According to the decree, the clan girl who had previously made a marriage contract with Xiao Jingyue suddenly died suddenly, so the queen mother pointed another marriage to Xiao Jingyue, and it was Yan Ningshuang, the eldest daughter of the Yan family who was pointed to Xiao Jingyue.
This will is on the surface, and it is done for the world to see. The Queen Mother secretly sent a secret decree to the Yanbei Palace. The content of this secret decree was not very polite. The Queen Mother expressed 120,000 indignation at Xiao Jingyue's dare to molest the Yan family daughter, and severely criticized the Yanbei King. After talking with the princess, they blamed them for not restraining the children of the Xiao family, and even allowing this kind of thing to happen in the palace of Yanbei.
The Queen Mother indicated in her will that it was really helpless to point Yan Ningshuang to Xiao Jingyue, and she and the Yan family were reluctant. It's just that there is no other way than to let Yan Ningshuang marry Xiao Jingyue. After all, Yan Ningshuang's identity is still somewhat special. The customs of Kyoto and Jiangnan are not as open as Yanbei. For example, Yan Ningshuang was taken advantage of by a man, and so many people bumped into it. There is no way to find a good husband's family in the future.
In the end, the Queen Mother stated in the secret decree that Yan Ningshuang was wronged by marrying into the Xiao family like this. She hoped that the Yanbei Palace would treat her grandniece well, otherwise she and the Yan family would not give up.
And Yan Ningshuang will be escorted back to Yanbei again soon to marry Xiao Jingyue.
Xiao Jingyue himself just sneered when he received this decree. He didn't take it seriously as to who his wife was. It didn't matter to him whether it was Yan Ningshuang or someone from the Zhao family. Xiao Jingyue's father, Xiao Heng, gave him a hard lesson and almost changed the family law, but was finally stopped by the Su family.
In the blink of an eye, it was August, and this period was calm and busy for Ren Yaoqi.
The ladies from the capital have been honestly staying in the other courtyards of the Yanbei Wangfu since they were accused of marriage, probably because they know that they are not popular among the many noble families in Yanbei, so they have been even in other courtyards these days. No one can go out the door, so naturally no one can go out and go out.
Ren Yaoqi's wedding date is in September, so she has rarely gone out since the Qianjin Banquet. Although there are not many things that she needs to do by herself, there are many things that she needs to participate in or make decisions in person. She always feels that It seemed that he was busy every day and didn't seem to do anything, but it passed like that.
On this day, Ren Yaoqi was in his room trying on the wedding dresses and gowns that the princess had brought to her. The wedding dresses of Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi were all made by Yanbei Wangfu, and they looked very cumbersome and heavy when stacked layer by layer. Her crown was also much heavier than that of ordinary brides.
Although it is not midsummer now, but Yanbei is still very hot these days, Ren Yaoqi only tried the second set, and a dense layer of sweat beads appeared on his face. However, she never shouted that she was tired or said she wanted to rest. In the end, it was Mama Xin, who was sent by the princess, who said, "Miss Ren, why don't you take a break and try again? There are still two sets of dresses, it's still early, We'll be fine when we go home later."
Ren Yaoqi nodded when she heard the words, and asked the maids to help her take off the crown on her head, and said with a smile, "I don't usually put a freezer in my room, so let you all accompany me to heat here. Why don't you go to the flower hall in front of you to rest for a while, and I'll have someone prepare some iced sour plum soup."
Madam Xin hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, how can the slaves be unable to bear this heat? The hottest time of the year has passed. Besides, the slaves are here today on the order of the princess to serve you. Take a good rest, and we'll continue when we're done." Madam Xin refused to go to the flower hall to rest, she was relieved to see Ren Yaoqi tried all the dresses and there was no problem.
Ren Yaoqi stopped persuading him, and only had people bring the chilled sour plum soup to Mammy Xin and others to quench their thirst.
Ren Yaoqi was chatting with Mammy Xin while drinking tea, when he suddenly heard someone making noise outside. The movement is not small.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Apple, and Apple immediately withdrew, but she came back after a while, and hurriedly reported in front of everyone: "Miss, someone from the Lei family is here! Miss is about to give birth. "The eldest uncle doesn't worry about letting someone come over to pick up his wife."
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, he immediately put down the tea bowl in his hand, with a look of joy and some worry on his face: "Sister is going to give birth? Didn't I say before that it would take a few days? What about the people from the Lei family?"
Apple said: "It's Xiangqin, she is in the wife's house right now, and the wife is preparing to go out to Lei's house."
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, she stood up, she glanced at Mammy Xin and was about to say something, Mammy Xin smiled understandingly: "Yo, Miss Ren's production is a big deal, if you want to see you first, Miss. Seeing the people from the Lei family? These wedding dresses are already ready anyway, and it won’t take long to modify them. It’s the same if you try it today or tomorrow.
Ren Yaoqi nodded apologetically and sent Mammy Xin and others from the Yanbei Palace out.
As soon as they went out, they heard the hustle and bustle in the yard, everyone was smiling and smiling, and even the always calm Nanny Zhou stood under the eaves porch and ordered a few maids to prepare things.
Mammy Xin couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. This is the case for people who are grandmothers or grandmothers for the first time. Ren Yaohua has children all his life, and Li's seniority is also one step higher.
But before she left, she still told Ren Yaoqi: "Miss, you can't go into the delivery room and you can't help too much. It's better to stay at home today and listen to the good news."
Although Ren Yaoqi is not married today, but the wedding date is approaching, some high-profile families are particular about these rules. If Ren Yaoqi went to Lei's house recklessly, not only would it be bad for the child, but she would also be bumped into. Mother Xin was afraid that Mrs. Li was still young and Ren Yaoqi didn't understand these taboos, so she made a special point.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and said, "I see, mammy. I'm not going to Lei's house, I'm just going to ask my sister's maid."
Only then did Madam Xin take the people away with confidence.
Ren Yaoqi was about to go to Li's room, but she saw that she had hurried out of her room immediately, and Xiangqin was walking behind Li's while explaining Ren Yaohua's situation. Li must have wanted to go to Ren Yaohua in a hurry, and only changed a piece of clothes before leaving.
Ren Yaoqi hurried up to meet her, and asked, "Why is it today? I remember the last time Ms. Wen saw it and said it would take a few days."
Li shi hurriedly walked out with the people: "It is possible to arrive a few days in advance or a few days later. When I gave birth to you, it was two days earlier than expected."
It's just that after Mr. Li said this, Ren Yaoqi saw Xiangqin pouting behind Mrs. Li. Ren Yaoqi was about to ask her a question, but Xiangqin had returned to her stern look, but in the end, she Glancing at Ren Yaoqi, the little eyes looked at him as if he was still reluctant to speak.
Ren Yaoqi saw that she could still do something wrong, but he was relieved, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Only then did Ren Yaoqi send the Li family and the others out of the second family.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and replied, "If there is anything, send someone back to tell me."
Li responded and walked away.
After Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou left, Ren Yaoqi began to sit in the room and wait for news from the Lei family. She waited from morning to afternoon, and Mrs. Li sent someone back once, saying that there was nothing to reassure Ren Yaoqi. But it will take some time for the baby to come out.
Ren Shimin also came back from the academy. Although he didn't say anything, he still cared about the birth of his first grandson.
At night, Mrs. Li hadn't come back and didn't send anyone back, Ren Yaoqi was a little worried again.
She waited anxiously at home and was about to send someone to the Lei's house to inquire when Li's maid, Xi'er, came back in a hurry. Maybe because she ran too fast, the sweat on Xi'er's face when she came in covered her face. Her rouge fainted, and as soon as she saw that Ren Yaoqi couldn't even give a gift, she hurriedly said, "Miss, quickly send someone to the Yanbei Palace to invite a midwife surnamed Gong."
When Ren Yaoqi heard this, he couldn't help but "crack" in his heart, and quickly got up and asked, "But what happened to my sister?"
Xi'er was about to cry: "The midwife said that the eldest miss's birth is difficult, and the child's fetal position is not right, with her feet facing down. Miss, go to the Yanbei palace to ask the princess, I heard that there is a man named Gong in the Yanbei palace. Madam Wen is very powerful, even if the fetal position is not right, she can correct it. She delivered the birth of the princess in those days. It's just that Gong mama is the concubine's person and never delivers to outsiders, and she is also old now. If you go to ask the princess, the princess will definitely agree to send Mama Gong to deliver the baby, Miss, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."
Ren Yaoqi was startled, and his legs were a little weak: "Why is it late? Is it so serious?"
Xi'er said: "If it's too late, I'm afraid that the child will not be able to be saved. Eldest Miss is stubborn and insists on keeping the child!"
Ren Yaoqi understood after hearing this. It must have been Mother Wen who saw Ren Yaohua's dystocia and asked if she wanted to protect the adult or the child. Ren Yaohua was born as a mother and naturally wanted the child to survive.
Ren Yaoqi didn't have time to think too much, and took Xi'er out of the house without saying anything. He didn't have time for someone to re-prepare the carriage, and went directly to the Lei family's car to Yanbei Wangfu.
But before she got on the carriage, she sent Leshan beside her to Lei's house and told her: "No matter what, keep the child! If my sister is stubborn until the end, you will knock her out!"
After Leshan received the order, he didn't even sit in the carriage, and ran directly to Lei's house.
