The words "I'm afraid of scaring the princess" almost made Huang Quan, who was following, laugh. He thought, "It's not frightening, it should be amazement!" This princess of Southern Xinjiang is too arrogant. Does she really think that she is the most beautiful in the world? Does she really think that there are no beauties in Dashun? But she didn't expect that as soon as they appeared, they killed her in the blink of an eye.
But Huang Quan forgot that Feng Zhaolian was not from Dashun either. He just followed Feng Yuheng and lived in Dashun, so people selectively forgot his roots.
The seventh princess of Gu Shu, Fan Tianman, did not think further. She only heard that the woman wearing the veil looked scary, so she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "If she is not good-looking, how can she dress so gracefully? Could it be that the princess is hiding a beauty? Why don't you let her take off the veil and let us see?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "It's okay to let her take off her veil, but I'm afraid it will disturb the Queen, which would not be good."
"Your Majesty." Fan Tianman turned her head to look at the queen and said with a charming look, "Everyone is here. If I don't come to see you, you will be curious, right?"
The queen was helpless. Although the Princess of Gushu and Fengyuheng had no personal grudges, if the matter of the previous dynasty really came up, the relationship would be a bit complicated. Gushu was located in the south of the southern border of Dashun, and there was a chaotic border between it and Lanzhou. Now the eighth prince Xuantianmo had pacified the southern border and established a small court. It was said that the relationship with Gushu was also very harmonious. Dashun seemed to be calm now, but there was no one to take the throne. The princes were secretly competing with each other and developing their own forces. It was certain that the eighth prince would use Gushu, and it was also certain that the emperor liked the ninth prince. In this way, the Princess of Gushu and Fengyuheng indirectly formed a hostile trend. But now Fan Tianman had seized an opportunity to embarrass Fengyuheng, so how could she let it go easily.
On both sides, on one side is the Seventh Princess of the Ancient Shu Kingdom who came from afar, at least she has to save face and cannot be the first to offend her, and on the other side is Feng Yuheng, the treasure of the Dashun royal family. The queen thought, this is really a difficult choice.
While thinking, she cast her eyes on the red-dressed woman behind Feng Yuheng. She saw that the woman had a graceful and slender figure. Whether she looked at her face or not, she was very well-proportioned. She looked up again. Although the eyes exposed above the veil were not looking sideways, she was not servile, nor was she intimidated as when she first entered the palace. Instead, she looked very accustomed to it, and there was also some... like she didn't care? Did she look down on her? It was nothing special?
This kind of emotion flashed across those eyes, and the queen suddenly remembered something. When Feng Yuheng returned to the capital, he brought back a prince named Qian Zhou. When she entered the palace, she only informed the emperor and the queen about this matter, and told them not to make it too public. Therefore, under the pressure of Emperor Tianwu, very few people knew about this matter. It is said that the prince was deeply persecuted since he was a child, so he was made into a medicine man by Qian Zhou. His body is neither male nor female, half yin and half yang, but if you only look at the appearance, that person is completely the same as a woman, and even his appearance can be called the best in the world. It is also said that the prince likes red clothes, bright red clothes. So, the one in front of him...
After the queen had thought about it, she had a clue, so she smiled and said to Fan Tianman: "Of course, I am also very curious. Ah Heng, why don't you just let her take off her veil!"
She smiled faintly while speaking, and looked at Feng Yuheng calmly, but her eyes conveyed a clear message. Feng Yuheng smiled back, turned back and said to Feng Zhaolian: "In this case, you should take off your veil!"
Feng Zhaolian was more straightforward than anyone else. Without any hesitation, she immediately pulled off the veil covering her face and said, "I told you not to wear this thing. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
She was very rude and unladylike in her words, but at this moment, except for a few people who had already met the Lotus King, the rest of Fan Tianman, the Queen, Princess Wenxuan, and the servants in the room all took a deep breath. Fang Yi even blurted out: "Oh my God! There are actually such beautiful women in the world?"
Feng Zhaolian had a peerless face, which Feng Yuheng had seen long ago. What was even more unique was his half-yin and half-yang feeling, which was beautiful with a heroic spirit, which was really hard to find in the world. No wonder these people were collectively stunned. Even Xuan Tiange, who had seen it a long time ago, couldn't help but look at it again, and even swallowed his saliva. And Fan Tianman, at this moment, had stopped moving, with his mouth wide open, and he didn't recover for a long time.
The queen was also amazed, thinking that seeing is believing. A woman like this is the best in the world, isn't it? Thinking back to the time when the eldest daughter of the Feng family was said to be the most beautiful woman in the capital, she also thought she was indeed beautiful when she first saw her, but she was far less stunning than the one in front of her. It was just a pity that such a beauty happened to be a man.
"Alright, put on the veil!" Feng Yuheng spoke again, "Look how scared the Seventh Princess is. If she can't get up in one bite, we will be blamed for it."
Fan Tianman was also accompanied by a maid. When she heard what Feng Yuheng said, she felt a little embarrassed. She quickly calmed down her princess and finally helped Fan Tianman regain her ability to speak. However, she blurted out, "Where did this monster come from?"
Feng Zhaolian was not happy: "Is that a head on your neck? Is that a mouth under your nose? You don't have a brain, and you don't even know how to speak. Ancient Shu is really a barbaric place. Even a princess of the royal family is so uneducated, not to mention the people of the country. How can a place like that be called a country? It's really ridiculous."
He was a man who never cared about what he said, but today he was being polite. If it wasn't because he was in the palace and had to give some face to the Queen of Dashun, he would have scolded Fan Tianman to death in person. But thinking about it again, the word "monster" was not an insult to him, so he just took it as a disguised compliment, and then he stopped talking and looked at the other person coldly.
Fan Tianman was suddenly told such impolite words that she didn't react for a while. When she reacted and wanted to vent, she saw that the Queen and Princess Wenxuan had teamed up to change the subject. They didn't even mention what happened just now, and just said to Feng Yuheng warmly: "Time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, you are already fourteen. After this New Year, you should prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony. I was thinking that when the time comes, I will ask the Emperor for an order to go out of the palace and personally comb your hair."
Princess Wenxuan immediately took over the conversation: "How could you forget, sister-in-law? Although the coming of age day is a big deal, there is an even bigger thing to prepare for our Ah Heng's coming of age day!"
The Queen reacted instantly and said quickly, "Oh my! How could I have forgotten this? Ah Heng's coming of age day is her wedding day! There is no need to ask for permission. The Emperor has long intended to personally officiate at the wedding of Ah Heng and Ming'er. I think I can also go and join in the fun."
Feng Yuheng smiled and thanked the Queen, and the others started chatting enthusiastically again. As they chatted, Fan Tianman was completely left out. Even Feng Zhaolian was only concerned with talking to Xuan Tiange. Who would care about her?
Fan Tianman was unable to catch her breath, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, but the maid beside her whispered to remind her: "You are a princess, you must not lose your status because of such a small matter. We are in Dashun now, the princess must be more patient in everything."
With that said, Fan Tianman was able to quickly adjust his mood. Although the ancient Shu Kingdom was small, it had everything it needed. A royal family member was a royal family member. It was true that Fan Tianman was spoiled, but she was not completely scheming. The maid understood this matter very well, and quickly came back to her senses from the incident just now. She simply stopped looking at the letter and said to Feng Yuheng, "Speaking of Princess Ji'an's wedding, we in ancient Shu have been preparing gifts since the beginning of this year. Next year, ancient Shu will send envoys to congratulate you. I hope the princess will not despise it then."
Feng Yuheng also smiled and replied: "Of course, the ancient Shu country has put all its efforts into preparing a gift for me, how could I dislike it?"
Fan Tianman was choked again. How could it be called the whole country's strength? When did she say that it was the whole country's strength? She wanted to refute a few words, but after thinking about it, she held back and smiled reluctantly: "My princess, you are joking. It's not the whole country's strength. It's for the honor of Princess Dashun."
She was not polite at all, and with just one sentence, she provoked Xuan Tiange and Feng Yuheng.
But who is Feng Yuheng? When has she ever suffered a loss in a verbal battle? She laughed at that time, "That's right. If you want to devote the power of a country, you shouldn't start preparing a year and a half in advance. It's really difficult for Ancient Shu. I hope that what your country has spent a year and a half to prepare will be a generous gift."
Fan Tianman was choked up again. She just said it casually. What about starting preparations at the beginning of the year? Are they not ready at all? But the words have been said. Now that Feng Yuheng has squeezed her like this, it will be difficult to say if she doesn't come up with a decent gift next year. Although Gu Shu intends to get closer to the Eighth Prince who governs the Biannan Desert, the current Dashun is not the Eighth Prince's world after all. Gu Shu cannot cause trouble at this time and follow the footsteps of Qian Zhou.
Thinking of this, Fan Tianman quickly put on a smile again and said to Feng Yuheng: "Don't worry, Princess, it's a generous gift."
Seeing that Princess Gu Shu knew how to give in, the Queen started laughing again. She asked everyone to sit for a while, and Xuan Tiange then suggested going out for a walk with Feng Yuheng.
The two of them walked away together, and Feng Zhaolian naturally followed. Before leaving, he did not forget to glare at Fan Tianman provocatively, making the other party so angry that he suffered internal injuries again.
Several people left Jingci Palace quickly, and then gradually slowed down. Xuan Tiange led them to the Imperial Garden. Feng Yuheng asked, "Why is there a princess from Ancient Shu, but there is no news here?"
Xuan Tiange said helplessly, "I heard that she entered the capital with the prefect of Lanzhou. There was no ceremonial guard, and she did not reveal her identity. She entered the city quietly. Afterwards, the other party explained that they were afraid that the princess would have an accident on the road, so they did not dare to speak publicly. After hearing this, the emperor uncle did not say anything, but just said that they were guests from afar, and let it go."
Feng Yuheng wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this moment, he heard hurried footsteps coming closer and closer behind him. He turned around and saw Aunt Fangyi, who was serving in Jingci Palace, chasing after them. When she came closer, she bowed and said, "Princess, please stay. Just as you two left, someone at the palace gate came to report that while queuing to enter the palace at Ruimen, the third young lady of the Feng family had an argument with someone and was slapped. She is still frozen in place. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
