When Feng Jinyuan heard the princess mention him, he quickly stood up and bowed, saying repeatedly: "I dare not, I dare not. I will tell you, the fastest update is the eye. Fast?"
Emperor Tianwu looked at Feng Jinyuan and said, "The northern border of Dashun is adjacent to Qianzhou. This time, Lord Feng was ordered to go to the northern border to suppress the disaster. He really saved me from a great difficulty."
After he said that, Feng Jinyuan dared not stand on his seat anymore. He hurried to the front of the hall, lifted his robe and knelt down: "It is my humble servant's duty to share the worries of His Majesty."
Kang Yi smiled and said, "Lord Feng is a role model for loving his country and his people. This year's natural disasters are more severe than ever before, and even Qianzhou, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, cannot escape the disaster. Some refugees on the border fled to Dashun due to famine, and Lord Feng not only did not forcibly drive them away, but also provided them with porridge and tea, which is really admirable and touching. Before Kang Yi came, my brother specifically told me that when I arrived in Dashun, I must thank Lord Feng for his love for the people, and also thank His Majesty Dashun for his broad mind. I, Qianzhou, will definitely be grateful for the help from Dashun this time, and both the monarch and the people will remember it in their hearts."
Tianwu was very pleased with the sincere words, and immediately affirmed Feng Jinyuan's trip to the Northern Territory again.
Compared to Zong Sui, the audience with the envoys from Qian Zhou was much more ordinary, without any big twists and turns. Apart from being able to see the Guanghan silk, there were no more surprises. Soon, the eldest princess and the little princess of Qian Zhou completed their mission and were given a seat to watch the singing and dancing together.
Because they were all foreign envoys, they were seated next to the prince Zong Sui. Li Kun and Kang Yi were very polite, bowed to each other, and exchanged pleasantries. But Princess Rujia was not so calm. She looked at Li Kun with a malicious smile, which made Li Kun feel scared. Then she said, "I heard about Zong Sui's shameful incident outside the palace just now. He thought it was a treasure to be presented to the emperor, but it was cut off on the spot. It was really a disgrace."
Originally, Li Kun was not a person who cared about things. In his opinion, this matter was over, and Dashun could still transfer the crisis of Zong Sui to him, so why not do it? But he was generous, but Princess Rujia's malicious damage was another matter. Li Kun's face darkened, and he was holding back his anger. Before he could do anything, he heard Princess Kangyi scolding Rujia, "Shut up! Your uncle spoiled you in Qianzhou, but it doesn't mean he can indulge you to this extent! This is Dashun, put away your stubborn temper, and apologize to His Highness Zong Sui!"
Ru Jia was almost crying because of her scolding, and she bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying. Although she was still stubborn and unwilling to apologize to Li Kun, Li Kun was too embarrassed to care about it. After all, he was a grown man, and it was not good to get angry with a little girl. This little girl looked like his sister, and she was at her most angry. He was also a little angry just now.
So Li Kun quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Princess, please don't blame Princess Rujia anymore. It's all my fault. It's my fault."
"Hmph!" Ru Jia glared at him. "Just know that it's your fault. But this princess won't apologize to you." After saying that, she sat down.
Kang Yi was helpless and said to Li Kun, "Your Highness, please understand. This child's father passed away early, so the emperor and I were biased towards her. Who would have thought that she would become like this after so many times?"
After she said that, Li Kun felt even more embarrassed and even a little guilty. He waved his hands repeatedly and drank a glass of wine to apologize.
Feng Yuheng sat at the other end and watched from afar. No matter how she looked at her, she felt that Princess Kang Yi was really very graceful, beautiful and dignified. Even though she had been married once and had a daughter, she still attracted the attention of many officials in the court.
Xuan Tiange said to her: "The mother is good, but the daughter is too bad. Ah Heng, do you think that the personality differences between mother and daughter can be so great?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head. "From the perspective of genetics, there is a possibility of mutation, but the probability is not too high. But after all, we have never had a deep relationship with Ru Jiashen. If she was just spoiled and had some bad tempers, it is not impossible. Maybe she has a good heart."
Bai Furong was shocked when she heard this, "How is that possible?"
Feng Yuheng thought that it was unlikely, "Then she must have taken after her father."
Xuan Tiange said: "It is more likely that this mother's dignity is simply an act."
Feng Yuheng agreed with this to some extent. After looking at the opposite side for a while, he suddenly said, "Look, they are sitting down. I bet that Princess Kang Yi will have to come over after drinking two sips of the tea in her hand."
When he heard her talking about the bet, Ren Xifeng said to Xuan Tiange straightforwardly, "After the palace banquet is over, I'll have someone deliver the banknotes to your house."
Bai Furong asked her, "Are you giving up?"
Ren Xifeng nodded. "Ever since she said she wanted to thank Ah Heng's father, I knew I had lost. Ah Heng, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Yi took two sips of the tea in his hand, then put it down, stood up, walked around the tables and chairs, and walked towards the direction where Feng Yuheng was.
Feng Yuheng did not feel anything when talking with a princess from a foreign country, but Xiangrong was a little nervous. Seeing the princess coming over, she smiled at Feng Yuheng and at her, and it was not a big deal, but her smile made her feel a little uneasy.
Subconsciously, she moved closer to Feng Yuheng, but Feng Yuheng had already stood up, exchanged greetings with the princess, and then took the initiative to say, "Princess, you are polite."
Kang Yi also replied to her: "Princess Ji'an is polite." She spoke in a gentle voice and had a decent attitude. She was a well-educated person. "On the way here, I occasionally heard that Princess Ji'an cared about the people and saved the victims of the winter disaster in the capital. After entering the capital, the princess's name became even more popular. I thought that if Qianzhou could also have such a capable princess to share the worries of my brother, I would be relieved."
Feng Yuheng also had a decent smile on her face. Facing the maturity and stability of Princess Kang Yi, she showed more of her aura. That aura was bold, heroic and graceful. That kind of indescribable temperament made Kang Yi, who could help his brother ascend the throne, unable to look away.
"The princess is too modest." Feng Yuheng spoke up and said lightly: "Everyone in the world knows that with the princess here, the king of Qianzhou will have nothing to worry about."
"Alas." Kang Yi sighed softly, "Qianzhou is my hometown. No matter where I go, I hope my hometown will get better and better."
"That's natural." Feng Yuheng raised his head slightly and looked at him, "So, everyone is willing to stay in their hometown."
Kang Yi was slightly startled, but soon recovered. He glanced at Xiang Rong again and said with a smile, "I guess this girl must be the daughter of Lord Feng, right? I see that she has some Phoenix-like features in her eyes and eyebrows!"
Xiangrong blushed, bowed to Kang Yi and said nothing.
She was indeed the one who looked most like Feng Jinyuan among his daughters, and since she was sitting next to Feng Yuheng, it was not surprising that she was recognized.
Xiangrong was embarrassed, so Feng Yuheng answered on her behalf: "This is my third sister Feng Xiangrong. She is still young. I hope the princess will forgive me if I am impolite."
"No problem." Kang Yi smiled and said, "Lord Feng took in 200 refugees from Qianzhou when he was suppressing the disaster in the northern border. I am very grateful. When Ru Jia followed Minister Qianzhou to the border to pacify the refugees, she caught a cold and received warm tea from Lord Feng. This made me not forget his kindness. Today I came to the capital of Dashun and brought some gifts to the daughters of the Feng family." As she spoke, she half turned around and took a few things from the accompanying maid. "This is a square handkerchief, all made of Guanghan silk, the national treasure of Qianzhou. Because all the Guanghan silk was sent to Dashun as tribute, we can't make anything decent with the remaining Guanghan silk in Qianzhou. I hope the county lady and the third lady will not dislike it."
Xiangrong quickly leaned forward again and finally spoke: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I absolutely do not deserve the word "disdain".
Feng Yuheng also said: "The Princess is too polite. Ah Heng didn't even prepare a return gift. I really feel ashamed to accept such a valuable gift!"
"Please don't say that, County Lady. However, if you don't accept this small gift, it will be difficult for me."
It would be bad not to accept it, so Feng Yuheng smiled and reached out to take the handkerchief. Seeing Feng Yuheng take it, Xiangrong followed suit.
Kang Yi paid close attention to the two people's reactions after receiving the handkerchief. In her impression, Guanghan silk, Liangren brocade, Shuiyunduan, Ruoyesha and Ruanyanluo were known as the five treasures. The four small countries had to pay tribute to Dashun if they got them. Even so, the quantity was still small. It was said that it was difficult for the ladies in the Dashun Palace to get it, let alone the daughters of officials.
I thought Miss Feng would be very surprised and happy to get the handkerchief made of Guanghan silk, but I didn't expect that the Ji'an County Lady would be as happy as if she had just received an ordinary object. And the third Miss Feng Xiangrong just glanced at it a few more times and was not as happy as she expected.
Kang Yi was surprised and a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it and still had that decent smile on his face.
How could she know that the Five Treasures were just the bottom of the box for Feng Yuheng. Even if it was Xiangrong, Feng Yuheng had given her this kind of handkerchief and a whole set of clothes. Although it was still fresh, it was not as fresh as before.
"Guanghan silk is extremely valuable. The princess is really thoughtful." Feng Yuheng smiled and thanked her. "I wonder how long the princess will stay in Dashun? Ah Heng will visit you another day."
Kang Yi said: "Don't worry, I may stay here for a few more days."
"Okay."
The two were talking to each other when a dance in the hall just ended. The song and dance stopped, but the next group of dancers did not come on stage.
A courtier who was enjoying drinking shouted loudly: "Why did you stop? Keep dancing!"
People laughed because it was the New Year and it was fun, and no one thought it was wrong.
But the singing and dancing did not continue. After waiting for a long time, someone suddenly said "Huh" with a puzzled look. Then came a melodious flute sound. I don't know where the flute sound came from, but it sounded a bit mysterious and exotic.
Feng Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly and cast his gaze outside the Jade Palace...
