Scheme of the Official Descendant

King Yanbei looked at his birth mother, Princess Yun.

Concubine Yun was silent for a while, and then asked the old concubine, What do you mean... is it the rule that the older the better?

The old concubine glanced at Concubine Yun, thinking that Concubine Yun wanted to contradict her, and said with a sneer, This is the filial piety that future generations should fulfill! There is no such thing as good or bad, only right or wrong! People like us , the rules should be higher than the sky.

Concubine Yun couldn't see any displeasure on the face of the old concubine's sarcasm, she just said coldly: What you said is also reasonable, but you may not know the original family rules of the Xiao family.

Concubine Yun's words made everyone stunned. The old concubine especially hated Concubine Yun's attitude of not paying attention to others, so she immediately asked, What do you mean? I don't know, do you know?

Concubine Yun said unhurriedly: I do know that before you entered the Xiao family's door, the family rules of the Xiao family are that only after giving birth to a son can enter the family tree, not after giving birth to a child. So if you follow As you said, the sooner the rules are set, the better, so she is not the only one who should not be on the genealogy.

Concubine Yun's words made the old princess turn pale with anger, and she slapped the table on the spot: Nonsense! Your lord, you just let your biological mother slander your aunt like this? Are the rules of Yanbei Palace still in place? gone?

King Yanbei was named innocently, and he blinked: What? Aren't we discussing the new daughter-in-law's entry into the family tree?

Concubine Yun said softly: It's just a matter of fact, why do you vent your anger on him. So what if I'm the biological mother? It's me and not you who went to guard the mausoleum of the old prince. What are you dissatisfied with? Why don't we trade? To keep the old prince as a companion? We are talking about family rules now. The reason why you were able to enter the family tree of the Xiao family back then was because of your different identities. Later, the old prince simply changed the family rules so that you can Enter the genealogy. If you don't believe me, go and look through the old family rules of the Xiao family decades ago to see if I'm bluffing you?

The old concubine was so speechless by Concubine Yun, she was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.

This kind of thing happened countless times when these two were in the same room for decades, so everyone in the Xiao family was no stranger to it. One day these two people suddenly got along well, which would scare people.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become tense, Xiao Jingxi looked at his mother.

The concubine came out calmly to smooth things over: Speaking of which, no one's family rules are static. These are old things, so let's not mention them today.

Concubine Yun didn't say anything more, but the old concubine couldn't sit here anymore, she stood up and said, I shouldn't have come here today! You and your family can decide on your own! After speaking, she left in a huff.

The princess hurriedly asked to stay, but the old princess had already left the side hall, and the princess glanced at the prince.

At this time, Concubine Yun also stood up: You can decide for yourself, I will drink this cup of tea next time. After speaking, Concubine Yun left without waiting for the concubine to speak.

Ren Yaoqi stood below and watched, she was a junior and a bride, she had no place to speak when gods fought. But seeing the back of Concubine Yun getting up and leaving, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help thinking.

Just now, on the surface, Concubine Yun seemed to be indifferent to everyone, and even when she went to guard the mausoleum of the old prince, she seemed dissatisfied with King Yanbei, but Concubine Yun was at the right time. Relieved them, because the only one present who could match up with the old concubine was Yun Taifei.

Moreover, the purpose of Concubine Yun's departure is different from that of the old concubine. The old concubine left because of Concubine Yun's anger, but Concubine Yun was because of the old concubine's sentence, If there is anything, you and your family can decide on your own!

If Concubine Yun didn't leave, the accusation that the old concubine had left because of their alliance would be confirmed, and the king of Yanbei would not have to be embarrassed if she also left. From the perspective of outsiders, this is just another battle between the East Palace and the West Palace.

All the people present were silent for a while, and then King Yanbei said: The two elders are getting old, and they have not been sitting together for a long time. You can respect their tea at another time, so what should you do now? On the genealogy record. What a big deal!

Xiao Jingyue smiled and said, Then grandma doesn't care?

King Yanbei glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, What do you want to do? Take your grandmother's name off the family tree?

Xiao Heng hurriedly stopped Xiao Jingyue in a low voice, and apologized to King Yanbei: He is a child who is not sensible, and he has always spoken out loud. My lord, please forgive me.

Xiao Jingyue also followed his father's words and apologized obediently: Yes, uncle, my nephew has always been outspoken and can't speak well. Don't be as knowledgeable as an idiot like me.

King Yanbei looked at them and smiled meaningfully: Of course this king will not be angry with the younger generation, but Jingyue, you are not young anymore, and you are about to start a family and start a business, so you should be careful in your words and deeds on weekdays. .At home, if the elders can tolerate you, then they will tolerate you. After going out of this door, you also represent our Yanbei Palace. If you make a mess and then seek tolerance from the elders, it is to ask the elders to show favoritism, which is not acceptable.

Xiao Heng's expression froze when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked tentatively: Why did the prince say that? But what did he do out there and someone came to you to complain?

King Yanbei said: Didn't I remind him? His temperament is really worrying. Don't wait until you have committed something irreparable. You, as a father, have to treat your son on weekdays. It's the snacks.

Xiao Heng quickly agreed, seeing that Xiao Jingyue still wanted to speak, Xiao Heng secretly gave him a hard look, Xiao Jingyue shrugged, finally being honest.

As soon as Xiao Jingyue was honest, things went much smoother, and no one came to interfere with the ceremony,

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi offered tea to the prince and concubine first, and received two big awards. Afterwards, Ren Yaoqi met with the second household of the Xiao family according to their seniority, and Xiao Heng and his wife also gave gifts. The population of Xiao's family is relatively simple, and the recognition ceremony was completed very quickly.

Afterwards, under the decision of the prince, Ren Yaoqi's name was successfully included in the Xiao family's genealogy. The old concubine and Concubine Yun are not here, and the biggest one is King Yanbei, so naturally he has the final say.

Except for the unhappiness at the beginning, this morning went smoothly, at least Ren Yaoqi became the daughter-in-law of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion justifiably.

After coming out of Chengde Hall, the prince said to Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi: Go and offer a cup of tea to the old concubine, and talk with her before going back.

Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi agreed, and the prince and princess returned to Jiuyang Palace first.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi, hesitated for a while and said, I won't go today. Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi were going to offer tea to Concubine Yun, would she follow? Suitable, with Xiao Jingxi by her side today, Xiao Jinglin is not worried that Ren Yaoqi will be wronged.

Xiao Jingxi smiled and nodded: Okay, you can go back first, and I will go to you later. Second Young Master Xiao felt that when he was not at home, his wife and sister could stay together as companions, and so could Xiao Jinglin. Protect Ren Yaoqi from suffering. After all, it is impossible for the princess to protect Ren Yaoqi by her side all the time, and it is not appropriate for the prince to always go to Jiuyang Hall when Ren Yaoqi is at home.

Xiao Jinglin nodded and left first.

Xiao Jingxi simply asked the maids and wives who followed him to retreat, and went to Concubine Yun's Lanxi Palace like Ren Yaoqi took a walk.

Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and asked softly, Are you tired?

Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to answer that she was not tired, but suddenly remembered the joke in the boudoir of the two of them before, she was a little speechless, and just gave Xiao Jingxi a look.

Xiao Jingxi smiled lowly and said, What are you staring at me for? I just want to say that this place is still a little far from the Lanxi Palace, so I asked you if you want to take a soft sedan chair.

Ren Yaoqi went her own way and ignored him.

Xiao Jingxi followed and said softly, Are you really angry?

Ren Yaoqi glanced at him: No.

Xiao Jingxi stretched out his hand to hook her finger quietly, Ren Yaoqi was not used to it and avoided it a little, but when Xiao Jingxi's hand caught up again, she didn't move.

The hands of the two were held together through the cover of their sleeves, and they walked all the way to the Lanxi Hall.

When he was approaching the gate of the palace, without waiting for Ren Yaoqi to speak, Xiao Jingxi let her go.

Concubine Yun was in the small Buddhist hall of Lanxi Hall, and she came out when she heard that they were coming.

I heard that the younger generation came to offer tea to her, Concubine Yun didn't say anything, and ordered someone to bring two bowls of hot tea, and when they served the tea, she drank it without any trouble, and even took it from her own The maid took out Feng Hong, which she had prepared early in the morning, and gave each of them one.

Concubine Yun didn't have much to say after that, it was Xiao Jingxi who spoke, and Ren Yaoqi would sometimes pick up a sentence or two, while Concubine Yun listened, nodded occasionally, and simply responded a few times to express herself. I am listening.

Have you gone to Shou'an Hall? Concubine Yun suddenly asked.

Xiao Jingxi said: Not yet, your place is relatively close, so I came to the Lanxi Hall first.

Concubine Yun nodded: Then you go to Shou'an Hall, I have nothing to do here.

Xiao Jingxi smiled and said: It's still early. Let's talk with you again. I heard that you want people to copy Buddhist scriptures. Yaoqi's handwriting is still impressive. Let her write a few for you. If you are satisfied with it, let her copy it for you? There is nothing wrong with her.

This is not Xiao Jingxi's own opinion, they have already mentioned this topic on the way here, and Ren Yaoqi has no opinion.

Ren Yaoqi also knew that it was very important to coexist peacefully with Concubine Yun in Yanbei Palace. After all, on occasions like today, only Concubine Yun was the only one who could blatantly face the old concubine. The premise is that Concubine Yun must be willing to protect you.

Concubine Yun glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought for a while and said: There is no need to write. I saw her handwriting at the Qianjin Banquet last time, and it was very good. But the most important thing in copying Buddhist scriptures is not whether the handwriting is good or not. It's whether you are sincere or not, whether you understand the Buddha's meaning or not.

Ren Yaoqi said modestly: My daughter-in-law is stupid, and I dare not claim to understand the meaning of Buddhism, but I have only read the basic Buddhist scriptures, and there is sincerity.

Concubine Yun said in a low voice: If you are considered dull in aptitude, there will be no smart people.

Ren Yaoqi's performance at the Qianjin Banquet last time was still fresh in everyone's memory, and so was Concubine Yun. What Xiao Jingxi said before has both ability and political integrity, at least half of it is proved.

For Concubine Yun's straightforward praise, Xiao Jingxi was very happy, and even smiled at Ren Yaoqi.

Which scriptures have you familiarized yourself with? Tell me about it. Dowager Yun asked.

Concubine Yun said familiar reading, Ren Yaoqi thought for a while before telling out the few scriptures that she remembered more familiarly.

Concubine Yun nodded, said the titles of several other scriptures, and asked, What about these?

Ren Yaoqi said implicitly: I've read it several times.

Concubine Yun took a look at Ren Yaoqi and asked her a few questions, Ren Yaoqi answered them one by one from memory.

Concubine Yun waved her hand and frowned slightly: Okay, you are more familiar with reading than me.

Ren Yaoqi stopped talking, while Xiao Jingxi laughed.

Concubine Yun said: Come over tomorrow afternoon, half an hour a day is enough to copy, if there is something to do one day, let someone come over and talk about it, it's fine if you don't come.

Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, bowed her head and agreed.

Concubine Yun glanced at Xiao Jingxi: I won't keep you for dinner, you go to Shou'an Hall.

This time Xiao Jingxi obeyed Concubine Yun's words and took Ren Yaoqi to leave.

After the two came out of Shou'an Hall, Xiao Jingxi saw that Ren Yaoqi was thinking, and asked, What are you thinking?

Ren Yaoqi thought about it, and said honestly: I think that the old concubine is not that difficult to get close to. It's just that she still doesn't like her granddaughter-in-law, but it's a good thing if she doesn't make things difficult for her.

Xiao Jingxi smiled: Well, you are so nice, everyone should like it.

Second Young Master Xiao's level of love talk is about to reach its peak, so when it comes to things like talent, he knows everything. Smart people understand everything quickly and don't need to be taught.

Ren Yaoqi blushed because of Xiao Jingxi's praise.

The two walked to the gate of Shou'an Hall. This time they didn't go in directly, but asked someone to go in and report at the gate, and then obediently waited at the gate for instructions.

Not long after, the nurse in the old concubine's yard came out and said to the two apologetically, The old concubine felt a little uncomfortable after she just came back, why don't you two come back another day?

Xiao Jingxi asked: Have you visited the doctor? Let's go in and see the sick.

The nanny hurriedly said: No, no, the old concubine has already fallen asleep. It's just an old problem. I just took a dose of the medicine prescribed by the doctor before. It will be fine after a night of sleep. You two should go back. .”

Xiao Jingxi asked a few more questions, insisted on a few more, but was rejected. In the end, he could only take Ren Yaoqi to leave with regret and disappointment.

In fact, they all knew that the old concubine was unlikely to meet them today, but it was one thing to see them, but another to come or not.

The two of them planned to go back after they left the Shou'an Palace. Halfway through, a subordinate came down to report the matter to Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi had no choice but to send Ren Yaoqi to Xiao Jinglin's place first, and go to busy business first. RS
