Zhao Mama never expected to see the old lady of the Bu family coming out of the palace, chatting and laughing with others, and being treated with courtesy by the palace maid in charge. (om Junzi Juyitang.com) [Please go to 800 to read the latest chapter of this book].
Isn't the Bu family...already almost ruined? Concubine Bu is dead, Bu Nishang has been sent to the temple, how come old lady Bu is still in such a state?
She was confused for a moment and watched Old Lady Bu get on the carriage and leave. Then she quickly walked towards Xiangrong.
Xiangrong also saw Old Lady Bu, and his already tense heart became even more tense.
Xuan Tianhua stood beside her with his hands behind his back. It was very cold but he didn't even wear a cloak, but he didn't look cold. Nanny Zhao came forward and called out, "Miss San." Then she knelt on the ground and said to Xuan Tianhua, "This old servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Chun. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years."
Xuan Tianhua raised his hand and said, "Get up."
Xiangrong stepped forward and helped Madam Zhao up, and asked, "Is grandma worried? The Seventh Prince and I have been waiting here, but the Second Sister has not come out."
Madam Zhao sighed and said, "The old lady hasn't even had dinner yet, she's still thinking about this place."
Xuan Tianhua looked at the two of them and said helplessly: "Why don't I take you to the palace? You're always waiting here..." As he spoke, he looked at Xiangrong's hands, which were already red from the cold, "You're already frozen."
"Can I enter the palace?" The old nanny felt nervous for no reason. She had followed the old lady into the palace before in her life, but they were all for banquets. Today's event was different.
Xuan Tianhua nodded, "Follow me, of course you can."
Xiangrong did not agree: "We can't trouble His Highness the Seventh Prince too much. We can just wait outside the palace gate. As for you, Your Highness, it's cold outside. You should not wait with Xiangrong. Now that Nanny Zhao is here, we can just stay here."
Xuan Tianhua did not answer, but pointed towards the palace gate - "No one needs to wait any longer, they are coming out."
The two looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, they saw Feng Yuheng pushing Xuan Tianming out. One of them was dressed in white, and the other in purple, walking in the snow, looking stunningly beautiful.
Xiangrong looked at the two and subconsciously murmured, "It looks like nothing is wrong, right?"
Xuan Tianhua laughed again, "I told you to trust her." After saying that, he stepped forward to greet her.
"Seventh Brother." Feng Yuheng called out from a distance, "Why are you here?" Looking behind him, he saw Xiangrong, whose face had turned red from the cold, and Aunt Zhao, who looked worried.
Xuan Tianming explained to her while sitting in a wheelchair: "It seems that your third sister went to find the seventh sister, and the nanny was sent by the old lady."
Xuan Tianhua had already arrived in front of the two of them and nodded, "Ming'er guessed correctly."
Xiang Rong and Nanny Zhao also rushed over. They were busy paying their respects to Xuan Tianming. When he stood up again, they crowded around him and kept asking, "Second Miss, are you okay? Second Sister, did the Emperor punish you?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "I am just a little girl, and I haven't violated any palace rules or family regulations. What should I be punished for?"
Madam Zhao carefully looked at Feng Yuheng, then looked at Xuan Tianming. From their expressions, it was indeed clear that they did not look like they were being punished, so she heaved a sigh of relief.txt download/
"That's good. I can go back and tell the old lady that I'm safe. Will the second young lady go back with me? What about the third young lady?"
Xiangrong pointed behind him and said, "I have a carriage coming. Mammy, please go back first."
"Okay." Just as Madam Zhao was about to leave, Feng Yuheng stopped her, "We are going to Xianya Tower for dinner. Madam, please come with us. I will ask the cook to make a few dishes and you can bring them back to your grandmother."
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she nodded and said, "It just so happens that the old lady can't eat, so we can bring the food back to her to change her taste."
The group got on the carriage, and because Xuan Tianming's carriage was big enough, everyone sat together, including Xiangrong, Zhao Mama, and Huang Quan Qingshuang. The other empty carriages followed behind, which was quite impressive.
In the carriage, whether intentionally or not, Xuan Tianming actually pulled Feng Yuheng's hand and said to her, "It's okay, don't take it to heart. I didn't want the throne anyway."
No one else reacted to this statement, but Nanny Zhao felt a little uneasy when she heard it. She couldn't tell what she felt, but her fear, which had just been relieved, was lifted up again.
The throne? Could it be that the emperor originally planned to pass the throne to the ninth prince? Now that his leg cannot be cured, has he completely given up this idea? If so, then the second young lady's sin is too great!
She hoped Xuan Tianming could say a few more words so that she could analyze it with the old lady when she got back. Unfortunately, Xuan Tianming said nothing after that. The few of them sat in the carriage in silence until the carriage stopped by the lake outside Xianya Tower. Only then did they hear the guard driving the carriage say, "Your Highness, we're here."
Everyone got off the car one by one, and a boat came to pick them up on the lake. The boat was not big, and there were two people in it. Feng Yuheng was naturally with Xuan Tianming, and Xiangrong was also helped to his boat by Xuan Tianhua. Huang Quan and Qingshuang were naturally together. Zhao Ma could only sit in the last boat with Meixiang, the maid brought by Xiangrong, in a depressed mood. This gave her time to ask the maid, "Did the Seventh Prince say anything when the Third Miss went to Prince Chun's Mansion?"
The girl thought for a moment and said, "The Seventh Prince only told the Third Miss to trust the Second Miss." She really didn't understand the rest.
"Alas." Aunt Zhao sighed again, "How can I believe this?"
At the entrance of Xianya Tower, the Third Prince Xuan Tianye was standing there talking to the shopkeeper. When he saw Xuan Tianming and his group, the Third Prince couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Your shopkeeper said there were no private rooms. I was worried that my trip would be in vain. I happened to meet you, my seventh and ninth brothers. How about I have a meal with you?"
Xuan Tianhua still had that spring breeze-like smile, "It is our honor to be honored by Third Brother."
Xuan Tianye waved his hand, "We are brothers, let's not talk about this." As he spoke, he reached out and took the initiative to push Xuan Tianming's wheelchair, "I heard that the ninth brother has some trouble with his legs. I don't know how the third brother can help."
Xuan Tianming just looked so leisurely and didn't say anything. But Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "Third brother snatched this job from me, which makes Ah Heng even more useless."
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? I'll give it back to you." He then gave the job of pushing the wheelchair back to Feng Yuheng.
The few of them went up to the third floor and sat down in a private room. Xuan Tianming then spoke: "Third brother came alone? Then why did you book a private room? Aren't there several empty seats by the window on the second floor?"
Feng Yuheng almost laughed to the point of hurting himself, thinking that it was obvious that the other person just wanted to have an "unexpected encounter", why didn't you give him even this little chance.
"Third brother doesn't like sitting in the hall." Xuan Tianye was determined to stay here. "We brothers haven't been together for a long time. It's God's will that we can meet today."
"Yes." Xuan Tianming nodded, "It is indeed God's will."
Not wanting to see these brothers trying to get close to her against their conscience, Feng Yuheng simply took Madam Zhao to find the waiter, picked out a few dishes, told the waiter to prepare them and put them in food boxes, and told Madam Zhao to wait in the hall, and then they could go back to the mansion directly.
Nanny Zhao wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that Feng Yuheng had no intention of saying more, she could only nod in agreement helplessly.
When they returned to the private room, Xuan Tianye was talking about the Fifth Prince Xuan Tianyan taking in another concubine: "It is said that she was the younger sister of his fourth concubine. When she was brought into the palace, the elder sister was so angry that she crashed to death in front of them, while the younger sister pinched her nose and complained that it was bad luck."
Xuan Tianhua shook his head helplessly, "Father has told Fifth Brother about this problem several times, but he still can't change it."
Xuan Tianming snorted coldly, "After marrying so many concubines, they all look almost the same."
"Yes." Xuan Tianhua nodded, "Especially the eyes, they are surprisingly similar."
Feng Yuheng couldn't help but stroke his forehead as he listened to the three people talking, "When it comes to gossiping, men are really no less capable than women."
Everyone present didn't understand what she meant by "gossip", but Xuan Tianye guessed it a little bit and said, "It's just idle chat anyway, so I'll just talk about the latest one."
Xuan Tianming raised his lips and suddenly said, "It seems that there is more than one concubine who should be beaten to death in the harem."
The topic came to an abrupt end here, and everyone tacitly stopped talking. Xuan Tianye coughed twice and took the initiative to ask Feng Yuheng: "I only heard about it after the court was dismissed this morning. Is it true that the ninth brother's leg cannot be cured?"
Hearing him ask this, Feng Yuheng's face showed a layer of loneliness. He looked at Xuan Tianming with a bit of apology, and then replied: "It's Ah Heng who is incompetent. I have already apologized to my father."
"Alas." Xuan Tianye sighed heavily, "Leading troops to war will inevitably result in casualties. We advised our ninth brother not to go to the northwest, but he refused to listen."
Xuan Tianhua took over the conversation: "Third brother also knows Ming'er's temper. He never listens to the advice of others when he wants to do something."
As they talked, Feng Yuheng looked at Xuan Tianye's eyes several times, and felt that this man was always angry, but today he seemed to be a little slack. His eyes were obviously sighing for Xuan Tianming's injured leg, but he couldn't help but occasionally reveal a bit of greed. It was difficult for ordinary people to see, but Feng Yuheng had done a detailed analysis of the frequency of pupil dilation and contraction of the human eye through clinical medical experiments.
As they expected, Xuan Tianming's leg injury was definitely good news for Xuan Tianye. And this person appeared here today, most likely to personally explore the true disguise. Feng Yuheng knew that while she was sizing up the other person, the other person was also sizing up her. But she was confident that her disguise must be better than the other person's. She could capture the details and emotions, but Xuan Tianye might not be able to do so.
"My father said that he was very disappointed in him." Feng Yuheng suddenly added this sentence, his face was sad, and his eyes looking at Xuan Tianming were also full of endless guilt.
"Why are you listening to him?" Xuan Tianming was still the same, evil and charming, holding the wine glass in one hand and rubbing Feng Yuheng's head with the other hand, "I am the one who wants to marry you, not the old man."
Xuan Tianye laughed out loud, "After all, my ninth brother is very open-minded."
Xuan Tianhua also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Only Ming'er would dare to say something like this."
Feng Yuheng reached into her sleeves, fumbled for a while, and actually took out a long, exquisite little box. Fortunately, the winter clothes were made of thick material and had large sleeve pockets. If such a small box was placed in the sleeves in summer, it would probably make people feel uncomfortable, but it was fine with winter clothes.
She opened the small box, and everyone took a deep breath when they saw it. Inside the box was the phoenix-head gold hairpin that Feng Yuheng won at the Yuexi Palace Banquet.
Then Xuan Tianming said, "You can either wear this thing on your head or keep it at home. Why put it in a box?"
Feng Yuheng said: "I originally wanted to return this phoenix-headed golden hairpin to my father, but I forgot about it when I was so nervous and scared just now."
As he spoke, he glanced at Qingshuang who was standing beside him. His sharp eyes accurately discovered that Qingshuang's fingers moved habitually the moment she saw the phoenix-head golden hairpin.
