Ren Yaoqi's original intention of saying this was to appease Xiao Jingxi, but he didn't want Xiao Jingxi to have no joy on his face after listening to this sentence.
Yao Qi was wondering what happened to this young master today, but Xiao Jingxi looked at her with a dark expression: "I should have been happy if you weren't angry with me, but now I would rather you be angry. ."
Xiao Jingxi's voice was extremely low when he said this, almost murmuring to himself. If it wasn't for Ren Yaoqi standing very close to him, he might not have been able to hear clearly.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi like this, and suddenly realized that he was different from hers. Although Xiao Jingxi always gave people a feeling of omnipotence, his ability always made people ignore his age, but When she knew Xiao Jingxi, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and now he is only twenty.
Xiao Jingxi can devise strategies when faced with major events, and even be considered exhaustive, but when it comes to emotional issues, he may not be able to be more mature than ordinary men in their weakest years.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi with a gloomy expression in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Although I'm not mad at you, but... If I say I hate Yan Ningshuang, will you think I don't know the whole thing?" Ren Yaoqi said awkwardly. Ren Yaoqi had never said such a thing before. Now Speaking in front of Xiao Jingxi at this time, it was inevitable that she was a little jealous, so after saying this, her face was blushing and blood was dripping, but this feeling is actually quite novel, since the last life In this life, she has never experienced this awkward feeling with a little daughter's mood.
However, it was clear that her words pleased Xiao Jingxi. Just now, his face was gloomy, but now the corners of his lips curved into a happy arc.
"Is this true?" Xiao Jingxi lowered his head, looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked in a low voice.
The two of them were standing close to each other, Xiao Jingxi bowed his head like this, and the two of them were breathing. Ren Yaoqi subconsciously wanted to step back, but after thinking about it, she still bit her lip and stood there without moving, even though Xiao The breath of Jingxi's closeness made her legs tremble.
Ren Yaoqi looked up at Xiao Jingxi's bright eyes like the stars in the dark night, and nodded almost invisible.
The smile on Xiao Jingxi's face deepened, and the radiance in his eyes seemed to condense into a vortex, which could make people drown in his gentle and focused gaze.
He held Ren Yaoqi's hand, Ren Yaoqi's gently drooping eyelashes trembled, Xiao Jingxi saw that she did not break free, so he carefully hugged her again.
Ren Yaoqi was still not used to being so close to men, but this person was Xiao Jingxi, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but soften his heart. It was only now that she realized with hindsight that she could not see him show a little bit of grievance and sadness. No matter if Xiao Jingxi was really aggrieved and sad or pretended, she didn't like to see it.
Ren Yaoqi was a little stunned in Xiao Jingxi's arms.
She even thought to herself that maybe she understood what Xiao Jinglin meant by "beautiful tears, hero's tomb". She is not a hero and cannot pass the Beauty Pass.
"I like your ignorance, I like it very much." Xiao Jingxi whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear, the soft and hoarse voice was so good that people couldn't help blush and heartbeat, and the whole body was numb.
Xiao Jingxi hugged Ren Yaoqi quietly for a while, without any other movement, Ren Yaoqi also obediently did not move, but the atmosphere was so beautiful that it was nostalgic.
In the end, Ren Yaoqi moved and stood up straight from Xiao Jingxi's arms with a blushing face. This time Xiao Jingxi let go of her.
"Are you looking for me for something else?" Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi and asked softly.
Xiao Jingxi was in a good mood at the moment, took Ren Yaoqi to sit down in the middle of the room, and poured her a cup of tea: "I heard that you have already agreed to Zhu Ruomei's marriage?"
"Zhu Ruomei is yours, why does he need me to agree to his marriage? He asked to marry my maid, and I agreed." Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and said.
Xiao Jingxi laughed lightly, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Who said that his marriage doesn't need your approval? He is mine."
The meaning in Xiao Jingxi's words is already very straightforward, what does Ren Yaoqi not understand? But this is neither good nor bad.
Xiao Jingxi didn't want to embarrass Ren Yaoqi, although he loved her blushing and shy look, "I want to discuss with you whether his wedding date can be brought forward."
Ren Yaoqi then raised his head to look at him, a little surprised: "The wedding date is ahead of schedule? When will it be ahead of schedule?" Zhu Ruomei's wedding date was set by the Zhu family. She said that of course Ren Yaoqi was surprised.
Xiao Jingxi pondered: "The sooner the better, how about after the Duanyang Festival?"
Ren Yaoqi was even more surprised when he heard the words. Today is the second day of the first day, and the fifth day is the Duanyang Festival. That is to set Zhu Ruomei's marriage in a few days.
"Why are you rushing? But what happened?" If it wasn't for Zhu Ruomei's age, Ren Yaoqi thought it would be too early to get married at the end of June, for fear that they would not be able to prepare in just two or three months.
"I want Zhu Ruomei to travel far away. If his wedding date is not earlier, I'm afraid it will be delayed. I asked him what he meant, and he said he wanted to get married earlier." Xiao Jingxi said.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi, Xiao Jingxi asked Zhu Ruomei to go away, there must be something important to tell him to do, Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to ask clearly, after all, Sydney is her person, she is just Can't tell. But Ren Yaoqi was afraid that these things should not be asked by him, and if he asked, it would make Xiao Jingxi embarrassed.
Looking at Ren Yaoqi's expression, Xiao Jingxi naturally understood what she was thinking, smiled and said, "You know that the Queen Mother chose ten ladies to come to Yanbei this time, and there are three court officials? I came here for the Qianjin Banquet and the book "Illustration of Yanshan River", but it's not the case in essence."
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, he immediately thought of what he had asked Yuan Dayong to inquire about last time. Among the officials, only Pei Zhiyan really came for the "Yanshan River Map", and the other two officials were for the sake of reconciliation with the Liao people. The matter of opening border trade.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "I asked someone to inquire about it last time." Now, Yuan Dayong has always been able to know this, and he must have been inspired by Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi didn't have the idea that women in the inner house were not allowed to intervene in the affairs of the outer court. Xiao Jinglin is also a woman, which does not prevent Xiao Jingxi from admiring her in some ways. And Ren Yaoqi is about to become his wife, and she is also a woman he admires, so Xiao Jingxi doesn't mind Ren Yaoqi knowing these things.
"The new Liao King was only fifteen years old when he succeeded to the throne, so he will inevitably be young and vigorous. Since he took the throne, he has led troops to invade the south every year, but he could not enter Jiajing Pass anyway, and his prestige in the Liao Kingdom has been greatly reduced. The last wife of King Liao, Queen Shunzhen, was the niece of the governor of the Peking University. Queen Shunzhen, together with the Northern Academy, wanted to support her youngest son to replace him. In order to win over the Southern Academy, the new King of Liao married the daughter of the King of the Southern Academy. Don't look at this The King of the Southern Court is usually quiet, and he is very careful that few people in Liao are his opponents. This time, the King of Liao sent someone to quietly enter the capital to seek peace with the Great Zhou court." Xiao Jing meant it. Xi analyzed the situation of Liao to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "The Liao Kingdom lost the battle this time and took the initiative to seek peace... Are they going to give up the land or lose money?"
I didn't want Xiao Jingxi to laugh when he heard this, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "Let's pay the money, but it's not the Liao State that will pay Da Zhou, but the Da Zhou who will pay the Liao State."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Is there such a good thing?"
"The imperial court has been recuperating in the southern region for these years, and there is no shortage of money." Xiao Jingxi said in a low voice.
After Ren Yaoqi thought about it carefully, it became clear that the imperial court did not lack money, but the control over Yanbei.
The Liao people suffered a defeat at the hands of the Yanbei army, but bypassed the Yanbei palace to seek peace with the court. It is false to seek peace, and it is true to hide evil intentions.
The Liao Kingdom is now in the South and the North. The new Liao King's prestige has been greatly reduced, and he can't lead his troops to attack the city again in the near future. Therefore, the Liao King wanted to take this opportunity to take a breath and clear the door, so he proposed to reopen the border trade between the two countries.
No matter how powerful Yanbei Palace is, it is only a vassal king, and Da Zhou is still surnamed Li.
The Liao people knew that compared with the Liao State separated by the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Yanbei Wangfu was a fishbone choked in the throat of the Great Zhou court. I can't spit it out, I can't swallow it, and it will fester and purify for a long time. Therefore, even if the Liao people suffered a defeat, they dared to ask the Great Zhou Dynasty to offer them New Year coins and allow the border trade to be reopened.
Because if the Liao people stopped the war with Yanbei, the existence of the Yanbei palace would become embarrassing. Without the war, if Yanbei still wanted to support so many troops, the people would have complaints, and over time, the Yanbei palace would not want to cut the army. In this way, it is much easier and more justifiable for the Great Zhou Dynasty to clean up the Yanbei Palace.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi also broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder you said that the king of the Nanyuan has a deep mind. This double-edged sword makes it beautiful."
When the Yanbei Palace was forced to be weak, the Liao Kingdom had already dealt with its own internal affairs, and its national strength had gradually recovered due to the reopening of border trade. When the time came to send troops to the south, where would the Great Zhou Dynasty still be able to resist
Xiao Jingxi smiled when he heard the words, and every time he talked to Ren Yaoqi, it was his most relaxed time. He doesn't have to guard against her, and he doesn't have to be afraid that she won't understand. Every time he opened his mouth, she could understand that he was inseparable. He has never met a few women who are as smart as her.
"So the Yanbei Palace wants to stop the peace talks between the court and Daliao?" Ren Yaoqi asked.
Xiao Jingxi didn't answer immediately after hearing the words, he thought for a while, then looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile: "If that's the case, are you not afraid that we will become the sinners of the entire Great Zhou? After all, for ordinary people, it is always better not to fight. Yes." Xiao Jingxi felt very at ease about including Ren Yaoqi in the category of "we".
