Feng Yuheng felt a headache coming on. [This site has changed its domain name..first letter, previously registered accounts can still be used] What the hell is the Seventh Prince?
Looking at the girl in front of her, she organized some ancient knowledge in her mind. Since she was in the palace, she should be a palace maid, right? No wonder the rules were much higher than those of the servants in Feng Mansion.
The little maid seemed to understand what Feng Yuheng was thinking. She still had that faint professional smile on her face and popularized royal knowledge to her: "The Seventh Prince's biological mother was Concubine Zhao, but unfortunately she died of hemorrhage when giving birth to the prince. Concubine Yun took the Seventh Prince to Yuehan Palace to raise him, and he didn't set up his own residence until he came of age."
She nodded and understood. In this case, the Seventh Prince and Xuan Tianming were both like Concubine Yun’s children, with one giving birth and the other raising them.
"When was I sent to the palace?" She stood up and walked to the window, opened it and looked outside. It was getting dark. "Am I the only one who came to the palace?" She was thinking about Huang Quan, and also wondering if Xuan Tianming knew that she was in the palace, so she asked anxiously, "Where is His Royal Highness?"
The young palace maid patiently explained to her, "The young lady entered the palace at noon, and His Highness the Seventh Prince also brought back Miss Huang Quan and a coachman. His Highness the Prince of Yu also came to see the young lady, and left a message for me to tell you when the young lady wakes up. He will take care of the things outside, so please rest assured, young lady."
Feng Yuheng was relieved. Since Xuan Tianming said he would handle it, he would definitely handle it properly. She wouldn't have to face repeated interrogations when she returned to the mansion. The ancient people's concept was really terrible. If it were in the 21st century, playing until the middle of the night before going home would not be a big deal.
As she was speaking, another young palace maid walked in lightly, holding a pair of shoes in her hands. She bowed to her, put down the shoes, and said, "Miss, please change your shoes and move to the moon-viewing platform. Concubine Yun invites you," and then withdrew.
"Young lady, try it on and see if it fits your feet." The little maid helped Feng Yuheng put on her shoes. "The left foot is newly made. When His Highness the Seventh Prince gave the order, he specifically said not to use too new fabrics, so that it wouldn't look too abrupt."
Feng Yuheng secretly thought that the Seventh Prince was really attentive. The newly made shoes fit perfectly. If you didn't take them in front of you and look carefully, you really couldn't tell whether they were real or fake. It was rare that he could put in so much effort in just one afternoon.
"It fits perfectly." She stood up and took the washed and dried clothes. "Please prepare some water for me to wash up. After I change, we will go to see Concubine Yun. Oh, call Huang Quan."
The young palace maid nodded, bowed and left.
Not long after, Huang Quan ran in, and seeing Feng Yuheng putting on clothes, he hurried over to help.
"My lady, you really scared me to death." Huang Quan is still frightened. "Why did you jump into the river if you can't swim?"
Feng Yuheng rolled his eyes, "If you don't jump into the river, you're going to be shot to death by a poison arrow?" Speaking of poison arrows, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes again.
Who wanted to kill her?
"Oh, right." She asked Huang Quan in a low voice, "What's going on with the Seventh Prince? Why did he save us?"
Huang Quan patted his chest and said, "What a coincidence. The Seventh Prince went to another province several months ago and just returned to Beijing today. He happened to take the water route. When we fled to the river, we didn't notice that there was a boat on the river. It's all thanks to meeting the Seventh Prince, otherwise today... I'm afraid we would be doomed." As Huang Quan spoke, he lowered his head and his voice became softer and softer.
She was sent by the master to protect Feng Yuheng, but Feng Yuheng was forced to jump into the river right under her nose. If the master investigates this matter, she will be sentenced to death.
Feng Yuheng knew what she was thinking, patted her shoulder gently, and said: "It's okay, I don't blame you, I will go and talk to His Highness, don't take it to heart."
Huang Quan's voice was a little choked up, and he whispered, "Thank you, Miss."
After Feng Yuheng had packed up, she followed the young palace maid and took Huang Quan to the Moon Viewing Platform to meet Concubine Yun.
Just as I walked out of the bedroom door, I heard the sound of a piano that was as elegant as the sound of nature, melodious, clear, and free.
Although Feng Yuheng didn't know much about music theory, he could still tell what was good and what was bad. The pleasant sound of the piano touched people's hearts. If he put in a little more effort, he could make the people who listened to the piano intoxicated.
Huang Quan was obviously familiar with this kind of piano music, and he said faintly, "It's His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
She was startled for a moment, and went in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, under the old locust tree in the courtyard, there was a man sitting cross-legged playing the piano. He was wearing a green shirt and had black hair, which was not tied up. However, he did not look careless at all, but rather elegant and refined.
As if he sensed someone was watching him, the man gradually slowed down his singing and calmly ended the piece of music. He then put the zither aside, stood up, and smiled faintly at Feng Yuheng.
The face in the picture is like the lotus flowers blooming on the floor of the bedroom, which soothes the mind and calms the soul.
Feng Yuheng and Huang Quan knelt down and saluted: "Meet His Highness the Seventh Prince, thank you for your rescue."
The Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua, the seventh son of Emperor Tianwu, was also raised by Concubine Yun, but he developed a completely opposite personality from the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming.
Xuan Tianming is willful, arrogant and isolated, while Xuan Tianhua is calm, elegant, kind and amiable.
The two were not blood brothers but were better than blood brothers. Xuan Tianhua's love and indulgence for Xuan Tianming were no less than that of their father and mother.
"It's just a small favor, no need to be polite." Xuan Tianhua spoke leisurely, his voice as gentle as the breeze. "It's rare that your ninth brother has thought about marrying a concubine. I'm happy for you."
This Xuan Tianhua was named Prince Chun by Emperor Tianwu many years ago, but he seldom regards himself as a king and is still used to calling himself "I".
"Let's go, mother is still waiting, I will go with you." He said, then turned around and walked in front. Feng Yuheng followed with Wang Chuan, only to feel that the elegant and refined figure in front of them was really out of place in this palace.
The Moon Viewing Platform is the highest point in the entire palace. It is said that it was specially built by Emperor Tianwu to welcome Concubine Yun to the palace. It was built in Yuehan Palace for Concubine Yun to enjoy the moon.
When Feng Yuheng and his party arrived, Concubine Yun was sitting on the platform eating fruit. She was obviously a woman of thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, but she was so well-maintained that even women in their twenties would feel inferior to her. Feng Yuheng couldn't help but sigh at the ancient beauty-preserving methods. It seemed that not every skill was getting better and better.
Xuan Tianhua took the lead and took a step forward, kneeling on one knee in front of Concubine Yun, and said respectfully but not distantly: "Your son pays his respects to you, mother."
Feng Yuheng quickly knelt down with Huang Quan, and then said: "I, the commoner Feng Yuheng, pay my respects to Her Majesty Yun Fei. May Your Majesty be well and safe."
She glanced to the side and saw Shen kneeling next to a pillar in the hall, her back straight but her body trembling.
"Get up. The ground is cold. Don't kneel there all the time." Yun Fei's voice was crisp and clear, totally different from her current appearance as she was lazily leaning on the moon-viewing platform eating fruit.
Xuan Tianhua stood up first, followed by Feng Yuheng. Huang Quan also stood up and stepped back to the side.
Concubine Yun walked down from the high platform, her gorgeous palace dress with a long skirt trailing behind her, covering the steps, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Feng Yuheng thought that the emperor must be very fond of this concubine. Even though she was used to seeing stunning beauties, she couldn't help but marvel at the fact that there are always people better than you.
"Mother, come and sit over here." Xuan Tianhua naturally stepped forward to replace the palace maid, helped Concubine Yun to sit on a soft chair beside her, and then placed the fruit plate in the maid's hand on the glass table in front of her.
Concubine Yun stretched out her hand, pinched a peeled grape and put it into her mouth. Then she spoke again, but she asked Xuan Tianhua: "I asked you to teach my future daughter-in-law to play the piano. How is your teaching going?"
When Feng Yuheng heard this, she knew what was going on, and quickly stepped forward to salute and reply, "It's my fault that I'm stupid. I've been studying since noon, but I haven't learned to be half as good as the Seventh Prince." Concubine Yun had found an excuse for her disappearance this afternoon, so how could she not know what was good for her.
Xuan Tianhua still smiled faintly and said, "It's not that my sister-in-law is stupid, it's that my piano playing is too casual and has no rules."
Feng Yuheng was speechless. Was this the Xuan family's ancestral rule? They all recognized each other like this? Over there, they called her the princess, but here, they called her the future daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, and they didn't treat her as an outsider at all!
Concubine Yun looked at Feng Yuheng carefully, with no expression on her face, neither cold nor hot, but her words were completely biased towards her side: "Don't call me a commoner girl all the time. Since I have recognized you as my daughter-in-law, you can follow Ming'er and Tianhua and call me mother. Just call me Seventh Brother with Tianhua."
Feng Yuheng quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I dare not." This was a great blessing for the ancient people. She did not deserve it without any merit. Why should others treat her so well?
"What is there to be afraid of?" Concubine Yun's voice was still clear, and she deliberately raised it a little so that everyone in the palace could hear it, including Shen. "After accepting Ming'er's betrothal gift, I will recognize you as my daughter-in-law. I don't care which criminal's granddaughter you are, even if your ancestors were traitors, as long as Ming'er is willing, I will treat you as my own child."
Feng Yuheng was filled with gratitude. She knew that Concubine Yun's statement was meant for Shen. It turned out that what stood behind her was not only Xuan Tianming's Royal Palace, but also his mother who could protect him to this point. With such relatives, he had no regrets in his life.
"The daughter-in-law kowtows to thank my mother for her great kindness." She kowtowed with her forehead touching the ground, with sincerity.
Concubine Yun nodded with satisfaction. Xuan Tianhua personally helped her up. Feng Yuheng said again, "Thank you, Seventh Brother."
Xuan Tianhua just smiled and said nothing.
It was only then that Concubine Yun began to carefully examine Feng Yuheng, from head to toe, and finally to examine her face carefully. After a long while, she said, "Yes, it's the child of the Yao family." She pointed to another chair beside her and said, "Sit down."
Feng Yuheng thanked him and sat down gracefully, neither humble nor arrogant, and was very generous and generous.
Concubine Yun felt a little more satisfied.
"How is your life at home?" Yun Fei asked this suddenly, as if she was chatting about daily life.
She smiled and replied, "Your Highness gave my daughter-in-law the house she named Tongshengxuan, and it is very comfortable to live in."
Yun Fei showed approval in her eyes and asked again: "Are the brothers and sisters still on good terms?"
She then replied: "My disciple Rui Nian is already six years old, very smart and considerate."
Concubine Yun leaned forward and asked, "Are all your family members okay?"
Feng Yuheng looked desolate: "I'm far away in the Desolate State. I haven't seen you for many years."
Concubine Yun stood up suddenly, unable to hide her smile, and looked at Feng Yuheng nodding her head, saying three times in a row: "Good! Good! Good!". ..
