He also asked her to eat less, fearing that she would have a sore throat when she woke up the next day, and finally told her to go to bed early. Sang Fu was impatient with Su Tang's nagging, so he pretended to be obedient and coaxed Su Tang to go and have a rest. After all, Su Tang was worried about his eldest daughter and went to the eldest daughter's yard again. Feng Youhe hasn't slept yet. How could she sleep after such a thing happened. She sat on the stool, looking at the candlelight dancing on the table, thinking about what her mother and sister had said. Why does my sister have to marry Song Chi?
Is it because he was rescued by Song Chi when he escaped from Hongxiu Tower, and they fell in love with each other for three months?
Or is it like what she said, that she will take what is hers, whether she likes it or not?
Or is there something else hidden behind what the mother said?
Feng Youhe couldn't figure it out, and the more he couldn't figure it out, the more confused he became. The maid Mo Shu on the side looked at the pale-faced young lady, feeling a little distressed. I couldn't help but complain: "It wasn't because of Miss Er that the Second Miss got lost in the first place. How could the second young lady blame all the faults on the young lady?
Although Miss Er has suffered a lot outside, those sufferings are not caused by you, Miss. After she came back, the young lady gave way to her and protected her everywhere, but what about the second young lady? But it breaks your heart. " Mo Shu thought that because the second lady got lost on the day of her birthday, she had never celebrated her birthday in all these years. Every time this day comes, Feng Mansion is eerily quiet.
She knew that the young lady blamed herself, and always believed that if she had not gone to Xiangguo Temple to see the flowers, the second young lady would not have gotten lost. But it was the second young lady who suggested going to Xiangguo Temple to see the flowers. Feng Youhe listened to these words without moving her expression. She thought, her sister relied on her very much when she was young. Now that the two sisters finally recognized each other, how could she hurt her?
Maybe what he told his mother was something else?
Could it be that my sister discovered something during the three months she spent with Song Chi in Lingzhou?
The more Feng Youhe thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Mo Shu didn't know what his young lady was thinking. Although the second young lady was pitiful, she and the young lady grew up together, so she naturally preferred her own young lady. And you can’t just target the second lady because she is pitiful and has suffered a lot outside? The young lady in her family has also suffered in the past thirteen years. Who hasn't suffered? Feng Youhe was about to say something when she heard a knock on the door. It was her mother. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but found that she had nothing to say. The two of them sat on the small platform together. Finally, Su Tang said: "In a blink of an eye, you are almost nineteen years old, the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and he cannot do without the queen these days. His Royal Highness is weak by nature and only listens to the words of the Crown Princess. Because of some old things, the Crown Princess and the Queen are not getting along. You were at Honglu Temple, where the Crown Princess was interested in foreign culture and called you from time to time to ask for advice on foreign writing. The Empress is interested in your flower planting skills and wants you to recreate the scene of her first encounter with the Emperor at the Flower Goddess Festival next month. Yao Huang, Wei Zi, Dou Lu, Zhao Fen, Imperial Physician Huang, Drunken Yang Concubine... there are so many varieties with different habits, you must be very tired. I have to balance the time between the Queen and the Crown Princess, and I also have to go to the flower house every day to take care of the peonies..." "You are so tired, but you still organized today's flower viewing banquet, and even specially requested a decree from the Queen. You just don't want Sang Fu, who has just returned home, to be looked down upon by the noble ladies in the capital." Listening to her mother's words, Feng Youhe's eyes were sore. It turned out that everything she did was seen by her mother. These days, her mother didn't only have eyes for her sister. "My mother knows that you are extremely talented in cultivating peonies, but you prefer to work at Honglu Temple. Once the Flower God Festival is over, leave the flower cultivation at home to your mother. Mother can't hide behind you all the time. My daughter has made so many efforts to help the Feng family gain a foothold in Beijing. It's time for her to do what she likes. " Feng Youhe raised his head in shock, but he met his mother's happy and guilty eyes. She hugged him in her arms and continued: "Your maternal grandfather's family has been doing business for generations, down to your cousin's generation. Empress Meng ordered that Daxia trade with the surrounding small countries. Your cousin traveled all over the world and even brought back a wife from Persia. When your engagement is clarified and the Flower Goddess Festival is settled, he will go Live in your maternal grandfather's house for a while. I heard that in May next year, the emperor will send an envoy to Persia. Haven't you always wanted to go out for a walk? This is an opportunity. "
Feng Youhe was completely shocked. Now he could only think about the mission to Persia and could not remember the pain and embarrassment during the day. After being shocked, it suddenly dawned on her that her mother had always known what she wanted. I didn't mention it before, maybe because she was engaged. Feng Youhe thought that what she just said was enough to shock her. Who knew what her mother said next would once again make her feel that everything today was weird, like a bizarre story in a storybook. "Song Chi had a childhood sweetheart, his cousin Gu Mingzhao. Gu Mingzhao loved her wholeheartedly. Mrs. Song once told me that when you get married, she wants to fulfill the feelings of Gu Mingzhao, but she is just a concubine and will never sway you. status. The day Mrs. Song came to talk to me, your sister overheard her. She said that Song Chi not only had a delicate and lovely cousin, but also had a charming first-in-law. She also said that Song Chi was not your good friend. match. " Feng Youhe frowned as she listened. Song Chi had told her about the marriage. At that time, Song Chi was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable in her heart, so he promised that he would not lay a finger on the first-in-law. After she passed the door, he gave the roommate a sum of money to let her out of the house. Although it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines in this world, they have stayed with the Queen for a long time. Accustomed to the love between the empress and the emperor, and the affection of her parents that it was enough for one person to stay together, Feng Youhe also began to dream of being together for the rest of her life. That's why she was extremely happy when Song Chi promised her. But she didn't expect that before she got married, her future mother-in-law had already found a good concubine. Perhaps because her mother's words revealed too much information, Feng Youhe felt that she didn't feel anything at all. "Mrs. Song thinks that women should help their husbands take care of the housework at home instead of showing up outside like men. She wants you to resign after getting married and be Song Chi's wife in peace and contentment." Su Tang said and sighed. One breath. "The idea of women serving as officials only gradually became available after the Queen began to participate in government affairs. Now the Emperor's health is getting worse. The empress and the crown prince were not getting along, so my father and I thought that this official position might not last long. Marry Song Chi and you will be stable for the rest of your life. But compared to a stable life, mother wants you to be happy more. It's also your mother's fault. If your mother and your father hadn't known this and still chose to hide it from you and insist on the engagement, your sister wouldn't have done the wrong thing she did today. "
