Feng Yu Heng had participated in far too many palace banquets. In fact, when she had been harmed by Feng Chen Yu and Feng Zi Hao in Feng Tong county, Emperor Tianwu had specially organized a palace banquet for her in the name of helping her get over her shock. Although there would always be some unpleasant things happening at any palace banquet, generally speaking, palace banquets were not something she hated.
But this time was different! Feng Yu Heng's hatred for this palace banquet had reached a certain level, especially when she thought about how Emperor Tianwu would announce Consort Yuanshu as Imperial Concubine Gui at the palace banquet. Then, there would be a group of people from the Eighth Prince's faction fawning over her. She felt annoyed.
It was not jealousy. If Emperor Tianwu was a "normal" Emperor, if he had always doted on the six palaces equally, then this matter would not be considered much. But the problem was that Emperor Tianwu was not that kind of Emperor. The person who had always been by his side and in his heart was not Consort Yuanshu. In addition, she knew that the old Emperor was being controlled, but she was still unable to find out. This series of events caused Feng Yu Heng to feel a headache, and she began to dislike this palace banquet even more.
But even though she disliked it, she still had to go. At the very least, she had to grasp this opportunity to meet with Emperor Tianwu openly. She did not want to sneak around in the middle of the night to see a live sex scene. She had to see for herself just how much of a ruckus the old Emperor could cause. This also reflected the extent to which Emperor Tianwu was being controlled.
She did not have a good impression of the palace banquet, so she could not be bothered to pay attention to her clothes and makeup. Fortunately, she was now Royal Consort Yu and had the clothes that a princess or prince's wife should wear. Lady Zhou had already prepared them for her, so she did not need to spend too much effort to dress up. But Lady Zhou said to her: "This is the first year you are going to the palace banquet as the Princess Consort. I'm afraid there will be many people watching. Princess Consort, you have to be careful when you go to the palace."
Feng Yu Heng thought for a moment, but shook her head and said, "If things were like before, perhaps I would receive a lot of attention. But I'm afraid it's different this year. Most people's attention won't be on me. "
Today, Lady Zhou was personally helping her style her hair. It was said that it was a hairstyle made by the Princess Consort. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were learning from her. Hearing Feng Yu Heng say this, Lady Zhou's hand that was coiling her hair paused for a moment. Immediately following this, she sighed and said: "That's also true. To live such a good life, who knows what exactly happened on His Majesty's side. In short, Princess Consort, you have to be careful when you enter the palace. If you can manage something, then manage it. If you can't manage it, then just hide. There's no need to take on everything yourself. "
Feng Yu Heng knew that Lady Zhou was doing this for her own good. She was grateful and nodded: "Don't worry, I will."
Royal Consort Yu's clothes were a purple that matched Xuan Tianming's. However, there were many more female laces and gold and silver threads in the details. When she and Xuan Tianming stood together, they looked like a couple. All of the servants in the Imperial Palace Yu were envious and sighed at the pair.
Lady Zhou silently wiped away her tears. She remembered that when the Ninth Prince had just come back from the northwest, he had been wearing a mask and sitting in a wheelchair. It had made her anxious for a long time. Speaking of which, it was all thanks to this Royal Consort Yu. At the time, she didn't understand why the Ninth Prince had paid so much attention to the marriage that he didn't care about at first, and even gave such a large betrothal gift. But after so many years, step by step, until today, Lady Zhou felt that the betrothal gift at the time was too light. Such a good Princess Consort was worth using the entire world as a betrothal gift.
Feng Yu Heng followed Xuan Tianming onto the imperial carriage. The driver was Bai Ze. Huang Quan and Wang Chuan sat at the door of the imperial carriage. Xuan Tianming said: "Originally, the first New Year after our marriage should have been more lively. It's a pity that our luck was not good, so we can only do this. I always feel like I owe you."
"Then we'll make up for it in the future." Feng Yu Heng didn't pay much attention to this. She told Xuan Tianming: "According to our customs, after two people get married, they should go on a trip. Do you know what a trip is? It's a trip to a place far away from where we live. We won't bring anyone. It'll be just the two of us. It'll improve the relationship between husband and wife. "
Xuan Tianming also felt that traveling was a novelty, but his attention was still on Feng Yu Heng's other words: "What do you mean by your place?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled slyly: "I'm not telling you."
He rolled his eyes, but didn't ask any more questions. This girl had a lot of secrets, waiting for him to uncover them bit by bit. As long as he knew that this girl's heart was with him, that was enough. If he tied this little girl to his side, what could her secrets do? It would just add to the fun between husband and wife.
When the imperial carriage reached the main road of the Imperial Palace, they gradually encountered many other carriages that were also heading towards the Imperial Palace. Xuan Tianming, as the male guest, had to enter from Deyang Gate, while Feng Yu Heng had to go to Rui Gate. The imperial carriage first sent Feng Yu Heng to Rui Gate, and then turned back to Deyang Gate. When they finally reached Rui Gate, Bai Ze stopped the carriage. He lifted the curtain and said to the people inside: "Our imperial carriage is too big. It's hard to go in, unless … … we have a falling out with the carriages in front of us." As he spoke, he spread his hands and said: "In the past, when they saw the imperial carriage of the Imperial Palace Yu, people would take the initiative to give way. But now the situation in the Imperial Palace has changed. Many people are no longer afraid of us. But Your Highness, Princess Consort, this subordinate feels that we don't need to spoil their bad habits. Let's follow our old rules and use the whip to clear the way.
Xuan Tianming felt that these words were very reasonable. When he was about to nod, Feng Yu Heng said: "Wait!" She lifted the curtain and looked outside. As she looked, she said: "Don't force your way in. I'll just get off here." After she finished speaking, she pointed outside the window and explained to Xuan Tianming: "I saw Seventh Brother and Xiangrong. They just got off the carriage. I'll go with Xiangrong. You'd better hurry to the Deyang Gate so that you won't be blocked on your way back. We don't want to cause trouble at the entrance of the Imperial Palace today. If you want to throw a tantrum, leave it for when you're in the Imperial Palace. "After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked down the imperial carriage. Huang Quan and Wang Chuan quickly followed.
Xuan Tianming did not stop them. After Feng Yu Heng got off the carriage, he instructed Bai Ze to turn back. Bai Ze asked: "Aren't we waiting for Princess Consort?"
He shook his head, "No need. When has your Princess Consort ever been bullied?"
Bai Ze thought about it. That's true. It was always Feng Yu Heng who bullied others. When had she ever been bullied? So he touched his nose and stopped arguing. He drove the imperial carriage and left. And Xuan Tianhua's imperial carriage went slower. The reason was that he personally helped Xiangrong down from the imperial carriage. He even specially reminded Xiangrong about the rules in the Imperial Palace. When he saw Feng Yu Heng coming over, he nodded at her. Then he returned to the imperial carriage and followed Xuan Tianming's carriage towards Deyang Gate.
Xiangrong went forward and held Feng Yu Heng's hand, calling out: "Second Sister." Her little face was red and there was joy in her eyes that could not be concealed.
Feng Yu Heng naturally understood what this girl was happy about. These days, she got along very well with Xuan Tianhua. The relationship between the two of them had made a lot of progress. The little girl had been infatuated with Xuan Tianhua since she was ten years old. For Xiangrong, this kind of progress was a great thing.
She did not attack Xiangrong, only telling her: "A person's life in this lifetime is only a short few decades. Pursuing the happiness that you want is the most correct thing to do. Even if it is wrong, it is your own choice. It is good as long as you do not regret it."
Xiangrong nodded, telling Feng Yu Heng: "Second Sister has said this before. I have always remembered it. Second Sister is right. A person's life is only a few decades. Now, I feel that the days are passing very slowly. But looking back, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I do not want to wait until the day I grow old before regretting it. So even if it is wrong now, I do not care. At least I fought for it and worked hard. If I can have 20 years of a brilliant life, I would rather not have 70 years of dull life. "
As the two sisters spoke, Feng Yu Heng glanced around. Countless Madams and Young Misses glared angrily in Xiangrong's direction. There was even someone who did not hold back and loudly said: "She actually dares to touch His Highness the Seventh Prince. Why doesn't she take a look at what sort of person she is! She is just a daughter of a concubine, and a daughter of a concubine from a lowly family. What right does she have to enter the palace? What right does she have to stand with us? What right does she have to have His Highness the Seventh Prince personally send her here? And even personally help her out of the carriage? "
A series of questions and unwillingness were voiced out. Xiangrong heard it and lowered her head slightly, not wanting to cause trouble and speak too much. She even pulled Feng Yu Heng back a few steps and shook her head at Feng Yu Heng, indicating to Feng Yu Heng not to say too much.
But it was this kind of retreat that made those jealous people even more unrestrained. There were even some who felt that Feng Yu Heng also hid to the side. It was because the situation in the palace had changed. The Emperor's favour had also changed, so this Royal Consort Yu who had always been strong no longer had anything to rely on and was no longer the same as before.
Thinking like this, their courage grew again. Someone immediately said: "I heard that Feng Third Young Miss is now living in the Chun Palace! She really does not have any sense of shame. Without a marriage contract and not of marriageable age, she actually lives in His Highness the Seventh Prince's palace. What sort of situation is this? "
"Is it just living there?" Another person said sourly and viciously: "How can it be as simple as living in the Chun Palace. In my opinion, she most likely took the initiative to offer her body and climbed into His Highness the Seventh Prince's bed."
"Isn't that a whore? What's the difference between that and the prostitutes in the brothel? I never thought that a large family like the Feng family in the past would actually raise this kind of daughter. How embarrassing! "
Every sentence was worse than the previous. Feng Yu Heng did not speak up and only looked at Xiangrong. She wanted to see if the current 14 year old Xiangrong, after experiencing the changes in her family and living independently in Ji 'an County, had any great improvements in dealing with this sort of situation.
And at this moment, Xiangrong was also furious. She frowned and looked at those gossiping Madams and Young Misses, saying: "Since all of you are speaking behind my back, then I do not need to pretend that I did not hear you. It does not matter how you are all particular about me. My background and status are all there. There is no need for you to say it, everyone can see it. I only hope that all of you can accumulate some virtue in your words when you speak ill of others. If His Highness the Seventh Prince is the kind of person who can allow a girl to casually live in his palace and even casually climb into his bed, then, he is not worthy of all of you looking up to him like this. I am also not worthy of all of you being jealous of me like this. So all of you need to know that the person who was scolding those words just now was not me, Feng Xiangrong, but His Highness the Seventh Prince whom all of you worship to become a deity. "
