Scheme of the Official Descendant

Regardless of whether Xiao Qiao is willing to leave Lei's house or not, under Ren Yaohua's order, the people below are still very quick to do things. Before noon, Liu Gui's family went to the main courtyard to report that Xiao Qiao's things had been packed. When Xiao Qiao came here, she had nothing, so there was nothing special to do except pack all the things in her house.

Ren Yaohua just nodded and replied lightly: "Let's go after packing up, I won't go out."

Ren Yaohua was practicing calligraphy with Lei Pan'er in the study at the time. When Liu Gui's family and Ren Yaohua reported, Lei Pan'er had been sneaking around behind the desk not far away, but until Ren Yaohua finished replying to Liu Gui's, Lei Pan'er None of them interrupted.

Ren Yaohua waited for Liu Gui's family to go out, then turned back to the desk, looked down at Lei Pan'er's writing carefully: "Well, there is progress, let's take a rest and write some snacks before writing."

When Lei Pan'er got the praise, she immediately smiled at her, put down the pen, and obediently asked the little maid who was waiting beside her to wash her hands with water.

Ren Yaohua led her to sit at the table, picked a piece of honey cake from the plates of snacks on the table and put it on the plate in front of her.

"Thank you, mother." Lei Pan'er picked up a small spoon to dig pastries and ate them.

Although Lei Pan'er behaved very well-behaved, Ren Yaohua found that she was quieter than usual today. She usually likes to chatter non-stop even when she is having snacks. Ren Yaohua didn't point it out, she just watched her eat the snacks.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Lei Pan'er put down the small spoon in his hand, and sat there with his head down, finishing his fingers.

"Don't eat? Are you going to play in the garden?" Ren Yaohua wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at her and asked.

Lei Pan'er shook his head, watching Ren Yaohua hesitate to speak.

Ren Yaohua looked at her without asking or urging her.

Finally, Lei Pan'er couldn't help but asked, "Mother, is Auntie leaving?"

"No, I'm going to live in Zhuangzi. Pan'er is reluctant to let her aunt leave the house?"

Lei Pan'er thought for a while and asked with a serious face: "Is the food on Zhuangzi good? Is there anyone to take care of you? Is there anyone to take care of you if you are sick?"

Ren Yaohua nodded: "Yeah. The maidservants who served my aunt before will also serve her in the past. The food and clothing expenses are the same as when they were in the mansion. If they are sick, they will be in charge again to invite the doctor. If Pan'er is not at ease... "Ren Yaohua pondered for a moment, "Why don't you send your own maid to see my aunt, and let the maid follow her to have a look, so I can report to you when she comes back?" Two of Lei Pan'er's maids have been serving her for several years. There was no replacement after that.

Lei Pan'er thought for a while after listening, and then nodded: "Okay, let's take a look at the nanny by the way."

Lei Pan'er has a good memory, and she still remembers that her nanny was also sent to Zhuangzi.

"Is Pan'er going to see her aunt?" Ren Yaohua thought about it.

Lei Pan'er shook her head: "I heard that my aunt had a bad life before she came to our house, as long as she knows that she will have a good life in the future."

Lei Pan'er is precocious, and there are many truths that don't need to be told by others. She also understands that what is rare is that she is still reasonable and will not make trouble for no reason.

Ren Yaohua patted her head, called her maid to give some instructions, and then let her go.

Afterwards, Lei Pan'er seemed to put aside the matter of Xiao Qiao's, and didn't mention her again, and continued to play when it was time to play, and eat when it was time to eat.

When Xiao Qiao saw Lei Pan'er's personal maid, Hua Die'er, and learned that Lei Pan'er was not planning to come to say goodbye to her, her face immediately turned pale, and she didn't even remember to break away when she was helped into the carriage.

Xiao Qiao's departure seemed to be a trivial matter to the Lei family. But on the second day after Little Qiao's left, a big event happened.

King Xian who disappeared after leaving Yanbei finally appeared in front of the world again. King Xian appeared in the Hezhong Mansion, and he stayed in the Hezhong Mansion on the day he appeared.

On the second day, King Xian announced to the world a posthumous edict of the former emperor.

This edict was made after the original decree to abolish the king. The first emperor stated in the edict that he pardoned Xianwang's family for their crimes, and granted Xianwang the title of King of Hezhong, and Hezhong Mansion as the fiefdom of King Xian. And after King Xian officially accepted the title of King of Hezhong, within five years, King Xian and his direct descendants were not allowed to leave Hezhong.

As soon as this edict was announced, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was shocked.

Of course, some people would doubt the authenticity of the edict in King Xian's hand. If the edict was true, why didn't King Xian take it out earlier?

After King Xian announced the will, he rubbed a copy and posted it on the bulletin board next to the city gate in Hezhong. Not long after, many people got the rubbings of this will. After countless people's identification, the handwriting of this edict was written by the late academician Pei Xun, and the seal of "Fengtian Zhibao" on the edict is undoubtedly the emperor's seal.

Although Pei Xun has passed away, he left behind quite a few calligraphy treasures, and it is not difficult to identify the handwriting. The Pei family is the head of today's scholars, and many of the Pei family's children are officials in the court. The Great Zhou Dynasty came from the head of the six tribes with the surname Pei, and there were several cabinet ministers. The Pei family can be said to be the "tumbler" of the bureaucratic family of the Great Zhou Dynasty , No one replied that Pei Xun would collude with Concubine Wan and King Xian to make a fraud.

So when this imperial edict was released, everyone who suspected that the imperial edict was fake fell silent.

As for the most talked about in the posthumous edict, it is the secretive decree that "within five years, the king Xian and his descendants are not allowed to leave Hezhong."

The vassal kings of the past dynasties have always been forbidden to leave the fief without permission, let alone enter Beijing, but as long as the emperor orders to be summoned, no matter how far away they are, the princes will go to the capital to show the emperor. The last emperor's edict is good. Within five years, the royal lineage of Xian Wang's mansion is not allowed to leave Hezhong, that is, even if the emperor issued an order to declare Xian Wang or Xian Wang's sons to the capital, they can ignore it, and just treat it as the emperor's release. Shit. No matter how old the emperor is, he is no bigger than the emperor's own father. Of course, this father must be dead, and the one who is alive may not have such face.

The Empress Dowager Yan and the Yan family were so angry and aggrieved when they found out about it. Li Shi from Yanbei cried again after learning about it, while Ren Yaoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Five years is not long or short, but it is the most suitable time for the development of Xianwangfu. With the foundation left by Xian Wangfu, as long as they passed the past five years smoothly, it would not be so easy for the imperial court to start offering the Wangfu manually. It has to be said that Concubine Wan Gui's methods are really not comparable to ordinary people.

However, Ren Yaoqi was still very surprised that the imperial edict was related to the Pei family. When he was by Mr. Pei's side, although Mr. Pei mentioned Concubine Wan Gui, he only said a few words, but it was out of a man's appreciation and regret for the peerless beauty.

Ren Yaoqi had never heard of any involvement between the Pei family and Concubine Wan Guixian's lineage of Xian Wang, and Pei Zhiyan had never mentioned Xian Wang in front of Ren Yaoqi. Of course, if the two parties were involved, the credibility of this edict would be much lower.

It's just that Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but worry about Pei Zhiyan's current situation. Although with the foundation of the Pei family, it is still difficult for the court to move the Pei family in a short period of time, and it also needs to take into account the public, but it is still easy to give the Pei family some small shoes to wear. Among the Pei family who are officials in the imperial court, Pei Zhiyan's uncle, Pei Ji, has the highest official position. He is the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, a minister of the cabinet, and ranks third in the cabinet. Pei Zhiyan is now a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and his official position is only the fifth rank, but he is the emperor's teacher, and he will succeed Pei Ji in the future. The imperial court would be more willing to use Pei Zhiyan than Pei Ji.

Even if Ren Yaoqi was worried about the affairs of the imperial court, it was of no avail.

Although there are more people who believe in the late emperor's edict than those who doubt it, the vast majority are those who hold a wait-and-see attitude. After all, no one knows the true strength of Xianwangfu. No one is a fool, and would be willing to annoy the court for a freshly baked vassal king whose foundation is unstable and whose future is uncertain.

Under such circumstances, the Yanbei Palace was the first to extend an olive branch to the King of Hezhong. Although they only sent some gifts to Hezhong, it represented that Yanbei was willing to recognize the King of Hezhong.

The Yanbei Palace moved, and due to various interests, other forces also moved. With the rise of Prince Xian's Mansion, the political structure of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will change. Many people have already sensed the unusual political trend between Prince Xian's Mansion and Yanbei Prince's Mansion.

Under this atmosphere, Xiao Jingxi, the second son of Yanbei Prince's Mansion, proposed marriage to Ren Yaoqi, the fifth daughter of the Ren family.

As soon as the news came out, people outside of Yanzhou might not be able to react. Who is this Fifth Miss of the Ren family? But soon everyone in the world knew that Ren Yaoqi, the fifth young lady of the Ren family, was the granddaughter of the original King Xianhe, and the second daughter of Princess Jiayi, the first daughter of King Xian.

At the beginning, King Xian was demoted to be a commoner and assigned to Yanbei, and all the titles from King Xian to Princess Shizi were taken away, and Princess Jiayi was forced to marry as a merchant's wife due to the situation. Now the emperor's last edict pardoned Xian Wang, the titles of Xian Wang's mansion were returned, and the title of Princess Jiayi came back.

Some people may think that the status of a merchant's daughter is not worthy of the second son of Yanbei Palace. After all, although Xiao Jingxi's health is not good, after Xiao Jingkang's death, he is the most likely to succeed Yanbei's son. Almost, if you marry a granddaughter, there is still a layer of separation.

However, King Hezhong only has one son and daughter, and the sons of King Hezhong have not been married for less than a year, and they have no children. Fortunately, the title of Princess Jiayi has come back, no matter what, the Li family is still a golden branch and jade leaf, and the blood of the royal family.
