People all recognized that the person with the silk gauze wrapped around her head was Princess Qingle, no wonder she was so arrogant. Although the wives and daughters of officials standing outside were indeed of lower status than Qingle, if they really came to a fight, the emperor would not favor a prince and princess who had no power and no palace left. But after all, they were well-mannered, and well-mannered people would not argue with those without quality.
So people took a look, then turned their heads back and continued doing what they were doing.
Feng Yuheng's eyes were always on the woman in red behind Qingle, even though she kept her head down, her face looked a little dark, and everyone thought she was Qingle's maid. But she knew that it was Feng Chenyu.
She had known for a long time that Feng Chenyu would find a way to sneak into the palace, but she thought that she would follow the path of the Third Prince, but she didn't expect that she would get involved with Princess Qingle.
Qingle got off the carriage and walked straight to the palace gate without queuing up. He was about to enter the palace directly, but was stopped by a maid.
Qingle frowned: "How bold!"
The palace maid was not so timid. She had been in the deep palace for many years and saw the emperor and the empress every day. How could she be scared by a princess of a different surname? Hearing Qingle's voice, the maid burst into laughter and said, "Princess Qingle, I am here to check the name cards of the female relatives entering the palace under the order of the empress. If the princess wants to force her way in, I will have to ask someone to report to the empress."
Qingle frowned and wanted to say a few more words, but saw Feng Chenyu behind him had already handed over the name card.
She didn't say anything else. It was better to have less trouble than more. She was already very angry about Feng Chenyu dressing like this today, and she didn't want to go on a business trip again at this time.
Seeing a maid handing over a name card, the old nanny looked at Chenyu with interest and made some plans in her mind.
A maid, dressed brighter than her master, I really don't know what she is here for. But Qingle always likes to stir up trouble, maybe this is a special arrangement, or she is going to perform at the palace banquet.
The old nanny didn't think any more about it. She took the name tag and examined it, then said to Qingle, "Normally, the princess should queue up. Look, there are so many ladies waiting behind, and it is really unfair for this old servant to check your name tag first. But since you are the princess, I will make an exception this time. I hope that the princess can arrive earlier next year and save the trouble of queuing." After saying that, she handed the name tag back. Qingle snorted coldly, and hurried into Queyuan Gate with Feng Chenyu.
Feng Yuheng looked away when she saw them walking away. Feng Xiangrong asked in a low voice, "Why did Princess Qingle wrap her head? It's so ugly to dress like that."
Feng Yuheng laughed, "She has to wrap it. I heard that the fire in Prince Ding'an's mansion burned her head, how can it grow out so quickly?"
After hearing this, Xiangrong naturally thought of Qingle's headless appearance and couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Feng Yuheng also saw Ren Xifeng and others, and quickly pulled Xiangrong over.
Ren Xifeng, Feng Tianyu and Bai Furong stood together, and were particularly happy to see Feng Yuheng coming over. However, Feng Yuheng frowned as he looked at the three of them: "You all stood together, and it looked like you came together, why didn't you call me?"
Bai Furong smiled and took her hand: "How could we come together? We just queued together." As she spoke, she turned around and smiled at a lady behind her: "Auntie Mei, can we add two more people?"
The woman she called Aunt Mei was obviously very familiar with Bai Furong, and she quickly stepped back half a step to let Feng Yuheng and Xiang Rong join in. The two of them quickly thanked the woman, and bowed to the people queuing behind them and also said thank you.
Everyone helped each other and was courteous, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Feng Yuheng introduced the three sisters to Xiangrong, and told her: "When you arrive at the palace banquet, you will see Princess Wuyang. You have also seen her several times."
It was the first time for Xiangrong to meet so many people, all of whom were daughters of wealthy families. She was a little nervous for a moment and didn't know how to say anything. She just nodded obediently.
Feng Yuheng had no choice but to say, "My third sister is just timid and has rarely been out of the house. Don't mind it!"
The sisters were talking and laughing, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Queyuan Gate. At this moment, another carriage came galloping on the palace road, much faster than Qingle's carriage, raising dust that flew far away, and even the nanny who was checking the name card coughed twice.
But still no one questioned this. Feng Yuheng still found it strange. Are all the wives and daughters of officials in the capital easy to talk to?
Bai Furong gently pulled her sleeve and whispered, "It's the Bu family's carriage."
Feng Yuheng didn't understand, "Bu family?"
Ren Xifeng turned around and said, "Ah Heng has just returned to the capital, so naturally he doesn't know the changes in the capital in recent years. The Bu family was originally a small official, and the highest official was only the sixth rank. But since the daughter of the Bu family climbed directly from a concubine to a noble concubine three years ago, the Bu family has also risen rapidly."
Bai Tianyu added: "Concubine Bu's father is now the Minister of Personnel, a second-rank official."
As they were talking, they saw the Bu family's carriage stop at the place where Princess Qingle had just parked. The curtain of the carriage opened slightly, and a woman stepped out of the carriage. She was wearing a purple dress that fluttered in the wind, her hair cascading like a waterfall, her skin was as white as cream, and her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting. She should have been a beautiful woman like water, but her face was as frosty as ice, and she stood proudly, like a cold pond of clear water.
Bai Furong whispered to Feng Yuheng and Xiangrong: "She is Concubine Bu's niece, Bu Nishang."
The old maid was much more enthusiastic when she saw Bu Nishang than when she saw Qingle. Not only did she take the initiative to step forward and greet her, she didn't even look at her name tag and was eager to let Bu Nishang into the palace gate.
Bu Nishang ignored her and just looked around the crowd, but her eyes fell on Feng Yuheng in the front row.
She blinked slowly, then walked towards Feng Yuheng. She stopped only when she was close to him. She stared at him for a long time before asking him, "You are the one who dealt with that bitch Qingle?"
Feng Yuheng also looked straight over, there was no cold light in his eyes, but he had the same carefree attitude as Xuan Tianming, and his whole body exuded a kind of noble laziness.
Bu Nishang frowned, and then she heard Feng Yuheng say, "Young lady, you should ask Xuan Tianming about this." She didn't even want to call him King Yu, and just said his name. Bu Nishang didn't change on the surface, but only Feng Yuheng could see it, and her pupils shrank twice unconsciously.
"Very good." Bu Nishang suddenly smiled, her chin slightly raised, and her arrogance increased a little more.
But she still felt frustrated in her heart. She had always looked down on everything, but now this pride could not penetrate Feng Yuheng's indifferent attitude, and she was even defeated after she said "Xuan Tianming".
Bu Nishang felt annoyed, so she turned around and walked straight into the palace.
The girls didn't understand what was going on. Feng Tianyu asked Feng Yuheng in a low voice, "I only heard that Bu Nishang and Qingle have always been at odds with each other. Why does she seem to be hostile to you as well?"
Feng Yuheng shrugged, "Who knows."
As they were talking, the old maid had already asked them for name tags. Several people handed over the name tags together. The other three old maids obviously recognized them and said some nice things. When it came to Feng Yuheng, they thought for a while, then read the name tag again, and then they were shocked-"Yu... Princess Yu? Oh!" The maid was very annoyed: "It's all because of my blindness. How dare I let Princess Yu wait for so long? I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Princess." She was about to kneel down.
Feng Yuheng quickly stopped the person. She could see that the old lady was really upset. She couldn't help but curse Xuan Tianming again in her heart, wondering what kind of reputation he had and why everyone was as surprised as if they had seen a ghost when they heard about him.
"Madam, please get up. I have only been engaged to His Royal Highness the Prince, but we haven't married yet."
"It's only a matter of time before you get married." The old nanny smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness Prince Yu values the princess? Everyone in the palace knows this, so the princess should not be modest." As she spoke, she personally led the few people to the palace gate, and then called a maid who was standing in line inside, "Hurry up and take Princess Yu and the other ladies to the Glazed Garden."
The little girl was also startled when she heard the words "Princess Yu", and hurried over to kneel and kowtow. Feng Yuheng was too lazy to stop her, and let her kowtow three times before saying, "Take us in quickly."
Finally, they were away from the magpie gate. Bai Furong smiled and said, "Awesome! Ah Heng, it turns out that I can get a lot of meat by following you."
Feng Yuheng said helplessly: "There is no meat, but there are medicines. Do you want them?"
"What medicine?" Several people's eyes lit up at the same time. In terms of medicine, Feng Yuheng represented the Yao family. When had the Yao family's medicine ever disappointed anyone?
Feng Yuheng told them: "I put them all in the carriage, and I will share them with you when we come out. I took them back to the mansion directly. These are some herbal teas I made myself, some for skin care and whitening, some for internal heat, and some for brightening eyes and growing better hair. You can take them home and drink them as tea every day. They are delicious and effective."
The girls were very happy to hear this, as they had never heard of such tea before and they were all looking forward to it.
Feng Yuheng said to Ren Xifeng again: "I heard that General Ren's legs and feet will get sick when it's cold. I prepared some plasters for him and will bring them to you later. If the general feels unwell again, I can go and see him in person. My grandfather is not in Beijing now. Although I am a little immature, I think my medical skills are still good."
Ren Xifeng was naturally grateful when he heard this. He held Feng Yuheng's hand and said, "I won't say much to thank you. For our family, my father's pain is the biggest concern. With your words, Ah Heng, my father will definitely be happy to know."
Feng Tianyu was thinking about Bu Nishang again: "Speaking of war, Concubine Bu's eldest brother seems to hold a quarter of the military power of our Dashun. He has been stationed in the East Border for the past few years and has not returned to the court for two full years."
Ren Xifeng nodded, "The Bu family has never relied on the second-rank Lord Bu, but on General Bu Cong in the east. Speaking of which, Ah Heng, you have some connection with that man..." [End of this chapter]
