But what Chen Yu wore was none of Feng Yu Heng's business. She only pulled Xiang Rong towards the normal carriage. Just as she was about to enter the carriage, she heard Chen Yu say: "How about my two younger sisters sit with me. Both sides are quite spacious. That carriage will be left to the servants."
Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. This meant that this normal carriage was only suitable for servants?
"Many thanks eldest sister for the invitation, but there is no need. We are just the daughters of a concubine. Squeezing in with the servants is fine." She threw out these words and entered the carriage. Xiang Rong bowed to Chen Yu then followed Feng Yu Heng in. Behind them were Wang Chuan and Xiang Rong's servants. The four entered the carriage with the flow of water, leaving Chen Yu outside.
Feng Chen Yu clenched her fists and glared at the carriage through the curtain. She then angrily climbed into her own red sandalwood carriage.
The two carriages headed towards Ding An palace at the same time. Xiang Rong was attending this sort of event for the first time, so she was a little nervous. Sitting in the carriage, she kept wringing her handkerchief.
Feng Yu Heng closed her eyes and decided to catch up on sleep. In reality, she had been thinking about how she would draw some pictures and use moon palace silk to make two sets of pajamas to wear. She would wear one set and give Yao shi another set.
As she thought about it, they arrived at Ding An palace.
When they arrived, there were already quite a few madams and young misses gathered at the entrance to chat. Seeing the Feng family's carriage arrive, they all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the two carriages.
The curtains of the two carriages were raised at the same time. Xiang Rong followed behind Feng Yu Heng with a timid appearance, not daring to raise her head.
Feng Yu Heng, however, did not think much of it. Raising the curtain, she exited the carriage with the help of a servant. She then turned her head to look at Feng Chen Yu.
She saw that this eldest young miss' attitude was not normal. First, the driver placed a stool for her to step on. Then, the two maidservants, Yi Lin and Yi Yue, exited the carriage first. One on each side helped her out, then Yi Yue turned around to drag her dress to the ground.
Feng Yu Heng looked at this scene and thought of a western wedding in the 21st century. She could not help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Feng Chen Yu really was courting death.
This was the first time that the three young misses of the Feng family had attended Ding An palace's banquet. Speaking of, it could be considered the first time that the Feng family had officially let their daughters out.
Previously, Feng Yu Heng was not in the capital, so she naturally could not participate. Xiang Rong and Fen Dai were young and did not have the right. As for Feng Chen Yu, she was hidden away in the manor like a treasure by the Feng family. Outside, they only heard rumors that the Feng family had a peerless young miss to the first wife; however, they had never seen her in person.
Now that the three of them were standing in front of the gate, they immediately attracted the sound of people sucking in their breaths.
Of course, this voice was for Feng Chen Yu.
Feng Chen Yu was extremely beautiful. This sort of beauty was neither flirtatious nor plain. It just happened to be at the center of everyone's perception of beauty, causing people to be unable to help but cry out in surprise.
Especially after being dressed up so meticulously, Feng Chen Yu, who had made her first official appearance, truly caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.
In an instant, some people couldn't help but whisper: "Is that the Feng family's eldest young miss? Oh my god, is that even human? How can she be so beautiful? "
Another person said: "Apparently, the Feng family's daughter was born with a glow that covered the sky. Naturally, she is different from the rest."
"I heard that she was previously the daughter of a concubine. Later on, her mother ascended the throne, thus she became the daughter of the first wife?"
"Then what about the original daughter of the first wife?"
The topic finally turned to Feng Yu Heng. Those who understood the Feng family's secret history pointed at Feng Yu Heng and quietly said: "That was the original daughter of the first wife. Unfortunately, her maternal family caused a disaster. The Feng family feared being implicated, so in one night, the original head madam was removed from her position and Feng Chen Yu's mother was placed on the throne."
"Un." Another person agreed, "I also know about this matter. The Yao family used to live next to our manor. At that time, how glorious was the Yao family. Now, there is a long line of dust at the entrance. "
"There are no new people living in the Yao manor?"
"There aren't. I heard that the manor still belongs to the Yao family. It has not been taken back by the Emperor. "
"You have all come to celebrate my imperial concubine mother's birthday. Instead of going into the yard to take care of proper business, what are you standing at the entrance gossiping about?" Everyone's discussion was interrupted by this voice. Turning around to look, they saw imperial daughter Qing Le walking out of the manor.
Qing Le's words caused everyone present to fall silent. One by one, they entered the manor with a smile on their faces. Some of the braver ones looked back while walking, fearing that they would miss a good show that had already begun.
Feng Chen Yu looked at Qing Le with a smile on her face. Taking the initiative, she took a couple steps forward and said: "Chen Yu greets imperial daughter Qing Le." Slightly bowing, she did not lose her etiquette, nor did she lose her status.
"Hmph!" Qing Le snorted coldly without any trace of politeness, as she looked Chen Yu up and down. After a while, she finally said: "So it was the Feng manor's eldest young miss. I thought it was some family's new bride that came to our Ding An palace to ask for some money." Her words were extremely sarcastic.
Feng Chen Yu's face became hot from what she had said. She felt angry, but she could not vent. She could only awkwardly say: "Imperial daughter really knows how to joke."
As for Qing Le, she had already turned her gaze away from Chen Yu and looked towards Feng Yu Heng.
When enemies met, their eyes burned with hatred. Ever since the incident at Refined Deity Building, to imperial daughter Qing Le, Feng Yu Heng was not just a love rival. There was also a hatred of being slapped in the face.
When the two looked at each other, imperial daughter Qing Le's eyes immediately began to burn with anger. Feng Yu Heng, however, smiled like a blooming cotton, taking in the fierce glare. She then stepped forward and did not bow. Standing ramrod straight, she spoke to Qing Le: "Long time no see! Your face is already no longer swollen. It's much better. "
Qing Le was so angry that the roots of her teeth became numb. Her two hands had already clenched into fists. She really wanted to throw a punch at Feng Yu Heng's face, but she also felt that she truly could not beat her.
"Feng Yu Heng!" Qing Le gritted her teeth, "Just you wait. Daring to come to my Ding An palace, you will suffer."
"Alright." Feng Yu Heng shrugged, "If I want to wait, I will wait." As she spoke, she walked towards the manor's gates. While walking, she said: "Ding An palace, I have long heard of your great name. I had to come and see what it looked like after it was burned down by my unmarried husband."
It would have been better if she did not mention this, but once she did, Qing Le's face became even more unsightly. Just as she was about to rush over and fight Feng Yu Heng, she heard Chen Yu quietly say to her: "Would imperial daughter please forgive me. My second sister just has this sort of temper. Even the family can do nothing about it."
These words told Qing Le that the Feng family did not like Feng Yu Heng's temper, so if she had any tricks, she could use them. The Feng family would not support her.
Qing Le naturally understood. Glancing sideways at Chen Yu, she nodded, "If that's the case, then many thanks eldest young miss Feng for the reminder."
After saying this, she followed Feng Yu Heng into the manor. Chen Yu was left behind, but there was no one to receive her. She could only resentfully go in on her own.
The scene at the entrance gave Xiang Rong a fright. She quickly walked over to Feng Yu Heng's side and quietly asked: "Second sister, it seems that we have offended Ding An palace's imperial daughter."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's right! Your eldest sister is dressed like a bride. How does she look like someone who is going to celebrate a birthday. "
Xiang Rong anxiously asked: "Then what should we do?" It seems that second sister has also gotten into quite a bit of trouble with imperial daughter, right?
"Just mix it up." Feng Yu Heng giggled and told her, "Don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, there is eldest sister to hold it up. We are just lowly daughters of a concubine. Nobody will deliberately make things difficult for us."
With one of the palace's servants leading the way, the group chatted along the way until they arrived at Ding An palace's garden.
There were already a large number of people gathered here. A table of fruits had also been placed in the center of the garden. Thinking about it, today's birthday banquet would be held here.
Feng Yu Heng looked at the madams and young misses gathered together and saw that many people were looking in her direction. Then some of the braver ones began to discuss "Is that the young miss from the mountains you were talking about? As I see it, her looks are alright. She is not like the rumors that say she is a child from a mountain village. "
"Of course she doesn't look like it. In any case, she used to be lord Feng's daughter to the first wife."
Feng Yu Heng had no intention of listening to these meaningless words. Pulling Xiang Rong along, she walked around. After walking around, she found that not a single one of the sisters that she had just met had come. Even the lowest ranked Bai Fu Rong did not appear. Thinking about it, it really was as Xuan Tian Ge had said. They did not want to give this palace any face.
After walking around a bit more, she found a very interesting phenomenon. It seemed that the people that had come to celebrate the birthday were all rather down to earth.
For example, a girl dressed to the nines came over to greet her and Xiang Rong, saying: "I wonder which family's young misses you two are from? Let's get to know each other. I am the daughter of Mei An Fang from the capital. My name is Li Xin. "
Feng Yu Heng thought for a long time but could not figure out what sort of place Mei An Fang was. It was Xiang Rong who answered for her: "So it was Mei An Fang's daughter. I really like eating the pastries that Mei An Fang makes." She then pulled Feng Yu Heng and quickly walked away.
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, "A pastry shop?"
Xiang Rong nodded, "It's not too big. The pastries are quite delicious."
Not long later, another girl walked over, "You two are the young misses of the Feng manor, right? Ah, I finally met the young miss of a high-ranking official's family! Hello, hello. My family owns Ba Bao Zhai. My name is Ping An. "
Feng Yu Heng quietly asked Xiang Rong: "What does Ba Bao Zhai sell?"
Xiang Rong told her: "It's a restaurant that specializes in vegetarian food."
Feng Yu Heng was speechless.
They met a few more, but they were all daughters and madams of business families. They were also the family members of low-ranking officials of fourth rank or lower.
The two finally reached a quiet place and stopped. Feng Yu Heng could not help but sigh: "In any case, this is still a palace. Why is it that the people invited are all so unpresentable?" She then tugged at her clothes, "I feel that the clothes grandmother made for us are a little too good. They don't suit this occasion."
Xiang Rong also felt this way, "Yesterday, concubine mother Jin Zhen said that the person who sent the invitation mentioned the seventh prince." When she spoke of the seventh prince, her face turned red, "How could this sort of occasion be worthy of the seventh prince's presence."
Feng Yu Heng used her elbow to nudge Xiang Rong: "Little girl, have you been moved?"
Xiang Rong's face turned even redder: "Second sister, what are you saying!" She then turned her face away and pretended to be angry.
Feng Yu Heng laughed at her for a while. She then saw the crowd that had dispersed earlier gather around her once more. She could faintly hear someone say: "Over there, over there! Prime minister Feng's daughter. Although she is the daughter of a concubine, she is still the daughter of a concubine from a first rank official's family! Let's quickly go over and get closer. "
Another person said: "But of course. That daughter of the first wife who is dressed like she is attending a wedding, we can forget about speaking to her. She looks like a goddess. Just by looking at her, I feel a sense of distance. "
So like this, Feng Yu Heng and Feng Xiang Rong were once again surrounded.
However, this time, Feng Yu Heng was interested in the topic of conversation. She heard the girl from Mei 'an Workshop reach out and draw a circle then say: "Do you see, this garden has been completely renovated. The original one was said to be many times more imposing than it is now. Unfortunately, it was completely burned down by the Ninth Prince!"
