Chapter 329: A Gift to the Feng Family
Even though Kang Yi was the eldest princess of a country, she was scared by the five million taels of gold.
The current monarch of Qianzhou has ascended the throne for a few years. His foundation is unstable and his internal affairs are in the palace. Qianzhou is in extreme cold, and everything in the land is not born, and a large amount of food must be purchased from Dashun. In addition, the disaster has been cured for many years, and the treasury is not abundant. Although these five million taels of gold are not all, it is enough to empty 80% of the treasury of Qianzhou.
Kang Yi looked at Xuan Tianming and felt that the eyes under the mask seemed to be a fox, cunning and tricky. She suddenly realized that avenging Feng Yuheng might be just a cover, and Xuan Tianming's real purpose was to empty Qianzhou.
"Prince." She was very embarrassed. "Although the wife is the princess of Qianzhou, she is a woman in the world after all. Five million taels of silver is a huge sum of money. If it is exchanged for gold, it will never be able to get it!"
Xuan Tianming corrected her: "What does it mean to exchange for gold? It's originally gold!"
Kang Yi's face turned pale, his eyebrows were tightly clumped, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
Feng Yuheng smiled and leaned against Xuan Tianming's wheelchair, and pulled him to chat with him like nothing else: "I don't have time to go to the palace these days to do weddings at home. I wonder if my father is in good health?"
Xuan Tianming also replied to her with a wicked smile: "It's not bad, I just keep talking about you."
"Then I'll go to the palace to see him. By the way, I saw the Third Prince at the wedding banquet yesterday." She changed the subject, "But for some reason, the servant he brought was injured. When he left, he was carried out of the house. His legs were bleeding from the knees, and the blood flowed all over the floor."
The Feng family suddenly remembered what happened when the third prince left the mansion last night. No one understood why. The guard who came with the third prince was injured. His legs were as if they were scratched by a knife, and the blood could not stop flowing down. It was originally snowing yesterday, and the white ground was dyed with red, which made the old lady so angry that she kept muttering about the unlucky things in secret.
But no one knew why the man was injured. The third prince did not pursue the Feng family. Instead, he left without saying a word. Later, the Feng family cleaned the courtyard and some people found a large pool of blood marks in the pavilion in the forest. Some people said that they had seen the guard kneeling there all the time, as if he had been punished by the third prince.
People thought that the third prince taught his slave a lesson and started to be a little cruel. This matter was revealed, but now Feng Yuheng suddenly mentioned it again. Why did everyone suddenly feel that the guard's affairs are probably inseparable from Feng Yuheng?
The old lady thought of this first, but immediately felt something was wrong. Feng Yuheng was indeed a little domineering, but after all, she was not as powerful as the ninth prince. Just by the nature of the third prince, would she give in to a little girl?
However, after listening to Feng Yuheng's words, Kang Yi's heart was twitching for no reason, and it hurt like a twist. When the pain passed, it was replaced by panic. His eyes moved towards Xuan Tianming's knees, but it was not a big deal. She suddenly imagined that Ru Jia was bleeding from both knees and could only sit in a wheelchair. From then on, she had to push her wherever she went, and she could no longer walk with her mother and daughter.
Kang Yi became more and more anxious and barely remained calm. But then, Feng Yuheng added another sentence, which made her legs weak, and she turned from kneeling to sitting, and fell to the ground. Feng Yuheng said: "How did you think those two blood legs were injured? Could it be shot by arrows? Alas! Mother, I heard that you Qianzhou has a sharpshooting team, which is very brave, but really?"
She turned her head and looked directly at Kang Yi, her eyes filled with inquiries, but more of them were as cold as ice skates.
Kang Yi nodded helplessly. Although she was extremely reluctant to mention Qianzhou's magic shoot, especially in front of Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng, people asked questions, but they couldn't avoid it, so they had to bite the bullet and said, "There is an arrow team, but it's not brave."
"Oh." Xuan Tianming nodded, and suddenly ended the topic of Qianzhou Divine Shooting, and began to ask about the five million taels of gold: "What this lady means is that she is unwilling to use five million taels of gold as compensation? Well, it's okay, I won't force anyone to come. Since money cannot be solved, I can only find another way."
Kang Yi was confused, "What the prince said is..."
"You don't need to ask more about this!" Xuan Tianming waved his hand at her, then turned his head and said to Feng Yuheng: "Hengheng, how powerful do you think the Thousand Zhou Divine Shooter are? If an arrow is shot through the valley, can I shoot my knee through?"
Feng Yuheng placed his palms on his knees and said softly: "Then I have to ask Qianzhouren."
"But this eldest princess is not willing to talk to me more."
"It's okay, isn't there another princess in the palace?"
"Prince!" Kang Yi suddenly shouted loudly, perhaps because he was too panic and his throat slashed. "I'll give it!" She looked at Xuan Tianming, with despair and begging in her eyes, "Five million taels of gold...I'll give it."
"Okay!" Xuan Tianming finally smiled, "Madam is happy, so please ask your wife to immediately make a note of it. I will limit you to three months. Be sure to carry this compensation into the county lord's mansion next door."
Kang Yi was really scared. Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng sang together, which clearly meant that if you didn't give the money, I would ruin Ru Jia's legs.
If she had changed something else, she might have been able to hold on for a while, but she was in a disadvantage in this matter. When Xuan Tianye used the magical shooting team to sneak into the northwest, the purpose of keeping the life of the ninth prince of Dashun, unfortunately she miscalculated in the end.
Although Qianzhou was removed cleanly, it was impossible for him to be able to leave any handle. Now it seems that the deposed legs of Xuan Tianye guard and the two of them today were just reminding her that some things were kept in mind, and some revenge were always there to avenge them.
Kang Yi gritted her teeth secretly. She was a mother. No matter how valuable five million taels of gold was, it was not as good as her daughter's legs.
"As the prince said, in March, my wife will send gold."
"Yeah." Xuan Tianming nodded, and no longer looked at her, he said to Old Lady Feng again: "Old Madam, my father has heard of what happened at the wedding banquet yesterday. I heard that I am going to visit the mansion today, so I asked me to bring some words."
When the old lady heard the emperor had something to say, she quickly knelt down again. Xuan Tianming quickly waved her hand, "No need, just a few family matters. The father said that he originally agreed to this marriage because he thought that the mistress of the Feng family was not very satisfied, and it is said that he had great shortcomings in the upbringing of his children. The father felt that Princess Kang Yi was highly respected in Qianzhou and must be a very good person. She would take care of the children of the Feng family, but would cultivate excellent daughters and descendants. But unexpectedly, the eldest princess actually raised her own daughter so much that it really disappointed the father, and at the same time she felt sorry for Feng Xiang."
As soon as he said this, the Feng family was a little overwhelmed.
What does it mean? It sounds like I regret giving this marriage? Could it be that I will have a divorce again? No, I just got married yesterday!
Xuan Tianming looked at the reaction of everyone for a while before saying, "The father has always loved Feng Xiang, and he blamed himself deeply for this matter. He only felt that it would be really not good if the future of the Feng family's children was delayed due to his mistake in judgment. But now that's it, it would be too late to correct this mistake, so the father came up with a compromise solution-"
The old lady asked tentatively: "What, what method?"
When Xuan Tianming slapped his palms, a group of maids immediately walked in in the palace car outside the mansion. The two beauties in the middle looked only twenty years old, one looked beautiful and the other was big and heavy makeup, and walked steadily, looking at the nose, nose, mouth, and heart. The steady and dignified spirit was just as good as Kang Yi.
Feng Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized the two of them in an instant.
She had seen them in the palace. The two illegitimate nieces in the empress's family were always educated according to the rules of raising a princess, but she did not expect that she would be sent to Feng Mansion today.
"This is..." The old lady was also shocked. She had never seen these two people before, but looking at her outfit and demeanor, she didn't look like the daughter of an ordinary official's family, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Kang Yi also frowned. She knew the struggles inside and outside the palace very well. What did Emperor Tianwu mean? She immediately understood.
"It seems that the wife wants to congratulate the master on adding new people." She said helplessly. She just entered the door yesterday and was snatched by a pregnant concubine. The next day, two new people were sent, but the emperor gave her. How could she not feel so upset?
But the more she was so nervous, Xuan Tianming felt more happy. Not only did he laugh, but he also praised Kang Yi - "Madam is really a smart person." Then he said to the old lady: "The father thought he was ashamed of Feng Xiang, and he specially selected two side rooms for Feng Xiang, and I sent them to the mansion. Old lady, you must have heard of these two side rooms, they are sisters and nieces of the Queen. They have been raised in the palace since childhood. Although they do not have the status of a princess, they are respected like princesses."
The old lady was stunned and suddenly remembered that there were two people in the palace. The Empress's brother died early, and the legitimate daughter became legitimate, so she left these two concubines. When they entered the palace, they were only in their early 10 years old. Emperor Tianwu had no daughter, so they simply stayed in the palace. However, these two people were extremely low-key, and they did not attend any palace banquets, and ignored all the appearances. They were probably almost twenty years old this year, but there were only a handful of people who had actually seen them in recent years.
Two such people have been sent to the Feng family now. What is this emperor doing?
"What?" Xuan Tianming saw the old lady like this, and couldn't help but ask: "Is the old lady not satisfied? She thinks they are not worthy of Feng Xiang? She is just a side room, the queen's niece, her identity is also considered valuable, right?"
The old lady was just confused and dared not to dislike him. She kept saying, "Your Highness misunderstood, not to dislike him, but to be afraid. The emperor favored him so much, and the Feng family was grateful for the emperor's kindness."
Xuan Tianming nodded with satisfaction, raised his hands, and said to the Feng family who had been kneeling on the ground: "Get up."
The Feng family had been kneeling for too long, and they came together and walked three times. They almost sat back on the ground. Han was even more deadly, and his face turned pale when he stroked his belly with both hands.
Feng Yuheng looked at her, took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his hand to put on his wrist. After a while, he said, "Nothing is wrong, the child is fine."
At this time, Xuan Tianming raised his hand and said to the two people behind him: "You haven't come forward to salute the old lady yet! You are the side room given by your father, but you are different from your concubine, remember your identity."
The two men said coquettishly: "Sister understands." Although the queen's niece was born in illegitimate, her bloodline was the same for the queen, so she naturally called her cousin to Xuan Tianming.
