Just because of this sentence, Feng Yuheng looked at the garden a few more times. Dear, search for "Eyes & Quick" on Baidu, and you can watch a lot of them for free. Then the evaluation given was: vulgar! Too vulgar!
I guess the Ding'an family has no taste. It's fine if they plant some shabby flowers and trees that are not pleasing to the public, but they can't even match the colors. The bright red and pink are put together, which looks noisy. I don't know what the garden they talked about, which was several times larger than this one, looked like. Xuan Tianming was a bit too excited.
When the Ninth Prince was mentioned, someone immediately looked at Feng Yuheng with envy, and said flatteringly: "Second Miss Feng is so lucky. The Ninth Prince went to Feng Mansion to propose marriage that day. Everyone in the capital knew about it. I heard that the Ninth Prince also gave Second Miss a house?"
Feng Yuheng just smiled and said nothing.
Someone else said, "A house alone is nothing. I heard that the betrothal gift includes five treasures: Guanghan Silk, Liangren Brocade, Shuiyun Forged Silk, Ruoye Silk, and Ruanyan Silk! And it's not just one piece, there are many!"
Girls all like beautiful fabrics for clothes. When they heard about Wubao, their eyes lit up.
Feng Yuheng didn't want to discuss her betrothal gifts with them too much, so she took the initiative to talk and brought back the topic just now: "You said that this garden was rebuilt after it was burned down, so Prince Ding'an didn't feel unhappy about his palace being burned down for nothing?"
There was a daughter of a fourth-rank official who knew some of the inside story and took the initiative to speak up: "Of course I'm not happy! Back then, Prince Ding'an went into the palace angrily and filed a complaint against the Ninth Prince in front of the Emperor."
"What did the emperor say?" the curious people asked at the same time.
The fourth rank lady continued, "The emperor told the Prince of Ding'an, you can't even take care of a palace, and you still have the nerve to come to me to complain?"
"Hahahaha!" These words made everyone present laugh, and Feng Yuheng also laughed along.
"There's more!" The young lady became interested as she saw that everyone was cheering for him. "Because of what the emperor said, Prince Ding'an ordered a lot of guards to be recruited to guard the palace. It is said that there are hundreds of them! Then the emperor also punished him for the crime of privately stationing troops."
puff!
Feng Yuheng burst out laughing this time. She finally knew who Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tiange inherited their personalities from. It turned out that this was inherited through blood!
They were talking and laughing happily, and in the corridor opposite, Feng Chenyu and Qingle were standing face to face, talking about something. Feng Yuheng looked over and saw Chenyu standing in the corridor with her arms folded in front of her, obviously she was cold.
Come to think of it, it's okay to stand in the sun in autumn, but once you stand in the shade, you will be really cold. But in order to look good, Chenyu still wears a thin dress with a wide neckline. And Qingle didn't know what he was talking to her. He kept talking for a long time and didn't seem to want to let Chenyu go.
Xiangrong tugged at the corner of Feng Yuheng's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Second sister, they are all here to celebrate the birthday of Princess Ding'an. Is it okay to discuss other people's affairs behind their backs like this?"
Feng Yuheng spread his hands, "I think it's like this every year. Otherwise, look at the maids in the palace. They clearly heard it, but no one came to intervene. They didn't even show any strange expressions."
Xiang Rong sighed, "It seems that the reputation of this Prince Ding'an is really bad. I didn't go out often before, and I didn't know any friends. I didn't expect that the outside world is exactly the same as my home."
Feng Yuheng smiled, "Yes, every family has power struggles. The Feng Mansion is never at peace, and the Ding'an Palace is not much better. If they were living well, how could they have attracted these criticisms?"
She leaned back against a small tree, raised her hand and pulled two branches of flowers nearby, looking at Feng Chenyu and Qingle, thinking that these two people were together, I'm afraid they didn't discuss anything good, and it was probably related to her. Feng Chenyu had accumulated resentment for these days and she had to find a breakthrough to vent it. I wonder if Qingle and her will hit it off.
Down the corridor, Qingle and Feng Chenyu's conversation had actually come to an end, but Feng Chenyu wanted to leave several times, but Qingle kept her back with one reason or another.
Chenyu knew it in her heart. Although the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Qingle obviously had a lot of hostility towards her. The two of them might be able to work together but not live together.
She turned her head away, not wanting to look at Qingle, but her eyes were searching around the garden.
Qingle looked at Feng Chenyu who was searching and couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for?"
Chenyu quickly retracted her gaze and replied perfunctorily: "Nothing."
The flowers in early autumn are in full bloom, especially those planted in the Ding'an Palace. They are all brightly colored, and coupled with the countless young ladies and noblewomen who came here today, it is really dazzling to the eyes.
Princess Ding'an's birthday banquet was about to begin, and everyone was led by the maids in the mansion to their respective seats and sat down.
Xiangrong and Fendai were arranged together, while Chenyu was arranged to the other side.
Feng Yuheng heard an unfamiliar girl muttering, "Alas, the girls across the street are all legitimate daughters." Only then did he realize how deeply rooted the four words "difference between legitimate and illegitimate daughters" were in ancient times.
Both male and female guests were invited to this birthday party. The female guests sat in the garden while the male guests sat in the front yard.
After everyone was seated, a little girl rearranged the fruits and snacks on each table. Feng Yuheng was surprised to find that other tables had fruits, snacks and tea, but her table only had a small amount of fruits and snacks, no tea. Moreover, the fruits were all ugly, like crooked melons and rotten dates that were specially picked out.
Seeing Xiangrong frowning, she smiled and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, let's see what kind of evil things this Ding'an Palace can do."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a maid's voice shouting - "Princess Ding'an is here!"
Following this sound, a concubine dressed in gorgeous clothes walked slowly along a path beside the main seat, surrounded by a group of servants. Her steps were so steady, just like the deliberate steps of an opera singer, and it took her half an incense stick of time to walk along the short path.
It was not until the princess took the main seat that all the guests stood up, turned around and bowed in the direction of the main seat, saying in unison: "Greetings, princess. May you have a happy birthday every year."
Princess Ding'an was very satisfied with the grand occasion of the thousands of people paying homage, especially since among the guests today was the daughter of a first-rank official, which made her feel very proud. She couldn't help but enjoy it for a long time, and then she raised her hand reluctantly: "Everyone, stand up."
Feng Yuheng laughed. Stand up? She really dared to use such words.
Only after he sat down did he have time to look at the princess. At first glance, she almost cried.
Is this the mother of Princess Qingle? How come she looks older than the old lady of their Feng family? Not only is she old, her face is also disgustingly yellow, and she is thin. This gorgeous dress is in vain, and it doesn't hold up the air at all.
Xiangrong also felt that the princess was really ugly, and could not help but turn his head away and didn't want to look at her anymore.
Although both are princesses, the auras of Princess Ding'an and Princess Wenxuan are so different.
While the two sisters were observing Princess Ding'an, Princess Ding'an was also paying attention to the children of the Feng family who came to her birthday banquet for the first time. Of course, the most important one was the legitimate daughter of the Feng family.
But when Princess Ding'an's eyes fell on a gorgeous pink figure, her two ugly eyebrows instantly twisted together, and a sentence popped out without thinking - "Whose bride is that?"
A lady who was drinking water was so shocked by these words that she vomited out the water before she could even swallow it.
Bride! The princess's metaphor is so apt, just like the description of Princess Qingle.
Feng Chenyu knew that she was being talked about, her face darkened, and she stood up again and said, "I am Feng Chenyu."
Princess Ding'an was stunned for a moment. Feng Chenyu? She is the legitimate daughter of the Feng family?
After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but secretly admire her in her heart. She was so beautiful. Even she, who was always very picky about the same sex, thought that Feng Chenyu was so beautiful.
But no matter how pretty you are, isn't it a bit too much to dress like this for my birthday party?
Princess Ding'an's expression was not good either. "So it's the eldest daughter of the Feng family. Miss Feng went out dressed like this, didn't Lord Feng stop her?"
As soon as Princess Ding'an said this, the ladies sitting below began to discuss it. The eldest daughter of the Feng family dressed herself up like this, which was obviously not giving face to Princess Ding'an! It would be fine if she was good-looking, but Princess Ding'an was old and ugly, and Feng Chenyu came to the door dressed like this, which was clearly intended to humiliate the princess.
Feng Chenyu also felt wronged. This was her first time meeting Princess Ding'an. Who knew that such a dignified princess would look like this? Besides, if she dressed better, it would bring honor to the Feng family. Moreover, it was not for this old lady to see.
"My family attaches great importance to the princess' birthday banquet. Before we left, they specifically told us three sisters to dress up and attend the banquet. This is a sign of respect for the Ding'an Palace." Chenyu is not stupid. She has been helping the Shen family to smooth things over since she was a child. She can still afford to fight this kind of verbal lawsuit.
As expected, Princess Ding'an liked what she heard. She quickly asked Chenyu to take a seat, then signaled to the little girl beside her, and the song and dance performance began.
Feng Yuheng picked two fruits that were not too bad, ate one himself, handed one to Xiangrong, and then looked through the dancing group to see what was happening over there at Chenyu's place.
Some ladies who were sitting nearby were trying to get close to Chenyu. They didn't care whether Chenyu was trying to please Princess Ding'an or Princess Ding'an, they only knew that she was the legitimate daughter of a first-rank official in the current dynasty, and they had to curry favor with her.
So one offered tea, another handed out fruit, some gave snacks, and some even gave silver bills and jade ornaments. For a moment, Chenyu became the most popular person in the room, and Princess Ding'an's eyes were red.
Feng Chenyu responded to those who came to her on their own initiative with a kind and harmless smile, and was very generous and put on a Bodhisattva face.
But Feng Yuheng saw impatience in her eyes.
That's right, they are all merchants' families, or officials of the fourth or fifth rank. It would be strange if Feng Chenyu would be interested in them, but she was embarrassed to turn against them in order to maintain her own image.
But no matter how patient she was, she still stood up suddenly after a woman who was as fat as Shen said something, and then pointed at the woman and shouted loudly: "How dare you! How can someone like you sneak into the palace?"
