Everyone was kneeling to greet the princess. At such a solemn moment, someone suddenly sneezed. This really did not have a good effect. Moreover, this sneeze seemed to have come suddenly. It was such that the young miss did not even have time to cover her mouth, nor did she have time to try to keep her voice down. The sneeze was so loud that half of the imperial garden could hear it.
Xuan Tiange was given a fright by this movement and asked on reflex: "Who is this?"
In the crowd, a girl replied while trembling: "It's me." Her voice carried a sobbing tone. It was clear that she had been frightened.
The maidservant next to her quickly kowtowed on behalf of her master: "Princess, please forgive us, Princess! Our young miss is just allergic to pollen, and the fragrance in the imperial garden today is a little too strong. That's why she was unable to endure it. Would Your Highness the Princess please forgive us. "
Everyone looked towards the girl who sneezed. That was the daughter of an official from another province. She was very unfamiliar and there were not many people who knew her. But there were still people who remembered that when they were gathered in groups of twos and threes, that girl hid far away and covered her nose the entire time.
Xuan Tiange did not think much of it, only saying: "Since there is a reason for this, everyone can get up. It's just a small matter. There's no need to take it to heart. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's best if everyone has fun. "
With her saying this, that young miss finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly thanked her for her grace. But she heard Xuan Tiange mutter: "But the smell today is a little strong."
Everyone stood up and resumed their respective small groups. The women in the capital were naturally familiar with each other. There were also quite a few who came from other provinces and had acquaintances in the capital. Everyone gathered together and chatted with each other. It was very lively. During this time, there were quite a few people who took the initiative to greet Xuan Tiange and Feng Yu Heng. Their faces were full of flattery, and their intention to curry favor could not be more obvious.
Towards this sort of person, Xuan Tiange and Feng Yu Heng did not slap their faces. They did not reject anyone who came, and they could chat enthusiastically with any one of them. This made those madams and young misses feel that they had become friends with the princess and imperial daughter. But when they turned around and thought about it, they really could not think of anything substantial that had been discussed in the earlier conversation. It seemed that those two masters did not even ask which family they were from. He was really just being polite and doing his duty as the host. That was all.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel sad again. This kind of sadness naturally attracted the attention of those who didn't go forward to curry favor. But there was still a portion of people that could not be bothered with paying attention to anything else. Feng Zhao Lian's existence caused them to practically go crazy. The bright red clothes were already dazzling, and with that face that caused even the sun to lose color, these madams and young misses all hated that they could not be men. If they were men, they would definitely take this girl into their manor and would agree to any conditions.
On that side, a large group of people surrounded Feng Zhaolian and asked him all sorts of questions. Although Feng Zhaolian was a person that usually spoke a little obnoxious, as long as he wanted to, there was no situation that he could not handle. Thus he was able to get along well with a group of infatuated women. On this side, they had finally managed to get away from the group of people that had come to curry favor. Xuan Tian Ge pulled Feng Yu Heng to a relatively quiet place to sit down. Only then did she say: "Today, this garden is truly too fragrant."
Xiang Rong thought for a bit then said: "I saw a large number of flowers that seemed to have been moved into the garden later on. Thinking about it, Her Highness the Empress must have moved a large number of flowers and plants here for the sake of hosting this hundred flower banquet. That's why the fragrance is so thick, right?"
Feng Yu Heng, however, shook her head, "Flowers and plants will always have a fragrance, but it would not be to this degree."
Xuan Tian Ge also said: "That's right, this is not the fragrance of flowers. The young miss that sneezed earlier, I figure it's not entirely because of a pollen allergy, right?"
Feng Yu Heng was a bit more authoritative about this, as she explained to the two: "Pollen is not the only source of allergies. Fragrances are also one of them. The reason that she sneezed is most likely because her respiratory tract is quite sensitive to smells. Overly strong fragrances would naturally cause her to feel uncomfortable."
But Feng Yu Heng knew that aside from the young miss with a sensitive nose, the other people would not feel anything about this sort of fragrance. Even if there were people that thought that this fragrance did not just come from the flowers and plants, with so many madams and young misses gathered in one place, everyone would have some sort of perfume on them. Mixing together, the smell would naturally be a bit stronger. This was nothing. Moreover, it was not unpleasant.
She looked all around, and Xuan Tian Ge was puzzled: "What are you looking at? Could it be that you're looking at the Feng family's fourth young miss? I just saw her talking with one of the Lu Family's daughters. "
Upon mentioning the Lu Family's daughter, Feng Yu Heng immediately spoke up: "I am looking for one of the Lu Family's daughters, but it shouldn't be the one you're talking about. Wasn't it said that their family had a total of three young misses? "
Xuan Tian Ge nodded, "That's right. Because Prime Minister Lu has had two official wives, there are also two young misses of the first wife. One is Lu Yao, who married into the Yao family. The other seems to be called Lu Yan, and she has yet to be betrothed. As for the other one, I don't know. She very rarely shows herself. "
Feng Yu Heng said: "The one I'm looking for is the last one that has never shown herself." For some reason, the fragrance in the imperial garden caused her to recall the matter that she had encountered in front of the jewelry store. At that time, there was also a strong fragrance coming from a girl's body, and she was able to recognize that the maidservant at that girl's side was from the Lu manor. The Lu manor's maidservant naturally could not accompany the young misses of other manors, and she recognized Lu Yao. Thus, the one at that maidservant's side could only be the other two young misses of the Lu Family. As for the Lu Family's Lu Yan, even if she did not recognize her, she was not someone that did not leave the house at all. It was impossible for her to wear a veil when going out on the streets, and she would also wear a low-quality powder. Thinking like this, the one that she had met that day was most likely the daughter of the Lu Family.
"What are you looking for her for?" Although Xuan Tian Ge was puzzled, she still helped look around. Xiang Rong also did the same. But after looking for a while, she said: "How should I look for her. I've never seen her before. Even if I see her face to face, I can't recognize her."
At this time, Xiang Rong reached out and pointed at a corner: "Look, there's a young miss wearing a veil over there."
Everyone looked in the direction that she was pointing. Of course, there was indeed a master and servant standing next to a rock garden. The master with eye-catching clothes had a veil over her face, and she seemed to be saying something to her maidservant.
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Right, I recognize that girl. It's those two."
"What are you looking for her for?" Xuan Tian Ge voiced her doubts, and Feng Yu Heng's thoughts were still just guesses. It was not good to speak carelessly, thus she just said: "I'm curious! You know that I pay a bit more attention to the Lu Family. "
Xuan Tian Ge also felt that this was reasonable, thus she pointed in another direction and said: "Look, Lu Yao and Lu Yan have also come. It seems that they came together."
Feng Yu Heng looked over. Of course, those two had also rushed over to the imperial garden. One was dressed as a girl, and the other was dressed as a married woman. They very quickly found familiar faces and began to chat with the madams and young misses. As for the female members of the Yao family that had come with Lu Yao, they had also entered the garden. Very quickly, there were people that went forward to chat with them. Feng Yu Heng could not go over and disturb them.
When women gathered, it was nothing more than gathering together to gossip. As she saw it, it was extremely boring.
Fortunately, something that was not boring very quickly arrived, as Feng Zhao Lian finally managed to break free from those infatuated gazes and quickly walked over to them. Arriving in front of them, he sat down on a stone bench and immediately let out a long sigh, "I'm so tired."
Feng Yu Heng looked at him with disdain, "As I see it, you seem to be doing quite well."
"Isn't it all because of you!" Feng Zhao Lian spoke in a matter-of-fact manner, "Heng, we are on the same side. It's natural that I would be thinking of you."
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, "What are you thinking of me for?"
"I can't just watch someone bully you!"
Xuan Tian Ge was speechless, "These words are spoken by you. Who would be willing to just watch someone bully Heng?"
Huang Quan added: "It's impossible for our young miss to be bullied." Her words immediately caused Xuan Tian Ge's maidservant and Feng Xiang Rong's maidservant to agree.
Feng Zhao Lian, however, said: "It's not the same this time. None of you were present at the time. Even if you wanted to do something, you could not do anything." While he spoke, he glanced at Huang Quan, "As for you! Seeing someone ostracize your young miss, you are completely indifferent. "
Huang Quan became furious, "When did I? When did this happen? "
Feng Zhao Lian said: "When we just arrived at the Imperial Palace's boundary, when the imperial carriage was blocked, it's not like you didn't hear how many people were talking about A-Heng outside the carriage. Those words were even more sour than vinegar. During that time, there were quite a few people who complained about A-Heng, and their words were very rude."
With him saying it like this, Huang Quan did not have the ability to continue. That's right, such a thing had indeed happened at that time, but her young miss did not allow her to pay any attention to it!
Feng Zhao Lian seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking, as he continued: "Ignoring it at that time was a strategic consideration. After all, with our status, we can't just go and argue with those gossipy gossips on the streets. It's too low of a standard. But this grudge must be avenged! "
Huang Quan was speechless. How could it be avenged? At that time, there were so many people talking outside. Who knew which madams and young misses they were? She did not know a single one.
At this time, Feng Zhao Lian very naturally straightened his body; however, this was met with ridicule from Feng Yu Heng: "Don't straighten it out. No matter how much you straighten it out, you don't have a chest."
Feng Zhao Lian suffered a blow and said in a muffled voice: "Next time, think of a way to make my chest grow a bit!" He then very quickly changed the topic and continued what he had just said, "Heng Heng, although I do not know the people who were speaking ill of you outside the palace, I have remembered their voices. Just now, I took turns chatting with the women in this courtyard. One by one, I managed to identify all of the people who were speaking ill of you! "
Feng Yu Heng nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood, "What?"
Feng Zhao Lian very proudly repeated: "It's those people who like to sow discord. I have remembered their voices. At this time, not a single one is missing. I have identified all of them."
Xuan Tian Ge, Feng Xiang Rong and the others were dazed from hearing this. Huang Quan said: "Aren't you holding a grudge a little too much?"
"Wrong!" Feng Zhao Lian said: "This is Heng Heng's grudge. I must remember them all! Not only do I remember them, through chatting with them, I have already figured out their identities. Come, come, come, Heng Heng Heng, I will tell you. "
"Wait a moment." Feng Yu Heng calmly reached into her sleeve and very quickly pulled out a book and a pen, "Point them out to me one by one and speak slowly. I will record them all in this book."
Everyone fainted!
