Good?
What good!
If Xuan Tian Yan was not a prince, Feng Jin Yuan really wanted to slap him "Your Highness Prince Li, could it be that you do not understand! The more you act like this, the angrier his Majesty will be! Are you trying to push my Feng family to the brink of destruction? "
"This …" Xuan Tian Yan was at a loss for words.
Feng Jin Yuan continued: "Your Highness Prince Li is a prince, but my Feng family is not a commoner. If your Highness insists on being apologetic to this prime minister, do not blame this prime minister for being merciless! Prince Li should think carefully. Can you afford to touch my Feng family now! "
Feng Jin Yuan's words were already extremely impolite. First, Xuan Tian Yan was indeed unable to gain any benefits from the Emperor. He was a standard first rank prime minister, and he truly did not pay any attention to a prince that did not have any power or imperial favor. Second, the thing that allowed Feng Jin Yuan to straighten his back the most was that his second daughter had the method for producing steel. That was a treasure that all of Dashun needed to protect. Not to mention a prince, but even the Emperor would need to smile a little more when he saw Feng Yu Heng. As a father, how could he not use this opportunity to become a little more unyielding.
It was just that after he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Feng Yu Heng, who had already come over. Seeing that she did not have any intention of refuting him, he calmed down and said: "Your Highness, please go back. This prime minister will have someone send the engagement letter back tomorrow. There is no need to bring this matter up again."
"Father!" Upon hearing that the engagement letter would be sent back, Fen Dai immediately became anxious. During her time in the manor, she had relied on his Highness the fifth prince's favor. She had truly lived a comfortable life. She no longer wanted to return to the days when her father and grandmother did not love her. His Highness the fifth prince's engagement definitely could not be canceled. "Father, now that everyone knows that daughter has an engagement with his Highness the fifth prince, even if it is canceled, a girl that has canceled an engagement with a prince, how do you want daughter to get married in the future!"
Upon hearing Fen Dai speak, Feng Jin Yuan became angry. Earlier, it was not good for him to vent his anger in the hall, but now that there were no longer so many people around, his anger immediately surged forth "Shut your mouth! Little bastard, sooner or later, the Feng family will be ruined by you! "
Feng Fen Dai was dazed. How could it be so serious. What exactly did she do wrong?
Looking at Xuan Tianyan in a daze, she asked him in confusion: "I tried my best to find out what you liked, and I heard that you liked to watch this Snow Plum Dance, gritting your teeth to practice on such a cold day, causing frostbite to form on your feet. But why is the Emperor angry when I dance so well? Isn't today the New Year? Wasn't it said that this subject's daughter could display her talents during the New Year? Why is this happening? "
Xuan Tian Yan looked at the weeping Fendai, and his heart ached for her. But what should he say? No matter what he said, it was wrong!
Eldest Princess Kang Yi, who had been standing to the side the entire time, spoke up at this time, advising Xuan Tian Yan: "Your Highness, do not be anxious. Listen to this One's advice and return to the manor first. This matter happened suddenly and should allow Prime Minister Feng to return to the manor and think about it carefully." As she said this, she looked at Feng Jin Yuan and advised: "People should not make decisions while agitated. Minister Feng, please reconsider."
For some reason, Feng Jin Yuan was very pleased with eldest princess Kang Yi's words. Thus he nodded, "That's fine. Your Highness should return to the manor. We will discuss this matter later. "
There was nothing that Xuan Tian Yan could do. He glanced at Fendai and wanted to say a few words of advice; however, he felt that anything he said would be pointless. He also did not have any position, thus he simply flicked his sleeve and left.
Fendai watched his departing figure and cried even more pitifully.
Feng Jin Yuan helplessly said to Kang Yi: "Since her Highness the Empress said to allow this little beast to stay at princess' side for a few days, it would not be good for Jin Yuan to bring her back. Would princess please take care of her for a few days!"
Kang Yi smiled and said: "It's fine. She will be able to keep Ru Jia company."
In regards to this, Princess Ru Jia did not have any objections. She just reminded Feng Jin Yuan: "My lord, do not forget about tomorrow's appointment. I really want to eat food from the central plains."
Only then did Feng Jin Yuan reveal a smile, "Princess, don't worry. The manor has everything."
Kang Yi's group left with Fendai. Only then did Feng Jin Yuan find some time to ask Feng Yu Heng: "Why was it that I did not see your eldest sister during the banquet?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "I don't know."
Feng Jin Yuan wanted to say, how could you not know? Thinking a little more, after Feng Yu Heng saluted the Empress, she naturally needed to go see Consort Yun. She could not keep watching Chen Yu the entire time. When he brought Zirui to Fei Cui Hall, Chen Yu was already gone.
It was Xiang Rong that could not bear to see her father's troubled appearance and replied: "When eldest sister went out, daughter was present. She said that she was going to greet imperial concubine Xian."
"Imperial concubine Gu Xian?" Feng Jin Yuan frowned, "Imperial concubine Gu Xian was present during the banquet. Why has your eldest sister still not returned?"
Xiang Rong shook her head this time, "Daughter does not know."
There was nothing that he could do. He could only tell Feng Yu Heng: "Zirui left with his Highness the young prince first and went to the Yuan Palace to play. In a while, father will pass by the Yuan Palace on my way back to the manor and pick him up. You should return to the manor first. I will ask around to find out where Chen Yu went. " He truly felt a headache coming on. Aside from the most obedient third daughter, none of the others allowed him to be at ease. One caused trouble, and one went missing. What exactly was going on?
Before Feng Yu Heng could leave, a palace maid walked forward at this time. Bowing in front of her, she respectfully said: "This servant pays respects to county princess. This servant is a servant of Yan Fu Palace. Imperial concubine Xian ordered this servant to invite county princess to Yan Fu Palace for a chat. "
"Imperial concubine Xian?" The one that spoke was Feng Yu Heng. Just as he mentioned imperial concubine Xian, she sent someone to invite her. He just did not know what she wanted to do with Feng Yu Heng. But regardless of what happened, he trusted that with Feng Yu Heng's current position, imperial concubine Xian inviting her over was definitely not a bad thing. Feng Yu Heng had the ability to produce steel and was the most popular person in front of the Emperor. Would imperial concubine Xian have nothing better to do than cause trouble for her at this critical juncture? The people of the palace all had their own agendas. Who knew if she would be called over to give her a reward or to establish a relationship. He quickly said to Feng Yu Heng: "Then Heng Heng, quickly go."
Feng Yu Heng nodded then said: "Now that eldest sister and fourth sister are not here, father should bring Xiang Rong back to the manor. Leaving her on her own is not something that daughter can feel at ease."
"That is natural." Feng Jin Yuan's attitude towards her was extremely good, "You should also be a little more careful when you go back." Thinking a little more, he simply walked over and quietly said: "Father will leave the hidden guard with you. I will have him wait near your imperial carriage. Currently, your safety is most important. You absolutely must not be careless. "
She did not hold back and directly nodded in agreement. She then patted Xiang Rong then turned and followed the palace maid in the direction of Yan Fu Palace.
Feng Jin Yuan watched her walk away and thought to himself that he would definitely increase the number of guards after returning to the manor, especially around the county princess' manor. He now had the responsibility to protect his daughter's safety. Once something happened to Feng Yu Heng at home, he really would not be able to keep his head.
Feng Yu Heng followed the palace maid in the direction of Yan Fu Palace. The palace maid kept her mouth shut and did not say a single word. She could not be bothered to ask. Imperial concubine Xian was the eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi's birth mother. She had prepared herself long ago to be summoned. Of course, this summons definitely would not be related to Feng Chen Yu. Instead, it was related to the deal between them and Xuan Tian Qi.
When they finally arrived at Yan Fu Palace, the first thing she saw upon entering the palace was Chen Yu and Xing 'er kneeling in the yard. The two were kneeling unsteadily. The cloth covering Chen Yu's head had also been loosened, and her hair was undone. She looked very haggard. Xing 'er was even more unlucky. Because she was a servant, when she was beaten, the old women's hands were a little heavier. Her back was beaten until it was badly mutilated, and the thick winter clothes were soaked with blood.
When she passed by them, Feng Yu Heng stopped for a moment and saw Chen Yu raise her head. Her gaze was a little unfocused. Even if she saw Feng Yu Heng, who had been ruthless to the bone, she was unable to focus.
The palace maid that had been silent the entire time finally spoke up: "The two of them cursed imperial concubine Xian and were punished to kneel here. County princess should quickly go in so as to avoid dirtying your eyes."
She smiled and nodded. Retracting her gaze, she followed the palace maid into the main room.
Imperial concubine Gu Xian was the oldest of Tianwu's imperial concubines. She was already nearing 50 years old. At the same time, she was the one that had been with Tianwu the longest. In the imperial palace, aside from the Empress managing the six palaces, the power to manage the six palaces naturally fell into her hands.
But imperial concubine Gu Xian was an understanding person. She did not say anything excessive, but if anyone wanted to play any tricks under her watch, that was definitely not allowed. Perhaps Tianwu did not love her, but he had absolute respect and affection for her. That was why imperial concubine Gu Xian's position in the palace could not be underestimated.
In truth, Feng Yu Heng had already prepared herself for being summoned by imperial concubine Gu Xian, but she thought that it would be earlier. As a result, it was delayed until today's banquet. As for everything that had happened at the banquet, imperial concubine Gu Xian no longer had any bargaining power.
While she was thinking, she had already arrived. She bowed and performed a thorough salute, "Imperial concubine Heng pays respects to imperial concubine Xian. I wish imperial concubine good fortune and good health."
Imperial concubine Gu Xian sat at the head of the table. She had not yet changed out of her palace clothes, and her hair was adorned with complicated ornaments. She looked a little more dignified.
Feng Yu Heng saluted, but she did not call for her to rise. Instead, she examined this county princess Ji 'an. Just now in the hall, this girl had been too flashy. She did not know if it was a psychological effect or something else, but she felt that this girl had a halo around her. It was so dazzling that she could not open her eyes. She did not have time to look at her carefully.
But now, she could not allow Feng Yu Heng to maintain her salute for too long. After all, before the end of the year, she had been hesitant about whether or not to meet her. She had prepared a number of questions, but now, the opportunity had been lost. When faced with this young girl, she no longer had any advantage.
"You may rise." Imperial concubine Gu Xian was calm, "You may sit."
Feng Yu Heng stood up and thanked her with a smile. Then she sat in the guest's seat in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. Her movements were proper and generous. She did not have the reservedness and shyness of young girls. Imperial concubine Gu Xian felt that this girl's personality was a little similar to Xuan Tiange's.
Speaking truthfully, she really liked Feng Yu Heng. It could even be said that she admired her. After all, she had broken iron essence with a single strike. Not only had she gained a great deal of face for Dashun, she had also said that she wanted to use the method of producing steel in Dashun's army. For this sort of spirit to appear in a 13-year-old girl, how could people not admire her.
But these were separate matters. As long as she thought of how Feng Yu Heng had worked with Xuan Tianming to push her son to the peak of the court, her heart filled with anger.
Her son had spent his entire life in business. She had never hoped for Xuan Tian Qi to fight for the throne, nor did she hope for him to participate in the struggle for imperial power. From a young age to now, for the sake of allowing the eldest son of the Emperor, Xuan Tian Qi, to avoid the struggle for the throne and avoid being killed by his brothers, who knew how much effort her Gu family had put in. But no matter how much effort she put in, she never expected that her son would suddenly be persuaded by Xuan Tianming and this girl!
Imperial concubine Gu Xian stared at Feng Yu Heng, her gaze revealing an undisguised hostility.
