Chapter 81 (1/2)
Feng Yu Heng frowned deeply.
“Wow!” The girl who was eating the steamed bun was still chewing a mouthful when she hurriedly said: “You’re the Feng Yu Heng who secured the ninth prince?” As she spoke, she extended an oily hand: “Hello, my name is…” As she spoke, she realized that this hand was much too unsightly. Quickly pulling her hand back, she wiped it on her dress then extended her hand once more. “My name is Feng Tian Yu1. My father is also a prime minister in the court, and is an enemy of your father’s.”
A bunch of black lines appeared on Feng Yu Heng’s forehead once more, what sort of connections did Xuan Tian Ge’s friends have? She also quickly reached out and shook her hand, “So that’s how it is. Hello enemy’s daughter.”
“Oh ho.” Feng Tian Yu giggled and said, “How interesting! Two prime ministers, one surnamed Feng and the other is surnamed Feng.”1
Feng Yu Heng nodded, “I sincerely hope that the strong wind of your family can blow away my family’s phoenix. The further it gets blown away, the better.”2
Feng Tian Yu blinked a few times, “If the phoenix were blown away, wouldn’t you need to follow it?”
“Hardly.” Feng Yu Heng raised the corners of her lips, “I am Prince Yu’s princess. What happens to the phoenix has nothing to do with me.”
“That’s right.” Another girl wearing a pink dress nodded, whole-heartedly agreeing with what Feng Yu Heng had said, “Being able to share happiness is fate. Being able to share bitterness will depend on mutual affection. Who doesn’t know how the Feng family treats A-Heng. When they run in to hard times, for what reason should they force A-Heng to suffer with them?” As she spoke, she waved to Feng Yu Heng: “My name is Ren Xi Feng. I am the daughter of General Ping Nan.”
Feng Yu Heng also smiled and greeted her: “I heard his Highness mention it before. His Highness said that great General Ren’s application of the art of war is truly exquisite. He made use of him quite often during his previous expedition to the Northwest.”
Ren Xi Feng giggled and waved her hand, “His Highness the ninth prince is too kind. My father is the one who praises him as a young hero.” Ren Xi Feng looked at Feng Yu Heng. No matter how she looked, she felt that she was quite cordial, “In truth, when we met when we were young, but you do not remember it, and I do not remember it either.”
Feng Yu Heng pondered a little, “But the people of our family should have met during out infancy?”
Ren Xi Feng nodded, “But of course. Yesterday, when Tian Ge came to see me at the manor, she mentioned you, and my father spoke of how imperial physician Yao had come to the general’s manor as a guest. He had coming carrying you. At that time, you were only eight months old, and I was only ninth months old.”
Feng Yu Heng wanted to say that they really were childhood sweethearts! Before she could tell this joke, Xuan Tian Ge said: “You two chatty people wait for a moment. Let Fu Rong introduce herself to A-Heng!” As she spoke, she pushed forward a slightly timid girl, “Fu Rong, speak.”
The girl called Fu Rong looked at Feng Yu Heng with an extremely shy smile, “Greetings, young miss Feng. My name is Bai Fu Rong.”
Feng Yu Heng saw that this girl did not act as familiar as the others in calling her A-Heng. Her clothes were not as good as the others. The maidservant at her side was very normal and could not be compared to those of a royal’s manor, a prime minister’s manor, nor a general’s manor. She had a few guesses, with most being that this girl’s father did not hold a very high ranking. He did not have the ability to have live extraordinarily, and could not provide too much for this girl.
But regardless the circumstances, since this girl got along with the others, she should not be from a normal family.
“Just call me A-Heng!” Feng Yu Heng said, extending her hand to pinch that girl’s face. Oh dear, this girl’s puffy face was very round and very interesting.
“Mad man!” Just as she thought this girl was shy, who knew that having her cheeks pinched would immediately reveal her true personality, “Xuan Tian Ge, each of the friends you invite is the same. Each time I meet one, they all pinch my cheeks.”
“Uh….” Feng Yu Heng looked at the others, “What, you have also done this?”
Ren Xi Feng nodded, “If there is anything to blame, blame your cheeks for being so puffy. Tell me, when it looks like that, who wouldn’t want to pinch them!”
Feng Tian Yu also agreed: “At that time, I lightly scratched her face, but this girl actually bit me.”
Feng Yu Heng wiped off some sweat. Sure enough, sure enough, Xuan Tian Ge, your friends really are the same.
Xuan Tian Ge laughed so hard that her belly hurt. Pointing at Fu Rong, she said: “Either keep the act up or just act intrepidly. You always look like a small white sheep, but the truth is you’re a big grey wolf. Don’t you find it tiring?”
Bai Fu Rong did not find it tiring at all, “My mother said that if I don’t act like a little white sheep, I will never get married. If you don’t believe me, look at yourself. Aside from A-Heng, which one of you was wanted for marriage?”
This analysis was one hundred percent accurate. These words completely shut down the other three. Bai Fu Rong then said to Feng Yu Heng: “A-Heng, do not be like them! They are all wolves. Um, that’s right. My family can not compare to theirs. My father is just a jewelry craftsman and does not have any rank. As for me, thanks to these young misses not minding, the days are spent eating and drinking with them.”
Feng Yu Heng was quite satisfied with this Bai Fu Rong! She had no spectacular background, yet she could still speak so freely. This was truly someone who was free.
The girls hit it off and immediately decided to go to Refined Deity Building for a celebration.
Xuan Tian Ge said that she would take care of everything, so Bai Fu Rong fiercely said that she wanted to the most expensive Long Jing shrimp.
After the girls arrived at Refined Deity Building, aside from the dishes that they had ordered, the shopkeeper sent basically every signature dish over, making them confused.
Xuan Tian Ge grabbed the waiter’s ear as he was bringing the dishes and asked: “What are you wanting to do? This sovereign may have money, but I will not be extorted by you, ok?”
But the waiter said: “Sovereign, these dishes were not sent for you. These were offered by the shopkeeper to the princess. The shopkeeper said that it is not often that princess comes here, so the best wine and best foods must be brought up here for the princess to enjoy.”
Only then did they understand. It turned out that these foods were brought for Feng Yu Heng!
