Feng Fendai came to see Concubine Li, which was her own sudden idea. In the final analysis, it was due to her quarrel with the fifth prince Xuan Tianyan, and her increasingly unwilling heart. The fifth prince alone was no longer enough for her, or in other words, she felt that the fifth prince was alone and weak, and it would be difficult for him to accomplish his great cause, so she had to do everything possible to make the fifth prince's power stronger. If one person is not enough, then two people will do it. If two people are not enough, then more people will be gathered. In short, the floodgates of her ambition have been opened and cannot be closed.
"Miss." Dongying asked in confusion: "What are we doing here? This... this is the ladies' tent, let's go!"
"What's the hurry?" Feng Fendai shrugged. "Empress? Only the Empress today. One day, I will become the Empress too."
Dongying was so scared that she kept persuading her: "Miss, don't dare to say that! Even if you really think so in your heart, you shouldn't say it so blatantly!" She looked around while persuading Fendai. Fortunately, people were preparing for the bonfire party in the evening and no one paid attention to them.
Fendai walked a few more steps toward the tent, and Dongying hurriedly followed behind. The two soon discovered that there were no royal guards guarding the door of the tent. The soldiers guarding this side were sent far away, leaving only a maid standing outside, looking at the two of them warily with an unhappy look on her face.
Feng Fendai, however, pretended not to see anything and continued to walk forward step by step, until the maid could no longer bear to watch and stepped forward to stop them with her hand: "Stop! Who are you? This is the tent of Concubine Li, no outsiders are allowed to approach."
The master was stopped, and this kind of registration number thing was done by the maid, so Dongying hurriedly said: "Hello, sister, my lady is the fourth lady of the Feng family, and this time she came to participate in the winter circle with the fifth prince."
The maid looked at Fendai for a while before saying, "Oh, it's Miss Feng. May I ask what brings you here?"
Dongying didn't know how to answer. She didn't know whether her young lady was going to see Concubine Li or just passing by, so she could only look at Fendai and wait for her to answer. But Fendai didn't say anything at this time. She just stood there quietly, listening to the crying sounds coming from the tent from time to time, with a puzzled look on her face. "Is your lady crying?" She asked, but she didn't answer the maid's question.
The other party was obviously very angry, staring at her and sternly said, "Miss Feng, you don't need to worry about what the queen does. Miss Feng, just take care of yourself. If you have nothing to do, please leave. This is the tent of the concubines. It is not appropriate for Miss Feng to stand here for a long time."
Fendai still didn't listen to her. Her attention was completely focused inside the tent. Her ears were almost perked up. She could hear the crying sounds coming from inside, and there was a faint sentence - "I didn't mean to do it. I really didn't mean to do it. I didn't expect it to be like this. How did it become like this?"
As Fendai listened, she became more confused. The crying must have come from Concubine Li, otherwise no one would have the courage to run into the concubine's tent and make such a noise. But why was Concubine Li crying when she had nothing to do? And why did she say such strange words?
As she was thinking, the maid had already started to drive people away even more rudely - "Don't just stand there, go away quickly, my queen is not feeling well today, so she won't see any guests. Miss Feng is also a well-known person, after all, there is still the face of the Fifth Prince. You don't care about your own face, but you can't let the Fifth Prince lose face with you! If you stand there and don't leave, I will call for help, and it will be embarrassing, but you, Miss."
Dong Ying couldn't listen any longer, "How can you talk like that! Although I serve the Madam, I am just a servant. My young lady will marry the Fifth Prince as his principal wife, and he is also a proper master. Aren't you afraid of retribution in the future for talking like that?"
"Don't threaten me." The maid looked at Dongying and said disdainfully, "That's a matter for the future. Even if she becomes the Fifth Prince's principal wife in the future, she will still have to kowtow to our queen when she sees us. Today, I am not going to argue with you for the Fifth Prince's sake. If you still don't know what's good for you, I will go in and report to the queen and punish you for disrespect!"
"Okay, stop talking." Feng Fendai suddenly spoke, glanced at the maid, and said with a smile: "I just wanted to come and see Concubine Li. I heard from the Fifth Prince that the Concubine has been in poor health recently, and she insisted on accompanying the Emperor to this winter retreat. I couldn't let it go, so I came to see her. Since the Concubine is fine, we will go back. You servants must take good care of the Concubine's health and don't let the master down." After she finished speaking, she smiled again, pulled Dongying, and the two turned around and went back to their own tents.
In the princess's tent, Feng Yuheng had already handed the little guy over to the second prince, and also told him her analysis with Xuan Tianhua. At this time, Ban Zou was standing in front of her and told her: "Fu Ya has entered the hunting ground, disguised as a maid, and followed Concubine Yuan Shu."
Huang Quan smiled and reminded him: "You don't know, she is no longer Concubine Yuan Shu, but Concubine Yuan. She was reckless and went against our master, so the emperor demoted her."
Ban Zou shrugged, "She should have surrendered long ago." Then he looked at Feng Yuheng and said, "Fu Ya has entered the tent of the noble Yuan... and has not taken any further action for the time being. I will continue to keep an eye on her. You... you better be careful, don't let yourself get bitten by a tiger and cursed by someone, it's not easy for me to worry about."
Feng Yuheng was used to being scolded by Ban Zou, so she just rolled her eyes and said "got it", and sent Ban Zou away to continue watching. She didn't stay in the tent any longer, and asked Huang Quan to stay here to look after the little white tiger, while she went to the imperial tent to watch over Xuan Feiyu.
It was getting dark. When she arrived, Tianwu had already woken up and was sitting beside Feiyu's couch, watching his grandson. She bowed to Tianwu and asked, "Is your Majesty going to the banquet tonight? I saw that everything was almost ready outside. The Fourth Prince arranged it very well, and many people gathered."
Tianwu waved his hand and said, "I won't go. I don't have the heart to think about it. No banquet is as important as my little grandson. I can only feel at ease if I see this child getting better."
Feng Yuheng quickly advised him: "Don't worry, Father, Feiyu is really fine. Ah Heng will definitely treat him the same as before, and there will be no trace left."
Tianwu nodded and looked at her, "I believe you, but why is Feiyu still not awake?"
As soon as he finished asking, he heard the sound of little Feiyu humming on the bed. Everyone turned their heads to see that the child had woken up while he was talking. He was very energetic when he woke up. He grabbed the corner of Tianwu's robe with his little hand and said to him, "Grandpa Emperor, you have to attend the banquet. You can't miss it because of your grandson. That would be in the good of the bad guys."
"Oh!" Tianwu was happy, "You still know that you are doing what the bad guys want?" After thinking about it, "Yes, my good grandson has grown up. He is a big boy, sensible and filial."
Xuan Feiyu felt very embarrassed by what he said, and his little face turned red, which made Feng Yuheng very worried whether the child had a fever. However, she couldn't say it in front of Emperor Tianwu, for fear that the old emperor would get anxious again. If Emperor Tianwu got sick again, she would be in big trouble.
"Grandpa, go quickly." Xuan Feiyu pushed Tianwu, "There are so many people waiting outside. Only when Grandpa goes out can everyone know that Feiyu is fine. Also, we can't let family affairs interfere with the country. This is what Grandpa taught his grandson."
Tianwu was amused by him and kept saying that his little grandson had grown up and had begun to teach his grandfather a lesson. After talking and laughing like this, he felt much better and then left the tent and happily went to the banquet.
After Tianwu left, Xuan Feiyu called Feng Yuheng, and then saw Feng Yuheng sitting next to him, and then he said: "Sister, there is one thing I can't figure out, why did your little white tiger run into the woods? And why do I feel that the little white tiger hates me?"
"Hate you?" Feng Yuheng was also stunned when he heard it, "What do you mean? Why does the little white tiger hate you?"
Xuan Feiyu said to her, "Because when I first saw it, it didn't react to me in any surprising way, so I got off the horse and wanted to hug it. But when I got closer, it suddenly went crazy and stared at me like an enemy. When I got closer, it simply pounced on me and bit me. I really can't understand why this happened?"
Xuan Feiyu's words reminded Feng Yuheng of an analysis that the eldest prince Xuan Tianqi had done. He said that it was possible that the little white tiger had mistaken someone because Feiyu had that smell on him, which made it misunderstand that Feiyu was the person it wanted to bite. And the person it really wanted to bite should be a royal guard with the smell of spices on his body. If it was correct, it must be the one who had disappeared while guarding outside her princess's tent.
She patted Xuan Feiyu and told him, "Little White Tiger doesn't hate you. It may have recognized the wrong person. In any case, I am sorry for you. I didn't take good care of that little tiger, and our Feiyu suffered so much. Don't worry, I will definitely cure you and will never let anything happen to you." As she spoke, she touched the child's forehead and found that he was indeed a little feverish. She quickly asked Wangchuan to get some water, fed Xuan Feiyu some antipyretic medicine, and coaxed him to sleep again. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the banquet outside had already begun. Because Emperor Tianwu had gone out, all the princes had to attend. The sounds of singing, dancing and music could be clearly heard from the imperial tent. It was very lively.
During the banquet, Feng Fendai kept looking at where Concubine Li was. The person who said she was not feeling well did look listless. Although she had put on delicate makeup, it was still obvious that she had cried not long ago. However, no one paid attention to her emotions, including the Queen. They all thought it was normal for concubines in the harem to cry occasionally. In addition, Concubine Li was a sister of Concubine Yuan, so it was normal for her to feel bad.
Fendai stood up with a smile to toast Concubine Li, said a few polite words before returning to her seat. Then she glanced at the Fifth Prince Xuan Tianyan, and saw that Xuan Tianyan was looking at her with a frown, obviously dissatisfied and puzzled with her actions just now.
Fendai didn't care about that, and rolled her eyes at Xuan Tianyan, looking like she didn't care, which made Xuan Tianyan so angry that he really wanted to pull the girl to his side and ask her what she was doing. However, Fendai was becoming more and more suspicious of Concubine Li in her heart.
At this moment, while no one was paying attention, Concubine Yuan quietly left the table and walked into the depths of the forest of the hunting ground with a maid beside her...
