Later, Ren Yaoqi also heard that the princess also gave the same reward to Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu who lived in the Yanbei Palace. However, they only had four sets, which could not be compared with the ones given to Ren Yaoqi by the princess in terms of quantity or quality. The things given to Ren Yaoqi by the princess were based on the example of Princess Xiao Jinglin.

Because of this incident, everyone in Yanbei believed that the princess valued her future daughter-in-law very much, making them even more cautious towards Ren Yaoqi. These days, pleasing your husband is nothing; pleasing your mother-in-law is the only way to truly rest easy. Even Master Ren San understood this principle.

This year's Qianjin Banquet was still held at the Hot Spring Villa. Although it was still nominally hosted by the Yun family, due to the Queen Mother's involvement, some of the major arrangements were made by the Yanbei Palace.

On the day of the Thousand Gold Banquet, Xiao Jinglin came early in the morning to take over Ren Yaoqi. Just like last time, Ren Yaoqi still went with Xiao Jinglin.

Today, Ren Yaoqi was wearing a crimson-purple jacket with a cross collar and long sleeves embroidered with chrysanthemum branches. The color was quite dark, and most people would look dull in it. However, Ren Yaoqi had fair skin, outstanding looks, and a refined temperament. The crimson-purple color made her look even more elegant, and the pair of specially designed golden hairpins with phoenix wings spread on her head made her temperament even more noble. One could tell at a glance that her identity was different from that of an ordinary lady.

Xiao Jinglin, on the other hand, was dressed more simply today. A ivory-colored, double-breasted jacket embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern and a white pleated skirt made her look particularly light and elegant. When she stood next to Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaoqi seemed the star of the show.

When Xiao Jinglin saw her get on the car, he honestly praised her, "She looks great! You outshine all those other people!"

Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly upon hearing this. Her clothes and headgear were all prepared by the princess, and there were rules about when to wear which one. She herself didn't pay much attention to these things, but she also understood why the princess was so concerned about her, so she was very grateful to her. Even Li lamented that the princess cared about Ren Yaoqi as if she were her own daughter, and warned her to be filial to her parents-in-law after marrying into the Xiao family.

When Xiao Jinglin's carriage arrived at the city gate, it happened to meet the carriage of the princess of Yanbei Palace and others, and the whole group went to the hot spring villa together.

Ren Yaoqi had been to the Hot Spring Villa many times and was very familiar with it. Their carriage did not stop outside, but followed the princess's carriage all the way to the main hall complex.

When Ren Yaoqi got off the carriage, the old princess, who had arrived earlier than them, had already gone to Jianxue Pavilion. The princess was holding a woman in her fifties who was standing not far in front of them. The strange old woman had a cold face and simple clothes, but the princess was very respectful when she spoke to her.

Before Ren Yaoqi could guess the identity of the old lady, the princess saw them and called out with a smile: "Yaoqi, Jinglin, come here quickly."

Xiao Jinglin pulled Ren Yaoqi over and reminded her in a low voice, "That's my grandmother." Ren Yaoqi's heart trembled when he heard that.

Concubine Yun seemed to notice their little movements and frowned.

The princess smiled and said to Ren Yaoqi, "Yaoqi, come and meet Concubine Yun."

Ren Yaoqi quickly bowed to Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun didn't say anything, but Ren Yaoqi could feel her gaze on her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. However, Concubine Yun didn't respond to her, so she could only lower her head and couldn't raise it.
