C4 Can't Stand Idly by

At the corner of the residence.

Feng Jianxuan secretly opened a crack and confirmed that no one was in and out of the forest. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief and beckoned Xiao Cui who was behind her.

The two of them sneakily walked into Jiaomen. They hadn't even walked three or five steps when they were surrounded by more than ten servants.

"What are you all doing?" Xiao Cui was startled, and hurriedly stood in front of Feng Jianxuan to protect her.

A dozen or so servants stepped aside, opening up a path. From behind the crowd, wearing brocade robes, they walked with sonorous footsteps and an imposing aura. With their hands behind their backs, they raised their heads and walked in front of Feng Jianxuan.

"What a loyal and protective Xiao Cui!"

With a shout, Xiao Cui immediately knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Lord Prime Minister, please forgive me, I did not take good care of the young miss."

"What is daddy doing?" I was the one who dragged Xiao Cui out, if father wanted to punish me he would punish me, do not vent your anger on the people around us. Feng Jianxuan hurried over to the side of the Prime Minister Feng Lin Xiao with a spoiled tone. She grabbed onto his arm and leaned on him.

In the entire imperial city, there was no one who did not know that the Prime Minister doted on his daughter. Seeing her so close to him, the Prime Minister's trembling beard that was originally filled with anger calmed down.

"I should have punished you." The prime minister lightly poked Feng Jianxuan's forehead and said dotingly, "The palace has sent people to summon you to the palace. How about it at home? If you do whatever you want in the palace, even if you are the daughter of a duke, the palace rules will not forgive you. "

"Daddy, don't worry. I've been to the palace quite a few times, and I've never lost any face before." Feng Jianxuan couldn't bear to let go. Right now, it was all the pity of the heavens. If not, how could she still have the luck to meet her father again?

"Xiao Cui, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you changing and dressing the young miss?" Xiao Cui immediately got up and came to Feng Jianxuan's side.

"Daddy, I bought the Chestnut Cake from He Hsiao-ju. You can take it to see Mommy." Feng Jianxuan whispered into Feng Lin Xiao's ear, "Daddy was driven out of his room by mother yesterday. Based on mother's temper, I'm afraid you're still angry, right? This chestnut cake is my mother's favorite. "

"Ghost girl!" Although it was shameful for her daughter to know about this, the chestnut cake in her hands was something that the imperial city wanted. She had arrived just in time.

Every time they entered the palace, they would put on three layers on the inside and three on the outside. Feng Jianxuan's delicate features twisted together as she complained, "Just by wearing these clothes, it has crushed me."

"Miss, please be patient. The uniform on the fifth floor is the rule. No one can change it." Xiao Cui placed the last piece on Feng Jianxuan's body.

Feng Jianxuan dragged her body along with her heavy skirt and was about to leave when she was pulled back by Xiao Cui, "Miss, you still need to tie the gentry, don't move recklessly."

"What is it? "I am a woman, why should I be a gentleman? That is not what a man should do."

"No, I'm afraid Miss has forgotten that last year, when she was born to the age of 15, this gentleman was bestowed upon her by the Emperor himself. This is a great favor." If you do not enter the palace, you will fall into the conversation. This was specifically told to you by the Lord Prime Minister. " Xiao Cui said in all seriousness, and then she tied the heavy gentleman firmly onto Feng Jianxuan's waist.

After finally getting on the carriage, Feng Jianxuan pinched her neck and complained, "If I enter the palace every day, I'll have to wear several kilograms of jewelry. My neck will break sooner or later."

"Pah pah pah! If it's bad news, you can't say it." Xiao Cui didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she held Feng Jianxuan's neck, saying, "This is all His Majesty's kindness, and also our Prime Minister's fortune." Even if others wanted to, they wouldn't be able to get it. It's fine if Miss says these things to me, but don't say them in the palace. "

"Of course." How could Feng Jianxuan not know the rules of this palace? It seemed like she had been in the palace for more than a decade, and she had already memorized the rules of this palace.

When the carriage reached the palace gates, Xiao Cui helped Feng Jianxuan out of the carriage. After giving some instructions to the driver, she helped Feng Jianxuan walk towards the Xuan Qing Gate.

"The second miss of the palace has been ordered to visit the empress in the palace. This is an imperial edict." Xiao Cui handed the edict to the guard, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he allowed her to pass.

Feng Jianxuan sighed heavily and said, "The rules of this palace are truly locked. From the Xuanqing Sect to the Empress' sleeping quarters, it takes more than an incense stick's worth of time to walk. It would be much more convenient to ride in a carriage."

"Miss, have you forgotten the Prime Minister's orders?" The Prime Minister was an important official of the imperial court, so he was being watched by so many pairs of eyes. If anything were to happen to Feng Jianxuan, it would naturally be to the Prime Minister's fault.

"I know."

Then, she recalled that in her previous life, she was called to the palace on the day before her sixteenth birthday. She bestowed a treasure upon Ouyang Yu after that.

She still remembered the scene from back then. The excitement she felt when she saw her beloved seemed to have come from just yesterday. For this, she had given her heart for an entire lifetime, in exchange for the gift from him to abandon and execute her entire family.

Her long and slender fingers were curled together, and she was trembling because she had used too much strength. Feng Jianxuan's resentful expression was written on her face, and she was currently walking down the same path as before step by step.

In the distance, Princess He Le asked Wen Lan, who was standing beside her, "Is the one who brought the servant girl towards the Middle Palace the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate?"

"Reporting to Princess, it's the Second Miss and the servant girl, Xiao Cui."

Princess He Le's eyebrows knitted together slightly as she said in a low voice, "We can't stand by and watch without doing anything."

In the empress's quarters, tens of servants and attendants waited on them in the yard.

"He is truly full of spirit and water. He is very generous and decent." Empress Lu's smiling face was quite pretty. She wore a bright yellow phoenix robe, and her dyed nails were dazzling. She took a small sip from her glass cup. Her light pursing of her red lips attracted everyone's attention.

"Miss, the empress is talking to you." Xiao Cui whispered a reminder to Feng Jianxuan. Why was she always in a daze when she came to the palace this time? If she accidentally angered the empress, she would be condemned to be looked down upon. At the very least, she would be beaten up to twenty times.

"Empress Dowager's praise is too much. This subject's just like the willow tree. You're the heavenly one, esteemed lady. You make even this subject enraptured." Empress Lu was overjoyed upon hearing Feng Jianxuan's words, and covered her mouth as she chuckled.

"The women of the Feng family have always been good. Whether it's your sister or you, I like them quite a lot."

As she spoke, Empress Lu took the dim sum beside her and placed it in front of Feng Jianxuan, smiling as she said, "Our palace's chef was personally bestowed by the emperor himself. Making pastries is of the highest quality, you can try it."

"Thank you for your gift, Esteemed Empress." Feng Jianxuan respectfully picked up a piece and nibbled on a corner.

"Today, the Japanese palace has invited you here for another matter. That is, the matter between you and A'Yu."

Feng Jianxuan immediately choked on the pastries, her little face red.
