Princess Wenxuan had long known about Yao's changes. She had tried to persuade her at first, but after much persuasion, she found that Yao had no intention of returning to the way she was before. The idea that "her daughter is not the same as before" was already deeply rooted in her mind and no one could remove it.
She once thought that it was the stubborn evil thoughts that Yao had after being poisoned by the Soul-Separating Powder, but later she felt that it was the original thoughts in Yao's heart, but she didn't have the courage and courage to burst out before, and later she burst out when the Soul-Separating Powder had not worn off. Maybe Yao felt that she would feel more comfortable if she spoke out, so after the Soul-Separating Powder had worn off, she still refused to wake up.
Princess Wenxuan actually didn't want to see Yao now, and she was avoiding her. Otherwise, with their sisterly friendship, if Yao moved to another courtyard, she would have often visited her, but now she kept her distance. Unfortunately, she couldn't avoid her in time. Today, Yao came to her house and asked for an invitation to the Moon Palace Banquet, saying it was for her daughter. She immediately thought of the girl who was said to look exactly like Feng Yuheng.
The maid advised her: "Princess, please stop worrying about other people's affairs. The princess will be unhappy when she finds out that you are worrying about others again."
Princess Wenxuan sighed, nodded, and stopped thinking about Yao.
After Feng Fendai used the Seventh Prince as an excuse to get to know Feng Zhaolian, Feng Zhaolian really went to Feng Mansion every day to drink tea and eat snacks with Fendai, and also talked about the Seventh Prince's deeds. Unfortunately, Fendai knew very little about the Seventh Prince. In the past, she could still talk about some things through Xiangrong, but Xiangrong and Xuan Tianhua only had a few interactions. After talking for two or three days, what else could she say? Slowly, the topic cooled down, and Fendai kept exaggerating how extraordinary the Seventh Prince was.
Feng Zhaolian listened with a smile on her face. She thought that the young lady of the Feng family wanted to do such a thing of framing people, but she didn't even do her homework. Her words were far inferior to her second sister's! But she didn't know why she brought herself into the Feng Mansion. Could it be that she was really using her to suppress Feng Xiangrong? Feng Zhaolian thought, it shouldn't be such an idiotic reason, so she would observe for a while.
But speaking of Feng Xiangrong, it's not like he had never seen her before. They had dinner together when Feng Yuheng just came back. But at that time, he had never seen the Seventh Prince, let alone the matter between Feng Xiangrong and the Seventh Prince, so during the whole meal, he didn't even look at her. Now that he thinks about it, he can't even remember what Xiangrong looks like.
"Sister Fendai, can you take me to meet the Third Young Miss?" Feng Zhaolian asked. "After hearing what you said these days, I'm really curious about her."
Fendai nodded, "Of course." Then she asked Dongying, "Is Miss Ri Ri already in the mansion?"
Dong Ying came immediately: "I'm at the mansion! This morning I heard from the maid in the Third Miss's courtyard that in order to prepare for the Moonlit Night Palace Banquet, the Third Miss will not go out from today."
"Humph." Fen Dai said disdainfully: "She is actually qualified to attend the palace banquet. I really don't know whether it is Feng Yuheng who gave her the face, or the opportunity given by the Fourth Prince." After that, she looked at Feng Zhaolian again and said with ulterior motives: "Of course, it is also possible that she secretly went to seduce the Seventh Prince again."
Feng Zhaolian didn't care about that, and urged Fendai to take him to see Xiangrong. Fendai didn't hesitate, and immediately stood up and pulled people out.
It just so happened that Feng Jinyuan was also in the mansion today, and he heard that Miss Lian had come early in the morning, so he was standing in the front yard waiting. It would not be good to rush into his daughter's yard rashly, but this front yard was the only way for Feng Zhaolian to leave the mansion, so he was guarding it, and he didn't believe that he would not be able to see anyone.
Just as he was thinking, he looked up and saw that Fendai was walking towards him with a beautiful woman in red. Feng Jinyuan was a little nervous, his palms were sweating, and a feeling of first love rose in his heart again, making him a little at a loss for a moment.
Fen Dai had also seen Feng Jinyuan here, and couldn't help but curl her lips and secretly thought that it was good. She wanted Feng Jinyuan to see that she was on good terms with Feng Zhaolian, so that this father would stop thinking about currying favor with Feng Yuheng and continue to listen to her. Although Feng Jinyuan had no value here, she was still an unmarried girl, and she would have to marry out of the Feng Mansion in the future. If Feng Jinyuan didn't give her face, her marriage would really be undignified.
While thinking, Feng Jinyuan had already come over here. Feng Zhaolian rolled his eyes, hid behind Fendai in disgust, and said, "Just stand there! Men and women should not touch each other, Master Feng, respect yourself."
Feng Jinyuan stood there awkwardly, rubbing his hands and smiling, "Miss Lian, you're here." He looked so flattering that even Fendai wanted to kick him to death.
Feng Zhaolian was even more rude, "Are you a pug? Why are you drooling at me?"
Feng Jinyuan quickly wiped his mouth, which was indeed a little wet. He was also a little embarrassed, but his eyes were still fixed on Feng Zhaolian. One less look, being able to look at his beloved at such a close distance was a luxury for Feng Jinyuan.
Fendai couldn't stand it any longer, so she glared at Feng Jinyuan and said, "Father, is there something wrong? If not, please get out of the way. We need to talk to our third sister."
"Well?" Feng Jinyuan was stunned, "Why are you looking for her?"
"Girls should talk as girls, why do you, as a father, care about everything?" Feng Zhaolian was so annoyed with Feng Jinyuan that she nudged Fendai with her elbow: "Don't you have any women in your family? Why does your father look like he hasn't seen a woman in hundreds of years?"
Fendai said helplessly: "There is a mistress and a second wife, but unfortunately they have not been home for several months. My father does want to take in another confidante, but I don't know which beauty is willing to enter the Feng Mansion." After saying that, she didn't care that Feng Jinyuan was still blocking the way in front of her, and pulled Feng Zhaolian forward.
Feng Jinyuan was too embarrassed to bump into his own daughter, so he quickly moved aside, and the two of them were able to escape. When Feng Zhaolian turned around again, she deliberately said loudly: "I will be attending the Yuexi Palace Banquet in a few days, Sister Fendai, who from your family will be going?"
The two chatted as they walked, but Feng Jinyuan, who stayed where he was, was tickled by these words. Moonlit Palace Banquet, Miss Lian was going to attend the Moonlit Palace Banquet, which was an occasion he was qualified to attend! However, now he could only sigh in despair in the mansion.
He shook his head helplessly, but thought unwillingly in his heart, is there any way to let him enter the palace again?
In Xiangrong's courtyard, the door was closed. Today, An went to the embroidery shop. She stayed in the room alone and dismissed all the servants. However, she was still worried while holding a piece of clothing in her hand.
That was given to her by the Seventh Prince, and she was also asked to attend the palace banquet. She never wore this dress and kept it. An usually kept a close eye on it and didn't let her look at it. But today, she couldn't help but take out this dress. With just one glance, all the memories came to her mind. She was on a boat, fell into the water, and was rescued. The Seventh Prince stretched out his hand and put a cloak on her with concern. An made her forget everything, but who knew that these things were buried in her heart and she could never forget them.
Xiangrong stood up and measured the dress in front of her body, but it was obviously too short. She smiled bitterly. She grew up fast at this age. The clothes made in spring could not be worn in autumn, not to mention the New Year. She was a little dazed. She was twelve years old. Her aunt said that she was old enough to discuss marriage. Generally, girls from ordinary families would have people come to propose marriage at the age of twelve, so that they could choose carefully. Unfortunately, the Feng family fell into decline, so that these concubines who were not presentable in the first place were even less interested. People avoided the Feng family, so how could they dare to come to the door to ask for marriage?
She had received the emperor's permission to marry freely, and Feng Jinyuan could not have any idea about her. But she had her own way, and she could count the men she knew on one hand, so where could she go to have her own way? An had urged her many times, and also mentioned a few ordinary families to her, always saying that daughters did not seek wealth when they married, but only stability. A big family would have many wives and concubines, and no matter how powerful they were, they could not live in peace and happiness outside a small family.
Xiangrong knew this, but once a person, especially a woman, lives in her heart, it is difficult for her to accept another. Can't she just give in? It's not like she hasn't thought about giving in, but she just can't bear it. Rather than giving in, it's better to stay single and teach the fourth prince to embroider flowers for the rest of his life.
She threw the clothes on the table angrily, not wanting to look at them, but she couldn't help folding them, for fear of damaging them in the slightest.
Why can't she let go? Think about it, in this life, there will never be another person who can enter her heart, right?
There was a knock on the door, and the maid Shancha came in holding a paper bundle, followed by a servant holding a wooden box. When they came to her, Shancha said, "Miss, this is from Prince Ping's mansion, saying it's a gorgeous dress for you to wear when you attend the Moonlit Night Palace Banquet. And this box is the jewelry that His Royal Highness Prince Ping chose for you."
Xiangrong then recognized the person holding the box. Wasn't that the maid from Prince Ping's mansion? She smiled bitterly, "Your Highness is thoughtful, but why should I wear fancy clothes? There are still many clothes in the closet that I haven't worn yet. Just choose something suitable. As for jewelry, I don't need any either. You can take them all back."
The little girl smiled and said, "Miss Third, please have mercy on me and don't let me take it back! You also know the temper of His Highness. He finally had the interest to choose clothes and jewelry for you. If you don't accept them, he won't dare to do anything to you, but I will be in trouble. Good Miss, please accept them!"
This girl knows Xiangrong's temper. After a few words, Xiangrong's heart softened. Then she heard the maid say, "Miss San doesn't know yet? The emperor has issued an order to allow our fourth prince to attend the Moonlit Palace Banquet! His Highness said that you are his master. During the banquet, the emperor will definitely ask him how he is doing. He will definitely pay attention to Miss San. So, Miss San should dress better for this reason! Just think of it as helping our prince to show off his skills." She opened the dress as she spoke, "There are small flowers embroidered by His Highness himself on it."
Xiangrong rubbed his forehead. It would have been fine if she hadn't said that. But why did he have a bad feeling when she heard that there was something embroidered by Xuan Tianyi himself?
