Chapter 550 Conspiracy 37
u Yan's people. "Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess, please stay," said one of them. "The Emperor requests your presence."Feng Ling xi hugged Dugu City's neck, her eyes full of helplessness.This escapi...It seems that Grandma Zhang's visit this time was likely arranged by Empress Dowager Cen at just the right moment. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that when Third Princess arrived at the estate, Grandma Zhang also appeared Moreover, she even deliberately said that she would listen to everything here from her. Her intentions are truly difficult to fathom.
San Wangfei glanced at Si Wangfei, a jealous fire burning deep in her eyes. It's said that Tai Empress Cen dotes on Feng Lingxi in every way, and now it seems true. This Feng Lingxi is truly skilled, no wonder A Yu said she can't be kept.
"Grandmother Zhang hasn't had her meal yet, why don't we have a meal together first and then start the lesson"
"Do as the Fourth Princess says."
Feng Lingxi nodded and smiled, looking at Zhang Mamu's expression that listened to her completely. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. These past few days must have been difficult for her.
Just as Feng Lingxi had guessed, Zhang Mamā's claim of being there to give a lecture was actually just an excuse to follow her lead and explain the palace etiquette. She didn't care whether Feng Lingxi learned or not, nor if she learned well. On the other hand, the Third Princess was very serious about learning, appearing to be a model student in the eyes of outsiders.
After a day of learning, Feng Lingxi's whole body ached. Every step she took was small and careful, every gesture perfectly mannered. The standard etiquette, the elaborate banquet attire, and the heavy gold and silver ornaments she wore were almost choking her.
"Your Highness, are these three princesses planning to dazzle at the envoy banquet They're studying so diligently."
Little Li was kneading the shoulders of the princess, learning like this, these three princesses had never complained once about being tired. After these three days of learning, she had indeed learned all the palace rules and etiquette. Her intelligence was truly remarkable.
Feng Lingxi looked at the legs of the Third Royal Concubine. After these few days of observation, she discovered something very interesting. This Third Royal Concubine seemed frail, but when she learned etiquette, her steps were solid, steady, and light, which even martial arts practitioners couldn't match.
"Xiao Li, if I made you learn all these palace rules and etiquette, would you find it tiring"
Xiao Li didn't quite understand what the Princess was getting at. Feng Ling Xi looked at San Wang Fei's feet, "Light and nimble, yet your steps are firm. Can you"
"Yes."
Xiaoli answered, suddenly realizing, "Does the princess mean that the Third Princess is skilled in martial arts"
Feng Lingxi stood up and stretched, "Concealing one's strength."
Xiaoli looked at the Third Princess's eyes, they had changed. The Princess was right, this Third Princess was indeed a hidden gem. Not to mention the Princess, even Xiaoli herself, practicing so hard, wouldn't necessarily be as good as the Third Princess.
"Grandma Zhang, how do you think I'm doing Is it all standard and proper"
Seeing Zhang Mamá looking at her, the Third Princess immediately asked, her voice dripping with flattery. This made Zhang Mamá look at her with disdain.
"The Third Royal Wife, icy and intelligent, was a quick learner."
The Third Royal Concubine felt secretly pleased, but she acted with restraint, "It's all thanks to Zhang Mama's teachings."
"Grandma Zhang, I can't do this anymore. My body is about to fall apart. I'm giving up."
Feng Lingxi coquettishly said to Zhang Mama, Xiao Li hurriedly kneaded her legs and shoulders for her. Zhang Mama looked at Feng Lingxi and suppressed the anger in her heart. If it wasn't for the Empress Dowager's order, she really didn't want to teach her. She was truly incapable of learning anything.
There's no harm without comparison. The third princess has learned very well, while she is a real eye-sore.
"Rest for a while, Your Highness. The palace rules have been explained to you before, just remember them."
"Thank you, Granny Zhang, for your understanding. My body is truly weak. The Third Princess Consort is still remarkable."
Feng Lingxi waved her hand, looking like she was about to collapse, which made the Third Princess's eyes sparkle with amusement.
"As I was raised in a disciplined household, I have probably grown accustomed to it. The Fourth Princess can take her time."
Wind Lingxi nodded, "Can't compare, I didn't learn anything when I was young, and I didn't learn anything after marrying the Fourth Prince. These rules are really too cumbersome, it's better to be light." Wind Lingxi finished speaking, looking at Zhang Mamu's eyes with anger hidden in her eyes, a flash of calculation passed through her eyes.
"Your Highness, perhaps you should continue learning with Zhang Mama, while I take a rest."
The Third Royal Wife nodded, gave Feng Lingxi a slight smile, and her gaze fell on Zhang MaMa. Seeing her displeasure, she spoke up for Feng Lingxi, "Zhang MaMa, the Fourth Royal Wife has already tried her best. She needs a rest, and we can continue."
Zhang Mama looked at the expression on the Third Princess's face. After grinding and rolling in the palace for so many years, how could she not know what this Third Princess was thinking Thinking about her purpose in coming here, her tone became slightly cold, "Third Princess, you practice yourself, the old servant is also tired, let's rest for a while."
The Third Princess's smile stiffened, and she nodded with gritted teeth, continuing to practice.
Feng Lingxi sat on the ground, her hands resting behind her, but her eyes never left San Wangfei's. This woman was truly something else. Her body didn't look nearly as frail as it seemed. Perhaps she was a martial arts expert
"My Queen, the heavens are frigid. If you're tired, please sit down and rest for a while so you won't catch cold."
Grandma Zhang walked up to her and opened her mouth, reaching out to help her. Feng Lingxi grabbed Grandma Zhang's hand and, using her strength, stood up and sat down in the chair beside her. She feigned a gasp and said, "Grandma Zhang, you must have been amused. My body is just not cooperating."
Grand-aunt Zhang did not reply, but looked at the Third Princess instead. “How does Fourth Princess see Third Princess’s performance”
"Very good, I admire you, you're truly amazing." Feng Lingxi gave her compliments without reservation. This old lady's words were nothing more than an attempt to get information from her. How could she possibly need to describe the performance of the third princess
Grandmother Zhang glanced at Feng Lingxi, “The Fourth Princess should know that the Empress Dowager doesn’t have high expectations for you, and she even indulges you. However, no one is allowed to outshine you.”
Feng Lingxi feigned confusion, raising an eyebrow. "Zhang Mama, are you suggesting a compromise Why can't someone else be more outstanding than me Is it just because of my status as the Yao Clan saintess"
"The Fourth Royal Consort is exceptionally intelligent. This old servant merely relayed the Empress Dowager's words. As for court etiquette, whether the Fourth Royal Consort truly wishes to learn, only you know in your heart."
Feng Lingxi glanced at Zhang Mamá, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, a smile appeared, and a trace of calculation flashed between her brows. As expected, she was a person beside the Empress Dowager, her mind was flexible. It seemed that Zhang Mamá had also seen through it.
"The Third Princess performed excellently, Zhang Mam should be pleased. This trip has also been fruitful, and she can report back to the Empress Dowager upon her return."
The Empress Dowager instructed the old servant that all the attire and accessories for the banquet in honor of the visiting emissaries would be sent to the Fourth Princess's Residence. The Fourth Princess should certainly be the most dazzling among all the princesses.
Feng Lingxi chuckled self-deprecatingly, she didn't know if it was brilliant or not, but this knife move was definitely sharp.
"These few days of palace rules lessons are almost over, Grandma Zhang is also tired, go back and rest early. The remaining days, I want to have a good rest, otherwise, with this belly, even if there's a child, I'm afraid it will be tossed about."
The Fourth Royal Consort is in good health. This old slave shall return to the palace.
Feng Lingxi responded, watching Zhang Mama lead people out of the mansion. Seeing this, San Wangfei hurried forward and stopped them.
