Chapter 60
Xia Mixiu Mu was at home today and had a late sleep. When she got up, she found snowflakes falling. Mother Zhao was preparing something to eat, "Master, let's have some porridge first, and we can have lunch later." "Xia Mi nodded, washed up and got ready for lunch, and the servants came to report that the wedding dress from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had arrived.
Xia Mi hummed, not wanting to try it on at all.
Seeing that she didn't seem very interested, Zhao Mama said, "Master, why don't you try it after eating? Just treat it as a digestion."
"You can do whatever you want." Xia Mi sent someone to give some rewards to the errand runners, but she didn't really care about it. In the end, she changed into new clothes at the insistence of Zhao Momo. The whole room was full of joy, facing the girl in the mirror A well-dressed person, but she feels powerless.
Is it interesting to have a wedding night in the bridal chamber, but not with the person you like?Xia Mi took off her wedding dress and threw it on the hanger casually, "I went to tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that it fits very well, and I am very satisfied."
After the servants responded and withdrew, Mother Zhao went to tidy up the wedding dress. The workmanship was exquisite, and the side of the dress was embroidered with complicated and cumbersome patterns. It seemed that she had put a lot of thought into it. She folded the clothes, "Master, but there is What's on your mind? Anyway, in a few days, it will be your big day, if Queen Feng can see...you must be very happy."
Xia Mi hummed, but did not speak.
Zhao Mama didn't say much, she folded her wedding clothes neatly and put them aside, then quietly left, who would have thought that someone would come again at the door, this time it was Mo Ya, the hostess of Nanliang, who said she was here to give a congratulatory gift.Zhao Nanny hesitated for a moment, the master is not in a good mood today, and he is not sure if he wants to meet someone.
"Understood, I'll ask the master." Mother Zhao sighed, knocked on the door and entered the room again, "Master, Miss Mo is here to give a congratulatory gift, do you want to see me?"
Closing her eyes and resting her mind, Xia Mi heard Mo Ya's name and opened her eyes, "Please invite someone to sit in the lobby and serve tea, I'll come right away."
"Yes." Zhao mama breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that the master would not want to see people, and she didn't see any joy in such a happy event. Zhao mama was almost graying her hair, but fortunately There are still people here who can be seen by the master, while thinking about it, they go to recruit people to take care of the guests.
Mother Zhao didn't know what Xia Mi was thinking, it wasn't Mo Ya who needed to see her, but Bai Ming.
Xia Mi straightened her clothes and walked quickly. When she was approaching the hall, she slowed down a little and walked in. "Miss Mo, you are safe." With a polite smile on her lips, she greeted Mo Ya, His eyes flicked across Bai Ming's body, and he quickly walked to the upper seat and sat down.
"See Your Majesty the Empress, I'm sorry for your troubles, I'm fine." Mo Ya was still smiling as she was in the upper study in previous years, with a harmless appearance to humans and animals.However, over the years, everyone has changed.
Xia Mi nodded, looked at the beautifully wrapped gifts on the table, "I'm sorry."
"Not to mention, it's just His Royal Highness's big wedding. Naturally, I have to prepare something well to represent my blessing." After Mo Ya introduced these things, Xia Mi was in a trance, listening to her in a serious manner. She introduced and nodded from time to time, but her mind was actually on Bai Ming.
Bai Ming, who was sitting next to Mo Ya, seemed to feel Xia Mi's gaze, occasionally raised her eyes to look at her, and then quickly shifted to the teacup in her hand, which made Xia Mi very puzzled. Prettier than her?Even looking at the teacup and not at her, who bought the tea set?Really useless.
After Mo Ya finished speaking, she looked outside the hall. The snow seemed to be falling heavily, but it was not appropriate for her to rashly say that she would leave before the owner saw off the guests, especially if the other party was still a lot higher than her. case.Mo Ya shook her head secretly, she had to move faster.
"It's getting late, if you don't mind, let's stay for dinner." Xia Mi saw her looking outside, the snow was gradually thickening, and a thin layer had already been spread on the ground.Xia Mi simply left him for dinner, thinking that after the meal, he would probably be able to stay for another night.
Really, it doesn't matter whether Mo Ya stays or not, what's important is that her Xiao Bai stays, well, she has to find a way to get her back.
"It should be obligatory for Her Majesty to stay with us during this weather, but..." Mo Ya turned a corner, "But my attendant Bai Ming still has old injuries. I am worried that if the snow gets heavier, it will be inconvenient for her. Please, Mrs. Your Majesty forgive me, I will take my leave."
Xia Mi knew about Bai Ming's old injuries, and the wound on her finger, which was treated by Doctor Hu and basically healed up. Xia Mi knew all about it, and it was Mo Ya's turn to remind her, but Mo Ya was unlucky Just remind her at this time.In addition, it cannot be the marriage of the Lord.
Xia Mi half-closed her eyes, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth, "Hey, is it because I don't miss my old love, or is it because I have a hard heart and don't understand others?" People know that she is angry, even if she is talking to you with a smile now.
Mo Ya was startled, she knew she was a demon, and it was not a wise choice to provoke Xia Mi with words again and again, and it was not wise to pretend to be intimate with Bai Ming in front of Xia Mi.Mo Ya was absent-minded for a moment, only to realize that her liking for Bai Ming seemed to be beyond her control.
"How could it be, Her Royal Highness misunderstood, I just said it by the way, if I had known Her Royal Highness was so kind, I would not have shied away." Mo Ya said with a smile, her sleeves clenched tightly Let go again.
"That's very good, come here, prepare wine and food." Xia Mi ordered, no one would be ignorant of her order, and Mo Ya chatted with her about other things, and after a while, someone came to report It is time to sit.
"Please." Xia Mi asked Mo Ya to go first. Mo Ya got up and wanted to shirk, but seeing her smile faintly, Mo Ya went out of the living room first. In order to pinch Bai Ming's arm, she glared at her, and then walked forward Shi Shiran.
Bai Ming was pinched for no reason, she rubbed her arm, she didn't know what she was sorry for Xia Mi, this strike was hard enough.
There were only three people on the round table, but the positions were separated, no, to be precise, Bai Ming's position was divided, it was naturally far away from Moya, and slightly closer to Xia Mi's side.Mo Ya glanced at the seat, didn't say anything, just pretended to be very interested in this table dish.
After a meal, Xia Mi and Mo Ya explored and explored, only Bai Ming kept his head down and ate in silence. Hearing what they said, he felt tired, but he didn't understand why Xia Mi wanted to target Mo Ya, and he didn't say it before. Win over?Is it because she is a concubine now?
After dinner, Xia Mi still wanted to keep someone here, but she couldn't do it well, so she asked someone to wrap some gifts for Mo Ya, and invited her to drink on the wedding day, and personally sent her to the main entrance.
"Young lady stay for a while. I came here on a whim and I came back on a whim. I am very pleased to have a word from the young lady." Mo Ya said goodbye to her, and Xia Mi stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, nodding to her.Watching Bai Ming go away little by little, and then get into Mo Ya's carriage, she finally saw her put down the curtain.
The carriage ran away quietly.
After dinner at night, the snow stopped, but the wind blew, and it was a bit cold to the bone.Zhao Momo brought Xia Mi a coat and put it on her shoulders, "Master, should I go back?"
"Let Yaoxiang and Yaolu come to see me in the study." Xia Mi turned around and went to the study. Madam Zhao ordered someone to pass on the message, and looked back at the street. The area is large and very clean, but it also means deserted.Even Bai Ming, who has been by Master's side for so many years, is standing behind others.
"Master." Yao Xiang and Yao Lu went to the study to meet Xia Mi.
Xia Mi, who was sitting behind the desk, hummed and beckoned for the two to come forward. She spread the map on the table, "Yaoxiang, how is the rice shop doing?"
"Everything is going well, and we have made an agreement with the farmers and signed a contract. If the weather is good, it will not be a problem in the coming year. Now we have some old rice to trade."
Xia Mi nodded, then asked Yao Lu, "Where are those shops?"
"The news is that the transaction with Nanliang is going well, but it will take a month or two to return." Yao Lu is in charge of the store, and is involved in neighboring countries. Most of them do business with Nanliang. Mi told me that it is convenient to inquire about the news.After talking about serious business, it's time to talk about other things.
"Master, the news from Nanliang also said that the political situation in the country is in turmoil, and the emperor is old and the princesses are fighting fiercely."
Xia Mi moved her fingers, motioning her to continue, Yaolu said: "The emperor's favorite person is naturally the prostitute Moya, but unfortunately she was sent here early, so the remaining few were evenly trained. Princess, this is why there are endless quarrels today, but with the old emperor holding back, it will be fine on the surface for the time being."
"That's why we can't do it in secret." Xia Mi continued, "Mo Ya has talked with her country's envoy recently, and she will definitely know more news. We have to give her a big gift." Xia Mi raised her eyebrows , folded his hands under his chin, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Yaoxiang and Yaolu looked at each other, feeling something was wrong.
The next day, after the next court.
The Empress left Xia Mi again, but the Empress was not in a good mood today, so she asked several important officials to teach Xia Mi, and asked her to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after class.
"Your Majesty, if you want to govern the country, you need to figure it out slowly. The most important thing is that you can't ignore the basic etiquette." Prime Minister Liu Siyu spoke slowly, always using some chicken soup for the soul, classical vocabulary, just like an old master who likes to be rigid Dogmatism, every time she attends class, Xia Mi silently complains about her in her heart.
"Yes, I will follow the instruction." However, the words still have to be convincing.
Liu Siyu nodded, "Today we will talk about the issue of co-existence around the country."
Xia Mi's eyes lit up, she just heard some rumors, she casually flipped through the book, and asked: "If the country is in turmoil, and the crown prince is arguing endlessly, but the successor is thousands of miles away, what should we do as a leader of the country? Take the opportunity to subdue it, or wait and see what happens?"
"What does Your Majesty think?"
"If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can take it slowly." Xia Mi smiled.She also replied to the empress in the same way, and the latter glanced at her, "How about a picture, tell me."
"The continual disputes are only because the heir is in another country, and other people's reputation is not right, even if they are in power, they will be afraid. What we have to do is to retain the heir, let others be in power, and worry about it day and night , and let the successors work day and night to return to the country."
The empress nodded in satisfaction, "I feel that those hostile girls are a little lonely in Dacang, and there just happened to be a few draftees who gave them marriages, but there are not enough people, this Moya..." She glanced at Xia Mi, "You think about how to deal with it for me."
People are not enough to be a ghost, it is clear that you did it on purpose.
Xia Mi coughed twice, and frowned slightly, as if she was really thinking hard, "Nanliang and Dacang are friendly relations, and Mo Ya is also the first princess of Nanliang, if I remember correctly Xia Yan... "She didn't clarify what she said, she only said half of it, but it's good to have the meaning.
Xia Yan is the third prince, born of Song Guijun, who was married, but unfortunately his family disappeared a month ago. How should I put it, although it is a second marriage, he is still a prince.If you marry someone else, the fourth prince Xia Zhou was born in the eighth year of Xuanwu, and now he is fifteen, a minor. Needless to say, Xia Tang, the one born in Xuanwu in the fifteenth year is even younger.
This marriage should be completed within these two months, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy, so the fourth prince will not be able to reach adulthood. The most important thing is that Xia Min owes the fourth prince his father, Zhonggui, and does not want to sacrifice his child as a pawn.Anyway, Song Guijun is gone, the boss has also fallen, and the persimmons are soft.
"Here, Yan'er has been married before, hasn't she..."
"But Xia Yan is my Prince Dacang, look at who others marry, and who Mo Ya married, she should thank the emperor for his kindness rather than criticize her." Xia Mi said.
Excuse me, make fun of me for getting married?Hehehe, you are coming too soon, we will be in-laws from now on.
Xia Mi watched his eyes, nose, nose and heart, and stood aside, as if he had really thought of such a suitable candidate purely through hard work.
The empress finally nodded, "Thinking about it this way, this is indeed the best choice." She asked Xia Mi to grind, and she wrote the imperial edict, and then sent someone to do it.
When leaving the palace, Xia Mi felt like the wind was blowing under her feet, and when Mo Ya got married two months later, she would be able to get Bai Ming back in a legitimate way.Didn't you say that it's inconvenient for Bai Ming to come back because of my wedding?Okay, it's not convenient for Baiming to be at your house when you get married, it's better to come back.
She got into the carriage and muttered: "Rumors are fiercer than tigers." The corners of her mouth raised, and a beautiful smile appeared.
