Scheme of the Official Descendant

Both Xiao Shun and Ren Yaohua are resolute figures, so after Xiangqin Xu got married, it was very easy for both of them to prepare for their marriage.

Xiao Shun has an official position in Yanbei Prince's Mansion. Xiangqin's marriage was considered a high-end marriage, and the marriage is more solemn than ordinary maids. Even so, Ren Yaohua still set the wedding date in October, and Xiangqin was very sad about it. For a while, she thought that her master was eager to kick her out, until Sangshen persuaded her that the master wanted her to marry earlier to take care of the second young lady who was pregnant, and Xiangqin became happy again.

Although Ren Yaohua disliked the maid Xiangqin on the face, she was not ambiguous at all when giving her the dowry. Added a lot of make-up to Xiangqin, so that Xiangqin, the first maidservant, is no worse than ordinary young ladies from rich families, and many people are really envious.

At the same time, the Yun family and Zhao Yingqiu were also busy with the marriage. After Zhao Yingqiu's wedding date was set, Zhao Yingqiu seldom went out. Although the Zhao family prepared a generous dowry for her, Zhao Yingqiu still insisted on embroidering the wedding dress and wedding dress by herself. Shoes and socks dedicated to my uncle.

The relationship between Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu was not bad, they handed handkerchiefs when they were in Beijing, Yan Ningshuang was a little depressed these days, so she often went to visit Zhao Yingqiu in other courtyards, and they chatted together to relieve boredom.

In the afternoon of this day, Yan Ningshuang went out to another courtyard to talk to Zhao Yingqiu after lunch. Zhao Yingqiu was doing needlework with two big maids. The embroidery is vivid.

Yan Ningshuang sat aside and watched, and suddenly said, "Yingqiu, why did you come to Yanbei?"

The needle and thread in Zhao Yingqiu's hands paused slightly, then he looked up at Yan Ningshuang, and said with a smile: "This is what the queen mother wants, can I still resist the order and disrespect?"

Yan Ningshuang was immersed in her own thoughts, and when she heard the words, she just said wearily: "At the beginning, the Empress Dowager ordered to select famous ladies and ladies to come to Yanbei, and all the families reported that they were concubines who were not favored at home. Girl, no one who is really favored is willing to come. Only I... Only I knelt in front of the Queen Mother and begged her for three days before she agreed. I have a reason why I must come to Yanbei, but why are you Want to come? You are still favored at home, and the empress dowager is willing to dote on you. If you stay in the capital, you will definitely get a good marriage. When the Li family decides for you, your husband's family will not dare to treat you poorly you."

Zhao Yingqiu was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly, raised his head and said, "I grew up in the capital, and the farthest place I have been to is Zhaode Temple, which is 80 miles away from Beijing, so I have longed for Yanbei since I was a child. What? Is it okay for me to come to Yanbei? I can still be your companion."

Yan Ningshuang was in a bad mood, she didn't notice Zhao Yingqiu's intentional ambiguity to her question, she just said to herself: "I'm just sorry for you, I heard that the reason why the eldest son of the Yun family has refused to get married is because he has someone he likes If you marry, aren't you afraid that the two of you will end up in the same bed with different dreams?" Yan Ningshuang thought of her own marriage as she spoke, with a trace of pain in her eyes.

Zhao Yingqiu smiled, lowered his head and continued to thread the needle, his hand holding the needle and thread was still steady: "Isn't it too early to think about this now? This is a matter of the future."

Yan Ningshuang looked at Zhao Yingqiu and sighed. There is a sense of sadness that is connected with fate.

Zhao Yingqiu suddenly said: "By the way, Yanbei will be lively again in a while? I heard the people below talk that the imperial court and the Liao Kingdom will soon reopen the border trade. Presumably there will be fewer wars."

Yan Ningshuang didn't know what to think of, and frowned: "It's too early to make a conclusion."

Zhao Yingqiu looked up at Yan Ningshuang in surprise: "What?"

Yan Ningshuang shook her head and refused to talk further.

Zhao Yingqiu smiled, and didn't care, just said casually: "I heard that when the imperial court signs the letter of credence with the Liao Kingdom, there will be people from Yanbei Palace."

Yan Ningshuang's eyelids twitched: "Who is going to Yanbei Palace?"

Zhao Yingqiu thought about it. He said casually: "I don't know, but I guess it should be the second son of Xiao, right? The prince and the people of Liao are fighting every year. I heard that the people of Liao want to kill the prince and hurry up. It is the most appropriate occasion for the second son of Xiao to come forward."

Yan Ningshuang was startled when she heard the words, and almost jumped up: "No! He can't go!"

Zhao Yingqiu gave Yan Ningshuang a strange look: "Why can't you go? If Second Young Master Xiao doesn't go, who else can go to Yanbei Palace?"

Yan Ningshuang's face turned pale, but she couldn't say anything.

Zhao Yingqiu saw that she didn't speak. Then she bowed her head to embroider her mandarin ducks again.

Yan Ningshuang was sitting there restless, and after an unknown amount of time, she stood up suddenly, scaring Zhao Yingqiu so much that she poked a needle on her finger, and a tiny bead of blood was printed on the half-embroidered Enter hipa.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Yingqiu asked worriedly.

Yan Ningshuang shook her head: "I suddenly remembered something else. I'm going back first, and I'll see you next time." After saying this, before Zhao Yingqiu could speak, she left in a hurry.

Zhao Yingqiu watched her back disappear into the room, smiled slightly, lowered her head and embroidered an eye on the blood stain just now, blood red mandarin duck eyes.

After Yan Ningshuang returned from the other courtyard, she went straight to Zhaoning Hall, but this time she was stopped outside the hall without any accident.

"I have something important to see your young lady." Yan Ningshuang said anxiously.

The woman guarding the door said respectfully: "Our young lady is resting, third young lady, you should come back another day."

"I have to see Ren Yaoqi for something urgent! I will regret it if I don't see her!" Yan Ningshuang said with emphasis.

The woman guarding the gate apologized apologetically, but refused to let Yan Ningshuang in.

Yan Ningshuang gritted her teeth, and turned around to leave, but when the woman guarding the gate turned around, she suddenly turned around, leaped past the two women guarding the gate and rushed in.

The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stepped forward to stop her: "Third Young Madam!"

These back door women outside the Zhaoning Hall all had one or two brushes, so they quickly stopped Yan Ningshuang. Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Yan Ningshuang looked up and saw a young woman dressed as a woman coming out from the inside, and immediately recognized that this was a confidant of Ren Yaoqi, who also stayed behind when she was looking for Ren Yaoqi last time. There is no avoidance in the hall.

"Wait, go and report to Ren Yaoqi for me. I have something important to tell her." Yan Ningshuang said hastily.

The young woman was Apple, the steward of Zhaoning Palace, she glanced at Yan Ningshuang without moving.

Yan Ningshuang looked around, and then quickly said: "I am willing to tell her about the last time I found your young lady, and there is no need for her to promise me any conditions. Go and report it for me, and she will be willing." See me."

Apple watched her silent for a while, seemed to think about it, and then said: "Wait a moment." Then he turned and went in again.

When Ren Yaoqi heard that Yan Ningshuang had come again, she was a little helpless, but after listening to Apple's report, Ren Yaoqi thought about it for a while, and let Apple go and Yan Ningshuang stay in.

When Yan Ningshuang came in, she was a little out of breath, and there was thin sweat on her forehead.

Ren Yaoqi called someone to serve her tea, but was interrupted by Yan Ningshuang: "I know you don't like me, and I don't like you either. I'm not here today as a guest. I'm here because of Xiao Lang."

Ren Yaoqi was not annoyed when she heard the words, and asked the little maid who served tea to leave first, leaving only the two maids, Apple and Leshan, to serve. She changed her cynicism from the previous time, and said in a gentle and authentic tone: "Miss Yan has something to say but don't worry about it." It's okay to say."

Yan Ningshuang rushed to find Ren Yaoqi this time because she had figured it out, she couldn't sit back and watch Xiao Jingxi fall into a trap, even though both Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi rejected her request, she still couldn't deal with it. My sweetheart is cruel.

So this time, Yan Ningshuang didn't hold back, and asked straightforwardly: "It won't be long before the imperial court will formally sign a border trade document with the Liao Kingdom, do you know about it?"

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, nodded and said, "I heard Jinglin mention it before."

Yan Ningshuang frowned: "At that time, the imperial court will ask the Yanbei Palace to also send someone there. Do you know who is going to the Yanbei Palace?"

Ren Yaoqi said: "What does Miss Yan want to say?"

Yan Ningshuang sighed, real worry appeared in her eyes: "I heard that it was Xiao Lang who went, I wonder if it's true?"

Before Ren Yaoqi could answer, Yan Ningshuang continued: "No matter what, Xiao Lang must not go, because this trip will be very dangerous, and it is very likely that he will never return."

Although Ren Yaoqi was slightly startled when she heard the words, she remained calm on the face: "Why did Miss Yan say that? But where did you hear about it?"

Yan Ningshuang said: "The last time I came to you, I wanted to talk about this matter. This time when the imperial court signed the document with the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Jingyue would find a way to follow him, but he didn't have any good intentions in the past, but wanted to take the opportunity to set up an ambush. Murder. I wasn't sure who he was going to kill before, but now I know that the person he wants to kill is Xiao Lang."
