Then the two talked about Ningxia.
Xiao Jinglin said, "Ms. Di gave birth to a son a while ago, and both mother and child are safe."
Ren Yaoqi thought of the last time her grandmother Rong told her that the Wu family was going to marry into the Zeng family, so she told Xiao Jinglin about it.
Xiao Jinglin understood and said, "If the Di family hadn't protected them, they would have died countless times."
In Ningxia today, there are many who want to exterminate Wu Xiaohe's descendants, including his wife and daughter. In less than a year, Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu sent at least a dozen waves of people to kill Di, but unfortunately, they all returned empty-handed.
The Di family protected Di very well. It was said that they had more than a dozen substitutes hidden in various places. Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu killed the wrong people several times.
Ren Yaoqi shook her head secretly. Xiao Wei was so self-righteous, she had never considered the fundamentals of her life, only doing these useless and futile things. If she could always stand firmly on the same side as the Yanbei Palace, no matter how many illegitimate children Wu Xiaohe had, she would still be able to sit firmly on the throne of Ningxia's First Lady, and no one would dare to challenge her. Her daughter would also have more choices in marriage.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin chatted in the room for a while, and soon Sang Zhen came to report that Li was looking for Ren Yaoqi and asked her to take people to the warehouse to find the sets of bowls and plates with plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo and various flowers.
When this batch of porcelain was made two years ago, the patterns on them were all painted by Master Ren San and Ren Yaoqi. After they were made, they were kept in the warehouse and not used. It was not until Madam Zhou mentioned that if they were taken out and used today, it would be just right for the occasion and would also make Ren Yaoqi proud in front of everyone. So, Li asked Ren Yaoqi to find this batch of bowls and plates and use them.
Xiao Jinglin has returned and will definitely not be able to leave in the short term. If the two of them want to talk, there is no rush, so after Ren Yaoqi arranged for Xiao Jinglin, he took people to the warehouse.
At lunchtime, everyone was amazed at the exquisite and delicate bowls, plates, cups, spoons, and chopsticks. When they learned that Master Ren San and his daughter Ren Yaoqi had designed them themselves, they praised them profusely, and even the usually modest Li Shi had to become a bit vain.
Several ladies even wanted to ask Li for a sample, saying they would also make a few sets of the same pattern when they returned home to give as dowries to their daughters. Master Ren San and Ren Yaoqi didn't mind any of this, so Li smiled and agreed.
Because the flowers brought by the ladies to this flower viewing banquet were all equally famous, there was some debate during the final evaluation. However, these ladies were also very tactful. Although their flowers were beautiful, they were not so good as to overshadow the others. Therefore, the top and second place flowers were an orchid cultivated by Master Ren San and a camellia from the "Eighteen Scholars" family, respectively. The third place flower was the "Phoenix Spreading Feathers" brought by Ouyang.
Later, Ouyang suggested that instead of judging the fourth and fifth, it would be more interesting to judge the "oldest flower among flowers", "the most beautiful girl among flowers", etc.
Ouyang's proposal was accepted by everyone, and the young ladies from each family racked their brains to come up with titles for their own flowers. The process was very lively.
In the end, almost all the flowers from each family were selected, and even the cactus brought by Princess Xiao was jokingly given the title of "Female General among Flowers" by Ren Yaoqi.
