Chapter 394: The way to advance and retreat

Seeing that Rong Jingsi was having a good life, Rong Jingqiu did not stay at the He family for too long. She politely thanked and rejected the dinner invitation from He's mother and went back home by carriage.

He had a rare trip back to his parents' home, but he did not leave immediately. He saw Rong Jingqiu away, and then he walked back with his mother.

Rong Jingsi held the child and blessed the two of them, and left by tactfully, so she must have endless things to say to the mother and daughter.

"What do you say about the son-in-law? Other princes know that they have to make a comeback, so why do they have to just live by?" He's mother complained to the eighth prince. What can you do if you are not motivated? You can't keep your daughter suffering with him. Now it seems that the prince is just a little bit rare.

He said a little bored and lazy, "Mom, don't worry about this, he knows it."

She never nagged her husband in this regard. In her eyes, there is nothing wrong with being a prince of peace. The couple has always had a consensus on this regard.

He's mother sneered unhappily, "Do you have a number? What's the number he has? Why are you so at ease when using your dowry and silver?"

"Mom, if you do this again, I will go back." He felt uncomfortable, so he immediately turned around and walked out, and shouted to the people around him, "Don't you go and prepare a carriage?"

Seeing this, He's mother stomped her feet and said, "What an enemy." This time she didn't dare to complain anymore, so she stepped forward and pulled her daughter back, "Okay, I won't say he's okay now, right? You're all mothers, you're not so arrogant, you can't stand a word? There are so many women in his backyard, why did you endure it?" Finally, she couldn't help but sting.

He didn't say anything, what could she say? In this world, who is a little bit powerful and rich, doesn't hug him? Anyway, she has learned to be calm now, not be angry, not sad, not blame the world, and live the life as she should.

Envy and jealousy of Rong Jingqiu will only make her heart more unbalanced. She is no longer so concerned about Rong Jingqiu now. Anyway, she is not as good as she is not as good as her.

Seeing this, He's mother sighed. Her daughter was the only one who felt sorry for her. In short, no woman could pass through this? Although her younger son He Yin is now successful, she wouldn't be surprised if he is in trouble again one day.

"No matter what, it will be okay for you to have a good relationship with Princess Ninth." It would be a good thing if Zhao Yu could pull his son-in-law, and He's mother was a little optimistic.

He was silent. She was disgusted with her mother's words, but in fact she did this again. Not only did she have to have a good relationship with Rong Jingqiu, but she is also careful to maintain her relationship with the fourth princess Wu.

Wu has been sick for so many days, and she has given medicinal materials several cars. No matter what, it’s not a big deal that many gifts are not a big deal. Whoever asks her sister-in-law to count her as the most unconfident. She didn’t understand this principle when she got married, but now she is a mother. If she doesn’t understand it, it’s impossible to say it anymore.

"Mom, I know."

He's mother sighed again and gently stroked her daughter's hand. Only her child felt sorry for her.

After Rong Jingqiu returned, she told Zhao Yu how cute and well-behaved Rong Jingsi's daughter was all night. Obviously, she liked her daughter quite a lot.

Zhao Yu looked at her little mouth chattering there, so he picked her up and walked straight into the dormitory amid her screams, "What do you envy other people's daughter? Let's give birth to one by ourselves."

He wanted to have a daughter with Rong Jingqiu more than having a son, and a daughter who looked like her. Just thinking about it, he was extremely excited.

Rong Jingqiu surrounded Zhao Yu's neck. When he said something about giving birth to a daughter, her eyes suddenly lit up and she began to feel longing.

The couple had nothing to do next, so they just stayed in the mansion and were busy with the big event of having children. It was not until the Lantern Festival that they left the mansion again.

The emperor was in a bad state and took Xia Wei to the Hot Spring Palace to recuperate. He did not return to the palace to celebrate the festival, so he did not hold a family banquet in the palace.

Zhao Yu knew that Rong Jingqiu had always cared about Rong Jingji, so he took Rong Jingqiu to the East Palace to celebrate the festival. The prince was very happy to see the arrival of the couple.

However, he did not call Rong Jingji over, but directly asked someone to lead Rong Jingqiu to the yard where Rong Jingji lives. This behavior made Rong Jingqiu's heart sink, which shows that the prince is avoiding suspicion or avoiding causing trouble for Rong Jingji. From another perspective, Xiao Ling, the princess, is now the dominant family in the East Palace.

With her worries in mind, she didn't pay much attention to the people passing by. Until she was called by Concubine Qi, who was showing her worries, she turned to look at Concubine Qi, looked at her belly, and smiled, "Congratulations to Concubine Qi."

Concubine Qi touched her belly, and her face was both joyful and worried. "Happy." After a pause, "I can get pregnant with this child, and I am also a famous doctor recommended by the Ninth Princess. I will always remember this."

Rong Jingqiu smiled and didn't answer this. Concubine Qi could not remember her good deeds. She didn't care. The Qi family was not a good thing anyway, so she would laugh secretly if she didn't repay her for her revenge.

However, when Xiao Ling's family was dominant, Concubine Qi was still pregnant, which shows that the prince was extremely dissatisfied with the Xiao family. He would rather let Concubine Qi get pregnant than give Xiao Ling a child, which itself can explain many problems.

Sooner or later, the East Palace will become a mess, and she is even more worried about Rong Jingji. It would be better if she could get out early.

"Ninth Princess, Doctor Yang, do you know where he is now?" Concubine Qi asked tentatively.

Rong Jingqiu opened her eyes wide and said innocently, "Concubine Qi really asked me, I am not Dr. Yang's, who can know his whereabouts?"

As soon as Concubine Qi became pregnant, Yang Zhongwen offered to say goodbye, but Concubine Qi refused to let him go. However, Yang Zhongwen did not say goodbye to him one day and never found his whereabouts since then. For this reason, she got angry and felt that the person surnamed Yang was really ungrateful.

She was pregnant at the wrong time. The Crown Princess Xiao Ling looked at her like a poison. She was worried that the child would have a mistake and needed a capable doctor to protect her. Yang Zhongwen's refusal to stop her and caught her off guard, so she suspected that Rong Jingqiu was making trouble behind her.

When I heard that she had come to the East Palace, I went out to block her despite the cold weather.

"Concubine Qi should not come to me if she wants to find someone, but to search for Dr. Yang's nest." Rong Jingqiu gave a suggestion that was not a suggestion.

Yang Zhongwen left the capital through the channels she had arranged earlier. Now he is practicing medicine everywhere. The world is so big that he is determined to hide, so it is really hard to find. Not to mention Concubine Qi, even if she wants to find someone, she will return in vain.

Concubine Qi was quite unhappy when she got this answer, but she thought that Rong Jingqiu was now the princess of the county and the princess became more and more arrogant and domineering. She was about to establish a good relationship with Rong Jingji, so she politely said goodbye to Rong Jingqiu and walked back slowly by the two maids.

Rong Jingqiu looked at her back for a while and was about to turn around and leave, but the corner of her eyes looked at the rockery not far away. Xiao Ling, dressed in red, was staring at the direction of Concubine Qi's departure with a gloomy look. She couldn't help but shivered.

Xiao Ling's eyes turned, she saw Rong Jingqiu, and greeted her with a smile.

Rong Jingqiu nodded and said hello.

The two did not talk, but turned around and went their own way.

Rong Jingqiu understood that in Xiao Ling's eyes, the pregnant concubine Qi was much more threatened than Rong Jingji. In the past, Rong Jingji had the title of taking care of the emperor's grandson. Now that the emperor's grandson has been in Xiao Ling's hands, where is there any threat to the unpopular Rong Jingji?

Thinking of this, her heart relaxed.

This time when she returned to Rong Jingji's residence, she looked at the surrounding environment. It was much smaller than her original residence, and the room seemed a little cramped, which was a sharp contrast with the previous luxury.

Her brows were frowning tightly. When she saw Rong Jingji come out to greet her with a smile, she grabbed her hand, "Why are you moving here?"

"Sister Three, don't be angry, I asked." Rong Jingji hurriedly said, waved his hand to signal the people around him to retreat. She pulled Rong Jingqiu to the inner room to talk and personally made tea to entertain her.

Rong Jingqiu came in and felt that the room was quite warm. He knew that Rong Jingji would rather show that he was being treated harshly, so his brows let go, "Is the situation in the East Palace tense? You moved here to avoid suspicion?"

"As long as I can't hide anything from my third sister." Rong Jingji presented the brewed tea to Rong Jingqiu. "The prince did not agree at the time, but the situation was better than others. If I was treated preferentially, the princess would probably have to make trouble. I also wanted to avoid her sharpness, so I took the initiative to come to the most remote courtyard of the Eastern Palace, and the prince didn't come to me, so they were just right."

"Sister Six, this is not the life you should live..."

"Well, what should I do? I'm so open now. I'm not using any kind of use to blame others. It's better to live this life steadily."

Rong Jingqiu felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw Rong Jingji's calm look. In the early years, she had never thought of getting close to her because she was Aunt Fu's daughter, but now, the two are nothing worse than their relatives.

"I saw the princess who came to the crown princess' knees and raised..."

Rong Jingji waved her hand and said indifferently, "That's nothing. As long as she doesn't have children, she has to be nice to the emperor. It's not a big deal for the emperor to be by my side."

Seeing Rong Jingji's open-minded look, Rong Jingqiu felt that her heart was tighter. How could the child who had been taking care of for so long be without feelings? Rong Jingji was pretending to be strong, or she really looked up. Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Sixth Sister, I think the resentment of the Crown Princess is getting heavier. Otherwise, I will find a way to arrange for you to leave the palace. It would be better if I could avoid it."

As for the future, I can only make plans slowly.

Rong Jingji frowned. In fact, she was disappointed for a long time when she sent the little princess away. If she didn't mention this, she didn't want Rong Jingqiu to be sad. She was still a little reluctant to leave if she really wanted to leave.

"Sister Three, I'll think about it again..."

"Six sister, the situation in the East Palace is unstable, and it may be of no benefit to stay here. The emperor's grandson is not your responsibility now, so you don't need to stumbling over it."

Rong Jingji smiled, "Three sister, I can't save it. It's just that because the situation is not good, I can't cause trouble for you and your third brother-in-law."

After she entered the Eastern Palace, even if she had no substantial husband-wife relationship with the prince, she was nominally the prince's woman, so how could it be easier to leave?

"Besides, I'll stay here, maybe I can help you and your third brother-in-law..."

Rong Jingqiu hurriedly interrupted her, "Don't say this. If you have to sacrifice yourself to achieve your wish, then the third sister would rather not have this honor. Sixth sister, you should think of yourself, not an irrelevant person."

Rong Jingji was silent, and Rong Jingqiu didn't urge him. The two sisters sat there thinking about their own thoughts.

After a while, Rong Jingji then said, "I'm afraid that my departure will affect my father and younger brother, especially Brother Lu, will have to undergo the provincial examination. I don't want him to be distracted. This child has no talent in studying. He can get his current grades through hard work. I'm afraid that it will affect his future..."

"You are so blinding. If Brother Lu knew that you could have a new life, he would only be more excited. Six sister, we all want you to be happy."

"I know." Rong Jingji smiled again. This is her family, and only her family cares about her so much.

The two sisters didn't say much about this topic. After all, everyone is a clear-headed person, and it is enough to know what the other person thinks.

Rong Jingqiu stayed to have a meal with Rong Jingji. She wanted to see what Rong Jingji's living treatment was like. As a result, she saw that the meal was OK, and the complaints in her heart were less.

But after having a warm dinner, it was time to part. Rong Jingji couldn't bear to leave Rong Jingqiu, so he took her hand and sent it all the way until it snowed outside again. Rong Jingqiu was afraid that she would be frozen, so she hurriedly urged her to go back.

Rong Jingji walked back one after another and entered this shameful place. Rong Jingqiu was the first family she had met in more than two years. How could she really bear to separate? She was so cold by nature that she couldn't help but wet her eyes.

The people around her persuaded her again and again, and then she slowly stopped crying and began to think carefully about Rong Jingqiu's proposal.

On the way to the East Palace and returning home, Rong Jingqiu was extremely silent. Seeing that she was not open-minded, Zhao Yu provoked her jaw and said, "What are you worried about?"

Rong Jingqiu patted his hand lightly and said bluntly: "The Crown Princess is not a good role to play with, I am worried about the Sixth Sister."

Zhao Yu had no feeling about whether Rong Jingji's situation was good or bad, but this affected his wife's emotions, which was no small matter. "The prince is winning over General Xiao, so he can no longer give Rong Jingji preferential treatment."

During the meal, General Xiao came uninvited and did not have much respect for the prince. He saw all of this. The prince's anger was depressed in his heart. He would break up with General Xiao sooner or later, but during this period, it would be hard to say that Rong Jingjicheng would not become cannon fodder.

"I know." Rong Jingqiu smiled bitterly, "It is actually a good thing for the prince not to give preferential treatment to the sixth sister, otherwise he would become a thorn in the eyes of the princess," he paused, "Actually, I have an idea."

Zhao Yu smiled when he heard this, "What else can we couple not say? If you have any ideas, just say it directly."

Rong Jingqiu lay in Zhao Yu's arms and whispered a few times in his ear, then nudged his shoulder, "Is it feasible?"

"It's not difficult." Zhao Yu said authentically without thinking.

Rong Jingqiu's eyes lit up, which was the way she could think of as long as she could advance and retreat.
