The fifth prince Xuan Tianyan has always been free to do as he pleases when it comes to women, from the daughters of ordinary people to the concubine of the prime minister's family, any woman that he likes, he must take back to his palace to keep. To pursue the wild history, you have to be quick to catch your eye.
It is said that the standard for being pleasing to the eye is to have a pair of long and thin single phoenix eyes and a temperament that is both arrogant and melancholy.
Feng Fendai did not have these two qualities, but she had a more important external factor - she was wearing a pair of crystal earrings.
Moreover, Xuan Tianyan put on the earrings when he was already a little drunk, so how could it not have a psychological impact on him?
Feng Yuheng sighed softly, "I originally wanted to use Feng Chenyu to stir up trouble, but I didn't expect that she would cleverly avoid it and put the blame on Fendai. I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad."
"Miss, you should recover first." Huang Quan pressed the towel in his hand on her head and pushed her back onto the pillow. "Miss, just lie down today and don't go anywhere. Whatever the Feng Mansion does is their business and has nothing to do with us."
But Feng Yuheng couldn't calm down. He stretched out his hand to hold the handkerchief down and told Huang Quan: "Go get me some water to wash up. I still have to go over and take a look."
The Fifth Prince sent someone to propose marriage to Feng Fendai, so Feng Yuheng certainly couldn't just pretend she didn't know and continue to stay in Tongshengxuan. She took two cold capsules from the space and swallowed them. After washing up, she hurriedly followed Huang Quan to Feng Mansion.
Because Feng Jinyuan was not at home, the people who came to propose marriage naturally had to meet the old lady. When they arrived, the old lady was sitting on the main seat in the hall of Shuya Garden with an embarrassed look on her face. All the female relatives of the Feng Mansion were present, even Feng Fendai came in person, and An was still persuading her: "The fourth young lady should go back to her room. Girls are not allowed to be present when a marriage is proposed."
Han also advised her: "You should avoid it."
But Fendai was stubborn and refused to listen. She stared at the engagement letter held by the maid in Prince Li's mansion, and her eyes revealed her undisguised longing.
Seeing Fendai like this, Jin Zhen recalled what happened last night, so she said softly, "No wonder when the fourth young lady came back drunk yesterday, she kept talking about the fifth prince. I guess they have known each other for a long time, right?"
The maid from Prince Li's mansion smiled upon hearing this and said, "It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that we have known each other for a long time, but we did meet at the birthday party for the little prince. Miss Feng Si is pretty and charming, and our Fifth Prince fell in love with her at first sight." As she spoke, she glanced at Fendai, her eyes also falling on the crystal earrings she was still wearing.
The old nanny had served Xuan Tianyan since he was a child, so how could she not understand the reason? She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that the fourth young lady of the Feng family was really unlucky. She couldn't wear any other earrings, but had to wear these white crystals.
But she was Xuan Tianyan's person, and no matter how sorry she was for Feng Fendai, she had to speak for Xuan Tianyan, so she looked at the old lady with a smile and said, "Fourth Miss Feng is the daughter of Prime Minister Feng. Although she is a concubine, the Fifth Prince said that he values Prime Minister Feng very much, and he favors Fourth Miss Feng even more. Look, I have brought the birth certificate with me, which is not the proper etiquette for taking a concubine."
Feng Yuheng had been standing at the door, feeling that if he didn't go in it would look like he was eavesdropping, so he coughed lightly and walked in.
When the old lady saw Feng Yuheng coming, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found her backbone, and quickly said, "Ah Heng, you came at the right time. Someone from Prince Li's Mansion is here to propose to your fourth sister. Your father is not in the capital right now, so you can give us some advice."
When the maid who came to propose marriage heard the old lady say this, she immediately understood who this person was and hurried forward to greet her: "This old servant greets the county lady. Best wishes to the county lady."
Feng Yuheng glanced at the nanny and walked in while saying, "As far as I know, His Royal Highness Prince Li already has a wife, right?"
The maid replied: "What the county lady said is correct."
"What's the purpose of the nanny bringing the engagement letter to my Feng Mansion? Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Li has divorced his wife and is planning to marry my fourth sister as his principal wife in five years?"
As soon as these words came out, before anyone else could react, Feng Fendai got excited first - "Your Highness treats me so well, I will definitely feel grateful for your kindness."
"This..." The nanny was a little embarrassed, "Miss Fourth has misunderstood. His Highness has no intention of divorcing the concubine."
"Oh?" Feng Yuheng sat down and raised the corners of his lips leisurely, "Since you don't want to divorce the concubine, then you have to take a concubine. Who has ever heard of taking a concubine and putting up a marriage certificate?"
The old nanny blushed and said quickly, "Your Highness means that if the Fourth Miss Feng's marriage is successful, even for the sake of Lord Feng, he will definitely grant the Fourth Miss the position of concubine."
"Oh." Feng Yuheng nodded, "Concubine. Concubine didn't bring a birth certificate either. I guess it was for my father's sake."
The nanny also nodded but said nothing, which was considered as her agreement.
Fen Dai was not as excited as before, but she still felt it was acceptable. She was a concubine of the Feng family, and her future marriage path would either be to be a concubine to the legitimate son of a large family, or to be the wife of a concubine's son. Now that a prince had promised her the position of concubine, this was already a very rare thing.
Not only Fendai, but even Han felt very proud and couldn't help but giggled and said, "Old Madam, the Fifth Prince is giving honor to our Feng Mansion."
The old lady wanted to slap Han to death!
Long face? This is also called a long face?
Who in the capital doesn't know that the Fifth Prince is frivolous and lewd, and the women in the mansion are carried in one after another. Not to mention concubines, even concubines, I heard that there are already six of them. Is it considered a honor for the Feng family for such a prince to come and ask for marriage?
But she kept repeating this in her heart, but she didn't dare to say a word. After all, he was a prince. Although he was not very popular, she had never heard Feng Jinyuan say that the emperor had any criticism of this son. Now that there was no backbone in the family, she was really in trouble. Whether she agreed or not, it seemed wrong.
"Grandma, why don't you say anything?" Fendai was a little anxious. After all, she was still a child. In the past few months, she was deeply in love with the Ninth Prince, but the Fifth Prince's hospitality yesterday immediately attracted her heart to that side.
Actually, Feng Fendai was only attracted by their status as princes. Xuan Tianming was the first in her heart, but he was like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water. She had no place to use her strength and would get hurt whenever she got close to him.
But the Fifth Prince was different. He not only praised her beauty, but also invited her to drink. Fendai felt that the most proud moment in her nearly eleven years of life was yesterday. In front of so many people, she was the only one who sat in the prince's seat, and she was personally invited by the Fifth Prince. No one could imagine how proud it was to sit in that position. She felt that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
Unexpectedly, the Fifth Prince actually sent someone to propose marriage today. This made Fen Dai feel that the day when she could come to the fore in Feng Mansion had finally come.
The old lady looked at the anxious Fendai, how could she not guess what the girl was thinking? She really wanted to just agree, so that she would know who would suffer in the future and it would also put an end to the girl's arrogance.
But it's not possible. Feng Jinyuan didn't return to Beijing, so she couldn't be the master. What's more, the daughters of the prime minister's mansion were not married off at will. Even if they were concubines, they would have their own mission in the future.
Her daughter is a guest of honor. When she gets married in the future, she must be able to bring benefits and help to her parents' family. If it was any other prince, it would be fine. But it was the Fifth Prince who came to visit her. She was really embarrassed!
"Old Madam Feng, what do you think of this marriage..." The maid was getting a little impatient. "His Highness has something to say. As long as the Feng family accepts the engagement letter, the marriage will be finalized. He will make an offer to the Feng family as if she were a legitimate wife, and will definitely not treat the Fourth Miss unfairly. When the Fourth Miss turns fifteen and has her coming-of-age ceremony, the marriage can be arranged."
"Madam," the old lady finally spoke, "I think you also know that Feng Xiang is in the North Boundary to suppress the disaster...
, the family has no mistress now, so the children's marriages must be approved by their father in person. Your Highness, please wait a little longer, it's almost time for my son to return to the capital when the New Year comes."
"Oh my!" The nanny's face suddenly darkened. "Old Madam, I hear from your words that you are not happy. What are you talking about? We are the royal palace! We are legitimate princes! Marrying a concubine's daughter as a concubine should be a great thing for you. Why don't you agree to it quickly? What are you waiting for?"
Fendai was also anxious, "Grandma, you are the eldest person in the family. Even if father returns to Beijing, he has to listen to you, right?"
An looked at Fendai and felt that she had been overwhelmed by the joy of marrying the prince. But thinking about it again, she felt that Fendai was also very pitiful. A girl raised in seclusion knew little about the outside world, so how could she have heard of the absurd things of the fifth prince?
She wanted to remind him, but the nanny was standing in front of her and she couldn't open her mouth no matter what.
The old lady was cornered by these two people and had no choice but to look to Feng Yuheng for help.
Feng Yuheng pretended to be stupid, "Grandmother, why are you looking at me? The Fifth Prince is asking to marry the Fourth Sister, not Ah Heng."
"You..." The old lady was blocked by her again, feeling very depressed, but when she thought about her attitude towards Feng Yuheng these days, she no longer had the face to ask her for help.
"Please accept the engagement letter, Madam, and let me take the Fourth Miss's engagement letter back." The maid pressed on, "His Highness is still waiting for a reply in the mansion. It would be bad if I angered His Highness."
Phew!
Feng Yuheng suddenly laughed, "When did Fifth Brother's temper become so bad? Good food always comes late. If he doesn't even have this much patience to marry his beloved, how can we believe that he will treat Fourth Miss well?"
The nanny could ignore Old Madam Feng, but she dared not ignore Feng Yuheng. As soon as she heard what Feng Yuheng said, she quickly bowed and replied: "The county lady is right, then please consider it for a while, the fifth prince will definitely wait."
The old lady propped her forehead with her hand, saying that even if she was allowed to think about it for another night, she still wouldn't be able to figure it out!
When Han saw this situation, she felt that Fendai's marriage might be cancelled. Although she didn't understand how Fendai was related to the fifth prince, he was a prince after all! If she, a concubine of the Feng family, could have a prince as her son-in-law, the people of the Feng family would look up to her in the future! In addition...
She placed her hand on her belly, thinking to herself that if there really was a child here, whether it was a boy or a girl, having a sister who was the prince's concubine would surely make her life a hundred times better than her current one.
She wanted to persuade the old lady to accept the marriage proposal, but before she could say anything, she heard Chenyu suddenly speak up and said, "Isn't Fourth Sister in love with the Ninth Prince? Why did she accept the Fifth Prince's proposal?"
