Feng Yu Heng felt that it was a little hard to explain the issue of "dropping the chain," thus she vaguely said: "The general meaning is that we cannot lose face at a crucial moment."
Xuan Tian Ge nodded, expressing her acceptance. As for the young miss from the Grand Scholar Li family, she did not feel any sympathy: "This sort of so-called young miss should be taught a lesson. They should not think that they can offend just anyone. Uncle Emperor is right. There is indeed a problem with our Dashun's customs. The daughter of an official's family even dares to offend the daughter-in-law of the Emperor? And it's an imperial daughter of a country. Who exactly gave them the courage to do so? "
At this time, Ren Xi Feng and Fung Tian Yu also came over to speak, and Fung Tian Yu said: "Heng Heng, it was a lucky hit. That Grand Scholar is part of His Highness the eighth prince's faction, but today's matter might not have been intentionally targeted at you."
"What do you mean?" Feng Yu Heng sipped her tea and said: "I have never even met that young miss, and I have never interacted with Grand Scholar. Why would she run over to cause trouble for me?"
Fung Tian Yu said: "Their family's daughter's health was not very good in the past, and she has been recuperating in the Jiangnan area. She just returned before the end of the year. As for why she is causing trouble for you, this is something that cannot be determined for the time being. Perhaps it is as you said, that she is having a fit! "
"How could she have a fit for no reason." Ren Xi Feng helplessly shook her head: "But it is strange. Normally speaking, there are only a few reasons to cause trouble. One is for benefits, and the second is for love. But if it is for benefits, although Grand Scholar is close to His Highness the eighth prince, he would not have his daughter so brazenly cause trouble for you. Based on his daughter's methods and his lowly standard fourth rank, killing them would be as easy as killing an ant. But if it is for love, who in Dashun does not know about the engagement between you and His Ninth Highness? Over the past two years, under your power, even the girls in the capital who had some thoughts about His Ninth Highness had no choice but to stop. Where did she get the courage? Moreover, I heard that the person she likes is His Highness the sixth prince. "
"Yes." Speaking of this, Xuan Tiange also recalled something, "Yesterday, I heard that the Grand Scholar sent something to Sixth Brother's manor, but apparently, it was rejected outside and Sixth Brother did not accept it. Maybe it was a gift from that young lady. "
"What? A mere fourth-rank official's family wants to climb up the Sixth Prince's Sage King Mansion?" Fung Tianyu could not understand at all. For a moment, when she spoke, she was filled with righteous indignation. "I just don't understand what people are thinking now. They don't even take a look at what kind of status they have. How dare they take a fancy to anyone? When my father was still a fifth-ranked official, I didn't even dare to think about those high and mighty princes! Who didn't know that in order to marry a prince, one's family had to be at least a second-rank official or a high-ranking official stationed in a region? How could one randomly pick one up and fall in love with a prince? Really shameless! "
The more she spoke, the angrier she got. Feng Yu Heng saw that if she continued speaking like this, she would most likely chase outside the hall and tear that Grand Scholar's daughter apart, so she quickly suppressed Fung Tianyu's anger and said to her: "That's why people who don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth will only have one path, which is suffering. Let's not get angry with them." As she spoke, she began to ponder why that Grand Scholar's daughter would do this with her. Actually, she should wait a little longer to see what the other party would say before taking action. Unfortunately, she had already interacted with the Eighth Prince earlier and she was also in a bad mood. She could not complain about anything, she could only blame that young lady for being unlucky! As for the reason that young lady was finding trouble, for some reason, Feng Yu Heng began to ponder about that young lady sending something to the Sixth Prince.
At this time, the singing and dancing had already started in the hall and the people returned to being lively. The princes' concubines were all very perceptive. Xuan Tiange and Feng Yu Heng were at this table. The two of them also called over a few young sisters. Those young sisters were not girls from normal families. They were young misses from the Right Prime Minister's Manor and Pingnan General's Office. In the entire Dashun, they could hold their own. Thus, none of them came back. They simply stayed by the side of the imperial concubines and left the table empty for the maidservants.
The group chatted and laughed as they ate tea and pastries. Not long later, palace servants brought the food and wine over. Everyone who had not eaten dinner began to move their chopsticks.
Feng Yu Heng had just eaten two bites of the Four Happiness Meatball when she saw a palace maid walk over. Stopping at her side, she leaned down and whispered into her ear: "Imperial Daughter, This Servant is someone from Winter Moon Palace. News came from our palace. A few days ago, His Highness the Eighth Prince entered the capital and brought back a group of Persians in 20 carriages. There are both men and women and they look like dancers. At this moment, they are heading into the palace and have already entered the palace."
Hearing this, Feng Yu Heng's heart went "thunk". Even the hand that was holding the luminous cup trembled subconsciously. Some of the wine in the cup spilled out and landed on the back of her hand. The palace maid that passed on the message did not stay for long. After saying this, she left quietly and without leaving a trace, she quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Feng Yu Heng froze on the spot and finally understood why she felt uneasy the entire day. Even her eyelids were twitching. It turned out that she was waiting here. She had come to Dashun for so many years. Her personality that was completely different from before finally caused Yao shi to leave her hometown. The skills and methods that she suddenly grasped were all pushed onto a non-existent Persian master with a lie. Now, there was finally someone who began to suspect this? Of course, she had never hoped that she would not suspect this for her entire life; however, she did not think that it would happen so quickly. She also did not think that the first person to suspect would not be someone close to her. Instead, it would be a strong and powerful opponent. Also, this opponent chose to openly reveal this matter in this sort of setting; however, she did not know what sort of crime the other party would accuse her of if she was exposed.
"Heng Heng." Xuan Tiange tugged at her sleeve from the side, asking: "What is it? Where was that palace maid from just now? What did she say to you? "
Feng Yu Heng came back to her senses and shook her head, saying: "It's nothing. She's from Winter Moon Palace. Imperial Concubine Mother told me to go and visit her when I have time."
Hearing that she was from Consort Yun's side, Xuan Tiange finally relaxed and began chatting with her sisters about all sorts of things.
Feng Yu Heng, however, was feeling a little uneasy. This matter had come suddenly. Although she had been worried that this lie would be exposed one day, it had suddenly appeared in front of her. She had not thought of a good way to deal with it. At this moment, thinking about how the Eighth Prince had asked about the fountain pen, she finally understood what the other party meant. She could not help but sigh in her heart. A snake hit three inches under, as expected, he was not a person that was easy to deal with! This method, this method, he was really much stronger than the Third Prince, Xuan Tianye. Other people would say that they got rich silently, but in her eyes, that Eighth Prince was just doing bad things in silence. He even had a wild nature. It was clear that he was full of evil intentions.
Feng Yu Heng was not someone for nothing. Worry flashed through her mind before she felt relieved. Either way, this sort of day would come sooner or later. It would be better to encounter it earlier and deal with it earlier. That way, she would not have to worry about it all day. Now that she thought about it, wasn't she being a little too low-key recently? Had she been too polite to others? It was to the point that some people believed that she had returned to being a soft persimmon from a few years ago. Was she a little girl that could be casually sent away by a father like Feng Jinyuan without even daring to make a sound?
It seemed that humans really were like flowers. If they were not frequently fixed, they would grow crooked. If she did not frequently come out to give them a beating, there would always be people that would think that they could easily step on her head.
Forget it, she was destined to not be able to live a peaceful life. Then she would deal with the moves as they came. But the moves that she had dealt with could not be wasted. She had to deal with all of them. Only this could be considered reciprocity.
After two dances, sure enough, the Eighth Prince spoke up and said to Emperor Tianwu: "Father Emperor, son has returned to the capital this time and prepared a special gift for father Emperor." When he said this, his gaze turned toward Feng Yu Heng, as he continued: "Thinking about it, Princess Ji 'an will also like this gift."
Tianwu was not curious about the gift. He was the emperor, and he had seen plenty of nice things. Speaking truthfully, aside from Feng Yu Heng's things, he really did not care about anything else. He just became dissatisfied with the way the Eighth Prince had spoken: "Eighth Brother, even if you are not in the capital for many years, you shouldn't be so distant from your brothers. Why is it that we feel as though you are an outsider?"
The Eighth Prince was startled and was a little unable to understand where Emperor Tianwu had come from. The Eldest Prince, who was beside him, spoke up: "Perhaps eighth brother has not returned to the capital for many years, so he is unfamiliar with this place and does not have much contact with Heng Heng. Eighth brother, what father Emperor means is, how can you keep calling Heng Heng Princess Ji 'an? Us brothers all call her younger sister-in-law. "
The Eldest Prince was more easy-going and was more tactful when doing business. Naturally, he would be the one to smooth things over. But as soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Tianming spoke up again and directly said: "Then how can I have the nerve to claim kinship? Eighth brother is such a noble person. Besides, Heng Heng asked me a few days ago whether she should call him eighth brother or eighth highness. I said you should call him eighth brother! She said no, eighth brother sounds like calling him a bird. It is really disrespectful. It is better to call him eighth highness. You see, a girl's face is small, so let her be! "
Everyone knew that Xuan Tian Ming was not only vicious and merciless, but he also had a venomous tongue. Lying through his teeth was something that he excelled at. When this sort of thing was said, there was no need for a draft. Even the eighth prince, who had always been able to change his expression, had a sunken expression. It was clear that he was unable to get out of this situation. But at this time, the calm and collected Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua added another stab: "Un, don't say it. Now that Ming mentioned it, I feel that it is not very nice to hear."
Xuantian Mo almost coughed up blood. In any case, he remembered that he was going to make things difficult for that girl. He forcefully suppressed his anger and finally adjusted his attitude. He then spoke up: "Father Emperor is overthinking. This son indeed has little contact with Jun … oh, with younger sister-in-law, so it is not easy to call her that. However, this son is thinking about my brothers, sister-in-law, and younger sister-in-law. This son is talking about this gift. First, it is for father to see something new. Second, it is also for younger sister-in-law to think about. "
Tianwu was puzzled when he heard this and asked: "What is it?"
The Eighth Prince Xuantian Mo laughed: "Father Emperor, it is not an object, but a dance. It is just that the dancers are a bit special. They … are from Persia! "
