In addition to being puzzled by King Yanbei's decision, the world is also secretly observing the attitude of Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Xiao family. As we all know, although Xiao Ergongzi is not in good health, when the king of Yanbei is not in Yunyang City, it is basically this prince who is presiding over the big and small things in Yanbei, and now the king of Yanbei has quietly given the position of the prince to the eldest grandson who is far away in the capital, can this second son with real power in his hands be convinced? Many people in Yanbei began to worry that there would be disagreement between the father and son of the king of Yanbei because of this matter.

Some people also began to suspect that King Yanbei made this decision is really helpless, Xiao Ergongzi's physical condition may not be good, in order to avoid a passive situation, Yanbei King can only make a fuss about the eldest grandson first, otherwise once Xiao Ergongzi has an accident, Yanbei Wang's cousin Xiao Heng's side may take this opportunity to rise, than let Xiao Heng's side take advantage of the loophole, it is of course more in line with the interests to set up his own grandson as the son of the world earlier.

And in the next period of time, Xiao Ergongzi really showed up less in front of people. Although Xiao Jingxi rarely appears in everyone's sight on weekdays, he usually participates in some important political affairs in Yanbei, even if he does not come forward in person, the relevant official documents will pass through his hands. However, since the king of Yanbei asked for Xiao Weiyong to be the prince, Xiao Jingxi almost disappeared in Yanbei, and even the henchmen and important ministers of the Yanbei palace did not have a chance to see him again.

So more and more people believe that Xiao Ergongzi is seriously ill.

However, as for Xiao Jingxi's condition, Yanbei Wangfu has always been secretive. King Yanbei's face was also very unsightly for a while, so ordinary people didn't dare to listen to his mouth, and as for the inside of Yanbei Palace, they couldn't find anything. It is only known that Xiao Jingxi seems to have been staying in his courtyard and not going out much, although there are also doctors in and out of Zhaoning Palace. However, when Xiao Ergongzi usually has nothing to do, he will ask for a pulse once every two or three days, and the smell of medicine in the yard is constant.

Outside, there are many conjectures about Yanbei Wangfu and Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Ergongzi himself has been very relaxed and comfortable these days, and at this time he and Ren Yaoqi are in the study to view the calligraphy and paintings he has collected over the years.

Xiao Ergongzi is a person with a wide range of hobbies, although calligraphy and painting are not the greatest interest among his many hobbies, but his collection is a lot, at least compared to Master Ren, a person who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, the treasures in his hands are not inferior.

Ren Yaoqi took out the calligraphy and paintings collected by Xiao Jingxi and appreciated them one by one, and couldn't help but marvel from time to time.

Xiao Jingxi sat next to Ren Yaoqi and looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile. Ren Yao looks at paintings, he looks at people.

Since the two got married. Because Yanbei is in an eventful autumn, Xiao Jingxi is very busy every day, and this is the first time that the two have had such a lot of time to spend leisurely together after they became husband and wife.

Ren Yaoqi took out a painting and exclaimed: "You actually have a collection of Tang Miao's ladies here!" My father's two favorite figure painters when he was young were Jiang Yuanyi and Tang Miao. ”

Compared with Jiang Yuanyi, Tang Miao's paintings are even more difficult to get. First of all, because the era in which Tang Miao lived was far away from them, and secondly, there were very few works left by this master. Ren Shimin once spent several years asking people to find Tang Miao's painting at any cost, but unfortunately only found a broken one after the worst, only half of it was left, and even wanting to repair it became a problem.

Xiao Jingxi hugged Ren Yaoqi's waist from behind. He rested his chin on her shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm worried about what gift my father-in-law will give him on his birthday, so I'll give this painting." ”

Ren Yaoqi's shoulders hurt a little and itched. couldn't help but dodge, and smiled while looking back: "Well, he's definitely going to like it." “

Xiao Jingxi saw her turn around. couldn't help but kiss her lips lightly, and Ren Yaochi leaned on his arms. Slightly tilted his head to the top of his perfect side face, the two of them smelled each other compared to each other. He didn't speak for a while, but the atmosphere in the study was very sweet.

"My father-in-law likes it, but what about me?" Xiao Jingxi rubbed the tip of Ren Yaoqi's nose and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Ren Yaochi blinked.

Xiao Jingxi kissed her and said aggrievedly: "I didn't receive your gift on my birthday, how can I compensate me?" ”

Ren Yaochi was stunned: "Hasn't your birthday already passed?" "When the two of them were not married.

Xiao Jingxi didn't speak, just looked at Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't stand his gaze the most, although Xiao Jingxi was likely to pretend on purpose, but she still compromised: "Then what do you want?" ”

Xiao Jingxi had a smile on his face, and he dazzled Ren Yaoqi's eyes. He thought about it, and then whispered a few more words in Ren Yaoqi's ear.

Ren Yaoqi's face turned uncontrollably red when he heard this, glared at Xiao Jingxi angrily, and turned his head to ignore him.

Xiao Jingxi saw that Ren Yaoqi's attention was attracted by those paintings again, so he rubbed the tip of his nose against her neck, and asked reluctantly, "Okay?" Okay? ”

Ren Yaoqi was annoyed by him, raised his hand and pushed him, blushing and said angrily: "No! What kind of mess you think about every day! ”

Xiao Jingxi was not annoyed when she heard this, she just looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help but look at Ren Yaoqi too much.

After the worst, Xiao Jingxi sighed: "Okay, if it doesn't work, forget it." So do I want the other one? ”

Ren Yaochi glanced at him: "Which one?" If Xiao Jingxi is no longer serious, Ren Yaochi decides to get up and leave.

Xiao Jingxi seemed to see what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, wrapped his hand around her waist, and said with a smile: "Don't you know how to draw?" Draw me one. ”

Ren Yaochi thought that this would be easy to do, so he nodded: "Okay, what to draw?" ”

Xiao Jingxi blinked, and then said, "Just draw me." ”

Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this, and said with some hesitation: "I rarely draw figures. "And...... Although she has always been very confident in her painting skills, she is not confident that she can paint Xiao Jingxi's charm.

Xiao Jingxi said: "It's okay, I just want to see me in your eyes." ”

Ren Yaoqi was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and felt that Xiao Jingxi must be teasing her again, but when she was about to get angry, she saw that Xiao Jingxi's ears were also a little red, although he still looked calm and laughing. I don't know why, Ren Yaochi felt that Xiao Jingxi was very cute like this, so she swallowed the rejection in her mouth and nodded in response.

Xiao Jingxi smiled at her, and then pulled her up, Xiao Jingxi was about to polish Ren Yaoqi's ink, Tongxi came in: "Childe, I wish you a good return." ”

Ren Yaoqi's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he wished Ruomei back? She looked at Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "People are coming?" ”

Tongxi looked at Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi, rolled his eyes, and took the initiative to say: "I'm here, but I've been out with Master Mu for a long time, why don't you let him come back in an hour?" ”

Xiao Jingxi was about to agree, but Ren Yaoqi gently tugged at his sleeve and took the initiative to say, "I'm a little tired, go back and rest first." "Zhu Ruomei has been gone for a few months, and there must be something important to report to Xiao Jingxi when she comes back at this time, Ren Yaoqi doesn't want to delay Xiao Jingxi's business.

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought about it, and still smiled and bowed: "Okay, I'll go over to eat with you when I see him." ”

Ren Yaochi nodded and left the study.

After Ren Yaoqi came out of the study, he went to the Jiuyang Palace.

In the Jiuyang Palace, the princess was receiving several ladies who were born in the face, and when Ren Yaoqi entered, those ladies hurriedly got up and saluted.

The princess beckoned Ren Yaoqi to her side and asked softly, "Have you drunk the medicine?" ”

Ren Yaochi felt that although the ladies did not deliberately look this way, their attention was on the conversation between her and the princess.

Ren Yaochi nodded lightly and gave a vague "um".

The princess sighed softly, sat her down beside her, and spoke to the ladies again.

Ren Yaochi listened carefully for a while, and found that although those ladies did not blatantly inquire about the affairs of the prince of Yanbei, they would still knock on the side to inquire about the news in the interval between conversations, and the princesses sent them back one by one.

After the ladies said goodbye and left, Ren Yaochi asked, "Are these people from Shunzhou?" She could tell they were speaking with a Shunzhou accent.

The princess nodded, and pressed her eyebrows a little tiredly: "Well, there are a lot of people who have come to Yunyang City these days. ”

Ren Yaoqi also knew that Xiao Jingxi was idle now, but the princess was a lot busier this time. She got up and walked to the side of the princess: "Mother, I'll press it for you." ”

Seeing that the princess did not object, Ren Yaochi massaged several acupuncture points on her head that could relieve fatigue.

When the princess was more comfortable, he patted her hand gently: "Okay, don't have sore hands for a while, come and sit down." ”

Ren Yaochi pressed it again, and then sat down beside the princess.

The princess glanced at her with a smile: "Who did you learn this hand from?" It's really useful. ”

Ren Yaochi smiled: "When I was at home, I learned it from my mother." ”

The princess was a little surprised when she heard this, as if she didn't expect the Li family to serve people like this.

Ren Yaochi smiled and didn't explain, her mother has a soft temperament but still has some of the arrogance of the Li royal family, and she naturally disdains to learn the things of serving people, but there is an exception, that is, as long as her father needs it, she will learn it, and she will learn it very well.

The princess didn't ask much, she took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said, "The people who have entered the mansion in the past few days are basically here for the matter of the new prince. ”

Ren Yaoqi was not surprised when he heard this.

Every time there is an alternation of power, it is when the people below stand in line, although the situation in Yanbei is relatively good, there are still some people who can't sit still, but what can't sit still are some families who are far away from the center of power, at least the big families in Yunyang City and some of the top families in other states have stopped recently, and there is no movement.

Originally, because I was going to go far away on the 3rd of this month, the return date was undecided, and I wanted to save some manuscripts in advance, but I didn't save them.
