Scheme of the Official Descendant

It stands to reason that the demands of the courtiers are not excessive.

King Yanbei is still a feudal lord no matter what, and the stability of Yanbei is related to the safety of the entire northern territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is reasonable for courtiers to care about the successor of King Yanbei. But at this time, no one would think that it is a simple matter for the court to pay so much attention to the candidates for the heir of Yanbei Palace.

At this time, another rumor caused an uproar in Yanbei.

An old nanny who was born in the Yanbei Palace spoke nonsense on her deathbed, and accidentally revealed a big secret, that is, Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Yanbei Palace, is not actually the son of the Yanbei King.

It is said that the princess was poisoned when she was pregnant with her first child. Although the child was born later, she still had toxins in her body, and she was not suitable for pregnancy at all in the next few years.

But the eldest son was sent to the capital as a hostage shortly thereafter. At that time, the Yanbei Palace urgently needed a young son to calm people's hearts, so the princess took the child of her sister who died of dystocia as her own child and raised it by her side. The child is the Second Young Master Xiao.

However, the Second Young Master Xiao is not the biological son of King Yanbei after all, so the Yanbei Palace announced that the Second Young Master Xiao is not in good health, so that after the concubine recovers and gives birth to the next son, the Second Young Master will be able to take care of himself." It's a pity that after several years of recuperation, although the princess got pregnant again as she wished, what she gave birth to was not a son but a daughter.

In order to successfully conceive the second child, the princess asked a midwife to give her a secret medicine. The medicine is three-point poisonous. Although the secret medicine allowed the princess to conceive smoothly, it also hurt her body. Therefore, after giving birth to her daughter, the princess has never been able to conceive a child again. Because of this, Second Young Master Xiao has existed until now.

Although there are some secrets in every famous family, the secrets of the Yanbei Palace that were exposed this time shocked the entire Zhou Dynasty. Although some people believe it, some people don't.

Those who believed thought, no wonder King Yanbei was reluctant to appoint the second son as his son even after his son passed away. At first he thought it was because the second son was in poor health, but it turned out that the second son's surname was not Xiao at all.

Those who don't believe it think that this is a conspiracy created by the court, in order to disturb the hearts of the Yanbei Palace and achieve their ulterior motives.

Regardless of whether the world believes it or not, the issue of the life experience of Second Young Master Xiao has become the most talked about topic among the common people in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty after dinner. Everyone is waiting for Yanbei Palace to come forward to refute the rumors.

It's a pity that it's disappointing that the Yanbei Palace didn't react at all to this rumor, as if they didn't hear it, what should be done or what to do, Yanbei Palace is busy with the marriage of the second son Xiao, it seems to want Use actual actions to prove the absurdity of this rumor.

Ren Yaoqi was shocked when she heard this, but she did not believe that Xiao Jingxi was not born to the princess. Ren Yaoqi can understand the princess's feelings for Xiao Jingxi from her attitude towards herself, not to mention that Xiao Jingxi's appearance is somewhat similar to the princess's. This is not because Xiao Jingxi is the son of the princess sister Works.

So although there was a lot of commotion outside, what Ren Yaoqi cared about was the motives behind the people who spread such rumors.

It's just that her wedding is approaching, but this kind of incident happened, Ren Shimin and Li Shi are very worried. Ren Yaohua, Ren Shijia, and even Ren Shimao have all come to ask, worrying that Ren Yaoqi's marriage will be affected by this matter.

At this time, Grandmother Rong also sent a letter to Ren Yaoqi. The letter was very short, with only four words: Be safe and don't be impatient.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and showed Rong Shi's letter to Li Shi, and Li Shi finally felt relieved after seeing Rong's letter. Others can't believe it, but her own mother can always believe it. Since Rong asked them to be calm, it means that the rumors outside are probably not true, and Ren Yaoqi's marriage will not be affected by this matter.

So the Yanbei Palace and the Ren family were still calmly preparing for the wedding.

Not long after Rong's letter was delivered, the King of Hezhong sent a make-up gift to Ren Yaoqi. He loaded a whole nine carriages with the emblem of the Prince of Hezhong's mansion on them, and drove all the way from the city gate to Ren Yaoqi's gate. At that time, it attracted the attention of everyone in Yunyang City. King Xian has been keeping a low profile since he left Yanbei and became the King of Hezhong. This is the first time that the Hezhong Palace has made a high-profile appearance in front of everyone.

When the same things were carried from the carriage and moved into Ren's mansion, there was also a person dressed as a servant who called the name. The scene was more solemn and formal than when the big families gave the dowry, and it was much more high-profile and eye-catching.

One emerald bamboo crown with two phoenix crowns, two sets of red gold and eight-treasure heads and faces, two red gold inlaid jade heads and faces, four pairs of gold step rocks inlaid with precious stones, four pairs of jeweled chisels, two pairs of eight-treasure gold and eight-treasure bracelets, one golden silk inlaid jewel bracelet Yes, a pair of phoenix-headed beaded bracelets, a pair of red gold eight-treasure bracelets, twelve taels of pearls, twenty pieces each of silk, silk, gauze, and Luo, four pieces of Yanju clothes, a total of twenty-four sets of four-season clothes, and scarlet closures. Nine pairs of gold suitcases, six quilts of various colors, four white silk bed sheets...

In addition, the Hezhong Palace also added some fertile land and two other courtyards to Ren Yaoqi's dowry. It is worth mentioning that one of the two courtyards is near the Sun Moon Hot Spring outside Yunyang City. One of them is located in Jinzhou, the territory of the King of Hezhong. It can be seen from the house deeds that these two courtyards occupy a very large area.

It’s okay for King Hezhong to send Ren Yaoqi to Yanbei’s other courtyard, but sending him to another courtyard near his territory will inevitably make people feel that he wants to support his granddaughter who is about to marry into Yanbei’s palace, as if telling Yanbei Wangfu, Ren Yaoqi also has the natal family of Hezhong Wangfu.

Counting these things in detail makes people dazzled. How can this be the routine of ordinary people marrying daughters? This is to marry the princess, right?

Some people thought that even if King Xian went to Hezhong to become the king, the Hezhong Palace would definitely be a show, and they could only look at it, but they didn’t want to let people see the strength of the Yanbei Palace this time when the Hezhong Palace made a move. This is just marrying a granddaughter, and the Prince of Hezhong's mansion is such a big deal, so it can be seen that King of Hezhong's family fortune will never be too thin!

So the Hezhong Palace added makeup to Ren Yaoqi this time, not only to express the importance it attaches to this granddaughter, but the Hezhong Palace showed the world his strength in a high-profile and reserved manner in a stunned way. After this incident, No one dared to underestimate the Prince's Mansion in the middle of the river.

The Ren family was also very surprised when they saw the makeup ceremony of this carriage, Li Shi was especially excited. No one else understood, only she understood that these were the dowry promised to her by her grandmother when she was teasing her when she was still young. It's a pity that when she got married, the royal palace was in ruins, and her dowry was not honored, but now it is honored on her daughter.

From this, Li Shi also understood that her father, king and mother concubine have seen and remembered the grievances she has suffered these years. Isn't this a compensation for her?

Although the Ren family's house is quite spacious, when all the nine carriages were moved in, they still occupied the entire front yard. In the end, Mrs. Li had to use the entire east room left by Ren Yaohua after she got married to put these decorations. Those who couldn't put it down were temporarily carried to the courtyard where Ren Shimin used it as a study, and the place where Master Ren was the most spacious in the whole mansion. Mr. Ren, who has always regarded money as dung and listed his study as a forbidden place at home, turned a blind eye this time and said nothing

The makeup of Ren Yaoqi by the Hezhong Prince's Mansion was so powerful that it shocked the whole Yanbei. It seemed that the makeup of the rest of the people was much more shabby. However, compared to other married daughters, Ren Yaoqi received quite a lot of money.

Ren Shijia and his wife gave Ren Yaoqi 4,000 taels of silver at the bottom of the box, and also gave Ren Yaoqi two shops and a courtyard. Although it was not as good as the courtyard given by Hezhong Wangfu, it was also a very good one in Yunyang City. Lot too.

Ren Shijia and his wife put more makeup on Ren Yaoqi than they did on Ren Yaohua, but it can't be blamed that Ren Shijia and his wife favored one another. Ren Yaoqi's relationship with Ren Shijia and the Lin family is different from Ren Yaohua's relationship with them.

In addition to Ren Yaoqi's credit for the smooth survival of Ren Shijia's children, it is also because of Ren Yaoqi's secret help that Lin Kun was able to leave the Lin family and set up a new family after getting back what he deserved.

Even now, the Lin family is able to gain a firm foothold in Yanbei under the overt or covert suppression of the family, and it is even better than the Lin family in all competitions. It is also because Lin Kun and Lei The relationship of the secret alliance of the family. And this is also the result of Ren Yaoqi Hanxuan.

Ren Shijia and his wife didn't say anything, but they knew it in their hearts, so they felt that it was light to add makeup to Ren Yaoqi. It's just that Ren Shijia is only an uncle and aunt after all, and there are still a few unmarried nieces, so it's not good to be too blatant and discriminate against one another, which makes people unhappy.

Master Ren Wu and his wife also added makeup to Ren Yaoqi. Although it is not as generous as Ren Shijia and his wife, it is still very generous.

The Ren family's old house also sent something to Ren Yaoqi, but the third master Ren didn't accept it, so someone sent it back as it was, which made the old lady Ren so angry that she scolded her son at home for not knowing what to do.

What Ren Yijun and his wife gave to Ren Yaoqi was accepted by Ren Yaoqi, although it was just a pair of jade pendants and a few hairpins.

In addition, Mrs. Xu, Ren Yaoqi's husband, also sent makeup to Ren Yaoqi. Unlike others, Mrs. Xu did not send gold, silver and jade. rare book.

What surprised Ren Yaoqi the most was that Pei Zhiyan also gave her a gift. Mr. Pei's gift to Ren Yaoqi was a piano. This piano was not made by a famous master, but Ren Yaoqi knew that it was made by Mrs. Pei when Pei Zhiyan's wife was still alive. Pei Zhiyan has been carrying it with her all these years around.

Wishing all mothers and mothers-to-be good health and happiness^^~
