Chapter 1664: Hand in Hand for Life

ter Prince Rong ascended the throne, Feng Lingxi hurriedly motioned for Xiaoli to serve tea to Prince Rong. Seeing that he remained silent, she spoke up, "Prince Rong, did the Empress ask you to come..."Take care."

Tao Su nodded, glanced at the moon, "Can I stay here with you for a while longer" This was his last time to be by her side. After tonight, he wouldn't bother her anymore.

"Of course, you are my friend."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Tao Su, and the two smiled at each other. They sat on the rooftop and chatted for a long time.

The next day, Feng Lingxi went with the children to look for their master, only to find that Yuanfu had already been sold. The whereabouts of the master were unknown, and no one knew his whereabouts. After many inquiries, Feng Lingxi learned that the house was sold after she returned to Lu's family. When Feng Lingxi returned to Lu's family, someone sent her a letter left by her master. It said that their master-disciple relationship had come to an end, and she should take good care of herself and not look for him again.

"Wǎn'er, look, your mother, just like you, has lost her master too."

Feng Lingxi squeezed out a smile, but her heart was heavy. If she returned to the Lu family using her relationship with her master as leverage, she would rather not have this identity.

But now it's too late to say anything, the master is gone, and she doesn't know if she will ever see her master again in this life.

"Miss, this is a letter sent from Linxi County."

A servant approached Feng Lingxi, holding a letter. Looking at the handwriting, Feng Lingxi was somewhat surprised.

"Mother, this is a letter written to you by Uncle Yǔmò."

Feng Lingxi responded and opened the letter. Looking at the contents, Feng Yu Mo told her that Duguo Cheng had returned to the capital and Tai Hou (Empress Dowager) forbade their marriage. He had a huge argument with Duguo Cheng, and now Tai Hou was seriously ill, leaving the imperial physicians helpless. It seems the engagement might not be able to proceed as planned.

Wind Lingxi's face was grave, and she hurried into the house to look for Madam Lu.

"Mother."

Feng Ling Xi anxiously shouted several times, but there was no response. She then saw Lu Hao rushing to work and said, "Xi'er, what happened Why are you so anxious"

"Dad, look."

Feng Lingxi handed the letter in her hand to Lu Hao. Calling him "father" made Lu Hao feel like a completely different person, as if he had never been valued before.

"Father, Dugu Cheng can't come. I want to go find him."

Feng Ling's voice was full of worry, "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill. This is a heart disease. I want to go back and see her. She disagrees with me a lot, and I want to clear up this misunderstanding. I don't want to stay here waiting for Dugu City to come and marry me."

"Xier, don't worry, father will find a way."

Lu Hao held the letter, hurriedly comforting Feng Ling Xi. This was her daughter's first request of him, how could Lu Hao disappoint her.

"Xier, wait here for me. Father is going to the palace to discuss with the Emperor about letting you go to the Great Yuan Dynasty as a princess. When the time comes, you can choose your own spouse. This way, we can return openly and honestly without compromising your status."

"But weren't those kinship ties always proposed by smaller countries to larger ones Could the Emperor possibly agree"

She was willing, but she feared the Emperor's refusal. After all, a marriage alliance, like one with a powerful nation like Xigu, wouldn't require sending their princess away.

Then, let's choose a son-in-law. Could the Great Yuan Dynasty possibly refuse Just wait, father will go to the palace and tell the Emperor right now.

Lu Hao took the letter and hurried to put it away in the palace. Feng Ling Xi watched Lu Hao's busy preparations, and for the first time, she felt protected.

"Mother, I've told you that she and I are not a good match, please stop trying to set us up."

Lu Nian's voice came, Feng Lingxi turned around and saw Lu Nian and Lu's mother walking over. Looking at Lu Nian's irritable face, she hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects.

"Mother, what's happened"

"Xier, you're here just in time. Tell me, where does that Xiaocǎo girl not measure up to him He actually finds her lacking! It's good enough that she doesn't reject him! Look at his own age, an old ox eating tender grass, and he still criticizes others!"

Mrs. Lu complained, Feng Lingxi glanced at Lu Nian and asked with a smile, "Mother, did Xiaochao promise this matter"

"This..."

Lu's wife was stumped. "That child is more reserved and shy to speak up, Xier. Mother tells you, your elder brother is just a coward. Such a good girl, he actually looks down on her, it's really..."

Mrs. Lu quickly smoothed her breath, "How could I have given birth to such a thoughtless child."

"Mother, matters of marriage should not be forced. If they are destined to be together, they will find each other. You need not worry."

Feng Lingxi soothed and, glancing at Lu Nian, she nodded. Lu Nian hastily agreed, "That's right, I anyway…"

"Be quiet."

Land Madam's reprimand rang out harshly, her gaze fixed on her son with a look of exasperation. The more she looked at him, the angrier she became.

"Little sister, why did you just call Mother" Lu Nian saw that her mother had relaxed and hurriedly changed the subject, not wanting to continue being scolded.

"By the way, Xier, what did you just call your mother for Is there something urgent"

Wind Ling lowered her head and softly replied, "Mother, I just received news that Dugu City might not be able to come. The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and I want to go back and have a look. I wonder if Mother could..."

"Your mother did say she wanted him to marry you, but going there like this is not proper. Don't worry, I'll think of a way for you to go back without losing face."

"Just now, father entered the palace. He said he was going to discuss with the Emperor about choosing a son-in-law from the Great Yuan Dynasty for me."

When Lu's wife heard this, her eyes lit up. "This plan, your father is finally using his brain! This plan is good. Mother will go to the palace to discuss it with the Empress Dowager first. You stay at home and wait for my news."

"Thank you, mother."

Feng Lingxi said something that all the women present found exceptionally pleasing to the ear. In contrast, Lu Nian was truly unbearable in every way.

"Little sister, this time big brother begs you, take big brother with you, okay Big brother pleads with you. If you don't take big brother, this time big brother is afraid he really will be skinned alive by mother."

“This still depends on Mother’s opinion, but I will speak to her. If I really go to the Great Yuan Dynasty, there must be someone to escort me. Considering Father and Mother’s personalities, they would definitely let you accompany me. However, I can’t guarantee that, after all, your mother is eager for you to get married soon.”

"Little sister, you have to think of a way. Big brother really can't stay at home, he'll be killed." Lu Nian pleaded with tears in his voice, heaven knows, would father and mother, for the sake of getting him married, directly stuff a woman into his arms At mother's current pace, it was entirely possible she'd have grandchildren by the end of the year.

"Okay, don't worry."

Feng Ling comforted Lu Nian, saying that he had never seen him so afraid even when facing the battlefield. How come he was so scared now on his wedding day Could it be that something was wrong with his body

Feng Lingxi's gaze unconsciously drifted down, Lu Nian's face stiffened. Looking at Feng Lingxi's eyes fixed on him, he hurriedly asked, "What kind of look is that I..."

"Big brother, do you have something difficult to say Tell me, and I'll help you. I'm a doctor..."

"I'm perfectly fine, I just don't want that little blade of grass. It's like anyone and everyone is trying to shove it on me..."

Before Lu Nian could finish her words, Ling Kong suddenly kicked out of the air, aiming for Lu Nian. Luckily, Lu Nian reacted in time and dodged the attack.ncess, the Prince has just returned home. However, earlier, the Empress came to see you and had a conversation with the Prince."Hearing that the wind and rain had arrived in the evening, Feng Lingxi f...
