However, Ren Yaoqi was no longer so surprised when she saw her grandmother Rong at the Yanbei Palace. She thought that it was probably because Rong was going to be the main guest that she was not allowed to be Xiao Jinglin's sponsor, otherwise it would attract too much attention.
However, Ren Yaoqi thought again: since Xiao Jinglin had sent her a message asking her to prepare, it meant that there wasn't much opposition to her being the sponsor, at least not from the princess. And the change in candidates happened three days ago during the "divination ceremony," which happened to be the day the King of Yanbei returned home. She wondered what the connection was.
When Rong saw Li and her daughter, she smiled and nodded at them. At that time, she was sitting and talking with the Princess of Yanbei, so she waved to Li to come over and pay her respects to the Princess.
The princess held Li's hand and asked her to sit down and chat with them. She smiled at Ren Yaoqi with great familiarity and said, "Your mother and sister will stay here and talk to me. Go and see if Jinglin is ready. The training will start in half an hour. If she is ready, we will go to Chengde Palace."
Chengde Hall is equivalent to the ancestral hall of the Xiao family of the Yanbei Palace. It is usually closed on weekdays and is only opened during the New Year to worship ancestors or hold ceremonies. Xiao Jinglin's coming-of-age ceremony will be held in the east room of the main hall of Chengde Hall.
Ren Yaoqi responded and turned away.
She had been to Yanbei many times and was very familiar with the Yanbei Palace. She didn't need anyone to lead the way and could find Xiao Jinglin on her own.
Xiao Jinglin was almost ready and seemed to be waiting for Ren Yaoqi to come find her. When she saw her, she sent away all the people who had helped her bathe and change clothes in the room, leaving only Hongying to serve her.
Xiao Jinglin opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, my mother originally agreed to let you be my sponsor, so I thought..."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and held her hand, saying, "It's okay, it's fine this way now."
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi didn't seem to be complaining, Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I hadn't expected your grandmother to be the guest of honor, but you're right, this isn't a bad outcome."
Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Since the King of Yanbei invited the Rong family to be the main guest, it was a statement of respect for the previous alliance between Xiao Jingxi and the Xian Palace. This way, they didn't have to worry about them becoming enemies for at least a short period of time.
The two talked for a while, and when the time was almost up and the princess sent someone to invite them, they went to Chengde Hall.
It was Ren Yaoqi's first time to visit Chengde Hall. All the buildings in the Yanbei Palace were solemn and majestic. As an ancestral hall, Chengde Hall was even more solemn than the other halls.
The prince and princess, Rong, and the people who were invited to watch the ceremony have arrived at the East Hall.
Xiao Jinglin, with her hair radiating from her body, was led before the prince and princess, while Ren Yaoqi retreated back to Li and Ren Yaohua.
