Chapter 87: Introducing Feng Chenyus Matchmaker

  The commotion caused by Feng Chenyu made her the center of attention once again.

  The Empress Dowager Ding'an had long been aware that her dominance was being usurped by the concubine, and now seeing her stirring up trouble again, she couldn't help but turn even more solemn.

  The Qingle County Master sitting next to her twisted her fingers and muttered viciously: "The Feng family are indeed all cheap people."

  That fat woman who was scolded by Shen Yu, at this moment, also couldn't hold her face up anymore. She stood with her hands on her hips and glared at Shen Yu: "You are indeed the young lady of the Feng manor, but my husband is also a third-rank official in the imperial court. I saw that you look good, so I was kind-hearted and wanted to speak well of you for a marriage arrangement. My son who has been studying at Yunlu Academy and always ranks among the top fifty in the annual exams, might even get the title of Zhuangyuan next year, by then you'll be the one who can't marry into our family!"

  Feng Chenyu was so angry that her face turned green, thinking of saying "your son will be able to squeeze into the top fifty and you want to take the first place?" Even if he took the first place, my father is still the Grand Councilor, your family can't turn over this lifetime!

  The words had reached the tip of her tongue, but with a glance, she saw a figure in white robes walking over from the corridor connecting the garden and the front yard. The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back, replaced by a deep sense of grievance on her face, and tears welled up in her eyes: "This kind of thing requires parental orders and matchmaker's words, although you may have good intentions, Mrs., but Gu Nian is still an unmarried girl, how can you bring up this kind of thing with me? Where should I put my face?"

  The moment she put on a pitiful expression, she immediately captured a wave of sympathetic hearts.

  Think about it, yes, the other family has a big girl, if you want to talk about marriage, go to their house and tell the adults, don't discuss this directly with the girl's family, it's not proper.

  Moreover... a good-natured lady who liked to speak up for the underdog, Mrs. Tian, spoke up for Feng: "Mrs. Tian," she called out to that fat woman, "whether your son can become a top scholar or not is still unknown, but Miss Feng is the daughter of the current Grand Councilor, you are just a third-rank official, trying to climb up to marry into a first-rank official's family, isn't that being too presumptuous?"

  "Hmph!" The fat woman became displeased. "You're just a fourth-rank official's concubine, what qualifications do you have to look down on my family's humble official position?"

  "Hey!" The wife who liked to meddle in other people's business said, "Madam Tian, have you forgotten? Yesterday my husband was just promoted by the Emperor to a third-grade official of the senior rank, which is one grade higher than your husband's junior third-grade official!"

  The noise below finally made the Queen of Ding'an look down, and with a "bang" sound, she slapped her palm on the table in front of her, shaking the melons and fruits all over the floor. The music and dance also stopped due to the queen's anger, and for a moment, the scene was silent.

  "What are you doing here?" The Princess of Ding'an scowled at Feng Chenyu, "Miss Feng, I advise you to cover your face when going out in the future, lest you provoke people everywhere." Before Feng Chenyu could react, she turned to the two quarreling women and said, "The favors and grievances of your family's master in officialdom, if you want to make a scene, go back home and do it, don't show off your power in front of me at the Ding'an Wangfu!"

  As soon as Princess Ding'an got angry, the two officials' wives lost their momentum and stood up to salute and apologize: "The princess is right to scold."

  Chen Yu also opened a pair of tearful eyes and saluted Ding An Wang: "It's all Chen Yu's fault, please punish the king."

  Just then, a gentle and elegant voice said: "On the day of Princess Ding'an's birthday, how can we talk about punishment?"

  People flocked to see, and saw a young nobleman with two attendants walking along the garden path, dressed in white robes, wearing a white jade hairpin on his head, with a warm smile on his face, so elegant and gentle that it made people's hearts calm down at first sight.

  Phoenix sank into the fish's eyes with a hint of longing, but Queen Ding'an had already stood up and pulled Marquise Qingle down from her seat.

  But then he waved his hand and rushed to Princess Ding'an, saying: "I am representing the royal family to congratulate Princess Ding'an on her birthday, Your Highness doesn't need to be polite."

  Qing Le County's mistress also pulled the sleeve of Ding An Wang Fei and whispered: "Your status is not lower than his, why do you have to lower your posture?"

  The Princess of Ding'an finally calmed down and smiled at the newcomer, saying: "Thank you, Prince Chun, for your gracious presence. It's truly an honor for the Ding'an Wang Fu!"

  The newcomer is none other than Xuan Tian Hua, the Chun Wang.

  Feng Yu looked at Xuan Tian Hua, then looked at Feng Chen Yu again, and felt that at this moment, Feng Chen Yu finally had a bit of the shyness that a 14-year-old girl should have, and it wasn't even artificially put on like before.

  Can't help but sigh, Feng Chenyu has taken a liking to Xuan Tianhua, I wonder what kind of thoughts Feng Jiyuan would have if he were to find out about this feeling. Chenyu's mission is to become the empress, and Xuan Tianhua... has something to do with the throne?

  No matter how you look at it, it's incongruous. A refined person like him, how could he possibly be interested in that insignificant position.

  Feng Yu pinched up her shoulders and picked another fruit to take a bite.

  At this time, all the ladies in the room stood up again and began to pay their respects to Xuan Tianhua.

  She had to put down the fruit in her hand and stand up, following the crowd to say: "Wangye, may you live for a thousand years, a thousand years, and ten thousand years." Then she glanced sideways, as if seeing a group of young girls and women captured by Xuan Tianhua.

  Xuān Tiān Huá had long been accustomed to such scenes and was not moved in the slightest. He simply raised his hand slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Get up, all of you."

  People finally got up, and those usually reserved ladies didn't care about their dignity anymore, casting fiery glances at Xuan Tianhua. Some bold wives even joined in the excitement, flashing electric sparks at Xuan Tianhua.

  Feng Chenyu looked at these people, with a sentence stuck in her throat that almost came out - "You really have no shame!" She was unwilling to give up, took two steps forward, and gave a slight bow to Xuan Tianhua, saying in a soft voice: "Long time no see, Your Highness Wang, is everything all right?"

  As soon as these words came out, they immediately gained a lot of jealous glances.

  Such ambiguous words, when heard by others, would mean that the two were originally familiar with each other and had met recently.

  In the capital, who doesn't know that Chun Wang Gongzi is the most elegant among the nine princes? In the hearts of these ladies and young misses, he is a celestial being, to be admired from afar, not to be trifled with. What makes you, Feng Chen Yu, dare to profane this celestial being?

  Just as everyone was secretly ridiculing Feng Xue, King Xuan Tianhua was seriously looking at the woman in front of him who was talking to him, his eyes filled with inquiry, and he also looked for a long time.

  Xiang Rong couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and secretly tugged on Feng Yu Heng's sleeve, worriedly saying: "Seventh Prince wouldn't have taken a liking to big sister, would he?"

  Actually, it's not just Rong Yu who thinks this way, other madams and ladies are also worried. The Seventh Prince is indeed a kind person, but to study with a girl for so long, it's something that has never been heard of before.

  Feng Yu Huan shook her head at Xiang Rong: "Impossible. From my understanding of these seven princes, this person may look harmless, but you absolutely cannot mix up what he shows on the surface with what he actually wants to say and do. Don't believe me? ——” She nodded towards Xuan Tian Hua, “Look.”

  As expected, Xuan Tian Hua's inquiry from a moment ago quickly yielded results. He was heard asking Feng Chen Yu with some confusion: "May I ask which family's young lady you are? Has this king ever met you before?"

  Pfft!

  Everyone is delighted.

  Her elder sister said such ambiguous words, thinking that this King Xun would at least give the beauty some face, but unexpectedly, he didn't even remember who she was.

  The other ladies also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Feng Ciqiu with some sympathy.

  Phoenix Sinking Fish also had some unbearable things, but she couldn't get angry with Xuan Tianhua, so she could only try to adjust her emotions and said tightly: "I am the eldest daughter of the Phoenix Mansion, my name is Feng Chenyu, we met at the mansion a few days ago when the Crown Prince came."

  As soon as she mentioned this, people remembered that the other day, Chun Wang had gone to Feng Fu with the Emperor, and it seemed like they were sending off the Emperor's fiancée back home.

  Xuān Tiān Huá also remembered, and smiled as he nodded his head, "Miss says so, this king remembers now, does Miss Feng come to celebrate the birthday of Queen Ding An today too?"

  Feng Chenyu was overjoyed to see Xuan Tianhua and eagerly took two steps forward, saying: "Yes! I didn't know Your Highness would be coming today, so I should have gone to pay my respects earlier."

  Xuantian Hua replied faintly, "Phoenix Young Miss is too polite." He then looked around and asked in puzzlement, "Is it only Phoenix Young Miss who has come from the Phoenix family? Has my younger sister visited?"

  As soon as Xuan Tian Hua mentioned Feng Yu Hu, Chen Yu's face turned cold, but he still said: "Second sister and third sister have also arrived." After all, not wanting to change the subject to Feng Yu Hu so quickly, Chen Yu hastily invited Xuan Tian Hua: "Your Highness is here to celebrate Ding An Wang Fei's birthday, please take a seat!"

  Her words made Princess Ding'an very satisfied. That's right! Today she is the protagonist, you people from the Feng family hurry up and get out of my way!

  Xuantian Hua also nodded and said to Queen Ding'an, "Every year at the queen's birthday banquet, Father Emperor will send one of us brothers to congratulate the queen. This year I came over and brought the birthday gifts personally prepared by Father Emperor and Mother Empress, which have been handed over to the front yard child officer, wishing the queen a happy and healthy longevity."

  Queen Ding'an laughed so hard that her face was blooming with flowers, and her originally wrinkled face looked even uglier at this moment. However, she didn't notice it at all, and just kept laughing loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor and Empress Dowager! Thank you, Prince Ye! Please take a seat, Prince Ye!" She said while making way for Xuan Tianhua to take her main seat.

  Xuan Tianhua, however, did not step forward and merely said politely: "Today is the birthday of the Wangfei, so she should take the seat of honor. I was originally in the front courtyard with the Wangye at the same table, but came over to wish the Wangfei a happy birthday and have some tea before leaving. The Wangfei can just sit back and relax, while I chat with my younger siblings below." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and accurately found Feng Yuexia's location, walking over step by step while saying: "When I was about to leave, Ninth Brother told me that he wanted to bring you some pastries made by the new imperial chef in the palace. I had someone send them to your Tongsheng Pavilion when I went out."

  One sentence not only expressed that he and Feng Yuexian were truly familiar, but also told everyone how much his ninth brother valued this princess who had not yet entered the palace, even remembering to bring her delicious pastries made by the new chef in the palace.

  Feng Yu Huan also smiled and replied: "Thank you, Seventh Brother." With one term of endearment, 'Seventh Brother', their relationship drew closer.

  These ladies' jealousy instantly shifted from Feng Chenyu to Feng Feihuang, but after being jealous for a while, they felt that these two were actually relatives. The Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince were both raised by Queen Yun, with feelings like siblings, so it was natural for them to be closer to Feng Feihuang.

  The jealousy that had just been transferred was transferred back again.

  At this moment, Feng Chenyu still had the nerve to leave her original position, with a face that was both excited and shy, and rubbed against Feng Yuhuang.
