In this life, the person that Noble Lady Li cared about the most was not Emperor Tianwu. Instead, it was her son, the Sixth Prince, Xuan Tianfeng. When she was young, she had used some methods to fight for favor, but that was not purely for the sake of obtaining Emperor Tianwu's favor. Instead, she wanted to use the Emperor's protection to prevent herself from being bullied too much in the palace. Later on, she had a son, and all of her efforts were placed on this son. In addition to this, after Consort Yun entered the palace, Emperor Tianwu no longer entered the inner palace, causing her thoughts to fade even further.
But the Sixth Prince was her treasure, and he was a filial child. He read a lot and was very knowledgeable. She had once placed great hopes on that child, and she had even transferred her desire to rely on Emperor Tianwu's favor to prevent herself from being bullied in the inner palace to the Sixth Prince. Unfortunately, the Sixth Prince was filial to his birth mother, but that child was completely focused on reading books and had no other thoughts. Later on, he was pushed too hard, and he simply ran outside to guard the border, causing Noble Lady Li to feel very upset.
Now that she heard Feng Fendai suddenly mention her son, she could not help but be startled! She had been locked in Jing Si Palace for a long time, and she rarely saw outsiders. The Sixth Prince was allowed to come in and visit, but he could not come often. She was silent for a while then asked the palace maid at her side: "How long has it been since His Highness the Sixth Prince came?"
The palace maid clearly knew something, as she glared at Feng Fendai, her eyes filled with resentment. She then very helplessly replied to Noble Lady Li: "It's been a few months."
"A few months …" Noble Lady Li's brow furrowed tightly, as a bad feeling rose within her.
The palace maid quickly advised: "Noble lady, don't take it to heart. Even His Highness the Sixth Prince cannot come often to Jing Si Palace. Moreover, His Highness still has military power and is busy with work. As this servant sees it … he should have returned to the Northeast Military Camp to take care of work."
Noble Lady Li, however, did not believe it. If he had just returned to his own military camp, Feng Fendai would not have specially run over to say those strange things. She looked at Feng Fen Dai and asked directly: "What do you want to say?"
Fen Dai curled up the corners of her lips and smiled at Noble Lady Li with a bit of dissatisfaction, "Noble lady, how is it that you don't even know what your own son is doing?" She then glared at the palace maid and bluntly said, "When the master asks a question, you should speak frankly. As a servant, not only did you conceal the truth, you even lied to the master. How should you be punished?"
The palace maid was filled with anger from Feng Fen Dai, but she could not vent it. The Feng family had fallen, but Feng Fen Dai was engaged to the fifth prince as the future official princess. If she was not careful, it would be very easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings between the fifth prince and the Sixth Prince. She did not want that sort of thing to happen, thus she could only kneel and admit her guilt: "This servant deserves death. Would noble lady please punish me."
Noble Lady Li also had a bit of anger in her heart. She could not vent it on Feng Fen Dai, thus she simply vented it on her own servant. Seeing that the palace maid was about to kneel down and admit her mistake, she slapped her across the face. "Speak! What exactly happened! "
The palace maid gritted her teeth and knew that she could not hide the matter, thus she simply spoke the truth: "It's all this servant's fault. I was afraid that master would be worried, thus I hid the truth. In truth … in truth, the Sixth Prince is indeed not in the capital. Although he went to the Northeast Military Camp, he did not lead the troops back to the capital. Instead, he went to Yun Province and stayed in Ji 'an Prefecture."
"Ji 'an Prefecture?" Noble Lady Li rarely asked about court matters. Hearing about Ji 'an Prefecture suddenly, she really could not react to what sort of place it was. But the two words Ji 'an were too familiar. The Feng family had produced a Princess Ji' an. Could it be that Ji 'an Prefecture was …
Feng Fen Dai sneered: "Noble Lady really is forgetful. Isn't Ji 'an Prefecture the fief that my second sister, the so-called Princess Ji' an, has! His Highness the Sixth Prince really is promising. I have already sent people to inquire. When he went to Ji 'an Prefecture, not only did he lead the troops to explain Feng Yu Heng's crisis, he even stayed there. Noble Lady, guess what His Highness the Sixth Prince stayed in Ji' an Prefecture for? " When she said this, she giggled. If there were people of the Feng family present, they would definitely be able to hear that it was exactly the same as Han shi's. "His Highness the Sixth Prince stayed in Ji 'an Prefecture and became a teacher."
Noble Lady Li was stunned from hearing this. Her son had gone to Feng Yu Heng's territory? To become a teacher? Although she understood that her son had always liked literature and had mentioned more than once that if he was not a descendant of the imperial family, he would definitely become a teacher. But of all the places, why did he have to go to Ji 'an Prefecture? She was a little flustered. Her son had gotten involved with that Princess Ji 'an. What exactly was the reason for this?
Feng Fen Dai seemed to be able to understand what she was thinking. Snorting coldly, she said: "Noble Lady, do you not understand why? Then I will tell you. It's for the sake of feelings! The Sixth Prince likes Feng Yu Heng, so he simply decided to not even want you as his birth mother. He went straight to Feng Yu Heng and lived in Ji 'an Prefecture. I heard that he even lived in Feng Yu Heng's residence in the prefecture. The two of them have a very close relationship! Fen Dai knows a little more, so there is no harm in telling noble lady about it. The Sixth Prince had gone to the Northeast Military Camp earlier and brought back tens of thousands of soldiers; however, he did not return directly to the capital. Instead, he went around to Ji 'an Prefecture to help Feng Yu Heng get out of her predicament. After that, he did not return. He simply gave those tens of thousands of soldiers to the Seventh Prince. The current His Highness the Sixth Prince is not just a normal teacher in Ji 'an Prefecture. He doesn't even have any soldiers at his disposal. Tell me, shouldn't this sort of son that forgets about his mother after finding someone he likes be punished? "
Noble Lady Li nearly coughed up blood in anger, but Feng Fen Dai did not hold back in the slightest. She continued to speak, each sentence harsher than the last: "That's not all. Noble Lady, think about it. Now that Feng Yu Heng and the Ninth Prince have already gotten married, if the Ninth Prince knew about His Highness the Sixth Prince's feelings and knew that His Highness the Sixth Prince was thinking about his wife, what sort of outcome would that be? If Noble Lady does not do anything, His Highness the Sixth Prince will die at the hands of the Ninth Prince sooner or later! Fen Dai is definitely not trying to scare you. His Highness gave the soldiers to the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince are in cahoots. Now, it's the same as His Highness the Sixth Prince being all alone. Wouldn't he be at the mercy of others? "
Of course, Noble Lady Li understood Feng Fen Dai's reasoning. What man would not allow another person to think about their wife? Moreover, it was the Ninth Prince, who had always been arrogant. But since her son no longer had anything, what was the point of Feng Fen Dai coming to Jing Si Palace? Of course, she remembered that Feng Fen Dai had wanted her to persuade the Sixth Prince to work with the Fifth Prince. She had taken a fancy to the soldiers in her son's hands. Now that the military had been given to someone else, what value did she still have?
Noble Lady Li looked at Feng Fen Dai in confusion, asking her: "What else do you want to do?"
Feng Fen Dai did not beat around the bush, frankly saying: "I want the military! Although His Highness the Sixth Prince's soldiers have been handed over, the military tally is still in his hands. That is to say, the military authority of the tens of thousands of soldiers belongs to him. Now that he is living in Ji 'an Prefecture, based on the Ninth Prince's thoughts, how could he not know what was going on. The opposition has already been formed. If Noble Lady does not persuade His Highness the Sixth Prince to make a decision, I fear that there will come a day when the Ninth Prince will suddenly become hostile. He will eat you up until not even your bones will be left. "
Noble Lady Li trembled and immediately thought of the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming's demonic face and Princess Ji 'an, Feng Yu Heng's viciousness. She could not help but feel afraid. But fear was just fear. For some reason, hearing that her son had taken an interest in Princess Ji 'an, she actually began to have another thought. That thought began to stir, and it was almost as if she could not wait any longer.
Feng Fen Dai seemed to have noticed some changes in Noble Lady Li's mood, but she only thought that it had been provoked by her own words. She also knew that His Highness the Sixth Prince was not in the capital, and Noble Lady Li would need to expend a bit of effort to contact him. Thus she was not in a rush, only reminding once more, "Noble Lady should make plans early." She then stood up and patted off the non-existent dust on her clothes. Looking once more in disdain at Jing Si Palace's side hall, she said: "Make a decision early. Noble Lady will be able to leave this damn place early. Don't look at how the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince have fierce momentum right now. When two tigers fight, it's possible that neither side will win! "After saying this, she giggled for a while then left on her own.
The palace maid stood up from the ground and threw away the teacup that Fen Dai had used. When she returned, she quickly advised Noble Lady Li: "Imperial Concubine must not listen to the words of the Feng family's fourth young miss. On what basis does His Highness the Sixth Prince insist on helping His Highness the Fifth Prince?"
"Then who should he help?" Noble Lady Li suddenly asked: "Like now, handing over the troops to the Seventh Prince to help Old Seventh and Old Ninth?"
"This …" The palace maid was a little stumped for words. Thinking a little more, she said: "Can he not help anyone? Live his own life? His Highness is not that sort of person. In the past, His Highness has said this to Imperial Concubine many times. Imperial Concubine must not force His Highness down that path. "
"I am his mother. I will not harm him." A resolute look suddenly flashed through Noble Lady Li's eyes, "But you saying that you will not help anyone is correct … Go, look for our jewelry box. I remember that there should be a pair of jade bracelets left behind from the previous dynasty. They were given to me by His Highness the Sixth Prince the year before last when he returned to the capital. Go find them and think of a way to deliver them to Feng Yu Heng. Just say that they are a wedding gift from me to her and His Ninth Highness. "
The palace maid was puzzled for a while. Her master had never been on good terms with Princess Ji An, and that sort of thing had happened during the Winter Hunt. Although it was Princess Ji An that had pleaded for her life and saved her, she had never seen her master express any gratitude, right? Why did she suddenly want to give a gift? That pair of jade bracelets from the previous dynasty was the most valuable item in Noble Lady Li's possession. She had always treasured them dearly, yet she wanted to give them away just like that. Could it be …
The palace maid was shocked and quickly said: "Noble Lady, please do not take Fourth Young Miss Feng's words to heart! His Highness the Sixth Prince is not a foolish person. How could he possibly take an interest in his younger sister-in-law? Also, even if such a thing really happened, Imperial Concubine should stop it in time. You must not help His Highness with this sort of thing. "
"Why can't I? I heard long ago that the Feng family had a daughter with the aspect of the phoenix. In the past, they all said that it was the beautiful Feng Chen Yu, but Feng Chen Yu died long ago. Now, there are only three left. No matter how you look at it, Feng Yu Heng should have the aspect of the phoenix. If Feng really has taken an interest in her, then I must think of a way to help. So what if she has been married before? As long as Feng likes her! "
The palace maid was so scared that she did not even dare breathe loudly. Intuition told her that her master … had gone crazy!
