The empress dowager was astonished by Lady Xuanji's beauty as well.
She was so beautiful!
She had seen Lady Xuanji before.
Back when Feng Wu was born, the empress dowager had summoned Lady Xuanji because of the unusual phenomenon. Back then, Lady Xuanji looked pale and lost, but she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Thirteen years had passed …
The empress dowager looked at her hands. They had aged a lot, but Lady Xuanji's face was still as pure and flawless as that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. She was still a stunning beauty.
Time was a cruel killer, but the empress dowager didn't see a single trace of it on Lady Xuanji's face.
"Your Majesty, my beautiful mother is here. What can I do for you?"
Feng Wu frowned when she saw that Emperor Wu was staring at her.
She regretted it.
She should have turned down her mother's summons. She didn't know what kind of trouble her mother was going to get herself into.
"Ahem —"
Emperor Wu cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.
Emperor Wu's eyes had been glued to Lady Xuanji ever since she showed up.
Emperor Wu gestured at the chief steward.
The chief steward took out the imperial edict he had prepared.
"Lady Xuanji, a beautiful lady, a virtuous lady, a good teacher, and an outstanding student in the written exam … She is hereby made a second-ranked lady …"
Feng Wu's eyes lit up.
Second-ranked lady? That wasn't a bad idea.
With this title, no one would have the guts to mess with the beautiful lady even if she went out.
Moreover, Feng Wu's aunt, who always thought highly of herself, was actually a third-ranked lady.
However, the beautiful lady was still bewildered.
That made sense. To her, a third-ranked lady and a second-ranked lady made no difference.
However, if Feng Wu had done well in the written exam, why hadn't she been rewarded before?
Feng Wu frowned.
Something didn't feel right, and she felt uneasy.
Feng Wu hadn't thought about that question since she left the imperial palace. In the end, she decided to ask Lady Northern Feng about it.
The Feng clan.
There had been two visits from the imperial palace, and Lady Wang had to have heard about it.
"What's going on here and there?" First Madam felt a little uneasy.
Feng Liu had been hurt by Feng Wu before, and she had finally recovered. She said grumpily as she ate, "Feng Wu must have caused trouble. The imperial palace is dealing with her now." Feng Wu nodded.
"Really?" Lady First asked doubtfully.
"It's very likely to be true!" The more Feng Liu thought about it, the more convinced she was. She put down the bowl, took a cup from the maid, and rinsed her mouth. She then said, "That granny from the imperial palace wasn't very nice when she came to invite me."
First Madam looked at Granny Gui.
Gui Momo nodded, "The Momo in the Palace indeed have a very serious attitude."
Feng Liu went on. "Mother, look. Not only did Feng Wu go in, another person came to take her mother away. Something must have happened. Given Feng Wu's ability to stir up trouble, she must have gotten herself into big trouble!"
First Madam frowned. "Then what should we do?"
There was no way Feng Yanfeng didn't hear what Lady Wang and Feng Liu said.
He frowned deeply.
Had Feng Wu caused trouble again? Did he offend the royal family this time? Would it affect his official position?
Just then, footsteps came from outside.
"Lady Xuanji and Miss Wu are back —"
Lady Wang and the others put down their chopsticks.
