Feng Yuheng's thoughts may not be understood by others, but Xiangrong and Anshi can understand. It is not surprising that Feng Yuheng stays away from the Feng family. It is also possible that Yaoshi herself committed suicide by recognizing Fu Ya, which eventually made Feng Yuheng impatient. But Xiangrong knew that no matter who her second sister had an enemy with, she would never have an enemy with the Yao family. Similarly, the Yao family would never be so unreasonable as to go to the door and scold people just because of Yaoshi.
All of this was just an illusion created by Feng Yuheng to protect them. Even the Fourth Prince told her, "You have a good sister who can protect you to such an extent. Don't worry, from now on, I will take over your protection and will not let you be bullied."
She didn't bother to pay attention to Xuan Tianyi's nonsense. She just knew that her second sister didn't really leave, and she felt happy. Today, she wanted to help her second sister. Since the play had to be convincing, she had to sing it sincerely. But she sang along, so why did she feel so uncomfortable after singing?
At noon the next day, someone from the palace came to report that the emperor had decided to go hunting in the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs five days later. Princess Ji'an was chosen as the entourage and was asked to get ready and enter the palace in the early morning five days later.
After the palace maid left, Wang Chuan told Feng Yu Heng that this was called the Winter Encirclement. In the past, Emperor Tianwu would organize one every winter, but for some reason, it had stopped in the past two years. In Huang Quan's words, "Perhaps it's because the emperor is old and doesn't like to make trouble like he did when he was young."
Wangchuan didn't think so, and scolded Huangquan lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, the emperor is in good spirits." Then he turned to Feng Yuheng and said, "In my opinion, it was because of the winter disaster the year before last that the common people suffered, and the royal family couldn't go hunting for fun. Last year, it was probably because the young lady and the Ninth Prince went to the Northern Territory, and Qianzhou was fighting a war, so the emperor didn't mention hunting."
Feng Yuheng nodded, thinking that what she said made sense, so he stopped asking questions and just told Huang Quan: "Feed the little white tiger well these few days. When we are ready, prepare some more food for it and carry it with you."
Huang Quan had no choice but to repeat the old saying: "Tigers eat meat, they can't drink milk powder all day long, isn't that just like water? How can they get full? Look at Xiaobai, he grows so slowly, miss, I think it has something to do with the food you feed him."
Feng Yuheng shook her head and told her, "No, I also feed Xiaobai dry food. I have shared a lot of delicious snacks in the kitchen with him, and he eats them all. He doesn't just drink milk. Besides, why do we need him to grow so big? Where should we keep him when he grows up? Should we really build an iron cage to lock him up? Would you be willing to do that?"
Huang Quan and Wang Chuan shook their heads and said, "We can't bear to do it." They had been in contact with the little white tiger for a long time, and treated it like a pet, playing with it all day long. How could they bear to put it in a cage?
"But it doesn't matter. It has grown so big, and it's just strolling in the yard. You two are good at martial arts and are not afraid of anything, but what about others? What if Xiaobai gets hungry one day and wants to eat people? Who do you think should be eaten in our house?" Feng Yuheng cracked melon seeds and teased the two girls.
Huang Quan stamped his feet in anger, and Wang Chuan said helplessly: "Just now you said Xiao Bai doesn't eat meat, why does it want to eat people?"
"Isn't this Huang Quan who wants to feed it meat?"
"Forget it, just drink milk." Huang Quan gave up. "Let him grow up or not. Anyway, it's fun to hold him in my arms every day."
Feng Yuheng chatted with the two maids for a while, then got up and went to the medicine room. Since Bai Furong moved in, she had set up a lounge in the medicine room as a place for Bai Furong to stay. However, as Bai Furong's condition improved, Feng Yuheng thought that when they returned from the winter camp, they should be able to move out of the medicine room and move to an ordinary room.
When she arrived, Bai Furong was awake, fiddling with a bottle of pills, staring at the strange words on them. Seeing Feng Yuheng coming over, she quickly stood up and said to her with a smile: "Ah Heng, I can now wake up for half a day every day, and when I want to fall asleep, I don't pass out all of a sudden, but can walk to the bed, lie down, and then fall asleep. Ah Heng, all this is given to me by you, thank you."
Feng Yuheng was happy to see her, so he was happy too, so he chatted with Bai Furong for a while, and then told her that he would go to the winter hunting in five days, and Qingyu would come back to the mansion often, and asked her to talk to Qingyu if she had anything. But Bai Furong was always hesitant to speak, Feng Yuheng understood what she wanted to ask, so he took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, Bai Ze is with His Highness the Ninth, everything is fine, His Highness the Ninth promised me that he would come back before the New Year, and you should be well by then, so it won't affect the wedding."
Bai Furong's face turned red because of what she said. She was too shy to even look up, which made Feng Yuheng laugh. But Bai Furong was still worried, "Ah Heng, you also said that I can't completely recover to my past. If I get old and ugly, do you think... will Bai Ze still want me?"
Feng Yuheng had never worried about this problem. She told Bai Furong, "Bai Ze is not one of those playboys. His criteria for choosing a wife are different from other men. You have to believe in him and yourself. Of course, you have to believe in me even more." She held Bai Furong's hand and said seriously, "Believe in me, believe in my medical skills, I will do my best to heal you."
Five days passed quickly. The Princess's Mansion had already gotten up and prepared before dawn. Feng Yuheng wore a simple winter robe, held the little white tiger in her arms, ate a quick snack, and got on the imperial carriage. Ban Zou drove the carriage all the way to the palace. On the way, Huang Quan asked her, "Miss, are you really not going to let Ban Zou go with us to the hunting ground?"
"Don't take him." Feng Yuheng said firmly, "When the emperor travels, he must bring a group of concubines and guards. It is not convenient for me to bring secret guards. If someone with ulterior motives uses this to make trouble, it will be difficult to explain."
The driver outside heard her words clearly and couldn't help but sneer, "If you don't want to bring it up, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush and finding so many excuses?"
Feng Yuheng was puzzled, "Where did I find excuses? I only explained a few words because Huang Quan asked me. I was speaking directly, can't you hear that?"
Ban Zou just snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.
The palace gate arrived very quickly. There were palace servants waiting here early this morning to welcome the masters to the palace. In addition to Feng Yuheng, there were Xuan Tiange's family, as well as some important officials and their families who accompanied them along the way. There were also many people entering the palace.
Feng Yuheng arrived early. He did not go to the harem first, but went to the craftsman's room first to find Bai Qiaojiang. At the beginning, Bai Qiaojiang insisted on entering the palace again and stayed in the palace with peace of mind, trying to find the person they suspected. But after so long, when Feng Yuheng saw him again, Bai Qiaojiang shook his head helplessly: "I stayed in the palace and observed for so long, but I still couldn't find the suspicious person. Sometimes I have begun to doubt whether my original judgment was right or wrong. Princess, have you ever thought that it is possible that we misunderstood?"
Feng Yuheng couldn't figure out the truth about this matter, but she knew that there must be a person or several people in the palace who had a close relationship with the Northern Realm and Qian Zhou. She reminded Bai Qiaojiang: "If observing with your eyes doesn't produce any results, then use your heart to observe and think. Sometimes, things that cannot be seen with the naked eye can be seen more clearly with your eyes closed."
When she said that, Bai Qiaojiang remembered something. He told Feng Yuheng, "In fact, I am not completely clueless. These days, you have sent news to the palace from time to time to tell me about Furong's situation. I heard that she was fine, so I relaxed a lot. In addition, since you came back, there are not so many jobs in the palace. Although I have promised to make jewelry for everyone, the people in the palace still have some concerns, and I don't have too many jobs on hand. When I am free, I always wonder why I was always entangled by this and that before? The more I wanted to leave the palace to find Furong, the more jobs came to me. At that time, it seemed that there were endless jewelry to make. After I finished one, another was sent, and I couldn't get rid of it anyway. Although those jobs were sent by different people, there must be someone behind the scenes who was in charge, which made those people come to me without any prior agreement."
Bai Qiaojiang was also flustered, and since he was still guessing about the matter, his words were not very well organized, but Feng Yuheng could understand. She asked Bai Qiaojiang, "Uncle, do you have any suspicions?"
Bai Qiaojiang looked at her, pondered for a while, and finally said: "That person should have a very high status in the palace, at least no one in the harem can match him. Princess, I suspect..."
"Empress?" Feng Yuheng spoke for him, his face serious, his eyebrows tightly knitted together, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes.
Bai Qiaojiang nodded, "Yes, it's the queen. But all this is just my guess. At least for now, it seems that the queen has no handle in our hands, and she is also sincere to Dashun, the emperor, and the princess. So the princess should just listen to this matter, and don't take it too seriously, otherwise it will be a sin to wrongly accuse a good person. What's more, even if she is really not a good person, she is too powerful. Princess, you have to be careful."
Feng Yuheng didn't stay here for long, and soon returned to the harem. She first asked Concubine Yun if she wanted to go, but Concubine Yun was still sleeping and hadn't gotten up yet, so naturally she wasn't going. She didn't bother her any more, and turned to go to the Queen.
All the concubines and female relatives who came to the palace today had to gather here with the queen first, waiting for the time to leave the palace together. When she arrived, many people were already waiting here. Feng Yuheng looked around and saw many familiar faces, not to mention the concubines in the palace. Just from outside the palace, there were Lu Yan from the Lu family, Feng Fendai from the Feng family, and Xiang Rong, plus Xuan Tiange, Ren Xifeng, and Feng Tianyu, all of whom were already waiting here.
She bowed to the queen, exchanged greetings and left the venue. She was about to say hello to Xuan Tiange when two old friends caught her eye. Seeing them, Bai Qiaojiang's previous words started to replay in her mind. She thought for a moment and walked towards them...
