Scheme of the Official Descendant

Ren Yaoqi thought about it, and was about to reach out to open the box, but was stopped by Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Jingxi took off the lock of the machine, and gently opened the lid of the box.

It was just an ordinary sandalwood box, and there was no mechanism inside, but the things in the alley made Ren Yaoqi stunned.

It seemed to be a piece of clothing inside, and Ren Yaoqi was surprised that the color of this piece of clothing turned out to be bright yellow.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was only one person who could wear bright yellow clothes, and that was the emperor in the south.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi in surprise.

Xiao Jingxi didn't look surprised, he reached out and took out the robe from the alley, it was indeed a dragon robe embroidered with a nine-clawed golden dragon.

After taking a look, Xiao Jingxi put the dragon robe aside, and then picked up another boxy thing wrapped in bright yellow silk cloth at the bottom of the box.

Ren Yaoqi leaned over curiously: "What is this?"

Xiao Jingxi smiled helplessly: "I guess it might be the one everyone wants... Trouble."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but froze.

Xiao Jingxi put the thing wrapped in silk on the confession case, but he didn't rush to open it. Instead, he turned his head and asked Ren Yaoqi with a smile, "Do you still remember the two edicts of the former emperor from Concubine Wan Gui?"

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Of course I remember."

Concubine Wan had two posthumous edicts, one exiled Xianwang's family to Yanbei for more than ten years, and the other made Xianwang become the king of Hezhong.

"Do you guess whether these two edicts are real or fake?" Xiao Jingxi blinked, and his tone was relaxed, as if asking Ren Yaoqi, do you think I hid the chess pieces in my left hand or my right hand.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and then said: "Fake."

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help laughing: "Oh? Why is it fake?"

Ren Yaoqi did not answer Xiao Jingxi's words, but turned her attention to the object wrapped in bright yellow silk on the confession case, and pondered: "This is a jade seal? And it is a real jade seal."

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch Ren Yaoqi's nose, and then opened the bright yellow silk, revealing the boxy object wrapped underneath, the jade is warm and moist, with chi buttons, six sides, It really is Yuxi.

"Do you know why even the Pei family recognizes the two secret edicts in Concubine Wan's hand?" Xiao Jingxi looked at Yuxi in his hand and asked with a smile.

Back then, when King Xian took out the former emperor's secret edict to become the king of Hezhong, if not even the Pei family believed that the secret edict was true, things would not have gone so smoothly.

"Even the Empress Dowager Yan and the emperor suspected that the Pei family had colluded with Concubine Wan Gui. In fact, this is not the case. In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the most loyal to the Li family was the Pei family." Xiao Jingxi smiled, "Pei Zhiyan may be with you Concubine Wan Gui has some personal relationships, but they are only personal relationships. The Pei family will not have any political ties with Concubine Wan Gui because of this. Even Pei Zhiyan himself, if the emperor grants him death, he can thank the Lord Long En without changing his face and then He crashed his head against the Golden Luan Hall."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being startled when she heard the words, she knew that what Xiao Jingxi said was true, although Mr. Pei seemed free and unrestrained and didn't care about anything, what he believed in his heart was that "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. "

Ren Yaoqi sighed: "So the reason why the Pei family recognized those two edicts is because of Yuxi?"

Xiao Jingxi nodded: "Actually, the real jade seal disappeared after Xia Weiming's death. This jade seal has been passed down for four dynasties. After the jade seal disappeared, Gaozu sent people to search for it secretly, and at the same time had someone make a fake seal. The one used by the emperor is a fake. Today, the only people who know about this matter are Yanbei Palace, Xianwang Palace and The Patriarch of the Pei family is now, and even the current emperor has been kept in the dark, thinking that he has the real seal in his hands."

The current emperor was not established as the prince by the previous emperor, so he didn't know that this royal secret was also reasonable.

Xiao Jing paused, and then said: "Actually, when Emperor Gaozu made the fake seal, there were two of them made of the same piece of jade, but because one was slightly flawed, Gaozu ordered it to be destroyed, but he didn't want to accept the order People don't know why they secretly kept that jade seal, and they don't know why it fell into the hands of Concubine Wan Gui."

Xiao Jingxi talked about these things as easily as if he was telling a story, but Ren Yaoqi was breaking out in a cold sweat.

"That's why the Pei family didn't recognize the imperial edict because they colluded with Concubine Wan, but because the Patriarch of the Pei family recognized that the seal on it was the fake seal, and he did it because he was afraid that the fake jade seal would ruin the royal family's face... ..."

Xiao Jingxi said with a smile: "The two fake jade seals are different except that the one in Wan Guifei's hand is slightly flawed. If it is printed on paper, there is no difference at all, so perhaps the Pei family It is also unclear whether the two edicts are true or false, but they cannot tell the truth, it is really wronged."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help sighing: "Your great-grandmother Wan Guifei is really a powerful woman. If she was born like Queen Dowager Yan, the world will definitely be different."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help imagining another pattern that Xiao Jingxi said in her mind.

If Concubine Wan Gui had the family power of Empress Dowager Yan, there would be no suspense for King Xian to ascend the throne in the first place. Then there will definitely be no political struggles between the aristocratic families behind the auxiliary ministers to seize power, and the court will have enough energy to deal with the Yanbei Palace. Can the Yanbei Palace still have the momentum it is today?

So from Xiao Jingxi's standpoint, he should be glad Concubine Wan was born as a commoner. The internal strife in the southern court for so many years gave Yanbei Palace a good opportunity to rise rapidly.

However, Ren Yaoqi did not raise this sensitive issue again, but asked curiously: "Then where is the other fake jade seal...?"

Xiao Jingxi blinked: "Guess?"

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

Xiao Jingxi put the jade seal back into the box, held Ren Yaoqi's hand and said with a smile, "Actually, you should be able to guess it, right? The other jade seal is now in the hands of your grandfather."

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

"The owner of this box is related to Xia Weiming?" Ren Yaoqi finally recovered her voice and asked.

Xiao Jingxi nodded: "It is said that Xia Weiming had a female subordinate who had a close relationship with him and gave birth to a daughter for him. Before Xia Weiming was killed, he realized something was wrong and gave the real jade seal to this female subordinate to let her Take him out of the palace. Maybe the Zhai family has something to do with Xia Weiming's daughter."

Ren Yaoqi frowned: "So it's related to the Xia family, no wonder the feng shui pattern of the whole house is so weird."

Presumably that female subordinate or her daughter still has some ambitions to make a comeback under the banner of Xia Weiming.

Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but looked at Xiao Jingxi with a strange expression, and muttered: "It seems that a useful way for a high-ranking man to preserve his blood is to use the outside room and cast more nets." The Lei family and the Wu family Isn't that the case?

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi with a half-smile: "Madam? What are you muttering about? Are you talking ill of your husband?"

Ren Yaoqi coughed lightly, and changed the topic: "Before you opened this box, you guessed that this box was related to General Xia?"

Xiao Jingxi didn't ask what she was muttering just now, but pinched her face gently as a warning: "Didn't we look at those dozen boxes before, the first box The famille rose General’s statue was given to General Xia by Emperor Taizu. The pair of luminous cups in the second box were presented by the Xiqiang people in the palace. I just took out the calligraphy and paintings in the fifth box. I took a look at one of the pictures, and there was General Xia's Tibetan seal on it. That's why I was sure that these things were related to him. As for the secret words of the lock, I guessed it three times, and finally guessed it was the "Dashun Red Tiger Army" Shun is Xia Weiming's year name, and the Red Tiger Army is the name of the most famous army under his command."

Ren Yaoqi had known for a long time that Xiao Jingxi was thoughtful, but she didn't expect that he would deduce the identity of the owner of the box based on these clues, and finally guess the secret words of the lock, and she couldn't help admiring her.

"Okay, we've finished reading the rare treasures, we should go up. You can't bear to stay here for too long." Xiao Jingxi put the dragon robe back in the box and put the lock on, then pulled Ren Yaoqi's lock. The hand is about to leave.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glanced back at the box, and asked hesitantly, "That...you won't take it?"

What she was talking about was the jade seal. According to what Xiao Jingxi said, the significance of passing on the jade seal of the country is very important. Doesn't Xiao Jingxi want it?

Hearing this, Xiao Jingxi looked back at Ren Yaoqi, with a smile in his eyes but also with a bit of seriousness: "Do you want it? If you want it, I will take it."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being stunned. She understood that what Xiao Jingxi was asking was not just the jade seal, but what that jade seal symbolized...

Meeting Xiao Jingxi's gaze, Ren Yaoqi was silent for a moment, and then seriously replied: "If you want it, I want you to take it."

Xiao Jingxi sighed with a smile, hugged Ren Yaoqi in his arms, and then pressed a solemn kiss on her forehead, but then said nothing, took Ren Yaoqi's hand and left the secret room without looking back. .

It wasn't until the two of them were halfway up the steps that Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "I want to hold you with one hand, and hold a torch to watch the way with the other. I don't have any extra hands to hold other insignificant things. After a while Let Xiao Hua come down and get it."

Ren Yaoqi's eyes became hot for some reason when he heard the words, and then he tightly held Xiao Jingxi's hand.

Xiao Jingxi suddenly smiled and said: "Well, if the outer room is following, I will let her hold a fire bag in one hand and hold a box in the other to open the way ahead. It is really a mistake for my husband today."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing, and pinched Xiao Jingxi fiercely with the other hand.

After coming out of the secret room, Xiao Hua still dutifully guarded by the rockery, Xiao Jingxi ordered him to go down and bring up the locked box and the other box that had been filled with calligraphy and paintings, Second Young Master Xiao never forgot to please himself at all times Father-in-law.

After the two got into the carriage together, Ren Yaoqi asked, "Has anyone from the Han family ever entered the secret room?"

Xiao Jingxi hugged Ren Yaoqi and leaned against the wall of the car, thought for a while, and said: "The rest of the Han family should have never gone down, but Han Yunqian... I guess he has been to the secret room. He may have guessed Zhai The Xia family is involved with the Xia family, but he has never opened the locked box, otherwise, no matter whether he wants the thing or not, he would not be able to keep the thing. And when I just opened the lock, I heard the sound of the box I realized that the lock hadn't been opened for many years."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "No wonder he gave all the things in the secret room to Yanbei Palace as favors, he is smart."

Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile and asked, "Oh? How clever?"

Ren Yaoqi analyzed each and every one of them: "Although those things are priceless, they are all hot potatoes. If you are not careful, you will get angry. It's no wonder that the Zhai family didn't bring them with them when they fled south. It has always been a taboo for the imperial court. Apart from the imperial court, only Yanbei Palace and Xianwang Palace are the only ones who dare to take over these things. Secondly, Han Yunqian’s doing so is tantamount to personally handing over his fatal handle to you, so that you can You can use him with confidence. He exchanged a bunch of things that are no different from scrap copper to him in exchange for the trust and support of the Yanbei Palace. Is this deal worth it? Next, he guessed that the Zhai family After the relationship with Xia Weiming, he never opened the locked box out of curiosity, and those who can restrain their curiosity at critical moments often live longer than ordinary people.” Otherwise, if Han Yunqian really opened the box , because of Chuan Guo Yuxi, his life might not be saved.

Xiao Jingxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then hugged Ren Yaoqi in his arms, Ren Yaoqi was startled by his sudden movement.

Xiao Jingxi gently touched the tip of Ren Yaoqi's nose with his own, kissed her on the lips, and murmured coquettishly: "Don't think about others thinking so thoroughly, I will feel uncomfortable too."

Ren Yaoqi blushed when she heard this, and pushed him, but instead of pushing him away, Xiao Jingxi caught her lips, and the soft kiss quickly turned into an entanglement of lips and teeth.

Before the carriage drove into the Yanbei Palace, Ren Yaoqi had already tidied herself up with Xiao Jingxi's help. Other than the blush on her face, no one else could guess what happened in the carriage just now.

When the two came back, the sun had already set in the west, and it was the time of sunset.

Because Xiao Jingxi had something to deal with, he got off the carriage alone in the front hall, and Ren Yaoqi went back to the inner hall by himself. As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw a group of people walking in front of me.

Ren Yaoqi looked up, only to find that it was Zhao Yingqiu.

These days, Zhao Yingqiu still comes every few days to pay respects to the old concubine and the concubine, and sometimes stays in Shou'an Hall for dinner, and most of the time he leaves after paying respects. Can often see.

Zhao Yingqiu came up to greet Ren Yaoqi, glanced at the carriage that Ren Yaoqi got off just now, and said with a smile: "Did the young lady go out with the second son just now?"

Ren Yaoqi smiled, changed the topic and said, "I like the tea that Miss Zhao gave me last time, thank you very much."

Zhao Yingqiu smiled and said: "My mother brought it from the capital. It's not a precious thing. If the young lady likes it, I still have a lot. I'll bring you some next time."

Ren Yaoqi thanked him politely.

Originally, the two came here after exchanging pleasantries, and they should go their separate ways, but Zhao Yingqiu didn't intend to leave immediately, instead he said with a smile: "By the way, Ningshuang will come in two months. There is going to be another happy event in Yanbei Palace."

Ren Yaoqi heard the words and remembered that Yan Ningshuang had been betrothed by the queen mother to Xiao Jingyue, the third young master of the Xiao family. Before Ren Yaoqi heard Madam Xin mention that the wedding date was approaching, she didn't pay much attention at that time. Now it seems that the wedding date is just Next month.

Therefore, Ren Yaoqi nodded and smiled and said: "It is indeed a happy event, the old princess and princess are also very happy these days."

Ren Yaoqi was purely talking nonsense with her eyes open, not to mention that it was rare for her to see the old concubine, how could she know that the old concubine was happy, angry, sad and happy. The old concubine sees her getting close to Concubine Yun, and every time she sees her, it's like seeing something dirty, and she won't bother. Even the queen's evaluation of this happy event could not be happy.

But Zhao Yingqiu was still able to continue: "Yes, the old concubine asked questions today."

The two chatted a few more gossips before Zhao Yingqiu politely left.

Speaking of which, Zhao Yingqiu thought that she was a gentle girl, and wanted to befriend her, but for some reason Ren Yaoqi couldn't get close to her, every time the two met they just chatted about irrelevant nonsense.

Ren Yaoqi accidentally saw a small Sophora japonica flower in her hair when she passed by Zhao Yingqiu, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, but left without saying anything.

After returning to Zhaoning Palace, Ren Yaoqi asked Apple to find out where Zhao Yingqiu went after he came to Yanbei Palace today.

Apple came back to report: "Miss Zhao greeted the old concubine and the concubine respectively, and sat in the old concubine's longevity hall for about half an hour, and did not go anywhere else."

"Has the princess met her before?" Ren Yaoqi asked.

I don't know if it's because the king of Yanbei is rarely in the mansion these days, and the princess of the Liao Kingdom seldom appears in front of people. I heard that she reads and practice calligraphy in her study every day, because she heard that the prince likes to be knowledgeable and sensible. Talented woman.

Apple said: "The princess happened to meet Miss Zhao who came out from the old concubine today on the way to Zangshuge. The two just greeted each other and didn't talk much."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help thinking when he heard the words.

The reason why she asked Apple to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhao Yingqiu and Princess Liao was because only the Lengxiang Courtyard where Yelv Sage lived had locust trees in the entire Yanbei Palace.

In fact, Ren Yaoqi just asked casually on a whim, and did not conclude that Yelu Sage and Zhao Yingqiu were related. The pagoda tree flower on Zhao Yingqiu's head might have been brought in from outside by her.

After asking, Ren Yaoqi temporarily put the matter aside.

These days, Yanbei Prince's Mansion seems to be very peaceful. Except for being a little more active when Yanbei King is at home, Yelu Sage is usually very low-key and rarely goes out.

One day at the end of May, the Han family and the Yun family ushered in a long-lost happy event. The young master of the Han family, Han Yunqian, married the second daughter of the Yun family, Yun Qiuping.

I heard that at the request of the Han family, the wedding date of the eldest young master of the Han family and the second young lady of the Yun family was advanced a bit, and the Yun family agreed because they were very satisfied with this young master. Many people know that the Han family is now almost headed by this Young Master Han. Because of the recent illness, Mr. Han has handed over most of the things in the Han family to Young Master Han. The old man is about to die, and the Han family and the Yun family are afraid that Han Yunqian will be filial when the old man leaves, so they rush to advance the wedding date.

Han Yunqian had built a three-entry mansion in Yunyang City a year earlier, and his marriage was held in this mansion, and he did not return to Baihe Town. Han Yunqian's grandfather couldn't attend his wedding due to physical discomfort, and his grandmother didn't come to take care of Mrs. Han, but his stepmother Jiang brought Miss Han to Yunyang City a few days earlier to help prepare for the wedding, busy inside and outside With great dedication, Jiang's reputation for being virtuous and capable soon spread.

Both the Yun family and the Han family were decorated with lights and festoons on this day, creating a lively scene.

The young master of the Han family sat on a tall horse and went to the Yun's house to greet his relatives. His handsome and steady appearance made all the girls and young women in Yunyang City blush and red-eyed.

Naturally, Ren Yaoqi also knew about Han Yunqian's marriage that day. Out of gratitude to Han Yunqian, Ren Yaoqi also sent a modest gift in the name of herself and Xiao Jingxi, which was very good for the Han family. .

This is the first time that Han Yunqian's new house has so many guests.

When he finished banqueting the guests, he was still walking steadily towards his yard when he found his sister Han You sitting alone on the railing of the veranda leading to the main house.

Seeing Han Yunqian entered the yard, Han You quickly stood up, walked up to Han Yunqian, and called out eagerly, "Brother."

Han Yunqian was indifferent when facing outsiders, but he looked at his only sister with gentle eyes: "It's so late, why don't you go to bed? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Han You didn't know why his nose was sore, so he walked forward slowly, held Han Yunqian's hand like he did when he was a child, and looked up at him: "Brother."

Han Yunqian didn't avoid her hand, and let her hold it childishly, his voice became more gentle: "What's wrong? Where did you feel wronged?"

Han You shook her head sullenly, and didn't speak, just holding her brother's hand.

Han Yunqian was very patient and didn't rush her, just stood with her in the veranda.

It took a long time before Han You plucked up the courage to ask, "Brother, why did you advance your wedding date?"

Han Yunqian couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, and patted her head: "Because this time is more suitable. Why would you ask this? Are you afraid that your brother will leave you alone after getting married?"

Han You shook her head: "I'm not worried about this, I just...just think you, brother..." She took a peek at Han Yunqian, and then said in a barely audible voice, "You don't like Miss Yun Er."

Han Yunqian lowered his eyes slightly, and then lightly patted Han You on the shoulder: "No such thing, go back to sleep quickly."
