zChapter 952 - Noble Lady Yuan, Are You Sick? (2/2)

Noble Lady Yuan felt as though she had made a very serious mistake, and this mistake was one that should not have been made. This was not her first time dealing with Feng Yuheng. The first time, she had lost her position as imperial concubine. Today, they had just engaged in some verbal jousting, yet she found that she still could not come out on top. Each and every word that Feng Yuheng said caused her to feel speechless and annoyed. It was enough to force her into a corner, leaving her with no room to retreat. Filled with hatred, she stood dejectedly for a long time, not knowing what she should say.

Yue Xiu could not bear to continue watching and bowed to Feng Yuheng then advised Noble Lady Yuan: “Master has been out for a long time. The days in winter are cold. We should quickly return!”

Noble Lady Yuan was waiting for this step to get away, thus she did not continue to worry about things and coldly snorted, leaving with a flick of her sleeves.

But just as she took a few steps, she heard Feng Yuheng ask: “I wonder how Her Highness the Empress’ health is? Noble Lady just came from Jing Ci Palace. How about you talk to me about it?”

Upon hearing this, Noble Lady Yuan became spirited once more, as she put on a shady smile and replied: “Princess Yu really is concerned; however, you must remember that knowing someone on the surface does not mean you know their heart. Don’t assume that everyone is a good person. That will make sure you don’t get bitten and get hurt.”

“Is that so?” Feng Yuheng faintly said: “Noble Lady, taking care of yourself is most important. Although whether or not someone is good is hard to tell, at the very least, I can see who is a bad person very clearly!”

Noble Lady Yuan was completely stumped by this. Stomping her foot, she did not continue to remain and quickly left.

Huang Quan furrowed her brow and seemed to have understood the underlying meaning. She could not help but ask: “Young Miss, the Empress…”

Feng Yu Heng waved her hand and cut her off. She then looked to the side and coldly spoke in the direction of a rock formation in a nearby courtyard: “Stop hiding. Come out!”

These words gave Huang Quan a start. She was responsible for protecting Feng Yuheng; however, she had been preoccupied just now with enjoying the scene of her young miss mocking Noble Lady Yuan. It was such that she did not notice someone hiding nearby. Hearing Feng Yuheng bring it up, she also became angry and soared in the direction of the rock formation!

Following this came a shriek, as a young palace maid was carried over to Feng Yuheng as if she were a chick. “Young Miss, she was the one hiding behind that rock formation.”

“Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me! This servant is not a bad person. Really, I’m not a bad person!” The young palace maid dropped to her knees in fear and repeatedly kowtowed to plead for forgiveness.

Feng Yuheng saw that she was a normal palace maid and did not have any martial arts foundation. Her earlier hiding had also been quite clumsy, thus she gestured for Huang Quan to help her up. Only then did she ask: “Which palace do you serve? Who is your master?”

The young palace maid spoke while trembling: “This servant takes care of Noble Lady Li in Jing Si Palace. Hearing that Princess came into the palace today, Noble Lady wanted to invite you to sit for a while in Jing Si Palace, and she sent this servant to wait on the path to Winter Moon Palace. At first, this servant did not want to hide, and I definitely did not hide because of Princess. It’s because I saw Noble Lady Yuan. Princess should also know about it, but our Noble Lady Li might be Noble Lady Yuan’s sister, but the relationship between the two is not very good. This servant was thinking that more problems are worse than fewer problems, thus I hid, but I definitely did not intend to eavesdrop on your conversation with Noble Lady Yuan!”

“Noble Lady Li?” Feng Yuheng was puzzled, “What does she want to see me for?”

The young palace maid shook her head, “This servant does not know.”

“Forget it.” Feng Yuheng thought for a bit then said, “In the end, she is sixth brother’s birth mother. Just for sixth brother, this princess should go and take a look. Let’s go! Let’s go to Jing Si Palace.”

At this time in Jing Si Palace, Noble Lady Li was craning her neck and looking out of the side hall, waiting. From time to time, she would adjust her clothes and ask her maid, Zuo’er: “How do I look? It isn’t undignified, right?”

Zuo’er calmly said: “As a noble lady, it’s perfect.”

“As a noble lady… then isn’t it a little too strict? Hah, no good, no good, how can strict be good. It will scare people. Let’s change into something else.”

Zuo’er grabbed a hold of her and pleaded with her: “You’ve already gone through three sets of clothes. She is Princess Yu, and she is a lower first rank Imperial Daughter Ji An. No matter what you wear, it won’t scare her. This is very good and conforms very well with the rules. Don’t keep changing.”

“Is it really fine?” Noble Lady Li felt her hair once more, feeling as though her hairpin was a bit tilted. She then had Zuo’er adjust it a bit before saying: “It’s nothing to me, but isn’t it for the sake of Feng’er’s image! Only by wearing something fitting can it leave a good impression on her. It will also be good for Feng’er.”

“Master!” Zuo’er became worried and stomped her foot, saying: “You must not say this sort of thing again. She is Princess Yu. What good would come from her being good to His Highness the sixth prince for no reason? If word of this got out, how do you want His Highness the sixth prince to live?!”

Just as they were speaking, the sound of the palace gate opening could be heard. The door was partially opened, as the servant that had been sent out brought Feng Yuheng and her maidservant inside. Noble Lady Li began to feel a bit nervous…
