However, what Chenyu was wearing was none of Feng Yuheng's business. She just pulled Xiangrong towards the ordinary carriage. When she was about to enter the carriage, she heard Chenyu say, "Why don't you two sisters sit with me? There is plenty of space on both sides. Let the servants sit in that one."
Feng Yuheng raised his eyebrows. Does this mean that this ordinary car is only suitable for servants?
"Thank you for the invitation, big sister, but it's not necessary. We are just a concubine, so we can just squeeze in with the servants." She said this and entered the carriage. Xiangrong also bowed to Chenyu and followed Feng Yuheng in. Behind them were Wangchuan and the maid that Xiangrong brought with her. The four of them entered the carriage smoothly, leaving Chenyu outside.
Feng Chenyu clenched her fists, glared at the carriage through the curtain, and angrily got into her own rosewood carriage.
The two carriages drove towards Prince Ding'an's Palace at the same time. Xiangrong was a little nervous as it was his first time attending such an occasion. He kept twisting his handkerchief while sitting in the carriage.
Feng Yuheng closed her eyes and went to sleep. In fact, she had been thinking that she would draw a pattern someday and use the Guanghan silk to make two sets of pajamas. She would wear one set and give another set to Yao.
As I was thinking, we arrived at Prince Ding'an's Palace.
When they arrived, many ladies had already gathered at the door to chat. When they saw the Feng family's carriages arrive, they all stopped what they were doing and looked over at the two carriages.
The curtains of the two carriages were raised at the same time. Xiangrong followed behind Feng Yuheng, still looking timid and not daring to raise his head.
Feng Yuheng didn't think anything of it. He lifted the curtain and got out of the car with the help of the servants, then turned his head to look at Feng Chenyu.
It was seen that this young lady was extremely arrogant. First, the driver placed a footstool for her under the carriage. Then the two maids, Yilin and Yiyue, got off the carriage first. One of them helped someone down. Yiyue then turned around to hold up the hem of her skirt that had fallen to the ground.
Feng Yuheng looked at this scene and thought of the Western-style wedding in the 21st century. He couldn't help but twitch his lips. Feng Chenyu really wanted to kill herself.
It was the first time for the three young ladies of the Feng family to attend a banquet at the Ding'an Palace. It was also the first time that the Feng family officially sent their daughters outside.
In the past, Feng Yuheng was not in the capital so he naturally had no right to attend. Xiang Rong and Fendai were too young to qualify, and Feng Chenyu was hidden in the mansion by the Feng family like a treasure. People outside only heard rumors that the Feng family had a peerless and beautiful daughter, but had never seen her true face.
Now the three of them stood in front of the mansion gate, and immediately attracted a gasp.
Of course, this voice is dedicated to Feng Chenyu.
The beauty is so stunning that it can make fish sink to the bottom of their bodies. This kind of beauty is neither glamorous nor light, and it just hits the center point of everyone's aesthetic view, making people exclaim at the first sight.
Especially today, after being dressed so carefully, Feng Chenyu made her first official appearance and really amazed everyone.
Suddenly, some people couldn't help but whisper, "Is that the eldest daughter of the Feng family? My God, is she still a human? How can she be so beautiful?"
Others said: "It is said that when the daughter of the Feng family was born, there was a rosy glow covering the sky. She is naturally different from others."
"I heard that she was a concubine's daughter before, but later her mother ascended to the throne, so she became a legitimate daughter?"
"What about the original legitimate daughter?"
The topic finally turned to Feng Yuheng. Someone who knew about the Feng family's secret past pointed at Feng Yuheng and whispered, "That was the original legitimate daughter. Unfortunately, her maternal family got into trouble. The Feng family was afraid of being implicated, so they kicked out the original first lady overnight and promoted Feng Chenyu's mother to the position."
"Yeah." Someone agreed, "I know this, too. The Yao family used to live next to our house. They were so prosperous back then, but now there are so many gray weeds growing outside their door."
"There are no new people living in the Yao Mansion?"
"No. I heard that the mansion still belongs to the Yao family and has not been taken back by the emperor."
"You are here to celebrate my mother's birthday. Why don't you go into the yard to do your business? Instead, you are standing at the door gossiping?" The crowd's discussion was interrupted by such a voice. When they turned around, they saw Princess Qingle walking out of the mansion.
Qingle's words made everyone present shut up, and they walked into the mansion with smiles on their faces. Some of the braver ones looked back as they walked, fearing that they would miss the exciting show that was already underway.
Feng Chenyu looked at Qingle with a smile on her face. She took two steps forward and said, "Chenyu greets Princess Qingle." She bowed slightly, neither being impolite nor inappropriate.
"Hmph!" Qingle snorted unceremoniously, looking up and down at Chenyu's outfit. After a while, he finally said, "So you are the eldest daughter of the Feng Mansion. I thought it was some bride who wanted to come to our Ding'an Palace to ask for some reward money." His words were extremely sarcastic.
Feng Chenyu's face was burning with anger because of what she said. She was angry but couldn't show it, so she could only say awkwardly, "The princess is really good at joking."
Qingle had already shifted his gaze from Chenyu to Feng Yuheng.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other. Ever since the incident at Xianya Tower, Feng Yuheng has become more than just a love rival to Princess Qingle, and she also has hatred for him because he has been slapped in the face.
When the two looked at each other, Princess Qingle's eyes immediately flashed with fire, but Feng Yuheng smiled like a piece of cotton, taking in the fierce look, and then walked forward gracefully, without bowing, standing straight and talking to Qingle: "Long time no see! Your face is no longer swollen, it's much better."
Qingle was so angry that her teeth were numb. She had already clenched her fists and wanted to punch Feng Yuheng in the face, but she felt that she really couldn't beat him.
"Feng Yuheng!" Qingle gritted his teeth, "Just wait for me, if you dare to come to my Ding'an Palace, you will be in trouble."
"Okay." Feng Yuheng shrugged, "Just wait." As he spoke, he walked towards the palace gate, and said as he walked, "Ding'an Palace, I've heard of your great name for a long time. I have to come and see what it looks like after being burned by my fiancée."
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned this, but once she did, Qingle's face became even more embarrassed. She was about to rush up and fight with Feng Yuheng, but she heard Chenyu whisper to her again: "Please forgive me, Princess. My second sister has this temper, and my family can't do anything about her."
This sentence meant to tell Qingle that the Feng family also didn't like Feng Yuheng's temper, so if you have any tricks, just use them, the Feng family will not support her.
Qingle naturally understood, glanced at Chenyu, and nodded, "In that case, thank you Miss Feng for reminding me."
After saying that, he followed Feng Yuheng's footsteps and entered the mansion. However, Chenyu was left alone, and no one was there to receive her, so she could only go in by herself in dismay.
The scene at the door frightened Xiangrong. She took two quick steps to Feng Yuheng and asked in a low voice, "Second sister, it seems that we have offended the princess of Ding'an Palace."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Yes! Your elder sister is dressed like a bride, not like she is celebrating someone's birthday."
Xiangrong asked anxiously: "What should we do then?" It seems that you, second sister, also had a very unhappy quarrel with the princess, right?
"Just leave it alone." Feng Yuheng told her with a smile, "Don't be afraid, if the sky falls, we have big sister to hold it up. We are just little concubines, no one will deliberately make things difficult for us."
With a maid from the palace leading the way, they chatted all the way until they arrived at the garden of Prince Ding'an's palace.
Many people have gathered here, and tables and fruits have been placed on the circular field in the center of the garden. I guess today's birthday banquet will be held here.
Feng Yuheng looked at the ladies gathered together, and saw that many people were looking at her. Then the brave ones started to discuss again - "Is the mountain girl you are talking about the one? I think she looks okay, not like a mountain village child as rumored outside."
"Of course not. After all, I was once the legitimate daughter of Lord Feng."
Feng Yuheng had no intention of listening to these meaningless words, and dragged Xiangrong around. After a round, she found that none of the sisters she had just met came, and even Bai Furong, who had the lowest rank, did not show up. It seemed that it was just like Xuan Tiange said, disdainful of giving face to this royal mansion of a different surname.
After taking a look around, she discovered a very interesting phenomenon - it seemed that the people who came to celebrate birthdays today were more down-to-earth.
For example, a girl dressed up in fancy clothes came over to greet her and Xiangrong and said, "Where are you two from? Let's get to know each other. I am the daughter of Mei'anfang in Jingli. My name is Li Xin."
Feng Yuheng thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Mei'anfang was. Xiangrong answered for her: "So you are the daughter of Mei'anfang. I really like the snacks made in Mei'anfang." Then he took Feng Yuheng and walked away quickly.
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead, "A dim sum shop?"
Xiangrong nodded, "It's not too big. The dim sum is delicious if it can be made."
Soon, another girl came over. "Are you two from the Feng Mansion? I finally meet the daughter of a high-ranking official! Hello, hello. My family runs a Babaozhai restaurant. My name is Ping An."
Feng Yuheng asked Xiangrong in a low voice: "What does Babaozhai sell?"
Xiangrong told her: "A restaurant specializing in vegetarian food."
Feng Yuheng was speechless.
If I met a few more, they were almost all daughters and wives of businessmen, or families of minor officials below the fourth rank.
The two finally stopped at a quiet place. Feng Yuheng couldn't help but sigh, "It's a royal palace after all, why are the people invited so unpresentable?" She tugged at her clothes and said, "I think the clothes my grandmother made for us are a little too good. They don't match this occasion."
Xiang Rong also had the same feeling, "Yesterday, Aunt Jin Zhen said that the person who sent the note mentioned the Seventh Prince." When she mentioned the Seventh Prince, her face also blushed, "How can the Seventh Prince be present at this kind of occasion."
Feng Yuheng nudged Xiangrong with his elbow: "Little girl, are you in love?"
Xiangrong's face turned even redder: "Second sister, what are you talking about!" Then she turned her face away and pretended to be angry.
Feng Yuheng smiled at her for a while, and then saw the crowd that had dispersed before gathered around her again. She vaguely heard someone say, "There, there! The daughter of Prime Minister Feng. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is also the concubine's daughter of a first-rank official! Let's go over and try to get close to her."
Someone else said, "Of course not. We can forget about talking to that daughter of the emperor who is dressed like she is attending a wedding. She looks like a fairy. I feel a sense of distance just by looking at her."
And just like that, Feng Yuheng and Feng Xiangrong were surrounded again.
However, Feng Yuheng was interested in the topic this time. She heard the girl from Mei Anfang's family stretch out her hand and draw a circle around, then said, "See? This garden has been renovated. It was said to be many times more magnificent than it is now. What a pity, it was burned down by the Ninth Prince!"
