Wang Chuan also leaned in close to Feng Yu Heng and said in a low voice: "It's the legitimate daughter of the Wen Xuan Palace, the Princess of Yun Yang, with the courtesy name Xuan Tian Ge." After thinking for a moment, he added: "The Wen Xuan King is the current emperor's biological younger brother and also the only remaining brother still alive today."
The phoenix feather is bright and clean, no wonder it has such a strong breath.
Feng Jin Yuan had actually been mentally prepared for some time. Since the Shen family had already reported to the Feng manor, but the other party still scolded her without any regard, there could only be two possibilities. One possibility was that the other party was a person from the jianghu who didn't understand what the Feng manor represented; the second possibility, which was the one Feng Jin Yuan least wanted to see, was that the other party had a higher status than him.
As the current Grand Councilor of the left, a first-rank official, it can be said that there is no one among the civil and military officials in the imperial court who he deigns to notice.
There is one kind of existence that is particularly deadly: royalty.
And he recently always provoked the royal relatives.
Here it comes again.
"Hey, Duke Feng, you've finally decided to show your face." The Marquis of Wuyang, standing on the carriage, looked at Feng Jueyuan with some disdain. "I thought you were going to hide in the carriage forever and let your wife scold my mother."
Feng Jin Yuan's head was big as soon as he heard it. The meaning of the words of the Princess of Wuyang County is that the Queen of Wen Xuan also sat in the carriage?
He hastily supported the old lady and stepped forward together, making a deep bow to the Princess of Wuyang: "I didn't know the princess was here..."
"Enough, stop spouting nonsense." Before he could finish speaking, the Princess of Wuyang interrupted him, "Tell those servile words to my mother, I'm asking you, what makes this pig dare to jump up and scold us? Is it because it thinks I'm easy to bully or that my mother is easy to bully? Or does it want to challenge my father's authority? We're all allowed to ride carriages in the imperial palace, and since I was young, even the Emperor uncle didn't dare scold me. Why should we be bullied by a pig outside the palace?"
She opened her mouth and closed it, just a pig, a pig. Feng Jin Yuan and the old lady listened to their temples jumping wildly, but they didn't dare say anything.
It wasn't just Shen who spoke first and scolded, but what she said was even more unpleasant than the words of the Princess of Wuyang. Even if it was a mistake on the part of the Wenxuan Wangfu, could their small arms as subjects overpower the legs of the Emperor's own brother? Isn't that absurd!
Feng Jin Yuan didn't say another word and immediately knelt down towards the carriage, bringing the old lady down with him. As they knelt, the other members of the Feng family couldn't remain standing either, so they quickly followed suit. Then, Feng Jin Yuan led the way, saying: "I didn't know that Your Highnesses were here, I, Feng Jin Yuan, represent my wife Shen to apologize to you, and hope that you will forgive us."
The old lady also followed and said: "It's the old woman who is not strict in her teachings, please forgive the Phoenix family for their disrespect to the princess."
The old lady's voice was trembling as she said this, and now she began to suspect that the jinx of the Feng family was not Feng Yuexiang, but Shen Shi. What does today's matter have to do with Feng Yuexiang? Shen Shi is a scourge!
The people in the carriage remained silent for a long time.
The originally arrogant Shen Shi also became dispirited, and another concubine was provoked by her. Although she was just a princess, as the wife of a first-rank official for so many years, she wasn't ignorant of everything. Not to mention the current emperor's brother, Emperor Wencheng, he himself had nine sons but no daughters, and in the household of Emperor Wencheng, there was a legitimate-born county lady who was doted on like anything. It is said that when she turns 15 and comes of age, she will be conferred as a princess.
It was such a person who was scolded by her, and scolded so badly. What's even more deadly is that the carriage also sat in someone else's daughter! The main wife of Wenxuan Wang!
Shen thought his life was almost over.
"Shen's family?" Finally, a voice came out of the carriage, still so noble and calm. "Feng Xiang, is this Shen's concubine of yours?"
Feng Jin Yuan looked at Shen Shi with disgust and reluctantly said: "She is my legitimate wife."
"Huh?" Wen Xuan Wang Fei raised an eyebrow, "Isn't the legitimate wife of the Feng family Yao Xiang Rou? I personally went to their house to add dowry for Yao Tai Yi's daughter when she married into your Feng household. How is it that after a few years, your legitimate wife has changed to someone else?"
Shen's teeth itched with hatred - after all these years, why was she still just a concubine in the eyes of outsiders?
Feng Jin Yuan was also quite embarrassed, the matter of the backyard of Feng's house had always been something he didn't dare to mention outside. No matter how the Yao family was, after all, the Emperor hadn't issued an edict to harm their already married daughter, yet they hastily drove her out and sent her to a remote mountain for three whole years, how could this be explained now?
"Hmph." Seeing him remain silent for a long time, a low hum came from the carriage, "So you don't want the good Xuan Rou, but instead put this thing in the main mother's position. I dare to ask, Feng Xiang, if you can't even manage your own household, how can you govern the country?"
"This remark is too severe, Feng Jin Yuan also frowned and replied solemnly: 'I am a scholar, I don't claim to be an expert in managing the imperial harem. Please forgive me, Your Highness. But as for court affairs, I have always been straightforward.'"
"Is that so." The queen completely ignored Feng Jin Yuan's displeasure and instead started chatting with her own daughter: "Tian Ge," she called out to the Princess of Wuyang, "your imperial uncle mentioned just the other day that he misses you. When we return to the capital from Putuo Temple, remember to visit him in the palace."
"Her Majesty can rest assured, Tian Ge remembers. The Emperor is most fond of Tian Ge and has never been willing to scold or beat her from childhood to adulthood. I recall when I was young, Father scolded me for being naughty, the Emperor was so angry that he refused to let him attend court for two months. If the Emperor knew someone had pointed at Tian Ge's nose and called her a worthless person today, he would definitely have that person skinned alive."
"County, County Master!" Shen's family was frightened, "County Master, I'm wrong! I didn't scold you, I was scolding myself! I'm a worthless person, I'm a big worthless person!"
The Shen family can't even care about their reputation anymore, they don't have any face left! If they had offended the concubine, perhaps there would still be a way to survive, but if they had offended the Emperor himself, it wouldn't just be her who dies, I'm afraid Chen Yu and Zi Hao won't live for long either!
"Milady!" Shen Shi wailed loudly, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, milady and the princess, I really know I was wrong... Waaaah..."
The Marquis of Wuyang couldn't take it anymore, "Empress Dowager, a pig is crying in front of me, how disgusting."
"The queen's voice was heard: 'Then send her back to the pigsty.'"
As soon as the words fell, two guards immediately came forward and dragged Shen back onto the carriage.
Feng Jin Yuan was also frightened by the words of the Lord of Wuyang County, and the old lady had already fallen to the ground.
Everyone knows that the Emperor dotes on the Princess of Wuyang, although it's not to the extent of the 9th Prince, but still, she's not someone to be trifled with! As the Princess said herself, even the Emperor can't bear to scold her, so why did Shen let her get scolded today?
"Your humble servant, begs the princess and the lady of the county to forgive." Feng Jin Yuan felt his face had been trampled underfoot, a dignified first-class official, yet he was subjected to such humiliation for a woman's family affairs.
The old lady suddenly had an idea, "Right, let Yao Shi come out and pay her respects to the princess." She nudged Feng Jiyuan with her elbow, "Quickly, quickly, have Yao Shi come out."
Feng Jin Yuan also reacted and quickly called out in a low voice, "Invite Madam Yao over." Yao Shi had connections with many nobles in the capital, which he was aware of. After all, the Yao family had been imperial physicians for generations, their roots ran too deep.
Feng Yu saw this little movement and felt unhappy in her heart. Why did Shen's family mess things up and want her mother to clean up the mess? Her father and grandmother were really thinking beautifully!
"Mother." She pulled down Yao's sleeve, "When others ask you something, just say it as it is, no need to cover up for anyone."
Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to Ah Huang."
Someone led Yao to the carriage of Princess Wenxuan, and the princess of Wuyang looked at Yao for a while before squatting down and asking her eagerly: "Are you the former Rongniang?" She was born two years earlier than Feng Yuhuang. At that time, the Yao family was still prosperous, and Yao was very close to Princess Wenxuan. After the princess of Wuyang was born, she could see Yao several times a month. It wasn't until three years ago that she suddenly went to the northwest and lost contact.
At this moment, Wu Yang called her Rou Yi, and Yao's tears fell down with a "pa" sound. It was hard for the child to still remember her.
"Fourth Aunt, don't cry!" The Princess of Wuyang hurriedly wiped away Yao Shi's tears. "Fourth Aunt, you haven't come to see Tian Ge for so many years, I thought you didn't like me anymore."
"Silly child." Mrs. Yao's tears wouldn't stop, "Aunt Rong thinks of you every day, but Aunt Rong has gone to a very faraway place and can't come back to the capital city."
A sigh also came from the carriage, and finally a little girl lifted up the curtain. Only to see that inside was a noblewoman wearing casual clothes who walked out, with the help of Xiaoren and Wuyang getting down from the carriage.
She was older than Yao by several years, and the two had always referred to each other as sisters. After a long separation, they met again and burst into tears upon seeing each other.
For a moment, everyone around was wiping away tears.
The old lady of the Feng family regretted her hasty decision in her heart, thinking that although the Shen family could bring wealth to the Feng family, the Yao family could provide another kind of support for Feng Jiyuan.
"My sister doesn't need to say anything, I understand." Finally stopping her tears, Princess Wen Xuan grabbed Yao Shi's hand and gave Feng Jin Yuan a fierce stare before turning her head to look at Feng Yu Huang and Feng Zi Rui.
Mrs. Yao hastily beckoned to them, and when Feng Yuexiang led Zi Rui to the front, she said: "Sister, look, Ah Huang and Zi Rui have grown up so big."
Feng Yu Huan had never seen Wen Xuan Wang Fei and Wu Yang Jun Zhu before. The original host was the eldest daughter of the legitimate birth, who left Feng Fu before, and every day, the Phoenix family arranged a lot of homework for her to study. In addition, the original host was also a medical enthusiast, as long as she had a little free time, she would go to Yao's house to pester Yao Lao Tai about medicine, where did she have time to visit with Yao Shi?
At that time, Yao's family often mentioned the Wen Xuan Wang Fu to her, but the original owner was a person who had never been in conflict with the world and did not like to deal with the powerful. Most of them just smiled and passed by, and didn't take it seriously at all.
But unexpectedly, it was under such circumstances that Feng Yuexia's soul replaced the original master to see this side.
She pulled Zi Rui down to make a bow, neither too familiar nor too distant, and said: "Ah Huang has seen the county princess sister and the queen."
The Empress smiled and said: "This child calls Tian Ge 'sister', but why does she call me 'Empress'?"
Yao said: "Ah Huang, call Lan aunt."
She then bowed again: "Ah Huang has seen Yun Shi."
Feng Zi Rui also learned to follow her example and pay respects, but she was like a miniature adult, with both hands clasped in fists, which made the Empress Dowager laugh and cry at the same time.
Finally, the years of separation have been somewhat alleviated. She glanced coldly at the Feng family and her expression turned solemn. The princess's demeanor was once again dignified: "In those days when my father suddenly fell ill, it was Doctor Yao who used his brilliant skills to bring him back from the gates of hell. From then on, our Ye family regarded the Yao family as benefactors. Feng Shu, do you know about this?"
Feng Jin's eyes twitched, Ye family? Yunlu Academy's Mountain Master, Imperial Teacher Ye Rong?
Cold sweat instantly drenched his entire body.
