With Feng Chen Yu's ruckus, she immediately became the center of attention.
Princess Ding An had realized long ago that her limelight had been stolen by Chen Yu. Now that she had caused trouble, her expression could not help but sink.
Sitting to her side, imperial daughter Qing Le twisted her fingers and fiercely muttered: "Sure enough, the Feng family is full of sluts."
As for the fat madam that Chen Yu had pointed at and cursed at, she could no longer maintain her expression. Placing her hands on her hips, she pointed at Chen Yu and said: "You are the Feng manor's eldest young miss, but my husband is also a third rank official. I saw that you were beautiful, so I wanted to arrange a good marriage for you out of goodwill. My son is able to rank in the top 50 of Yun Lu Academy's exams every year. Who knows, he might even be able to become the top scholar in the imperial exam. When that time comes, even if you want to climb the social ladder, we would not want you! "
Feng Chen Yu's face turned green from anger. She wanted to say, "Your son is only able to rank in the top 50, yet you want to become the top scholar? Even if he becomes the top scholar, my father is still the prime minister. Your family will never be able to make a comeback in this lifetime!
But just as the words reached her mouth, she glanced to the side and saw a white-robed figure walk over from the corridor between the garden and the front yard. The words that were at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down, as a look of grief appeared on her face. Tears began to well up in her eyes: "This sort of thing requires a matchmaker. Although madam has good intentions, Chen Yu is still an unmarried girl. For madam to bring up this sort of thing with me, where should I put my face?"
Chen Yu's Bodhisattva face was like a weeping pear blossom, immediately attracting sympathy.
Everyone thought about it. That was true. She was an adult girl. If you wanted to talk about matchmaking, you should go to her family and talk to the adults. To directly talk about this with a girl was against the rules.
Moreover … there was a madam that spoke up for Feng Chen Yu: "Madam Tian." She called the fat madam: "Whether or not your son can become the top scholar is still unknown. Eldest young miss Feng is the daughter of the current prime minister. You are just a third rank official, yet you want to climb the social ladder of a standard first rank official. Don't you think that you are too ungrateful."
"My ass!" The fat madam became unhappy, "You are just a fourth rank official's concubine. What right do you have to dislike my family's status?"
"Yo!" The madam who stood up for the injustice said again, "Madam Tian, have you forgotten? Yesterday, my husband was just promoted to a third-rank official by the emperor, which is a level higher than your third-rank official!"
The ruckus below finally caused Princess Ding An to be unable to continue watching. With a "bang" sound, she slapped the table in front of her, causing the melons and fruits to scatter to the ground. The song and dance also stopped because of Wang Fei's anger. For a moment, the scene was silent.
"What are you here for?" Princess Ding An glared at Feng Chen Yu with a dark expression, "Eldest young miss Feng, I advise you to cover your face when you go out in the future. This will prevent you from attracting attention." Not waiting for Feng Chen Yu to react, he turned to the two arguing matriarchs and said: "Your master's grudges in the court, if you want to cause a ruckus, go cause a ruckus at home. Don't try to show off your might in Ding An palace!"
Seeing Princess Ding An become angry, the two madams of the officials lost their arrogance. They both stood up to salute and apologize: "Princess has lectured us correctly."
Chen Yu also opened her teary eyes and saluted Prince Ding An: "It was all Chen Yu's fault. Would princess please punish me."
But at this time, they heard a gentle voice say: "On the day of Princess Ding An's birthday, how can you speak of punishment."
Everyone looked towards the direction of the voice and saw an elegant young man with two imperial bodyguards on a small path in the garden. He had his hands behind his back and was wearing a white robe. His hair was tied up in a white jade crown, and a gentle smile was on his face. It was so elegant and warm that when people saw it, their hearts would calm down.
Feng Chen Yu's eyes flashed with a trace of yearning. Princess Ding An, however, had already stood up and was about to pull imperial daughter Qing Le down from the main seat.
However, that person waved his hand and said to Princess Ding An: "I have come on behalf of the imperial family to congratulate Princess Ding An on her birthday. There is no need for Princess to be so polite."
Imperial daughter Qing Le tugged at Princess Ding An's sleeve and quietly said: "Your position is not lower than his. Why do you need to lower yourself?"
Only then did Princess Ding An calm down. Facing the person who had come, she said with a smile: "Many thanks to your Highness Prince Chun for the honor. It truly brings light to Ding An palace's humble dwelling!"
The person who had come was none other than Prince Chun, Xuan Tianhua.
Feng Yu Heng looked at Xuan Tianhua then looked at Feng Chen Yu. She felt that Feng Chen Yu at this moment finally had a bit of the shyness that a 14 year old girl should have. Also, it was not as forced as before.
She could not help but sigh. Feng Chen Yu had taken a fancy to Xuan Tianhua. She did not know what Feng Jin Yuan would think if he found out. Chen Yu's mission was to be the Empress. This Xuan Tianhua … how was he related to the throne?
No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem to be related. For such a refined person, how could he desire the position of Emperor.
Feng Yu Heng shrugged and picked another fruit to take a bite.
At this time, all of the madams and young misses present once again stood up and began to salute Xuan Tianhua.
She had no choice but to put down the fruit in her hand and also stand up. Following everyone else, she said: "Long live his Highness Prince Chun." She then glanced sideways and seemed to see the hearts of the young girls that had been captured by Xuan Tianhua.
Xuan Tianhua had long since become accustomed to this sort of scene. He did not move in the slightest. He only slightly raised his hand and warmly said: "You may all rise."
Only then did everyone stand up. Those young misses that were normally reserved no longer cared about their faces. They all turned their burning gazes towards Xuan Tianhua. There were even a few madams that were more daring that joined in the fun. Directed their gazes towards Xuan Tianhua.
Feng Chen Yu looked at these people. There was a sentence in her heart that she nearly shouted "You really are shameless!" She was unreconciled and took the initiative to take a couple steps forward. Facing Xuan Tianhua, she saluted and tenderly said: "Long time no see. Has your Highness Prince Chun been well?"
Once these words came out, she immediately received many envious gazes.
Such ambiguous words, in the ears of others, meant that the two were already familiar with each other. Furthermore, they had met not long ago.
Who in the capital did not know that his Highness Prince Chun was the most gentle of the nine princes. In the hearts of these madams and young misses, this person was like a deity from the heavens. He could be seen from afar but could not be touched. What right did you, Feng Chen Yu, have to blaspheme a deity?
Just as everyone was silently criticizing Feng Chen Yu, Prince Xuan Tianhua looked seriously at the girl that was speaking to him. His gaze was probing and he actually looked at her for a long time.
Xiang Rong was a little unable to hold back. Secretly tugging at Feng Yu Heng's sleeve, she worriedly said: "The seventh prince wouldn't have taken a fancy to eldest sister, right?"
In reality, Xiang Rong was not the only one with such thoughts. The other madams and young misses were also worried. Although the seventh prince was a kind person, studying a girl for so long was something that had never been heard of.
Feng Yu Heng shook her head at Xiang Rong: "That's not possible. Based on my understanding of the seventh prince, although he looks harmless, you definitely cannot confuse what he shows on the surface with what he actually says and does. If you don't believe it, "She pointed at Xuan Tianhua with her chin," Look. "
Sure enough, Xuan Tianhua's probing from a moment ago came to a conclusion very quickly. They heard him ask Feng Chen Yu in confusion: "May I ask which family's young miss you are? Have I met you before? "
Pft!
Xiang Rong burst out laughing.
Her eldest sister had said such vague words. She originally thought that this Prince Chun would at least give the beauty some face; however, she did not think that he would not even remember who she was.
The other madams and young misses also let out a sigh of relief. When they looked at Feng Chen Yu again, their gazes were filled with sympathy.
Feng Chen Yu was also a little embarrassed, but she could not get angry at Xuan Tianhua. She could only do her best to adjust her mood and quickly say: "I am the daughter of the first wife of the prime minister's Feng manor. My name is Feng Chen Yu. His Highness Prince Chun came to the manor a few days ago and we met."
Once she mentioned this matter, everyone remembered. That's right! A few days ago, Prince Chun had gone to the Feng manor, but he had gone with Prince Yu. It seemed that he was sending Prince Yu's fiancee home.
Xuan Tianhua also remembered, thus he smiled and nodded, "Young miss saying it like this, I remembered. Eldest young miss Feng also came today to celebrate Princess Ding An's birthday?"
Feng Chen Yu saw Xuan Tianhua begin chatting with her and felt very happy. She could not help but take a few steps forward and warmly say: "That's right! I did not know that his Highness would also be coming today. Chen Yu should have gone to pay respects to his Highness earlier. "
Xuan Tianhua only faintly said: "Eldest young miss Feng is too courteous." Immediately following this, he looked around and doubtfully said: "Only the eldest young miss from the Feng family came? Did I's younger sister-in-law come? "
Hearing Xuan Tianhua mention Feng Yu Heng, Chen Yu's face became cold, but she still said: "Second sister and third sister also came." After all, she did not want to change the topic to Feng Yu Heng. Chen Yu quickly extended an invitation to Xuan Tianhua: "Since his Highness has come to celebrate Princess Ding An's birthday, then please take a seat!"
Her words made Princess Ding An very satisfied. That's right! Today, she was the main character. You people of the Feng family should quickly move to the side!
Xuan Tianhua also nodded and said to Princess Ding An: "Every year for princess' birthday banquet, father Emperor would send one of us brothers to celebrate princess' birthday. This year, I also came with a gift personally prepared by father Emperor and mother Empress. It has already been handed over to the front yard to celebrate princess' good fortune and good health. "
Princess Ding An's smile bloomed on her face. The already wrinkled face became even uglier, but she was completely unaware of it. She only continued to crazily laugh, "Many thanks to your Majesty the Emperor and Her Highness the Empress. Many thanks to your Highness! Your Highness, please take a seat! "As she spoke, she moved to the side to give her seat of honor to Xuan Tianhua.
Xuan Tianhua, however, did not step forward. He only politely said: "Today is princess' birthday, so you should take a seat of honor. I was originally sitting with my Highness in the front yard. I came to celebrate princess' birthday and asked for some tea before returning. Princess, please take a seat. I will chat with younger sister for a bit. " After he finished speaking, he turned his head and accurately found Feng Yu Heng's seat. Walking over, he said: "Right before I came, Ninth Brother told me to bring you some pastries made by the palace's new imperial chef. When I left, I had the servants send them to your Tong Sheng pavilion."
These words not only expressed that he and Feng Yu Heng were truly familiar with each other, but it also told everyone how much importance his Ninth Brother placed on this princess that had not yet married. He even remembered to bring something as small as the new imperial chef making pastries for her.
Feng Yu Heng also smiled and replied to him: "Many thanks Seventh Brother." With the words Seventh Brother, their relationship became even closer.
The jealousy of the madams and young misses immediately shifted from Feng Yu Heng to Feng Yu Heng, but after feeling jealous for a while, they felt that the two were actually related. The Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince had both been brought up by Consort Yun. They were like brothers, so they would naturally be closer to Feng Yu Heng.
Thus the jealousy that had just shifted returned.
Yet at this time, Feng Chen Yu thickened her skin and left her original seat. With an excited and shy face, she moved towards Feng Yu Heng's side.
