Chapter 1124

Imperial Concubine Mother Has To Make A Decision For This Son!

Reality showed the Imperial Concubine Yun could pretend rather well. Once the mistress of the Winter Moon Palace exuded her aura, she suppressed the whole group of citizens in Ji An Prefecture.

Not to mention that this was the first time these commoners saw an imperial concubine, this was also the first time Qian Fengshou saw this legendary Imperial Concubine Yun! He wanted to take a few more glances, but the rules were the most important. He was a lowly local official, only able to lower his head in front of an imperial concubine, how could he dare to sneak a look. Therefore, Qian Fengshou knelt there, watching the wheels of the imperial carriage pass by him. That was when he stood up and followed closely behind the imperial carriage. Only when the imperial carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Princess’ manor in Ji An Prefecture did he approach to bow once more.

In order to see the citizens, Imperial Concubine Yun had already walked outside of the carriage of the imperial carriage with the servants holding onto her, Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming naturally were at her left and right side, and at this moment, they were personally helping Imperial Concubine Yun off the carriage. Seeing Imperial Concubine Yun pretend to carefully take small steps, the corner of Xuan Tianming’s lips kept twitching, only thinking this Imperial Concubine Mother of his! Being locked in the imperial palace for so many years, it looked like she had reined in her personality on the surface, but the personality in her bones did not change at all. If not for the fact that she had to put up an appearance for the outsiders, she might just jump off the imperial carriage on her own, not needing people to hold onto her at all.

The group of people entered the Princess’ manor quickly, Feng Yuheng had not returned for a long time and there were some changes to the house since some time back, but she was not unfamiliar with these changes, because all of these were renovations she suggested in her letter. Including the newly dug drains to connect to the water drainage system outside the manor, the simple shower equipment, some tools crafted by imitating the future era and some daily necessities Feng Yuheng frequently asked people to send over. Even the clothes of the servants were different from the capital, not as complex as the ancient era clothes, they were simpler and were more convenient for carrying out daily work.

Imperial Concubine Yun felt everything in this Princess’ manor was very fresh and interesting, even though Feng Yuheng would frequently give her some interesting things, compared to such large scale changes, as Chun Palace and Yu Palace were in the capital, they were much more restrained.

Seeing amazement in Imperial Concubine Yun’s gaze, Xuan Tianming said softly in frustration: “A lot of people are watching! Don’t act like those villagers who just entered the city, you are an imperial concubine! What kind of grand things have you not seen before?”

Imperial Concubine Yun rolled her eyes at him, saying softly: “I really have not seen such grand things before! Look at the shoes they’re wearing, I have never seen them; I have also never seen the clothes; even the buns their hair are tied in are new; no matter how I look at this mansion, it is much better than the ones owned by you two Princes.”

Xuan Tianming also admitted that this place is rather good, but his Yu Palace was not bad as well, “Ah-Heng modified my place rather well too.”

“That’s right! But Old Seventh’s place is much worse.” Imperial Concubine Yun said with emotion, “Having no woman in the manor is no good after all.” After saying this, she turned back quickly and searched the crowd, after sweeping her gaze over, her gaze finally stopped at one Madam, she smiled, gesturing to that Madam: “Come!”

That Madam was no one else, it was An Shi. At this moment, seeing Imperial Concubine Yun call for her, even if she was unwilling, she could only walk forward, planning to follow the rules and bow, but she was stopped by Imperial Concubine Yun: “In-law, there is no need to be this reserved, we are going to be one family very soon.”

When this sentence came out, Feng Yuheng almost could not listen on anymore. What was that! Didn’t you come to propose a marriage? The other party had not agreed yet, but you even used the term in-law. And seeing Imperial Concubine Yun’s youthful appearance as well as An Shi’s face which could not be considered old, it felt like the term in-law did not match them at all. Therefore, she reminded quickly: “Imperial Concubine Mother, we can talk about this more in the main hall!” After saying this, she turned back and told Feng Qianshou: “Lord Qian, we have come here for personal matters, there’s no need to be so nervous, go and settle your own matters!”

Qian Fengshou was stunned, he did not need to accompany them? As the province officer for Yu Province, an important person came to this small piece of land, how could he not accompany them? But when he saw Imperial Concubine Yun holding onto An Shi and not letting go, then saw a shy expression on Feng family’s Third Miss who was following behind them, he sort of understood. But then his gaze turned towards Xuan Tianming, thinking: Could it be that the Ninth Prince was going to take in a concubine? How can this person do this? He has Princess Ji An who was such a good wife, how could he still think about taking in a concubine? Even taking in her younger sister, what was this? He was really disappointed. When he had a chance, he was going to send a letter to his son Qian Li, following such a leader, there was no future!

Xuan Tianming saw that the gaze Qian Fengshou directed at him was gradually showing disdain, and his expression could not help but darken, speaking coldly: “Lord Qian, why are you still standing here? There is no tea for you in the Princess’ manor today! This Prince is proposing a marriage for Seventh Imperial Brother, as a private matter, if Lord Qian should not continue to participate so as not to be seen as rude.”

“Uh......” For this Seventh Imperial Brother! Qian Fengshou saw the light. That’s right, the Seventh Prince was also a child around Imperial Concubine Yun, so they came to propose a marriage for the Seventh Prince. Once he understood this level of relationship, Qian Fengshou’s expression changed immediately, showing an admiring and respectful attitude to Xuan Tianming once more, making Xuan Tianming so angry that he secretly decided to settle this anger with Qian Li.

This was Feng Yuheng’s territory, so naturally the matter of hosting was managed by her. The servants in the manor were well-trained and Feng Yuheng basically did not need to worry, they thoughtfully and politely let everyone into the main hall, and after serving the tea and snacks, they only left three people there to serve, the others left and stood outside the door on standby to avoid disturbing their masters when they discussed matters.

Imperial Concubine Yun pulled An Shi the whole way, and when she sat down, she wanted An Shi to sit next to her. But how did An Shi dare to do so? After avoiding a few times, she still sat at the seat of honour on the left side, the seat which was the closest to Imperial Concubine Yun. Xiangrong sat at her side, blushing slightly, appearing to have the thoughts of waiting to get married.

But An Shi was not happy and even felt some slight worry, she knew that she could not reject this marriage, and her heart was pained, her expression was also dark.

Imperial Concubine Yun as an imperial concubine after all, with her position placed there, it was difficult for her to speak directly. Since Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng followed, this matter should naturally be handled by them. Therefore, Xuan Tianming took the lead and husband and wife finally spoke about their purpose for being here.

An Shi listened to them seriously, including the list of dowry items which Xuan Tianming handed over, she also read it carefully. Honestly speaking, she was sincerely moved by Imperial Concubine Yun’s sincerity. With regards to Xiangrong being able to marry Xuan Tianhua, and her relationship with Feng Yuheng changing from sisters to sisters-in-law, she was willing as well. But Xuan Tianhua just had to be a prince, her heart resisted this fact a lot.

Feng Yuheng saw An Shi’s conflict and wanted to say something, but Imperial Concubine Yun could not tolerate it anymore, speaking to An Shi directly: “In-law, This One...... ai, forget it, we are familiar with each other, I will not use This One, This One anymore, it’s too distant. Let me tell you this! For this child Xiangrong, I have really taken a liking to her, my Old Seventh has also taken a liking to her. Today we have come to propose a marriage, bringing our upmost sincerity, I hope that in-law can decide quickly, are you agreeable or not? If you agree, I will return quickly to manage the grand wedding between them next year. If you do not agree...... then I will think of something else.”

Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming both facepalmed, this forceful person.

Seeing that An Shi was still silent, not saying anything with furrowed brows, Imperial Concubine Yun spoke uncertainly: “Or does In-law think that there is not enough sincerity bringing Old Ninth and Ah-Heng along? That’s true, for a matter like an engagement, it was always decided by the parents and the matchmaker, the process seems to be missing a matchmaker and the child’s father did not show up. But you also know, the status of the child’s father is a little more awkward and it is inconvenient for him to leave.”

Xuan Tianming could not continue listening to this anymore, coughing a few times and adding on: “Father Emperor is busy with affairs of the country.”

Feng Yuheng also followed on to say: “That’s right! Father Emperor cannot leave the capital that easily.” After she spoke, she could not avoid thinking with emotion, this Imperial Concubine Yun was also rather aggressive! When she spoke, she could be a match for the Emperor! Thinking about when she just met Imperial Concubine Yun, she really put up a good act when she was at Winter Moon Palace, but unexpectedly, after leaving the imperial palace, her true personality was shown and it was actually like this. No wonder the Emperor was so crazily attracted to her, the personalities of these two people were the same.

They wanted to smooth things over for Imperial Concubine Yun, but she did not appreciate it all, waving her hand and ignoring them, she said to An Shi again “In-law, do not listen to their nonsense, these two children do not know anything. Hua-er’s father might be the Emperor, but with regards to his children’s marriage, if in-law insists on having him appear, then he has to come here! In-law, please say the word! As long as you say it, I will ask people to send a letter to transfer the Old Man here!”

An Shi was dazed hearing this, this was really her first time interacting with such an important person, during these few years, she had frequently seen princes, but did not meet any imperial concubines! The concubines in the palace were like this? That legendary, mysterious, influential and favoured Imperial Concubine Yun, was like this?

Just as An Shi was in a daze, a servant outside the door entered hurriedly, after bowing and looking at everyone, he choose to speak to Feng Yuheng in the end: “Reporting to Princess, His Highness the Fourth Prince is asking to see Madam An!”

“Hm?” Feng Yuheng frowned, thinking that things were not good, for the Fourth Prince to choose this time to appear, it must be something bad.

She was not the only one thinking this, everyone in this house was thinking this, especially Feng Xiangrong, when she heard the words His Highness the Fourth Prince, her face fell quickly, having a bad feeling in her heart.

But An Shi thought that the Fourth Prince appearing at this time was an action which could solve her troubles, her heart was messy and she wanted to gain more time to think about it properly, she also wanted to speak to her own daughter again. The Fourth Prince had come, so it was likely that this matter would not be decided today, this would buy her a lot of time. Therefore, without waiting for Feng Yuheng to speak, she took the initiative to speak first: “Quickly ask His Highness the Fourth Prince to come in, His Highness is an important guess, how can we leave him outside?”

However, this was the manor belonging to the lord of the county, as long as Feng Yuheng was around, the servants would not listen to anyone else’s instructions. Even though An Shi spoke, the servants still looked at Feng Yuheng, waiting for orders from their true master.

An Shi was a little embarrassed, knowing that she had spoken too much, she lowered her head and did not say anything more. But Feng Yuheng sighed softly, speaking: “Madam An is correct, His Highness is an important guest, how can we leave him outside? Quickly invite His Highness the Fourth Prince in.”

The servants went to welcome the “important guest”, unexpectedly, Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi was not the only person entering the manor, a large group of servants followed behind him, the servants were even carrying a lot of things. Once they entered the main hall, they saw Xuan Tianyi lift a corner of his robes, kneeling towards Imperial Concubine Yun, saying in a clear voice: “This Son has waited, and someone who can make a decision has finally arrived! Imperial Concubine Yun has a higher status, please accept a bow from This Son!”
