With one sentence, everyone in the room became confused.
Chun Palace? Wasn't that the Seventh Prince's palace?
The Seventh Prince sent a set of clothes to Feng manor, and it was for Xiangrong?
Xiangrong opened her mouth in shock and could not speak, and the Matriarch almost thought that Feng Yu Heng's soul had possessed Xiangrong.
To say that Xuan Tianhua treated Feng Yu Heng well, that was something people were already used to, after all, there was the relationship with the Ninth Prince. But now, he actually sent a set of clothes to Xiangrong, what direction should people think of this?
The Matriarch was stunned for a while, then remembered to ask the servant: "Where is the person who sent the clothes?"
The servant said: "He left after sending it to the manor, housekeeper He said it was a young eunuch."
The Matriarch thought that was right, other than the palace, only the Prince's palace used eunuchs. She could not help but look at Xiangrong, asking her in confusion: "You are very familiar with His Highness the Seventh Prince?"
Xiangrong shook her head, speaking honestly: "I can't say that I am familiar, but when I was with Second Sister, I met him a few times. But His Highness the Seventh Prince always talks to Second Sister, Xiangrong does not know why His Highness sent me clothes. "
When the little servant said this, her face was red. No matter what, being able to receive clothes from the Seventh Prince still filled her heart with excitement.
What kind of person was the Seventh Prince! He was publicly acknowledged as the best looking person in the world, like a deity, every word, every action, even every gaze, could be remembered by people for a lifetime. She originally thought that being able to talk to the Seventh Prince a few times thanks to Second Sister was already a blessing in life, but she did not think that she would receive a set of clothes personally sent by him today.
The Matriarch laid on the bed for a long time without speaking, she felt a little confused, her mind was not working well. Until Xiangrong asked softly: "Grandmother, can I take the clothes back?" Only then did she regain her senses, saying in a daze: "Go, go, but be careful, the clothes bestowed by His Highness the Seventh Prince will definitely not be bad."
Xiang Rong naturally understood this reasoning. Receiving the tray from the servant's hands, she did not even dare give it to her own personal servant, as she personally carried it back to the courtyard.
It wasn't until she saw An shi that she let out a long sigh and said with some excitement, "Concubine mother, guess what happened in Shu Ya courtyard just now?"
An shi naturally could not guess. Xiang Rong's servant quickly recounted what had happened, including the argument between Chen Yu and Fen Dai. She vividly recounted it all.
An shi did not have much interest in the matter between Chen Yu and Fen Dai, only saying: "Seeing Fen Dai's appearance when she returned this morning, I knew that she did not want to live peacefully after returning to the manor." Following this, her gaze continued to stare at the clothes that Xiang Rong had brought back. "Open the paper bag quickly," she urged.
Xiang Rong nodded. Only then did she carefully place the tray on the table. She then carefully opened the paper that was wrapped around the tray. Following this, a set of light blue clothes appeared before her eyes.
Both of their eyes lit up. The girl simply let out a "wow" and exclaimed, "What kind of material is this? Why does it look like the water of a lake? "
The girl's description was very accurate. This material looked like the clear water of a lake, and the bottom could be seen at a glance.
Xiang Rong did not know what material it was, as she stared at the clothes in a daze. Her mind was filled with Xuan Tianhua's otherworldly smile.
An shi looked for a while then sighed, saying: "Although it is not one of the five treasures, it is not much worse than one of the five treasures. If I have not guessed incorrectly, this material should be the refined lake core that the Empress of the Northern Qian Zhou likes the most. "
Xiang Rong's face blossomed, as she subconsciously said: "Concubine mother, what do you think His Highness the Seventh Prince is sending me this sort of clothes?"
An shi saw a look of expectation on Xiang Rong's face, and her heart was shocked. She quickly spoke up to interrupt Xiang Rong's beautiful dream: "Don't think too much! Before you, there is the lesson of your eldest sister and fourth sister. Xiang Rong, I do not wish for you to have any thoughts of climbing up the social ladder. Not everyone can marry a prince, and not everyone who marries can live well. Moreover, that His Highness the Seventh Prince is otherworldly like a deity. He looks kind and kind, but when have people he dislikes received any benefits from him? He is actually the same type of person as the Ninth Prince. You must not covet him. "
Xiang Rong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "How can that be, concubine mother, I do not have such extravagant hopes. His Highness the Seventh Prince sending these clothes, I am afraid it is because of Second Sister's care for me in the past! To be able to receive a gift from His Highness the Seventh Prince in my lifetime is already rare, Xiang Rong does not have any other hopes. "
Only then did An shi relax, patting Xiang Rong's shoulder: "Don't blame my concubine mother, this is all for your own good. Although the fate of a concubine's daughter is either to be a concubine for the son of the first wife or to be the first wife for the son of a concubine, it is still better than marrying a prince and becoming his concubine. Right now, it looks glorious, but in the future, when the princes fight for the throne, who knows who will live and who will die. "
In the end, Xiang Rong was still young and did not understand too much, but she knew that An shi was truly doing this for her own good. Thus, she nodded gratefully and reached out to feel the refined lake core. She sighed to herself then put on a smile: "Xiang Rong is only ten years old. After five years, who knows what kind of situation it will be. There is no rush."
An shi also knew that there was no rush, but the clothes sent by Prince Chun still caused her to be a little worried. Whether this banquet would be a blessing or a curse, everything was unknown.
Early the next morning, the Feng family was already preparing for the three young misses to enter the palace.
Xiang Rong receiving the clothes sent by Prince Chun was something that had been spread throughout the manor since the previous night. Chen Yu allowed Yi Lin to apply the black blush bestowed by the Empress while fiercely glaring at the bronze mirror. The handkerchief in her hand was tightly twisted, nearly being torn apart by her.
Yi Lin carefully spoke to her: "Eldest young miss should be happy."
"What is there to be happy about?" Chen Yu fiercely glared at Yi Lin, "When others enter the palace, they are given clothes by a prince; however, I have to blacken my face. How can I be happy about this? It's fine if I don't go to this stupid banquet! "
As she said this, she moved to remove the decorations on her head, which scared Yi Yue into quickly stopping her. She had spent a full two hours combing her hair. If she messed it up, she would have wasted her efforts.
"Eldest young miss, think about it. At that time, her Highness the Empress said that you would not be allowed to enter the palace. This time, didn't she change her mind and say that all of the young misses in the manor will be allowed to go. As this servant sees it, this black blush is most likely because the Empress was angry at the time. After this banquet, perhaps this punishment will be removed. "
These words struck a chord with Chen Yu's heart. Being able to enter the palace this time was indeed a little outside of her expectations, but whether or not she would be exempt from this black blush was still unknown.
"Servant, you sure know how to speak better than the previous Yi Yue."
"It was young miss who taught me well. This servant has followed young miss for three more years than Yi Yue. These three years were not for nothing. "
Feng Chen Yu nodded, "Un, it's good that you're sensible. Alright, alright, it's black enough. Don't add any more. " Chen Yu slapped Yi Lin's hand away then glanced at the bronze mirror. Angrily, she slammed the mirror down on the table, "So annoying."
"Young miss, please get changed." Yi Lin picked up a light yellow Winter dress and placed it in front of Chen Yu, "This time, don't wear red to avoid angering his Majesty." She reminded Chen Yu of her previous lesson. Chen Yu did not say anything, but she looked at the Winter dress in her hand and frowned, "This seems to be something that mother bought for me in the past?"
"That's right." Yi Lin helped her change while saying, "The ready-made clothes that were brought back from elder madam's did not fit very well. There's no rush to change them now. Moreover, the ready-made clothes bought outside are not as good as the ones made at home. Young miss should wear this one."
Chen Yu nodded, "How could a ready-made shop be willing to use good material. If I have not remembered incorrectly, these clothes were given to me by third uncle last year."
"But of course, third master dotes on young miss the most." Yi Lin subconsciously added but immediately realized that she had said something wrong. She could not help but tremble and fall silent.
Chen Yu did not blame her, only sighing and saying: "Thinking of the past, it really does seem like a lifetime ago!"
Finally, the three young misses arrived at the manor's entrance after putting on their clothes. Feng Jin Yuan was already waiting there.
Seeing that each of his three daughters was more beautiful than the last, he could not help but sigh a little. He then looked at the refined lake core clothes that Xiang Rong was wearing, and he began to ponder even more.
Prince Chun had always maintained a neutral position. The otherworldly Prince Chun actually took the initiative to give his daughter of a concubine a set of clothes, and they were made of such expensive material. What exactly did this mean?
He definitely did not believe that Prince Chun had taken an interest in Xiang Rong. Not to mention the fact that the two did not meet often, but Xiang Rong existed as Feng Yu Heng's accessory. Based on Prince Chun's personality, how could he possibly take an interest in a girl that was only ten years old. When the officials gathered in private, the majority of them shook their heads when Prince Chun was mentioned. They all felt that even if he never married in this lifetime, it would be normal.
But if it was not because he had taken an interest, then what was the reason?
Feng Jin Yuan frowned and looked at Xiang Rong. When she approached, he changed his expression to a smile, "Xiang Rong looks very good wearing these clothes." He could not give Xiang Rong an attitude. After all, Prince Chun had been courteous before. If he did not even smile, he feared that it would cause trouble.
Xiang Rong bowed to Feng Jin Yuan and said: "Many thanks, father." She was neither close nor distant. She was extremely respectful.
Fen Dai and Chen Yu both glanced at Xiang Rong, the flames of jealousy burning in their eyes.
Especially Fen Dai. She was wearing the clothes that she had chosen from the matriarch's room. She even believed that she had chosen the most beautiful one; however, she did not think that the elder sister and younger sister would simply not wear those ready-made clothes. Comparing them like this, she was the one that was the least presentable. This was far from what she had originally hoped to be able to step on the two.
Xiang Rong felt the two gazes from her side, but she did not know what she should do. She could only lower her head and not say a single word.
Everyone in the manor came out to send the three young misses into the palace. Even Yao shi came.
But for Chen Yu and Fen Dai, there was neither the matriarch nor the head wife behind them. Their statuses were the most important, so they naturally would not turn around to look at the concubines.
Only Xiang Rong turned around before leaving the manor and bowed to Yao shi, An shi, Han shi and Jin Zhen. Only then did she get into the carriage with everyone.
An shi looked at Fen Dai's appearance after being dressed up by Han shi and shook her head. She quietly said to Yao shi: "No matter how I look at it, there is a hint of Feng Chen. To be treated like this by Han shi at such a young age, what will happen when she grows up."
Yao shi also helplessly said: "The children of the Feng family are always arrogant; however, they do not know that climbing to a high position does not have many benefits. Of course, my Yao family was glorious, but how is it now? Younger sister, you must properly teach Xiang Rong. You must not allow that child to become like the people of the Feng family. "
An shi nodded, "That is natural. Elder sister, do not worry. Xiang Rong learned from the second young miss. She will not be lacking."
With the mention of Feng Yu Heng, Yao shi let out another sigh. In her heart, however, she began to look forward to it even more.
She knew that some things would definitely happen at this banquet, and these things definitely would not cause her Heng Heng to suffer a loss.
