Feng Yuheng fell into a deep sleep with anticipation for a good show. When he woke up, it was already noon the next day. Xuan Tianming had returned from court, and the maid had already brought lunch to his bedroom.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, still not coming back to her senses from the handsome face that suddenly approached her. She stretched out her hand to pinch it, and then pressed on the purple lotus. She said in a daze, "Your birthmark is really good at growing. Not only is the shape beautiful, the color is also good, and the place is so right. I really want to remove it from you!"
As she spoke, she took action.
Xuan Tianming was suddenly pinched by her, and he screamed in pain and jumped away from the bed. He then pointed his finger at the person on the bed and said, "You really want to push me down the path of disfigurement!"
Feng Yuheng was sobered up after being shocked by him. He rubbed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Fortunately you ran fast, otherwise if the purple lotus was gone, this face would really be useless."
Xuan Tianming was furious. After talking for so long, this damn girl still cared about looks.
Never mind, just look at the face. Both the left and right sides of the face are his, so looking at the face is the same as looking at him. It’s not a bad idea to think about it this way.
While comforting himself happily, he put on the mask again, then pulled Feng Yuheng up to wash and eat. After dinner, he urged her to change into a very festive pink dress, and then dragged her to the gate of the mansion.
Feng Yuheng was puzzled, "What on earth are we going to do? To attend a wedding?"
Xuan Tianming waved his hand, and only said, "Attend the wedding banquet" after both of them had gotten into the imperial carriage.
"Whose wedding is it?" she wondered. "Whose wedding is it that would be worthy of your presence, the Ninth Prince? And bring your wife along too?" Who on earth is so arrogant that they both could attend at the same time?
Xuan Tianming smiled but did not answer this question until the carriage stopped again. The maid opened the curtain. When she saw that the carriage was parked in front of the gate of Xinfeng Mansion, her eyes finally lit up - "Is this the good show you talked about last night?"
Today, the front of the Xinfeng Mansion was particularly lively. Many people came over with joy on their faces. While congratulating Feng Jinyuan who was standing at the door of the mansion, they took the initiative to go to the gatehouse to register their gifts.
Feng Yuheng felt that these people looked familiar, and after careful identification, they were actually the Dashun officials who had had dealings with Feng Jinyuan when he was still the prime minister. These people had not appeared in the Feng family for a long time since Feng Jinyuan was demoted, but they did not expect that they would come to the door again today, and the person they congratulated was just a person without official rank who fed horses at the horse farm.
She turned her head to ask Xuan Tianming: "You got all these people here, right?"
As he was speaking, he heard another servant outside shouting, "Right Prime Minister Feng has arrived!"
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead, "Uncle Feng is here, Xuan Tianming, what are you trying to do? With so many people coming, does the Feng family have the money to entertain them? They can't even afford the tea, right?"
Huang Quan pinned the carriage curtain to the jade frame, turned around and said to her: "Drinking tea is nothing, we still have to provide meals! With so many people coming, the Feng family must hold a banquet."
Xuan Tianming also nodded and said, "That's right. I told them that the Feng family has a new baby. Even if you don't give face to Feng Jinyuan, you have to give face to Princess Ji'an and me. You should all go to show your support. But you can't go empty-handed. You have to prepare a gift. Once the gift money arrives, how could the Feng family not even provide a meal?"
Feng Yuheng sat in the imperial carriage with her legs crossed, not moving at all. After hearing what was said, she finally understood. Did these people come here just for our sake?
Xuan Tianming nodded.
She blinked, and suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "This banquet is probably not a good one, it's probably the tip of the knife is pointing inwards, you set a trap for Feng Jinyuan, right?"
Before Xuan Tianming could answer, another imperial carriage stopped at the gate of Feng Mansion. Although the imperial carriage was different from the ordinary carriage, the new one was still much worse than Xuan Tianming's. Not only was it half as small, but the materials and curtains used in the carriage were incomparable. It wasn't shabby, but a little conservative. It looked... Feng Yuheng thought, this is the gap between the United States and North Korea!
The person who got off the small imperial carriage was the fifth prince Xuan Tianyan. As soon as he got off the carriage, he didn't have time to greet Feng Jinyuan, but instead ran towards Xuan Tianming first.
Feng Yuheng saw that he looked unhappy, and couldn't help but nudge the person next to him with his elbow, "Hey! Are you here to fight us?"
Xuan Tianming laughed, "How could he have that ability?"
As he was talking, Xuan Tianyan had already arrived under the carriage. The slightly angry expression on his face turned into a bitter smile when he looked at Xuan Tianming. The fifth prince spread his hands and said helplessly, "Ninth brother, what are you going to do again?"
Obviously, the Fifth Prince was also confused by what Xuan Tianming had done.
But Xuan Tianming didn't think he was doing anything wrong. When asked, he answered as a matter of course, "Of course, I am trying to please my future father-in-law! Oh, Fifth Brother, you don't know, although we both betrothed the daughter of the Feng family as our principal wife, this daughter-in-law is not easy to please! You can get rid of her by giving her some jewelry and clothes, but I have been given the title of Princess and the fiefdom of counties, but I still can't satisfy her. So I thought, why not start with my father-in-law? If I can please him, I think my daughter-in-law will be able to treat me well."
He said this calmly, almost pissing the Fifth Prince off to death. But what if he was angry? Although he called the man in front of him his Ninth Brother, he would not recognize him as his Fifth Brother if he got angry. And trying to make his father-in-law happy? Bullshit! Feng Jinyuan would be grateful if he didn't cause trouble for the Feng family.
Xuan Tianyan sighed helplessly, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the gate of the mansion. After meeting Feng Jinyuan, the two exchanged a few pleasantries. It seemed that Feng Jinyuan wanted to personally lead Xuan Tianyan into the mansion, but was rejected by the latter. Then Xuan Tianyan pointed in this direction, and Feng Jinyuan's eyes passed over.
The Fifth Prince was still entering the palace, and Xuan Tianming also pulled his wife out of the palace carriage. Feng Jinyuan wanted to come over to pay his respects, but he couldn't squeeze past the officials who rushed forward together.
When the high and low officials, including the right prime minister, saw Xuan Tianming, they all bowed and kept saying, "Congratulations!"
Xuan Tianming shrugged and smiled, then raised his voice and said, "Today is a great day for the Feng family. You don't need to greet me. Go and congratulate Mr. Feng..."
Feng Jinyuan felt that Mr. Feng's words were quite ironic, but then everyone stood up again and bowed to him again. Not only did they say congratulations, they also had smiles on their faces, and some even started to call him a brother again.
Feng Jinyuan's vain heart began to stir again, as if the feeling of being the prime minister had returned, even better than before. He returned the gifts one by one, enjoying this vanity, while at the same time thinking in his heart why Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng held this wedding banquet for him?
Soon, another imperial carriage came slowly. This time, the person who got out was the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua. Following closely behind Xuan Tianhua came the imperial carriage of Princess Wuyang Xuan Tiange, and then the General Pingnan's Mansion. One by one, everyone who was supposed to come arrived. The Bai family's carriage also arrived with Bai Furong. The court session had never been so lively.
Feng Jinyuan knelt down to greet him, and before he could stand up, he heard the "crackling" sound of firecrackers. The smoke from the exploding fireworks filled his nose, and Feng Jinyuan smelled a conspiracy.
Feng Yuheng also nodded and greeted the visitors. Xuan Tiange took her arm and whispered in her ear, "Ah Heng, the Feng family has a son. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly and whispered to her: "Actually, I don't know why. It was your ninth brother's idea. He said there will be something interesting. Let's wait and see!" As she spoke, she nodded at Xuan Tianhua. Xuan Tianhua also smiled faintly and said nothing. He followed Xuan Tianming into the mansion.
Feng Yuheng followed Xuan Tiange and other sisters into the mansion. As soon as she entered, she saw Xiangrong coming towards her, with a puzzled look on her face, as if she wanted to ask something. Feng Yuheng was a little confused, because this wedding banquet was held under the guise of her and Xuan Tianming, but she still didn't know what Xuan Tianming was talking about.
For the entire afternoon, the Feng family used the gift money they had just received to hire several cooks. It was said that they even booked the entire kitchen of a tavern. Finally, by the evening, they had gathered ten tables for the banquet.
Feng Yuheng watched the guests take their seats, and then looked at all the guests. Suddenly, he remembered that he had said last night that he wanted to let everyone know that Feng Jinyuan was cuckolded. If these people were all here, if something went wrong, it would really be known to everyone, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xuan Tiange beside him started to make noises, "Mr. Feng, we are all here to congratulate the Feng family on the birth of their new baby. Although the child is still a little young, it would be okay for the nanny to bring the baby out for a face-to-face meeting, right?"
As soon as she said this, everyone followed suit, clamoring to see the child.
Xuan Tianming smiled as he looked at Feng Yuheng. She knew that this must be a show he had deliberately arranged, but even if he wanted to let these people see the child, she was afraid that his Taoism was not enough!
She was still thinking, the good show Xuan Tianming mentioned must be more than just this, what else could it be?
At this time, Bai Furong tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Ah Heng, why does your fourth sister have such an expression?"
Feng Yuheng looked in the direction of Bai Furong's finger, and sure enough, he saw Fendai looking anxious for some reason, with a hint of panic, and constantly telling the maid next to her something. After receiving the instructions, the maid ran to the Fifth Prince's side, and after whispering a few words, Xuan Tianyan stood up and walked towards her. The two of them got together and said something, and then Xuan Tianyan shook his head, as if trying to persuade her.
Bai Furong pulled a few sisters to watch the fun and said, "Guess what the fourth young lady of the Feng family is saying to the fifth prince?"
Feng Tianyu snorted coldly and said with a look of disdain: "I hope she won't be so stupid as to dance the Snow Plum Dance again."
Ren Xifeng laughed at her: "Where can she get snow in this early autumn season?"
Xuan Tiange smiled and sighed, "Fifth brother is indeed obsessed with that concubine, but this Fourth Miss Feng is also very cunning, and she can make Fifth brother do this for her. I heard that Fifth brother also paid a lot of money for today's banquet, otherwise the money collected by the Feng family would not be enough."
The few of them were talking animatedly when Xiang Rong, who had left earlier, hurried back and leaned over to whisper something to Feng Yuheng. Then, Feng Yuheng burst out laughing and said, "It turns out that what Xuan Tianming said about watching a good show is actually a real good show!"
