Scheme of the Official Descendant

When the food was in front of her eyes, Ren Yaoqi realized that she was really hungry. She seriously ate two bowls of porridge, a basket of steamed dumplings, one and a half spring rolls, and some side dishes.

Just feeling a little full, Xiao Jingxi came back.

"Are you full?" Xiao Jingxi sat down beside Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi nodded, and then Xiao Jingxi took Ren Yaoqi's bowl and chopsticks, picked up the half of the leftover spring roll on her plate and ate it.

Sangshen, who was waiting on the side, quickly said: "The servant asked the kitchen to bring some more food."

Xiao Jingxi raised his head and smiled: "No need, I have to go out later, the table is enough for me to eat."

Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, and asked Sangsan and the others to retreat, then served Xiao Jingxi a bowl of porridge, sat there watching him eat, and served him vegetables.

It wasn't until Xiao Jingxi put down the chopsticks in his hand that Ren Yaoqi called the maid to come up and remove the dining table.

After eating, Xiao Jingxi didn't rush to leave immediately, but helped Ren Yaoqi to sit down on the Nankang, the two cuddled together silently, neither of them spoke.

"How's it going outside now?" Ren Yaoqi leaned against Xiao Jingxi's arms and asked softly, breaking the warm silence in the room.

"Xiao Heng's people have been cleaned up, and the troops outside the city have also retreated. Don't worry, it's all right now." Xiao Jingxi stroked Ren Yaoqi's cold and smooth hair, and said softly.

"Did you deliver a letter to Hezhong Palace?" Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and asked.

Ren Yaoqi paused, nodded and said: "I went into your study, checked your documents, and guessed that there might be a big move by the court, so... I don't know if I did the right thing, I'm sorry, this The second time I overstepped."

Xiao Jingxi tapped Ren Yaoqi's head lightly, and said with a smile, "Stupid! Who said you overstepped? I allowed you to enter my study. As long as this Yanbei Palace is anywhere I can go, you will I can go. What’s more, it’s thanks to your quick response this time. If it weren’t for the large-scale and frequent mobilization of the King of the River’s men and horses to frighten those people in the south, how many people surrounded Yunyang City today? Your move is so good! It's really indescribable. The group of people under my command said that I have no plans to spare. I didn't need to send out a single soldier from the Hezhong Palace to contain most of the troops in the south. The difficulty of Yanbei was solved. I am really ashamed Tell them, it's not because of how powerful I am, it's purely because I'm lucky enough to marry a very powerful wife."

He heard the banter in Xiao Jingxi's words. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being funny, and finally sighed: "I can't ask my grandfather to send troops to Yanbei blatantly, or even to avoid being criticized. Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao is not good, so I can only use deterrence. Thanks to those people in the south After staying in Ruanrou for a long time, my guts have been corroded."

No matter how close the relationship between Yanbei Palace and Hezhong Palace is, it is not easy for Hezhong Palace to send troops to Yanbei. This is a taboo thing. If the Hezhong Palace really sent people to surround the capital in order to understand the danger of Yanbei, in the eyes of the world, it would be the collusion between the Yanbei Palace and the Hezhong Palace, and the court would become famous instead. Yanbei Wangfu and Hezhong Wangfu have the upper hand in public opinion, and maybe they will give the Liao people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So Ren Yaoqi didn't ask the Hezhong Palace to send troops to help after thinking about it again and again, but asked the Hezhong Palace to make frequent mobilization of troops. Because the imperial court has always been concerned about the tiger in the Hezhong Palace, which is lying quietly at its feet for a while, and may jump up and threaten its life at any time. So he didn't dare to send all the troops to Yanbei to put all his eggs in one basket.

"What's going on in Ningxia?" Ren Yaoqi asked again.

Xiao Jingxi was surprised when he heard this: "Ningxia? What's wrong with Ningxia?"

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, looked at him and said, "Didn't you go to Ningxia to solve the Zeng family's affairs during the time you 'disappeared'?"

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help laughing, and sighed half-truthfully, "Yaoyao, if you were a man..."

Ren Yaoqi stopped talking when she heard Xiao Jingxi say this, and couldn't help asking curiously: "What if I was a man?"

Xiao Jingxi pretended to be frowning, and his face was full of embarrassment: "No, if you were a man, I would have to marry you in. It's just that this matter is more difficult..."

Ren Yaoqi blushed, and glared at him: "Nonsense." Although he said so, it is undeniable that Ren Yaoqi was still delighted.

Xiao Jingxi held her face and turned her head, kissed her on the face, and said with a smile: "I mean it. It's also fortunate that you are a daughter, otherwise the world would call me ridiculous .”

Ren Yaoqi pressed the back of her hand to her face, and said uncomfortably, "What's going on with the Zeng family now?"

Seeing that she was shy, Xiao Jingxi stopped teasing her, and continued to hug her and said, "Zeng's family... There is solid evidence that Zeng Teng colluded with the Liao people to set up an ambush to attack the second son of Yanbei Palace. So he, the general soldier, might not be able to do it." down."

Ren Yaoqi frowned: "Is it really related to the Zeng family that you were attacked in Wuzhou?"

Xiao Jingxi smiled indifferently when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter if it's related or not, but it's true that the Zeng family wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize power, but it didn't happen in the end. After this incident, the Di family's momentum in Ningxia rose sharply. It won't take long to replace the Wu family. Once the northwest is stable, so will the backyard of Yanbei."

Ren Yaoqi heard Xiao Jingxi say it easily, but she also knew that things were definitely not that simple. Although Ningxia is not a big place, the forces of various parties are very complicated. Xiao Jingxi took this opportunity to attack the Zeng family and support the Di family. It must have been weighed many times.

"Where are Zeng Yu and his son now?"

The Zeng family has always been a thorn in Ren Yaoqi's heart, and she knows better than anyone else that when facing people like Zeng Yu and Zeng Kui, either don't beat them, or beat them to death with a stick, otherwise The words will cause endless troubles. So even though he heard that the Zeng family had lost power in Ningxia, Ren Yaoqi still did not dare to take it lightly.

Apparently Xiao Jingxi, who has fought against the Zeng family several times, also understands this truth. Hearing this, he smiled reassuringly at Ren Yaoqi: "This time I cut off most of the wings of the Zeng family, and the rest will be handed over to the Di family. Come to deal with the aftermath, after all, it's Ningxia's business, I don't want to stretch out my hand blatantly. But don't worry, Zeng's father and son are now grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be jumping for long."

Seeing Xiao Jingxi speak so firmly, Ren Yaoqi felt a lot more at ease: "Where is Mrs. Wu?"

Ren Yaoqi remembered that Xiao Wei also gathered some forces that were always loyal to the Wu family, but most of these forces were lost after the birth of Wu Xiaohe's posthumous son. This woman is not smart, but her ambition is not small. Judging from the strength of controlling Ningxia, it may be difficult for her to cause another storm in Ningxia.

Although the King of Yanbei did not have much brother-sister affection for Xiao Wei, he always had some brother-sister friendship. Ren Yaoqi heard the princess mention before that the prince wanted to take Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu back to Yanbei Palace to accompany the old princess, and the old princess also mentioned Too many times. But now that the old concubine has died in Xiao Heng's hands, if Xiao Wei's mother and daughter come back, the Yanbei Palace may not be safe.

Personally, Ren Yaoqi didn't want Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu to come back, the mother and daughter were too noisy and had bad intentions.

Xiao Jingxi seemed to understand what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wu's son is in Ningxia, so naturally she can't stay too far away. Although the young master of the Wu family is still young, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. How can he be around him?" Don't have any elders to take care of you?"

Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Mrs. Wu's son Xiao Jingxi said was the posthumous son of Wu Xiaohe's Di family. She couldn't help laughing, looking at the sly man beside her, she said: "You handed Mrs. Wu to the Di family? Are you bad?"

Xiao Jingxi pinched Ren Yaoqi's face, and said unwillingly: "Lady, don't talk nonsense, your husband is so talented and good-looking, he is a lover you can meet but never ask for, what's wrong? "

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

"Everyone has their own position. If they take the wrong position, it will be messed up. Since Mrs. Wu has married into the Wu family, she is a member of the Wu family. When she gets married, she obeys her husband, and when her husband dies, she obeys her son. This is what she should keep. As for Wu Yiyu, she is still the young wife of the Zeng family, and when the Zeng family and son are gone one day, the place she should return to is her natal family, not her uncle's." Wu Yiyu's natal family is naturally her younger brother, the young master of the Wu family. .

When Xiao Jingxi said these words, his tone was calm, but very firm.

People like Xiao Jingxi naturally understand that not all cats and dogs can be picked up in their backyard. King Yanbei cared about the relationship between brother and sister, but he didn't need to care about it. His heart was more ruthless than King Yanbei. But Xiao Jingxi's ruthlessness reassures those close to him.

The husband and wife were talking here when Apple came in and reported that the princess had come to invite Xiao Jingxi to come over.

Xiao Jingxi said to Ren Yaoqi: "Mother came to see me probably for the funeral of the old concubine, I will go to Jiuyang Palace."

The body of the old concubine has been sent back to Yanbei Palace, and the concubine has ordered people to build a mourning hall. The princess asked Ren Yaoqi to stay in the Zhaoning Palace and not to go out, because the old princess was not at the end of her life, and the princess was afraid of bumping into the child in Ren Yaoqi's stomach. Of course, the princess would not say such things clearly, and only said that Ren Yaoqi had suffered. frightened.

Ren Yaoqi got up to send Xiao Jingxi out.

"Is Jinglin coming back too?"

Originally, Xiao Jinglin would not come back so soon, but the old concubine died, and as a granddaughter, she was going to come back to attend the funeral.

Xiao Jingxi nodded: "I have already sent a letter, and Jinglin will be back in a few days. You go back, it's windy outside today, don't go out."

Ren Yaoqi heard the words and didn't insist on going out to see them off anymore, she turned around and came back after Xiao Jingxi left. Ren Yaoqi was still in good spirits after sleeping, thinking about going to the study to find a book for entertainment, while waiting for Xiao Jingxi to come back, when she walked to the study, she heard two little maids talking in a low voice.

"...The concubine sent Dr. Zhang, Dr. Li, and Dr. Gu to Yun's house, but the injuries were too serious, and I don't know if they can be saved."

"But we must save him, otherwise we in Yanbei will lose a strong general like Young Master Yun."
