Chapter 295: Seize Power (Part 50)

is that no matter who we deal with, we will be at a disadvantage. The only thing we can do is to defend and wait for an opportunity.”"Your Highness, this lowly soldier dares to ask, if we cannot hold...Xiaoli was fiddling with the medicinal herbs. Fortunately, she had learned some prescriptions from the princess before, and knew how to prepare some simpler medicines. Now, they were proving useful.

Feng Lingxi followed Xiao Li's instructions to grind the medicine, decoct it, and refine it. Little by little, the concocted medicine congealed, best formed into pills. After a whole day of hard work, she finally succeeded. What made her happiest was that she didn't faint, and her technique was quite skilled.

"Xiao Li, I did it."

Feng Lingxi held the pills in the box, excited like a child.

"Now, Miss, do you believe me I've just lost my memory, I'm not stupid. Don't ever say you're stupid again."

Feng Lingxi nodded, holding the pill in her hand, and asked curiously, "Xiaoli, why have I never refined medicine before, but I am very familiar with the steps of refining medicine, as if I used to do it often"

Perhaps Miss Li has been a skilled alchemist all along.

Xiao Li tentatively said, Feng Ling Xi seriously contemplated, "Then what was I doing before"

"Miss, don't think about it anymore, lest you get a headache later."

Seeing the Queen's face gradually turn pale, Xiaoli worried that her headache was acting up. She hurriedly stopped her, saying that it was already a surprise that she hadn't had a headache while refining pills today. She couldn't be too hasty and needed to let the Queen catch her breath. Xiaoli believed that as long as the Queen thought about what she used to do, she would soon recover her memory.

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, a fleeting image flashing through her mind. Feng Lingxi felt a wave of dizziness, but she kept it hidden, simply shaking her head and meeting Xiao Li's worried gaze with a faint smile. "I'm fine, let's continue."

"Miss, let's stop here for today. We can train tomorrow. Otherwise, the Crown Prince will be worried."

Feng Lingxi reluctantly glanced at the gloomy sky outside. The sun had already set, and Huangfu Qingyun should be coming to have dinner with her.

"Miss, His Highness the Prince asked me to invite you to dinner."

Feng Lingxi stuck her tongue out at Xiaoli, "You said he'd come right away."

Little Li was amused by the Duchess's adorable appearance and hurriedly said, "Miss, I'll accompany you to dine."

Huangfu Qingyun did not disturb the princess while she was refining pills. She was already very surprised, and she couldn't be too anxious, lest it backfire.

"Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi ran up to Huangpu Qingyun's face, looking at Huangpu Qingyun who was sitting at the table in a daze. She called out, "Huangpu Qingyun turned back and looked at Feng Lingxi, hurriedly getting up and saying to her, "Xi'er, come sit down."

Feng Lingxi sat down, and Huangfu Qingyun took out a box and handed it to her. "This is from Mother Empress today. She asked me to bring it back to you."

Feng Lingxi opened the box and looked at the mutton-fat jade bracelet inside, a puzzled expression on her face. "Why would your mother give me this bracelet"

Huangpu Qingyun's hand froze, and she raised her head to meet Feng Lingxi's curious gaze. Her expression dodged slightly, "My mother said I haven't given you a gift yet, so this is the one I want to give you."

Feng Ling Xi put the jade bracelet made of sheep fat jade on her wrist. It fit perfectly, making her skin appear even whiter.

"Xi'er, do you like it"

Feng Lingxi looked at the bracelet on her wrist, raised her head, and smiled brightly.

"Like it, this bangle is so beautiful."

Huangfu Qingyun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Feng Ling Xi took the bracelet off and put it in a box, saying to Huang Fu Qing Yun, “This bracelet is so beautiful, I have to keep it safe. Wearing it on my wrist could easily damage it.”

"It's not that easy to break, and besides, this is from your mother. You have to wear it. In two days there's a banquet, you have to wear it."

"Are you saying the VIP is coming"

Feng Lingxi's eyes lit up when she heard they were going to a banquet. Huangfu Qingyun nodded, "Yes, the banquet will be in two days. My mother said to take you with me. These two days, I'll have all your clothes ready and delivered to you. We'll go together then."

"Good."

Feng Lingxi rushed towards Huangfu Qingyun with a brilliant smile, holding the bracelet tightly in her hand.

After the meal, Huangpu Qingyun accompanied Feng Lingxi for a stroll in the garden before sending her back to rest. He called Xiao Li to his side, "I heard that she accompanied Xi'er in alchemy today, and she didn't have a headache."

"Reporting back to the Crown Prince, the Princess enjoys alchemy. Despite her amnesia, her techniques are proficient..."

“Xiao Li, although this palace knows that Xi'er was once the princess of the Great Yuan Dynasty, she is now the chosen princess for this palace and the Yao clan. This palace has a marriage contract with her. After the wager is completed, you should still call her Miss.”

Every time he heard Xiao Li call her "Xi'er Princess," his heart wasn't at ease.

What does it matter if they are married Xi'er is the holy maiden of the Yao clan, and she is betrothed to him. Now that Xi'er has forgotten everything, he will not let her leave his side.

"This servant obeys."

Although unwilling in her heart, now that she was under someone else's roof, the safety of the princess depended on him. Xiao Li could only agree and wait for the prince to come to the rescue.

"The banquet in two days, you accompany Xi'er to the banquet. These days, she has grown accustomed to you. This palace will not summon you. I hope you can be mindful of your identity and don't disappoint this palace."

As she is also from the Yao clan, Huangpu Qingyun still respects Xiaoli very much.

Yet, the fact that she called him "Xi'er Wangfei" in front of him made his heart feel uneasy.

"Thank you, Your Highness. This servant will prepare right away."

Whether attending the banquet or not, she wanted to see what kind of distinguished guests were present. She also hoped to find out if there were any members of the Yao race in the palace. The Saint Lord had told her that there were also Yao people in the Aoxia Dynasty, but she didn't know where they were.

Feng Lingxi hadn't gone anywhere these past two days. Clothes sent from the palace were brought for her to try on, and many grandmothers came forward to tell her the rules. Feng Lingxi felt overwhelmed just listening to them. Even Huangfu Qingyun couldn't stand it anymore and drove the grandmothers away.

Although she heard the rules repeatedly and was tired of it, Feng Lingxi did listen to some of them. On the day she entered the palace for a banquet, she carefully dressed up and remembered all the rules. Huangpu Qingyun told her to be casual, but Feng Lingxi only listened to Xiao Li's words, telling her to speak less and listen more.

The palace of the Emperor in the Arawata Dynasty was similar to that of the Great Yuan Dynasty, equally magnificent with gold and splendor. The only difference was the harem. In the Arawata Dynasty, there was only one Empress, for the emperor had loved only her his whole life and never taken any concubines. Even though the Empress had a son, he never changed his mind.

After Huangfu Qingfeng finished telling the love story of his parents, Feng Lingxi looked at Huangfu Qingyun with envy and said, "Crown Prince, will you also only marry one woman in the future, just like your father, leaving the harem vacant"

"Of course, Father said that a person's heart is not large enough to hold another. To love one person, and protect her for a lifetime, is enough for this life."

A figure flashed through Feng Lingxi's mind, but before she could make out the person's appearance, it vanished. Feng Lingxi shook her head. This kind of phantom image had been appearing these past two days, but it didn't cause her any headaches.ightly clenched fist. The pair of eyes filled with killing intent and forbearance made him very satisfied. He knew that Dugu Cheng couldn't remain indifferent. His father had loved him so much before...
