Chen Yu felt her hair stand on end from being stared at. With a trembling voice, she asked: "What is it? Is there a problem with my mole? "
Her mole was not very obvious. It was just below her chin and on her neck. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it. Normally, she would use some makeup to cover it up, so she was able to cover it up. But today, she had forced her way out. Even if she had put on some simple makeup, how could she pay attention to such details. Who knew that it would be seen by someone else.
After Princess Kang Yi recovered from her surprise, she could not help but sigh: "This one does not know the rules of Dashun, and it is not good for me to speak carelessly, but in our Northern country, a mole on the chin is a symbol of wealth and power. There have been three generations of emperors that were born with a mole on the chin. But this mole has always been on men. This is the first time this one has seen a woman with a mole on the chin. "
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch were both stunned. They subconsciously looked at each other, as Feng Jin Yuan said: "She is my Feng family's eldest daughter. There is no need to speak of wealth."
Kang Yi, however, shook her head and said: "A girl's wealth does not lie with her maternal family. Rather, it lies with her husband's family. Eldest young miss Feng's wealth will not stop here. Her good fortune lies ahead. "
The words "good fortune lies ahead" caused the people of the Feng family to ponder. After a while, they heard Feng Jin Yuan order a servant: "Tomorrow, bring this prime minister's name card and invite imperial physician Liu Bing to take a look at eldest young miss' injury."
Chen Yu's eyes immediately began to tear up. Feng Jin Yuan wanted to invite an imperial physician to take a look at her injury, so she definitely would not be sent to the nunnery. She originally thought that she was at the end of her rope, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, there would be a glimmer of hope. She could not help but look at Kang Yi, who was sitting across from her. This woman kept saying this one, and she was truly confused.
Feng Jin Yuan quickly introduced her: "This is the eldest princess of Qian Zhou, princess Kang Yi. Next to her is princess Ru Jia, the eldest princess' daughter. "
Chen Yu was slightly startled. She had heard that Qian Zhou's special envoy had come to Dashun, but she did not think that it would be two princesses. But why had these two princesses come to the Feng manor?
She hastily stood up and bowed: "Chen Yu greets the two princesses. Just now, I was truly lacking in manners. I hope the princesses will forgive me." After all, they had spoken up for her and given her moon palace silk. Her bow was sincere.
Kang Yi hurriedly said: "Eldest Miss doesn't need to be so courteous. Today, this one has come to your residence as a guest. Let's not talk about these empty formalities."
Kang Yi's attitude was good, but Ru Jia, who was sitting at her side, felt that Chen Yu's forehead, which was missing a large chunk of flesh, was truly disgusting. She could not help but look away and say with dissatisfaction: "You're so heavily injured, yet you don't even wrap it up. Who are you trying to scare by putting it out there?"
Chen Yu was very embarrassed and raised her hand to block it. Xing 'er sadly replied for her: "Previously, it was wrapped, but the more it was covered, the more it began to rot. I could only open it."
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, but once she did, Ru Jia felt even more disgusted. Kang Yi saw that she was about to explode, so she quickly grabbed her daughter's hand and said with an amiable expression, "Who hasn't been hurt before? Thinking about how you injured your leg when you were a child and received a large gash, did anyone ever dislike you? Ru Jia, you must learn to respect others. Only then can others respect you. "
It had to be said that the Feng family's matriarch was initially a little dissatisfied with eldest princess Kang Yi because of the moon palace silk, but time and time again, her calm and proper performance, as well as her ability to distinguish right from wrong, truly caused the matriarch to change her opinion of her. Not to mention the matriarch, even An shi, Han shi and Jin Zhen believed that they had never seen a girl with such a bearing. They only felt that even the current Empress could not compare to this, right?
Only Feng Yu Heng's expression remained the same, as she watched the scene unfold before her as though she were watching a play. Aside from love, she never believed that there would be anyone in this world that would express goodwill to another person without reason, let alone a princess from a foreign country. Coming to the Feng family to act magnanimously always made people feel a little uneasy.
Ru Jia's face turned bright red from what she had said. When she looked at Chen Yu again, she felt a little guilty. Feng Jin Yuan took advantage of her guilt and quickly added: "Princess Ru Jia is being honest. Eldest princess, please do not blame her too much."
For some reason, Ru Jia was especially obedient to Feng Jin Yuan's words. She had looked down on his daughter, yet he had praised her instead. This made her feel very apologetic, as she bowed and sincerely said to Chen Yu: "Eldest young miss Feng, Ru Jia did not do it on purpose. Please do not get angry."
Feng Chen Yu's heart was moved. Although she was still very concerned, she found that the two princesses seemed to be expressing goodwill to the Feng family. She was puzzled, but she still followed along and said: "Princess, you absolutely must not say it like this. Chen Yu does not mind."
At this time, the matriarch spoke up, "Chen Yu! Although you also suffered a little injury, to be able to return safely, you really must thank your second sister. "
Chen Yu had originally forced out a smile because of the two princesses' goodwill, but it immediately became gloomy, as she suddenly glared at Feng Yu Heng. Her eyes seemed to be filled with knives, as she hated that she could not skin her alive.
Feng Yu Heng laughed when she saw this, "Eldest sister, what sort of expression is this? Although younger sister spoke up for elder sister in front of imperial concubine Xian, I did not ask for elder sister's thanks. There is no need for elder sister to be like this. "
The matriarch's face sank, as she scolded Chen Yu: "Do you know what's good for you? Committing such a serious crime, if it were not for your second sister, based on imperial concubine Xian's position in the palace, even if she beat you to death, our Feng family would not be able to say anything. Now that you have managed to survive, you do not know how to be grateful. What are you glaring at your younger sister for? "
Feng Jin Yuan also reminded her: "This time, you were indeed in the wrong. Quickly give thanks to Heng Heng."
Feng Chen Yu felt wronged, especially when she saw Feng Yu Heng's half-smile. She wanted to rush over and tear that mouth apart even more. She subconsciously looked towards Kang Yi. For some reason, just as she was feeling vexed and unable to swallow her anger, she actually wanted Kang Yi to come up with an idea. This sort of sudden feeling of dependence appeared in her heart. It was so natural.
Kang Yi also seemed to know what she was thinking. Upon seeing Chen Yu look towards her, she actually smiled at her then nodded, saying: "Hating evil is a natural disposition. Being magnanimous is a matter of temperament. Repaying kindness is even more important. This one trusts that eldest young miss has this sort of character."
Her voice was neither fast nor slow. It was neither loud nor restrained, and it sounded very comfortable. It was so comfortable that Chen Yu immediately calmed down. She then bowed to Feng Yu Heng and calmly said: "Many thanks second sister for pleading for leniency on my behalf in front of imperial concubine Xian. It was elder sister who made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Thank you younger sister for saving elder sister's life."
Feng Yu Heng had no choice but to admire Kang Yi. Could it be that Qian Zhou was too cold, so cold that their minds were extremely clear? Dashun had four distinct seasons, yet it had caused their minds to become mush?
"Eldest sister, there is no need to take it to heart." She smiled and personally helped Chen Yu up. Her gaze fell on the scar on her forehead. After looking for a while, she said: "Later on, I will find a box of ointment for elder sister to use."
When Feng Jin Yuan heard that she had finally said that she would help Chen Yu take a look, he could not help but feel happy. It had to be known that as long as Feng Yu Heng was willing to take action, she would be far more capable than the imperial physicians.
Chen Yu also became happy, and her feelings of gratitude became even more profound. But this gratitude was not for Feng Yu Heng. Instead, it was for eldest princess Kang Yi. She never thought that by having her admit defeat, not only did she give face to the matriarch and Feng Yu Heng, she also unexpectedly obtained medicine from Feng Yu Heng. This Feng Yu Heng was something that she looked down on, but her medical abilities were something that even Feng Chen Yu had to praise internally.
"Many thanks second sister." This word of thanks was filled with joy.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and returned to her seat. She did not say anything else.
Zirui sat at her side and did not make a sound. At this time, however, he could tell that his elder sister had something on her mind. The child thought quickly and suddenly stood up, saying to Zirui: "Father, yesterday, senior brother specifically advised Zirui to go play chess with him today. Zirui was thinking that the time was getting late, so he should go earlier and wait. If senior brother had to wait for Zirui, that would not be good."
"Huh?" Ru Jia was curious, "Is this also a child of the Feng family?"
Kang Yi's heart went "thunk," as she immediately realized her mistake. She had heard long ago that county princess Ji 'an had a young younger brother, but apparently, he had been away studying the entire time and had never returned home. Just now, this child had been hiding behind the crowd the entire time. Although she had seen him, she did not have a chance to ask if county princess Ji 'an's younger brother had returned. In addition to this, when she arrived at the palace banquet the previous day, Zirui had already gone to play with Xuan Feiyu. She did not see him at all!
Kang Yi would not admit that she was actually a little repulsed by boys. Now that Feng Zirui had spoken, she had no choice but to express herself, but how should she express herself? She did not have anything suitable on hand!
Just as she was feeling troubled, she heard Ru Jia say with dissatisfaction: "An important guest has come to your own home, yet you want to hide away and play chess with some senior brother. What sort of hospitality is this?"
Once these words were said, Feng Jin Yuan became a little anxious. He quickly gave Kang Yi a look to have Ru Jia stop speaking. The people of Qian Zhou did not know, but he knew that the senior brother that Feng Zirui had mentioned was none other than Emperor Dashun! As for the matter of playing chess, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the Emperor had mentioned it the previous day. He could not help but secretly blame himself for forgetting such an important matter.
Unfortunately, Kang Yi did not see his look at all. At this time, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to salvage the situation.
She didn't have time to think about it, but Ru Jia's words came one after another, "Really, no matter how immature a child is, there should still be an etiquette instructor to remind them. You're not that young anymore, so how can you still be so immature?"
Feng Zirui looked at Ru Jia in confusion then looked at Feng Jin Yuan, saying in confusion: "Father, is this really the princess of Qian Zhou? If she is, why would she speak like this? "
"What do you mean by these words?" Ru Jia lost it, "Is there any need for you to care about what I say? This princess is still puzzled. What sort of senior brother is he? Is he that important? Even more important than my mother? "
Zirui nodded, "Indeed."
"You …" Ru Jia was furious and turned to ask the matriarch: "Elder madam, what sort of words do the children in your family speak?" Just as she asked this, she immediately realized that something was off. Why did the Feng family's elder madam look at her like this? Why did everyone in the Feng family look at her as though she was an idiot?
