"Quickly! Follow your young miss! " Han shi saw Fen Dai get out of the carriage and quickly urged Pei 'er to follow. She also got out of the carriage with A Ju supporting her.
She did not have time to worry about the citizens pointing and discussing. Seeing Fen Dai enter the shop, Han shi became anxious and thought to herself that this was not good. Based on Fen Dai's personality, it was possible that she would end up getting into a fight with someone.
As she expected, she saw Feng Fen Dai rush into the shop. Upon seeing the concubine, she did not say a single word and raised her hand to slap her.
But this hand did not manage to land. The concubine's maidservant was the first to be hit. She was the first to stand in front of her. The granny then reached out and firmly grabbed Fen Dai's wrist.
The concubine glared at Fen Dai and curled her lips into a wicked smile, "Let her hit me. Ever since I entered the palace, I have been doted on by his Highness every night. It's possible that I might be pregnant with a child. If she dares hit me, I will immediately kneel at the entrance of the palace and report to the Emperor. I will say that the Feng family's young miss of a concubine beat up the imperial grandson. I will see how his Majesty deals with this case! "
Han shi was given a fright and quickly went forward to pull Fen Dai back, quietly saying: "You must not. If you hit her in private, that's fine, but if you hurt her in public, you absolutely must not. "
"What's wrong with that?" Fen Dai was furious, "She's just a concubine. Even if she gives birth to a child, that child will not be presentable."
The concubine did not show any weakness, as she said to Fen Dai: "Whether or not she is presentable, his Highness will have the final say. His Majesty will have the final say. I have lived for 17 years, and this is the first time that I have heard that the daughter of an official's family has the authority to manage the matters of a prince's family. Young miss of a concubine, aren't you managing too much? "
Fen Dai gritted her teeth and glared at her, "I am managing you as Prince Li's secondary princess!"
"Oh!" The concubine let out a delicate laugh, "Not to mention how much weight the words of the secondary princess in our palace have, but even if they do have a lot of weight, how is that related to you? Haven't you not married into our family yet? Don't think that you're something amazing just because you exchanged an engagement note. Did you not ask around just how many engagement notes does his Highness give out throughout the year? I thought it was a treasure! "
The woman rolled her eyes, and Fen Dai felt all of the blood in her body rush to her head. She was on the verge of exploding from anger, as she struggled to break free from Han shi. Waving her hand, she slapped the concubine's face.
This time, the opposition was unable to dodge. When Fen Dai went crazy, her strength was not small. In addition to this, the maidservant and granny were still a little apprehensive. In any case, she was the young miss of the prime minister's manor. Even if his Highness Prince Li could bear to offend his beloved concubine, these servants did not have any guarantee of their lives. Thus she just went through the motions of blocking it. In the end, Fen Dai succeeded and slapped the concubine's face.
The concubine didn't expect that she would really be hit. Her phoenix eyes glared, and she raised her hand to hit back. But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, saying, "Which family's concubine is so daring to beat up the Prime Minister's young miss on the streets?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a girl wearing a light purple Winter robe walk in with a maidservant. She looked to be in her early teens, but she had a pair of bright eyes.
Feng Fen Dai did not even need to turn around to recognize this voice. If it was not her second sister, Feng Yu Heng, who else could it be. But what Feng Yu Heng had just said was very much in line with what she wanted. That's right, a concubine, what right did she have to hit her?
"Did you hear that? What sort of thing is a concubine? You really do think of yourself as something! " With Feng Yu Heng supporting her, Fen Dai's confidence also rose, "Do you dare to hit me?"
The woman was smart and did not argue with Fen Dai. Instead, she put down her hand and stared at Feng Yu Heng, asking: "Who are you?"
She did not recognize Feng Yu Heng, but that did not mean that the citizens on the street did not recognize her. During the snowstorm, Feng Yu Heng had spent a few days in front of Hundred Herb Hall handing out warm tea. The majority of the people in the capital had received her grace. Now that they saw Feng Yu Heng arrive, they all kneeled on the ground and shouted: "Greetings county princess!"
With this kneeling, even the Li Palace's granny and maidservant also kneeled. The maidservant tugged at the concubine's dress and quietly said: "This is county princess Ji 'an, who was personally conferred the title by his Majesty. She is the daughter of the first wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo and the future official Princess Yu."
The three titles were tossed out, and each one was powerful and resonant.
Only then did the concubine become dazed. The first two titles did not cause her to feel too much shock, but the middle one, "daughter of the first wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo," struck her heart.
The daughter of the first wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo, was that not the elder sister of the young girl in front of her. This was great. She had fought with her younger sister and gained the upper hand with great difficulty, but her elder sister had come.
The concubine was smart, as she also kneeled on the ground and said: "This concubine pays respects county princess."
"Hmph." Feng Yu Heng sneered, "You brought the young imperial grandson to pay respects to this county princess. How could this county princess accept it." While saying this, she walked forward and moved to support the concubine; however, she placed her own hands on her wrists. With this, she had an understanding "Fourth sister." She turned her head and called Fen Dai: "Don't worry about hitting. Your second sister is a doctor. This woman's belly does not have a child."
Fen Dai heard this and became spirited, excitedly saying: "Second sister, you were the one that allowed me to hit her."
"Un, she deserves to be hit."
Seeing Feng Yu Heng nod, Fen Dai did not wait any longer. She stood on her tiptoes and slapped the concubine five or six times.
Huang Quan had already gone forward to restrain the woman when Feng Yu Heng spoke. Feng Fen Dai's slaps did not stop her in the slightest. Only when her palms became numb did she stop. She did not forget to curse at the woman: "Lowly servant!"
None of the spectating citizens spoke. Although Feng Fen Dai appeared to be very arrogant, if this matter truly was discussed, it really was the Li Palace's concubine's fault.
For the sake of saving a dog, she had startled their carriage and nearly injured them, yet she still dared to cause a ruckus. She was just a concubine. What face did she have to come to the streets to flaunt? Moreover, she was the Li Palace's concubine. She was even less valuable.
Ji 'an was correct in her teachings!
Everything that county princess Ji 'an did was correct!
The concubine's face was swollen from being slapped by Feng Fen Dai, and tears streamed down her face. While crying, she said: "Why did you hit me? I am Prince Li's woman. What right do you have to hit me? "
Feng Yu Heng laughed disdainfully, "I am the dignified county princess. You are just a concubine. What right do you have to question me? Remember, a concubine is a concubine. Unless you are the Emperor's concubine, you do not have the right to cause trouble for the young miss of the prime minister's manor. Even if your manor has many secondary princesses, it would be best if you understood that in this day and age, there will always be new favorites. My fourth sister entered the manor after you, and her position is higher than yours. In the future, it is possible that you will need to rely on her. If you were a smart person, you would not have done what you did. Moreover, behind her is the court's prime minister. What about you? "
The concubine was immediately stunned. That's right. Just thinking about how the Li Palace's secondary princesses were worthless, they had a large family behind them. What about her? Her family was nothing more than a dessert shop. What right did she have to compete with them?
This woman was filled with regret.
"Let's go." Feng Yu Heng waved her hand, "Return to your Li Palace. If you can't get over it, you can go complain to Prince Li. Let's see if he favors you or his future secondary princess. "
After being lectured by Feng Yu Heng, the concubine no longer had the same vigor as she did earlier. She left dejectedly.
The people that had come to watch the excitement also dispersed. This farce became the topic of conversation once more.
Having won this battle, Feng Fen Dai was very happy. Even when she looked at Feng Yu Heng, she felt that she was more pleasing to the eye.
But Han shi was a little unable to understand Feng Yu Heng's actions. She understood in her heart that Feng Yu Heng did not like Fen Dai, especially after Fen Dai's actions. It was already pretty good that she did not try to harm Fen Dai. Why would she help her?
"Many thanks second young miss for helping me out." Han shi spoke up to give her thanks. No matter what was said, the proper etiquette still needed to be shown.
"Second sister, thanks." Fen Dai also spoke up, but there was not much respect in her words.
Feng Yu Heng did not care about her attitude at all. She just turned around and walked out. Fen Dai and Han shi followed behind her. While walking, Fen Dai said: "If it was not for that woman using the imperial grandson in her belly to speak, I would not fear her."
"Un." Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Fourth sister is the young miss of the prime minister's manor. There is indeed no need to fear her. It's just … "She wanted to say something but stopped.
Han shi understood and quickly asked: "Does second young miss have anything to say?"
"It can't be considered an order." She said, "I just want to remind fourth sister and concubine mother Han that when you are feeling proud, you should think a little. Is eldest sister's grace that easy to accept?"
She threw out these words then brought Huang Quan to the carriage waiting outside and left.
Feng Fen Dai looked at the beautiful imperial carriage and could not help but feel jealous of Feng Yu Heng: "Just wait and see! Sooner or later, there will come a day when I will also sit in that carriage. I want to see who still dares to cause trouble! "
Han shi frowned and quickly pulled Fen Dai into her family's carriage. The driver that had been flipped over was waiting outside. Seeing his masters get in the carriage, he quickly asked: "Which way are we going?"
Han shi said: "Back to the manor."
The driver nodded and turned the horse around, heading back in the direction of the Feng manor.
"Young miss, do not get angry. Second young miss is right. No matter how arrogant she is, she is still just a concubine. No matter what, she cannot win against you." Pei 'er grabbed Fen Dai's arm and comforted her.
Han shi was also worried and repeatedly comforted her, saying: "When we return to the manor, we will report to elder madam. This engagement must be canceled."
Fen Dai immediately sobered up and glared at Han shi, asking: "Cancel? Why should it be canceled? "
Han shi was stunned, "Have you become muddled from anger? What sort of person is his Highness the fifth prince? Did you not hear what others said? You still want to jump into this pit of fire? "
"What can I do if I don't jump?" Feng Fen Dai's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, "The Li Palace is a pit of fire, but what sort of good place is the Feng manor? Even if I do not marry Prince Li, there will come a day when father will give me to someone else as a bargaining chip. Feng Yu Heng once said that I cannot make a decision on my own regarding my marriage, and you are even less able to make a decision. Aside from father, the only ones that can make a decision are her and elder madam. Do you feel that I would be better off as a bargaining chip with someone else than with his Highness Prince Li? "
Han shi was stunned. She felt that what Fen Dai said was correct. A girl's marriage had always been decided by the father and first wife. The Feng family did not have a first wife, so the daughter of the first wife had the right to speak. Either way, regardless of who made the decision, it was not up to them to say a single word. Rather than being given away as a bargaining chip in the future to someone of value, it would be better to follow his Highness the fifth prince, who seemed to be loyal. But …
"There are still four years until you become of marriageable age. Who knows what will happen during these four years." Han shi faintly sighed. You also heard it just now. The Li Palace has no lack of women. Prince Li is the groom every night. Who can guarantee that he will still remember you after four years?
Fen Dai, however, curled her lips into a smile, "Concubine mother, don't worry. I will definitely have him firmly remember me."
