Later, Apple also brought in the news that Yuan Dayong had inquired from the outer courtyard.

The ten ladies from the capital have all been arranged in an annex next to the Yanbei Palace. The Yanbei Palace also sent a lot of guards to protect them. Two of the ladies fell ill while on board, but they didn't want to. The trip was delayed, so I resisted and persisted on my way, and I didn't tell anyone about my illness. I was discovered after entering Yunyang City, but I was much stronger than the civil servant who was ill on the way.

Yanbei Prince's Mansion has sent a doctor to see these two ladies. It is said that it is only the first time to take a boat, which is caused by not getting used to it. In addition, some acclimatization to the water and soil will make them recover after a few days of recuperation.

This time, there were three court officials who came with these ten ladies, and one of them was Pei Zhiyan. These few officials did not send these ladies to the Qianjin Banquet on purpose. The imperial court received the letter of credence from the Liao people a while ago, intending to make peace with Da Zhou and reopen the border trade between the two countries. The imperial court sent people to inquire. True or false, and most of the reason why Pei Zhiyan came here was because of the set of Pictures of Yanshan Rivers.

Pei Zhiyan didn't go to Yunyang City today because of his colleague who fell ill and was on the way. I heard that they are now staying in Cangzhou.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this: Did Yuan Dayong inquire about all this?

Originally, she just wanted to inquire about Mr. Pei's affairs, but she didn't expect Yuan Dayong to get such detailed information. That's all about the matters related to those ladies, and even found out the purpose of those court officials' visit this time. The relationship between Daliao, Yanbei, and the court is not simple. It is difficult for ordinary people to know that the Liao people are seeking peace and reopening border trade.

Apple nodded: Yes.

Then did he mention where he heard about it? Ren Yaoqi asked thoughtfully.

Apple continued to nod: Master Zhu took him to find the person in the Yanbei Palace.

Ren Yaoqi: ...

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was silent, Apple blinked: Miss, is there something wrong?

Ren Yaoqi shook her head: Tell him not to go to the Yanbei Palace to inquire about news easily. She has not yet married into the Yanbei Palace, so she uses the contacts of the Palace, if people find out, she must become a handle. Zhu Ruomei has a deep relationship with her, so it can be excluded, and other people can't use it casually.

Apple nodded, thought for a while and said: Master Zhu said that the Second Young Master Xiao told you that if you have any needs, you can send someone to the Yanbei Palace. The person Yuan Dayong is looking for is from the Second Young Master Xiao. Chewing around.

Ren Yaoqi was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and felt a bit of warmth in her heart, but she still said: That's not good, there are quite a few people staring at us in Yunyang City now, one more thing is worse than one less thing. And the prince and concubine are in charge, even if Xiao Jingxi doesn't care about her using his people, she still has to worry about whether the king of Yanbei and the concubine will care. If there was something urgent, she would go directly to Xiao Jinglin.

Apple nodded again: Understood Miss, I will tell him.

When Apple was about to retire, Ren Yaoqi suddenly remembered something and asked, How do you know the last names of the two sick ladies?

One's surname is Yan, and the other's surname is Zhao.

Ren Yaoqi asked Apple to step down.

From this day on, Ren Yaoqi still made people pay attention to Pei Zhiyan's whereabouts, but there was no news of Pei Zhiyan in the next few days, and he seemed to be staying in Cangzhou.

And the ten ladies who came from the capital also had a good rest for a few days in the annex of Yanbei Palace. They came from afar, and most of them were unfamiliar with their places in Yanbei, so they didn’t need to go out to meet friends. People outside had to go through Yanbei Palace if they wanted to see them, so when these ladies first came to Yanbei, it was lively outside for a few days, but after that, there was no movement at all. The Yanbei Palace was also afraid that something might go wrong with these ladies from the capital, so they were happy to see them quiet.

Ren Yaoqi didn't have much curiosity about these girls who came from afar, and nothing could be better without wind and waves.

In the blink of an eye, it is May, and the fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival. There will still be dragon boat races in Yunyang City this year. What is different from previous years is that Ren Shimin also received an official invitation from the Su family this year. In the past, they came to Yanbei Watching dragon boat races is always done as the Ren family member of Baihe Town, but this year is different.

Ren Yaoqi heard that these ladies from the capital would show up on the day of the Dragon Boat Race of the Dragon Boat Festival. This year, there is a dragon boat representing the southern imperial court, so there must be some excitement at that time.

On the second day of May, Yanbei Palace sent a carriage over, saying that the concubine specially sent someone to pick her up to the Palace.

Ren Yaoqi was a little strange, in the past Xiao Jinglin picked her up when she went to Yanbei Palace, but today the princess picked her up for some reason.

Thinking about it this way, Ren Yaoqi didn't dare to procrastinate, so she asked the servant girl to wait on her dressing, changed her clothes, and took a few maidservants out of the second door to take the carriage of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion.

Seeing the eight maids, eight nuns and a team of guards of a dozen or so who came to pick her up, Ren Yaoqi believed that it was not Xiao Jinglin but the princess who let her into the mansion today. When Xiao Jinglin came to pick her up, she never talked about ostentation, nor did she let too many people follow her. She either came by herself or asked her maid Hongying to come. As for the maids and mothers who came to take over from Yaoqi today, Ren Yaoqi recognized one or two familiar ones, and they were serving in front of the princess.

The maids and nanny of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion were extremely respectful when they saw Ren Yaoqi, without any domineering appearance, and helped her into the carriage very carefully.

A group of people went to the Yanbei Palace in such a mighty way. After the carriage entered the palace, it didn't even stop at the place where the foreigners got off the carriage, but traveled a little longer. Then the dozen or so servant girls led Ren Yaoqi to Jiuyang Palace where the princess lived.

When Ren Yaoqi entered Jiuyang Palace, the princess was sitting on the main seat, and next to the princess was Xiao Jinglin. But Ren Yaoqi also noticed that besides the princess and Xiao Jinglin, there were two girls present, one on the left and one on the right sitting in the guest seats below, talking with the princess.

Hearing the sound of someone entering the hall, several people looked over at the same time.

As soon as the princess saw her, she said angrily: I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know how to take the initiative to come and talk to me.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi, with a smile on her face, and even excused her in front of the princess: Yaoqi has been very busy recently, last time I heard from my husband that she participated in the completion of several remnants of music, I may Long time no see her.

Ren Yaoqi blinked, then went forward to salute the princess, and smiled when she got up: I know I was wrong, princess, please don't annoy me.

As they were talking, Ren Yaoqi noticed that the eyes of the other two strange girls were fixed on her face.

One of the girls sized her up and said with a smile, This is Miss Ren, right? It really is... It's better to meet her than to be famous.

The girl who spoke was fourteen or fifteen years old. She had a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows, and her slender phoenix eyes were radiant and charming when she smiled. She had a small nose and a cherry mouth. The beauty of human aesthetics.

The other girl is about the same age as the previous one. Although her appearance is slightly inferior, she is still very iconic, especially when she frowns slightly, the slight worry between her brows makes her look very cute, which is a standard Kyoto beauty.

The princess smiled and said, The one on the left is Ms. Yan, and the one on the right is Ms. Zhao, both from Kyoto. .

Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded, and went forward to greet them.

Ms. Yan never took her eyes off Ren Yaoqi's face, she said with a meaningful smile: I heard about you when I was in Kyoto.

Miss Zhao said softly: Ningshuang, why don't you let Miss Ren sit down first, Miss Ren, come and sit with me.

At this time, the princess said: Yaoqi, come and sit with me, Jinglin, go and sit with Miss Zhao.

Xiao Jinglin got up and gave up the seat next to the princess without saying a word.

Seeing this, Miss Yan's expression changed slightly, but she soon smiled again, and took a sip of the tea in hand. Miss Zhao didn't say anything.

Ren Yaoqi didn't refuse either, and sat down next to the princess with her usual expression, making outsiders look as natural as she usually is.

Princess Wang waited for Ren Yaoqi to sit down and told her: Ms. Yan and Ms. Zhao are our guests from Yanbei, and they are about the same age as you, so they must be able to chat together. In the future, you and Jing Lin will replace me. Treat them well.

Ren Yaoqi obediently replied Yes

The concubine sat in the hall for a while and talked with them for a while, until Madam Xin came over and seemed to have something that the concubine needed to deal with, the concubine said to Ren Yaoqi: You and Jing Lin accompany Miss Yan and Miss Zhao to play Well, the two of them have just recovered from their illnesses, let the people below take care of them more carefully.

Ren Yaoqi agreed again, and then they bid farewell to the concubine and left the Jiuyang Palace together.

Yan Ningshuang and Miss Zhao, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin walked side by side, and no one spoke for a while.

Xiao Jinglin never took the initiative to speak in front of outsiders, Miss Zhao seemed to be a quiet person, Yan Ningshuang didn't know why she didn't speak, but it was Ren Yaoqi who asked, Should we go to the garden or Jinglin's Hall of Zhaohe?

Zhao Yingqiu smiled slightly: It's all right.

Yan Ningshuang glanced at Ms. Zhao, and also smiled: Why don't you go around, it's the first time we've come to Yanbei Palace. Yingqiu, you can talk to Sister Ying'e after you go back, although she is the eldest concubine of Yanbei Palace , but I’ve never been to Yanbei before.”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glanced at Miss Zhao. Hearing what Yan Ningshuang said, it seemed that this Zhao Yingqiu had something to do with the Crown Princess.

Zhao Yingqiu looked at her predecessor Yaoqi and explained with a smile: The imperial concubine Zhao Ying'e is my cousin, and my father and sister Ying'e's father are direct brothers.

Ren Yaoqi immediately understood.

The eldest concubine Zhao Ying'e is the daughter of Princess Chang'an and Beichanghou Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng is the eldest son of the old Beichanghou and inherited the title after the old Beichanghou's death. His father should be the second son of the old Beichanghou.

No wonder there were ten ladies who came to Yanbei, but today the concubine summoned the two of them alone. Fortunately, Yan Ningshuang said, after all, she was a girl from the Empress Dowager's natal family, but she did not expect that this Miss Zhao could be regarded as an in-law of Yanbei Palace.

Today Xiao Jinglin is still reticent and doesn't like to talk to others, Ren Yaoqi can only take the initiative to greet them: How is the concubine?

It was Yan Ningshuang who answered her: I went to the palace once before I came, sister Ying'e...she looks much better, but compared to before, her complexion is always worse.

Zhao Yingqiu smiled wryly and said: She and Shizi have a deep love as husband and wife, but Shizi... If it wasn't for her sister's pregnancy, she might not be able to survive.

The atmosphere was a little sad for a while, Zhao Yingqiu had a sad look on his brows.

Ren Yaoqi was planning to take Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu for a walk in the garden to look at the flowers and plants, but a few people walked up to her.

Princess, ladies, the old concubine welcomes you. The visitor walked up to them and said.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin.

Xiao Jinglin said: Didn't the old concubine say she was unwell before?

The visitor said: After taking the medicine, the old princess has recovered. I heard that two ladies from the capital have come to the mansion. The old princess asked the slaves to invite the two ladies to sit in the Shou'an Hall.

Xiao Jinglin paused, and could only say: I'll take them to Shou'an Hall to meet the old concubine, Yaoqi, you go back and talk to my mother. Xiao Jinglin was afraid that Ren Yaoqi would be angry in front of the old concubine, so she wanted to send her away. Princess there.

But the person who came said: The servant sent someone to report to the princess, princess, Miss Ren, the two young ladies should get up with the servant.

Ren Yaoqi gave Xiao Jinglin a look, indicating that nothing happened, so Xiao Jinglin had no choice but to give up.

In this way, several people went to the Shou'an Hall of the old princess together.

The old concubine has been unhappy ever since something happened in Ningxia, especially after her granddaughter Wu Yiyu got married, Xiao Wei wanted to see her daughter several times but never saw her, but the power of the Zeng family and his son in Ningxia and the Wu family It is already evenly matched, maybe the Wu family will be weaker, Xiao Wei has nothing to do with them.

Xiao Wei once wanted to ask the old concubine to ask Yanbei Palace to intervene, but Xiao Wei never informed Yanbei Palace of their marriage with the Zeng family. up.

Later Xiao Wei also figured it out, the Yanbei Palace was afraid that she would not get along with the Zeng family so that she could take advantage of the fisherman, but after she figured it out, she didn't dare to make too much trouble.

How can the old princess feel happy seeing her daughter and granddaughter suffer? But what can she do? King Yanbei didn't come out of her stomach, and no one in Yanbei Palace would listen to her. Her natal family is far away in the capital, but now that Prince Xian's Palace is on the rise, Prince Yanbei's intention is to form an alliance with King Xian to fight against the imperial court. The old concubine There is no more to rely on.

Therefore, the old concubine became ill with anger, but her temper was worn out. So when Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi got engaged, she didn't have the strength to come out and make a mess.

When they entered the palace, the old concubine was sitting at the top still looking very imposing, but Ren Yaoqi felt that the old concubine's aura seemed to be supported by gorgeous hair crowns and clothes, which was less than before. A bit of confidence as it should be.

Several people went forward to greet her.

The old concubine raised her hand to let them stand up, her gaze flicked over Ren Yaoqi, then stopped on Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu, and then a smile appeared on her face: Let me guess, the one on the left is the girl from the Yan family, The one on the right is a girl from the Zhao family.

Yan Ningshuang raised her sleeves and covered her mouth with a smile: How did the old concubine guess it?

Zhao Yingqiu also laughed and said, The old princess has really good eyesight.

I met the queen mother when I was young, and the girl from the Yan family was five or six points similar to the queen mother back then. The remaining one is the girl from the Zhao family. The queen mother spoke kindly to them, but to Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yao Qi Qi didn't pay much attention to them, and although he didn't deliberately show their faces, they could be detected by comparing the hatchback.

After that, Empress Dowager Yan kept talking to Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu, asking them about the capital. The old concubine has been married to Yanbei for decades, and she still misses her hometown, so the three of them chatted a lot.

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin were sitting at the side drinking tea, and they couldn't get in the way.

However, Ren Yaoqi felt that it was better to be treated coldly than to make things difficult. At least the old concubine did not punish her in front of Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu today, so she should be content.

After finally sitting on the sidelines and listening to the old concubine's chat, the concubine finally sent someone over to invite them to dinner.

But the old concubine said: I have hit it off with these two girls, you go back and tell the concubine that I will let them have dinner in Shou'an Hall.

The maid sent by the princess could not help but glance at Xiao Jinglin.

The old concubine noticed it, and immediately sneered: What? I can't even keep a guest?

Xiao Jinglin waved the maid to go down, and then said to the old concubine: Of course you have the final say.

The old concubine glanced at her, then at Ren Yaoqi, feeling a little upset, and said a little angrily: Yan girl and Zhao girl stay here, you go to the princess to have dinner.

Xiao Jinglin took advantage of the situation and stood up, pulled Ren Yaoqi and saluted: Yes, grandma. The posture was very submissive.

After eating, I'll send someone to pick you up. Xiao Jinglin nodded to Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu again.

Yan Ningshuang looked at them, then at the old concubine, and smiled slightly.

Ren Yaoqi also smiled and nodded towards them, and then left the Shou'an Palace with Xiao Jinglin.

The two went back to Jiuyang Palace, the princess didn't say anything when she saw the two of them came back, and the three of them sat together and had a meal.

After the meal was finished, the concubine sent someone to pick up Yan and Zhao when they came back.

Afterwards Yan and Zhao wanted to bid farewell and go back to the other hall. Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to leave together, but was stopped by the princess. After Yan and Zhao left, the concubine asked Madam Xin to bring Le Shan and Le Shui up.

I asked Madam Xin to bring these two maids. Let's go back with you today. There are many people and things going on in Yunyang City these days. It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days. There are many people around you. It’s more convenient for a few people.”

Le Shan and Le Shui are now dressed in the clothes of maidservants in the palace, and they look very energetic.

Ren Yaoqi didn't expect Xiao Jingxi to put someone in front of the concubine to teach|teach her, and she blushed a little.

The concubine seemed to understand what she was thinking, and patted her hand: The rules are for outsiders, so it's natural for the whole family to do whatever is convenient for them.

When Ren Yaoqi heard this, she was very grateful to the princess.

So, when he went back, Ren Yaoqi had two maids, Le Shan and Le Shui, beside him.

Xiao Jinglin still sent Ren Yaoqi into the carriage before going back. The carriage slowly drove out from the Yanbei Palace. When it reached the outer hall, Ren Yaoqi glanced out through the curtain of the carriage blown away by the wind, and then couldn't help but I was stunned.

She lifted the curtain of the car a little, and glanced at a place a little further away.

Yan Ningshuang, who had already left before, didn't know why she hadn't left yet. She was standing in a small pavilion in the outer hall of the palace and talking, while standing opposite her was Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi should have just come back from the outside, and the cloak on his body has not been taken off yet.

Ren Yaoqi's hands paused, and she lowered the curtain before Xiao Jingxi turned her head.

The maidservants looked at each other, then lowered their heads silently.

Apple was silent for a moment, then moved over and poured a cup of tea for Ren Yaoqi, and said awkwardly: Miss, drink a cup of tea to warm your body.

Ren Yaoqi took it, lowered her head and took a sip, then raised her head and looked at her helplessly from the maids, she couldn't help being a little amused: Why are you all looking at me?

Le Shan and Le Shui looked at each other, Le Shan said: Miss, don't be angry, maybe it's not what you saw.

Han Jiageng, to comfort the children who have been wronged, as evidenced by the thick and long king, the author loves you...
