"The Yanbei Palace has existed since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The first Yanbei King Xiao Mingzhan and Emperor Taizu fought together, and their military exploits were so prominent that they threatened Emperor Taizu's throne. At that time, Xiao Mingzhan and the army in the hands of Emperor Taizu. The south and the north were divided, and seeing another melee, Emperor Taizu persuaded the Pei family and Xia Weiming to stand on his side, and in the end the first king of Yanbei could only accept the reward and return it to Yanbei to be a vassal king." Xiao Jingxi's gentle voice always makes people feel calm.
However, Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised that Xiao Jingxi told her what to do
When the first King of Yanbei and Emperor Taizu were mentioned in the history books, they were famous generals of Mingjun, who were peaceful and could be regarded as a model of the relationship between monarch and minister. He didn't want to say it out of Xiao Jingxi's mouth, but he was so tense.
"Yanbei Wangfu has always been a thorn stuck in the throat of the imperial court. When I think about it, it hurts so much, but I can't pull it out. After the third Yanbei king succeeded to the throne, it was already under Emperor Gaozu's world. Emperor Gaozu was A very bold and talented emperor. It happened that the third prince of Yanbei had many heirs at that time. There were five direct sons alone. One litter was fighting for the position of the heir. Emperor Gaozu secretly provoked, and the result was a dozen The sons killed each other, half of them died in the infighting, and there was chaos in the Yanbei army. The court took the opportunity to attack at this time, and the entire population of the Yanbei Wangfu, including the third Yanbei King, was almost killed by Gaozong, and they escaped by chance. There was only the youngest son. It was a pity that Gaozu was already old at that time, and Gaozong who succeeded the throne was mediocre and weak in character. Yanbei lost the guard of Yanbei Army, and finally fell into the hands of the Liao people, until the son Xiao, who was lucky enough to escape. Qishan made a comeback on his own as the king, and drove the Liao people out of the customs. At that time, Zhongzong was already frightened and worried all day long that the Liao people would go south in one fell swoop. Taking control of Yanbei, the imperial decree was issued, and the Yanbei Palace was once again a justifiable existence."
Xiao Jingxi smiled, with a calm smile, neither excited nor sarcastic. As if telling a story, not the history of his own family.
Ren Yaoqi still didn't understand why Xiao Jingxi suddenly mentioned this to her.
Moreover... Xiao Jingxi talked to her about the grievances between the imperial court and the Yanbei palace so casually, which made her a little stressed. Because some of these things are not recorded in the hidden history books.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled leisurely: "Okay, now we are even?"
"what?"
"You also know that my family is secret." Xiao Jingxi said slowly.
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
She finally knew why Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but want to stretch her paw and scratch when she saw Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Shixian is really bad at beating most of the time.
"Actually, I want to tell you." Xiao Jingxi paused, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Ancestors' grievances and grievances belong to their ancestors. People die like a lamp, and all grievances are gone. Look at the Li family who killed me Xiaoxiao. The family is full, won't my grandfather still marry the daughter of the Li family? Shouldn't I still call the enemy's daughter grandmother?"
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
"Just say you..." Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi with a playful look, "Don't you also have the blood of the Li family? Jinglin and I didn't treat you like that, right?"
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi finally knew what it means to laugh or cry, and at the same time, she felt that it was useless to look good, and she couldn't increase her goodwill at all when she was annoying.
But it is undeniable that, being so disturbed by Xiao Jingxi, most of the annoyance in Ren Yaoqi's heart has already dissipated.
"Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for the solution." Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly, very insincerely.
Xiao Jingxi accepted the thanks with a light smile: "Well."
"Why did you go to my grandfather's mansion today?" For some reason, when he spoke again, Ren Yaoqi felt that his tone was much more casual.
Xiao Jingxi thought for a while: "What do you get in exchange?"
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled: "Look, I know your family's secret history, and I exchanged my family's secret history with you. You want to know my private affairs now, do you need anything in exchange? "
Ren Yaoqi once again felt that Xiao Jingxi, this fox, was unstoppable! But he couldn't stop stabbing him for a while, and he just waited here.
Ren Yaoqi squinted at Xiao Jingxi: "Actually, I don't really want to know, Young Master Xiao doesn't need to say it."
Xiao Jingxi heard the words with regret.
Ren Yaoqi was going to get up and leave, but Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't plan against your grandfather's family."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him and said nothing.
At this time, the door to the west wing opened, and Shui Ai came out.
The little girl didn't know what her grandmother said just now, her eyes were red and her tears were still dry. When he saw Ren Yaoqi, he came over, knelt down and kowtowed to Ren Yaoqi: "Fifth Miss."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and asked her to get up.
"It's getting late, I'm going back. This time, I would like to thank Young Master Xiao." Ren Yaoqi turned around and said to Xiao Jingxi, this time his thanks were much more sincere.
Xiao Jingxi nodded: "Jinglin asked you when to find her, and she sent someone to pick you up."
Ren Yaoqi remembered that he had made an appointment with Xiao Jinglin to go to Yanbei Palace to accompany her to learn the piano.
"The day after tomorrow, I'll go back to Lin's house tomorrow."
"The water in the Lin family is not shallow, so be careful yourself." Xiao Jingxi said warmly.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, then glanced at Xiao Jingxi, who looked down at the teacup and said something casually.
Ren Yaoqi didn't know what to do, knowing that he was reminding him intentionally, he bowed his knees, and then let Apple and Xiangqin, who were standing far away, come over.
Saying goodbye to the Zhu family, Ren Yaoqi went home.
On the carriage, Xiang Qin looked at Ren Yaoqi with a confused expression. She remembered what her young lady had told her to be optimistic about the fifth young lady, so just now when the fifth young lady spoke to the young master Xiao alone, she was a little worried about whether she had not completed the task given by the good master.
But looking at the calm-faced Fifth Young Lady and the expressionless close-fitting maid Apple, Xiangqin felt that it would be a bit stressful if she asked.
In the end, when she was about to get off the carriage, maid Xiangqin remembered, as if the third lady just wanted her to watch over the fifth lady and not have contact with the second young master Yun? The third miss did not say that the fifth miss was not allowed to talk to others!
As a maid who needs to serve two masters and has little time to spare, it doesn't seem like a good quality to be meddling? So the parsley is as calm as the apple.
On the second day, when returning from Baoping Hutong, Mr. Rong was very reluctant and dragged Ren Yaoqi to talk for a while.
In fact, Ren Yaoqi didn't want to go back. It was much more convenient to live in his grandfather's house than in Lin's. But it was Ren Shijia who opened her mouth to stay in Yunyang City, and even though Ren Shijia was relying on her, it was not good for her to go too far.
Even if she doesn't like her grandmother, she now has to be controlled by the Qiu family. The word filial piety crushes people.
But as soon as he returned to Lin's house, Ren Yaoqi immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right.
