Reality proved that Consort Yun was quite good at pretending. Once the Winter Moon Palace Master's aura was brought out, it instantly stunned the crowd of Ji'an County commoners.
Not to mention that this was the first time the commoners had seen an imperial consort, even Qian Fengshou was seeing the legendary Consort Yun for the first time! He wanted to take a few more looks, but the rules were greater than the heavens. He was just a small official and could only lower his head in front of an imperial consort. How could he dare to covet her? Thus, Qian Fengshou knelt there and watched the wheels of the imperial carriage pass in front of his eyes. Only then did he stand up and follow closely behind the imperial carriage. When the imperial carriage stopped in front of Princess Ji'an fu, he went forward to bow again.
In order to see the commoners, Consort Yun had already walked out of the carriage with the help of the servants. Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming were naturally on her left and right. At this time, the two were personally helping Consort Yun out of the carriage. Seeing Consort Yun pretend to be careful as she slowly walked, Xuan Tianming's lips twitched. He thought to himself, This mufei ah! After being locked up in the palace for so many years, she seemed to have calmed down on the surface, but in reality, her personality had not changed at all. If it wasn't for the sake of putting on an act for outsiders to see, she probably would have directly jumped out of the imperial carriage. There was no need for others to help her.
Everyone very quickly entered the imperial daughter's manor. Feng Yu Heng had not returned for a long time, and there were some changes to the manor compared to before; however, she was not unfamiliar with these changes because they were all things that she had suggested in her letters. This included the newly dug canals, the drainage system that connected to the outside of the fu, a simple shower, some tools that imitated the later generations, and some daily necessities that Feng Yu Heng often sent people to deliver. Even the servants' clothing was different from the ones in the capital. It was not as complicated as the ancient clothing. It was simpler and more convenient for daily work.
Consort Yun felt that everything in this Ji Manor was very fresh. Even though Feng Yu Heng would often send her some new toys, compared to such a large scale change, Chun Wang Fu and Imperial Palace Yu were in the capital and were much more restrained.
Seeing the surprise in Consort Yun's eyes, Xuan Tianming helplessly whispered, "So many people are watching! Don't act like a villager entering the city. You are an imperial concubine! What have you not seen? "
Consort Yun rolled her eyes at him and replied in a low voice, "I've never seen anything like this before! Look at the shoes they're wearing. I've never seen them before. I've also never seen their clothes. Their hair is also fresh. No matter how I look at it, this mansion is much better than your two princes. "
Xuan Tianming also admitted that this place was indeed very good, but his Imperial Palace Yu was not bad either. "Heng Zheng has also renovated my place quite well."
"That's right! But old seven's place is much worse. "Consort Yun sighed," It's impossible to not have a woman in the mansion. " Finishing, she quickly turned her head to search the crowd. Scanning the area, her gaze finally stopped on a woman. She smiled and waved at that woman: "Come!"
That woman was none other than An shi. At this time, seeing Imperial Concubine Yun greet her, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only go forward and salute in a proper manner; however, she was stopped by Imperial Concubine Yun: "In-law, there's no need to be so polite. We will become a family very quickly."
When these words were said, Feng Yu Heng almost couldn't continue listening. What! Didn't you come to propose marriage? The other party hasn't agreed yet and you're even calling her in-law. Looking at Consort Yun's young appearance and then looking at An shi's youthful appearance, she felt that the term in-law was not close to the two of them. Thus, she quickly reminded: "Consort mother, if you have anything to say, let's talk in the main hall!" After saying this, she turned to Qian Fengshou and said: "Official Qian, we came here to deal with some private matters. You don't need to be too nervous. Go do your own things!"
Qian Fengshou was stunned. She didn't need him to accompany her? As the official of Yu Zhou, how could he not accompany an important person who came to this small place? But when he saw Consort Yun holding An shi's hand and not letting go, and then he looked at the Feng family's third young miss who had a shy expression, he somewhat understood. However, he turned his gaze to Xuan Tianming and thought in his heart: Could it be that the Ninth Prince wants to take a concubine? How could this person be like this? With such a good wife like Princess Ji An, how could he still want to take a concubine? He even wants to take her little sister. What is this? This really disappointed him. If he had the chance, he would write a letter to his son, Qian Li. Following this kind of general, there was no future!
Xuan Tianming saw that Qian Fengshou's gaze gradually revealed disdain and his face couldn't help but sink. He coldly said: "Official Qian, what are you still standing here for? The imperial daughter's manor does not have any tea for you to drink today! I have come on behalf of my seventh imperial brother to ask for a marriage. This is a private matter. Official Qian shouldn't get involved. "
"Uh … …" For the seventh imperial brother! Qian Fengshou suddenly realized. That's right, the seventh prince was also Consort Yun's child. So it turned out that she came to ask for a marriage for the seventh prince. Thinking of this relationship, Qian Fengshou's expression immediately changed. He had a respectful and worshipful attitude towards Xuan Tianming. This angered Xuan Tianming so much that he secretly decided to take revenge on Qian Li.
This was Feng Yu Heng's territory. Naturally, she had to take care of the matters of receiving guests. The servants of the manor were very well trained, and there was basically no need for Feng Yu Heng to worry about them. They were very considerate and did not lack manners, as they brought everyone into the main hall. After tea and snacks were served, only three servants were left inside to take care of things. The rest of the servants retreated outside to wait, so as to avoid disturbing the master's discussion.
Consort Yun pulled An Shi all the way until she sat down. She even insisted that An Shi sit next to her. How could An Shi dare? After refusing a few times, she finally sat on the left side. It was the seat closest to Consort Yun. Xiangrong was also at her side. Her face was a little rosy and looked like a young daughter waiting to get married.
But An Shi was not happy. She even felt a little worried. She knew that this marriage could not be rejected. She felt bitter in her heart and her expression was heavy.
Consort Yun was an imperial concubine after all. With her status, it was not good for her to directly ask. Since Xuan Tianming and Xiangrong had followed along, this matter should naturally be handled by them. So with Xuan Tianming taking the lead, the husband and wife finally spoke about the purpose of this trip.
An Shi listened to them very seriously. She also looked carefully at the list of betrothal gifts that Xuan Tianming handed over. To be honest, she was moved from the bottom of her heart by Consort Yun's sincerity. She was also happy that Xiangrong could marry Xuan Tianhua and become sisters-in-law with Feng Yu Heng. But it just so happened that Xuan Tian Hua was a prince. This caused her to feel very resistant.
Feng Yu Heng saw that An Shi was uncomfortable. Just as she wanted to say something, Consort Yun could not hold it in anymore. She directly said to An Shi: "In-law, This One … … sigh, forget it. We are all family. I will not be This One. You are treating me like an outsider. Let me tell you! I have taken a liking to Xiangrong. Our family's Old Seventh has also taken a liking to her. Today, we came with the greatest sincerity to propose marriage. I hope that In-law can give a straightforward answer. Do you agree or not? If you agree, I will go back as soon as possible to prepare for their big wedding next year. If you don't agree … … then I will think of another way. "
Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming both facepalmed. This chatterbox.
Seeing that An Shi was still silent and frowning without speaking, Consort Yun asked with uncertainty: "Or does In-law feel that I am not sincere enough to bring Old Ninth and Xuan Heng over? That's right. Engagement has always been decided by the parents. There seems to be a matchmaker's job in between. The child's father did not show up. But you also know that the child's father's identity is a little awkward. It is not convenient for him to go out. "
Xuan Tianming really could not bear to continue listening. He coughed a few times and said: "Father Emperor is busy with government affairs."
Feng Yu Heng also followed up and said: "That's right! Father Emperor cannot leave the capital so easily. "After saying this, she could not help but feel emotional. This Consort Yun was also quite fierce! When she spoke, she could compete with Emperor Tianwu! Thinking back to when they first met Consort Yun, she really put on a good act in Winter Moon Palace. But who knew that once she left the palace, her true nature would be revealed and she would be like this. No wonder Emperor Tianwu was so infatuated with her. It turned out that the two of them had the same personality.
The two of them tried to smooth things over for Consort Yun, but Consort Yun did not appreciate it at all. Waving her hand, she ignored them and said to An Shi: "Dear mother, don't listen to their nonsense. These two children do not understand anything. Although Hua-er's father is the Emperor, this matter concerns the child's marriage. If In-law insists on having him come out, he must do it for me! In-law, just say it! As long as you say the word, I will have someone send a letter back to have the old man come over! "
An Shi was dazed from hearing this. This really was her first time coming into contact with such an important person. Over the past few years, princes had been common, but she had not seen imperial concubines! The imperial concubines in the palace were like this? The legendary mysterious and powerful Imperial Concubine Yun, who was favored by the heavens, was like this?
Just as An Shi was in a daze, a servant rushed in from outside. After saluting, he looked at everyone. In the end, he chose to say to Feng Yu Heng: "Reporting to Imperial Daughter, His Highness the fourth prince requests an audience with Madam An!"
"Hm?" Feng Yu Heng frowned and thought to herself that this was not good. For the fourth prince to choose this sort of time to appear, it definitely was not something good.
She was not the only one who thought this way. Practically everyone in the room thought this way, especially Feng Xiang Rong. Upon hearing the words His Highness the fourth prince, her face immediately fell, as a bad feeling filled her heart.
But An Shi felt that the fourth prince appearing at this sort of time was truly an act of relief. Her mind was in a mess, and she really wanted to buy some more time to think about it. She also wanted to discuss it with her daughter. With the fourth prince coming, this matter would most likely not be settled today. This would give her quite a bit of time. Thus she did not wait for Feng Yu Heng to reply, as she took the initiative to say: "Quickly invite His Highness the fourth prince in. His Highness is an important guest. How can he be left outside?"
But this was the imperial daughter's manor. As long as Feng Yu Heng was present, the servants would not listen to anyone else's orders. Although An Shi had spoken, the servants still looked at Feng Yu Heng, waiting for the true master to give orders.
An Shi was a little embarrassed and knew that she had said too much. Lowering her head, she did not say another word. Feng Yu Heng, however, gently sighed and said: "Madam An is right. His Highness is an important guest. How can he be left outside? Quickly invite His Highness the fourth prince in. "
The servants went to invite the "important guest"; however, they did not think that the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi, would not be the only one to enter the manor. There was also a large group of servants following behind him. The servants were also carrying a large pile of things. Upon entering the main hall, they saw Xuan Tian Yi lift the corner of his robe and kneel in front of Consort Yun, loudly saying: "Son has finally waited for someone who can make a decision! Imperial Concubine Mother Yun, please accept son's bow! "
