When the food was in front of her, Ren Yaochi realized that she was really hungry, and she seriously ate two bowls of porridge, a basket of steamed dumplings, a half spring rolls, and some side dishes.

Just feeling a little full, Xiao Jingxi came back.

"Full?" Xiao Jingxi sat down beside Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaochi nodded, and then Xiao Jingxi took Ren Yaoqi's dishes and chopsticks, picked up the half of the leftover spring rolls on her plate and ate them.

Mulberry, who was waiting beside him, hurriedly said, "The slave maid asked the kitchen to send some more food." ”

Xiao Jingxi raised his head and smiled: "No need, I'll go out later, these on the table are enough for me to eat." ”

Ren Yaochi didn't say anything, let the mulberry and the others retreat, and then served Xiao Jingxi a bowl of porridge, where he sat and watched him eat, while serving him vegetables.

It wasn't until Xiao Jingxi put down the chopsticks in his hand that Ren Yaochi called the maid to come up and remove the table.

After eating, Xiao Jingxi was not busy leaving immediately, but helped Ren Yaochi to sit down on the Nankang, and the two snuggled together silently, and no one spoke.

"How's it going out there?" Ren Yaochi leaned into Xiao Jingxi's arms and asked softly, breaking the warm silence in the room.

"Xiao Heng's people have been cleaned up, and the army outside the city has also retreated, don't worry, it's all right." Xiao Jingxi stroked Ren Yaoqi's cold and smooth hair and said softly.

"You sent a message to the palace in the river?" Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and asked.

Ren Yaoqi paused, nodded and said, "I entered your study, checked your documents, and guessed that there might be a big move on the imperial court's side, so ...... I don't know if I did it right, I'm sorry, but this time I trespassed. ”

Xiao Jingxi gently knocked Ren Yaoqi's head and said with a smile: "Stupid words! Who said you trespassed? I allowed you to enter my study, and you can go to this Yanbei Mansion wherever I can go. What's more, this time thanks to your quick response. If it weren't for the large-scale and frequent mobilization of the King of the River's men and horses to deter those people in the south, why would there be so many people and horses besieging Yunyang City today? You've done a great job. The people under my command all said that I had no last resort, and I didn't need to send a single soldier to contain most of the troops in the south. Solved the dilemma of Yanbei. I really don't have the shame to tell them, not because I am so powerful, but simply because I am blessed to marry a very powerful lady. ”

I heard the banter in Xiao Jingxi's words. Ren Yaochi couldn't help but laugh, and finally sighed: "I can't ask my grandfather to blatantly send troops to Yanbei, and even in order to avoid being criticized for besieging Wei to save Zhao, it is not useful, so I can only use this trick of deterrence." Thanks to the gentleness of those people in the south who have stayed in the country for a long time, their gall has been corroded. ”

No matter how close the relationship between Yanbei Wangfu and Hezhong Wangfu is, it is not easy for Hezhong Wangfu to send troops to Yanbei, which is a taboo thing. If the Hezhong Wangfu really sent people to surround the capital in order to understand the danger of Yanbei, in the eyes of the world, it would be the collusion between the Yanbei Wangfu and the Hezhong Wangfu, and the imperial court would become famous. Yanbei Wangfu and Hezhong Wangfu have the upper hand in public opinion, and maybe they will give the Liao people a chance.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Ren Yaoqi did not ask the Hezhong Mansion to send troops to help, but asked the Hezhong Mansion to make frequent moves to mobilize people and horses. The imperial court has always been wary of the Hezhong Palace, a tiger that is temporarily lying at its feet and may jump up at any time to threaten its life. Therefore, he did not dare to send all the men and horses to Yanbei in a desperate gamble.

"What's going on in Ningxia?" Ren Yaoqi asked again.

Xiao Jingxi's face showed a little surprise when he heard this: "Ningxia? What happened to Ningxia? ”

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but roll his eyes, looked at him and said, "Didn't you go to Ningxia to settle the affairs of the Zeng family during the time you 'disappeared'?" ”

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help laughing, and sighed half-truthfully: "Auntie, if you are a man...... body"

Ren Yaoqi stopped talking when he heard Xiao Jingxi say this, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What if I am a man?" ”

Xiao Jingxi pretended to be worried, his face was full of embarrassment: "No, if you are a man, I have to marry you into the door." It's just that it's harder......"

Ren Yaoqi's face turned red and glared at him: "Nonsense." Although he said that, it was undeniable that Ren Yaoqi was still happy in his heart.

Xiao Jingxi held her face and turned her head, kissed her on the cheek, and smiled: "I mean really." It's also fortunate that you are a daughter, otherwise the world would have scolded me for being ridiculous. ”

Ren Yaoqi put the back of his hand on his face, and said uncomfortably: "What is going on with the Zeng family now?" ”

Xiao Jingxi saw that she was shy, so he stopped teasing her, and continued to hug her and said, "Zeng family...... Zeng Tong colluded with the Liao people to set up an ambush and attack the second son of Yanbei Wangfu, and the evidence is conclusive. So I'm afraid he can't do it anymore. ”

Ren Yaochi frowned: "Is it really related to the Zeng family that you were attacked in Wuzhou?" ”

Xiao Jingxi smiled absentmindedly when he heard this: "It doesn't matter if it's closed or not, but it's true that the Zeng family wants to take advantage of the chaos to seize power, but in the end it didn't get its wish." After this incident, the Di family has gained momentum in Ningxia, and it will not take long to replace the Wu family. The northwest is stable, and the backyard of Yanbei is also stable. ”

Ren Yaoqi listened to Xiao Jingxi's words easily, but he also knew that things were definitely not so simple. Although the place in Ningxia is not big, but the forces of all parties are very complicated, Xiao Jingxi took this opportunity to attack the Zeng family and support the Di family to ascend to the throne, which must have been measured many times.

"Where are Zeng Yan's father and son now?"

The Zeng family has always been a thorn in Ren Yaoqi's heart, and she knows better than anyone that against people like Zeng Tong and Zeng Kui, either don't fight, or if you want to beat, you have to beat them to death with a stick, otherwise there will be endless troubles. So although he heard that Zeng's father and son had lost power in Ningxia, Ren Yaochi still didn't dare to take it lightly.

Xiao Jingxi, who had obviously fought with the Zeng family several times, also understood this truth, and said to Ren Yaochi with a soothing smile when he heard this: "This time I cut off most of the Zeng family's wings, and handed over the rest to the Di family to deal with the aftermath, after all, it is a matter of Ningxia, and I don't want to blatantly stretch out my hand." But don't worry, the Zeng family father and son are now grasshoppers after the autumn, and it won't be long before they jump. ”

Ren Yaoqi saw that Xiao Jingxi was so determined, and his heart was a lot more stable: "What about Mrs. Wu?" ”

Ren Yaochi 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 the Xiao family's control of Ningxia, it is difficult for her to set off waves in Ningxia again.

Although King Yanbei does not have much brother-sister affection for Xiao Wei, he always has a bit of brother-sister friendship, Ren Yaoqi heard the princess mention it before, the prince wanted to take Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu back to Yanbei Wangfu to accompany the old princess, and the old princess also mentioned it many times. But now that the old princess has died in the hands of Xiao Heng, if Xiao Wei's mother and daughter come back, Yanbei Wangfu is afraid that it will not be stable.

Yu Private, Ren Yaoqi is reluctant to Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu to come back, the mother and daughter are too capable of making trouble, and their hearts are not right.

Xiao Jingxi seemed to be able 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 little son of the Wu family is still young, he has a heavy responsibility, how can there be no elders around to take care of him? ”

Ren Yaochi was stunned, and then remembered that the son of Mrs. Wu that Xiao Jingxi said was the widow of Wu Xiaohe's Di family, and couldn't help but laugh, looking at the cunning man beside him and said, "You handed over Mrs. Wu to the Di family?" You're not bad! ”

Xiao Jingxi pinched Ren Yaoqi's face, and said unhappily: "Lady, you can't talk nonsense, you are a husband with a high level of talent, good looks, and you can meet but not ask for a good person, what's the bad?" ”

Ren Yaoqi: "......"

"Everyone has everyone's position, if you stand wrong, it will be messed up, since Mrs. Wu has married to the Wu family, then she is a member of the Wu family, marrying and obeying her husband, and her husband and her son are dead, this is the rule she should abide by. As for Wu Yiyu, she is still the young lady of the Zeng family, and when one day the Zeng father and son are gone, the place where she should return is also her mother's house instead of her uncle's house. Wu Yiyu's maiden family is naturally her younger brother Wu family's little son.

Xiao Jingxi's tone was light but resolute when he said these words.

People like Xiao Jingxi naturally understand that not all cats and dogs can pick them up in their backyards. King Yanbei cares about the love of his brother and sister, but he doesn't need to care, his heart is more ruthless than King Yanbei. But Xiao Jingxi's ruthlessness reassured those close to him.

The husband and wife were talking here, and Apple came in to report that the princess had come to invite Xiao Jingxi to come over.

Xiao Jingxi said to Ren Yaoqi: "Mother should be looking for me for the funeral of the old princess, I will go to Jiuyang Palace." ”

The body of the old princess has been sent back to the Yanbei Palace, and the princess has ordered someone to build a mourning hall. The princess asked Ren Yaoqi Zhaoning Hall to stay and not go out, because the old princess was not dying, and the princess was afraid of bumping into the child in Ren Yaoqi's belly, of course, the princess would not say this kind of thing clearly, and only said that Ren Yaoqi was frightened.

Ren Yaoqi got up and sent Xiao Jingxi out.

"Is Jing Lin coming back too?"

Originally, Xiao Jinglin would not come back so soon, but the old princess died, and she, as a granddaughter, was going to come back for the funeral.

Xiao Jingxi nodded: "I have already gone to the letter, Jinglin will come back in a few days." Go back, it's windy outside today, don't go out. ”

Ren Yaoqi didn't insist on going out to see her off anymore when she heard this, and after Xiao Jingxi left, she turned around and came back. After sleeping before, Ren Yaoqi was still in good spirits, thinking that he was going to the study to find an idle book for recreation, while waiting for Xiao Jingxi to come back, when he walked to the study, he heard two little maids talking in a whisper.

“…… The princess sent Dr. Zhang, Dr. Li, and Dr. Gu to the Yun family, but she was too seriously injured, and she didn't know if she could be saved or not. ”

"But we must save it, otherwise our Yanbei will lose the fierce general of Yun Er Gongzi."
