Ren Yaoqi's performance at the Qianjin Banquet was still fresh in everyone's memory, including Concubine Yun. Xiao Jingxi's earlier claim of possessing both talent and virtue had proven at least half true.
Xiao Jingxi was very happy with Concubine Yun's straightforward praise, and even smiled at Ren Yaoqi.
"What scriptures have you read? Tell me about them." asked Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun was talking about reading thoroughly, and Ren Yaoqi thought for a while before naming a few scriptures that he remembered more clearly.
Concubine Yun nodded, mentioned the names of a few other scriptures, and asked, "What about these?"
Ren Yaoqi said implicitly, "I've read it several times."
Concubine Yun glanced at Ren Yaoqi and asked her a few questions. Ren Yaoqi answered them one by one based on her memory.
Concubine Yun waved her hand and frowned slightly: "Alright, you read it better than me."
Ren Yaoqi stopped talking, and Xiao Jingxi laughed on the side.
Concubine Yun said, "Come over tomorrow afternoon. Just copy for half an hour every day. If you have any questions one day, just let someone come and tell me. You don't have to come either."
Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
Concubine Yun glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said, "I won't keep you for dinner. Please go to Shou'an Palace."
This time, Xiao Jingxi listened to Concubine Yun's words and stood up to say goodbye with Ren Yaoqi.
After the two came out of Shou'an Hall, Xiao Jingxi saw that Ren Yaoqi seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and told the truth: "I think the Concubine Dowager is not that difficult to approach." She just doesn't like her as her granddaughter-in-law very much. But it's a good thing that she doesn't make things difficult for her.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "Well, you are so nice, everyone should like you."
Young Master Xiao's ability to speak sweet nothings has almost reached its peak. So, talent is something that can be learned in many ways. Smart people can grasp everything quickly and don't need to be taught.
Ren Yaoqi blushed at Xiao Jingxi's praise.
The two men walked to the door of Shou'an Hall. This time they did not go in directly, but asked someone to go in and report at the door, and then waited obediently at the door for instructions.
Not long after, the maid from the old princess's courtyard came out and said to the two of them with an apologetic look, "The old princess has been feeling a little unwell since she came back. Why don't you two come back another day?"
Xiao Jingxi asked, "Has the doctor come to see him? Let's go in and check on the patient."
The nanny said hurriedly, "No, no, the old princess has already gone to bed. She's just had an old illness. She just took a dose of the medicine prescribed by the doctor. She will be fine after a good night's sleep. Please go back."
Xiao Jingxi asked a few more questions and insisted a few more times, but was rejected every time. In the end, he could only say goodbye with Ren Yaoqi with regret and disappointment.
In fact, they all knew that the old princess was unlikely to see them today, but whether to see her or not was one thing, and whether she came or not was another.
After leaving Shou'an Temple, the two planned to return. Halfway there, a subordinate came to report to Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi had no choice but to send Ren Yaoqi to Xiao Jinglin and go back to work. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for recommendations or monthly tickets.
