Chapter 214: The Unheated Stone
As soon as Feng Jiuqing looked away, she saw a seven or eight-year-old girl with two round hairpins tilting her head and looking at her.
"Are you not happy?"
The child's voice is milky.
"Why should I be unhappy?" Feng Jiuqing suppressed the smile on her face and showed a fierce expression.
But the child was not afraid at all. He just blinked at her with a pair of blue eyes. His clear eyes looked very sincere and said, "You are so beautiful."
Feng Jiu had heard many words to describe her beauty in the past, but they were not good words, so now she was a little uncomfortable being praised like this by a child with an appreciative eye.
"You are good-looking too."
But the girl shook her head, "You are not as good-looking as my sister."
"Ouch, Xiaoqi, why are you here?" A woman with facial features somewhat similar to this child came over in panic.
"I have met the young master. Xiaoqi has no intention of offending the young master. She also asks the young master to calm down."
Feng Jiuqing changed her expressionless expression just now and waved her hands with a smile, exuding some intimacy from her slightly alienated face, "I don't blame her, it's because I think she looks cute and want to be with her."
She talks."
The little girl Feng Qijin blinked her lake-blue eyes, looked at Feng Jiuqing, and frowned in disapproval, "What you said is wrong, it was obviously me who spoke to you first."
She stated the facts solemnly, completely unaware of the fear in the eyes of her plainly dressed mother behind her, "Xiao Qi."
"It doesn't matter, I did make a mistake just now." She looked at the child's smooth and fair face, inexplicably wanting to try it out.
But I finally endured it.
Seeing that Feng Jiuqing really didn't blame Feng Qijin, Tang felt relieved secretly.
Then he took Feng Qijin and watched her talk to Feng Jiuqing.
Everyone says that Feng Jiuqing is a person with a bad temper. If you offend her, there will definitely be no good results. In addition, during this period, she has given the ministers a lot of looks in the court. She has a bad temper.
It's settled.
This is also the fundamental reason why so many people shun Feng Jiu today.
They were extremely surprised to see that she could talk to a child so calmly, and at the same time they also had some changes in their views on Feng Jiuqing.
Such a harmonious scene was completely broken after Feng Xiye appeared.
"Jiu'er." It had been a long time since he had seen Feng Jiuqing showing such a pure smile, and he was almost entranced just now.
Seeing her, Feng Jiuqing waved her hand, signaling Tang to take Feng Qijin away, and the smile on her face also faded.
"Aren't you going back to worship your ancestors today?"
Feng Xiye is a remote branch of the Feng family and has its own ancestral hall. Feng Yu has already gone back first. He was supposed to rush back today, but he didn't expect that he hadn't left yet and it was almost getting dark.
"I won't leave until you guys are gone. I won't worry about you being alone."
Feng Jiuqing twitched the corners of her lips, "There are many things you are worried about about me."
"That's not what I meant..." Feng Xiye looked at her helplessly. Due to the large number of people, she did not explain. She was silent for a while and sat next to Feng Jiuqing.
"It has been some time since Jiu'er came back to the Western Region. She is not in good health and needs to get used to it when she first came back. That's why I delayed inviting you into the palace to reminisce about the past."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of pandering following him.
"We sympathize with Young Master's hard work and have no complaints."
"It would be nice if Young Master could remember us."
Feng Xiye told everyone in just a few words that although he was the one who made the decision in the Western Region, Feng Jiuqing was equally important. If these people didn't know what was good, he would never tolerate it.
But after all, Feng Jiuqing is still a head shorter than Feng Xiye.
Originally, I just wanted to have a lively meal with everyone, and see if any of the Feng family children had any potential.
But when Feng Xiye sat here, everyone below him was like a quail, not daring to say a word. With so many people sitting here, the scene that was supposed to be a happy family felt lifeless.
She looked at Feng Xiye, her eyes cold and unabashedly expressing her displeasure, "If you are anxious, there is no need to sit here and obstruct others' eyes. If you are worried about anything, just leave someone here."
Just look at me."
Feng Xiye frowned, understanding why she was unhappy.
He really didn't have any other intention today. He just wanted to take a good look at Feng Jiuqing before leaving. He wouldn't be able to see her for several days.
But he didn't expect to make her angry. Her beautiful eyes were full of disgust and displeasure towards him. This was not what he wanted.
He felt annoyed and wanted to explain, but Feng Jiuqing didn't give him any chance.
She spoke slowly, and in an environment where a pindrop could be heard clearly, her voice was as cold as the ice and snow outside that had not yet melted, "Today is supposed to be a festive day, why is it so quiet?"
The person who just laughed at Yan Yan now had eyes as sharp as knives. This rapid change of mood made everyone present feel frightened, secretly thinking that they had just looked away.
Everyone started talking to each other stiffly, and the smiles on their faces seemed to be painted on them, so fake that they made people want to laugh.
She doesn't have much interest left in what she wants to do, but this opportunity is so rare that she doesn't want to miss it.
He turned his head and glanced at Feng Xiye. The smile on his face had completely disappeared. There was a storm in his eyes. It was hatred that Feng Xiye had never seen in Feng Jiuqing's eyes.
She actually had murderous intentions towards him.
He was horrified, and his desire to control Feng Jiuqing defeated his guilt towards Feng Jiuqing.
"Jiuer." His serious reminder was telling Feng Jiuqing that he was the one who truly controlled the Western Region.
Those masks from before were ripped off by him, and now this ambitious man is his true face.
"What? Mr. Feng finally found out that I can't hold my stone warm and wants to kill me?"
With so many people in the hall, Feng Jiuqing's words were so loud that everyone heard them.
They didn't expect that just because of Feng Jiuqing's whim, they went to the palace to have dinner, and they could hear such secrets.
Everyone put down their chopsticks, so embarrassed that they didn't know what to do.
Feng Xiye's fist at her side was already clenched.
He took a breath and finally calmed down his raging anger, "Jiu'er, don't always make jokes like this to me, otherwise it will be bad if someone misunderstands you."
After saying this, he glanced around the hall with cold eyes, and everyone lowered their heads. This was a silent promise that they would never tell anyone what happened today.
