Many people are still sighing for the fate of the Princess of Jiayi, thinking that when Concubine Wan was still alive, the Princess of Jiayi, as the most beloved granddaughter of the imperial concubine, could be said to be loved by 3,000 people, but she had a rough fate in the end.
But some people in Yanzhou don't think so.
It is rumored that although the county master of Jiayi is only married to the son of a merchant, he is deeply in love with his husband and wife and is harmonious. Although the husband of the county master of Jiayi was not very well-born, he was a well-known talent in Yanbei, with outstanding talent and appearance. The Princess of Jiayi has now separated from her own family with her husband and established a new door. Strictly speaking, the daughter of the Princess of Jiayi is no longer the daughter of a businessman.
All in all, because of the request of the second son of the Xiao family, the world turned their attention to the family of the Jiayi County Lord, who had been unknown for more than ten years, but the parties did not realize it, because the officers and soldiers guarding the Ren family had not yet been withdrawn, and they were just properly isolated. The prying eyes of the world.
Therefore, when the matchmaker from the Yanbei Palace came to the door, Ren Shimin and Mrs. Li still couldn't react. The person who was entrusted by the Yanbei Palace to do the matchmaking was still a big man, Xu Wanli, the head of Yunyang Academy. What's even more unexpected is that although the people who came to propose marriage and those who came to protect the media were big people, the Ren family agreed without a single breath. Xu Wanli and Ren Shimin talked for a long time in the study, and finally Ren Shimin sent Xu Shanchang out respectfully.
Ren Shimin's attitude makes many people puzzled. It stands to reason that although Xiao Jingxi is not in good health, he is now not only the second son of the Yanbei Palace, but as the next heir of the Yanbei Palace, Miss Ren is a high-ranking man. Yes, and the marriage between the Ren family and the Yanbei Wangfu is actually equivalent to the marriage between the Yanbei Wangfu and the Xian Wangfu, which is of great significance.
However, many people applauded Ren Shimin secretly. Look, this is the integrity of a real scholar, the demeanor of a celebrity. Whether it is the Yanbei Palace or the Xian Palace, no one's face will be sold. Because of Ren Shimin's attitude, the world's evaluation of him is much higher. It is no wonder that since the allusions of "Three Gus That Cottage", scholars have dreamed that they and their superiors will have a drama that you invite me to refuse, and their worth is all pretended to be x.
However, the world really misunderstood Ren Shimin. It was not because of the loftiness of scholars that Mr. Ren did not agree to the marriage proposal of the Yanbei Palace.
After he sent Xu Wanli away, he went to the main room to discuss with the Li family, with a tangled face: "I heard that this second son of Xiao is not in good health."
Li Shi also looked embarrassed: "Then this marriage... let's push it."
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, the reason why Ren Shimin and his wife did not agree to the marriage at the Yanbei Palace was not that complicated at all.
At this time, Mrs. Li received a letter from her mother, Mrs. Rong. Mrs. Li thought it must be for the marriage proposal of the Yanbei Palace, which was actually the case. However, in the letter, Mr. Rong did not express any objection or approval of the marriage, but let Mrs. Li and Ren Shimin decide for themselves, and reminded her to ask Ren Yaoqi what she meant. Li thought for a while, and told Ren Shimin about Rong's trust.
Ren Shimin also thought about it, and let Ren Yaoqi be called.
Ren Yaoqi already knew that Yanbei Wangfu came to propose marriage before he was called by Ren Shimin and Li Shi. After all, what happened in the Ren family was rarely able to hide from her.
Ren Yaoqi's mood was also a little complicated, especially when her parents mentioned the marriage at the Yanbei Palace, with a worried and reluctant expression.
In fact, it stands to reason that this kind of thing is not up to Ren Yaoqi to call the shots, but Ren Shimin has a free and easy temperament and is not too strict with etiquette. Li is used to listening to his daughter, and Rong's letter also asks them to ask Ren Yaoqi. own opinion.
Ren Shimin said to Ren Yaoqi, "Although I haven't seen Second Young Master Xiao several times, I heard that he is rare in both talent and beauty, but it's a pity..." If it wasn't for Xiao Jingxi's physical weakness, Ren Shimin might have Answered, his son-in-law has always had only one requirement, that is, outstanding literary talent. However, when facing the marriage of the most beloved young daughter, Ren Shimin had to be tacky and cautious.
Li Shi also said: "My father and I mean, this marriage is still pushed."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Just when Ren Yaoqi was thinking about how to answer, Xi'er reported from the outside: "Master, Madam, the carriage of the Yanbei Palace has arrived at the door."
It is said that Xu Wanli went to the Yanbei Prince's Mansion after leaving the Ren's house, and explained to the Yanbei Prince and Xiao Jingxi that he went to the Ren's house today.
I heard that Master Ren did not respond, and King Yanbei was a little surprised, but Xiao Jingxi looked calm.
After Xu Wanli went out, King Yanbei glanced at his son and coughed lightly, "Or..."
Xiao Jingxi came back to his senses and looked at King Yanbei.
King Yanbei paused for a while, then got up and patted Xiao Jingxi on the shoulder. This comforting action has been used by soldiers all the year round. The sturdy King of Yanbei did it very well. Ordinary people said that he would be punished. He got down on the fan.
"Don't worry about it, why is a man without a wife!" King Yanbei, who was not very good at words, patted his son on the shoulder and explained dryly.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at his father helplessly, and consciously put down King Yanbei's hand.
"How about I let Sheng Shihong come to the door to mention it again?" King Yanbei came up with an idea.
Xiao Jingxi shook his head and was about to speak when King Yanbei said again: "That girl really doesn't like you, it's okay, this king ordered to marry, let's see who dares not to marry!" King Yanbei, who spoke harshly, was majestic, Domineering exposed.
Xiao Jingxi pressed his eyebrows and said helplessly, "Father..."
"son?"
"The son has his own concerns about this matter, and the father does not need to worry about it." Xiao Jingxi said sincerely.
The King of Yanbei was still a little unfinished: "How can I do that? You are my son, and you will be the heir of the Yanbei Palace. Your marriage is a big deal! Our Yanbei Palace has always used fists to fight the world. You are actually..."
"Father, not necessarily now." Xiao Jingxi interrupted King Yanbei's words with a gentle smile.
"What's not necessarily?" King Yanbei stopped talking, a little puzzled.
Xiao Jingxi explained patiently, "I may not be the heir of the Yanbei Palace."
King Yanbei was stunned for a while, and the expression on his face became serious. King Yanbei, who no longer made jokes, had some chills on his face. This is the real King Yanbei who traverses the northern frontier, not one who takes The father of the son's marriage: "Could it be that there is something wrong over there in the capital?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled: "Zhao Shi is pregnant."
King Yanbei raised his eyebrows: "When did it happen? Why did you only say it now?"
"After the eldest brother's accident, the Zhao family was taken into the palace. I said before that I was afraid that the fetus would be unstable, so I didn't speak up and kept the child in the queen mother's palace."
King Yanbei was silent for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Jingxi: "So we want to set up a milk baby to be the prince?"
Xiao Jingxi didn't care: "Even if we don't stand up, how can the imperial court give up?"
The King of Yanbei touched his chin: "What if it's a granddaughter? You will also be the prince?"
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help laughing and reminded King Yanbei: "Did you allow Wu Xiaohe's posthumous son to be a daughter?"
King Yanbei was silent for a moment, then opened his lips and spit out a word gracefully: "Fuck!"
Xiao Jingxi turned a blind eye to his father's rudeness: "So, father, you have a more important thing to do next to establish a heir, and you don't need to worry about your son's marriage."
King Yanbei sighed and patted Xiao Jingxi on the shoulder again: "Son, it's useless to be a father, I've wronged you. Your brother is gone, and it's not your turn to be the prince, and you will be the prince in the future. His uncle, thinking about the fate of the high-ranking uncles of the emperors of all dynasties, I feel very sad for you because of my father!"
Xiao Jing smiled: "Thank you father for remembering, so my son hopes that you will live longer, so that your son will not be in danger at the hands of his nephew in the future."
The King of Yanbei laughed boldly: "It's easy to talk! It's a big deal, and Dad will leave you a suicide note or something, and let you be a regent and uncle, and come to hold the emperor to make the princes."
After the father and son were joking around, Xiao Jingxi left the study and went to Jiuyang Palace to find the princess.
On the second day, the princess' frame went to Baoping Hutong in person.
Ren Yaoqi, who was talking to his parents in the main room, was stunned after hearing Xi'er's report. He was thinking about who was coming to the palace when he heard the news that the princess was coming.
Both Li Shi and Ren Shimin were shocked when they heard the words, and hurriedly went out to greet them.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and immediately pulled Li Shi and Ren Shimin to explain in a low voice, "I may not be able to be there later. If the princess mentions... about marriage, the father and mother should come down."
Ren Yaoqi knew that Ren Shimin and Mrs. Li refused to mention Yanbei's mansion because of her consideration, but outsiders would not understand it, and it would be bad if they were said to be ignorant. The princess came to the door in person, and this marriage should not be accepted, not to mention that Ren Yaoqi had a tacit understanding with Xiao Jingxi.
Li Shi and Ren Shimin were still a little hesitant, and Ren Yaoqi could only say: "Father, mother, daughter does not object to this marriage."
The princess' car had already arrived at the door, so it was difficult to delay any longer. After Ren Yaoqi said this, he helped Li Shi and went out behind Ren Shimin.
The princess' visit this time was not very ostentatious. There were only a few carriages and a few horse-riding escorts behind her. She did not wait for Ren's family to go to the gate to greet her, but waited at the second gate. The closeness can be seen from these small details, and even Mrs. Li has noticed the concubine's friendly and accommodating attitude.
Ren Shimin brought his wife and daughter to the second gate to greet the princess. The princess supported Mrs. Li who was about to salute, and nodded to Ren Shimin, only to be greeted by Ren Yaoqi.
"The princess doesn't need to be too polite, I just came to see you and Yao Qi today." The princess said with a smile.
