Chapter 784: 784
The Chain Must Not Fall Off in a Critical Moment
Feng Yu Heng’s left eye had been twitching since early on in the day . Originally, she did not believe in such superstitions, but there were times when she would think a bit more about them, especially during busy times like these . It was likely that her woman’s intuition would be accurate . It was just that she could never figure out the reason . Now that she saw the eighth prince and heard what he had said, Feng Yu Heng suddenly thought that the feeling that something would happen was most likely happening here .
But she had already spoken . In regards to her medical ability, archery and strange items, she had said that they had all come from her Persian master . In the capital, practically nobody was unaware of this . Even the people from outside the province had heard about it . And now, the eighth prince actually asked about it . Even if she knew that it was likely that there was a wicked trick waiting, she had no choice but to nod and admit it: “Naturally, it’s the truth . ”
But for the eighth prince, this was not the end, as he became enthusiastic in his questioning . Seeing that she had admitted to the origin of this pen, he then followed up: “This prince does not frequently come back to the capital, but I did see imperial daughter a few times in the early days . During my time away, this prince heard that Imperial Daughter Ji An has great abilities and brought out all kinds of interesting things and, more importantly, brought Da Shun the ability to produce steel . This prince also heard that all of this came from a Persian masters . This prince really is surprised . ” As he spoke, he raised his cup and gestured to Feng Yu Heng once more but did not insist that she also drink . He just took a sip on his own . When he put the jade cup down, there was a strange smile on his face .
Feng Yu Heng took these words in . Although she felt that this person speaking in a deliberately ambiguous manner had something planned in secret; however, she could not figure out what it might be . She could only calmly say: “Your Highness the eighth prince is giving too much praise . It’s said that seeing is better than a hundred rumors . Your Highness is often away, and the majority of the things that you’ve heard have been exaggerated . It’s better to frequently return to the capital and use your own eyes to verify things . ” After speaking, she sat down and slightly furrowed her brow to begin thinking .
This was just a small incident and the Emperor did not think anything of it . After this, there were some lower-ranked officials that came forward to present their gifts; however, it was no longer as restrained as earlier . The people down below could begin chatting amongst themselves, and there were people that got up to move around .
At Feng Yu Heng’s table, aside from her and Xuan Tian Ge, there were the official princesses of the princes . There were not many people, and at this time, they had headed over to where the imperial concubines were located . After all, with the princes’ birth mothers present, they would need to go over and spend some time with them as daughters-in-law . In a short period of time, the table emptied, and a young miss walked over . First, she saluted Feng Yu Heng then sat at Feng Yu Heng’s side without any unfamiliarity and said in a quiet voice: “Is it just a pen used for writing? Everyone says that Imperial Daughter Ji An gets money from all over, so why be so stingy in only giving His Majesty a pen? Even our family gave a set of glazed items!” After she finished speaking, she lifted her handkerchief and gently covered her mouth, giggling a couple times and acting to “cause trouble” without any attempt to hide it .
Feng Yu Heng looked at her curiously with a strange look: “Young miss, does your head hurt?”
“Hm?” The girl was stunned and lowered her handkerchief, “What does Imperial Daughter mean? My head does not hurt . ”
“With so much water in your head, it actually doesn’t hurt . Young Miss really is a wonder!” Feng Yu Heng put on a look of admiration, “How about opening it up to take a look . It wouldn’t be good if there was some water pooling there and it wasn’t discovered . It would be extremely troublesome . ”
The young miss did not manage to react, only asking: “What do you mean by open it up?”
Feng Yu Heng raised her hand and gestured on her head, “It’s just like this . Using a knife, your head gets cut open to see if there is anything extra or missing inside . Or if there is something wrong with the thing inside . Tsk tsk, I don’t know which family’s young miss this is . With a head like this, they actually dare to let you into the palace . Are you really not afraid that your family’s head won’t lose his position because of this?”
The young miss was given a scare by Feng Yu Heng’s words, and she subconsciously raised her hand to swipe at Feng Yu Heng . With this swipe, Feng Yu Heng brushed her hand away, and this just happened to shatter the jade cup in front of that girl . The cup shattered upon hitting the ground . Combined with Feng Yu Heng’s shriek, all of the gazes in Fei Cui Hall focused in this direction, including the Emperor’s .
Feng Yu Heng held her hand and put on a hurt expression while looking at the young miss, saying in a sad tone: “Which family’s young miss are you? Why are you hitting people? Even if you don’t like me, why did you break second sister-in-law’s cup? The cup is priceless . How can your family possibly pay for it?”
With her making this exclamation, a group of people stood up from the prince’s table, including the eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi, the second prince, Xuan Tian Ling, the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi, the sixth prince, Xuan Tian Feng, the seventh prince, Xuan Tian Hua, and the ninth prince, Xuan Tian Ming . Without exception, these princes were closer with Feng Yu Heng . There was naturally no need to mention the eldest prince, as Feng Yu Heng was a great benefactor for him . Even if the second prince did not interact much with Feng Yu Heng, did Feng Yu Heng not just mention her second sister-in-law? That was his wife . It was natural that he would need to take a look . The fourth prince was thinking of Xiang Rong and knew that the two sisters did not truly have a falling out, thus he also joined in on the fun . The sixth prince recently developed a feeling toward Feng Yu Heng that could not be clearly described . Of course, he would not be missing out . There was naturally no need to talk about the seventh and ninth prince, as they were family . Now, the only one sitting among the princes was the eighth prince, as he truly did not want to participate, only wanting to watch this entertaining situation unfold .
Hearing that Feng Yu Heng had been hit, Xuan Tian Ming was the first to lose it, “Who was it that dared to be so arrogant during this banquet? Not only did you break Princess Yuan’s cup, but you also hit Imperial Daughter Ji An?”
