The weather became a little warmer. Feng Qingying brought Forsythia along and casually strolled around the backyard of the Duke's Palace. Finally, he sat in a pavilion by the lake and fed the fish.
"The wangfei is in a good mood."
Shi Yanfei's voice sounded out.
Feng Qingying concentrated on sprinkling the fish food in his hand into the lake, and asked indifferently, "Isn't this Young Master Shi in a good mood too?"
"Princess doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
"You still ask when you know it."
Shi Yanfei was a little embarrassed. He obviously couldn't continue the conversation so he just stood to the side and continued to chat with Feng Qingying. "There's really no need to be angry at the Duke."
"Don't the Young Master Shi feel that he is being too nosy?"
He also felt that he was being too nosy, but today, what he saw was a face that could kill him. He didn't even dare to speak, and got scolded the moment he spoke.
He was the unlucky one in the quarrel between the two.
That was why he had shamelessly come to negotiate with them.
"I can't guarantee anything else, but the prince's heart towards wangfei is absolutely genuine. Wangfei is the most important person to him."
Feng Qingying only thought it was funny, and replied indifferently, "The Young Master Shi has acted on his own again, behind the Duke's back."
With the personality of the prince, why would he let me be his lobbyist? I just can't stand watching the two of them get along after going through so much trouble. It would be a pity if just a little misunderstanding hurt their relationship.
Shi Yanfei continued to be thick-skinned.
"There's no need for Young Master Shi to talk too much about matters between me and the Prince."
"The Miss Yue has already been in the palace for ten years, so the prince has always treated her as his own sister. He does have some feelings for her, but it would be the same for the wangfei as well. However, the prince has always been clear on what's right and wrong and also wants to protect his wangfei the most.
Feng Qingying was too lazy to reply and continued to feed the golden carp.
was truly a nosy person. Previously, she did not like Shi Yanfei, but after knowing that Shi Yanfei did not have any bad intentions, she did not reject him.
Seeing that Feng Qingying did not bother to respond to him, Shi Yanfei once again thought about whether or not he should clarify the matter. In the end, he decided to explain the matter to Feng Qingying clearly.
"Let's put it this way! "Wangfei, actually the prince wants to protect you."
"I have been friends with the Prince for many years, so I cannot say that I understand his thoughts completely, but I do understand a bit more than others. The Miss Yue and the Royal Concubine felt that there was a gap between them, and now that I have the emperor's care and care, if I enter the palace, it would probably be detrimental to the Princess. That's why the Prince wants the Miss Yue to marry an ordinary young master of a noble family.
If Miss Feng does not act later, the position of the empress will fall into Yang Xue's hands. There will be deep grudges between the two, and at that time, there won't even be someone who can speak for the imperial concubine in the palace. This is extremely disadvantageous for the imperial concubine.
All of these were actually just Shi Yanfei's guesses, but he was confident that he guessed right. After so many years, he still understood Xiao Feimo.
He was aware of the relationship between Feng Qingying and the Empress Dowager Zhu. If the empress dowager and empress had enmity with Feng Qingying, she would have to head to the palace from time to time to attend the banquet. This would be extremely troublesome for Feng Qingying.
"Maybe the prince is afraid that I will hurt Yue Lanyi!"
Feng Qingying said expressionlessly.
In fact, his heart was already moved.
"Once you enter the palace, your status will be above the imperial concubine. If you don't summon her, the imperial concubine won't be able to enter the palace as she pleases. Could it be that the imperial concubine can find trouble with the Miss Yue at any time?"
Shi Yanfei patted his head, and continued to speak, "Your highness indeed does not wish to injure Miss Yue's life, the reason behind this is hard to explain clearly with just a few words, but Your highness is definitely on the side of the wangfei.
This was something the empress dowager did not want Yang Xue to be the last candidate for the empress dowager's position because the empress dowager had already obtained the Du You City, otherwise, the prince would not have used the Du You City to exchange for Feng Yu's life. The loss was huge, and it was precisely because the empress dowager had asked the eldest miss for it.
"Princess, please forgive my bluntness, but Prince didn't do anything wrong in this matter. Princess was the one who misunderstood Prince's intentions."
Feng Qingying passed the fish food in his hand to Shi Zhu who was guarding at the side, and asked indifferently, "Did the Prince personally tell you this?"
"Although the prince didn't say it explicitly, that's pretty much what he meant. I hope the wangfei will think it over and I'll take my leave first."
She had said what she needed to say, and let Feng Qingying think about the rest himself. She was very smart to have said everything so clearly, she did not believe that Feng Qingying would not understand.
Feng Qingying stared at the golden carp in the pond, thinking about what Shi Yanfei had said.
She didn't know what kind of weight Yue Lanyi held in Xiao Feimo's heart. After all, he had raised her for ten years, and Yue Lanyi was extremely obedient and obedient in front of him. Under normal circumstances, he would have had very deep feelings for her, plus his sister.
So her first reaction was for Xiao Feimo to replace Yue Lanyi; she didn't think it was for her at all.
She and Xiao Feimo had only just gotten together, and it was likely that she herself did not think that she would have such a high position in Xiao Feimo's heart.
She had always been realistic when it came to relationships. She rarely had the illusions of a little girl, and she didn't even believe in love at first sight.
"Princess, there's still some fish left. Do you want more?"
"No need, let's go back!"
Feng Qingying stood up and walked towards the You Lan Pavilion.
The next day, Feng Qingying brought Yue Lanyi and Lateral Consort Li to the Great Chao Temple to enjoy the incense. On the way there, she chatted and joked with the Lateral Consort Li.
After bowing to the Buddha, Feng Qingying was about to get on the carriage to head back when Bai Zhi suddenly ran over hurriedly. "Esteemed wangfei, I've finally found you.
Feng Qingying had a bad premonition in his heart, he anxiously asked: "Where is Big Sis?"
"This servant doesn't know where Eldest Miss is. Today, Madame and Eldest Miss came out together to burn incense, and after paying their respects to Buddha, Madame went to listen to the Grand Master's lecture. Little Miss brought me out for a stroll. Who knew that not long after I came out, this servant had separated from Eldest Miss."
"How are they separated?"
Although Feng Qingying was worried, his tone was extremely calm.
"At that time, someone bumped into this servant. This servant argued with that person for a short while and then lost sight of Eldest Miss. This servant couldn't find Eldest Miss anywhere. She only came to find Princess Hua-Yang after seeing her carriage."
"Where did elder sister disappear to?"
Bai Zhi pointed to the southwest. "It's just over there. I don't know what happened then, but a lot of people came all of a sudden. Those people must have come on purpose."
"Bai Zhi, take my command medallion to find the head of the Great Zhao Temple and have him send the monk to look for someone. I'll go look for Big Sis first."
"Alright, this servant will go now."
Bai Zhi took the order badge from Feng Qingying and left hastily.
"Lateral Consort Li, you return to the manor first." After saying that, he walked up to one of the guards and instructed, "Quickly ride your horse and rush back to inform the prince."
"Yes, Princess."
When the guards received the order, they immediately rode away.
