84_84041When Feng Jinyuan said this, not only the children, but even the old lady's heart sank. She had clearly heard Princess Rujia talking about Uncle Feng buying lanterns last night, but how come she didn't even remember it in front of her own children?
Xiangrong stood there in a daze, neither standing nor sitting. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head, twisting the handkerchief in her hands.
Feng Yuheng also looked aggrieved and said, "Father just talked to Princess Rujia about the custom of lanterns. Have you forgotten it so quickly? Ah Heng has just returned for the first year. It doesn't matter if father forgot about Ah Heng, but don't you buy lanterns for my third sister and eldest sister every year?"
Chenyu had already made up her mind to curry favor with Kang Yi. She and Xing'er had already analyzed the pros and cons of the relationship very thoroughly. But even so, she felt very uncomfortable today when she saw Feng Jinyuan only thinking about Kang Yi's daughter and completely ignoring them.
"The lanterns on the fifth day of the first lunar month can illuminate the children's future. Father, don't you want us sisters to have a good future?" Feng Yuheng sat on the chair and spoke quietly. "It's been a rough half year. The scar on my elder sister's forehead is still there. It's okay that father didn't take grandmother out to see the lanterns. I, your daughter, was filial to father and packed the same dishes as the old lady of the Bu family to show my filial piety to grandmother. But since you bought lanterns for Princess Rujia, why can't you buy a few more for us sisters?"
When she mentioned the old lady of the Qi family, the old lady became even more unhappy, and asked Feng Jinyuan with a gloomy face: "Are you a father?"
Feng Jinyuan regretted what the children said. He was so busy making Ru Jia and Kang Yi happy last night that he forgot about his children. He didn't expect that Feng Yuheng saw Mrs. Bu going out to watch the lanterns yesterday. This really embarrassed him.
He quickly stepped forward and said to the old lady, "It was Jin Yuan's negligence. Please punish me, mother."
"Punishment?" The old lady snorted coldly, then looked at Kang Yi and Ru Jia, her expression even worse: "Let me ask you, who is your daughter?"
In front of Rujia, these words were already very serious. Rujia looked a little embarrassed. Kangyi quickly pulled her and signaled her not to speak. Then he stepped forward and bowed to the old lady, saying, "This matter is all Kangyi's fault. Because it is the first time to come to Dashun, not to mention Rujia, even I feel very novel, so I asked Lord Feng to take my mother and me out for a walk. Lord Feng also loves Rujia more because he thinks of her father. Please don't blame Lord Feng. Kangyi will bear all the blame if there is any fault."
Feng Jinyuan quickly defended, "It's none of the Princess' business, mother. The Princess is a Thousand Zhou envoy, and my son is taking extra care of her to consolidate the foundation of the country. This is also to relieve His Majesty's worries!"
He directly carried the emperor out and successfully shut the old lady's mouth.
Feng Yuheng sighed softly and turned to look at Chen Yu: "Big sister doesn't have mother by her side either."
Feng Jinyuan snorted coldly, "The concubines in the mansion all respect their mother as their mother. Someone will love her in the future, so you don't need to worry."
"Yes." Feng Yuheng nodded and looked at her father with a smile: "Since taking care of foreign envoys is to consolidate the foundation of the country, why did father flatly reject the visit request of Prince Zong Sui that day?"
"How can Zong Sui be the same as Qian Zhou?" Feng Jinyuan waved his sleeves and said, "Don't stir up trouble here."
"Provoking?" She laughed. "I just don't understand what my father means. Since my father can't explain it to me, I will ask another father next time I enter the palace."
Feng Jinyuan shuddered and began to regret talking to Feng Yuheng like that. This girl could do anything. Who knows, her words might get spread to the palace tomorrow. Unfortunately, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to take them back.
He stood there feeling frustrated, angry and embarrassed, not knowing how to talk back.
Kang Yi saw that he was uneasy, and a hint of reluctance appeared on his face. He took the initiative to speak: "The county lady misunderstood Lord Feng. To be honest, this matter is my fault, because Ru Jia and Prince Zong Sui have always been at odds. I was afraid that they would quarrel again after he came, so Lord Feng did not dare to invite Prince Zong Sui into the mansion."
"Is that so?" Feng Yuheng said with a smile, "It's a good thing that father didn't let him come, otherwise I'm afraid that the brotherhood between Prince Zong Sui and His Royal Highness Prince Yu, who met too late, would not be fulfilled."
In a word, Emperor Daomingzong Sui and Xuan Tianming had reached a certain consensus, which made Feng Jinyuan even more regretful.
Kang Yi quickly changed the subject, took the initiative to walk in front of Chenyu, took her hand and said: "I know that your biological mother passed away, and there has been no one to take care of you, but I don't know why I always feel that I have a connection with you. We were wrong about the lantern incident yesterday. Please forgive us. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, Miss Feng, please just ask, and I will do my best."
Chenyu was stunned. Was this Kang Yi's promise to her as Princess Qianzhou?
Feng Yuheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Kang Yi. Without waiting for Chenyu to answer, he said, "Since the princess is so kind, we can forget about the lantern incident. Third sister, get up quickly and follow your second sister to thank the princess. It is our blessing to be blessed by the princess of a country."
Seeing Feng Yuheng and Xiangrong standing up, the old lady also said: "Yes, there are many children in the Feng Mansion, the eldest princess should not favor one over the other." After a series of events, the old lady's attitude towards Kang Yi has become much worse than before. She was also thinking in her heart that now nothing has happened further, and her son has only cared about her and ignored herself, and only loved her children but not his own daughter. What is this?
Kang Yi was just trying to show her goodwill to Chen Yu, but she didn't expect all the children in Feng Yuheng's family to be dragged in, and the old lady also interrupted. She immediately understood that after what happened yesterday, the old lady already had some opinions about her. If she didn't go along with her, she was afraid that today's test would not be easy.
Kang Yi quickly analyzed the pros and cons, then smiled and said to the old lady: "The Feng family treats Kang Yi and Ru Jia like family members, and Kang Yi is grateful for the kindness of everyone in the mansion. Please rest assured, old lady, to Kang Yi, the ladies are just as important as Ru Jia."
Hearing her assurance, the old lady nodded, indicating that she was quite satisfied. Feng Jinyuan also breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look towards Kang Yi.
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything else. Her original intention was just to remind the old lady, to let her know that Kang Yi was not Yao or Shen, and Feng Jinyuan treated her differently. As for whether this little trick could make Kang Yi give up the idea of marrying into the Feng Mansion, she knew in her heart that it was not enough.
Seeing Kang Yi resolve this small crisis calmly, Jin Zhen, who was sitting next to An, felt even worse. Ever since Kang Yi moved into the Feng Mansion, Feng Jinyuan has never set foot in Ruyi Courtyard again, and even his usual concern has disappeared. Now, in order to please Kang Yi, he is even unwilling to buy lanterns for Feng's daughter. It can be seen that Feng Jinyuan's heart has been firmly held in Kang Yi's hands, and no one can snatch it away.
Jin Zhen looked at Feng Yuheng with regret, and had to rethink her stance. Unfortunately, she looked for a long time, but Feng Yuheng didn't even look at her.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward. Feng Jinyuan talked to the old lady for a while. Seeing that the old lady was not very willing to pay attention to him, he was ready to get up and leave. But at this moment, a little girl hurriedly ran in from outside the door, leaned over to the old lady, and said urgently: "Old lady, the doorman came to report that an envoy from a foreign country wants to see you!"
"An envoy from a foreign country?" The old lady was stunned, and then looked at Feng Jinyuan: "Didn't you refuse the visit of Prince Zong Sui? What is he doing here?" Now, the foreign envoy in the capital, in addition to Kang Yi and her daughter who are already living in the mansion, is naturally Prince Zong Sui. The old lady thought about Feng Jinyuan's face when Feng Yuheng said that Prince Zong Sui and His Royal Highness were very congenial, so she hurriedly said: "No matter what the reason is, since he is here, you have to entertain him well. Come on, let's go to the front yard to take a look!"
Feng Jinyuan didn't understand why Li Kun came to see him again, and wanted to ask Feng Yuheng for confirmation, but he saw that Feng Yuheng didn't even look at him, as if nothing had happened, so he could only look away in dismay.
The old lady stood up and walked out the door with the help of Zhao Mama, and Feng Jinyuan hurriedly followed behind. Kang Yi walked while instructing Ru Jia: "Don't say too much later, they are here to visit your uncle Feng, it has nothing to do with us."
Ru Jia nodded, "I understand, mother, don't worry."
Everyone had their own plans in mind, especially the old lady and Feng Jinyuan. No matter what, it was always an opportunity for them that the prince of Zong Sui came in person.
The group walked to the front yard and saw a small group of people standing in the yard. The leader was a man wearing a light golden winter robe, with a tall figure and noble temperament. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a king. However, there was a hint of femininity between his eyebrows, and his narrow eyes revealed a bit of demonic aura.
Next to him was a woman, petite and thin, with a light veil covering her face and a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, looking very pitiful. The nails of the woman's ten fingers were dyed pure black, and there were several gold rings on her wrists, which jingled when she moved.
The rest of the people were attendants, both men and women, all dressed in foreign style. The women were graceful and charming, while the men had feminine features.
The old lady walked in front, and the man and woman saw someone coming, and they bowed deeply to the old lady. Then the man said, "I think this is the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I meet the old lady and pay my respects to her. It is really rude of me to come here today, and I hope the old lady will forgive me."
Feng Yuheng followed behind and frowned. Who is this person?
Just as I was wondering, I heard the old lady cheerfully reply: "No problem! No problem! It is an honor for the Feng family to have Prince Zong Sui as a guest."
The man was obviously stunned, and then he heard the woman beside him say in an almost bewitching voice: "The old lady misunderstood, we are not from Zong Sui."
"Ah?" The old lady was confused. Not from Zong Sui? She had never seen Li Kun before, so she naturally mistook him for someone else. But if he wasn't the prince of Zong Sui, then who was he?
The old lady didn't recognize him, but Feng Jinyuan could tell where he came from at a glance, so he stepped forward and bowed and said, "Are you from ancient Shu?"
