Xiangrong rarely talked to people like this. She was usually gentle and even a little timid. ↙Eight↙Eight↙Reading↙,.※.o◇But now that these words came out, even Feng Yuheng couldn't help but want to cheer for her.
The little girl had finally grown up, no longer following behind her weakly, no longer having to wait for her to take the lead in everything, and no longer having to be slapped in the face at the Ruimen Gate during the palace banquet that year. Xiangrong now knew how to fight back and what words to use to fight back to achieve the best effect.
For example, now, when Xiangrong said this, those ladies who were originally speaking foul language were also startled, and immediately reflected on themselves. They realized that they were indeed only concerned with envy, jealousy and hatred, and forgot that when they said those words, they were anxious to defile the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua who was as holy as water in their hearts. And defilement of Xuan Tianhua was not allowed in their hearts, even if they defiled it themselves, they would feel guilty. Therefore, when Xiangrong said this, those people immediately stopped moving, and did not even dare to say a word of rebuttal. They just wanted to recite Amitabha in their hearts a few more times, hoping that the gods did not hear what they just said, and even more hoped that it would not be passed on to Xuan Tianhua's ears.
Due to the changes in the palace situation this year, Feng Yuheng lost the qualification to enter the palace early and no longer had the privileges she had in the past. She could only queue up outside the Rui Gate with everyone else, shivering in the cold wind on such a cold day.
She was not the only one who lost the exception. They had only stood at the end of the line for a short while when Xuan Tiange and Feng Tianyu came over from the front and stood with Feng Yuheng and Xiangrong. Without waiting for Feng Yuheng to ask, Xuan Tiange took the initiative to say, "I had the same fate as you. The people guarding the palace gate wouldn't let me in first, saying that I was just a princess of a prince's family, not the emperor's woman, and had no right to enter the palace early. Even my mother was blocked back, and she was so angry that she simply claimed to be sick and went home, and didn't want to attend this useless palace banquet. Ah Heng, if I hadn't come to see the emperor's uncle, or if I hadn't wanted to see what he had become with my own eyes, I would have gone back with my mother. It's really depressing to attend this lousy palace banquet!" Xuan Tiange muttered, holding Feng Yuheng and Xiangrong's hands, with an unhappy look on his face.
Feng Yuheng could understand her feelings, of course. Even she, who was later named Princess Ji'an, felt quite embarrassed, not to mention a princess of a country. But what could be done? The palace was the world of Concubine Yuan Shu. They entered the palace today on thin ice, and they no longer had the glory of the past.
Thinking of this, Feng Yuheng whispered to Xuan Tiange and Feng Tianyu: "Today is different from the past. Let's sit together after entering the palace. You should be more patient and don't get angry. Some things can be just listened and seen. If you have any questions, we can talk about it after we leave the palace. Got it?"
Xuan Tiange frowned and asked her in a low voice: "Is the situation in the palace very serious?"
Feng Tianyu also said: "I heard from my father that the current emperor is completely different from the past. Sometimes he feels that there is someone wearing a human skin mask sitting on the dragon throne. Ah Heng, you must know more than us. Why don't you tell us so that we can have an idea in our hearts and avoid trouble after entering the palace."
Feng Yuheng thought about it, but it was inconvenient to elaborate, so he just said: "The emperor is still the same emperor as before, but he is controlled by a special method, so that his temperament has changed drastically, and he looks like a completely different person. But all this is not the emperor's intention, he himself does not know what he is doing, we are also trying our best to find a way to save it, but we don't have a good idea now. This matter is very tricky, it is not appropriate to say more here, anyway, you have to know the situation in your mind, and be careful after entering the palace, especially with Concubine Yuan Shu and the Eighth Prince, try to have as little contact as possible, or simply not have contact."
Feng Yuheng didn't mean to scare them, but the current situation in the palace was like this. They were all members of the Ninth Prince's faction, and there was no guarantee that the other party would take the initiative to pick a fight. Of course, they were not afraid of being picked on, but in the current situation, it was better to have less trouble than more. Everything had to wait until the crisis on Emperor Tianwu's side was resolved before revenge could be taken and grievances could be avenged.
Xuan Tiange and Feng Tianyu both frowned, looking worried. Meanwhile, the ladies who were previously speechless due to Xiangrong seemed to have recovered. They felt that they were afraid that they would not be able to win the battle with words, so they might as well be more direct. Anyway, they only disliked this Third Miss Feng, so they would teach her a lesson and not let her have an easy time today.
Then a young lady squeezed in front of Xiangrong and without saying a word, she stepped hard on the upper of Xiangrong's shoe. After stepping on her, she did not forget to blame her and shouted: "You are a daughter of a lowly family, where are you putting your feet? You almost made me fall!"
Looking at Xiangrong again, not only was a big mark left on her embroidered shoes, but the accessories at the hem of her skirt were also crushed. Yet, the young lady was still yelling and cursing, saying that Xiangrong had delayed her from landing.
Xiangrong was so aggrieved that tears welled up in her eyes. Xuan Tiange wanted to step forward and make a decision for Xiangrong, but was stopped by Feng Yuheng. But Feng Yuheng raised her voice and said to Xiangrong: "Xiangrong, you are now fourteen years old and a grown-up girl. You can't wait for your second sister to make decisions for you in everything. Remember, the principle of our Feng family is that I won't offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, then there is no need to be polite. I will scold them and beat them. Don't worry about being known by the people who can make decisions in the palace. No one will bring such a small matter to the palace, because if the ladies even intervene in the fights between little girls, it would be too embarrassing."
In one sentence, the people who wanted to spread Feng Yuheng's words to the palace stopped thinking about it, for fear that they would annoy the ladies by saying too much. It was just a quarrel and fight between little girls outside the palace. If the ladies had to worry about such a thing, it would be like killing a chicken with a butcher knife. It was unnecessary.
Xiangrong nodded after hearing what Feng Yuheng said. Although she didn't want to fight with anyone, she still looked down at the accessory on her skirt that was stepped on and felt a little distressed. Then she looked at the skirt of the culprit, which also had an accessory pressed on it. So she squatted down and tore off the accessory without saying a word. She pulled with more force, so that the hem of the lady's skirt was torn into pieces, causing her to scream.
But this cry attracted the shout of the palace guards who were patrolling to maintain order: "No noise allowed outside the palace gate." These words put an end to the young lady's intention to quarrel with Xiangrong.
She gritted her teeth in anger, and said unwillingly and viciously: "You are not worthy of His Highness the Seventh Prince!"
But at this moment, another imperial carriage appeared on the road they came from, and hurried over here. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to find that it was actually the imperial carriage of Prince Chun's mansion, and it was the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua who had gone there and returned.
Xuan Tianhua got off the car amidst everyone's expectant and puzzled gazes. The ladies who had previously cursed and swore at him all stopped talking. They stared at Xuan Tianhua devoutly, almost kneeling down to worship him. But Xuan Tianhua ignored them and headed straight for Xiangrong, with a woman's cloak draped over his arm. 》≠》≠,
When he got closer, he said, "You got off the car in a hurry and forgot your cloak in the car. You have to wait outside for a while, be careful not to catch a cold." After that, he personally put the cloak on Xiangrong and tied the belt in front. Then he patted her shoulder and said, "Wait for me outside the Rui Gate after the palace banquet. I will come to pick you up and take you back to the palace together."
A few words made all the ladies gasp, wondering if this god had descended to earth? Why was he so kind to this concubine? Every word was ambiguous, and they blushed and were jealous. They wished they were the ones who were covered in the cloak and taken care of. As long as they could get a word of care from the Seventh Prince, they would be happy to die!
But Xuan Tianhua was not able to show any concern for them. On the contrary, he gave everyone a piece of advice because of his previous words. He said, "I don't want any kind of woman to accompany me, and you cannot say whether she is suitable or not." After saying that, he finally turned around and returned to the imperial carriage. It was not until the imperial carriage gradually went far away and could no longer be seen that these ladies came back to their senses and looked at Xiangrong with even more jealousy, but they could not say a word.
Xuan Tiange was surprised and nudged Xiangrong with his elbow, teasing, "You silly girl, have you captured my seventh brother? How come I didn't know about such a big thing? Did you do a too good job of keeping it a secret?"
Xiangrong's face had been flushed since Xuan Tianhua put the cloak on her. She was so embarrassed! When Xuan Tiange asked her this, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. But she always remembered what Yun Fei and Feng Yuheng had said. They said that girls should not be too submissive, but should make decisions for themselves and take the initiative. So her heart became clear again. She took another look at the lady who stepped on her shoes before, and reached out to return the accessory that she had torn off the corner of her skirt. After the lady took it, she continued, "As you know, I now live in Prince Chun's mansion. You can use your imagination and imagine what happened between me and His Highness the Seventh Prince. As long as you have the heart to defile the most holy person in the world, I have nothing to say. In short, all this is my own choice and has nothing to do with you. Instead of feeling jealous and feeling sorry for me, it is more important to think more about your own affairs. Girls all have a day to get married. Only fools will worry about others all day long. Today is the first day of the new year. It is unlucky to cause trouble. Everyone understands this rule, right?"
She said a few words calmly, leaving everyone speechless. Afterwards, some people said that the daughters of the Feng family were all good at speaking. Feng Yuheng was good at speaking, and Feng Chenyu in the past was not bad either. There was also Feng Fendai who was even more powerful. Now, we know that the most cowardly one is not easy to mess with!
Finally, the long queue began to move forward in an orderly manner. People handed in their notes one by one and entered the palace. Finally, Feng Yuheng and his party also walked into the Rui Gate. As soon as they entered the palace, Xuan Tiange said, "This palace where I grew up looks so strange today? Even the air is not as fresh as before!"
