"Nonsense!" Feng Jin Yuan angrily tore the letter to shreds. Xuan Tian Ye was truly an intolerable bully!
"Master." The hidden guard naturally understood Feng Jin Yuan's thoughts, but he had no choice but to remind him, "Master, please think carefully before acting. We absolutely must not be disturbed by the second young miss."
Feng Jin Yuan took a deep breath. In his mind, it was as though there were two people fighting. One was for Xuan Tian Ye, and the other was for Feng Yu Heng. One was his own daughter, and the other was the ruler that he had chosen after remaining neutral for many years. Feng Jin Yuan could not decide what to do and began to pace around the study.
But the hidden guard reminded him at this time: "Based on the current situation, His Ninth Highness has no hope of becoming the crown prince. Then the second young miss should be helping his Highness the eldest prince. But in the end, there is still a gap. Who can guarantee what will happen after his Highness the eldest prince ascends the throne? "
"Are you advising this prime minister to continue standing on his Highness the third prince's side?"
The hidden guard quickly kneeled on the ground: "This subordinate is a hidden guard and is only responsible for protecting master's life, but since master has ordered this subordinate to keep an eye on his Highness the third prince's letter, this subordinate spoke out of turn."
Feng Jin Yuan nodded, "Get up. This prime minister does not have any intention of blaming you." While he spoke, he personally picked up the torn letter, "This matter still needs to be considered at length."
That night, Feng Yu Heng slept more peacefully than ever before. It was as she had said to Huang Quan. Now that she had so many hidden guards and Imperial Guard, not to mention a living person, perhaps even a bird would not be able to fly in.
But Huang Quan was not as optimistic. After taking care of Feng Yu Heng, he slept on a soft bed in the outer room for the night. There was nothing that Feng Yu Heng could do about her, so she could only take her in.
In truth, she had also thought about it. As long as the method for producing steel was exposed, she would definitely become the target of everyone. Not to mention the spies and assassins from the other countries, but even within Da Shun's borders, danger existed at all times.
But there was absolutely no need for her to be afraid! The Steelmaking Technique was in her head. If he wanted to obtain it, he would have to capture her alive. For her, as long as she was alive, she could enter the space anytime and anywhere. How could she encounter any danger?
Right now, she was not worried about her own safety. Instead, she was worried about the danger hidden in the Feng manor …
The next day, she woke up very early. After freshening up and eating, she brought Zirui to Shu Ya Courtyard.
When she arrived, the old lady hadn't finished her breakfast yet. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng had come so early, the old lady thought that something had happened and panicked for a while. But when Feng Yu Heng told her that she just came to pay her respects, she immediately became happy again.
"Mr. Heng is the most sensible one. Grandmother has always known this." The old lady smiled and stopped eating. Pulling on Feng Yu Heng's hand, she began to express her feelings: "This time, not only have you gained face for the Feng family, you have also gained face for Dashun. Who knows how grateful the emperor will be to you! In truth, you have always been the most important granddaughter in grandmother's heart. You are the daughter of the first wife. Our Feng family's future will depend on you. Hah, it's just that your older sisters and younger sisters are not sensible. Sometimes, in order to appease them, you will have to suffer some grievances. Mr. Heng, don't take it to heart. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "What is grandmother saying? Mr. Heng is the daughter of the first wife. How could I bicker with my sisters of concubines. It's just that there were many things to do before the end of the year, so I didn't have much time to take care of the family. I hope grandmother will forgive me. "
Hearing her speak so sensibly, the old lady's smile couldn't help but deepen.
Feng Yu Heng half turned around and took something from Huang Quan's hands, "This is something granddaughter prepared for grandmother before the end of the year. I didn't have time to send it before the end of the year. I originally wanted to send it here after the palace banquet, but who knew that something like that would happen. I only brought it to grandmother today. Grandmother won't blame Mr. Heng, right? "
As she spoke, she opened the thing in her hands. It was a silk outer garment. Silk products were thin and cold, so it couldn't be worn in the winter. However, it was very beautiful to wear in the spring and autumn.
The old lady only felt that this silk felt very good. The dark green color was natural and didn't seem like it was dyed at all. She reached out to touch it again, but it seemed like she couldn't touch anything. She repeatedly touched it a few times before she felt that she had indeed touched the silk material. Other good materials were the best, which meant that the touch was very good. However, this thing felt like it was nothing. This was very surprising.
The old lady stared at the outer garment in a daze. Zhao mama, who was next to her, exclaimed, "This is … moon palace silk?"
"What?" The old lady was stunned, "What silk are you talking about?"
Zhao mama said, "Moon palace silk! It's moon palace silk, old lady! Second Miss gave you an outer robe made of moon palace silk! "
"It's really moon palace silk?" The old lady's jaw almost dropped. No wonder this thing looked so good that it didn't seem like something that should exist in this world. She didn't expect it to be moon palace silk, one of the five treasures. She couldn't help but look at Feng Yu Heng for confirmation.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and nodded at her, "It is moon palace silk. Heng has been back in the capital for half a year. Grandmother took care of her, but she didn't have anything good to give, so she had someone make this outer garment out of moon palace silk. Although it can't be worn in the winter, it will be most comfortable for grandmother to wear when the flowers bloom in spring. "
The old lady was practically dazed from joy. If it wasn't for Feng Yu Heng still being present, she definitely would have hugged the moon palace silk and kissed it. She had lived for so long that half of her body was already in the ground. Who knew that she would receive a piece of clothing from one of the five treasures. Thinking about it, aside from Feng Yu Heng, there was no one else in the world that could be so generous.
"Good granddaughter, grandmother really did not dote on you for nothing."
She suddenly felt a little troubled, saying: "Hah, if I knew earlier that the eldest princess of Qian Zhou would be coming to the Feng manor as a guest, Heng Heng would not have sent this moon palace silk to grandmother."
"Hm?" The old lady did not manage to react. Why would she not send it when someone from Qian Zhou came?
Granny Zhao understood and quickly said: "Moon palace silk is a tribute from the country of Qian Zhou. Second Miss must have felt that using it in front of the people of Qian Zhou would not be too good. After all, that thing is too valuable. I heard that the imperial family of Qian Zhou does not even have any use for it. All of it must be given to our Dashun."
The old lady nodded, "Our Heng Heng's thoughts are clear. She has thought things through thoroughly. But it's fine. Either way, this treasure cannot be worn right now. Grandmother, take good care of it. It's fine as long as the eldest princess of Qian Zhou does not see it. "
Feng Yu Heng, however, shook her head and said with a troubled expression: "It's not entirely because of that. It's just that granddaughter did not think that Qian Zhou's Princess Ru Jia would ask father Emperor for a reward. Father Emperor was happy and rewarded her with two bolts of moon palace silk. Qian Zhou's eldest princess already gave us four handkerchiefs yesterday. Thinking about it, she received another two bolts. Today, she will definitely give them to grandmother as a greeting gift. With just this thin outer garment, wouldn't Heng look a little too shabby? "
"You are saying that Qian Zhou's princess will give me moon palace silk?" The old lady's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was so wide that she could not close it. Granny Zhao also laughed and said: "It seems that elder madam will have some good material to make clothes for this Spring and Summer!"
Feng Yu Heng also said: "But of course, even if that Princess Ru Jia is not willing to give both bolts of moon palace silk to grandmother, she should at least give one bolt, right?"
"One bolt is enough. One bolt is enough!" The old lady did not have any hopes of wanting it all, as she continued to calculate: "If it's made for Summer clothes, one bolt of material would be enough to make two."
Feng Yu Heng said with a red face: "That's why I hope that grandmother will not dislike Heng Heng's small outer garment."
"Hah, I don't dislike it!" To the old lady, the more good things there were, the better. How could she dislike it. She immediately grabbed Feng Yu Heng's hand and began chatting. They chatted until it was about time. Only then did granny Zhao accompany her to the kitchen. She said that she would personally keep an eye on the dishes on the table. She would add four more dishes for the sake of the moon palace silk.
After the old lady left Shu Ya courtyard, Feng Yu Heng brought Huang Quan and Zirui to Peony courtyard. Zirui walked while asking her: "Will Qian Zhou's princess really send the moon palace silk? When I was at the academy, I heard my classmates say that Qian Zhou's national treasure, moon palace silk, can be made in five years. It's very precious. "
Feng Yu Heng rubbed his little head and smiled but did not say anything. It was Huang Quan that said: "If it really was sent, then our good things would have been wasted."
Zirui did not understand what the two were talking about, but he did not ask too much. He just smiled and followed Feng Yu Heng toward Peony courtyard. "Headteacher said that I should just focus on studying. I should not get involved in the matters of the family. I will listen to headteacher. As long as I know that elder sister will not be bullied by others, it's fine. "
For the sake of welcoming the two princesses back to the manor, Feng Jin Yuan also went to the front yard early in the morning. He personally directed the servants to busy themselves.
Han shi was very understanding today, as she also busied herself. There were times when she saw that the servants were not doing their work well, so she would help out. This gave Feng Jin Yuan a fright and quickly called for someone to bring her back to Yu Lan courtyard to avoid affecting the fetus.
But how could Han shi remain in Yu Lan courtyard. She quickly went over to Peony courtyard. Upon entering, she saw that the female guests were all sitting there. She also sat down and tried to find something to talk about: "I really never thought that the eldest princess of Qian Zhou would be such a good person. Our fourth young miss is fortunate to be able to receive the favor of such a good person. Today, she will be returning together with her!" She had asked around yesterday and finally heard that Fen Dai had been saved by the eldest princess of Qian Zhou. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief, as her impression of the eldest princess improved. In addition to this, she did not see Feng Chen Yu come out, thus she felt that Fen Dai was who knows how many times better than Chen Yu.
She spoke to herself but found that not a single person in the hall paid any attention to her. Resentfully, she shut her mouth. Everyone sat in silence until a servant ran in and said: "Honored guests have arrived. Elder madam has invited everyone to go and receive them."
Feng Yu Heng was the first to stand up and lead the way out.
Today, Kang Yi wore a plain-colored Winter robe. Only the collar, sleeves and waist were adorned with peony-colored flowers. It looked simple and elegant, but it did not lose the festive spirit of the new year. As for Princess Ru Jia, she wore a lake-blue Winter robe, which gave her a very lively appearance.
The matriarch and Feng Jin Yuan stood at the very front. Upon seeing the princess get out of the carriage, the matriarch moved to kneel. Feng Yu Heng, who was behind her, supported her and quietly said: "Princess of a foreign country. Grandmother, there is no need for such a grand salute." The matriarch thought a little then straightened her body.
Feng Jin Yuan and Kang Yi could be considered familiar. After exchanging some pleasantries, he led her into Peony courtyard's hall.
Sure enough, Fen Dai had come back with them. She looked to be in high spirits, which allowed Han shi to relax.
Upon entering the hall, Kang Yi did not sit. Instead, she personally helped the matriarch sit down. She then saluted to the matriarch and said: "Kang Yi suddenly came to visit and caused quite a bit of trouble for your manor. I hope elder madam will forgive me." Beautiful, dignified, and well-mannered, the matriarch nodded repeatedly, secretly praising Kang Yi for being a daughter raised by the imperial family. She really was different.
Kang Yi saluted then received something from a maidservant at her side and handed it to the matriarch, "Kang Yi received Lord Feng's invitation rather suddenly, and I did not have time to properly prepare a gift. Fortunately, I brought a handkerchief made from moon palace silk from Qian Zhou. I will gift it to elder madam. I hope elder madam will have a smooth year."
She placed the item in front of the matriarch. She originally thought that she would be able to see some surprise on the matriarch's face; however, who knew that not only was there no surprise, the matriarch's face that had been filled with smiles suddenly drooped …
