In fact, it is not Ren Yaoqi's turn to make the decision on such matters, but Ren Shimin is free and easy-going and not too bound by etiquette, and Mrs. Li is used to listening to her daughter. In addition, Mrs. Rong's letter also asked them to ask Ren Yaoqi's opinion.
Ren Shimin said to Ren Yaoqi, "Although I haven't met Second Young Master Xiao many times, I've heard he's a rare talent and beauty. It's just a pity..." If it weren't for Xiao Jingxi's frail health, Ren Shimin might have accepted. He always had only one requirement for a son-in-law, and that was outstanding literary talent. However, when it came to the marriage of his beloved youngest daughter, Ren Shimin had to be taciturn for once and be cautious.
Li also said, "Your father and I agree that this marriage should go ahead."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Just as Ren Yaoqi was pondering how to respond, Xier came in and reported, "Master, Madam, the carriage from the Yanbei Palace has arrived at the gate."
After Xu Wanli left the Ren family, he went to the Yanbei Palace and explained his visit to the Ren family today to the Yanbei King and Xiao Jingxi.
When King Yanbei heard that Master Ren did not agree, he was a little surprised, but Xiao Jingxi looked calm.
After Xu Wanli left, King Yanbei glanced at his son, coughed lightly and said, "How about..."
Xiao Jingxi came back to his senses and looked at King Yanbei.
King Yanbei paused, stood up and walked forward to pat Xiao Jingxi on the shoulder. This comforting gesture was performed by King Yanbei, who had a strong body due to years of military campaigns, with great vigor and flexibility. Most people would have been knocked down by him.
"Don't worry about it. A real man should have nothing to worry about with his wife!" King Yanbei, who was not very good at speaking, patted his son's shoulder and comforted him dryly.
Xiao Jingxin glanced at his father helplessly, and put down King Yanbei's hand unconsciously.
"How about I ask Sheng Shihong to come and ask again?" King Yanbei suggested.
Xiao Jingxi shook his head and was about to speak when King Yanbei said again: "It's okay if that girl really doesn't like you. I have ordered her to be married. Let's see who dares not to marry!" King Yanbei was majestic and domineering as he made these harsh words.
Xiao Jingxi pressed his brows and said helplessly, "Father..."
"son?"
"I will take care of this matter myself, father, please be patient." Xiao Jingxi said sincerely.
The King of Yanbei was still a little reluctant: "How can that be? You are my son, and will be the Crown Prince of the Yanbei Palace. Your marriage is a big deal! Our Yanbei Palace has always relied on our fists to conquer the world. You actually don't care about all those red tape..."
"Father, that may not be the case now." Xiao Jingxi interrupted King Yanbei with a gentle smile.
"What do you mean maybe?" King Yanbei stopped talking, somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Jingxi patiently explained, "I may not be the prince of the Yanbei Palace."
King Yanbei was stunned for a moment, his expression becoming serious. No longer joking, his face now held a solemn expression. This was the true King Yanbei who roamed the northern territories, not a father making fun of his son's marriage. "Could it be that something strange is going on in the capital again?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "Zhao is pregnant."
King Yanbei raised an eyebrow: "When did this happen? Why are you talking about it now?"
"After my eldest brother's accident, Zhao was brought into the palace. They said they were worried about the instability of the fetus, so they kept it a secret. She has been staying in the Empress Dowager's palace to protect the baby."
