At this time, Wang Chuan also moved closer to Feng Yu Heng's side. Lowering his voice, he said to her: "It's the Wen Xuan Palace's daughter of the first wife, imperial daughter Wu Yang. Her name is Xuan Tian Ge." Thinking a little, he added: "Prince Wen Xuan is the current Emperor's younger brother from the same family. He is also the only brother that is still alive."
Feng Yu Heng understood. No wonder he was so confident.
In truth, Feng Jin Yuan had already prepared himself. Since the Shen Clan had already announced the Feng manor's name, yet the other side continued to curse him without a care. There could only be two possibilities. The first possibility was that the other side was someone from Jiang Hu and did not understand what the Feng manor represented. The second possibility was the one that Feng Jin Yuan did not want to see the most. The other side had a higher rank than him.
Thinking of how he was the current prime minister and standard first rank official, it could be said that he did not place a single one of the court's officials in his eyes.
But there was one type of existence that was especially frightening: the imperial family.
And he had recently continued to provoke the imperial family.
Now, it had come again.
"Oh, uncle Feng, you finally showed yourself." Imperial daughter Wu Yang, who was standing in the carriage, also had a bit of dislike for Feng Jin Yuan, "This imperial daughter thought that you were preparing to hide in the carriage the entire time and allow your madam to curse my imperial concubine mother."
Feng Jin Yuan's head swelled upon hearing this. Did imperial daughter Wu Yang's words mean that Princess Wen Xuan was also sitting in the carriage?
He quickly helped the matriarch forward and saluted imperial daughter Wu Yang: "I did not know imperial daughter was here …"
"Alright, don't say such useless things." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by imperial daughter Wu Yang, "Say such things to my imperial concubine mother. I just want to ask you, what right does this pig have to jump around and curse us? Does she think that this imperial daughter is easy to bully or does she think that my imperial concubine mother is easy to bully? Or does she want to challenge my Emperor father's prestige? When we enter the imperial palace, we can all sit in carriages. This imperial daughter has grown up, and uncle Emperor has not even been willing to scold me. Why should I be bullied by a pig outside the palace? "
Every time she opened her mouth, she would say pig. Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch's temples throbbed from hearing this, but they did not dare say anything.
Not to mention that it was the Shen Clan who started the cursing, and the words they used were much worse than Princess Wu Yang's. Even if it was Wenxuan Palace's fault, how could they, as officials, win against the thigh of the Emperor's younger brother? Wasn't that bullshit?
Feng Jin Yuan did not say anything and kneeled in front of the carriage. Even the matriarch kneeled. With them kneeling, the other members of the Feng family found it inappropriate to continue standing. They quickly followed suit and knelt down. She then heard Feng Jin Yuan take the lead and say: "I did not know that princess and imperial daughter were here. This official, Feng Jin Yuan, apologizes to princess and imperial daughter on behalf of the guilty woman's Shen Family. I hope that princess will forgive me."
The matriarch also said: "It was this old woman's lack of discipline. Princess, please forgive the Feng family's crime of disrespect."
When the matriarch said this, her voice trembled. She now began to suspect that the bane of the Feng family was not Feng Yu Heng, but the Shen Clan. Just like today's matter, what did it have to do with Feng Yu Heng? The Shen Clan was a disaster!
The people inside the carriage did not speak for a long time.
As for the Shen Clan that had been clamoring, they also withered. Another imperial concubine had been offended by her. Although she was only a princess, she had been the wife of a first rank official for many years. It was not as if she did not know anything. The current Emperor only had one younger brother, Lord Wenxuan, and he himself had nine sons. He did not have a single daughter. Only Lord Wenxuan's palace had an imperial daughter of the first wife. He doted on her to the extreme. Apparently, when she turned 15, she would be conferred the title of princess.
But it was this sort of person that had been cursed by her, and it had been cursed so harshly. Even worse was that her mother was sitting in the carriage! Lord Wenxuan's official princess!
The Shen Clan felt that they did not have long to live.
"Shen Clan?" Finally, a voice came from inside the carriage. It was still noble and steady, "Prime minister Feng, is this Shen Clan your concubine?"
Feng Jin Yuan looked at the Shen Clan with disgust and helplessly said: "She is this official's official wife."
"Hm?" Princess Wen Xuan let out a questioning sound, "Isn't the Feng family's official wife Yao Qian Rou? When imperial physician Yao's daughter married into your Feng manor, I personally went to add to her dowry. Why is it that after not seeing you for a few years, your official wife has changed to someone else? "
The Shen Clan's teeth itched with hatred. After so many years, why was it that in the eyes of outsiders, she was still just a concubine?
Feng Jin Yuan was also quite embarrassed. He had always been too embarrassed to speak of the Feng family's inner courtyard to outsiders. Regardless of what happened with the Yao family, the Emperor did not give an edict to harm a daughter that had already married; however, their family had hurriedly chased her out of the hall and sent her to the mountains for a full three years. How could these words be said now?
"Hmph." Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, a snort came from inside the carriage, "You don't want such a good Qian Rou, yet you bring this sort of thing to the position of head wife. Dare I ask Prime minister Feng, if you can't even take care of the family, how can you manage the country?"
These words were too harsh, and Feng Jin Yuan frowned. With a heavy expression, he replied: "This official is a scholar and is indeed not proficient in taking care of the inner courtyard. Would princess please forgive me. But when it comes to matters of court, this official has never been careless. "
"Is that so." The princess completely ignored Feng Jin Yuan's unhappiness. Instead, she began chatting with her daughter: "Tian Ge." She called imperial daughter Wu Yang by her maiden name, "Your uncle emperor said a few days ago that he missed you. When we return to the capital from Pu Du Temple, remember to go into the palace to take a look."
"Imperial concubine mother, don't worry. Tian Ge will remember. Uncle emperor loves Tian Ge the most. Ever since I was young, he could not bear to scold or hit me. I remember when I was young, father emperor scolded me for being naughty. Uncle emperor was so angry that he refused to allow me to attend court for two months. If uncle emperor found out that someone had pointed at Tian Ge's nose and called her a slut, he would definitely have that person skinned alive. "
"Sur, imperial daughter!" The Shen Clan was scared witless, "Imperial daughter, I was wrong. I did not curse you. I was cursing myself! I am a slut. I am a big slut! "
How could the Shen Clan still worry about face. How could she still have any face! If she offended an imperial concubine, she might still have a path to survival, but if she offended the Emperor, it would not just be her that would die. Perhaps Chen Yu and Zi Hao would not live for long!
"Imperial daughter!" The Shen Clan began to cry, "I know I was wrong. I beg imperial daughter and princess for mercy. I really know I was wrong. Wu … "
Imperial daughter Wu Yang could no longer bear to continue watching, "Imperial concubine mother, a pig crying in front of me is truly disgusting."
Princess Wen Xuan's voice immediately came out: "Then chase her back to the pigsty."
Once this was said, two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the Shen Clan back into the carriage.
Feng Jin Yuan was also frightened by imperial daughter Wu Yang's words. As for the matriarch, she had already fallen to the ground.
Everyone knew that the Emperor doted on imperial daughter Wu Yang. Although it was not to the extent that he doted on the Ninth Prince, it was still not something that could be provoked! It was as the imperial daughter had said. Even the Emperor could not bear to scold her. Today, she had been scolded by the Shen Clan. Based on what?
"This official kowtows and asks princess and imperial daughter for forgiveness." Feng Jin Yuan felt that his face had been trampled underfoot. He was a dignified standard first rank official, yet he had to suffer this sort of humiliation because of a woman's family.
At this time, however, the matriarch suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Right, Yao shi is here!" She used her elbow to prod Feng Jin Yuan, "Quickly, quickly have Yao shi come out to pay respects to princess."
Feng Jin Yuan also reacted and quickly called for a servant, "Invite concubine mother Yao over." Yao shi had relations with many of the capital's nobles. This was something that he knew. After all, the Yao family had been imperial physicians for many generations. Their foundation was too deep.
Feng Yu Heng saw these small actions and felt unhappy. Based on what could her mother clean up after the Shen Clan caused this mess? Her father and grandmother really were wishful thinking!
"Mother." She tugged at Yao shi's sleeve, "Just answer whatever they ask. Speak the truth. There's no need to cover things up for anyone."
Yao shi hesitated for a moment then nodded, "Alright, I will listen to Heng Heng."
A servant brought Yao shi over to Princess Wen Xuan's carriage. Imperial daughter Wu Yang looked at Yao shi for a while then took the initiative to squat down. She then asked Yao shi: "Are you the previous aunt Rou?" She was born two years before Feng Yu Heng. At that time, the Yao family was still flourishing. Yao shi and Princess Wen Xuan were very close. After imperial daughter Wu Yang was born, she would see her a few times every month. It was only when she suddenly went to the Northwest three years ago that they lost contact.
At this moment, hearing Wu Yang call her aunt Rou, Yao shi's tears began to flow. It was difficult for this child to remember her.
"Aunt Rou, don't cry!" Imperial daughter Wu Yang anxiously wiped away Yao shi's tears, "Aunt Rou, you haven't come to see Tian Ge for so many years. I thought you didn't like me anymore."
"Silly child." Yao shi's tears could not be stopped, "Aunt Rou thinks of you every day, but aunt Rou has gone to a very far place these years and can't return to the capital."
A sigh came from inside the carriage. Finally, a young maidservant lifted the curtain of the carriage. They saw a noble madam wearing casual clothes come out. With the help of a servant and Wu Yang, she got out of the carriage.
She was a few years older than Yao shi. The two had always referred to each other as sisters. Reuniting after such a long time, their eyes met and they began to cry.
For a while, the surrounding people also began to wipe away their tears.
The Feng family's matriarch began to regret making such a hasty decision. Thinking about it now, the Chen family could bring wealth to the Feng family, but Yao shi could provide Feng Jin Yuan with another type of support!
"Younger sister, you don't need to say anything. Elder sister understands." Finally stopping her crying, Princess Wen Xuan held Yao shi's hand and fiercely glared at Feng Jin Yuan. Tilting her head, she looked in the direction of Feng Yu Heng and Feng Zirui.
Yao shi quickly waved to them. Seeing Feng Yu Heng pull Zirui over, she said: "Elder sister, look. Heng Heng and Zirui have both grown so big."
Feng Yu Heng had never met Princess Wen Xuan and imperial daughter Wu Yang. Before the body's original owner left the Feng manor, she was the eldest young miss of the first wife. The Feng family arranged endless amounts of homework for her every day. In addition, the body's original owner was also a medical enthusiast. Whenever she had a bit of free time, she would go to the Yao family and pester old imperial physician Yao to learn about medicine. How could she have time to visit with Yao shi.
At that time, Yao shi would often mention the Wen Xuan Palace to her, but the body's original owner's personality was one that stood aloof from worldly affairs. She disliked interacting with the rich and powerful even more. Most of the time, she would just laugh it off.
She never thought that in this sort of situation, Feng Yu Heng's soul would replace the body's original owner to meet them.
She pulled Zirui and bowed. Neither unfamiliar nor distant, she said: "Heng Heng greets elder sister imperial daughter and greets princess."
Princess Wen Xuan smiled and said: "This child, you call Tian Ge elder sister. Why is it that you call me princess."
Yao shi also said: "Heng Heng, greet aunt Lan."
She then bowed once more: "Heng Heng greets aunt Lan."
Feng Zirui also copied her and bowed; however, he cupped his hands and acted like a little adult. This caused Princess Wen Xuan to laugh and cry at the same time.
Finally, the yearning of parting for many years was diluted. Only then did she coldly glance at everyone in the Feng family. Her face sank, and the princess consort's arrogance was put up again: "Back then, my father suddenly fell ill. It was imperial physician Yao who brought him back from the gates of hell with his miraculous hands. Our Ye family viewed the Yao family as our benefactors. Prime minister Feng, did you know about this matter? "
Feng Jin Yuan's mind trembled. Ye family? Yun Lu Academy's head teacher, imperial tutor Ye Rong?
Cold sweat immediately soaked his entire body.
