This shout gave everyone a fright. In the blink of an eye, Huang Quan jumped in front of Feng Yu Heng to protect her. He then saw Qing Le, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly jump out. Her right hand quickly pulled out a hairpin from Feng Yu Heng's hair and stabbed it towards Feng Yu Heng.
Feng Yu Heng did not even dodge. She just looked at the crazy Qing Le and Huang Quan, who had already begun to move. With a slight smile, Qing Le had already been kicked far away by Huang Quan.
This was the first time Feng Chen Yu had seen her personal servant take action. Previously, she only knew that the two servants sent by the Imperial Palace Yu knew martial arts; however, she did not think that they would be so fierce.
She stared blankly at Feng Yu Heng. Seeing the coldness and courage in her younger sister's eyes, she suddenly felt as though she did not recognize this person. No matter if it was the former daughter to the first wife Feng Yu Heng or the current daughter of a concubine, Feng Yu Heng, it seemed that neither of them should be like this.
She could not say what was wrong with Feng Yu Heng, but a feeling of despair gradually began to rise from the bottom of her heart.
This younger sister, she seemed … to be unable to win.
Qing Le had been kneeling for an entire night, and now she had been kicked by Huang Quan. She had already fainted while flying. When she landed, there was only a thump. There was not even a single person that came forward to help her.
The granny did not mind at all that Huang Quan had kicked someone at the entrance of the palace. She was an elder in the palace, and she had seen Huang Quan and Wang Chuan before. Consort Yun had used a maidservant before. Who dared to offend her?
She looked at Feng Yu Heng with a smile and did not pay any attention to the unconscious Qing Le. She only respectfully said: "Princess, are you going out of the palace? Do you want this old servant to arrange a carriage to send you? "As she spoke, she looked towards the Feng family's carriage.
Feng Yu Heng smiled. The mamas in the palace were indeed experts in this field. She was not polite: "Then, I will have to trouble mamas."
"Princess, what are you saying?" The mama hurriedly curtsied and turned to order people to prepare.
When Feng Yu Heng returned home in a carriage from the palace, it was already seven in the morning. After Feng Jin Yuan brought Xiang Rong back to the manor, he had already told everyone about what had happened at the banquet. Currently, Chen Yu was still kneeling outside the palace's gates. Originally, the matriarch wanted Feng Jin Yuan to go over and take a look, but Feng Jin Yuan felt that if he went, it would cause the Empress to become even angrier, thus he could only send a carriage to pick her up. He himself remained in the manor and quietly waited.
Unfortunately, the daughter that returned early in the morning was not Chen Yu, who he cared about the most. Instead, it was Feng Yu Heng.
"Did you see your eldest sister?" When Feng Yu Heng entered the manor, Feng Jin Yuan directly went over to greet her and asked this question.
She was slightly startled. She had not slept for an entire night, so she was a little tired. Feng Jin Yuan's question directly ignited the anger in her heart "Daughter stayed in the palace for an entire night, yet father did not say a word of concern?"
Feng Jin Yuan furrowed his brow and impolitely said: "Haven't you returned safely! Your eldest sister was punished to kneel outside the palace's gates. How could it compare to you being treated by the Emperor. "
She furrowed her brow and looked at Feng Jin Yuan. In her mind, three words roared like ten thousand galloping horses, shameless!
"I didn't see her!" She could not be bothered to waste any more words. Bringing along Huang Quan, she turned and walked in the direction of Tong Sheng pavilion.
Feng Jin Yuan had also not slept for an entire night, so his temper was a little irritable. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng actually dared to speak to him like this, he angrily shouted: "Stop right there!"
How could Feng Yu Heng be willing to pay attention to him. She pretended not to hear him and continued walking. But before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by a servant trotting over "Second young miss, the matriarch has invited you to Shu Ya courtyard!" Her words were polite and happy. Her attitude was completely different from Feng Jin Yuan's.
Feng Yu Heng nodded. Bringing along Huang Quan, she followed the servant towards Shu Ya courtyard. Right before leaving, she said to Feng Jin Yuan: "If father still has questions, how about going with Heng Heng to pay respects to grandmother. Eldest sister is the Feng family's daughter to the first wife, yet she lowered herself to be Qing Le's maidservant. I really do not know what sort of position our family has in the capital."
Feng Jin Yuan's face turned red and white from the choking. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng had already followed the maidservant towards Shu Ya courtyard, he helplessly stomped his foot and followed.
Unlike Feng Jin Yuan, who was completely focused on Chen Yu, the matriarch's entire Shu Ya courtyard was filled with smiles because of Feng Yu Heng's return to the manor. Granny Zhao was the first to come over. She did not even have time to speak with Feng Jin Yuan, as she saluted Feng Yu Heng first: "This old servant pays respects to second young miss! Second young miss has been busy in the palace for an entire night and must be exhausted. The matriarch had someone prepare some pigeon soup before the sun had even risen to help second young miss recover. "
Feng Yu Heng also had a bright smile on her face, as she said to granny Zhao: "I truly have troubled grandmother with the concern. In this manor, only grandmother dotes on me the most!"
Granny Zhao quickly led her into the hall. At the same time, she said: "The matriarch dotes on second young miss very much. Not only did she prepare pigeon soup, she also ordered the best tailor in the capital. She is waiting for second young miss to return to the manor to prepare new clothes for you."
"Oh?" Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, "Why are they in such a rush to have new clothes made?"
As they spoke, the two had already entered the main hall. The matriarch was sitting in the main seat. Her kind face was filled with smiles as she looked at Feng Yu Heng. The matriarch took the initiative to answer her question: "Our Heng Heng won the phoenix hairpin. Naturally, the hairpin must be matched with the most beautiful clothes."
So that was what she was worried about.
Feng Yu Heng raised the corners of her lips without leaving a trace, as she bowed to the matriarch: "Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother. Troubled grandmother with the concern, it was granddaughter's fault."
The matriarch quickly gave granny Zhao a look, and granny Zhao went forward to help Feng Yu Heng up. She then heard the matriarch say: "Where is Heng Heng Heng not good. Being able to receive the Emperor and Empress' recognition is your good fortune. It is also our Feng manor's good fortune. For you to be able to give the Feng family so much face, your father and I are both grateful. "
"Is that so?" Feng Yu Heng slightly turned around and looked at Feng Jin Yuan, who had already entered the hall: "I fear that father does not feel that this is face."
"Hmph!" Feng Jin Yuan forcefully flicked his sleeve and did not have time to pay respects to the matriarch, as he directly sat in a chair to the side. Glaring at Feng Yu Heng, he angrily said: "You only know how to be in the limelight, yet you completely disregard your eldest sister. My Feng family does not have a child like you!"
"Jin Yuan!" The matriarch feared that Feng Yu Heng's attitude would cause Feng Yu Heng to become angry, so she quickly stopped him: "Heng Heng is Heng Heng. Winning face is winning face. What are you bringing Chen Yu into this for?" Seeing that Feng Jin Yuan still had an angry expression, she continued: "What is the phoenix hairpin? Now that his Majesty has bestowed it to our Heng Heng, if this is not a great fortune for the Feng manor, what is it? As a father, it's fine if you don't praise her, but why must you scold her? "
Hearing the matriarch mention the phoenix hairpin, Feng Jin Yuan's anger finally subsided a little. Speaking truthfully, when Feng Yu Heng received the phoenix hairpin, he was also shocked. Especially when Feng Yu Heng shot those three arrows. Not only did they completely extinguish Bu Ni Shang's spirit, they also caused everyone present to gasp in shock.
He could not forget the expressions that the officials had when they looked at him. Although it was complicated, he knew that everyone was envious of him for having such a daughter. As for himself, aside from being shocked, he was even more puzzled.
No matter what, he could not understand. Feng Yu Heng had lived in the mountains for three years, so how could she have changed so much? If it was a change in personality, it could be excused, but where did that martial arts come from?
Reining in her emotions, she once again turned her gaze towards Feng Yu Heng, slightly calming down. "A-Heng winning the phoenix hairpin is naturally the Feng family's glory, but …" When he thought of Chen Yu's matter, he felt uncomfortable: "Your eldest sister is still kneeling in front of the palace's gates. You received such a great honor at the banquet, so why do you not plead for leniency for your eldest sister?"
Feng Yu Heng took a deep breath. She very rarely got angry, but faced with the body's original owner's shameless father, she really wanted to rush forward and fiercely slap him a few times.
"Father, as a person, you must understand what it means to be content. Although I have received the Emperor and Empress' appreciation, if I do not know what is good for me, then the Feng family will not be able to protect anything. " Her gaze gradually became sharp, "I won the phoenix hairpin, and the Emperor personally bestowed it. The Empress personally placed it in for me, and the Emperor allowed me to call him father Emperor. With such glory, the Feng family actually did not even allow me to sit in a carriage. I fear that this matter has already reached the palace. "
The matriarch was stunned, "What carriage?"
Feng Jin Yuan was a little embarrassed, but he also felt that he did not do anything wrong, thus he said: "Son sent a carriage to pick up Chen Yu at the palace gates."
"Then how did Heng Heng come back?" The matriarch seemed to have thought of something: "You only sent a carriage to pick up Chen Yu, who was punished to kneel, but you did not send another carriage to pick up Heng Zheng?"
Feng Jin Yuan lowered his head and did not speak.
Feng Yu Heng said: "Replying to grandmother, the granny at the palace gates saw that granddaughter was truly pitiful, so she prepared an imperial carriage to send granddaughter back to the manor. Otherwise … I fear that granddaughter would have to walk back. "
"Fool!" The matriarch angrily slammed her cane on the ground: "Chen Yu was personally punished by the Emperor, and Heng Heng was personally praised by the Emperor. How can you not understand who is more important?"
Feng Jin Yuan was a little irritated by the matriarch's scolding and could not help but retort: "How can I not understand? But no matter how much praise is given, she is still just a concubine's daughter! With the phoenix hairpin in hand, the Ninth Prince is also a cripple without any hope for the throne! Mother should not have forgotten who the daughter that my Feng family wants to protect is, right? "
With him reminding her like this, the matriarch, who had always been an opportunist, began to feel more at ease. That's right, she was only happy that Feng Yu Heng had received the phoenix hairpin; however, she had forgotten that the Ninth Prince had no hope for the throne!
For a while, the atmosphere in the main hall became even more oppressive. The matriarch and Feng Jin Yuan's minds spun quickly, especially the matriarch. Her eyes spun wildly, and her thoughts were complicated.
Last night, when she heard Feng Jin Yuan speak of what happened at the banquet, her entire heart was attracted to the phoenix hairpin. She knew that obtaining the phoenix hairpin was equivalent to obtaining half the world. The Emperor had yet to appoint a successor, but he had bestowed the phoenix hairpin at this year's banquet. Was this not a disguised attempt to determine the future heir?
For her, regardless of whether it was Feng Chen Yu or Feng Yu Heng, or even Xiang Rong or Fen Dai, as long as they were children of the Feng family, regardless of whether they were of the first wife or of a concubine, obtaining the phoenix hairpin would be the glory of the Feng family.
That was why she did not care about Chen Yu, who was still kneeling at the entrance of the palace. She wholeheartedly curried favor with Feng Yu Heng, but now that her son had reminded her, the matriarch felt that obtaining the hairpin was not as wonderful as she had imagined.
She subconsciously turned her gaze towards Feng Yu Heng. She wanted to ask if the Emperor had said anything about her not returning for the night.
However, she saw that Feng Yu Heng's face was currently dark, and her gaze was as sharp as a knife. She stood up from her seat and walked towards Feng Jin Yuan step by step.
Feng Jin Yuan only felt an unprecedented sense of oppression follow Feng Yu Heng's footsteps. It was just like the three arrows that had been shot at the banquet, and he had become the center of the target. As Feng Yu Heng came closer and closer, his breathing stopped.
"Father" Finally, she arrived in front of Feng Jin Yuan. Leaning forward, she leaned her small face forward "Just now, who did you call a cripple?"
