Ren Yaoqi found the pot of flowering cactus a little funny. She didn't know if Xiao Jingxi was deliberately joking with Xiao Jinglin by finding her such a pot of flowers.
"Put it in the greenhouse first." She had heard Xiao Jinglin tell Hongying to deal with this thing casually. Princess Xiao has never been a person who cherishes flowers.
Xiang Qin happily carried the flower away again, and specifically instructed the maid in the flower room, "Grandma, you must take good care of it. This flower bloomed in the Yanbei Palace. It might even be imbued with divine energy! It can bless our family with peace and prosperity, so don't be careless!"
Everyone in the greenhouse was so scared that they didn't know whether to prepare an incense table and burn three sticks of incense for the cactus in the morning and evening.
During the following period, Ren Yaoqi did not deliberately look for Xiao Jinglin, because she knew that the princess must have a lot of things to do since she asked her to come back so early.
However, Ren Yaoqi had sporadically learned some news from Ningxia. Zeng Kui had been intercepted en route from Yunyang City to Ningxia and injured his arm, though he survived. Rumors circulated that it was Wu Yiyu, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, who was trying to scare Zeng Kui because she didn't want to marry him.
Unfortunately, Zeng Kui was not easily frightened and returned to Ningxia.
The marriage between the Zeng family and the Wu family could not be ruined by Wu Yiyu's unreasonable behavior. Xiao Wei's attitude seemed to be very firm. She was afraid that Wu Yiyu would cause trouble again, so she even ordered her daughter to be confined to her home.
In fact, if they really wanted to marry their children to each other, Xiao Wei would definitely not look down on Zeng Kui, who had an unattractive appearance, as her son-in-law, and Zeng Yu might not be willing to marry his only son to a daughter-in-law who was always calling for war and had a bad reputation.
However, both sides are now forced by the situation. The Zeng family and Xiao Wei can only form an alliance to barely gain a foothold in Ningxia. Otherwise, the power of both sides will be completely devoured by the Yanbei Palace.
Soon, news spread from Ningxia that the two former Ningxia generals had officially married their children. Zeng Kui and Wu Yiyu became the latest engaged couple.
The marriage between the two families has become a foregone conclusion, but Wu Yiyu, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, has not stopped because of this. She still makes rumors every now and then that she wants to cause trouble for Zeng Kui, that ugly guy.
The marriage between the two families benefited both Zeng Kui and Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei already had some loyalists to the Wu family, and with Zeng Kui's men and his imperial appointment as the Ningxia General, he had amassed a formidable force.
Of course, now that the Di family has Wu Xiaohe's only heir, there are also many forces that are trying to get close to him. The Di family and the Zeng Wu Alliance are both trying their best to absorb Ningxia's military forces, and the two sides are officially facing off.
At a time when power struggles were raging in Ningxia, Xiao Jinglin's coming-of-age ceremony was scheduled for June 22, her birthday.
Three days before the coming-of-age ceremony, the historian of the Yanbei Palace began to select the guests who would crown Princess Xiao at the ceremony.
