The next day, Feng Fen Dai moved out. The fifth prince, Xuan Tian Yan, came over early in the morning to pick her up. Seeing Fen Dai with a child and looking at the child's appearance, he had an understanding. He said to Fen Dai: "Since he has been brought back, take good care of him. No matter what is said, he is still your younger brother. With him at your side, you can at least coax someone."
Fen Dai faintly said: "I know. If he can't even do this, what is the point of me bringing him back?" This was the way she was accustomed to speaking. Xuan Tian Yan had become accustomed to being scolded. Ever since a high and mighty prince recognized Feng Fen Dai, his face in front of her had deteriorated day by day. He did not know when it had started, but he had learned a principle for interacting with Feng Fen Dai: If you want the person, don't want the face. If you want the face, don't want the person.
He then looked at Fen Dai. She spoke coldly; however, she still tightly held onto the child. When crossing the threshold, she even bent down to help lift the child's robe, fearing that he would trip and fall. Xuan Tian Yan knew that regardless of how Fen Dai treated him, she would have some sincerity when it came to this child.
It was good that she had sincerity. He was just worried that this girl would lose her sincerity when it came to everyone. In the end, she would walk down a path of no return, and he would not be able to pull her back. If she had an additional younger brother at her side, perhaps she could slowly soften her heart and change a bit.
Leaving the Feng manor, everything was moved into the carriage. Feng Fen Dai turned around and looked at the plaque above the manor's gate. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she felt a wave of pain. "Take down the plaque and smash it!" She said to He Zhong: "From this day forward, there will no longer be a Feng manor in the capital."
Following Feng Fen Dai's words, the Feng manor completely disappeared from the capital.
The new residence was not far from the Li Palace. It was just behind the Li Palace and at the end of a small alley. It was a very exquisite place. Xuan Tian Yan had never mentioned to Fen Dai that this residence was something that he had bought for that person. He had imagined that there would come a day when he could bring that person out of the palace and bring her here. Unfortunately, fantasies could only remain fantasies. When Feng Fen Dai mentioned that she wanted to move, he immediately thought of this place.
This side courtyard was not big, with only two entrances, but it was somewhat similar to Feng Yu Heng's Commandery Princess Manor. The decorations inside were all in the style of Jiangnan, with small bridges and flowing water. Even in the winter, it still looked lively.
Fendai immediately fell in love with this place, asking her younger brother at her side: "Xiao Bao, do you think this place is good?"
The child nodded. "Okay, Xiao Bao likes this place."
Fendai was especially happy, even tilting her head and saying to Xuan Tianyan: "Listen, even Xiao Bao said that he likes it, you really handled this matter well."
Xuan Tianyan answered with a smile: "It's good that you all like it, and I did not waste my efforts."
Speaking of this, to Fendai, it sounded like Xuan Tianyan had specially set up this small courtyard for her, and she could not help but feel smug. But she did not know that the current Xuan Tianyan actually saw traces of that person from back then on her, as if that girl had entered this courtyard and was walking around, occasionally turning back to say to him: "Yan, this place is so beautiful, I really like this place." This was a scene that he had been dreaming of for many years, unfortunately, it could not come true in the end. But today, he had a rare dream with Fendai here, Xuan Tianyan thought, just let this girl be willful! Just treat it as that person, filling up his heart in an instant.
Fendai did not bring many servants over, housekeeper He Zhong, a gatekeeper, four maidservants in charge of sweeping, Dong Ying who accompanied her, and two rough laborers in her own courtyard. Then there were the two grannies that she had invited for Xiao Bao. Xuan Tianyan felt that it was a little shabby, asking: "Do you want to send more people?"
Fendai shook her head, but raised her own thoughts with him: "If you really have the heart, just give me two hidden guards that will listen to me completely, and not the kind that when I have an order, they will first go and ask for your opinion." The reason why she raised it like this was because Xuan Tianyan had once given her hidden guards under Fendai's request, but although that hidden guard followed Fendai, Xuan Tianyan was worried about this girl's willfulness, to the point that the hidden guard still acknowledged him as Master. No matter what big or small matter happened in Feng manor, no matter what Feng Fendai ordered them to do, the hidden guard would first report to Xuan Tianyan. After this matter was discovered by Feng Fendai, the two hidden guards were sent back to Xuan Tianyan the next day.
Today, she raised this request again, but Xuan Tianyan did not try to persuade her like he did in the past, instead, he agreed very happily, promising that they would be sent over later. He even promised Fendai again and again: "Don't worry, this time, I will not refuse your intentions, the hidden guards given to you are given to you, from today onwards, you are their Master, even if you ask them to come and kill me with a knife, they must do it."
Feng Fendai snorted coldly, "Why would I kill you?" Although she said this, she was pleased with herself. She had always coveted Feng Yu Heng having loyal hidden guards at her side, in the capital, although hidden guards were not very special existences, they were not something that normal madams and young misses could have. High officials and noble people would have them, just like Feng Jinyuan in the past, but they also needed to spend a lot of effort and a very high price. Also, the princes and grandsons had hidden guards at their side to show off their status, and their hidden guards were all personally trained, unlike Feng Jinyuan in the past, who had to be hired from the underworld.
Now, she was going to have hidden guards that truly belonged to her, this made her feel that the distance between herself and Feng Yu Heng had become closer without her noticing, no longer like before, where one was in the sky and the other was on the ground.
Xuan Tianyan helped her take care of things for the entire morning and ate lunch together at noon, then returned to Li Palace. When he left, he saw Fendai standing under the wintersweet tree in the courtyard to send him off, even gently tugging at the corner of his clothes to help him smooth out the creases, that feeling of "Fendai is that person" surged in his heart. Moved, he raised his hand and held the back of Fendai's head, gently pulling her into his embrace, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.
Fendai was still a young girl after all, her face heated up from this kiss, and when she reacted, Xuan Tianyan had already walked out of her small courtyard. Dong Ying said enviously from the side: "His Highness the Fifth Prince really treats Young Miss well."
Feng Fendai was a little embarrassed, no matter what was said, he was still a prince, the sons of the Xuan family were all born handsome, although the Fifth Prince's appearance was not as outstanding as Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua, it was not something that normal people could compare to. To be able to receive the careful care of such a person, no matter how proud she, Feng Fendai, was, the other party's appearance and status were enough to support that pride of hers. It was just a pity that this girl never knew how to be content, she wanted too much, and wanted to surpass too much, the small flame that had been suppressed in the Feng manor as the daughter of a concubine had already begun to burn fiercely.
In the Imperial Palace Yu, Huang Quan handed an invitation to Feng Yu Heng, "It was sent from the Imperial Palace, Consort Li is holding a small banquet in Zhang Ning Palace, inviting Young Miss to attend in three days!" Huang Quan did not like Consort Li very much, she even advised Feng Yu Heng: "Young Miss, don't go, it's fine as long as the banknotes were sent, there is no need to give her that face." Once the banknotes were mentioned, Huang Quan felt a bit of pain: "Young Miss, it's one million taels! Is there a need to send so much? "
Feng Yu Heng, however, did not think this way, she said: "One million taels is not a lot, or if she had not said those things that day and had those thoughts, I was planning to send five million taels. There is also this invitation, Huang Quan, you must know, since the invitation can be sent to the Imperial Palace Yu, then it can naturally be sent to the Jing Palace and the Yuan Palace. In the end, she is the imperial concubine that gave birth to a prince, just to give face to His Highness the sixth prince, eldest brother and second brother's family's women will need to go into the palace to show their faces. Also, I will say the same thing, not for anyone else, just for Sixth Brother, this trip must be made. "
In truth, Huang Quan also understood this reasoning, but he felt uncomfortable and very unhappily said: "Just Consort Li's thoughts are truly disgusting!"
"What has Consort Li done to make you feel disgusted?" Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, accompanied by a sudden burst of cold air, Xuan Tianming walked in with large strides. "It really is cold outside today."
After entering winter, the days were getting colder with each passing day. Feng Yu Heng quickly stood up and helped him remove the cloak from behind him, at the same time saying: "Only your ears are good. Even when I am chatting with a servant, you have to listen a bit. His Highness Prince Yu, aren't you annoying people?"
Huang Quan covered his mouth and chuckled, quickly retreating from the room. From the day they moved to the Imperial Palace Yu, Huang Quan and Wang Chuan already understood the logic of "as long as His Highness is in the room, they must avoid him." If they were late by even a single step, their lives would be in danger!
Xuan Tianming pinched Feng Yu Heng's small nose and carefully looked her over, staring at Feng Yu Heng until she was about to explode. She then heard him say: "I's wife is indeed a symbol, no wonder so many people are thinking about her."
"Scram!" She slapped Xuan Tianming's hand away, "What nonsense are you spouting? If there really were that many people thinking about her, would it even be your turn? "
"How could it not be my turn?" Xuan Tianming decided to speak with facts, "They are thinking about her, but they didn't think about her as early as I did. Even if we were talking about first come, first served, it still wouldn't be their turn."
Feng Yu Heng felt that a certain person's skin was already becoming thicker and thicker, but thinking about it, when had this person ever cared about face? He had always been someone who could argue with unreasonable people, and it wasn't her first day knowing him. Thus she decided not to argue with him about this, only handing over the invitation from the palace to him, then saying: "We still need to go. Thinking about it, eldest brother and second brother's family's women should also be attending. I made the decision to prepare one million taels of banknotes, and I just happened to tell you today. "
Xuan Tianming raised an eyebrow: "Wife, are you reporting to your husband?"
She nodded: "We're already married, so our assets are naturally shared. One million taels of banknotes isn't a small amount, so I had to tell you." Although she said this, in reality, the money was placed in her space by her, and it had nothing to do with Imperial Palace Yu.
Xuan Tianming naturally understood this, so he said: "Since you said this, then this money can't be paid by you alone. It has to come from Imperial Palace Yu's account." He was very much in favor of his own suggestion, and while speaking, he put his arm around his wife's shoulders and led her step by step into the inner room. For the sake of deceiving others, he specially extended the topic: "Sixth brother is helping you take care of things in Ji An Prefecture. The money that you give him is definitely not something that he can accept. It would be better to give it to his imperial concubine mother. It can be considered returning a favor."
Feng Yu Heng nodded: "You're right. But in view of Consort Li's unstable state of mind, we shouldn't use the Imperial Palace Yu's money. That one million taels was stolen from the Sheng Palace, and the Eighth Prince and Consort Li are relatives. Thinking about it like this, the wool comes from the sheep's back, and my heart feels much better. "
"Wife is right." While they spoke, the two had already arrived at the side of the bed. Seeing that the beauty beside him was still frowning and thinking about something, a certain person's lips curled up — — come! To catch the enemy off guard, he had done quite a bit of research on tactics!
