When the food was in front of her eyes, Ren Yaoqi realized that she was really hungry. She seriously ate two bowls of porridge, a basket of steamed dumplings, a half-spring roll, and some side dishes. www.Pinwenba.com
Just feeling a little full, Xiao Jingxi came back.
"Are you full?" Xiao Jingxi sat down beside Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi nodded, and then Xiao Jingxi took Ren Yaoqi's bowls and chopsticks, and ate the half of the leftover spring rolls in her plate.
Mulberry, who was serving on the side, said quickly, "The servant asks the kitchen to bring some more food."
Xiao Jingxi raised his head and smiled: "No need, I have to go out later, I have enough food on the table."
Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, and asked Sangling and the others to retire, then filled Xiao Jingxi with a bowl of porridge, and sat there watching him eat while serving him vegetables.
It was not until Xiao Jingxi put down the chopsticks in his hand that Ren Yaoqi called the maid again to come up and remove the dining table.
After eating, Xiao Jingxi didn't rush to leave immediately, but helped Ren Yaoqi to sit down on the Nankang.
"How is it now?" Ren Yaoqi leaned against Xiao Jingxi's arms and asked softly, breaking the warm silence in the room.
"Xiao Heng's people have been cleaned up, and the troops outside the city have also retreated. Don't worry, it's all right." Xiao Jingxi stroked Ren Yaoqi's cool and smooth hair and said softly.
"Did you deliver a letter to the Hezhong Palace?" Xiao Jingxi asked with his head lowered.
Ren Yaoqi paused, nodded and said: "I entered your study, checked your documents, and guessed that there might be a big move from the court, so... I don't know if I did it right, sorry, this time I overstepped."
Xiao Jingxi tapped Ren Yaoqi on the head lightly, and said with a smile: "Stupid! Who said you are arrogant? I allowed you to enter my study, as long as this Yanbei Wangfu is where I can go, you can go there. I can go. What's more, it's thanks to your quick response this time. If it wasn't for the large-scale and frequent mobilization of the King of Rivers, which deterred those people in the south, how many people would have surrounded Yunyang City today? It's really wonderful. The people under my command all said that I had no last resort. I didn't have to send out one soldier and one soldier from the Hezhong Palace to contain most of the troops in the south and relieve the predicament of Yanbei. I am really shameless. Tell them, it's not because of how powerful I am, it's purely because I am lucky to have married a very powerful lady."
Hearing the banter in Xiao Jingxi's words, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing, and finally sighed: "I can't ask my grandfather to blatantly send troops to Yanbei, and even to avoid being criticized by Wei and saving Zhao is not good, we can only use shock and deterrence. This move. Thanks to those people in the south who have stayed in the gentle village for a long time, their courage has been corroded. "
No matter how close the relationship between Yanbei Palace and Hezhong Palace is, it is not easy for Hezhong Palace to send troops to Yanbei. This is a taboo thing. If Hezhong Wangfu really sent people to surround the capital in order to understand the dangers of Yanbei, in the eyes of the world, it would be that Yanbei Wangfu and Hezhong Wangfu colluded with each other, and the court would have become a famous teacher. If you lose the wind, maybe it will give the Liao people a chance.
Therefore, after thinking twice, Ren Yaoqi did not ask Hezhong Wangfu to send troops to help, but asked Hezhong Wangfu to frequently mobilize people. Because the imperial court was always concerned about the tiger that was temporarily lying at his feet and could jump up and threaten his life at any time, the imperial court did not dare to send all the troops to Yanbei to gamble.
"What happened to Ningxia?" Ren Yaoqi asked again.
Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised when he heard this: "Ningxia? What happened to Ningxia?"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help rolling his eyes, looked at him and said, "Didn't you go to Ningxia to solve the Zeng family's affairs during the period of your 'disappearance'?"
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help laughing, and sighed half-truth: "Slim, if you are a man..."
Ren Yaoqi stopped when he heard Xiao Jingxi say this, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What if I were a man?"
Xiao Jingxi pretended to be frowning, his face full of embarrassment: "No, if you are a man, I have to marry you, but this matter is more difficult..."
Ren Yaoqi blushed and glared at him: "Nonsense." Although he said so, it was undeniable that Ren Yaoqi was still delighted.
Xiao Jingxi held her face and turned her head over, kissed her face, and said with a smile, "I mean it, and it's fortunate that you are a daughter, otherwise people in the world would call me absurd. ."
Ren Yaoqi put the back of his hand on his face and said uncomfortably, "How is the Zeng family now?"
Seeing that she was shy, Xiao Jingxi stopped teasing her, and continued to hug her and said, "Zeng family... Zeng Lu colluded with the Liao people to set up an ambush to attack the second son of the Yanbei palace. already."
Ren Yaoqi frowned: "Is it really related to the Zeng family when you were attacked in Wuzhou?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled indifferently when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter if it's related, but it's true that the Zeng family wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but in the end they didn't get it. After this incident, the Di family's momentum in Ningxia has soared. It won't be long before the Wu family can be replaced. If the northwest is stable, so will Yanbei's backyard."
Ren Yaoqi listened to Xiao Jingxi's words easily, but he also knew that things must not be so simple. Although the place in Ningxia is not big, the forces of all parties are very complicated. Xiao Jingxi took this opportunity to attack the Zeng family and support the Di family. It must have been measured many times.
"Where are Zeng Lu and his son now?"
The Zeng family has always been a thorn in Ren Yaoqi's heart, and she knows better than anyone else that when it comes to people like Zeng Lu and Zeng Kui, either don't beat them, or beat them to death with a stick, otherwise If so, there will be endless trouble. So even though he heard that Zeng's father and son had lost power in Ningxia, Ren Yaoqi still did not dare to take it lightly.
Obviously Xiao Jingxi, who has played against the Zeng family several times, also understands this truth, Wen Yan said to Ren Yaoqi with a soothing smile: "This time I cut off most of the Zeng family's wings, and the rest is handed over to the Di family. After all, it's a matter of Ningxia, so I don't want to openly reach out. But don't worry, Zeng's father and son are grasshoppers of the autumn queen now, and they won't be around for long."
When Ren Yaoqi saw Xiao Jingxi speak so confidently, he felt a lot more at ease: "Where's Mrs. Wu?"
Ren Yaoqi remembered that Xiao Wei also gathered some forces that were always loyal to the Wu family, but most of these forces were lost after Wu Xiaohe's posthumous son was born. This woman is not smart, but her ambition is not small. Judging from the strength of her control over Ningxia, it would be difficult for her to make waves in Ningxia.
Although King Yanbei did not have much brother-sister relationship with Xiao Wei, he always had a bit of brother-sister friendship. Ren Yaoqi had heard from the princess before that the prince wanted to take Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu back to the Yanbei Palace to accompany the old princess, and the old princess also mentioned it. too many times. But now the old princess has died in Xiao Heng's hands, if Xiao Wei's mother and daughter come back, the Yanbei Palace may not be stable.
Yu Si, Ren Yaoqi didn't want Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu to come back, this mother and daughter were too noisy, and their minds were not right.
Xiao Jingxi seemed to understand what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Wu's son is in Ningxia, so naturally she can't be too far away. Although the young son of the Wu family is still young, he has a heavy responsibility, how can he be around him? No elders to look after?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, and then he remembered that Mrs. Wu's son Xiao Jingxi said was the posthumous son of the Di family from Wu Xiaohe. He couldn't help laughing, looking at the sly man beside him and said: "You handed Mrs. Wu over to the Di family? Are you bad?"
Xiao Jingxi pinched Ren Yaoqi's face, and said unwillingly, "Miss, you can't talk nonsense, you are a talented husband, and you have a good appearance. He is a good person you can meet but can't ask for, what's wrong? "
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
"Everyone has their own position. If you stand in the wrong position, it will be messed up. Since Mrs. Wu has already married into the Wu family, she is a member of the Wu family. As for Wu Yiyu, she is still the young lady of the Zeng family. When the father and son of the Zeng family are gone one day, the place she should go back to is her mother's house, not her uncle's." Wu Yiyu's mother's house is naturally her brother Wu's little son. .
Xiao Jingxi's tone was light when he said these words, but he was very determined.
People like Xiao Jingxi naturally understand that not all cats and dogs can be picked up in their own backyard. King Yanbei cared about his brother and sister's love, but he didn't need to take it into account. His heart was more ruthless than that of King Yanbei. But Xiao Jingxi's cruelty reassured those he was close to.
The husband and wife were talking here, when Apple came in and reported that the princess had come to invite Xiao Jingxi over there.
Xiao Jingxi said to Ren Yaoqi, "My mother asked me for the funeral of the old princess. I will go to Jiuyang Palace."
The body of the old princess has been returned to the Yanbei palace, and the princess has ordered someone to build a mourning hall. The princess asked Ren Yaoqi to stay in Zhaoning Hall not to go out, because the old princess was not dying, and the princess was afraid of bumping into the child in Ren Yaoqi's womb. Of course, the princess would not say such words explicitly, and she only said that Ren Yaoqi had suffered frightened.
Ren Yaoqi got up and sent Xiao Jingxi out.
"Is Jinglin coming back too?"
Originally, Xiao Jinglin would not come back so soon, but the old princess died, and as her granddaughter, she was going to come back for mourning.
Xiao Jingxi nodded: "I have already sent the letter, and Jinglin will be back in the next few days. Go back, it's windy outside today, so don't go out."
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, she did not insist on going out to see each other. After Xiao Jingxi left, she turned around and came back. Ren Yaoqi was in good spirits after a sleep before, thinking about going to the study to find a book for leisure, while waiting for Xiao Jingxi to come back, when he walked to the study, he heard two little maids talking in a low voice.
"... The princess sent Doctor Zhang, Doctor Li, and Doctor Gu to the Yun family, but they were injured too badly, and I don't know if they could save their lives."
"But it must be rescued, otherwise we Yanbei will lose the second young master Yun."
