When she returned to the banquet hall with Xuan Feiyu, she immediately saw that there was an additional young girl sitting at the prince's table. That young girl sat next to the fifth prince, Xuan Tian Yan, and was currently drinking happily. Her wide sleeves were pulled back to her elbows, revealing a fair wrist. But that wrist could not attract Xuan Tian Yan's gaze. Instead, it was the white crystal earring in her ear that caused him to be unable to look away.
If that was not Feng Fen Dai, who else could it be?
"Wasn't she drinking happily with his Highness the fifth prince? Why do you say that something happened to her?" Feng Yu Heng pinched Xuan Feiyu's small cheeks, but her eyes were fixed on Feng Chen Yu, revealing a cold gaze.
Xuan Feiyu replied very seriously: "Because I once heard father Prince say that fifth uncle's family has a large number of beautiful concubines. Any girl from a good family would avoid him like the plague, not daring to get involved with him. Just now, it was fifth uncle who took the initiative to invite the Feng family's young miss over to drink. Seeing this, I quickly ran out to call you. Who knew … "Xuan Feiyu looked towards the fifth prince's side for a while and said in confusion:" Your younger sister seems to be quite happy. "
Feng Yu Heng snorted coldly and pulled Xuan Feiyu back to their seats, "Since she is happy, elder sister will not be the bad person."
Xuan Feiyu nodded, "That's right, I see that your younger sister does not seem to be easy to worry about. Deity elder sister should not worry about her."
The child pestered Feng Yu Heng and played for a while before running off. Xiang Rong quickly leaned over and whispered to Feng Yu Heng: "Nothing will happen to fourth sister, right? I saw that she drank quite a few cups of wine. "
"What could possibly happen?" She looked at Fen Dai and saw that girl tilt her head back and gulp down a cup of wine. Without needing any advice from the fifth prince, she continued to drink on her own. "Xiang Rong, remember this. The more you want to become a phoenix, the more miserable your fall will be."
When she said this, her voice was slightly raised. The people sitting far away could not hear it, but Chen Yu, who was seated next to Xiang Rong, heard it clearly.
She felt that Feng Yu Heng's words seemed to be directed at her, but she did not mind. Just because Fen Dai fell so miserably did not mean that she would also fall. Based on the fact that the third prince had just sent her a message, telling her to give the crystal earrings to Fen Dai, she was able to determine that the third prince had feelings for her. She was originally reluctant to part with the earrings, but she did not expect that such a small pair of earrings would be valued so highly by the Fifth Prince. She could not help but be shocked.
If he did not give it to Fendai and she wore this set of white crystals, it would be a waste. Wouldn't the lascivious Fifth Prince pounce on her?
She couldn't understand why the First Prince would be so attentive to her for no reason, but from the looks of it now, it wasn't her beauty that moved the other party. On the contrary, it was a trap.
Upon thinking of this, Chen Yu immediately picked up her cup of tea and stood up. Leisurely walking over to the prince's table, she only stopped when she arrived in front of Xuan Tian Ye.
Feng Yu Heng saw that Chen Yu seemed to be toasting with Xuan Tian Ye. Huang Quan leaned over and whispered into her ear: "Could it be that his Highness the eldest prince's trick of gifting the crystals was seen through by his Highness the Third Prince?"
She smiled but said: "Even if he saw through it, what of it? Qing Shuang's matter was something that I created from nothing, but do you think that his Highness the Third Prince, who has always been the most suspicious, would not take it to heart? "
Huang Quan's expression changed, as he rejoiced, "Young miss means to say that as long as his Highness the Third Prince's heart is affected, there will be no need to worry about him not seeking revenge?"
"That's right."
Feng Yu Heng curled up the corners of her lips and looked at Xuan Tian Ye. So what if he saw through the crystal? So what if he did not cause Chen Yu to become entangled with the Fifth Prince? Xuan Tian Ye, you thought that you and I had fought to a draw; however, you did not know that even if I lost, I would leave behind a shadow in your heart. You, in the end, were just one move behind.
When the birthday banquet came to an end, the snow outside had become a little heavy. The carriages of each family were waiting at the entrance. When the madams and young misses left, a few would leave. The carriages behind would then move a few steps forward. Feng Yu Heng watched and felt that it was a little like waiting for a bus in the 21st century.
She stood in the snow, and her expression was a little dazed. There was an instant where her mind began to wander, and she was practically unable to tell what sort of time and space she was in. Was she in Dashun or was she in front of the army's dormitory?
"Second sister." Xiang Rong's voice forcefully pulled Feng Yu Heng back from her thoughts, "Fourth sister drank a little too much. I will go sit in the same carriage as her. That way, nothing will happen."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Alright." She then said to Huang Quan: "You should also go with the Third Young Miss. Otherwise, if Feng Fen Dai causes a ruckus, those servants will not be able to suppress it."
Huang Quan was a little worried about her, "Then what about Young Miss?"
"Don't worry. I have Ban Zou." After she finished speaking, she walked towards her own carriage.
She then heard a young miss at the entrance say: "She lost such a valuable phoenix hairpin and still has the nerve to come out and show off. She really is too thick-skinned."
"Look, she's just sitting in a normal carriage. Why isn't she sitting in the imperial carriage bestowed by the Emperor?"
"It's most likely that it was taken back by the Emperor, right?"
"That's right! If she can't treat His Ninth Highness' legs, thinking about it, her title as the future Royal Consort Yu will soon be taken away. "
Feng Yu Heng suddenly stopped and turned around. She looked at the gossiping servants with an amused expression, "For you to complain about this injustice for Prince Yu, you must have deep feelings for His Highness Prince Yu. How about I go and report this to Father Emperor and have Father Emperor issue an edict to cancel the engagement between His Highness Prince Yu and me. He will then grant marriages to the young misses. How about that? Oh, that's right. His Highness can only have one official princess. You still need to consider who will be the official princess, who will be the secondary princess, and the rest can only be concubines. "
Her words caused the faces of the young misses to turn red. They had already been warned by Prince Yuan in the banquet hall and were already a little afraid, but they could not control their mouths and hearts. Just now, they clearly saw that Feng Yu Heng had already walked far away. She should not have heard them whispering like that. However, they did not think that the Feng family's second young miss' ears would be like this.
They were rendered speechless. Feng Yu Heng, however, became spirited. She simply walked back a few steps and said: "Or in the future, when I enter the palace, if you all still do not have a suitable family to propose marriage, I can also ask His Highness to accept you all into the palace, but you can only be concubines. However … … "She rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled charmingly," However, His Highness has already said that he only wants to marry Heng Zheng alone. As for the rest, he would not even want a servant girl to sleep with. "
Her words completely angered one of the young misses, and she could not help but raise her voice and shout: "His Highness Prince Yu's legs can't be healed. Even if he wants a servant girl, he can't. What are you so proud of? After a few years, when you don't even have a child, don't come crying to us! "
"Don't worry." Feng Yu Heng's eyes were cold, "You won't be able to wait until I cry because I have never seen a person who insulted a prince in public continue to live. This young miss, you should pray for yourself. "After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
It was unknown which family's young miss it was, but after hearing Feng Yu Heng's words, her face immediately turned pale. Looking at the other young misses that had been standing with her, they immediately scattered. It was as if she was a ferocious beast, fearing that they would not be able to avoid her.
Feng Yu Heng got into the carriage alone. The driver immediately whipped the horses, and the carriage began to move quickly through the snow.
Following her departure, the Feng family's other three carriages also began to move. Those young misses did not dare say anything else. They were all wondering what sort of fate would befall that young miss who did not keep her mouth shut.
Huang Quan and Xiang Rong got into Fen Dai's carriage together. Feng Yu Heng could still hear Fen Dai's non-stop shouting from far away. At one moment, she was shouting for his Highness the fifth prince. At another moment, she was shouting for His Ninth Highness. At another moment, she was singing.
She never had a good impression of drunken people, and there was no one at her side to chat with. Bored, she simply closed her eyes and rested.
The roads were difficult to travel on a snowy day. Even if the carriage sped along, it was not as fast as usual. Feng Yu Heng felt that the journey back was too long. She was on the verge of falling asleep, and she could not help but ask the driver: "Why have we still not arrived?"
The driver helplessly replied: "Replying to second young miss, the snow is truly too heavy. There is a small road that cannot be traveled on, so we have taken a long detour."
She did not ask any further. After all, Ban Zou was secretly following them, and the driver was someone from the county princess' manor. Nothing would happen here.
But …
She straightened her back and sat up a little straighter. Her right eyelid continued to twitch. As the old saying goes, the twitching of the left eyelid is a sign of wealth, the twitching of the right eyelid is a sign of disaster. Although she did not really believe those words, the bad premonition in her heart forced her to be cautious.
Feng Yu Heng's intuition had always been very accurate. Just as she thought of this, she heard Ban Zou's voice come from outside, saying: "Master, be careful!"
She subconsciously leaned to the side. With a peng, a sharp arrow brushed past her right ear from the back of the carriage. It passed through the curtain of the carriage and entered flesh with a "pu" sound. The driver driving the carriage did not even have time to cry out before he fell to the ground.
With the death of the driver, the horses immediately lost their sense of direction. After a whinny, they began to run wildly.
Feng Yu Heng lay in the carriage. Her ears were practically perked up as she listened to the movements outside.
She could only hear the sounds of Ban Zou fighting with someone. Very quickly, there was no sound. Soon after, a gust of wind blew over, and he sat in front of the carriage.
She did not hide. Long term contact allowed her to distinguish Ban Zou's figure and the sounds of his movements. Sure enough, the horses that had lost their sense of direction immediately calmed down when the new driver returned to his position.
"Master, are you alright?" Ban Zou asked her while driving the carriage. His voice was a bit out of breath. It was clear that the people outside were not easy to deal with.
"I'm fine." She straightened her body and lifted the curtain of the carriage. Seeing that Ban Zou did not seem to be injured, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Here." Ban Zou turned his head and handed an arrow to her, "I pulled it out from that driver's body. It doesn't look like Dashun's item to me."
Feng Yu Heng accepted the arrow and lowered the curtain of the carriage. She held it in her hand and looked at it for a while, but she could not come to any conclusion. She could not even tell if it was Dashun's item.
Just as she was about to ask Ban Zou a few more questions, her mind suddenly moved. Almost without thinking, she placed her right hand on her left wrist and instantly entered her space.
The instant she entered her space, a cry of alarm rang out — — "Ban Zou! Get down! "
Ban Zou reflexively bent down. At the same time, another arrow brushed past his scalp.
The two arrows had both passed through the back of the carriage. The strength of the arrows was so great that the solid wood of the carriage was like a piece of paper, completely unable to impede the speed of the arrows.
Ban Zou was anxious. He wanted to go and fight with his life, but he was also worried about Feng Yu Heng. For a moment, he was in a difficult position.
As for the person who had entered her space, she reappeared. When she appeared, the first thing she asked was: "Are you injured?"
Ban Zou immediately replied: "I'm fine. What about you?"
"I'm also fine." Feng Yu Heng's mind was filled with shock. Her right hand had been placed on her left wrist the entire time, not daring to move. She feared that she would not be able to dodge in time the next crisis.
"Such sharp archery." Although she was nervous, she could not help but sigh, "This kind of arrow … …" Her mind suddenly moved. She recalled the divine archery of Qian Zhou Country that Xuan Tianming had told her about before. "Ban Zou!" She lifted the curtain and quickly ordered: "Don't return to Tong Sheng pavilion! We're going to Imperial Palace Yu! "
