Last time when she went to Winter Moon Palace, what did Consort Yun say? She didn't want a beautiful face. She didn't want to be remembered.
Although this might have been said in anger, there was no woman in the world who didn't want to be beautiful. But in the imperial palace, one's thoughts were one thing and the situation was another. Since Consort Yun said those words, she must have her own thoughts. Feng Yu Heng knew that she had always been a woman with a lot of things on her mind. It was best if she didn't go against the wind.
Forget it. She had prepared the same makeup as the empress, but now that she thought about it, it wasn't suitable.
She continued to walk forward, thinking about what gift to exchange for. Huang Quan asked her, "Did young miss think of something?"
She shook her head, "No, I'm just thinking about whether Consort Yun will like the gift I prepared for her."
"She will definitely like it." Huang Quan said with a smile, "Young miss has always been meticulous. Consort Yun also likes you very much. Anything you give her will be fine."
Feng Yu Heng understood that whether she liked it or not, it was a choice made after weighing the pros and cons. Aside from her first meeting with Imperial Concubine Yun, she could tell that Imperial Concubine Yun had a good impression of the Yao family. As for the rest, was it not because her existence was not bad for Xuan Tian Ming. Consort Yun was a shrewd woman. How could she allow a useless fiancee to appear by her son's side?
She kept thinking in her heart and walked quickly. In the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, she arrived in front of Winter Moon Palace.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng had already thought of a gift for Consort Yun, but it was still in her space.
The gate of Winter Moon Palace was still closed. There were female guards outside the gate. There were no red lanterns hanging all over the palace. There wasn't even the word 'fortune'. There wasn't even the slightest bit of New Year's atmosphere. It was so cold that it made people's hearts tremble.
She walked forward with light steps. Before she could open her mouth, an imperial guard recognized her and hurriedly came forward to bow: "Greetings, Wangfei." The people of Winter Moon Palace did not know how to call her County Princess, so they followed the Xuan Tianming's name and called her that. She was used to it.
"I came to see Imperial Mother. Is she here?"
"Yes." The guard turned to open the palace gates and said at the same time: "Consort Yun already knew that Wang Fei would definitely come. She even said that she would arrive after paying her respects to Fei Cui Hall. It seems that Niangniang was right."
Feng Yu Heng smiled sweetly as she entered Winter Moon Palace. Immediately, a palace maid stepped forward to salute and lead the way. She then informed Feng Yu Heng: "Niang niang is currently in Purple Myrtle Hall. The supervisor of the Imperial Astronomer has arrived and is currently explaining the power of the stars to niang niang."
"The Imperial Astronomer …" She muttered to herself as she pondered. She seemed to have heard Xuan Tianming mention it before. It was a department in the palace that was responsible for subjective astrology. "Niang niang also believes in this?"
The palace maid replied with a smile, "It can't be considered believing. Niang niang only said that the people of the Imperial Astronomer are very good at telling stories. When you're bored, you can listen to them to pass the time."
Alright, Consort Yun actually had this kind of idea. Feng Yu Heng couldn't help but laugh. But thinking about it, listening to the Imperial Astronomer tell stories was indeed interesting.
As they spoke, they arrived at Purple Myrtle Hall. Huang Quan stood outside the door according to etiquette and did not enter. The palace maid stood in front of the door and raised her voice: "Reporting to niang niang, Wang Fei has arrived." Then without waiting for a response, she reached out and gently pushed the door open. She gestured for Feng Yu Heng to enter.
Feng Yu Heng slowly walked in. Inside, another palace maid immediately saluted and led the way. It was only when she walked into Purple Myrtle Hall that she discovered that this hall was built in a very mysterious way. Objects of yin, yang, and the five elements could be seen everywhere. Even the colors were arranged according to the colors of the five elements. Directly in front of her was a half-high stage. The stage was surrounded by curtains. It was hazy and indistinct. Inside, she could vaguely see, but she couldn't see anything clearly.
Below the stage stood a person wearing an official's robe. He held a scroll in his hand and was very seriously narrating the changes of the stars. Feng Yu Heng heard that person say: "In the past half year, the positions of the palaces have changed frequently. There are stars that rise and stars that fall. The Star of the Phoenix in the northwest has been in the capital for several months and has stabilized. This star suddenly appeared in the world. There was no sign of the astrolabe gliding. It was also outside of the twelve main palaces and suddenly lit up in the sky. It is truly a spectacle that only appears once in ten thousand years. "
She didn't know why, but when she heard the two words "Star of the Phoenix", her heart trembled.
She unconsciously pressed her hand against her chest. The palace maid beside her looked at her in surprise and asked in a small voice: "Wang Fei, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "I'm fine." Her gaze turned towards Jian Zheng from the Imperial Astronomer.
When she looked over, Jian Zheng had just finished his last sentence. Hearing that there was someone behind him, he tactfully moved two steps to the side. Just as Feng Yu Heng's gaze fell on him, he seemed to have sensed it and suddenly raised his head. The two's eyes met, and the head of the Board of Astronomy trembled, as his eyes became wide.
"Did Heng Heng come?" On the high platform, imperial concubine Yun's voice rose.
Feng Yu Heng politely nodded towards Jian Zheng. Then she quickly walked forward and knelt on the ground: "Daughter-in-law pays respects to Mufei. I wish Mufei good luck in everything."
"En, I love to hear our Heng Heng speak. The one who was telling the story, you can leave. Ben gong wants to speak with Daughter-in-law for a while. " Imperial Concubine Yun had always spoken casually. She could not remember this Jian Zheng's name, and she could not even figure out his official title. She only knew that he was telling a very interesting story about the stars. She felt that it was very mysterious and amusing.
Jian Zheng from the Imperial Astronomer did not argue and bowed to leave. But when he left, he glanced towards Feng Yu Heng, but the other party did not respond.
When he left the hall, he felt his heart beating rapidly. After many years of astrology, his intuition was naturally sharper than normal people's. He could conclude that this future Princess Yu was a key star in his astrolabe!
"Heng Heng came at the right time." In the Purple Myrtle Hall, Consort Yun had already walked down the stage. She was wearing a sky blue palace dress today. Although it was still plain, there were a few blooming flowers embroidered on it. It could be considered a bit fitting for the new year. "That person just finished telling a story about the arrival of the Phoenix Star. Ben gong was just worried that there was no one to chat with."
Consort Yun spoke while taking the initiative to hold Feng Yu Heng's hand. The two walked over to the Purple Myrtle Hall's seating area. Consort Yun sat down first and then gave her a seat. Only then did the servants bring over a few plates of fruits.
"Who knows where Hua-er got these lychees in the middle of Winter. They're still very fresh. Have a taste." Consort Yun pointed at the large plate of lychees in front of her and said: "In the past, I loved eating these, but after eating a lot, I had enough. But eating them occasionally in the Winter still feels pretty good. "
Of course, Feng Yu Heng could not actually peel the lychees and eat them. She quickly reached into her sleeve and pulled out two bags from her wide sleeves.
She was wearing the county princess's palace dress today. The sleeves were much wider than normal clothes, making it easier for her to hide things at any time.
"Today is the New Year. Mufei also knows that all the good things in this daughter-in-law's fu were given by His Highness. This daughter-in-law doesn't want to borrow flowers to present Buddha. But in my early years in the Northwest, I got a lot of good things from my Persian master. So, I found something that could be considered very useful and brought it to mufei. " As she spoke, she handed the two buns in front of Consort Yun. Without waiting for the other to ask, she stood up and took a few steps forward to whisper in Consort Yun's ear.
Not long after, Consort Yun had a surprised expression and blurted out: "Is what you said true?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Not a word of falsehood. Next time mufei is on her period, you'll know when you try it." Two bags of sanitary napkins were really good news for women in the ancient times.
Consort Yun trusted Feng Yu Heng very much, especially when it came to these novel things. Last time, the small mirror was very useful. After accepting this special gift, Consort Yun couldn't hide her expression. Although she still had that languid appearance, she seemed to have a bit of radiance. Compared to the first time she saw her, she had faintly recovered some warmth.
"This consort has seen Ming's leg." Consort Yun waved her hand and dismissed the servants. Then she said: "Originally, this consort thought that he wouldn't get better. This consort was very sad for a while. Who would have thought that that brat was lucky enough to meet you."
Feng Yu Heng replied with a smile: "Mufei is too serious. Heng and His Highness met by chance. I'm indebted to His Highness for not abandoning me. This can be considered a kind of fate."
Consort Yun nodded. She was very satisfied with Feng Yu Heng's humble appearance. Although this girl was a member of the Feng family, her appearance was very similar to that of the Yao family. She really didn't look like Feng Jin Yuan at all. "Ever since Ming was three years old, this consort has been guessing what kind of wife this brat would find in the future. If it wasn't to my liking, even if I had to break her leg, I definitely wouldn't allow her to enter the manor. Who would have thought that after so many years, there would be such a suitable girl like you. This consort is very satisfied. " Consort Yun giggled for a while. Then, without waiting to see if Feng Yu Heng had anything else to say, she suddenly raised her hand: "Go, Fei Cui Hall is hosting a banquet today. It will definitely be lively. Quickly go and take a look."
Feng Yu Heng originally felt that this Consort Yun was a little temperamental. Now that she felt that this bad habit of hers was acting up again, she did not think too much about it. Standing up, she saluted and left.
As for Consort Yun, who was still sitting in her original place, she picked up a lychee. While peeling it, she looked towards a corner out of the corner of her eye. Her lips curled into a sneer.
Feng Yu Heng left Zi Wei Hall and brought Huang Quan out of Winter Moon Palace. Just as they were about to reach the entrance, they met a man in a moon-white robe. He looked refined and refined.
She immediately smiled and quickly stepped forward. Raising her voice, she said: "Seventh Brother."
The person who came was the Seventh Prince, Xuan Tianhua. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he did not see Feng Yu Heng. It was only when he was called that he came back to his senses. Staring blankly, he looked at her and said: "Heng."
Feng Yu Heng could see the worry on his face. She could not help but ask: "Seventh Brother, what happened?"
Xuan Tianhua opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. He only waved his hand and said: "It's nothing. I came to see Imperial Mother. In a while, I will also be going to Fei Cui Hall. You go first. "After saying that, he did not wait for Feng Yu Heng to ask again and walked into the palace.
This time, even Huang Quan was stunned. The Seventh Prince, who was always gentle, was not in a good mood today!
Feng Yu Heng did not say anything. She calmly walked out of Winter Moon Palace. She knew that Xuan Tianhua must have encountered something. Moreover, this matter was very difficult to deal with. At least, it made him feel embarrassed. It was just that she could not understand. To Xuan Tian Hua, what exactly was it that could cause him to feel troubled?
The two of them walked in the direction of Fei Cui Hall. From time to time, they would meet madams and young misses who were also sending gifts to the various palaces. Feng Yu Heng suddenly asked: "That's right, who is His Imperial Highness's Imperial Mother?"
Huang Quan told her: "It's Imperial Concubine Gu Xian. She lives in Yan Fu Palace." As he said that, he pointed to a fork in the road: "That way is the direction of Yan Fu Palace."
As he spoke, several people were walking towards them. Huang Quan said in a low voice: "They are all here to send gifts. Now that His Highness's reputation is flourishing, there are naturally many people sending gifts to Yan Fu Palace. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's right. People are always very good at seeing where the limelight is going." As she spoke, she looked towards the path. She saw that behind the group of people that Huang Quan had pointed to, there were two more people that she could faintly make out. Her eyes were sharp and immediately recognized the people- "Look, the one walking in the back, is that Feng Chen Yu?"
