Originally, Ren Yaoqi had meant this, but why did the words seem to have a different meaning when they came out of Xiao Jingxi's mouth? Ren Yaoqi thought about it and finally figured out what was going on. Isn't this kind of words usually said by a wife to her husband before going on a long journey?
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's face turn red and glaring at him angrily, Xiao Jingxi was a little stunned at first. After reacting, he felt that what he said before was a bit inappropriate, like a teasing remark.
But he really didn't mean that.
So the always wise and brave, always calculating and quick-witted Young Master Xiao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. With red ears, he said at a loss for words, "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
This time, Ren Yaoqi actually saw Xiao Jingxi's ears blush, and she couldn't help but be stunned. Xiao Jingxi like this made her feel very strange. Could someone like him also blush? Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi felt a strange feeling in her heart.
After all, she still didn't really blame Xiao Jingxi, so she couldn't bear to see him at a loss, so she turned her eyes away and changed the subject: "I remember you said before that you would go to Kyoto to participate in the literary competition at the end of summer. Why do you want to go now?"
Fortunately, Xiao Jingxi quickly adjusted himself: "What you said before is very right. I remembered the saying 'autumn is a time of trouble', so it's better to come back before autumn. I submitted a petition to Kyoto, so the time is moved up by a few months."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that her words would really work. If Xiao Jingxi could really come back before Wu Xiaohe died, Ningxia should have received better arrangements, and then Zeng Yu's chance of coming to Yanbei to take over the Wu family's power would be even smaller.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi's mood improved, and a smile appeared on his face. "Well, Kyoto has always been a troubled place for you, so it's better to come back as soon as possible. And I heard from the princess that the Liao people in the north are more active in autumn and winter."
Last year, Yanbei and the Liao people had fought several small-scale battles. Xiao Jinglin had heard that Yanbei had won more than it had lost. However, the Liao people came when they wanted to, and if they couldn't win, they would just walk away. In the end, even if Yanbei won, it was the people on the border who suffered the losses.
Yun Wenfang has made many contributions in these wars and is now considered a fierce general under Min Wenqing. He has really proved with his actual actions that he is not a second-generation rich man who only knows how to eat, drink, play, and bully men and women. Even Min Wenqing, who disliked the Yun family, now likes Yun Wenfang a lot more. Of course, he will still be ruthless when he can make the best use of him.
Seeing the smile on Ren Yaoqi's face, Xiao Jingxi's mood couldn't help but brighten up.
They had almost finished talking, and Ren Yaoqi didn't want to stay with Xiao Jingxi any longer, so he bowed and said goodbye.
Xiao Jingxi nodded and watched Ren Yaoqi slowly walk out of the Yanbei Palace.
