This whip struck deep into the hearts of all the Feng family members, and they saw a streak of blood appear on Feng Zihao's body in an instant, but no one dared to say another word about it.

  Feng Jin Yuan understood that the king was a god he couldn't afford to offend, and it was pointless trying to reason with him. If his son could learn a lesson from this beating, then it wouldn't be in vain.

  Feng Zi Hao was just muddled, not too stupid, and Xuan Tian Ming's whip also woke him up. He couldn't help but scold himself for being an idiot, why did he have to say that sentence?

  He hastily knelt down on the ground, muttering: "Your Highness spare my life, Your Highness spare my life."

  Xuantian Mingli didn't say anything else, just waved his hand, and a eunuch beside him picked up the food box and walked towards Feng Yuexiang.

  When he arrived at the front, however, he found Feng Yu Heng and Feng Jin Yuan standing side by side. The eunuch did not know which one was the future princess consort and could not help but be stunned on the spot.

  Xuān Tiān Míng saw him hesitate, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

  "How can you not even tell which one is the future queen?" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and suddenly changed from her previous lazy but sinister tone to a coquettish voice, saying: "Huang Huang, come here."

  Feng Yu Huan smiled and walked towards him, feeling that the man wearing a golden mask, although covering his handsome face that brought disaster to the country and its people, but under such good sunlight, the light reflected from the mask was so dazzling that it made people unable to look straight at it yet couldn't help being attracted.

  The eunuch was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

  When Feng Yuexiang walked to his side, Xuan Tianming finally let the sedan chair be put down, and then naturally held Feng Yuexiang's hand. He looked at the eunuch and said, "Remember which one is the king's consort, as for that one on the side..." He cast his gaze towards Feng Chenyu.

  Feng Chenyu had a bad habit, she knew she was born extremely beautiful, almost any man in front of her had no resistance, otherwise Feng Zihao would not have done that thing at the beginning. This made her develop a kind of abnormal self-confidence, and not only was she confident, but she also enjoyed adding a few more points of charm to herself with her eyes and expressions when men's gazes fell on her.

  So when Xuan Tian Ming looked over at her, she naturally revealed that kind of demeanor.

  It's just that she forgot, the one who is watching her is Xuan Tian Ming.

  "She is also the daughter of the Feng family." Xuan Tian Ming muttered to himself, then asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Looking at her age, she should be your eldest daughter, right?" She looked older than his own daughter, Heng Heng.

  "Feng Jin Yuan Lao replied honestly: 'To answer Your Highness, it is indeed my eldest daughter.' Then he hastily said to Chun Xuan Yu: 'Don't you hurry up and pay your respects to the Crown Prince!'"

  Chen Yu made a curtsy and said with all her charm: "I am Chen Yu, at your service, Your Majesty."

  Xuān Tiān Míng "ēn?" yī shēng, bǔ wèn le jù: "Nǐ shuō nǐ jiào shén me?"

  Translation:

  "En?" Xuān Tiān Míng asked, then added another question: "What did you say your name was?"

  Chen Yu replied: "Feng Chen Yu."

  "Oh." He nodded, suddenly enlightened, "This name is indeed quite practical."

  The confidence of Feng Chenyu swelled up again.

  Although the Ninth Prince is severely injured now, his former glory and the emperor's favor still exist. Even if they can't form a good relationship with Qin and Jin, it's not bad to curry favor with him. If the Ninth Prince can devote himself to her, it will be easy for her to deal with Feng Yuexian in the future.

  Thinking of this, Chen Yu's smile on his face became even more charming, and he even boldly raised his eyes to stare at Xuan Tianming.

  Unfortunately, she forgot that this was Xuan Tian Ming, the Ninth Imperial Son who never played by conventional rules.

  The beauty's sweet dreams were not yet complete when she heard that man say: "You're so ugly, you've scared the fish to death."

  Pfft!

  Feng Yu Hong couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. She quickly turned her back to face Xuan Tian Ming, coughing for a long time before she calmed down.

  Xuān Tiān Míng didn't think his words were funny at all, Fèng Yǔ Háng coughed while helping him pat his back, and kept saying: "Be careful, you can choke yourself just by breathing, how silly!" There was no blame in his tone, only doting. "Girls should grow up to be like our Háng Háng, that's what I call beautiful, don't you think?"

  The attendants who followed replied in unison: "Your Highness is right."

  The people of Fengfu were stunned for a moment, and Feng Yuexi quietly gave a thumbs up to Xuan Tianming: "Good vision."

  Phoenix's eyes welled up with tears, and her two hands clenched into fists inside her sleeves.

  What a humiliation! This is truly a great shame!

  She has grown up so big and no one dares to say she is ugly, if this appearance can scare the fish to sink, then let all other women not live.

  The people in the Feng Mansion mostly have the same idea as Chen Yu, no matter what Shen's family is like, Chen Yu's external behavior is still very good, and she never treats her aunts rudely, and also cares about her younger sister. Moreover, she is indeed extremely beautiful, isn't this Ninth Prince speaking nonsense?

  Feng Xiang Rong secretly nodded in agreement, thinking that this prince and her second sister were indeed a perfect match. Both of them had the talent to talk nonsense with their eyes open, and when they got angry, it was a match made in heaven! Feng Xiang Rong felt she needed to work harder now. Her second sister, whom she had admired since childhood, was already so great, and she couldn't fall behind. Otherwise, her second sister would run too far ahead, and she wouldn't be able to catch up.

  But beside her, Fen Dai was completely immersed in Xuan Tian Mo's aura and couldn't extricate herself. Her eyes stared straight at the face wearing a golden mask, knowing that the appearance beneath was ruined, yet she thought it looked good, even with the mask on.

  Especially Xuan Tian Ming held Feng Yu Hu's hand and patted Feng Yu Hu's back... If the person being pampered was her, Feng Fen Dai, it would be even better.

  Just as Fen Dai was fully immersed in her boundless fantasies, her arm was suddenly twisted by someone.

  She was startled and turned her head to look, only to find that Mr. Han was staring at her fiercely, his eyes full of warning.

  Mrs. Han knew her daughter too well, and with just one glance from Fen Dai, she could see what was on the girl's mind.

  But everything can be tolerated for her, except this matter.

  Can anyone provoke the Ninth Prince? Or can Feng Yu Heng be suppressed by powder and rouge?

  Even if she is no longer the legitimate daughter, she is still the imperial princess consort. A humble girl like you will never be able to obtain the position of a prince's legitimate wife in the future.

  Moreover, since Feng Yu Heng returned, the Feng manor has not had a single quiet day. One thing after another kept happening, and it was clear that Feng Yu Heng wanted to seek justice for Yao shi's sake regarding what happened back then, and it was also clear that she came back to settle scores with Shen shi. This muddy water, she did not want Xiang Rong to be dragged into it, fearing that in the end, no one would know how they died.

  Unfortunately, Feng Pian Dai never listened to Han's words. Although she received the warning gaze, she still didn't want to move her eyes away from Xuan Tian Ming.

  Han's heart cooled down, Fen Dai was a child with an extremely high temper, she had never been satisfied with just being a concubine daughter of the Feng manor, whatever Feng Yu Heng and Feng Chen Yu had, she wanted to fight for it. Even if she couldn't get it, at least she would argue and vent her anger.

  What I'm afraid of is that she's going to make a move again and compete with Feng Yuexian for the Ninth Prince's affections, if that's really the case, it would be disastrous.

  For a moment, everyone in the Phoenix manor was stunned by Xuan Tianming and couldn't speak. Feng Jin Yuan hesitated and opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere: "Your Highness, please sit down inside."

  Xuān Tiān Míng shook his head, "It's cool outside."

  Isn't it cool? But obviously you're under the scorching sun.

  Feng Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand and glared at Xuan Tian Ming.

  But in this glance, she received a message from him, as if he was saying: Don't be impatient, there's still a good show to watch.

  As expected, Xuan Tian Ming continued, "Today, I came to the mansion for two main reasons. The first and most important one is to bring food for our family's Huang Huang. The second reason is that I, the king, want to ask if the antique shop called Qi Bao Zhai in the capital city is a property of the Feng family?"

  When she mentioned this, Feng Yuhe frowned and said in a low voice, "Why are you asking this? The shop is mine."

  He patted her hand lightly and gave her a reassuring glance.

  Feng Jin Yuan had always been unclear about how many shops his family had, let alone what they were called, so he could only turn to the old lady.

  The old lady hastily said: "Replying to Your Highness, Qí Bǎo Zhāi is a shop under the name of Fǔ Lǐ's Yáo Niáng, and now ā Héng is in charge."

  Xuān Tiān Míng nodded, "En, now that's in the past." As he spoke, he played with the whip in his hand, causing the old lady's heart to skip a beat, fearing that this god would lash out at her with a single stroke of displeasure.

  "In the past..." The old lady didn't know what the Ninth Prince meant by asking this, as Qí Bǎo Zhāi wasn't even in charge of it? She thought for a moment and couldn't understand, so she simply told the truth: "Before Ah Huang returned to the capital, it was managed by the main mother who was in charge of the middle courtyard in the mansion."

  Feng Yu polished the jade pendant for a while, then added: "It was on the day I met you at Ya Xian Building that my mother handed over the deed of the shop to me. Qi Bao Zhai hadn't even had time to take a look yet."

  "That's right." Xuan Tian Ming sat up straight and said to Feng Jin Yuan, "Feng, the day I returned to the palace after dismissing my troops, I ordered someone to go to Qi Bao Zhai to pick out a gift to bring back to the palace to please the Empress Dowager. Who knew that they would actually buy a fake one."

  Feng Jin Yuan was taken aback and hastily asked: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

  "Huh? Did I not make myself clear?"

  Feng Jin's cold sweat was all over his face.

  "Bring him up." Xuan Tian Ming suddenly lowered his voice and shouted coldly.

  Immediately afterwards, two guards from outside the mansion brought a man over.

  That man was pushed to the front of Xuan Tian Ming, and with a plop, he was pressed to his knees on the ground. Then, that man loudly shouted: "Your Highness spare my life! I was instructed by someone else, it was the Madam of Feng Fu who replaced all the goods in the store with fake ones and told me to sell them outside! Your Highness spare my life! Spare my life!"

  Feng Yu Huan raised an eyebrow, "Even the things in the antique shop have been replaced? Those are worth even more than medicinal materials."

  "This is the shopkeeper of Qibaozhai. The 'Qing Shan Tu' by Tang Yingxuan that I, the king, have was obtained from his hands. You ask him yourselves what he gave me."

  As for this shopkeeper, the old lady indeed recognized him. So without waiting for Feng Jin Yuan to speak, she hurriedly asked: "Speak! What have you done?"

  Now, the shopkeeper didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and he knelt down with his head in his hands, confessing everything: "Over the years, the madam has been gradually replacing valuable items in the store. That 'Green Mountain Painting' was originally a masterpiece by Tang Xiang, a famous painter of the previous dynasty. But about half a year ago, the madam brought over a fake 'Green Mountain Painting' that was almost indistinguishable from the real one, and she took away the genuine painting! I didn't know that the person who came to buy the 'Green Mountain Painting' was sent by Your Highness; otherwise, even if you killed me, I wouldn't have dared to sell it!"
