Feeling someone entering the backyard, Ren Yaoqi turned around and saw that it was Dongsheng.
Dongsheng walked to a distance of about four or five steps away from Ren Yaoqi and stopped, bowing: "Greetings, Fifth Sister Ren."
Ren Yaoqi looked at him with a smile. Dongsheng's appearance had not changed. He was in good spirits, and his eyes were still clear and lively.
"Why are you with the princess?"
Dongsheng bowed his head and said respectfully, "The second young master is also in Baihe Town. He was ordered to drive for the princess."
Xiao Jingxi came as expected.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Dongsheng and said thoughtfully, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Dongsheng nodded and said, "Cousin, there's movement at the White Dragon Temple."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, but then he was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Is your army the Xiao family's?"
Dongsheng nodded. "There was another military conflict the other day, and people died. I heard that the Emperor's desk is already full of petitions requesting Yanbei to reduce its troops. An imperial edict should arrive from the capital in a few days. The Yanbei Palace will break up several units before the edict is issued, and have them dispersed to some of Yanbei's major temples as hired farmers. By then, even if someone from the capital sees something is going on, they won't be able to do anything."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel happy. If the Xiao family army didn't enter Ningxia, even if Zeng Yu came in the future, he wouldn't have the strength he had in his previous life. His path to promotion would definitely not be so smooth.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but admire Xiao Jingxi's drive. It was easy to think about, but actually putting it into practice was incredibly difficult. But Xiao Jingxi had managed it, and in such a short time.
Dongsheng saw the unconcealed joy on Ren Yaoqi's face and couldn't help but ask, "If this thing succeeds, what benefits will it bring to Prince Xian's Mansion?"
Ren Yaoqi said, "I only know that if the imperial court's power infiltrates into Yanbei, it will not be a good thing for Prince Xian's Mansion."
Dongsheng thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Sister is right."
Ren Yaoqi saw that he was still thinking about Prince Xian's Mansion, so he sighed and said, "Tongxi, will your master blame you for telling me this?"
Dongsheng heard her call him by his current name and understood what Ren Yaoqi meant. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I have a feeling that the Second Young Master seems to have guessed something. When Tongde went to report this to him yesterday, he didn't let me leave. Today, he specifically ordered me to follow the princess to the Ren family... I feel like he seems to know."
Do you know that she was the one who came up with this method?
"Sister, don't worry about me. I know my limits." Dongsheng said to Ren Yaoqi, "The Second Young Master treats me well. Since I've already followed him, I will naturally work hard for him. But Prince Xian's Mansion... Prince Xian's Mansion is like my home. I will never forget my origins."
Dongsheng is like this. If the Xian Palace and the Yanbei Palace have always been at peace, then there will be no problem. But if there is a conflict of interest one day, Dongsheng is afraid...
However, in the previous life, the Xian Palace and the Yanbei Palace did not interfere with each other in the end. They even turned a blind eye when Li You secretly came to Beijing to find her. There should be no sudden conflicts in this life.
"By the way, have you ever heard of a family with the surname Qu? They should have been a prominent family in Yanzhou decades ago. Later, for some unknown reason, the family fell into poverty and most of the family members died." Ren Yaoqi suddenly remembered the Han family and asked hurriedly.
