When Feng Yu Heng walked out of the bedroom, she discovered that it was already dark outside. She had actually slept for an entire day!
She couldn't help but rub her forehead and complain to Xuan Tianming in a low voice: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Xuan Tianming told her: "It's useless to wake up early. Mufei won't wake up until it's dark."
Feng Yu Heng was a bit nervous. Xuan Tianming, this bastard, was sleeping on the same bed as her. She didn't think much of it, but Consort Yun wouldn't think nothing of it, right? She glanced at the palace maid who led the way. Humph, look! This girl's eyes were filled with an ambiguous aura. It was really embarrassing.
She fiercely glared at Xuan Tianming and angrily followed him to the main hall.
When they arrived, Consort Yun was listening to a group of palace maids gossiping in the main hall. The content of the gossip was: "His Highness must have been ruthless. County Princess Ji 'an screamed so loudly!"
"It seemed like she was crying."
"When this servant was cleaning up the bathroom, the floor was filled with water and there was nowhere to stand. The few buckets of hot and cold water that were prepared were all used up and the clothes were all over the floor. "
"However, the clothes seemed to be His Highness's. It should have been done by the county princess herself."
Consort Yun was happy: "This little girl has a strong temperament. Good job!"
Feng Yu Heng happened to hear this as she walked in and almost tripped over the threshold.
Strong temperament! Was this the right way to use this word? It was the wrong way to use it!
Seeing the two of them come in, Consort Yun giggled for a while. Then she dismissed the servants and waved at them: "Come here."
Feng Yu Heng pushed Xuan Tianming forward and bowed. Consort Yun pointed to a chair on the side for her to sit down. Immediately, a palace maid brought tea.
She looked at the tea, and for some unknown reason, she casually asked, "Why didn't Imperial Mother make me a bowl of red date water to drink?"
Consort Yun smiled and said, "You're only thirteen. If this brat dares to do anything to you, then he's a beast."
Xuan Tianming was speechless.
Feng Yu Heng began to ponder. What was the saying in her previous life? If you do something, you're a beast. But if you don't do it, you're worse than a beast.
She tried so hard to hold back her laughter that she almost suffered internal injuries.
Fortunately, a palace servant soon brought food into the hall. She only felt hungry after smelling the aroma. Thinking about it, he hadn't eaten for a day and a night. It would be strange if he wasn't hungry.
The palace was particular about not talking while eating, but Winter Moon Palace didn't seem to have such a rule. Consort Yun had always lived a carefree life. In her eyes, there were no rules at all. There were many rules in the imperial palace, so she simply locked herself in Winter Moon Palace. Outsiders could enter, but they had to be pleasing to the eye and have her permission. Otherwise, even if it was the emperor, he could only obediently stand outside the palace gates and watch.
That was why this meal was not dull in the slightest, as Imperial Concubine Yun elegantly drank the black chicken soup while faintly saying: "Thinking back to when This One first entered the palace, that beast's imperial concubine mother found me to be an eyesore and chose a time when the old man was not around to give This One 13 lashes. Afterwards, it was your maternal grandfather who prescribed a skin changing prescription. ben gong soaked in that medicine seven by seven forty-nine times and finally got rid of all the scars on my body. "
Consort Yun's words seemed to be casually said, but the pain that suddenly flashed through her eyes didn't escape the other two's eyes.
Xuan Tianming softly comforted her, causing Consort Yun to laugh again. "It's fine. It's been so many years. That woman was also beaten to death by the old man. Ben gong doesn't have anything to hate. I just feel that Heng Zheng's lashes were good. Some people's skin is too tight, so it needs to be loosened. "
The mother and son chatted casually, but Feng Yu Heng was thinking about the skin changing prescription that Consort Yun mentioned.
Her maternal grandfather that she had never met before, the legendary godly doctor Yao Xian, could actually make that kind of prescription?
She thought for a while and felt that the so-called skin changing was just an exaggeration that the ancient people gave. It wasn't that skin changing was impossible. In the twenty-first century, skin changing was called skin grafting. It was just that it wasn't as miraculous as people thought. As for the scars that Consort Yun said were completely gone, Feng Yu Heng thought that it should be because Yao Xian had a medicine that could forcefully remove scars. That sort of medicine wasn't considered miraculous. She actually had it in her space, and it wasn't that painful to use, nor did it need to be that complicated.
As she was thinking this, she heard Consort Yun say: "Heng Zheng, this One must remind you. That vile spawn's mother's family should have heard about this very quickly. Although Ming and Hua-er have already sent people to stop them, this sort of thing can't be stopped. Counting the days, in another month, they should be coming to the capital. "
Feng Yu Heng was stunned. This was the first time that she had heard about Consort Yun's mother; however, she never thought that there would be a family that even Consort Yun was interested in.
She pondered for a while then asked: "Did Heng Heng cause trouble for his Highness?"
Consort Yun shrugged and smiled, "Trouble has indeed been caused, but his Highness shouldn't be afraid."
She was puzzled: "What sort of person is the third prince's mother's family?"
Xuan Tianming told her: "His maternal grandfather was the leader of the three northern provinces. Dashun's three northern provinces didn't exist when the capital was built. Instead, after Taizong ascended to the throne, General Sui Yuan fought for six years to obtain them. Thinking about it, although there have been five generations of Dashun emperors, the majority of the people in the North are of Qian Zhou blood. Although they admit that they are Dashun people, they still believe that they have Qian Zhou blood flowing through their veins. Over the years, the relationship between Dashun and Qian Zhou has been strained. Even if the other side occasionally provokes them, Dashun has not sent out troops to suppress them. This is for the sake of not upsetting the people in the North. "
Feng Yu Heng listened while analyzing: "I have seen a map of Dashun's territory. Although the North only has three provinces, those three provinces occupy a large area. If we calculate based on the area of the central plains, that area is enough to split into seven provinces."
"That's right." Xuan Tianming nodded, "With a large area, there will be many people. Once there comes a day when the people are in chaos, it definitely won't be a good thing for Dashun."
"That's right!" She sighed, "If there is this history, the people of Dashun in the North can be considered descendants of Qian Zhou. Once Dashun and Qian Zhou have a falling out, I fear …"
"I fear that the people in the North will be angered."
"Then why did you urge me to ask father Emperor for Qian Zhou?" Feng Yu Heng's eyes became round, "When you said that to father Emperor this morning, I felt uncertain. Qian Zhou is indeed hateful, but we can't fight a battle that we haven't prepared for. In the past, I did not know that the people of the North had this sort of history. Otherwise, I would not have messed around with you. "
Consort Yun understood what was going on and asked Xuan Tianming: "What did you ask the old man for?"
Xuan Tianming waved his hand, "It's nothing much. He punished Heng Heng to kneel for no reason. Shouldn't there be some compensation? I just said that since we don't like Qian Zhou, we will have to fight sooner or later. After we win, we can just give that crappy country to Heng Heng as a dowry! "
Consort Yun laughed, "That's a very good idea."
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed. Did the two of you not feel that this matter was too big?
She reminded Xuan Tianming: "I beat the third prince to this degree. His maternal family will definitely seek revenge. The three northern provinces are very far from the central region. To say something disrespectful, isn't the leader of that place the same as a local tyrant? It's hard to guarantee that they won't cause trouble for us in the future. That's why the matter of attacking Qian Zhou needs to be considered at length. "
"It definitely needs to be considered at length." Xuan Tianming said, "At the very least, this matter will need to wait until your refined steel has been produced and put into use in the military. This is the first step. After this step is completed, we can slowly think about what to do next."
Consort Yun comforted Feng Yu Heng: "Don't think too much about it. So what if it's the leader of the three northern provinces? Don't you feel that the old man doesn't really care? " She had always called Tianwu old man. It sounded disrespectful, but Feng Yu Heng could see that when Consort Yun mentioned that person, there was a bit of warmth in her eyes.
Thus she nodded and said: "Indeed, if father Emperor cared, he would not have not punished me after beating him to such a degree."
Consort Yun raised her cup of wine and took a sip, saying with a smile: "That's why I said that this face will be flipped over sooner or later. Including that Qian Zhou, don't think that nobody knows what sort of shady things have been done over the years!" As she said this, she turned her gaze towards Xuan Tianming's leg, and a surge of hatred appeared in her eyes.
This meal lasted until very late. When Feng Yu Heng pushed Xuan Tianming out of Winter Moon Palace, the palace maid that had sent them out said to her: "This servant has something to say. Would county princess please not blame this servant for speaking out of turn."
She stopped and looked at the palace maid, saying: "Aunty is an elder that has taken care of imperial concubine mother for many years. If you have something to say, just say it. I will listen."
The palace maid repeatedly said that she did not dare then said: "This servant just wanted to say, would county princess please come into the palace to visit our imperial concubine more often when you are free. Imperial concubine living alone in Winter Moon Palace is actually quite depressing; it's just that she never says it. But this servant has been at imperial concubine's side for 15 years and can see that imperial concubine likes county princess. Every time that you come, she is happier than when she sees his Highnesses. There are also those new things that you send. Imperial concubine can fiddle with them for at least half a month each time. This servant is also worried about imperial concubine. Would county princess please come over a few more times. "
These words caused Feng Yu Heng to feel a bit choked up. Consort Yun's carefree appearance was actually very confusing. It caused people to not know if she was happy, angry, sad or happy. She had come over a few times. Although she could see that Consort Yun would be happy to see her, she did not think that the things she sent would be played with for so long.
Feng Yu Heng sniffled and said to the palace maid: "Heng Heng will remember. Many thanks for aunty's reminder. In the future, Heng Heng will definitely come to Winter Moon Palace often."
The palace maid gratefully sent the two of them out. She boarded Xuan Tianming's imperial carriage and had him personally send her to the county princess's manor.
Xuan Tianming saw that she was not in a good mood and knew that she was thinking about what had just happened. Thus, he took the initiative to say: "You don't have to take it to heart. The path that she chose was chosen by herself. Gu Ji also knew about it a long time ago. After all these years, she's already used to it. "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "Words can't be said like that. In the end, I am her future daughter-in-law. Some filial piety should be done by me."
"A daughter-in-law should do filial piety after we get married."
"I did it in advance. Can't I just treat it as pleasing her?" She raised her small face and smiled, "In the future, I will often come to the palace. There are many new things. I also have the medicine that mufei talked about to change the skin. Moreover, it's better than what she used before. There's no need to suffer so much."
Xuan Tianming's mouth twitched. His gaze unconsciously moved to her sleeve. Feng Yu Heng sheepishly pulled back her sleeves. In regards to his curiosity, she did not want to give any explanation; however, she furrowed her brow and said to him: "In truth, regarding mother being poisoned by spirit-altering drug, there was a detail that I overlooked …"
