Scheme of the Official Descendant

Mrs. Li also made a new dress for Ren Yaoying. It was a skirt with pink background and embroidered white plum blossoms. The material and workmanship were similar to those of Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying. She still looked a little sleepy, and couldn't lift her spirits.

The first ones to come today were Mrs. Liu and her daughter Liu Menghan. They also brought a pot of tiger head orchids that they had grown by themselves.

This is what was agreed before, since today is a flower viewing party, all the ladies who come to participate must bring flowers, and finally the oiran will be selected.

Afterwards, Mrs. Chen, mother and daughter and two other wives also came. Mrs. Chen brought a pot of "Luoyang Red", one of the other two wives brought a pot of "Cui Yi Pin", and the other brought a pot of "Wei Zi".

Ouyang and several older wives came later. Ouyang brought a pot of "White Snow Pagoda" and a pot of "Phoenix Vibrating Feather", and the rest of the wives also brought famous flowers.

Mrs. Li asked people to build a pergola in the courtyard, displayed the famous flowers in the house, placed low tables and stools, and served tea and snacks. Before moving here, the third master Ren took care of the yard up and down, and repaired it according to his aesthetics. Besides, the third master Ren is very talented and discerning in this aspect , so even if it is just an ordinary courtyard, it will give people a sense of refreshment.

It happened to be early summer at this time, and it was not very hot in the morning. There was a pergola in the yard for shade, and the wind was blowing. Sitting in the yard, enjoying the flowers, drinking tea, and chatting about interesting things in the city, was also a very pleasant thing.

Today's guests are all wives and young ladies with excellent tutors, and it's enough to gossip about gossip. Everyone knew about the changes in the Ren family a while ago, but no one brought it up, not even discussing it secretly, and respected the master's family very much. The tempers of these wives are very much to Li Shi's liking, so she also really wants to make friends with them.

Sisters Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua chatted with Liu Menghan, Chen Zhiyi and the other two ladies about flowers and plants. Although these ladies are young, they all have read books and have some knowledge, especially Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi. She can also be regarded as a well-informed and knowledgeable woman, and with Ren Yaoqi who has a broad vision, they chatted very congenially together.

Ren Yaoying also came out for a while before, but the ladies who came today are all descendants. Although they didn't mean to look down on Ren Yaoying, nor did they run on her in words, but Ren Yaoying always felt that others treated Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua. She was warm, but he was very cold towards her. After sitting for a while, I felt uncomfortable all over, and finally found an excuse to hide in the room.

Ren Yaoqi was listening to Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi's witty debate about whether the "Tiger head orchid" from the Liu family is better or the "Luoyang red" from the Chen family is better. The porter hurried in to report that there was a distinguished guest arrive.

Ren Yaoqi wondered who would come here at this time, except for Mrs. Li, who was invited by the post before, and could not come because her natal brother was so happy that her precious son returned to her natal home, the rest of the people who received the post had arrived.

Ren Yaoqi was wondering, but saw a tall, slender woman with exquisite brows that implied heroism appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Ren Yaoqi was overjoyed when she saw the visitor: "Princess?"

Everyone who was chatting and laughing softly was startled by Xiao Jinglin who suddenly appeared here, but it was Ouyang who reacted and said with a smile: "Hey, the princess is back?"

Everyone got up and saluted Xiao Jinglin, Xiao Jinglin nodded: "I heard that there is a flower viewing party here, I'll come and have a look, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about me."

Mrs. Li hurriedly asked someone to add another seat.

Ren Yaoqi greeted her with a smile, and said angrily, "Jinglin, when did you come back? Why didn't you say anything when you received the letter?"

Xiao Jinglin also showed a smile on her face: "What? Did it scare you?"

Ren Yaoqi blinked: "How could it be a shock, it should be a surprise. I thought you wouldn't be back until the middle of the month."

Xiao Jinglin nodded to the ladies who greeted her, and then said: "I came back early this morning, and originally planned to see you tomorrow, but Xiao Jingxi said that you are holding a flower viewing party here today, let me come and have a look .”

Hearing Xiao Jinglin mention Xiao Jingxi, Ren Yaoqi paused.

Although she didn't know how Xiao Jingxi knew that her family was holding a flower show today, she could probably guess what Xiao Jingxi wanted Xiao Jinglin to come over. Mrs. Li and the others wanted to gain a firm foothold in Yunyang City. With the recognition of the princess or the Yanbei Palace, they would be more successful in the future.

Xiao Jinglin didn't see the expression on Ren Yaoqi's face, she looked around at the bonsai around, although she couldn't see any difference between the rare flowers and the ones planted in the garden, but remembered that she just brought them with her in a hurry. Xiao Jinglin was still hesitant to take out the pot that came over.

Hong Ying, who was following Xiao Jinglin, didn't see the entanglement on Princess Xiao's face. She saw the princess looking at the flowers in the yard, so she ran out and brought in the flowers they had left on the carriage.

When everyone saw Princess Xiao's maid holding flowers, they all looked over curiously.

"Huh? What kind of flower is this?" A younger lady approached curiously.

Xiao Jinglin had a serious expression on her face.

"Oh, there are thorns growing!" The little girl exclaimed, clutching her fingers.

Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi looked at each other, then said cautiously, "This is... a cactus?"

"Huh? A cactus? Is a cactus a flower?"

"Isn't this cactus blooming? It's...a flower..."

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin and couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Jinglin then nodded and said to everyone: "This is planted by my second brother. I saw that this thing is very rare to bloom, so I brought it here for fun."

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was immediately attracted by Second Young Master Xiao.

Who is Second Young Master Xiao! That is a character like a banished fairy! The flowers planted by Second Young Master Xiao must be different from ordinary flowers! Even if it's just a flowering cactus.

So when he looked at this pot of cactus, his doubts turned into various guesses.

Ren Yaoqi gave Xiao Jinglin a teasing look. No one else knew, but she knew that Xiao Jinglin's favorite thing to do was to use Xiao Jingxi as a shield.

Afterwards, the sun grew brighter, and Mrs. Li entertained everyone to the big flower hall that had been cleaned up before.

Ren Yaoqi looked for an opportunity to take Xiao Jinglin to her room to talk.

Although the two haven't seen each other for two years, they often exchange letters, so there is no sense of strangeness.

It's just that Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin and seemed to have grown a lot taller. She was about the same height as her before, but now she is half a head taller, and it may be because of frequent inspections outside the customs that Xiao Jinglin's complexion is slightly darker. But it made her look more chiseled, with a beauty that was different from other boudoir daughters.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi, but felt that she was more beautiful than two years ago. Ren Yaoqi had passed her fourteenth birthday a while ago, and her facial features were more open than two years ago, her appearance and temperament became more and more provocative. Especially today's goose-yellow clothes matched her fair and clear skin very well, and she looked very beautiful.

But Princess Xiao looked at Ren Yaoqi, compared her head, and said with some distaste: "Why are you so short?"

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing, and didn't care about her.

"Why did you come back early? I remember you said that you would come back a few days before your birthday." Xiao Jinglin's birthday was on the 22nd of June, and Ren Yaoqi thought that she would not come back until the 10th of June at the earliest.

Xiao Jinglin said: "My mother said that there will be quite a few people coming to my funeral ceremony this time, so let me come back early to make preparations."

Ren Yaoqi nodded.

The Princess Jiji of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion can also be regarded as a major event in Yanbei. At that time, both Ningxia and the imperial court will send people to Yanbei to congratulate.

Now Yanbei, Ningxia, and the imperial court are very sensitive, it would be better for Xiao Jinglin to come back sooner.

"By the way, Yun Wenfang seems to be back." Xiao Jinglin said suddenly.

Xiao Jinglin would occasionally mention Yun Wenfang in the correspondence with Ren Yaoqi. I heard that he is now a fifth-rank General Yingyang, and he has led a team of troops under his command, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements.

Ren Yaoqi only read about Yun Wenfang's news, and never expressed his opinion.

Hearing Xiao Jinglin say that Yun Wenfang would come back, Ren Yaoqi just smiled.

In the past two years, Yun Wenfang should have experienced a lot of things. Ren Yaoqi hopes that he can really grow up. As for the relationship between them, there is no relationship in this life, and there will be no relationship in the future.

If Xiao Jinglin didn't mention Yun Wenfang, Ren Yaoqi wouldn't deliberately think of him.

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi's attitude was flat, Xiao Jinglin didn't continue talking about Yun Wenfang. It's just that she met Yun Wenfang a few times when she was at the border. Although Yun Wenfang was considered a qualified general from the military point of view, Xiao Jinglin also gradually changed her contemptuous attitude towards him.

But she can also see that people like Yun Wenfang are very stubborn and will not give up their goals easily, which is why she will tell Ren Yaoqi about Yun Wenfang. I just hope that Ren Yaoqi can understand.

Ren Yaoqi smiled and asked: "Why did you come back early? I remember you said before that you would come back a few days before your birthday."

Xiao Jinglin said expressionlessly: "The author told me to come back quickly to help her show off her cuteness and increase the ticket price. I saw that she was crying miserably, so I will do a good deed that day."

Ren Yaoqi: "..."
