Chapter 42: Fighting on the Bed

r came here just to explain things clearly to you."Dugu Cheng raised his teacup, took a sip, and looked at the father and daughter. "Xier, why don't you have a good chat with General Feng It's best to...She would never forget his attitude towards her before he came. If she believed he truly liked and adored her, then she must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Dugu Cheng's lips curled into a smile, "Does my beloved want to let everyone know in front of everyone how I feel about you"

Feng Lingxi's face stiffened. What he meant was, he had been protecting her all along, just so she wouldn't look down on him as the Fourth Prince

But she didn't care about the title of Fourth Princess at all.

If so, then thank you.

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and refused to speak to him any further. The banquet was nothing more than a display of music and dance. Civil and military officials all allowed their daughters to perform, hoping to catch the prince's eye and ascend to nobility.

This banquet was also the same. Watching those daughters of wealthy families trying their best to attract the princes' attention, Feng Lingxi felt pity for them. If she were in their place, she definitely wouldn't do this for them.

"My love, do you find these women as lovely as I am"

Feng Lingxi looked seriously, "Your Highness, which one do you like I'll have the Emperor bestow a marriage upon you later."

Dugu Cheng's face suddenly turned cold, looking at Feng Lingxi's serious scrutiny, "You really want me to marry another woman"

"If the king likes it, I don't mind."

She wasn't planning to spend her life with him, she wanted to find him a few women so that she could leave the palace.

Don't even think about it.

Dugu Cheng said unhappily, but because there were too many people watching them, his inner anger was suppressed. He forced a smile on his face, pretending that the two of them were very loving and harmonious.

"How about a deal"

Feng Ling Xi suddenly spoke, without waiting for his agreement, continued, "I cooperated with the Wangye in acting, and Wangye promised me one request."

"Okay."

Dugu Cheng readily agreed without hesitation. Feng Ling Xi glanced at him, the smile on her lips widening, "Your Highness is so generous, truly worthy of being the God of War."

"If you don't want to continue here later, I can take you away."

"What's the rush, this dancing beauty, I think she's quite good."

Dugu Cheng heard her words, as if she were the king and he was her consort. How could she be so indifferent to her own marriage After losing her virginity, she didn't care at all

General Feng, I hear that the Fourth Princess was foolish and naive before entering the Four Prince's Mansion. Now looking at her, she doesn't seem like it at all. I wonder if General Feng has withheld any information about the Fourth Miss's condition. Hao Xiang opened his mouth, his eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi, watching the interaction between Feng Lingxi and the Fourth Prince. He was certain that this Feng Lingxi was not like the rumored foolish miss.

Qingqing, that silly girl, was tricked by her.

When the General of Wind was named, his face slightly changed, and he explained, "Prime Minister, you may not know this, but when the Fourth Princess was four years old, she had a high fever that indeed damaged her brain. However, on the day before she was married, her body suddenly recovered. I thought it was likely imperial grace that cured her, making her marriage to the Fourth Prince possible."

"Seeing Feng Lingxi, Hao Xiang said, 'In that case, the Fourth Royal Consort is truly blessed. Since she married into the Fourth Prince's Residence, the Fourth Prince has returned safely."

"As the Grand Chancellor said, Your Majesty also feels that the beloved consort is a blessing to you. Therefore, Your Majesty has decided to treat her well and not disappoint her."

Dugu Cheng held Feng Lingxi's hand, his doting expression made Feng Lingxi stare in surprise. She was truly afraid she would go blind, opening her eyes and talking nonsense, he was second to none in this skill, no one dared claim first place.

"Lord Hao, why hasn't Qingqing come"

The Dowager Empress spoke, her gaze fixed on the empty space beside him, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Hao Cheng stood up and replied, "To Shu Fei Niangniang, Qingqing was tongue-tied and offended the Fourth Princess. I have already sent her back to her home to reflect in seclusion."

When Feng Lingxi heard what Grand Advisor Hao said, her face darkened.

She knew he would say that.

Feng Lingxi got up, but was held back by Dugu City, motioning for her not to go out.

“Your words are not quite right, Prime Minister. Miss Qingqing was sent back by this King, so how can you blame it on this King’s beloved concubine” Dugu Cheng looked at the Prime Minister Hao's face changing drastically and explained, “Father Emperor, Mother Empress, Miss Qingqing directly called Xi'er's name. This son reprimanded her a few times and asked her to return home. It's not considered wrong.”

The Dowager Queen looked at Feng Lingxi, wanting to hear her explanation, but seeing that she didn't speak, and seeing Cheng'er defending her, she could only wait for the Emperor to speak.

As a young man, I may have spoken improperly and offended the Fourth Princess. I apologize for my words on behalf of myself and humbly request that you, Your Highness, not pursue this matter further.

This statement caused Feng Lingxi to raise an eyebrow. Minister Hao's words sounded as if she had done it on purpose.

“Your words are truly baffling, Prime Minister. I never once thought that Miss Qingqing would need to apologize to me. Prime Minister Hao keeps calling Miss Qingqing ‘Miss Qingqing,’ and saying she is young. But if I heard the Royal Prince correctly, Miss Qingqing is a few months older than me.”

When Feng Lingxi finished speaking, the expression on Lord Hao's face grew even more unpleasant.

"I know that I have been foolish and naive for over ten years, burning my brain without understanding the rules, not knowing how to speak properly, and lacking in etiquette. Therefore, please forgive me for any mistakes I may have made, Prime Minister."

Feng Lingxi bowed respectfully to He, the Chancellor, and complimented him so lavishly that his old face turned red.

She's basically saying that even someone like me, who is obviously not all there, is better than Qingqing.

"Alright, this is Cheng'er's welcome banquet, let's not dwell on those matters."

The Emperor spoke, and music and dance began. Civil and military officials watched on until the banquet ended. Dugu Cheng took Feng Lingxi away from the palace.

In the carriage, Dugu City looked at Feng Ling Xi, his eyes held a playful expression that made Feng Ling Xi roll her eyes.

"Funny"

Dugu City curled his lips, looking at her like this now, he felt good.

"This king truly didn't see it coming. You even dare to confront the Prime Minister Aren't you afraid of him causing trouble for you"

Feng Lingxi coldly scanned with her eyes, saying with a sneer, “This is all thanks to the Prince. Otherwise, the Prime Minister and I wouldn't have anything to do with each other.”

"Is my beloved feeling jealous"

Du Gu Cheng strode forward, his sudden approach causing Feng Ling Xi to raise her hand and strike him with a palm, pushing him back.

"Your Highness, please control yourself!"

Hearing her say this, Dugu City thought of that night. She had stripped him naked and forced him. How come she didn't talk about self-respect back then

Is this woman playing hard to get

"Remember, you are this king's lawfully wedded fourth consort. Don't even think about resisting me, even if I were to... do something to you right here and now."

Just as Dugu City finished speaking, a sudden flash of cold light appeared. A silver needle was pressed against his abdomen. Feng Lingxi coldly swept her gaze over him, "If you exert yourself even slightly, what will the King do"

Dugu Cheng looked at the hand she placed on his abdomen. This woman, she was ruthless.

"This king doesn't believe you would be capable of doing such a thing. Don't forget, you are this king's queen now. If..."

The sudden sharp pain made Du Gu Cheng's handsome face darken. Facing Feng Ling Xi's cold and sharp gaze, Du Gu Cheng only wanted to press her down and ravish her, making her know he wasn't someone to be trifled with.o Zhe looked at his daughter, "You're still young, it's nothing."But last night Dugu Cheng came to bother me again. If this continues, if I become pregnant…"I'll go back after taking the medicine, won...
