Xiangrong rarely spoke to people like this, she was usually warm and friendly, even a little timid and weak. But now that these words were said, even Feng Yu Heng could not help but want to cheer for her.
The little girl had finally grown up, no longer weakly following behind her, no longer waiting for her to stand up for her for everything, and no longer being slapped like that year at the palace banquet outside Rui Gate. Xiangrong now knew how to counterattack, knew what kind of words to use to counterattack the other party to obtain the best effect.
For example now, when Xiangrong said these words, those Madams and Young Misses who were originally spouting vulgarities were also shocked, immediately reflecting on themselves. Only then did they realise that they were indeed busy with envy, jealousy and hatred, and forgot that at the same time that they were saying those words, they were anxious to tarnish the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua who was as pure as water in their hearts. And tarnishing Xuan Tianhua was something that was not allowed in their hearts, even if it was them who tarnished it, they would feel bad about it. So, once Xiangrong said this, those people immediately stopped moving, they did not even dare to refute, only wishing that they could say Amitabha a few more times in their hearts, praying that the gods did not hear what they said just now, praying even more that it would not reach Xuan Tianhua's ears.
Because of the changes in the situation in the palace this year, Feng Yu Heng lost the right to enter the palace in advance, no longer having the privileges she had in the past, she could only line up outside Rui Gate with everyone else, shivering in the cold wind on such a cold day.
And she was not the only one who lost the privilege, they had only stood at the end of the line for a short while, Xuan Tiange and Fung Tianyu walked over from the front, standing together with Feng Yu Heng and Xiangrong. Without waiting for Feng Yu Heng to ask, Xuan Tiange took the initiative to speak: "I ended up the same as you, the people guarding the palace gates did not allow me to enter first, saying that I am only a princess from a Prince's family and not the Emperor's woman, so I do not have the right to enter the palace in advance. Even my Imperial Concubine Mother was blocked back, angering Imperial Concubine Mother so much that she simply said that she was sick and returned home, it's fine if I don't participate in this palace banquet. Heng, if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to see Imperial Uncle, if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to see for myself what he had become, I would have gone back with Imperial Mother. Participating in this lousy palace banquet is truly depressing! "Xuan Tiange muttered, holding Feng Yu Heng and Xiang Rong's hands with an unhappy expression.
Of course, Feng Yu Heng could understand her feelings. Even she, who was conferred the title of Princess Ji An, felt quite embarrassed, let alone a princess of a country. But so what? The Imperial Palace was Consort Yuanshu's world. Today, they entered the Imperial Palace as if they were treading on thin ice. They were no longer as glorious as before.
Thinking like this, Feng Yu Heng said softly to Xuan Tiange and Fung Tianyu: "Today is different from the past, after entering the palace, we will sit together, you guys have to endure more, don't get angry. There are some things that just need to be listened to. If there are any questions, we can talk about it after we leave the palace. Do you understand? "
Xuan Tiange furrowed her brow tightly and asked her softly: "Is the situation in the Imperial Palace very serious?"
Fung Tianyu also said: "I heard Father say that the current Emperor is like a completely different person compared to the past. There are times when he feels that someone is wearing a human skin mask and sitting on the dragon throne. Heng, you definitely know more than us. How about you tell us about it so that we can have an idea and avoid any mishaps after entering the Imperial Palace. "
Feng Yu Heng thought about it and found it inconvenient to talk about it in detail, only saying: "His Majesty is still the same His Majesty from before. It's just that he has been controlled by someone using a special method, causing his personality to change greatly. He looks like a completely different person from before. But all of this was not His Majesty's original intention. He himself does not even know what he is doing. We are also trying our best to think of a way to save him. It's just that we do not have any good ideas right now. This matter is very troublesome and it is inconvenient to talk about it here. Either way, you should have an idea in your hearts. After entering the Imperial Palace, just act carefully, especially towards Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince. Try to have as little contact as possible or avoid contact altogether. "
Feng Yu Heng did not have the intention of scaring the two of them, but the current situation in the Imperial Palace was like this. This group of people belonged to the Ninth Prince's faction. It was possible that the other party would take the initiative to find trouble with them. Of course, the few of them who were found trouble were not people who were afraid of trouble. But in the current situation, it was better to have one less trouble than one more trouble. Everything would have to wait until the crisis on Emperor Tianwu's side was resolved. Only then would they be able to take revenge and repay grudges.
Xuan Tiange and Fung Tianyu both furrowed their brows tightly, their faces full of worries. And at this time, those Madams and Young Misses who were rendered speechless by Xiangrong earlier seemed to have calmed down. They felt that they would not be able to get away with their quick tongues, so they might as well be more direct. Anyway, the one they hated was only this Feng Third Young Miss, so they would teach her a lesson. They could not let her have an easy time today.
Therefore, a Young Miss squeezed in front of Xiangrong, without saying anything, she stepped on Xiangrong's shoe fiercely. After stepping on her, she did not forget to turn the tables on her, shouting loudly: "You're the daughter of a concubine from a lowly family, where are you putting your foot? You almost caused this Young Miss to fall! "
Looking at Xiangrong again, not mentioning the large imprint on her fine embroidered shoe, the accessories at the corner of her skirt were also crushed. Yet that Young Miss was still scolding her, saying that Xiangrong delayed her landing.
Xiangrong felt so wronged that tears were in her eyes. Xuan Tiange wanted to stand up and support Xiangrong, but was stopped by Feng Yu Heng. But she heard Feng Yu Heng raise her voice and say to Xiangrong: "Xiangrong, you are already 14 years old. You are a grown girl. You cannot wait for Second Sister to support you. Remember, our Feng family's principle is, if people do not offend us, we will not offend them. If people offend us, there is no need to hold back. If they need to be scolded, if they need to be hit, hit them. There is no need to worry that the people in the palace who can make decisions will find out. No one will go as far as to report such a small matter to the palace. If the Imperial Concubines even care about a fight between little girls, that would be too much of a loss of face. "
With these words, the person who wanted to bring Feng Yu Heng's words into the palace stopped, fearing that they would speak too much and cause trouble for the Imperial Concubines. It was just a fight between young girls outside the palace. If the Imperial Concubines had to worry about this sort of thing, to put it bluntly, it would be like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. There was no need.
Xiangrong heard Feng Yu Heng's words and nodded. Although she would not go to the extent of fighting with people, she still lowered her head to look at the accessory on the corner of her dress that was stepped on and felt a little heartache. When he saw that the skirt of the culprit was also covered with an accessory, he squatted down and tore off that person's accessory without saying a word. When he pulled, he used a little too much strength, so much so that a piece of the young lady's skirt was torn, causing her to let out a delicate cry.
But after this delicate cry, it attracted a reprimand from the palace guards who were patrolling to maintain order: "Outside the Imperial Palace, it is forbidden to make a ruckus." With these words, that young miss' thoughts of fighting with Xiangrong was extinguished.
She gritted her teeth in anger, unwillingly and fiercely throwing out a sentence: "You are not worthy of His Highness the Seventh Prince at all!"
But at this moment, another imperial carriage appeared on the way here and hurried over. Everyone turned their heads to look and found that it was Chun Palace's imperial carriage. It was the Seventh Prince, Xuan Tianhua, who had left and returned.
Xuan Tian Hua got out of the carriage under everyone's expectant and puzzled gazes. The madams and young misses that had been cursing earlier all fell silent. All of them stared blankly and piously in Xuan Tian Hua's direction. They were just short of kneeling and worshiping him. But Xuan Tianhua did not even bother with them, walking straight towards Xiangrong, a woman's cloak was draped over his arm.
Only when he got close did he speak: "I got off in a hurry, you forgot your cloak in the carriage. You still have to wait outside for a while, be careful not to catch a cold. " After saying this, he personally draped the cloak over Xiangrong and tied the straps on the front. Only then did he pat her shoulder, saying: "After the Imperial Banquet ends, wait for me outside Rui Gate, I will come over to bring you back to the manor."
These few words caused the madams and young misses to gasp, thinking that this deity had descended to the mortal world? Why was he so good to this concubine's daughter? Every sentence was ambiguous, causing them to blush and feel jealous. They hated that they could not be the one being taken care of by the cloak, as long as they could also receive a word of concern from the Seventh Prince, they would be willing to die!
But Xuan Tianhua could not possibly give them any concern, on the contrary, he even gave them a word of advice because of the words he said earlier. He said: "What kind of woman I want to be by my side, it is not up to you to say whether she is worthy or not." After saying this, he finally turned around and returned to the imperial carriage. Only when the imperial carriage gradually disappeared into the distance did these madams and young misses regain their senses, looking at Xiangrong with even more jealousy, but they could not say anything else.
Xuan Tiange found it novel, using her elbow to nudge Xiangrong, teasing: "Damn girl, did you take down my Seventh Brother? How come I did not know about such a huge matter? Aren't you doing a little too good at keeping it a secret? "
Xiangrong's little face had been red ever since Xuan Tianhua put the cloak on her, she was so embarrassed! Now that Xuan Tiange asked this, she wished that she could find a hole to hide in. But she still remembered what Consort Yun and Feng Yu Heng had said before, they both said that girls should not be too submissive, they should make decisions for themselves and be more proactive. Thus, her heart became clear again. Looking again at the young miss who had stepped on her shoes, she reached out and returned the accessory that she had pulled from the corner of the other's dress. After the young miss received it, she then said: "Just as you all know, I am currently living in the Chun Palace. You all can use your imagination as you wish and imagine what happened between His Highness the Seventh Prince and I. As long as you all have the heart to tarnish the purest person in the world, I have nothing to say. Anyway, all of this is my own choice, it has nothing to do with you. Instead of harboring jealousy and feeling apologetic towards me, why not think more about your own matters is more important. Girls will have a day when they get married, only idiots will worry about other people all day long. Today is the first day of the new year, it is inauspicious to cause trouble, everyone understands this rule, right? "
She said a few simple words, causing everyone to be speechless. After that, some people said that the daughters of the Feng family were all eloquent, Feng Yu Heng was eloquent, Feng Chenyu in the past was also not bad, there was also Feng Fendai who was even more amazing, only now did they know, the weakest one was also not to be trifled with!
Finally, the long queue started to move forward in an orderly manner, people handed in their invitations and entered the palace one after another. Finally, Feng Yu Heng's group also walked through Rui Gate, the moment they entered the Imperial Palace, Xuan Tiange said: "This Imperial Palace that I have played in since young, why does it look so unfamiliar today? Even the air is not as fresh as it used to be! "
