As soon as she said this, she was grabbed from the pillow by someone with great force. Someone put his arm around her neck and asked her rudely, "Are you treating me like a maid?"
She shuddered and came to her senses, but what she said was even more infuriating: "I can still tell the difference between men and women, I just treated you as a eunuch."
Someone was speechless and tightened his arms around her neck. He had to teach this damn girl a lesson.
Feng Yuheng was inevitably strangled by him, and struggled to escape, frowning at him: "Isn't it just to order you around, you still want to strangle me to death? I'm thirsty, isn't it?"
"You deserve it if you're thirsty." Having said that, Xuan Tianming still stood up and poured her a bowl of tea with great helplessness, "I prepared it for you early in the morning. It's a sobering tea. Drink it!" Seeing that she took it and drank it with her head tilted back, and even choked and coughed a few times, he couldn't help but scold her again, "You deserve it!"
Feng Yuheng was too lazy to argue with him, so he handed the tea bowl back and nestled back into the couch, holding his head and humming, "My head hurts, I feel dizzy, Xuan Tianming, I must not be sober yet, please let me sleep a little longer!"
Xuan Tianming glared at her: "If you want to be nice, then go to sleep. Anyway, I'm telling you, this is Prince Chun's Mansion, it's noon now, and the servants outside are all laughing at you."
She shuddered, but the point of her tangle was not that she stayed in bed, but - "How dare the servants of Prince Chun's Mansion laugh at me? Does Seventh Brother usually take care of things? Why should the master be laughed at by the servants when she is sleeping? Tell me who are laughing at me, and then let Seventh Brother kick them all out of the mansion! They are really rebellious."
Xuan Tianming smiled bitterly. This daughter-in-law is just so stubborn!
The little girl held her head and began to worry again, "I used to be able to drink a lot! How come I got drunk last night?"
"Because the wine you drank was different!" He explained helplessly, "The wine last night was not ordinary wine, it was aged for more than a hundred years, it was pure, it would be strange if we didn't get drunk. We didn't dare to drink more, but you, you drank it down like water, one cup after another, and we couldn't stop you."
Feng Yuheng then remembered what happened last night, still mumbling to himself: "I should have taken a hangover pill before drinking." Then he slowly got up from the bed, got on the ground to put on his shoes, but he still had no energy. "Where's Seventh Brother? Did you guys get up late?"
Xuan Tianming shook his head, "We are not like you. Seventh Brother has gone to the palace."
"Oh. What about you? You don't have to go to the palace?"
"I have returned from the palace."
Well! Someone was frustrated. It turned out that she could do so many things while she was sleeping. "I'll go into the space to wash up, so I won't bother the servants of Prince Chun's Mansion." She said to Xuan Tianming, "By the way, take a sobering pill to sober up. You stay outside and watch the door for me." After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.
Xuan Tianming thought of the conversation he had with Xuan Tianhua last night. He had long suspected that the Persian master that Feng Yuheng had been mentioning was simply a fabrication used to ward off evil. However, if someone used this to cause trouble one day, he would have to think of a response strategy in advance.
Soon, a beautiful girl appeared out of nowhere, no longer as weak and confused as before, and dressed up like a real person. He was in a good mood, and pulled her to say, "Let's go shopping. You always complained that I didn't take you shopping to spend money. Today we have nothing to do, so let's go shopping."
Feng Yuheng actually didn't have much interest in shopping, and she didn't like buying things very much, but she was quite enthusiastic about going shopping with Xuan Tianming. She asked him, "Did you bring money?"
The other person shook his head, "I didn't bring it. But I can get it from Brother Seven and return it later."
So the two of them happily went out shopping.
At noon, the first thing to explain was lunch. If they didn't eat at Prince Chun's Mansion, they could only eat on the street. Xuan Tianming was a rather arrogant person, so he suggested going to Xianya Tower, but Feng Yuheng didn't do it. He just picked a roadside stall and solved the problem of food and clothing.
This afternoon, the two of them wandered around half of the capital like a couple, and bought a lot of things, but most of them were food. In Feng Yuheng's words, "The best jewelry comes from Bai Qiaojiang, and the best gold and jade come from the imperial palace. If I want it, I can get it naturally. What good can I buy on the street? What's more, my family also runs a jewelry store. Do I have to go to my own house to buy things?"
Xuan Tianming had no objection to this. Just like Feng Yuheng said, the best things in the world were in the palace, or in his palace. As long as she wanted something, she could have anything. This girl was no longer the second daughter of the Feng family. She had made great achievements. She didn't need him to speak for her if she wanted something in the palace. She would get it on her own. The old man treated this girl better than him.
But he did remember something, so he quickly pulled the person aside and said, "I will send someone to your house to measure your size and make you a new set of clothes after you return home. In a few days it will be the moonlit night, and there will be a palace banquet."
Feng Yuheng hadn't attended a palace banquet for a long time. Since they went to war in Qianzhou, the palace hadn't held any proper palace banquets. It was a bit fresh to hear that there was a palace banquet again. She couldn't help but think of that Yue Xi, when Feng Chenyu was still there and she won the phoenix-headed golden hairpin from Bu Nishang. In the blink of an eye, many years had passed, but the people back then were no longer there.
"When they were here, I was always scheming against each other, and I felt annoyed. Now that they are gone, I feel that they were also lives with distinct personalities." She couldn't help but sigh, "If the Feng family didn't have Shen Shi, if Feng Chenyu didn't make trouble, and Feng Zihao didn't do it, maybe the Feng Mansion would still be the Feng Mansion, and Feng Jinyuan wouldn't have ended up like this."
Xuan Tianming shrugged and smiled, reminding him: "Have you forgotten that all this was caused by Feng Jinyuan himself? Whether it was Shen or Feng Chenyu, it was just a little trick of the women in the mansion. To be frank, it was harmless. In the end, it was Feng Jinyuan who couldn't control himself and deviated from the path he wanted to take. He can't blame others."
"Yes!" Feng Yuheng nodded, and then thought of the incident with King Lian, and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Even now he is not honest, guess what? He has been thinking about Feng Zhaolian these days. He doesn't care about men or women, and he has the nerve to pester her."
Her words amused Xuan Tianming. "As for not distinguishing between men and women, your family really has this trait! I don't know who was so obsessed with treating her as a beauty."
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead, "Isn't that a technical error on my part? But Feng Zhaolian is the same way. He has to live near Feng Mansion because he can live anywhere else. He really just wants to watch the fun."
The two of them walked while talking, and when they looked up again, they actually walked to the door of the jewelry store she opened in Beijing. Feng Yuheng looked up, but saw that the three big characters "Phoenix Pavilion" written on the original plaque had been changed to the current "Nirvana Pavilion". She was a little dissatisfied, "Isn't this still Phoenix? Qingyu is really worry-free, just changed it casually."
Xuan Tianming's observations were different from hers. He looked at the customers coming in and out and said, "It seems that the Moonlit Palace Banquet has brought a lot of business to your shop. I see that most of the ladies coming in and out are officials who have participated in the palace banquet. I guess you have a good income this month."
Feng Yuheng said to him slyly, "I'm telling you, I don't care about the income from the shop now. Apart from the wages paid to the shop assistants, the rest will be directly paid to Baicaotang for their expenses."
Xuan Tianming was puzzled, "Baicaotang is losing money? So much so that you have to use other shops to subsidize it?"
She shook her head. "It's not a loss, but I've already ordered to open more clinics, not just in the capital, but also in other states. This means the initial investment is a considerable expense. The profits from just a few shops are not enough, and I have to subsidize them. So, it's slow to make money from legitimate business."
He heard the door and said, "What, do you want to do something improper?"
Someone laughed slyly, "Just like those shameless foreign countries, they can always get a lot of gold!"
He was speechless. The dead girl seemed to be addicted to nagging people.
At this time, two young ladies from official families came out together. One of them covered her mouth and nose and said unhappily, "I looked carefully and it was the young lady in the pink dress just now. I don't know what kind of rouge she put on. It was so choking."
A companion beside him also said: "It's not only choking, I can also smell a faint stench coming out, it's really disgusting."
The two walked away while talking. Soon, many customers hurried out. Someone shouted angrily, "If you are short of money, just stay at home. Or if you go out without makeup, no one will be willing to look at you. You are wearing a mask anyway, why are you pretending? You are using some low-quality rouge, which makes people's eyes hurt."
Following this shout, many others followed suit, all pointing out that there was a young lady in the Nirvana Pavilion who had put on cheap rouge. The unpleasant smell spread from the first floor to the third floor, making it impossible to enter.
Finally, more and more people came out. Finally, a woman in a pink dress came out with her head lowered. Her face was covered with a veil, so it was not clear. A little maid was accompanying her and was pulling her away quickly.
As people said, the woman did have a strong smell of rouge on her body, which was neither fragrant nor smelly, and was very unpleasant. But Feng Yuheng was different from others. As soon as the smell entered her nose, she figured out the way. She watched the woman walk away nervously, and then said to Xuan Tianming: "She is also a pitiful person."
Xuan Tianming was puzzled, "Why is she pitiful? She doesn't have money to buy good rouge?" He looked up at the Nirvana Pavilion and said, "Would a poor person come here to buy jewelry? Your things are not cheap. The first floor is okay, but the higher you go, the more expensive it is. I just saw her coming from the stairs, so she obviously went upstairs."
Feng Yuheng shook her head. "I didn't mean pitiful like this, but the smell on her body. It's not that she used low-quality rouge. On the contrary, the rouge she used was of top quality and very expensive. I say she is pitiful because she has a hidden illness. Even if she uses a lot of expensive rouge to cover it up, it can't cover up the turbid smell on her body. Instead, it makes it more obvious."
As she spoke, she began to ponder over something, until Xuan Tianming tugged at her sleeves before she continued, "That woman was wearing a mask, so her face couldn't be seen, but why did the maidservant beside her look so familiar?"
