The words "afraid of scaring the princess" nearly caused Huang Quan, who was following along, to laugh. He thought to himself that it was not a scare. It should be a sigh! This princess of the Southern Border was too arrogant. Did she really think that her beauty was the best in the world? Did she really think that there were no beauties in Dashun? However, who knew that when they appeared, they would destroy her in the blink of an eye.
But Huang Quan had forgotten that Feng Zhaolian was not someone from Dashun. It was just that he was currently following behind Feng Yu Heng and was living in Dashun. It was such that people had chosen to forget about his origins.
The seventh princess of Gu Shu, Fan Tian Man, did not think any deeper. She only heard that the girl wearing the veil had a frightening appearance, and she could not help but cover her mouth and gently laugh. She did not give up and said: "Since her appearance is not good, how can she dress so gracefully? Imperial daughter shouldn't be hiding a beauty, right? How about we have her take off her veil to take a look? "
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "Having her take off her veil is fine, but I fear that it will disturb her Highness the Empress. That would not be too good."
"Your Highness." Fan Tian Man turned to look at the Empress and said with a charming expression: "She's already here. If you don't take a look, your Highness will also be curious, right?"
The Empress was helpless. Although the princess of Gu Shu and Feng Yu Heng did not have any personal enmity, if the matters of the previous court were brought up, their relationship would be a little complicated. Gu Shu was to the south of Dashun, and there was a chaotic border between it and Lan Zhou. Now that the Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo, had taken control of the south and established a small court, it was said that his relationship with Gu Shu was very harmonious. Dashun currently looked calm, but in the end, there was no one to the throne. The princes were all secretly competing and developing their own factions. The Eighth Prince borrowing Gu Shu was certain, and the Emperor's favor of the Ninth Prince was certain. Like this, the princess of Gu Shu and Feng Yu Heng had indirectly become enemies. Now that Fan Tian Man had found a chance to embarrass Feng Yu Heng, how could she let it go so easily.
On both sides, one side was Gu Shu's seventh princess, who had come from afar and had to at least give face. No matter what was said, she could not take the lead and offend her. On the other side was the Dashun imperial family's treasure, Feng Yu Heng. The Empress thought that this was truly a difficult choice.
While thinking, she turned her gaze to the red-clothed woman behind Feng Yu Heng. She saw that the woman had a graceful and exquisite figure. Regardless of whether she looked at her face or not, her figure was very impressive. His gaze shifted upwards. Although the eyes that were exposed above the veil were also looking straight ahead, they were not in a servile manner. They also did not have the fear that they had when they entered the palace for the first time. Instead, they looked like they were very used to it. There was even a hint of … indifference? She doesn't like him? Just so-so?
When this type of emotion appeared in those eyes, the Empress suddenly remembered something. When Feng Yu Heng returned to the capital, she had brought back a prince from Qian Zhou. When she entered the palace, she had only spoken to the Emperor and Empress about this matter. She had also advised them not to make it too public. Therefore, under the pressure of Emperor Tianwu, there were very few people who knew about this matter. Apparently, that prince had been persecuted from a young age. It was to the point that he was made into a medicine man by Qian Zhou. His body was neither male nor female, half yin and half yang. But based on appearance, that person was no different from a woman. In fact, his appearance could be said to be the best in the world. She had also heard that that prince liked red clothes the most, big red clothes. Then, the one before her … …
With this thought in mind, the Empress had an idea. Thus she smiled and said to Fan Tianman: "Naturally, this One is also very curious. Heng Cheng, how about you have her remove her veil! "
When she spoke, she had a faint smile on her face. She looked calmly at Feng Yu Heng; however, her gaze gave off a clear message. Only then did Feng Yu Heng return a smile. Turning around, she said to Feng Zhaolian: "Since that's the case, just remove your veil!"
Feng Zhaolian was more straightforward than anyone else. Without any hesitation, he immediately removed the veil covering his face. At the same time, he said: "I said long ago that I shouldn't wear this thing. It's too stuffy."
His words were not polite at all. There was not the slightest bit of gentleness, but now, aside from the few that had seen Prince Lian before, the remaining Fan Tianman, the Empress, Princess Wen Xuan and the servants in the room all inhaled sharply. Even Fang Yi blurted out: "Heavens! There's actually such a beautiful girl in this world? "
Feng Zhaolian's appearance was exceptional. This was something that Feng Yu Heng had seen long ago. What was even more exceptional was his half-yin, half-yang feeling. His beauty carried a heroic spirit. It really was hard to find in this world. It was no wonder that these people were all dazed. Even Xuan Tiange, who had seen it before, could not help but take a few more glances. She even gulped. As for Fan Tianman, she had already stopped moving. Her mouth was wide open, and she did not recover for a long time.
The Empress was also extremely shocked. She thought to herself that it really was better to see once than to hear a hundred times. This sort of girl, to say that she was the best in the world, it really would not be wrong at all, right? Thinking back to when the eldest daughter of the Feng family was said to be the most beautiful girl in the capital, she also felt that she was indeed beautiful when she first saw her; however, she was far from being as breathtaking as the one before her. It was just a pity that this sort of beauty just happened to be a man.
"Alright, quickly put the veil back on!" Feng Yu Heng spoke up once more, "Look at how scared Seventh Princess is. In a while, she won't be able to speak. This matter will be blamed on us."
Fan Tianman also had a maidservant with her. Upon hearing Feng Yu Heng's words, she felt a little embarrassed. She quickly pacified her princess and finally allowed Fan Tianman to recover her ability to speak; however, she rushed to say: "Where did this evildoer come from?"
Feng Zhaolian lost it: "Is there a head on your neck? Is there a mouth under your nose? Why do I see that not only do you not have a brain, you don't even know how to speak when you open your mouth? Gu Shu really is a barren land. Even the dignified princess of the imperial family is so uncultured, much less the citizens of the country. That sort of place can be called a country? It really is the greatest joke in the world. "
He was a person that never cared about what he said. Today, he could be considered to have held back. If it was not because he was in the imperial palace, and if it was not because he needed to give some face to the Empress of Dashun, he really would have cursed Fan Tianman half to death. But after thinking a bit, the word evildoer could not be considered a curse. He would just treat it as a compliment. Only then did he stop and coldly size up the other party.
Fan Tianman had suddenly been said such impolite words and was unable to react for a while. By the time she reacted and wanted to explode, she saw that the Empress and Princess Wen Xuan had already worked together to change the topic. They did not even bring up the matter from just now. They just warmly said to Feng Yu Heng: "In the blink of an eye, the days have passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, you are already fourteen years old. After the new year, you should begin preparing for your coming of age ceremony. This One was thinking that when the time came, I would ask His Majesty for a decree to leave the palace and personally comb your hair. "
Princess Wen Xuan immediately followed up: "How could Imperial Sister-in-law have forgotten. Although the coming of age ceremony is important, there is an even more important matter that needs to be prepared for our Heng Zheng's coming of age ceremony!"
The Empress immediately reacted and quickly said: "Oh my! How could this One have forgotten about this. The day that Heng Heng becomes of age is the day of her wedding! Then there is no need to ask for a decree. His Majesty has already decided to personally officiate at the marriage between Heng Heng and Ming. Thinking about it, this One will also be able to go and join in the fun. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled and thanked the Empress, and the group began chatting warmly. With them chatting, Fan Tianman's side was completely left behind. Even Feng Zhaolian only cared about chatting with Xuan Tian Ge. Who would pay attention to her?
Fan Tianman was unable to catch her breath and felt uncomfortable holding it in. The servant at her side, however, quietly reminded her: "You are a princess. You must not lose your status because of such a small matter. Right now, we are in Dashun. Princess, you must endure a little more."
With this being said, Fan Tianman was able to quickly adjust her emotions. Although Gu Shu was small, it still had everything. People of the imperial family were people of the imperial family. It was true that Fan Tianman was spoiled, but it did not mean that she was completely lacking in scheming. She understood what her servant said and very quickly recovered from the earlier matter. She simply stopped looking at Feng Zhaolian and only said to Feng Yu Heng: "Speaking of Princess Ji An's wedding, our Gu Shu has been preparing a congratulatory gift since the beginning of this year. Next year, Gu Shu will specially send an envoy to congratulate you. When the time comes, I hope that Imperial Daughter will not dislike it."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and replied: "That's natural. Gu Shu used the entire country's resources to prepare a congratulatory gift for me. How could I dislike it."
Fan Tianman choked once more. How did it become using the entire country's resources? When did she say that it was using the entire country's resources? She wanted to retort a bit, but after thinking a bit, she held back and forced a smile, saying: "Imperial Daughter must be joking. It can't be considered using the entire country's resources. That is to give Princess Dashun face."
She did not hold back, provoking Xuan Tiange and Feng Yu Heng with just a few words.
But what sort of person was Feng Yu Heng? When had she ever suffered a loss in a battle of words? At that time, she laughed, "That's right. To speak of using the entire country's resources, there's no need to begin preparations one and a half years in advance. It really has been hard on Gu Shu. I hope that the gift that your country spent one and a half years preparing will be a generous one. "
Fan Tianman felt flustered once more. She had just said it casually. What beginning preparations at the beginning of the year? They hadn't even finished preparing it, right? But she had already said it. With Feng Yu Heng teasing her like this, if they did not bring out a decent congratulatory gift next year, it really would be hard to say. Although Gu Shu had the intention of getting closer to the Eighth Prince, who was in charge of the Southern Desert, the current Dashun was not under the control of the Eighth Prince. Gu Shu could not cause any trouble at this sort of time and follow in Qian Zhou's footsteps.
Upon thinking of this, Fan Tianman quickly put on a smile and said to Feng Yu Heng: "Imperial Daughter, don't worry, but there will be a generous gift."
The Empress saw that Gu Shu's princess knew to back down, thus she smiled once more. Calling for everyone to sit for a while, Xuan Tiange brought up going out to walk around with Feng Yu Heng.
The two left hand in hand, and Feng Zhaolian naturally followed along. Right before leaving, he did not forget to glare at Fan Tianman provocatively, causing her to suffer another bout of internal injuries.
The group quickly left Jingtsu Temple then gradually slowed down. Xuan Tiange pulled her over to the imperial garden, and Feng Yu Heng asked: "Why is it that a princess came from Gu Shu, yet there is no news from this side?"
Xuan Tiange helplessly said: "I heard that she entered the capital with the prefect of Lan Zhou. There was no ceremonial procession, and her identity was not exposed. She just entered the city silently. After that, the explanation that the other side gave was that they were worried that something would happen to the princess, thus they did not dare speak publicly. After Uncle Emperor heard this, he did not say anything. He just said that she was a guest from afar and left it at that. "
Feng Yu Heng wanted to ask a few more questions; however, at this time, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps getting closer and closer. The group turned around to look and saw that Fang Yi, who was taking care of Jingtsu Temple, was currently chasing over. Arriving in front of them, she bowed and said: "Princess, Imperial Daughter, please wait. Just after the two of you left, someone from the palace's entrance came to report that the Feng family's third young miss got into an argument with someone and was slapped. She is still frozen in place. Does Imperial Daughter want to go over and take a look?"
