Feng Yuheng looked at her, taking the lead. I'll tell you, the fastest update is the eyes. Fast? But compared to Concubine Gu Xianfei's angry eyes, Feng Yuheng's eyes were more insightful.
Concubine Gu Xian insisted on staring at each other for a while, but had to give up and took a deep breath. She didn't want to talk to Feng Yuheng anymore.
But she was the one who called him here, so she couldn't just send him back without knowing the reason. Moreover, she didn't think the second young lady of the Feng family was someone who would be beaten easily. So she coughed lightly and said, "The reputation of the Ji'an County Lady is very high now."
Feng Yuheng replied: "Not as important as the virtuous concubine in my father's heart."
Concubine Xian retorted: "The one who matters most to the emperor is always Concubine Yun."
Feng Yuheng added: "But I didn't treat you badly because of this."
In just a few words, Concubine Gu Xian was actually interested in talking to her. This thirteen-year-old girl really couldn't be treated as a child. Every word she said was just right, neither praising nor criticizing, which gradually reduced her anger and calmed her down a little.
"Aren't you afraid that once you give away this royal favor and the admiration of the courtiers, you won't be able to take it back?" She asked the question that had been puzzling her for a long time. She didn't point it out, but Feng Yuheng could hear it.
The emperor's favor refers to the emperor's kindness to the eldest prince. Admiration refers to the court officials' gathering around the eldest prince. These things that originally belonged to the ninth and third princes were now all concentrated on the eldest prince. If the eldest prince had other thoughts, wouldn't she be making wedding clothes for others?
But Feng Yuheng smiled, "I am afraid, but there are many things that you can't do just because you are afraid. What's more, even if he doesn't return the grace and admiration, there will be no one to inherit it in the future."
Concubine Gu Xian felt a tightness in her heart. This was exactly why she knew her son was being used, but she had to swallow her anger. Xuan Tianqi was unable to have children, which was almost fatal for a prince. The condition of Feng Yuheng's deal with Xuan Tianqi was to cure his childlessness, but when would he be cured? Would she be able to get the treatment?
"Do you know that the steel healing technique will cost you your life?" Concubine Gu was really afraid that Feng Yuheng would die. The granddaughter of the Yao family, who was said to be more magical than the divine doctor Yao Xian, gave her hope, but she also put her life on the edge of the knife. If she died, everything would be in vain.
"Your Highness." Feng Yuheng looked at her with amusement, "No matter what the reason, Your Highness can take care of Ah Heng's life, Ah Heng is very grateful. But if I can't even save my life, I have no right to stand beside my future husband. Similarly, if Da Shun can't even save my life, he has no right to obtain my steelmaking technique." Concubine Gu Xian felt more and more that the girl in front of her had a unique aura. She didn't speak loudly, but the words she said were so sonorous and aggressive. And she had to admit that Feng Yuheng was right.
"I have wanted to ask you to come here for a long time." She told the truth, "I have been putting it off for a long time because of some things that happened to me. I originally planned to see you after the palace banquet today, but what I want to say is definitely not what I want to say now. I did not expect you to interrupt the iron essence at the palace banquet. I think it is not a loss for Qi'er to be used by someone like you. However, it is not good for a woman to be too violent. You should think more about yourself."
Feng Yuheng stood up, bowed to Concubine Gu again, and said with some sincerity: "Thank you for your concern, but you are wrong. There is no exploitation between us and His Highness. This is just a deal. And Ah Heng believes that His Highness has not lost out in this deal."
"Can you really cure him?"
Feng Yuheng told her: "The success rate is 80%."
"Only 80%?" Concubine Gu was angry again.
Feng Yuheng continued: "But for the doctor next to him, the chance is less than 10%. So, Madam Xianfei, you have no choice."
Concubine Gu closed her eyes slightly. Yes, she had no choice, and neither did her son. Regardless of whether he would become an emperor in the future, not having descendants was the most fatal thing. After so many years of treatment, Xuan Tianqi went to various countries to do business, and more than half of the reason was to find famous doctors and strange people to cure his illness. Unfortunately, even Yao Xian from Huangzhou had visited him, but there was still no hope.
But now, Feng Yuheng said that she could, not only could she, but she also offered an 80% chance. Concubine Gu had to admit that she was really tempted.
"We are indeed a family." She couldn't help but sigh, "You are the only one in the palace who can talk to me like this, apart from Yun Pianpian. No wonder you caught her eye. Forget it," she waved her hand, "the one kneeling outside is the eldest daughter of your Feng family, right? Take her back and don't pollute this palace."
As she spoke, she stood up and took a box from the palace servant beside her.
Feng Yuheng saw that the box had been prepared early in the morning, and it seemed that Concubine Gu Xian had already known the result of this conversation.
As expected, Concubine Gu opened the box and took out a pure gold hairpin from it. "Although gold is not as valuable as jade and crystal, it was my mother's dowry when I entered the palace, so it has some meaning. I will give it to you today as a gift to add to your makeup."
Feng Yuheng quickly knelt down to express his gratitude and accepted the hairpin, which meant they had reached a consensus on the transaction.
When they came out of Yanfu Palace, Feng Chenyu and Xing'er were carried by eunuchs. Their legs were completely unable to walk and their backs were covered with wounds. The eunuchs who were carrying them said as they walked, "Don't cry or make a fuss. There are nobles living in the palace. If you offend one of them, you may suffer even greater punishment."
This sentence really made Chenyu and Xing'er shut up. After they left the palace, Chenyu finally couldn't help it anymore and started howling loudly.
Feng Yuheng didn't bother to pay attention to her and got on the carriage. Huang Quan asked, "Should we send someone to follow their carriage?"
She shook her head. "What's there to follow? It's just that the howling was a little loud. She herself doesn't even feel ashamed. Why should we care about her business?"
Huang Quan thought so and stopped asking questions. He told the coachman to return home quickly.
Until the carriage finally stopped in front of the Feng Mansion, she lifted the curtain and walked out, only to find that everyone in the Feng Mansion, including the old lady, was already standing at the door to greet her.
Huang Quan helped her get out of the car and whispered in her ear, "The people of the Feng family are really good at currying favor."
Feng Yuheng shrugged and smiled.
Yes, this family has always been good at treating people differently. Now, most likely Feng Jinyuan told the old lady about her cutting off the iron essence, and the old lady felt that her attitude towards her a while ago was a bit too much, so she came out with all the people in the mansion to greet them.
Seeing Feng Yuheng get off the carriage, the old lady's eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and she walked forward with the support of Zhao Mama, her smile ready, her mouth opened, and she was about to speak her lines when she suddenly heard a howling sound coming from another carriage next to her. The sound was so miserable that it frightened her so much that her hair stood on end.
Feng Yuheng sighed softly and took the initiative to say, "Grandmother, you should go see the elder sister first. She has been punished by the Concubine Xian and can no longer walk."
"What?" The old lady and Feng Jinyuan exclaimed in unison. Feng Jinyuan asked her anxiously, "Didn't the Concubine Xian invite you over? Why did you punish your elder sister?"
Feng Yuheng raised her eyebrows: "I was invited, but Big Sister came to me on her own. How can it be the same thing?"
Feng Jinyuan also felt that he had asked the wrong question, and quickly changed his words: "Father means, do you know why your elder sister was punished?" Thinking about the recent courtesy of the eldest prince to Chenyu, he was shocked. Could it be that Concubine Xian was looking for trouble because of this? That would be bad. Concubine Gu Xian was not an ordinary concubine. Her status in the palace was almost the same as that of the queen. If such a person wanted to make trouble, it would be enough for his Feng family to drink a pot.
Feng Jinyuan thought of this and quickly took people to see Chenyu. As soon as he left, Jin Zhen, who was following closely beside him, naturally followed him. Han also went to watch the fun, but the old lady stayed where she was and looked at Feng Yuheng eagerly: "Your elder sister has always been a troublemaker. Let's ignore her. Grandmother heard that you cut off the iron essence of Zong Sui Kingdom, which brought honor to our Dashun!"
The old lady was a little excited when she spoke, and her voice became louder when she was excited. Feng Jinyuan hadn't walked far yet, but when he heard her mention this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead. How could he forget the important matter!
He quickly turned around and pulled Feng Yuheng towards the gate of the mansion, saying as he walked, "Father didn't think it through. Why did he let you stand outside? Let's go into the mansion first and we can talk about everything in detail after we sit down."
He was thinking about Feng Yuheng's safety. The old lady didn't think of that level, but she also felt that Feng Yuheng should be allowed to enter the house first. It was not okay for such an important person to stand at the door of the mansion all the time. So, the group hurried back to the mansion and headed for the Peony Courtyard.
Feng Jinyuan and the old lady led the others, and naturally they followed, having long forgotten Feng Chenyu who was howling in the carriage. Chenyu cried in the carriage for a while and felt something was wrong. She gritted her teeth and crawled to the door of the carriage to lift the curtain, but when the curtain was lifted, she found that except for the coachman and two guards standing below, no one came out to greet her at the door of Feng Mansion.
She was very puzzled. Just now she heard a group of people making a lot of noise, and it seemed that some people were walking towards this side. How come they suddenly disappeared?
The driver stood by and glanced at Chenyu with his peripheral vision, then quickly retracted his gaze. He felt that the eldest daughter of the Feng family was really a strange girl. No matter when or where, she could always maintain a posture that made people dare not look at her. She was too beautiful before and people dared not look at her. Now she has lost a piece of flesh on her forehead, which makes people unable to bear to look at her again.
"Where are the people from the Feng family?" Chen Yu stared at the driver fiercely and asked, "Where did they all go?"
The driver lowered his head and replied, "They all went back home."
"Go back home?" Feng Chenyu felt abandoned. Did this mean that she was no longer needed? Whatever - "You, get in the car."
"Ah?" The coachman stepped back in fear, "I dare not, I really dare not!" If he got on the young lady's carriage, even two of his heads would not be enough to chop off her.
Feng Chenyu gritted her teeth in anger, "I asked you to come up and get my maid down, and then go into the mansion to invite the master out!"
"This..." The coachman was a little embarrassed. Should he tell the eldest lady that the master had walked towards you, but turned back halfway?
While he was struggling, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar, as if many people were running together, with coordinated movements and powerful steps. The sound was getting closer and closer, and was actually approaching Feng Mansion.
Feng Chenyu and several of her servants were all stunned. It turned out that a team of guards came, at least nearly a hundred of them, each holding a spear and wearing heavy armor. When they got close, they split into two groups and quickly surrounded the entire Feng Mansion!
