Noble Lady Li's personality had been rather introverted since she was young. She did not have many friends in the palace, and even her own older sister was estranged from her. No matter what happened, she kept it in her heart and did not communicate with others. As a result, when she was young, there were many arrogant concubines who took pleasure in bullying her. Even if she was bullied badly, the only method she used was to stab a little person to satisfy her cravings. Now that she had lived in Jing Si Palace for a long time, her introverted personality became more and more apparent. She did not even want to see people and spoke little with her maids. She even rejoiced that Emperor Tianwu did not allow her to go out and did not allow others to come in. This way, there would be fewer people to disturb her.
However, today was different. She used one of her golden hairpins to bribe the Imperial Guard, allowing her maids to leave the palace to invite Feng Yu Heng. As for how Feng Yu Heng would enter, she was not worried. She knew that Feng Yu Heng was very capable. There was probably no place in the palace that she could not enter.
Seeing Feng Yu Heng arrive, the excitement on Noble Lady Li's face was difficult to hide. There was also a bit of nervousness. She took the initiative to welcome her, doing her best to make herself appear very warm. She personally invited her into the side hall and had her maid Zuo bring the best tea in Jing Si Palace. She watched as Feng Yu Heng took a sip before saying apologetically: "Don't take offense. I don't have anything good here. This kind of tea is already the best that I can bring out."
Feng Yu Heng smiled at Noble Lady Li and said: "It's fine. I don't care about these things in the first place." As she spoke, an apologetic expression appeared on her face. She then said: "Speaking of which, it was Heng's negligence. I should have entered the palace earlier to visit noble lady. Sixth Brother has helped me greatly in Yuzhou. Now, he has stayed there to help me take care of matters in the county. However, I was unable to take care of noble lady in his place. This is truly Heng Heng's fault."
Hearing her say this, not only did Noble Lady Li not blame her, the smile on her face became even wider. She became even more happy and warm. She even took the initiative to pull Feng Yu Heng's hand and said fervently: "It's good that you have such intentions. There's no need to pay too much attention to me. Either way, the Emperor does not allow people to come visit me and does not allow me to leave the palace...... . "As she spoke, she patted the back of Feng Yu Heng's hand, endlessly praising:" Truly a good and sensible child. You're so busy, yet you're still thinking of me. With your words, my heart is much warmer. "
Feng Yu Heng slightly raised an eyebrow. She felt that Noble Lady Li was too warm today. Thinking back to the wedding gift she had sent her last time, a very uncomfortable feeling instantly rose in her heart.
However, Noble Lady Li could not see the uncomfortable feeling that had already faintly appeared on her face. She continued to express her own feelings. She had her eat desserts and even personally refilled her tea. Afterwards, she took the initiative to bring up the matter of the Sixth Prince. She said: "I heard that Feng is living with you in Ji 'an County?"
Feng Yu Heng frowned. What kind of words were these? "Noble Lady should not speak like this. There are some words that the speaker does not mean, but the listener understands. Sixth Brother is only living in my residence in Ji 'an County. That residence is very large, several times larger than the imperial daughter's residence in the capital. They did enter through the same entrance, but the residence is tens of thousands of li apart. Thus, even in the residence, Sixth Brother and I do not often see each other. " She blocked her words and even told Noble Lady Li: "You've been in the palace for several decades and should understand that speaking incorrectly is a taboo. I hope that noble lady will do her best to think before speaking."
Noble Lady Li did not get angry, but rather quickly nodded and admitted her mistake. Her attitude was especially good: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault. I did not mean it, please do not misunderstand. Then let's not talk about this. You and His Ninth Highness are married, then … does His Ninth Highness treat you well? " Her tone carried concern and her gaze was also very sincere. She really did look like an elder who was concerned about a younger generation, and she was very kind.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "Very good. His Ninth Highness and I have been engaged since we were young, and our relationship has always been good. Back then, he promised that he would come to marry me on the day I became of age. However, at that time, we were in the South and there were many battles. I originally thought that this marriage would be delayed for a few days, but I never thought that His Ninth Highness would still come. Heng Heng was very happy. " She deliberately spoke of her feelings with Xuan Tianming in a sweet manner and then carefully observed Noble Lady Li's expression. Sure enough, she saw a trace of sadness.
Noble Lady Li did not continue this topic, but instead changed it again. She actually talked about the Sixth Prince. From childhood to adulthood, she even talked about the embarrassing things that the Sixth Prince did when he was young. She even talked to Feng Yu Heng about what kind of wife he would find in the future when he was six years old. She talked about it with great relish, to the point that Feng Yu Heng felt that she had come to Jing Si Palace to listen to Noble Lady Li's memoirs.
Huang Quan's lips twitched as she listened. She could not help but frown and gently tugged on Feng Yu Heng's sleeve.
Zuo, who was standing behind Noble Lady Li, saw Huang Quan's movements and also gently tugged on Noble Lady Li's sleeve as a reminder. However, Noble Lady Li was completely oblivious as she spoke. She even pushed Zuo and said, "I'm talking to the Imperial Princess. Don't cause trouble here."
As soon as she said this, Feng Yu Heng opened her mouth and said, "Noble Lady, you shouldn't call me Imperial Princess anymore."
Noble Lady Li was stunned, but immediately reacted, "Right, right! Because of your relationship with Feng, we should be closer to each other. What's more, you saved my life during the Winter Hunt. Then I'll call you Heng! "
Feng Yu Heng did not know whether to laugh or cry, "Even with your relationship with the Sixth Brother, Noble Lady and I are only acquaintances. It's better if you call me Royal Consort Yu." After saying this, she emphasized, "The other imperial brothers' imperial concubines also call me that."
Noble Lady Li's expression was awkward, but she had no choice but to nod. She said dryly, "Alright, then I'll call you Royal Consort Yu!"
"En." Feng Yu Heng nodded and said, "In the past, I really didn't hear much about the Sixth Brother's matters. Hearing Noble Lady talk about it today, it's also refreshing. Speaking of which, the Sixth Brother really is a good person. "
"So what if he's a good person?" Noble Lady Li sighed, "I'm still worried about his marriage. I don't know when the Virtuous King Estate will have a new mistress."
"I'll help the Sixth Brother keep an eye out for good young ladies. If there's a suitable one, I'll bring her into the palace for you to take a look. Is that alright?"
"Aiyo!" Noble Lady Li reached out to grab her hand again, but Feng Yu Heng avoided her without leaving a trace. However, Noble Lady Li continued, "With Feng's temperament, he won't say anything directly. If we're talking about good young ladies, how could there be anyone better than Imperial Princess … … No, Royal Consort Yu! Feng … … "
"Noble Lady is too kind." Feng Yu Heng's expression sank slightly, "There are quite a few people outside who are spreading rumors that Princess Ji An is arrogant and despotic!"
"That's because they're blind!" Noble Lady Li snorted coldly, "Where can you find such a good young lady? Even if she's arrogant, she still needs to have the qualifications! I'm just looking at you. Really, the more I look, the better. Say, you and Feng … … "
Seeing this Noble Lady Li's words getting more and more out of hand, Feng Yu Heng helplessly opened her mouth to interrupt, "Noble Lady! I already said earlier that I have a very good relationship with His Ninth Highness. If Noble Lady is truly thinking for the Sixth Brother, then you shouldn't have said such words and actions today. " While she spoke, her small face had already become completely taut. When she looked once more at Noble Lady Li, a powerful aura that could not be resisted spread out, causing Noble Lady Li to subconsciously tremble. She felt that the room that had been lit by charcoal was also cold. As for Feng Yu Heng, she continued, bringing up another matter, "That fourth sister of mine, Feng Fen Dai, is still young and does not know any better. Noble Lady should not cause trouble with her. Sixth Brother has not had an easy time getting to where he is today. The political situation of the court is constantly changing. Nobody can guarantee what will happen tomorrow. As a mother, you should understand what is truly good for your child. You should not blindly rely on your own feelings and walk down a path that is completely different from your own child's. Noble Lady, I have said all that I can. Please think about it carefully. "After saying this, she did not stay any longer, quickly leaving with Huang Quan.
Noble Lady Li sat there in a daze. She watched as Feng Yu Heng left, but she did not have the courage to ask her to stay any longer. The courage and enthusiasm that she had managed to muster with great difficulty was suddenly extinguished in an instant. Feng Yu Heng's cold water caused her to feel cold. Zuo stepped forward to support her, helplessly advising her: "Noble Lady, give up! This servant has already advised you that this path will not work. Royal Consort Yu is right. What the Feng family's young miss said last time is also right. Not only can you not persist, you even need to advise His Highness the Sixth Prince to rein in his thoughts! What sort of person is His Ninth Highness? If there is a day when word of this reaches his ears, then … "Zuo gritted his teeth and said fiercely:" Then it is very possible that His Highness the Sixth Prince's life will be taken! "
"He dares!" Noble Lady Li's face was full of fear. "They are all princes. How can he kill whoever he wants?"
"But he is His Ninth Highness!" Zuo stamped his feet anxiously. "Is there anything in the world that His Ninth Highness doesn't dare to do? Master, please think for His Highness the Sixth Prince. Don't do anything that you shouldn't do! "
On this side, the maid kept comforting Noble Lady Li. Meanwhile, in the Winter Moon Palace, not long after Feng Yu Heng left, Tianwu went in. At this time, he was sitting on the ground with a bowl of rice, watching Consort Yun tease the white tiger in the cage.
Little White had grown up, but it wasn't particularly big. It was still smaller than a normal tiger, but it was no longer the little fellow that Feng Yu Heng could hold in her arms like a kitten. Consort Yun made a very beautiful silver cage for Little White. She even hung a circle of bells on the cage. Little White often patted those bells, making a clear and crisp sound, which made Consort Yun giggle.
Tianwu loved Consort Yun's laughter. It was just like twenty years ago in the mountain village. It was so casual, so happy, so free and easy. He was holding a big bowl in his hand, which was filled with rice. On top of the rice, there was half a big pork shoulder, a few pieces of pork ribs, and two meatballs. He sat on the ground and ate while watching his wife play with the tiger. From time to time, he would giggle foolishly. The scene was very warm.
But Zhang Yuan couldn't watch anymore. Seeing Tianwu stuffing so much meat into his mouth, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, can we not eat like this?"
Tianwu was puzzled: "What's wrong with eating like this? It's very delicious! It's better than eating a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of vegetables separately. Didn't Heng Cheng also say that this is called … … meat and vegetable rice? Yes, that's the name. It's delicious. "
Consort Yun rolled her eyes: "That's not what I meant. I'm telling you not to eat meat like this!"
Zhang Yuan nodded: "That's right, I'm talking about the meat. It has nothing to do with eating."
"Meat!" Tianwu felt a little guilty, "This meat is also very good."
"Very good?" Consort Yun raised her eyebrows, "I don't know which blind chef made you meat today. This consort will chop them all up. Let's see who dares to do it next time."
"Don't!" Tianwu was anxious. It wasn't easy for the Imperial Kitchen to recruit two new chefs. He didn't know why and didn't know that Consort Yun didn't let him eat meat, so he was able to eat it a few times. If they were chopped up again, would he really become a rabbit that ate vegetables every day? "Just this once. I won't eat it in the future."
Consort Yun turned around and crooked her finger at him, whispering: "Xuan Zhan, come here."
