good?
What's good about it!
If Xuan Tianyan wasn't a prince, Feng Jinyuan really wanted to slap him - "Your Highness Prince Li, don't you understand! The more you do that, the angrier the emperor will be! Are you trying to put my Feng family to death?"
"This..." Xuan Tianyan was speechless. I'll tell you, the fastest update is the eye. Fast?
Feng Jinyuan added: "Your Highness Prince Li is a prince, but my Feng family is not an ordinary person. If Your Highness insists on making things difficult for me, don't blame me for being ruthless! Prince Li should think about it carefully. You can't afford my Feng family anymore!"
Feng Jinyuan's words were extremely impolite. First, Xuan Tianyan really couldn't get any benefits from the emperor. He, a prime minister of the first rank, really didn't take the prince who had no real power and no emperor's favor seriously. Second, what made Feng Jinyuan stand up straight was that his second daughter now had the steelmaking technique, which was a treasure that the whole Dashun had to protect. Not to mention a prince, even the emperor had to smile more when he saw Feng Yuheng. As a father, couldn't he use this light to be a little tougher?
But after he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Feng Yuheng who had followed him. Seeing that the other party had no intention of refutation, he was relieved and said, "Your Highness, please go back. The Prime Minister will send someone to send the engagement letter back tomorrow. Don't mention this matter again."
"Father!" When she heard that the engagement letter was to be returned, Fendai immediately became anxious. She had been living a comfortable life in the mansion relying on the favor of the Fifth Prince. She never wanted to go back to the days when her father and grandmother didn't love her. The Fifth Prince's engagement must not be cancelled. "Father, now everyone knows that my daughter is engaged to the Fifth Prince. Even if it's cancelled, how can you let your daughter get married in the future when she has broken off the engagement with the prince!"
Feng Jinyuan got angry when he heard Fendai talking. It was difficult to behave in the hall just now, but now there were not so many people around. His anger suddenly jumped up - "Shut your mouth! You little bastard, sooner or later the Feng family will be destroyed by you!"
Feng Fendai was confused. How could it be so serious? What did she do wrong?
She stared at Xuan Tianyan blankly and asked him puzzledly: "I tried every means to find out your preferences. I heard that you like to watch the Snow Plum Dance. You gritted your teeth to practice in the cold weather and got frostbite on your feet. But why is the emperor angry when I dance so well? Isn't today the New Year? Didn't they say that during the New Year, the ministers can display their talents? Why is this happening?"
Xuan Tianyan looked at Fendai, who was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and felt distressed. But what should he say? No matter what he said, it would be wrong!
Princess Kang Yi, who had been standing next to him, spoke again at this time, persuading Xuan Tianyan, "Your Highness, don't be anxious. Listen to my advice and go back home first. This matter happened suddenly, and you should let Prime Minister Feng go back home to think about it carefully." Then she looked at Feng Jinyuan and advised, "People shouldn't make decisions when they are excited. Prime Minister Feng, think twice."
Feng Jinyuan was not too upset, and was very pleased with what Princess Kang Yi said. So he nodded, "Well, Your Highness, please go back home, and we will discuss this matter later."
Xuan Tianyan had no other choice. He glanced at Fendai and wanted to give her some advice, but he felt that nothing he said would help and he had no position to do so, so he simply waved his sleeves and left.
Fendai looked at his departing back and cried even more pitifully.
Feng Jinyuan said helplessly to Kang Yi: "Since the Queen Mother said to let this little beast stay with the princess for a few days, it is not easy for Jinyuan to take her back, so please take care of her for a few days!"
Kang Yi smiled and said, "It's okay. At least I can keep Ru Jia company."
Princess Rujia had no doubts about this, but just reminded Feng Jinyuan: "My Lord, don't forget the appointment tomorrow. I really want to eat the food of the Central Plains."
Feng Jinyuan then smiled, "Don't worry, Princess, we have everything you need in the house."
Kang Yi and his group left first with Fendai, and Feng Jinyuan finally found time to ask Feng Yuheng, "Why didn't I see your elder sister during the entire palace banquet?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "I don't know."
Feng Jinyuan wanted to ask how could you not know? Then he thought again, Feng Yuheng would naturally go to see Concubine Yun after paying respects to the Queen, and he couldn't just keep looking at Chenyu. When he brought Zirui to the Jade Palace, Chenyu was gone.
Xiangrong couldn't bear to see her father in such a difficult situation, so she replied, "When my elder sister went out, I was here. She said she was going to pay her respects to the virtuous concubine."
"Concubine Gu?" Feng Jinyuan frowned. "Concubine Gu was there during the palace banquet. Why hasn't your elder sister come back yet?"
Xiangrong also shook her head this time, "My daughter doesn't know."
He had no choice but to tell Feng Yuheng: "Zi Rui left with the little prince first and went to play in Prince Yuan's Mansion. I will pick him up when I pass by Prince Yuan's Mansion on my way back home. You go back home first, and I will ask where Chen Yu went." He was really having a headache. Except for the most honest third daughter, none of the others gave him peace of mind. One caused trouble and the other disappeared. What on earth was going on?
Before Feng Yuheng left, a little palace maid came forward, bowed in front of her, and said respectfully: "This servant greets the county lady. This servant is a servant of Yanfu Palace. The virtuous concubine ordered this servant to invite the county lady to Yanfu Palace for a chat."
"Xian Concubine?" The one who spoke was Feng Jinyuan. As soon as Xian Concubine was mentioned, the other party sent someone to invite her. He just didn't know what Feng Yuheng was going to do. But no matter what, he believed that with Feng Yuheng's current status, it would not be a bad thing for Xian Concubine to send her over. Feng Yuheng mastered the art of steelmaking and was the most popular person in front of the emperor. What was Xian Concubine doing to trouble her at this critical moment? Everyone in the palace had ten minds. Who knows, they might ask her to come over to give her a reward or to gain connections. He hurriedly said to Feng Yuheng, "Then Ah Heng, you go quickly."
Feng Yuheng nodded and said, "Now that the eldest sister and the fourth sister are not here, father should take Xiangrong back home with you. I am worried about leaving her alone."
"Of course." Feng Jinyuan's attitude towards her was very good, "You should be careful when you go back." After thinking about it, he simply walked forward and whispered: "Father will leave the secret guard to you and ask him to wait at your palace carriage. Your safety is the most important thing now, and you must not be careless."
She didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement. Then she patted Xiangrong, turned around and followed the palace maid towards Yanfu Palace.
Feng Jinyuan watched her walk away, thinking in his heart that he must strengthen the guard after returning home, especially the county lady's mansion. He now has the responsibility to protect the safety of his daughter. If Feng Yuheng gets into trouble at home, his life will be in danger.
Feng Yuheng followed the maid all the way to Yanfu Palace. The maid kept her mouth shut and said nothing. She was too lazy to ask. Concubine Xian was the biological mother of the eldest prince Xuan Tianqi. She had been prepared to be summoned. Of course, this summons was definitely not because of Feng Chenyu, but about the deal between them and Xuan Tianqi.
When she finally arrived at Yanfu Palace, the first thing she saw was Chenyu and Xing'er kneeling in the courtyard. They were kneeling in a state of disarray. Chenyu's head cloth was loose and her bun was open, and she looked very miserable. Xing'er was even more unlucky. Because she was a servant, the maids beat her harder, and her back was bloody and her heavy winter clothes were soaked with blood.
When passing by them, Feng Yuheng stopped for a moment, and saw Chenyu raised her head, her eyes were a little dazed, even Feng Yuheng, who was ruthless to the bone, could not successfully focus.
The little palace maid who had been silent all the way finally spoke up: "They cursed the virtuous concubine and were punished to kneel here. The county lady should go in quickly to avoid polluting your eyes."
She smiled and nodded, retracted her gaze, and followed the palace maid into the main house.
Concubine Gu Xian was the oldest among all the concubines of Tianwu, nearly fifty years old, and also the woman who had been with Tianwu the longest. In this palace, apart from the Empress in charge of the six palaces, the power to assist in the management of the six palaces naturally fell into her hands.
But Concubine Gu Xian was also a sensible person, she would not say a word, but if anyone wanted to do something under her nose, it would be absolutely unacceptable. Tianwu might not love her, but he had absolute respect for her and a close relationship with her for the rest of their lives, so Concubine Gu Xian's status in the palace should not be underestimated.
Feng Yuheng had actually been prepared to be summoned by Concubine Gu Xian, but she thought it should have been earlier, but it ended up being delayed until today's palace banquet. And everything that happened at the palace banquet had already left Concubine Gu Xian with no bargaining power in front of her.
While she was thinking, someone had already approached her. She leaned over and bowed, performing a thorough ceremony. "Ah Heng greets the virtuous concubine. May the concubine live a long and healthy life."
Concubine Gu sat upright, still in her palace dress, with complicated pendants on her head, which made her look even more majestic.
Feng Yuheng saluted, but she did not call him in time, but examined the Ji'an County Lady. Just now in the hall, this girl was too sharp, and she didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, but she felt that this girl had a layer of halo all over her body, which made her unable to open her eyes, and she didn't have time to take a closer look.
But now, she couldn't let Feng Yuheng maintain the posture of greeting for too long. After all, he had been hesitating whether to meet her before the New Year, and he had prepared many questions. But now, the opportunity was lost, and when facing this little girl again, she no longer had any advantage.
"Stand up." Concubine Gu was calm and collected. "Please take a seat."
Feng Yuheng stood up, smiled and thanked him, then sat down on the guest seat without being servile or overbearing. Her gestures were decent and generous, and she was not as reserved and shy as those little girls. Concubine Gu felt that this girl's personality was somewhat similar to Xuan Tiange's.
To be honest, she liked Feng Yuheng a lot, and even admired him. After all, she broke the iron essence with one sword, which not only won great honor for Dashun, but also said that she would apply the steelmaking technique to the Dashun army. How could people not admire such courage in a thirteen-year-old girl?
But one thing is one thing. Whenever she thought of Feng Yuheng teaming up with Xuan Tianming to push her son to the pinnacle of government, she became furious.
Her son had been in business all his life, and she had never expected Xuan Tianqi to seize the throne, nor did she want him to participate in the struggle for imperial power. From childhood to adulthood, in order to allow Xuan Tianqi, the eldest son of the emperor, to avoid the struggle for the throne and the fight between brothers, her Gu family had put in a lot of effort, but they had not expected that one day her son would be persuaded by Xuan Tianming and this girl together!
Concubine Gu stared at Feng Yuheng, her eyes revealing undisguised hostility——
