As soon as the news came out, Yan Bei was in an uproar.
Not long ago, there was news that Xiao Shizi was going back to Yanbei to congratulate the concubine. How long has it been since then? Xiao Shizi was seriously injured. Xiao Jingkang has lived in Kyoto as a proton for more than ten years. There is no accident sooner or later, but at this juncture, no one knows that there must be something tricky.
When Ren Yaoqi heard the news, he was a guest at Mrs. Xu's Ouyang's house. Mrs. Xu was invited to participate in the compilation of the musical score and Yanbei folk songs in "Yanshanhe Tuzhi". Work with her to sort out some of the remnants that have been collected.
When the two were discussing the repair of a broken score, Xu Shanchang came back in a hurry.
Ren Yaoqi has come to Xu's house quite a few times these days. This is the first time he has seen Xu Shanchang in broad daylight. He usually stays in the academy, so he can't help but be a little surprised.
And Xu Shanchang came back to find Mrs. Xu, and regardless of Ren Yaoqi's presence, he directly revealed that Xiao Shizi was assassinated and seriously injured. The news shocked both Mrs. Xu and Ren Yaoqi who were present.
"When did this happen? Where did the news come from?" Mrs. Xu asked quickly.
Xu Shanchang seems to be used to discussing everything with his wife on weekdays, and he said: "After the prince was assassinated, the people around him immediately sent the news back to Yanbei, I just happened to be in the palace to discuss matters with Mr. Shan. , heard it."
Mrs. Xu frowned: "How is the injury of the prince?"
Only then did Xu Wanli turn his head to look at Ren Yaoqi, paused, and then said, "Looking at the situation... I'm afraid it's not optimistic."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu was also silent, but there was obvious worry between her brows.
When Ren Yaoqi heard the news, his heart was turbulent. The last Prince Xiao died suddenly, and everyone tends to speculate that the cause of his death was the hand of the imperial court, but now there are still several years before the last Prince Xiao died, how could it be at this time
Ren Yaoqi knew in his heart that if Shizi Xiao really died at this time, the next contest between Yanbei and the various forces in the imperial court would start early. First of all, not to mention anything else, once Xiao Jingkang died, the throne of Yanbei Wangfu would cause a series of big shocks.
The King of Yanbei had only two direct sons, Xiao Jingkang and Xiao Jingxi. When Xiao Jingkang died, the throne of the prince fell to Xiao Jingxi. When Xiao Jingkang was there, Xiao Jingxi, the frail and sickly second son, could still keep a low profile. When Xiao Jingkang was gone, could Xiao Jingxi still do whatever he wanted? And Xiao Jingxi's marriage is still something he can say? At that time, whether it is the imperial court or the palace of Yanbei, they will be cautious about the position of Mrs.
Mrs. Xu sighed, turned her head and said to Ren Yaoqi, "Go here first today, and I'll have someone take you back first."
Ren Yaoqi was not in the mood to sort out the music now, so he nodded and left the Xu family.
The news of Xiao Jingkang's assassination was not known until two days later. The people in Yanbei hope that the second son of Xiao can recover. After all, the second son of Xiao is not in good health. If the young son of Xiao dies young, people worry about whether the second son of Xiao can survive. Although the Xiao family still has Xiao Heng's room, the popularity of Xiao Shizi and Xiao Jingxi is obviously higher than that of Xiao Jingyue, so everyone did not think about making Xiao Jingyue the prince of Yanbei for a while.
It is a pity that although the wishes of the Yanbei people were good, Xiao Shizi did not endure it in the end. Half a month after the news of Xiao Shizi's assassination came back to Yan Bei, the sad news of Xiao Shizi's death due to his injuries came, and Yan Bei was in grief.
Not as Ren Yaoqi expected, once Xiao Jingkang died, more people were eyeing Xiao Jingxi.
The Yun family is also calculating for this matter at this time.
Originally, the Yun family had planned to consider the marriage of Han Yunqian and Yun Qiuchen. Once the news of Xiao Jingkang's assassination was confirmed, the Yun family planned to change their strategy.
Yun Qiuchen is a candidate for the concubine who was cultivated by the Yun family with great effort. If the court had not insisted on marrying Xiao Jingkang, Yun Qiuchen would have married Xiao Jingkang. Now that Xiao Jingkang is dead, Xiao Jingxi will naturally take over as the heir, and since Xiao Jingxi has not married yet, the Yun family has begun to consider the matter of marrying Yun Qiuchen to Xiao Jingxi.
Mrs. Yun said: "Mother, the Yanbei Prince's Mansion has never let go of the marriage between Ting'er and the county master. The Yanbei Prince's Mansion may not have any intention of marrying a woman from the Yun family again, right?"
The old lady Yun sipped her tea and said softly, "It's now and then! The prince is dead, and the top priority of the Yanbei Palace is to settle the marriage of the second son of Xiao, otherwise, if the imperial court's decree for marriage is to come down first. , it's too late. Looking at the whole of Yanbei, is there a more suitable candidate than Qiuchen? Just wait and see, the princess will invite you to chat soon."
"Then the Han family..."
The old lady Ren shook her head: "I didn't make a formal decision with the Han family before, so it can't be said that our Yun family backtracked. And even if we want to get married, it is not necessarily Qiuchen, doesn't the Han family have an unmarried daughter? ?"
"Mother said that Ting'er should marry Miss Han?" Mrs. Yun frowned, "I have met that girl from the Han family a few times. Although she can be regarded as a gentle and well-informed girl, I always feel that Pei Tinger's words It's a little bit lacking, and some petty people are angry."
Han You is good in everything, but he is too shy and blushing easily when he speaks softly, but Yun Wenting is the eldest son and grandson, and will inherit the Yun family in the future, so Han You's personality is a little overwhelming. scene.
Mrs. Yun said, "Isn't there still a Fang'er if I can't do Ting'er? Miss Han's temperament is docile, and it's best to match Fang'er's thorn. But this matter is not in a hurry, if it is a marriage with the Yanbei Palace. If it’s true, the future direction of the Yun family will change and I’m not sure. Let’s worry about Chen’er’s affairs first, and look at the marriage of the Han family later!”
Mrs. Yun responded.
After Mrs. Yun came out of Mrs. Yun's yard, they called Yun Qiuchen over. Mrs. Yun never concealed something from her daughter. Yun Qiuchen was very smart and could help Mrs. Yun to make up her mind many times.
After Yun Qiuchen came, Mrs. Yun told her about Mrs. Ren's plan. After listening to Yun Qiuchen, she was not surprised at all. She was trained according to the standard of a princess since she was a child. To be honest, she could not be Yanbei. Princess, Yun Qiuchen is actually not used to it. So Yun Qiuchen didn't bother about her marriage with Han Yunqian.
Because of Xiao Jingkang's accident, Ren Yaoqi didn't go to Xiao Jinglin for a while. Xiao Jinglin just sent a letter to Ren Yaoqi, confirming that the serious injury of Xiao Shizi was true. After hearing the news of Xiao Jingkang's death, Ren Yaoqi couldn't even go to the Yanbei Palace to cause trouble.
On the second day after hearing the news of Xiao Jingkang's death, the Rong family sent someone to invite Ren Yaoqi to present the palace.
In fact, Mrs. Rong didn't find anyone to invite Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi also planned to go to Xianwang's mansion. She couldn't ask people in Yanbei's mansion for some things, but she could ask Mrs. Rong.
So Ren Yaoqi saw someone come to invite him, and he went to Xianwang's mansion without saying a word.
As soon as he entered the door, Ren Yaoqi felt the different atmosphere in Xianwang's mansion, but he couldn't tell the specifics. The sound of babbling and opera singing was still faintly heard in the mansion, but in the past, these silky and bamboo yin voices sounded very noisy, but today it sounds like the Xianwang mansion is very quiet and empty, and those voices feel a little far away.
Rong was drinking tea in the main room while waiting for Ren Yaoqi. When Ren Yaoqi entered, Rong raised his head and smiled at her, waved to her, and said flatly, "Come here? Come and sit. "
Ren Yaoqi sat in front of Mr. Rong according to his words.
Mr. Rong said straight to the point: "Did you know the news of Xiao Jingkang's death?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded and waited for Rong's next words.
But after taking a sip of tea, Mr. Rong did not continue the question, but said with a smile, "You did a good job on that last time." Mrs. Rong was referring to the collaboration between the Lin family and the Lei family.
Rong put down the tea bowl and touched Ren Yaoqi's head. Her hand was just holding the tea bowl, and her palm was very warm.
"You are better than I thought, and my grandmother is finally relieved."
After putting his hand down, Mr. Rong took an adult palm-sized red sandalwood carved box on the kang table and handed it to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi opened the box and saw a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants inside, which were somewhat similar to the pair that Rong gave to Ren Yaohua when Ren Yaohua got married.
There are still several silver notes under the jade pendant. Ren Yaoqi put away the jade pendant and took out the banknotes to take a look, and found a total of 5,000 taels.
"You and Yaohua's two pairs of jade pendants were given by the emperor back then. After all these years, I only have these two pairs of jade pendants left here, and there is nothing good for you. Keep it well, although it's more for you than Yaohua, but Yaohua shouldn't care."
After saying this, Mr. Rong was silent, and lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. Ren Yaoqi looked at her, but did not speak after all. Some things don't need to be asked, Ren Yaoqi already understands.
After a while, King Xian walked in from outside, and Ren Yaoqi immediately got up to salute and gave up his seat to King Xian.
King Xian nodded and sat down with Mr. Rong.
"I asked my mother to come. She may not have visited her grandfather and grandmother for a long time." Ren Yaoqi said.
King Xian glanced at Mr. Rong, but Mr. Rong shook his head: "I asked you to come today because I wanted to give you something. It's getting late, so you should go back earlier. I won't leave any meals today."
Ren Yaoqi looked at King Xian and the Rong family, was silent for a moment, and then knelt down: "Then the granddaughter kowtows on behalf of the mother to the two of them."
King Xian and Mrs Rong did not refuse, and seeing Ren Yaoqi finish kowtow, Mrs Rong pulled her up.
"Go and say hello to your uncle and aunt, and then go back."
"Yes, grandmother." Ren Yaoqi replied obediently, then turned around and went out.
