After hearing that the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua would also attend the birthday banquet of Princess Ding'an, Feng Chenyu finally shyly agreed to go to the Ding'an Palace. Dear, search for "Eye & Quick" on Baidu, and watch a lot for free.
Her shy expression did not escape Feng Yuheng's eyes. Then he thought about Xuan Tianhua's carefree and fairy-like appearance, which was incompatible with Feng Chenyu in any way.
The matter of attending the birthday banquet was finally settled. Because of this banquet, Feng Yuheng remembered the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet that Xuan Tiange had mentioned in the temple that day. So he called Wang Chuan: "Take a look at the good materials that Xuan Tianming sent, and see which one is suitable for making autumn clothes, and make me a set to wear during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Wang Chuan was relieved to see Feng Yuheng finally remembered to use those materials: "Miss, if you don't use those materials again, I will have to remind you."
"Why?" Feng Yuheng was puzzled. "Aren't those all very expensive fabrics? I really couldn't bear to use them."
Wang Chuan told her: "No matter how precious they are, that is only for others. There is nothing in this world that Your Highness wants but cannot get. Since Your Highness gave these good things to Miss, it is natural that he hopes that Miss can use them and wear them. It is not like they are kept at the bottom of the box. Miss, you can wear them without worry. If the material is used up, Your Highness can get more."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Okay, I think those fabrics are really nice, so you can pick out the ones that can be made into autumn clothes and make two sets. Oh, and don't forget to save some scraps to make two handkerchiefs. I promised to give them to Xiangrong and Fendai."
Wang Chuan reminded Feng Yuheng: "Miss, you also promised the Third Miss a pair of shoes, saying that they were for her to wear when she got married."
Feng Yuheng had not forgotten this. "She is only ten years old, and will get married early. It would be useless to make clothes for her now. When she is fifteen, her feet will be longer and she won't be able to wear them. How about this, you can pick out the material that is suitable for Xiangrong's age and make clothes for her as well."
Wangchuan didn't feel bad about it. After all, the Ninth Prince had a way to get these things. If the young lady wanted to give a gift, she could just give it to her. After all, she was still a twelve-year-old child. It was always good to have a playmate in this cramped Feng Mansion.
"We will go to Prince Ding'an's mansion to celebrate his birthday in three days. Would you like to prepare a gift, Miss?" Wangchuan was very attentive.
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "The Feng family will prepare these things, so we don't have to worry about them." After thinking for a while, he added, "I don't have anything here that I'd be willing to give to other families."
Wang Chuan thought about it, and it was true. Princess Qingle of the Ding'an family was not a good girl. She had the audacity to ask her father to ask the emperor for a marriage when she knew that the Ninth Prince was already engaged to the Second Miss of the Feng family. It was obvious how thick-skinned a girl was. Now that her own lady didn't give her face, it was reasonable.
Three days later, in the early morning, the new clothes that the old lady had arranged for the three young ladies were delivered to each courtyard by the servants.
Feng Yuheng looked at the five sets of autumn clothes sent to her and nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that the old lady has invested some money. If Shen Shi was still around, she might have used some shabby materials to fool me."
Wang Chuan helped her choose clothes while saying, "After all, the old lady has lived to this age, and she can still distinguish between the important and the unimportant. She can't be like Shen, who is greedy for small gains and suffers big losses."
After much selection, the two of them finally settled on a sky-blue dress made of thin brocade, which was just right for the beginning of autumn.
Then she picked out a set of accessories to match the clothes from the jewelry sent by Xuan Tianming. Feng Yuheng asked Wang Chuan to tie her hair into a decent bun and inserted an orchid hairpin. She looked very fresh and pleasing to the eye.
She was a little confused about the issue of makeup. Feng Yuheng was not used to the ancient cosmetics. She always felt that she would look like a mannequin after putting on makeup, but she couldn't go to the banquet without makeup.
She thought about it, then sent Wangchuan away and dived into the space. She took out a makeup bag from the drawer and put on toner, foundation lotion, skin cream, and finally applied dry powder and a light flesh-colored blush before coming out of the space.
As for other makeup, Feng Yuheng rarely wears it. In her opinion, a twelve-year-old's skin would be very good if she took care of it a little bit, and there was no need to deliberately decorate it. If too many colors were used, it would look old-fashioned and lose its authenticity.
Even so, Wang Chuan was still amazed by Feng Yuheng coming out of the room. She couldn't figure out what her young lady used to make up her face, why she looked like she had no makeup on, but was indeed much more delicate than before.
Wangchuan suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask. The longer she followed Feng Yuheng, the more she found that there were many things she couldn't understand. This young lady in her family could always come up with strange things, especially medicinal herbs. She had never heard of those strange pills sent to Baicaotang and the sweet medicine that was said to be drinkable with boiled water. Anyway, no matter what it was, the second young lady said that she learned it from that Persian strange man. Gradually, Wangchuan blamed all unreasonable things on that Persian strange man.
Feng Yuheng packed everything and prepared to set off with Wangchuan. When he reached the small moon gate connecting Tongshengxuan and Fengfu, he saw Xiangrong walking towards him.
The Feng family made an orange autumn outfit for the child, which was tied with a waist belt of the same color to show off the waist.
Seeing Feng Yuheng coming out, Xiangrong was very happy and quickly took two steps to greet her: "Second sister! Xiangrong was just about to look for you."
Feng Yuheng smiled and took Xiangrong's hand, "Third sister, this dress is nice."
Xiangrong said a little embarrassedly: "This is all thanks to my second sister. If it weren't for my second sister speaking for me in front of my grandmother, I'm afraid my grandmother wouldn't make clothes for me."
Feng Yuheng patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "It's okay. You've only been at your mother's house for a few years, so just be patient, there are better days ahead." As he spoke, he asked Wang Chuan, "Have you asked anyone to tailor the clothes made with the material sent by His Highness?"
Wang Chuan said quickly, "When Miss returns from Ding'an Palace, a tailor from Prince Yu's Palace will come to your house to measure you. I have selected the material of Liangren Jin, which is just right for the season, so Miss can wear it right away." As he spoke, he looked at Xiang Rong and said, "The material that Miss Second ordered to be left for Miss Third and Miss Fourth to make handkerchiefs is enough. In addition, I have selected a piece of Shuiyunduan, which is specially used to make a set of autumn clothes for Miss Third. When the tailor comes, I will ask Miss Third to come to Tongshengxuan to measure it together."
Xiangrong was stunned when he heard it. Shuiyunduan? That's one of the five treasures!
"Second sister." She was surprised and happy. "Second sister, are you going to make me a set of clothes?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Yes."
"No, no, no!" Although she liked the material very much, Xiangrong still felt it was too extravagant. "I know how precious Wubao is. I am already very grateful that my second sister can use the material to make a handkerchief for me. No matter who I marry in the future, it will be very respectable to have such a thing. I dare not ask for such a good dress, it wastes a lot of material."
Feng Yuheng sighed, "Xiangrong, you are my sister. Although you were not born from the same mother's belly, but when my sister left the mansion three years ago, Aunt An secretly stuffed a handful of silver into Zirui's collar. I accept this kindness."
Xiangrong still refused, "How can a handful of silver compare to that five-treasure material? Second sister, Xiangrong, don't give it. Keep it to make more beautiful clothes. It will also be good for you to marry into the Prince Yu's mansion in the future."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chuan laughed, "Miss San, you are really worrying too much. Our Second Miss hasn't even married yet, but His Royal Highness Prince Yu is willing to send so many good things to her. Are you worried that the Second Miss will be bullied after she gets married? Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is a prince, and his father and mother are in the palace. The Second Miss was the only mistress in the mansion, and she didn't have to look at her parents-in-law's eyes. His Royal Highness has never taken in a concubine, so the Second Miss has the final say in the palace."
Wangchuan said this, on the one hand for Xiangrong to hear, and on the other hand to tell Feng Yuheng that the Ninth Prince was a clean man and definitely had no interest in keeping women.
Xiangrong was very smart and understood Wangchuan's intention immediately. She looked at Feng Yuheng with a smile and sighed, "Second sister is so lucky."
Feng Yuheng also laughed, an uncontrollable laugh. But he still said unforgivingly: "Even if he has concubines, I will beat them out one by one!"
Wangchuan and Xiangrong teased her for a while. At Feng Yuheng's insistence, Xiangrong no longer mentioned not wanting clothes. She just said to Feng Yuheng gratefully, "Although Xiangrong is young and has little influence, and can't help Second Sister at home, if Second Sister needs Xiangrong, even if it's physical work, Xiangrong is willing to do it."
Feng Yuheng laughed at her for being silly. After all, she was a daughter of a wealthy family, so how could she be asked to do manual labor? However, as for Xiangrong, Feng Yuheng really felt that this child was very smart, and it was a waste to keep her in the mansion. If there was a chance, he would take her out to see the world more often.
The few of them chatted and laughed all the way to the gate of Feng Mansion. When they arrived, Feng Chenyu had just walked out of the yard.
There were two carriages parked outside the door, one was ordinary and the other was made of rosewood. Xiangrong explained to Feng Yuheng in a low voice: "That is my elder sister's special carriage. She didn't take it when she went to the temple to burn incense last time because my father said to keep a low profile and keep everything simple."
Feng Yuheng nodded. She had heard that Shen's had equipped Chenyu and Zihao with special carriages, but this was the first time she had seen one. It was indeed high-end and classy, and she and Xiangrong could not compare.
Looking at Chenyu again, she was wearing a gorgeous pink dress today, with a gauze dress of the same color on the outside. The neckline was quite open, and the curve of her neck and collarbone were clearly visible, with beautiful lines and delicate and white skin. The skirt of the gorgeous dress was extremely long, cascading to the ground, and the tail was more than three feet long behind her, which made Feng Chenyu's gait even more graceful and beautiful. She didn't tie her hair into a bun, but just lightly gathered it with a hairband and let it hang in front of her chest. With the delicate makeup on her face, she looked like the queen of butterflies, and people felt bright at first sight.
However, this kind of dress doesn't look like she's attending someone else's birthday party, but rather like she's the host of the party. Especially the color of the dress and the train behind her, it looks good, but it doesn't seem to match her age and status. If a young lady in the palace wore this, it would be amazing.
Feng Yuheng glanced at Chenyu and thought of a sentence in her heart: "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die." This Feng Chenyu has put all her ambitions on her body. She is really looking forward to what kind of expression Princess Ding'an and Princess Qingle will have when they see Chenyu dressed like this.
