Kang Yi was immediately dazed and turned to look at Feng Jin Yuan, "What did you say?"
Feng Jin Yuan repeated himself, "Fortunately, it was Mr. Heng that took action. Fortunately, his Highness Prince Yu was not present today. Otherwise, how could Ru Jia have survived!"
Feng Jin Yuan was not the only one that felt fortunate. Even Fen Dai had a pale face and could not stop saying: "If that devil was present, today's joyous occasion would have become a funeral."
The matriarch had also walked over. Seeing this scene, she angrily sighed and stomped her foot.
Upon seeing the matriarch come over, Kang Yi acted as though she had found a pillar of support. Hugging the matriarch's leg, she cried: "Mother, Ru Jia is so pitiful!"
Her original intention was to receive some sympathy from the matriarch, but how could the matriarch feel any sympathy for the mother and daughter. At this moment, she hated that she could not strangle Kang Yi to death, "Sinful! Sinful! " While saying this, she pointed at Ru Jia and questioned Kang Yi: "Do you know what sort of disaster your daughter will bring to my Feng manor? Do you know what sort of consequences there will be for insulting His Ninth Highness in Dashun? "
Fen Dai subconsciously felt her arm. She still remembered the time when she had been slapped by Xuan Tianming. She still remembered the time when she had been tricked by Xuan Tianming into falling into Tong Sheng pavilion's lake. The instant the lake water surged up, she felt suffocated. It was truly something that she would never forget.
She muttered to herself, but it also seemed as though she was reminding Kang Yi: "In Dashun, insulting the Ninth Prince is even more frightening than insulting the Emperor."
Kang Yi's entire body instantly became ice-cold. It seemed that she had recalled something. At this time, Feng Jin Yuan also came forward and placed his hands on her shoulders. Using a very helpless and slightly fearful voice, he said to her: "Think carefully. Is His Ninth Highness someone that you can casually offend?"
Kang Yi was previously stunned by Feng Yu Heng's sudden attack and completely forgot to think. Now that she was reminded by everyone, she immediately remembered that before she came to Dashun, there was a secret report about His Ninth Highness.
According to the secret line, this person was born of Consort Yun, Emperor Dashun's favorite, and had been doted on by the Emperor since he was young. He was brave and good at fighting, but he was also completely unreasonable. His temperament was unpredictable, and he was willful and reckless. There was no reason to reason with him. He did whatever he wanted to do. He even dared to whip a favored concubine to death in front of the Emperor, but the Emperor did not blame him.
She also recalled that on the first day of the new year, although she did not see it with her own eyes, she had heard the palace servants say that while the Empress was speaking, His Ninth Highness suddenly broke the table in front of the third prince. The third prince immediately became furious. As a result, the Emperor and the Empress both sided with His Ninth Highness. In the end, the third prince was even accused of being immature by the Empress. Later on, someone said that the Ninth Prince's attack was completely for the sake of venting anger for county princess Ji 'an because the third prince had argued with her before the banquet.
For this sort of person, Ru Jia had cursed him today, and she had cursed him in front of Feng Yu Heng. It was no wonder, no wonder Feng Jin Yuan said that it was fortunate. If the ninth prince was present today …
Kang Yi truly did not dare to continue thinking. In this world of ice and snow, she was actually covered in sweat.
"It's a joyous day. What sort of play is this?" The third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, suddenly raised his voice, "Prime minister Feng, why have you not quickly sent someone to bring Princess Ru Jia back to her courtyard. Then send someone to call for an imperial physician. Today, the Feng manor is celebrating a joyous occasion. We must not interfere. " While saying this, he said to the guests present: "Let's not get involved in the quarrel between the young daughters of the family. Come, drink."
Xuan Tian Ye was helping them out. Feng Jin Yuan felt grateful and quickly ordered the servants to bring Ru Jia back.
But Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow and raised her voice even louder than Xuan Tian Ye's, saying: "Eldest brother! The foreign princess insulted my prince Dashun. What sort of crime is that? "
This shout nearly took Kang Yi's life. She nearly wanted to kneel before Feng Yu Heng. Originally, the third prince's interruption had already allowed the matter to pass, but why was she still unwilling to let it go?
Not only was Feng Yu Heng unwilling to let it go, but the eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi, also felt that this matter should not be let go. Hearing Feng Yu Heng ask him, he took a few steps forward and stood in front of everyone in the Feng family. Looking at Ru Jia and Kang Yi, he finally said to Feng Jin Yuan: "The foreign princess insulted my prince Dashun. That is treason."
Feng Jin Yuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Kang Yi's legs gave out, and she could no longer stand. Swaying a few times, she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, a palace maid at her side supported her, quietly reminding her: "Eldest princess, you must not panic. You must save the princess!"
Kang Yi was originally a person with an extraordinary bearing. Normally speaking, it was very difficult for anything to cause her to collapse. But in the end, she was still a mother. In this world, there was not a single mother that could personally see her daughter being beaten to such a state. But the palace maid was right. She could not panic. She had to save Ru Jia.
Thus she calmed herself down and took the initiative to say: "Your Highness the eldest prince, the crime of treason is something that we truly cannot bear! Whether it's Kang Yi or Ru Jia, we are all just girls. It is normal for the daughters of the inner courtyards to quarrel. I hope that your Highness the eldest prince can forgive us. "
She tried to bring the matter to a fight between the inner courtyards to have these men shut up. But Xuan Tian Qi shook his head and said: "I have never heard of any inner courtyard quarreling and insulting a prince. We are all sons born of father Emperor. If there are any mistakes, father Emperor and mother Empress will naturally punish us. Even imperial concubine mother must take into account the face of the princes and cannot punish us severely. However, who knew that the Ninth Brother that father Emperor dotes on the most would be insulted so harshly by a foreign princess. It really is infuriating. "
While Xuan Tian Qi spoke, his gaze gradually became cold. This caused Kang Yi's heart to feel cold.
The third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, furrowed his brow and said: "Eldest brother, today is Prime minister Feng's joyous occasion. Forget about it!" Saying this, he looked at the guests present and asked: "What do you all say, isn't that right?"
It had to be said that if he had asked this in the past, he would definitely have received the support of everyone without exception. But ever since the Emperor's fondness for the eldest prince became more and more apparent, the wind in court had changed. The people would no longer follow Xuan Tian Ye. When this question was asked, there was actually not a single person that replied. It was truly awkward.
Feng Yu Heng coldly looked at Xuan Tian Ye, giving him a free glare.
Kang Yi changed her strategy and changed her words: "Ru Jia lost her father from a young age. Her uncle emperor loves her dearly and has spoiled her from a young age. It's inevitable that her personality would become a bit spoiled. This is also her first time coming to Dashun. She still does not understand the rules of Dashun. Would your Highness the eldest prince give her a chance. Kang Yi will definitely ask a granny to properly teach her. "
"Is that so?" Xuan Tian Qi said thoughtfully: "Speaking like this, princess Ru Jia is also a pitiful person."
Hearing that there was a chance, Kang Yi quickly said: "Would your Highness the eldest prince please be at ease. Ru Jia will definitely properly learn the rules of Dashun. After she has learned them well, Kang Yi will personally bring her to the Imperial Palace Yu to beg for forgiveness."
Once these words came out, the members of the Feng family trembled once more. Feng Jin Yuan quietly said: "There's no need to beg for forgiveness."
Kang Yi was puzzled and looked at him, as the matriarch said: "Do you still want to go to the Imperial Palace Yu to be whipped?"
Chen Yu also repeatedly advised her: "Let bygones be bygones. Mother, you absolutely must not remind Prince Yu."
Feng Yu Heng glanced at Kang Yi and pondered, saying: "Ru Jia does not understand the rules of Dashun and lacks discipline …"
Xuan Tian Qi immediately understood what Feng Yu Heng meant and said: "Since that's the case, after today's banquet, I will personally send princess Ru Jia into the palace to be personally taught by the palace's grannies." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Then it's decided! Today is Prime minister Feng's wedding. We absolutely must not ruin the banquet because of this matter. "
With his decision made, the guests all nodded in praise. Compared to the cold expression that Xuan Tian Ye had received earlier, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Kang Yi's expression became even uglier. She had been born in the imperial family and had grown up in the imperial family. She naturally understood what sending her daughter to the palace meant. Even if she did not die, she would lose a layer of skin!
She asked Feng Jin Yuan for help; however, she saw Feng Jin Yuan slightly shake his head, expressing that there was nothing he could do.
Her heart gradually became cold.
Xuan Tian Qi spoke, and the matriarch was the first to respond, quickly ordering the servants: "Quickly bring princess Ru Jia back to Jin Fu courtyard. Send someone to call for an imperial physician. Then change her into a clean set of clothes. After the banquet has concluded, she will be sent to the palace with his Highness the eldest prince."
The Feng family's servants quickly went forward and carried Ru Jia in a fluster.
Kang Yi was no longer in the mood to remain in the front yard. Supported by a palace maid, she also returned.
She really wanted to go and see Ru Jia, but a servant from Tian Xiang courtyard said: "Today, princess is the bride. After seeing the guests, she will need to return to her bed. She must not go to another courtyard. This is the rule."
Kang Yi looked up and saw that it was a servant around 17 or 18 years old. She remembered that she had seen this servant in the matriarch's courtyard before. Thinking about it, the matriarch had placed her at her side.
She also understood this rule, thus she did not say anything. She allowed the servant to help her into the room and sit down on the side of the bed.
The servant took the initiative to introduce herself: "This servant is Xia Chan. In the past, I took care of Shu Ya courtyard. Elder madam said that eldest princess had just entered the manor and should have an elder at your side to take care of you. Only then was this servant sent over. From this day forward, this servant will be following eldest princess. If there is anything wrong with this servant, would eldest princess please instruct and punish me."
This Xia Chan was very clever. When she spoke, she had a smile on her face that people could not refuse. Even if Kang Yi was unhappy, it was not good for her to show it in front of this smile. Moreover, she had just married today. Ru Jia's matter was already set in stone. No matter what, she could not make any more mistakes.
Thus she also smiled and said: "Xia Chan, what a beautiful name. I've let you see a joke in the front yard. It's all this one's fault … … it's all my fault for not teaching my daughter properly. When Ru Jia comes back from the palace, I will need you to take care of her. "While saying this, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Xia Chan's wrist.
Although Xia Chan was pleasantly surprised, she was used to taking care of the matriarch. A jade bracelet would not cause her to lose her position. Thus, she thanked her while saying: "Madam, don't worry. The young miss will quickly come out of the palace." While she said this, she changed the way she addressed Kang Yi to madam and Ru Jia to young miss. This allowed Kang Yi's heart to feel much better. "Madam, please sit for a while. Right now, you still cannot eat. In a while, elder madam will definitely come over. The concubine mothers and young misses should also be able to come. This servant will go prepare some tea."
While Tian Xiang courtyard was busy, the banquet in the Feng manor's front yard became lively once more. Ru Jia's matter did not affect the atmosphere in the slightest; however, the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, held a cup of wine and walked over to Feng Yu Heng's side.
