Lu Song didn't dare to try to make friends with the princess, he told the truth: "This old minister is here to apologize to the princess. This old minister's daughter was ignorant and bullied the third lady of the Feng family. This old minister only found out about this afterwards. My daughter Lu Yao has been locked up at home by me. I feel guilty if I don't come to apologize to the princess in person. Please search Pin&Shu.com for the most complete and fastest updates."
Feng Yuheng didn't respond to this question, but just smiled and asked Lu Song: "This princess heard that the marriage between the second lady of the prime minister's mansion and the number one scholar of the Yao family was obtained after you begged your father many times. Is this true?"
Lu Song was startled, and became more cautious in his words: "Indeed, this old minister asked the emperor for this. I am not afraid of being laughed at by the princess. By chance, my daughter and the number one scholar have met a few times. They both have feelings for each other, so this old minister shamelessly asked the emperor for this marriage."
Mrs. Ge also interrupted and said, "Yes, this marriage is said to be an arranged marriage, but in fact it is also the children's own wish. It is a beautiful thing."
She was beaming with joy, thinking that she could get closer to Princess Ji'an through this marriage. Unexpectedly, Feng Yuheng said, "The girl has not yet married, nor has she been engaged, so it is better not to make it private. The emperor, your father, has agreed. If he does not agree, wouldn't it ruin Miss Lu's life?"
Her words were calm, but they frightened the two members of the Lu family and they didn't know what to say next.
At this time, in the courtyard outside the door, Qingyu and a strange maid were walking towards this side. It was getting dark, and a maid walked in front of them with a lantern to light the way for the two of them.
When they reached the door, Qingyu saw that there were guests inside, so she retreated to the door and stayed there for a while. Not long after, Huang Quan came out, whispered to Qingyu for a few times, and then went into the hall to report to Feng Yuheng in a low voice. Feng Yuheng was stunned and said loudly, "Oh, there is such a thing." Then he looked outside the door, "Qingyu, come in, Lord Lu is here, let's see how to solve this matter."
Lu Song shuddered, thinking that something might have happened again. When he turned around, he saw that one of the two people who came in was someone he recognized. He had no impression of the girl's name, but she was indeed a first-class maid serving his second daughter, Lu Yan.
Mrs. Ge could remember the name, and asked in confusion: "Ruyi, why are you here?"
The girl named Ruyi obviously didn't expect that the master and mistress of the Lu family were there, and she fell to her knees with a plop out of fear.
At this time, Qingyu had already stepped forward and saluted Xuan Tiange and Feng Yuheng in turn, then turned around and bowed to Lu Song and Ge: "I am Qingyu, the servant, greets the Prime Minister, Madam." She was neither humble nor arrogant, and her temperament and momentum were countless times stronger than that of the kneeling maid Ruyi.
Feng Yuheng asked her: "Do you take what Huang Quan said just now seriously?"
Qingyu nodded, stood up and opened the wooden box in her hand: "Miss, please look, this is the jewelry that the second young lady of the Lu family specified to be customized a month ago. Our Phoenix Pavilion took over the business and delivered the finished product today. However, the young lady of the Lu family did not come, but sent a maid from the mansion. When the maid of the Phoenix Pavilion handed over the jewelry box, their wrists crossed and the box fell to the ground. Several pieces of jewelry fell out, and two of the jade ones were broken. It's not a big deal, we will compensate for it. Unfortunately, the maid didn't know why she couldn't stand and stepped on the jewelry that fell out. This time, 80% of the finished products were ruined."
Qingyu spoke with pity, staring at the girl with an unhappy look on her face. Feng Yuheng was a little sensitive to the three words "Phoenix Pavilion". The place where the King of Qianzhou was finally buried was Phoenix Pavilion. Such a coincidence made her feel a little uncomfortable. It seems that she will have to change the name of the jewelry store in the future.
Just as Qingyu finished her words, the maid kneeling behind her started to explain: "No, no, it was not me who dropped the box. The box is still in the hands of the maid in Phoenix Pavilion. It was never handed to me. I stepped on it because a servant suddenly came forward and bumped into me. Miss Qingyu, please don't talk nonsense."
She pointed out that Qingyu was slandering her, but Qingyu was amused. "Girl from the Lu family, it's just a box of jewelry. Let alone the Phoenix Pavilion, I can afford it even if I use my own private money. The jewelry that your second young lady ordered was not very expensive. These things added up to less than three hundred taels of silver. It's really shabby to use them as wedding jewelry. I said in the shop that we will compensate for all the damaged ones according to the price, and some will be replaced with more valuable and better ones. We will never charge any extra fees, but you don't want to do it, and you must bring this matter to the princess. Then tell me, how do you want to solve this matter?"
The girl was a little dazed. She had already thought of an excuse when she came here, and she wanted the exact same thing. Now the construction period is definitely too late. This will also give a blow to the Phoenix Pavilion, and indirectly make Princess Ji'an suffer a big loss. But she never expected that the master and the mistress would be here today. I'm afraid the master and the mistress will see through the little tricks of her third young lady at a glance.
She stood there in a daze, not daring to say a word. Lu Song groaned, and was about to scold him when he heard Feng Yuheng say, "The girl is right. It is indeed the Phoenix Pavilion that did something wrong. No matter how much the item is worth, it is always the style that Miss Lu Yao liked. I am afraid that this girl asked for us to restore the jewelry."
The girl nodded in a daze, and Feng Yuheng said, "Then it's as you wish. However, this kind of work is too difficult and the construction period is short, so my Fenghuang Pavilion can't do it. Let's put it this way, since we are the ones who made the mistake first, Miss Lu Yao will marry into the Yao family in the future and will also be my cousin's wife. Then this princess will go to the palace tomorrow for this matter, and personally ask my father to invite Bai Qiaojiang, who has been making jewelry for the concubines in the palace, to come out, and let him personally modify this batch of wedding jewelry for my future cousin's wife. Lord Lu, do you think this arrangement is good?"
Lu Song was a little confused. Feng Yuheng suddenly changed his attitude from the previous fierceness and recognized her again. He always felt that there was something going on here, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't guess it. Seeing that the other party asked him, he quickly stood up and said, "The princess is so concerned about me. I thank the princess for her kindness on behalf of my daughter."
Mrs. Ge was also excited. After all, Bai Qiaojiang was so famous that it was not easy for the concubines in the palace to have a piece of jewelry made by him personally. But Princess Ji'an now asked Bai Qiaojiang to modify the whole box of jewelry. How much virtue did Lu Yao accumulate in her previous life? If she got married wearing jewelry made by Bai Qiaojiang himself, even her family members would be honored.
Seeing that the Lu family agreed, Feng Yuheng smiled and nodded, "In that case, then this matter is settled." She exchanged glances with Xuan Tiange, and Xuan Tiange immediately understood what she was thinking.
After seeing off Lu Song and his wife, Qingyu felt very unbalanced and said to Feng Yuheng, "Miss, it's obvious that their family did this on purpose."
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "It's okay. It's better to do it on purpose. Don't take it to heart. Just do what you have to do. I think the Lu family won't dare to cause trouble in our shop again in the future. Just be more careful in your daily life."
Qingyu didn't say anything else. Xuan Tiange was about to leave, so she followed Feng Yuheng and sent Xuan Tiange out of the palace. The two agreed that once this matter was resolved, Feng Yuheng would visit Prince Xuan's palace. Xuan Tiange left with satisfaction.
When I turned around again, it was An and Xiangrong who came out.
As soon as Xiangrong saw Feng Yuheng, she immediately ran forward and pulled her sleeves and refused to let go. Feng Yuheng laughed at her: "You are one year older this year, and you are already a big girl. Why are you still so clingy to your sister? Zirui has achieved more than you."
Xiangrong stamped her feet shyly and asked Feng Yuheng, "Second sister, can I still live here in the future?"
She said, "Of course." But looking at An, she said, "You are a grown-up girl now. The days you can spend with your mother at home are getting fewer and fewer. You should spend more time with Aunt An."
An raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and decided not to mention living here again.
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "There are many people in the mansion these days. Once my sister has arranged everything for them, I will go and pick you up to stay. It's getting late, go back quickly, I'll let the palace carriage take you."
She deliberately let An and Xiangrong ride back in her imperial carriage. This would serve as a deterrent to the Feng family. She couldn't allow the mother and daughter to be bullied over there any longer.
Finally, she let out a sigh of relief after sending everyone away. However, she still had to instruct Qingyu: "There is a prince from Qianzhou who came back with me. Tomorrow, you take him out for a walk and help him find a house. Let him buy it with his own money. It's not good for him to live in the princess's mansion forever."
Huang Quan laughed when he heard this, "If the Lotus King knew that the young lady was in a hurry to drive him out, he would definitely cry."
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly. She had no time to care about Feng at the moment. The reason why she was so attentive to the jewelry store was that she wanted to take this opportunity to get Bai Qiaojiang out of the palace. Regardless of whether he would be taken back in the future, at least some things could be asked clearly. If there was really a potential danger in the palace of Dashun, this matter would be really fatal.
The night in early autumn is always exceptionally bright. In the workshop of the imperial palace, a pair of gold earrings made by Bai Qiaojian had just been washed and were considered finished products. His colleagues couldn't help but praise him: "Bai Qiaojian's craftsmanship is really beyond our reach even if we pursue him for a hundred years. This small pendant can be carved with such a delicate pattern. Not only that, after the gold ornaments are washed, how come they are so much more colorful than the ones we made?"
Craftsman Bai smiled but said nothing. Polishing gold jewelry was his best skill. He dared to guarantee that no one in the world could polish it brighter and more delicately than he could.
He casually handed the finished earrings to the disciple beside him, stood up, walked out of the workshop with his hands behind his back and came to the yard.
It has been nearly a year since he entered the palace, which is longer than any other time. Strangely, every time he wanted to leave the palace, a new task would be assigned. It has been delayed until now, and I don’t know how Furong is doing. He hasn’t come to the palace to see her for so long, which is really worrying.
At the same time, in the harem, a lame eunuch whispered a few words to a guard, with a look of surprise in his eyes. For mobile phones, please visit:
