Their eyes met for a moment, and the dull ink eyes stagnated for a moment, but then quickly moved away.
"Shu'er, you and Lan'er haven't seen each other for many years, so it's inevitable that you've become somewhat familiar with each other. It's not easy to get together today, so it's easier to sit together and talk."
It was Concubine Rong who said this.
The person who was called "Shu'er" was the woman next to Ye Tinglan. The woman had bright eyes, white teeth, and pink cheeks. She smiled coquettishly when she heard this, and her almost innocent smile made Feng Yinwan a little dazzled.
"Concubine Rong is wrong. Brother Lan and I are not inseparable! Isn't that right, Brother Lan?"
Different from Qin Rulian's pretentious approach and deliberate approach, the woman gently pulled Ye Tinglan's sleeves, her eyes were as pure as stars, and there was no hint of scheming.
The words came out of her mouth as if they were natural.
And Ye Tinglan did not dodge like before.
"Um."
The sound was so soft that it was hard to discern what the tone was, but the strings in Feng Yinwan's mind seemed to have been cut off. The hand holding the tea cup tightened, and all she could see in front of her was that bright smile.
Sensing something was wrong with her, Concubine Li frowned slightly and spoke warmly.
"Princess Mo?"
The sound was not loud, but it was enough to attract everyone's attention. As if they had just discovered her existence, Concubine Rong smiled for a moment, and her interest obviously dropped a bit when she spoke again.
"Shu'er, this is Lan'er's princess. She is a little older than you. There are not many rules among people of your age. Please call her sister."
For the sake of face, she simply omitted her identity as the legitimate daughter of Feng Yinwan's Zhenguo General's Mansion.
"Sister-in-law" becomes "sister", which is even more intriguing.
All the eyes from around him were looking at him, and Feng Yinwan felt like thorns piercing his back, and his body couldn't help but feel a little stiff.
"Sister, are you brother Lan's princess?"
"I just heard from Brother Yun that you are a complete beauty. Now that I see you, you are indeed stunningly beautiful. No wonder Brother Lan likes you!"
The curious eyes and serious compliments made Feng Yinwan lose his armor and feel at a loss as to what to do.
She can tear white lotuses with her hands, kick green tea with her feet, and fight to the end without mercy, but she cannot face such gentle words and kind words, let alone harsh words.
"you……"
She opened her mouth but didn't know what to call her. Seeing her doubts, the woman frowned and said, "I am Yun Shu, the daughter of King Dingnan. Sister, just like brother Lan, just call me Shu'er."
King Dingnan was one of the few vassal kings in the dynasty. Unlike other princes, Yun Ling had soldiers and horses in his hands.
The woman in front of her is Yun Ling's only beloved daughter, Princess Chao'an, Yun Shu.
On an occasion like today, it is normal for them to come to Beijing.
Feng Yinwan's eyelashes lowered silently, "Princess Chao'an's compliments are just superficial. How virtuous and capable is this princess?"
She thought they were just polite words, but unexpectedly, Yun Shu actually held her hand when she heard the words, with an unusually firm look on her face.
"Sister, don't say that, Shu'er thinks you are worth it!"
Such a direct and passionate look was something Feng Yinwan had never seen before.
Her hand felt as if it had been scalded, burning inexplicably. Feng Yin turned her eyes away in panic, not knowing how to respond.
It is true that Concubine Rong's intention to bring the two together made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but from an inner point of view, it is indeed difficult not to like a pure and sincere girl like Yun Shu.
A seed called "cowardice" quietly took root in her heart, making her already weak heart even more shaky.
What about Ye Tinglan?
He didn't refuse just now, was it... just like her?
Feng Yinwan didn't dare to think about the vague thoughts that came to her mind. Fortunately, Concubine Rong had no intention of letting Yun Shu tangle with her any more, so she called her away after a few hasty words.
From the beginning to the end, that cold figure stood silently, his dark eyes never turning his head again.
Feng Yinwan forgot when she regained her breath. She only remembered that when she regained consciousness, the heat coming from her cold fingertips was Concubine Li's.
Concubine Rong had already walked away with Lu Qin, and sitting not far behind her were Yun Shu and Ye Tinglan.
The air was still thin, Concubine Li raised her eyes worriedly, and pulled her to stand up.
"It's almost time, let's go there first."
After leaving the side hall, it was as if he could breathe through the air. Feng Yinwan pinched her cold fingertips and pursed her lips.
"Thank you, concubine."
There were already many people sitting in the main hall. Feng Yin found a seat before night and was about to sit down when several harsh sounds came one after another.
"You are still sitting there, and you don't even know what status you have now. The daughter of a guilty minister is worthy of sitting in such a front seat!"
"My father and brother defected to the enemy and treason, harmed the lives of soldiers, and even caused King Mo to be seriously injured. She just stayed in the capital because she was pregnant. Why did she have the nerve to come to the celebration banquet!"
"That is, if I were her, I wouldn't even dare to come. Why does she have such a face!"
The ones on the left were just a few family members of officials who had been played by General Feng. Feng Yin had long been used to hearing such bad words and was really in no mood to argue with them.
I grabbed my clothes and went to sit down. Unexpectedly, several people came forward reluctantly when they saw this.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Princess Mo in her presence. The princess looks as good as ever. She doesn't look like she just experienced family destruction!"
"Yes, I heard that everyone in the Feng family was exiled to the border. Those barbaric places are terrifying just thinking about them. I really don't know how people live."
"Mrs. Liu, you are asking the right person. Princess Mo's father and brother are all there. If you want to know, why don't you just ask our Princess Mo? She must know the situation best!"
The few words he said were all designed to stab Feng Yinwan in the heart. She was too lazy to deal with it, but she was definitely not someone who would swallow her anger.
Her pretty face sank, and there was a hint of chill in her voice.
"Mrs. Liu wants to know?"
Looking at the woman who had just screamed the loudest, Feng Yinwan curled her lips coldly, "If my memory is correct, Mrs. Liu's son is guarding Pingguan City, right?"
"The border is not far from Pingguan City. How about this? When the celebration banquet is over, I will order you to be sent to the border so that Madam Liu can personally experience the survival rules of the wilderness, and you can also visit her on the way.
For my own son, this will save Mr. Liu from having to make a special trip back to Beijing to have a kiss."
After a pause, he spoke again and looked at the woman aside.
"What do Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhou think?"
"I, the princess, saw that you were very curious just now. In that case, why not go together? They say that three people make a tiger. The three of you together must be even more disadvantageous. It is really difficult to meet your opponent at the border."
This is calling them tigresses!
They had never experienced the power of her mouth. Several women were choked until their faces turned blue and white, and they were so angry that they could not speak at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were only a few people in the palace and they were outnumbered, they secretly exchanged glances and tried to push Feng Yinwan's desk.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took action, a jade buckle hit his wrist hard, and Ms. Liu immediately screamed and retracted her hand.
