Chen Yuwan had never expected that the eldest prince Xuan Tianqi would actually send someone to send her something. She was stunned for a long time. Yilin had to remind her: "Miss, no matter what, you still have to invite the person in first. Om is a must-have for chasing books"
She came back to her senses and asked the girl, "Who sent it?"
The girl replied: "It's a father-in-law."
Chenyu nodded, "Let someone in."
Not long after, a young eunuch came in holding a box. He bowed very respectfully in front of Chenyu, and then said, "I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Jing to bring Miss Feng a set of crystal head ornaments. I hope Miss Feng will accept them."
Chen Yu was shocked. "A headpiece made of crystal?"
The young eunuch seemed very satisfied with Chenyu's reaction, and said with a smile: "This set of crystals is a treasure that His Royal Highness King Jing got from the craftsmen of Zong Sui. His Royal Highness said that in the whole world, only the eldest daughter of the Feng family can deserve it."
The compliments made the girl almost float up to the sky. She was already extremely beautiful, and with this smile, even the eunuch who came to give gifts felt that Miss Feng's beauty was well-deserved.
So, he held the box in his hand forward again: "Please accept it, Miss."
Chenyu excitedly took the box and poked Yilin beside her: "It's cold outside, hurry up and take some money to treat the father-in-law to tea."
Yilin took out a large silver ingot and handed it to the young eunuch. The young eunuch did not refuse. He took it and put it in his arms. Then he said to Chenyu, "His Highness also said that Miss Feng must attend the birthday banquet of the little grandson of the emperor."
Chenyu smiled and replied, "Of course, please tell His Highness that Chenyu likes this gift very much and thanks His Highness for the gift."
"I have made note of this. If the young lady has no other instructions, I will take my leave."
"Goodbye, eunuch." Chenyu also leaned forward and gave a wink, asking Yilin to see him off personally.
When Yilin came back, she had already opened the box and was stunned by what was inside.
The whole set of white crystal headpiece is crystal clear, like gems that do not exist in this world, so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
The two of them stared at the headdress for a whole cup of tea. Chenyu finally came back to her senses and sighed, "When Prince Yu gave Feng Yuheng a betrothal gift, there were many crystal items in it. I was so envious that my eyes turned red. But I didn't expect that one day a prince would give me a complete set of crystal headdresses like this. Yilin, do you think this is a turning point?"
Yilin was also a little dizzy when looking at the crystals, but she was not as obsessed as the person in charge. She regained her senses faster than Chenyu: "Miss, this thing was given by the eldest prince!"
Chen Yu didn't understand what she meant, and just stared at the crystal in front of her and said, "Although white crystal is not as precious as Feng Yuheng's purple crystal and pink crystal, this is a complete set of head ornaments! If I take something like this out, I'm afraid I'll be the only one in the world."
Yilin was even more frightened when he heard this, "Miss, this is the only one in the world that you cannot wear!"
"Why?" Chen Yu glared at her, "This thing is given to me, why can't I wear it?"
"Miss, think about it. His Highness has never had any connection with our Feng Mansion. I have been in the mansion for so many years and I didn't even know that he was King Jing. So why did he suddenly give you such a thing?"
"Didn't you hear what the eunuch said? Because the eldest prince thinks that I, your daughter, am the only one in the world who deserves this headgear."
"Oh, those are just polite words!" Yilin stamped her feet anxiously. It seemed that her young lady was bewitched by the jewelry. Why couldn't she wake up even after all her persuasion?
Chenyu was indeed confused. She could still vividly remember the scene when Prince Yu came to Feng Yuheng to give her a betrothal gift. At that time, she was still a legitimate daughter, and Feng Yuheng had just returned to the mansion. He gave her a severe blow as an unfavored concubine. She had always believed that it was the greatest humiliation of her life. Although this set of headgear could not completely reverse it, it could help her regain some face.
only……
"It would be great if this thing was given by the Seventh Prince." He said faintly, with a look of endless loneliness on his face.
Yilin became even more anxious, "Miss, you must always remember what the Third Master said!"
"I understand." Chenyu's face turned cold and she slammed the wooden box shut. "Go and ask if the eldest prince gave this gift only to my family or to other courtyards as well."
Yilin was relieved to see that her young lady was still somewhat rational, "Then I will go right away."
Seeing that girl leaving the room, Chenyu hugged the wooden box in her arms. It seemed that her heart was attracted by the crystals. She kept imagining herself wearing such a headpiece and appearing in front of everyone. How dazzling it would be!
Half an hour later, Yilin came back and brought Chenyu a piece of news that made her vanity soar: "The eldest prince only sent something to our courtyard, and the third and fourth young ladies did not receive it. As for Tongshengxuan... I can't find out anything."
"It's okay." Chenyu didn't care about Tongshengxuan at all. "Feng Yuheng has a lot of good things around, so I won't compete with her. Go prepare lunch, so you can go see the old lady after you finish eating."
That afternoon, all the children of the Feng family gathered at Shuya Garden, and even Feng Yuheng came.
The old lady said to them with a loving look: "Although it is just a birthday party for the emperor's grandson, you can't neglect it. The emperor loves that child very much. By then, all the prominent and powerful families in the capital will be present. I'm afraid that several princes will also have to go to congratulate them. You must not lose face for the Feng family."
The four of them answered in unison: "Granddaughter will follow grandmother's instructions."
"Yes." The old lady nodded with satisfaction. "The mansion will prepare birthday gifts for the little grandson. There are four gifts in total, and the servants will deliver them to each courtyard. The time written on the notice is tomorrow evening, so you should not be late."
Fen Dai smiled and rushed to say, "Grandma, don't worry! We won't be too late." As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Yuheng, "Second sister has been locked up for many days and can finally leave the house, but she must take this opportunity to take a good breath, because you never know when she will be locked up again."
The old lady coughed lightly to remind Fendai, but she did not scold her in a clear-cut manner like she did in the past.
Feng Yuheng saw the change in the old lady and sneered in her heart, but then she said, "Don't worry, Fourth Sister. If Second Sister is accidentally punished by His Majesty again next time, I will definitely not punish her alone. I will definitely remember to bring all the sisters along. If we need to be put in solitary confinement, we will do it together. This is the only way to show the unity of sisters."
"Who wants to unite with you!" Fendai's eyes popped up, "Why do you drag us into your punishment?"
"How can I not pull it up?" Feng Yuheng smiled at Fendai, "The old lady said earlier that we are all Feng family members, and we are all honored and disgraced together. When the second sister got the five treasures cloth, didn't she also give a handkerchief to my younger sister? How can the good sister take it, but can't she share the responsibility with my elder sister if she makes a mistake?"
"You..." Fendai was speechless. She wanted to say proudly: I will return the handkerchief to you. But she couldn't bear to do it. The handkerchief made of five treasures, when she gets married in the future, she will have such a treasure in the bottom of the box, and her husband's family will think highly of her.
Thinking of this, Fendai turned her head away and said nothing more.
The old lady watched these young people bickering, and she sighed repeatedly in her heart. First, she sighed that she didn't know what sin the Feng family had committed to cause such disharmony, and second, she sighed that no matter how beautiful the beauty was, no one could beat Feng Yuheng. She could even lose in a verbal fight. It was really like a hopeless case.
"That's enough!" She waved her hands in anger, "Just quarreling, the elder sister is not acting like an elder sister, and the younger sister is not acting like a younger sister, how can this be tolerated?"
Fendai felt that the old lady's attitude towards her was pretty good recently, so she said aggrievedly: "It's my second sister...
It doesn’t make sense.”
The old lady really gave Fendai some face. She looked at Feng Yuheng and said, "Your fourth sister is still young. Why are you angry with her?"
Feng Yuheng blinked and smiled, "Ah Heng is only about thirteen."
The old lady was embarrassed and didn't want to say anything more, so she took the few people back.
After leaving Shuya Garden, several people dispersed in the direction of their respective residences. However, Chenyu waited there for a while, and when she saw everyone walking away, she quickly chased after Feng Yuheng.
Finally, he caught up with the person and asked anxiously, "Second sister, our agreed date is almost here."
"I remember that." Feng Yuheng gave her a reassuring smile, "When Big Sister's period is completely over, just come find me. Well, don't forget to bring the banknotes."
Chenyu twitched her lips, thinking that you are just thinking about the banknotes. But she still nodded, "Don't worry, I have prepared everything."
On the way back to Tongshengxuan, Huang Quan asked her unhappily, "Miss, do you really want to cure Feng Chenyu's disease? If you cure her, won't our efforts be in vain?"
Feng Yuheng still answered Huang Quan with the same words she had answered Wang Chuan: "How can I let her off so easily! You should bear the consequences of your own sins. I, your lady, don't have such a kind heart. I will remember all the hatred in my heart."
The next day, at the end of the afternoon, just as the young ladies of the Feng family were preparing to go out, light snow fell outside. Huang Quan accompanied Feng Yuheng out of the house while saying to her, "There is news from the eldest prince. Yesterday, he sent a set of headgear to Feng Chenyu. I heard from the eunuch who delivered the gifts that Chenyu was very happy."
Feng Yuheng smiled, "How can I not be happy? Your Highness has been collecting a lot of good things in the past twenty years, and any one of them can be called the best in the area. Feng Chenyu has seen nothing more than the things sent by the Shen family since she was a child. Even though the Shen family is an imperial merchant, how can they compare to the overseas business that Your Highness has done in various countries."
"Miss, do you think the Third Prince will be fooled?" Huang Quan was a little worried. "That person has always been suspicious. I am a little worried."
Feng Yuheng frowned slightly and shook his head helplessly, "I am also worried. If Xuan Tianye had been tricked so easily, I am afraid that the emperor and Xuan Tianming would not have kept a close eye on him for so many years."
The two walked out while talking, and got on the carriage directly from the main gate of the county lady's mansion. The carriage was very ordinary, not the luxurious palace carriage awarded by the emperor. In comparison, the carriages prepared for the other three young ladies at Feng Mansion were better than hers.
The young ladies of the Feng family rushed to Prince Yuan's Mansion in a car. Huang Quan said to Feng Yuheng: "Feng Chenyu is dressed very plainly today, with a bamboo hat on her head. I don't know if it's to cover the snow or for some other reason."
"There's no need to cover this little bit of snow. What she wants to cover is probably something sent by the Grand Prince. Since she's wearing a hat, it's probably jewelry." Feng Yuheng lifted the carriage curtain and looked back. Behind him, the other three carriages of the Feng family followed closely, the horses' hooves trampled the snow, and the street was trampled into a beautiful scene.
She lowered the curtain and prepared to take a nap in the carriage, but when the curtain was just half lowered, she suddenly frowned.
Huang Quan was startled: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Feng Yuheng put his right index finger to his lips, made a gesture to silence her, and whispered: "Listen——"
