Chapter 189: Confrontation

After Ren Yaoqi came out of the Shou'an Hall, Hong Ying, who was waiting outside, greeted him.
After hearing that the princess was left alone by the old princess, Hong Ying led Ren Yaoqi to the Jiuyang Palace, thinking whether she was going to inform the princess and let her pick the princess back.
Hongying is not afraid that the princess will suffer a big loss. Although Xiao Jinglin is cold and doesn't like to talk very much, she is not a loser. Hongying is afraid that her princess will finally be unwilling to bear it, and then the princess will suffer. The princess of her family was forced to go back to Jiajing Pass regardless of her urgency, but the princess wanted to stay in the palace.
When I went to the Shou’an Temple before, I didn’t think that after I came out, Ren Yaoqi discovered that the Shou’an Temple was more like a courtyard in the south. There were a lot of huāhuā for decoration, and there seemed to be some artificial rocks behind the palace.
After leaving the Shou'an Temple, the buildings that I saw were more solemn and magnificent at first glance, with thick trees everywhere, and often I could not see the sky but the lush branches and leaves.
A person suddenly walked over under the green shade in front of him, and the mottled shade cast on him, making his body almost submerged in the dark shadow, making it difficult to see his appearance, but this person’s gestures Can easily attract others' attention, it is impossible to ignore him.
In this world, some people are born to be luminous bodies.
Ren Yaoqi recognized it almost at the same time he saw the incoming person. When he walked in, Qingjun's appearance finally became clear.
Ren Yaoqi constricted his eyes and bowed his knees: "Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Jingxi stopped, looked at Ren Yaoqi for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Jinglin is still in the Shouan Hall?"
"The old princess and Mrs. Wu seemed to want to ask the princess what to say, so I came out first."
Xiao Jingxi was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Oh? But what about Yanbei military affairs?"
Ren Yaoqi subconsciously paid attention to the surroundings after hearing this. Xiao Jingxi had come alone, and only Apple and Hongying were next to her. No wonder he asked so directly.
After thinking for a while, Ren Yaoqi said, "Ms. Wu mentioned the invasion of party members. This is a matter of the family and the country. It is not convenient for me to be present, so Mrs. Wu let me out."
Xiao Jingxi thoughtfully, and then said casually: "There were a few small battles in the West a few days ago."
Speaking of this, Xiao Jingxi said something, and looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile: "My aunt is afraid that she is coming back to borrow troops. In your opinion, should the Yanbei Palace be appropriate?"
Ren Yaoqi resisted the urge to roll his eyes. The army was almost hidden by you. Obviously you don't want to borrow it yourself. What kind of big tail wolf is pretending to be a shameless question now!
"Second Young Master Xiao was joking. I am just a superficial boudoir and don't understand this." Ren Yaoqi's expression remained unchanged.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at her with a smile but didn't embarrass her anymore.
"I'll bring Jinglin back." Xiao Jingxi moved a small step aside, letting Ren Yaoqi go first.
Ren Yaoqi gave a salute, but when he passed by, he paused and turned his head and whispered: "Young Master Xiao, I heard that the party members invaded many racecourses in Ningxia and suffered losses. I don’t know the Su’s family. How about several racecourses?"
When Xiao Jingxi heard the words, the surprise in his eyes flashed away, then he smiled slowly, and looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "The Su family is fine."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard that Mrs. Wu has a good relationship with Mrs. Su Jiada." She said this sentence very lightly and slowly, but her tone was sure.
Xiao Jingxi didn't say a word, but the gaze looking at Ren Yaoqi didn't mean anything.
Ren Yaoqi looked at him for a moment, Xiao Jingxi's dark and bright eyes seemed to contain some kind of magic power, which could people in.
Ren Yaoqi opened his eyes first, nodded, and walked straight away.
Xiao Jingxi looked at her back, the look in his eyes was indistinguishable, suddenly he shook his head and laughed, and muttered softly: "How could there be such a thing in this world..."
The last few words were extremely light and disappeared between his lips and tongue.
Ren Yaoqi walked far, far away from Xiao Jingxi's sight before he suddenly stopped and breathed out, and then continued on without turning back.
She just hinted that Xiao Jingxi's Wu family was in collusion with the Su family, and that this party member's invasion might be related to the Su family.
Ren Yaoqi knew that he had taken risks by doing this, and such a thing was not something she could put her mouth on. However, she must use Xiao Jingxi's power to suppress Zeng Tan, who might enter Ningxia in the future and collude with the Su family.
Xiao Jinglin came back shortly after Ren Yaoqi returned to the Jiuyang Palace. Xiao Jinglin didn't mention much about Xiao Wei leaving her behind. She was as serious as usual when practicing piano.
Recently, because the princess asked Xiao Jinglin to learn some common affairs from the maid beside her, it was too early for Ren Yaoqi to leave from Yanbei Palace, and she declined Xiao Jinglin's offer to send her out in order to escape.
After coming out of Jiuyang Palace, Ren Yaoqi happened to collide with a group of people.
Wu Yiyu took a few maids and women hurriedly turned out from another road, and she also wanted to go to the outer hall. When Ren Yaoqi saw her, he stopped and let her go first.
Wu Yiyu paused when she walked past her, her gaze was a bit condescending, Ren Yaoqi smiled and bowed her head and stood aside.
Wu Yiyu snorted coldly, and walked away proudly, as if there was no time to embarrass her in an emergency.
Ren Yaoqi didn't care about her attitude, and deliberately slowed down a bit, and only followed her out after she had gone a little farther.
When he reached the place where the carriage was parked, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but have a meal.
She saw Wu Yiyu not far in front, and standing with Wu Yiyu were two Yun family brothers, Yun Wenting and Yun Wenfang.
Ren Yaoqi hasn't seen Yun Wenfang for some days. Yun Wenfang sent someone to give her something a while ago, but before he reported to her, he was blocked by the guarded parsley and called Miss Miss. Parsley, the first maid in front of us, always keeps in mind the purpose of sending her to Miss Fifth by her own lady, and is very dedicated. Ren Yaoqi also cooperated as if he didn't know anything, and didn't ask what Ren Yaoqi was sending.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, but decided to pretend that she didn't see anyone wanting to get on the carriage, not wanting Yun Wenfang to notice her a long time ago, and said before she got on the carriage, "Miss Ren Wu, please stay. ."
Ren Yaoqi sighed, and suddenly missed the celery maid. Parsley went to take care of Ren Yaohua in the Ren family courtyard.
Yun Wenfang walked over while talking. He had practiced Kung Fu, so he moved very fast. Ren Yaoqi wanted to pretend that he didn't hear him.
In the end, she could only let go of the maid’s hand and bowed her knees: "I have seen Young Master Yun."
Yun Wenfang looked at her a few times, curled her lips and smiled, but her tone was somewhat cold: "I won't stop you, do you think you haven't seen it?"
Ren Yaoqi bowed his head and said, "Young Master Yun is serious."
Yun Wen took two steps forward slowly, one step away from Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi wanted to retreat subconsciously, Yun Wenfang sneered when he saw her movements: "Try to retreat!"
Ren Yaoqi weighed the situation, thinking about Yun Wenfang’s temperament, and finally resisted not going back, but turned his body sideways, so that he and Yun Wenfang were no longer face-to-face, facing her with a side face to avoid Others feel ambiguous when they see them.
Yun Wenfang squinted at her and snorted, "Why don't you accept the painting I gave you?"
Only then did Ren Yaoqi know that Yun Wenfang gave her a painting last time.
"That's the authentic work of Wu Qinghong that I finally found for people. Don't you like his paintings very much?" Yun Wenfang said, becoming angry.
When did you think that Young Master Yun deliberately lowered his body to please others? Ren Yaoqi is the first one.
Young Master Yun is not used to doing this kind of thing, and he didn't bother doing it before. But when he went out for a drink with his brother last time, he heard several older boys at the table next to him say that women all want to coax. On weekdays you have to do what you like and give something away.
However, Ji Shangxiao, a young boy in Yun Er, knew little about this kind of thing. He didn't know that the women mentioned by the older teenagers were either the concubine in his home or the women in the Chu Hall outside the Qinlou.
After the second young master Yun returned to the house that day, he thought about what he would like to give away all night to make Ren Yaoqi like it. The second young master of gold and silver naturally disdain to give it away. Finally, I remembered that I had listened to the following when I was staying at the Yun family. People say that Ren Sanye and Miss Ren Wu asked people to collect paintings by the former painter Wu Qinghong.
The Second Young Master Yun asked his elder brother to look for the painting the next day, and finally borrowed the face of his father and brother to buy it from an uncle.
But what he didn't expect was that he hurriedly asked people to send her paintings. The person who sent the paintings to Yaoqi didn't even see him when he was re-elected, and was taunted and taunted by her maid.
Yun Wenfang was so angry that he felt that the girl Ren Yaoqi didn't know what to do. After all, he is a face-saving person. After putting his hot face on his cold ass, he no longer gives Ren Yaoqi anything, thinking about Ren Yaoqi or asking him to apologize after reflection.
It is a pity that ideals are good, but reality is terrible. He didn't see Ren Yaoqi again, but heard that Ren Yaoqi ran to the Yanbei Palace every day, and Yunwen couldn't sit still anymore.
Ren Yaoqi watched Yun Wenfang staring at her with unpredictable emotions, and realized that the young master was not very happy. Ren Yaoqi had a headache.
Just about to say something, Yun Wenting and Wu Yiyu came over there.
Ren Yaoqi then gave them a chance to see him and quietly moved a step aside.
Yun Wenting smiled politely and nodded. Wu Yiyu changed his usual domineering style and stood beside Yun Wenting with a gentle and frugal appearance, and his face was flushed with a little shame.
But when he saw Ren Yaoqi and Yun Wenfang, Wu Yiyu took time out of his busy schedule and looked back and forth thoughtfully, but did not speak.
When Ren Yaoqi was thinking about how to get out, Apple stood up, bowed her head and said blankly: "Miss, grandma aunty is looking for you in a hurry."
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly followed the pole and said, "There is still an urgent matter at home, I will go back first." He bowed his knees again and turned to leave.
I don't want Yun Wen to let his footsteps move, and he can stand in the way of Ren Yaoqi, and he doesn't speak, but just looks at her coldly.
Ren Yaoqi frowned and became a little angry. He took a deep breath and was about to speak, but a slightly smiling voice came from behind: "I heard that Zi Rui and Zi Shu are here, and the princess is waiting. After a long time without seeing anyone, let me come out and see, you are here."
Ren Yaoqi turned around and saw Ren Yaoqi standing not far behind them.
Seeing her looking over, his gaze paused slightly on her, then turned his eyes and smiled and said to Yun Wenting: "Wang Hao and Jing Lin are both waiting in Jiuyang Palace."
Yun Wenting came forward to meet Xiao Jingxi and smiled: "I'm about to go in, let my aunt wait for a long time, it's me and Zishu."
Xiao Jingxi exchanged a few words with Yun Wenting, and asked Yun Wenting to enter the inner hall. Seeing Yun Wenfang standing still in front of Ren Yaoqi, Xiao Jingxi turned his head and smiled slightly: "Zi Shu?"
Yun Wenfang looked at Xiao Jingxi and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yun Wenting: "Zi Shu, didn't you just say that you missed the cakes in the princess's small kitchen?" He looked at Yun Wenfang's gaze. It contained a bit of warning and sternness.
Yun Wenfang pursed his lips, took another look at Ren Yaoqi, clenched a fist, and finally gave way to follow Yun Wenting.
When Wu Yiyu walked to Ren Yaoqi's side, she looked at her several times, with suspicion and scrutiny in her eyes, Ren Yaoqi smiled without changing his face and nodded politely.
After all of them had left, Ren Yaoqi held the maid's hand in the carriage. As soon as the carriage curtain was lowered, the smile on Ren Yaoqi's face gradually faded, and a look of exhaustion appeared between his brows.
Ren Yaohua spent a few days in the other hospital, and the injury on his foot was almost healed. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Shijia visited her once before. On this day, Ren Yaoqi went to the other hospital to see her by himself without incident. By her time, Ren Yaohua was already able to walk on her own.
Seeing that Ren Yaohua's walking posture is no different from before, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I'm still thinking, what if you don't have a good time waiting for the golden feast."
Ren Yaoqi himself didn't have any thoughts about the golden banquet, but he hoped that Ren Yaohua could participate smoothly. Ren Yaohua has reached the age to talk about marriage. Ren Yaoqi hopes that Ren Yaohua can get rid of the fate of his previous life and find a suitable husband's family.
"Turnip pulled me when I fell, so the injury is not serious. Isn't it four or five days before the golden banquet?" Ren Yaohua ignored it, calling Ren Yaoqi to enter the house and sit.
"Did you have your clothes and jewelry ready when you came?" It is rare that the weather today is good, and Ren Yaohua's face looks good, so Ren Yaoqi started the routine with her.
Ren Yaohua shook his head: "Grandma is looking for someone to rush to make it. She said that she will send our sister's clothes in a few days."
Ren Yaoqi was too worried, and the Ren family also attached great importance to this time the Ren family girls can participate in the golden banquet. As soon as the old lady went back, she started to prepare outfits for her granddaughters.
At this time, a little maid entered the house and reported: "Miss, Miss Fifth, Miss Nine sent someone to ask if you want to travel with her."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua puzzledly.
Ren Yaohua sneered and said to Ren Yaoqi: "I haven't seen her so enthusiastic before, but I hurt my foot in the past few days. She came to invite me to go out." Turning his head to the maid and said, "No time, don't go!"
The maid was about to retreat when she heard the words, Ren Yaohua's eyes turned but she changed her mind again: "Wait, the weather is good today. Since the ninth sister is sincerely inviting, the fifth sister and I will give face."
Although the maid didn't know why Miss San suddenly changed her attention, due to Miss San's usual power, she immediately responded when Ren Yaohua's voice fell and hurried out to reply.
Ren Yaoqi said in surprise: "San Jie, are you really going to go out with them?"
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "Go, why not go. Didn't you ruin her mind if you didn't go?"
Ren Yaoqi said helplessly: "San Jie, your feet are just right, you should raise them again, so why bother with her for this moment."
Ren Yaohua glared at Ren Yaoqi: "Who is angry? I have been bored in the other yard for so long, so I can't go out for a walk? It will be difficult to go out after returning to Baihe Town."
Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to persuade her, but after hearing this sentence, he couldn't say it anymore. After all, Ren Yaohua is still a teenager, and no matter how stable or strong he is, he is just at the age of fun. In the previous life, she was designed to fall out of favor at Ren's family, and was detained in the yard all the year round. She rarely had the opportunity to go out.
So Ren Yaoqi stopped persuading him.
Ren Yaohua changed into a short coat with silver-red two-color gold embroidered butterflies and a huā pattern, with a silver-gray skirt. Ren Yaohua has a bright face and fair complexion. No matter what red she wears, she looks great. This dress makes people feel that the eyes are bright as soon as they are on the upper body.
Ren Yaoqi sincerely praised: "This suit fits you well." Then he couldn't help but joked, "No wonder you must go out. It's so good-looking. It's a waste not to go out to compare with others."
Ren Yaohua walked over with a cold face, and then took advantage of Ren Yaoqi's unpreparedness to reach out and slap her on the head, and then walked straight out around Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi held his head for a while, but it took a long time to realize that he was beaten again.
Ren Yaohua walked to the door and turned his head, cursing: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go!"
Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses and said angrily: "Sister, why are you hitting me again! I want to tell my mother!"
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi with contempt: "Look at what you are doing." Then he walked away proudly without waiting for Ren Yaoqi.
Xiangqin and Turnip looked back at Ren Yaoqi while covering their mouths.
When Ren Yaoying saw Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi coming out, no matter what she thought in her heart, she was still smiling when she came up.
"The third sister's feet are finally healed, and now I am relieved."
Ren Yaohua glanced at her and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Thank you for your concern, aren't you going to travel, let's go."
Madam Fang had already gotten into the carriage, Fang Shuzhou was waiting by the carriage, and there was a small servant leading the horse by her side, and she seemed to be going on horseback. Seeing that the Ren family sisters were coming, they came forward to see her.
Because Ren Yaohua was temporarily preparing to come, she hadn't prepared a carriage for her before, and it seemed that Ren Yaoying was hypocritical to invite people to make preparations. Fortunately, Mrs. Fang’s carriage is very large, so Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying got on the carriage of Mrs. Fang.
Seeing the two of them coming up, Madam Fang smiled and exchanged greetings with them. Ren Yaoqi was observing his words, but he could see that Madam Fang was a little absent-minded.
It seemed that this trip to Yanbei was not as smooth as Mrs. Fang thought, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile.
Ren Yaoqi was right in guessing, and Mrs. Fang has indeed not been very smooth recently.
Mrs. Lin San had been reluctant to see her since the last incident, and she didn't receive gifts in the past, and she said that she did not receive meritorious service, which was misleading. Naturally, Yuan Changshi couldn't get on the line anymore.
Next to the Yanbei Palace, she had met Princess Yanbei once under the introduction of her handkerchief. At that time, Princess Yanbei also said a few words to her and asked her a few questions. She could see Yanbei Princess Bei had a good impression of her.
But since then, she hasn’t had a chance to see the princess again, so she asked the princess to take a handkerchief and found nothing. Last time, there was news from the Yanbei Palace that the princess might be willing to meet her. Once, I didn't want to wait for a long time and still didn't see anyone.
As for the other big family members in Yanbei, she is also affectionate when visiting her house on weekdays, and she is willing to communicate with Jiangnan’s family, but it is not a matter of a day to run the network. If she cannot come to Yanbei in the end, these Favor will gradually fade.
Seeing that the day when she was going to go back was getting closer, the ancestor had already come several times, but she still hadn't made any progress here, and Madam Fang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Over there, Ren Yaoying was talking to Ren Yaoqi in a low voice: "It's been a while since the fifth sister came to Yunyang City? Have you been to Riyuequan?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I have heard of it before, but I have no chance to go. I heard that people in Yunyang City like to go to the nearby Zhuangzi to escape the cold in winter, but it's a pity when we come."
Riyuequan is a hot spring outside the city of Yunyang. Many people have built other courtyards around Riyuequan and introduced the water from Riyuequan. It is also warmer in winter.
Ren Yaoying smiled and said: "We are going to Riyuequan today. Mrs. Zhou has a dowry house nearby, so she specially invited her aunt. In fact, it is not only a good place in winter, but it is also not a good place to play in summer."
Mrs. Zhou is Liu’s handkerchief handkerchief. Mrs. Zhou’s husband worked as a [Book] reporter in the Yanbei Prince’s Mansion. Although he was only a low-ranking official, he was somewhat decent because he could show his face in the Prince’s study. .
With an inch of land near Riyue Spring, Mrs. Zhou’s dowry Zhuangzi is not very big, and it is a little far away from Riyue Spring, but this Zhuangzi is also a rare dignity given to her by her family.
The carriage stopped in front of Zhuangzi. A woman was waiting at the door long ago. Seeing that Liu took the Ren family sisters out of the car, she greeted them and led them in.
(To be continued
