No one knew whether it was out of respect for the Yuexi Palace Banquet or Xuan Tianyi suddenly had a change of heart, but this gorgeous dress had not been tampered with. Even the circle of small flowers embroidered on the waistband by himself, although not delicate, the stitches were considered attentive. If no one looked closely, it would not be a big deal.
Xiangrong took a look at the dress, then turned back to the one on the table, sighed inwardly, and said to the girl, "Forget it, let's take this one!"
The little girl left the jewelry contentedly and said goodbye. Shancha helped her fold her clothes again and opened the box of jewelry. It turned out to be a set of pink jade headpieces, which looked playful and cute, yet elegant, and very suitable for Xiangrong's age. "It's really beautiful." The little girl couldn't help but sighed: "The Fourth Prince obviously put a lot of thought into it, and Miss should appreciate it."
Xiangrong didn't care whether she appreciated it or not. She just picked up the clothes she had worn before and put them away carefully. She didn't even glance at the gift from Xuan Tianyi.
Shan Cha wanted to persuade her, but at this moment, she heard Fendai's voice coming from the yard, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Is the third sister in there?"
Xiangrong frowned slightly, she didn't like dealing with fans and had been trying to avoid them for the past year, but she had no choice but to face them. She wondered what tricks she was going to play this time.
"Miss." Shan Cha also said unhappily, "How about I go and tell you that you are asleep and don't want to see any guests?"
"No need." Xiangrong sat back in the chair. "If I go back once today, she will come back a second time tomorrow. She is determined to make trouble for me, and I can't avoid it no matter what. Forget it, let her in."
Just as she finished speaking, before Shancha could go out to invite someone, she heard the door being pushed open with a bang. Feng Fendai rushed in despite being stopped by the servants in the courtyard, and scolded them rudely, "You really don't know the seriousness of the matter. Is there any place in Feng Mansion that I can't go to? You all eat and live in this house, and you dare to stop me?"
The servants were so frightened by her that they dared not say a word. They looked at Xiangrong tremblingly. Only after Xiangrong waved his hand did they retreat with a sense of relief.
Shancha stood still, looking at Fendai warily. Fendai glared at her with sidelong eyes: "What? Didn't you see that the distinguished guests had arrived? Why don't you serve tea?"
Xiang Rong finally couldn't listen any more and took over the conversation: "The government doesn't allocate a penny to our courtyard every month, and I haven't eaten a single bite of food from you, Fourth Sister. We live in poverty and there is no tea. If Fourth Sister is thirsty, Shancha, pour me a pot of plain water."
"Yes, Third Miss." Shancha walked out happily.
Feng Fendai gritted her teeth and said, "Feng Xiangrong, don't be too proud. Even if you didn't eat my food, the mansion you live in was given to you by my fiancé. You'd better think before you speak. Think about whether you are qualified! Don't follow Feng Yuheng all day long. You haven't learned anything else, but you have become very good at talking."
Xiang Rong felt even more annoyed, and said very impolitely: "If I remember correctly, this mansion was the betrothal gift from the Fifth Prince for the Feng Mansion. The real estate deeds had already been transferred to my father's name. How can you still say it's yours?" She threw out a question, and before Fendai could refute it, she continued: "Also, Fourth Sister, you should be thankful that I only learned the basics from Second Sister. Otherwise, you would not be able to escape unscathed if you repeatedly provoked me. Or maybe Fourth Sister thinks that I really should learn more, then I will learn it. As for you, you should think carefully about whether you can bear the retribution if you are still so domineering."
After hearing these words, Feng Zhaolian clapped her hands and cheered, saying, "This is Ah Heng's sister. She really has the demeanor of your sister."
Xiangrong had seen her following Fendai a long time ago, and she really couldn't imagine how this Prince Qianzhoulian would get together with Fendai. She looked at him in confusion, and saw him walking towards her, holding her hand warmly and saying, "Xiangrong, I came here specially to see you."
After hearing this, Fendai couldn't hold back her anger anymore and called out anxiously, "Sister Lian."
Feng Zhaolian glanced at her casually, and then said, "Thank you, Fourth Miss, for bringing me here. I have seen the intrigues in the mansion. I used to think that this only happened in the palace, but I didn't expect that such a small Feng Mansion is not inferior to the imperial palace."
He seemed casual, but at that glance, Fan Dai didn't seem to mind. She actually felt that there was a natural majesty in the eyes of Miss Lian, which made people unable to resist and had to obey. So she nodded subconsciously, and even her feet began to move slightly.
Fendai realized that something was wrong. How could Feng Zhaolian still look like a gossip girl? She even lost some of her feminine tenderness. All that was left was an irresistible aura and the light in her eyes that seemed to convey the message of death.
Fendai suddenly realized that she had been deceived. Rather than saying that she had designed to lure this Miss Lian into the mansion, it would be better to say that the other party had used her power to sneak into the mansion to understand the situation in Feng Mansion. As for the reason, Fendai certainly didn't know. The reason why Feng Zhaolian entered Feng Mansion and bought the house next to Feng Mansion was that he actually had no other ideas. He just wanted to see what kind of family could make Feng Yuheng so angry. He was a prince of a fallen country. Qian Zhou was gone. The only person in the capital who had some relationship with him was Feng Yuheng. To put it bluntly, Fendai was idle and acted smartly, and ran into the edge of the knife.
Under such pressure, Fen Dai had to leave Xiang Rong's room in shock and confusion. No matter how bad Feng Zhaolian was, he was still a prince of a country. He still had the aura that he should have, it just depended on whether he was willing to show it.
In the room, Feng Zhaolian was already pestering Xiangrong to tell him more about Xuan Tianhua, while Fen Dai was also preparing to go to Prince Li's mansion to ask who this Feng Zhaolian was.
Today, Feng Zhaolian was pestering Xiangrong, but the Princess's Mansion welcomed distinguished guests including Xuan Tiange, Ren Xifeng and Feng Tianyu.
Bai Furong has been able to stay awake for more than three hours every day recently. When Feng Yuheng heard that they were coming, he quickly sent someone to notify them to come to the house when Bai Furong was awake, so that the sisters could have a good reunion.
It can be said to be a good gathering, as they all wiped tears in front of Bai Furong, lamenting her rough fate. Xuan Tiange was also grateful that she made the right choice between Qian Zhou and Dashun, and did not betray Dashun or Ah Heng. It was because of this that she saved herself.
Bai Furong had thought this through clearly, and immediately told Xuan Tiange: "Even if my father was not secretly controlled by Qianzhou's people, I would not choose Qianzhou. On one side is my father's country, and on the other side is my mother's clan. On one side, she gave me life and raised me with great kindness, and on the other side, she cruelly abandoned me for the sake of the royal family's dispute. Ever since I knew about my life experience, I have never looked down on that mother in my eyes and heart. She... is not worthy."
Bai Furong was still very weak, and her words were weak, and she would cough for a while after saying a few words. Feng Yuheng comforted everyone: "She is recovering very quickly. She will be able to live a normal life by the New Year after a few more months of care. Even if her appearance cannot be fully restored, it can be restored to more than 80%."
Bai Furong was grateful, but she also knew that this was the path she had chosen for herself on the edge of the cliff. If she had taken a wrong step, the situation would not be like this today. Not only would she die, her father would also die, and these sisters would also be let down.
They talked for a while, during which Ren Xifeng mentioned that some people had come to the general's mansion to propose marriage, and there were all kinds of people. Feng Tianyu also said that he had the same fate, and his family already had someone they liked, so maybe they would decide soon.
Feng Yuheng sighed as she listened. In ancient times, women got married too early, so early that they themselves didn't know what kind of people they should love and who they shouldn't love, and they were married at the age of 15. But think about it again, even if they knew what kind of people they should love, what would they do? In ancient times, there was no freedom in marriage, and everything was based on the wishes of the family. Even the more famous the daughters were, the more helpless they were.
Bai Furong's body couldn't sit for too long, so the few of them chatted for a while and then left, agreeing to come and see her after the moonlit night.
Before leaving, Feng Yuheng personally saw them off. After sending Ren Xifeng and Feng Tianyu to the carriages respectively, Xuan Tiange was in no hurry to leave. He pulled her aside and started chatting again: "Ah Heng, did you know that Madam Yao went to the palace yesterday?"
Feng Yuheng was stunned. "Royal Palace? Which palace?"
Xuan Tiange sighed, "Wenxuan Palace."
She was not surprised at all, and just said, "I went to see Aunt Lan."
But Xuan Tiange shook his head and told her: "Looking at my mother is just a cover. The real purpose is to ask my mother for an invitation to the Yuexi Palace Banquet."
Feng Yuheng was a little confused now, "Why does she want an invitation? Is she going to enter the palace? She could just ask me for it, I..." She couldn't finish her words halfway through, how could Yao come to her to ask for it? Their relationship had come to this point, and they didn't get along well, so what else was there to say.
Seeing Feng Yuheng's sad face, Xuan Tiange stamped his feet and said, "Ah Heng, there is something you must be mentally prepared for. Madam Yao's invitation was not for herself, but for her daughter, Fu Ya, who looks exactly like you! My mother said she would help her this time, and she also wanted to see whether Fu Ya had hidden thoughts or it was Madam Yao's wishful thinking. My mother said that if Fu Ya had ill intentions, she would not be merciful, and would get rid of that girl even if she had to risk being hated by Madam Yao for the rest of her life."
Feng Yuheng was startled, and a faint pain came from her heart, but she suppressed it.
Yao treated Fu Ya as her, and was immersed in her own world. Now she even asked for an invitation for Fu Ya to enter the palace. She didn't want to think about what conspiracy this was. Yao didn't have the ability to plot. She just felt very painful in her heart.
Xuan Tiange also knew what she was thinking, so he didn't say any more and only told her: "Just have an idea in your mind. Fortunately, we will be there on Moon Festival, so we can take care of anything. I have been feeling uneasy recently, and I always feel that something might go wrong at the Moon Festival Palace Banquet." After she finished speaking, she didn't stay any longer and quickly got on the palace carriage.
After watching Xuan Tiange's carriage leave, Feng Yuheng was about to return home. Her eyes accidentally swept past the Yao Mansion, and she saw her aunt Xu looking at her eagerly at the gate of the Yao Mansion...
