Vol 2 Chapter 428: Concubine Yun's Return

Ren Yaoqi got off the carriage and saw Pei Zhiyan who was squatting in the grass beside the road and didn't know what he was doing. He couldn't help but be stunned.
"Mr. Pei?" Ren Yaoqi called softly.
Hearing this, Pei Zhiyan raised his head and was a little surprised when he saw Ren Yaoqi. Then he stood up and took out a towel and wiped his hand. He smiled and said, "Ms. Ren came to see your husband?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded and glanced at the bush where Pei Zhiyan squatted before.
Pei Zhiyan noticed her gaze and smiled, and pointed to the bushes and said, "I just saw there seems to be an orchid in the bushes. See if I am clumsy."
Ren Yaoqi walked over when he heard the words, bent over to look at the plant Pei Zhiyan pointed at. It looked like a Jianlan, it hadn't bloomed, and it grew inconspicuous among the weeds. He didn't know how Pei Zhiyan discovered of.
Ren Yaoqi carefully looked at the Jianlan plant for a while, frowning and said, "It is very similar to Jianlan, but it is sunny and the soil is very dry, which is not suitable for orchid growth. The growth of this plant is very good...it should not be. Orchid?"
Pei Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile: "It's not an orchid or what kind of flower?"
Ren Yaoqi was about to say that she didn't know, but when she saw an inconspicuous young rhizome growing from the middle of the plant, she let out a "Huh", reached out and touched the rhizome, and was delighted. Authentic: "This plant should not be an orchid, but a hare brocade, a kind of Lycoris radiata. I once saw it in a book of Herbal Supplements."
Pei Zhiyan thoughtfully said: ""Herb Supplements"?"
Hearing Pei Zhiyan's voice, Ren Yaoqi suddenly remembered that the book "Herb Supplements" was seen in Pei Zhiyan's study. He had read all the books in Pei Zhiyan's study, so he must know that this plant is not an orchid.
Is this testing her? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glanced at Pei Zhiyan in surprise.
Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, and praised: "Yes, it is indeed Harrier Jin, and Miss Ren is indeed a book reader."
Ren Yaoqi blushed a little bit by her husband's praise for "exploration of books"... She still read those books under Pei Zhiyan's supervision. In front of Pei Zhiyan, she was really not qualified to admit that she was "exploring books".
As if noticing Ren Yaoqi's uncomfortableness, Pei Zhiyan smiled, and then turned around and ordered his entourage to dig out the harrier in the grass.
Upon seeing this, Ren Yaoqi reluctantly dissuaded him: "Sir, Mr. Xu also likes flowers and plants. If he knew about it, he might not be willing to let you dig out this harrier brocade."
Literati love flowers and plants, and Pei Zhiyan likes it, but he doesn’t like to raise orchids and chrysanthemums. He is too lazy, and he is unwilling to give hands to others. Therefore, no matter what kind of noble species, he raises one plant. One spared. Others don’t know, Ren Yaoqi is very clear. The reason why Pei Zhiyan likes this harrier brocade is not only because the harrier brocade is relatively rare, but also because the book says that the brocade is easy to feed. It is given for ten and a half months. Just water it once, and don't have to wait like an orchid.
However, Xu Wanli, who is also a literati, also likes flowers and plants, and may not agree with Pei Zhiyan to dig out the flowers in his garden.
Hearing this, Pei Zhiyan thought about it for a moment: "What you said makes sense."
Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Pei Zhiyan had given up digging Xu's flowers. He didn't want Pei Zhiyan and then smiled leisurely: "I'll go and play chess with Xu Wanli first. After winning him, I will come to dig his flowers. He has nothing to say."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Sir, do you think it is really appropriate to always use this trick?
But Pei Zhiyan didn't hear Ren Yaoqi's internal complaints. He happily went to the second door. Seeing Ren Yaoqi standing still and not moving, he turned around and greeted, "Isn't I going to see your husband?"
Ren Yaoqi followed him into the second door of Xu's house.
Pei Zhiyan said suddenly: "Miss Ren is like an old friend of mine."
Ren Yaoqi's heart jumped when he heard the words, and after a pause, he reluctantly smiled: "I don't know which old person Mr. Pei is talking about?"
Pei Zhiyan looked at her and smiled, warmly said: "Has anyone said that you look like your great-grandmother?"
Ren Yaoqi's originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed. It turned out that Pei Zhiyan was talking about Concubine Wan, she thought...
"Mr. Pei met my great grandmother?"
Pei Zhiyan tilted his head and thought: "I saw it once when I was young."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being a little curious. In her previous life, she had only seen the portrait of Concubine Wan Wan at Pei Zhiyan, but she didn't know that Pei Zhiyan had a close relationship with Concubine Wan himself. When Pei Zhiyan was a teenager, Concubine Wan Wan should be in her forties, right? It is difficult to imagine what kind of intersection between such two people.
However, Pei Zhiyan did not intend to satisfy Ren Yaoqi's curiosity, and then he did not mention Concubine Wan again.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but wonder, when Pei Zhiyan saw him in surprise when she first met on the boat before, was it because her appearance was similar to that of Concubine Wan? So was it because of Concubine Wan that Pei Zhiyan saved him from Grandpa Lu in the last life?
Along the way, Ren Yaoqi had been thinking about this, so he didn't speak. Pei Zhiyan didn't know what he was thinking and didn't say anything, the two of them went silent all the way to Xujiazhengyuan.
I don't know if the two have noticed. Although they are speechless all the way, the atmosphere between the two is not embarrassing, there is an indescribable harmony and tranquility. That is the closeness and tacit understanding that has been precipitated over a long period of time, and it is only between relatives and close friends.
Before entering the Zhengyuan, Pei Zhiyan stopped suddenly, glanced at Ren Yaoqi, smiled and said, "Although it may be presumptuous to say this, Miss Ren always makes me feel familiar." After a pause, I don't know if it is right. Afraid of misunderstanding by others, he smiled again and said, "If I had a daughter, I must be like you."
After saying this, Pei Zhiyan nodded, and went to the study to find Xu Wanli.
Ren Yaoqi stood there to watch him leave, and then went to Mrs. Xu's place.
Ren Yaoqi later learned from Mrs. Xu that Pei Zhiyan really found Xu Wanli to play a game of chess. After winning, he dug out the Harrier Brocade outside the second door of Xu's house.
May passed without any waves. At the beginning of June, before the wedding banquet, Princess Yun of the Yanbei Palace returned.
Princess Yun is the birth mother of the Yanbei King, but she rarely stays in the Yanbei Palace. In her early years, she invited herself to guard the tomb of the old Yanbei King and lived in the other courtyard not far from the tomb of the Xiao Family. , Do not ask foreign affairs.
Contrary to the high profile of the old princess, Concubine Yun does not like ostentation. When she came back, she was just three carriages and a few guards of the palace dressed as ordinary entourages. If it weren't for the guards of the city gate guard Mu Hu who recognized Concubine Yun. , They entered the city for fear of not attracting any attention.
When Mu Hu saw Princess Yun’s car driving into the city, he immediately sent a report to the Yanbei Palace. When Princess Yun's carriage arrived at the main entrance of Yanbei Palace, Princess Yanbei had already greeted her.
Princess Yun was one or two years older than the old princess. She was in her early fifties, and she wore a navy blue jacket skirt without any ornaments. Her temples were already a bit pale, and there was only a pair of white hosta on her hair. There is no other jewelry on Tong's body. Although her face has traces left over by the years, it can be vaguely seen from the facial features that this Princess Yun must be a rare beauty when she was young.
Although compared to the old princess, Princess Yun's dress can only be described as shabby, and even some facial women are more expensive than her, but no one will mistake her for a servant wife. There are people in this world who wear dragon robes and don't look like the prince. Naturally, there are also people who wear commoner Jingchai and have extraordinary temperament. Princess Yun is such a person.
Concubine Yun held on to the princess who was going to come forward to salute her, and said quietly: "There is no such rule, don't let people watch the jokes, go in."
She has a cold face and a low voice. She doesn't have a very affectionate attitude towards her daughter-in-law and niece. She seems a little uncomfortable, but she is not deliberately arrogant to her daughter-in-law.
The princess seemed to understand her mother-in-law’s temperament very well, and she did not persist. As soon as she helped her with her hand, the princess got up and went in with her. The two of them seldom talked all the way, and they were basically princesses Asking, Princess Yun occasionally replied "um".
The princess personally sent Princess Yun to her Lanxiu Temple, took someone to wait for her to change her clothes, and offered tea.
"Where is the prince?" After taking her seat, Princess Yun asked.
"After the Dragon Festival, the prince went out."
Where did the princess go, the princess did not say clearly, nor did the princess Yun ask, but just nodded: "Jingxi is not in the house?"
The princess looked at Princess Yun. Princess Yun was not very close to Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin, and she rarely took the initiative to intervene on weekdays.
"Jingxi has been recuperating in another hospital these days."
Concubine Yun glanced at the princess when she heard the words, then she said nothing, bowed her head to drink tea.
The princess sat with Concubine Yun for a while, and someone came in outside to report that Miss Yun was here.
Princess Yun nodded: "Let her come in."
The princess frowned slightly, and quickly let go, sitting there without speaking.
Concubine Yun said to the princess: "I told her that I came back today."
The princess wants to ask, even my daughter-in-law did not receive the exact news of your return to the house today, but your niece was notified by you instead? The princess didn't know what medicine was sold in the Yun Toffee gourd.
In fact, because of Concubine Yun's cold temperament, the princess and her were not close. However, since she married the King of Yanbei and became the Princess of Yanbei, Princess Yun has never interfered in the palace's internal affairs in the past few years, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never had any conflicts.
The princess knew that Concubine Yun treated Yun Qiuchen very differently. She used to think it was nothing. After all, Yun Qiuchen was Concubine Yun's niece and her own niece, but now the princess felt a little worried. RS
