, she stopped and stopped walking.

There are still children in the belly, and there are many people in the worship place, Mi Xia Yao is too lazy to disguise each other with those sanctimonious people, so she simply sits in the side room of the front hall.

Today's process in the palace is the process of sacrifice outside the palace, and the dull sound of music can be faintly heard when sitting in the front hall.

About three hours later, Mi Xia Yao finished reading a book, and the sacrifice in the apse slowly came to an end.

She followed Gong'e's guidance and followed the crowd to another palace, where a long row of dining tables was arranged.

Mi Xia Yao sat in her corresponding position.

She was picking up the teacup and preparing to moisten her mouth, when suddenly there was a figure in front of her.

Raising her eyes, Mi Xia Yao happened to meet Lin Shuang's eyes.

"Princess."

"Second Lady Rong."

Mi Xia Yao listened to it for so long, but she still couldn't get used to hearing the title of this princess, she frowned, and finally said, "Just call me Mrs. Pei." ”

"The courtiers have not been busy recently, so they came to ask the mother so late, is it the courtier's."

Lin Shuang's eyebrows and eyes lost the arrogance when she was a girl, and Lin Shuang, who was a wife at the moment, bowed slightly, and was quite respectful to Mi Xia Yao.
