Yilin was so scared that he covered her mouth with his hand: "Miss, calm down! Don't say such things! Now that the madam is gone, if something happens to the Shen family again, who can Miss rely on?"
"What else can I hope for?" Feng Chenyu pointed at her forehead. "I have become a ghost like this. No matter how much money the Shen family has, can they give me back a piece of meat?"
"Miss, you can't blame the Shen family for this. No matter how well the beast is trained, it is still a beast. If the Third Master knew you were in the carriage, he would never let the eagle out!"
"Yes!" Feng Chenyu gritted her teeth, her eyes almost spitting fire, "It's all because of Feng Yuheng, the nemesis! She is the nemesis and shouldn't have stayed at home!"
"Miss, we have to think of a way." Yilin persuaded her while thinking, "The Second Miss relied on the Ninth Prince to gain power, but she lost power because of the Yao family and because..." Yilin's eyes lit up, "Miss, do you still remember why the master chose our Madam to sit on the position of mistress when there were so many concubines in the mansion?"
Feng Chenyu frowned, "Why are you talking about something so far away? The Shen family and the Feng family are from the same hometown. My father and mother have known each other since childhood. When my father was taking the imperial examination, the old lady was ostracized by the family and it was my mother who took care of her. Just for this relationship, the position of the mistress should belong to my mother."
"Oh my lady!" Yilin was anxious. He simply sat down beside her couch and said earnestly, "It's already this time. Don't always think about feelings. Think about it more deeply!"
"Shenli...you mean, father is after the Shen family's money?"
Yilin nodded, "But this is one reason. There is another reason. Back then, Taoist Zi Yang insisted that you were destined to be a phoenix, and pointed at the second young lady and said that she was the nemesis of the Feng family. This finally strengthened the master's determination to send them away. If it weren't for Taoist Zi Yang, the master would never have been so cruel."
Chen Yu understood, "You mean to say that my father actually values my life the most?"
"Yes." Yilin was relieved to see that she finally understood. This young lady was beautiful, but her brain was a little slow. "So, young lady, you don't just rely on your looks, but also on your innate phoenix fate!"
"Phoenix destiny?" Feng Chenyu almost wanted to laugh. "Yilin, you have followed me for so many years and have served my mother. Almost all the affairs of the Shen family were handled by you and Yiyue. You should know better than anyone what my Phoenix destiny is."
What Phoenix Fate? That was just a lie made up by Shen Shi and the Shen family in order to ascend to the position of mistress and live up to her stunning face.
"But after all these years, the master and the old lady believed it!"
"Father believes it." Chenyu corrected her, "Although the old lady also believes it, she has always been lukewarm towards me. Once she encounters a bad sign, she will change her attitude. Just look at her attitude after Feng Yuheng returned to Beijing."
"The master is the one who makes the decisions in the mansion after all." Yilin advised her, "To be disrespectful, how many years can the old lady live? Also, think about it, young lady. The fact that you are carrying the Phoenix is known to the Feng family and the Shen family. In fact, there have been some rumors outside over the years. No matter what the reason is for the eldest prince to show kindness to you, at least for now, she can be regarded as a backer of yours, and we cannot let her go easily. In addition..." She thought about it and felt a little conflicted.
"Just say what you want to say."
"Yes. I think the eldest prince showed his goodwill to you suddenly. What is the subtlety here? I am afraid I need to think carefully. So Miss, you must make more preparations. Not only do you have to keep the eldest prince stable, but the others..."
"You mean the other princes?" Feng Chenyu almost laughed. "The emperor's sons are all freaks. Everyone says that gentlemen like beautiful ladies, but I have been to the palace several times. Except for the eldest prince, I have never seen any prince fall in love with my face." She thought of the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua, the man who was out of this world and as graceful as a fairy, who always touched the weakest nerve in her heart. "Father intended to marry me to the third prince, but you see, the illness of the Princess of Xiang was cured by Feng Yuheng, and the main wife is still there, how can I marry? Marry him as a concubine? Can the future queen be a concubine? What's more, I am a concubine now. Have you ever seen a queen born out of a concubine?"
Yilin was speechless because of her. She originally wanted to tell Chenyu not to hang herself on a tree, but she didn't expect to attract so many complaints from her.
"In the final analysis, it's all the fault of that little bitch Feng Yuheng!" Chenyu said fiercely, "Only by dealing with her can I live a peaceful life. You are right, the Shen family cannot fall, and the matter of Feng Ming can be put on hold for now. The most important thing now is to steal the eagle." She ordered Yilin, "Go and tell your uncle what happened today, and ask him to steal the eagle back!"
Yilin nodded repeatedly, persuaded Chenyu to go to sleep, and went to tell the Shen family the news.
After this night, it will be the day for Feng Jinyuan to return home.
Feng Chenyu had a wound on her head, and the old lady sent someone to tell her not to go with the reception, but she didn't listen, and still endured the pain and dressed neatly, and made her face look beautiful. If you don't look at the white cotton cloth wrapped on her forehead, she is really a woman who even women would praise from the bottom of their hearts.
Yilin originally had a gauze headscarf wrapped around her head. Although it looked a bit strange, it was able to cover up the circle of white cotton cloth very well. Moreover, the color of the headscarf matched the clothes very well. Coupled with her extremely beautiful figure, it looked like a unique outfit.
Yilin was very satisfied with his outfit, and was expecting Chenyu to give him some compliments, but he didn't expect Chenyu to look in the mirror and yell angrily, "Take it off! Take this damn thing off for me!"
She was startled and didn't understand why she was scolded, but seeing Chenyu's stern look she didn't dare to ask more questions, so she could only go forward and take off her headscarf again.
She didn't know that this headscarf reminded Chenyu of Qingle's appearance. Qingle's head was burned bald and had scars all over it. He used this headscarf to cover his head. She clearly remembered how people laughed at Qingle at that time. She would never become a living target of everyone's ridicule!
"Just get out like this." Chen Yu stood up and walked out, "If father still has pity on me, he should punish that little bitch Feng Yuheng!"
Finally, everyone gathered in front of the mansion gate.
Feng Yuheng pulled Zirui to stand together with An and Xiangrong, Fendai accompanied Han, Chenyu gathered next to the old lady, and only Jinzhen was there, accompanied only by Manxi, which looked a little desolate.
Of all the concubines Feng Jinyuan has now, the one the old lady loves the most is Jin Zhen. Jin Zhen is the most obedient and has no bad background. The servants raised by the Feng Mansion are even more pleasing to her. On weekdays, they either come to her to ask about her well-being or massage her shoulders and legs. Since Feng Jinyuan left the mansion and later when Han became pregnant, Jin Zhen has suffered a lot of grievances.
The old lady waved at Jin Zhen, "Come here, come to my side, and sit in the same car with me in a while!"
When Feng Jinyuan returned to Beijing, the Feng family had already made preparations to go to the city gate to welcome him, and the carriage was already waiting outside.
When Jin Zhen heard the old lady calling her, she was delighted and quickly took two steps forward to support the old lady instead of Zhao Ma. Zhao Ma stepped back, pushing Chen Yu further away.
There were flashes of anger in Chenyu's eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it.
"Let's go!" the old lady said loudly, "You all should be cheerful. Jin Yuan went to the northern border to suppress the disaster. Now that the disaster has been eliminated, his return to the capital can be considered a happy event. I don't know how many people are kneeling at the city gate to welcome him. Our Feng family must set an example." After that, she took the lead and walked out of the mansion with the support of Jin Zhen.
Feng Yuheng almost laughed out loud. The people knelt to welcome him? Do you think the general won the battle? He couldn't help but think of the time when he first returned to Beijing and saw Xuan Tianming returning to the capital outside the city gate. It was a grand scene of jubilation.
She picked her lips...
Corner, couldn't help laughing.
As the group followed the old lady out of the house and prepared to get on the carriage, a servant who had been sent out to get information came back on horseback. When he saw the master of the house about to get on the carriage, he shouted, "Wait!"
The old lady stopped and watched the boy approach her before she asked, "What happened?"
The servant bowed and said, "Madam, there is no need to go and greet the master. The master has entered the city ahead of time and has been summoned to the palace by the emperor."
"Entering the palace?" The old lady was stunned. "Have you heard what entering the palace is for?"
The servant smiled and said, "Madam, the master is on a mission to the northern border. Naturally, he has to report to the palace first when he returns to the capital."
The old lady nodded. Yes, Feng Jinyuan was going to suppress the disaster. It was unreasonable for him to go home after finishing his business without reporting to the emperor first. So she turned around and walked back, saying loudly, "Then let's wait in the mansion."
The old lady did not return to Shuya Garden, but took everyone to the Peony Courtyard to wait. At this time, Feng Jinyuan, who had already entered the palace, was kneeling in the main hall, listening to Emperor Tianwu's affirmation of his achievements in his trip to the Northern Territory to suppress the disaster.
What surprised Feng Jinyuan was that not only did Emperor Tianwu fully affirm his achievements, but he also gave him many awards and gifts. After he left the palace, he was invited to the Queen by a maid!
He didn't know what this meant, and knelt in fear, but heard the queen say, "In the past, I had many misunderstandings about the eldest daughter of the Feng family. Recently, I often heard Qi'er mention that the eldest daughter of the Feng family is virtuous and generous. Now I know that I have misunderstood her in the past. Qi'er is the most sincere and honest child. I may not believe what others say, but I will definitely believe what Qi'er says. Therefore, I have exempted the eldest daughter of the Feng family from the punishment of wearing black rouge when going out, and lifted the ban on her from entering the palace within five years. The oral order has already been passed to the Feng Mansion. I am waiting for Prime Minister Feng to return to the court, and then I will apologize to you in person."
Feng Jinyuan quickly kowtowed to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, please do not apologize! It is a blessing for my daughter to be favored by you. I thank you for your great grace on my daughter's behalf."
"Yes." The queen nodded, and then said to the maid beside her: "Go and take the gift that I prepared to calm Lord Feng, and then send Lord Feng out of the palace."
"I thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
Feng Jinyuan kowtowed to express his gratitude and left, thinking about the Queen's words all the way.
The one who kept calling Qi'er must be referring to the eldest prince. He had long known about the changes in the family from the letters sent by the old lady. Chenyu and Fendai were favored by the eldest prince and the fifth prince respectively, which was beyond his calculation. Especially Chenyu, he had repeatedly told her not to have any private contact with any man, so how could she be targeted by the eldest prince? In addition, the secret reports he had received recently showed that the wind in the court had changed drastically, the ninth prince had fallen out of favor with the emperor, and the emperor suddenly favored the eldest prince, which really confused him.
Finally arriving at the gate of the mansion, Feng Jinyuan took a deep breath, and heard He Zhong, who had already seen him, shouting towards the mansion - "Master, come back!"
