Chapter 442: Thrilling
The will said that the clan girl who had made a marriage contract with Xiao Jingyue suddenly died, so the queen mother pointed out another family matter to Xiao Jingyue, and it was Yan Ningshuang, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, who was pointed to Xiao Jingyue.
This will is made on the face and shown to the world. Secretly, the Queen Mother also sent a secret decree to the Yanbei Palace, and the content of this secret decree was not very polite, the Queen Mother expressed 120,000 indignation at Xiao Jingyue for daring to flirt with the Yan family's daughter, and severely criticized the King of Yanbei and the princess, blaming them for not restraining the children of the Xiao family, and actually letting this kind of thing happen in the Yanbei Palace.
The Queen Mother stated in her will that it was really helpless to point out Yan Ningshuang to Xiao Jingyue, and she and the Yan family were reluctant. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and there is no other way than to let Yan Ningshuang marry Xiao Jingyue, after all, Yan Ningshuang's identity is still a little special, and the Queen Mother can't watch her niece and granddaughter of her mother's family be innocent and have no way out. The atmosphere in Kyoto and Jiangnan is not as open as Yanbei, and people like Yan Ningshuang have been taken advantage of by a man and let so many people bump into him, and there is no way to find a good in-law in the future.
In the end, the queen mother said in a secret decree that Yan Ningshuang was wronged by marrying into the Xiao family like this, and she hoped that the Yanbei Royal Mansion would treat her niece and granddaughter well, otherwise she and the Yan family would not give up.
And Yan Ningshuang will be escorted back to Yanbei again soon after to marry Xiao Jingyue.
Xiao Jingyue himself just sneered after receiving this will, he didn't take it seriously at all who his wife was, whether it was Yan Ningshuang or someone from the Zhao family had no effect on him. Xiao Jingyue's father, Xiao Heng, taught him a hard lesson, and almost moved the family law, but he was dissuaded by the Su family after the most discouragement.
It's August in the blink of an eye, and this period of time is calm and busy for Ren Yao.
The ladies from the capital have been honestly staying in the courtyard of Yanbei Wangfu since they were assigned to marriage, probably because they are not popular among the many families in Yanbei, so they don't even go out of the door of the courtyard for a while, so naturally no one can go out of the door.
Ren Yao's wedding date is in September, so she rarely goes out since the daughter banquet. Although there are not too many things that she needs to complete by herself, there are also many things that she needs to personally participate in or decide, and she always feels that she is busy every day and seems to have done nothing, but it is over.
On this day, Ren Yaoqi was trying on the wedding dresses and dresses that the princess asked her to send her in her room. Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi's wedding dresses were all made by Yanbei Wangfu, stacked layer by layer, which looked very cumbersome and heavy, and her crown was much heavier than that of ordinary brides.
Although it is not the height of summer at this time, Yanbei is still very hot for a while, and Ren Yaoqi only tried the second set, and a dense layer of sweat appeared on his face. But she never shouted that she was tired, nor did she say that she wanted to rest. Mama Xin, who was sent by the princess, said, "Miss Ren, why don't you rest first and try again?" There are also two sets of dresses, and it's still early, so it's okay for us to go home later. ”
Ren Yaoqi nodded when she heard this, asked the maids to help her take off the crown on her head, and said with a smile: "I don't usually put ice basins in my room, so let you accompany me here to get heated." Why don't you go to the flower hall in front of you for a while, and I'll have some chilled sour plum soup ready. ”
Mama Xin hurriedly said, "Look at what you said, where can't the slaves and maids stand this bit of heat?" The hottest part of the year is over. Moreover, the slaves and maidservants have come today to serve you on the orders of the princess. Take a break. Let's move on. Mama Xin refused to go to the flower hall to rest, and she had to watch Ren Yaoqi try on all the dresses without any problems.
Ren Yaoqi no longer persuaded him, and only asked people to send the chilled sour plum soup over to Mama Xin and the others to quench their thirst.
Ren Yaoqi was chatting with Mama Xin without saying a word while drinking tea, when she suddenly heard someone making noise outside. The movement is not small.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Apple. Apple immediately retreated, but after a while, she came back, and hurriedly reported in front of everyone: "Miss, it was the Lei family who sent someone!" The eldest lady is about to give birth. The eldest aunt didn't worry about letting people come and pick up his wife. ”
When Ren Yaoqi heard this, he immediately put down the tea bowl in his hand, with some joy and worry on his face: "Sister is going to give birth?" Didn't you say you would have to wait a few days? What about the people of the Lei family? ”
Apple said, "It's Parsley, she's in the wife's house right now." The wife is now preparing to go out to Lei's house. ”
Ren Yaoqi stood up when she heard this, she glanced at Mama Xin and was about to say something, Mama Xin already smiled understandingly: "Yo, Miss Ren's production is a big deal, Miss Why don't you go and meet the people of the Lei family first?" These wedding dresses have been made anyway, even if they have to be modified, it won't take long, it's the same whether you try it today or tomorrow, or the slaves and maids should go home first. ”
Ren Yaochi nodded apologetically, and sent Mama Xin and the others from Yanbei Wangfu out,
As soon as they went out, they heard the lively and lively courtyard, everyone was smiling, and even Mama Zhou, who had always been calm, stood under the veranda and ordered a few maids to prepare things.
Mama Xin couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene, people who were grandmothers or grandmothers for the first time were like this, Ren Yaohua had children all her life, and the Li family's generation was also a step higher.
However, before leaving, Mama Xin still told Ren Yaoqi: "Miss, you can't go into the delivery room and it won't help much, just stay at home today and listen to the good news." ”
Although Ren Yao is not getting married today, the wedding date is approaching, and some high-ranking families are particular about these rules. If Ren Yaoqi went to the Lei family recklessly, not only would it be bad for the child, but she would also be bumped into herself. Mama Xin was afraid that the Li family was still young, and Ren Yaoqi didn't understand these taboos, so she made a special mention of it.
Ren Yaoqi nodded when he heard this: "I know the truth, Mama." I don't go to Lei's house, I just ask my sister's maid. ”
Mama Xin was relieved to take people away.
Ren Yaoqi was about to go to Li's room, but saw that he had immediately hurriedly come out of his room, and Xiangqin was following Li while explaining Ren Yaohua's situation. The Li family must have wanted to go to Ren Yaohua in a hurry, and he was about to leave after changing into a pair of clothes to go out.
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly greeted him, and asked, "Why is it today?" I remember the last time I saw it, it was going to be a few days. ”
Li Shi said as he hurriedly walked out with the people: "It is possible to be a few days in advance or a few days late, and when I gave birth to you, it was two days earlier than expected. ”
It's just that after Li said this, Ren Yaoqi saw Xiangqin pouting behind Li, Ren Yaoqi's heart moved, and she was about to ask her, but Xiangqin had already recovered her low-eyed and pleasing appearance, but after the most abrupt she glanced at Ren Yaoqi, how did the little eyes look like they wanted to talk.
Ren Yao saw that she could still be weird, but she was relieved, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Ren Yaochi sent the Li family out of the second gate, and the Li family didn't let Ren Yaoqi follow: "Don't go, Mama Zhou and I just go over and guard." ”
Ren Yaochi nodded in response: "If there is anything, you can send someone back to talk to me." ”
Li Shi walked away as he responded.
After Li and Mama 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 the Li family sent someone back once, saying that there was nothing to reassure Ren Yaoqi, but it would take some time for the child to come out.
Ren Shimin also came back from the academy, although he didn't say anything, but he was still concerned about the birth of his first grandson.
In the evening, the Li family had not come back and did not send anyone back, and Ren Yaoqi was a little worried.
She was waiting anxiously at home, and when she was about to send someone to Lei's house to inquire, Li's maid Xi'er came back in a hurry, probably because she was running too quickly, the sweat on Xi'er's face when she came in fainted the rouge on her face, and as soon as she saw that Ren Yaoqi didn't even have time to salute, she said anxiously: "Miss, quickly send someone to Yanbei Wangfu to ask for a midwife surnamed Gong." ”
When Ren Yaoqi heard this, she couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart, and hurriedly got up and asked, "But what's going on with my sister?" ”
Xi'er was about to cry: "The midwife said that the eldest lady's fetus was dystocia, and the child's fetal position was not correct, and it was on the feet down. Miss, you go to Yanbei Wangfu to ask the princess, I heard that there is a stable woman surnamed Gong in Yanbei Wangfu who is very powerful, even if the fetal position is not correct, she can also correct it, and the princess gave birth to her back then. It's just that Mama Gong is the princess's person, and she never delivers babies to outsiders, and she is now older. If you go to ask the princess, the princess will definitely agree to send Mama Gong to deliver the eldest lady, young lady, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late. ”
Ren Yaoqi was startled, and her legs were a little weak: "What's late?" So serious? ”
Xi'er said: "If it's late, I'm afraid the child won't be able to save it." The eldest lady is stubborn, and she has to keep the child! ”
Ren Yaoqi understood as soon as she heard this, presumably it was Wen Po who saw Ren Yaohua's dystocia and asked whether she wanted to protect the adult or the child, Ren Yaohua was born as a mother, so she naturally wanted the child to survive.
Ren Yaoqi didn't have time to think too much, so he took Xi'er out without saying anything, and he didn't have time to let people prepare the carriage again, so he got into the Lei family's car and went to Yanbei Palace.
However, before she got into the carriage, she sent Leshan beside her to the Lei family and instructed her: "No matter what, keep the child!" If my sister is still 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. (To be continued......)
