Yanbei Wangfu came to pick him up as soon as Chenshi arrived, and Ren Yaoqi was in Xiao Jinglin's carriage.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi getting into the car, Xiao Jinglin's eyes lit up, and she praised without hesitation: "Yaoqi, you look good today."
Ren Yaoqi was wearing the peach-red bottom and white fringed peach-patterned short jacket and white silk skirt that the Yun family gave her last time. The originally frivolous and enchanting colors only made people feel soft and pretty when worn on her body. . The top of the head is the set of jade pearls that Princess Yanbei sent last time, which is low-key and gorgeous.
Ren Yaoqi pursed his lips and smiled, and looked at Xiao Jinglin up and down: "each other."
Xiao Jinglin also went through some grand dressing up today, wearing a long jacket with a lake green and gold piping embroidered with flying phoenix patterns and a pleated skirt of the same color. The emerald gold tassel hairpin hangs on her forehead, covering a pair of thick black hairpins. The sword eyebrows made her look a little softer than usual.
Xiao Jinglin didn't care about dressing up on weekdays. When she woke up early this morning and was stared at by the princess, she was forced to dress up, but now that Ren Yaoqi said this, she was still a little happy. After all, her friend is beautiful and eye-catching, and she can't lose face when she walks beside her.
Xiao Jinglin's carriage had deliberately taken a small road to pick up people, and when they reached the main road, they just met the princess and their carriage. The motorcade of the Yanbei Prince’s Mansion was very large, and there was not much movement along the way. As soon as the carriages from other families saw the emblem of the Yanbei Prince’s Mansion, they avoided to make way for the convoy. However, there were also many pedestrians watching the excitement on the side of the road. They were only affected by the solemnity of the Yanbei Wangfu motorcade. No one dared to make a noise. look up.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but remember that when he was in Kyoto in his last life, he once encountered the Queen Mother driving out of the palace in a car. An elderly woman was pushed out by the crowd and fell onto the imperial road, and was immediately thrown aside by the embargoed army with a spear.
When passing by the main road of Guidongfang, Ren Yaoqi saw that the Ren family's carriage was also parked in an alley next to it, waiting for the carriage of Yanbei Wangfu to pass by first. The other courtyard was not far from Guidongfang. It seemed that Ren Yaoqi went to the hot spring villa before the Ren family.
On the contrary, the Yun family arrived earlier than the convoy from the Yanbei Palace, so they must have made some arrangements earlier.
When Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jinglin out of the car, she saw Mrs. Yun and all the female family members of the Yun family standing in front to greet the old princess, the princess and others. Xiao Jinglin's carriage fell at the end of the convoy, so it was a little far away from them.
Xiao Jinglin didn't hurry to catch up with the group of people, she still followed leisurely with Ren Yaoqi, and Ren Yaoqi didn't want to come forward to attract attention. Xiao Jinglin's approach was exactly what she wanted. He just asked casually, "Mrs. Yun Tai didn't come today?"
What Ren Yaoqi asked was the concubine of the old prince, Xiao Jinglin's direct grandmother.
Speaking of which, Ren Yaoqi went to the Yanbei Palace so many times, but he never met Mrs. Yun Tai once.
Xiao Jinglin said: "Grandmother rarely goes out, and the Qianjin banquet usually doesn't come." After a pause, she whispered again, "Where the old princess is, grandmother usually doesn't show up. She is absent most of the time. In the mansion, he is either guarding the mausoleum for his grandfather or cultivated in the village, and occasionally when he returns to the manor for a short stay, he does not see many people outside.”
Even if Mrs. Yun was the concubine of the imperial court, she was a little embarrassed in front of the old princess, but she was also the mother of King Yanbei. Although the old wangfei could not put on any pretense in front of Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Yun was unwilling to appear in front of others at the same time as the old wangfei.
Ren Yaoqiyuan also just asked casually, and it is even more difficult to inquire about Xiao Jinglin's words. When the princess did not see Xiao Jinglin, she sent the maid Qiluo by her side to call her over.
Ren Yaoqi was thinking that he had already entered Zhuangzi, should he wait for the Ren family to follow them. This hot spring villa is a villa of the Yanbei Palace, and the princess and Xiao Jinglin are going to settle in the main courtyard. The rest will be taken to settle in the guest house, Ren Yaoqi will not be able to follow Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin didn't want to, but she opened her mouth first and said, "There are a lot of people who have come to the Qianjin Banquet this year. It's really inconvenient for a group of people to be in one place. Why don't you stay with me? My yard is big and very empty."
Just as Ren Yaoqi was about to refuse, Qiluo smiled and said, "Miss Ren, the princess said that you should be with the princess, so that the two of you can have company."
Xiao Jinglin had never officially participated in the Qianjin Banquet before. The princess was afraid that Xiao Jinglin would be impatient with this kind of environment, so she finally escaped from the battle and thought of Ren Yaoqi to accompany her. At least the county chief Xiao would be more patient and temperament when Ren Yaoqi was present.
Ren Yaoqi could not refuse anymore, so Xiao Jinglin took her away.
This hot spring villa is very big. If he hadn't seen the scattered roofs and courtyard walls in the villa, Ren Yaoqi could hardly tell that he had entered the villa. The scenery of the villa is very good. On the surface, there is almost no artificial carving, but it can be seen in the layout and subtleties of delicacy and ingenuity.
The main courtyard in the villa is a slightly larger building complex. It is located on a higher terrain, with a row of blue bricks and high walls and glazed tiles. It looks very imposing from a distance.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin honestly followed behind the princess.
Mrs. Wu Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu walked in the front while supporting the old princess. There was also a woman in her thirties and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old walking not far behind the old princess. It should be Mrs. Su and her daughter Xiao Jingyuan. Mrs. Xiao was born in the Su family and was the niece of the old man Su. Xiao Jingyuan's body shape follows her mother's, and she is not as tall as Xiao Jinglin and Wu Yiyu, but her face is very delicate.
Xiao Wei suddenly stopped and looked around, and said "Huh" in surprise: "Mother, did you go wrong? I remember that Lanyue Pavilion went to the right, right?"
Xiao Wei's voice was not low, but after she finished speaking, the surroundings were eerily silent.
An old lady behind the old princess hurriedly leaned into Xiao Wei's ear and said, "County Lord, Lanyue Pavilion is where the princess lives. The old princess is arranged in Jianxue Pavilion." hear.
When Xiao Wei heard the words, she turned her head to look at the princess: "Lanyue Pavilion is the largest place, and there is Yuehua Spring in it, I thought..." She smiled when she said this, "I'm sorry, princess, I haven't When I left the pavilion, I lived in Lanyue Pavilion with my mother, but I didn't expect to change the rules now, and I'm not used to it."
The old concubine said in a low voice, "Where did you get so much talk? Since your father passed away, I've lived in Jianxue Pavilion, what's all the fuss about."
Xiao Wei glanced at the old princess and hesitated, but her eyes were a little red. It was as if the old princess had suffered a great grievance.
None of the people present dared to speak, and the atmosphere was very strange.
Xiao Jinglin suddenly said, "Grandmother doesn't have to blame my aunt. It's understandable that my aunt forgot the rules of our Yanbei palace after being married for more than ten years."
Then Xiao Jinglin looked at Xiao Wei and said seriously: "Auntie, you have to remember this time, Lanyue Pavilion is the residence of Yanbei kings in all dynasties, just like the Jiuyang Palace of Yanbei Palace, this is the rule set by the great-grandfather. . Do you want grandmother and my father to live together? If grandfather is still alive, you have to be angry with your words."
After an eerie silence...
"Puchi!" Xiao Jingyuan couldn't help laughing out loud. Second Mrs. Xiao pulled Xiao Jingyuan's sleeve and glared at her. Xiao Jingyuan immediately bit her lip and lowered her head.
Xiao Wei's face was red and white, and he was choked to the point of foaming at the mouth.
But the old princess twitched her face, pointed at Xiao Jinglin and trembled with anger, and finally said sharply at the princess, "This is the good daughter you taught? What bastards did you say!"
The princess bowed her head without any pressure and admitted her mistake: "It's me who mishandled me." Then she looked at Xiao Jinglin, frowning and rebuking, "Where can you be a child to tell the elder's right or wrong? Go back and copy the Xiao family rules ten times, and hand them over to you tomorrow.
I. "
Xiao Jinglin bowed her head and said respectfully: "Yes, mother." Then she said sincerely to Xiao Wei, "I also ask my aunt to forgive me. Next time my niece will be a little more roundabout, and I won't dare to lecture in person."
"Very good! You are very good!" The old princess sneered after saying this, and walked away.
Xiao Wei hurriedly followed, Wu Yiyu gave Xiao Jinglin a cold look and left.
The princess's expression remained unchanged, and she kept her head bowed.
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "Princess, I took Yuan'er to Lingshuang Pavilion."
The princess straightened up, smiled gently, and nodded: "Go."
When they were all gone, and only the princess was left, Hong Ying behind Xiao Jinglin couldn't help laughing, and the rest of the maids and ladies couldn't help laughing at her smile.
The princess glanced lightly at the people present, her eyes were not harsh, but she made everyone restrain their smiles and lowered their heads, even Xiao Jinglin lowered her head and did not speak.
The princess' eyes stopped on Xiao Jinglin, and finally she just sighed and walked away.
A group of people quickly followed.
Xiao Jinglin watched Ren Yaoqi stick her tongue out, and dragged her away.
King Yanbei did not come, the princess took Xiao Jinglin to live in Lanyue Pavilion, while Ren Yaoqi lived with Xiao Jinglin.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Lanyue Pavilion, which caused the dispute, and couldn't see anything special except for being more sophisticated, and he didn't see the legendary Yuehua Spring.
Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jinglin to the West Cross Courtyard in Lanyue Pavilion. The West Cross Courtyard was not large, with only three rooms, and the one on the north was a bedroom.
Xiao Jinglin took Ren Yaoqi and looked at it roughly: "Do you recognize the bed? It doesn't matter if you live with me? If you are not used to it, you sleep in the bed, and I will fall asleep." Xiao Jinglin has never been a princess, and is with Ren Yaoqi. Time is also habitual to take care of her.
