Wang Chuan also came close to Feng Yuheng at this time, and lowered his voice to say to her: "She is Princess Wuyang, the legitimate daughter of Prince Wenxuan's Mansion, and her maiden name is Xuan Tiange. [This site has changed to a new domain name.. first letter, previously registered accounts can still be used]" After thinking for a while, he added: "Prince Wenxuan is the brother of the current emperor, and the only brother still alive in the world."
Feng Yuheng understood, no wonder he was so confident.
Feng Jinyuan had actually been mentally prepared. Since Shen had mentioned the name of Feng Mansion early on, but the other party still scolded her without any consideration, there could only be two possibilities. One possibility was that the other party was a person from the martial arts world and had no idea what Feng Mansion meant. The second possibility was the one that Feng Jinyuan was most reluctant to see - the other party was of a higher rank than him.
As the left prime minister and a first-rank official of the current dynasty, it can be said that he does not take any of the civil and military officials in the court seriously.
But there is one group of people who are particularly fatal: the royal family.
And recently he always happens to offend the royal family.
Here it comes again.
“Oh, Uncle Feng, you finally showed up.” The Princess Wuyang standing on the carriage also disliked Feng Jinyuan a little. “This Princess thought you were going to hide in the carriage and let your wife scold my mother.”
Feng Jinyuan was overwhelmed when he heard this. Did Princess Wuyang mean that Princess Wenxuan was also sitting in the carriage?
He quickly supported the old lady and stepped forward, bowing deeply to Princess Wuyang: "I didn't know the princess was here..."
"Okay, stop doing these useless things." He was interrupted by Princess Wuyang before he finished speaking. "Go tell my mother these unloyal words. I want to ask you, why does this pig jump up and down and scold us? Does it think that this princess is easy to bully or that my mother is easy to bully? Or does it want to challenge the prestige of my father? We can ride in a carriage when we go to the palace. The emperor can't bear to scold this princess when she grows up. Why should I be bullied by a pig outside the palace?"
She kept talking about pigs, and Feng Jinyuan and the old lady's temples were throbbing with anger, but they dared not say anything.
Not to mention that it was Shen who started to curse first, and her curses were much more unpleasant than those of Princess Wuyang. Even if it was the fault of Prince Wenxuan's Mansion, could their little arms as officials twist the thighs of the emperor's brother? That's nonsense!
Feng Jinyuan knelt down in front of the carriage without saying anything, and the old lady knelt down with him. After they knelt down, the other people in the Feng family couldn't stand any longer, so they knelt down quickly. Then Feng Jinyuan took the lead and said, "I didn't know that the princess and the princess were here. I, Feng Jinyuan, apologize to the princess and the princess on behalf of the guilty woman Shen. I hope the princess will forgive me."
The old lady also said: "It is because I did not discipline them strictly. Please forgive the Feng family for their disrespect."
The old lady's voice was trembling when she said this. She now began to suspect that the calamity of the Feng family was not Feng Yuheng, but Shen. Just like what happened today, what does it have to do with Feng Yuheng? Shen is a disaster!
The people in the carriage remained silent for a long time.
Shen, who was originally clamoring, also became weak. It was another concubine who was provoked by her. Although she was only a princess, she had been the wife of a first-rank official for so many years, so she was not ignorant of everything. The current emperor had only one brother, the Prince Wenxuan. He had nine sons and no daughters. The Prince Wenxuan had a legitimate daughter in his mansion, who was doted on. It was said that she would be named a princess when she turned fifteen and came of age.
But such a person was scolded by her, and the scolding was so harsh. What's more terrible is that his mother was sitting in the carriage! The principal wife of King Wenxuan!
Shen felt that she would not live long.
"Ms. Shen?" Finally, a voice came out from the carriage, still as noble and steady as before, "Prime Minister Feng, is this Ms. Shen your concubine?"
Feng Jinyuan glanced at Shen with disgust, and said helplessly: "She is my legal wife."
"Hmm?" Princess Wenxuan asked in doubt, "Isn't Yao Qianrou the legal wife of the Feng family? When Imperial Doctor Yao's daughter married into your Feng Mansion, I personally went to her house to add dowry to her. Why did you change your legal wife to someone else after not seeing her for a few years?"
Shen was so angry that her teeth were itching. After so many years, why was she still just a concubine in the eyes of outsiders?
Feng Jinyuan was also quite embarrassed. He had always been embarrassed to tell others about what happened in the Feng family's backyard. No matter what happened to the Yao family, after all, the emperor did not issue an order to harm his married daughter, but his family hurriedly drove them out of the house and sent them to the mountains for three years. How could he say this now?
"Hmph." Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, a muffled snort came from the carriage, "You don't want such a good Qianrou, but you lift such a thing to sit on the position of mistress. May I ask Prime Minister Feng, if you can't even manage your own family, how can you govern the country?"
This was too heavy a statement. Feng Jinyuan also frowned and replied with a gloomy face: "I am just a scholar, and I am not very proficient in managing the affairs of the backyard. Please forgive me, Princess. But I have always been clear about the affairs of the court."
"Really?" The princess completely ignored Feng Jinyuan's displeasure and instead chatted with her own daughter: "Tian Ge." She called Princess Wuyang by her maiden name, "Your uncle said a few days ago that he missed you. When we return to Beijing from Pudu Temple, remember to go to the palace to see him."
"Don't worry, mother. Tiange remembers it. The Emperor's uncle loves Tiange the most. He has never been willing to beat or scold him since he was a child. I remember when I was a child, my father scolded me for being naughty. The Emperor's uncle was so angry that he refused to let him attend court for two months. If the Emperor's uncle knew that someone pointed at Tiange's nose and called her a bitch today, he would definitely skin that person alive."
"Princess, Princess!" Shen was terrified. "Princess, I was wrong. I didn't scold you. I scolded myself! I'm a bitch. I'm a big bitch!"
How could Shen care about her face? How could she have any face! If she offended the concubine, she might still have a chance to survive, but if she offended the emperor, not only would she die, but Chenyu and Zihao would not live long either!
"My princess!" Shen cried loudly, "I know I was wrong. I beg you and the princess to have mercy on me. I really know I was wrong. Woo..."
Princess Wuyang couldn't bear it any longer, "Mother, a pig is crying in front of me, how disgusting."
Princess Wenxuan's voice was heard immediately: "Then drive her back to the pigpen."
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came forward, dragged Shen and threw her back into the carriage.
Feng Jinyuan was also frightened by Princess Wuyang's words, and the old lady had already fallen to the ground.
Everyone knows that the emperor dotes on Princess Wuyang. Although he hasn't doted on the Ninth Prince to the same degree, he still cannot tolerate provocation! Just like what the princess said, the emperor couldn't bear to scold her, but today he let Shen scold her. Why?
"Your Majesty, I beg the princess to forgive me." Feng Jinyuan felt as if his face had been stepped on. He was a high-ranking official, but he had to endure such humiliation just for a woman's family affairs.
At this moment, the old lady suddenly had an idea in her mind, "Oh, Yao is here!" She nudged Feng Jinyuan with her elbow, "Quick, let Yao come out to pay her respects to the princess."
Feng Jinyuan also reacted, and hurriedly called the servants in a low voice, "Please invite Aunt Yao over." He knew that Yao had friendships with many nobles in the capital. After all, the Yao family had been imperial doctors for generations, and their foundation was too deep.
Feng Yuheng was upset when she saw this little action. Why did Shen Shi make trouble and ask her mother to clean up the mess? Her father and grandmother were just dreaming!
"Mother." She tugged at Yao's sleeve, "Just tell them whatever they ask you. Tell them the truth. There's no need to cover up for anyone."
Yao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to Ah Heng."
A servant brought Yao to the carriage of Princess Wenxuan. Princess Wuyang looked at Yao for a while, then squatted down and asked Yao eagerly, "Are you the old Aunt Rou?" She was born two years earlier than Feng Yuheng. At that time, the Yao family was still prosperous. Yao and Princess Wenxuan were very close. After Princess Wuyang was born, she could see her several times a month. It was not until she suddenly went to the northwest three years ago that they lost contact.
When she heard Wuyang calling her Aunt Rou, Yao's tears suddenly fell. She thought it was incredible that the child could still remember her.
"Aunt Rou, don't cry!" Princess Wuyang was so anxious that she kept wiping Yao's tears. "Aunt Rou, you haven't come to see Tiange for so many years. I thought you didn't like me anymore."
"Silly child." Yao couldn't stop crying. "Aunt Rou thinks about you every day, but Aunt Rou has been to a very far place these years and can't come back to the capital."
A sigh was heard from the carriage, and finally a little girl lifted the curtain. A noble lady in casual clothes came out and got off the carriage with the help of the servants and Wuyang.
She was a few years older than Yao, and the two had always called each other sisters. When they met again after a long separation, they hugged each other and cried as soon as they looked into each other's eyes.
For a moment, everyone around started wiping away tears.
The old lady of the Feng family regretted in her heart that she had made such a hasty decision. Now think about it, the Shen family can bring wealth to the Feng family, but the Yao family can provide another kind of support to Feng Jinyuan!
"Sister, you don't have to say anything. I understand." After finally stopping crying, Princess Wenxuan took Yao's hand, glared at Feng Jinyuan fiercely, then turned her head and looked directly at Feng Yuheng and Feng Zirui.
Yao waved at them quickly, and when she saw Feng Yuheng pulling Zirui closer, she said, "Sister, look, Ah Heng and Zirui have grown so big."
Feng Yuheng had never met Princess Wenxuan and Princess Wuyang. Before she left the Feng Mansion, she was a legitimate daughter, and the Feng family arranged endless homework for her every day. In addition, the original owner was also a medical enthusiast. Whenever she had a little free time, she would go to the Yao family to pester Old Lady Yao about medical knowledge. How could she have time to visit the Shen family?
At that time, Yao often mentioned the Prince Wenxuan's Palace to her, but the original owner, Shengzi, had never been competitive and did not like dealing with the powerful. He mostly just laughed it off and never took it to heart.
But she didn't expect that now, under such circumstances, her soul, Feng Yuheng, would come to see this person instead of the original owner.
She took Zirui and bowed gently, neither awkward nor unfamiliar, and said, "Ah Heng greets the princess and the princess."
Princess Wenxuan said with a smile: "This child, she called Tiange sister, why did she call me princess now?"
Yao also said, "Ah Heng, call me Aunt Lan."
She bowed again: "Ah Heng greets Aunt Lan."
Feng Zirui also followed her example and saluted with his hands clasped together like a little adult, which made Princess Wenxuan laugh and cry at the same time.
Finally, she had washed away some of the longing for separation. She then looked at the Feng family coldly, her face darkened, and she put on her airs again: "My father suddenly fell ill that year, and it was Imperial Doctor Yao who brought him back from the brink of death. From then on, our Ye family regarded the Yao family as our benefactor. Prime Minister Feng, do you know about this?"
Feng Jinyuan's nerves trembled. The Ye family? Ye Rong, the headmaster and imperial tutor of Yunlu Academy?
Cold sweat instantly soaked my whole body...
