Feng Jin Yuan was not the only one that was puzzled by this. It was also something that Feng Yu Heng did not expect.
The Feng family was in the middle of a funeral, yet someone had come to deliver gifts. Her first reaction was: It shouldn't be that someone is deliberately causing trouble, right?
The group got out of the imperial carriage, and Wang Chuan looked at the servants that were still moving things out of the carriage. He said to Feng Yu Heng: "It seems to be someone from the Jing Palace."
"Jing Palace?" Feng Yu Heng was puzzled. What was wrong with the eldest prince in the middle of the night?
Just as she was thinking, the Feng manor's gatekeeper ran over. Immediately seeing Feng Jin Yuan, he could not help but loudly shout: "Master! You've finally returned! "
Feng Jin Yuan looked at the gatekeeper's appearance and was dazed. What was going on? A white cloth was tied around his waist, and a white cloth was tied around his head. He had a mournful expression, and he did not seem to be in the slightest.
He then looked up at the entrance and saw that the entrance was also wrapped in white cloth. There was also a funeral banner. This was clearly … a funeral.
Feng Jin Yuan's mind exploded with a "weng" sound, but when he looked at the gifts at the entrance, the confusion in his heart reached its peak. Just as he wanted to ask what was going on, he saw that the people that had come to deliver gifts had already surrounded Feng Yu Heng. One of the people that looked to be in charge said to Feng Yu Heng: "County princess, these servants have been waiting for you here for a long time. You've finally returned."
This person's voice was shrill, and it sounded as though he was pinching his throat. Feng Jin Yuan was startled and immediately realized that this person was a eunuch. Looking more carefully, was this not the head steward of the Jing Palace?
He quickly cupped his hands and said: "So head steward Liu has arrived. May I ask why head steward has come at this time?"
Eunuch Liu did not even look at Feng Jin Yuan. It was as though he had not heard what he had said. He only nodded and bowed to Feng Yu Heng, saying: "I originally wanted to send them to the county princess' manor, but I heard that you had not returned, so this servant wanted to wait outside."
Hearing this, Feng Yu Heng wanted to laugh. If you want to wait, just wait. Wait in front of the county princess' manor. What have you come to the Feng manor for? She clearly saw that the manor was in the middle of a funeral, yet the red satin was being carried out at the door. Wasn't this intentionally causing trouble for the Feng family?
But whether or not it was blocked was a matter for the Feng family. It was unrelated to her, especially when she saw Feng Jin Yuan suffer. Thus, she smiled and asked the eunuch: "Big brother, why did you send these things to this county princess?"
That eunuch's face was full of joy, and he was so happy that he almost jumped up, "County princess! Our concubine is pregnant! "
"Really?" Feng Yu Heng also began to laugh. After returning from the military camp, she had treated Xuan Tian Qi's illness. She had been waiting for this good news for a long time. Now that she heard that the palace's secondary princess was pregnant, she truly felt happy for the eldest prince.
Eunuch Liu nodded vigorously, his face full of smiles. "It's true! It's all true! Not only is the concubine pregnant, but the two new concubines are also pregnant. My lord was so happy that he was unable to sleep. He urged this servant to pick out the best things in the manor's storeroom and put them in a carriage to deliver to county princess! "
This good news caused Huang Quan and Wang Chuan to also become happy. Feng Yu Heng looked at the things on the ground and said with a smile: "Since it's eldest brother's good intentions, I will not refuse. It's too late today. I will find some time to go to the manor tomorrow and personally check the pulses of the three nobles who are pregnant."
Feng Yu Heng personally checking the pulses was a heavenly honor. Eunuch Liu immediately knelt and kowtowed to Feng Yu Heng. Wang Chuan quickly helped him up, and Feng Yu Heng ordered Huang Quan: "Have people bring the things into the county princess' manor."
Huang Quan waved his hand, and the Imperial Guards at the entrance of the county princess' manor ran over and quickly brought the gifts into the manor.
Feng Jin Yuan watched as the things that had been placed in front of the Feng manor's entrance were moved to Tong Sheng pavilion. His heart ached. If it were not for the fact that they had specifically said that they were for Feng Yu Heng, he really wanted to snatch them away. Especially since Eunuch Liu had said that he had picked out the best things in the manor's storeroom and put them in the carriage. What did the best things in the Jing Palace mean? Of the nine princes of the current court, only the eldest prince walked the path of business. Furthermore, he walked it with great success. Everyone knew that the eldest prince was the wealthiest of all the princes. Even if it was just a random item from his manor, it would be a treasure in the world. A treasure chosen from a treasure … Feng Jin Yuan was so envious that his eyes turned red. How good of a thing would that be!
Unfortunately, in this life, he was just a passing god of wealth. He even began to wonder if Eunuch Liu had done it on purpose. He had deliberately placed these things in front of the Feng manor to cause him to feel envious then take them away to make him angry.
He had truly become angry, as he kept his head down and did not make a sound. The gatekeeper that had been standing at his side a few times about to speak was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He truly could not understand why the matriarch's passing was such a big matter. How could his master act as though nothing had happened? Could it be that the second young miss still had not told him?
Finally, Feng Jin Yuan fell silent. The gatekeeper was preparing to tell Feng Jin Yuan about the manor's matters. Who knew that just as he opened his mouth and before he could speak, he saw a few more carriages come from the alley. They were also heading in the direction of the Feng manor.
The gatekeeper's brow furrowed slightly because he saw that although the carriages were not beautifully decorated, they definitely could not be considered plain. They were graceful and luxurious. At a glance, he could tell that the owners were not ordinary people.
Feng Jin Yuan and Feng Yu Heng also noticed the movement over there and looked over. At this time, they heard Eunuch Liu from the Jing Palace say: "Oh! It's imperial concubine Xian's gift of thanks! " He happily said to Feng Yu Heng: "This servant was still in the storeroom picking things for county princess when his Highness sent someone to the palace to report the good news."
Feng Yu Heng smiled. She knew that as the eldest son of the Emperor, he had not been able to have children for many years. Finally, he had a child at this age, and it was a secondary princess. Both of his concubines were pregnant. To imperial concubine Xian, this was the best gift. Coming to thank her while feeling happy was something that should be done.
Imperial concubine Xian had sent out four imperial carriages from the palace, and each carriage was fully loaded. The head palace maid that had followed her out of the palace was very affectionate when she saw Feng Yu Heng. The corners of her mouth were nearly raised to her ears, and her smile was definitely one that came from the bottom of her heart. Upon seeing that Eunuch Liu was also present, the two praised Feng Yu Heng once more.
At this time, Feng Jin Yuan finally understood. It turned out that the eldest prince, who had not had a child for many years, had been cured by Feng Yu Heng. This was a great merit!
He wanted to interject a few times, but he could not get a word in edgewise. A head palace maid and a head palace eunuch. Neither of them placed him in their eyes. They did not even look at him. Feng Jin Yuan was so depressed that he wanted to curse at them, but he could not afford to curse at a single one of the people that had made him angry. He did not dare curse at a single one of them.
Seeing that Tong Sheng pavilion's Imperial Guards had arrived in batches and were endlessly bringing good things into the manor, Feng Jin Yuan's eyes were about to pop out. Yet the palace maid that had come from the palace said to Feng Yu Heng: "Once the good news from the Jing Palace arrived, imperial concubine Xian quickly went to inform his Majesty and the Empress. Right now, his Majesty is also very happy. Thinking about it, he will send county princess a reward tomorrow!"
Feng Yu Heng quickly replied: "Imperial concubine is too courteous. Heng Heng is a doctor. My medical skills were originally meant to benefit the people of the world. I also call his Highness Prince Jing elder brother. Treating elder brother's illness and separating imperial concubine Xian is something that Heng Heng should do. Would aunty please thank imperial concubine on behalf of Heng Heng after returning to the palace. Heng Heng will also personally go to the palace to thank imperial concubine for her grace. "
"County princess is too courteous." The palace maid smiled brightly and repeatedly said nice things to Feng Yu Heng. The Imperial Guards continued to bring things into the manor. This continued for a full hour. After the things were brought in, the palace maid asked: "County princess, go back and see if there's anything else that you want. Imperial concubine said that his Highness the eldest prince is out all year round. He can bring in all sorts of nice things. If there's anything that you want, just go and tell him. Even if it's the moon in the sky, he can have his Highness the eldest prince pick it for you."
Feng Yu Heng let out a "pft" and began to laugh, "Aunty must be joking. Heng Heng has received all of these nice things, and she is already terrified. How could she possibly want anything else. It's enough, it's enough."
Once she said it was enough, Feng Jin Yuan felt that it was a pity. With great difficulty, he finally got a chance to speak, thus he quickly said: "The two of you have already arrived at the manor's entrance. Come in and have a cup of tea!" While saying this, he said to Feng Yu Heng: "Heng Heng, why don't you invite the guests in? How could you treat guests like this. "
The servant standing to the side heard this and felt his head swell. He quickly tugged at Feng Jin Yuan's sleeve and quietly said: "Master, it's already late. It's truly inconvenient."
Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, "Hah! How is it inconvenient? Invite the guests to Peony courtyard's main hall. It will not disturb the elder madam's rest. " After saying this, he said to the palace maid and eunuch: "Heng Heng is this official's daughter. Inviting the two of you into the manor for a cup of tea is something that this official should do."
He spoke as if it was natural. What servant wearing a mourning ribbon or a banner at the manor's entrance, he had already tossed those thoughts to the back of his mind. At this very moment, he was completely focused on thinking that as long as he could satisfy the two of them, he could go back and tell his master. Whether it was imperial concubine Xian or his Highness the eldest prince, they would all consider that he was Feng Yu Heng's father. Naturally, there would be no lack of benefits. Perhaps the one million taels that he owed Feng Yu Heng could be earned back in one go. When that time came, he could use the money to exchange for the deed, and he would no longer need to go to prison.
Thinking like this, he became even more determined to invite them into the manor. He even reached out and pulled the two into the manor, "Quickly come in and sit! Although it is already late, the Feng family has always been hospitable. If elder madam knows that the two of you have come to the manor, she will definitely get up to welcome you. "These words nearly scared the palace maid and eunuch to death.
Huang Quan and Wang Chuan both grinned from hearing this, and the servant had a bitter expression. There was truly nothing that he could do. He could only go and beg Feng Yu Heng: "Second young miss, please help! Don't allow master … to continue speaking nonsense! "
"Impudent!" Feng Jin Yuan became angry, "Impudent servant, who are you saying is speaking nonsense?"
The servant dropped to his knees with a "thump," as tears began to flow. Eunuch Liu of the Jing Palace looked at Feng Jin Yuan with an incredulous gaze. It was as though he was looking at a monster. The palace maids were the same. Glaring at the former prime minister, who had already been demoted to a fifth rank official, they began to wonder if there was something wrong with his head.
Feng Yu Heng shook her head and sighed, "It really is a waste of grandmother's care for father."
"County princess." The head palace maid helplessly said to her: "Perhaps Lord Feng has suffered a shock and is not thinking clearly. These servants will not argue with him." While saying this, she pulled out another banknote: "For the Feng family's funeral, it must be said that this gift would have been given to Lord Feng in the past. But imperial concubine Xian said that Lord Feng is currently only a fifth rank official. Although receiving our gift is no longer too appropriate, county princess will be given this gift. Therefore, this gift will be kept by county princess. Her Highness gave it to county princess because of county princess. "
Eunuch Liu also handed over a banknote. Feng Jin Yuan looked at the two banknotes and saw that one million taels were clearly written on them. A metallic taste surged up his throat …
