Xuan Tian Yan went to Feng Fen Dai's place every day to report. Ever since Feng Jin Yuan's ashes had been scattered, Feng Fen Dai had taken down the plaque that said "Feng manor" at the entrance of the manor, but who knew what she was thinking, as she put it back up. Looking from the outside, the Feng manor was still the Feng manor; however, the inside was cold and cheerless. The weather that had just entered Autumn was as cold as an ice cellar.
Because Xuan Tian Yan had sent gifts to Feng Yu Heng, Feng Fen Dai had gotten into an argument with him. It had to be said that Fen Dai was born of Han shi, and Han shi was someone who had grown up in a brothel. Her personality was gentle and affectionate. Even if she had a temper, it was the type that would quietly mock people and roll her eyes. How could she be as hysterical as Fen Dai.
In the end, Fen Dai's personality was similar to Chen shi's. Seeing her from a young age, she felt that Chen shi was the most promising, as she had climbed from being a concubine to the position of head wife. In this sort of proud girl's heart, she had left behind a "glorious" impression. That was why, after a while, she had learned a few things.
At this time, Feng Fen Dai was pointing at the fifth prince, Xuan Tian Yan's nose and cursing: "Ever since the day of their wedding, you have been sending gifts to the Yao family. Once was not enough, and you actually sent a second time? Xuan Tian Yan! Could it be that you have taken an interest in Feng Yu Heng? "
The fifth prince had a thorough understanding of Fen Dai's personality. Seeing that her expression was not good, he knew that he would not have a good time. At first, he had planned to not argue with her and settle the matter peacefully. But when he heard her curse like this, he could not stop himself from retorting: "You can't speak nonsense! Do you know what sort of consequences this sort of thing will have if it gets out? "He did not know about others, but how could he not know about his Ninth Brother, Xuan Tianming? He could do anything, but he could not think about Feng Yu Heng. Otherwise, she would not care if you were a brother or not. With a whip, even your own mother would not recognize you.
But Feng Fen Dai did not listen to his advice. Not only did she not stop, she cursed even more fiercely: "What did I say? Also, when was I speaking nonsense? If you weren't interested in that woman, why would you send her a set of ancient medical books? The other princes all sent normal congratulatory gifts, but you sent them to Feng Yu Heng. If this wasn't an ulterior motive, then what was? Why don't you give him some antique paintings or something? I heard that the First Prince had given her some tacky jewelry and antique vases. Why are you the only one who is different from the others? "
Xuan Tian Yan was also helpless, "How can I be as extravagant as Eldest Brother, do you know how much that chest of antiques is worth? Even if I sold my Li Palace, I wouldn't be able to exchange for it. Besides, the ancient medical book has been in my possession for many years. It would be a waste to keep it in my hands. I might as well give it to them. After all, one is my younger brother, and the other is your elder sister. "
"Bah! I don't have that sort of elder sister! "Speaking of Feng Yu Heng, Fen Dai was unable to remain calm. Perhaps when she was alone, she could think about the past and reflect on herself a little. She might even regret it. But she also knew that she had already walked this path, and she could no longer turn back. It would be better to shed all pretense of cordiality and fight to the end.
Xuan Tian Yan understood her thoughts, and he had sighed on behalf of this fiancee more than once. He also felt a deep sense of resentment toward the Feng manor. It was only in the Feng family's environment that a daughter with such a twisted personality could be raised. If Fen Dai was in another family, perhaps she would be much better off than she was now. He was also a little anxious, anxious for this girl to grow up quickly so that he could bring her into the Li Palace and treat her well. He hoped that Fen Dai's personality would change and become more restrained. Sighing helplessly, Xuan Tianyan never argued with her directly, only telling her: "I have never had feelings for your second sister. Gifting a set of medical books, if you insist that I give you an explanation, then it would just be currying favor with you. I will also say something to your liking, and that is that I need to leave a way out for myself and for you. Father Emperor has so many sons, and who knows who this world will belong to in the future, but at least for now, the possibility of it landing in Ninth Brother's hands is the highest. That's why you see, I am also making plans for our future. No matter what the outcome is in the future, we will not be driven into a corner. "
"Who wants you to make plans like this?" Fen Dai glared fiercely at Xuan Tian Yan, "What I wanted was never this!"
"I know." Xuan Tian Yan continued to advise her, "Then just treat it as storing good things with her in advance. This is just a formality. When we get married in the future, they will also need to give you a gift. Old Ninth is generous with his gifts, so how could he not give you good things. What you get will definitely be much more valuable than that set of medical books. "
"Xuan Tian Yan, do you know that Feng Yu Heng and I have a grudge against each other for killing my father?" Fen Dai suddenly brought up this topic, "My father's ashes were sent back by her, and even after he died, he was not buried in peace. Instead, he was burned to ashes. How cruel of a person would do something like that?"
"It's fine if you don't acknowledge that sort of father!" Speaking of Feng Jin Yuan, Xuan Tian Yan did not have a good attitude, "You scattered his ashes. This was the right thing to do!"
"But I am not reconciled!" Fen Dai spoke with a sobbing tone and suddenly felt that she had been wronged, "I am not reconciled to losing to her like this! Ever since I was young, they have received more than me. The Feng family has four children, and two of them have been daughters of the first wife. There is also Xiang Rong. It looks like she does not compete, but her concubine mother, An shi, has a dowry shop and does not need to worry about food. It's just me. It's just me who is the most pitiful. My concubine mother is a prostitute. They all look down on me! Why do I not compete? If I do not compete, I will never be able to raise my head in this lifetime! "
"But things are different now!" Xuan Tian Yan held her arms and bitterly advised her, "Don't think about the Feng manor anymore. So what if they are good? Feng Chen Yu has already died, and Feng Xiang Rong just has a shop to feed herself. But you are now the future official princess of the Li Palace. Even if it is Feng Yu Heng, you can stand on equal footing with her. What else do you want? Now, there are no other women in the Li Palace. You also do not need to take care of your in-laws. In such a large palace, you alone have the final say. You will not lose again. "
"But I will not win again!" Feng Fen Dai's gaze was sharp and completely ignored Xuan Tian Yan's advice. She only cared about venting her emotions: "If I do not compete, I will never have the chance to win against her! Then my life, what meaning is there left? "
When Xuan Tian Yan left, Feng Fen Dai did not send him off. She even felt that the man she had relied on in the past was too useless. They were both sons of the dragon, but look at how the other son of the dragon was acting? What about him? In the past, he had taken a fancy to the Emperor's imperial concubine. Now, he was focused on being an independent person. He really was useless!
This outburst of anger scared Dong Ying badly. Seeing the Fifth Prince leave in disappointment, she quickly advised Fen Dai: "Young Miss, you must not speak so casually in the future! That is a prince in the end. Now that you no longer have the Feng family to support you, what if you anger him and he proposes to cancel the engagement? Also, what do you mean by whether or not you like the Second Young Miss, you must not say it again! It's one thing for you to tell Noble Lady Li in Jing Si Palace the last time, but once you leave Jing Si Palace, you have to forget about it completely. Otherwise, if the Ninth Prince pursues the matter, he has always killed without batting an eyelid! "
Fen Dai had practically grown up from being scared. Whether it was the Ninth Prince or Feng Yu Heng, who had not threatened her before? She had already been beaten before. She had already trained her body to be as thick as copper and her skin could not be any thicker. Killing people without batting an eye? Now, it could not scare her.
"Since I have already walked on this path, why not take a risk. What if I succeed? Even if I fail, it's just death. The people of the Feng family have all died. Living in this world is like duckweed without roots. I have already lost my direction. Dong Ying, I finally found a path, so I must continue walking down it. " As she spoke, the various memories of the Feng family flashed through her mind. This time, even the cries of the child that Han shi gave birth to filled her ears, leaving her with nowhere to hide. "My concubine mother also treated me well in the past." When she spoke of her birth mother, her voice was filled with endless regret and loneliness, "It's just a pity that we did not have such a good life."
Ever since Feng Yu Heng returned to the capital, she did not like going out. Aside from entering the palace, returning to the imperial daughter's manor and returning to the Yao manor, she spent the rest of her time cooped up in the Imperial Palace Yu. Occasionally, she would receive letters from Ji 'an Prefecture. There were letters from Qian Fengshou, reporting on the situation. There were also letters from the Sixth Prince, also reporting on the situation. There were also letters from Bai Fu Rong, Xiang Rong and the others, communicating their feelings between sisters.
She began to miss her days in Ji An Prefecture. Ever since the Hundred Herb Hall in the capital was no longer open, and the eighth prince had been held back by the Board of Punishments, it seemed that her days had suddenly become idle. Aside from taking care of flowers and plants in the palace and setting up a medicine storage room in her own courtyard, there was not much else to do.
Seeing her complain about being bored all day, Wang Chuan smiled and said: "Young Miss is a worrisome person. Actually, in a large courtyard, which girl is not like this? There's no need to mention the Imperial Palace. At least the girls outside can occasionally go out for a stroll, and there are not that many rules. But once you enter the Imperial Palace, unless something big happens, you can forget about leaving the Imperial Palace. Look at Her Highness the Empress. She is the mother of the country, but doesn't she also live in seclusion all day long? Whether or not her days are annoying, only she knows. "
Feng Yu Heng understood this logic, but she was not completely as worrisome as Wang Chuan had said. She just felt that the current peace did not allow people to feel at ease. In this large capital, when had there ever been a day of peace? It was just letting her rest for a while, but it was also possible that the other side was actively preparing. There would come a day when something troublesome would come. Otherwise, wouldn't those concubines and relatives who were in cahoots with the Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo, have nothing better to do?
"Just watch! There will come a day when the capital will become lively again. I will cultivate my body and mind. After a while, there will be a lot of work to do! "
Wang Chuan did not know what Feng Yu Heng meant by lively again, but when he thought about the enemies that had been established, he felt that it would not be peaceful forever. "Then Young Miss should cherish these rare days of peace. En, it would be best if you could take this opportunity to give birth to a little prince. The Imperial Palace Yu is truly too quiet."
Feng Yu Heng rubbed her forehead, "Do you think a child can be born just like that? Wouldn't it take ten months of pregnancy? Would the enemy let us have ten months of peace? "
Just as the master and servant spoke, a maidservant quickly walked over from the outside. Arriving in front of Feng Yu Heng, she saluted and said: "Princess, there are quite a few citizens gathered in front of the palace's entrance. They say that they must see you and have something to discuss."
"Something important? Citizens? "Feng Yu Heng did not understand … …
