Ru Jia tugged at Kangxi's sleeve in a daze, still angrily saying: "Mother, this family is too bullying, they simply don't take us seriously!"
Kang Yi came back to her senses after being pulled by her, but she immediately regained her dignified demeanor and looked at Zi Rui with a maternal look in her eyes: "You are the younger brother of Ji'an County Master, right? When did you return to Beijing? I heard that you were studying abroad, so I ignored you for a while. It's my fault. Can I apologize to you?"
It is rare for an adult to take the initiative to apologize to a child, not to mention that she is a princess. Logically, any child should be content. Reading artifact Om》し[Almost all books are available, much more stable and updated faster than ordinary sites, full text without ads. ]--But Feng Zirui shook his head and bowed, saying: "The princess is polite. Zirui is the younger brother of Ji'an County Lord. The princess does not need to apologize to Zirui. Zirui is young and has no right to complain. It's just that Princess Rujia just complained about Zirui's senior brother, so this is..."
"What's wrong with your brother?" Ru Jia rolled her eyes. "He insisted on playing chess when there were guests at home. Is he the king? Can't you just send a servant to get rid of him?"
Bang!
Feng Jinyuan couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he slammed the table and shouted, "Princess Rujia! Please stop talking!"
Ru Jia was frightened by him and trembled. Even Kang Yi felt something was wrong and quickly scolded Ru Jia: "You kid, how many times have I told you that being outside is not as good as being in Qian Zhou? Do you think anyone can pamper you like your uncle?"
Feng Jinyuan could tell from Kang Yi's tone that he was unhappy, but he didn't care about whether he was happy or not, and simply said: "My brother is none other than the current emperor. I hope the two princesses can understand my difficulties."
"What did you say?" Kang Yi's voice changed, and she couldn't help but look at Zi Rui again. This kid's senior brother is the current emperor? The king of Dashun? Why is there no such information in the news she found about the Feng family? Kang Yi suddenly realized that her intelligence system seemed to have a problem somewhere. She stood up in surprise and said, "Prime Minister Feng, Kang Yi has no idea about this, and Ru Jia is even more innocent!"
Ru Jia was also dumbfounded. She didn't expect this little brat to have such a big background? Also, did she just say that she scolded the Emperor of Dashun? Before coming here, the Emperor's uncle said that she must not offend the Emperor of Dashun.
"Don't blame those who don't know." Feng Jinyuan also saw that Kang Yi and Ru Jia really didn't know, so he had to smile and said, "My son does have an appointment with the emperor today. I will send someone to send him to the palace. The banquet in the mansion has been prepared. Let your mother accompany you two to the table first!"
Kang Yi said with a guilty look on his face: "Okay." He then looked at Feng Zirui and said: "Young Master is a handsome man. Today it's all Kang Yi's fault for not considering things carefully. I will make up for it with a gift another day."
Zi Rui was not polite and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Princess. Zi Rui will take his leave now." [After saying so much, he left in a hurry with Feng Jinyuan.
Feng Yuheng pursed her lips and looked at the cunning look Zirui gave her before he left. She just felt funny. This kid... really made her proud!
A group of people followed the old lady to the Flower Hall for a banquet. In the past, the Feng family did not strictly abide by the rule of wives and concubines sitting at the same table. Because Feng Jinyuan did not have many concubines, they would usually eat at the same table when they had a banquet.
But today was different. Today was the day to entertain the princess of Qian Zhou. It would be unacceptable to be so unruly as usual, so the old lady specifically ordered to separate the two tables, and separated An, Han and Jin Zhen. However, the concubines were also considered proper masters and could sit at the same table with the princess.
Kang Yi and Ru Jia had a falling out because of Zirui's matter. After sitting down, although Kang Yi was still dignified and proper, and Ru Jia's arrogance was much more restrained, they could still feel that the Feng family's attitude towards them was always indifferent, not as good as before.
Kang Yi was trying to find a way to make amends, when the maid who had returned to the posthouse to get Mo Gupi came back and rescued Kang Yi.
"Why did you take so long?" She asked casually, then stood up and walked forward to personally take the black fox skin. "Please look, old lady, this is the black fox that only appears in my Qianzhou territory."
Everyone looked over and saw that the skin was shiny black, with excellent fur color and luster. Kang Yi stroked it with his hand, as if it was still alive.
The most amazing thing is that the black fox was not only skinned, but also its head and face were peeled off. After peeling the head, someone had stuffed it with something, and it was bulging, with eyes slightly closed. It didn't look like it was dead at all, but clearly a fox in a light sleep.
The old lady liked it so much that she wanted to reach out and touch it, but she was afraid of disturbing the little fox's sleep, which made her feel itchy.
"Does the old lady like it?" Kang Yi had seen that the old lady liked it very much, but he still asked this question, and said: "The black fox is very difficult to hunt, and ordinary people are not qualified to hunt it. This is the black fox that I, the King of Qianzhou, hunted personally. Give it to the old lady to make a cloak."
"Did the King of Qianzhou really hunt it himself?" The old lady was very happy. "It's really too valuable!"
"Only expensive things are worthy of the old lady!" This was said by Ru Jia. This girl has a really good temper. Although she is very reluctant to give up, once she understands that things are doomed and cannot be changed, she will immediately accept the gift and try every means to make the recipient happy. "The old lady is of noble status, so she needs a black fox cloak to complement her."
The old lady was so happy that she was so happy that she quickly took the skin and hugged it, not wanting to let it go. After all, Aunt Zhao felt that this was too pathetic, so she urged her several times before she finally asked for the thing and took it back to keep it herself.
The old lady treated Kang Yi in a completely different manner. The slight unhappiness that had arisen from Zirui's incident was swept away, and she warmly invited him to the banquet.
Kang Yi just picked up the chopsticks and glanced at the concubine's table next to him as if by chance. Then he sighed and asked the old lady, "Madam, Kang Yi is asking something that should not be asked. Do you usually have two separate tables for banquets in your mansion?"
The old lady smiled and said, "To be honest with you, Princess. On weekdays, there are no outsiders. Jin Yuan doesn't have many concubines, so they eat together. Today, Princess and Princess Ru Jia are here, and they are absolutely not allowed to sit on the table." As she spoke, she looked at Chen Yu Xiang Rong and Fendai, and added, "Logically, concubines shouldn't sit on the table. It's just that there are not many young people in the house. If they don't sit up, it will inevitably seem too lonely."
These words made Chenyu and Fendai feel upset! But what could they do? A concubine is a concubine, the old lady was right. Xiangrong didn't feel anything, and the tea in his hand didn't even shake.
At this time, Feng Yuheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "I seem to have heard that in Qianzhou, the system of wives and concubines is not very strict, and there are not as many rules as in Dashun, right?"
Kang Yi smiled and nodded, "The county lady is right. In my Qian Zhou Dynasty, it is normal for wives and concubines to sit at the same table for a feast. So I was thinking... Old lady, there are only three people at the table on the left and right, why don't we sit together."
"Oh! This is not good!" The old lady was a little surprised. Normally, nobles would look down on concubines, but she didn't expect that the eldest princess would actually let a concubine sit at the table for dinner.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Kang Yi said, "Although we should follow the local customs, Kang Yi still hopes that the old lady will not treat us mother and daughter as outsiders. Since it's a family dinner, everything should be done according to the usual rules of the Feng Mansion."
The old lady hesitated for a moment, and was at a loss for what to do. She actually looked at Feng Yuheng.
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "This is the eldest princess's kindness. It is also the custom of Qian Zhou for wives and concubines to sit at the same table. Grandmother, why don't you just follow the eldest princess's lead!"
In a word, Ru Jia didn't understand what was said, but when Kang Yi heard it, she was once again convinced that the brain of the Princess of Ji'an was indeed not to be used as a show.
The wife and concubine sit at the same table, is this comparing her to a wife? As the eldest princess, the guest follows the host's wishes, which means she has become the host.
But Kang Yi still chose not to understand. When he saw the old lady nodded, he stood up and went to the nearby table to invite the three people to sit down.
An was just surprised, thinking that Kang Yi was smooth and steady, worthy of being a princess. But Han and Jin Zhen saw this as a great favor, and they were flattered and thanked her repeatedly, and Han looked like she was about to cry.
The old lady looked at Kang Yi and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was a pity that her husband died early, otherwise with such a virtuous wife at home, wouldn't she have lived a fairy-like life?
Soon, Feng Jinyuan also came back. When he came in, he saw several concubines being invited to the table from another table, and he was also grateful.
Ru Jia was the first to see Feng Jinyuan and shouted enthusiastically, "Master Feng is back!"
Feng Jinyuan smiled and asked, "Princess, are you used to Dashun's diet?"
Ru Jia said with a smile: "It's a habit. I think it tastes really good."
Kang Yi laughed and said, "You are already a grown-up girl, but you still only think about eating."
As he spoke, Feng Jinyuan walked to the table. Originally, he was supposed to sit next to the old lady and Feng Yuheng, but after inviting three other people to the table, the seating order became a bit messy. At this time, there was only one seat left next to Kang Yi.
Feng Yuheng glanced at the empty chair, raised the corner of his lips wickedly, and said, "Father, please take a seat quickly. Just now, a few drops of tea fell on your chair, and it was the eldest princess who personally wiped it away with her sleeve. Father, please don't let the princess down."
This made Kang Yi very embarrassed, but after all, she had been through a lot, so she had a very strong mentality. The embarrassment lasted only a moment, and then she immediately said, "The New Year's Eve banquet is just for the atmosphere. The children of the Northern Kingdom are not particular about trivial matters, so why bother the servants? When Prime Minister Feng rescued many people of Qianzhou during the disaster in the Northern Border, what a small thing Kang Yi did is nothing."
Feng Jinyuan laughed heartily, feeling very happy. He strode to Kang Yi's side, lifted his robe, and sat down.
The old lady didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after Feng Jinyuan sat down, Chenyu stood up and pretended to pour wine for her father. In the past, this matter of pouring wine was mostly done by Chenyu. It was normal for a daughter to pour wine for her father, and Feng Jinyuan also habitually pushed the cup forward.
But before Chenyu's wine jug reached her, another wine jug was suddenly extended to her and filled her glass before Chenyu's.
Chenyu was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Naru Jia smilingly squeezed towards Feng Jinyuan, and said warmly: "Uncle Feng, please have a drink." The address was also changed from Lord Feng to Uncle Feng.
Feng Yuheng smiled, then leaned back on the chair and whispered to Huang Quan who was standing behind him, "Should they be here by now?"
Huang Quan said: "It won't take more than a moment, Miss, why don't you try counting to dozens?"
Feng Yuheng smiled even more brightly, "Okay!" Then she counted silently in her mind: ten, nine, eight, seven... three, two, one.
At this time, the housekeeper He Zhong rushed in from outside the Flower Hall.
