Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 338 Finally Arriving

Xiao Jingxi's eyes were slowly stained with a smile, and he naturally wouldn't point it out, he just followed Ren Yaoqi's question and replied: "Today's imperial decree was awarded to Yanbei Palace and Jinglin, and the imperial court gave it to her. The title of Princess Jingshu. As for marrying Xiao Jingyue, it is the Empress Dowager's word of mouth."

"Princess Jingshu?" Ren Yaoqi couldn't help looking at Xiao Jinglin when she heard Xiao Jinglin's title.

Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi, and then said to Ren Yaoqi indifferently: "Maybe the imperial court saw that I was too busy in Jiajingguan a while ago, so they gave me such a title, so that I can take care of myself and learn from ordinary boudoirs." A woman's tranquility and elegance."

Although she didn't say it on the face, Xiao Jinglin still despised the court's villainous behavior in her heart.

She felt that instead of mocking her for being a female rooster sitting in the morning, the court should hurry up and train those so-called "court elites" with thin arms and legs. Men are useless, but they have the nerve to resent women for being too strong, which is really scornful.

Ren Yaoqi also felt that the court's move was a bit too petty.

She heard that Xiao Jinglin had made a lot of military exploits in the past two years, if Xiao Jinglin was a man, it would be normal for her to be named a general, but the imperial court has never rewarded her in these years. Fortunately, Xiao Jinglin doesn't care about these false names, and with her own ability, she has a high prestige in the Yanbei army. Even if Xiao Jinglin does not have the title of general, the Yanbei soldiers below will call out respectfully when they see her General Xiao, and this has nothing to do with her status as the princess of Yanbei Palace.

"By the way, where's my small print?" Xiao Jinglin had previously made an appointment with Ren Yaoqi to pick up small print for each other when the other party was married. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi hadn't moved here, she couldn't help asking.

Ren Yaoqi said, "What do you think of the word Fengyang?"

"Fengyang?" Xiao Jinglin blinked, waiting for Ren Yaoqi to explain to her.

Xiao Jingxi had already read in a low voice: "The phoenix sings, on the high hill; the phoenix tree grows, on the rising sun."

Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded: "This is the source."

Xiao Jinglin also read it again, and pondered it carefully in her heart, and then a smile slowly appeared on her face: "Xiao Fengyang... yes, I like it very much."

Xiao Jinglin has always felt that it is good to be able to do what she likes without restraint. She doesn't care if others understand her, but it feels good that someone can understand her.

Seeing that Xiao Jinglin liked the words he gave her, Ren Yaoqi was also very happy.

At this time Hongying came over to Xiao Jinglin and said: "Princess, the princess is looking for you."

Xiao Jinglin took two steps away to ask Hongying.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and said softly to Ren Yaoqi: "I will be watched by Lu Yu, don't be afraid."

Ren Yaoqi raised her head, met Xiao Jingxi's gentle and focused eyes, her heart skipped a beat, she lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Jingxi always felt that Ren Yaoqi's attitude towards Lu Yu was a bit strange, logically speaking, today was the first time they met. He couldn't help but think of the last time Ren Yaoqi's Aunt Fang told about the nightmare he had, but Xiao Jingxi didn't ask.

"You..." Xiao Jingxi seemed to want to say something.

Ren Yaoqi looked up at him again.

Xiao Jing paused, and was about to speak, but Xiao Jinglin had finished talking with Hongying, and came over.

Xiao Jingxi swallowed the words that were almost on his lips.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi, then turned to Xiao Jinglin and said, "Is the princess looking for you? Shall we go back first?"

Xiao Jinglin nodded, today is her birthday, many people came to congratulate her, Ningxia also sent people over, she couldn't keep hiding from people, the princess asked her to go out and show her face.

Xiao Jingxi didn't continue what he said before, but said: "Go first, I still have some things to deal with."

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin left together, but along the way she still couldn't help wondering what Xiao Jingxi's unspoken words were.

Although Xiao Jinglin's Jiji banquet met such an uninvited guest as Lu Yu, it was still a very important beginning for Xianwangfu.

Concubine Xian's grandiose invitation to Princess Xian Rong as the princess and the guest of honor at the banquet can be said to have given a signal to the nobles of various families in Yanbei. During the more than ten years since King Xian's family came to Yanbei, almost all Yanbei families ignored the existence of the people in Xianwang's mansion and abandoned them in Yanbei nobles because of the taboo of the court and the disregard of Yanbei's palace. outside of your social circle.

Now, this deadlock that has lasted for more than ten years seems to be breaking.

On the second day of Xiao Jinglin and Ji's banquet, someone came to Xianwangfu.

And the first one to visit the Prince Xian's Mansion was Lei's family.

The Lei family currently does not have a headed mistress, so it was Lei Ting, the head of the Lei family, who came in person. Lei Ting said that he had disturbed Li Qian's driver before, and this time he came to visit in person. Although Lei Ting left after staying in Baoping Hutong for less than a quarter of an hour, it still attracted the attention of many people.

On the third day, someone from the Yun family also came to visit Mrs. Rong in Baoping Hutong. The person who came was the eldest wife of the Yun family.

The attitudes of the Lei family and the Yun family made the families who were still skeptical secretly aware of it.

Leaving aside the Lei family, after all, the time for the Lei family to move back to Yanbei is still short, but everyone knows that the Yun family has always followed the lead of the Yanbei Palace, and the Yun family is close to the King's family. Instigate?

So on the fourth day and the fifth day, the number of people who came to visit Prince Xian's Mansion gradually increased, and some people from states other than Yanzhou also sent people over.

Although many families did not come in person, they sent stewards from the house to deliver some ordinary snacks, or sent a post to invite the Rong family or the prince and his son to a banquet.

The attitude of Prince Xian's Mansion is very ordinary, neither flattered nor indifferent, the Rong family accepted all the gifts and told the following to return a copy according to the rules, and most of the invitations to the banquet were rejected. Yes, only a small number of people who were really invited by the head of the family and who really couldn't refuse were accepted.

Li Shi and sister Ren Yaoqi also heard these movements outside. Two days after returning from attending Xiao Jinglin's Jiji banquet, Li Shi was invited to attend a tea party hosted by Mrs. Gu of Yunyang Academy. Mrs. Gu was also from a noble family, so besides the wives of Yunyang Academy, the guests invited were also some wives from other families.

After Mrs. Li came to Yunyang City, she only met the wives of Yunyang Academy, but there were quite a few people who came to talk to Mrs. Li that day, and it wasn't just the wives of Yunyang Academy.

Ren Yaoqi was not surprised by this situation.

Most of Yanbei's aristocratic family acted based on the face of the Yanbei Palace. Ever since Princess Yanbei went to Baoping Hutong to invite Rong, Ren Yaoqi had already anticipated these situations. But for them, it's not a bad thing.

As for Lu Yu, who Ren Yaoqi was worried about before, there has been no movement, and no one has been sent to find fault with them. Ren Yaoqi later found out that Lu Yu rushed to Ningxia early in the morning on the second day of the Princess and Jiyan banquet, so naturally he didn't have time to trouble them again.

As for why Lu Yu left Yunyang City in a hurry, Ren Yaoqi didn't know, but Xiao Jingxi must have done something.

Xiao Jinglin then sent a letter to Ren Yaoqi, saying that Lu Yu and the people he brought this time were being watched by people around him, and he would not be given a chance to do something secretly. Only then did Ren Yaoqi feel relieved.

Not long after Lu Yu arrived in Ningxia, the imperial court issued another imperial decree, giving Lu Yu the post of supervisor of the army, asking him to stay in Ningxia temporarily to assist Zeng Kui in Ningxia military affairs, and Lu Yu was stumbled like this.

On this day, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were in the main room listening to Nanny Zhou telling them how to run a family, but the concierge came in to report that the eldest wife of the Ren family had come.

This was the first time the eldest wife had come to their house since they moved to Yunyang City.

Mrs. Li hastily led Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua out to greet her, and then sent someone to call Ren Yaoying out as well.

Seeing that they were all welcoming her at the second door, the eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Shi's hand and said with a smile: "What is this for? You came out to welcome her, and I'm afraid I can't find a place?"

Mrs. Li smiled and invited the eldest wife into the yard.

The eldest wife refused to go first, so she took Li Shi's hand and walked in front together, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua followed behind, and the group went to the main room together.

After everyone was seated, Mrs. Li ordered tea and said: "Why is sister-in-law free to come to Yunyang City today?"

The eldest lady casually looked at the main room, smiled and said: "I'm here to do something, and I'll stop by to see you. I just walked all the way to see that although the courtyard is not big, it is very delicately arranged. I am afraid it belongs to the third brother. Handwriting, right?"

Mrs. Li also smiled and said, "It was indeed arranged by the master."

Then the eldest wife chatted with Mrs. Li about some household matters. Seeing that it was almost noon, Mrs. Li kept the eldest wife for dinner, and the eldest wife did not refuse.

The eldest wife has always been gentle and reasonable. Although she was not enthusiastic about Li Shi when she was in the Ren family, she did not suppress it openly. Even Ren Yaohua did not have much ill feeling towards the eldest wife.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, the eldest lady suddenly asked: "By the way, didn't you go to the princess's banquet a few days ago? I heard that the Yanbei Palace was very lively that day, not only from the famous Yanbei family. The aristocratic families have come, and even the imperial court in the south has come to issue an imperial decree to the princess."

As soon as the eldest wife said these words, Ren Yaoqi knew that the eldest wife was going to get into today's topic.

After inviting the Rong family from the Yanbei Palace, the major families in Yanbei expressed their kindness to the Xianwang Palace one after another, but the Ren family remained silent.

Ren Yaoqi was still thinking in her heart before, wondering how long the Ren family could endure this time.

Isn't this coming?
