When Feng Chen Yu finally heard that the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, would also be attending Princess Ding An's birthday banquet, she shyly agreed that she would also go to Ding An palace.
Her shy expression did not escape Feng Yu Heng's eyes. Thinking again about Xuan Tianhua's leisurely appearance, no matter what, it did not match Feng Chen Yu.
The matter of attending the birthday banquet was finally settled. Because of this banquet, Feng Yu Heng recalled the Mid-Autumn banquet that Xuan Tian Ge had mentioned at the temple that day. Thus she called for Wang Chuan: "Take a look at the good materials that Xuan Tianming sent over. See which ones are suitable for making Autumn clothes. Make a set for me to wear during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Wang Chuan saw that Feng Yu Heng finally remembered to use those materials and finally let out a sigh of relief: "Young miss, if you still do not use those materials, this servant will have to remind you."
"What's wrong?" Feng Yu Heng was puzzled. "Aren't those materials very expensive? I really could not bear to use them."
Wang Chuan told her: "No matter how expensive they are, that is only for others. In this world, there is nothing that his Highness cannot obtain even if he wants it. Since his Highness has given these good things to young miss, then he naturally hopes that young miss can use them and wear them. It can't be that he will keep them as a last resort. Young miss, don't worry and wear them. Even if you run out of materials, his Highness can still get more. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Alright, I see that those materials are indeed very nice. Then just pick out the ones that can be made into Autumn clothes and make two sets. Oh right, don't forget to leave some leftover materials to make two handkerchiefs. I promised to give them to Xiang Rong and Fen Dai. "
Wang Chuan reminded Feng Yu Heng: "Young miss, you also promised third young miss a pair of shoes. You said it would be for her to wear when she gets married."
Feng Yu Heng did not forget this, "She is only ten years old and will get married early. Making them now would be pointless. When she turns fifteen, her feet will have grown out. At that time, she will not be able to wear them. How about this, you pick out a material suitable for Xiang Rong's age and make a set of clothes for her. "
Wang Chuan did not feel any heartache. Either way, the Ninth Prince really did have a way to get these things. If the young miss wanted to give a gift, she could give it. In the end, she was still a twelve-year-old child. In this stifling Feng manor, having a playmate was always good.
"In three days, we will go to Ding An palace to celebrate the birthday. Does young miss want to prepare a gift?" Wang Chuan was very attentive.
Feng Yu Heng shook her head. "The Feng family will prepare these things. We don't have to worry about it." She thought for a while and added, "I don't want to give away any of the things here to other families."
Wang Chuan thought about it and agreed. That Ding An family's imperial daughter Qing Le was not a good girl. Just based on the fact that she knew that the Ninth Prince was already engaged to the Feng family's second young miss, yet she still shamelessly had her father request a marriage from the Emperor, it could be seen just how thick her skin was for a girl. Now that her own young miss did not give her face, that was something that should be done.
Three days later, in the morning, the matriarch arranged for new clothes to be made for the three young misses. They were sent to each courtyard by the servants.
Feng Yu Heng looked at the five sets of Autumn clothes that had been sent and nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that the matriarch has put in a bit of money. If the Shen Clan was still here, who knows what kind of lousy material they would use to fool me."
Wang Chuan helped her choose the clothes while saying: "The matriarch has lived to this age. She is still able to clearly distinguish between what is important and what is not. She can't be like the Shen Clan and be greedy for small gains and suffer a big loss. "
The two looked around and chose a set of sky blue clothes. The thin brocade material was perfect for the beginning of Autumn.
She then picked out a set of accessories from the jewelry that Xuan Tianming had sent. Feng Yu Heng had Wang Chuan tie her hair into a decent bun and inserted an orchid hairpin. Her entire person looked very fresh and eye-catching.
It was just that there was a bit of a struggle over the issue of makeup. Feng Yu Heng was not too used to the makeup of the ancient era. She felt that if she put on makeup, she would look like a fake person, but she could not just go to a banquet without makeup.
She thought a bit then sent Wang Chuan away. She dove into her space and pulled out a makeup bag from a drawer. From the makeup lotion to the foundation lotion to the skin cream CC cream, she only came out of her space after she finished applying some powder and a light flesh-colored blush.
As for the rest of the makeup, Feng Yu Heng very rarely put on makeup. Moreover, as she saw it, a twelve year old's skin would be quite good with just a bit of care. There was no need to deliberately put on makeup. If she used too much color, she would look old and lose her innocence.
Even if this was the case, when Feng Yu Heng came out of her room, she still gave Wang Chuan a great shock. She could not understand what her young miss had used to fix up her face. Why did it look like she did not put on makeup, but it was indeed much more exquisite than before.
Wang Chuan endured her curiosity and did not ask. The longer she followed Feng Yu Heng, the more she found that there were many things that she could not understand. Her family's young miss was always able to come up with strange things, especially when it came to medicinal ingredients. The strange pills that were sent to Hundred Herb Hall and the sweet medicine that could be drunk with boiling water were things that she had never even heard of before. Either way, no matter what it was, the second young miss said that she had learned it from the Persian eccentric. Slowly, Wang Chuan began to blame everything that did not make sense on the Persian eccentric.
Feng Yu Heng finished packing everything and prepared to set out with Wang Chuan. Just as they arrived at the small moon gate between Tong Sheng pavilion and the Feng manor, they saw Xiang Rong walking over.
The Feng family had made a set of orange autumn clothes for that child. It was tied at the waist with a belt of the same color, showing off her waist.
Seeing Feng Yu Heng come out, Xiang Rong was very happy and quickly walked over to salute her: "Second sister! Xiang Rong was just about to go look for you. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled and pulled Xiang Rong's hand, "Third sister's clothes are quite good."
Xiang Rong was a little embarrassed and said: "This is all thanks to second sister. If it was not for second sister speaking up for Xiang Rong in front of grandmother, I fear that grandmother would not have made clothes for Xiang Rong."
Feng Yu Heng patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "It's fine. You have only been with your maternal family for a few years. Endure it for a while. The good days are ahead. " While saying this, she asked Wang Chuan: "I said that the clothes were made from the material sent by his Highness. Has someone been ordered to cut them?"
Wang Chuan quickly said: "When young miss returns from Ding An palace, there will be a tailor from the Imperial Palace Yu coming to take your measurements. This servant has picked out commoner's brocade material, and it will be perfect for the season. Young miss will be able to wear it immediately. " While saying this, he looked at Xiang Rong and said: "Second young miss told us to leave enough material for third young miss and fourth young miss to make handkerchiefs. Also, this servant has picked out a bolt of refined cloud cloth. It will be used specifically to make a set of autumn clothes for third young miss. When the tailor comes, third young miss will be invited to Tong Sheng pavilion to take measurements together."
Xiang Rong was dazed upon hearing this. Refined cloud cloth? That was one of the five treasures!
"Second sister." She was both surprised and happy, "Second sister is saying that you will make a set of clothes for me?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's right."
"No, no, no!" Although she really liked the material, Xiang Rong still felt that it was too extravagant, "Xiang Rong knows how valuable the five treasures are. For second sister to use the scraps to make a handkerchief for Xiang Rong, Xiang Rong is already very grateful. In the future, no matter who Xiang Rong marries, with this sort of thing, it will be very dignified. Xiang Rong does not dare ask for such a good set of clothes. It wastes a lot of material. "
Feng Yu Heng sighed, "Xiang Rong, you are my younger sister. Although you did not come from the same mother's belly, just based on the fact that concubine mother An secretly stuffed some broken silver into Zirui's collar when elder sister left the manor three years ago, elder sister will accept this kindness."
Xiang Rong was still unwilling, "How can a handful of broken silver compare to the material of the five treasures. Second sister, Xiang Rong does not want it. Keep it to make some more beautiful clothes. In the future, when you marry into the Imperial Palace Yu, it will look good."
Hearing this, Wang Chuan laughed, "Third Young Miss, you are worrying too much. Our Second Young Miss has not even married into the family and His Highness Prince Yu is already willing to send over so many good things. Are you still afraid that Second Young Miss will be bullied after marrying into the family? Also, His Highness Prince Yu is a prince. Father Emperor and Imperial Concubine Mother are both in the palace. Second Young Miss will be the only head wife in the manor. She will not need to look at her parents-in-law's expressions. His Highness will also not have any concubines. In the palace, Second Young Miss will have the final say. "
Wang Chuan said this for Xiang Rong to hear. On the other hand, it was to tell Feng Yu Heng that the Ninth Prince was a clean person. He definitely did not have the hobby of keeping women.
Xiang Rong was very smart and immediately understood Wang Chuan's intentions. Smiling, she looked at Feng Yu Heng and sighed: "Second sister is really lucky."
Feng Yu Heng also laughed. It was the kind of laughter that could not be controlled. But her mouth was still unforgiving: "Even if he keeps concubines, I will kick them out one by one!"
Wang Chuan and Xiang Rong teased her for a while. Under Feng Yu Heng's insistence, Xiang Rong did not mention anything about not wanting clothes. She only gratefully said to Feng Yu Heng: "Although Xiang Rong's words are small and cannot help second sister much at home, if second sister has a use for Xiang Rong, even if it is manual labor, Xiang Rong is willing to do it."
Feng Yu Heng laughed at her for being silly. In the end, she was the daughter of a large family. How could she be allowed to do manual labor. But in regards to Xiang Rong, Feng Yu Heng truly felt that this child was very smart. Keeping her in the manor was truly a waste. If there was a chance, she would bring her out to see the world more often.
The group chatted and laughed along the way until they arrived at the entrance of Feng manor. When they arrived, Feng Chen Yu had just walked out of her courtyard.
There were two carriages parked outside the door. One was normal, and the other was made of red sandalwood. Xiang Rong quietly explained to Feng Yu Heng: "That is eldest sister's personal carriage. Last time, when she went to the temple to offer incense, father said to keep a low profile and keep everything simple, so she did not sit in it."
Feng Yu Heng nodded. She had heard that the Shen Clan had prepared personal carriages for Chen Yu and Zi Hao, but this was the first time she had seen one. Sure enough, it was of a high class. It was not something that she or Xiang Rong could compare to.
Looking again at Chen Yu, she was wearing a bright pink dress today. On the outside, she wore a gauze dress of the same color. The collar was not small, and the curve of her neck and collarbone could be clearly seen. The lines were beautiful, and her skin was tender and white. The dress was very long and flowed lightly to the ground. Behind her, there was a long tail that was more than three feet long. This made Feng Chen Yu's gait look even more graceful and beautiful. Her hair was not tied up in a bun. She only used a hairband to hold it in place, allowing it to hang in front of her chest. Paired with the exquisite makeup on her face, she looked like the queen of butterflies. It made people's eyes light up.
But this sort of makeup did not look like she was going to attend someone else's birthday banquet. Instead, it looked as though she was the host of the banquet. Especially the color of the dress and the long tail. It was beautiful, but it made people feel that it did not match her age and status. If a young imperial concubine from the palace wore it like this, then it would truly cause people to cry out in praise.
Feng Yu Heng glanced at Chen Yu and thought to herself: "If you don't seek death, you won't die." This Feng Chen Yu had put on all of her ambition. She was truly looking forward to what sort of expressions Princess Ding An and imperial daughter Qing Le would have when they saw Chen Yu dressed like this.
