Second Young Master Xiao did not hear Ren Yaoqi's slander, and continued: "I should have returned earlier, but I ran into some trouble on the way, and it happened that I received some news about Ningxia, so I pretended to avoid the assassination and turned around. Jinzhou, this time, thanks to the people who offered King Xian, I covered up my whereabouts."
Ren Yaoqi heard something, and couldn't help but raised his head and said, "cover up your whereabouts? You didn't get rid of those chasing soldiers to escape back to Yunyang City, but... but to Ningxia? You were picked up in Kyoto before. The news about Ningxia received is that the imperial court intends to take action against Ningxia, so the plan is to get a golden cicada to escape from Jinzhou?"
The surprise in Xiao Jingxi's eyes gradually dissipated, and his smiling eyes looked at Ren Yaoqi and jokingly said, "I suddenly found out that it's not a good thing to have someone who is too smart around me, at least when I want to show off, I won't find an opportunity. ."
Ren Yaoqi also smiled: "Mr. Xiao is reminding me that when I see you in the future, do you need to retreat and take a detour?"
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi finally understood why Xiao Jinglin always likes to choke Xiao Jingxi with words, because after doing so, she will feel better.
She couldn't help raising the corner of Yang's mouth: "Now you can show off what you have done in Ningxia. I heard that the imperial court has re-appointed a Ningxia general surnamed Zeng, who is on his way to take office."
Seeing the smile on the corner of Ren Yaoqi's mouth, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but smile, the cars and horses on the way were exhausted, and the happiness and exhaustion of rushing through the night seemed to be gone: "Zeng Lu? He wants to take over Ningxia now. It’s still a little bit worse. The Wu family has been operating in Ningxia for decades, how can it be so easily replaced? If Wu Xiaohe really has no successor, it’s okay to say, but now that someone in the Wu family inherits the incense, even if he goes to Ningxia again How can it be?"
Although Ren Yaoqi felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Zeng Lu's name from Xiao Jingxi's mouth, Xiao Jingxi's later words caught her attention, and she was surprised: "Wu Xiao and his successors? Could it be Wu Yiyu that you are talking about? ?"
Xiao Jingxi gave Ren Yaoqi a funny look: "Finally guessed wrong."
Ren Yaoqi was also influenced by the conversations of the scholars she heard before, so she came to such a conclusion. Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Jingxi might not support Xiao Wei's mother and daughter, she thought for a while: "Could that be the case? The woman sent by the Di family is already pregnant?"
Xiao Jingxi sighed and said, "I guessed it right again."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be surprised that she could still conceive under the eyes of Xiao Wei's mother and daughter, and at such a critical moment, this woman surnamed Di was really not an ordinary person.
only…
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning: "How do you know whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl?" If she gave birth to a girl, like Wu Yiyu, she would have no right of inheritance.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "This child will be born smoothly, and it must be a boy."
Seeing Xiao Jingxi's words being so sure, Ren Yaoqi understood after a little thought. At this time, Wu Xiaohe's children are not just as simple as inheriting the incense of the Wu family, because he must exist anyway. Whether it will be born smoothly, whether it is a boy or a girl is not a problem, because the result will only be that Di Shi gave birth to a boy. Ren Yaoqi even doubted whether the child was Wu Xiaohe's, and even whether the child existed, but as long as the Yanbei Palace acknowledged the existence of the child and fully supported it, then the truth was irrelevant.
As for whether the court will admit it, what happened to Guan Yanbei? Isn't there a saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi's shadow about Zeng Lu's coming to Yanbei lightened a lot.
Without substantial control over Ningxia, even if Zeng Yu came, he was just a tiger with his teeth pulled out, and he couldn't find too many tricks.
"Speaking of which, I really want to thank you." Xiao Jingxi said, "If you hadn't asked me to come back earlier, things in Ningxia wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Ren Yaoqi said, "I just said it casually."
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and said softly and slowly, "If you say it casually, I will take it seriously."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help blushing, why did she think Xiao Jingxi's words were a little weird? Did she think too much
But looking up at Xiao Jingxi, he found that although he was looking at her, his expression was calm and calm, but his ears were a little red.
Ren Yaoqi rolled his eyes and said, "It's getting late, go back."
Xiao Jingxi looked at her for a while, then nodded: "Okay."
Ren Yaoqi stroked his cloak, turned around to get on the carriage, but heard Xiao Jingxi's slightly hesitant voice different from the past: "If you hear any rumors about me in Kyoto, don't take it seriously. "
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, he thought of that Miss Yan almost immediately.
She paused, turned her head to look at Xiao Jingxi and asked in surprise, "The rumor about you? What rumor?"
Xiao Jingxi was silent for a moment: "It's just some rumors chasing the wind."
Ren Yaoqi was teasing, and returned Xiao Jingxi with an innocent smile: "There is no wind and no waves. The rumors are also well-founded, and I will choose to believe them."
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
After Ren Yaoqi finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Xiao Jingxi sighed and smiled bitterly: "There are rumors in the capital that the Yan family intends to marry the Yanbei palace, and the Queen Mother Yan intends to marry the eldest daughter of the Yan family's house to me."
Ren Yaoqi stopped and didn't answer.
Xiao Jingxi couldn't see her expression, and didn't know what she was thinking, so she could only continue: "The Yan family married the Yanbei palace, but it was only the wishful thinking of the Queen Mother Yan."
"Are you sure it's just the queen mother's wishful thinking?" Ren Yaoqi suddenly said, "Mr. Xiao, have you met Miss Yan?"
Xiao Jingxi frowned, then nodded and said frankly, "I met him once or twice."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and said nothing more. It seems that Miss Yan is interested in Xiao Jingxi.
Ren Yaoqi asked such a question just to find out about this matter, and had no other meaning. He didn't want Xiao Jingxi, but he mistakenly thought that Ren Yaoqi thought he was dishonest, so he was angry, and Xiao Jingxi was in a hurry. Without thinking, he reached out and held Ren Yaoqi's hand.
At this moment, the minds of both of them were blank.
Xiao Jingxi took a while to realize that he had done another thing that the disciple did. He was a little annoyed, afraid that Ren Yaoqi would feel disgusted by his offense, but he didn't know why his hand couldn't be let go. He could only lower his head and stare blankly at the palms that the two held together.
Ren Yaoqi felt the warm temperature in his palm, and for a while, he could no longer hear any sound except his own heartbeat. This time it was different from the last two times when the two of them held hands together, and she didn't know what the difference was, she only knew that it was different.
Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi came back to her senses first. She bit her lip and tilted her head in annoyance and said softly, "Don't let go."
Ren Yaoqi came out of Baoping Hutong in the evening. It was getting dark now. The two were standing in a sheltered place to talk. The two maids avoided the intersection with wink. No one saw this scene.
Xiao Jingxi flickered because Ren Yaoqi had a shy and coquettish tone, his hand clearly wanted to let go, but he didn't know why he held it tighter.
Then he came back to his senses and let go of his hand quickly, and whispered softly with a burning face: "I'm sorry, I'm not..."
Ren Yaoqi glared at him, turned and ran away, until he got into the carriage, Ren Yaoqi could still feel his frantic heartbeat and the temperature of another person remaining in his palm.
Until Ren Yaoqi's carriage disappeared at the end of the road, Xiao Jingxi still stood there and did not move. Second Young Master Xiao's face was filled with annoyance, regret, trance, and a hint of shyness that was not easily detectable, but he did not have the immortal calm and calm that he hung on his face from time to time. In short, it was difficult to describe Second Young Master Xiao in words at this moment. real mood.
That night, Ren Yaoqi tossed and turned on the bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. For some reason, as soon as she closed her eyes, she could recall the scene when Xiao Jingxi held her hand tightly. At that moment, only Ren Yao throbbed. I hope to understand myself mentally. She didn't feel any emotions like disgust or anger from beginning to end.
Ren Yaoqi stayed up almost all night. She recalled everything in her mind since she and Xiao Jingxi met. She thought she had forgotten or couldn't remember some details, but she remembered clearly when she didn't want to. Chu.
"I won't be..." Ren Yaoqi murmured softly at the moment when the last day was almost dawn, before falling asleep, but the last few words did not make a sound.
On the second day, when Ren Yaoqi appeared in front of Ren Yaohua in a bad mood, Ren Yaohua was taken aback by her and asked suspiciously, "You didn't catch a cold and fell ill last night, did you?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and forced a smile: "I didn't sleep well last night."
"Why can't I sleep well?" Ren Yaohua didn't remember that Ren Yaoqi had a problem with recognizing the bed, not to mention that Ren Yaoqi had lived in this other house several times, and she was used to using the bedding herself.
How could Ren Yaoqi tell Ren Yaohua that she was thinking about herself and Xiao Jingxi all night and didn't sleep well
Fortunately, Ren Yaohua didn't break the casserole's temper to ask the question to the end, and she stopped asking after Ren Yaoqi perfunctory a few words.
Ren Shimin's lecture in Yunyang City had come to an end, and he was going back to Baihe Town today, so Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi naturally followed him back.
On the way, Mr. Ren San was in a good mood, so he talked to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua about coming to Yunyang City in the spring of next year.
Ren Yaoqi asked, "Dad, where will we live then? If you go to the academy, it would be inconvenient if you still live in Ren's courtyard, right?"
Ren Shimin thought for a while: "I saw that except for a few teachers in the academy who lived in the academy, the rest rented a yard near Baoping Hutong."
