Regardless of whether Xiao Qiao was willing to leave the Lei family or not, under Ren Yaohua's order, the people below did things very quickly. Before noon, Liu Gui's family went to the main courtyard to report that Xiao Qiao's things had been packed. When Xiao Qiao came here, she had nothing, so there was nothing to clean up except to pack and take away all the things in her house.
Ren Yaohua just nodded and replied lightly: "Let's go when you're ready, I won't go out."
Ren Yaohua was practicing calligraphy with Lei Paner in the study at the time. When Liu Gui's family and Ren Yaohua reported the report, Lei Pan'er had been sneaking his head here from behind the bookcase not far away, but until Ren Yaohua finished replying to Liu Gui's family, Lei Pan's Neither interrupted.
After Ren Yaohua waited for Liu Gui's family to go out, he turned around and went back to the desk, and looked down at Lei Pan'er's words carefully: "Well, there is progress, take a break and write some snacks before writing."
Lei Pan'er received the praise and immediately raised a smile at her, put down the pen, and obediently asked the little maid who was waiting beside her to clean her hands with water.
Ren Yaohua led her to sit at the table, picked a piece of honey cake from several plates of snacks on the table and put it on the plate in front of her.
"Thank you, mother." Lei Pan'er picked up the small spoon and dig out the pastry to eat.
Although Lei Paner was very well behaved, Ren Yaohua found that she was quieter than usual today. She likes to chat non-stop, even when she's using snacks. Ren Yaohua didn't break it either, just watched her use dim sum from the side.
Lei Pan'er put down the small spoon in his hand after taking a few bites. Sitting there and looking down at the fingers.
"Don't eat? Are you going to play in the garden?" Ren Yaohua wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at her and asked.
Lei Pan'er shook his head and looked at Ren Yaohua before he could say anything.
Ren Yaohua looked at her, neither asking nor urging.
Lei Pan'er finally couldn't help but ask, "Mother, is my aunt leaving?"
"No, I'm going to live in Zhuangzi. Pan'er is reluctant to let her aunt leave the house?"
Lei Pan'er thought about it for a while and asked with a serious face: "Is Zhuangzi's food good? Is there anyone to take care of him? Is there anyone to take care of him if he is sick?"
Ren Yaohua nodded: "Yeah. The old maids who served my aunt before will serve them in the past. The cost of food and clothing is the same as when they were in the mansion. If they are sick, they will be in charge and come to the doctor again. If Pan'er is worried..." Ren Yaohua pondered for a moment, "Why don't you send your own maid to see your aunt, and let the maid follow you, so that I can report to you when you come back?" Two of Lei Pan'er's personal maids have been serving her for several years, and Ren Yaohua is here. No substitutions were made after that.
After Lei Pan'er heard it, she thought about it again. Then nodded: "Okay, take a look at the nurse by the way."
Lei Paner has a good memory, and still remembers that his wet nurse was also sent to Zhuangzi.
"Is Pan'er going to see my aunt?" Ren Yaohua thoughtfully asked.
Lei Pan'er shook her head: "I heard that my aunt had a bad life before she came to our house, as long as she knows that she can live well in the future."
Lei Paner is precocious, and many things do not need others to be heard, she also understands that it is rare that she is still reasonable. Will not be unreasonable.
Ren Yaohua touched her head. Called her maid and ordered a few words, and then let her go.
Next, Lei Pan'er seemed to have put the matter of Xiao Qiao's business aside, and did not mention her again.
When Xiao Qiao saw Lei Pan'er's personal maid, Hua Die'er, her face immediately paled when she learned that Lei Pan'er didn't plan to come to say goodbye to her. He didn't even remember to break free even when he was helped on the carriage.
The departure of Xiao Qiao's seems to be a trivial matter for the Lei family. But a big event happened the day after Xiao Qiao left.
After leaving Yanbei, the ordinary King Xian finally appeared in front of the world again, and King Xian appeared in Hezhong Mansion. And on the day of his appearance, he checked into the mansion of the King of Hezhong.
On the second day, King Xian announced to the world an edict of the late emperor.
The completion of this edict was after the original imperial edict of abolishing the king. The first emperor stated in his edict that he pardoned the sins of King Xian's family, and named King Xian as King of Hezhong, and Hezhong House as King Xian's fief. And after King Xian officially accepted the title of King of Hezhong, within five years, King Xian and his descendants were not allowed to leave Hezhong.
As soon as this edict was announced, the entire Zhou Dynasty was shocked.
Of course, some people will doubt the authenticity of the edict in the hands of King Xian. If the edict is true, why didn't King Xian take it out earlier
After King Xian announced his will, he rubbed a copy and posted it on the notice board next to the city gate in Hezhong. It didn't take long for many people to get the rubbing plate of this edict. It has been verified by countless people that the handwriting of this edict is from the hand of the late scholar Pei Xun, and the seal of "Fengtian Zhibao" on the edict is undoubtedly the emperor's seal.
Although Pei Xun has passed away, he left behind a lot of calligraphy, and it is not difficult to identify the handwriting. The Pei family is the head of the scholars today. The children of the Pei family are officials in the dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty came from the head of the six ministries with the surname Pei. There are several ministers in the cabinet. , and no one replied that Pei Xun would collude with Concubine Wan and King Xian to cheat.
So when this edict was published, the people in the world who suspected that the edict was fake fell silent.
As for the last edict, the most interesting thing is the decree that "within five years, King Xian and his descendants are not allowed to leave the river."
The vassal kings of all dynasties have always been forbidden to leave the fiefdom without permission, and even more forbidden to enter the capital without permission, but as long as the emperor gave an order to be summoned, the princes would go to the capital to show the emperor no matter how far away they were. This edict of the late emperor is quite good. Within five years, the direct descendants of Xian Wang’s mansion are not allowed to leave Hezhong. That is, even if the emperor has issued a decree to declare the king or the heir of the king to enter the capital, they can ignore it and just let the emperor go. shit. No matter how old the emperor is, he is no bigger than the emperor's biological father. Of course, this biological father must be dead, and the living person may not have this face.
Empress Dowager Yan and the Yan family were so angry and aggrieved when they learned about it, Mrs. Li from Yanbei was so happy that she cried again after knowing it, and Ren Yaoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Five years can be said to be long or short, but it is the most suitable time for the development of Xianwangfu. With the foundation left by Xian Wangfu, as long as they pass these five years smoothly, it will not be so easy for the court to start offering the Wangfu in the future. I have to say that Concubine Wan's methods are really not comparable to ordinary people.
However, Ren Yaoqi was still surprised that the widow was related to the Pei family. When he was with Mr. Pei, although Mr. Pei once mentioned Concubine Wan, he only said a few words, but it was out of a man's appreciation and regret for the peerless beauty.
Ren Yaoqi had never heard of any involvement between the Pei family and Concubine Wan Gui's Xianwang, and Pei Zhiyan had never mentioned Xianwang in front of Ren Yaoqi. Of course, if the two sides are involved, the credibility of this edict will be much lower.
It's just that Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but worry about Pei Zhiyan's current situation. Although with the foundation of the Pei family, it is still difficult for the imperial court to move the Pei family in a short period of time, and it also needs to take into account the public, but it is still easy to wear some small shoes for the Pei family. Among the Pei family members who are now officials in the imperial court, the highest official is Pei Zhiyan's uncle, Pei Ji, who is the second-ranking official of the Ministry of Rites and ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and the third in the cabinet. Pei Zhiyan is now a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. His official position is only the fifth grade, but he is an imperial teacher. He will succeed Pei Ji in the future. Rather than starting Pei Ji, the imperial court would be more willing to move Pei Zhiyan.
Even if Ren Yaoqi was worried about the affairs of the imperial court, it was of no avail.
Although there are more people who believe in the last edict of the late emperor than those who doubt it, the majority of people take a wait-and-see attitude. After all, no one knows the true strength of the Xianwang Mansion. No one is a fool, and would be willing to upset the court for a freshly-baked vassal king with unstable foundations and uncertain future.
In this case, Yanbei Wangfu first extended an olive branch to Hezhong King. Although he only sent some gifts to Hezhong, it represented Yanbei's willingness to recognize the Hezhong King.
The Yanbei Palace moved, and due to various interests, other forces also moved. With the rise of Xian Wangfu, the political structure of the entire Zhou Dynasty will change. Many people have already smelled the unusual political trend between Xian Wangfu and Yanbei Wangfu.
Under this atmosphere, Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Yanbei Palace, proposed marriage to Ren Yaoqi, the fifth miss of the Ren family.
As soon as the news came out, people outside of Yanzhou might not be able to react. How sacred is this fifth Miss Ren family. However, the world soon knew that Ren Yaoqi, the fifth miss of the Ren family, was the granddaughter of the former King Xian and now King Hezhong, and the second daughter of the Princess Jiayi, the daughter of King Xian.
At the beginning, King Xian was demoted to a commoner and sent to Yanbei, and the titles from King Xian to Shizi County Lord were all taken away, and the County Lord of Jiayi was forced to marry a businesswoman due to the situation. Now the emperor's last edict has pardoned King Xian, the titles of King Xian's mansion have been returned, and the title of County Master of Jiayi has returned.
Some people may think that the identity of the businessman's daughter is not worthy of the second son of the Yanbei palace. After all, although Xiao Jingxi's health is not good, after Xiao Jingkang's death, he is most likely to succeed the throne of Yanbei prince. Almost, the words of marrying a granddaughter are still separated by a layer.
However, the King of Hezhong had only one direct son and one direct daughter. The prince of Hezhong had not been married for less than a year, and he had no children and no daughters. Only the youngest daughter of the direct daughter was suitable for marriage under the King of Hezhong. Fortunately, the title of County Master of Jiayi has come back. No matter what, Li's family is still the golden branches and jade leaves of the red roots, and the blood of the royal family.
