Yan Meng took off her round fan and saw Feng Jiu coming. She took Feng Jiu's hand and asked, "Are you hungry, Nan Nan?"
"I'm not hungry yet. I came here to give Aunt Meng a present."
Yan Meng was curious, "Hasn't the gift from your mansion been delivered?"
"That's a gift from the Marquis' Mansion. This gift is mine."
Fengjiu took out a porcelain bottle from her bag. Inside the bottle was a beauty pill. Fengjiu handed the beauty pill to Yan Meng.
When Yan Meng saw the words "Beauty Pill" written on the porcelain bottle, she refused.
"Nannan, this gift is too valuable. I can't accept it. I know this pill is being snapped up like crazy in the capital. One pill costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Nannan, please take this pill back."
Fengjiu patted Yan Meng's hand with an expression that said, "Why are you so stupid?"
"Hey, just take it if I give it to you. I'll also give one to Uncle Xiao. This is my wedding gift to you. If Uncle Xiao eats it and you don't, then you'll be uglier than Uncle Xiao. I won't care."
Yan Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She held Feng Jiu's hand and said, "Nannan, it seems like we can never repay your kindness in this lifetime. Not only did you save Brother Jin's life, you also saved my life and gave us such a precious elixir."
As Yan Meng spoke, tears began to fall. Yan Meng also heard Xiao Shujin talk about how he was rescued. When she heard him say that, she was heartbroken.
Seeing her crying, Feng Jiu quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Oh, Aunt Meng, you are the bride today, you can't cry. When Uncle Xiao comes later, he will think I bullied you."
Yan Meng was amused by her words and took the beauty pill given by Feng Jiu. "Okay, I'll accept the pill. We will also have a gift for you in a few days. It will take a few more days, but we have been preparing for a long time."
"Hey, what gift have you prepared for me? Can you tell me first?"
Yan Meng doted on Feng Jiu's forehead and said, "I can't tell you now. I'll tell you when the gift is ready."
At this time, Fengjiu's maid said outside the door: "Miss, the mistress wants you to come over. The banquet is about to start."
Fengjiu and Yan Meng said goodbye and left.
The emperor and empress returned to the palace after watching the ceremony. Now the female guests are served the highest grade phoenix wine.
So Fengjiu was to sit in the main seat for the female guests. One of the old ladies, dressed in luxurious clothes, snorted coldly when she saw Fengjiu sitting in the main seat.
"Oh, these country girls have no manners. The elders in the family haven't even sat down yet, but she shamelessly sat down."
The maid who was leading Fengjiu frowned. The seats were all arranged in advance, and who sat where was specially arranged by people in the palace.
Feng Jiu glanced at the old lady and asked the maid beside her, "Whose family is this old lady from?"
The little maid replied respectfully, "This is the old lady of Baron Cheng'en's mansion, the general's cousin."
"Oh, what rank is the old lady?"
"I am the Empress's aunt, so I am considered the elder of this family."
"Oh, whose cousin are you? What does it have to do with me? Are you higher than me or the emperor?"
"Little girl, the Queen always calls me Aunt when she sees me. Why, are you older than the Queen?"
"So what I'm saying is that your family is more powerful than the Empress? This princess is the First Rank Protector of the Nation Princess personally appointed by the Emperor. Who do you think you are? Why are you pretending to be an elder in front of me? Come on, slap me in the face."
As soon as he finished speaking, An Yi came out from the dark and slapped him more than ten times, making his mouth bleeding.
After An Yi finished beating her, Feng Jiu said, "Go to the palace and ask the emperor if I should still pay my respects to this old lady?"
"Yes, Princess, I will enter the palace immediately."
The old lady was so anxious that she opened her mouth and all her teeth fell out.
At this time, Xiao Shujin and the prince also arrived, and they heard about what happened to the female guest.
Xiao Shujin frowned in displeasure. Before he could even open his mouth, the Crown Prince asked, "Should I bow to you too? You're someone I have nothing to do with, and yet you dare to act so presumptuously here? Who gives you the guts?"
The Crown Prince roared, and everyone fell to their knees. The few who had followed the old lady were so frightened that their faces turned pale. A girl around fourteen or fifteen years old knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, please calm down. My grandmother is old and can't speak. Please don't blame me."
The woman looked at the prince shyly, and the admiration in her eyes could not be hidden.
Xiao Shujin: "Who let you in? Did the general send you an invitation?"
Several people lowered their heads and said nothing. In fact, they did not receive an invitation. It was the daughter of this family who married the son of a concubine of a fourth-rank official in the court. Only then did she receive an invitation and brought her family in.
The prince said: "You like to address me as your elders, don't you? Fine, then kneel over there. We can talk after the banquet is over. Don't disturb everyone's enjoyment of the meal."
Several guards of the prince took the four people to the stone steps at the side and made them kneel. The four people did not dare to say anything. The old lady was so scared that she was trembling all over.
Xiao Shujin: "Nannan, are you okay?"
Feng Jiu shook her head, and the Crown Prince stepped forward and said, "Next time there are such blind people, just kill them directly. There's no need to waste time arguing with them. You are a princess of the first rank, you can't bear to be wronged."
Xiao Shujin, who was standing by, also agreed: "That's right, even I have to bow to you when I see you, who are they?"
The prince then asked everyone to stand up. Just as the female members of the Feng family were about to kneel down, they were stopped by the prince's men. At this time, only the Feng family and Prince Xiao Shujin were standing.
Feng Jiu waved her hands: "Didn't I ask An Yi to fight back? I didn't suffer any loss. Today is Uncle Xiao's big day, I don't want to see blood."
Xiao Shujin patted Fengjiu's head and said, "Don't suffer any loss in the future. No matter who she is, beat her first."
Fengjiu nodded obediently, and then everyone took their seats and prepared to start the meal.
The old woman's son also came today, and he ran away as soon as he saw this situation.
After the banquet, Xiao Shujin ordered people to throw those people out and not allow them to set foot in the general's mansion again.
The next day, Baron Cheng'en was stripped of his title and exiled to the wilderness.
The Feng family said something to Xiao Shujin and drove back home.
Xiao Shujin had the prince to help him block the drinking today, so he didn't drink much. He washed up and went into the bridal chamber.
The maid also consciously retreated. Xiao Shujin looked at the person in front of him, still feeling dazed that he had really married her.
His eyes fell on the bride, his eyes full of love and pity. The bride raised her head slightly, revealing her flower-like face, and her shy blush was like the sunset in the sky, which made the groom's heart tremble.
The two looked at each other, thousands of words flowing in their affectionate eyes, the red candles swayed, and the bridal chamber was filled with beauty.
The bride's moans and the groom's coaxing sounds were so audible that the maids and servants waiting at the door blushed.
