Vol 2 Chapter 474:

Apart from being puzzled by King Yanbei's decision, the world also secretly observed the attitude of Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Xiao family. It is well known that although the second son of Xiao is not in good health, when the king of Yanbei is not in Yunyang City, it is basically the son of Yanbei who is presiding over the affairs of Yanbei. Now the king of Yanbei is silent. It was given to the grandson who was far away in the stable. Could this second son with real power in his hands be convinced? Many people in Yanbei began to worry that there would be suspicion between the king and his son because of this.
Some people also began to suspect that King Yanbei’s decision was really helpless. The second son of Xiao’s physical condition might be bad. In order to avoid a passive situation, King Yanbei had to use his grandson to make a fuss, otherwise Xiao Er. As soon as the prince catches the matter, the side of Yanbei King's concubine Xiao Heng may take this opportunity to rise. It is of course more beneficial to establish his own grandson as the son of the world rather than let Xiao Heng's side take advantage of it.
And in the next period of time, Xiao Er Young Master really showed up less in front of others. Although Xiao Jingxi rarely appears in the sight of everyone on weekdays, he usually participates in some important political affairs of Yanbei. Even if he does not come out in person, relevant official documents will pass his hand. However, since the King of Yanbei asked to make Xiao Weiyong his son, Xiao Jingxi almost disappeared in Yanbei, and even the confidants of Yanbei Palace had no chance to see him again.
As a result, more and more people believed that Young Master Xiao was seriously ill.
However, the Yanbei Palace has always kept a secret about Xiao Jingxi's condition. King Yanbei's face is also very ugly for a while, so most people don't dare to listen to him. As for the inside of the Yanbei Palace, they can't detect anything, only know that Xiao Jingxi seems to have been staying in his yard. When going out, although there are doctors going in and out of Zhaoning Hall, the second son of Xiao usually asks for a pulse every two or three days when he is fine, and the smell of medicine in the yard is constant.
There are many speculations about Yanbei Palace and Xiao Jingxi outside. Xiao Er Gongzi himself had a very relaxed and comfortable these few days. At this time, he and Ren Yaoqi were in the study to watch the paintings and calligraphy he has collected over the years.
Xiao Er Gongzi is a person with a wide range of hobbies, although painting and calligraphy are not the biggest interest among his many hobbies. But his collection is quite a lot, at least compared to Master Ren, who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting. The treasures in hand are not inferior.
Ren Yaoqi took out the paintings and calligraphy collected by Xiao Jingxi one by one, and couldn't help but be amazed from time to time.
Xiao Jingxi sat next to Ren Yaoqi and looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile. Ren Yaoqi looks at paintings, he looks at people.
Since the two got married, Xiao Jingxi has been busy every day because of the eventful autumn in Yanbei. This is the first time they have had such a lot of time to spend leisurely together after they became a couple.
Ren Yaoqi turned up a painting and exclaimed: "You actually have a collection of Tang Miao's lady pictures! My father's two favorite portrait painters when he was young, one is Jiang Yuanyi. The other is Tang Miao."
Compared to Jiang Yuanyi, Tang Miao's paintings are even harder to get. First of all, because Tang Miao lived in a time far away from them, and secondly, the master left few works. Ren Shimin used to spend several years looking for Tang Miao's paintings at all costs, but unfortunately only one broken one was found in the end. Only half is left, and even trying to fix it has become a problem.
Xiao Jingxi hugged Ren Yaoqi's waist from behind, put his chin on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm worried about what gift my father-in-law can give him when he is born. Just give it this. A picture."
Ren Yaoqi's shoulders were aching and itchy. He couldn't help but hide, and smiled, "Well, he will definitely like it."
Seeing her turning back, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but lightly kissed her lips. Ren Yaoqi leaned in his arms, and his perfect profile face was slightly tilted to his head. Compared with the breath, the two did not speak for a while, but the atmosphere in the study was very sweet.
"My father-in-law likes it, what about me?" Xiao Jingxi rubbed the tip of Ren Yaoqi's nose and whispered.
"Huh?" Ren Yaoqi blinked.
Xiao Jingxi kissed her and said aggrieved: "I didn't receive your gift when I was born. How can I compensate me?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned, "Didn't your birthday have passed?" Before the two of them were married.
Xiao Jingxi didn't speak, but just looked at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't bear his look the most. Even though she knew that Xiao Jingxi was probably deliberately pretending, she still compromised: "Then what do you want?"
A smile appeared on Xiao Jingxi's face, dazzling Ren Yaoqi's eyes. He thought for a while, and then whispered a few more words in Ren Yaoqi's ear.
Ren Yaoqi heard that his face flushed uncontrollably, gave Xiao Jingxi a shameful look, and turned his head to ignore him.
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi's attention had been drawn to that Xie again, Xiao Jingxi rubbed her neck with the tip of his nose, while still asking nonchalantly: "Can it work? Can it work?"
Ren Yaoqi was so annoyed by him that he raised his hand and pushed him, blushing and angrily said: "No! What messy things you think about every day!"
Xiao Jingxi was not annoyed when he heard the words, but looked at her with a smile, and turned Ren Yaoqi's head too far.
Finally, Xiao Jingxi sighed, "Well, just forget it. Then I want the same thing?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him obliquely: "Which?" If Xiao Jingxi is not serious anymore, Ren Yaoqi decides to get up and leave.
Xiao Jingxi seemed to see what Ren Yaoqi was thinking in her heart, put her hand around her waist, and smiled: "Aren't you good at painting? Give me a picture."
Ren Yaoqi thought that this would be easy to handle, so he nodded: "Okay, what to draw?"
Xiao Jingxi blinked, and then said: "Just draw me."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard the words, and hesitated: "I rarely paint characters." And...Although she has always been confident in her painting skills, she is not confident that she can paint Xiao Jingxi's charm.
Xiao Jingxi said, "It's okay, I just want to see me in your eyes."
Ren Yaoqi was a little embarrassed when he heard that, and felt that Xiao Jingxi must be teasing her again. When he was about to get angry, he saw that Xiao Jingxi's ears were also a little red, although he still looked calm and teased. I don't know why, Ren Yaoqi thinks Xiao Jingxi like this is very cute, so she swallowed it with mouthful refusal and nodded in response.
Xiao Jingxi smiled at her, and then pulled her up. When Xiao Jingxi was about to rub the ink for Ren Yaoqi, Tongxi came in: "Master, I wish you Lords are back."
Ren Yaoqi was happy when he heard that, Zhu Ruomei was back? She looked at Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi raised her eyebrows: "Here are people?"
Tong Xi looked at Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi, his eyes rolled, and he took the initiative to say: "Here, but now I've been outside with Master Mu and the others for a long time. How about letting him come again after an hour?"
Xiao Jingxi was about to agree, but Ren Yaoqi gently tugged at his sleeve and took the initiative: "I'm a little tired, go back and rest first." Zhu Ruomei has been away for a few months and is back now. There must be something important to report to Xiao Jingxi, and Ren Yaoqi does not want to delay Xiao Jingxi's business.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought about it, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will go over to eat with you when I see him."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and left the study.
After Ren Yaoqi came out of the study, he went to Jiuyang Temple.
In the Jiuyang Hall, the princess was receiving some face-to-face ladies. When Ren Yaoqi entered, the ladies quickly got up and saluted.
The princess recruited Ren Yaoqi to her side and asked softly, "Did you drink the medicine?"
Ren Yaoqi felt that although the ladies did not deliberately look here, their attention was on the conversation between her and the princess.
Ren Yaoqi nodded lightly and gave a vague "um".
The princess sighed slightly, let her sit next to her, and then spoke to the ladies again.
Ren Yaoqi listened attentively for a while, and found that although the ladies did not blatantly inquire about Yanbei Wang Li's son, they would still be in the middle of the conversation to inquire about the news, and the princess sent them back one by one.
After the ladies left, Ren Yaoqi asked, "These are from Shunzhou?" She heard them speak with an accent from Shunzhou.
The princess nodded and pressed her eyebrows tiredly: "Well, many people have come to Yunyang City these days."
Ren Yaoqi also knew that Xiao Jingxi was free now, but the princess was busy a lot. She got up and walked to the side of the princess: "Mother, let me press it for you."
Seeing that the princess did not object, Ren Yaoqi massaged her acupuncture points on her head that could relieve fatigue.
When the princess was more comfortable, he patted her hand gently: "Well, don't feel sore in a while, come and sit down."
Ren Yaoqi pressed the button again, and then sat down beside the princess.
The princess gave her a smile: "Who did you learn this hand from? It's really useful."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "I learned it from my mother when I was at home."
The princess was a little surprised when she heard that, she didn't expect that Li would still serve people.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and did not explain.Her mother's temperament is soft but she still has the arrogance of the Li family. Naturally, she does not bother to learn about serving people, but there is an exception, that is, as long as her father needs it, she All learn, and learn well.
The princess didn't ask too much. She took a sip of tea and thought about it before she said: "The people who have entered the mansion these few days are basically here for the new feudal son."
Ren Yaoqi was not surprised when he heard this.
Every time there is a change of power, it is when the people below stand in line. Although Yanbei's situation is relatively good, there are still some people who can't sit still, but those who can't sit still are far away from the power center. The family, at least the big families in Yunyang City and some of the best families in other states, have recently ceased, and there has been no movement.
The author seemed to owe two more last month and didn't make up?
Originally, I wanted to save some manuscripts in advance because I was going to travel on the 3rd of this month, and the return date was uncertain, but I didn't save it.
I will continue to update as much as possible during the time I go out, and continue to work hard for continuous improvement this month...I hope I can persist until the end of the month...〒_〒
