Feng Yu Heng leaned against the window and pondered, "The second young miss of the left prime minister's family?" Why did it feel as though they were talking about her? "Hah!" She reached out and patted Xuan Tianming, "The court has a new left prime minister?"
Xuan Tianming nodded, "He was originally in charge of government affairs and took over Feng Jin Yuan's position as a lower first rank official."
"Oh." She looked out once more. The maidservant's arrogant and despotic appearance caused her to recall the former Feng Fen Dai. "Let's go." She sat back down and no longer looked. She allowed the maidservant to continue cursing, and she could faintly hear even more insults directed at Xiang Rong.
Xuan Tianming asked her: "You're not going to care? Didn't you treat your third sister quite well? "
Feng Yu Heng said: "Xiang Rong did not suffer a loss. A bolt of high-quality Sichuan brocade with two ducks embroidered on it. If this was really done by Xiang Rong, I truly want to applaud her. It's just that with her personality, I fear that she would not be able to do such a satisfying thing. I will go back and ask what exactly happened. Right now, it is most important for us to go into the palace and report to father Emperor. Either way, we have returned to the capital. There is plenty of time to slowly plan out the matters at home. "
On this side, the two's carriage headed straight for the imperial palace. The other carriages that had entered the city went back to the imperial daughter's manor and the Imperial Palace Yu.
At this very moment, inside the Feng manor, a servant was anxiously telling Xiang Rong about what had happened in the embroidery shop. Xiang Rong was extremely shocked: "What did you say? It was embroidered into ducks? "
The servant nodded, "Not only was it embroidered into ducks, but the stitches were also extremely awkward. It was extremely ugly. The new bride's maidservant went crazy from anger. She stood in front of the embroidery shop and cursed, refusing to leave. Not only did she want us to pay for all of the losses, she also wanted third young miss to kneel in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo and apologize to her young miss. "
Xiang Rong angrily paced around, "If I knew that he would cause this sort of trouble for me, I would not have given the cloth to him. He really is incapable of accomplishing anything but is good at ruining things." She waved her hand and dismissed the maidservant. Then, she said to her personal maidservant, Shan Cha, "Quick, pack up. We're going to King Ping's residence to settle the score with him!"
Not long later, the two angrily left the courtyard. Xiang Rong had never been so angry before. That damn Xuan Tian Yi, to embroider a duck on a wedding dress, it's a wonder that he could think of such a thing. Was this not deliberately trying to embarrass her? "In my opinion, His Majesty shouldn't have been so kind as to allow him to move back to Prince Ping's residence to be confined. This kind of person should … should be sent to the mountains to become a monk."
Shan Cha advised her, "Young Miss, don't be too angry. From what I see, His Highness did the right thing! That young miss of the new Left Prime Minister's family has gone too far. It's true that we own the shop, but if she wants to embroider something, she has a specialized embroiderer. Why does she want you to embroider it for her? This was clearly a humiliation! Young Miss, you shouldn't settle the score with His Highness the Fourth Prince. You should thank him instead! "
"Nonsense!" Xiangrong glared at Shan Cha, "What do you know? Although he has been demoted to a commoner and is still in confinement, he is still a prince. He fears nothing, but what am I? The current Feng manor cannot be compared to the past. Even in the past, I was just the young miss of a concubine. The difference in status was like the difference between Heaven and Earth. It's better to have less trouble than more trouble. It would be best to not cause any trouble. "
The two spoke while walking out of the manor. Just as they arrived at the entrance, Fen Dai happened to be walking in from the outside. The two sisters bumped into each other. Fen Dai saw Xiang Rong's appearance and immediately laughed, "Oh, third sister, where are you going? I heard that something big happened at the embroidery shop. You ruined their Sichuan brocade, and they called for you to kneel and apologize! "
Xiang Rong did not want to argue with Fen Dai. Turning around, she wanted to go around her. Unfortunately, Fen Dai had a personality of looking for trouble. Seeing that Xiang Rong wanted to go around her, she immediately moved half a step to the side, blocking Xiang Rong's path. ,
"Fourth sister." Xiang Rong asked her, "Is there something you need?"
"What is it? If there's nothing, can you not speak with third sister? Younger sister, I am also being kind. Third sister, you should think about why they dared to call for you to be a lowly embroiderer. Isn't it because you don't have anyone to rely on. Now, we can no longer rely on our family, but girls, in the end, rely on their husband's family. I remember that third sister was quite close to his Highness the seventh prince. His Highness the seventh prince even sent clothes … Oh, that's not right. That was a misunderstanding. He sent them because of Feng Yu Heng's face. "She covered her mouth and laughed. Looking at Xiang Rong, her face was filled with contempt.
Xiang Rong did not want to argue with her too much. She understood this fourth sister too well. It seemed that she had been born to cause trouble. Nobody could avoid her. Nobody could avoid her. In the past, when second sister was in the manor, she could still restrain herself. Now, however, she did not say that she did not care.
Xiang Rong moved a couple steps to the side, wanting to go around and leave the manor. This time, Fen Dai did not stop her. She just raised her hand and shouted to the servants at the entrance: "Move quickly. Those are all high-quality clothes sent by the fifth prince. Be careful not to damage them."
Xuan Tian Yan treated Fen Dai as well as he had in the past. Xiang Rong could not understand what the fifth prince saw in Fen Dai, but the things in this world were hard to say, especially when it came to feelings.
"Hah!" Fen Dai's exaggerated sigh could be heard once more, as the words that came out were even more harsh: "People need to have some self-awareness. You don't even take a look at yourself, yet you actually want to be with the seventh prince."
Xiang Rong's heart felt as though it had been pierced by a needle; however, her expression became cold. She reminded Fen Dai: "Fourth sister, quickly go back. Just now, I heard younger brother crying and making a fuss."
"Hmph!" Fen Dai's face immediately sank. Glaring fiercely at Xiang Rong, she began walking into the manor. While walking, she said to her servant, Dong Ying: "Why is that child still not dead? He cries and makes a fuss all day. I am about to be annoyed to death by him. "
Dong Ying quietly said: "There's nothing that can be done. The people that second young miss left behind are keeping a close eye on him. We have tried a few times but failed. I fear that if we try again, we will anger those people. It will not be good for fourth young miss."
Fen Dai angrily gritted her teeth, "Feng Yu Heng, why did she not die on the battlefield in Qian Zhou?"
Xiang Rong stopped outside the manor and waited for Shan Cha to call for a driver. Her gaze, however, subconsciously turned in a certain direction. Fen Dai's sarcastic words were still ringing in her ears, but she had not gone to the Chun Palace for a long time. She did not go out often. At most, she would go to the embroidery shop to take a look. Occasionally, when Xuan Tian Yi threw a tantrum, she would go to the Ping Palace. But these two places were in the opposite direction of the Chun Palace. It was such that she did not even have the chance to pass by the Chun Palace's entrance.
"Young miss, get in the carriage!" Shan Cha ran over, and the driver followed behind her. This carriage had been hired on the spot. The Feng manor only had two carriages. One was for Fen Dai's personal use, and the other was for Feng Jin Yuan and the Cheng shi sisters' personal use. The other people were not as restricted as when the matriarch was around. After all, they were no longer a large family; however, they could only spend their own money to hire carriages.
When Xiang Rong got in the carriage, she was thinking. It was no wonder that the young miss of the first wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo would order her around like an embroiderer. Right now, she was just the daughter of a commoner. If it was not for the fact that she had a maidservant at her side, she would not even be called young miss.
Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng returning to the capital did not cause too much of a commotion. In fact, when the carriage arrived at the palace's entrance, the Imperial Guard was given a fright. They never thought that Prince Yu and Princess Ji An would actually return.
For a while, the palace was in an uproar. News of Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng entering the palace spread like wildfire. From the front of the court to the inner palace, it became the most talked about topic.
When the two saw Tianwu, they were in Heavenly Hall. Zhang Yuan was standing at the entrance to receive them. Upon seeing them walk over, he quickly saluted and kowtowed to the ground. With tears of gratitude, he said: "Your Highness, Imperial Daughter, you've finally returned."
Xuan Tianming frowned and asked him: "Why does it seem like you can't continue living?"
Zhang Yuan wiped his face and said: "If Your Highness didn't return, this servant really wouldn't be able to continue living. The Emperor, he … … is too hard to serve."
"Hmph." Xuan Tianming snorted, "What kind of evil moths is that old man playing now?"
Zhang Yuan gave a long sigh, "If it was just him playing around, then it would be fine." Then he faced Xuan Tianming's questioning gaze, but did not continue speaking. He only stood up and made a gesture of invitation, "Your Highness, quickly go in. The Emperor is waiting."
Feng Yu Heng could see some clues. Although she was curious, she knew that now was not the time to ask, so she obediently followed Xuan Tianming into the main hall. After arriving in the main hall, she looked up and saw Tianwu sitting on the dragon throne while holding a cushion. He had an even more depressed appearance than Zhang Yuan, as he stared at them with his dead fish eyes.
The two had wanted to salute, and Xuan Tianming was only halfway through kneeling. As a result, he was glared at by those dead fish eyes, causing him to angrily stand up once more. "The North has been pacified, and Qian Zhou has been attacked. What sort of attitude is this?" He was extremely puzzled, "Shouldn't you be happy?"
Tianwu rolled his eyes, "Even if it was taken down, it would be for your wife. What is there for Us to be happy about?"
When Feng Yu Heng heard this, she wondered if this old father-in-law was unhappy? Thus she quickly said: "If father Emperor regrets it and feels sorry for that place, daughter-in-law will return it to you." Either way, it was a wasteland. Taking care of it would be exhausting.
Who knew that Tianwu would wave his hand: "No!" He then looked up and asked the two: "After you entered the palace, did you come directly to Us?"
Was this not nonsense? Xuan Tianming glared at him, "Where else could we have gone?"
"Winter Moon Palace!" Tianwu became furious, "As a son, and as your imperial concubine mother's only son, you went out to fight for a year. What is it? After returning to the palace, shouldn't you have gone to report to imperial concubine mother that you are safe? Do you even have that mother in your heart? You heartless person, We will beat you to death! "
As he said this, he really did throw the cushion in his hand, and it landed on Xuan Tianming's head.
Zhang Yuan grinned and quickly consoled him: "Your Majesty, don't get angry. You must not get angry. His Highness and imperial daughter are both loyal and filial. When a general returns to court, it's natural that he must report first. This is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times! "
Tianwu also understood this reasoning and awkwardly refused to admit his mistake; however, he did not continue to insist. He very unhappily sat there and did not say anything.
Xuan Tianming did not continue to argue with him. Standing at the front of the hall, he seriously recounted the journey to the North from beginning to end. It was as formal and general as an official's report, but it was more like a story. Each event was described in great detail, causing Tianwu to go from not liking it at the beginning to being filled with passion by the end.
When he reached the part about the battle with Qian Zhou's ruler, he leaned forward with his elbows on the table and asked a question that Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng had overlooked.
