Chapter 165: Palace Change 9
le Li, go find Wan'er. I'll accompany her in the sun today."Feng Lingxi smiled, and Ye Xi was stunned.Looking at the smile on the queen's face, what did he just hearThe Queen said to bring Wan'er here..."Third Sister, you can't say it like that. The affairs of the General's Mansion have nothing to do with me anymore. Whether you allow it or not is your business, and I have nothing to do with it."
Feng Lingxi's eyes were cold. She actually wanted to drag her down and make her the scapegoat, it seems she really underestimated this white lotus.
Wind and Rain clenched his fists, looking at Feng Ling Xi's eyes full of tears.
"Fourth Princess, do you really want to cut ties with me, severing our sisterly bond"
"Even if you let me call you Big Sister Three again, you're still my Big Sister Three."
Feng Lingxi glanced at her, then looked around at everyone watching them. Tears swirled in Feng Yu Xi's eyes as she stood there. Anyone who didn't know the truth would think Feng Lingxi was bullying her.
"Miss Third, with tears welling up in her eyes, looked at His Majesty's beloved concubine. If one didn't know any better, they would think the concubine was bullying you. With so many people watching, Miss Third still noticed this." Dugu Cheng spoke, Feng Yuxi hurriedly wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I just think about my wife and I get so sad, I could cry."
Feiyu Xi wiped her tears as she spoke, drawing the attention of those around her. Feng Lingxi glanced coldly at them, "My mother has a difficult life, Third Sister, don't be sad. My brother and I still have to see our Empress Dowager, so I won't chat with you anymore."
When Feng Ling finished speaking, Yu Xi's eyes turned even redder. As she watched her leave, tears welled up in his eyes again.
The people around were whispering, not too loud but not too quiet either. They were all trying to figure out what Feng Yuxi and Feng Lingxi had said to each other, for it had made Feng Yuxi cry red eyes.
After Feng Ling married the Fourth Prince, she truly became arrogant and self-important. Relying on Consort Shu's favor, she even disowned her own natal family, General Fu’s household.
"That's right. I heard that Feng Side Concubine went to the Fourth Prince's Residence to look for her, but she was turned away."
"Wasn't the Wind General blasted out"
The gossip in the palace spread quickly and reached Feng Lingxi's ears. Dugu Cheng looked at Xi'er, who was silent, and comforted her, "These rumors are to be feared, Xi'er don't take them to heart."
Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a smile, "Your Highness seems to underestimate me. These are just minor tricks, not worth my attention."
Du Gucheng saw her still smiling, he held her hand, interlocking his fingers with hers, and said softly, "Wang is very happy that Xi'er can think this way."
This is the Feng Lingxi he knew, such petty tricks couldn't trouble her.
"My Lord, words can be powerful, and even more so today on the Empress's birthday. If someone were to exploit this occasion for personal gain, it wouldn't bode well for the Princess."
Ye Xi reminded, looking at the king and queen getting better, she was very happy for them.
Duke Cheng, learning of Feng Lingxi's words and a smirk playing on his lips, said, "Their mouths belong to them, let them say what they want. They can paint Xi’er in any light, but it won’t change this King's feelings for her. Perhaps their words even hold the power to ward off evil spirits."
Feng Lingxi was amused by his words, and glared at him with displeasure. “Your Highness has made me sound like a demoness.”
Dugu Cheng smiled contentedly, looking at Feng Ling Xi's eyes with even more tenderness, "Even if she is a mother demon, this king loves her deeply."
slick and suave
Feng Lingxi was angry, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden. She truly enjoyed this way of getting along now.
Feng Yu Xi's little tricks are nothing more than wanting people to feel that she was wronged. This really begs the question, will she even explain herself
"Xi'er, do you think Feng Yu Xi will explain things to them"
"Explanation is definitely going to be given, but what form it takes will depend on them."
Dugu Cheng looked at the helplessness in her eyes and said, "Come, let's go see Empress Dowager."
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng arrived at Shu Fei's palace. Shu Fei was already waiting for them, and upon seeing them, she broke into a smile.
"Daughter-in-law greets the Empress Dowager."
"Xier, come sit here with your mother."
Feng Lingxi walked to Shu Fei's side and sat down. Shu Fei beckoned, and she saw a maid carrying a box from the side and placing it in front of them.
"Mother, what is this"
Shufei smiled and opened the box, taking out a beautiful golden hairpin. “This was bestowed upon your mother by your father emperor. Your mother is getting on in years, and it doesn’t look as good on her anymore, so I’ll give it to you.”
Hearing it was a gift from the Imperial Father, Feng Lingxi hurriedly declined.
"Mother Empress, this golden hairpin is so precious, the daughter-in-law cannot accept it."
Feng Ling Xi reached out to take it, but Shu Fei grabbed her hand and pretended to be angry, "Why can't you take it Your mother gave it to you, just accept it. Today is the Empress's birthday, those wives of officials present wear jewelry more valuable than yours. Don't you want to embarrass your mother"
Feng Lingxi's face changed slightly, and she quickly said, "Daughter-in-law dares not. This golden hairpin was bestowed by the Emperor upon you. Empress Dowager gave it to daughter-in-law, what if the Emperor asks..."
"Let your father give this to your mother."
Upon hearing what her mother said, Feng Lingxi had no choice but to accept it, “Thank you, Mother, for your kindness.”
Upon seeing her accept it, the smile on Shu Fei's face became even more radiant.
"Come, let me see it."
Shufeng hurriedly helped her put it on and, looking at her son standing beside her, she hastily asked, "Chenger, does Xier look good with the hairpin"
獨孤城 looked at Feng Lingxi, a smile in his eyes, "Mother's eyesight is naturally good. Xi'er looks even more beautiful wearing this hairpin."
"You have good taste, kid. You know your stuff."
When the concubine heard her son praise his wife, she finally nodded with satisfaction.
Feng Lingxi was indeed made a little embarrassed by the two of them, mother and son.
"Imperial Concubine Shu, the Emperor sent me to ask when you will allow the Fourth Princess Consort and the Fourth Prince to come see him."
Feng Lingxi's face changed slightly. Did the Emperor want to see them and consult with his mother
"You tell the Emperor, just say to let them come over later."
The smile gradually faded from Shu Fei's face. Seeing the palace maid leave, she took Feng Lingxi's hand and said in a serious tone, "Xi'er, Mother concubine has something to tell you."
"Mother, please speak."
Shufei's attitude made Feng Lingxi uneasy. Looking at her mother concubine's expression, things seemed complicated.
"Xier, the Empress and your father have spoken, they want to arrange a concubine for Cheng'er."
Wind Ling was stunned, a concubine
Although she had long guessed that this day would come, hearing her mother's words now made her heart ache.
"Who's daughter is she planning to choose for her son this time"
獨孤城的眼神冰冷可怕，淑妃不想再隱瞞他們，“是丞相孫女和兵部尚書千金。”
"I never expected all the officials to have become hers."
Dugu Cheng clenched his fist in anger, "Mother concubine, did the emperor agree"
Shu Fei looked at Feng Ling Xi in silence, holding her hand and saying, "Your father had no choice. If he didn't agree, the Empress would have forced him to agree anyway. Besides, the Prime Minister also spoke up. This matter was beyond your father's control to refuse. The entire court is under the Empress's influence, and your father is powerless."t all comes from Dugu Su. With her memory restored, she knows what happened to Xi'er and Cheng'er. Filled with guilt, she wants to see them and explain everything.Since his ascension to the throne, D...
