Chapter 16 Imperial Garden



However, at this moment, it's not appropriate to refute the princess.

Murong Wan: "Xiao'er, alright, alright. Aunt Wan will bring her over to play with you whenever she has time. But Xiao'er can also go to the Phoenix Prince's Mansion."

Rong Xiao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Before, if she wanted to leave the palace, she could only go to Rong Wang's residence. Now, she could also go to Feng Wang's residence. She was very happy.

The Empress said, "You've gone mad at the mention of leaving the palace. Let's eat something first; it's still early before the banquet."

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet usually starts in the afternoon, so people don't eat much at noon; this is a tradition that has been passed down for many years.

Several young girls were chattering away. Several wealthy women watched them, talking and laughing.

"Ah, if Feng'er were still here..."

"Yes, many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Alright, so many years have passed, let's not talk about it anymore."

Of the three, Murong Wan was the most clear-headed.

It's not that she doesn't want to bring it up, but it's pointless anyway; the person won't come back to life.

After the girls finished their snacks, they ran off to play, leaving a few noble ladies from the imperial city behind to drink tea and reminisce in the palace.

Several girls were admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden, chatting and laughing, occasionally picking a couple and tucking them behind their ears.

The smiling faces of the girls, combined with the vibrant colors of the flowers, created a scene of breathtaking beauty, enough to shame the moon and make fish sink and geese fall from the sky.

But this beautiful moment was interrupted by screams.

"Who are you? This is the Imperial Garden. How dare you break the orchids planted by the Empress Dowager?"

A girl in a green palace dress pointed at Feng Qinghuang and roared angrily.

Who is this person? She's so beautiful, more beautiful than any woman she's ever seen. She doesn't look very old now, but when she grows up, countless people will be drawn to her.

Feng Qinghuang didn't know her, so she didn't intend to pay any attention to her.

When Rongyang saw that this person was ignoring her, her anger flared even more.

"How dare you! I, the princess, am asking you a question!"

When Feng Qinghuang heard her say that she was a princess, she thought it would be inappropriate not to reply.

"Her Majesty the Empress invited us to come and have fun; she didn't say we couldn't fold them."

"Hmph, my mother only invited you to come here out of politeness, and you actually dared to overstep the bounds. You are simply too naive."

"And who are you? Why don't you bow to me, the princess?" Rong Yang had never seen her before and assumed she was a subject's daughter from some family, so he didn't take her seriously at all.

Just as Feng Qinghuang was about to retort, another voice came out.

"Who will bow to you, Rong Yang?" Rong Xiao emerged from the flower bushes, followed by Rong Qing.

Rongyang looked at her elder sister with some fear. Her elder sister had never liked them younger sisters since childhood, and she was also very powerful, so no one dared to mess with her.

Rongyang quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, elder sister."

"Royal elder sister, don't you know that this woman, whose family you don't know, was shoving the orchids that Empress Zhe has been carefully cultivating? I just reprimanded her, and she didn't even bow to me when she saw me?"

Rong Xiao chuckled: "She is not the daughter of a minister."

Upon hearing Rong Xiao's words, Rong Yang immediately perked up; it turned out she wasn't even the daughter of a minister. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Rong Xiao's next sentence.

"She is the daughter of Uncle Feng Wang."

Rong Yang's heart skipped a beat. So she was the daughter of some killing god. No wonder she was so beautiful. He had heard that her mother was once ranked the number one beauty.

However, she can't afford to offend her father...

But she's a princess, so what if her father is the Phoenix Prince?

Rong Yang: "But although she is a princess, I am a princess. Not bowing is disrespectful. Moreover, she picked flowers, which is even more disrespectful to the Empress."

Rong Xiao: "I asked her to pick them. What, do you expect me, the princess, to bow to you and punish me?"

"My royal sister wouldn't dare."

What could Rong Yang say at this point? She didn't have Rong Xiao's noble status, so she naturally didn't dare to refute her, otherwise she would be the one to suffer.

"Hmph, Sister Huang, Sister Qing, let's go."

Feng Qinghuang feigned grievance: "Sister Xiao, Sister Qing, wouldn't it be bad if I didn't bow to her? What if she punishes me later?"

Feng Qinghuang already had a delicate baby face, and now she looked so pitiful and wronged.

Rong Xiao: "She dares."

Rong Xiao held Feng Qinghuang's hand: "Sister Huang, don't worry. If she dares to punish you, I'll make her regret it."

Feng Qinghuang was delighted: "Yes, thank you, Sister Xiao. Let's go."

When Feng Qinghuang reached out to take Rong Qing's hand, she secretly gave Rong Yang two ice needles when no one was looking.

Hmph, you dare to yell at her? She's not one to be trifled with.

Feng Qinghuang pulled Rong Qing and Rong Xiao along happily as they walked forward.

Rong Yang watched the departing figures, furious, and tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

It was bad enough that Rong Qing and Rong Xiao looked down on her, but now there's Feng Qinghuang added to the mix. It's infuriating!

I heard she's been living in the mountains for over ten years. Isn't she just a wild child who came down from the mountains? Just wait and see how she deals with her tonight.

Feng Qinghuang was having a great time and didn't care what Rong Yang was thinking; she wasn't afraid anyway.

Just as Rong Yang was about to turn around and leave, her legs suddenly started to hurt so badly that she couldn't stand up and fell to her knees. It was excruciatingly painful.

What's going on? What's wrong with my leg? It was fine just now, why does it suddenly hurt so much?

Rong Yang was about to stand up when he knelt down again.

"Aren't you coming over here to help this princess?"

"Go, find the imperial physician for this princess."

The palace maids carried Rongyang quickly towards her bedchamber, while the others went to find the imperial physician, after all, she was a princess.

Rongyang shouted loudly as she was carried back to Qingyang Palace.

Soon the imperial physician arrived. After examining her, he was puzzled. There was nothing wrong with her leg. What was the princess up to now? Did she want the emperor's attention?

Because this method is not uncommon in the imperial harem.

Imperial Physician: "Your Highness, I have not found any injury on your leg. It is likely that you have been standing for a long time, which has caused a sudden loss of blood circulation?"

Rong Yang: "Impossible, it's that kind of excruciating pain, how could it be from standing for a long time? How can you be so useless?"

Rong Yang was in a lot of pain at the moment, so he spoke without thinking.

The imperial physician was also short-tempered. He had been in the palace for decades, and even the empress and the imperial concubine had never spoken to him in such a tone.

The imperial physician said, "I am of limited knowledge and skills. Please ask the princess to find someone else."

After finishing his speech, the imperial physician turned and left.

"Come back! Come back to me, you princess!"

The imperial physician pretended not to hear, picked up his medicine box, and walked straight out of the palace.
