Chapter 716 – Xiang Rong’s Understanding of Old Fourth



Feng Yu Heng smiled like a criminal, “Why is it that when I brought up finding a partner, seventh brother thought of Xiang Rong? Could it be that you’re yearning for that girl?”

Xuan Tian Hua smiled bitterly and asked Xuan Tian Ming: “What exactly is going on inside this girl’s mind all day?”

How could Xuan Tian Ming know what this girl was thinking. He just helplessly shook his head and spread his arms to express that he could do nothing.

Only then did Xuan Tian Hua say to Feng Yu Heng: “The reason I thought of your third sister is that you keep wanting to push her to my side. Secondly, I also very rarely interact with girls. Aside from Tian Ge, I can’t think of another one.”

Feng Yu Heng smirked: “Tian Ge is your younger sister and does not count.” She then came up with a thought, “If seventh brother does not like Xiang Rong, there is another choice.”

The two were puzzled: “Who else is there?”

She said: “Feng Zhao Lian.”

Xuan Tian Hua was speechless, “Forget it, let’s go with Xiang Rong!”

Thus Feng Yu Heng laughed loudly and told Bai Ze to head to the Feng residence first to pick the person up. Bai Ze just heard the sound of laughter coming from inside the carriage, and he did not know what they were laughing at, but the corners of his lips also began to curl up without him noticing. Huang Quan told him: “Miss Bai has gotten much better. Young miss said that she will be the same as before by the new year.” Bai Ze smiled even more widely.

The imperial carriage arrived at the Feng residence’s entrance, and Huang Quan leaped down to invite Xiang Rong. Not long later, however, Fen Dai came out from inside. She had changed out of the clothes that she had worn during the day, and she was now wearing a long, pink dress. It was very beautiful.

Feng Yu Heng’s mood was very good on this night. Leaning out of the window, she saw and shouted: “Fourth sister, are you going out to look at the lanterns? Your clothes are quite pretty.” After she spoke, she looked down the other side of the road, “His Highness the fifth prince’s carriage still has not yet come. Why don’t you wait a little longer inside?”

Fen Dai saw Feng Yu Heng, and her mood immediately plummeted. Her self-control also got a bit worse, as she furrowed her brow and looked over with a contemptuous gaze. She had been thinking that because this was His Highness the ninth prince’s imperial carriage, it would be best to not speak too much and suffer a loss. But she had opposed Feng Yu Heng since she was young, and it had become a habit. Now that Feng Yu Heng was in front of her and had taken the initiative to speak, how could she accept it if she did not say a few words? Either way, His Highness the fifth prince would be arriving shortly. No matter how arrogant the ninth prince was, he would not choose to not give any face to his elder brother, right?

Thinking like this, Fen Dai gained a bit of courage. Lifting her dress, she took a couple steps in Feng Yu Heng’s direction and said with great enmity: “Second sister is in a good mood. What is it, are you going to see the lanterns?”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “Naturally. I came to pick up Xiang Rong.”

Hearing that she was picking up Feng Xiang Rong, Fen Dai became even angrier. They were both sisters born from other mothers, so why did Xiang Rong get all of the benefits, while she did not get anything?

“Hmph!” Fen Dai snorted coldly, “The Yao family is conducting a funeral today. That Lu Yao is also considered second sister’s cousin-in-law. Instead of standing vigil for the funeral, you actually don’t feel any shame in strolling the streets?”

Feng Yu Heng pondered for a bit then nodded, “If you say it that way, it really is a bit inappropriate to wander around in the streets today.”

“That’s right.” Fen Dai sneered while looking at her, “Then won’t second sister quickly go back?”

“Alright.” Feng Yu Heng was very frank, “I should go back to stand vigil. Then fourth sister should also quickly return to your room and change out of these joyous clothes into mourning clothes. Second sister will wait for you here. After you’ve gotten changed, we’ll go to the Yao manor together.”

Fen Dai was puzzled, “Why must I go? You’re from the Yao family. I’m not!”

“Where are these words coming from?” Feng Yu Heng put on a stern expression and began lecturing her, “Both of us have the surname Feng. We are both children of the Feng family. Look, second sister is the daughter of the first wife. According to Da Shun’s rules, the daughters of a concubine of a family will share ancestors with the children of the first wife. The maternal family will be based on the children of the first wife. That’s why Lu Yao is not just my cousin-in-law. She was also yours and Xiang Rong’s cousin-in-law. Fourth sister, don’t be so courteous. Quickly go back and get changed. In a moment, when His Highness the fifth prince arrives, we can also bring him to pay respects.”

With these words being said, Fen Dai withered. Feng Yu Heng was completely right. If things were really analyzed, she should be going with her. If Feng Yu Heng had to stand vigil, she would also be affected and need to stand vigil. Whose fault was it that Feng Yu Heng was of the first wife, and she herself was of a concubine.

The division between the two positions caused Fen Dai to grit her teeth. What could she do? Han shi had already died, thus she could never hope to obtain the position of daughter of the first wife in this life. She could not help but hate Da Shun’s damn rules. In her mind, a thought suddenly appeared. If the fifth prince was able to become the ruler, would he be able to change this sort of rule? Also, at that time, she would be the official princess and would naturally become the empress. She would be the mother of the world. Who would dare to look down on her?

As she thought and thought, the corners of her lips began to curl up. Her entire person became spirited.

Feng Yu Heng still leaned out of the window and watched on. How could the change in Fen Dai’s expression escape her eyes. She just could not understand, was this child really that innocent? Where exactly did her flowery and bright thoughts come from?

“I heard that even the people of the Lu family did not have much of a reaction and did not head to the Yao manor. Then second sister should go and view the lanterns!” Fen Dai suddenly gave up on her earlier methods and changed her plans, “Seeing the lanterns is good. It only comes around once each year. Second sister should enjoy herself properly.” After speaking, she lifted her dress and cheerfully headed toward the carriage that was slowly coming over.

Feng Yu Heng lowered the curtain and spread her arms to say to the people inside: “That girl most likely thought of becoming the mother of the world and placing me, the daughter of the first wife, under her feet while changing Da Shun’s rules. Hah, just look at her joyful appearance. As her elder sister, I really feel too embarrassed to shatter her dreams in front of her. After all, having dreams is a good thing. What if they come true someday!”

“Is that even possible?” Xuan Tian Ming said with disdain: “Who knows what the daughters of the Feng family are taught from childhood. Why do they all want to be the empress?”

Xuan Tian Hua was also exasperated: “Do they really think that the position of empress is an easy one? Or do they feel that being the empress is very relaxing? How could being the mother of the world be as easy as just saying it. The burden placed on those shoulders is not something that anyone can imagine.”

Xuan Tian Ming quickly stopped him from continuing: “Don’t pour a bucket of cold water on the girl. What if she gets frightened and gives up halfway, the old man would end up going crazy.”

Xuan Tian Hua was stunned and finally realized that the future empress of Da Shun was likely to be Feng Yu Heng, and he could not say whether she should be happy or not. After thinking a bit, he calmed himself down and reminded her: “In the future, when you’ve entered the palace and become the empress, you won’t be able to do things as you have.”

Feng Yu Heng frowned, “Then how about not taking the position?”

“You’ve got flowery thoughts.” These words were said by Xuan Tian Ming and Xuan Tian Hua in unison. Xuan Tian Hua then advised her, “Just do it. If you don’t take the position of empress, perhaps there is nobody in Da Shun that can do it.”

While they spoke, Xiang Rong had already arrived outside the carriage. They heard her say to Huang Quan: “It’s fortunate that second sister arrived a moment earlier. Any later, and I fear that I would have been taken away by Xuan Tian Yi.”

Huang Quan’s voice could then be heard: “Wasn’t it said that His Highness the fourth prince can’t leave the palace? What is it, because he entered the palace during the day, he can also stroll the streets at night?”

Xiang Rong said: “In his dreams. If he dares to stroll the streets, let’s see if the Emperor won’t break his legs. But that person is also able to pull out some weird ideas. Who knows if he won’t end up setting up a lantern festival in the Ping Palace.”

Listening to the words of the person outside the carriage, Xuan Tian Hua was a bit shocked. With an inquisitive gaze, he looked at Feng Yu Heng. The look in his eyes clearly said, “This is Feng Xiang Rong?”

She nodded. Indeed, this was Feng Xiang Rong.

Outside, Bai Ze had already lifted the curtain and invited Xiang Rong up. Xiang Rong lowered her head and climbed into the carriage while calling Feng Yu Heng: “Second sister.” After that, she added: “Second brother-in-law.”

Xuan Tian Ming nodded in satisfaction, “Un, this prince feels that appellation is quite good.”

Xiang Rong immediately said: “Xuan Tian Yi taught me that. He said that Your Highness would definitely be happy.” The girl that had climbed in halfway looked up and was asking Feng Yu Heng: “If second sister was going to see the lanterns, why did you...”

Thunk!

Looking up, Xuan Tian Hua immediately entered Xiang Rong’s line of sight. The little girl lost her balance and fell back down the steps.

Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, “How are you so lacking in caution!”

Xiang Rong cried. She also wanted to be careful, but... She glared at Huang Quan and quietly said: “Why did you not tell me earlier that His Highness the Seventh Prince was also present?”

Huang Quan felt wronged, “This servant wanted to give you a pleasant surprise!”

“Where’s the pleasant? It’s all surprise!” Xiang Rong cried without any tears. Her butt hurt from the fall. This appearance was as ugly as possible. Were there any cracks in the ground? Could she crawl into one? She did not want to be seen like this by the seventh prince! How shameful!

“Give me your hand.” Suddenly, a voice that clearly came from above drifted over. Immediately following this, a beautiful hand appeared in front of her. The white sleeve brushed past her cheeks, causing Xiang Rong’s cheeks to immediately turn red. But that voice continued to speak: “Give me your hand. I’ll pull you up.”

She looked up slightly and saw the deity-like person leaning over and standing outside the imperial carriage. The round moon of the 15th hung in the sky, illuminating his refined appearance. In that instant, Xiang Rong felt that if she really extended her hand, she would have blasphemed this deity.

She hesitated and sat on the ground. At this time, however, she heard another carriage rushing over from the other side of the road. Feng Yu Heng kindly pulled Xuan Tian Ming and exited the carriage. She immediately recognized the carriage, as it had the Ping Palace’s sign.

If she recognized the Ping Palace’s carriage, Xiang Rong recognized it even better. In just this glance, it was as though the girl had suffered a huge shock. She did not worry about whether or not Xuan Tian Hua was a deity. She reached out her hand, and Xuan Tian Hua pulled her up toward the imperial carriage.

Xiang Rong did not wait for the others to wave to her. Lowering her head, she dove into the carriage. Only when she sat furthest inside the carriage did she hear the servant from the Ping Palace loudly shout: “Please wait. Third Young Miss, please wait. His Highness the Fourth Prince has set up some lanterns in the Ping Palace and invited you to take a look!”

Everyone facepalmed. Feng Xiang Rong, you really know old fourth!
