Chapter 168: Palace Change 12

d and, seeing him like this, went aside to fetch a blanket and spread it on the ground. She then supported Night Xi and helped him lie down."I'll help you clean your wound and apply some medicine."Ye..."Fourth Royal Consort, Lady Feng and you are sisters. Why is there so much animosity between you Could it be that as the rumors say, Fourth Royal Consort has fallen out with the General's Manor, even disowning her own sister"

Sun Lian seized the opportunity to speak, her lips curling into a sneer that left no room for pretense.

Anyone who is smart knows which side to be on, between the Crown Princess and the Fourth Royal Wife.

The current favored concubine is now a favorite of the Empress. The General's Residence also favors her, and if she marries into the Fourth Prince's Manor, with the favored concubine's support, it would be as if she had the Empress's support. This position of the Fourth Princess would naturally belong to her.

She is arrogant and has no talent or virtue. How dare she compete with me for the position of princess

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes sank slightly. She looked at everyone surrounding her and listened to Sunlian question her like this. It was obvious that she wanted Feng Lingxi to be embarrassed.

"Sir Sun, has this marriage between Miss Sun and... been decreed by the Imperial Court"

When everyone heard Feng Lingxi say this, they started discussing it. The Minister of War's face turned red and white as he looked around, not knowing what to say. Sun Lian stood up and said loudly, "This is what the Empress said herself. She wants me to marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion as a concubine."

Feng Lingxi's smile in her eyes flashed and disappeared, looking at Sun Lian's expression as if she wanted the whole world to know that she was marrying into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she slowly said, "In that case, this marriage is a foregone conclusion."

"This is natural."

Sun Lian looked at Feng Lingxi, thinking that she had been angered by the arranged marriage. She proudly raised her head and provocatively stared at Feng Lingxi.

"It seems Miss Sun is planning to replace this Crown Princess as the legitimate wife after marrying into the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

Feng Ling's words as soon as they left her mouth, Sun Lian's face changed drastically. Looking at everyone around her staring at her, she angrily pointed at Feng Ling and said, "What are you talking about When did I ever say I wanted to be the Fourth Princess"

If this is admitted, it would be insubordination. This is no small matter.

Feng Lingxi swept her beautiful eyes over Feng Linglong, who remained silent. "Miss Sun, this attitude you're displaying...even before entering the Fourth Prince's Manor, let alone after, is unacceptable. As the legitimate wife, I hold the position of principal consort while you would be a concubine. Is this how your father taught you to speak"

The Minister of War knelt down with a thump and pleaded, "Your Highness, please forgive me. It is my fault for not teaching my daughter properly. She has spoken carelessly here and angered Your Highness. Please, Your Highness, show mercy and take her back to be properly disciplined."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Sun Lian's indignant and unwilling eyes, then coldly swept over the crowd. She said in a calm voice, "Lord Sun, Miss Sun just said that it was Empress Dowager who bestowed her upon the Fourth Prince. Lord Sun, you should explain this to Empress Dowager. I believe Empress Dowager never said such things."

Feng Lingxi, with a single statement, shifted all the blame to Sun Lian and also protected the Empress's reputation. If this matter reached the Empress, it would be said that it was her intention. The Empress's face would be lost.

The Minister of War's face paled, he looked up at Feng Lingxi, seeing her cold expression, he hurriedly pulled Sun Lian to kowtow to her.

"Fourth Princess, today is the Empress's birthday. This humble servant begs Fourth Princess for mercy and to not make a big deal out of this, lest it spoil the Empress's mood."

Her beautiful eyes swept over Sun Lian kneeling on the ground. Feng Lingxi walked up to her, helping her to her feet. Sun Lian looked up at Feng Lingxi, watching her smile at her. That smile made her gnash her teeth in hatred. She had done this to her and yet she could still smile.

When she becomes the fourth princess, let's see how she cleans up her mess.

"As Madam Sun said, today is the Empress's birthday. As for what just happened, this Princess will pretend it never occurred."

Supporting Sun Lian to stand firm, Feng Lingxi saw the unwillingness in her eyes, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Thank you, Fourth Royal Highness."

The Minister of War quickly expressed his gratitude. Sun Lian saw Feng Lingxi calming the situation, she let out a cold snort. The Minister of War tugged at her sleeve, but Sun Lian ignored him. Her attitude towards Feng Lingxi was still very unhappy, but she didn't dare to get angry.

After Si Me got married to the Fourth Prince, she truly had the bearing of a princess. Her every move and gesture were worthy of the General's Manor. She was broad-minded and generous, earning her sister's admiration.

Feng Lingxi looked at Sun Lian, "Miss Sun is still young, how can I compare with her Instead, where is Consort Feng, why didn't she come with the Crown Princess"

When mentioning the Crown Princess, Feng Linglong's face changed, but in front of Feng Lingxi, she still maintained a smile, not letting her see her true feelings.

"I heard that Fourth Sister and the Crown Princess get along well. Well, Fourth Sister, don't you know where the Crown Princess is You're asking me"

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly and said, “Concubine Feng is jesting. I haven't met the Crown Princess since arriving at the palace, so how would I know where she is It seems Concubine Feng came from the East Palace, so you must know. But why are you unwilling to tell me”

"The Crown Princess, of course, is with the Crown Prince. As for you, Fourth Sister, are you quite disappointed"

Beat around the bush, you just want to know where the prince is.

She wasn't having a good time, and she wasn't letting anyone else have a good time either. She wanted to see what would happen when the Fourth Prince found out about her relationship with the prince.

"It seems the Crown Prince still favors his original wife more." Feng Lingxi smirked, suddenly her waist was tightened, and she was pulled into Dugu Cheng's arms. Looking up, she saw Dugu Cheng looking at her with fondness.

"My empress is right, the original wife is naturally the best."

Their sudden display of affection was embarrassing for everyone present. Feng Linglong's face turned ashen with anger, this was clearly a humiliation of her as a concubine.

"My Lord, this is Miss Sun."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly introduced Sun Lian to Dugu City. Sun Lian didn't expect Feng Lingxi to introduce her to Dugu City, and she was a little at a loss.

Dugu City didn't even glance at Sun Lian. He indulgently poked Feng Lingxi's nose, his voice full of affection, "My love, are you planning to present a concubine to this King"

Sun Lian heard Dugu Cheng's words, her heart beat rapidly. Looking at Dugu Cheng's doting smile, she was deeply attracted by his smile. Her face flushed red, and she shyly glanced at Dugu Cheng, her heart pounding.

Such a delicate appearance in Feng Lingxi's eyes, she actually felt something indescribable.

"The Prince has also reached the time to take a concubine."

Nonsense, this king couldn't even fill his stomach with you, let alone have concubines keep to empty rooms

Du Gucheng generously admitted his shortcomings. The people present listened to his words with different expressions. Even Feng Lingxi felt that he was being too much.

But Miss Sun has said that the Empress Dowager betrothed her to the Prince as a concubine, and the Prince cannot disregard her.

Dugu City feigned contemplation, twisting his brow before saying, "My beloved is right. If this is the Empress's wish, then this king can only accept it. I just have to ask Miss Sun to enter the mansion and remain in an empty room."

Dugu City looked at the Minister of War, his tone slightly cold.

"Master Sun, since your precious daughter is willing to enter my manor and serve me, then choose a date to come. I will not mistreat her, and she will have no shortage of wealth and honor."he's a young lady, isn't she"Feng Lingxi was dumbfounded. Aren't ancient people the most meticulous about this kind of inheritance Why is it different in Dugu City"Well then, what of the young lady Is...
