Bu Nishang was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word. The blood from her fingers kept flowing, and her face became paler and paler.
Feng Yuheng glanced at her and reminded the palace maids around him: "Take Miss Bu downstairs to rest quickly. Remember to call the imperial physician. She will faint if she loses too much blood."
Bu Nishang cursed Feng Yuheng's ancestors in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She held her wrist and left with the eunuch.
Today, she was the only one who came to the Bu family. Minister Bu died, Concubine Bu was disabled, and Bu Cong had not returned to Beijing since he went out to look for Feng Yuheng. His father, Bu Baiqi, was afraid that something might happen, so he asked for leave early in the morning to look for his son. Bu Nishang had her finger bitten off by a cat today. It was a pity that there was no one to accompany her. Even the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi avoided her, for fear of angering the emperor again.
"As soon as I arrived at Gong Yanbu's house, I saw blood. It's so annoying." Someone shouted in a muffled voice. The already quiet scene of the palace banquet seemed even more eerie because of this sentence.
No one knew who had the guts to say that. When people looked in the direction of the voice, they saw the person who was speaking was waving his hand at Feng Yuheng, saying, "Girl, go and keep your Aunt Lan company. She misses you two so much." It turned out to be Wang Xuanmou, the King of Literature. "Your mother doesn't usually come out to walk around. I really don't know what your father meant by that. Did he lock the gate and lock her up?"
Prince Wenxuan is the only brother of the current emperor. No one dares to ignore the weight of his words. Even Feng Jinyuan, the left prime minister, could only feel helpless when he heard Prince Wenxuan speak like this. "Your Majesty, you are too serious." Then he quickly said to Feng Yuheng, "Go and talk to the princess!"
Feng Yuheng smiled and bowed to Prince Wenxuan, then turned and walked towards Princess Wenxuan.
Then someone in the crowd behind him said, "Thanks to the medicine Ah Heng gave me last time, my leg is really getting better. Feng Jinyuan, are you treating my benefactor like this?"
Feng Yuheng did not stop, the corners of her lips curled up, she could tell that the person who was speaking was General Pingnan, Ren Xifeng's father.
I gave him some plaster for his leg injury before, and it seems to be effective.
Before Feng Jinyuan could answer, Right Prime Minister Feng Ping also spoke: "I only knew that Prime Minister Feng was ruthless in government affairs, but I didn't expect that he was the same to his family."
Feng Jinyuan didn't dare to get angry with the royal family, and he was also wary of General Pingnan, but he was not afraid of Feng Ping at all. The two had served in the same court for many years, and they always looked at problems from opposite sides. For one thing, Feng Ping said one, and Feng Jinyuan would say two; Feng Jinyuan said east, and Feng Ping would definitely say west. The emperor was happy to watch the two of them fight, anyway, in the end, they would always get a good result for the difficult problem, which was also his way of controlling people.
As soon as Feng Ping opened his mouth, Feng Jinyuan immediately became angry and turned around to retort, "Is it possible that Lord Feng is very indulgent towards the younger generation in your family?"
Feng Ping laughed loudly. "I can't say I'm indulgent, but at least if my daughter disappeared when my house caught fire, I would sell everything I had and search the whole world to find her, instead of just pretending to look for her for a day or two and then saying that she's dead."
"How do you know I didn't try hard enough to find it?" Feng Jinyuan was puzzled. How come everyone seemed to know about the ancestral home in Fengtong County? He had clearly issued a gag order to the Feng family. So where did the news leak from?
"You know the answer in your heart after searching for a few days. Prime Minister Feng, I advise you not to make any more excuses on this matter, otherwise it will anger me. I will ask the emperor to make a fair judgment."
This touched Feng Jinyuan's weak spot. Not only was he afraid of the emperor, he was even more afraid that the truth of this matter would be known by too many people. He was the prime minister after all, and it would be very uncomfortable if someone used this matter to stab him in the back. What's more, the emperor was originally on Feng Yuheng's side, so it would be fine if no one mentioned it. If someone really helped to investigate this incident, it would be strange if he got any benefit.
After realizing this, Feng Jinyuan honestly shut up, turned around, and no longer wanted to care about Feng Ping.
Unfortunately, his voluntary retreat did not mean that everyone would stop picking on him. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his calf, and his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, someone around him helped him up, so he didn't feel too embarrassed.
Feng Jinyuan's face turned pale again. The pain was caused by being kicked. He could clearly feel a kick on his calf, not heavy or not. He was just caught off guard and almost fell down. However, the person who dared to kick the prime minister so blatantly made him wary.
He steadied himself, hurriedly thanked the person who was holding him, and then turned around to look at the culprit. But his head turned away, but he didn't see anyone. Just as he was surprised, he heard a childish but angry voice coming from below his sight - "I trust you, so I temporarily leave my wife in your Feng family, but you don't know how to be more careful! How do you treat my wife like this?"
The whole audience was silent.
Feng Yuheng was sitting next to Princess Wenxuan. She had just put an apple in her mouth, but before she could chew it, she heard a voice. The apple piece slid down her throat and almost choked her to death.
Xuan Feiyu, my God, what’s wrong with this kid?
Feng Jinyuan also saw Xuan Feiyu, and his emotions were broken. The royal family itself was not easy to mess with. Even a Wenxuan King who went against him was enough to make him suffer. How could anyone afford to mess with this little grandson of the emperor? It was said that this kid dared to go against Xuan Tianming, and he was the only one who would not be scolded by the emperor. Who could care?
Feng Jinyuan asked the child with a bitter face: "Little grandson, what did you just say?" If he heard correctly, the child was talking about his wife. Where did a little kid get a wife? What does it have to do with his Feng family?
After hearing his question, Xuan Feiyu was very dissatisfied and rolled his eyes and said, "My wife is the fairy sister, the fairy sister you bullied!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look around and finally found Feng Yuheng. He shouted, "Fairy sister, you are back! Feiyu missed you so much!" After shouting, he ran all the way and threw himself directly into Feng Yuheng's arms.
Feng Yuheng had just spit out the apple pieces and was about to drink some water to calm his nerves, but Xuan Feiyu pounced on him, spilling the water in his hand and almost falling off the chair.
She was speechless: "Where do you get so much strength?"
"Maybe I took too much supplements when I was healing my leg injury." The chubby boy answered as a matter of course, holding Feng Yuheng's neck tightly with his two little arms. Feng Yuheng tried to pull him down several times but failed, so he had to let him go. "Sister, they all said you were dead, but Feiyu didn't believe it. You are a fairy, how could you die? It doesn't matter if your father doesn't like you. Marry into my family, my father and mother will treat you well."
"Ahem!" Someone coughed twice, "You little bastard, are you trying to steal my wife?" Xuan Tianming tapped the golden mask with one finger, again and again, making the people around him panic.
But Xuan Feiyu was obviously not afraid of him. He raised his chin and said loudly: "The two of us can compete fairly!"
With just one sentence, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Children's words are innocent, and no matter how outrageous they say, they always show a bit of innocence, which is many times better than the intrigues of adults.
The unhappiness caused by the Feng family at the palace banquet was also diluted. The second prince smiled bitterly and said to Xuan Tianming: "You are angry if it's just a child. Last time my sister-in-law cured his leg, he called me Fairy Sister every day after he went back. This time, he said that my sister-in-law had an accident in the ancestral home, and he cried for a long time at home."
Xuan Tianming also shrugged and smiled, "Second brother, don't take it to heart. I watched Tianyu grow up, and I love him so much, how can I blame him?"
The second prince breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good. This child must be taken care of by her mother when she returns, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble she will cause me in the future."
Because of Xuan Feiyu's appearance, the palace banquet finally felt a little warmer, and those nervous people began to relax. The singing and dancing began, and the winter chill faded a little.
Feng Yuheng held Xuan Feiyu and teased him, sometimes conjuring up a piece of chocolate, sometimes taking out some snacks, which made Xuan Feiyu laugh non-stop. Xiangrong also came closer, and seeing that Xuan Feiyu was really cute, she also plucked up the courage to tease him a few times. Xuan Feiyu felt that Xiangrong was also quite compatible with him, so he stretched out his little arms and hugged her neck for a while, making Xiangrong almost cry with joy.
When Chenyu and Fendai saw this scene not far away, they were burning with jealousy, especially Chenyu. Without the title of a legitimate daughter, those ladies who used to smile at her no longer paid any attention to her, and even treated Fendai worse than her. She could not accept this at all.
She couldn't help but cast her gaze towards the third prince Xuan Tianye, but before her sight could focus, her vision suddenly blurred and a noble concubine in gorgeous clothes stood in front of her.
Fendai was the first to react. She quickly stood up and saluted the man: "Fendai greets Princess Xiang."
Chenyu also recognized him, but her brows were furrowed and hostility burst out of her eyes.
Princess Xiang ignored Fendai and only looked at Chenyu with contempt. Then she raised her hand and said to Fendai, "Stand up! We are both concubines, but you know the etiquette very well. You are much better than this person."
Fendai was feeling proud, but Chenyu was angry and was about to retort, but Yilin beside her grabbed her arm tightly, and then helped her to stand up while saying, "Princess, please don't blame me. My daughter accidentally fell into the water when she came to the island's heart lake. She was a little frightened, so she didn't have time to greet you."
Chenyu gritted her teeth, listening to Yilin's words which were obviously trying to save her face. She knew in her heart that no matter how angry she was, she had to swallow it. So she adjusted her thoughts, bent down and said, "Chenyu greets Princess Xiang."
Unexpectedly, she heard Princess Xiang sneer, "I don't care if it sinks the fish or not, but you have to be careful not to sink yourself."
Chen Yu was startled and stood up on her own initiative. She raised her head to look at Princess Xiang, only to find that she had already walked away, and the direction she walked was exactly where the group of princes were.
The third prince Xuan Tianye naturally noticed the movement over there, but he couldn't hear what the two were talking about. When he saw Princess Xiang walking towards him, he took the initiative to stand up and took two steps forward to greet her.
After all, the emperor personally ordered him to be treated, so it would not be good for him to be too cold. Feng Jinyuan was a lesson for him.
Princess Xiang smiled calmly and generously, and stood side by side with Xuan Tianye and the other two. When she turned around to look at Feng Chenyu, she happened to see her pair of eyes filled with anger.
Xuan Tianye did not look at Feng Chenyu again. Not to mention that he had no reason to marry a wife now, the fact that Chenyu had been changed from a legitimate daughter to a concubine's daughter was enough to make him hesitate.
What about the fate of a phoenix? How can a woman who is the mother of the country be born out of wedlock? Such a chess piece is better off not being used! [End of this chapter]
