Yihong smiled and said, "Knowing you were coming today, the master asked them to go to the backyard."

Ren Yaoqi recalled the last time Li brought her and Ren Yaohua back to her parents' home. As soon as they entered, they saw a bustling courtyard. A tasseled horse whip flew right towards Ren Yaohua's door. Fortunately, Yihong reacted quickly and caught it. Although it was a false alarm, Ren Yaohua was furious. She made a scene at her grandfather's house and forced him to sell all the "actors" in the courtyard. In the end, the quarrel ended in a bad mood.

Later, Ren Yaohua refused to come in no matter what. This time when she came to Yunyang City, Ren Yaoqi had originally planned to come with Ren Yaohua, but Ren Yaohua always found excuses to avoid her, so in the end she came alone.

After entering the hanging flower gate, the yard is still a bit old, but it is still quite neat. One or two clumps of green grass occasionally emerge from the gaps in the bluestone slabs. It does not look messy, but rather adds some lively vitality.

The Xianwang Mansion had no rockeries, unusual stonework, carved beams, or painted buildings, no gardens, just ordinary rooms. However, each courtyard was planted with flowers and plants, none of which were rare, just the common banana trees, crabapples, and pomegranates found in Yanbei, and even a few clumps of morning glory.

Princess Xian and Prince Xian lived in the main house on the third floor. When Ren Yaoqi went over, Princess Rong was trimming a withered chrysanthemum in the courtyard with a pair of small scissors.

"You're here." Rong looked up and smiled gently, handing the scissors to Chuchu behind her.

Ren Yaoqi went forward to greet Rong: "Grandfather and uncle are not at home?"

Rong pulled Ren Yaoqi towards the main room and said, "Don't worry about them. They will be back for lunch." Rong smiled.

Although Ren Yaoqi didn't come to his grandparents' house very often, he knew the personalities of his grandfather and uncle. They were probably drinking tea and listening to songs or playing with crickets outside.

Rong's main room was bare of furnishings. The only valuable items were a pearwood bunk bed, an eight-immortals table, and four armchairs, all of which were old. A pair of half-human-high beauty vases with flowers in them looked exquisite, though they were likely made from ordinary folk kilns.

Rong took Ren Yaoqi to sit on the kang, and Chuchu brought tea over.

"Where is Yihong?" Rong asked Chuchu.

Ren Yaoqi took the tea and smelled the scent of Bamboo Leaf Green Tea. When Rong asked Yihong, she said, "Auntie prepared some things for me when I came. I asked Auntie Yihong to go to the backyard to clean up."

Because Ren Yaoqi saved Lin Cen, Ren Shijia became closer to him. When Ren Yaoqi was leaving today, Ren Shijia asked the nanny to prepare a carriage full of gifts, which were filled with the best ginseng, bird's nest, deer antler and other supplements, as well as some clothes and easy-to-store food. She said that he couldn't be too casual when visiting his grandparents on behalf of his mother. Ren Yaoqi couldn't refuse and accepted it.

Rong was a little surprised when she heard this, but she still smiled and said, "Go back and wait for me to thank her."

Ren Yaoqi agreed, and Rong said to Chuchu, "Then go to Xia Sheng and bring the two children over."

Hearing that they were the two maids that Xia Sheng had helped find, Ren Yaoqi became interested and asked Rong, "Grandma, what do you think of them? I haven't seen them yet."

Rong said gently, "I've questioned them. They're both handsome and smart. You're coming here to be maids, so just knowing some martial arts isn't enough. That's why I asked Yihong to teach them the rules of the family every day. They're still young, so if you train them well for a few years, they'll be very useful in the future."

After hearing what Rong said, Ren Yaoqi finally felt relieved.

Soon, Chuchu came in with two little girls, about six or seven years old. Perhaps because they had just been practicing martial arts with Xia Sheng, they were wearing gray clothes and pants, with their cuffs and trouser legs tied up with belts.

Their faces were red with sweat, and they looked stronger than other girls their age. Xia Sheng said they were born into performing arts backgrounds, so they must have practiced martial arts before.

They were a little nervous when they came in. After paying their respects, they knelt on the ground and dared not move or raise their heads.
