As the princess said this, the worry in her eyes was gone, and only deep tenderness and hope were in her eyes, making her look less majestic and more gentle than when she appeared in front of others. That was the look that only a mother could have.
Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu were taken to the Yanbei Palace by the old princess on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival and arranged in a side hall not far from the old princess's bedroom. The people who served them were arranged by the old princess herself. The princess did not say much about this matter. She also asked the maid to visit Zhao Yingqiu on her behalf and rewarded them both with a lot of things.
Zhao Yingqiu's illness wasn't serious; she recovered after a few days of rest and never relapsed. The two of them were often called over by the old princess to talk, and it was clear that she was very pleased. They would also pay their respects to the princess daily, and the princess would see them most of the time.
However, neither Yan Ningshuang nor Zhao Yingqiu saw Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin again, not even by chance in the garden.
Once, when Yan Ningshuang went to pay her respects to the princess, she asked, "I've been staying at the palace for a few days, but I haven't seen the princess and Master Xiao. I wanted to say hello, but it seems rude of me."
The princess smiled and said, "Jinglin is out and won't be back until next month. As for Jingxi..." The princess took a sip of tea slowly, "Jingxi is not in good health and usually recuperates at the hot spring villa."
"Hot Spring Villa?" Yan Ningshuang was stunned.
The princess nodded and said gently, "Yes, the hot spring villa is the best place to recuperate. I wanted to let you stay there for a while to recuperate, but it's good that you are here at the palace. You can also spend time with the old princess. She likes you very much."
The smile on Yan Ningshuang's face froze.
Zhao Yingqiu has always been well-behaved and has never done anything out of line. Every day, apart from paying her respects to the princess, she stays at the old princess's place, or stays in her room and rarely goes out.
However, compared to the old princess, the princess was not particularly friendly to Zhao Yingqiu, the cousin of her eldest daughter-in-law. Although she gave her the same amount of support as she did to Yan Ningshuang, she treated her equally. On the contrary, the old princess was closer to Zhao Yingqiu.
Therefore, for the next few days, Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu were handed over to the care of the princess, and the Yanbei Palace remained peaceful and nothing happened. After all, without the important parties present, even if someone wanted to stir up trouble, they couldn't.
However, now that she had entered the Yanbei Palace, Yan Ningshuang couldn't change her mind and go to the hot spring villa. Otherwise, her purpose would be too blatant, and the princess was no fool.
So during this period of time, Ren Yaoqi lived a very leisurely life.
On this day, Ren Yaoqi went to Madam Xu to deliver the last piece of music score she had repaired. She was going to get married in a few months, and Madam Xu told her to put the ones she was working on aside for the time being after she finished them, and deal with the rest next year. Anyway, it would take several years to complete the book revision.
Unexpectedly, Ren Yaoqi met Pei Zhiyan again when he went to Xu's house.
