This shout startled everyone. Huang Quan jumped in front of Feng Yuheng and protected her in the blink of an eye. Qingle, who was originally kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped out, swiftly pulled out a hairpin from Feng Chenyu's head with his right hand, and ran straight towards Feng Yuheng and stabbed her.
Feng Yuheng didn't even try to dodge, but just looked at the crazy Qingle and Huang Quan who had already taken action. With a slight smile, Qingle was kicked far away by Huang Quan.
This was the first time Feng Chenyu saw the maids around her fighting. She only knew that the two maids sent by Prince Yu's Mansion were good at martial arts, but she didn't expect them to be so fierce.
She stared at Feng Yuheng blankly, seeing the coldness and courage in her sister's eyes, and suddenly she felt as if she didn't know this person. Whether it was the former legitimate daughter Feng Yuheng or the current concubine's daughter Feng Yuheng, it seemed that it shouldn't be like this.
She couldn't tell what was wrong with Feng Yuheng, but a feeling of despair gradually rose in her heart.
This sister, she seems... unable to defeat.
Qingle had been kneeling all night, and now she was kicked by Huangquan, and had already fainted in the process of flying out. There was only a thud when she landed, and no one came forward to help her.
The maid didn't mind Huang Quan kicking people at the palace gate. She was an old lady in the palace and had seen Huang Quan and Wang Chuan before. Who would dare to offend a maid used by Concubine Yun?
She looked at Feng Yuheng with a smile, ignoring the unconscious Qingle, and said respectfully: "Are you leaving the palace, Princess? Do you want me to arrange a carriage to take you there?" As she spoke, she cast her eyes towards the Feng family's carriage not far away.
Feng Yuheng smiled. The maids in the palace were indeed experts in door-keeping. She was not polite: "In that case, I'll trouble you, Madam."
"What are you talking about, Princess?" The maid bowed quickly and turned around to ask someone to prepare.
When Feng Yuheng got home in the palace carriage, it was already noon. Feng Jinyuan had told everyone what happened at the palace banquet last night after he brought Xiangrong back home. Now Chenyu was still kneeling outside the palace gate. Originally, the old lady wanted Feng Jinyuan to go and see her, but Feng Jinyuan felt that if he went, it might make the queen even angrier, so he could only arrange a carriage to pick her up, and he stayed in the mansion and waited silently.
Unfortunately, the daughter who waited for him to come back early in the morning was not Chenyu, whom he cared about the most, but Feng Yuheng.
"Have you seen your elder sister?" As soon as Feng Yuheng entered the mansion, Feng Jinyuan came up to her and asked this question.
She was slightly startled. She hadn't slept all night and was a little tired. Feng Jinyuan's question directly ignited the anger that she had been suppressing in her heart - "My daughter stayed in the palace for a night, and my father didn't even show any concern?"
Feng Jinyuan frowned and said bluntly: "You are back in good health! Your elder sister was punished to kneel at the palace gate, how can it compare to you being kept by the emperor for diagnosis."
She also frowned and looked at Feng Jinyuan, three words running through her mind like a thousand horses galloping and roaring - shameless!
"I didn't see it!" She was too lazy to say any more nonsense, so she turned around and walked towards Tongshengxuan with Huang Quan.
Feng Jinyuan also didn't sleep all night, and his temper was a bit irritable. Seeing that Feng Yuheng was so bold to talk to him like this, he shouted angrily: "Stop right there!"
Feng Yuheng didn't care, pretending not to hear, and walked straight ahead. But after walking a few steps, she was stopped by a maid who was jogging all the way - "Second Miss, the old lady invites you to Shuya Garden!" There was politeness and joy in her words, which was completely different from Feng Jinyuan's attitude.
Feng Yuheng nodded, took Huang Quan and followed the girl to Shuya Garden. Before leaving, he said to Feng Jinyuan, "If father has anything else to ask, why don't you go with Ah Heng to pay respects to grandmother? Big sister is the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, but she lowered herself to become Miss Qingle's maid. I really don't know what our family's status is in the capital."
Feng Jinyuan's face turned red and white. Seeing Feng Yuheng had already followed the maid to Shuya Garden, he stomped his feet helplessly and followed.
Unlike Feng Jinyuan who was thinking about Chenyu, the old lady and the entire Shuya Garden were all smiling because of Feng Yuheng's return. Zhao Ma was the first to come over. She didn't even bother to talk to Feng Jinyuan behind her, but bowed to Feng Yuheng first: "This old servant greets the second young lady! The second young lady has been busy in the palace all night and must be exhausted. The old lady asked someone to prepare pigeon soup before dawn to nourish the second young lady's body."
Feng Yuheng also smiled brightly, and said to Madam Zhao: "Thank you so much, Grandma, for your concern. In this mansion, Grandma is the only one who loves me the most!"
Zhao Ma Ma hurriedly led the people into the hall and followed her words, saying, "The old lady loves the second young lady very much. Not only did she prepare pigeon soup, she also ordered the best tailor in Beijing. She is waiting for the second young lady to return home to make new clothes for you."
"Oh?" Feng Yuheng was puzzled, "Why are you in such a hurry to make new clothes?"
As they were talking, the two had already entered the main hall. The old lady was sitting on the main seat, looking at Feng Yuheng with a kind face and a smile. The old lady took the initiative to answer her question: "Our Ah Heng won the phoenix-head golden hairpin, so naturally we have to match the golden hairpin with the most suitable and beautiful clothes."
So this is what you were thinking about.
Feng Yuheng raised the corner of her lips imperceptibly and bowed to the old lady: "Granddaughter pays respects to grandma. Thank you for your concern. It's my fault."
The old lady quickly gave Zhao Ma a look, and Zhao Ma went forward to help Feng Yuheng up. Then the old lady said again: "Ah Heng, there is nothing wrong with you. It is your blessing to be appreciated by the emperor and the empress, and it is also a blessing for our Feng Mansion. Your father and I are grateful to you for winning such a great reputation for the Feng family."
"Really?" Feng Yuheng turned slightly and looked at Feng Jinyuan who had already entered the hall: "I'm afraid father doesn't think this is a face."
"Hmph!" Feng Jinyuan swung his sleeves vigorously, and did not bother to greet the old lady. He sat directly on the chair beside him, staring at Feng Yuheng and said angrily: "You only know how to show off, but you don't care about your elder sister at all. There is no child like you in my Feng family!"
"Jinyuan!" The old lady was afraid that Feng Jinyuan's attitude would annoy Feng Yuheng, so she quickly stopped him, "Ah Heng is Ah Heng, and fighting for face is fighting for face, why are you dragging Chen Yu into this?" Seeing that Feng Jinyuan was still angry, she continued, "What is a phoenix-headed gold hairpin? Now that the emperor has given it to our Ah Heng, what else is this if not a great blessing for the Feng Mansion? As a father, you should not praise him, but why do you have to scold him?"
Hearing the old lady mention the phoenix-headed golden hairpin, Feng Jinyuan's anger subsided a little. To be honest, he was also shocked when Feng Yuheng got the phoenix-headed golden hairpin. Especially when Feng Yuheng shot those three arrows, not only did it completely destroy Bu Nishang's spirit, but it also amazed everyone present.
He could not forget the complex expressions of the officials when they looked at him. He knew that everyone envied and was jealous of him for having such a daughter. He himself was shocked but also confused.
He couldn't figure it out anyway, how could Feng Yuheng have changed so much after living in the mountains for three years? . It was understandable that his personality had changed, but where did his kung fu skills come from?
He calmed down slightly and looked at Feng Yuheng again, with a slight smile. "Ah Heng won the Phoenix Head Golden Hairpin, which is naturally an honor for the Feng family, but..." He felt uncomfortable when he thought of Chen Yu's incident: "Your elder sister is still kneeling at the palace gate. You got such a big face at the palace banquet, why don't you ask for mercy for your elder sister?"
Feng Yuheng took a deep breath. She rarely got angry, but facing the original owner's shameless father, she really wanted to rush forward and slap him hard a few times.
"Father, you must know how to be content. Although I am appreciated by the Emperor and Empress, if I don't know what is good for me and push my luck, the Feng family will lose everything." Her eyes gradually became fierce. "I won the Phoenix Head Golden Hairpin, which was given by the Emperor and put on by the Empress herself. The Emperor also allowed me to call him Father. It is such an honor, but the Feng family didn't even let me ride in a carriage. I am afraid that this matter has already spread to the palace."
The old lady was stunned. "What carriage?"
Feng Jinyuan was a little embarrassed, but felt that he had done the right thing, so he said: "My son sent a carriage to pick up Chenyu at the palace gate."
"Then how did Ah Heng come back?" The old lady seemed to have thought of something: "You only sent a carriage to pick up Chen Yu who was punished to kneel, but you didn't send another carriage to pick up Ah Heng?"
Feng Jinyuan lowered his head and said nothing.
Feng Yuheng said, "Grandmother, the old nanny at the palace gate saw that my granddaughter was really pitiful, so she prepared a palace carriage to send my granddaughter back to the palace. Otherwise... I'm afraid my granddaughter would have to walk back."
"You are confused!" The old lady was so angry that she slammed her staff on the ground. "Chenyu was punished by the emperor himself, while Ah Heng was praised by the emperor himself. How come you don't understand who is more important?"
Feng Jinyuan was a little annoyed by the old lady's scolding, and couldn't help but retort: "Why don't you understand? But no matter how much praise she gives, she is just a concubine's daughter! With the phoenix-headed golden hairpin in hand, the Ninth Prince is also a useless person with no hope of the throne! Who is the daughter that my Feng family wants to protect? Mother, you won't forget it, right?"
After he reminded her of this, the old lady, who had always been a fence-sitter, began to tilt her mind again. Yes, she was only happy that Feng Yuheng got the phoenix-head golden hairpin, but she forgot that the ninth prince had no hope of the throne!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the main hall became more and more depressing. The old lady and Feng Jinyuan's thoughts were racing, especially the old lady, whose eyes were rolling around and her mind was complicated.
Last night, when she heard Feng Jinyuan talking about the palace banquet, her whole heart was attracted by the phoenix-headed golden hairpin. She knew that getting the phoenix-headed golden hairpin was equivalent to getting half of the world. The emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, but he awarded the phoenix-headed golden hairpin at this year's palace banquet. Is this a disguised way of identifying the future crown prince?
To her, no matter whether it was Feng Chenyu or Feng Yuheng, or even Xiang Ronghe Fendai, as long as they were children of the Feng family, regardless of whether they were legitimate or illegitimate, if they received the phoenix-head golden hairpin, it would be the glory of the entire Feng family.
So she ignored Chenyu who was still kneeling at the palace gate and was bent on currying favor with Feng Yuheng. But now that her son reminded her of this, the old lady felt that the golden hairpin was not as good as she had imagined.
She subconsciously turned her gaze towards Feng Yuheng, wanting to ask if the emperor had said anything else about her not coming back that night.
But Feng Yuheng had a dark face at the moment, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, he stood up from the chair, and walked towards Feng Jinyuan step by step.
Feng Jinyuan only felt an unprecedented sense of oppression coming hurriedly with Feng Yuheng's footsteps, just like the three arrows shot at the palace banquet, and he became the bull's eye. As Feng Yuheng got closer and closer, his breathing actually stopped.
"Father——" Finally, she walked in front of Feng Jinyuan, leaned forward with her hands on the corner of the table, and pressed her little face forward——"Who did you just say was a useless person?" [End of this chapter]
