Feng Yu Heng's right eyelid twitched when she woke up this morning. She wasn't superstitious, but sometimes she couldn't help but overthink things, especially in these troubled times. Perhaps a woman's intuition was accurate. However, she couldn't find the reason. Now that she saw the Eighth Prince and heard his words, Feng Yu Heng suddenly thought that perhaps she always had a premonition that something was going to happen today, and it was most likely going to happen here.
However, she had already said that her medical skills, archery skills, and these strange things all came from her Persian master. Almost everyone in the capital knew about this. Even people from outside the province had heard about it. Now that the Eighth Prince had deliberately asked about it, even though she knew that there would be trouble, she had no choice but to nod and admit: "Of course it's true."
The Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo, didn't stop. He was addicted to asking. Seeing that she admitted the origin of the fountain pen, he quickly followed: "I don't return to the capital often, but I've seen the princess a few times in the beginning. In these years, I've heard that the Princess Ji 'an is very skilled and that you have many different things in your hands. You've also mastered and provided Dashun with the method of making steel. I've also heard that these skills all came from your Persian master. I'm truly amazed. "As he spoke, he raised his wine cup and gestured to Feng Yu Heng. However, he didn't force her to drink with him. He only tilted his head back and took a sip. When he put down the luminous cup, there was a strange smile on his face.
Feng Yu Heng heard this in her heart. Although she felt that this person's words were strange and she didn't know what he wanted to do behind her back, she couldn't think of anything at the moment. She could only calmly say: "Your Eighth Highness is too kind. As the saying goes, seeing is believing a hundred times. Your Highness is often away, so the things you hear are mostly exaggerated. It's better to come back to the capital more often and see with your own eyes." After she finished speaking, she sat down and slightly frowned, thinking to herself.
This was just a small interlude, so Tianwu didn't think much of it. Behind him, there were still some minor officials who came forward to present their gifts, but they were no longer as restrained as before. The people below began to talk among themselves, and there were also some who got up and walked around.
The people sitting at Feng Yu Heng's table aside from her and Xuan Tiange were the official princesses of the other princes with families. There were not many people. At this time, they all stood up and went to the side of the imperial concubines. After all, the birth mothers of the princes were still present. As daughters-in-law, they had to go over and chat with them. For a while, the table was empty, and a young miss walked over. First, she saluted to Feng Yu Heng then sat down at Feng Yu Heng's side, quietly saying: "It's just a type of pen for writing? Everyone said that Princess Ji An was rich from all directions. How could she be so stingy as to only gift the Emperor a single brush? Our family also gave you a set of glazed ware! " After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and used a handkerchief to cover her mouth. She giggled a few times, not hiding the fact that she was "looking for trouble".
Feng Yu Heng looked at her curiously, her face filled with disbelief: "Does Young Miss have a headache?"
"Hm?" That girl was stunned and put down the handkerchief that she had used to cover her mouth, "What does Imperial Daughter mean? My head doesn't hurt. "
"So much water entered your head, but it doesn't hurt. Young Miss really is a godly person!" Feng Yu Heng revealed an expression of admiration, "How about we open your head to take a look. Don't let the water all accumulate in one place. If we don't find it now, it will be fatal in the future."
That young miss did not react for a while and quickly asked: "What is called opening your head?"
Feng Yu Heng raised her hand and gestured towards her head, "It's like this, using a knife to cut open your head to see if there is anything extra or missing inside. Or if there is something wrong with your brain. Tsk tsk, I don't know which family's young miss is from, but they dared to let her into the palace with such a bad brain. Are they not afraid that your family's official position will be lost because of this? "
That young miss was frightened by Feng Yu Heng's gesture and subconsciously raised her hand to push Feng Yu Heng away. With this push, Feng Yu Heng's hand was slapped down and coincidentally, it broke a luminous cup in front of that young miss. That cup broke on the ground with a "pa" sound, and Feng Yu Heng screamed. For a moment, everyone in Feicui Palace Hall looked over, including Emperor Tianwu.
Feng Yu Heng held her hand and looked at that young miss with a hurt expression. She said with grievance: "Which family's young miss are you? Why did you hit people? Even if you don't like me, why did you break Second Sister-in-law's cup? This cup is priceless. How can your family afford to pay for it? "
With this, she saw a large group of people stand up from the princes' table. Among them were the eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi, the second prince, Xuan Tian Ling, the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi, the Sixth Prince, Xuan Tianfeng, the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, and the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming. Without exception, these princes were closer to Feng Yu Heng. There was no need to talk about the eldest prince. Feng Yu Heng was his benefactor who helped him carry on the family line. Even if the second prince did not have much of a relationship with Feng Yu Heng, didn't Feng Yu Heng just mention Second Sister-in-law? That was his wife. He naturally had to stand up and take a look. The fourth prince was thinking about Xiang Rong. He also knew that these two sisters were not really not getting along, so he also joined in the fun. The Sixth Prince had an indescribable feeling towards Feng Yu Heng. Of course, he could not be excluded. There was no need to talk about the seventh prince and the ninth prince. They were his family. Currently, only the fifth prince and the Eighth Prince were seated. One truly did not want to join in, and the other only wanted to watch the fun.
Hearing that Feng Yu Heng had been beaten, Xuan Tianming was the first to speak up, "Who was it that dared to act so arrogantly at the palace banquet? Not only did they break Princess Yuan's cup, but they also beat up Princess Ji An? "
The word 'beat' firmly pinned the blame on the young lady's head. The young lady didn't know where her courage and temper came from, but when she heard this, she immediately retorted, "She was the one who said that my brain was flooded with water first!"
Everyone laughed. Imperial Daughter had just said one sentence, and you went to beat her. If water had not entered her head, what else could it be?
However, Feng Yu Heng spoke with a sobbing tone: "That was because Father Emperor clearly liked the fountain pen that my younger brother, Zirui, gave him, but you said that it was just something for writing and were very disdainful of it. You also said that your family also gave him a set of glazed utensils. Father Emperor was clearly praising that fountain pen, and he ordered me to send people to develop it and promote it in Da Shun. Just like that, it has been degraded to this degree by you. Could it be that in your eyes, my father Emperor is so greedy for wealth that he does not care about the benefits of scholars? "
She threw out a bunch of words, and everyone understood what was going on. It turned out that this young miss was not just stupid, she was also fierce!
At this time, Princess Yuan, who had been sitting among the concubines, also stood up and sternly asked: "Which family's young miss are you?"
That young miss never thought that things would suddenly develop like this. The broken pieces of the luminous cup on the ground had already scared her half to death. Now that so many princes had stood up and glared at her, and Princess Yuan had also questioned her, she … … What exactly did she do? How did it become like this?
For a moment, this girl was frozen on the spot. She even forgot to kneel and continued to sit there.
There was no movement from her side, but there was one person in the group of officials who could no longer sit still. He practically rolled to the middle of the hall and knelt in front of Tianwu: "Your Majesty, it was this old official who did not teach his daughter well. Please forgive her, Your Majesty!"
Everyone looked. Great, it was the current court scholar, Li Zhonghe.
For a moment, everyone's worldview was destroyed. Someone could not help but ask: "Scholar! You are a civil official. How could your daughter think that a fountain pen is not even as good as a set of glazed utensils? "
"That's right! Even if the girl doesn't study, is this the atmosphere in your Scholar's manor? "
All sorts of similar opinions surged forth. There was no need for the princes to speak. Anyone who was not on the Eighth Prince's side began to point and talk. In the end, even Tianwu asked in confusion: "Scholar Li teaches his children like this?" After saying this, he glanced in Feng Yu Heng's direction and said something very biased: "This is the first time that zhen has seen an official's daughter dare to hit zhen's daughter-in-law. What kind of world is this?" Tianwu repeatedly sighed as he spoke, "It's all zhen's fault. It's zhen who did not govern properly. I have let down the people of Dashun and the common people of the world! Today, the official's daughter hit zhen's daughter-in-law. Tomorrow, will you officials also rebel and come to beat zhen? "
These words became more and more explicit. Feng Yu Heng thought that this old Emperor, under her subtle influence over the past two years, was becoming more and more sensible! In addition, Tianwu was a bit unruly in his bones. Therefore, even if he was an Emperor, he was an Emperor who was not afraid of making a big deal out of it. Sometimes, Feng Yu Heng even felt that cooperating with Tianwu to trick people was easier than cooperating with Xuan Tianming!
After Emperor Tianwu said this, the people in the hall could not sit still anymore. No matter who it was, whether they had something to do or not, they all knelt on the ground and said directly: "I don't dare! I don't dare! "
When the Emperor was angry, not only did the officials kneel down, but the Empress also knelt down with the concubines. The princes, princesses, and infanta all knelt down. Only the young lady of the Scholar's family was scared out of her wits. She was still sitting in the chair, which seemed so abrupt.
Feng Yu Heng faintly sighed and faintly said: "Today is the new year. If the grand scholar's family really has the intentions that father Emperor says, then father Emperor …" She raised her head and suddenly loudly said: "Protect father Emperor!"
This shout also scared Tianwu and made him tremble. He thought that this girl was really good at acting! Then, a hidden guard appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path.
The Scholar was already scared out of his wits. However, at this time, there was no need for Tianwu to say anything. The guards had already entered the hall. Without saying anything, they took the young lady of the Li family away. The Scholar did not have anything better and followed with his tail between his legs. During the New Year, the imperial edict to demote officials could not be issued. However, the result was obvious. He would lose his official position for sure. The Grand Secretary of the Inner Palace was only a fourth-rank official. He never thought that a small official like him would be looked at in a different light by the Emperor at the palace banquet. He didn't think that his daughter would cause such a big trouble. He didn't know what kind of medicine did his daughter eat.
Seeing that the person had already been taken away, the hidden guards returned to their hiding place to continue protecting. Tianwu also raised his hand to let "everyone rise." Then, he exchanged a look with Feng Yu Heng. The two nodded to each other, expressing that they had a happy cooperation.
Very quickly, servants came forward to clean up the broken pieces of the luminous cups. Xuan Tiange asked Feng Yu Heng softly: "Why are you so angry?"
Feng Yu Heng shrugged, "Who knows if there will be some big movements today. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I haven't picked anyone up. My hands are a little rusty, and I was thinking about finding someone to practice with. I hope that I won't drop the ball when the time comes. Who knew that someone would take the initiative to come to me at this time. Tiange, do you think that they have nothing better to do? "
Xuan Tiange did not know if they had nothing better to do. She just asked very curiously: "What do you mean by dropping the ball?"
