Yun Qiuchen didn't bother much when she heard the words, she smiled and nodded at Ren Yaoqi, greeted everyone again, and then turned around and got into her carriage.
It's just that when the curtain of the carriage was lowered to cut off all the sight outside, all the expressions on her face disappeared, and the pair of autumn water cut pupils were dark and bottomless.
After Yun Qiuchen left, Yan Ningshuang was also sent away, and the rest of the people also got into the carriage. Xu Wanli and Pei Zhiyan left together, while Mrs. Xu and Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jingxi to the Yanbei Palace.
Princess Yanbei heard the news before, so when Mrs. Xu and Ren Yaoqi went to see her, she already knew that Miss Zhou fainted on the painting boat.
The princess said to Xiao Jingxi, who came with him: "Go and do your own thing. This is a matter of the inner court, and you don't need to intervene."
Xiao Jingxi nodded, glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and left the Princess' Nine Sun Palace.
Ren Yaoqi conveyed Miss Yan's meaning to the princess, but the princess asked Ren Yaoqi, "How do you think it should be arranged?"
Ren Yao lowered her head and thought for a while, and replied, "Miss Yan's worry is not without reason. After all, she was sent by the Queen Mother, and if something goes wrong, it's always bad. Isn't there a lot of courtyards in the Hot Spring Villa? They It is enough for one person to live in a yard, and the environment there is quiet, which is more suitable for recuperation."
The princess and Mrs. Xu looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. The princess looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Well, it makes sense."
However, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help blushing a little when she saw the smile on the princess' face. She was talking about things at first, but the princess and Mrs. Xu smiled like this. How could it be that she deliberately made excuses to target these ladies who came to Xiao Jingxi. What do you mean by rushing to Zhuangzi
Ren Yaoqi could only bite the bullet and said, "I'm young, and I ask the princess to forgive me if I'm not thinking well."
The princess was about to speak when the maid Su Jin walked into the palace and reported, "Princess, the old princess sent someone to a different courtyard outside, saying that she wanted to pick up Miss Yan and Miss Zhao into the mansion."
The princess frowned slightly when she heard the words: "Why is this?"
Su Jin replied: "The old princess heard that Miss Zhao is ill, and that many girls have contracted the cold. The old princess said that since Miss Zhao is the younger sister of the imperial concubine, she is her own relative, so she will naturally bring her back to the palace when she is ill. Take care. Miss Yan is the family of the Empress Dowager Yan, and she is also close to her, so I have to pick her up together..."
The princess pursed her lips and said softly, "I see, let her go." After that, the princess sighed again and glanced at Ren Yaoqi.
Although the princess is the hostess of the Yanbei Palace, the old princess is her nominal mother-in-law after all. If the princess sings against the old princess for this matter, the old princess is afraid that the old princess will make a scene, and the scene will not look good.
Ren Yaoqi said sympathetically, "It's fine if you take care of them nearby. After all, Miss Zhao and Miss Yan's identities are different from other girls."
Mrs. Xu also said: "I'm not afraid that they will make trouble if I put it under my nose."
The princess didn't say anything, just patted Ren Yaoqi's hand.
It was getting late at this time, Ren Yaoqi said goodbye together with Mrs. Xu after seeing the explanation.
After Ren Yaoqi and Mrs. Xu left, the princess frowned and instructed Madam Xin, "Go and find out who is talking in front of the old princess! It's just sick over there, and we're going to pick someone up here!"
Madam Xin immediately responded, and in the evening when the princess was about to go to bed, Madam Xin came back and reported: "The doctor who examined Miss Zhao's pulse today happened to also ask the princess for a pulse of peace, so the old princess knew that Miss Zhao was ill. matter."
The princess was noncommittal when she heard the words: "Just right?"
Madam Xin lowered her head and said, "Dr. Yang is less than 30 years old, so it would not have been his turn to ask for the pulse of the old princess, but the old princess liked his witty words, and he was able to observe his words and expressions, and his medical skills were passable, so she He was designated to come. Usually, Dr. Yang will also visit other houses, such as the Yun family, the Su family, and the Meng family. These people are familiar with him and have some reputation in Yan Bei. "
The princess curved the corners of her lips, and this reserved smile made people not suspect that she was Xiao Jingxi's biological mother, and the two looked somewhat similar.
"A good man should take advantage of his youth to sharpen his skills, lest a piece of rough jade be eroded by Wenrou Township and become a piece of scrap metal. I heard from the lord that Jiajing Guan is in need of a doctor to accompany the army. Since he is capable, let him He should go to Jiajingguan to exercise."
"Yes, princess, slave and maid will do it now."
"Let him go tonight." The princess added in a low voice.
Before Mother Xin left, she asked again: "Doctor Yang has been trusted by the old princess recently. What if the old princess insists on recruiting him back after she finds out?"
The princess was being served by the maids to remove the hairpin on her head, and she didn't hesitate when she heard the words: "Since he went to Jiajing Pass, he received the military order. That's not our business."
"Did the person who instructed Dr. Yang behind his back not go after him?"
This time, the princess was silent for a moment, and then she asked, "When will Concubine Yun come back?"
"The concubine originally said that she would go back to the mansion a few years ago, but then she said that she wanted to wait until it was warmer before leaving, so she should be back soon. Will the slave servant ask someone to ask her tomorrow?"
The princess didn't know what to think, and sighed softly: "Go down."
Madam Xin didn't say any more and stepped back.
The princess looked in the mirror and straightened her hair on the temples, but her eyes were filled with worries that were not easy to be discovered. Su Jin thought she was checking whether she had gray hair, and hurriedly smiled and said: "The princess' hair is black and shiny, and there is something outside. Many ladies have come to inquire about the side room you use for shampooing on weekdays."
The princess smiled when she heard the words, and sighed a little: "My son is going to marry, I'm getting old."
Several maids hurriedly said: "The princess is not old!"
The princess shook her head: "Everyone will grow old, but monsters will not grow old. When I get old, Jingxi and Jinglin will both grow up, and it will not be easy for others to bully them. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. Well, I do wish I could age faster."
Several maids looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Or Su Jin smiled and said: "Young master is about to marry a wife, and it will not be long before our palace will have a young son, the princess will definitely not want to grow old quickly, you definitely want to see the young son marry in the future. A wife and a child, and seeing the little son born again..."
The princess was amused by her, then nodded seriously and said, "Well, you are right, I also want to see my son's children and grandchildren. My son has suffered so much, and the only thing I want in my life is to hope that he will be peaceful. An An, everything can go as he wishes. As long as it can make him happy and make him happy, no matter what it is, I think it is good. "
The princess who said this has no previous worries in her eyes. There is only a strong warmth and hope, which makes her look a little less majestic and a little more gentle than when she was in front of others. some eyes.
Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu were picked up by the old princess to the Yanbei Palace on the night of the Duanyang Festival, and they were arranged in a side hall not far from the old princess' bedroom. The people who served them were arranged by the old princess herself. He didn't say much about the matter, and he even asked the maid to visit Zhao Yingqiu for him, and gave them a lot of things.
Zhao Yingqiu's illness was not serious, and after a few days of recuperation, he got better, and there was no recurrence. The two of them were called over to talk by the old princess from time to time, and it could be seen that the old princess was very happy. The two would go to greet the princess every day, and the princess saw them most of the time.
But neither Yan Ningshuang nor Zhao Yingqiu saw Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin again, not even in the garden.
Once, when Yan Ningshuang went to greet the princess, she also asked: "I lived in the palace for a few days, and I didn't see the princess and Xiao Gongzi. I wanted to say hello, but it seems that I am rude."
The princess smiled and said, "Jinglin went out and won't be back until next month. As for Jingxi..." The princess took a sip of tea slowly, "Jingxi is not well, so he usually rests at the hot spring villa. "
"Hot Spring Villa?" Yan Ningshuang was stunned.
The princess nodded and said gently: "Yes, the hot spring villa is the most suitable for recuperation. Before, I wanted you to stay there for a while to recuperate, but if you come to the palace, you can still spend time with the old man. Princess, she likes you very much."
The smile on Yan Ningshuang's face froze.
Zhao Yingqiu has always been well-behaved, without any outrageous words or deeds. Every day, except to greet the princess, he is at the old princess's place, or he stays in his room and does not go out, and rarely comes out to mess around.
However, compared with the old princess, the princess' attitude towards Zhao Yingqiu, the cousin of her eldest daughter-in-law, is not particularly affectionate. Although she should give as much, she treats Yan Ningshuang equally. On the contrary, the old princess was closer to Zhao Yingqiu.
So in the following days, Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu were handed over to the princess to take care of them. The palace of Yanbei was still peaceful and nothing happened. After all, the important parties are not there, even if someone wants to make waves, they won't be able to.
But since she has entered the Yanbei Palace, even if Yan Ningshuang wants to go back to the hot spring villa, it will not work. Otherwise, her purpose would be too blatant, and the princess is not a fool.
Therefore, during this period, Ren Yao's period was still very leisurely.
On this day, Ren Yaoqi went to Mrs. Xu to send her last repaired scores. She was due to get married in a few months. Mrs. Xu explained that she would put it down temporarily after finishing those in her hand, and the rest Next year, we will talk about it next year. Anyway, the work of cultivating books will not be completed within a few years.
I don't want Ren Yaoqi to meet Pei Zhiyan again when he went to Xu's house.
