What did Concubine Yun say the last time she went to Yuehan Palace? She didn't want a beautiful face, she didn't want to be remembered by others. To chase the Wilderness, you have to be quick.
Although this may be a rant, there is no woman in the world who doesn't love beauty, but after all, in the palace, thoughts are one thing and the situation is another. Since Concubine Yun said that, she must have her own thoughts. Feng Yuheng knew that she was always a woman with a lot on her mind, so it was better for her not to go against the wind.
Forget it. I originally prepared the same cosmetics as the queen’s, but now I think it’s not appropriate.
She raised her foot and continued to walk forward, thinking about what gift to exchange. Huang Quan asked her, "Miss, have you thought of something?"
She shook her head: "No, I was just wondering if Concubine Yun would like the gift I prepared for her."
"I'm sure she'll like it." Huang Quan said with a smile, "Miss, you've always been thoughtful, and Concubine Yun also likes you very much, so whatever you give her will be fine."
Feng Yuheng understood that the so-called like or not was a choice made after weighing the pros and cons. Apart from the fact that she heard some good feelings towards the Yao family from Concubine Yun when she first met her, the rest was because her existence was good for Xuan Tianming. How could a shrewd woman like Concubine Yun allow a useless fiancée to appear by her son's side?
She kept thinking in her mind and walked quickly. In just an incense stick's time, she arrived in front of Yuehan Palace.
At this time, Feng Yuheng had already thought of a gift for Concubine Yun, but it was still in the space and had not been taken out.
The gate of Yuehan Palace was still closed, with female guards standing guard outside. There were no red lanterns hanging all over the palace, and not even a Chinese character "Fu" was posted. There was not even the slightest New Year atmosphere, and it was so deserted that it made people tremble.
She stepped forward lightly, and before she could speak, a guard recognized her and hurried forward to greet her: "Greetings, Princess." The people in Yuehan Palace would not call her County Princess, so they followed Xuan Tianming's way and called her that, and she was used to it.
"I came to see my mother. Is she there?"
"Yes." The guard turned to open the palace gate and said, "Empress Yun knew that the princess would definitely come. She also said that she would arrive after paying respects at the Jade Palace. It seems that the Empress Yun was right again."
Feng Yuheng smiled and stepped into Yuehan Palace. Immediately, a palace maid came forward to show her the way and told her, "Your Majesty is in Ziwei Palace. The director of the Imperial Observatory has come and is explaining the star power to Your Majesty."
"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory..." She muttered as she pondered. She seemed to have heard Xuan Tianming mention it before. It was a department in the palace that specialized in astrology. "Your Majesty also believes in this?"
The palace maid smiled and replied, "It's not really a belief. The queen only said that the people in the Imperial Observatory are very good at telling stories. Listening to them when you are bored can help pass the time."
Well, Concubine Yun actually had this idea, Feng Yuheng couldn't help but laugh. But thinking about it again, listening to the Imperial Observatory telling stories was indeed interesting.
As they were talking, they had arrived at Ziwei Palace. Huang Quan stood outside the door as per etiquette and did not go in. The little palace maid stood in front of the door and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the princess has arrived." Then, without waiting for a reply from inside, she stretched out her hand, gently pushed open the palace door, and made a gesture of invitation to Feng Yuheng.
Feng Yuheng walked in gracefully, and a palace maid came to lead the way. When she walked into the Ziwei Palace, she realized that the palace was built in a very mysterious way. Things related to yin and yang and the five elements could be seen everywhere, and even the colors were arranged according to the colors of the five elements. In front of her was a half-high platform, which was surrounded by curtains. It was hazy and she could vaguely see what was inside, but she couldn't see anything clearly.
A man in official uniform was standing below the stage, holding a scroll and narrating the changes in the stars in a serious manner. Feng Yuheng listened to the man and said, "In the past six months, the palace positions have changed frequently, with some stars rising and some falling. The Phoenix Star in the northwest has been in the capital for several months and has become stable. This star suddenly appeared in the world, and there was no sign of the star disk sliding. It also escaped from the twelve main palaces and suddenly lit up in the sky. It is truly a wonder that only happens once in a thousand years."
She didn't know why, but when she heard the word "Feng Xing", her heart suddenly began to tremble.
Subconsciously, she put her hand on her heart. The maid beside her looked at her in surprise and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the princess? Are you feeling unwell?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "It's okay." But his eyes turned towards the director of the Imperial Observatory.
When she looked at him, the supervisor had just finished his last sentence. Hearing someone coming forward from behind him, he tactfully stepped aside. As soon as Feng Yuheng's eyes met his, he suddenly raised his head as if he had sensed something. When their eyes met, the supervisor of the Imperial Observatory shuddered and his eyes widened.
"Is Hengheng here?" Concubine Yun's voice rose from the high platform.
Feng Yuheng nodded politely to the supervisor, then quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "The daughter-in-law pays respects to the mother, and wishes the mother everything goes well and has great blessings."
"Well, I just love listening to our Hengheng talk. The one who was telling the story just now, please step aside. I want to talk to my daughter-in-law." Concubine Yun always spoke casually. She couldn't remember the name of this supervisor, and she couldn't even figure out his official title. She only knew that he came to tell some very interesting astrological stories. She found it mysterious and interesting to listen to them.
The director of the Imperial Observatory did not care and bowed and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Feng Yuheng again, but the other party did not respond.
He left the palace, feeling his heart pounding. After years of astrology, his intuition was naturally sharper than that of ordinary people. He could conclude that the future wife of the Prince of Yu was a key star in his horoscope!
"Hengheng has arrived just in time." In Ziwei Palace, Concubine Yun had already walked down the high platform. She was wearing a sky-blue palace dress today. Although it was still plain, fortunately there were a few blooming flowers embroidered on it, which was a bit in line with the New Year's scene. "That person just finished telling a story about the Phoenix Star coming to the world, and I was worried that there was no one to talk to."
As Concubine Yun spoke, she took Feng Yuheng's hand and the two walked all the way to the seat in Ziwei Palace. Concubine Yun sat down first, and then she was allowed to sit. The servants then brought in a few plates of fruits.
"I don't know where Hua'er got these lychees in the middle of winter, but they're still very fresh. Try some." Concubine Yun pointed to a large plate of lychees in front of her and said, "I used to love eating these, but later I got tired of them. But it's still good to eat them occasionally in winter."
Of course Feng Yuheng couldn't really peel the lychees and eat them, so he quickly reached into his sleeves and took out two packages of things from his wide sleeves.
She was wearing a county princess's palace dress today, which had much wider cuffs than ordinary clothes, making it convenient for her to hide things at any time.
"Today is New Year's Day. Mother knows that most of the good things in my house were sent by His Highness, and I don't want to take advantage of him. But when I was in the northwest in the early years, I got a lot of good things from my Persian master, so I found something very practical to bring to you." As she spoke, she handed the two buns to Concubine Yun, and before she could ask, she stood up and walked forward a few steps, whispering in front of Concubine Yun.
Soon, Concubine Yun looked surprised and blurted out, "Is everything you said true?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "That's not a lie. You'll know when your mother's period comes next time by trying it." Two packs of sanitary napkins were really a blessing for women in ancient times.
Concubine Yun trusted Feng Yuheng very much, especially her new and interesting gadgets. She had enjoyed the small mirror very much. After receiving this special gift, Concubine Yun's expression was hard to hide. Although she still looked lazy, she seemed to be radiant. Compared with the first time she met her, she had regained some warmth.
"I have examined Ming'er's leg." Concubine Yun waved her hand and dismissed all the servants. Then she said, "I originally thought that he would not get better. I was very sad for a while, but I didn't expect that boy to be lucky enough to meet you."
Feng Yuheng smiled and replied, "Mother, you are too kind. Ah Heng and Your Highness's meeting was truly accidental. Thank you Your Highness for not abandoning me. This can be called fate."
Concubine Yun nodded, and was very satisfied with Feng Yuheng's humble look. Although this girl is from the Feng family, her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of the Yao family, and she is really not like Feng Jinyuan at all. "Since Ming'er was three years old, I have been wondering what kind of wife this kid will find in the future. If she doesn't suit my taste, I will never let her enter the house even if I break her legs. I didn't expect that many years later, I would have a girl like you who suits my taste. I am very satisfied." Concubine Yun chuckled for a while, and then, regardless of whether Feng Yuheng had anything else to say, she suddenly raised her hand: "Go, the Jade Palace is holding a banquet today, it will definitely be lively, go and see."
Feng Yuheng originally felt that Concubine Yun was somewhat moody, and now he thought that she had this problem again, so he didn't think much about it and stood up to bow and leave.
Yun Fei, who was still sitting in the same place, picked up a lychee, peeled it while looking at a corner with the corner of her eye, a sneer on her lips.
Feng Yuheng left Ziwei Palace and was walking towards Yuehan Palace with Huang Quan. When they were almost at the door, a man in a moon-white robe came towards them. He was otherworldly and elegant, like jade.
She laughed immediately, stepped forward quickly, and said loudly, "Seventh Brother."
The person who came was the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua. No one knew what he was thinking. He didn't even see Feng Yuheng. He didn't come back to his senses until he was called. He was stunned for a moment, looked at her and said, "Ah Heng."
Feng Yuheng could see the worry on his face at a glance, and couldn't help but ask, "Seventh Brother, what's wrong?"
Xuan Tianhua opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm here to see my mother, and I'll have to go to the Jade Palace in a while. You go first." After saying that, without waiting for Feng Yuheng to ask again, he walked towards the palace.
Even Huang Quan was stunned. The usually gentle Seventh Prince seemed to be in a bad mood today!
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything, and walked out of Yuehan Palace with a gloomy face. She knew that Xuan Tianhua must have encountered something, and this matter was very difficult to deal with, at least it made him feel embarrassed. But she couldn't figure out what exactly was it that made Xuan Tianhua embarrassed?
The two walked all the way to the Jade Palace, and from time to time they would meet ladies who were also giving gifts to various palaces and courtyards. Feng Yuheng suddenly asked, "By the way, who is the mother of the prince?"
Huang Quan told her, "It's Consort Gu, who lives in Yanfu Palace." Then he pointed to a fork in the road and said, "Go that way, it's the direction of Yanfu Palace."
As he was talking, several people were walking towards this side on the path. Huang Quan whispered, "They are all here to give gifts. Your Highness is very popular now, so naturally there are many people who are going to Yanfu Palace to give gifts."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Yes, people are always very good at seeing which direction the wind is blowing." As she spoke, she looked towards the path and saw two people vaguely visible behind the group of people Huang Quan had just pointed out. She had sharp eyes and could identify them immediately - "Look, the one walking behind, isn't that Feng Chenyu?"
