Later, Apple also brought in the news that Yuan Dayong had inquired from the outer courtyard.

The ten ladies from Beijing have been arranged in an annex next to the Yanbei Palace. The Yanbei Palace has also sent many guards to protect them. Two of the ladies fell ill when they were on the ship, but they were unwilling. Delayed the trip, so I resisted and insisted on rushing, and didn't tell anyone about his illness. I was only discovered after entering Yunyang City, and he was much stronger than the civilian official who was sick on the road.

The Yanbei Palace has sent a doctor to treat these two ladies. It is said that it was only the first time to take a boat. It was caused by unaccustomedness. In addition, some unaccustomed water and soil would be cured within a few days of recuperation.

This time there are three court officials who came with these ten ladies, one of whom is Pei Zhiyan. These officials did not deliberately send these ladies to attend the banquet. The imperial court received a letter of credence from the Liao people a while ago. They wanted to make peace with the Great Zhou and reopen the border trade between the two countries. The imperial court sent people to come and listen. Fictional and real, and Pei Zhiyan came here mostly because of the set of "Pictures of Yanshan River".

Pei Zhiyan did not go to Yunyang City today. It was indeed for the colleague who fell ill on the way, and heard that they are now staying in Cangzhou.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being a little surprised when he listened: "Did Yuan Dayong inquire about this?"

Originally, she just wanted to inquire about Mr. Pei, and didn't want Yuan Dayong to find out that the news came back in such detail. It's nothing more than matters related to those ladies, and even the court officials have inquired about this time. The relationship between Daliao, Yanbei and the court is not simple. It is difficult for ordinary people to know that the Liao people seek peace and reopen border trade.

Apple nodded: "Yeah."

"Then did he mention where he found it?" Ren Yaoqi thought thoughtfully.

Apple continued to nod: "Master Zhu took him to find someone from Yanbei Palace."

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

Seeing Ren Yaoqi not speaking, Apple blinked, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "Tell him not to go to the Yanbei Palace to inquire about news easily." She has not married the Yanbei Palace, so she has used the network of the Palace. If people know it, she must be a handle. Zhu Ruomei has a deep relationship with her, except for that, other people can't use it casually.

Apple nodded, thought about it, and said, "Master Zhu said that it was the second son of Xiao who confessed. If you have any needs, you can send someone to the Yanbei Palace. The person Yuan Dayong is looking for is the second son of Xiao. Chewing on the tongue."

Ren Yaoqi was stunned when she heard the words, and she felt a hint of warmth in her heart, but she still said: "That's not good, now there are a lot of people staring at us in Yunyang City. It's better to do more than less." And the prince and the princess are in charge, even if Xiao Jingxi doesn't care about her using the people in his hands, she has to worry about whether the king and princess will care. If there is something important, she will go directly to Xiao Jinglin.

Apple nodded again: "I know the lady, I will tell him."

When Apple was about to withdraw, Ren Yaoqi suddenly remembered something and asked: "What do you know the last names of the two girls who are sick?"

"One is Yan and the other is Zhao."

Ren Yaoqi told Apple to withdraw.

From this day on, Ren Yaoqi still keeps people's attention to Pei Zhiyan's whereabouts, but there is no news of Pei Zhiyan for the next few days, and it seems that he still stayed in Cangzhou.

And those ten ladies from Kyoto also took a good rest for a few days in the annex of the Yanbei Royal Mansion. They came from afar. Most of them are unfamiliar in Yanbei and don’t have to go out to meet friends. People outside had to pass through the Yanbei Palace if they wanted to see them. So when these ladies first came to Yanbei, there was a lot of excitement outside, but there was not much movement afterwards. The Yanbei Palace was also afraid of something wrong with the ladies from Kyoto, so he was happy to see them quiet.

Ren Yaoqi didn't have much curiosity about these girls who came from afar, and it couldn't be better to have no wind and no waves.

In a blink of an eye, May, the fifth day of May is the Duanyang Festival. There will still be a dragon boat race in Yunyang City this year. Unlike previous years, Ren Shimin also received an official invitation from the Su family this year. They used to come to Yanbei. Watching the dragon boat race are all as Baihezhen Ren's family, but this year is different.

Ren Yaoqi heard that these young ladies from Beijing will appear on the day of the Dragon Boat Race on the Duanyang Festival. This year, there is a dragon boat that represents the southern court. It must be a lively event again.

On the second day of May, the Yanbei Palace sent a carriage over, saying that the princess sent someone to pick her up to the Palace.

Ren Yaoqi was a little strange. In the past, Xiao Jinglin came to pick her up when she went to Yanbei Palace. Today, the princess didn't know why she picked her.

Thinking that way, Ren Yaoqi didn't dare to delay too much, let the maidservant wait on the dressing, changed clothes and took a few maidservants out of the second door to ride in the carriage of Yanbei Palace.

Seeing the eight maids and eight maids who came to pick her up, and a team of a dozen guards, Ren Yaoqi believed that it was not Xiao Jinglin but the princess who brought her into the house today. When Xiao Jinglin came to pick her up, she didn't talk about ostentation, and she didn't let too many people follow. She either came by herself or let her maid come. And for those maids who came to take over as Yaoqi today, Ren Yaoqi recognized one or two familiar ones, and they were serving in front of the princess.

The maidservant of the Yanbei Palace was extremely respectful when she saw Ren Yaoqi, without the slightest overbearing appearance, she was very careful to support her on the carriage.

The group of people went to the Yanbei Palace in such a mighty manner. After entering the palace, the carriage did not even stop at the place where the foreign visitors disembarked, but traveled a little longer. Then these ten or so maids led Ren Yaoqi to the Jiuyang Temple where the princess lived.

When Ren Yaoqi entered Jiuyang Palace, the princess was sitting on the main seat, and Xiao Jinglin was sitting next to the princess. However, Ren Yaoqi also noticed that besides the princess and Xiao Jinglin, there were also two girls present, sitting in the guest seats below, talking to the princess.

Hearing the sound of someone entering the hall, several people looked over at the same time.

As soon as the princess saw her, she said angrily: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know if I take the initiative to come and talk to me."

Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile on her face. She even excused her in front of the princess: "Yaoqi has been very busy recently. Last time I heard from her husband that she participated in the completion of several broken music scores. Maybe I It's been a long time since I saw her."

Ren Yaoqi blinked, then stepped forward to salute the princess, and smiled when he got up: "I know I was wrong, princess don't bother me."

As they were talking, Ren Yaoqi noticed that the eyes of the other two strange girls were fixed on her face.

One of the girls smiled while looking at her: "This is Miss Ren, isn't it? It really is... not as famous as meeting."

The girl who was talking was fourteen or five years old. She had a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows, and her slender phoenix eyes were radiant when she smiled. She had a small nose and a cherry mouth. She looked very good with most A beauty of human aesthetics.

Another girl is similar in age to the previous one. Although she looks slightly inferior, she is also very iconic, especially when she frowns slightly. The light sorrow between her eyebrows makes her look very affectionate, which is a standard. Beautiful Kyoto beauty.

The princess smiled and said, "The one on the left is Miss Yan, and the one on the right is Miss Zhao. Both are from Kyoto." Miss Yan is the one who made the sound before, and Miss Zhao is the one with lesser colors. .

Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded, and went to meet them.

Miss Yan never looked away from Ren Yaoqi's face, she said with a meaningful smile: "I heard of you when I was in Kyoto."

Miss Zhao said softly: "Ningshuang, you might as well let Miss Ren sit down first, Miss Ren, come and sit with me."

At this time, the princess said: "Yaoqi come and sit with me, Jinglin, go and sit with Miss Zhao."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinglin got up and gave up her seat next to the princess.

Miss Yan's expression changed slightly when she saw her, but she smiled again soon, and took a sip of the tea she had on hand. Miss Zhao didn't say anything.

Ren Yaoqi did not decline either, and sat down next to the princess with his face as usual, making outsiders look natural as they would normally be.

The princess waited for Ren Yaoqi to sit down and confessed to her: "Ms. Yan and Ms. Zhao are our Yanbei's guests. They are the same age as you. They must be able to talk to one place. You and Jinglin will help me. Treat them well."

Ren Yaoqi obediently responded with a "yes"

The princess sat in the hall for a while and talked to them for a while, until Madam Xin came over and seemed to have something to do with the princess, the princess said to Ren Yaoqi: "You and Jinglin accompany Miss Yan and Miss Zhao to play Right, the two of them are getting better soon, so let the people below them take care of them."

Ren Yaoqi responded again, and then several people bid farewell to the princess and left the Nine Sun Palace together.

Yan Ningshuang and Miss Zhao, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin together, the four walked side by side, and no one spoke for a while.

Xiao Jinglin has never taken the initiative to speak in front of outsiders. Ms. Zhao seems to be an aloof temper. Yan Ningshuang didn't know why she didn't speak, or Ren Yaoqi asked: "Should I go to the garden or sit in Jinglin's Showa Hall? "

Zhao Yingqiu smiled slightly: "Anything is fine."

Yan Ningshuang glanced at Ms. Zhao and smiled: "Well, let’s walk around. This is the first time we have come to Yanbei Palace. After Yingqiu, you can talk to Sister Ying'e even though she is the eldest concubine of Yanbei Palace. , But I have never been to Yanbei."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glance at Miss Zhao. Hearing what Yan Ningshuang said, it seemed that Zhao Yingqiu had something to do with the concubine.

Zhao Yingqiu smiled at the sight of the former Yaoqi and explained: "The concubine Zhao Ying'e is my cousin, and the father of my father and sister Ying'e is a direct brother."

Ren Yaoqi suddenly understood.

The eldest son Zhao Ying'e was the daughter of Princess Chang'an and Beichang Hou Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng was the eldest son of the old Beichang Hou. After the death of the old Beichang Hou, he was hereditary. The father should be the second son of the old Beichanghou.

No wonder there were ten ladies who came to Yanbei, but today the princess summoned them alone. Fortunately, Yan Ningshuang said, after all, the girl of the queen mother's family, she did not expect that Miss Zhao would be regarded as an in-law of Yanbei Palace.

Xiao Jinglin still looks reluctant to talk to people today. Ren Yaoqi can only take the initiative to greet them: "How is the body of the concubine?"

The one who answered her was Yan Ningshuang: "I went to the palace once before I came, sister Ying'e... looks much better, but her complexion is always worse than before."

Zhao Yingqiu smiled bitterly and said: "She has a deep relationship with her husband and wife, but her husband... If her sister had not become pregnant, she would not be able to survive."

The atmosphere was a little sad for a while, and Zhao Yingqiu looked sad and melancholy.

Ren Yaoqi was planning to take Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu to the garden to take a look at the flowers and plants, but a few people came along instead of facing him.

"Princess, several ladies, the old princess would like to please." The visitor walked up to them and said.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin.

Xiao Jinglin said: "Didn't the old princess say that she was unwell?"

The man said: "After taking the medicine, the old princess is better. I heard that there are two young ladies from the capital. The old princess asked the servants to invite the two young ladies to sit in the Shou'an Hall."

Xiao Jinglin paused, but could only say: "I will take them to the Shou'an Hall to meet the old princess, Yaoqi, you go back and tell my mother." Xiao Jinglin was afraid that Ren Yaoqi would be angry in front of the old princess, so she thought about sending her away. There is the princess.

But the person who came said: "The slave and maidservant send someone to report to the princess, the princess, and Miss Ren, the two ladies will get up with the slave and maid."

Ren Yaoqi gave Xiao Jinglin a look, indicating that there was nothing wrong, and Xiao Jinglin could only give up.

In this way, several people went to the old concubine's Shou'an Temple together.

The old concubine has not been very happy ever since something happened in Ningxia, especially after his granddaughter Wu Yiyu got married. Xiao Wei wanted to see her daughter several times and never saw it. However, the influence of the Zeng family and the father and son in Ningxia and the Wu family Already evenly matched, the Wu family might be a bit weaker, and Xiao Wei couldn't help it.

Xiao Wei once wanted to ask the old princess to let the Yanbei Palace come forward to mediate, but Xiao Wei and Zeng's marriage had never informed the Yanbei Palace. The Yanbei Palace only persuaded them symbolically, and finally left them to make trouble. Up.

Later, Xiao Wei also wanted to understand that the Yanbei Palace was afraid that she would not agree with the Zeng family so as to take advantage of the fishermen's benefit. After figuring it out, she did not dare to make a fuss too much.

How can the old princess feel happy seeing her daughter and granddaughter suffer? But what can she do? King Yanbei did not come out of her belly, and no one in the Yanbei Palace wanted to listen to her. Her family was far away in the capital, but now the Xian Palace was rising. The Yanbei Palace had the intention of forming an alliance with the King Xian to fight against the imperial court. There is no more support.

Therefore, the old princess got sick with anger, but her temper was torn down. So when Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi made a marriage, she didn't have the strength to come out and make a small mess.

When they entered the hall, the old princess was still very imposing sitting on the head, but Ren Yaoqi felt that the old princess's imposing body was like being supported by a gorgeous hair crown and clothing, which was less than before. Somewhat emboldened as it should be.

Several people went up to give her a courtesy.

The old princess raised her hand to let them get up. Her gaze flicked over Ren Yaoqi, then stopped on Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Let’s guess, the **** the left is the girl from the Yan family. On the right is the girl from the Zhao family."

Yan Ningshuang raised his sleeves and covered his mouth with a smile: "How did the old princess guess it?"

Zhao Yingqiu also smiled and said, "The old princess has really good eyesight."

"I saw the Queen Mother when I was young. The girl in Yan's family is similar to that of the Queen Mother. The other one is the girl in Zhao's family." The queen mother spoke kindly to them, but to Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yao. He didn't pay much attention to it, although he didn't deliberately show them their faces, but they could be detected by a comparison between the two sides.

After that, Queen Mother Yan kept talking with Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu, asking them about the capital. The old concubine has been married to Yanbei for decades, and still misses her hometown, so the three of them are also very topical.

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin were sitting around drinking tea, and they couldn't talk.

However, Ren Yaoqi felt that being cold is better than making things difficult. Today, the old princess did not at least treat her in front of Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu. She should actually be content.

After finally sitting and listening to the old princess's conversation, the princess finally sent someone over to ask them to eat.

The old princess said: "I have a good time with these two girls. Go back and tell the princess that I will leave them to eat in the Shouan Hall."

The maid sent by the princess couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinglin.

The old princess noticed, and immediately sneered: "What? I can't keep a guest anymore?"

Xiao Jinglin waved her hand to let the maid go down, and then said to the old princess: "Of course, you have the final say."

The old princess glanced at her, then looked at Ren Yaoqi, her heart became uncomfortable, and she was a little unhappy: "Yan Yatou and Zhao Yatou stay, you can go to the princess to have a meal."

Xiao Jinglin stood up and took Ren Yaoqi to salute: "Yes, grandmother." The gesture was very obedient.

"After the meal, I'll let someone come over to pick you up." Xiao Jinglin nodded to Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu again.

Yan Ningshuang looked at them and then at the old princess, smiling slightly.

Ren Yaoqi also smiled and nodded at them, and then left the Shou'an Hall with Xiao Jinglin.

The two returned to Jiuyang Temple, and the princess didn't say anything when seeing them both came back, and the three sat together to have a meal.

After finishing the meal, the princess sent someone to pick Yan and Zhao back.

After that, both Yan and Zhao wanted to leave and return to the annex. Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to leave together, but was stopped by the princess. After Yan and Zhao left, the princess asked Mother Xin to bring Leshan and Leshui.

"I asked Mother Xin to take these two maids herself, so I will go back with you first. There are many people in Yunyang city these days, and there are many things, and it will be the Duanyang Festival in a few days. It is more convenient for a few people."

Leshan and Le Shui are now wearing the clothes of a maidservant in the palace, looking very energetic.

Ren Yaoqi didn't expect Xiao Jingxi to put the person in front of the princess to tune|instruct, and suddenly his face turned red.

The princess seemed to understand what she was thinking, and patted her hand: "The rules are for outsiders. Naturally, the family is convenient and how to come."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yaoqi was very grateful to the princess.

Therefore, when he returned, Ren Yaoqi had two maids, Leshan and Leshui.

Xiao Jinglin still sent Ren Yaoqi into the carriage before returning. The carriage slowly drove out from the Yanbei Palace. When it reached the outer hall, Ren Yaoqi glanced out through the wind-blown car curtain, and then couldn't help but Stunned.

She opened the car curtain a little and glanced a little further away.

Yan Ningshuang, who had already left before, didn't know why she hadn't left yet, she was standing in a small pavilion in the outer hall of the palace and talking, while Xiao Jingxi was standing opposite her. Xiao Jingxi should have just returned from the outside, and his cloak has not yet taken off.

Ren Yaoqi's hand paused, and she lowered the curtain before Xiao Jingxi turned her head.

Several maids glanced at each other, then lowered their heads silently.

Apple was silent for a moment, then moved over to pour Ren Yaoqi a cup of tea, and said awkwardly: "Miss, warm yourself with a cup of tea and water."

Ren Yaoqi took it, bowed his head and took a sip, raised his head and looked at a few maids eagerly at him, and couldn't help being a little amused: "What are you looking at me for?"

Leshan and Le Shui looked at each other, and Leshan said, "Miss, don't be angry, maybe it's not what you saw."

Han Jiageng, comforting the aggrieved children, as evidenced by Jun Chang, the author loves you...
