Chapter 188: Tentative

Before dropping the spoon in the yard, Xiangqin went back to Lin's house and told Ren Yaoqi what happened today.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her with joy.
"Miss, you don’t know. Today, the Lin family’s mother asked for a purse when she saw Madam Fang and Miss Jiu back. Although Miss Jiu’s face was not pretty, she let the maid go down and get it. Of course, the purse was gone. The face of the maid at Lin's house. Alas, the maidservant is happy to death!"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at her with a smile: "Isn't there a handle this time?"
Xiangqin said hurriedly: "Miss Fifth, don’t worry, there will be no mistakes this time. Besides, Madam Fang and Miss Nine have both gone out. This is absolutely unknowing. Speaking of which Young Master Fang is really dumb, even I don’t know how many times my purse has been changed."
"Well, you have worked hard today, go down and rest." Ren Yaoqi smiled.
Xiangqin agreed and went down with a big smile. Before leaving, she smiled and said: "The fifth lady is different when it comes out. See if they dare to bully our third lady!"
At this time, Ren Yaoying was still instructing a housemaid to search for her purse in the other courtyard of the Ren family, but unfortunately not even a shadow was found.
Ren Yaoying's maid, Chun'er, looked depressed: "The slave and maid clearly remembered to put it in the closet, how could it be gone."
Ren Yaoying frowned: "Look carefully again to see if there is anything wrapped in clothes."
"I have opened the clothes one by one..."
Mrs. Fang, who had been sitting silently, suddenly interrupted: "Forget it, don't look for it."
Ren Yaoying looked at the Liu family: "Auntie, what does the Lin family mean? Why do you suddenly think of me asking for a purse? I have to ask for the things I sent out. I heard about it for the first time! It just happened. The purse is gone!"
Liu's eyes lowered, and for a while, he sighed, "We have been calculated."
Ren Yaoying was taken aback: "Auntie, you mean..."
Liu's shook his head, just about to speak, a woman next to her walked in and whispered a few words in Liu's ear.
Liu's brows wrinkled involuntarily, and the frowning became tighter.
Ren Yaoying walked in a little bit, only to hear the last sentence of the woman: "...I only found these, we brought not many people, and most of them went out."
However, Ren Yaoying recalled her words and said suspiciously: "Auntie, is the third sister playing tricks?"
Liu waved his hand to let the woman go out, and then sighed and looked at Ren Yaoying: "Your mother said that they are not a cause for concern, but it seems to be a mistake. I said before that you should bear it, don’t be at this juncture. She argues for that moment, but you don't listen."
Ren Yaoying bit her lip: "I'm very careful. Didn't the third sister find the evidence. Besides, they are dead enemies with us, and they won't make us feel better even without this incident."
Liu looked at Ren Yaoying and sighed, but after all, he said nothing.
On the morning of the second day, Ren Yaoqi was playing with Brother Cen in Ren Shijia’s house, and the outside concierge came to report that Mrs. Fang Liu was here again.
Liu still came to see Mrs. Lin San today.
Ren Shijia was a soft temper, and in the end she couldn't avoid taking Liu to see Mrs. Lin San. This time Ren Yaoqi didn't go with him, but it didn't take long for Ren Shijia to return.
Mrs. Lin's body was slightly ill today, and she did not want to see guests.
Ren Yaoqi said in surprise: "Why is the third wife suddenly sick? We haven't heard of it in the mansion."
Ren Shijia cleaned her hands and took Cen Ge'er from the nurse. Old lady Ren found another nurse for Brother Cen, and she no longer needed Ren Shijia to feed herself.
"I saw that the third sister-in-law should not be ill, just don't want to see the cousin. Just after I sent the cousin away, the third sister-in-law condemned the big maid beside her to come and tell me, let me take Brother Cen with me. Playing with Sister Ling. This is hinting to me not to bring outsiders there in the future." Ren Shijia exhaled, "I don't want to get involved in these things. This is the best thing. Clean."
Ren Yaoqi smiled upon hearing this, and sat next to Ren Shijia to tease Brother Cen, and stopped talking about Liu's affairs.
In the afternoon, Ren Yaoqi went to Yanbei Palace by appointment.
Xiao Jinglin saw Ren Yaoqi and said, "I thought you were not here today."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and went forward and took Xiao Jinglin's arm, followed her to the Princess’s Nine Sun Palace, while whispering in her ear: "Of course I have to come, otherwise the princess will be lazy again playing the piano. And yesterday. Thanks to the princess for your help."
Yesterday, Mrs. Fang and Ren Yaoying did not go to Su's house but came to Yanbei Palace because Ren Yaoqi sent a letter to Xiao Jinglin and asked her to help.
Xiao Jinglin shook her head and didn't care, she just said, "I'm not lazy. My husband said that my piano art has made great progress, and I will make great progress!" Xiao Jinglin looked serious.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at her jokingly: "That's right, I haven't heard you play the piano for a day. Let's see if there is a thousand miles away."
The two were talking and laughing towards the Nine Sun Palace, but halfway through, they were stopped by a maid. Xiao Jinglin frowned when she looked at the maid.
"Princess, the old princess invites you to visit Shou'an Hall."
"Does grandmother say what to do with me?" Xiao Jinglin returned to her expressionless appearance.
The maid bowed her head and said: "The slave and maid don't know, the old princess just asked the slave to invite the princess."
Xiao Jinglin stopped talking, turned her head and said to Ren Yaoqi, "I'll be there when I go. You can go to Jiuyang Palace and wait for me first."
Ren Yaoqi was about to agree, but she didn't want the maid but said: "The old princess invites Miss Ren Jia to go with the princess."
Xiao Jinglin glanced at the maid, then at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly smiled and said, "I have never had a chance to meet the old princess, let me go with the princess."
Xiao Jinglin didn't say anything, and led Ren Yaoqi around the Jiuyang Temple and walked to Shou'an Temple.
When approaching the Shou'an Temple, Xiao Jinglin whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear: "When you see my grandmother later, you should talk as little as possible and make fewer mistakes. If it is not easy to answer, I will answer for you."
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, he couldn't help but feel warm, and looked at Xiao Jinglin and nodded and smiled.
Xiao Jinglin squeezed Ren Yaoqi's hand and let go.
The Shou'an Hall is smaller than the Jiuyang Hall, but it is still very grand, and it is also located on the central axis of the palace.
When Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jinglin in, there were already a few people sitting in the hall.
Sitting on the head, the old princess wore a long sleeve twill embroidered with a bird and a phoenix pattern on her head with a clay gold background and swastika, with a majestic temperament. Sitting next to her was a middle-aged woman with a face somewhat similar to her. She was dressed in a big red and magnificent dress with ten brocades. The girl in purple dress sitting next to the old princess was once Xiao Jinglin fought Wu Yiyu.
Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jinglin to salute. The woman was the only daughter of the old princess and the wife of Ningxia General Soldier Wu Xiaohe.
"I heard that Lin'er is practicing piano recently? How are you doing?" Madam Wu looked at Xiao Jinglin and asked with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin said quietly: "Still practicing, not good at playing."
Madam Wu looked at the old princess and smiled: "I've said that it's been so long, and I haven't seen Lin'er several times, which is strange."
The old concubine glanced at Xiao Jinglin: "Don't say you haven't seen her a few times, it's hard for me to see her. I have to urge four times every time."
Mrs. Wu smiled on the side: "My concubine said and laughed. I looked at Lin'er as a filial person. Yiyu met her with Mrs. Yun the other day."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin, and saw her standing there without changing her face, when she didn't hear these words with guns and sticks.
The old princess sneered and turned her head to drink tea.
Madam Wu turned her gaze to Ren Yaoqi's face and said with a smile: "This girl looks like a water spirit. But... how come you look familiar? Is it possible that I have seen it before?"
The old concubine also looked at Ren Yaoqi and thoughtfully: "She is younger than Yu'er, nowhere have you seen it. But it is similar to the face of the person you have met. You are the granddaughter of Wang Fei Xian. "" The next sentence was for Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head slightly: "Yes, old princess."
The old princess said to Madam Wu: "When you were young, I took you to Kyoto to celebrate the emperor's birthday. At that time, you were still young, so I must not remember."
Mrs. Wu suddenly realized: "You didn't mention your daughter until you forgot." Her gaze turned on Ren Yaoqi's body, without any deep meaning, "It really resembles that person a little bit."
Although Ren Yaoqi stood there pretending to be dumb, he felt like Ming Jinger in his heart.
The person who the mother and daughter are talking about should be King Xian's biological mother, Wan Guifei.
The old concubine was the daughter of the emperor, and her maternal grandfather Xianwang was a sibling, so she had naturally seen concubine Wan.
In the previous life in Kyoto, some people said that she was somewhat similar to the late Wan Guifei.
Wu Yiyu sat on the old princess and said suspiciously, "Grandma, mother, who are you talking about? Who is she like?"
The old princess touched her head, her eyes softened a lot, and she smiled: "You don't even recognize it. When grandma took your mother back to Beijing, you were as old as you."
Wu Yiyu pouted, the strong and violent girl outside, she looked a little bit charming now: "Then when will you take me to Kyoto to play?"
Mrs. Wu laughed and scolded: "What are you going to do in Kyoto?"
The old princess said to Madam Wu: "Okay, don't you have something to ask Lin'er?"
Mrs. Wu stopped laughing with her daughter when she remembered the business, turned her head to look at Xiao Jinglin, and said to the old concubine: "Mother concubine, you see the child is still standing."
The old princess waved her hand, let Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi sit down, and Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jinglin until she started.
"Lin'er has been back for quite some time, will she live in Yunyang City in the future?" Madam Wu thought for a while and asked with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin glanced at her and said quietly: "Follow the arrangements of my father."
Mrs. Wu took a sip of tea and smiled warmly: "Speaking of Lin'er, she's not too young anymore, she's a girl, it's better to be with her parents. There are rough men in the border, and you were fine when you were young. I always go there when I get older. What can I do with my reputation in the future?"
Xiao Jinglin's complexion remained unchanged, and she nodded after thinking about it: "Thank you for your aunt's worry. Speaking of rough men...not just in Jiajing Pass, there are also many places like Ningxia. Aunt and cousin can stay in Ningxia so much. Young and good reputation, Jing Lin will naturally not be afraid."
"Presumptuous!" The old princess scolded with a cold face, "How did you talk to the elders!"
Madam Wu's face was also ugly, Wu Yiyu shot Xiao Jinglin's face with a pair of eyes like a knife, her face gloomy.
Xiao Jinglin glanced at the three of them and curled her mouth: "I'm sorry, aunt. I grew up in the border, and I speak more straightforwardly. Don't worry about my younger generation. But I think you should understand what I say to you. It’s right to have no malice."
Mrs. Wu took a deep breath and forced a smile on her face: "It’s good if you understand that your aunt is kind. Lin'er, the aunt came back to Yanbei this time because the prince sent a letter to your uncle before. heard about it?"
Xiao Jinglin shook her head: "I don't know, father did not mention it to me."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "Oh? I heard that the prince trusts your daughter very much and allows you to enter and leave the study like your second brother. You also know that the son is far away in the capital, and your father is the only one beside your second brother. Son, his body is..."
Xiao Jinglin frowned, and said directly: "Auntie wants to ask what you want to say." She hates this kind of temptation to try, and can't tell the way of speaking for a long time. If it were not for her elders, she would have left.
