Pay respects to Consort Yun?
The palace maid thought that if they could really pay respects, she would not be in such a difficult situation. Imperial concubine, oh imperial concubine, you willfully left the palace; however, you never thought that His Ninth Highness and Princess Ji 'an would send a child to Winter Moon Palace, right? If this person was anyone else, it would be fine if Winter Moon Palace did not allow them to enter, but this child had to be Princess Ji 'an's younger brother. Also, it was His Ninth Highness that personally sent him over. Not only that, but he also said that they would not be allowed to leave before returning from Qian Zhou.
Heavens! The palace maid looked at the sky and sighed. Returning from Qian Zhou, that would be calculated by the year, right? Was this not just waiting for them to be exposed?
Feng Zirui saw that the palace maid's expression was constantly changing, and he was very puzzled. "You're not bringing me to see Consort Yun. What are you standing there in a daze for?"
Ying Cao was also quite puzzled, "Wasn't it said that the people in the palace were all very obedient? Why is it that they all look so lazy and strange? "The eunuch from earlier already did not look like a eunuch. Why was it that this palace maid did not seem like a palace maid? In the past, the slave master had told them that once she was bought, the person that bought her would be her sky. If her master was in danger, even if she had to risk her life, she had to block a blade for her master. Ying Cao had worked so hard to establish a relationship between master and servant; however, after entering the imperial palace, it began to collapse.
What exactly was a servant supposed to do? She was still young. In the past, aside from being scolded by the slave master, she had never interacted with anyone else.
For a moment, the three of them stood there and looked at each other. The atmosphere was a bit strange.
After a while, the palace maid was the first to react, telling Feng Zirui: "Imperial concubine is resting for now. Go pay respects tomorrow. This servant will arrange a room for young master to stay in. Is that alright?"
Feng Zirui raised his head to look at the sky, and a trace of doubt filled his heart. He had been smuggled out of the camp after noon. It was said that the hidden guard had sealed their sleeping acupoints. When he woke up, the sky was already dark. After a night's journey, they finally arrived in the capital at dawn. It was not even lunchtime yet. What kind of sleep was Consort Yun taking? Was this a return to sleep or an afternoon nap?
"Let's go!" The palace maid didn't want to explain further. She copied Zhang Yuan's actions and held the two children in her hands, walking all the way to the guest room.
Finally, Feng Zirui and Yingcao were sent to the guest room. The palace maid who had come to receive them told him, "The warm room inside is for the young master to sleep in, and the kang outside is for the maidservants. You can stay here for now." Then, with a bang, she closed the door.
Yingcao was so scared that she trembled. She carefully asked Zirui, "Young Master, are we being locked up?"
Zirui shook his head, "That's impossible. They only closed the door, but they didn't bolt it from the outside. As long as we reach out and push, the door will open. Moreover, do you know who Consort Yun is? " Seeing Yingcao shake her head, he continued, "She is my brother-in-law's mother. Yes, you've seen her before. She is the masked Ninth Prince. So, with her here, our safety is guaranteed. It's just that … "
"It's just what?" Yingcao was still a bit nervous. After all, this was her first time entering the palace. Although the eunuch and the palace maids didn't seem like servants, the natural majesty of the imperial palace was still there. It was like the might of the heavens pressing down on her little heart. It made Yingcao feel as if she had returned to the days when she was in the hands of a slave master.
Zirui walked around the guest room twice before saying, "It's just that if we want to leave, it will be a bit difficult."
Yingcao ran in front of him and quietly asked, "Young Master, do you still want to run?"
Zirui nodded, "Yes! Sister and the others didn't keep their word. They said they would take me to the North, but in the end, they used this method to send me back. I'm not a child anymore. How can I endure this kind of humiliation? I have to think of a way to leave the palace. If they won't take me to the North, I'll go by myself! "
"Why are you going by yourself? Young Master, you don't want Yingcao anymore? " She was a bit anxious, "I don't care. In any case, Yingcao will definitely follow little brother. Although I feel that staying in the palace is definitely very safe, if little brother wants to escape, then Yingcao will escape with you! Yingcao will block a knife for little brother! "
Zirui glanced at Yingcao and instantly understood why his sister and brother-in-law had to send him back. It was because he now had a desire to get rid of Yingcao. He felt that this girl would definitely be a burden.
The two children sat in the guest room and looked at each other. In the end, it was Zirui who made the decision, "Eat!"
"Young Miss, let's eat!" Huang Quan took the steamed buns from outside and threw them aside after glancing at them. He said with disdain, "Eat what we brought ourselves."
Feng Yu Heng nodded. Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly took the snacks that Huang Quan had already taken out from the bundle. Then, she stood up, "Let's send these to Young Master and Young Madam. This is what this servant should do. We have to put on a good show and not let anyone see through us. "As she spoke, she already walked out.
Huang Quan hurriedly followed. As soon as the two of them stepped out of the cabin door, they both looked like servants.
Feng Yu Heng held the snacks in her hands. Huang Quan raised his hand and knocked on Wang Chuan's cabin door, "This servant is here to deliver snacks to Young Master and Young Madam." As they spoke, a gust of wind blew by. The fragrance of the snacks was blown a distance away and instantly covered the unpleasant smell of the steamed buns.
It was just that the two never thought that these snacks would cause someone to become jealous.
Inside the private room, just as Wang Chuan said "come in," a voice came from the side. It was also a female voice, saying: "Hey! You two with the snacks, wait a moment! "
Feng Yu Heng and Huang Quan both turned their heads and saw a person walking toward them. It was a maidservant in a light blue dress with her hair tied into a bun; however, she had a proud expression. It was the maidservant of the magistrate from He Tian Prefecture. Behind the maid was the magistrate, who had a bitter expression on his face.
Huang Quan took a step forward and blocked Feng Yu Heng without leaving a trace. He then glared at the maidservant and impolitely said: "Who are you calling?"
The maidservant raised an eyebrow: "You are the ones with the snacks. Naturally, I'm calling you."
Huang Quan was someone at the prince's side. Even if he had been given to Feng Yu Heng, he was still someone at the imperial daughter's side. Even Feng Jin Yuan, who was the prime minister at the time, did not dare show him any displeasure. How could he endure the displeasure of a lowly magistrate's servant? She immediately became angry, "If you don't know how to speak properly, shut your mouth for this great auntie! Don't think that just because you're wearing a tattered embroidered dress that you're noble. You're not even wearing proper embroidery, yet you still have the nerve to flaunt it. If you want to be a maidservant, do your job properly. Remember your role well. If you don't want to be a maidservant, put in some more effort. Have your man have the ability to take you in. There's definitely no chance of becoming the main wife. In any case, you should be a concubine. It's not to the point of you coming out to flaunt without any status. It's fine if you don't have any face, but don't drag the man behind you down with you. "
Huang Quan began to rain curses on the maidservant, causing her to become dazed. It was not just her that was dazed. The magistrate that had come with her was also dazed. He immediately quivered. He had been an official for many years, so he still had the ability to make judgments. His maidservant was arrogant because she felt that he could support her. However, the arrogance of the maidservant in front of him did not seem to be the same as the one on his side. As a result, it could only mean one thing: the master in the private room had a great background.
Thinking of this, he quickly stepped forward and asked Huang Quan, "May I ask where the miss is from?"
Huang Quan rolled her eyes at him, "The capital."
The magistrate trembled and fiercely glared at his maidservant. Then he immediately apologized, "It's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. Please don't take offense."
The maidservant behind her also reacted. Although she was still somewhat unconvinced, she had no choice but to shut her mouth.
Normally, this matter would most likely be over, but Feng Yu Heng's thoughts changed. She opened her mouth and asked, "Why did you stop us for no reason? Is there something you need?"
The magistrate wanted to say that there was nothing, but the maidservant rushed to say, "The pastries in your hands are not bad. Our madam wants to eat some and wants to … buy some from you."
"Ah?" Huang Quan almost thought that she had misheard. How could there be someone this shameless?
Feng Yu Heng felt that this was a very good opportunity, so she quickly followed up, "We servants cannot make the decision on this matter. I ask the two of you to discuss it with my master!" After saying this, she did not wait for the magistrate to stop her. She reached out and pushed open the ship's door. Then she raised her voice and said, "Young master, young madam, there are two people outside who want to buy our pastries."
Once this was said, the magistrate could no longer avoid it. He could only brace himself and walk in with his maidservant. When he looked again, the two people inside were very young. He could not help but think that they were most likely the sons of some important officials in the capital, right?
Wang Chuan and Yuan Fei had already seen Feng Yu Heng secretly wink when she came in. The two of them immediately understood. They heard Wang Chuan say, "It's just some pastries. It's fine if you give them away. There's no need to talk about whether or not you want to buy them. However … "She looked at the magistrate," Giving some pastries is not a big deal, but you should at least let us know who the pastries are being given to. "
The magistrate did not wait for her to speak. The maidservant behind him said, "This is the magistrate of Hetian Prefecture, Lord Lu." In her heart, a standard sixth rank magistrate was not a small official. Moreover, Hetian Prefecture was the closest to the capital. It was more important than the other prefectures. The two people in front of her were so young. What kind of master could they be? They were most likely the sons of wealthy merchants. When they saw an official, they would immediately kneel.
What she did not know was that aside from the two of them, the other four people in the room were all with the emperor and princes. A mere magistrate was nothing in their eyes.
Wang Chuan smiled and glanced at Yuan Fei, "So it's the magistrate of Hetian Prefecture." Then she changed the topic and suddenly said, "Before we left, father said that the apricot wine that he buried twenty years ago is about to be opened. He wants us to hurry back before the new year."
When these words were said, Yuan Fei's heart immediately moved. He looked at the magistrate.
He was a shadow guard. Although much of his hostility was covered by his luxurious clothes, his aura was still there. This glance caused the magistrate's heart to turn cold. He broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he heard the young master in front of him say in a deep voice, "My father is Right Prime Minister Feng Qin."
