King Yanbei looked at his biological mother, Concubine Yun, again.

Concubine Yun was silent for a while, and then asked the old princess, "What do you mean...... Is the rule that the older the better? ”

The old princess glanced at Concubine Yun, thinking that Concubine Yun wanted to go against her, and sneered: "This is the filial piety that future generations should fulfill!" There is nothing good or bad, only what should not be! People like us should have bigger rules than the sky. ”

Concubine Yun couldn't see any displeasure on her face in the face of the old princess's cynicism, but said coldly: "What you said is also reasonable, but you may not know the original clan rules of the Xiao family. ”

Concubine Yun's words made everyone stunned, and the old princess was especially disgusted with Concubine Yun's attitude of not taking people seriously, so she said: "What do you mean?" I don't know the way, do you know the way? ”

Concubine Yun said unhurriedly: "I do know the way, before you enter the door of the Xiao family, the family rule of the Xiao family is that you can only enter the family tree if you give birth to a son, not that you can enter the family tree if you give birth to a child." So if, according to you, the rules are set as soon as possible, then she is not the only one who should not be on the family tree. ”

Concubine Yun's words made the old princess so angry that her face turned white, and she slapped the table on the spot: "Nonsense!" Lord, you just let your biological mother slander your mother-in-law like this? Are the rules of Yanbei Wangfu still there? ”

King Yanbei was innocently named, and blinked: "What? Aren't we talking about the new daughter-in-law entering the family tree? ”

Concubine Yun said lightly: "It's just a matter of facts, why are you angry with him." What if I'm a birth mother? It's me who goes to guard the tomb of the old prince, and it's not you, what are you not satisfied with? Why don't we go to the old prince instead? We're talking about clan rules now. The reason why you were able to enter the genealogy of the Xiao family back then was because you had different identities, and then the old prince simply changed the family rules to enter the family tree after giving birth to a child. If you don't believe me, go through the old house rules of the Xiao family decades ago and see if I have bluffed you? ”

The old princess was speechless by Concubine Yun, and she was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.

I don't know how many times this kind of thing has happened when these two people have been in the same room for decades, so the people of the Xiao family are not surprised, and one day these two people suddenly get along well, which will scare people.

Seeing that the atmosphere is about to stiffen. Xiao Jingxi looked at his mother.

The princess appeared very calmly to play the round: "Speaking of which, no one's family rules are set in stone, these are all old things, so don't mention it today." ”

Concubine Yun didn't say anything more, but the old princess couldn't sit down here, so she stood up: "I shouldn't have come over today!" If there is anything, your family can decide for yourself! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The princess hurriedly spoke up, but the old princess had already left the side hall, and the princess glanced at the princess.

At this time, Concubine Yun also stood up: "If there is anything, you can decide for yourself, I will drink this cup of tea next time." After speaking, Concubine Yun left without waiting for the princess to speak.

Ren Yaoqi stood below and watched. She is a junior and a bride, and she has no part in the fight of the gods. However, looking at the back of Concubine Yun getting up and leaving, Ren Yaochi couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

Just now, on the surface, it seemed that Concubine Yun was cold and indifferent to everyone, and even when she went to guard the tomb for the old princess, she seemed to be dissatisfied with King Yanbei, but Concubine Yun relieved them at the right time, because only Concubine Yun was able to match the old princess present.

And the purpose of Concubine Yun's departure is also different from that of the old princess, the old princess was angry with Concubine Yun, but Concubine Yun was for the old princess's sentence "If there is anything, your family can decide for yourself!" ”

If Concubine Yun doesn't leave. confirmed the accusation that the old princess was united by them and left angrily, and she also left, so King Yanbei didn't have to be embarrassed. From an outsider's point of view, this is just another battle between the East Palace and the West Palace.

The people present were silent for a while, and then it was King Yanbei who spoke: "The two elders are old, and they have not been sitting for long. Their tea. You will pay homage another day, what should you do now, and write down the family tree after the ceremony. What a big deal! ”

Xiao Jingyue smiled and said, "Then grandmother doesn't care?" ”

King Yanbei glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to do?" Crossed your grandmother's name off the family tree? ”

Xiao Heng hurriedly stopped Xiao Jingyue in a low voice. apologized to Yanbei Wang Daolu: "He is a child who is not sensible, and he has never been able to cover up his words, so please forgive me." ”

Xiao Jingyue also obediently apologized to his father's words: "Yes, uncle." My nephew has always been outspoken and fast-talking, so don't be like me. ”

King Yanbei looked at them and smiled meaningfully: "This king naturally won't be angry with juniors, but Jingyue, you kid is not too young, and you are about to start a family, so you should pay attention to what you say and act on weekdays." If the elders at home can tolerate you, you will be tolerant, and you will also represent our Yanbei Wangfu when you go out of this door, and if you make a mistake and then seek the tolerance of the elders, that is, you want the elders to show favoritism, which is not good. ”

Xiao Heng's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked tentatively, "Why did the prince say this?" But what kind of bastard did he do outside, and someone came to you to complain? ”

King Yanbei said: "Didn't I give him a wake-up?" His temperament is really worrying, but don't wait until you really commit something irreparable to know that you are wrong, you have to treat your son as a father on weekdays. ”

Xiao Heng hurriedly responded, seeing that Xiao Jingyue seemed to want to speak, Xiao Heng secretly glared at him fiercely, Xiao Jingyue shrugged his shoulders, and finally became honest.

As soon as Xiao Jingyue was honest, the next step was much smoother, and no one came to stir up this confession ceremony.

Ren Yaochi and Xiao Jingxi first gave tea to the prince and the princess, and received two big red seals, and then Ren Yaoqi and the people in the second room of the Xiao family greeted each other according to their seniority, and Xiao Heng and his wife also gave gifts. The population of the Xiao family is quite simple, and this recognition ceremony was quickly completed.

Later, under the clapping of the prince, Ren Yaoqi's name was smoothly uploaded to the family tree of the Xiao family. The old princess and Concubine Yun are not there, the biggest one is King Yanbei, so naturally he has the final say.

Except for the unpleasantness at the beginning, this morning went well, at least Ren Yao became the daughter-in-law of Yanbei Wangfu.

After coming out of the Chengde Palace, the prince said to Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi: "You go and toast a cup of tea to the old lady of the concubine, talk to her and then go back." ”

Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yao responded, and the prince and princess returned to Jiuyang Hall first.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi, and after hesitating for a while, she said, "I won't go today." "Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi went to give tea to Concubine Yun, and it was not appropriate for her to go with her. With Xiao Jingxi by her side today, Xiao Jinglin is not worried that Ren Yaoqi will be wronged.

Xiao Jingxi smiled and nodded: "Okay, you go back first, and I'll look for you later." Xiao Ergongzi felt that when he was not in the house, his wife and sister-in-law could stay together and be companions, and Xiao Jinglin could also protect Ren Yaoqi from suffering. After all, it is impossible for the princess to protect Ren Yaoqi by her side all the time, and it is not appropriate for the prince to go to Jiuyang Hall at home.

Xiao Jinglin nodded and left first.

Xiao Jingxi simply let the maids and ladies who followed also retreat, and went to Concubine Yun's Lanfan Hall like Ren Yaoqi and the two of them took a walk.

Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and asked quietly, "Are you tired?" ”

Ren Yaochi originally wanted to reply that he was not tired, but suddenly remembered the joke in the boudoir between the two before. I couldn't say this, I just glared at Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Jingxi chuckled: "What are you staring at me for?" I just want to say that this place is still some distance from the Lanfan Palace, and I asked if you want to take a soft sedan chair. ”

Ren Yaoqi went his own way and ignored him.

Xiao Jingxi followed up and said softly, "Really angry? ”

Ren Yaoqi glanced at him: "No." ”

Xiao Jingxi reached out and quietly hooked her fingers, Ren Yaoqi was a little unaccustomed to avoiding it slightly, but she didn't move when Xiao Jingxi's hand caught up again.

The hands of the two were held together by the cover of their sleeves, and they walked all the way to the Lanfan Palace.

When she was about to arrive at the front of the palace, without waiting for Ren Yaoqi to speak, Xiao Jingxi took the initiative to let her go.

Concubine Yun was in the small Buddha hall of the Lanxi Palace. When I heard that they were coming, I came out.

I heard that the junior came to give her tea, but Concubine Yun didn't say anything, and ordered two bowls of hot tea to be brought up, and when they served the tea, there was nothing difficult to drink. He also took out the red seal that had been prepared early in the morning from his maid and gave one to each of them.

After that, Concubine Yun didn't have anything to say, it was all Xiao Jingxi who spoke, and Ren Yaochi sometimes followed up with a sentence or two. Concubine Yun listened on the side, nodded occasionally, and simply responded a few times to indicate that she was listening.

"Have you been to Shou'an Palace?" Concubine Yun asked suddenly.

Xiao Jingxi said: "Not yet." You are relatively close here, so you will come to the Lanxi Hall first. ”

Concubine Yun nodded: "Then you go to Shou'an Palace, I have nothing to do here." ”

Xiao Jingxi smiled: "It's still early. We'll talk to you again. I heard that you want someone to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and her handwriting is quite visible during the Yao period, so let her write a few for you, and if you are satisfied, let her copy it for you, right? It's okay for her to be left and right. ”

This is not Xiao Jingxi's own opinion, they have already talked about this topic on the way here just now, and Ren Yaochi has no opinion.

Ren Yaochi also knew that it was very important for Lu Dao to coexist peacefully with Concubine Yun in the Yanbei Palace, after all, on an occasion like today, only Concubine Yun could blatantly come out to face the old princess. The premise is that Concubine Yun, she has to be willing to protect you.

Concubine Yun glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought for a while and said, "There's no need to write, I saw her handwriting during the last Qianjin Banquet, which is very good." However, the most important thing in copying Buddhist scriptures is not whether the words are good or not, but whether you are sincere or not, and whether you understand the Buddha's meaning. ”

Ren Yaochi said modestly: "My daughter-in-law's qualifications are dull, and I don't dare to say that I understand the meaning of the Buddha, but I have read the basic Buddhist scriptures, and I have sincerity." ”

Concubine Yun said lightly: "If you are still stupid, there will be no smart people." ”

Ren Yaoqi's performance at the daughter's banquet last time was still fresh in everyone's memory, and so was Concubine Yun. Xiao Jingxi said before that he has both ability and political integrity, which proves at least half of it.

Xiao Jingxi was very happy with Concubine Yun's straightforward praise, and smiled at Ren Yaoqi.

"What books have you read? Let's hear it. Concubine Yun asked.

Concubine Yun said that she was familiar with it, and Ren Yaoqi thought about it before she said a few scriptures that she remembered more familiarly.

Concubine Yun nodded, said a few more titles of other scriptures, and asked, "What about these?" ”

Ren Yaochi said implicitly: "I've read it a few times." ”

Concubine Yun glanced at Ren Yaoqi and asked her a few questions, and Ren Yaoqi answered them one by one from memory.

Concubine Yun waved her hand and frowned slightly: "Okay, I am more familiar with reading than me." ”

Ren Yaoqi stopped talking, and Xiao Jingxi laughed on the side.

Concubine Yun said: "Come over tomorrow afternoon, just copy for half an hour every day, if there is something on any day, let people come over and say, it's okay if you don't come." ”

Ren Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head in response.

Concubine Yun glanced at Xiao Jingxi: "I won't leave you to eat, you go to Shou'an Palace." ”

This time, Xiao Jingxi listened to Concubine Yun's words and took Ren Yaoqi to get up and say goodbye.

After the two came out of the Shou'an Palace, Xiao Jingxi saw Ren Yaoqi thoughtful, so he asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Ren Yaochi thought about it for a while, and said honestly: "Thinking about the concubine, her old man doesn't seem to be so difficult to approach. It's just that I still don't like her granddaughter-in-law very much, but it's a good thing that I don't feel sorry for her.

Xiao Jingxi smiled: "Well, you are so good, everyone should like it." ”

Xiao Ergongzi's realm of love words is now about to reach its peak, so talent is a universal thing. Smart people understand everything quickly and don't need to be taught.

Ren Yaoqi was praised by Xiao Jingxi and blushed.

The two walked to the door of Shou'an Palace, this time they did not go in directly, but let people go in at the door to report, and then obediently waited at the door to listen to instructions.

It didn't take long for the grandmother in the old princess's yard to come out and say to the two apologetically: "The old princess has felt a little uncomfortable since she came back, why don't you two come back another day?" ”

Xiao Jingxi asked, "Have you asked the doctor to come and see you?" Let's go in and have a visit. ”

The grandmother hurriedly said: "No, no, the old princess has already fallen asleep, but she has made an old mistake, and she has just taken a dose of the medicine prescribed by the doctor before, and she can sleep well, you two should please go back." ”

Xiao Jingxi asked a few more words, insisted on a few words, but they were all rejected, and finally could only regret and be disappointed to take Ren Yaochi to leave.

In fact, they all knew that the old princess was unlikely to see them today, but it was one thing to see them or not, and it was another thing to come or not.

After the two left Shou'an Palace, they planned to go back, and halfway there, a subordinate came down to report to Xiao Jingxi, Xiao Jingxi had to send Ren Yaoqi to Xiao Jinglin first, and he went to get down to business first. (To be continued......)
