Feng Jin Yuan had been standing at Kang Yi's side since the moment she came out. In truth, in terms of appearance and status, the two were a very good match. Feng Jin Yuan's appearance was very good. Although he was nearing 40, he looked to be in his early 30s. In addition to this, he had the elegance of a scholar and the noble aura of being a prime minister for many years. To say that he was a handsome man would not be an exaggeration. But based on the appearance of the Shen Clan, how could they have given birth to such a beautiful daughter like Chen Yu.
Seeing his four daughters walk over, if it was said that Feng Jin Yuan did not feel proud, that would be nonsense. Although there was some estrangement between him and Feng Yu Heng, that was just his family's matter. How many people on the outside knew about it? To outsiders, the famous county princess Ji An was his second daughter, and the most beautiful woman in the capital, Feng Chen Yu, was his eldest daughter. This was something that was worthy of pride.
Moreover, just as the four children walked over, another person walked over from another direction. It was none other than Ru Jia, who had come with Kang Yi to the manor.
The excitement in Feng Jin Yuan's heart increased by a few degrees. Look! Now, even the princess of a foreign country had to call him father. Throughout the entirety of Da Shun, who could not be the imperial concubine of the main sect and still be able to marry the princess?
With this sort of joy, he helped Kang Yi sit down and prepared to accept the children's salute.
After the heavy snow stopped, the sky began to clear up. In the instant that the five girls kneeled, a ray of light happened to break through the clouds and shine down. Coincidentally or not, it happened to shine on the golden hairpin that Feng Yu Heng had inserted into her hair.
Kang Yi felt that it was a little dazzling and subconsciously furrowed her brow; however, before Feng Yu Heng's knees touched the ground, Feng Jin Yuan suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
Everyone was startled, including the guests that had been drinking at the banquet. They all stopped and looked in his direction. Kang Yi was puzzled and looked at Feng Jin Yuan in confusion; however, she saw Feng Jin Yuan suddenly stand up and practically stagger forward. At the last moment, he managed to stop Feng Yu Heng from kneeling.
At this time, except for Feng Yu Heng, the other four people had already knelt down. Ru Jia watched Feng Jin Yuan stop them and was very puzzled. She opened her mouth and asked: "Uncle Feng, what are you doing?"
Kang Yi quickly scolded her: "You have to call him father."
Ru Jia also knew that she had misspoken and repeatedly apologized, "It was Ru Jia who misspoke. I hope father will forgive me."
But how could Feng Jin Yuan worry about her. His attention was completely focused on the golden hairpin on Feng Yu Heng's head. The more he looked, the more shocked he was. The more he looked, the more panicked he felt.
Phoenix Hairpin! She was actually wearing a phoenix hairpin!
Fortunately, the sun had just come out. Fortunately, his eyes were sharp enough to see this thing. Otherwise, if Feng Yu Heng knelt in front of him while wearing the phoenix hairpin, would he still want his life?
There were quite a few people that recognized the phoenix hairpin, but there were definitely not many. For example, of the guests present today, aside from the princes, princes, imperial daughters and important officials of court, nobody else recognized it. The people still did not understand what exactly had happened to Lord Prime minister Feng. Why did he reveal such a shocked expression when looking at a golden hairpin on his own woman's head?
Ru Jia was even more confused. She simply stood up from the ground and looked at Feng Yu Heng's head. She was three years older than Feng Yu Heng, so she was naturally a little taller. With just a glance, she was able to clearly see the golden hairpin. Her eyes could not help but light up, as she rushed to say: "What a beautiful golden hairpin!" While saying this, she moved to touch it.
Feng Yu Heng coldly looked at her, as the corners of her lips curled up into a sly smile. She quietly said: "Your Highness, if you dare touch this thing, do you believe that your hand will be cut off."
"What did you say?" Ru Jia was so angry that she began laughing, "Isn't it just a broken hairpin. It is beautiful, but it is just a gold item. It can't even compare to jade. What is there to be proud of? This princess did touch it. What of it? "She did not believe in such a thing and reached out once more.
But she heard Kang Yi loudly shout from the other side: "Ru Jia! Stop! "
At practically the same time, Feng Chen Yu also screamed: "You can't!"
As for Feng Jin Yuan, he simply grabbed her wrist and stopped her hand in midair.
Ru Jia became furious!
"Let go! Father, although I am not your biological daughter, I am still Qian Zhou's princess. You can't treat me like this! To favor your biological daughter in front of so many people, what sort of position do you want to place mother and me in? "
While she was causing a ruckus, the matriarch, who had been sitting at the head of the table, had clearly seen what had happened, but she did not interject. Ru Jia had repeatedly said that she was Qian Zhou's princess. She had already entered the Feng manor, yet she still kept mentioning her family's identity. This was a problem that could not be tolerated. Could it be that the Feng manor would need to provide for her from this day forward?
"Hmph!" The matriarch lightly snorted and said to granny Zhao at her side: "A-Heng did well. Although the princess of a vassal country is only of the first rank, in Da Shun, she is comparable to a county princess of the second rank. This is called putting her in her place. Let her know that this is the Feng manor and not Qian Zhou."
Following Ru Jia's ruckus, Kang Yi also went forward. Taking Ru Jia's hand from Feng Jin Yuan's, she gently scolded her: "Don't speak nonsense. Dashun has many rules. Where is there a place for you to speak!"
Ru Jia was unsatisfied and said: "Father is biased!"
"When has your father ever been biased?" She was also extremely angry, "Whatever you want, he has given it to you. Which one of them has not gone along with you!"
Ru Jia glared, "Then what if I say that I want this hairpin? Will father give it to me? "
"That belongs to your younger sister. How will your father give it to her?" Kang Yi forcefully pinched Ru Jia's wrist, "If there is a reason for today's decision, listen to what your father has to say!"
Feng Jin Yuan quickly explained: "Ru Jia, this thing was bestowed by the emperor. You absolutely must not touch it!"
The words bestowed by the emperor made it clear how precious the item was. But Ru Jia still did not understand, "So what if it was bestowed by the emperor? Could it be that sisters can't even appraise it? "
Feng Yu Heng looked at her with a smile and nodded, "You can't."
"You …" She just knew that this county princess would speak to shut people down, but she never thought that it would be to this degree. Did this person truly understand the ways of the world? Speaking so directly, was she not afraid of offending people?
How could she know that Feng Yu Heng truly was not afraid of offending people, especially Ru Jia. Whether or not you shut her down, she was destined to stand on the opposite side. Since that was the case, what was the point of being polite!
Seeing that Ru Jia did not relent, even Xiang Rong, who was the most obedient, felt a little annoyed. She could not help but explain: "The thing that second sister is wearing is called the phoenix hairpin. It has always been a treasure worn by the empress of Dashun."
"Empress?" Ru Jia acted as though she had heard the funniest joke, "Isn't her fiance a cripple? I heard that he can't even give birth to a child. This sort of person can become the emperor? What sort of joke is this. "
Once these words came out, everyone present was stunned. It was as though the air had frozen, and some people even forgot to breathe. All that was left was fear.
Insulting Xuan Tianming in front of everyone? Was this princess of Qian Zhou tired of living? Although Xuan Tianming did not personally come today, apparently county princess Ji 'an's temper was the same as the Ninth Prince's!
While everyone was thinking, they saw county princess Ji 'an, who was wearing a refined cloud robe and a phoenix hairpin, suddenly raise her hand. Without another word, she slapped Ru Jia's face four times. Her speed was so fast that everyone could only hear the sound and not see the movement. Even eldest princess Kang Yi, who was standing at her side, did not have time to protect her. She just watched as her daughter was slapped four times.
Kang Yi was also stunned. What sort of day was today? Even if Ru Jia had said something wrong, there were still elders present. How could they allow Feng Yu Heng to act so arrogantly?
She wanted to protect her daughter and wanted to say something; however, she suddenly found that after the four slaps, Ru Jia's face had already swollen to the point that it looked like two steamed buns. Both sides of her lips were bleeding, and the blood flowed down her chin and down her neck.
She clearly did not feel that Feng Yu Heng had used much strength, but just four slaps had caused her daughter to become like this. She did not have time to think about who was right and who was wrong. There was only one question left in her mind: "Exactly how much strength does county princess Ji 'an have?"
How could she know that Feng Yu Heng was able to lift the Hou Yi bow that weighed 186 catties with one hand. Not only could she lift it, but she could also nock over ten arrows and shoot them at the same time. Hitting Kang Yi, even if it looked like she did not use any strength, it was enough to make her mouth and eyes slanted.
Ru Jia had been hit so hard that she could no longer speak. Her mouth was so swollen that she could not even open it. If it was not for a servant supporting her from behind, perhaps she would have already fallen to the ground.
But Feng Yu Heng clearly still had not vented her anger. Reaching into her sleeve, she pulled out a whip.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jin Yuan knew that something bad was about to happen. In fear, he quickly said: "You can't whip. You absolutely can't whip!"
However, his words had no effect. Feng Yu Heng hated two things the most. One was someone like the Chen family that tried to kill Zirui, and the other was someone viciously slandering Xuan Tianming.
Fuck, she was not afraid of being in opposition. If she fought with real swords and real spears, if she could beat Xuan Tianming to death, she could only blame herself for not being skilled enough. Yet this sort of long-tongued woman was the most disgusting. She did not have the slightest bit of ability. All she had was a mouth that deserved a slap. She did not even have a door to keep her mouth shut, yet she dared to say anything.
Did Ru Jia not have a long-tongued person? She dared to slap her until she could not even stick her tongue out!
If her skin was not tight, wouldn't she be cheap? She would whip her until her skin split open and her flesh became a bloody mess!
Once she received the whip, she threw it out with a "pa" sound. Nobody moved faster than her. In the blink of an eye, a bloody mark appeared on Ru Jia's arm. This was not the end.
Following this was a second lash, a third lash, a fourth lash … a total of eight lashes. Only when Ru Jia began to roll on the ground and Kang Yi began to cry did she stop. She then handed the whip to Huang Quan and coldly said: "Go clean this county princess. Save it for next time."
This round of whipping had practically caused everyone's souls to leave their bodies. Even if many people understood that county princess Ji 'an had the same temper as his Highness Prince Yu, there were still many people that had seen Xuan Tianming use his whip. There were few that had seen Feng Yu Heng flip out. Today's scene allowed everyone to see that county princess Ji 'an did not just have the same temper as his Highness Prince Yu. She was even fiercer than Prince Yu!
Seeing her finally stop, Kang Yi was finally able to rush over to Ru Jiagen and cry. But the daughter in front of her truly did not allow her to know what she should do. Her face was swollen like a pig's head, and her body was covered in blood. It was as though she had been skinned alive. Her thick winter clothes had been torn open, and the flesh underneath was exposed.
Even if she was a cool-headed and clever eldest princess that could support the ruler, at this moment, she had completely collapsed. Looking at Feng Yu Heng, it was as though she was looking at an enemy. Her eyes spat out a raging fire, and her fists were tightly clenched. Her entire being was like a leopard, ready to fight to the death with Feng Yu Heng.
However, she heard Feng Jin Yuan say with relief: "It's good, it's good. It's extremely fortunate!"
