King Yanbei also returned to the palace at this time.
King Yanbei must have returned to Yunyang City at this time to personally preside over Xiao Jinglin's wedding ceremony.
Although the selection of the guests also needs to follow a certain process, generally speaking, the guests are selected in advance.
Regarding County Master Xiao and the candidate for the guest of honor at the wedding ceremony, everyone guessed that it was either Mrs. Xu Shanchang from Yunyang Academy or the old lady of the Yun family. Of the two, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Ouyang, was more likely.
A few days ago, Xiao Jinglin sent a letter to Ren Yaoqi saying that she wanted to invite her to be her admirer and the concubine at the wedding ceremony. The princess didn't say anything, she asked Ren Yaoqi to prepare in advance.
Ren Yaoqi felt that it was somewhat inconsistent with her identity to be a praiser at the ceremony of the Yanbei County Lord.
However, two days before the wedding ceremony, there were rumors outside that the princess and the guest at the ceremony had appointed Mrs. Xu Ouyang, and the praiser was Yun Qiuchen, the eldest lady of the Yun family. name. Ren Yaoqi knew that Xiao Jinglin's wedding ceremony was not an ordinary lady's wedding ceremony, and there was a lot of attention to it, so after hearing the news, he felt normal.
However, Xiao Jinglin did not send any more news, which made Ren Yaoqi feel a little strange.
However, the invitation from the Yanbei Palace was sent over. To Ren Yaoqi's surprise, besides her, there were also her mother Li Shi and her sister Ren Yaohua. After receiving this invitation, Ren Yaoqi Qi couldn't help but be very grateful to Princess Yanbei. At this time, the palace of Yanbei was willing to help Li's family on the bright side, and Li's communication in Yunyang City would be easier in the future.
The day before the wedding ceremony was the guest of honor, that is to say, the guest who was chosen by divination was invited. In general, the "guest guest" should be invited by the host himself. However, due to the special status of King Yanbei and Princess Yanbei, the etiquette officer of the palace should be dispatched to carry out this ceremony.
But on the day of "Subin", Princess Yanbei went out in the palace carriage.
Everyone thought that Princess Yanbei and Mrs. Xu Ouyang were still in a master-disciple relationship, so they went to invite them in person to show respect for the teacher. After Princess Yanbei's carriage passed through Zhengyang Street, it really went to Baoping Hutong.
But in the end, what surprised everyone was that Wang Fei's carriage did not pass through Baoping Hutong to Yunyang Academy. Her carriage stopped in front of an ordinary house in Baoping Hutong. Then there was the attendant who came to knock on the door of that house.
With a "squeak", the door of the house opened, and the slightly older concierge glanced outside. When he saw so many frames parked at the door, he was not frightened. Instead, he asked who was coming. , and immediately returned to the inner house to report to the master.
After a while, the door of this private house was opened from the inside, and a woman in her twenties walked out in a hurry, bowed to Princess Yanbei's sedan chair, and said respectfully: "I have a guest, the owner of the house. I'm waiting for your honorable driver at the second gate."
Madam Xin, who was beside the princess, came out and gave a few orders, and the princess' carriage slowly drove into the not spacious Jinzhu gate, because the alley was a bit narrow, even if both gates were open, the carriage behind would follow. It was inconvenient to go in together, so the servant servants brought by the princess got off the carriage at the door, followed the princess' car and entered the mansion on foot.
After everyone went in, in order not to block the alley and to wait for the princess' carriage to come out later, the carriages parked at the door were driven into the yard one after another through the back door. Although the facade of this house is not big, it is very spacious inside, and it is no problem to park a dozen carriages in the backyard.
And what the princess talked about with the main house in this house, outsiders have no way to find out, but who is the owner of this house is not known in the whole Yunyang City, because this is the place where Wang Xian, Li Gan, was abolished. Residential.
It has been more than ten years since Wang Xian Wang came to Yanbei, but he and Yanbei Wangfu have always been well water and not river water. The people in Xianwang's mansion have never been to Yanbei's mansion, and the person in power in Yanbei's mansion has never stepped into the courtyard of Wangxian's mansion. This time, it was Princess Yanbei who came to visit in an open and fair manner. The meaning of this can not help outsiders think too much.
Princess Yanbei didn't stop much at the Wang Xian's mansion, and only stayed for about a quarter of an hour before coming out again in a carriage.
The frames she brought also drove out from the back door one after another, and followed the princess away slowly.
At this time, Princess Yanbei's first visit to Xianwang's mansion aroused speculations from many people, and there were different opinions about various speculations. Anyway, everyone felt that every move of these high-ranking people implied profound meaning, and the visit of the princess was definitely not simple.
Ren Yaoqi naturally learned the news very quickly, and she was a little surprised, but she guessed that it might have something to do with Xiao Jinglin's wedding banquet. But she knew that at this time, there must be a lot of eyes staring at the every move of her grandfather's family, so she didn't send someone to find Li's reason, anyway, she will know soon.
On the second day, the day of Xiao Jinglin and the banquet, everyone finally knew what Princess Yanbei went to Baoping Hutong, and Princess Xian was invited to be the master of Xiao County and the official guest at the banquet.
This result seems to be expected. That's right, apart from this matter, what else does the princess need to blatantly visit
However, the fact that Mr. Rong is the official guest seems to be unexpected by everyone. It stands to reason that the candidate of Mr. Rong needs to have both good fortune and good luck in addition to high morality and respect. The above is a guest living in Yanbei who is waiting for a crime. Is it really appropriate to invite her to be the official guest
Faced with the suspicions of everyone, the princess explained lightly: This is God's will, and it is the candidate calculated by the imperial official of the palace, and even the palace should obey the destiny.
Regarding what the princess said, everyone happily expressed understanding on the surface, but not many people believed it in private. Everyone thought of the recent marriage between the Zeng family and the Wu family in Ningxia, and secretly guessed whether the Yanbei Palace would also continue to promote the abolished King Xian to respond to the southern court
However, everyone felt that it was unlikely that King Xian could really turn over. Even if the Yanbei Prince's Mansion wanted to promote the Xian Wang Mansion to fight against the imperial court, the Xian Wang family was nothing more than a few chess pieces that came and went when they were called.
Although the old man of the Ren family was very surprised when he heard the news, but after thinking about it, he decided to take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being. He also didn't believe that the Xianwang Mansion could turn over in one go, otherwise what would he do for so many years?
However, to be cautious, he still sent his eldest son Ren Shizhong to Yunyang City to ask Ren Shimin about the situation. It's a pity that Ren Shimin didn't know when he asked three questions, and he asked in vain. Ren Shizhong could only return without success.
And Ren Yaoqi was not so surprised when she saw her grandmother Rong Shi in the Yanbei Palace. She thought that maybe because Rong Shi wanted to be the official guest, she did not make her a fan of Xiao Jinglin, otherwise it would be too eye-catching. .
However, Ren Yaoqi thought again that since Xiao Jinglin would send her a letter to prepare her at that time, it means that she did not encounter too many objections for her as a liker, at least the princess did not refuse it. Then the change of candidates was three days ago when the "Xiaobin" was held, and that day happened to be the day when King Yanbei returned to his residence. I don't know what the connection will be.
When Mrs. Rong saw Li's mother and daughter, she smiled and nodded to them. At that time, she was sitting and talking with Princess Yanbei, and she waved to Mrs. Li to let Mrs. Li greet the princess.
The princess held Li Shi's hand and asked her to sit down and talk together, and smiled at Ren Yaoqi very familiarly: "Your mother and sister stay here and talk to me, you can go and see Jinglin. No, it will start in half an hour, and if she is ready, we will go to Chengde Hall."
Chengde Hall is quite similar to the ancestral hall of the Xiao family in Yanbei Palace. It is usually not open on weekdays. It is only open during the New Year's Festival to worship ancestors or hold ceremonies. Xiao Jinglin's wedding ceremony will be held in the east room of the main hall of Chengde Hall.
Ren Yaoqi responded, then turned around and left.
She has come and gone in Yanbei many times, and she is already very familiar with Yanbei's palace. She can find Xiao Jinglin herself without anyone leading the way.
Xiao Jinglin was almost ready, and seemed to be waiting for Ren Yaoqi to find her. When she saw her, she sent away all the people in the room who had served her before bathing and dressing, leaving only Hongying to serve her.
Xiao Jinglin said, "I'm sorry, but my mother had already agreed to let you be my admirer, so I thought..."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and took her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's fine now."
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi had no resentment, Xiao Jinglin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect your grandmother to be the guest of honor, but you're right, the result is not bad. "
Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time.
Since King Yanbei invited Mrs. Rong to be the official guest, it was a statement to the private covenant between Xiao Jingxi and King Xian's mansion. In this way, they don't have to worry about them becoming a hostile relationship, at least for a short time.
The two talked for a while, and when the time was almost up, the princess sent someone to invite them, and they went to Chengde Hall.
It was the first time for Ren Yaoqi to visit Chengde Hall. All the buildings of Yanbei Palace are solemn and majestic. As an ancestral hall, Chengde Hall is more solemn than other halls.
The prince and princess, the Rong family, and the people who were invited to watch the ceremony have arrived in the east hall.
The distributed Xiao Jinglin was led to the prince and the princess, while Ren Yaoqi returned to Li Shi and Ren Yaohua.
