Chen Yu never expected that the eldest prince Xuan Tianqi would actually send someone to deliver something to her. After being stunned for a long time, Yi Lin had to remind her: "Miss, no matter what, you still have to invite people in first."
Only then did she come back to her senses and asked the girl, "Who sent it?"
The girl replied: "He is a father-in-law."
Chen Yu nodded, "Let someone come in."
Not long after he entered, a young eunuch came in holding a box. He bowed very respectfully in front of Chen Yu, and then said: "This slave, on the order of His Highness King Jing, sent a set of crystals to Miss Feng.
I hope Miss Feng will accept the headdress I made."
Chen Yu was shocked, "A headdress made of crystal?"
The little eunuch seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Yu's reaction, and said with a smile on his face: "This set of crystals is a treasure that His Royal Highness Prince Jing obtained from the craftsmen of the Sui Dynasty. His Highness said that in the whole world, only the eldest lady of the Feng family can do it."
worthy of it."
The words of compliment made the girl feel like she was about to float to the sky. She was extremely beautiful, and with this smile, even the little eunuch who came to give the gift felt that Miss Feng's beauty was truly well-deserved.
So, he passed the box in his hand forward: "Please accept it, Miss."
Chen Yu excitedly took the box and poked Yi Lin beside him: "It's cold outside, hurry up and get some money to treat your father-in-law to tea."
Yi Lin took a large silver ingot and handed it to the little eunuch. The little eunuch didn't give in. He took it and put it in his arms. Then he said to Chen Yu: "His Highness also said that the little emperor
Please make sure Miss Feng attends Sun’s birthday banquet."
Chen Yu smiled and replied: "Of course, please tell your father-in-law to tell His Highness that Chen Yu likes this gift very much and thanks His Highness for the gift."
"I have taken note of this. The eldest lady has no other instructions. I will leave."
"Eunuch, let's go slowly." Chen Yu also leaned over and gave Yilin a look to send him off in person.
When Yi Lin came back, she had already opened the box and was stunned by the contents inside.
The whole set of white crystal heads is so bright and clear that it looks like a pearl that does not exist in this world. It is so beautiful that it is jaw-dropping.
The two of them looked at this suit of hair for a long time before Chen Yu finally came back to his senses and sighed: "When the royal prince gave Feng Yu Heng a betrothal gift, there were many crystal objects in it.
, I was so envious that my eyes were red. But I never thought that one day a prince would send a complete set of crystal heads and faces like this. Yilin, do you think this is a change of fortune?"
Yi Lin was a little dizzy looking at this set of crystals, but he was still not as fascinated as the authorities. He regained his senses faster than Chen Yu: "Miss, this thing is a gift from the eldest prince!"
Chen Yu didn't understand the meaning of her words, and still stared at the crystal in front of him and said: "Although the white crystal is not as precious as Feng Yuheng's amethyst and pink crystal, it is a whole set of tricks! If you take something like this out, I'm afraid
I am the only one in the world."
Yilin became even more frightened when he heard this, "Miss, you are the only one in the world who can't afford to wear it!"
"Why?" Chen Yu stared angrily, "The thing was given to me, why can't I wear it?"
"Miss, think about it, His Highness has never had anything to do with our Feng Mansion. I have been here for so many years and I don't even know that he is King Jing. So why did he suddenly give you such a thing?"
"Didn't you listen to what the little eunuch said, because His Highness feels that I am the only one in the world who is worthy of such a hood?"
"Oh, those are just polite words!" Yilin stamped her feet anxiously. Her young lady seemed to have been obsessed by this set of ornaments. Why couldn't she wake up even with all the persuasion?
Chen Yu was indeed obsessed with his mind. The scene when Prince Yu came to give Feng Yuheng a betrothal gift was still vivid in his mind. She was still the legitimate daughter at that time, and Feng Yuheng had just returned to the palace, acting like an unpopular concubine.
He gave her a severe blow. She had always thought it was a lifelong humiliation. Although she still couldn't regain all her dignity, she could regain some of her face.
only……
"It would be great if this thing was given by His Majesty the Seventh Prince." He faintly said with a look of loneliness on his face.
Yilin became even more anxious, "Miss, you must always remember what the third master said!"
"I understand." Chen Yu grimaced and slammed the wooden box shut, "Go and find out whether the eldest prince gave this gift to my family only, or to other courtyards as well."
Yi Lin saw that her young lady was still somewhat sensible, so she felt a little relieved and said, "Then slave girl will go now."
Seeing the girl walk out of the room, Chen Yu hugged the wooden box into his arms. As if his heart was attracted by the set of crystals, he kept imagining himself wearing such a set of masks and appearing in front of everyone.
How dazzling it should be!
Half an hour later, Yi Lin came back and brought Shen Yu a piece of news that made her vanity soar: "The eldest prince only sent something to our courtyard, and the third and fourth ladies did not receive it. As for the
Tongshengxuan... I can’t inquire about it.”
"It's okay." Chen Yu didn't care about Tong Shengxuan at all, "Feng Yuheng has a lot of good things, but I won't compare with her. You go and prepare lunch. After you finish eating, you can go see the old lady."
In the afternoon of this day, the children of the Feng family gathered in Shuya Garden, and even Feng Yuheng came.
The old lady told them with a loving look: "Although it is the birthday banquet of the emperor's grandson, it cannot be neglected. The emperor loves that child very much. At that time, all the prominent and powerful people in the capital will be present, and I am afraid that several princes will be present."
It is also necessary to congratulate me, you must not lose the Feng family's face."
The four people answered in unison: "My granddaughter will obey my grandmother's instructions."
"Yes." The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "The birthday gift for the little emperor's grandson will be prepared for you. There are four copies in total, and the servants will deliver them to each courtyard. The time written on the post is tomorrow evening.
, just don’t be too late.”
Fendai smiled and rushed to say: "Grandma, don't worry! We won't be late." As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Yuheng, "Second sister has been closed for many days, and she can finally leave the house, but she has to borrow money.
Take this opportunity to take a breath, otherwise you will be imprisoned again if you don't keep it all."
The old lady coughed lightly to remind Fendai, but she did not scold her with a clear stand like in the past.
Feng Yuheng saw the old lady's change in her eyes and sneered in her heart. Then she spoke again: "Fourth sister, don't worry. Next time if the second sister is accidentally punished by the Holy Lord, she will not have it all to herself. She will definitely remember to pull her up."
All sisters, if you want to be imprisoned, we will be imprisoned together. Only in this way can we show the unity of sisters."
"Who wants to unite with you!" Fendai's eyes stood up, "Why do you want to drag us with you when you are punished?"
"How can it be done without pulling it up?" Feng Yuheng smiled and looked at Fendai, "The old lady said earlier that we are all Feng family members, and we share honor and disgrace. I thought when the second sister got the Five Treasures cloth, didn't she give one as a gift?
Should I give the veil to my sister? How come a good sister can get it, but I can’t bear it with my sister when I make mistakes?”
"You..." Fendai was silenced by her. She wanted to say very ambitiously: Then I will return the handkerchief to you. But in the end, I couldn't bear to part with it. The handkerchief made of five treasures will be a good choice when she gets married in the future.
With such an item at the bottom of the box, her husband's family would still think highly of her.
Thinking of this, Fendai stopped looking away and said nothing.
The old lady watched these juniors bickering and lamented repeatedly in her heart. First she lamented that the Feng family didn't know what evil they had done to make them so disharmonious. Secondly, she lamented that no matter whether it was Fendai or Shen Yu, no one would fight despite all the fighting.
However, Feng Yu Heng can lose even an argument. It is true that mud cannot hold up the wall.
"That's enough!" She waved her hands angrily, "How can it be appropriate to argue and argue. The elder sister is not like the elder sister and the younger sister is not like the younger sister?"
Fendai felt that the old lady's attitude towards her was quite good recently, so she said aggrievedly: "It's my second sister who is unreasonable."
The old lady really gave Fendai face. She looked at Feng Yuheng and said, "Your fourth sister is still young. Why are you angry with her?"
Feng Yuheng blinked and smiled, "Aheng is only about to be thirteen."
The old lady was so tired that she didn't want to say anything more, so she went back with a few people.
After several people left Shu Yayuan, they dispersed in the direction where they lived. However, Chen Yu waited there for a while. When he saw everyone walking away, he quickly chased after Feng Yuheng.
Finally I caught up with him and asked anxiously: "Second sister, the date we agreed on is coming soon."
"I'll remember that." Feng Yuheng gave her a reassuring smile, "When big sister Yue Xin is completely clean, you can come to me. Well, don't forget to bring the banknote."
Chen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that you were just thinking about the banknotes. But he still nodded, "Don't worry, I'm ready."
On the way back to Tongshengxuan, Huang Quan asked her unhappily: "Miss, do you really want to treat Feng Chenyu for that disease? If it's cured, won't our efforts be in vain?"
Feng Yuheng still replied to Huang Quan with the same words she used to reply to Wangchuan: "How can we be so easy on her! You should suffer the consequences of your own sins. Your lady, I don't have such a good heart as a Bodhisattva. I will keep all the grudges in my heart."
."
At the end of Shenshi the next day, just as the ladies of the Feng family were preparing to go out, light snow fell outside again. Huang Quan accompanied Feng Yuheng out of the house and said to her: "There is news from Your Highness. Yesterday, I sent a gift
I gave the dough to Feng Chenyu, and the little eunuch who gave it to her said that Chenyu was very happy."
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "How can you not be happy? Your Highness has always collected a lot of good things for twenty years. No matter what you do, you can be amazing. Feng Chenyu's knowledge from childhood to adulthood is nothing more than this.
The things sent by the Shen family, even though the Shen family is an imperial merchant, are not as good as those overseas businesses His Highness has traveled to various countries to do."
"Miss, tell me, will the Third Highness be fooled?" Huang Quan was a little worried, "That man has always been suspicious, so I am a little worried."
Feng Yuheng frowned slightly and shook her head helplessly, "I am also worried. If Xuan Tianye fell into the trap so easily, I am afraid that the emperor and Xuan Tianming would not have been keeping a close eye on him for so many years."
The two of them walked out as they talked, and got on the carriage directly from the main entrance of the County Lord's Mansion. The carriage was very ordinary, not the luxurious palace carriage that the emperor rewarded. In comparison, it went to Feng Mansion for the other three ladies.
The carriages prepared are better than those here.
The ladies of the Feng family rushed to Prince Yuan's Mansion one by one. Huang Quan and Feng Yuheng said: "Feng Chenyu was dressed very quietly today. He had a bamboo hat on his head. I don't know if it is to cover the snow or for something else."
"There is no need to cover this little light snow. What she wants to cover is probably something given by His Highness. Since she is wearing a bamboo hat, 80% of the gift is just for decoration." Feng Yuheng gently lifted the car curtain and looked back. Behind her, Feng Yuheng
The other three carriages of the family followed closely, and the horses' hooves trampled the light snow until they made a scene on this street.
She lowered the curtain and prepared to squint in the carriage for a while, but as soon as the curtain was lowered halfway, she suddenly frowned.
Huang Quan was startled: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Feng Yuheng raised her right index finger to her lips, made a silent gesture, and whispered: "Listen-" [End of this chapter]
