Chapter 136 The Queen's Gift
An imperial edict completely shattered Shenyu's idea of creeping head and golden hairpin.
Feng Yuheng smiled and raised his hands above his head, then heard the guard's insulting instructions: "Princess must be taken."
After saying that, he placed the bow flat in Feng Yuheng's hand.
Feng Yuheng took Houyi's bow into his hand, feeling that the bow was extremely heavy. If she hadn't been prepared, she would have been afraid that this time might not have been able to catch it.
When she looked up again, she saw the guard's approval. She also knew that this Houyi bow was extraordinary.
Sure enough, seeing her holding the bow in her hand, Zhang Yuan nodded, breathing a sigh of relief, and then sang again: "Houyi's bow is a holy object of Dashun. This bow is made of ancient black and cold jade, weighing 186 kilograms. The founding king of Dashun used this bow to shoot the enemy's head and laid the foundation of Dashun's country. Since then, the founding king of the country has given his will to pass on. Anyone who obtains this bow, regardless of gender, can freely enter and exit the military camps in Dashun, assist the generals and command the three armies to help the emperor pacify the world!"
Feng Yuheng squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile on his lips. She seemed to see Emperor Tianwu and Xuan Tianming thinking about giving it to her.
Feng Yuheng knew that the three arrows that were revealed at the palace banquet were a shock to anyone, and even Xuan Tianming had to look up to her. If Emperor Tianwu was sincerely good for this son, he would definitely understand that only Feng Yuheng could deserve his beloved son.
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Feng Yuheng again and asked her with a smile: "Do you remember the princess?"
Feng Yuheng nodded: "I remember, Aheng thanked the emperor for his kindness." She held the bow and kowtowed solemnly.
Zhang Yuan was very satisfied with Feng Yuheng's performance. When he looked at Feng Jinyuan again, he saw the face of the Lord Zuo's in a turbulent manner.
He laughed in his heart. The Left Prime Minister, who had been modest for many years, thought he could protect the Feng Mansion very well, but he didn't know that the emperor's heart, which had originally valued the most, had already shifted when the Feng family drove the Yao family's daughter from the position of mistress.
"Please sit in the hall and have a cup of hot tea!" As Feng Yuheng took the bow and ordered, the people of Feng Mansion also stood up. The old lady acted as an invitation to Zhang Yuan and kept winking at Feng Jinyuan.
In fact, there is no need for the old lady to show it. Of course, Feng Jinyuan knew to curry favor with Zhang Yuan. But since Zhang Yuan could be safely followed by Emperor Tianwu for so many years, no minister could easily curry favor with him. Even if it was a prince, he could tell who was far and which was close.
Regarding the invitation from the old lady, Zhang Yuan waved his hand politely and said, "Thank you, the old lady. Our family has to go back to report the emperor, so we can only disturb you too much. Oh, right--" He said, looking at Feng Jinyuan, "When we came out, we saw another team of palace servants coming to Feng Mansion. After inquiring, we found out that it was sent by the Empress to deliver things to the eldest lady of the Feng family. Lord Feng would better prepare and let Miss Feng come out to receive the order."
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he bowed to the Feng family. Feng Jinyuan quickly brought everyone back and sent Zhang Yuan out of the mansion. Before he could turn around and call Chenyu, he saw a servant running over in front of the door and said in a panic: "Master, there is a palace car coming to our mansion."
Feng Jinyuan quickly instructed his servants: "Hurry up, go and bring the young lady out."
He didn't know what Zhang Yuan meant when the Empress gave the eldest lady something. Chen Yu made a big mistake last night. It was a great kindness for the Queen not to be angry or punished. Why would she give her something?
The old lady was also unsure, grabbed Yao's hand with one hand and pulled An's hand with the other, and asked them: "What will the Empress give to Chenyu?"
Yao's An shook his head and said in unison: "I don't know." One is more formulaic than the other, and one is more emotional than the other.
The old lady was both angry and helpless, and wanted to vent her anger on these two concubines, but one was Feng Yuheng's biological mother, and An's daughter, Xiangrong You, was very close to Feng Yuheng, and she didn't touch anyone.
There was no place to speak out of anger. The old lady looked around and finally scolded a maid and said, "Go and tell Han to kneel in his yard and accept the order with everyone!"
The little girl ran away hurriedly, Feng Yuheng laughed in her heart and walked gently to the old lady: "Grandma, don't be angry, maybe the queen felt that the punishment for the eldest sister was a bit severe last night, and she wanted to give some compensation! After all, my father is the prime minister."
The old lady felt a little relieved, but she still felt unsure. At least Feng Yuheng could talk to her. She quickly grabbed Feng Yuheng's hand and asked in a divine manner: "Is it possible? If the palace really thinks that your father is the prime minister, why didn't he care about the incident that Shen had made before?" After thinking about it, she comforted herself and said, "Last time was Concubine Yun, and this time was the queen. The Empress has always been more generous, and is not comparable to that of Concubine Yun." After saying that, she realized something was wrong and grabbed Feng Yuheng and said repeatedly: "I have no other meaning. It's not that Concubine Yun is bad, good granddaughter, you must not take it to your heart, and you must not be angry with your grandmother!"
Feng Yuheng understood that this grandmother had begun to be afraid of her. Not only was her grandmother afraid, but Feng Jinyuan was also a little afraid, but she could support her better than the old lady and did not forget to maintain the majesty of a father.
No matter what she cares about, whether the Feng family loves or is afraid of, they all ask for it. Feng Yuheng has never had the bullshit principle of "If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend others". For this Feng Mansion, whether she will offend people depends on whether she feels happy. If she is happy, she has to go out to flirt with her; if she is unhappy, she has to go out to find fault and resolve it. She can see that in this family, except for a few close people, everything else is worth pity.
As she thought, Chen Yu had already been supported by several girls and walked out. The red dress had already faded away, her face had been washed, and only her crying and swollen eyes were left to remind people of what she had happened last night.
The old lady wanted to talk to Chen Yu. After all, she was the daughter of the Feng family who most hoped for. She had been in love with her for so many years, but now she saw Chen Yu's miserable situation, so how could she not feel sorry for her?
But she was still holding Feng Yuheng in her hand, and she just put it down and cared about Chen Yu. She always felt that it was not good.
Just as the old lady was hesitating, the palace car had already arrived at the gate of Feng Mansion.
The two little palace maids got out of the car first, then lifted the curtain, and invited an old nanny to come out.
Yao glanced at it and recognized the man, and said to An in a low voice: "That is Madam Dong next to the Empress. She has been serving her intimately for nearly thirty years."
An clan understood, "Sister must have seen these palace ladies in the past, but now..."
"It's okay." Yao chuckled and shook his head, "As long as my Ah Heng and Zi Rui are in good condition, I don't care."
An nodded, "Miss Second Miss and Second Young Master are both promising people, and my sister's future blessings are immeasurable."
While the two of them were talking, the nanny and two little palace maids had already entered the mansion.
Each of the palace maids held two boxes in their hands. The nanny stood in the middle of the yard with a serious face and looked around everyone. Finally, her eyes fell on Feng Yuheng. Her drooping face finally warmed up. She nodded at Feng Yuheng with a little smile, then raised her face and sang: "The Empress has a reward, and the eldest lady of the Feng family Feng Chenyu will receive the reward!"
Although he was mentally prepared, when he really heard that Chenyu was welcomed, Feng Jinyuan, the old lady and Feng Chenyu's hearts were still raised.
The others knelt down with the mentality of watching the fun, and then they heard the old maid say, "The Empress said, just give me something, there is no need to issue an imperial decree." While saying that, he waved at the two little palace maids behind him: "Come on!" Then he looked at Chen Yu and said, "These are two boxes of rouge tribute from the Western Xinjiang, which is very precious. Only 365 boxes are obtained in the palace every year."
Puff!
I couldn't help laughing first.
An was so scared that he quickly covered her mouth. The old lady didn't say anything, but Feng Jinyuan glared fiercely.
I was so angry that my face turned red. I wanted to laugh but didn’t dare. Isn’t it just one box a day? Isn’t this also called precious?
The nanny seemed very satisfied with Xiangrong's reaction, cleared her throat and said, "When it comes to preciousness, the most precious thing about this kind of rouge is its color. It is a kind of black rouge, painted on it, its face is completely black and bright, which is very in line with the preferences of the eldest lady of the Feng family. The Queen's words are passed on—"
When the Feng family heard this, they knelt down a little more straight, and then they heard the nanny say, "Since the eldest lady of Feng's family likes to paint black, I will give her fifty boxes of black rouge in the western border. From now on, the eldest lady of Feng's family, Feng Chenyu, will he go out of the house again, and he must use this rouge to paint it completely black, otherwise it will be handled according to the anti-order. Miss Feng, can you remember it clearly?"
Fengchenyu has the heart to die!
What she is most proud of is this face. It can be said that this face is her life. She was designated as a phoenix life by Taoist Ziyang for this face. In this life, she must have a mother to be in the world.
But now, the Queen actually asked her to paint her face black as soon as she went out. How could this be done?
Feng Chenyu's stubborn look floated upwards, and his aggrieved eyes turned to Feng Jinyuan, but found that Feng Jinyuan just lowered his head and knelt down, not even looking at her. When he looked at the old lady, he found that the old lady was like her father, just lowered her head and knelt down, not daring to resist at all.
She had no choice but to defend herself. As soon as she looked up, she saw the old lady also cast her eyes towards her, and said in a questioning voice: "Miss Feng is trying to resist the order?"
Feng Chenyu shivered and started to beat him, his knees hurt, and the injuries he had kneeled all night began to attack again.
She lowered her head helplessly and resisted the order? She dared not.
"Men's daughter, follow the order and accept the reward." She raised her hand over her head, just like Feng Yuheng faced Zhang Yuan. Unfortunately, one was Dashun Zhibao, and the other was able to get more than 300 boxes of broken rouge every year.
The two palace maids suddenly put two large boxes of rouge on Shenyu's hands. They looked like two large boxes, but in fact there were countless small boxes inside. In addition, the weight of the wooden box itself fell into Shenyu's hands. Shenyu felt his arm sinking and almost threw it away.
The old lady quickly reminded her: "Miss must take it. If it is accidentally knocked over, the Empress will be angry."
Chenyu could only forcefully gritted his teeth and held the two big boxes firmly. Tears in his eyes came out of the line, and he should feel more aggrieved.
When the old lady saw that she had taken the thing down, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since Miss Feng has received the reward happily, the old slave went back to the palace to report to the empress. Oh, right..." She said, turning to Feng Yuheng: "The empress has always been thinking about the princess. When the old slave left the palace, the empress told the princess to tell the princess to go to the palace to see if she was free. The emperor and the empress miss you very much."
Feng Yuheng smiled cleverly and looked up, revealing two rows of white teeth and said obediently: "Aheng has written it down, thank you for your concern."
The old lady of Feng family habitually replied: "Please sit in the hall and have a hot tea!"
The nanny didn't even look at the old lady, she waved her hand, turned around and walked out of the mansion.
As soon as Gong Che left, he heard the girl beside Chen Yu screaming—“Miss! What’s wrong with you?”
