Scheme of the Official Descendant

Ren Yaoqi's original intention of saying this was to appease Xiao Jingxi, but she didn't want Xiao Jingxi's face to be unhappy after hearing this sentence.

Yao Qi was wondering what happened to this young master today, but Xiao Jingxi looked at her with dark eyes and said: "I should be happy that you are not angry with me, but now I would rather you are angry .”

When Xiao Jingxi said this, his voice was extremely low, almost murmuring to himself, if Ren Yaoqi hadn't stood very close to him, he might not have heard clearly.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi like this, and suddenly realized that he was different from hers. Although Xiao Jingxi had always given people a feeling of omnipotence, his ability always made people ignore his age, but When she met Xiao Jingxi, he was only fifteen years old, and now he is only twenty years old.

Xiao Jingxi can strategize well when facing major events, and he can even be regarded as exhaustive, but he may not be more mature than ordinary men in the weaker years when it comes to emotional issues.

Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi who looked gloomy in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Although I'm not angry with you, if I say that I hate Yan Ningshuang, will you think I don't know the general idea?" Ren Yaoqi said awkwardly, Ren Yaoqi had never said such a thing before, now this time Speaking in front of Xiao Jingxi for a while, it is inevitable that there is a hint of bitterness and jealousy, so after saying this, her face is so red that she can bleed, but this feeling is actually quite novel. In this life, she has never experienced such an awkward mood with the mood of a little daughter.

But obviously, her words pleased Xiao Jingxi, just now his face was gloomy, but now the corners of his lips curled into a happy arc.

"Is this true?" Xiao Jingxi lowered his head, looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked in a low voice.

The two of them were already standing close to each other. When Xiao Jingxi lowered her head, they could hear their breathing. Ren Yaoqi subconsciously wanted to back up, but after thinking about it, she still bit her lips and stood there without moving. Jingxi's close breath made her shiver slightly.

Ren Yaoqi looked up at Xiao Jingxi's bright eyes like stars in a dark night, and nodded almost invisibly.

The smile on Xiao Jingxi's face gradually deepened, and the look in his eyes seemed to condense into a whirlpool, making people drown in his gentle and focused eyes.

He held Ren Yaoqi's hand, Ren Yaoqi's slightly lowered eyelashes trembled, Xiao Jingxi saw that she didn't break away, so he hugged her carefully again.

Ren Yaoqi was still not used to being so close to men, but this person was Xiao Jingxi, so Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but soften her heart. At this moment, she realized belatedly that she couldn't see him showing a little bit of aggrieved and sad expression. No matter whether Xiao Jingxi was really aggrieved or just pretending, she didn't like to see it.

Ren Yaoqi was in Xiao Jingxi's arms, a little dazed.

She even wondered a little, maybe she understood what Xiao Jinglin meant when she said "beauty's tears, hero's tomb". She is not a hero and cannot pass the beauty test.

"I like your ignorance, I like it very much." Xiao Jingxi whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear, the soft and hoarse voice was so nice that one couldn't help but blush and heartbeat, and his whole body was numb.

Xiao Jingxi just hugged Ren Yaoqi quietly for a while without any other movements, Ren Yaoqi also obediently did not move, but the atmosphere was so beautiful that it made people feel nostalgic.

In the end, it was Ren Yaoqi who moved, blushing and straightened up from Xiao Jingxi's arms, this time Xiao Jingxi let her go.

"Did you ask me for something else?" Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi and asked softly.

Xiao Jingxi was in a good mood at the moment, dragged Ren Yaoqi to the middle of the room and sat down, and poured her a cup of tea, "I heard that you have agreed to Zhu Ruomei's marriage?"

"Zhu Ruomei is your man, why should I agree to his marriage? He asked to marry my maid, and I agreed." Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and said.

Xiao Jingxi smiled lightly when he heard the words, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Who said that you don't need your permission for his marriage? He is mine."

The meaning in Xiao Jingxi's words is already very straightforward, what does Ren Yaoqi not understand? But this is not easy to answer or refute.

Xiao Jingxi didn't want to embarrass Ren Yaoqi, even though he loved her blushing and shy appearance very much, "I want to discuss with you whether his wedding date can be advanced."

Ren Yaoqi just raised her head to look at him, a little surprised: "The wedding date is brought forward? When will it be brought forward?" Zhu Ruomei's wedding date was set by the Zhu family themselves, and now they suddenly have to reschedule, and Xiao Jingxi is required to come and marry her. She said that Ren Yaoqi was of course surprised.

Xiao Jingxi pondered: "The sooner the better, how about after the Duanyang Festival?"

Ren Yaoqi was even more surprised when she heard the words. Today is the second day of junior high school, and the fifth day of junior high school is the Duanyang Festival, so Zhu Ruomei's marriage will be scheduled in a few days.

"Why are you in such a hurry? But what happened?" If it weren't for Zhu Ruomei's age, Ren Yaoqi originally thought that it would be too early to get married at the end of June, fearing that they would not be able to prepare in just two or three months.

"I want Zhu Ruomei to take a long trip. If his wedding date is not brought forward, I'm afraid it will be postponed. I asked him what he meant, and he said he wanted to get married earlier." Xiao Jingxi said.

Ren Yaoqi took a look at Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi told Zhu Ruomei to go away because he must have something important to tell him to do. Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to ask clearly. After all, Sydney belonged to her. I can't justify asking. But Ren Yaoqi was also afraid that she should not ask these things, and if she asked, it would make Xiao Jingxi difficult.

Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi's expression, and naturally understood what she was thinking, smiled and said: "You know that the Queen Mother chose ten ladies to come to Yanbei this time, and there are three court officials? They are obviously I came here for the Qianjin Banquet and the book "Pictures of Yanshan River", but the essence is not."

When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, he immediately thought of what Yuan Dayong asked to inquire about last time. Among those few officials, perhaps only Pei Zhiyan really came for "Yanshanhe Tuzhi". Open border trade business.

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Last time I asked someone to inquire about it." It has always been the case that Yuan Dayong can know this, and Xiao Jingxi's instruction must be indispensable.

Xiao Jingxi did not have the concept that women in the inner house should not interfere with the affairs of the outer court. Xiao Jinglin is also a woman, which does not prevent Xiao Jingxi from admiring her in some aspects. And Ren Yaoqi is about to become his wife, and she is also a woman he admires, so Xiao Jingxi doesn't mind Ren Yaoqi knowing these things.

"The new king of Liao was only fifteen years old when he succeeded to the throne. He would inevitably be young and energetic. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has led troops to invade the south every year, but he has never been able to enter Jiajingguan, and his prestige in Liao has been greatly reduced. The old man The last wife of King Liao, Queen Shunzhen, was the niece of the governor of the North Court. Queen Shunzhen and the North Court wanted to support her youngest son to replace her. In order to win over the South Court, the new Liao King married the daughter of the King of the South Court. Don't look at this The King of the Southern Court usually keeps quiet, but playing tricks, there are not many people in the Liao Kingdom who are his opponents, this time the King of Liao sent people to Beijing to quietly seek peace with the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is what the King of the Southern Court wanted." Xiao Jing Xi analyzed the situation of Liao Kingdom to Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "The Liao Kingdom has lost the battle this time. Are they planning to give up the land or pay money when they take the initiative to seek peace?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingxi laughed when he heard this, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Let's pay the money, but it's not the Liao Kingdom that compensates Da Zhou, but Da Zhou compensates Liao Kingdom."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard the words: "Is there such a good thing?"

"The imperial court has been recuperating in the Southern Region these years, and there is no shortage of money." Xiao Jingxi said calmly.

After careful consideration, Ren Yaoqi realized that the court did not lack money, but what it lacked was control over Yanbei.

The Liao people suffered a defeat at the hands of the Yanbei army, but they bypassed the Yanbei palace to seek peace from the court. It is false to seek peace, but it is true to hide evil intentions.

The Liao Kingdom is currently in the South and North Courts independently, and it may not be a short-term matter to decide the outcome. However, the prestige of the new Liao king has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to lead troops south to attack the city again in the near future. Therefore, the Liao king wanted to take this opportunity to let himself take a breath and clean up the door, so he proposed to reopen the border trade between the two countries.

No matter how powerful Yanbei Palace is, it is only a vassal king, and Da Zhou is still surnamed Li.

The Liao people knew that compared to the Liao Kingdom, which was separated by the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the Yanbei Palace was a fishbone stuck in the throat of the Great Zhou court. I can't spit it out, I can't swallow it, and it will fester and fester after a long time. Therefore, even if the Liao people were defeated, they dared to ask the Great Zhou Dynasty to offer them new year coins, and allowed the reopening of border market trade.

Because if the Liao people ceased fighting with Yanbei, the existence of Yanbei Palace would become embarrassing. Without the war, if Yanbei still wanted to support so many troops, the common people would complain, and over time, the Yanbei Palace would not be able to disarm the army. In this way, it would be much easier and more legitimate for the Great Zhou Dynasty to clean up the Yanbei Palace.

Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi also broke out in a cold sweat, and could not help but sigh: "No wonder you said that the king of the South Courtyard is a deep-rooted person, and this double-edged sword makes him beautiful."

By the time the Yanbei Palace was forced to become weak, the Liao Kingdom had already dealt with its own internal affairs, and its national strength had gradually recovered due to the reopening of border trade. When the time came and sent troops southward, how could the Great Zhou Dynasty still have the power to resist?

Xiao Jingxi smiled when he heard the words, every time he talked with Ren Yaoqi was the most relaxed time for him. He doesn't have to be wary of her, and he doesn't have to be afraid that she won't understand. Every time, as long as he starts, she can understand everything. Smart as her woman, he has not seen a few.

"So Yanbei Palace wants to stop the peace talks between the imperial court and Daliao?" Ren Yaoqi asked.

Xiao Jingxi didn't answer right away when he heard the words, he thought for a while, and looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile: "If that's the case, aren't you afraid that we will become sinners for the entire Great Zhou? After all, for ordinary people, it's always good not to fight. Yes." Xiao Jingxi felt very at ease about including Ren Yaoqi in the category of "us".
