Mu Jiang wiped the sweat off his forehead. The Fourth Prince's words were like adding insult to injury. But things had gotten so bad that he was ready to give up. He simply said, "Fourth Prince, please speak."
"Yes." Xuan Tianyi was quite satisfied with his attitude, so he said: "Financial compensation is one thing, but your daughter insulted and beat Miss Feng in public at the palace gate. This mental persecution is still very serious. Miss Feng is still young, only twelve years old. I am afraid that this experience will have a bad impact on her future."
Xuan Tianming felt that he had underestimated his fourth brother. This fourth brother was not inferior to him in the least when it came to shamelessness. He could say anything and act as if it was real. Fèg Xiangrong was a little concubine of the Fèg family. When Fèg Jinyuan was still the left prime minister, he treated concubines very badly. She had suffered a lot of grievances and humiliations since she was a child. She was probably used to it. How could it affect her in the future?
But since the fourth brother said so, he couldn't expose it. After all, they were on one side in this matter. So Xuan Tianming crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back on the chair, and watched the show leisurely.
Mu Jiang didn't wait for Xuan Tianyi to give him a warning, and heard Xuan Tianyi say, "I won't make it difficult for you. Tomorrow, bring your daughter who beat people to the Feng Mansion to apologize to the Third Miss Feng in person. After that, I will send someone to the inn where you live to punish the rude woman by slapping her in the face."
Mu Jiang felt uncomfortable listening to this. The money squeeze and the insult to his personality, the princes of Dashun were really one after another. He had known for a long time that his legitimate daughter was unruly and arrogant, and he had not intended to bring her to the capital this time. He liked the fourth daughter in the mansion the most. Although she was a concubine, she was the most well-educated and well-mannered daughter. However, the fourth daughter fell ill before leaving. He had no choice but to bring his legitimate daughter with him, as he had already reported to the court that he would bring a daughter to the capital. However, he did not expect that this disaster would happen before he even entered the palace.
He nodded in agreement, not daring to say a word. Then, seeing that the princes had no other instructions, he returned to his seat.
Mu Jiang retired, but officials are like this, some are in the same group with others, and some don't like you. At this time, someone in the audience suddenly said, "I heard that Miss Mu pointed at Miss Fèg's nose at Ruimen and scolded her second sister for getting the title of princess by relying on a man, and there were many other words, which were really unpleasant to hear."
Mu Jiang's heart shuddered, and he wanted to find the person who had spoken to him, remember that person, and even wanted to find a way to kill that person after leaving the palace. He had finally escaped and spent money to avoid disaster, but wouldn't this person's words push him to the forefront again?
Unfortunately, after searching around, he still couldn't find who said it. After all, there were too many people coming to the palace banquet today. So he didn't bother looking for his enemy anymore, and only focused on Xuan Tianming's reaction.
The result was surprising. The Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming, who was originally the most violent, surprisingly did not get angry after hearing this. Instead, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "What's wrong with this? Of course my wife has to rely on me. It's okay. I can be trusted."
The word "reliable" was so powerful that some people couldn't help but applaud him. The princes no longer talked about this topic, but raised their glasses one after another, as if celebrating their victory.
At the same time, at the end of the Imperial Garden, a few young ladies from other provinces came to fèg Yuheng to try to get close to him. They didn't seem to know how to start the conversation. After thinking for a long time, one of them probably thought that they could become friends if they had a common enemy. So she began to guide the topic to Miss Mu, trying to find a common language with fèg Yuheng.
Then someone said, "The young lady of the Mu family is really ignorant of the world. She even dared to say that you, the princess, got this position by relying on a man."
As soon as these words came out, the other young ladies finally found a topic to talk about, and they all started to exclude the young lady from the Mu family, wishing they could step on her under their feet and pinch her a few more times.
But after all the talk, it didn't seem like Feng Yuheng shared the same hatred with them. Instead, she smiled and said, "Relying on men? That's also a skill."
People were stunned, and then thought about it. Isn't it true that having a man like the Ninth Prince willing to rely on you is not a skill? Then Miss Mu, if you have the ability, you can also find a prince and let the prince fight for you to be a princess. In the end, the words that were scolded were still sour.
After hearing what fèg Shuheng said, people lost interest for a moment, and also found that there was no breakthrough here with fèg Yuheng, so they turned around and began to show concern for Xiangrong.
It was much easier to talk to her if she thought about it, and the situation was more or less unawkward.
Soon, a palace maid finally stood up and said, "The Queen has arrived!"
Everyone immediately came to their senses and walked to the center of the venue, standing in front of the arranged main seat. When the queen, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat on the main seat, they all knelt down and said, "Long live the queen."
The queen was accompanied by Princess Wenxuan and the Seventh Princess of the Ancient Shu Kingdom. She was in a very good mood today. She raised her hand and said in a gentle but solemn voice, "Stand up."
Then the palace maids immediately spread out and led the ladies to their seats.
Only then did they sit down formally, and then the queen continued, "The Moonlit Night Palace Banquet should have been hosted by the emperor himself, but there are so many people coming today, and there are some official matters that need to be discussed with the ministers beforehand, so we have no choice but to separate the male and female guests first, and we will gather them together again at the dinner. I hope the ladies don't mind."
What a joke! Who would dare to mind the arrangements in the palace? So people began to greet the queen politely again.
Xiangrong asked Feng Yuheng in a low voice: "Who is that person next to the Queen? Why does he look unfamiliar and not look like someone from Dashun?"
Fèg Yuheng told her: "She was the seventh princess of the ancient Shu Kingdom. She came to Beijing with officials from the south. She actually went to Fèg's mansion once and asked Kang Yi for marriage with her brother. You may have forgotten."
After being reminded by fèg Yuheng, Rong naturally remembered this incident, but he still had no impression of the Seventh Princess. He just felt that this obviously exotic woman was really pretty, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Feng Zhaolian reminded her at the right time: "It's not that good-looking either. It's much worse than mine."
Xiang Rong had to admit this. After all, Feng Zhaolian's face was indeed beautiful enough to make him invincible. However, she could not agree with Feng Zhaolian's attitude. In addition, there was the matter of the Seventh Prince, which made Xiang Rong always seem a little embarrassed when facing Feng Zhaolian.
Feng Zhaolian had no awareness of being a love rival, but he could obviously understand Xiangrong's thoughts and told her, "Don't think too much. We are still in the competition stage. We don't know who will win or lose yet."
Xiangrong was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him. Who wants to compete with a man for another man? Feng Zhaolian was mentally ill, and she couldn't let him lead her into that ditch.
Feng Zhaolian saw that Xiangrong ignored her, but she didn't care and turned around to talk to other girls. Anyway, she was pretty, so pretty that even people of the same sex couldn't resist her, so she was still quite popular in this occasion.
Meanwhile, the Queen had already introduced the Seventh Princess of the Ancient Shu Kingdom to everyone present. Amidst all the praises for the Seventh Princess, people were also speculating in their hearts why this princess of the Ancient Shu Kingdom suddenly came to Dashun.
Since it was a banquet of flowers, flower-viewing was naturally indispensable. Not long after everyone sat in the venue, the queen took the initiative to stand up and led everyone to the depths of the garden. As they walked, she took the initiative to introduce to people some rare flower species in the imperial garden that she had specially transplanted.
Xuan Tiange, Feng Yuheng and the others did not go forward, but followed in the middle of the team. The Queen was accompanied by Princess Wenxuan, but they were able to have closer contact with these wives and daughters of officials. Usually gossips started to spread from the market, and the places where women gathered the most were the outbreak places of gossips. Therefore, the two of them successfully heard a lot of gossip events, especially those from various provincial governments, so many that Feng Yuheng wanted to turn on a recorder to record them.
The fragrance is naturally stronger in places with more flowers. The lady with sensitive respiratory tract had to retreat to the outside of the venue and stopped at a place with fewer flowers and good ventilation. Fèg Yuheng didn't say much when he saw it, but he smelled a different smell from the fragrance of flowers.
She deliberately slowed down her pace. Xuan Tiange was always a bit careless and thought that Feng Yuheng really liked looking at these flowers, so she walked slowly. However, she didn't know that she was walking slowly until she was at the back of the team.
Over here, a few young ladies were talking disdainfully. One of them said, "Did you see the one wearing a veil at the back? What is she pretending to be? We are all women here, and she is wearing a veil. What's the point?"
Then someone said, "Is there something wrong with your face?"
Someone immediately denied it: "Impossible, how can you enter the palace with a facial disease? Do you think this is a street of flowers and birds outside?"
The lady thought about it and changed her explanation, "If she is not sick, then she is just so beautiful that she doesn't want to show her true face to others."
"How beautiful can she be? You have all seen Miss Lian who was with Princess Ji'an. Such a beauty is openly shown in front of everyone. Can the one behind be more beautiful than her?"
"It couldn't be prettier." Everyone sighed, "It's impossible for anyone to be prettier than Miss Lian, unless... she's a monster. But where do monsters come from in this world?"
"That's right, Miss Lian is not only good-looking, but also has a good personality. The girl behind is different. I don't think I've ever heard a word from her. I don't even know which family she is from."
Fèg Yuheng heard that Feng Zhaolian was quite popular, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Then he dragged his feet again, and soon, he passed by the veiled Lu Ping...
