This Eunuch's sharp voice caused everyone present to become confused.
What was this? Letting 28 go? Wasn't it hunting? When did it change to rescue hunting?
But there were also people who said: "Indeed, only His Highness the Seventh Prince would do something like this!"
These thoughts very quickly resonated with the others, thus they glanced at Xuan Tian Hua a few more times. Slowly, they began to feel that for this matter to happen to Xuan Tian Hua, it could only be considered a very normal thing. Therefore, one by one, with their conscience, they started to praise him: "His Highness the Seventh Prince is really benevolent! I admire him! I admire him! "
But Xuan Tianhua only smiled and did not give any response. When the people stopped speaking, he took a few steps back and said to Emperor Tianwu: "Father Emperor, This Son has not hunted any small animals and will not fight with my elder brothers."
The Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi glanced at him and said with a bitter expression: "If it was not for Old Seventh causing trouble, I could have shot more."
Tianwu snorted, "You're already first, what else do you want?" After saying this, he very unhappily took a jade ruyi that was prepared long ago from the Empress' hands, then handed it to Zhang Yuan: "This is the reward for shooting first today, go, give it to him!"
Ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival's banquet, the Emperor would occasionally allow the fourth prince to come out and get some fresh air, but he still had some misgivings about the matter of Xuan Tian Yi and Xuan Tian Ye forcing him to abdicate. That was why his attitude was not very good, and he was also unwilling to hand over the jade ruyi that represented the victor.
But Xuan Tianyi did not think much of it, acting as if he did not see Emperor Tianwu's indifference. After receiving the jade ruyi, he knelt down very seriously and kowtowed to express his gratitude. Then he stood up, but turned around and walked towards the group of young misses.
His actions caused everyone to be confused, but Xuan Tiange tugged at Feng Yu Heng's sleeve and said: "Quickly look, quickly look, he must have gone to look for Xiangrong."
Feng Yu Heng naturally also saw the other party's goal. The direction that Xuan Tianyi was walking in happened to be where Xiangrong was sitting. Very quickly, the two were standing face to face, and Xuan Tianyi held the jade ruyi in his hand forward, saying: "Master Xiangrong, keep it. We agreed that if we win today, the reward will be given to you as a gift to thank you for being my teacher."
These words caused Xiang Rong's face to turn red all the way to her neck. For a while, she did not know what she should do. Feeling embarrassed, she rolled her eyes at Xuan Tian Yi in anger. She even gritted her teeth and quietly said: "Are you crazy? Who told you to give it to me at this time? Can't you go back and give it to me secretly? "
Yet Xuan Tianyi did not care about such trifles, saying in a clear voice: "Hah! You are my embroidery master, and I want to give you a gift to thank you. Why do I have to choose now and when I go back? Since I've taken it, I naturally need to give it to you. Quickly accept it. The things given by Father Emperor are very good. " While saying this, he carefully looked at the jade handle and added: "It's the best quality jade. You've really profited. Quickly take it."
Xiang Rong was so angry that she really wanted to kick him, but she still managed to hold back. Snatching the ruyi, she quietly said: "Quickly scram a little further away."
"I'll scram now, I'll scram now." Xuan Tianyi was in a good mood, happily walking back to the group of princes. He did not explain himself to anyone. That's right, his actions could not be any more normal.
As for Emperor Tianwu, he did not say anything. Instead, it was the Empress who spoke up: "The jade ruyi has already been given to His Highness the fourth prince. That is something that belongs to him. He gave it to his own master. This is very good."
Xuan Tianyi very shamelessly nodded, expressing his agreement; however, someone suddenly said: "The ruyi is something that should be given to a loved one. Could it be that His Highness the fourth prince and the Feng family's young miss …"
"Huh?" Xuan Tianyi loudly asked: "Who has such good taste?"
Xiang Rong felt that she could no longer continue to sit, but it would not be good for her to leave at this time. She simply raised her sleeve and covered her face, silently muttering to herself: "Xuan Tianyi, just you wait. Xuan Tianyi, just you wait!" But she really had not figured out what he was waiting for. She felt that kicking him a few times was not enough to vent her anger, but she could not just use a knife to cut him, right? Although at this moment, she truly felt that using a knife to cut him would be more enjoyable.
In the end, Xuan Tianyi was a prince that had been deposed. He did not even have the throne. The people were just looking for some fun. There really was not a single person that wanted to continue discussing this matter. Even if he really did have feelings for the Feng family's third young miss, that was fine. For a prince that had been deposed, marrying the daughter of a concubine from a ruined family was something that could not be more normal.
But even though the majority of the people thought this way, it did not mean that everyone thought this way. For example, Noble Lady Yuan, who had been sitting to the side with anger the entire time, asked in a bad mood: "This One … I-I remember that His Highness the fourth prince was imprisoned for life, but after just a few years, he was let out. Has that order of imprisonment been lifted?"
Once these words came out, everyone was stunned once more, thinking to themselves, had Noble Lady Yuan gone crazy? Imprisonment was something that the Emperor had said, and release was also something that the Emperor had said. Was she trying to undermine the Emperor in front of everyone? In the end, that was his own son. Could it be that he would really be locked up for life?
Who knew that before Emperor Tianwu could speak, Xuan Tianyi took the initiative to speak up, saying: "Lifted? Why would it be lifted? I have only been let out a total of two times. How could it be considered lifted? Also, I don't want to come out. Just being locked up in the Ping Palace is quite good. I won't pay attention to the outside world and will only focus on embroidering my flowers. Imperial Concubine Mother Yuan, if you are worried about whether or not I will be let out, it would be better to send me some high-quality embroidery thread. That would prevent my young master from always saying that all of the embroidery thread in her shop has been wasted by me. "
His words were spoken in a carefree manner. From the main seat, the Empress smiled and said: "Yi 'er, Yuan shi has already been demoted to noble lady, and the title of Shu has been taken away. You can no longer call her Imperial Concubine Mother."
"Oh! So quickly? " Xuan Tianyi was stunned then smiled to Noble Lady Yuan, "The situation really is unpredictable. In just the time it took to go hunting, you were demoted from the position of imperial concubine to noble lady. Tsk tsk, the world really is unpredictable! Hah, that's right, thinking about it like this, you should now be the mother of the lowest ranked prince in the palace, right? Hah, if Eighth Brother found out about this, who knows how much face he would lose. "
Noble Lady Yuan trembled with anger, as she pointed at Xuan Tianyi and said: "Don't be arrogant! Don't forget that your birth mother is still in the cold palace. What right do you have to laugh at me? "
The fourth prince's birth mother was Imperial Concubine Rui. At that time, she had feigned insanity and avoided death; however, she had been sent to the cold palace by the Empress. Xuan Tianyi had always felt that he owed his birth mother. Now that Noble Lady Yuan had brought it up, it was inevitable that he would feel unhappy. But a man's displeasure was a bit more tolerable than a woman's. He just told Noble Lady Yuan: "How could that be the same. At the very least, I no longer have any hope in myself, but eighth brother is different. Noble Lady, what do you think? "
Noble Lady Yuan was stunned. That's right, old fourth no longer had any hope. What had caused her to say this sort of thing? Even if old fourth was let out, the Dashun court could not possibly allow a prince that had tried to force the abdication to ascend to the throne. What had happened to her? If this continued, it really would affect her Mo 'er!
Noble Lady Yuan no longer spoke, silently lowering her head and ignoring everyone else.
Xuan Tianyi curled up the corners of his lips into a smile, as a cold light appeared in his eyes; however, he did not speak again.
Very quickly, Zhang Yuan represented Emperor Tianwu and announced that the first day of hunting had come to an end. He had the palace servants send the game away and prepare a feast for the night.
Only then did everyone stand up and kneel, sending off their masters with their eyes. Even Xuan Tiange left with Princess Wen Xuan. Feng Yu Heng did not join in on the fun. Bringing along her maidservant, she also stood up and prepared to return to her tent; however, while walking, she ran into the somewhat dazed Noble Lady Yuan. She then heard her maidservant, Yue Xiu, advise her: "Master, let's go back. It's too cold outside. You're so cold that you're shivering."
But Noble Lady Yuan still did not move. She just gritted her teeth and asked Yue Xiu: "Say, who should I look for to get revenge for today?"
Just as these words came out, she turned her head and found that Feng Yu Heng had already brushed past her. What she had just said happened to be heard by the other party. She could not help but be startled and subconsciously take a step back.
Feng Yu Heng did not cause her any trouble. She just smiled to her and said: "Does Noble Lady not know who to look for to get revenge on? This imperial daughter forgot to remind you earlier. The news that His Ninth Highness sent back said that it was Noble Lady who personally wrote a letter to His Highness the Eighth Prince, recommending the Lu Family's third young miss, Lu Yan. Speaking of, His Highness the Eighth Prince really is a filial son. With just a few words from his mother, he immediately carried it out. That degree of care was not lacking in the slightest. Why is it that Noble Lady has turned the tables on your own today? It must be known that from the capital to the South, it takes around two months for the news to spread. If you turn the tables now, His Highness the Eighth Prince's side will not be able to find out immediately. With both sides being delayed, many misunderstandings will occur. Who knows what sort of trouble will occur. Noble Lady, you must think carefully! "
Noble Lady Yuan was dazed from what she heard. This sort of thing had been said by the Emperor before, but why did she not know that she was the one that had started the marriage between the Eighth Prince and the Lu Family? Now, Feng Yu Heng was directly pointing out that she had written a letter to the Eighth Prince. When had this happened? Why did she not know about it?
While she was surprised, she saw a person slowly walk over. Taking a closer look, she found that it was the Lu Family's third young miss, Lu Yan. Feng Yu Heng smiled and said, "The future daughter-in-law has come to greet her mother-in-law."
After saying this, Lu Yan walked forward. Sure enough, she saluted Noble Lady Yuan deeply and sweetly said: "Yan 'er thanks Noble Lady for her grace. Thank you, Noble Lady, for being at ease. Yan' er will definitely wholeheartedly assist His Highness the Eighth Prince from this day forward. I will also properly take care of Noble Lady. I definitely will not allow you to suffer any grievances in the palace."
Just as Noble Lady Yuan was about to speak up, she heard Feng Yu Heng speak up and say to Lu Yan: "Young miss from the Lu Family, the son of a noble lady is marrying a young miss from the prime minister's manor. There's nothing for you to lower yourself to. Speaking of, it's Noble Lady that's climbing up the social ladder. "
Lu Yan was also a little dazed. She felt more and more that Feng Yu Heng was helping her, but she still could not understand why Feng Yu Heng would suddenly change her mind. It had to be known that she had been very resolute in her attitude this morning. But no matter how puzzled she was, she did not show it on her face. She just thought that Feng Yu Heng really had changed her mind and wanted to work with the Lu Family, thus she quickly thanked Feng Yu Heng and was very sincere.
The two chatted for a while longer before Lu Yan bid farewell to Noble Lady Yuan and left. Feng Yu Heng also left. Noble Lady Yuan stood in place in a daze, as she heard Yue Xiu quietly say to her: "Imperial Concubine, it seems that the Lu Family has managed to pull in Princess Ji An as a helper. For the time being, it's not good for us to take any further action. We will need to wait and see!"
