Chapter 33
In late autumn, the maple leaves in the courtyard of Fengfu show a new scene.

In the maple forest, a middle-aged man was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery in the distance, letting the autumn wind blow a few strands of gray hair on his temples, the sleeves of his long gown fluttered in the wind, showing a slightly gloomy look. The back, feeling gloomy and unable to approach.

Feng Jing clenched his cuffs tightly and frowned, but he noticed footsteps coming from behind, although the sound was soft, it still couldn't escape Feng Jing's ears.

The footsteps stopped behind Feng Jing, the cold wind of late autumn blew, and a faint fragrance filled the air, it was the smell of rouge powder.

"What are you doing here?" Feng Jing's face was gloomy, and his deep voice was colder than that autumn wind.

The woman behind Feng Jing was wearing a late autumn thin leather jacket with a white fox fur collar, her black hair dancing in the wind.

Fair cheeks, creamy skin, light pink fringed skirt, draped in silk brocade, pretty like a girl, luxurious like a lady.

But there was a hint of humility on her face, behind Feng Jing, she seemed to be just a servant.

As the hostess of Fengfu, she is just a decoration, she has no way of knowing everything about Fengjing, and dare not ask.

The humble one is not as good as a grain of sand, only at the banquet, Feng Jing will occasionally pretend to be in love with her, and they can't speak a few words at all on weekdays.

"Concubine, I have a few words I want to say to the master." The eldest lady pursed her lips tightly and said in a timid voice.

Feng Jing closed his eyes, and said with a look of indifference: "Let's talk."

"The concubine has heard that the crown prince recently accepted Xiao Yirou as a side concubine, but the candidate for the main concubine has always been vacant. Is this the case?" the eldest lady said cautiously.

Feng Jing's originally calm face suddenly became sharper when he heard the prince's son.

"Who are you talking about? The prince? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to ask more about the prince?" Feng Jing suddenly opened his eyes, and his words were full of questioning tone.

The eldest lady knew that she had said something wrong, so she held her breath and said: "But, now only Mu Xue is qualified to be the princess of our Feng family, and she is also your daughter, don't you think the master will think about it carefully?" Mu Xue?"

Both are also Feng Jing's daughters, Feng Jiuge and Feng Fuyao failed to marry the crown prince and become the current crown princess.

Even if it was a turn, it would be Feng Muxue's turn, but the eldest lady waited and waited, but Feng Jing didn't seem to have any intention of introducing Feng Muxue to the prince.

Da Furen really couldn't wait any longer, so she made such a bad move and came to ask Feng Jing in person for questioning.

Feng Jing closed his eyes again, and said with a lukewarm look: "Mu Xue has a humble background, how can she be worthy of being a crown prince?"

"But Feng Fuyao is only a concubine, why did she..."

"Needless to say, if I say no, I won't! What do you know, a woman?!" Feng Jing's roar blocked all the words that the lady wanted to say.

Although Da Furen was dissatisfied in her heart, she could only swallow her anger, and looked at Feng Jing's expression from the corner of her eyes from time to time.

Feng Jing said coldly: "I don't know how many times I have told you, don't ask about the prince's affairs in the future, otherwise I will cut your tongue!"

Although the tone was calm, but the words were extremely cruel, and the Da Furen's heart felt cold when she said it.

"Master, I'm afraid I don't know yet. A few days ago, there was news from Prince Li's mansion that Feng Jiuge fell off his horse and almost died. If King Li hadn't rescued him early, he would have gone to see King Hades by now. Short-lived ghosts and shameful things like Feng Fuyao are eligible to marry the prince, why can't Mu Xue?"

While speaking, the eldest lady had tears in her eyes.

Feng Jing frowned, turned around and asked, "What did you say? Feng Jiuge fell off her horse?"

"Yeah, I heard it's very serious. Since I was a child, I thought this girl was short-lived, but I didn't expect that she almost died."

When the eldest lady mentioned Feng Jiuge, she still gritted her teeth with hatred. A faceless girl unexpectedly gave birth to an appearance that is overwhelming for no reason, and she can even marry Li Wang and become Li Wangfei. I have to be loved by the king.

Feng Jing narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"This Feng Jiuge really doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth. Now that she has become Princess Li, she doesn't take her mother's family seriously? She doesn't tell the master when something happens. What is it? We, Mu Xue, are the most filial, so we say Mu Xue is now the most suitable candidate to be the crown princess."

The eldest lady babbled on endlessly, but she never noticed that Feng Jing's face had become a little ugly and gloomy.

He shook his sleeves fiercely, and said with a cold snort: "You really think that this old man doesn't know Feng Muxue's true identity? If you weren't worried about damaging the reputation of Fengfu, you would have lost your place in Fengfu."

"Master..." The eldest lady walked out of the back garden with tears in her eyes. At this moment, Feng Muxue had already been waiting at the gate of the back garden.

Seeing his mother coming out from the back garden, he excitedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation, but saw that the eldest lady's face was unhappy, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Mother, how is it? Did Daddy agree?" Feng Muxue looked at the eldest lady worriedly and asked.

The eldest lady shook her head, Feng Muxue's complexion also sank, but it was more of hatred, why didn't she, Feng Muxue, have a chance to become a princess?
"Even that good-for-nothing Feng Jiuge can become Princess Li, but I don't even have the chance to become the Crown Princess?" Feng Muxue clenched her fists, and her heart was full of jealousy towards Feng Jiuge.

The eldest lady smiled wryly, thinking that when she married into Fengfu 15 years ago, Feng Jing's attitude towards her was extremely indifferent, and he only came to her room once a month. In order to be a widow, now she decided not to let her daughter live a miserable life like herself, so she decided to fight hard this time.

The once magnificent woman, now a mid-aged woman, has wasted her whole life in Feng's family, but she can't bear and is unwilling to see her daughter Feng Muxue do the same and end her life like this.

It is precisely because of staying alone in the vacant room for a long time that the eldest lady would do such extraordinary things, so Feng Muxue came into existence, but Feng Muxue still doesn't know about it.

"Mu Xue, don't worry, mother will definitely let you succeed in becoming a princess." The eldest lady said firmly with her lips pressed together.

The next day, a distinguished guest was welcomed in Prince Li's mansion. Prime Minister Feng Jing came to visit his injured daughter Feng Jiuge, and Li Wang Chu Lingjie and Princess Feng Jiuge went out to greet her in person.

"I didn't know that my father-in-law would be here, so I would be disappointed to welcome you." Chu Lingjie seemed to be respectful, but he seemed particularly alienated.

Feng Jiuge stood behind Chu Lingjie, looking coldly at Feng Jing's pretentious appearance, when did he care so much about his daughter?
The first thing Feng Jiuge thought of was the red lotus imprint on her wrist, but fortunately, she had already wrapped it in a bandage, and Feng Jing would not be able to see it for a while.

Feng Jing's gaze passed over Chu Lingjie and landed on Feng Jiuge.

"Jiu'er, are you feeling better? My father heard that you fell off a horse a few days ago, but I was so worried. Why didn't you send a letter to the mansion?"

Feng Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone was much gentler than before, as if he really cared about Feng Jiuge.

Feng Jiuge hooked his lips and chuckled, this Feng Jing really did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and now he wanted to get the secret he wanted to know from her, so he came to visit so hypocritically, in fact, Feng Jing's thoughts had long been Feng Jiuge saw through her.

He bowed and saluted, Feng Jiuge said: "It's just a slight injury, how dare you worry about it, Daddy?"

Chu Lingjie said: "Father-in-law, please come inside." Then the three of them headed towards Li Wang's residence.

Along the way, Chu Lingjie exchanged pleasantries with Feng Jing, while Feng Jiuge and the servant girl Lingyun followed behind.

"Princess, why did the prime minister come to see you suddenly? This is really a strange thing." Even Lingyun, the servant girl, could see that something was wrong.

Feng Jiuge sneered when he heard the words, and there was a touch of chill in his star eyes and said: "This is so strange, it's like the sun is coming out from the west."

Chu Lingjie hosted a banquet for Feng Jing. At the banquet, Chu Lingjie took the upper seat, followed by Feng Jing, and Feng Jiuge sat beside Chu Lingjie.

"My lord father-in-law is here, and I would like to offer you a toast." While speaking, Chu Lingjie had already downed a glass of wine.

Feng Jing raised his sleeves and had a drink with Chu Lingjie, but his eyes fell on Feng Jiuge again, and he said in a deep voice: "You girl, you really don't want to tell Dad about such a big thing. Is your injury better now?"

While talking, Feng Jing looked Feng Jiuge up and down, Feng Jiuge smiled gently and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just a hand scratch, Daddy don't have to worry about Jiu'er."

Feng Jiuge looks cute, but he has another plan in his heart.

During the banquet, Feng Jiuge left the banquet first on the grounds of changing the medicine, and Lingyun followed Feng Jiuge closely and returned to Luoyan Pavilion.

"Princess, why did we come back in such a hurry?" Lingyun looked curiously at Feng Jiuge's slightly hurried expression, puzzled.

Feng Jiuge smiled and said: "Can't you see that Feng Jing came here this time to target Ben Gong? He came to test Ben Gong, but it's a pity that his intentions have long been seen by Ben Gong It's clear, so even if it came, it would be in vain."

"Wangfei means, maybe it's because of..." Lingyun suddenly realized something, and covered her lips to avoid screaming.

Feng Jiuge raised his hand, and said resolutely between his brows and eyes: "Lingyun, take all the potions in my cabinet now, and rely on my Feng Jiuge's medical skills to cover up the imprint of such a small red lotus flower." It's not difficult, but you must keep this matter a secret for me and keep your mouth shut, now you are the only person in Li Palace who knows my mark."

Feng Jiuge rolled up his sleeves and stared at the imprint of the red lotus with gloomy eyes. How much trouble would such a small imprint cause?
