Fei Cui Hall was filled with joyous singing and dancing, but Feng Yu Heng quietly retreated. When she arrived outside the hall, she immediately found a place where there was no one to hide her figure and quickly moved towards Winter Moon Palace.
She did not have any other motive for going there. It was just that Consort Yun had once told her that she wanted to steal the white tiger and send it to Chun Wang Fu to accompany her. Today, she entered the palace and wanted to take care of this matter while she was at it.
Winter Moon Palace was cold and cheerless, forming a stark contrast with the liveliness of Fei Cui Hall. The fact that there was no master in the palace was not known by everyone. Only a few close attendants were well aware of this. Then, they guarded the sleeping quarters every day and sent food in on time. To the outside world, they announced that Consort Yun was in a bad mood and did not want to see anyone.
This reason was reasonable. After all, everyone knew that the Emperor doted on the mother and daughter pair of the Eighth Prince and had long thrown Consort Yun to the back of his mind. It was understandable that Consort Yun was in a bad mood. In addition, Consort Yun's usual temperament was rather strange and unpredictable. It was normal for her to throw a tantrum at this juncture, so no one suspected anything.
When Feng Yu Heng arrived, the white tiger was sleeping in the cage, but it was still very alert. When it heard that someone had come, it immediately opened its eyes and pretended to be very fierce. But when he saw that the person that had come was Feng Yu Heng, his entire appearance changed. He immediately put on a fawning expression and repeatedly moved forward. If it was not for him being locked in a cage, perhaps he would have directly rubbed against Feng Yu Heng's body to act spoiled.
Speaking of which, this white tiger was also quite wronged. In the past, it could play freely in the junzhu fu and would even receive Feng Yu Heng's loving hugs from time to time. Ever since it came to Winter Moon Palace, ever since it grew up, it could only live in a cage. Even if it knew that it did not like to eat human flesh, no one would believe it.
Feng Yu Heng looked at the tiger's eyes and could almost guess what it was thinking. Thus, she reached out her hand and rubbed its large head a few times, saying in a small voice, "Be good, Xiao Bai. I know you've been wronged. I'll take you away from here. Soon, you'll be able to see that very beautiful Consort Yun and have someone to play with you."
Xiao Bai trembled. Consort Yun? Her way of playing was a bit special! Hehe, she actually wanted it to be her mount. It was really something that woman could think of. But after thinking about it, forget it, being a mount was better than being locked up here all day, it was so stuffy that it would get sick.
Therefore, it accepted its fate and nodded. Following that, it felt its vision blur and the tiger and the cage arrived in a strange space. Feng Yu Heng's voice rang in its ears again: "Stay here for a while, we'll leave the palace together later."
After successfully putting Xiao Bai into the space, Feng Yu Heng immediately returned to Jade Hall. When she returned to the front of the hall, she saw the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua standing outside the hall with his hands behind his back, his face filled with unconcealable worry.
She walked forward quickly and took the initiative to speak: "Seventh Brother, why are you standing here? It's very cold outside. "
Xuan Tianhua glanced at her and said directly: "Helping Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui nurse her body, it's really something that you could think of. Do you know that Gu techniques are pervasive? Do you know the dangers involved? "
She nodded and said honestly: "I understand everything, but this matter cannot be dragged on any longer. If Father Emperor continues like this, I will not be the only one in danger. I have already made up my mind, Seventh Brother, there is no need to persuade me anymore. "Her words were firm and represented her firm intentions. There was even a hint of annoyance in her emotions. An Emperor was harmed to this extent. Once she found out the truth, those people involved, she swore that she would not let any of them have an easy time.
"Alright, I won't persuade you anymore." Xuan Tianhua nodded and did not say anything else about this matter, but told her: "Just now, Ming mentioned to Father Emperor about letting Zirui leave the palace together tonight. Unfortunately, Father Emperor did not allow it."
"I thought of it." Feng Yu Heng also sighed and said helplessly: "Since he did not allow it, then he can only stay for one more night. Tomorrow night, I will think of a way to bring Zirui out of the palace and create the illusion that Zirui is missing. When that time comes, I will ask Seventh Brother to cooperate and petition Father Emperor to search for Zirui and accuse Eighth Brother of not being able to protect the safety of the palace. "
Xuan Tianhua was stunned and asked instinctively: "You can hide Zirui in an absolutely safe place? No one can find him? "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "I can."
He did not ask any further, only saying: "Don't worry, I will cooperate fully."
When he returned to the palace banquet, he felt that the atmosphere was a little off. The Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo's gaze once again landed on the table where Feng Yu Heng was at, and it still landed on Xiangrong's table. Xiangrong was a little uneasy, after all, this blatant stare, even if she was slow-witted, she would have noticed it. Moreover, Xuan Tiange even said: "Why does he keep looking at Xiangrong?"
Xiangrong instinctively moved closer to Feng Yu Heng's side, her small hands were cold and her face was pale. There was a bad feeling in her heart, causing her to almost be unable to breathe. She instinctively looked towards Xuan Tianhua, and he also happened to look in her direction. Their eyes met, and Xiangrong felt even more anxious. She whispered to Feng Yu Heng: "I want to talk to His Highness the Seventh Prince, Second Sister, how should I call him out?"
Feng Yu Heng understood Xiangrong's feelings, when a little girl felt danger, the first thing she wanted to do was to seek protection from her beloved. Unfortunately … … "It's too late."
She only had time to say this, and the singing and dancing stopped. Xuantian Mo, who was sitting on the Crown Prince's seat opposite her, had already stood up, and said to Emperor Tianwu: "Father Emperor, today is the New Year, This Son has a request, I hope Father Emperor will grant it."
"Oh?" Emperor Tianwu became spirited again, "What request does Mo-er have? Speak! No matter what it is, Father Emperor will grant it. "
When Emperor Tianwu said "grant it", Xiangrong suddenly trembled, and her face became even paler. She felt that the Eighth Prince's request was most likely related to her, but the other party was a prince, and he had the Emperor's support, once he mentioned the topic she did not want to hear the most, what should she do?
Xuan Tianhua's brows also furrowed together with Emperor Tianwu's words, Xuan Tianming, who was sitting next to him, whispered to him: "Imperial Concubine Mother said that she wanted to settle the matter between you and Xiangrong as soon as possible, I originally thought that it was too rushed, but now it seems that I was too late to act."
Xuan Tianhua ignored him, but thought for a while in his heart, then shook his head slightly at Xiangrong, indicating for her to calm down.
And at this time, Xuantian Mo's voice rose again, saying: "This Son wants to marry a girl as a secondary concubine, I beg Father Emperor to grant it."
With this, everyone was in an uproar.
The Eighth Prince wanted to marry a girl? And a secondary concubine? Who would it be?
Although there was a huge difference in status between a secondary concubine and a main concubine, a secondary concubine was just a concubine, although it was a prince's concubine, it did not have a high status. But the Eighth Prince's secondary concubine was different, this Eighth Prince would inherit the Emperor's throne in the future, once a secondary concubine entered the palace, other than the Empress, she would be conferred the position of Imperial Concubine Gui. Therefore, the Eighth Prince's secondary concubine was something that everyone wanted to marry for their own daughter, now that they heard the other party take the initiative to ask, in an instant, everyone started guessing who the person being asked would be?
Emperor Tianwu was also in high spirits, holding Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui's hand, he leaned forward and asked Xuantian Mo: "Which family's girl is Mo-er interested in? You are not young anymore, you should take in a concubine, not just a secondary concubine, you should take in a main concubine too. If it's really someone you like, why not take in a main concubine, as long as you are happy, Father Emperor will grant it. "
Xuantian Mo shook his head, saying: "This Son is only asking for a secondary concubine. That girl is just a concubine's daughter in a manor, she really cannot take on the position of main concubine, Father Emperor just needs to allow her to be This Son's secondary concubine. "
"Un," Emperor Tianwu nodded, "Then tell me, which family's girl is it?"
Xuantian Mo's lips curled up, his gaze moving towards Xiangrong, saying at the same time: "It is Feng family's concubine's daughter, Royal Consort Yu's younger sister, Feng Xiangrong."
"It's her?"
"It's actually her?"
Everyone started discussing, all of them widening their eyes to express their disbelief. But those who were quick-witted immediately understood this Eighth Prince's intentions, keeping the Royal Consort Yu's closest younger sister by his side, wasn't that the same as getting a hostage! Moreover, it was just a secondary concubine, a prince could have many secondary concubines.
Emperor Tianwu also did not think that his "most beloved" eighth son would actually take a fancy to a concubine's daughter, it was the Feng family's daughter, he found it a little novel. But this was nothing, it was just a secondary concubine, his son would naturally take whoever he liked, there was nothing strange about it. But he still asked his beloved concubine beside him: "Beloved concubine, what do you think?"
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui knew Xuantian Mo's thoughts and was very supportive of this. Hearing Emperor Tianwu ask her now, she glanced towards Feng Xiangrong and successfully saw Feng Xiangrong's pale complexion, as well as Feng Yu Heng's furious glare. So she smiled and said: "Feng family's Third Miss is Royal Consort Yu's younger sister, This Concubine believes that Feng family's Third Miss is definitely the same as Royal Consort Yu, a person of noble character, I hope Your Majesty can grant Mo-er's wish."
"Haha!" Emperor Tianwu laughed loudly, "Our Mo-er is finally enlightened! Alright, since you like it, then We will agree, there is no woman in this world that Our Mo-er cannot marry! "
With one sentence, this marriage was considered settled, but from start to end, no one asked Xiangrong whether she was willing or not, as if she did not have any thoughts, she was just an object, Xuantian Mo liked it, so he bought it, there was no room for rejection.
Xiangrong was angry and afraid, one hand digging into the other until it bled. But Feng Yu Heng held her hand gently, saying softly to her: "Don't be afraid, His Highness the Seventh Prince will have a solution."
Just as this was said, before the Seventh Prince's idea could come, the Fourth Prince, Xuan Tianyi, suddenly shouted: "Wait!" Then he stumbled forward, with an anxious expression, he knelt down towards Emperor Tianwu, saying: "Father Emperor, please do not rush to a conclusion, This Son also wishes to marry Feng family's Third Miss, Feng Xiangrong, as — — official consort!"
Everyone was in an uproar again, wondering why this Feng family's Third Miss suddenly became so popular? She was just a small concubine's daughter, it was fine if the Eighth Prince wanted her as a hostage, but what was wrong with the Fourth Prince? And he was even asking for an official consort? A concubine's daughter from a declining family, could she be a prince's official consort?
In an instant, Xiangrong became the focus of everyone, everyone's gaze was directed towards her, including Feng Fendai who was sitting in the corner.
Fendai also did not expect that such a play would occur in today's banquet, but it was fine, let the two sides fight! It would be best if both sides were injured in the end, then she would be able to gain some benefits in this chaotic world. It was just that she still felt a little sour in her heart, she did not know the source of this sour feeling, but she could not help but think of the people in the Feng manor in the past, and she could not help but ask in her heart: "Grandmother, Father, if you were still alive, would you have thought of today's situation? Would you have thought that the daughters of the Feng family were all as you wished, becoming people who could influence the court? It's just that this situation was not what we wanted … … "
