Scheme of the Official Descendant

Yanbei Prince's Mansion came to pick him up as soon as Chenshi arrived, and Ren Yaoqi was in Xiao Jinglin's carriage.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi getting into the car, Xiao Jinglin's eyes lit up, and she praised without hesitation: "Yaoqi, you look good today."

What Ren Yaoqi is wearing today is the short jacket and white satin skirt with a peach red background and white borders and peach patterns that were given to her by the Yun family last time. The originally frivolous and enchanting colors on her body only make people feel soft and pretty. . The hair on the head is the set of emerald pearls sent by Princess Yanbei last time, which is low-key yet gorgeous.

Ren Yaoqi pursed her lips and smiled, looked Xiao Jinglin up and down: "Each to each other."

Xiao Jinglin also went through some grand dressing up today, wearing a lake green cross-collared long jacket embroidered with flying phoenix patterns and a pleated skirt of the same color with a golden trim, and an emerald gold-covered tassel hairpin hanging from her forehead, covering a pair of thick black hair. The sword eyebrows made her look a little softer than usual.

Xiao Jinglin usually doesn't care about dressing up, and she was forced to do so when she got up early this morning and was stared at by the princess, but now that Ren Yaoqi said this, she is still somewhat happy. After all, her friend is beautiful and eye-catching, so she can't lose face too much walking beside her.

Xiao Jinglin's carriage specially took a small road to pick up people, and when it reached the main road, it happened to meet the carriage of the princess and the others. The motorcade of Yanbei Prince's Mansion is very large, but there is not much movement along the way. When the carriages of other families saw the emblem of Yanbei Prince's Mansion, they avoided to make way for the convoy. However, there were quite a few spectators standing by the side of the road, but they were infected by the solemnity of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion motorcade, and no one dared to make any noise. look up.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but recall that when she was in the capital in her last life, once when she went out, she met the queen mother driving out of the palace. An elderly woman was squeezed out by the crowd and fell onto the royal road. Immediately, the imperial guards used spears to pierce her limbs and threw them aside. There was a stampede among the terrified crowd, and several people were said to have died.

When passing by the main road of Guidongfang, Ren Yaoqi saw the Ren family's carriage parked in a side alley and waited for the carriage of Yanbei Palace to pass first. Their other courtyard was not far from Guidongfang. It seems that Ren Yaoqi will arrive at the hot spring villa before the Ren family members.

On the contrary, the members of the Yun family arrived earlier than the team from Yanbei Palace, so they must have made some arrangements earlier.

When Ren Yaoqi got out of the car with Xiao Jinglin, she saw from afar Mrs. Yun and a group of women from the Yun family standing in front to welcome the old concubine and the princess. Xiao Jinglin's carriage fell at the end of the convoy, so it was a little far away from them.

Xiao Jinglin didn't rush to catch up with the group of people, she still followed behind leisurely with Ren Yaoqi, and Ren Yaoqi didn't want to step forward to attract attention, Xiao Jinglin's approach was just what she wanted. Just casually asked: "Mrs. Yuntai didn't come today?"

What Ren Yaoqi asked was the old prince's side concubine, Xiao Jinglin's real grandmother.

Speaking of which, Ren Yaoqi has been to Yanbei Prince's Mansion so many times, but he has never met Mrs. Yuntai once.

Xiao Jinglin said: "Grandmother seldom goes out, and she usually doesn't come to the Qianjin Banquet." After a pause, she whispered again, "Where the old concubine is, grandmother usually doesn't show up. Her old man is away most of the time In the mansion, they are either guarding the mausoleum for the grandfather or cultivating in Zhuangzi, and occasionally they go back to the mansion for a short stay and don’t see many people outside.”

Even if Mrs. Yun is a side concubine conferred by the imperial court, she is a little embarrassed in front of the old concubine, but she is also the mother of King Yanbei. Although the old concubine couldn't put on airs of being a courtier in front of Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Yun was unwilling to appear in front of people at the same time as the old concubine.

Ren Yaoqi was only asking casually, and it was even more difficult to ask more questions after hearing what Xiao Jinglin said. The princess didn't see Xiao Jinglin, so she sent Qi Luo, a maid beside her, to tell her to come over.

Ren Yaoqi was thinking about whether she should wait for the Ren family to come and follow them after she had entered Zhuangzi. This hot spring villa is a villa of Yanbei Prince's Mansion, and the princess and Xiao Jinglin are going to settle in the main courtyard. The rest of the people will be taken to settle in the guest house, Ren Yaoqi will not be able to follow Xiao Jinglin.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinglin spoke first, "There are quite a few people attending the Qianjin Banquet this year. It is really inconvenient for a group of people to be crowded together. Why don't you live with me? My yard is big and very empty."

Just as Ren Yaoqi was about to refuse, Qi Luo laughed and said, "Miss Ren, the concubine asked you to go with the princess, so that the two of you can have a companion."

Xiao Jinglin had never formally attended the Qianjin Banquet before. The princess was afraid that Xiao Jinglin would be impatient with this environment, so she ran away and wanted Ren Yaoqi to accompany her. At least Princess Xiao would be more patient and tempered when Ren Yaoqi was present.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't refuse anymore, so Xiao Jinglin dragged her away.

This hot spring villa is very big, if not for seeing the scattered and indistinct rooftops and courtyard walls in the villa, Ren Yaoqi could hardly tell that she has entered the villa. The scenery of the villa is very good. On the surface, almost no artificial carvings can be seen, but the exquisiteness and ingenuity can be seen in the layout and subtleties.

The main courtyard in the villa is a slightly larger building complex, located on a higher terrain, with a row of green bricks, high walls and glazed tiles, it looks very grand from a distance, but when you get closer, you can see three layers of heavy guards inside and outside.

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin followed behind the princess obediently.

Mrs. Wu Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu supported the old concubine and walked ahead. There was also a woman in her thirties and a girl of twelve or thirteen walking not far behind the old concubine. It should be Mrs. Xiao's second wife Su and daughter Xiao Jingyuan. Second Mrs. Xiao was born in the Su family. She was the niece of Mrs. Su. Xiao Jingyuan's figure follows her mother's, not as tall as Xiao Jinglin and Wu Yiyu, but her face is very delicate.

Xiao Wei suddenly stopped and looked around, and said "Huh" in surprise: "Mother, did you go the wrong way? I remember Lanyue Pavilion went to the right, right?"

Xiao Wei's voice was not low, but after she finished speaking, the surroundings were strangely quiet.

An old nun behind the old concubine hurriedly leaned into Xiao Wei's ear and said: "Princess, Lanyue Pavilion is where the concubine lives. The old concubine is arranged in the Jianxue pavilion." The voice could make everyone present hear.

Hearing this, Xiao Wei turned her head and looked towards the princess: "The Lanyue Pavilion is the largest place, and there is Yuehua Spring in it, I thought..." She smiled when she said this, "Forgive me, my princess. When I was not out of the pavilion, I lived with my mother in Lanyue Pavilion, I didn’t expect the rules to be changed now, I’m just not used to it.”

The old concubine said softly: "Where are there so many words? Since your father passed away, I have lived in Jianxue Pavilion, so why all the fuss?"

Xiao Wei glanced at the old concubine, hesitated to speak, but her eyes were a little red. It was as if the old princess had suffered a great grievance.

None of the people present dared to speak, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Xiao Jinglin suddenly said: "Grandma doesn't have to blame Auntie, it's understandable that Auntie has forgotten the rules of our Yanbei Prince's Mansion after being married for more than ten years."

Then Xiao Jinglin looked at Xiao Wei seriously and said seriously: "Aunt, you have to remember this time, Lanyue Pavilion is the same as the Nine Suns Palace in Yanbei Palace, it is the residence of Yanbei kings of all generations, this is the rule set by great-grandfather .Is it plausible for you to let my grandmother live with my father? If my grandfather is still alive, I must be angry at what you said."

After a strange silence...

With a sound of "Puchi", Xiao Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, Second Mrs. Xiao pulled Xiao Jingyuan's sleeve vigorously and glared at her. Xiao Jingyuan immediately bit her lip and lowered her head.

Xiao Wei's face turned red and white, and he almost foamed at the mouth from choking.

The old concubine's face twitched, she pointed at Xiao Jinglin and trembled with anger, and finally sternly said to the concubine: "This is the good daughter you taught? What nonsense are you talking about!"

The princess bowed her head and admitted her mistake without any pressure: "I did not discipline properly." Then she looked at Xiao Jinglin, frowned and blamed, "Where is it your turn to say the elders' right or wrong? Go back and copy the Xiao family's family rules ten times, and hand them over to Xiao Jinglin tomorrow."

I. "

Xiao Jinglin bowed her head and said respectfully: "Yes, mother." Then she said sincerely to Xiao Wei, "Please forgive me, my niece will be a little more devious next time, and I don't dare to preach face to face."

"Very well! You are very well!" The old princess sneered and left after saying this.

Xiao Wei hurriedly followed, Wu Yiyu gave Xiao Jinglin a cold look, and left too.

The princess's complexion remained unchanged, and she kept bowing her head in a respectful gesture.

Mrs. Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Princess, I have taken Yuan'er to Lingshuang Pavilion."

The princess straightened up, smiled gently, and nodded: "Go."

When they were all gone and only the concubine was left, Hong Ying behind Xiao Jinglin couldn't help laughing, and the rest of the maids couldn't help laughing when she smiled.

The concubine glanced lightly at the people present, her eyes were not harsh, but it made everyone restrain their smiles and bow their heads, even Xiao Jinglin bowed her head and did not speak.

The concubine's eyes stopped on Xiao Jinglin, and finally she just sighed and walked away.

A group of people hurriedly followed.

Xiao Jinglin watched Ren Yaoqi stick out her tongue, and also pulled her away.

King Yanbei didn't come, the princess took Xiao Jinglin to live in Lanyue Pavilion, and Ren Yaoqi lived with Xiao Jinglin.

Ren Yaoqi took a look at the Lanyue Pavilion that caused the dispute, and she couldn't see anything special except that it was more exquisite, and she didn't see the legendary Yuehua Spring.

Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jinglin to the Xikua Courtyard of Lanyue Pavilion. The Xikua Courtyard is not big, with only three rooms, and the north one is a bedroom.

Xiao Jinglin took Ren Yaoqi to have a rough look: "Do you recognize the bed? It doesn't matter if you live with me? If you are not used to it, you sleep in the bed, and I will fall asleep." Xiao Jinglin has never had the airs of a princess, and she was with Ren Yaoqi Time is also a habit to take care of her. RS
