Xu shi had said this in front of practically all the women in the capital, and she had done it in a place like Jingtsu Temple. This was equivalent to representing the Yao family's position. Moreover, the other two madams of the Yao family were standing at her side, and they also nodded in agreement. This sudden reversal of the situation caused people to be extremely surprised.
Breaking up at the drop of a hat and reconciling at the drop of a hat, the Yao family was too flexible! Everyone sighed. At the time, because Princess Ji 'an and her mother had fallen out, the Yao family was the first to stand up for Yao shi, pushing aside Feng Yu Heng. How was it that in just a few months, the situation had changed? The grudges between the two families no longer mattered?
While they were puzzled, someone recalled the matter of Yao shi leaving the capital, thus they began to speak with reason: "It must be said that the Yao family must have pushed aside Princess Ji 'an in the beginning. After all, Yao shi is the daughter of divine doctor Yao Xian. No matter what, a daughter should be closer than a granddaughter, right! The Yao and Feng families are mortal enemies. Princess Ji 'an has half the blood of the Feng family. Just based on this point, the Yao family's falling out with her could not have been faked. "
Everyone agreed with this, but it was because they agreed too much that they were puzzled by Yao shi's current actions.
That person continued: "But a daughter is a daughter. You've all heard about the matter of Yao shi running away, right? She did not run away alone. She also brought along an adopted daughter that looks very similar to Princess Ji 'an. This is still not much. Most importantly, at the same time that she ran away, Feng Jin Yuan also ran away. With this happening one after the other, it's hard to say whether or not the two had agreed to run away together. This is not something that the Yao family can tolerate! "
With her saying this, someone immediately followed up: "That's right, that's right. Those two ran away together. Who doesn't know about this matter! Feng Jin Yuan went missing, and the Feng family's fourth young miss caused a ruckus in the capital. I personally saw her cursing in the streets because of this matter. Also, our fathers are all officials in the capital. We can more or less hear about this matter. Yao shi and Feng Jin Yuan ran away with that adopted daughter. I heard that they went to the South. "
"This is it!" The person from before continued: "The Yao and Feng families are like fire and water. Now that Yao shi has made this choice, it means that she has already abandoned her maternal family's face. Then why would the Yao family become enemies with Princess Ji An for her? You have to know that having a princess as a granddaughter is a great bargain for the Yao family. "
The people's voices weren't loud, but they weren't whispering either. Feng Yu Heng more or less heard the gist of it. She saw Xu shi nod slightly and whisper, "That's a good reason." Then he smiled and raised his voice, "After this new year, our family's Heng Zheng will be fifteen years old in a few months. It's time for her to have her coming-of-age ceremony. We have already discussed it with the Imperial Palace Yu. The coming-of-age ceremony will be held together with the marriage. That is to say, our Heng Heng will be getting married very quickly. She will be marrying into the Imperial Palace Yu and will be His Ninth Highness' official princess. " While she spoke, she patted Feng Yu Heng's hand and said: "Heng Heng, don't worry. Your grandfather and uncles have already spoken. They will definitely hold a grand wedding for you. It definitely cannot be a loss of your status as an imperial daughter."
Feng Yu Heng knew that this was definitely because her grandfather, Yao Xian, had spoken to these aunts before entering the palace. The Yao family no longer wanted to remain aloof and pretended to break off relations with her. Rather than their loved ones becoming strangers, they would rather get involved in this chaotic world and fight by her side.
When she realized all of this, her heart was filled with emotions. In the past, she had wholeheartedly thought that she shouldn't implicate others with the trouble she had caused, especially those who had treated her well. At the same time, she was also afraid that someone with ulterior motives would use these relatives to threaten her. But she had only thought of protecting them and neglected the fact that they were willing to go through thick and thin with her. Now that the Yao family had expressed their stance and suddenly made this kind of decision without discussing it with her, it could be seen that the Yao family's heart was firm and that they valued her as their granddaughter and niece. She couldn't help but feel moved.
"Alright." Feng Yu Heng finally opened her mouth and responded to Xu shi. She said: "Then I'll have to trouble the three aunts to worry about this. No matter what, Heng Zheng will always be a daughter of the Yao family. This will never change."
On this side, there was a magnificent meeting of relatives. Everyone who saw and heard knew that the Yao family and Princess Ji An had reconciled. At the same time, they also knew that Feng Yu Heng was almost fifteen years old and was about to become of marriageable age. And on the day she became of marriageable age, she would be marrying His Ninth Highness. For the capital, this was a big matter. For a moment, there was a lot of discussion. There were even some women who were still silently in love with Xuan Tianming and were unwilling to give up on him. They also cast hateful gazes towards Feng Yu Heng.
But this proved the saying: I just like to see you hate me but can't get rid of me!
She, Feng Yu Heng, was Xuan Tianming's fated wife. No one could change that.
Seeing the people begin to talk in groups of three or four, Feng Yu Heng no longer deliberately put on an act. Instead, Xu shi's three aunts surrounded her and grabbed her arms. They were very close. Feng Yu Heng was helpless. She knew that these aunts were all daughter lovers. Seeing her was no different from seeing a national treasure. But she still needed to be very warm. Fortunately, she did not reject this sort of warmth. The group chatted and laughed, and it was very lively.
With great difficulty, they managed to calm down. Xu shi pulled Feng Yu Heng and quietly asked: "On Feng Jin Yuan's side, did you send people to chase after him?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "I did not."
The three aunts were puzzled, "Why did you not chase after him? Could it be that you want to just watch them go to the South and live their lives there? You must know that the Eighth Prince was able to establish a small court. It's enough to see that it's a place with high mountains and far away from the Emperor. If the three of them are allowed to become successful there, when the time comes, the people in the South will only recognize that person as imperial daughter. They will steal your contributions and give them to the Eighth Prince. What would that be like? "
Xu shi's worries were also shared by many people. Even Ren Xi Feng, who had been at Feng Yu Heng's side, said: "That's right, Heng Heng, you need to think carefully. Right before we came, my father had me ask you. If you need help, he can secretly send a letter to his former subordinates to have them kidnap him from the South. That way, they won't be able to cause trouble everywhere. "
Feng Yu Heng knew that they all had good intentions, but she still shook her head, saying: "If I do as they say, I will be chasing after them. Sooner or later, I will be played around in circles. This time, I will kidnap them. Next time, they will come up with other tricks. Although we will not be able to take advantage of them, it will be too passive for us. I, Feng Yu Heng, have never been a passive person. I have never wanted to be led by the nose. That's why if the three of them want to go to the South, let them go. If they want to live as a family of three, let them go. I will not dismantle this game of chess, nor will I break it; however, I want to add fuel to the fire. Do they want to live a happy life as a fake? I will let them live a very wonderful life. If they want to court death, no one can stop them. "
Hearing Feng Yu Heng's words, the people around her also let out a sigh of relief. Xu shi said: "You know what to do, so we can rest assured. These days, your maternal grandfather has been very angry because of you. Heng, in the future, you should come to our side more often and accompany your maternal grandfather. He is getting older year by year, so accompanying him for one day is one day less."
Xu shi's words immediately pulled Feng Yu Heng back to reality. She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake for a long time. She only thought that her grandfather had transmigrated and returned to her side, so that she could have a chance to taste the familial affection that she had not tasted enough in her previous life. But she had forgotten that in this life, Yao Xian was already in his later years. Just as Xu shi had said, one day spent accompanying him was one day less. Yet she was wasting the reunion of the grandfather and grandson for no reason. This was really …
"Silly child." Xu shi saw the annoyance on Feng Yu Heng's face and couldn't help feeling distressed, "Your maternal grandfather doesn't blame you. This world is not good, and we can only blame ourselves for being born in this kind of family. Ai, if it was the common people, their days would be much happier. "
Everyone understood this logic. For a moment, no one spoke. Fortunately, Fang Yi also came out at this time and called everyone to enter the main hall to give the Empress a New Year's greeting. Then the people stopped talking, and went into the temple noisily.
On the first day of the New Year, the officials gave the Emperor a New Year's greeting. The womenfolk had to give their greetings to the Empress. This was the rule every year. Of course, at the same time, they also had to give their own gifts. The gifts that the womenfolk gave to the Empress were easier to choose. It was nothing more than some rare jewels, jade, Buddha jewelry, and the like. Including Feng Yu Heng, there was nothing too special. She only had people bring in the best jade from the mine and polish it into a ruyi. As for that jade mine of hers, the harvest from this New Year was quite bountiful. There were too many people who knew about the roots of that jade mine. They all knew that there would be good materials. All of them went to choose very early, earning a lot.
After giving the Empress the New Year's greeting, some people stayed behind to chat with the Empress. The majority of people returned to their courtyards to admire the lanterns and scenery, waiting for Fei Cui Hall to call them over. Xuan Tian Ge also came out of the hall, pulling Feng Yu Heng over to a row of lanterns, appreciating them happily.
Places with women were more troublesome. What women loved to do the most was to gossip. No matter how beautiful the scenery and lanterns were in this courtyard, it could not beat their passion for gossip. Very quickly, Feng Yu Heng heard someone say: "Have you heard? His Highness the Eighth Prince has returned to the capital. "
Someone immediately agreed excitedly: "Of course I've heard. He came back on the night of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. He entered the city from the southern city gate with a very long group of carriages. It was very impressive."
The one who spoke was a young girl. She looked to be around 13 or 14 years old. Feng Yu Heng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the young girl's face turned red when the Eighth Prince was mentioned. And someone immediately laughed at her: "Speak honestly, did he go to the city gate to stand guard?"
Once this was mentioned, that young girl became shy again, but she immediately said: "It was not just me. Many people went! His Highness the Eighth Prince did not sit in the carriage at that time. He rode a horse. That style, if you did not go to see it, you will regret it for the rest of your lives. "
The sisters at the side laughed loudly again. Some praised His Highness the Eighth Prince along with others. There were also some who said that no matter how elegant he was, it was none of their business. They could not think about it. There were even some people who only thought about the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince and did not care about the Eighth Prince at all. At this time, that smitten young girl said something again, but it caused Feng Yu Heng's heart to be filled with doubt: "The Eighth Prince is really impressive. Just the carriages entering the city are lined up like a long dragon. We counted, there are 20 carriages! "
