Ren Yaoqi's original intention of saying this was actually to appease Xiao Jingxi, but he didn't want Xiao Jingxi to have no joy on his face after hearing this.

Yao Qi was wondering what was wrong with this young master today, but Xiao Jingxi looked at her and said with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes: "I should be happy if you weren't angry with me, but now I'd rather you be angry." ”

Xiao Jingxi's voice was extremely low when he said this, almost muttering to himself, if it weren't for Ren Yaoqi standing very close to him, he might not be able to hear it clearly.

Ren Yaochi looked at Xiao Jingxi like this, and suddenly realized that he was different from her, although Xiao Jingxi has always given people a sense of omnipotence, and his ability always makes people ignore his age, but when she met Xiao Jingxi, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and now he is only twenty years old.

Xiao Jingxi can strategize when facing big things, and even have no last resort, but in terms of emotional issues, he may not be more mature than ordinary men with weak crowns.

Thinking so, Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi, who looked gloomy in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.

"I'm not mad at you, but ...... If I say I hate the cream, do you think I don't know the general picture? Ren Yaoqi said a little embarrassedly, Ren Yaoqi had never said this kind of thing, and now when she said it in front of Xiao Jingxi, it was inevitable that she would be a little jealous, so after saying this, her face was so red that she could drip blood, but this feeling was actually quite novel, from the previous life to this life, she did not experience this awkward mood with the attitude of a little daughter.

However, it was obvious that her words pleased Xiao Jingxi, and just now he still had a gloomy face, but now the corners of his lips curved with pleasure.

"Is that true?" Xiao Jingxi lowered his head, looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked in a low voice.

The two of them were already standing close, Xiao Jingxi lowered his head like this, the two of them could smell their breathing, and Ren Yaochi subconsciously wanted to retreat. But after thinking about it, she still bit her lip and stood there without moving, although Xiao Jingxi's close breath made her calves tremble a little.

Ren Yaoqi looked up at Xiao Jingxi's bright eyes like stars in the dark night, and nodded almost invisibly.

The smile on Xiao Jingxi's face deepened, and the sparkle in his eyes seemed to condense into a whirlpool, which could make people drown in his gentle and focused eyes.

He held Ren Yaoqi's hand, Ren Yaoqi's gently lowered eyelashes trembled, and Xiao Jingxi saw that she didn't break away, so he carefully hugged her again.

Ren Yaoqi is still not used to being so close to men, but this person is Xiao Jingxi. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but soften. At this time, she realized that she couldn't see him showing a little aggrieved and sad, no matter whether Xiao Jingxi was really aggrieved or pretended, she didn't like to see it.

Ren Yaoqi was in Xiao Jingxi's arms, a little stunned.

She even had some thoughts about wandering around the world, maybe she understood what Xiao Jinglin meant when she said to her, "Beauty tears, hero mounds". She is not a hero, and she can't pass the beauty level.

"I like your ignorance, I like it very much." Xiao Jingxi whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear. The low and dark voice is so good that people can't help but blush and heartbeat, and their whole body is numb.

Xiao Jingxi quietly hugged Ren Yaochi for a while, and there was no other movement, and Ren Yaoqi obediently did not move. The atmosphere is so beautiful that people can't give up.

In the end, Ren Yaoqi moved, and stood up straight from Xiao Jingxi's arms with a red face, and this time Xiao Jingxi let go of her.

"Is there anything else you're looking for me?" Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi and asked softly.

Xiao Jingxi is in a good mood at this time. Pulled Ren Yaoqi to sit down in the middle of the room, and poured her a cup of tea: "I heard that you have already agreed to Zhu Ruomei's family affairs?" ”

"Zhu Ruomei is your person, where does his family need me to agree? He asked to marry my maid. I agreed. Ren Yaochi lowered his head and said.

Xiao Jingxi chuckled when he heard this, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Who said that his family affairs don't need your permission?" He's my man. ”

The meaning of Xiao Jingxi's words is already very straightforward, where does Ren Yaoqi not understand? But this is not a good thing to say, and it is not easy to refute it.

Xiao Jingxi didn't want to embarrass Ren Yaoqi, although he loved her blushing and shy appearance, "I want to discuss with you whether his wedding date can be advanced." ”

Ren Yaoqi raised his head to look at him at this time, a little surprised: "The wedding date is early? When is it early? "Zhu Ruomei's wedding date was set by the Zhu family themselves, and she suddenly had to reschedule it at this time, and Xiao Jingxi came to tell her, of course Ren Yaoqi was surprised.

Xiao Jingxi muttered: "The sooner the better, how about after the Duanyang Festival?" ”

Ren Yaoqi became more and more surprised when he heard this, today is the second day of the new year, and the fifth day of the first month is the Duanyang Festival, that is, to set Zhu Ruomei's family affairs in a few days.

"Why are you in such a hurry? But what happened? "If it weren't for Zhu Ruomei's age, Ren Yaoqi originally thought that it would be too early to get married at the end of June, and I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to prepare in just two or three months.

"I want Zhu Ruomei to go on a long trip, if his wedding date is not advanced, I am afraid that it will be postponed. I asked him what he meant, and he said he wanted to get married sooner. Xiao Jingxi said.

Ren Yaochi glanced at Xiao Jingxi, Xiao Jingxi asked Zhu Ruomei to go out of the house, there must be something important to explain to him, Ren Yaochi originally wanted to ask clearly, after all, Sydney is her person, she just can't ask. But Ren Yaochi was afraid that he shouldn't ask these things, and if he asked, it would make Xiao Jingxi embarrassed.

Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi's expression, naturally understood what she was thinking, smiled and said, "Do you know that the Empress Dowager of Lu Dao selected ten ladies to come to Yanbei this time, and there are also three court officials?" On the surface, they came for the Golden Banquet and the book "Yanshan River Atlas", but in essence, they were not. ”

When Ren Yaoqi heard this, he immediately thought of the last time he asked Yuan Dayong to inquire, among those officials, perhaps only Pei Zhiyan really came for the "Yanshan River Atlas", and the other two officials were for the matter of reopening border trade with the Liao.

Ren Yaochi nodded: "I asked people to inquire last time." "Now that Yuan Dayong can know this, Xiao Jingxi's instructions must be indispensable.

Xiao Jingxi doesn't have the concept that women in the inner house are not allowed to ask about the affairs of the outer court. Xiao Jinglin is also a woman, which does not prevent Xiao Jingxi from appreciating her in some aspects. And Ren Yaochi is about to become his wife, and she is also a woman he admires, so Xiao Jingxi doesn't mind Ren Yaochi knowing these things.

"The new Liao King was only fifteen years old when he succeeded to the throne, and it was inevitable that he would be young and vigorous, and since he succeeded to the throne in the past few years, he led troops to invade the south every year, but he could not enter Jiajing Pass in any case, and his prestige in Liao was greatly reduced. The last wife of the old Liao King, Queen Shunzhen, is the niece of the governor of the Peking University Royal Court, and Queen Shunzhen and the North Court want to support her young son to replace her. In order to win over the Southern Courtyard, the new Liao King married the daughter of the King of the Southern Courtyard. Don't look at this king of the Southern Courtyard who is silent on weekdays, and there are few people in the Liao Kingdom who are his opponents, and this time the King of Liao sent people to quietly enter Beijing to ask for peace with the Great Zhou Dynasty is the meaning of the King of the Southern Courtyard. Xiao Jingxi analyzed the situation in Liao to Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaochi lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "The Liao State lost the battle this time and took the initiative to sue for peace...... Are they going to give up the land or are they going to lose the money? ”

I don't want Xiao Jingxi to laugh when he heard this, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "Let's pay the silver, but it's not the Liao State that compensates the Great Zhou, but the Great Zhou pays the Liao State." ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this: "There are such good things?" ”

"The imperial court has been recuperating in the southern region for many years, and there is no shortage of silver." Xiao Jingxi said lightly.

Ren Yaoqi pondered carefully and understood that the imperial court did not lack silver, but the control of Yanbei.

The Liao people suffered defeat at the hands of the Yanbei army, but bypassed the Yanbei palace to seek peace with the imperial court. The sum is false, and the evil intentions are true.

The Southern Court and the North Court of Liao are now working separately, and it is not a matter of time to decide whether they want to win or lose. The prestige of the new Liao King has been greatly reduced, and he can't lead his troops south to attack the city again in the near future, so the Liao King wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take a breath and clear the portal, so he proposed to reopen the border trade between the two countries.

No matter how powerful the Yanbei Wangfu is, it is only a vassal king, and Da Zhou is still surnamed Li.

The Liao people know that compared to the Liao State separated by the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Yanbei Royal Mansion is a fish bone in the throat of the Great Zhou court. I can't spit it out, I can't swallow it, and it will festering and suppurating after a long time. Therefore, even if the Liao people suffered a defeat, they dared to offer to let the Great Zhou Dynasty give them New Year's coins and allow the reopening of border trade.

Because if the Liao people truce war with Yanbei, the existence of the Yanbei royal mansion will become embarrassing. Without war, if Yanbei still wants to feed so many troops, the people will complain, and over time, Yanbei Wangfu will not want to disarm. In this way, it is much easier for the Great Zhou Dynasty to clean up the Yanbei Palace, and it is much more justifiable.

Thinking like this, Ren Yaoqi also broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help sighing: "No wonder you said that the king of the Southern Courtyard is scheming, and this plan to kill two birds with one stone makes it beautiful." ”

When the Yanbei palace was forced to weaken, the Liao State had already dealt with its own internal affairs, and the national strength had gradually recovered due to the reopening of border trade.

Xiao Jingxi heard this, and every time he talked to Ren Yaoqi, it was the easiest time for him. He didn't have to guard against her, and he didn't have to be afraid that she wouldn't understand. Every time, as long as he starts, she can understand that she is not far from ten. A woman as smart as her, he hadn't seen a few.

"So the Yanbei Royal Mansion wants to stop this peace negotiation between the imperial court and Da Liao?" Ren Yaochi asked.

Xiao Jingxi didn't answer immediately when he heard this, he thought about it and looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile: "If that's the case, aren't you afraid that we will become sinners in the entire Great Zhou?" After all, for ordinary people, it is always good not to fight. Xiao Jingxi is very comfortable with putting Ren Yaoqi into the category of "us". (To be continued......)
