Vol 2 Chapter 455: Two grandmothers

King Yanbei looked at his birth mother, Princess Yun.
Concubine Yun was silent for a while, and then asked the old concubine: "What do you mean...does the rules mean that the older the better?"
The old princess looked at Concubine Yun, thinking that Concubine Yun wanted to sing her against her, and sneered: "This is the filial piety that future generations should do! There is nothing good or bad, only what should be done! People like us , The rules should be bigger than the sky."
Concubine Yun couldn't see any displeasure on the face of the old princess's cynicism, she just said coldly: "What you said makes sense, but you may not know the original clan rules of the Xiao family."
Concubine Yun's words made everyone stunned. The old princess especially disliked Concubine Yun's attitude of not putting people in his eyes, and said at one point: "What do you mean? I don't know, do you know?"
Concubine Yun said in a hurry: "I do know that before you enter the Xiao family's family rules, the family rules of the Xiao family are that you can enter the family tree if you have a son, not when you have a child. So if you follow You said that the sooner the rules are set, the better, then she is not the only one who shouldn't be on the genealogy."
Concubine Yun made her face pale with anger, and she slapped the table on the spot: "Nonsense! Lord, you let your biological mother slander your aunt like this? Are the rules of the Yanbei Palace still there? Up?"
King Yanbei was named innocently and blinked: "Huh? Aren't we discussing the new daughter-in-law's entry into the genealogy?"
Concubine Yun said in a low voice: "It's just a matter of fact, why should you take his anger. What if I am the birth mother? I am not you who is going to guard the mausoleum of the old prince. What else are you dissatisfied with? To be with the old prince? We are now talking about family rules. The reason why you were able to enter the family tree of the Xiao family back then was because of your different status. Later, the old prince simply changed the family rules and changed it to just having a child. Enter the genealogy. If you don’t believe it, go and read the old rules of the Xiao family decades ago to see if I bluffed you?"
The old princess was so speechless by Princess Yun that she almost rolled her eyes with anger.
I don't know how many times this kind of thing happened when these two people were in the same room for decades, so it's no surprise that the people of the Xiao family are not surprised when the two people suddenly get along with each other.
Seeing that the atmosphere was going to froze, Xiao Jingxi looked at his mother.
The princess came out calmly to complete the game: "Speaking of which, no one's clan rules are static. These are old things, and I won't mention them today."
Concubine Yun didn't say anything, but the old princess couldn't sit down here anymore, and stood up: "I shouldn't be here today! If you have anything to do with your family, decide on your own!" After that, she walked away.
The princess hurriedly called out to stay, but the old princess had already left the side hall, and the princess looked at the princess.
At this time, Princess Yun also stood up and said: "If you have something to decide, I will drink this cup of tea next time." After finishing speaking, Princess Yun left without waiting for the princess to speak.
Ren Yaoqi stood below and watched. She was a junior and a bride, and she didn't have the right to talk to gods in fights. However, looking at the back of Princess Yun getting up and leaving, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help thinking.
It seemed that Concubine Yun was cold and indifferent to everyone. Even when she went to guard the mausoleum for the old prince, she seemed to be dissatisfied with King Yanbei, but Concubine Yun was at the right time. Relieved them, because the only person present was able to face up with the old princess, Yun Taifei.
In addition, the purpose of Princess Yun’s departure is different from that of the old princess. The old princess was offended by the princess Yun, but the princess Yun was just because of the old princess’s sentence, "What is the matter, your family decide for yourself!"
If Concubine Yun did not leave, then the accusation that the old princess had been angered away by their uniting would be affirmed, and she would not have to be embarrassed if she also left King Yanbei. It seems to outsiders that this is just another breath of East Palace and West Palace.
All the people present were silent for a while, and then King Yanbei said, "The two elders are getting older and they have all been sitting for a while. Their tea will be served again another day. What should you do now? On the genealogy. What a big deal!"
Xiao Jingyue grinned and said, "Is the grandmother no matter what?"
King Yanbei glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to do? Exclude your grandmother's name from the genealogy?"
Xiao Heng hurriedly stopped Xiao Jingyue in a low voice, and apologized to King Yanbei: "His child is ignorant, and his speech has never been blocked. Please forgive him."
Xiao Jingyue also obediently apologized following his father's words: "Yes, uncle, my nephew has always been outspoken and can't speak his mind. Don't be like me."
King Yanbei looked at them and smiled meaningfully: "Naturally, this king will not be angry with juniors, but Jingyue, your kid is not young anymore. You are about to get married and start a business. You should also pay attention to your words and actions on weekdays. The elders at home can tolerate you. If you go out of this door, you also represent our Yanbei Palace. If you commit a mess, then seek elders to tolerate you. That is not good."
Xiao Heng looked terrified when he heard the words, and tentatively asked, "Why did the prince say this? But what idiot did he do outside, and someone came to you to complain?"
King Yanbei said, "I’m not reminding him? His temperament is really worrying. Don’t wait until you have committed an irreparable thing to know that you are wrong. You have to treat your son as a father. It’s a snack."
Xiao Heng responded quickly. Seeing that Xiao Jingyue seemed to still want to speak, Xiao Heng gave him a vicious look in secret, and Xiao Jingyue shrugged and finally became honest.
As soon as Xiao Jingyue was honest, the next step was much smoother, and no one would stir up this confession ceremony.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi first offered tea to the prince and concubine, and received two big red seals. After that, Ren Yaoqi and the people in the second room of the Xiao family met by seniority, and Xiao Heng and his wife also gave gifts. The Xiao family's population is fairly simple, and this confession ceremony was quickly completed.
Later, under the approval of the prince, Ren Yaoqi's name was successfully added to the family tree of the Xiao family. Both the old concubine and the concubine Yun were not there, and the eldest one was the king of Yanbei, so naturally he had the final say.
Except for the unpleasant one at the beginning, the morning passed smoothly, at least Ren Yaoqi became the wife of the Yanbei Palace.
After coming out of the Chengde Hall, the prince said to Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi: "You go and offer a cup of tea to the concubine and her old man, and talk to her before going back."
Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi agreed, and the prince and princess returned to the Jiuyang Palace 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 were going to offer tea to Concubine Yun. Will she go with her? Appropriately, with Xiao Jingxi accompanied today, Xiao Jinglin is not worried that Ren Yaoqi will be wronged.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and nodded: "Okay, you go back first, and I will find you later." The second son of Xiao felt that when he was not in the house, his wife and sister could stay together to be company, and Xiao Jinglin could also Protecting Ren Yaoqi will not suffer. After all, it is impossible for the princess to keep Ren Yaoqi by her side from time to time, and it is not appropriate for the prince to always go to Jiuyang Palace at home for Ren Yaoqi.
Xiao Jinglin nodded and left first.
Xiao Jingxi simply let the maids who followed them all retreat, and went to the Lanxiu Palace of Yun Taifei, just like the two of Ren Yaoqi.
Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and asked quietly, "Are you tired?"
Originally, Ren Yaoqi wanted to answer that he was not tired, but suddenly remembered the joke in the boudoir of the two before, and he couldn't say it, just glared at Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "What do you stare at me for? I just want to say that there is still some distance from Lanxiao Palace. I ask if you want to take a soft sedan chair."
Ren Yaoqi went his own way and ignored him.
Xiao Jingxi followed and said softly: "Are you really angry?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him: "No."
Xiao Jingxi stretched out her hand and quietly hooked her finger. Ren Yaoqi was a little unaccustomed to avoid it, 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 Lanxiao Hall.
When he was approaching the gate of the palace, before Ren Yaoqi could speak, Xiao Jingxi took the initiative to let her go.
Concubine Yun was in the small Buddhist hall of Lanxiu Hall, and she came out when she heard that they had come.
I heard that the junior came to offer tea to her, and Princess Yun didn’t say anything. She ordered two bowls of hot tea to be brought up. When they served the tea, she didn’t make trouble to drink it. The maid took out the red seal that had been prepared early in the morning and gave them one for each.
After that, Concubine Yun had nothing to say. It was Xiao Jingxi who was speaking. Ren Yaoqi sometimes added a sentence or two. Concubine Yun was listening, and occasionally nodded, and simply responded a few times to express herself. Listening.
"Have you gone to Shou'an Hall?" Princess Yun asked suddenly.
Xiao Jing said in the west: "Not yet, you are closer here, so I came to Lanxi Hall first."
Concubine Yun nodded: "Then you go to the Shou'an Temple, there is nothing wrong with me."
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "It's still early. Let's talk to you again. I heard that you want someone to copy the Buddhist scriptures. In the Yaoqi period, her writing can still meet people. Let her write a few for you. If you are satisfied, let her copy it for you? There is nothing wrong with her."
This is not Xiao Jingxi's own opinion. They have already talked about this topic on their way here, and Ren Yaoqi has no opinion.
Ren Yaoqi also knew that it was important to live peacefully with Concubine Yun in the Yanbei Palace. After all, it was only Concubine Yun that could blatantly face the old princess on occasions like today. The premise is that Princess Yun has to be willing to protect you.
Concubine Yun glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought about it, and said,
I don’t need to write. I saw her writing during the last daughter-in-law banquet. It was very good. But the most important thing about copying Buddhist scriptures is not whether the characters are good or not. It is sincere and not sincere, and understands the meaning of Buddha."
Ren Yaoqi said modestly: "The grand-daughter-in-law is dull and dare not say that she understands the meaning of the Buddha. She has only read the basic Buddhist scriptures, and she is sincere.
Concubine Yun said in a low voice, "If you are still dull, there will be no smart person."
Ren Yaoqi's performance at the Golden Banquet last time is still fresh in everyone's memory, and the same goes for Princess Yun. Xiao Jingxi's combination of ability and political integrity proved at least half of it.
Xiao Jingxi was very happy about the outright praise of Concubine Yun, and smiled at Ren Yaoqi.
"Which scriptures have you been familiar with? Tell me about it." Princess Yun asked.
Concubine Yun was talking about familiar reading, and Ren Yaoqi thought about it before telling her a few scriptures she remembered relatively well.
Concubine Yun nodded, said several other scriptures, and asked, "What about these?"
Ren Yaoqi implicitly said: "Read it several times."
Concubine Yun glanced at Ren Yaoqi and asked her a few questions. Ren Yaoqi answered them one by one based on memory.
Concubine Yun waved her hand and frowned slightly: "Okay, I'm more familiar with it."
Ren Yaoqi stopped talking, and Xiao Jingxi was smiling.
Concubine Yun said: "Come here tomorrow afternoon. Just copy half an hour a day. If there is something on the day, let someone come over and say it. You don't have to come."
Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head in response.
Concubine Yun glanced at Xiao Jingxi: "I won't keep you for dinner, you can go to Shou'an Hall."
This time Xiao Jingxi obeyed Mrs. Yun's words and took Ren Yaoqi to stand up and leave.
After the two came out of the Shou'an Hall, Xiao Jingxi saw Ren Yaoqi thoughtful and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and said honestly: "Thinking about Taifei, her old man doesn't seem to be that difficult to approach." It's just that she doesn't like her granddaughter very much, but it's a good thing that she is not embarrassed.
Xiao Jingxi smiled: "Well, you are so good, you should be liked by everyone."
The second son of Xiao's realm of talking about love is about to reach its peak, so the talent is perfect. Smart people understand everything quickly and don't need to be taught.
Ren Yaoqi was blushed by Xiao Jingxi's praise.
The two walked to the entrance of Shou'an Temple. This time they did not go directly in. Instead, they asked people to report to the entrance, and then obediently waited for instructions at the door.
Before long, the mother in the old princess's yard came out and said apologetically to the two of them: "The old princess felt a little uncomfortable just after coming back. Why don't you come back another day?"
Xiao Jingxi asked, "Have you seen the doctor? Let's go in and visit the doctor."
The mother said hurriedly: "No need, no, the old princess has already fallen asleep. It's just an old problem. She has just taken a dose of the medicine prescribed by the doctor before. You can get better after a nap. You two should go back. ."
Xiao Jingxi asked a few more, and insisted on a few more, but was rejected. In the end, he could only take Ren Yaoqi away with regret and disappointment.
In fact, they all know that the old princess is unlikely to see them today, but seeing or not is one thing, whether or not they come is another matter.
After the two left the Shou'an Temple, they planned to go back. Halfway through, their subordinates reported the matter to Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi had to send Ren Yaoqi to Xiao Jinglin first, so he went to work on business first. RS
