King Yanbei also returned to the palace at this time.

King Yanbei must have returned to Yunyang City at this time to personally preside over Xiao Jinglin's ceremony.

Although there is also a certain process to be followed in the selection of guests, generally speaking, the guests are selected in advance.

Regarding the candidate for the lord of Xiao County and the guest of honor in the ceremony, everyone speculated that it was either Mrs. Xu Shanchang of Yunyang Academy or the old lady of the Yun family, and among the two, Mrs. Xu Ouyang was more likely.

A few days ago, Xiao Jinglin sent a letter to Ren Yaoqi saying that she wanted to ask her to be the praiser of herself and the ceremony, but the princess didn't say anything, she asked Ren Yaoqi to prepare in advance.

Ren Yaoqi felt that being the praiser at the Yanbei County Lord's ceremony was a little inconsistent with her identity.

However, two days before the ceremony, there were rumors outside that the county lord and the guest of honor at the ceremony had appointed Mrs. Xu Ouyang, and the sponsor was Yun Qiuchen, the eldest lady of the Yun family, and the name of Ren Yaoqi was not mentioned. Ren Yao knew that Xiao Jinglin's etiquette was not an ordinary lady's etiquette, and there was a lot of attention to it, so after hearing the news, he also felt very normal.

However, Xiao Jinglin did not deliver any more news, which made Ren Yaochi feel a little strange.

It was the invitation of Yanbei Wangfu that was sent, to Ren Yaoqi's surprise, in addition to her, her mother Li and sister Ren Yaohua were invited on the invitation, after receiving this invitation, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be very grateful to Princess Yanbei, at this time Yanbei Wangfu was willing to help Li in the open, and Li's communication in Yunyang City would be easier in the future.

The day before the ceremony, he was a guest, that is, he went to invite the guest who was selected. Generally, the "guests" should be invited by the host in person. However, due to the special status of King Yanbei and Princess Yanbei, the palace ceremonial officer should be sent to carry out this ceremony.

But on the day of "Subin", Princess Yanbei went out in the royal carriage.

Everyone thought that Princess Yanbei and Mrs. Xu Ouyang still had a master-apprentice relationship, and they must have invited them in person to show their respect for the teacher. Princess Yanbei's carriage passed through Zhengyang Street, and then went to Baohua Hutong.

But the most surprising thing for everyone was that the princess's carriage did not pass through the Aquarius Hutong to Yunyang Academy, and her carriage stopped in front of an ordinary house in the Aquarius Hutong. Then there was a chamberlain with him who knocked on the door of the house.

"Squeak". The door of the house opened, and the old porter looked outside, and when he saw that there were so many carriages parked at the door, he was not frightened, but immediately went back to the inner house to report to the owner's house after asking who it was.

After a while, the door of this private house opened from the inside, and a woman in her twenties hurriedly walked out, saluted the palanquin of Princess Yanbei, and said respectfully: "Your honorable guest is invited, the head of the house is already waiting for the second door." ”

Mama Xin, who was beside the princess, came out and gave a few orders. The princess's carriage slowly drove into the golden pillar gate that was not spacious, because the alley was a little narrow, even if the two gates were opened, it was inconvenient for the carriage behind to go in together, so the entourage maid brought by the princess got off the carriage at the door, and walked into the house after the princess's car.

After everyone went in, in order not to block the alley, and in order to wait for the princess's carriage to come out later, the carriages parked at the door were driven into the courtyard from the back door one after another. The façade of this house is not large. Inside, however, it is very spacious, and there is no problem parking a dozen carriages in the backyard.

And what the princess talked about when she entered this mansion and talked about it with the main family, outsiders have no way to find out, but who the owner of this mansion is known to everyone in the entire Yunyang City. Because this is the residence of Li Gan, the deposed king.

It has been more than ten years since the king came to Yanbei, but the palace of Yanbei has always been a well water and does not violate the river water. The people who dedicated the palace had never been to the Yanbei Palace, and the people in power in the Yanbei Mansion had never stepped into the courtyard of the abolished Wang's house. This time, it was Princess Yanbei who came to visit openly. The meaning of this can't help but be thought of by outsiders.

Princess Yanbei didn't stay much in the palace of the abolition of the palace, and probably only stayed for a quarter of an hour before coming out in the carriage again.

The frames she had brought with her also drove out of the back door. Follow the princess and leave slowly.

Princess Yanbei's first visit to the palace caused a lot of speculation at this time, and there were different opinions about various speculations, anyway, everyone felt that every move of these high-ranking people had a deep meaning. The princess's visit was certainly not easy.

Ren Yaoqi naturally learned the news quickly, and she was also a little surprised, but she guessed that it might have something to do with Xiao Jinglin's banquet. However, she knew that there must be many pairs of eyes staring at her grandfather's family's every move at this time, so she didn't send someone to find the Li family to ask the reason, anyway, she should know the Tao soon.

On the second day, on the day of Xiao Jinglin and the banquet, everyone finally knew what Princess Yanbei had said about the princess of Yanbei going to the treasure bottle alley, and Princess Rong was invited to be the lord of Xiao County and the guest of honor at the banquet.

This seems to have been expected. That's right, in addition to this matter, what else does the princess need to blatantly visit?

But it seems that the matter of Rong's serving as a guest is unexpected by everyone, it stands to reason that the candidate for Zhengbin needs to be both good and prosperous in addition to being virtuous, but although Rong's was once a prince and concubine, now it can be regarded as a guest living in Yanbei as a criminal, is it really appropriate to invite her to be a guest?

In the face of everyone's suspicions, the princess explained very lightly: This is the will of heaven, and it is a candidate calculated by the prince's palace, and even the palace should obey the mandate of heaven.

Regarding the princess's statement, everyone happily said that they understood, but not many people believed it in private. Everyone thought of the recent marriage between the Zeng family and the Wu family in Ningxia, and secretly speculated whether the Yanbei Royal Mansion would also continue to raise the abolished king to respond to the court in the south?

However, as for whether the king can really turn over, everyone thinks it is unlikely. Even if the Yanbei Wangfu wants to raise the Xianwang Mansion to fight against the imperial court, the Xianwang family is just a few chess pieces that come and go when they are called, and they look good and have no substantive effect.

Although the old man of the Ren family was very surprised when he learned the news, he also decided to take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being after thinking about it, and he didn't believe that the Xianwang Mansion could turn over in one day, otherwise why did he go for so many years?

However, for the sake of prudence, he still sent his eldest son Ren Shizhong to Yunyang City to inquire about the situation with Ren Shimin. It's a pity that Ren Shimin didn't know what to ask, and if he asked, it was in vain, and Ren Shizhong could only return in vain.

And Ren Yaoqi was not so surprised when she saw her grandmother Rong in Yanbei Palace, she thought that maybe because Rong wanted to be a guest, so she didn't let her become Xiao Jinglin's sponsor, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.

However, Ren Yaochi thought that since Xiao Jinglin would give her a letter to prepare at that time, it meant that she did not encounter too many objections to let her serve as a sponsor, at least the princess did not refuse. Then the change of candidates was when he was "Xiaobin" three days ago, which happened to be the day when King Yanbei returned home. I don't know what the connection will be.

Rong smiled and nodded at them when she saw Li's mother and daughter, and when she was sitting and talking with Princess Yanbei, she beckoned Li to come over and let Li give a salute to the princess.

The princess held Li's hand and asked her to sit down and talk together, and smiled at Ren Yaochi very familiarly: "Your mother and sister stay here to talk to me, you go and see Jing Lin, there is still half an hour to start, if she is ready, we will go to Chengde Palace." ”

Chengde Hall is quite the ancestral hall of the Xiao family of Yanbei Wangfu, usually not opened on weekdays, only when the ancestors are worshiped or held in the New Year's Festival, Xiao Jinglin's ceremony will be carried out in the east room of the main hall of Chengde Palace.

Ren Yaoqi answered, then turned around and left.

She has been back and forth in Yanbei many times, and she is already very familiar with Yanbei Palace, and she can find Xiao Jinglin by herself without anyone leading the way.

Xiao Jinglin was almost ready, and seemed to be waiting for Ren Yaoqi to find her, and when she saw her, she sent away all the people in the house who had been waiting for her to bathe and change clothes, leaving only Hongying to wait.

Xiao Jinglin opened her mouth and said: "I'm sorry, my mother has already made you my sponsor, so I thought it was ......."

Ren Yaochi smiled and took her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay now." ”

Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Ren Yaoqi didn't mean to be resentful, and said, "I didn't expect that it would be your grandmother who would be the guest of honor, but what you said is right, this result is not bad." ”

Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi glanced at each other, and both smiled at the same time.

Since the king of Yanbei invited the Rong family to be the guest, it was a statement of the alliance that Xiao Jingxi and Xian Wangfu had made privately. In this way, they don't have to worry about them becoming hostile, at least for a short time.

The two talked for a while, and when the time was almost up, the princess sent someone to invite them, and then they went to the Chengde Palace.

Ren Yao period is the first time to the Chengde Palace, all the buildings of the Yanbei Royal Mansion are solemn and majestic, the Chengde Hall as the ancestral hall solemn style is more than the other halls.

The prince and princess, the Rong family, and the people who were invited to watch the ceremony had already arrived in the east hall.

Xiao Jinglin, who was distributed, was led to the prince and princess, and Ren Yaoqi retreated to the Li family and Ren Yaohua.
