Chapter 307 (2/2)
Seeing Feng Yu Heng return, Wang Chuan quickly went over to ask for help: “Young miss has finally come back. Quickly help this servant. Young master is bringing up subjects that I can’t provide answers for. I have already lost six cups of tea to him. If young miss did not come back, this servant’s belly would be on the verge of bursting.”
Zi Rui loudly said: “It was sister Wang Chuan that said she wanted to compete with Zi Rui in studies. Zi Rui has already chosen the easy topics.”
Yao shi went over and pulled Zi Rui along, saying: “Your sister Wang Chuan is letting you win. Don’t get arrogant.”
Wang Chuan doted on Zi Rui and quickly said: “I didn’t let him win. This servant really lost to young master.”
Yao shi smiled and said: “You know best how to take care of him.” She then looked at Feng Yu Heng and said: “I wanted to come and ask you. I was planning to visit the Wen Xuan Palace tomorrow. Do you have time to go along?”
Hearing that she wanted to visit the Wen Xuan Palace, Feng Yu Heng truly wanted to go. After all, she and Xuan Tian Ge got along well, and Princess Wen Xuan was the daughter of imperial tutor Ye Rong. From that perspective, she should be the one to go and visit. Unfortunately, coincidences often worked like that “I have an arrangement with the prince of Zong Sui to visit his Highness the ninth prince. It seems that daughter will not be able to go.”
Yao shi let out an “oh” sound then quickly said: “Your matter is an official matter and is of the utmost importance. It absolutely must not be missed. I will bring Zi Rui along tomorrow then. Just take care of your matters.”
Feng Yu Heng pondered a little then said: “Mother, wait a moment.” After saying this, she quickly entered her medicine storage room. After sorting through the things in her space, she pulled out two self-heating sandbags then exited, “This is used to cover the knees. Lord Wen Xuan is getting older, and his legs and feet are not doing too well. Mother, bring this and give it to them. Consider it to be a bit of A-Heng’s consideration.”
While saying this, she gave one to Yao shi. She held the other one in her hand. She then squeezed the sandbag then said: “Mother should also try it. Just squeeze it like this. After squeezing it, it will begin to feel warm. It is very convenient to use.”
Yao shi copied her and tried a few times. Sure enough, the sandbag in her hand began to feel hot, and she could not help but become surprised: “It really is a nice thing. Lord Wen Xuan will definitely be very happy to see it.”
“That’s good.” Feng Yu Heng never doubted that her things would amaze the people of this era. She only advised the two: “You absolutely must be careful. I will have Huang Quan and Wang Chuan accompany you tomorrow.”
“Then what about yourself?” Yao shi was a little worried, “Giving us all of your servants, what will you do?”
“I still have a hidden guard. Mother should not worry.” She patted Yao shi’s hand then personally sent her out of the courtyard. When Yao shi was further away, she advised Huang Quan: “Quickly go to the Yu Palace. I will have Qing Yu take care of sending servants over to the Feng manor.”
Huang Quan complied and left. Feng Yu Heng then told Wang Chuan and Qing Yu the basics of what was happening on Kang Yi’s side. This angered both of them, as they decided to choose some servants with attitudes over.
Qing Yu and Wang Chuan returned after an hour. They told Feng Yu Heng: “Ten servants have already been sent over. Princess Kang Yi did not say much, but Prime minister Feng’s face turned green, and Princess Ru Jia exploded. But we said that because Qian Zhou’s servants were not even able to properly take care of something simple like helping their master get out of a carriage, it truly does not allow anyone to feel at ease. Second young miss does not want for the Feng manor to not be thorough in taking care of eldest princess, thus she sent people out of goodwill. Thus Princess Kang Yi kindly accepted.”
Feng Yu Heng understood that she had not truly accepted it. Kang Yi’s patience was something that she had never seen before. Including Ru Jia, perhaps she was not as simple as what she showed on the surface.
The next day, Feng Yu Heng got up early to pay respects to the matriarch. After she paid respects, she would go towards the Yu Palace.
What she did not expect was, when she arrived at Shu Ya courtyard’s hall, aside from the females of the Feng family sitting there, Kang YI and Ru Jia had also arrived.
She went forward and saluted the matriarch. After sitting down, she asked with concern: “Is eldest princess feeling a little better? A-Heng was scared to death yesterday.”
Kang Yi smiled and said: “I have troubled county princess with worrying. This one is fine. It had just snowed yesterday, so the roads were slippery. Having taken a misstep, I fell. I have allowed county princess to see something foolish.”
“It’s good that eldest princess is fine. How could A-Heng laugh at you. If it were not for father doting on A-Heng and going to help me out of the carriage, perhaps the one that fell would have been A-Heng. Was eldest princess injured anywhere?”
Kang Yi said: “I sprained my ankle slightly. Although it hurts a little, it does not affect my ability to walk. The doctor prescribed some medicine. It will be better after taking some.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded, “Then I can be at ease. But there is something I have been curious about the entire time. Normally, Qian Zhou should frequently be covered in ice. Eldest princess should be extremely accustomed to icy roads. How could you fall after arriving in Da Shun?”
Kang Yi was a little embarrassed; however, she immediately said: “This one was too careless.” Thinking a little more, she added: “Perhaps it was the servants being a little lax in taking care of me. Yesterday, county princess especially sent over some servants, and This one is truly grateful.”
Upon mentioning the servants sent by Feng Yu Heng, Ru Jia became filled with anger, but it was not a good time to express it. She could only bitterly say: “That’s right, county princess indeed has good methods.”
Just after she finished speaking, when she looked at Feng Yu Heng, she saw that her eyes had become red, and her face had become pale white. Looking at the matriarch, she gave her a gleaming and sympathetic look.
The matriarch was immediately stunned…
