After inviting Ren Qining and the others into the mansion, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li personally accompanied them to see Mister Qing Yun.
Ren Qining and the others walked in the Prince Ding Mansion and couldn't help but show a trace of surprise when they saw the scenery of the mansion's courtyards. Although the Prince Ding Mansion was located in the center of Glass City, it was also the largest mansion in Glass City. But compared to the palaces of the other countries, it was naturally not enough. Even compared to the Prince Ding Mansion in the Chu capital, it was still a bit smaller. Needless to say, the mansion didn't have the richly ornamented rafters and painted rafters or exotic flowers that outsiders imagined. The front courtyard where government affairs were usually handled was clean and simple, but it didn't lose its grandeur. The courtyard where people lived in daily life was also quiet and peaceful.
This kind of mansion wasn't bad, but compared to Mo Xiuyao's current reputation, it was a bit shabby. Ren Qining looked at the white haired man walking in front of her, her gaze deep. This kind of behavior, if it wasn't that he really didn't want to rule the world, then he had a bigger plan. Very quickly, Ren Qining threw the first possibility to the back of her mind. If he didn't have the idea of ruling the world, then what was Mo Xiuyao fighting wars for?
Mister Qing Yun's temporary residence was a small and quiet courtyard in the depths of the mansion. In reality, although the Prince Ding Mansion wasn't big, it had all kinds of rules and regulations. Usually, many officials and generals that came and went to the front courtyard or the main courtyard where Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li lived. Normally, they wouldn't disturb other people. So the entire back half of the mansion was very quiet. Standing at the door, she asked the servant outside to go in and report. Ye Li then turned to look at the blue clothed woman beside Ren Qining and said: "Imperial concubine Yun, please stay for now. Go to the side hall to have tea."
Imperial concubine Yun was startled and looked at Ye Li with some dissatisfaction, saying: "This concubine came sincerely to celebrate Mister Qing Yun's birthday. What does princess mean?"
Ye Li frowned slightly and looked at Ren Qining: "Northern Region King, our Central Plains has never brought a concubine to celebrate a birthday. Northern Region King, please forgive us." Once she said this, Ren Qining's expression became a bit ugly. He was from the Central Plains and was born in the most orthodox royal family of the Central Plains. Even if the Lin royal family no longer existed, he didn't miss anything that he should learn. Ye Li's actions were clearly mocking him for his lack of etiquette.
"Your Majesty …" Ren Qining's face didn't give her face. she glared hatefully and then reached out to tug on Ren Qining's sleeve with tears in her eyes.
Beside her, Queen He Lan gave a hearty laugh and said, "Ding Wangfei must have misunderstood. Not to mention your Central Plains, even our North doesn't have this rule. It's just that Your Majesty likes Imperial Concubine Yun and has her serve you. Just have Imperial Concubine Yun wait outside for us to come out. " The Northern Region indeed didn't have such a rule. The nobles of the Northern Region were all led by the first wife. In the eyes of the nobles of the Northern Region, the concubines were no different from female slaves. Basically, the nobles of the Northern Region would never become someone's concubine.
Ye Li smiled, "So it's like that."
As they spoke, the servant who went in to report came out and invited everyone in. Imperial Concubine Yun quickly pulled on Ren Qining and looked at him pitifully. "Your Majesty …" Ren Qining frowned slightly and said: "Wait outside."
"Junior Lin Yuan greets Mister Qing Yun." In the small courtyard, Mister Qing Yun was originally brewing tea. After hearing the servant's report, he let people invite Ye Li and the others in. Without waiting for Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao to go forward and introduce them, Ren Qining stepped forward and bowed slightly.
Mister Qing Yun stopped and raised his head to look at Ren Qining. He said with confusion: "Lin Yuan? Although this old man is old, I still remember that the King of the Northern Region is surnamed Ren? "Ren Qining smiled faintly and said:" Lin Yuan is Ren Qining. Junior Lin Yuan greets Mister Qing Yun. "At the side, Mo Xiuyao's expression was slightly cold. No wonder Ren Qining was the first to come and greet Mister Qing Yun. Rather than saying it was to celebrate, it was better to say it was to annoy people. Back then, the head of the Xu family killed the last emperor of the previous dynasty and surrendered. After that, the Xu family was used by the successive emperors of Chu and had the reputation of being the head of the Confucians. Ren Qining's actions were clearly to remind Mister Qing Yun that the Xu family's current position was obtained by betraying the previous dynasty's imperial family.
Mister Qing Yun looked Ren Qining up and down for a while before saying with a smile: "So there is still a branch of the previous dynasty's imperial family. Not bad. For the Northern Region King to have such achievements, you should be able to comfort your ancestors. "
Ren Qining looked at Mister Qing Yun and asked in a low voice: "I wish to restore the mountains and rivers and revive the imperial family. Does Mister Qing Yun think it is possible?"
"Yes." Mister Qing Yun said: "There is nothing in the world that cannot be done. Why can't Mister Lin have this ambition? "
Ren Qining's eyes flashed and he asked again: "Does Mister Qing Yun think I will succeed?"
Mister Qing Yun was silent for a while before asking: "If the King of the Northern Jin really unifies the world, will the surname be Ren or Lin? Will the world be called the Northern Region or the Great Qin? " Hearing this, Ren Qining's expression changed slightly. He forced a smile and said: "It won't be too late to talk about it after the mountains and rivers are stabilized." Mister Qing Yun shook his head and said: "If the King of the Northern Jin can't make a decision, there will never be a day when he unifies the world." Ren Qining's face was slightly pale, but he remained silent and didn't say anything.
Ye Li walked up to him and smiled. "Grandpa, why are you making tea alone? Are Elder Su and Mister Xiuting not here? "
Mister Qing Yun smiled and poured a few cups of tea for them to sit down. He smiled and said: "They are playing chess in the study. I am old and can't bear to be bored, so I came out to drink a cup of tea. But where did Yu Chen and the other boys go these days? I didn't find someone to call them. Why didn't they come to see me, this old man? " Ye Li covered her mouth and smiled: "These days grandfather just let them rest. They are lying in the courtyard looking at their younger brother and sister." The two babies who were already more than a month old had now grown up. They were pink and tender and were very cute. The three little buns led by Mo Xiao Bao circled around the two babies every day when they had nothing to do. They didn't even like to play around on weekdays. How could they come to the small courtyard to listen to Mister Qing Yun's tutoring. "Grandfather is also bored in the manor. Li 'er let people send the boys to accompany grandfather to relieve boredom. Grandfather, don't think they are naughty. "
Mister Qing Yun waved his hand and said: "Forget it. Those few are more and more troublesome this year. It's not easy to be free for two days."
Seven or eight years old boys were at the age when cats and dogs disliked them. Mo Xiao Bao, this kind of naturally intelligent little rascal, was even more difficult to deal with. He took the younger ones to play around in the Wangfu. Everyone was afraid of him. If it wasn't for Xu Qing Chen before, now there was Ye Li to suppress him. He was afraid that he would play around outside the Prince Ding Mansion. But now for the two children who were just born not long ago, it was very rare to be quiet for a long time. Every time she saw Mo Xiao Bao lying beside the cradle and talking to the babies who didn't understand anything, Ye Li felt that Mo Xiao Bao would definitely be a good brother.
Accompanying Mister Qing Yun to talk for a while, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao accompanied Ren Qi Ning out. Don't know which sentence of Mister Qing Yun touched Ren Qi Ning. When he went out, his face was still a little pale. Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li just acted like they didn't see it. They ordered people to send Ren Qi Ning and others back to the post house to rest.
