Half in the river wind, half in the clouds
Chapter 166 East Palace
In fact, since Jiang Fei married Li Longji, although she was still wary of Jiang Feng, she no longer had as strong hostility as when she was in Liangzhou.
Especially during the time when Jiang Feng had a falling out with Li Longye and parted ways with Shen Guxing, she was being advised everywhere, and Jiang Fei was always willing to help.
But once Jiang Feng's situation was reversed, she immediately became defensive and hostile.
Due to various reasons, Jiang Fei's attitude towards Jiang Feng was extremely cold at the full moon banquet.
Jiang Feng didn't notice and thought that she was still brooding over the punishment Princess Taiping had given her during the autumn hunt.
Through Dou Ding's description, Jiang Feng has already determined the fact that Jiang Fei harmed her. Although she will not assert her power again and make Jiang Fei pay the price, she cannot be free of grudges for the intentional harm caused by blatant and presumptuous behavior.
Therefore, she felt that the current state of the two of them was very good. They did not need to deliberately show their sisterly love, nor would they confront each other and get angry.
Intentional estrangement is better than false enthusiasm and better than vicious calculation.
However, a few days after the full moon banquet, Jiang Fei suddenly sent out an invitation, inviting all the women and children of the Jiang family to a small gathering at the East Palace, and Jiang Feng was on the list.
Jiang Feng wanted to find a reason to refuse, but before he could say anything, he was rejected by Old Lady Jiang.
The old lady raised her eyebrows and curled her lips, saying, "Don't think you can just pretend to be lazy and not move. Your second sister has sent an invitation and asked you to go. If you don't go, others will want to be the prince's concubine. How can you not invite your own sister?"
Jiang Feng said with a smile: "Before, my second sister never called me, I thought she didn't want me to go."
Old Mrs. Jiang choked.
Although she doted on Jiang Fei, what Jiang Feng said was correct.
But she still said bitterly: "Since you came to Chang'an, you have stayed at home for a few days! Even if your sister wanted to call you, she couldn't find you."
Jiang Feng never got angry because of Mrs. Jiang's partiality. He still happily took the blame on himself and said, "Sister invited me but I didn't go. I was ungrateful and it was my fault. Sister didn't invite me because I didn't go home. It was also my fault."
Old Mrs. Jiang was speechless.
This was indeed what she meant, but it still sounded harsh when she said it out loud.
Then he stopped talking.
Naturally, Jiang Feng would not have another conflict with an old lady.
On that day, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren dressed neatly, got in a carriage, and headed straight for the East Palace.
Jiang Feng was no longer unfamiliar with this royal palace.
When they arrived at Miao Ze Hall where Jiang Fei lived, a palace maid was already waiting there, leading the three of them all the way to the main hall.
Jiang Fei was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking noble. When she saw Jiang Feng, she was quite enthusiastic.
Jiang Fei put a lot of thought into this gathering. The kitchen prepared a variety of snacks according to the three people's preferences, and lunch also had authentic Liangzhou flavor.
Jiang Fei also invited a troupe from the Western Regions. When the music sounded and the dancers danced, they seemed to have returned to Liangzhou, a city full of Western style.
The older you get, the more you miss your homeland.
Mrs. Jiang is the oldest, so she has to read more arduously.
I was homesick and started to cry.
Jiang Fei said proudly: "The prince was worried about me living in the deep palace, so he specially arranged this singing and dancing troupe for me."
Old Mrs. Jiang rubbed her eyes, cried with joy, and said "good" several times in a row.
Jiang Fei pointed at the table full of food and wine and said, "The prince knew that the old lady, mother and sister were coming today, so he specially invited an old chef who was used to cooking Liangzhou cuisine."
Jiang's mother said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes the girl so much, the old lady and I are relieved."
Jiang Fei changed the subject, looking depressed, and said to Jiang's mother: "I live in the deep palace, it is inevitable that I feel lonely. This time I want my sister to accompany me for a few days."
Jiang Feng was shocked.
Jiang's mother also looked hesitant.
Before Jiang's mother could speak, Old Lady Jiang immediately retorted: "Your sister is the one who is most likely to cause trouble. The Eastern Palace is not like home. If something goes wrong, how will it end?"
Jiang Fei smiled and pulled Jiang Feng over, saying to Old Lady Jiang: "Grandma, Ah Feng will be a princess in the future, and she is very mature. Besides, she will live far away in Luoyang after marrying the prince, and it will be difficult for us sisters to be together again."
Old Lady Jiang glanced at Jiang Feng and said, "You better be more careful and don't cause trouble for your sister."
Jiang Feng was worried and replied, "Yes."
After lunch, Crown Prince Li Longji sent someone to say, "Please don't be so reserved, old lady, madam, and young lady. Just treat it as your own home and don't be too formal."
After hearing this, the three of them stood up respectfully and thanked him.
In the evening, Mrs. Jiang and her mother said goodbye and left.
It seemed as if there were only two sisters left in the huge Miao Ze Hall, and there was silence for a moment.
After a while, a palace maid came to announce that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be here soon.
Jiang Fei was quite surprised, and Jiang Feng was also very nervous. Just as the two sisters were about to get up to greet them, Li Longji had already walked in.
Seeing Jiang Feng, he was not surprised and said with a smile: "Ah Feng is a rare guest. Stay with your sister for a few more days."
Jiang Feng responded with “yes”.
Li Longji sat down steadily. Jiang Fei poured a cup of tea for Li Longye and said with a smile, "Ah Feng is bored at home and always misses the Fifth Prince Xue, so I will let her stay in the palace for a few more days."
Li Longji held the teacup, thought for a moment, and said, "According to the date, Wulang should have set out from Youzhou and returned by now."
Jiang Fei smiled and said, "That's good. It saves us from having another idiot in the family."
Li Longji also drank tea with a smile. He only took a small sip, then put down the teacup and said to Jiang Feng, "The tea brewed by Afeng tastes very good to me. When you have nothing to do, teach your tea art to your second sister."
Jiang Fei's expression changed after hearing this, but it only lasted for a moment.
Jiang Feng stood up and replied, "Yes."
Li Longji felt that Jiang Feng was very frugal with words and wanted to embarrass her, so he asked, "Have you visited your aunt recently?"
Jiang Feng was shocked and didn't know why Li Longji suddenly asked about Princess Taiping.
She could only answer truthfully: "During the first month of the year, I wanted to pay a visit to the Empress, but I asked to see her twice and the Empress was not available. So..."
She glanced at Li Longji and continued, "That's why I haven't seen the princess yet."
Jiang Feng was now extremely grateful that Princess Taiping avoided her.
Otherwise, she was really worried that the prince would develop a grudge against her.
Li Longji still asked knowingly, "Doesn't your aunt like you very much? How did you offend her so much that she doesn't even want to see you anymore?"
Jiang Feng was terrified and said quickly, "I am stupid and don't know."
Li Longji certainly knew why Princess Taiping didn't want to see her, and he also knew that Jiang Feng chose the latter between Princess Taiping and Li Longye.
But he still said: "Yesterday when I was drinking with the Duke of Ying, he was still nagging and saying that you are an ungrateful person."
