Apart from being puzzled by King Yanbei's decision, the world is also secretly observing the attitude of Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Xiao family. As we all know, although the Second Young Master Xiao is not in good health, he was basically in charge of Yanbei's affairs when King Yanbei was not in Yunyang City. The position is given to the eldest grandson who is far away in the stable. Could it be that the second son who holds real power in his hands can be convinced? Many people in Yanbei began to worry that there would be a rift between the prince of Yanbei and his son because of this matter.

Some people began to suspect that it was a helpless move for King Yanbei to make such a decision. Second Young Master Xiao’s physical condition might be getting worse. In order to avoid a passive situation, King Yanbei had to make a fuss about his eldest grandson first, otherwise Xiao Er If the young master catches an affair, Xiao Heng, the concubine brother of King Yanbei, may take this opportunity to rise up. Rather than letting Xiao Heng take advantage of the loopholes, it is of course more in the interest to appoint his own grandson as the eldest son earlier.

And in the next period of time, the Second Young Master Xiao really showed up less in front of people. Although Xiao Jingxi seldom appeared in the public's sight on weekdays, he usually participated in some important political affairs in Yanbei. Even if he didn't appear in person, the relevant official documents would pass his hands. However, since the King of Yanbei asked to make Xiao Weiyong his son, Xiao Jingxi almost disappeared in Yanbei, and even the confidants of the Yanbei Palace had no chance to see him again.

So more and more people believed that Second Young Master Xiao was seriously ill.

However, regarding Xiao Jingxi's condition, the Yanbei Palace has always kept secret. King Yanbei's complexion is also very ugly these days, so ordinary people don't dare to listen to him. As for the inside of the Yanbei Palace, they can't find anything. They only know that Xiao Jingxi seems to be staying in his yard all the time. When going out, although there are doctors coming and going in and out of Zhaoning Palace, but Second Young Master Xiao usually asks for pulse once every two or three days when he is free, and the smell of medicine is constantly in the yard.

There are endless speculations about Yanbei Palace and Xiao Jingxi outside. Second Young Master Xiao himself had a very relaxed and comfortable life these past few days. At this time, he and Ren Yaoqi were in the study looking at the paintings and calligraphy he had collected over the years.

Xiao Ergongzi is a person with a wide range of hobbies, although calligraphy and painting are not the biggest interest among his many hobbies. But his collection is quite a lot, at least compared to Mr. Ren who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting. The treasures in hand are not inferior.

Ren Yaoqi took out the paintings and calligraphy collected by Xiao Jingxi to appreciate one by one, and couldn't help being amazed from time to time.

Xiao Jingxi was sitting next to Ren Yaoqi, looking at Ren Yaoqi with a smile. Ren Yaoqi looks at paintings, he looks at people.

Since the two got married, because Yanbei was in an eventful season, Xiao Jingxi was very busy every day, this was the first time after they became husband and wife that they had so much time to spend leisurely together.

Ren Yaoqi dug out a painting and exclaimed: "You actually have a collection of Tang Miao's ladies here! My father's two favorite figure painters when he was young, one is Jiang Yuanyi and the other is Tang Miao."

Compared with Jiang Yuanyi, Tang Miao's paintings are even harder to get. Firstly, because Tang Miao lived far away from them, and secondly, there are very few works left by this master. Ren Shimin once spent several years trying to get people looking for Tang Miao's painting at any cost, but unfortunately he only found a broken one in the end. There is only half of it left, and even wanting to repair it has become a problem.

Xiao Jingxi hugged Ren Yaoqi's waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's just right, I'm just thinking about what gift I should give my father-in-law on his birthday. Here is this Draw a picture."

Ren Yaoqi's shoulders were aching and itchy, and she couldn't help hiding, turning her head and laughing: "Well, he will definitely like it."

Seeing her turn her head, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but kissed her lips lightly. Ren Yaoqi was leaning in his arms, and his perfect profile was facing her with a slight tilt of her head. Compared to their acquaintance, the two of them didn't speak for a while, but the atmosphere in the study was very sweet.

"Father-in-law likes it, what about me?" Xiao Jingxi rubbed the tip of Ren Yaoqi's nose and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Ren Yaoqi blinked.

Xiao Jingxi said aggrievedly while kissing her: "I didn't receive your gift on my birthday, how can I compensate me?"

Ren Yaoqi was stunned: "Isn't your birthday already passed?" Before the two of them got married.

Xiao Jingxi didn't speak, just looked at Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't stand his gaze the most, even though she knew that Xiao Jingxi was probably pretending on purpose, she still compromised and said, "Then what do you want?"

A smile appeared on Xiao Jingxi's face, dazzled Ren Yaoqi's eyes. He thought for a while, and then whispered a few more words in Ren Yaoqi's ear.

Ren Yaoqi blushed uncontrollably when she heard this, glared at Xiao Jingxi in embarrassment, and turned her head to ignore him.

Xiao Jingxi saw that Ren Yaoqi's attention had been attracted by the Xie again, so he rubbed the tip of his nose against her neck, and asked persistently, "Is it okay? Is it okay?"

Ren Yaoqi was so annoyed by him, she raised her hand and pushed him, blushing and said angrily, "No! What are you thinking about every day!"

Xiao Jingxi was not annoyed when he heard the words, just looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help but look over at Ren Yaoqi.

Finally Xiao Jingxi sighed: "Okay, let's forget it. Then I want another one?"

Ren Yaoqi gave him a squinting look: "What kind?" If Xiao Jingxi was no longer serious, Ren Yaoqi decided to get up and leave.

Xiao Jingxi seemed to see what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, put his arms around her waist, and said with a smile: "Don't you know how to draw? Draw one for me."

Ren Yaoqi thought it would be easy to handle, so she nodded: "Okay, what to draw?"

Xiao Jingxi blinked, and then said: "Just draw me."

Ren Yaoqi was taken aback when she heard the words, and said with some hesitation: "I seldom draw characters." And...although she has always been confident in her painting skills, she is not confident that she can paint Xiao Jingxi's charm.

But Xiao Jingxi said: "It's okay, I just want to see me in your eyes."

Ren Yaoqi was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, and felt that Xiao Jingxi must be teasing her again, but when she was about to get angry, she saw that Xiao Jingxi's ears were also a little red, although he still looked calm and teasing. For some reason, Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jingxi was very cute, so she swallowed the refusal and nodded her head.

Xiao Jingxi smiled at her, and then pulled her up. Just as Xiao Jingxi was about to polish Ren Yaoqi's ink, Tong Xi came in: "My lord, I hope you are back."

Ren Yaoqi was overjoyed when she heard the words, Zhu Ruomei is back? She looked at Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "Someone is here?"

Tong Xi looked at Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi, rolled his eyes, and said proactively: "Come on, but I've been outside with Master Mu and the others for a long time, why don't you let him come back in an hour?"

Xiao Jingxi was about to agree, but Ren Yaoqi tugged at his sleeve lightly, and said, "I'm a little tired, I'll go back and have a rest first." Zhu Ruomei has been away for a few months, and she's coming back now There must be something important to report to Xiao Jingxi, Ren Yaoqi didn't want to delay Xiao Jingxi's business.

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought about it, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go over to have dinner with you when I see him."

Ren Yaoqi nodded and left the study.

After Ren Yaoqi came out of the study, she went to Jiuyang Hall.

In the Nine Sun Palace, the princess was receiving a few wives, when Ren Yaoqi entered, those wives got up and saluted.

The princess called Ren Yaoqi to her side, and asked softly, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Ren Yaoqi felt that although the wives did not deliberately look this way, their attention was on the conversation between her and the princess.

Ren Yaoqi nodded lightly, and gave a vague "hmm".

The concubine sighed lightly, let her sit beside her, and then talked to the ladies again.

Ren Yaoqi listened carefully for a while, and found that although the wives did not blatantly inquire about the affairs of Yanbei Wang Li's son, they would still inquire about the news during the conversation, and the princesses sent them back one by one.

After the wives left, Ren Yaoqi asked, "Are these from Shunzhou?" She could tell that they spoke with an accent from Shunzhou.

The concubine nodded, and pressed the center of her eyebrows wearily: "Well, there are quite a few people coming to Yunyang City these days."

Ren Yaoqi also knew that now that Xiao Jingxi was free, the concubine was quite busy this time around. She got up and walked to the side of the princess: "Mother, let me massage you."

Seeing that the princess had no objection, Ren Yaoqi massaged the acupuncture points on her head that could relieve fatigue.

When the concubine felt better, she patted her hand lightly: "Okay, don't feel sore for a while, come and sit down."

Ren Yaoqi pressed the button again, and then sat down beside the princess.

Wang Hao glanced at her with a smile: "Who did you learn this trick from? It's really useful."

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "When I was at home, I learned from my mother."

The concubine was a little surprised when she heard the words, as if she didn't expect that Mrs. Li would serve people like this.

Ren Yaoqi smiled and didn't explain, her mother was soft-tempered but still had the arrogance of the Li family. Naturally, she didn't bother to learn to serve people, but there was one exception, that is, as long as her father needed her, she They will learn, and learn very well.

The concubine didn't ask any further questions, she took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said: "The people who have entered the mansion these days are basically here for the affairs of the new prince."

Ren Yaoqi was not surprised to hear this.

Every time the power is changed, it is the time for the people below to stand in line. Although the situation in Yanbei is relatively good, there are still some people who can't sit still, but those who can't sit still are those who are far away from the power center. Families, at least the big families in Yunyang City and some of the best families in other states have been quiet recently, and there is no movement.

The author seems to have owed two updates last month and didn't make up?

Originally, because I was going to travel far away on the 3rd of this month, and the return date was undecided, I wanted to save some manuscripts in advance, but I didn't save them.

I will continue to update as much as possible during the trip, and continue to work hard for this month... I hope I can persist until the end of the month... 〒_〒
