Prince Yanbei was silent for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said, "So our palace wants to appoint a child as the crown prince?"
Xiao Jingxi didn't care: "Even if we don't establish the throne, how could the court let it go?"
King Yanbei lowered his chin. "What if it's a granddaughter? Will she be made the crown prince as well?"
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but laugh and reminded King Yanbei: "Did you allow Wu Xiaohe's posthumous child to be a daughter?"
King Yanbei was silent for a moment, then he opened his lips and uttered a word elegantly: "!"
Xiao Jingxi turned a blind eye to his father's rudeness: "So, father, you have the more important thing to do next, which is to establish a prince. Don't worry about your son's marriage."
King Yanbei sighed and patted Xiao Jingxi's shoulder again: "Son, I'm a useless father and I've wronged you. Now that your brother is gone, it's not your turn to be the Crown Prince. In the future, you will have to be his uncle. Think about the fate of those powerful uncles of past emperors. As a father, I feel extremely sad for you!"
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, father. That's why I hope you can live longer, so that I won't be in danger at the hands of my nephew in the future."
King Yanbei laughed heartily: "No problem! At worst, Dad can leave you a will or something, letting you become the regent uncle, and use the emperor to control the princes."
After the father and son joked back and forth for a while, Xiao Jingxi left the study and went to Jiuyang Palace to find the princess.
On the second day, the princess' carriage went to Baoping Hutong in person.
Ren Yaoqi, who was talking with his parents in the main room, was stunned when he heard Xier's report. When he was wondering who had come to the palace, he heard the news that the princess had arrived.
Li and Ren Shimin were both shocked when they heard this and hurried out to greet them.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it, then immediately pulled Li and Ren Shimin aside and whispered, "It might not be convenient for me to be there later. If the princess mentions... mentions marriage, then father and mother should agree."
Ren Yaoqi knew that Ren Shimin and Li had rejected the Yanbei Palace's proposal out of consideration for her, but outsiders wouldn't understand, and being called ungrateful would be a shame. With the princess coming in person, she had to accept the marriage proposal even if she didn't want to, not to mention that Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi already had a tacit understanding.
Li and Ren Shimin were still a little hesitant, so Ren Yaoqi could only say, "Father and Mother, I don't object to this marriage."
The princess's carriage had already arrived at the door, so there was no time to delay any longer. After saying this, Ren Yaoqi supported Li and followed Ren Shimin out.
The princess's visit was modest, with only a few carriages and mounted guards following. She didn't wait for the Ren family to greet her at the main gate, but waited at the second gate. The princess's affectionate demeanor was evident in these small details, and even Mrs. Li noticed the princess's friendly and accommodating attitude.
Ren Shimin brought his wife and daughter to the second gate to welcome the princess. The princess supported Li who was about to salute, and nodded to Ren Shimin, and only accepted Ren Yaoqi's salute.
"Princess, there's no need to be so polite. I just came to see you and Yaoqi today." The princess said with a smile.
