Feng Yu Heng realized that there might be a problem with the clothes, but these clothes were made for her by Xu shi. She did not doubt Xu shi in the slightest, so where exactly did the problem lie?
Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow and thought for a while. She did not even pay attention to Xuan Tian Ge and Xiang Rong speaking to her, only saying: "I am going to speak with eldest aunty for a while. You two go ahead first." After saying this, she turned around and headed back.
She wanted to look back, but Xuan Tian Ge tugged at her: "Let's go. Your second sister will always have her own ideas when doing things. If we follow her, we will just cause trouble for her."
When Feng Yu Heng arrived at Xu shi's side, Xu shi was tugging at Lu Yao and saying: "Heavenly Hall is not like the imperial garden. In the end, it is a place where the madams and young misses gather. The rules are a bit more relaxed. Heavenly Hall has officials, princes and his Majesty. We need to think a bit more about what we say and do. Remember, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. Regardless of what others say, we need to take care of our own mouths. "
Lu Yao was very obedient and nodded, saying: "Daughter-in-law will remember mother's teachings."
Xu shi said: "It can't be considered teachings. It's just a reminder."
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spoke, Qin shi and the Miao Clan hid to the side. Of course, they were not estranged from Xu shi. It was just that they did not like Lu Yao.
Seeing Feng Yu Heng arrive, Xu shi patted Lu Yao's arm, "Go and speak with your sisters. I saw that you did not have a chance to greet them after entering the palace. It's not good for me to keep holding your hand. Go ahead! "
Lu Yao glanced at Feng Yu Heng and nodded. She then smiled to Xu shi and said: "Many thanks mother for understanding. Then daughter-in-law will go and speak with my sisters. I will come back to take care of mother in a while." After saying this, she bowed and slowly retreated.
Only then did Xu shi warmly pick up Feng Yu Heng and ask: "Heng Heng, is something the matter? I saw that you and Palace Princess Wu Yang were walking happily, and it seemed that you suddenly came over. "
Feng Yu Heng comforted her. It was not a big deal. She just thought that she could not leave her aunt behind. It was better for her to come and accompany her.
The two of them talked for a while. Feng Yu Heng deliberately led the topic to the clothes. She pretended to be careless and said, "Aunt's needlework is really good. Even Princess Wuyang praised this dress and said it was beautiful."
When Xu shi heard these words, she immediately said: "I also spent a lot of time embroidering these clothes. I was afraid that you wouldn't like it. But to be honest, the young ladies of the various families are all competing in beauty today, and I feel that this dress is still somewhat lacking. I'm afraid it's not suitable for your status. "
Feng Yu Heng said, "You don't feel wronged. Clothes made by family members are a form of familial love. This has nothing to do with status. Aunt also knows about the Feng family's situation. There's also that mother of mine … if it was not for aunt taking care of her, I fear that Heng would never be able to wear clothes made by family members in this lifetime. "
When she mentioned Yao shi, Xu shi was also helpless. The two sighed for a while, as Feng Yu Heng continued: "At first, I was worried that Lu Yao would be jealous of the clothes that were made by aunty, but just now, I saw that she was very polite when speaking with aunty. Only then did I feel at ease."
Xu shi smiled bitterly, "When I was embroidering these clothes, didn't she see it? She asked me who I was embroidering it for. Hearing that it was for you, she went to help. " Xu shi had always been a kind person. If she could avoid thinking about other people's bad points, she would do her best to not think about them. Although she had always held a grudge against Lu Yao, when it came to the things that Lu Yao did well, she would not be stingy with her praise. "Based on her enthusiasm, I thought that she might also be regretting the matter with Xiangrong before the wedding and feel bad about it."
Feng Yu Heng did not say anything. She was not a complete conspiracy theorist, but there were some facts that were placed before her. If she did not wake up now, she would be an idiot. There was something wrong with these clothes. She no longer had any doubts, and this problem was definitely related to Lu Yao.
She accompanied Xu shi and chatted for a while before finding an excuse to leave. Right before leaving, she took a look at Lu Yao and Lu Yan. Although the two sisters were walking together, they did not interact in the slightest. From time to time, Lu Yan would look at Lu Yao with a look of disdain.
Very quickly, the female guests arrived at Heavenly Hall's entrance. The Empress also knew that the madams and young misses that had just ridden horses were not very proper. Fearing that they would offend the Emperor, she allowed the palace servants to bring them to the inner hall to tidy up. Feng Yu Heng also used this opportunity to leave for the time being. Finding a place with no one around, she quickly hid inside her space.
The clothes were very quickly removed by her. Looking carefully, she found that there was nothing strange about the back of her neck, but when she touched it with her hand, she found that there seemed to be something inside the collar. Before wearing these clothes, she had not carefully inspected them. It was all because they had been sent by Xu shi. Her trust in them caused her to lose the caution that she should have had. She even forgot that Lu Yao was currently living in the Yao family's residence.
Feng Yu Heng immediately used a pair of scissors to remove the collar. It would have been fine if she did not remove it, but once she removed it, she suddenly found that there really was something inside the collar.
But speaking of, the thing that caused the itch was not much. It was just a few hairs that had been plucked from a weasel hair brush. But the thing that caused her to feel pain was actually countless tiny needles! It was not hard to see that the needles had all come from extremely thin embroidery needles. Counting carefully, there were actually 20 of them.
Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow. Although these things were not fatal, they could cause a person to feel very uncomfortable. It was such that she could not bear to make a fool of herself at this banquet. Aside from this, the clothes were made by Xu shi. As long as she had the slightest intention of being at odds with the Yao family, Xu shi's guilt would be unavoidable. Lu Yao, oh Lu Yao! You really did have a good idea.
She threw the clothes to the ground, as a look of anger appeared on her beautiful face. It seemed that she had been too benevolent to Lu Yao. There were some people that would not shed tears until they saw the coffin. She had tolerated her time and time again because of Yao Shu; however, who knew that her tolerance would be met with her being exterminated. A fierce look flashed through Feng Yu Heng's eyes. Lu Yao, she no longer had any intentions of letting that woman go!
She changed into the clothes that she had prepared in her space. When she came out of the space, there was nobody around. Feng Yu Heng quickly headed toward Heavenly Hall.
At the same time, a woman who had arrived late was led by a young eunuch to the boundary of the Heavenly Palace. The young eunuch had a puzzled look on his face, but he was extremely courteous to the woman. When the woman said, "You can go back first. I'll go in myself." The young eunuch didn't think much of it as he bowed and left.
As for the girl, she did not enter Heavenly Hall. Instead, she went around to the side yard of the hall. She then stopped in front of a rock garden and held her chest while panting.
Was this the Imperial Palace? Fu Ya looked at Heavenly Hall, which was not too far away. The music from that side could still be heard clearly. From time to time, there would be palace servants and dancers moving back and forth in front of the hall. It was very lively.
Fu Ya was very nervous. This was her first time entering the Imperial Palace, and she had only come because of Yao shi's instigation. The bit of confidence that she had developed outside the Imperial Palace had been completely destroyed at this moment. She had come late. When she entered the palace, she heard the servants in the imperial garden say that everyone had gone to the horse track, thus she rushed over. But after arriving at the horse track, she heard that the Empress had brought everyone to Heavenly Hall. She immediately found a palace servant to lead her over to Heavenly Hall. For some reason, the eunuch was very respectful when he saw her. There was even a bit of respect and fear. In the beginning, Fu Ya thought that it was because she had been able to enter the palace that the eunuchs felt that her status was high, thus they acted this way. But later on, she realized that this was not the case. The reason that they respected her and feared her was because she truly looked too much like Feng Yu Heng. Because these eunuchs had seen Feng Yu Heng and the clothes that she was wearing at the horse track, they did not immediately make a mistake. But in the end, they were stunned and did not dare acknowledge her, nor did they dare offend her.
Fu Ya sent the palace servant away and did not dare enter the hall. She found this garden to rest for a while. The Imperial Palace was truly too large. She had rushed from the Rui Gate to the imperial garden, then from the imperial garden to the horse track, and then from the horse track to the Heavenly Hall. She did not stop walking, and she was so tired that she was half dead. If she went into the hall like this, it would be too improper.
Fu Ya had planned to rest for a while, but unexpectedly, before she could even take a few breaths, she saw a girl walk by the side of the garden. She looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old and was wearing a pink dress. She was very beautiful. The woman inadvertently swept her gaze over the garden and saw Fu Ya. She was given a fright when she looked over. She suddenly trembled and stopped in her tracks.
Fu Ya's heart was in her throat as she watched the girl walk closer to her. She then looked her over before staring at her. After a long time, she asked in confusion: "Ji … Princess Ji 'an? You changed your clothes? " Thinking a bit more, Feng Yu Heng had also been riding a horse. There were too many people in the palace that she recognized. Changing her clothes was normal. Only then did she feel at ease and happily salute: "Greetings, imperial daughter. Why is imperial daughter standing here? Are you not going into the hall?" Strange, she had spoken with Feng Yu Heng for a while before, so why did she feel so unfamiliar now? It was as if she had become a different person, but this did not make sense. This was clearly Feng Yu Heng's face.
Lu Yan was extremely puzzled, but she did not show it on her face. She warmly chatted with Fu Ya for a while, but the more they chatted, the more awkward it became. She had been speaking the entire time, but the girl that she had called Princess Ji 'an had turned from a confused expression to one of helplessness. She had heard her, but she did not respond in the slightest. Her personality was far too different from Feng Yu Heng's. Although Feng Yu Heng did not give face to people that she looked down on, she was still able to put up with it.
Gradually, Lu Yan began to feel that something was not quite right. Looking carefully at the person in front of her, she very quickly found that she seemed to be a bit thinner than Feng Yu Heng. She was also a bit taller, and her hair was tied up differently. Her makeup was also different. Even if Feng Yu Heng had time to change her clothes, it was impossible for her to have combed her hair, changed her accessories, and redone her makeup in just a few hours. This was too strange.
Her expression became serious. Finally, a bold idea formed in her mind: "You're not Princess Ji 'an?"
Fu Ya helplessly said: "I never said that I was Princess Ji 'an."
"Then why have you not refuted what I've been saying to you for so long?"
"You've been saying it the entire time. I couldn't even get a word in edgewise, so how could I refute?"
Lu Yan was greatly alarmed, but she suddenly recalled something. She had once eavesdropped on a conversation between her father and mother, and they seemed to have mentioned that a girl that looked extremely similar to Princess Ji 'an had appeared in the capital. She had been mistaken by the half-crazy Yao shi for her own daughter and had been taken to live in another residence …
"You …" Lu Yan hesitantly asked: "You are her?"
