Prefect Luo Tian lowered his head and was called to the Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi again with a helpless look on his face.
He was convinced by these princes today. His daughter slapped him and almost destroyed all his wealth. He had to endure this kind of mental blow again and again. If possible, he really wanted to leave the palace banquet early and cry in the inn. Unfortunately, before he could find a reason to leave early, he was dragged back again.
Mu Jiang knelt in front of Xuan Tianyi, but was told that he didn't need to salute him, but had to kowtow to the third lady of the Feng family to apologize. Mu Jiang almost vomited a mouthful of blood!
The Feng family had fallen so far, and a concubine's daughter was just asking him to kowtow and apologize? What kind of nonsense was this?
He subconsciously turned his head and looked up, his eyes fell on Emperor Tianwu, but he saw that the emperor was not even looking at him, but was happily watching the singing and dancing.
Turning his head again, some of the concubines noticed it, but no one spoke to remind the emperor of what happened. After all, Emperor Tianwu rarely participated in singing and dancing, and no one wanted to disturb the emperor's good temper at this time.
On this side, before Mu Jiang could turn around, he heard a voice that was even more confusing than that of the Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi: "Oh? This is Lord Mu, the prefect of Luotian? The one who instigated his daughter to beat up this princess's sister and destroyed this princess's East Sea pearl?"
Mu Jiang's body swayed violently, and he almost fell headfirst onto the table. Then he heard Xuan Tiange say again, "Master Mu, please be careful. Your daughter destroyed Princess Ji'an's pearls. So, are you planning to knock over this table of fine wine and ruin this princess's gorgeous dress?"
Mu Jiang supported himself on the ground with both hands, and finally calmed down his emotions and body. He would never dare to do that again, and would never dare to make the slightest mistake in front of these people. It is said that people from the border areas are barbaric and tyrannical, but who knows that the real wolves, tigers and leopards gather in the capital! Compared with these princes, dukes and princesses, people from the border areas are just little white rabbits, and they can't cause any trouble.
He was convinced and kowtowed to Feng Xiangrong to apologize. He once again promised that the dowry would be sent to the capital as soon as possible to ensure that Miss Feng San was satisfied.
Xuan Tianyi nodded, "Since your attitude is quite sincere, then go back first!"
Mu Jiang finally escaped from these demons, his back covered in cold sweat.
Xiangrong asked Xuan Tianyi in confusion: "What dowry? Whose is it?"
In the end, Xuan Tianyi ignored her and got up and left. Xiangrong was speechless. Who is this person? When she looked up again, she was following Xuan Tianyi's gaze, but she saw a figure in white clothes at the opposite table. He was holding a wine glass and thinking about something. His face was as calm as water and he looked like an immortal.
Her cheeks instantly turned red, and a wave of heat hit her. What she was thinking was: Did the Fourth Prince see him talking to her just now? Will he misunderstand? But then she smiled bitterly. What misunderstanding? How could he have any special feelings for her? What does it matter if someone talks to her? With a sigh in her heart, she forced herself to withdraw her thoughts, glared at Xuan Tianyi who was walking away, and started eating fruit.
Xuan Tiange saw all of this and whispered to Feng Yuheng, "I've heard that Fourth Brother is interested in Xiangrong. Now it seems to be true."
Feng Yuheng also smiled and replied, "In my opinion, the two of them are quite a good match."
"Are they a good match?" Xuan Tiange disagreed. "Fourth brother is a detained prince. Although he is still allowed to live in Prince Ping's mansion, he has been stripped of his throne and demoted to a commoner. There is no chance for him to turn things around in this life."
"So what?" Feng Yuheng asked her back, "A man with a high position and a high salary who can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing but also has many wives and concubines, or a commoner who truly loves you, treats you, protects you, and stands up for you in everything, which one would you prefer?"
Xuan Tiange was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "If you say so, then they are a perfect match. I just don't know how long Fourth Brother can maintain this energy. I'm afraid that he is a commoner, but he still wants to have many wives and concubines. Ah Heng, you have to know that even though he is a commoner, his father is still the emperor. He is different from others after all."
"Yes." Feng Yuheng also said, "I'm afraid that you have nothing, but you still want to live a life with everything. Xiangrong is still young, and there are still three years before she reaches the age of marriage. Let's wait and see. I must find a good family for my sister." Speaking of her sister, she sighed again, "In fact, the fourth daughter of the Feng family, Feng Fendai, has a good life. Although the fifth prince was absurd and did not please his father in the past, ever since he set his eyes on Fendai, his actions are really impressive."
"It's a pity that your sister doesn't know how to cherish. I heard that Fifth Brother has a Fengfu, but Feng Fendai is often dissatisfied. When she gets upset, she goes to Prince Li's Mansion and throws things. Fifth Brother has always endured it."
Feng Yuheng shrugged, "People's lives are ultimately in their own hands. Whatever attitude you put in, you will get what kind of rewards. God is very fair."
The two talked for a while, and Feng Yuheng stood up, holding the wine glass and left the table. When he stood up again, he was next to Yao Shu at the male guest end.
The six young masters of the Yao family all came and sat together. They were very happy to see Feng Yuheng coming. They gathered around this precious cousin and had a lively chat. Feng Yuheng had a very good impression of these cousins, especially the youngest one, who was only a few years older than her and still had some youthful spirit, but was also the best-looking one among the six sons of the Yao family.
After chatting with everyone here for a while, she raised her glass, leaned close to Yao Shu, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother, if your wife insists on harming me, what should I, your cousin, do?"
Yao Shu was startled. He didn't expect Feng Yuheng to say such a thing all of a sudden. She was even smiling while speaking. No one would have thought that a woman with such a sweet smile would say such a slightly murderous word.
But Yao Shu was a smart man after all. He believed that any words Feng Yuheng said would not be aimless. If the other party could say that, there must be a reason and purpose. He himself also had his own position, which was - "Sister Heng, if it is a matter between husband and wife, I will give in to her in every way because of our past feelings. This is what a man should do. But it is true that the Yao family is kind and reasonable, but they will never allow themselves to be bullied. If she has the intention to harm others, especially to harm the people of my Yao family, then cousin, you can do it. I, your brother, will never tolerate it."
When Yao Shu said this, his eyes were firm, and he didn't even lower his voice, so that the other five sons of the Yao family could hear this sentence clearly. People couldn't help but be stunned, and all looked at Yao Shu, with questions in their eyes, but more of them were in agreement. The second son Yao Sen even echoed: "Grandfather taught us to be kind to others since we were young, but in recent years, grandfather has told us that kindness is not blind kindness, but should be considered. It depends on whether the person you are kind to is worthy. If it is not worthy, or even contrary to the saints, then there is no need to be kind, just give the person the way he has given you."
Yao Shu nodded, then looked at Feng Yuheng, "Hengheng, although I don't know what you mean by this, I believe in Sister Heng. On the contrary, I don't believe in Lu Yao. So, if Lu Yao didn't do anything to harm others, and only did it on the wedding day and before, then I will ask for a favor on her behalf, and I will let her go. But if she does something unjust after this, then Sister Heng, I still say the same thing, you can do it."
Except for Yao Shu, everyone in the Yao family disliked Lu Yao, and even Yao Shu himself had some grudges against Lu Yao. But they were kind-hearted and always wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. As long as Lu Yao could behave herself in the future, the previous things would be written off. But Lu Yao didn't expect that she didn't have such a peaceful mind.
Feng Yuheng smiled and said to Yao Shu, "It's good to have what Big Brother said. As for what Lu Yao did, I will explain it to my aunt after I go back today."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left. However, she saw Lu Yao, who was sitting at the opposite table, looking over here with a cautious and worried look on her face. Feng Yuheng turned around and walked straight towards Lu Yao.
Seeing her coming suddenly, Lu Yao shuddered suddenly. Xu, who was sitting next to her and watching her, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yao quickly replied, "It's nothing, mother. Maybe I was startled by the sudden loudness of the drums and music."
Xu frowned slightly and said nothing, but when she saw Feng Yuheng had come to the table, she immediately put on a peaceful smile and extended her hand to her: "Ah Heng, come and sit down."
Lu Yao saw it with her own eyes and hated it in her heart. She married into the Yao family, but she didn't get the true love from her mother-in-law. Although she was never treated well, it was always like there was a veil between them, making her feel awkward. But when Feng Yuheng came, Xu was like a loving mother, smiling so much that her face was full of flowers. She clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves, and she was so angry that her teeth itched. When she looked at Feng Yuheng's changed clothes, she wanted to strangle this man to death on the spot.
Unfortunately, she had the intention but not the courage to do it. While chatting and laughing, Feng Yuheng had already said something that was enough to make her spine shiver - "Some people are brainless and their methods are too low-level. This princess would not bother to make things difficult for you, but someone just keeps biting her. Even if this princess is a piece of delicious meat, you shouldn't keep following her like a dog. Lu Yao, wish yourself good luck."
She said goodbye to her aunts and left the table. Lu Yao's face turned frighteningly pale, and Xu couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yao was so panicked that she didn't hear what Xu said clearly. Her mind was full of Feng Yuheng's words that she should fend for herself. Her arms trembled involuntarily, and her eyes were fixed on the direction where Feng Yuheng left, like a wolf wanting a human.
Xu was horrified and grabbed Lu Yao's wrist, shouting coldly, "Lu Yao!" The shout finally brought Lu Yao back to life, but Xu hadn't finished her words yet: "If you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Yao family, you must be a good person first. If you can't even be a good person, don't blame my son for divorcing you!"
Lu Yao was shocked.
At the same time, Feng Yuheng paused while running towards the banquet. She saw that a palace maid was whispering something into Princess Wenxuan's ear. Princess Wenxuan looked solemn...
