Vol 2 Chapter 404: Propose marriage

Many people are still sighing for the fate of Princess Jiayi, thinking that when Concubine Wan was still alive, Princess Jiayi, as the most beloved granddaughter of the noble concubine, could be said to be the most beloved granddaughter of the noble concubine, but she did not want to end up with a rough fate.
But some people in Yanzhou don't think so.
Rumor has it that although Princess Jiayi married only the son of a merchant, he has a deep affection and harmony with her husband and wife. Although the husband of Jiayi County lord is not very good, he is a well-known talent in Yanbei, with outstanding talents and appearance. He is a gentleman specially hired by Yunyang Academy and has an official position. Princess Jiayi has now separated from his family with her husband. Strictly speaking, the daughter of Princess Jiayi is no longer the daughter of a merchant.
All in all, because of the second son of the Xiao family’s courtship, everyone in the world has turned their attention to the family of the Jiayi princess, which has been unknown for more than ten years, but the person concerned has not realized it, because the officers and soldiers guarding the Ren family have not been withdrawn, and they have been properly isolated. The prying eyes of the world.
Therefore, when the matchmaker from the Yanbei Palace came to the door, Ren Shimin and Li still couldn't respond. The person who was commissioned by the Yanbei Palace to speak for the matchmaker was still a big figure, Xu Wanli, the head of the Yunyang Academy. What's even more unexpected is that even though the people who came to propose and protect the media were both big shots, the Ren family didn't agree with them. Xu Wanli and Ren Shimin talked for a long time in the study, and finally Ren Shimin sent Xu Shanchang out respectfully.
Ren Shimin’s attitude has left many people confused. It stands to reason that although Xiao Jingxi is not in good health, he is now not only the second son of the Yanbei Palace, but as the next eldest son of the Yanbei Palace, Miss Ren Jia is a high climber. Yes, and the marriage between the Ren family and the Yanbei Palace is actually equivalent to the marriage between the Yanbei Palace and the Xian Palace, which is of great significance.
However, many people secretly applauded Ren Shimin. Look, this is the integrity and celebrity style of a real scholar. Whether it is the Yanbei Palace or the Xian Palace, no one's face will be sold. Because of Ren Shimin's attitude, the world's evaluation of him is much higher. It's no wonder that since the allusion of "three visits to the thatched cottage", scholars have dreamed that they and the superiors will come to a drama that you ask me to refuse, and they are worth pretending to be like this.
However, the world really misunderstood Ren Shimin. Master Ren did not agree to the proposal of the Yanbei Palace not because of the scholar's nobleness.
After sending Xu Wanli away, he went to the main room to discuss with Li, with a look of entanglement: "I heard that the second son of Xiao is not in good health."
Li also looked embarrassed: "Then this marriage... or push it."
Pity the parents of the world, the reason why Ren Shimin and his wife refused to agree to the marriage of the Yanbei Palace was not that complicated.
At this time, Li received a letter from his mother, Rong. Li thought it must be for the proposal of Yanbei Palace, which was indeed the case. However, in the letter, Rong did not express opposition or approval to this marriage, but let Li and Ren Shimin decide for themselves, and reminded her to ask Ren Yaoqi what she meant. Li thought for a while, and told Ren Shimin to Rong's letter.
Ren Shimin also thought for a while, and made people call Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi already knew about the Yanbei Prince's coming to propose marriage before he was called by Ren Shimin and Li. After all, what happened to the Ren family could hardly be kept from her.
Ren Yaoqi's mood is also a bit complicated, especially when her parents talked about the marriage of the Yanbei Palace, their worried and reluctant expressions.
In fact, it stands to reason that this kind of thing is not in Ren Yaoqi's turn to take charge, but Ren Shimin's free and easy temperament is not constrained by etiquette, and Li has become accustomed to listening to his daughter, and Rong's letter asks them to ask Ren Yaoqi. Own opinion.
Ren Shimin said to Ren Yaoqi: "Although I haven't seen the second son a few times, I heard that he is also a rare talent with both appearances, but it is a pity..." If it weren't for Xiao Jingxi's physical weakness, Ren Shimin might So he complied. His son-in-law's request has always been only one, and that is outstanding literary talent. However, when facing the relationship of his most beloved youngest daughter, Ren Shimin had to be tacky and cautious.
Li also said, "What I meant with your father, this marriage was still pushed."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
While Ren Yaoqi was thinking about how to answer, Xi'er reported outside: "Master, madam, the carriage of the Yanbei Palace has arrived at the door."
It is said that after Xu Wanli left the Ren family, he went to the Yanbei Prince's Mansion, and confessed his visit to the Ren family today to the Yanbei King and Xiao Jingxi.
Hearing that Master Ren did not respond, King Yanbei was still a little surprised, but Xiao Jingxi looked calm.
After Xu Wanli went out, King Yanbei glanced at his son and coughed softly: "Or..."
Xiao Jingxi recovered his senses and looked at King Yanbei.
King Yanbei paused, then stood up and patted Xiao Jingxi on the shoulder. This comforting action was fought by the soldiers all the year round. The strong King Yanbei was very open and close when he did it. Most people said that they would not want to be caught. He got down on the fan.
"Don't care, why don't you have a wife!" King Yanbei, who is not very good at words, patted his son on the shoulder, and dryly explained.
Xiao Jingxi gave his father a helpless look, and let down Wang Yanbei's hand consciously.
"Should I ask Sheng Shihong to come to mention it again?" King Yanbei made an idea.
Xiao Jingxi shook his head and was about to speak. King Yanbei said again: "That girl really doesn't like you and it's okay. This king has ordered to marry, see who dares not to marry!" The king Yanbei was majestic and majestic. Exposed domineering.
Xiao Jingxi pressed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Father..."
"son?"
"The son has to care about this matter, and the father doesn't need to worry about it." Xiao Jingxi said sincerely.
King Yanbei still had some thoughts still unfinished: "Then how? You are my son, and you will be the eldest son of the Yanbei Palace. Your marriage is a big deal! Our Yanbei Palace has always beaten the world with fists. You actually... "
"Father, it may not be anymore." Xiao Jingxi interrupted Wang Yanbei's words gently with a smile.
"What might not be?" King Yanbei closed the conversation, somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Jingxi patiently explained: "I may not be the elder son of Yanbei Palace."
King Yanbei was stunned, and the expression on his face became serious. King Yanbei, who was no longer gagging, had a bit of murderous air on his face. This is the real King Yanbei who crosses the northern frontier, not a man. The father of the son's parents: "Could it be that there are other moths in the capital?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled: "Zhao is pregnant."
King Yanbei raised his eyebrows: "When did it happen? Why did you say it now?"
"After the eldest brother's accident, Zhao was taken into the palace. It was said that he was afraid of the fetus's instability, so he didn't say anything.
King Yanbei was silent for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Jingxi: "So our palace wants to set up a milk doll to be his son?"
Xiao Jingxi didn't care: "Even if we don't stand, how can the court just let it go?"
King Yanbei touched his chin: "What if you are a granddaughter? Come and be your son?"
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help being amused and reminded the Yanbei King: "Did you allow Wu Xiaohe's posthumous child to be a daughter?"
King Yanbei was silent for a moment, then opened his lips and uttered a word gracefully: "Fuck!"
Xiao Jingxi turned a blind eye to his father's rudeness: "So, father, you have the more important thing to do next, the son's marriage. Don't worry about your son's marriage."
King Yanbei sighed and patted Xiao Jingxi on the shoulder again: "Son, it's useless to be a father. I'm wronged. Your brother will not be your turn when he is gone, and he will be the son of the future. His uncle, think about the fate of the high-ranking uncles of the emperors of the past. For the father, I feel very sad for you!"
Xiao Jing smiled: "Thank you father for remembering, so my son hopes that you will live a little longer, lest your son will be in a difficult situation in the hands of your nephew in the future."
King Yanbei laughed boldly: "It's easy to say! It's a big deal, Dad will leave you a suicide note or something, let you be an uncle regent, come to hold the emperor to make the princes."
After the father and son made fun of you and me, Xiao Jingxi left the study and went to Jiuyang Palace to find the princess.
On the second day, the princess's frame went to Aquarius Hutong in person.
Ren Yaoqi, who was talking with his parents in the main room, was stunned after hearing Xi'er's report. When he was thinking about who was coming from the palace, he heard the news that the princess had arrived.
Li Shi and Ren Shimin were both shocked when they heard this, and quickly went out to meet them.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and immediately pulled Li and Ren Shimin and confessed in a low voice: "I may not be able to be there later. If the princess mentions... the marriage, father and mother should come down."
Ren Yaoqi knew that Ren Shimin and Li's refusal to mention the Yanbei Palace was for her sake, but outsiders would not understand it. It would be no good to be said to be ignorant of praise. The princess came to the door in person, and this marriage should not be worth it, not to mention that Ren Yaoqi had a tacit understanding with Xiao Jingxi.
Li and Ren Shimin still hesitated. Ren Yaoqi could only say: "Father and mother, my daughter does not oppose this marriage."
The princess's car had already arrived at the door, and it was too late to delay. After Ren Yaoqi said this sentence, he helped Li to follow Ren Shimin and went out.
This time the princess came to the door and the pomp was not very big. There were only a few carriages and a few horse-riding guards behind. She did not wait for her family to meet at the gate, but waited at the second door. The meaning of closeness can be seen in these small details, and even the Li clan is aware of the princess's accommodating attitude.
Ren Shimin took his wife and daughter to the second door to greet the princess. The princess held on to the Li who was going to salute, and nodded to Ren Shimin, only to accept the gift of Ren Yaoqi.
"The princess doesn't need to be polite, I just came to see you and Yaoqi today." The princess smiled and said.
