After reading the letter, Rong Shi put it on the kang table, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Did Xiao Jingxi ask Princess Yanbei to hand it over to you?" ”

Ren Yaochi sensed the displeasure in Rong's words, and was about to say something, but Rong's already frowned and said: "I thought that although Xiao Jingxi was not very old, he was calm and credible in doing things, but I didn't want to, but it turned out that I overestimated him. ”

Ren Yaochi heard the displeasure in Rong's words, afraid that she would blame Xiao Jingxi, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother, don't be angry, I actually blame me for this, Xiao Ergongzi, he has helped me a lot on weekdays, and he is familiar with me, so he asked me to send a letter this time, in fact, ......"

Rong Shi frowned more and more, "You mean you are very close to him?" ”

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, how to answer this? It must be a lie to say that she is not close, but she can't say that she is an unmarried woman and an unmarried man walking closer.

Rong couldn't help but think thoughtfully when he looked at Ren Yaoqi's expression.

Ren Yaoqi was thinking about how to explain the involvement between himself and Xiao Jingxi, but he heard Rong Shi say indifferently: "Xiao Jingxi is missing, what does this have to do with our dedication to the palace?" You go back and tell Princess Yanbei that we can't help anything, as for the person Xiao Jingxi mentioned in his heart, we don't know who Lu Dao is. ”

Rong's answer was a little unexpected for Ren Yaoqi, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she smiled bitterly and responded: "I know what to say, grandmother, this time I was careless, and I caused trouble to you and grandfather, I will be careful next time." ”

Maybe the terms of the agreement between Xiao Jingxi and Xian Wangfu have not been reached, or maybe Xian Wangfu has repented now for some considerations, but these are not things that Ren Yaoqi can interfere with. Offering the palace has the position and consideration of offering the palace, and she can't insist on changing her mind for the sake of her own selfishness.

And she didn't know anything about the whole matter, even if she wanted to promote the cooperation between the Xian Wangfu and the Yanbei Wangfu, she couldn't say anything meaningful.

But despite this, Ren Yaochi was still a little sad. What she is worried about is that Xian Wangfu is unwilling to help Xiao Jingxi now, and whether Xiao Jingxi can come back safely.

If Xiao Jingxi can't come back, then ......

Maybe she should ask Xiao Jingxi and Xian Wangfu what they agreed on before, and see if she can find a way to remedy it? After all, if it is impossible for King Xian's side to help, Yanbei Wangfu is not without people.

Thinking like this, Ren Yaoqi's mind also settled down, but she didn't know if the Rong clan was willing to tell her. If Rong doesn't say it, will she think of any way to persuade her?

Rong Shi saw the change in Ren Yaoqi's expression, but he didn't speak, only lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then looked at the edge of the bowl and didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.

Ren Yaoqi was thinking about his words. wanted to speak, but heard Li Gan's voice outside: "Who is inside?" ”

Chu Chu replied: "Back to the master, it was Miss Ren who came and was talking with the old lady in the house." ”

Li Gan let out an "um", and then the footsteps got closer and closer to here, and walked in.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Qian to appear by the curtain.

Ren Yaoqi hurriedly got up and saluted: "Grandfather." ”

Li Qian nodded: "Yao Ji is here, Rong's, let the cook roast all those wild foods for her to taste." ”

Rong got up. After Li Gan sat down on the kang, he sat down with Ren Yaoqi, and said with a smile: "The concubine body has already been ordered." ”

Li Qian nodded, and then he saw the letter on the kang table, and he looked at Rong and Ren Yaoqi. Then he reached out and picked up the letter, opened it steadily, and read it.

Ren Yaochi didn't think much about it, thinking that Li Gan would refuse Xiao Jingxi's request like the Rong family, but he didn't want to hear Li Qianhu suspiciously: "Why did the Xiao family kid come to the letter at this time, didn't the person already send it to him?" Hasn't it arrived yet? ”

Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this. looked up at Li Gan inexplicably: "Grandfather, do you mean that you have already lent him the person he borrowed from you?" ”

Li Qian nodded, glanced at Ren Yaoqi and then looked at Rong: "Didn't she bring this letter?" You didn't tell her? ”

Ren Yaochi also looked at Rong.

Rong's face did not change and smiled: "Oh." As soon as the concubine was about to speak, you came in. ”

Ren Yaoqi: "......"

Rong glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said meaningfully: "The concubine is just curious why he handed over this letter to the princess and asked the princess to send it to Yaoqi." ”

Ren Yaochi was depressed, it turned out that after Rong saw the letter, he knew that she had come for nothing, so the words he said later were just to test her, and if she didn't want her to care, she was chaotic, and because Rong was her closest relative and had no defense, she didn't see the flaw, not only defended Xiao Jingxi, but also racked her brains to probe some wind from Rong's here, now in retrospect, Ren Yaochi felt that she was really stupid, and Ren Yaoqi hadn't experienced this frustration for a long time.

Li Gan also glanced at Ren Yaoqi when he heard this, then picked up the letter and read it again, this time Li Gan frowned when he looked at it, and then he turned his face and asked Ren Yaoqi: "This is what he handed over to the princess and asked the princess to give it to you?" ”

Ren Yaoqi nodded honestly, she understands now, no matter how smart she thinks she is, with the Rong family here, her cleverness can only be regarded as cleverness, and if she is not careful, she will be mistaken by that little cleverness.

Li Gan touched his beard and thought about it, and just when Ren Yaochi thought he would say something, he put down the letter and said, "Rong, I've been thinking about it all morning, and the wild goose that has been domesticated for a long time has also been killed and steamed." ”

Ren Yaoqi: "......"

Rong replied good-naturedly: "There is already a dish of angelica chicken soup today, so let's let Yihong raise the wild geese first." ”

Wild geese and chickens...... Is there any necessary connection?

Li Gan thought for a while, nodded steadily, and said, "Well, it's all birds, so let's leave it at that." ”

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but fall down.

"You guys chat, I'm going to take a walk around the yard, and I've just used a lot of snacks to eliminate food." Li Qian patted the hem of his clothes and got up.

Rong Shi and Ren Yaoqi hurriedly got up and watched him go out.

After Li Qian left, Ren Yaoqi and Rong Shifu sat down again, and Rong Shi said, "What else do you want to ask?" ”

According to common sense, Ren Yaochi should blush and be embarrassed, and then say that he didn't want to know anything about the relationship, but Ren Yaoqi nodded generously and said: "Yes, grandmother, I want to ask if there has been any agreement between Xian Wangfu and Xiao Ergongzi, of course, if it is really inconvenient to say, you can also be me without asking." ”

Rong couldn't help but glance at Ren Yaoqi, and then smiled: "Since he can trust you as an outsider, what can't we say about being born as close relatives." You said before that Xiao Jingxi disappeared in Jinju? The area of the river where Jinju is located is the most retreat left to us by Wan Guifei in the past. ”

"In the past?" Ren Yaochi frowned.

When will it pass? Isn't that the way back?

Rong sighed: "Yes, the most difficult retreat left by Concubine Wan is not Yanbei, but in Hezhong, she explained to us that when Yanbei and the imperial court really turn their faces, and when the two sides fight and have no time to take care of him, we can go back to Hezhong Mansion, and your grandfather still has an edict in his hand, which is an edict to canonize him as the king of Hezhong, and the time on the edict is after the previous edict of the abolished king." ”

"Sandpiper and clam fight, fisherman profits?" Ren Yaochi was surprised.

She has always been a little strange before, Wan Guifei and Empress Dowager Yan have been fighting for decades, and the two are also equal, and even for a long time, Wan Guifei is still in the upper hand, why will Wan Guifei be defeated like a mountain after the last day, not to mention that all the forces collapsed, and then not only could not save her son, but even lost her own life.

Now it seems that the situation on Concubine Wan's side at the beginning was not as disadvantageous as she thought, and the power of the generation in the river she ran was not as disadvantageous as the outside world thought.

King Xian was brought under the nose of King Yanbei by her, so that King Xian's life was protected by the palace of Yanbei Wang, and the power of the river was able to escape the sight of the court and continue to develop steadily in secret.

At this time, she had to admire Concubine Wan, she tried to figure out people's hearts with her strategies and methods, she did everything perfectly, and even calculated what happened after her death so far.

Rong sighed again: "Originally, this was true, but I didn't expect that the fisherman had not yet benefited, so one of the sandpiper mussels took the initiative to find them." ”

Ren Yaoqi immediately thought of Xiao Jingxi's last visit: "You mean, Xiao Ergongzi?" ”

Rong nodded and sighed, "The future is terrifying! ”

Ren Yaochi was thinking that in the previous life, before she died, the contradiction between Yanbei and the imperial court had become clear, and the situation between the north and the south had become unprecedentedly tense, but she still did not live to see the day when King Xian took the edict of the first emperor to go to the river to be king, maybe the time has not come, or it may also be because of the intervention of Xiao Ergongzi, something happened in it.

"He knows the way out that Concubine Wan left for you in the river, so he uses this to threaten you to be used by him?" Ren Yaochi didn't want to think of Xiao Jingxi in the worst way, but when it came to the political struggle between the DPRK, there was no way to measure a person by good or bad, and all that everyone could adhere to and rely on was their position.

Rong shook his head and said, "No, he just proposed mutual benefit." ”

Seeing Ren Yaochi looking at her, Rong smiled and reached out to help Ren Yaoqi brush the hair in front of his forehead: "It's an alliance, an alliance between the Xian Wangfu and the Yanbei Wangfu." We lent the power of the river when he needed it, and he guaranteed our safety in Yanbei, and when we returned to the river, the palace of Yanbei would not be obstructed and recognize the emperor's edict. ”

I see!

Ren Yaochi thought that she had guessed that there was an agreement between Xiao Jingxi and Xian Wangfu before, but she didn't expect this game of chess to be so big.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi bowing his head and saying nothing, Rong Shi sighed and said, "Back then, we were sorry for your mother. ”
