The mental torture caused by the dance had not completely disappeared. When Feng Yu Heng stood up again, people couldn't help but wonder what this person was going to do. Could it be that she felt that it was necessary to perform another solo dance? Please don't!
This time, Feng Yu Heng gave them a great deal of face. She did not request for a solo dance, but the words that came out of her mouth made everyone feel that it would be better to have a solo dance "Your Highness the Empress, I suddenly thought of something. The madams and young misses are just enjoying the song and dance, so it's quite monotonous. For example … horse racing! "
People collapsed. Someone immediately retorted, "How can that be!"
The Empress glared at her fiercely. Consort Gu Xian on the side said, "Princess Ji 'an is talking to the Empress. You rushed to answer. Are you comparing yourself to the Empress?"
This sentence scared the young miss so much that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for forgiveness. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her. The Empress then asked Feng Yu Heng, "How do you think we should race? This is something new. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said, "There's no need to deliberately arrange it. Why don't we all go to the racetrack and have a normal horse race."
The Empress nodded, "I think it's very good."
Feng Yu Heng then turned to ask the madams and misses, "Now it's your turn to speak. What do you all think?"
For a moment, people were speechless. After a while, someone finally asked timidly, "Why should we race horses? Isn't it good to just show talents? "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "No. No matter if it's a man or a woman, they should all be well-rounded. This is beneficial to the advancement of Dashun's national fortune."
Someone else said, "But what's the use of horse racing? We're all women. Are we going to fight on the battlefield in the future? "
Feng Yu Heng also had something to say, "Then tell me, what's the use of singing and dancing? You're all young misses of official families. Are you going to be singers and dancers in the future? "
Everyone shook their heads, "Of course not." What was this? They were all young misses of noble families. How could they be singers and dancers?
Feng Yu Heng asked again, "Since you're not going to be singers and dancers, it means that singing and dancing have no serious use. Why do you still want to learn it? Ask your mother or female elders in your family. After you married into your husband's family, how many times did you dance? How many times did you sing? How many times did you play the zither? "
Everyone was speechless, and the faces of the madams turned red from what was said. Singing, dancing, and playing the zither, in their eyes, these were things that should be taught to their daughters. Why was it that when Feng Yu Heng said it like this, it did not matter at all? ......... Just like what she said, after marrying into her husband's family, how many times had she danced in her life? ...... How many times had he played the zither? ...................... to win.......................
Some people thought this in their hearts but didn't say it out loud. But in the end, there were still shallow people who said it out loud. In the end, they were ridiculed by Feng Yu Heng: "Don't you think men are too simple? You think you can get a good man by dancing a few times? You can get a good man by singing? Men like that are only interested in your singing and dancing skills. What will you do when you can't dance anymore? Let me tell you, they will find new people to replace your previous position. Then you will be caught in round after round of internal strife. There will never be a day of peace. "
These words were a bit alarmist, but thinking about it carefully, wasn't it wrong? She was completely right!
Then, Feng Yu Heng added, "This imperial princess doesn't know how to sing or dance, but my heart is connected with His Ninth Highness. Do you think that His Ninth Highness is inferior to those men who only know how to listen and appreciate songs?"
Who dared to nod? Moreover, even if they wanted to nod, they couldn't do it. Xuan Tianming's excellence was obvious to all in Dashun. The Ninth Prince didn't care about an early engagement at all. If he wanted to break the contract, he could break it in an instant. And to be able to get along with Princess Ji 'an to this extent, they couldn't help but admit that the Princess Ji' an was capable.
Another person asked unwillingly: "Then according to what the imperial princess said, what you know is useful? Is it useful for us to go horse racing? "
"Why not?" Feng Yu Heng answered matter-of-factly. "At least this imperial princess is good at riding and martial arts. I can accompany His Highness to fight in the sand. What about you? You can't be a singer or a dancer. What's the point of singing and dancing all day? "
Here it comes again! Everyone was speechless. Can't you just ignore the part about being a singer or a dancer?
As a result, Feng Yu Heng added on: "Or perhaps you want to say that you can manage the household and manage the household. Then come, come, come, let's compete. Let's see who is better at accounting, who is better at using the abacus and who is better at managing the household?"
In an instant, everyone was rendered speechless once more. Even those people who had the courage to voice their doubts fell silent. How should this battle of words be fought? They weren't on the same level at all! Princess Ji 'an's every word was reasonable, but this logic was something that they could not refute. Those with strong wills were fine, but some madams and young misses who were weaker and didn't have any ideas had already begun to doubt life because of what Feng Yu Heng said. There were even some who decided to smash the zither after returning and chase the dance teacher out of the manor. From then on, they would invite a martial arts master and begin to practice martial arts. At the same time, they would also learn how to use the abacus.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the atmosphere was a little awkward. At this time, Xuan Tian Ge also stood up and said with a smile: "This princess feels that the idea of horse racing is very good. Just sitting like this will cause my muscles and bones to hurt. This princess agrees with this suggestion of horse racing and is happy to participate."
Feng Yu Heng nodded and said to everyone: "What did you say when you were dancing earlier? Even Princess Wu Yang went on stage. Could it be that Princess Ji 'an's airs are greater than Princess Wu Yang's? Then this imperial daughter will ask you now. Even Princess Wu Yang wants to participate in horse racing. Could it be that your airs are greater than Princess Wu Yang's? Really, nowadays, the statuses of young misses from official families are becoming more and more important. This imperial daughter doesn't know how to dance and was forced to dance by you guys. Now, this imperial daughter wants to race horses. On what basis can you not compete? Your statuses really are greater than this imperial daughter and Princess Wu Yang's! "
This was called giving others a taste of their own medicine! Not only were those people rendered speechless, but they were also secretly shocked. Yet at this time, the Empress also interjected: "This One also feels that watching horse racing is a good idea."
What else could they say? This was no longer a matter of whether they wanted to or not. It was a matter of following the imperial decree or not. As a result, everyone stood up and echoed: "The Empress is right."
Since this was the case, then let's go to the horse track!
Thus, everyone once again left the main venue of the Hundred Flower Banquet and walked towards the horse track.
During this time, some of the young misses couldn't help but worry: "What should we do? I'm wearing a skirt today. How can I ride a horse like this? "
Someone immediately said helplessly: "Who isn't wearing a skirt today?"
"But I don't know how to ride a horse! I've never ridden one before! "
"Who knows how to ride a horse? Who has ridden one before! "
"Then what should we do?"
Everyone was silent for a while. Then someone came up with an idea: "There are so many of us. We can't all go to horse racing. The horse track can't possibly have that many horses for us to use, right? When the time comes, we won't make a sound and no one will take the initiative. She won't be able to force us onto a horse. "
This idea was reliable, thus everyone thought to themselves that they would walk slower and slower. It would be best if they stayed far away from Princess Ji 'an. It would be best if she could not see them.
Among the crowd, Feng Fen Dai was naturally among them. Some people wanted to ask her for some insider information, but they were all sent away by Feng Fen Dai's "I don't know." But everyone could see that this younger sister of Princess Ji 'an, the fourth young miss of the Feng manor, was also in a very bad mood.
Someone recalled: "Didn't the Feng family's fourth young miss rely on dancing to win the fifth prince's heart? Thinking about it, being said like that by her own sister, she must be feeling quite uncomfortable, right? "
Of course, Feng Fen Dai was feeling uncomfortable. Others might not know about the relationship between her and Feng Yu Heng, but how could she not be clear about it! Not to mention that Feng Yu Heng's earlier words were not aimed at her, but even if they were aimed at her, it could not be any more normal. The two sisters had already developed to the point where they were just short of taking action. What was this bit of shouting? But what Fen Dai was worried about was … "Say, in a while, Feng Yu Heng won't call for me to go on stage, right?" She quietly asked Dong Ying, who was at her side, "I don't know how to ride a horse, and she has always had a grudge against me. It's hard to guarantee that she won't embarrass me at this sort of time."
Dong Ying thought for a bit then comforted her, saying: "As this servant sees it, she won't. Although the second young miss is not close in the manor, outside, as long as we do not take the initiative to provoke her, she will still protect the Feng family's face. She will still protect some of our shortcomings. "
"I hope so!" Fen Dai was not optimistic in the slightest. She had been tidied up by Feng Yu Heng on the outside not just once or twice. When had that person ever cared about the Feng family? When had she ever cared about kinship?
Everyone walked for almost an hour before arriving at the horse track. The Empress and the imperial concubines were sitting in carriages, so they were naturally not tired, but these madams and young misses had it hard. They had not even ridden a horse, and just walking caused them to be like this. Their legs and stomachs were trembling, how would they ride a horse later?
Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tiange were the first to arrive at the horse track. Following them were the Empress and the others, then Xiangrong, the Yao family's madams, as well as some madams and young misses who were neutral. But when they looked further back, well, those timid ones were all moving slowly from afar. There was a large distance between them.
Feng Yu Heng did not pay any attention to them, only caring about picking a horse with Xuan Tiange. The two picked a good horse each then got on without another word, their movements clean and efficient.
Although Xuan Tiange did not know martial arts, the ability to ride a horse was something that the imperial family learned from a young age. Naturally, she would not be at a disadvantage.
When the two sat on the horse and looked back, those people who were moving slowly finally arrived at the horse track, but they still stopped from afar, not willing to go forward no matter what was said.
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled: "Why are you standing so far away? Horses don't eat people, what are you afraid of? "
Bah!
Who's afraid of being eaten by a horse! The people endlessly cursed in their hearts; however, nobody dared to say it out loud.
Feng Yu Heng looked at their useless appearances and was not in a rush. She just slowly reached into her sleeve. Not long later, she pulled out a book.
"Since none of you will take the initiative to come forward, this imperial daughter can only use an even more direct method to invite everyone to participate in this competition. Then next, we will call out names! "
