Chapter 307: Seizing Power 62

er become empress" Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, "I'm afraid there's more to this than meets the eye. Think about those Yao tribe people who followed us today, why would they follow us"Who Feng Yu...She failed to protect the princess, causing her to fall off a cliff. This time, she would protect the princess and the king's marriage as compensation.

Huangfu Qingyun let out a cold snort. "Hearing you say that, this palace shouldn't interfere in their feelings. Xi’er has lost her memory, this palace and she still have a marriage contract, this palace doesn't mind Xi'er and Dugu Cheng's past, why wouldn't it be possible for Xi'er to fall in love with this palace"

"Because the princess's heart has always belonged to the prince."

Xiaoli, risking her own life, said, "Your Highness, I know you truly care for the Crown Princess. That's why I'm telling you this, hoping you won't fall deeper. The more you give to the Crown Princess, the heavier the guilt she will feel towards you in the future. Even if she chooses you out of gratitude, she wouldn't be happy. I believe, Your Highness, that you wouldn't want her to be unhappy."

Enough!

Huangfu Qingyun sneered, "When did I need a lowly maid like you to teach me Don't think that because you're Xi'er's maidservant, I wouldn't dare touch you. Get out."

Xiaoli glanced at Huangfu Qingyun and turned to leave.

She said everything she needed to say. Whether or not he was happy was his business. All that mattered was that the princess was well.

Huangpu Qingyun clenched his fists, staring at the scene of Dugu Cheng and Xi'er together. His heart was like a vinegar vat that had been overturned, surging violently. The fists he clenched became tighter and tighter. He really didn't like this feeling. He also wanted to make himself a rational person, but feelings were uncontrollable.

"Your Highness, forgive my impertinence, but I agree with the maid. Since Miss Lin is already married to the Fourth Prince, if Your Highness continues to harbor feelings for her, it might backfire and lead Miss Lin to misunderstand Your Highness."

Even you think that this palace and Xi'er have no chance.

Li Nuo stepped back, not daring to say more. The prince's current mood left him wanting to avoid further interaction for now.

Huangfu Qingyun stood there, alone for a while, before walking towards Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi. Li Nuo watched as the Crown Prince walked past, hurriedly catching up with his steps.

"I'm tired."

Wind Ling Xi walked aside and sat down, watching Dugu City reach out to wipe the sweat from her brow. She didn't even struggle, just grumbled. Huang Fu Qing Yun looked at Dugu City, "What were you two playing just now"

"Catch him! Dugu City is too bad. I've never been able to catch him. I've chased him around for so many circles, my legs are about to break."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi and said, a more doting smile on his face, "You think that by getting the Crown Prince to help you, you'll win Even with three people, you'd still lose."

Why do we still have to lose

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, her eyes filled with displeasure, but her tone carried a hint of coquettishness. The demeanor of a young girl was fully displayed. Huangfu Qingyun, who was standing beside Xi'er, saw her like this, and the sour feeling that arose in his heart made him even worse.

Only in front of Dugu Cheng would Di Tuo have such a tender demeanor. Before, when they were together, he felt she was happy, but he had never seen this kind of Di Tuo. Was it because he was too restrained, or because he couldn't give Di Tuo the feeling of being with Dugu Cheng

"Why do you want to lose"

Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow, looking at the silent Huangfu Qingyun, "Your Highness, what do you say"

"Xi'er won't lose, I will let her win."

"Don't let me win, or else this game won't be fun."

Feng Lingxi pouted, and Huangfu Qingyun looked at her like that, revealing a smile.

Then you can only lose.

"Boring."

Feng Lingxi mumbled softly, looking at Dugu City, "I'm done playing, getting ready for the banquet."

"Xier, you go bathe and change your clothes first. Then come back."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly placed her hand on the tip of her nose and sniffed, "Then you wait for me, I'll be right back."

"Come, take Xier down to bathe and change clothes. Get her new garments."

Huangpu Qingyun spoke, a palace maid stepped forward, and led Feng Lingxi away. Dugu City watched her leaving figure, a smile spreading across his lips.

"Xier is really different now, she's even cuter than before."

"Fourth Master, are you so certain she would still love you"

Huangfu Qingyun turned her head to look at Dugu City's confident expression and continued, "My mother told me that you and I made a bet, whoever makes Xi'er fall in love first wins. You said it yourself, so does that count"

The smile on Dugu Cheng's face gradually faded, his gaze locking with Huangpu Qingyun's. His dark eyes were deep and inscrutable.

What does Your Highness think Will Xi'er love this King or Your Highness

獨孤城 didn't answer but asked back, Huangfu Qingyun chuckled lightly, "You'll have to ask Xi'er about that."

"Your Highness is right, we should ask Xi'er about this. This prince can't answer Your Highness, after all, Xi'er has lost her memory now, and it's likely she won't be able to figure it out."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún gestured to Dúlú Chéng with a please. "The dinner is about to begin, Fourth Prince."

"Your Highness, please."

Both Dugu Cheng and Huangfu Qingyun had their own private agendas. They both wanted the other to reveal Xi'er's opinion of them, but, knowing it well, neither dared to speak.

Feng Lingxi bathed and changed her clothes, then directly took her to the banquet. Seeing where Dugu City was seated, Feng Lingxi held up her skirt and went over.

"Dugu City, why are you sitting here"

Dugu City saw her coming, this pink dress suited her very well, and she looked quite elegant in it.

"Your position is here, Xi'er. You look good in your clothes."

Feng Ling Xi lowered her head and glanced at him. Hearing Dugu Cheng compliment her beauty, a blush crept onto her cheeks. “I think so too,” she said.

"Xier, come here."

Facing Du Gu Cheng, Huang Fu Qing Yun shouted. Looking at Xi Er's reaction now, it seemed that she didn't have him in her eyes, only Du Gu Cheng. This made his face lose its composure, and his heart was filled with jealousy.

"Let's go, I'll be back later."

Feng Lingxi responded and walked to Huangfu Qingyun's side, sitting down. "Why can't I sit where Dugu City is It's farther away there. Sitting there, eating anything wouldn't get noticed by anyone."

"This is a banquet, how could nobody notice, Xi'er, you mustn't be so reckless."

Feng Lingxi, who was originally unhappy, immediately closed her mouth and stopped talking when she heard what Huangfu Qingyun said.

Seeing her startled, Huanghpu Qingyun's eyes softened with concern. "Xi'er, what I meant is, since we are together, if you want to eat something, just eat here. No one will say anything to you. Duguni Cheng is after all the Fourth Prince of Daxing Nation. For a young lady like you to sit there, it wouldn't be proper."

"So if I sit with you, does that make it proper"

Feng Lingxi, hearing Huangfu Qingyun's words, became even angrier. She felt that he was deliberately preventing her from sitting with Dugu City.

"Xier, if you say so, then go and sit there."

Huangfu Qingyun's eyes were dim, her face full of disappointment, a look that made Feng Lingxi feel distressed.

It's over.

Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Cheng looking at her. Though she wanted to sit with Dugu Cheng, Huarong Qingyun was already unhappy. If she went back, Huarong Qingyun would be even more upset.Feng Yu Mo blushed and scratched his head shyly, "Brother-in-law, it's all thanks to General Li's teachings.""Well, this isn't due to my own efforts. It's all thanks to General Feng Xiao's extraordina...
