Chapter 86: Feng Chens Fish Stew Has Been Messed Up

  Because of this sentence, Feng Yu Heng took a few more glances at the garden. Her evaluation was: Common! Too common!

  It seems that Ding An Wang's family also has no taste, planting some common and vulgar flowers that can't even be appreciated. The colors are also mismatched, with bright red and pink clashing together, making it look chaotic. I don't know what kind of garden they had in the past that was several times better than this one, but Xuan Tian Meng's criticism is a bit too harsh.

  As soon as the Ninth Prince was mentioned, someone looked at Feng Yuexiang with envy and said: "Miss Feng is really lucky. On that day, the Ninth Prince went to the Feng Mansion to offer a big betrothal gift, everyone in the capital knew about it. I heard that the Ninth Prince also gave Miss a house?"

  Feng Yu Huan but smiled and did not speak.

  Someone else said, "What's the big deal about a house? I heard that among the betrothal gifts there are Guanghan silk, Liangren brocade, Shu Yunjin, Ruoye gauze and Ruan Yan Luo, these five treasures! And it's not just one piece, there are many!"

  Girls from good families all like beautiful clothes, as soon as they hear about Wu Bao, their eyes are wide with excitement.

  Feng Yu Huan didn't want to discuss her betrothal gifts with them any further, so she took the initiative to speak up and bring back the previous topic: "You said that this garden was rebuilt after being burned down, then why did Ding An Wang's estate get burned down for no reason?"

  There was a young lady from a fourth-rank official's family who knew some inside information and spoke out: "Of course, she wasn't happy! That year, the King of Ding'an was furious when he entered the palace, and with one imperial decree, he accused the Ninth Prince to the Emperor."

  "What did His Majesty say?" The curious people asked simultaneously.

  The fourth miss continued: "His Majesty said to the King of Ding'an, 'You can't even take care of a king's mansion, and you still have the nerve to come here and file a complaint with me?'"

  "Hahaha!" The words made everyone in the scene laugh, and Feng Yuexian couldn't help but laugh along.

  "More, more!" The young lady saw that everyone was enthusiastic and also became interested. "Due to the emperor's words, King Ding'an returned and ordered many guards to watch over the palace, with several hundred people. Then the emperor punished him for the crime of privately recruiting soldiers."

  Hmph!

  Feng Yu Huan burst out laughing this time, she finally knew that Xuan Tian Ming and Xuan Tian Ge's personalities were inherited from whom, it turned out that this was a blood inheritance!

  They were chatting and laughing on this side, while in the corridor opposite, Feng Chenyu was standing face to face with Qing Yue, not knowing what to say. As soon as Feng Yuexiang looked over, she saw Chenyu standing under the corridor, her arms wrapped around her body, obviously frozen.

  It's true, on a autumn day, standing in the sun is still okay, but once you stand in a shaded area, it really gets cold. And to make matters worse, Shen Yu wore thin clothes for the sake of looking good, with an open collar that wasn't small either. Qing Le also didn't seem to be letting her go anytime soon, chatting nonstop for half a day without showing any signs of sending Shen Yu off.

  Xiang Rong gently tugged at the hem of Feng Yu's clothes and whispered, "Second sister, they're all here to celebrate Ding An Wangfei's birthday. Is it right for us to discuss other people's family affairs behind their backs like this?"

  Feng Yu Huan spread out her hands, "It seems like every year it's always been this way. Otherwise, you see those palace maids, they clearly heard everything, but no one comes to manage them, not even a strange expression."

  Xiang Rong sighed, "It seems that this Ding An Wang's reputation is really not good. In the past, I didn't often go out and didn't have any friends I knew, I didn't expect the outside world to be just like home..."

  Feng Yu Huan smiled, "Yes, every household has its own power struggles, the Feng manor is never at peace. The Ding An Wang Fu can't be any better off either. If they were doing well, how could they have invited such rumors?"

  She leaned back and rested against a small tree, plucking two handfuls of flowers from the edge, looking at Feng Chenyu and Qing Le, thinking that these two people gathering together would probably not discuss anything good, and eight out of ten chances it was related to her. The resentment accumulated by Feng Chenyu in recent days must have an outlet for venting, I don't know if Qing Le will join forces with her.

  In the corridor downstairs, Qing Le and Feng Chen Yu's conversation had actually come to an end. However, Feng Chen Yu tried to leave several times but was kept back by Qing Le with this and that matter.

  She has a clear understanding of the situation. Although it is said that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, this Qing Yue obviously also has no small amount of hostility towards her. The two may be able to cooperate, but they cannot get along.

  She turned her head away, not wanting to see Qing Le clearly, but her eyes began to search around in the garden.

  Qing Le looked at Feng Chen Yu's searching expression and couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking for?"

  Chen Yu hastily withdrew his gaze and perfunctorily replied, "Nothing."

  The flowers in early autumn are very beautiful, especially those planted in the Ding'an Wangfu, all of which are bright and bold colors. Coupled with the countless young ladies and noblewomen who came here today, it's truly dazzling to the point of being eye-searing.

  The birthday banquet of Princess Ding'an had been prepared and everyone was led by the maids from the mansion to their respective seats.

  Xiang Rong and Fen Dai were arranged together, while Chen Yu was arranged on the other side.

  Feng Yu Huan heard a girl she didn't know muttering to herself: "Sigh, all the girls opposite us are legitimate daughters." Only then did she understand that in ancient times, the four words "distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children" were deeply ingrained.

  At this birthday banquet, both male and female guests were invited. The female guests sat in the garden, while the male guests were in the front yard.

  Until everyone was seated, the little girl had rearranged the fruit and tea on each table. Feng Yu Heng surprisingly discovered that every other table had an abundance of fruit, pastries, and tea, but her table only had a small amount of unappetizing fruit and no tea. The fruit looked like it had been deliberately picked for its ugliness.

  Jian Xiang Rong furrowed her brow, and she smiled reassuringly: "Don't be afraid, let's see what kind of tricks the Ding An Wang Fu can come up with."

  As soon as she finished speaking, a maid's voice was heard shouting, "The Princess of Ding'an has arrived!"

  As the sound faded away, a beautifully dressed imperial concubine emerged from a small path on the side of the main hall, surrounded by a crowd of attendants. Her steps were steady and deliberate, just like an actor's exaggerated stage stride, and it took her half the time it takes to burn a stick of incense to walk down the short path.

  The queen consort ascended to the throne, and all the guests stood up in unison, turned around to face the throne, bowed down and said in unison: "Greetings to the Queen Consort, wishing you a happy new year every year, and a happy today every day."

  Queen Ding'an was extremely pleased with the grand scene of everyone paying their respects, especially since today's guests included the eldest daughter of a high-ranking official of the current dynasty. This made her feel doubly proud. She couldn't help but sit up straight and enjoy it for a while before reluctantly raising her hand: "You may all rise."

  Feng Yu's smile faltered, and she straightened her back. She really dared to use those words.

  After sitting down, she finally had a chance to take a closer look at the princess and was almost moved to tears.

  Is this the mother of Qingyue County Master? Why does she look even older than the old lady from the Feng family? Not only is she old, but her complexion is also yellow and nauseating, and she's thin, completely wasting this magnificent attire, unable to hold herself up.

  Xiang Rong also felt that this princess was really ugly and couldn't help but turn her head away, not wanting to look again.

  The same queen, Ding An Wangfei and Wen Xuan Wangfei, had a huge difference in momentum.

  At the same time that these two sisters were observing Princess Ding'an, Princess Ding'an was also paying attention to the children of the Feng family who came to attend her birthday banquet for the first time. Of course, the main one is the eldest daughter of the Feng family.

  Just as the gaze of Princess Ding'an fell on a stunning pink figure, her two eyebrows, which were already not good-looking, instantly twisted together, and a sentence blurted out without thinking - "Whose new bride is that?"

  There was a lady drinking water who spat it out without swallowing when she heard this sentence.

  Bride! The queen's metaphor is so apt, just like the description of Qing Le County Master is exactly the same.

  Feng Chenyu's face sank slightly as she stood up again and said, "I am Feng Chenyu."

  Ding An Wangfei was taken aback for a moment, Feng Chen Yu? She is actually the legitimate daughter of the Feng family?

  Looking again, I couldn't help but secretly admire her. She was really too beautiful, even someone like her who had always been very critical of the same sex couldn't help but think that Feng Chenyu was truly stunning.

  But even if you look good in it, wearing this to my birthday banquet is a bit too much, isn't it?

  The complexion of Queen Ding'an also didn't look good, "So it's the young lady from the Feng family, Young Lady Feng dresses like this when going out, and Lord Feng didn't stop her at all?"

  As soon as the words of Princess Ding'an came out, the ladies and young ladies sitting below also started discussing. The eldest lady of the Feng family dressed herself up like this, which was obviously not giving face to Princess Ding'an! She looked good, but Princess Ding'an was old and ugly, and Feng Shen Yu dressing up like this to visit her was clearly intentional humiliation.

  Phoenix is also wronged, this is her first time seeing the Queen of Ding'an, who knows that the dignified queen would grow up to be like this. Moreover, she dresses well for the sake of Feng's family reputation, let alone it's not for this old lady to see.

  "At home, we attach great importance to the longevity banquet of the princess, and before leaving, we specifically instructed my sisters and me to dress up and attend, which is considered a respect for the Ding'an Wangfu." Shen Yu was not stupid either. She had been helping Shen Shi make excuses since she was young, and this kind of verbal official business she could still handle.

  As expected, the moment she said that, Princess Ding'an was delighted. She hastily invited Chen Yu to take a seat and then gestured to the little maid beside her, and the music and dance performance on stage began.

  Feng Yu picked two not-too-bad fruits, ate one herself and handed one to Xiang Rong, then looked through the crowd at the commotion on Chen Yu's side.

  There were some ladies who were hastening to get close to Shen Yu, they didn't care whether Shen Yu was giving face to Ding An Wangfei or slapping Ding An Wangfei in the face, all they knew was that this was the legitimate daughter of a first-class aristocratic family, and it was necessary to curry favor with her.

  One was offering tea, another was presenting fruit, and there were also those sending pastries, and even some sending silver notes and jade accessories. For a time, Chen Yu became the most popular person in the scene, and it looked like Princess Ding'an's eyes had turned red again.

  Phoenix sinks fish For these people who take the initiative to come to the door, they all responded with kind and harmless smiles, generous and dignified, and the Bodhisattva's face was put on again.

  Ke Feng Yu Huan saw impatience in her eyes.

  It's not that they're not, they're all merchant families or fourth- or fifth-grade official families. It would be strange if Feng Chenyu could look down on them, but she didn't dare to turn her face because of her own image.

  But she couldn't bear it anymore, and after a stout woman who was as fat as Shen's wife spoke up, she suddenly stood up and pointed at the woman, shouting loudly: "How dare you! How can someone like you get into the palace?"
