The announcement that Princess Lian had returned shocked everyone in the courtyard.
Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng were shocked, while City Lord Wu was furious.
He strode forward and pointed at the so-called Princess Lian who was crossing the threshold, saying: "Take her away for me! Quickly take her away! "
The woman looked at him in shock, looking confused. She raised her voice and asked: "Father, why are you chasing me out? His Highness Prince Lian sympathized with this daughter for not being filial to my parents for a long time and allowed this daughter to return home to visit. Father, why are you chasing me out? "
The servant girl supporting her had a small expression on her face, as if she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
City Lord Wu stomped his feet in anger: "A bunch of nonsense! Don't go crazy and quickly return to the manor. Don't embarrass me here! "
"Father!" The woman was also a bit angry, "I am one of His Highness Prince Lian's people. You can't be this rude to me!" After saying this, her tone immediately softened. She quickly walked in front of the City Lord and coaxed: "Father must be blaming this daughter for leaving home for too long and not coming back to see you. Don't be angry, okay? Isn't this daughter back now! I even brought back many gifts for you and mother. They were all chosen by His Highness Prince Lian and this daughter. " As she spoke, she turned around and said to the servants outside: "Quickly bring in the gifts that His Highness brought for father! Be careful, if you break them I'll cut off your heads. "
City Lord Wu stood there with a dark expression, his eyes staring outside. He saw the servants bring in basket after basket of things. Upon closer inspection, the baskets were filled with snow and even ice. His expression became even uglier.
Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming also looked at each other in dismay. Bai Ze was also stunned. He stared blankly at the red clothed woman as she pointed at the baskets of snow and said: "His Highness Prince Lian has heard that father is usually frugal and has never eaten vegetables in his life. These are the vegetables that His Highness asked someone to buy from Guan Zhou. They were sent here at top speed. Later, I'll have the kitchen cook them. Father, please try them. "
The woman's face was full of pride as she spoke. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with pointing at the snow and calling it a vegetable. Her phoenix coronet made a crisp sound as it moved, making her look very beautiful.
City Lord Wu raised his hand and wiped his face. Then, he gently patted the woman's arm and said as if he was coaxing a child, "Alright, father knows your … your husband's intentions. I will accept these. You can go back now!"
"Return?" The woman raised her voice. "Return what? Father, have you gone senile? Your daughter came all the way from the capital to see you. I walked for more than a month and just entered Bin City today. Why are you chasing me away as soon as I enter? No way! "As she spoke, she pushed City Lord Wu away and walked inside, minding her own business. As she walked, she said:" Where's mother? Did she make her father angry again in the manor? Was that why Father was so unhappy? Don't worry, now that your daughter has returned, I will definitely seek justice for my father. You … eh? " She finally saw the extra group of people in the courtyard. Xuan Tianming, Feng Yu Heng, Bai Ze, and two other accompanying soldiers. The woman stopped and looked at them strangely. She tilted her head as if she was thinking very seriously. Not long after, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I know who you are! Dashun's Ninth Prince and Princess Ji An, right? "
Feng Yu Heng smiled amiably at her, "You recognize us?"
When City Lord Wu saw that she was talking to them again, he hurriedly went forward to stop her. However, Xuan Tianming raised his hand to stop him, only saying: "It's fine."
Then, he heard the woman say: "Of course I recognize you. These past few days, I've heard the commoners on the streets mention that Dashun's Ninth Prince entered Bin City. He wore a golden mask on his face and looked very dignified. They also said that Princess Ji An has great medical skills and is very beautiful. " While she spoke, she looked at the two. After a while, she covered her mouth and laughed: "He is indeed beautiful and dignified, but compared to his Highness Prince Lian, he is still lacking by a bit. If I say it like this, you won't mind, right? "
Xuan Tianming shook his head and did not speak. Feng Yu Heng then said: "Young miss Wu, you just said that you just entered the city today. Why are you now saying that you heard rumors in the city over the past few days?"
With her asking this, the woman in red was stumped. She just froze in place and furrowed her brow. She repeatedly tapped her head and said in confusion: "Is that so? Did I say that I just entered the city today? That's right, I entered the city today, but where did I hear those rumors from? " After thinking for a while, she still could not figure it out. She was quite carefree and simply gave up on thinking about it. She then smiled and said to Feng Yu Heng: "My memory isn't very good. You also know that it's cold in Qian Zhou. Perhaps my brain was frozen. Are you my father's guests? Don't be in such a rush to leave. I just returned to my maternal home today and happened to run into the two of you. This can be considered fate. Speaking of, my husband is a prince of Qian Zhou. His Ninth Highness is a prince of Dashun. They can be considered of similar rank. If there isn't anything urgent, just stay and allow me to act as a host! "
Xuan Tianming looked at Feng Yu Heng with an amused expression. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: You have the final say.
Feng Yu Heng thought for a bit then nodded and said: "Alright, then I will listen to young miss Wu."
The woman in red happily smiled and tugged at Feng Yu Heng's hand, saying: "Imperial daughter should call me princess and not young miss Wu. But that's fine. Right now, we are not in the palace, nor are we in the capital. We might as well call each other friends. You can just call me by my name. My name is Wu Li Sheng. "
"Li Sheng." Feng Yu Heng pondered, "The sound of the first lunar month. Thinking about it, princess … thinking about it, princess was born in the first lunar month."
"You guessed correctly." Li Sheng said, "My birth mother named it. She loves playing the sheng." As she spoke, she turned around and said to the servants with a serious expression: "Quickly bring these vegetables to the kitchen. Have the chef cook a few dishes. I need to entertain His Ninth Highness and Princess Ji 'an." After saying this, she turned to a maidservant and ordered: "Go tell fifth concubine mother to tidy up. We will eat together later." After giving the order, she grabbed Feng Yu Heng's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go sit in the ice flower hall. "
Feng Yu Heng was pulled along a small path. City lord Wu had a helpless expression as he walked over to Xuan Tianming's side. Gesturing for them to enter, he sighed and said: "Your Highness, please! The ice flower hall is where the city lord's manor holds banquets. It has some scenery. " As he spoke, he looked at the red-clothed woman walking in front and helplessly said: "I've let Your Highness see a joke."
Only then did Xuan Tian Ming have a chance to ask: "Princess Lian?"
City lord Wu hurriedly waved his hand: "What Princess Lian? It's just her own fantasy."
As he spoke, Li Sheng's voice was heard again. It was clear and melodious as she said to Feng Yu Heng: "Actually, the north also has its good points. The people here are straightforward and don't have any tricks up their sleeves. Just like me. Although I am an imperial princess, my airs are only for outsiders to see. Once I return to my maternal family, I am still my father's daughter. It's fine if I don't follow those broken rules. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's good. This princess also doesn't like to put on airs. That's right, where is His Highness Prince Lian? Did he not accompany princess to the guest city? "
"I already said that you can just call me Li Sheng." She told Feng Yu Heng: "You Dashun people fight whenever you want. Right now, the imperial family is in chaos and everyone is worried about this battle. However, my husband doesn't like fighting. He went to Song Zhou a few days ago and should be back soon. "
"Oh." Feng Yu Heng pretended to be very interested, "How many years has it been since Li Sheng and His Highness Prince Lian got married?"
Li Sheng was stunned and confusion appeared in her eyes. She seriously thought for a while, but she still couldn't remember. Helpless, she could only ask city lord Wu for help: "Father, when did daughter get married?"
City lord Wu's face was dark and unwilling to answer, but Li Sheng was unreconciled. She ran back a few steps and asked: "When did daughter get married? You know that my brain sometimes doesn't work well. Father, just tell daughter. Otherwise, if His Highness asks and I can't answer, what should I do? "
City lord Wu angrily stopped and raised his hand to give her a slap. But seeing Li Sheng's small face with heavy makeup and her eyes filled with grievance, he couldn't bear to slap her.
He let out a heavy sigh and put down his hand. Then he pointed at Li Sheng's red wedding dress and said: "You're still wearing your wedding dress. How many years have you been married?"
"Hm?" Li Sheng lowered her head to look at herself and suddenly realized, "Ya! Could it be that today is my wedding with His Highness? No, no! " Following that, she shook her head, "The wedding was a long time ago. I only wore this wedding dress because I thought it looked good. If you don't believe me, father, look. This wedding dress is old and clearly not new." She examined her own clothes, "Looking at how old the material is, it should have been worn for at least two years. I married His Highness the year I became of marriageable age, so it's been two years now. "After saying this, she happily ran back to Feng Yu Heng's side and told her:" It's been two years. "
Feng Yu Heng reached out to hold her wrist. It was a very normal conversation, but she secretly checked her wrist, but she did not find anything strange.
They arrived at Ice Flower Hall very quickly, and the group sat down under Li Sheng's guidance. Li Sheng sat at Feng Yu Heng's side and moved closer.
City lord Wu reminded her, "Li Sheng, sit a bit further away. You can't be too close to the imperial daughter."
"That's not good." Li Sheng seriously shook her head and seriously told city lord Wu, "This imperial daughter has a very nice smell on her body. It's like the smell of Prince Lian's body. I like to smell it."
"Shut up!" City lord Wu was angry and scared. The Ninth Prince was still sitting here, but she said that his wife had the smell of another man. Wasn't this seeking death! He quickly stopped Li Sheng: "Come sit at father's side."
Li Sheng put on a stern expression and shook her head, "No."
Feng Yu Heng did not mind. Holding Li Sheng's hand, she said to city lord Wu: "If she likes it, just let her sit." She then asked Li Sheng: "You said that I have the smell of Prince Lian's body? What is that smell? "
Li Sheng pondered a little then said: "It's a special kind of spice. It's taken from the bones of an animal in the northernmost part of Qian Zhou. It's soaked in 36 different kinds of medicine for 49 days. It's then roasted and ground into powder before being placed in an incense burner. When it's lit, it's that kind of fragrance."
Feng Yu Heng was very interested in Li Sheng. It was not hard to see that there was something wrong with this girl's mind. Prince Lian's words were most likely just her own imagination. But aside from her identity, everything else was explained in a logical manner. This was very strange.
What was even stranger … was that after she met Prince Lian, there was indeed a strange smell that remained on her body. That smell was very faint. Aside from herself and Xuan Tianming, who was sleeping with her, nobody else could smell it. As for this smell, aside from her, Ban Zou also had it.
