"This weather is really...it rains as soon as it says it will. Fifth sister, can't you sleep?" Ren Yaoyin walked towards Ren Yaoqi's bed, and her maid placed the candlestick in her hand on the Eight Immortals Table in the middle of the room.
"Did I wake you up?" Ren Yaoqi smiled apologetically.
Ren Yaoyin shifted her body slightly so that her shadow wouldn't obscure Ren Yaoqi's face. Because of the angle, Ren Yaoqi was exposed to the light, allowing Ren Yaoyin to see him clearly. Ren Yaoqi didn't seem to care that Ren Yaoyin could see him clearly, but he couldn't see Ren Yaoqi.
"No, I was a little stuffy before the rain, so I woke up. I've had this problem since I was a child. I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep again. I heard some noise over there, so I came over to check on you."
Ren Yaoyin turned her head to look at the window frame. It was pitch black outside, so the side of the window frame covered with gauze was also pitch black. The sound of rain was getting louder and louder, as if the two worlds were separated by a layer of gauze with small holes.
Ren Yaoqi wasn't sure why Ren Yaoyin came over in the middle of the night, so he didn't say much and just responded to her.
Ren Yaoyin has a calm and gentle temperament, which is different from the soft and weak temperament of southern women like Concubine Fang. When she speaks to people, she always makes people feel that she is reliable and trustworthy. This is also the reason why Ren Yaoyin is very popular.
"How did Fifth Sister know the princess? I heard that the princess doesn't like to socialize with others and is not very close to others." Ren Yaoyin blinked and asked casually with a moderate amount of curiosity.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "I met her by chance when I went to Bailong Temple with my mother to burn incense."
Ren Yaoyin smiled thoughtfully, then said, "It seems this is the fate between people. Speaking of which, my acquaintance with the eldest daughter of the Yun family was also fate. It was a few years ago, I followed my grandmother to attend the birthday banquet of an old lady in Yunyang City. She and I wore clothes of very similar fabrics and styles. When we stood together, people thought we were sisters. I was still young at the time, but the eldest daughter of the Yun family had already had a good reputation. Facing everyone's gaze, I was a little overwhelmed, but the eldest daughter of the Yun family seemed very happy. She took my hand and said that she wanted to take me as her godsister. There was also a Lantern Festival lantern festival, and we each got each other's lanterns and guessed the riddles written by each other."
When Ren Yaoyin said this, there was a smile in her voice, soft and gentle, and with a hint of nostalgia.
Ren Yaoqi thought Ren Yaoyin's expression was a little strange. She didn't know. Ren Yaoyin had only said half of what she was saying. The lantern Ren Yaoyin had received that year, while nominally Yun Qiuchen's, was actually written by Yun Wenting, the eldest son of the Yun family. Ren Yaoyin discovered this later when she stumbled upon Yun Wenting's handwriting. She later put the lantern and the riddle away.
"What about you, fifth sister? Did anything interesting happen between you and the princess?" Having said that, Ren Yaoyin tilted her head and asked with a smile.
"Interesting story?" Ren Yaoqi pondered for a moment. "That day at the White Dragon Temple, the princess was throwing coins into the lucky bell. I was envious of her accuracy, so I stood there, dumbfounded, watching for a long time. I guess my stunned expression caught the princess's attention."
Ren Yaoyin chuckled and jokingly said, "Is this what it means when fools have good fortune?"
Ren Yaoqi also smiled, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Then...what about the second young master of the Yun family? How did you get to know him?" Ren Yaoyin asked.
This question made Ren Yaoqi stunned for a moment. He looked at Ren Yaoyin. However, she was still facing away from the light, so her expression could not be seen.
Ren Yaoqi wondered if Ren Yaoyin had revealed her friendship with Yun Qiuchen just to trick her into revealing her connection to Xiao Jinglin and Yun Wenfang. She was quite calculating.
Ren Yaoqi said in surprise, "Didn't I see him the last time he came to Baihe Town and stayed at the Ren family? Oh, at that time I thought he was some kind of Master Wen."
Ren Yaoyin smiled, not sure whether to believe it or not, but she didn't ask any more questions. She looked out the window and said, "It's raining really hard today. I don't know if it will stop tomorrow."
