Just like that, Gu Shu had been labeled as "ignorant." Heavens knew that the fragrances of the past really had been fought over by everyone in Dashun's harem! She just could not understand. Just where had this Princess Ji An obtained such a stunning perfume? There was also that bottle. She could not make sense of it.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng spoke once more: "The princess of Gu Shu has also personally appraised it. Our Dashun has such a good thing, so why would we want your thousand-fragrance perfume?"
The princess of Gu Shu was speechless.
Feng Yu Heng smiled then turned to face Emperor Tianwu and said: "Father Emperor, it is not easy for Heng Heng to make this perfume. Not many can be successfully made each year, but from this day forward, I am willing to give some to the imperial concubines of the harem during the new year. It's fine if we don't have Gu Shu's perfume."
Hearing her words, the imperial concubines all smiled from ear to ear. With the empress leading the way, they nodded. Without waiting for Emperor Tianwu to speak, the empress said: "That is natural. With the perfume personally made by Heng Heng Heng, what would we want Gu Shu's things for?" After saying this, she turned to the princess of Gu Shu and said: "Seventh princess, do not blame this One for speaking too much. If you people of Gu Shu like that thousand-fragrance perfume, you can bring it back and make it for yourselves. However, that sort of thing with musk in it cannot be used in Dashun. I trust that none of the madams and young misses here would dare to take the risk of exchanging their children for the fragrance, right? "
Everyone heard this and nodded in agreement: "Naturally, we wouldn't dare. Naturally, we wouldn't dare."
The empress said with satisfaction: "It's good that you can understand this reasoning." She then looked at the princess of Gu Shu and said: "Seventh princess, return to the South tomorrow. This One will send someone to send you back. This time, Gu Shu did not formally hand over a letter of credence for your visit to Dashun. Like this, it can be considered a private visit. Forgive Dashun for not staying for long. You must be careful along the way, especially that thousand-fragrance perfume. You must protect it well. Do not leave a single drop within Dashun's borders. "
Towards the end, the Empress' expression had already become cold. Gu Shu's seventh princess was not stupid and knew that this was an order for her to leave. Thus, she nodded and returned to her seat after bowing.
Feng Yu Heng also didn't stay on the stage any longer. At this time, the people who were hiding outside also returned to the hall. The singing and dancing continued.
She walked back to the table and purposely walked around the princess of Gu Shu's table. The princess of Gu Shu angrily gritted her teeth and glared angrily. Hatred was written all over her face. Feng Yu Heng did not care and acted as if she did not see anything as she brushed past her. However, a cold voice entered the princess' ears: "What? Hate me? "
The princess of Gu Shu did not avoid the topic and said: "I wish I could strangle you to death."
Feng Yu Heng laughed, "You're not the only one who wants to strangle me, but it seems that it's not your turn yet. Let's wait a little longer!"
With a bottle of Dior perfume, Feng Yu Heng had once again saved Dashun some face. The people could no longer remember how many times Princess Ji 'an had saved Dashun's face. They just knew that with this imperial daughter present, no matter how bad of a situation Dashun was in, it would not be a hopeless situation.
It was very clear that Emperor Tianwu was also thinking this way, thus he raised his cup and raised it in Feng Yu Heng's direction. Feng Yu Heng quickly stood up and respectfully drank with Emperor Tianwu.
In the eyes of the officials and the majority of the madams and young misses in the capital, this scene was not considered much; however, there was a small group of people that had come from out of the province that were unhappy, especially the women that were good at sowing discord. There were already people that began to urge Feng Fen Dai "Fourth young miss Feng, has Princess Ji 'an ever given you that sort of perfume?"
Fen Dai snorted coldly, "How could that be possible. That is something that only imperial concubines can afford to use."
"Hah! Although you say it like that, no one else has a share. You are her younger sister, so how could you not have a share? "
Fen Dai was already extremely jealous, and she was greedy. Hearing these people sowing discord, she immediately felt that things were not fair. Yet there were some people that did not fear things getting out of hand and continued to encourage her, saying: "Sisters should help each other out. She currently has a high position, but we have been in the capital for a few days, yet we have heard that the Feng family is in dire straits. It can be seen that she does not have you in her heart. Hah, I really feel sad for fourth young miss Feng. "
With Fen Dai being said this, the anger in her heart surged once more. But what could they do even if they were to flee? She had too much experience in dealing with Feng Yu Heng, and it was all experience of failure, especially in this sort of situation. No matter how angry she was, she still remembered that she could not take the initiative to offend that second sister. Otherwise, she would not be able to bear the consequences. In Feng Yu Heng's heart, there was no such thing as the Feng family or younger sister. The only one she recognized was Feng Xiang Rong.
Fen Dai thought like this; however, she recalled that it was possible that Xiang Rong already had that sort of perfume. She could not help but feel even more unreconciled.
In the main seat of the hall, Emperor Tianwu was sitting leisurely. That play just now had been played to his heart's content. Thinking back to it, he still felt that it was very enjoyable.
Zhang Yuan stood to the side. Seeing his smug appearance, he could not help but pour cold water on him: "What is there to be smug about? If it was not for Princess Ji An bringing a bottle of perfume into the palace today, who knows how this situation would have been resolved! "
Tianwu waved his hand and said very confidently: "Don't worry. As long as that Heng girl is here, there is nothing she can say that will cause Us to be put on the spot."
"Why are you so confident?" Zhang Yuan was helpless. But thinking about it, in that sort of situation just now, if that princess of Gu Shu was not taught a lesson, the one who would be put on the spot would not be Emperor Tianwu. It would be the entire Dashun! Therefore, he felt emotional. Indeed, as long as Princess Ji An was here, all problems would be easily solved.
The singing and dancing of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet continued. In reality, the singing and dancing were just for show. Behind the singing and dancing were the conversations and cooperation between the people. Tianwu acted as if he was listening to the singing and watching the dancing; however, he did not miss out on any of the conversations between the officials and others. Every single scene was seen by him. He did not even miss out on a single expression that could convey the emotions of the people conversing with him. The banquet was just a test. He needed to know what sort of intentions these officials of his had.
"Heng Heng." Xuan Tiange walked around the banquet. When she returned to Feng Yu Heng's side, she whispered to her: "I just saw the head madam of the Yao family leave the hall with Lu Yao."
"Hm?" Feng Yu Heng did not notice it. Just now, there were a few young misses that had taken the initiative to chat with her. She was busy socializing and really did not notice anything else.
Xuan Tiange continued: "But it looks quite normal. It's just the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law going out for a walk. The banquet has been going on for a long time, and the people are unable to sit still. Her Highness the Empress already said that if the madams and young misses are unable to sit still and wish to walk around the palace, there are a few gardens that they can visit. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded. She wanted to say that it was fine, but she felt a little uneasy. After thinking for a while, she turned around and looked at the banquet. She saw that the eldest young miss of the Lu Family, Lü Ping, had also stood up and nodded to her. She then walked out with her maidservant.
Feng Yu Heng suddenly stood up and gave Xuan Tiange a fright. She said: "I also feel a little bored. Tiange, how about we also go out for a walk?"
Xuan Tiange agreed, "That's fine. I've been bored out of my mind for a long time." As the two spoke, they walked out. Huang Quan and Xuan Tiange's maidservant quickly followed. When they passed by Feng Zhao Lian, they saw that he was hugging a young miss' shoulder and loudly saying: "Beauty! As I see it, there isn't a single young master in this hall that is worthy of you! "This caused that young miss to smile brightly.
Just as the group left Heavenly Hall, before they could discuss where to go, they saw a palace maid quickly run in the direction of the hall. When she arrived at the entrance, she happened to see Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tiange. Without any time to salute, she quickly went over and said: "Princess, imperial daughter, quickly, quickly go to the lotus pond to take a look! The Yao family's eldest madam and young madam have both fallen into the water! "
"What?" Feng Yu Heng was extremely shocked. She felt that something would happen when Lu Yao and Xu shi came out together; however, she never thought that it would happen so quickly. "Lead the way." She made a prompt decision and had the palace maid lead the way. Together with Xuan Tiange, she lifted her dress and ran toward the lotus pond.
The lotus pond was not far from Heavenly Hall. The group arrived very quickly and saw that there were quite a few people ahead. They were all madams and young misses that had come out for a stroll. At this time, there was a young miss that was shouting: "Quickly go and call some eunuchs. We are all girls. None of us know how to swim. We can't save them!"
Someone said: "A palace maid has already gone to call them, but after calling for a long time, they still haven't come!"
Feng Yu Heng frowned. The palace was filled with palace maids and eunuchs. Why was it that there was not a single eunuch at the lotus pond? They could not even be called? Could it be that someone had sent them away ahead of time?
She charged through the crowd and immediately saw Xu shi and Lu Yao struggling in the lotus pond. Someone saw her and quickly said: "Imperial daughter, don't rush. The water in the lotus pond is not deep. At most, it's up to your neck."
But someone else said: "Although the water is not deep, there are a lot of aquatic plants. Look at madam's appearance. It's clear that her feet have been caught by something. Even if she wanted to stand, she could not."
"What's the point of standing up!" Another young miss stomped her foot, "It's true that the water is up to your neck, but do you know that it's all mud down there? Who can stand up? If you step into the mud, won't you still sink down! "
Feng Yu Heng was a little anxious, especially when she saw Xu shi look at her for help. She became even more anxious. It was at this time that Lu Yao, who was still struggling in the water, loudly said to her: "Younger sister Heng, younger sister Heng, save us! Quickly save us! "She shouted and shouted; however, she no longer had any strength. The water gradually disappeared, and there was no more sound. Xu shi, who was at her side, saw this and wanted to pull her up, but she was unable to exert any strength. Her body also began to sink.
Feng Yu Heng also wanted to save them, but even if she had all sorts of abilities, there was one drawback. She did not know how to swim! Not only did she not know how to swim, but her maidservant, Huang Quan, was also not very good at swimming. Although she had trained hard, in the end, she did not have any good results.
But now that the situation had happened so suddenly, Huang Quan could not worry too much. While Lu Yao was shouting for her, she began to remove her outer robe and was about to jump into the river.
But before she could do anything, a figure suddenly jumped out from the crowd. Immediately following this, a "plunk" sound could be heard, as a girl jumped into the lotus pond.
