The Eighth Prince had returned to the capital and brought back 20 carriages. When these words landed in Feng Yu Heng's ears, she could not help but think about it a little more. Normally speaking, when a prince who was stationed at the border returned to the capital, unless he had family or would not be returning in the future, he would bring back more people. Otherwise, it would be some attendants at most and some experts who would follow and protect him. But attendants and experts would normally not sit in carriages. They would all ride horses. 20 carriages could fit many people.
She took this to heart and began to think about it. Xuan Tiange, who was at her side, quietly said to her: "I heard that he brought quite a few carriages into the city, but the carriages that he brought back went straight into the Sheng Palace and did not show themselves outside. But this is not considered strange. After all, it is the new year. Those carriages might not all have people sitting inside. Thinking about it, they should be good things brought back from the South. There are quite a few things that need to be taken care of in the capital. Sending some into the palace and moving around outside the palace would require quite a few items. "
Hearing Xuan Tiange explain it like this, Feng Yu Heng felt that it was reasonable, but after thinking about it a little more, she still felt that it was not that simple. But as for how it was not simple, she could not figure it out for the time being. But at this time, a few madams began to whisper in the distance. They were all covering their mouths as they spoke. She could not hear them and could not see them. Naturally, she did not know what they were talking about. But those madams would occasionally look in her direction as they spoke. Even though they were very careful, she still noticed it. Intuition told her that what they were talking about was definitely related to her; however, she did not know if it was the boring gossip in the capital or something else.
It was the young misses that were talking about that were very lively. As they chatted, they began to talk about the girls' first awakening of love. She heard one of them say: "His Highness the Eighth Prince has become more and more tasteful after training outside. His skin is a little darker and he has some stubble."
Once this was said, someone immediately teased: "Tasteful? What tasteful? Do you like that sort of smell? Speak honestly, have you taken an interest in His Highness the Eighth Prince? "
The woman who had spoken earlier blushed, obviously having been hit on the mark. But after being shy for a while, she still used her teeth to bite her lower lip. After a while, she helplessly shook her head. "My mother at home said that the princes have such noble statuses that we can't climb up to them. What's more, the Eighth Prince has a limitless future. If you really want to cling onto him, you might get into trouble in the future and implicate your family. "
His voice was not loud, but Feng Yu Heng could tell from the shape of his lips. She couldn't quite remember what the Eighth Prince looked like, but she was sure that the Xuan Family members weren't ugly. The Eighth Prince was stationed at the border, and he was in the south. He must be a little wild. It was normal for the girls to be infatuated with him.
That young lady's words caused the other young ladies to sigh as well. One of them said, "Don't say that we don't dare to count on His Highness the Eighth Prince, but who would dare to count on the other princes? My family also said that if I want to live a good life, it would be best if I don't marry into the imperial family. Although marrying into the imperial family might allow me to become rich in the future and help my maternal family gain some glory, it's always been risky. We aren't poor families to begin with. There's no need for us to take risks for the sake of greater wealth. It's best to live peacefully. "
These words caused everyone to sigh.
Feng Yu Heng, however, began to have a good impression of these young ladies. After all, ever since she had come to the Dashun court, the majority of the people she had seen were people like Feng Chen Yu and Feng Fen Dai. Most of the men were like Feng Jin Yuan, only thinking about fame and fortune. Now, however, she found that there were quite a few people who were open-minded. They only wanted peace and not wealth. In this ancient era, this sort of mindset was indeed rare.
She suddenly recalled something. At the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had promised the Lu Family's eldest young miss, Lü Ping, that she would help take care of her armpit odor. After that, she had been busy with this and that, so she had set it aside. In addition to this, a large number of things had happened during the Winter Festival. Lü Ping did not have time to worry about it. But after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had asked Wang Chuan to send a spray over. Thinking about it, it should be able to last for a while. It just so happened that she had promised madam Lu that she would go take a look at Lu Yan's illness. While she was at it, she would also go take a look at Lü Ping.
She was lost in thought and did not say anything for a while. Instead, it was Xuan Tian Ge and the others at her side that grabbed her and asked about Bai Fu Rong's situation. She recovered and quickly told them: "It's fine. She's already 90% recovered. The rest will need to be slowly nursed back to health. It will take a long time to recover. It's not something that can be recovered in a short period of time. Although the illness is fine, she cannot enter the imperial palace. After all, everyone knows that she's ill. For someone that has not appeared for half a year, it would be best if they did not come to the palace banquet at this time. "
Hearing her say that Bai Fu Rong was fine, the group let out a sigh of relief. They then began to discuss when they would visit the imperial daughter's manor to take a look. Xuan Tian Ge recalled another matter, thus she grabbed Feng Yu Heng and quietly said: "I heard that after eighth brother returned to the capital, his group entered the Sheng Palace, and he went straight into the palace. After entering the palace, he did not go to visit uncle Emperor. Instead, he went to visit Noble Lady Yuan first and gave her quite a few nice things. The two also spoke for over two hours. "
Feng Yu Heng said: "I heard long ago that His Highness the eighth prince and Noble Lady Yuan are very close. Let's not talk about how His Highness the eighth prince is as a person first, but he is a filial son and is very obedient to Noble Lady Yuan. Basically, he listens to whatever Noble Lady Yuan says."
Xuan Tian Ge snorted coldly, "What filial son or not. He's only filial to his mother. I've never seen him show much filial respect to uncle Emperor." When she spoke to this point, she sighed and continued: "Everyone wants to be the emperor, but what's so good about being the emperor? He's neither a subject nor a son. His own son treats him a bit better, but it's mostly for the sake of currying favor. There's also a goal. How much sincerity is there? Sometimes, thinking about it, I really pity uncle Emperor. I always want to go into the palace to spend more time with him, but there are times when there are many things to do in the palace, and I can't leave. "
Feng Yu Heng consoled her, saying: "That's how life is. There are gains and losses. Moreover, it doesn't seem like our Emperor is truly alone. At the very least, His Highness the seventh prince and His Ninth Highness are sincere in their treatment of him."
Xuan Tian Ge nodded and said: "That's right, that's why I like Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother. Of course, eldest brother and second brother are not bad. There's also Sixth Brother. He's actually the most filial son. It's just a pity that Noble Lady Li wants her son to have a bright future. She feels that burying oneself in books all day is not something a man should do. After all, princes do not need to take the imperial examinations. Sixth Brother had no choice but to go to the Northeast because of her nagging. "She sighed and reminded Feng Yu Heng:" Eighth Brother has returned. You need to be careful. That person has always been full of schemes. He has had many tricks up his sleeves since he was young. In addition, his thoughts are also focused on the throne. Who knows what kind of trap he will set for you and ninth brother when he returns this time. He is not like the old third. He is Uncle Emperor's son and is a general stationed at the border. Heng, I am not scaring you. Once he returns to court, there will definitely be no peace in court. "
Although Xuan Tian Ge lowered her voice, she did not avoid Fung Tianyu and Ren Xifeng. Especially Ren Xifeng, when she heard this topic, she quickly chimed in: "It's not just the court that is in chaos. Wherever he goes, there will be chaos. Two of my father's former subordinates were killed by His Highness the eighth prince in the South. After my father received the news, he fell seriously ill and scolded His Highness the eighth prince for many days in anger. When he was furious, he even said that he wanted my eldest brother to go and snatch back the power in the South. Of course, those were all words he said out of anger. "
Fung Tianyu also sighed and told the few people: "Recently, Father also kept saying that the imperial court is going to be chaotic, the imperial court is going to be chaotic, I also don't understand how exactly it is going to be chaotic, but hearing what you all said, it is definitely related to His Highness the Eighth Prince. Forget it, let's not worry about it. Heng, you don't have to worry too much. In the end, it's a matter for men. Let them handle it on their own. "
Feng Yu Heng could only nod. She would at most say a few words to Xuan Tianming in private for this sort of thing. It was impossible for her to interfere with the court. Moreover, even if she was allowed to interfere, she would not be able to understand it.
At this time, someone came from Fei Cui Hall, inviting the womenfolk over. Only then did the Empress come out of the hall with a group of imperial concubines following behind her. The palace maids had all picked up lanterns to lead the way. From afar, it was a very beautiful scene.
Fei Cui Hall at night was very beautiful. There was no need to talk about the lanterns. The most creative thing was that there were quite a few luminous goblets used in the banquet. This really caused Feng Yu Heng to be very shocked. Grape wine and luminous goblets, this kind of poem had been stored in her mind for a long time. She had always thought that these luminous goblets were definitely very rare items in ancient times, just like luminous pearls. Even though the imperial family would definitely be able to use them, it would not be to the extent that at a palace banquet, the tables where the important people sat would be filled with these kinds of things.
She clicked her tongue and quietly asked Xuan Tiange: "Things like luminous goblets, there are a lot of them in the palace?"
Xuan Tiange shook her head, "I haven't heard of it. But there are two in our manor. Father King treasures them like they are some sort of treasure and does not allow me to touch them easily. Thinking about it, it's impossible for the palace to have too many in stock, right? Otherwise, I would always say that I like them. Uncle Emperor dotes on me so much, so why did he only give me two? "
What she said was reasonable, but this also made people feel even more curious. Feng Yu Heng pointed at Fei Cui Hall in front of them and asked: "Then why is he so generous now? Where did these things come from? "
Not only was Feng Yu Heng surprised, everyone who came to the hall gasped with their mouths agape. For a while, the front of the hall was filled with the sound of people gasping. There were even some young misses who could not control their emotions and rushed toward the tables at the front. This included Feng Fen Dai! That girl had always been greedy for money, and she had even less resistance to treasures. Following the group of madams and young misses, she rushed forward; however, she was very quickly stopped by the palace servants.
Because it was the new year, although the palace servants felt a bit of disdain, it was inconvenient for them to show it. They continued to smile and say: "The seats at the front are for the masters. It is inconvenient for everyone to go forward."
As for Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tiange, they naturally sat at the tables with the luminous goblets. Xuan Tiange immediately pulled her forward. While walking, she said: "Where did these nice things come from? Uncle Emperor must remember to wrap up a few for Heng Feng and I to bring back. "
Tianwu was already seated at the head seat. Even the Empress and the other members of the imperial harem had come forward. First, they kowtowed to Tianwu. Then before they could hear Emperor Tianwu speak, someone from the group of princes spoke up: "If I knew earlier that my younger sister liked this sort of thing, your share would have been wrapped up and kept. Remember to bring it with you when you leave the palace later!"
