Ren Yaoqi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was some hidden secret that she didn't know?
However, the princess's hesitation was only for a moment. If Ren Yaoqi hadn't been so attentive, no one would have noticed. The princess quickly exchanged glances with the prince, and then the prince, with a dignified look on his face, waved his hand, "Isn't she just a midwife? Nanny Xin, go call Nanny Gong and ask her to go to the Lei family."
The princess also nodded to Nanny Xin, who immediately lowered her head and retreated.
Seeing the worry on Ren Yaoqi's face, the princess comforted her gently, "It's okay. Madam Gong has some skills. With her help, your sister will be fine."
Ren Yaoqi nodded. The princess then asked about Ren Yaohua's situation, and Ren Yaoqi told her everything she knew.
Nanny Xin came back soon.
"I'll have Madam Gong sent directly to the carriage."
The princess nodded and instructed, "It's not convenient for Yaoqi to go to the delivery room. Nanny Xin, please go with her. It will be convenient if you need any help."
Nanny Xin immediately responded and left.
The princess said to Ren Yaoqi, "Although Nanny Xin isn't a midwife, she's old enough to have seen everything. She might be able to help out. Since it's not convenient for you to go to the Lei family, just wait for news from there."
Ren Yaoqi quickly thanked him.
The princess smiled and said, "We are all family, why should we thank you? Your Highness, don't you agree?" The princess glanced at King Yanbei, who had been acting arrogantly and majestically since the beginning.
"Hmm." King Yanbei nodded, acting like the head of the family.
A midwife had already been called in, so Ren Yaoqi didn't want to disturb the princess and the prince any longer. She sat for a while before taking her leave. The princess knew she was worried about her sister, so she didn't keep her any longer and just sent someone to take her back.
After returning from the palace, Ren Yaoqi still couldn't sit still. Ren Shimin saw her fidgeting and said, "Since you're worried, go over and take a look. If you can't go into the delivery room, you can wait outside the gate."
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and felt that what Ren Shimin said made some sense. If he went over and waited, he would be able to get the news first. So in the end, Ren Shimin accompanied Ren Yaoqi to go to the Lei family. After all, it was already late, and Ren Shimin was not at ease letting Ren Yaoqi go out alone. Besides, it would be better for him to go over and watch over her at this time.
However, Ren Yaoqi was afraid that if she went into the Lei family, she would disturb the children. After all, many families in Yanbei adhered to these rules. The princess and Nanny Xin had repeatedly emphasized this point before, so in the end Ren Shimin went in, and she waited in the carriage.
Fortunately, the weather in Yanbei in August was not cold, and there was a breeze at night and it was not stuffy. Ren Yaoqi sat in the carriage and waited for news from inside.
But before Ren Yaoqi had waited too long, he suddenly heard a few "knock knock knock" sounds, as if someone was knocking on the wall of the carriage.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage.
The lanterns of the Lei family were lit very brightly. Ren Yaoqi saw Xiao Jingxi standing under the lanterns. Xiao Jingxi had the light behind him, and his handsome features were shrouded in a layer of mystery in the hazy shadows, making him look even more unlike an ordinary person.
Ren Yaoqi held the car curtain in his hand and asked softly, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Jingxi whispered, "I just returned home and heard that you had been to the palace. I guessed you would come over, so I came to see you."
