Chapter 1660: A Lifetime Together (68)
elf from her."Hungry."After finishing packing up, Wan'er suddenly spoke. Luoli looked at Wan'er with wide eyes, then glanced out at the pitch-black sky. "Three in the morning, you tell me you're hungr...Feng Lingxi raised her head to look at the emperor sitting above. Should she call him "father" But wouldn't that mess up her identity
"Just like with Xuan'er, address me as Your Majesty."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly changed her words, "Xi'er greets the Emperor."
"Mother, then how do we call her"
Feng Siqi whispered, her little head full of doubts, timidly looking at the emperor. The scene was very awkward.
Of course it's Imperial Ancestor, Grandfather.
The crown prince smiled, “Grandfather Emperor, the title of ‘Princess Shenglan’ bestowed seems to make the children rather uncomfortable.”
Feng Lingxi awkwardly chuckled, isn't that awkward But this bestowed title wasn't something she could choose.
"Your Majesty, Xi'er has now taken care of the Yao clan's affairs. I beg you to revoke your decree and grant her freedom. Although a princess is a position of honor, it is a shackle to her. Your servant begs you to give her freedom."
Mrs. Lu spoke up, and Feng Ling Xi was dumbfounded. Mrs. Lu actually knew her thoughts and pleaded for her in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, Xi'er begs you to take back the bestowment and allow your servant girl to be an ordinary person."
The Emperor showed no anger at all. He raised his hand and said with kindness, “When I bestowed upon you the title of princess, it was my hope that people would not mistreat you. I know you dislike constraints, and I won't force you. However, my imperial decree has already been issued, informing the entire world. It cannot be revoked. But don't worry, besides this title of princess, everything else remains as before. I will not restrict you or make things difficult for you. This title is merely a protection for you.”
The emperor's leniency left Feng Lingxi dumbfounded. Could there be such a good thing in the world
"Xi'er, quickly thank him."
With great joy, Madam Lu urged Feng Lingxi forward. Feng Lingxi hastily thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
"Wrong, call him Your Majesty."
The Crown Prince smiled and reminded her, but Feng Lingxi only felt a mess in her head. However, she still called out, "Grandfather Emperor." She didn't know what the Emperor was thinking, bestowing upon her the title of 'Saintly Bird Princess' and calling the Emperor 'Grandfather Emperor'.
"Grandfather, will Xier be able to return to the Lu family's home after this"
"This is up to you. I've already prepared a princess mansion for you in the capital. You can move in there with your children, or go live at the Lu family's place. It's entirely your choice."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Feng Lingxi was secretly surprised. This princess's mansion really gave her the status she deserved, but none of it was what she wanted.
"Hum softly, take the children to see the Empress Dowager, she misses you."
Yes.
Lady Lu got up and said to Feng Lingxi, "Come, I'll take you to see the Empress Dowager."
Feng Lingxi responded and bid farewell to the Emperor. She then went to the Empress Dowager's place. What surprised Feng Lingxi most was that the Crown Prince followed her all the way, and he even played with Siqi and Siyu, showing no airs of a Crown Prince at all. Instead, he seemed like one of the family, not like someone from the royal family at all.
This royal family of Xi Gu Country opened Feng Lingxi's eyes. Unlike other countries' palaces, where there was constant vying for power and jealousy, this one was peaceful. When the Empress Dowager saw them arrive, she greeted them with a smile. She took Feng Lingxi's hand, looking her up and down repeatedly, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Little Yin, this child is truly good."
"Xi'er pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
Waner and the others hurriedly followed to pay their respects, each with a dumbfounded expression, not knowing what to say.
"You have to call her 'Grandmother' just like me."
The Crown Prince hurriedly corrected Feng Lingxi, but a smile remained on his handsome face, as if he was used to her address. If she hadn't been married with children, just like the Imperial Grandfather said, this woman truly could be captivating.
Feng Lingxi hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandmother Empress."
The Empress smiled and waved her hand, "It's alright, Xiner. Don't scare her."
"Grandmother said so."
The crown prince looked at Feng Lingxi's embarrassed expression and hurriedly said, "Grandmother Empress, can I often visit Sister Xi'er in the future"
"Of course, you can be siblings now. Make sure to take good care of her."
Feng Lingxi was extremely embarrassed. This sudden emergence of siblings was truly awkward beyond words.
"Xiao Yin, did you encounter any problems on this trip"
The Empress spoke softly, engaging in conversation with Madam Lu. Feng Lingxi listened by the side, playing her part, hoping to leave the palace soon. She felt very uncomfortable staying here.
"Reporting back to the Empress Dowager, everything went smoothly. Now that the Yao clan has dispersed Xi'er, you no longer need to worry about these matters."
"Well, well, well. This child is a blessing from heaven."
Feng Lingxi was bewildered by the Empress Dowager's words, but she didn't know how to ask.
"Xier, sister, I heard that your husband will be coming to marry you soon. Have you thought it through Are you truly going to marry into the Yuan Dynasty If you don't want to, I will help you decline this marriage."
The crown prince's grandson chatted with Feng Lingxi in private. Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Fu ren and the Empress Dowager chatting happily, and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. My husband and I are in love."
"Very well, then I, your elder brother, shall make the arrangements for your wedding. Rest assured, both the Xigu Kingdom and the Lu family will treat you well."
Feng Lingxi hastily thanked him. This Imperial Grandson was handsome and amiable, it was hard not to like him.
"If you need anything in the future, just speak up. From now on, you are my little sister, treat me as your older brother."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Feng Lingxi's appellation caused the Crown Prince to frown slightly, but remembering the Emperor's instructions, he didn't say anything and let her be comfortable as she pleased.
After barely making it back to the Lu family from the palace, Feng Lingxi felt completely drained. The royal family of Xi Gu was vastly different from that of the Great Yuan Dynasty. However, she still preferred the Great Yuan Dynasty; at least, she knew what they were like and found it easier to interact with them.
The royal family of Xi Gu were all so approachable, she felt a little lost and didn't know how to react.
"Xier, have you decided whether to live in the mansion or the princess's residence"
Mrs. Lu smiled, looking at Feng Lingxi's nervousness in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Now that everything is resolved, the rest is your lifelong event. I hope you can recognize your ancestors and return to the family so we can give you a wedding."
Feng Lingxi looked at her three children, "Madam, this time I'm back means agreeing to acknowledge my ancestors and return to the family. My mother has agreed, so I will follow her wishes."
Mrs. Lu nodded in satisfaction, "Good, then I'll have someone arrange it. Your father may have wronged your mother, but you are his daughter, a daughter of the Lu family."
"My lady, I have one small request."
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and said, "After recognizing my ancestors, my surname can be Lu, but in my daily life, I still prefer the name Feng Lingxi. I hope Madam will allow me to continue using this name."
Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Well, I can't change your life habits just because you want to find your family. As long as you visit often, we'll be content."."I'll help you clean your wound and apply some medicine."Ye Xi weakly nodded her head and fell back into a hazy unconsciousness.Wind Lingxi went to boil hot water and cleaned Ye Xi's wounds. Although...
