The person on the roof could no longer sit still. She changed her position and crawled forward a few steps, sticking out her butt to look down. She saw that domineering "cat" walk into the courtyard with swaying steps. Under the eager gazes of the maidservants, it calmly displayed its natural cuteness. Its four chubby little legs worked very hard to move, but its steps were still unsteady. But its attitude was serious. After working hard to move a bit further, it finally stopped. Then it looked all around, avoiding the fiery gazes of the servants, its gaze accurately fixed on a certain person on the roof. After looking for a while, it let out a "woof" sound.
The maidservants retreated step by step, and finally someone recognized this cute thing, "This, this, this, this isn't a cat, this is a tiger! It's a tiger! "
Following this loud shout, everyone retreated once again, only stopping when they had nowhere else to go. But their legs were still trembling, and they could not help but look up at the roof, hoping that their master would come down in time to resolve this predicament.
Who knew that Feng Yu Heng would be lying on the roof in a daze, her two large eyes blinking as she looked at the cute little cub. She actually began chatting with it through the air: "Hey! Which family are you from? It looks like you were born not long ago, right? Have you been abandoned? "
How could the little cub understand what she was saying, but it saw that there was a person on the roof. She seemed different from the other living creatures, and she was quite good looking, so it lay on the ground, waiting for the other person to come down. But Feng Yu Heng did not move for a long time, so it was a little anxious. It continuously used its little paws to slap the ground, its face full of unhappiness.
Feng Yu Heng laughed, "Your temper is quite big, ah! You're a tiger, right? You're not a cat, right? "The environment in the ancient era was so good that a newborn tiger could walk on its own? Thinking about it, she had been in the Dashun court for two years, so why was this her first time encountering one?
She was prepared to chat with the little cub a bit more, but at this time, a familiar cough came from outside the courtyard. Following this, a purple robed figure came in, calmly walking behind the little cub and standing there. The maidservants all kneeled on the ground, shouting in unison: "Greetings to His Highness Prince Yu."
The person who came was none other than Xuan Tianming. With a wave of his hand, he chased away all the irrelevant people. Then, he lifted his leg and rubbed it against the little tiger's butt. "Hey."
The little tiger turned around and touched its face unhappily. It moved to the side and lay down again.
Xuan Tianming didn't want to argue with it too much. He only raised his head to look at the little girl on the roof who didn't care about her image at all. He helplessly shook his head and took a few steps forward. He opened his arms and said, "Heng Heng, come down."
Feng Yu Heng happily jumped off the building … and fell right into his arms. "You're a little meaty now," said a certain someone rudely. Following this, he heard the little tiger cry out again. He couldn't help but frown and say: "It really is harder to take care of than a little child."
Feng Yu Heng had already broken free from him and picked up the little tiger, "Where did you get this little white tiger?" This was a little white tiger that had just been born. It was still chubby and very cute.
Xuan Tianming pulled her to sit on a stone chair in the courtyard before saying: "When Imperial Concubine Mother was living in the eastern border, in order to curry favor with her, the soldiers actually caught two tigers from the forest and raised them in the general's manor. When returning to the capital, Imperial Concubine Mother insisted on bringing them along, but she was rejected by Seventh Brother. Who knew that she secretly sent a messenger pigeon to the general, saying that if someone from the eastern border came to the capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival, they had to bring the two tigers to the capital. See, when the Fuzhou Zhizhou came, he really did bring them over. The two tigers were a male and a female. The female was pregnant with cubs and gave birth to two cubs. One of them died, and the remaining one was a little weak. Seventh Brother felt pity for it and had me send it to you. He said that he wanted to see if you could raise it. In any case, it's still a little life. "
Xuan Tianming shook his head as he spoke. His Imperial Concubine Mother was really too willful.
Feng Yu Heng didn't think so. While listening, she gave a thumbs up, "Imperial Concubine Mother is really domineering! Other concubines in the palace raise cats and dogs, but our Imperial Concubine Mother raises tigers. Domineering! "
"Enough." Xuan Tianming smiled bitterly, "Don't make a fuss. See if this little cub can be raised. I think it's quite good-looking. If you like it, it's good to catch it as a companion. I just don't know if it can control its wild nature after it grows up. It's best if it doesn't hurt you."
"It's Little White that I raised. It can't hurt me." A certain person had already very consciously taken the little tiger as her own; however, the little white tiger still used its chubby face to rub against the back of her hand a few times after hearing her say this. This caused Feng Yu Heng to feel extremely satisfied, and her motherly instincts immediately lit up. She immediately reached into her sleeve and took out a bottle of baby formula from the pharmacy's counter. Then, she called for a servant to boil water. She then took out a milk bottle and prepared the formula. On the spot, she hugged the little white tiger and stuffed the pacifier into its mouth.
This little tiger didn't like to eat since it was born. It was so hungry that it was shaking. At this moment, when it smelled the milk, its eyes lit up. It held the milk bottle with its two front paws and gulped down the milk.
Xuan Tianming looked at it curiously, "It can really drink!" He had drunk milk powder with Feng Yu Heng before, but he didn't expect that this little tiger wouldn't even drink the mother tiger's milk. It could actually drink the milk from Feng Yu Heng's shop. He was amazed. "It seems like it was the right choice to send it here. I originally thought that this little cub couldn't survive."
Feng Yu Heng didn't like to hear this, "Why do you keep calling it little cub, little cub? Call it Little White. "
Xuan Tianming rolled his eyes. He really didn't think that the name Little White sounded good. It wasn't creative at all. However, it did sound much better than little cub. Thus, he went along with her. "Little White it is." After saying that, he even reached out to touch it.
The little tiger fiddled with its head and said, "Don't disturb me when I drink milk." The two of them laughed out loud.
At that time, Feng Yu Heng only thought of this little tiger as a little pet. No matter how big it could grow, and no matter if it would be hard to change its wild nature and have to live in a cage in the future, at least this little guy was really cute when it was young. She simply couldn't bear to put it down. However, she didn't expect that many years later, it would be this little tiger that saved her life in a crisis.
Of course, this was a story for the future. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's talk about the current situation. This Little White had become Feng Yu Heng's new pet. She hugged it and refused to let go. Xuan Tianming could only helplessly watch as this little guy still snuggled in his daughter-in-law's arms after eating and drinking its fill. It even kept rubbing against the important parts of her body. He was so angry that he wanted to pull that little guy down and give it a good beating several times.
In his anger, he asked her: "What happened to the money that was extorted from the jade materials?"
Feng Yu Heng said as if it was a matter of fact: "A portion of it was used to expand Hundred Herb Hall. The other portion was used to charge into my royal residence's public accounts."
Xuan Tianming glared at this little girl, "You're really evil! To be able to extort eight thousand taels of silver, I should at least have a share of the credit, right? "
"We're all family. Even if I really gave it to you, would you still have the face to take it?" She said very aggrievedly: "Besides, even if it's all in the royal residence's account, when I marry you in the future, I'll only bring it over as a dowry. No matter how you look at it, it's still yours. Ai! " She sighed, "It's a pity that you're a prince. Otherwise, I could have recruited you to be my junma. This way, I wouldn't have to bring such a generous dowry when I get married. Just thinking about it, it's not worth it."
Xuan Tianming smiled bitterly, "You're still feeling aggrieved. Could it be that with an extra eight thousand taels of silver, your royal residence will be able to reach the heavens? Will it be able to become so rich that it can even compare to my Imperial Palace Yu? When I marry you next year and hand the palace's accounts to you, you'll know that you won't lose out. "
Of course, Feng Yu Heng knew that she wouldn't lose out. With such a biased father like Tianwu, how could Xuan Tianming's wealth be lacking. Just based on the betrothal gift that he had given to the Feng manor, it was clear just how much money he had spent.
Speaking of the betrothal gift, she remembered something else: "That's right, normally speaking, there should be a large gift three days before the wedding. You absolutely must not bring the betrothal gift to the Feng manor."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Don't worry. I have a plan for this sort of thing."
She did not say anything else. If he said that he had a plan, then he definitely had a plan. Speaking of, based on the bashfulness of women from the ancient era, taking the initiative to mention the betrothal gift to her fiancé was a bit embarrassing! But she just wanted to change the topic. At the very least, she wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Although Xuan Tianming had come today to deliver this small tiger, based on her understanding of her future husband, he had a lot on his mind.
Sure enough, after the topic ended, the two looked at each other in silence. After a long time, it was Xuan Tianming who spoke first, saying: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is about to arrive."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's right. Many officials from other provinces have entered the capital. Apparently, the banquet this time will be the grandest one in history."
"Un." Xuan Tianming nodded and continued: "With Qian Zhou's victory, father Emperor is happy. In the East, Zong Sui did not cause any trouble. This can be considered one of Seventh Brother's achievements. In addition to this, he is already quite old and has the intention of appointing a crown prince. As I see it, if that old guy drinks too much this time, he will most likely speak without thinking. "
She frowned, "You mean to say that father Emperor will announce the appointment of a crown prince at this banquet?"
"It's possible." Xuan Tianming was helpless, "When he is sober, there will always be people stopping him. I am just afraid that in this sort of situation, if I don't say anything, no one will care. I can't just shut his mouth in front of so many people."
Feng Yu Heng thought for a bit then said: "If we are talking about stabilizing the country, appointing a crown prince early is also a good thing."
"But even if it is appointed, do you feel that everyone will accept it?" Xuan Tianming smiled bitterly, "I know what he is thinking. If these words are spoken, the position of crown prince will definitely be mine. But Heng Heng, what do you think is the reason why father Emperor wants to give the position of crown prince to me? "
"Because … …" She calculated, "Before I returned to the capital, you had already won a battle in the Northwest. Although you were heavily injured, at that time, there were rumors that you had no hope of having children. This was news that father Emperor deliberately spread. It was for the sake of dispelling the other princes' thoughts of becoming enemies with you. For you, it was also a form of protection. As you became stronger, he stopped hiding the truth. With your help, he also captured the traitors. After that, we conquered Qian Zhou. As your fiancée, I even brought the method of producing steel to Dashun … … Logically speaking, it is perfectly justified for you to become a prince. "
Xuan Tianming shook his head, "In terms of military merits? The military merits that Eighth Brother has accumulated in the South are not inferior to mine. There is also old sixth. What do you think he is doing outside for so long? Our people have always been chasing after the remnants of Qian Zhou. The news that they sent back said that old sixth is also doing the same thing! And why did Seventh Brother personally head to the East? It is because he sensed that old sixth is already having ideas about the East. The battle situation over at Zong Sui is also on the verge of erupting. If he does not go, old sixth will definitely go. At that time, another piece of territory will be divided between them. My position as crown prince will not be acknowledged by anyone. The most important thing is … … "He paused and looked helplessly at Feng Yu Heng.
Her heart was moved and she blurted out: "You mean to say that someone might use imperial concubine mother to say something? They think that father Emperor made you the crown prince because of imperial concubine mother? "
"It is not that someone might, but that someone has already said this!"
