Upon returning to the banquet hall with Xuan Fei Yu, she immediately saw that there was an extra young girl sitting with the princes. That girl sat next to the fifth prince, Xuan Tian Yan, and had lifted her cup to drink. Her large sleeve fell to her elbow, revealing a very white wrist. But that wrist was incapable of attracting Xuan Tian Yan's gaze, as he continued to stare at the white crystal earring.
If that was not Feng Fen Dai, then who else could it be?
"Isn't she drinking happily with his Highness the fifth prince, so how come you said that something happened to her?" Feng Yu Heng pinched Xuan Fei Yu's cheeks, but her gaze turned towards Feng Chen Yu, her eyes becoming chilly.
Xuan Fei Yu responded seriously: "Because I once heard father Prince say that fifth uncle's family is filled with beautiful concubines, but the girls from good families all shun him and do not dare interact with him. Just now, it was fifth uncle who went to invite the Feng family's young miss to drink, so when I saw it, I quickly ran out to call you. Who knew..." Xuan Fei Yu looked towards the fifth prince and said in confusion: "Your younger sister seems pretty happy."
Feng Yu Heng coldly snorted and pulled Xuan Fei Yu back to her seat, "Since she is happy, elder sister will not go ruin their fun."
Xuan Fei Yu nodded, "That's right, I see that your younger sister does not look like an easy one to deal with. Deity big sister should not go worry about it."
The young child stayed with Feng Yu Heng to play for a little while longer before running off. Xiang Rong quickly leaned close and lowered her voice to say to Feng Yu Heng: "Nothing will happen to fourth sister, right? I've seen her drink many cups of wine."
"What can possibly happen?" She looked at Fen Dai and saw that girl throw her head back and down another cup of wine. Without any need for the fifth prince to push her, she continued to drink: "Xiang Rong, remember this. The more someone wants to ascend to the position of Empress, the more harsh their fall will be."
Her voice was raised slightly when she said this. The people further away could not hear it, but Chen Yu, who was next to Xiang Rong, heard it in its entirety.
This left her feeling that Feng Yu Heng's words were directed at her, but she did not care. Fen Dai suffering a harsh fall did not mean that she would fall. Based on how the third prince had sent someone to pass along a message earlier telling her to hand the earrings off to Fen Dai, she could determine that the third prince was serious about her. She originally was not willing to part with the earrings, but she did not think that a pair of small earrings would actually cause the fifth prince to be so entranced. She could not help but secretly feel shocked.
If she did not give it to Fen Dai, and she continued to wear the full set of white crystal ornaments, would that fifth prince, who had been always absurdly and excessively lecherous, not have rush over?
Originally, she was unable to understand why the eldest prince paid attention to her for no reason. Now that she looked at it, it was not because of her beauty that caused him to take action. It was the opposite, and it was a trap.
Upon thinking of this, Chen Yu immediately picked up her cup and stood up. Walking in large strides, she went towards where the princes sat, only stopping when she reached Xuan Tian Ye.
Feng Yu Heng watched Chen Yu drink wine with Xuan Tian Ye, and Huang Quan spoke into her ear, saying: "Could it be that the his Highness the eldest prince's trick with the crystal ornaments was seen through by his Highness the third prince?"
She smile but said: "Even if it was seen through, what can we do? Qing Shuang's matter was merely something I made up, but do you think that his Highness the third prince, who has always been suspicious of others, would not keep it in the back of his mind?"
