When I followed Xuan Feiyu back to the banquet hall, I saw at a glance that there was a young girl in the prince's seat. The girl sat next to the fifth prince Xuan Tianyan and was drinking happily. Her wide sleeves were pulled down to her elbows, revealing a section of her white wrist. But the wrist did not attract Xuan Tianyan's attention, but the white crystal pendant on her ear made him unable to look away.
If it’s not Feng Fendai, then who else could it be?
"She was drinking with the Fifth Prince just fine, why do you say something happened to her?" Feng Yuheng pinched Xuan Feiyu's little face, but stared at Feng Chenyu with a cold look in her eyes.
Xuan Feiyu answered her seriously, "Because I heard from my father that my fifth uncle has many beautiful concubines at home, and all the girls from good families avoid him and dare not have anything to do with him. Just now, my fifth uncle took the initiative to invite Miss Feng to drink with him. As soon as I saw him, I ran out to call you. Who knew..." Xuan Feiyu looked at the fifth prince for a while and said in confusion, "Your sister seems to be quite happy about it."
Feng Yuheng snorted coldly and pulled Xuan Feiyu back to his seat, "Since they are willing, I won't be the bad guy."
Xuan Feiyu nodded, "Yeah, I don't think your sister is easy to worry about, so Fairy Sister, you should just stop caring about her."
The child pestered Feng Yuheng to play for a while and then ran away. Fen Dai quickly came over and said to Feng Yuheng in a low voice, "Is Fourth Sister okay? I saw she drank several glasses of wine."
"What could be the problem?" She looked at Fendai and saw that girl tilted her head back and drank a glass of wine. She didn't even need the Fifth Prince to persuade her, she drank it on her own. "I want you to remember that the more you want to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix, the more miserable your fall will be."
When she said this, her voice rose slightly, and people sitting far away could not hear it, but Chenyu, who was right next to Xiangrong, heard it clearly.
She felt that Feng Yuheng's words were directed at her, but she didn't care. Fen Dai's bad fall didn't mean she would fall too. Just because the Third Prince sent someone to give her a message and asked her to give the crystal earrings to Fen Dai, she could conclude that the Third Prince had feelings for her. She was reluctant to give up the earrings, but she didn't expect that a small pair of earrings could be so valued by the Fifth Prince. She couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
If she didn't have powder and rouge, wouldn't the Fifth Prince, who was always wild and lustful, pounce on her when she wore this set of white crystals?
Originally, she couldn't understand why the eldest prince was so attentive to her for no reason. Now it seems that it was not her beauty that moved him, but on the contrary, this was a trap.
Thinking of this, Chenyu immediately picked up the teacup and stood up, walking slowly towards the prince's seat, and stopped only when she was in front of Xuan Tianye.
Feng Yuheng looked at Chen Yu who seemed to be toasting with Xuan Tianye, and Huang Quan leaned over to her ear and said, "Could it be that the Third Prince saw through the trick of sending the crystal to His Highness?"
She smiled and said, "Even if I find out, what can I do? Qingshuang's matter is simply something I made up, but do you think that the Third Prince, who is always the most suspicious, will not take it to heart at all?"
Huang Quan's expression changed, and he was somewhat delighted. "Miss, what you mean is that as long as we can make an impact on the Third Prince's heart, we won't have to worry about him not coming after us in the future?"
"That's right."
Feng Yuheng raised the corner of his lips and looked at Xuan Tianye. What if he cracked the crystal? What if he didn't let Chenyu get entangled with the fifth prince? Xuan Tianye, you thought you had a draw with me, but you didn't know that even if I lost, I would leave a shadow on you without leaving any trace. You, in my opinion, are one step behind.
When the birthday banquet was over, the snow outside was already quite heavy. The carriages of each family were waiting at the gate of the mansion. When the ladies went out, a few carriages left, and then the carriages behind moved forward a few steps. Feng Yuheng looked at it and felt a bit like waiting for a bus in the 21st century.
She stood facing the snow, looking a little dazed. For a moment, her consciousness began to blur. She could hardly tell what time and space this was, whether she was in Dashun or in front of the dormitory of the 6th Combat Unit.
"Second sister." Xiang Rong's voice pulled Feng Yuheng back to his senses, "Fourth sister is a little drunk, I'll go get in the same car with her to avoid any accidents."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Okay." Then he said to Huang Quan, "You should also follow the Third Miss, otherwise if Feng Fendai starts making trouble, the girls won't be able to control her."
Huang Quan was a little worried about her, "What about the young lady?"
"Don't worry, I have work to do." After she said that, she walked towards her carriage.
At the gate of the mansion, a quick-talking young lady was heard saying, "You lost such a valuable golden hairpin and still have the nerve to show off. You are really shameless."
"Look, she is just sitting in an ordinary carriage. Why is she not sitting in the imperial carriage?"
"Isn't it possible that the Emperor took it back again?"
"Yes! If we can't cure the Ninth Prince's leg, I think her title as the future Princess Yu will soon be taken away."
Feng Yuheng suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the gossiping girls with amusement, "You are so wronged for the Prince, you must have deep feelings for His Royal Highness. How about I report to my father and ask him to cancel my engagement with His Royal Highness and grant marriages to you ladies? Oh, by the way, the prince can only have one principal wife, you still have to consider who will be the principal wife and who will be the concubine, and the rest can only be concubines."
Her words made those ladies blush. They had been warned by King Yuan in the banquet hall just now, and they were a little afraid, but they couldn't control their mouths and hearts. They clearly saw Feng Yuheng had walked away just now, and they shouldn't have heard their whispers. But they didn't expect that the second lady of the Feng family had such a kind of ears.
Several people were speechless, but Feng Yuheng started talking. She simply walked back a few steps and said, "Or if I enter the palace in the future, if you still don't have a suitable family to propose marriage, I can also ask the prince to take you into the palace, but you can only be concubines. But..." She rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled charmingly, "But His Highness has long said that he only wants to marry Ah Heng, and for the rest, he doesn't even want a maid."
Her words completely angered one of the ladies, who couldn't help but raise her voice and shout, "Your Highness's leg can't be cured, and he can't have a concubine even if he wants to. What are you so proud of? If you don't even have a child in a few years, don't come to us and cry!"
"Don't worry." Feng Yuheng's eyes were cold, "You won't be able to wait for me to cry, because I have never seen anyone who insults the prince in public and can continue to live. Miss, you just wish yourself good luck." After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
The young lady, whose family she was from, turned pale immediately after hearing what Feng Yuheng said. The other young ladies who had been standing with her dispersed immediately, as if she was a ferocious beast and they were afraid to avoid her.
Feng Yuheng got on the carriage alone. The driver immediately whipped the horse and the carriage sped away in the snow.
As she left, the other three carriages of the Feng family also drove away. The young ladies dared not say anything more, and each of them was thinking about what would happen to the girl who had such a bad mouth.
Huang Quan and Xiangrong got on Fendai's carriage together. Feng Yuheng could still hear Fendai's non-stop shouting from a distance. Sometimes she was calling for the Fifth Prince, sometimes for the Ninth Prince, and sometimes she started singing.
She has never liked drunk people, and since there was no one around to talk to, she simply closed her eyes and rested out of boredom.
The road was difficult to travel in the snow, and even if the carriage was galloping, it was not as fast as usual. Feng Yuheng felt that the return journey was too long, and she was about to fall asleep, so she couldn't help but ask the driver: "Why haven't we arrived yet?"
The driver replied helplessly: "Miss, the snow is too heavy. A small road is blocked and we can't go on it. Now we have to take a long detour."
She didn't ask any more questions. After all, there was a group of people following in the dark, and the driver was one of the county lord's own men, so there would be no chance of anything going wrong.
But……
She sat up straighter, her right eyelid twitching non-stop. As the old saying goes, if your left eye twitches, you will get rich, but if your right eye twitches, you will get disastrous. Although she didn't really believe in that, the bad feeling in her heart forced her to be cautious.
Feng Yuheng's intuition has always been very accurate. As soon as the thought came to his mind, he heard Ban Zou's voice suddenly coming from outside, saying, "Master, be careful!"
She subconsciously turned her body, and with a bang, a sharp arrow shot past her right ear from the back of the carriage, went straight through the curtain, and sank into the flesh with a "plop" sound. The coachman outside didn't even have time to scream, and fell to the ground immediately.
As soon as the driver died, the horse suddenly lost its direction, and after a neigh, it started to run wildly.
Feng Yuheng crouched in the carriage, her ears almost perked up, listening closely to the noise outside.
From time to time, I could hear the sound of Banzou fighting with others, but soon, the sound disappeared. Then a gust of wind came and sat directly in front of the carriage.
She didn't hide. Long-term contact had enabled her to distinguish Ban Zou's figure and the sound of his movements. Sure enough, the horses that were running without direction outside immediately stabilized as the new driver returned to his position.
"Is the master okay?" Ban Zou asked her while driving the carriage. His voice was a little breathless, and it was obvious that the people outside were not easy to deal with.
"It's okay." She stood up and lifted the car curtain. She was relieved to see that Ban Zou didn't seem to be injured.
"Here." Ban Zou turned around and handed her an arrow. "I pulled it out from the driver. I don't think it's from the Dashun army."
Feng Yuheng took the arrow and lowered the curtain. She held it in her hand and looked at it for a while but could not come to any conclusion. She couldn't even tell whether it was Dashun's.
Just as she was about to go and have a chat with the classmate, she suddenly got a stir and, without even thinking, she placed her right hand on her left wrist and instantly disappeared into space.
The moment she entered the space, a scream came out - "Banzou! Get down!"
Ban Zou bent down subconsciously, and at the same time, another arrow grazed his scalp and flew out.
Both arrows were shot through the back of the carriage with such great force that the solid wood of the carriage was like a piece of paper, and could not hinder the arrows' progress at all.
Ban was in a hurry. He wanted to find someone to fight with, but he was also thinking about Feng Yuheng. He was in a dilemma for a while.
The person who had disappeared into space also reappeared at this moment. The first thing he asked was: "Are you hurt?"
Ban Zou immediately said, "No, what about you?"
"I'm fine too." Feng Yuheng's heart was filled with fear. His right hand was always on his left wrist, and he didn't dare to move it away, for fear that he would not be able to dodge in time when the next crisis came.
"What a sharp archery skill." Although she was nervous, she couldn't help but sigh, "Such an arrow..." Suddenly, her heart moved, and she remembered the great archery of Qianzhou Kingdom in the Northern Boundary that Xuan Tianming had told her about. "Let's go!" She lifted the curtain and ordered in a hurry: "Don't go back to Tongshengxuan! Let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion!" [End of this chapter]
