Xuan Tianyan went to Feng Fendai to report every day. Ever since she scattered Feng Jinyuan's ashes last time, Feng Fendai once took down the plaque with the words "Feng Mansion" written on it at the entrance of the mansion, but later she hung it up again for no reason. Now from the outside, Feng Mansion is still Feng Mansion, but inside it is cold and deserted, and the weather that has just entered autumn is as cold as an ice cellar.
Because of the gift Xuan Tianyan gave Feng Yuheng, Feng Fendai quarreled with him again today. To be honest, Fendai was born to Han, who was a womanizer. Her temperament was gentle and affectionate. Even if she had a temper, she would whisper insults and roll her eyes. She was not as hysterical as Fendai.
After all, Fendai's personality is like Shen's. From childhood to adulthood, she always thought that Shen was the most promising. She climbed up from a concubine to the position of mistress, which left an extremely "glorious" impression in the heart of such a proud little girl. So after a few visits, she learned some of the essence of Shen.
At this time, Feng Fendai was pointing at the nose of the fifth prince Xuan Tianyan and yelling, "You have been giving gifts to the Yao family since the day of their wedding. Giving once was not enough, and you actually gave a second time? Xuan Tianyan! Are you attracted to Feng Yuheng?"
The Fifth Prince had long understood Fendai's personality thoroughly. When he saw her bad face today, he knew that it was not good to suffer. He had originally planned not to argue with her and just let the matter go. But when he heard her scolding him like this, he couldn't help but reply: "Don't say anything careless! Do you know what the consequences will be if such words are spread out?" He didn't know about others, but didn't he know about his ninth brother Xuan Tianming? You can do anything, but you can't think about Feng Yuheng, otherwise, no matter whether you are a brother or something, you will be whipped so hard that your own mother won't recognize you.
But Feng Fendai refused to listen to his advice. Not only did she not stop talking, but she cursed even more fiercely: "What's wrong with what I said? And I didn't say anything nonsense. If you didn't have feelings for that woman, how could you specially send a set of ancient medical books? Other princes all sent normal gifts, but you sent it to Feng Yuheng specifically. What else can you do if this is not a hidden agenda? How about you send some antique scrolls or something? I heard that the eldest prince sent very tacky jewelry and antique vases. Why are you different from others?"
Xuan Tianyan was helpless. "How can I be as generous as my elder brother? Do you know how valuable his box of antiques is? I can't even buy it if I sell my Prince Li's Mansion. Besides, I have had the ancient medical book for many years, and it would be a waste to keep it in my hands. It's better to give it to him. After all, one is my brother and the other is your sister."
"Bah! I don't have a sister like that!" Speaking of Feng Yuheng, Fen Dai could never calm down. Maybe when she was alone, she could still think about the past, and reflect on herself a little, and even regret it. But she also knew that her path had come to this point, and there was no turning back, so it was better to just tear her face apart and fight to the end.
Xuan Tianyan understood her thoughts, and even sighed for his fiancée more than once, and even had a deep complaint towards the Feng Mansion. Only in an environment like the Feng Family could a daughter with such a twisted personality be raised. If Fendai had been in another family, perhaps she would be much better than she is now. He was a little anxious, anxious for the girl to grow up quickly, so that he could take her to the Prince Li's Mansion and treat her well from then on, hoping that Fendai's temperament would change and be restrained. Sighing helplessly, Xuan Tianyan never argued with her directly, but just told her: "I have never been moved by your second sister. If you insist on me telling you the truth by sending you a set of medical books, it is nothing more than currying favor with you. To put it another way, I have to leave a way out for myself and you. Father has so many sons, and it is still uncertain who will own the world in the future, but at least for now, it seems that the possibility of it falling into the hands of Ninth Brother is the greatest. So you see, I am also making plans for our future, no matter what the outcome will be, we will not be left with nowhere to go."
"Who wants you to do this?" Fendai glared at Xuan Tianyan fiercely, "This is not what I want!"
"I know." Xuan Tianyan advised again, "Then just think of it as a good thing that she has stored with you in advance. This is just a courtesy. When we get married in the future, they will also give you gifts. Old Nine is generous, how could he miss your good things? What he got is definitely much more valuable than that set of ancient medical books."
"Xuan Tianyan, do you know that Feng Yuheng and I have a grudge against each other for killing my father?" Fen Dai suddenly brought up the topic, "My father's ashes were sent back by her. He was not buried in peace even after his death, but was burned to ashes. How cruel a person must be to do such a thing?"
"You don't have to acknowledge a father like that!" When it comes to Feng Jinyuan, Xuan Tianyan has no good attitude, "You scattered his ashes, you did the right thing!"
"But I won't accept it!" Fen Dai cried, and suddenly she felt particularly wronged. "I won't accept losing to her like this! From childhood to adulthood, they have all gotten more than me. The Feng family has four children, two of whom have been legitimate daughters, and one, Xiang Rong, seems to be not fighting for it, but her aunt An has a dowry shop and has no worries about food and drink. Only I am the most miserable one. My aunt is a prostitute, and they all look down on me! Why don't I fight? If I don't fight, I will never be able to hold my head up in this life!"
"But now it's different from before!" Xuan Tianyan held her upper arms and persuaded her, "Don't think about the Feng Mansion anymore. No matter how good they are, what can they do? Feng Chenyu is dead, and Feng Xiangrong just has a shop to make ends meet. But you are the future queen of the Li Palace. Even if it's Feng Yuheng, you can be on an equal footing with her. What else do you want? There are no other women in the Li Palace now, and you don't need to serve your parents-in-law. You have the final say in such a big palace, and you won't lose again."
"But I won't win again!" Feng Fendai's eyes were sharp. She didn't listen to Xuan Tianyan's persuasion at all. She just wanted to vent her emotions: "If I don't fight again, I will never have a chance to win her! Then what's the meaning of my life?"
When Xuan Tianyan left, Feng Fendai did not see him off, and even felt that the man she had relied on so wholeheartedly in the past was too cowardly<=".. They were both dragon sons, but look at what other dragon sons did? What about him? He used to have a crush on the emperor's concubine, but now he wants to be a loner, what a loser!
This outburst frightened Dong Ying. Seeing the Fifth Prince leave in disappointment, she quickly advised Fendai, "Miss, you must never speak so casually in the future! He is a prince after all, and now you don't have the Feng family to support you. What if you anger him and he asks to cancel the engagement? Also, you must never say anything about whether you like the Second Miss or not! It's okay for you to tell Concubine Li last time in Jingsi Palace, but you must forget it once you leave the palace gate of Jingsi Palace, otherwise once the Ninth Prince investigates, he will always kill without blinking an eye!"
Fen Dai had been frightened these years. Whether it was the Ninth Prince or Feng Yuheng, who had threatened her? She had been beaten before, and had developed a body of iron and steel. Her face had long been as thick as it could be. Killing without blinking an eye? It didn't scare her now.
"Since we have chosen this path, we might as well give it a try. What if it succeeds? Even if it doesn't, it's just death. All the Feng family members are dead. I am living in this world like a duckweed without roots, and I have lost my direction long ago. Dongying, I have finally found a path, and I must go on." As she spoke, the past of the Feng family started to replay in her mind, and this time, even the crying of the child that Han gave birth to later filled her ears, leaving her with nowhere to hide. "My aunt, she treated me well in the past." She talked about her biological mother, with infinite regret and loneliness in her words, "It's a pity that we don't have such a good life."
Feng Yuheng didn't like to go out much after returning to Beijing. Except for the few times when she went to the palace, the princess's mansion, and the Yao mansion, she stayed in the Prince Yu's mansion almost all the time. Occasionally, she would receive letters from Ji'an County. There were letters from Qian Fengshou, reporting on the situation, from the Sixth Prince, also reporting on the situation, and from Bai Furong and Xiangrong, communicating with each other.
She did miss the days in Ji'an County. Ever since the Baicao Hall in the capital was no longer open and the Eighth Prince was dragged by the Ministry of Justice to restrain himself, it seemed that her life had suddenly become more leisurely. Apart from growing flowers and plants in the palace and setting up a medicine room in her own yard, there was not much else for her to do.
Seeing that she was complaining about being bored all day, Wang Chuan smiled and said, "Miss, you are destined to worry. In fact, which woman in the deep mansion is not like this? Not to mention the palace. At least women outside can go out for a walk occasionally, and there are not so many rules. But once you enter the palace, unless there is something big, you will never be able to leave the palace again in your life. Look at the Queen, you are the mother of a country, but she also lives in seclusion all day long. Whether her life is boring or not, only she knows it in her heart."
Feng Yuheng understood this truth, but she was not completely a life of worrying like Wang Chuan said. She just felt that the current peace did not make her feel at ease. In this huge capital city, when is there a peaceful day? It was just to let her take a break temporarily, or it was possible that the other party was actively preparing. One day, bad things would still come. Otherwise, wouldn't the concubines and relatives who colluded with the eighth prince Xuan Tianmo have even more time to do nothing?
"Just wait and see! One day, this capital city will be bustling again. I will cultivate my character for the time being. I will be busy again in the future!"
Wang Chuan didn't know what Feng Yuheng meant by making the place lively again, but as long as he thought about the enemies he had made, he felt that it was impossible for it to remain peaceful forever. "Then Miss, you should cherish this rare peaceful time. Well, it would be best if you could take this opportunity to give birth to a little prince. The Prince Yu's Mansion is really too deserted."
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead, "Do you think you can give birth to a child just like that? It takes ten months of pregnancy, right? Can the enemy let us live in peace for ten months?"
As the master and servant were talking, a maid came over quickly, bowed in front of Feng Yuheng and said, "Princess, many people have gathered at the gate of the palace, saying that they must see you and have something important to discuss."
"Important matters? Common people?" Feng Yuheng was puzzled...
