Chapter 93 (2/2)

Calling her princess, they were without a doubt people from Prince Yu’s palace.

Wang Chuan quickly introduced them: “Young miss, this is the manor’s dedicated tailor, who came to measure young miss and third young miss’ for clothing.”

Xiang Rong did not think that the tailor would come so quickly. Clothing made of refined cloud silk, she really worried that she could not bear to wear them. Putting them up for display would be best.

The tailor very quickly measured the bodies of the two young misses. Wang Chuan also fetched two bolts of the fabric for them to take away.

Xiang Rong felt a great joy in her heart but had nowhere to release it. She very hurriedly bid farewell to Feng Yu Heng, saying she had to go tell concubine mother An, so that she could feel happy.

Feng Yu Heng did not stop her. She was, in the end, a ten-year old child, so she should have such feelings.

After Xiang Rong left, she remembered something. Lowering her head, looked at her shoes. When she ran this morning, the shoes did not feel very comfortable. She simply ordered for a servant to bring her a new pair of shoes. After putting on the new pair, she handed the old pair to Wang Chuan: “Bring it to Fen Dai and say that I am giving this to her.”

Wang Chuan covered her mouth and smiled for a while, saying: “The shoes young miss gifted last time, concubine mother Han did not even dare to have fourth young miss look at them. She should be afraid of the fourth young miss throwing another tantrum.”

“Who cares.” Feng Yu Heng shrugged and smiled, “This time, personally deliver them to Fen Dai and tell her that the dowry was traded for these. Tell her not to feel unwilling to play with them, big sister has plenty.”

“This servant understands.” Wang Chuan raised the shoes and left the room.

Feng Yu Heng could almost predict what sort of reaction Fen Dai would have upon seeing these shoes, but that had nothing to do with her. The seeds that are planted determine the fruits that are harvested. That Feng Fen Dai was already quite evil from such a young age. Did she really take her as someone who was easy to bully?

That night, Ban Zou returned from some unknown place and handed Feng Yu Heng a bag of pastries, telling her: “These few days, his Highness went to the military barracks at Feng Tai. These were purchased along the way, as he returned.”

Feng Yu Heng had a hard time clearly understanding Ban Zou’s movements and held her forehead: “Ban Zou, how many places do you visit every day? If I meet with some danger, could you still come and go as you please?”

Ban Zou replied very naturally: “Master is in the manor. Ban Zou will sometimes go over to the prince’s side. Once master leaves the manor, Ban Zou will not leave your side.”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, this was very good.

“Eunuch Zhang wanted this servant to pass along a message. He said that the medicine master gave last time was very effective. He kneels in thanks for princess’ grace.”

This matter made Feng Yu Heng very happy. After thinking to herself for a while, she said: “I will prepare some more medicine later, and you can bring to to eunuch Zhang.”

“Yes.” Master, may I ask you what you mean by “prepare?” Ban Zou sniffled slightly but resisted the urge to ask. In a flash, he returned to his hiding spot.

Feng Yu Heng opened the bag of pastries and picked up a pastry with an unknown filling. Her mouth filled with a sweet taste, as did her heart.

This sweetness persisted until dawn of the day after, when she went running with Xiang Rong. She covered her overflowing smile, which made Xiang Rong smile with her. This smile also helped her forget the tired feeling of the intense exercises. Although there were times where they almost could not continue, in the end, they managed to complete their five laps of Tong Sheng pavilion.

After breakfast, the two sisters went with Yao shi and Zi Rui to Shu Ya courtyard to pay their respects to the matriarch. They arrived early. The matriarch had just finished cleaning up, and granny Zhao had a smile on her face: “Second young miss is the most filial.”

Feng Yu Heng smiled and replied: “How could that be. Third sister arrived with me.”

The matriarch quickly took over: “Recently, the days have become cold. Is it cold at night?”

She shook her head, “Thank grandmother for her care. It is not cold. As for grandmother’s waist, the days have become cold, so you must pay more attention.” As she said this, she pulled out some more medical plasters from her sleeve. A-Heng brought some more over. When the time is right, grandmother, apply these.”

Seeing the medical plasters, the matriarch was happy. She quickly had granny Zhao properly receive them and wholeheartedly praised her: “It really is our A-Heng who is the most dear.”

As she spoke, Han shi, An shi and Jin Zhen came in from the yard. Much further behind them was Feng Chen Yu.

The matriarch saw that everyone had arrived and quickly straightened out her back. She liked the feeling of having many people kneeling and saluting her. She liked the vain feeling of nodding her head and saying “You may rise” even more. If this could be seen by everyone from her childhood home, then the grievances she suffered as a child would truly be made up for. Thinking of this, she decided that she would bring this up with Feng Jin Yuan if she had the chance. Find a reason to return to the old home and have those people see what sort of situation the Feng family was in now.

As she pondered this, everyone had already entered the room. Feng Yu Heng saw that Han shi kept her head lowered, as her eyes were bloodshot. It looked as though she were avoiding something. Taking this to heart, she carefully looked at her for a while before noticing that the left side of Han shi’s face was swollen. Not only was her face swollen, it seemed that her hairstyle was different from usual. There was a lock of hair that covered half of her forehead. The a bloody mark could faintly be seen under that lock of hair.
