After Ren Yaoqi finished her confinement, she resumed her daily social activities. The princess gradually handed over most of the palace's internal affairs to her, and she herself lived a leisurely life enjoying the company of her grandchildren. Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi was intelligent, and with the princess's guidance, she was able to manage the household with ease.
Xiao Jinglin had mentioned before that she wanted to take her nephew as her apprentice, so she would come every day to cultivate the master-apprentice relationship with her future apprentice. Little Azhuo liked Xiao Jinglin very much and never cried or made a fuss when she hugged him. Princess Xiao was very satisfied with this. If it weren't for the princess's strict order, she would probably start teaching little Azhuo how to squat when he was only a few months old.
On this day, Xiao Jinglin came to say goodbye to Ren Yaoqi and Azhuo again.
"Where are you going this time?" Ren Yaoqi asked Xiao Jinglin, who was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic.
Xiao Jinglin grabbed Ah Zhu's chubby little hand that was digging at her chest armor and said, "The Zengs have taken refuge in the Dangxiang territory. I'm going there to completely eradicate them."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin suspiciously when he heard this: "You don't need to go there in person, right?"
The Zeng family father and son are now nothing more than stray dogs, and can no longer cause any trouble. Even if the Yanbei Palace wants to wipe out the roots, Xiao Jinglin does not need to take action.
Xiao Jinglin pursed her lips, lowered her head to tease Ah Zhuo, and pretended not to hear.
Ren Yaoqi squinted his eyes and looked at her for a few times, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Is it to avoid someone?"
Xiao Jinglin paused the moment he was pinching Ah Zhu's little paw, and Ren Yaoqi immediately understood what was going on.
After Yun Wenting and Xiao Jinglin returned from Jiajingguan, Yun Wenfang was seriously injured, and Xiao Jinglin had many things to do. So Yun Wenting returned to the Yun family first. Now that Yun Wenfang's injuries have gradually improved, and to everyone's surprise, he has begun to take over the affairs of the Yun family. This has left Yun Wenting, the eldest son and grandson designated as the next heir to the Yun family, with less time on his hands. As a result, the eldest son of the Yun family has been appearing at the Yanbei Palace from time to time lately.
Young Master Yun hadn't come to see Xiao Jinglin; he had come to pay his respects to the old princess and the princess. The old princess had always been fond of her nephew, and while her attitude towards Yun Wenting was somewhat unfathomable, she didn't dislike him. After all, looking across Yanbei, there weren't many who were better than the eldest son of the Yun family.
So Xiao Jinglin had been seeing Yun Wenting quite a bit lately. Back when she was busy, Yun Wenting would follow Xiao Jinglin around, helping her with paperwork and cleaning up after things, and Xiao Jinglin hadn't found him annoying at all. Now that she was gradually freer, Yun Wenting still hung around her all the time, and Xiao Jinglin was getting a little antsy.
Ren Yaoqi saw Xiao Jinglin like this and just sighed. She didn't want to persuade her.
No one can help with matters of the heart; you have to think it through yourself.
What Xiao Jinglin didn't know was that the princess had privately discussed the matter between Yun Wenting and Xiao Jinglin with Ren Yaoqi. The princess was an open-minded person. Although the Yun family's affairs were somewhat complicated, she had no prejudice against Yun Wenting, a junior. If Xiao Jinglin agreed, the princess would not stop her.
As for the King of Yanbei's opinion... the princess said calmly that it was not a problem.
Later, Xiao Jingxi arrived. Overhearing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussing the eldest young master of the Yun family, he offered a rare opinion: "Yun Wenting doesn't have any major flaws, but he lacks a sharp edge and is a bit too soft."
