Chapter 69: Fighting on the Bed, Part 33

even more brilliant. She would make the Fourth Prince fall in love with her."Xi'er, you said you brought her back here for nothing. She just gets in the way around this mansion.""The lord doesn't like...Dugu Cheng listened to her words, touching his chest, and said seriously, "Sincerely."

I thought it would touch her, but I didn't expect to receive another white eye from her. That contemptuous look made him even more depressed, "Xi'er, what do you want me to do to make you believe my sincerity Do you want me to dig out my heart and show it to you so you'll believe me"

Feng Lingxi suddenly smiled, a smirk playing on her lips as her eyes swept over his chest.

"That's a good idea, Your Highness. Why don't you give it a try"

"You..."

Why is this woman so hard to talk to

Did she really want him to show her his heart to believe

"My lord, you know your own heart. Why do you need me to believe you To be so honest and open... I'm afraid I can't. Our marriage was arranged by the Emperor, after all. You should be more careful. If you're truly bored, perhaps consider finding a suitable lady to marry."

"Feng Ling Xi."

Dugu Cheng was furious. He sent her to find a woman again, and seeing her indifferent eyes, his anger reached its peak.

"Where do I fall short Since you know this is an imperial decree, you should understand that if you want to leave me, all you have to do is for me to say yes. You can't leave otherwise."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "Your Highness speaks with reason, thank you for the reminder."

"Stupid woman."

獨孤城 glared at her, remaining silent. Looking at Feng Lingxi's smile, he felt increasingly stifled.

He had to find a way, he had to turn the situation around, couldn't let Feng Lingxi ride him like this anymore.

Feng Lingxi closed her eyes to cultivate her spirit, refusing to speak to him.

Upon arriving at the Fourth Prince's Manor and just as he returned to the residence, he heard a servant running towards him.

"Your Highness, Madam Wang, the Dowager Empress has returned to the palace."

獨孤城 looked at Feng Lingxi with a puzzled expression, "Mother concubine, why are you back Wasn't she supposed to stay in the palace for a while"

"I don't know, Your Majesty. The Old Madam ordered that the Wangye and the Wangfei return immediately to see her."

Feng Lingxi said to Dugu City, "I'm going to change my clothes."

"No need, let's just go. Mother must be so anxious to find us, there must be something important."

"Well then."

Having returned to the palace suddenly, could it be that something from the household had reached her ears, or was it her attitude towards Dugu City these past few days that had been reported to her mother

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng arrived at the Xiu Xin Garden. Before they even entered, they heard the sound of wooden fish being struck. The two looked at each other, and Dugu Cheng reminded her, "Xi'er, be careful when you speak later. This king doesn't want to let his mother concubine know about our true relationship."

Feng Lingxi did not argue with him, and followed him inside.

"Mother Empress," Dugu Cheng stepped forward and called out. Feng Ling Xi hurriedly paid her respects to the old empress, "Mother Empress."

The Old Madam put down the wooden fish in her hand, turned to look at the two of them, and dismissed the maidservant.

"Mother, how did you get out of the palace"

When Dugu Cheng saw his mother getting up, he quickly stepped forward to help her.

The old princess consort glanced at Feng Lingxi, who immediately lowered her head and walked over to support the other arm of the old princess consort. "Mother concubine, do you have something to tell us"

The Old Madam gestured for them to sit down and said, "This time coming back from the palace is Mother's intention. Mother really can't rest assured about you. The maids in the house told Mother that a few days ago, Xi’er brought back the second young miss of the General's House from the General's House and wanted to give her to Cheng'er as a concubine. Is there such a thing"

Loyi Xin's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected her mother to be interested in such matters.

>

She couldn't lie, and she knew she couldn't hide it.

"Mother Consort, it is indeed true."

The Old Madam looked at Feng Lingxi, her expression displeased. "Xier, didn't I tell you You are Cheng'er's only wife, and you are not allowed to take concubines or side consorts for him. How can you not listen You have only been in the house for a few days. Now that Cheng'er is finally back, you shouldn't focus on cultivating your relationship with him, but instead always think about taking concubines for him. Once a man has many concubines, he will never look at his legal wife with the same eyes."

Dugu Cheng had thought his mother would be there to speak for him, but she came back to help Feng Lingxi, which surprised him.

Feng Lingxi never expected that her mother would say such things to her. She thought it was because the rumor about Feng Lingyu and the servant being caught in a compromising position had reached her mother's ears, so she came to question them. Unexpectedly, it was because of this.

“My dear mother, you shouldn't blame Xia'er for this. It was that Second Miss from General's Mansion who insisted on becoming my concubine. Since Xia'er is her younger sister, she had to be brought to our residence. However, Mother, I swear by heaven, I have absolutely no intention of taking a concubine.”

Du Guling's explanation surprised Feng Ling Xi. He could have reported her to his mother, but he actually defended her. Could it be that he had really fallen for her

However, she still couldn't bring herself to believe him.

"Mother Empress, this matter was indeed done improperly by my daughter-in-law. If Mother Empress wishes to punish her, my daughter-in-law is willing to accept the punishment."

"Good."

The Empress Dowager's words made Dugu City's face change, this concubine wasn't speaking towards Feng Lingxi, was she How come she was punishing him now too.

"Xier, you were bestowed upon Cheng'er by the Emperor as his wife. I only have one son, Cheng'er, and so I shall punish you by having you bear Cheng'er a child within three months. If you fail, I shall take a concubine for Cheng'er."

Feng Lingxi was startled when she heard the old princess's words. This meant that if she didn't conceive a child with Dugu Cheng within three months, Dugu Cheng would have a concubine. If he favored the concubine later on, and she made a subtle push, it wouldn't be impossible for her to leave Si Wangfu.

Du Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi's rolling eyes, feeling frustrated. Did she not want to have his child

"The daughter-in-law will keep Empress Dowager's instructions in mind and will do her best."

To do one's best He can't even get onto the bed, where would the children come from

Du Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi's calm demeanor. He couldn't do this tonight, he had to climb onto her bed. Otherwise, how could they have a child in three months

"Xi'er, you must stand up for your mother and do your best. This palace wants grandchildren."

Fēng língxī yìng shēng, bù duō shuō huà.

"These days, I've had Liu MaMa attend to you. In the future, if there's anything you two don't understand, just ask Liu MaMa."

"Mother, this isn't a good idea, is it"

Dugu City's face changed drastically. Looking at Feng Lingxi's nonchalant expression, did she know what Liu Mama was like

The Old Madam's face darkened, and she asked with displeasure, "What is wrong"

Feng Lingxi looked at their mother and son's expressions. She wasn't very familiar with this Liu MaMa, but since she was by the Empress Dowager's side, she must be someone to be reckoned with. If she wanted to handle her relationship with Dugu City well, she had to be more careful.

"Xier, what do you think"

The Empress Dowager asked, how could Feng Lingxi say anything bad She hurriedly said, “I will follow Mother’s wishes.”

"Xi'er, go back first. Cheng'er, stay behind. This concubine has something to ask you."

Feng Lingxi bestowed blessings upon herself, "Xier bids farewell."rl show respect to someone of her statusTian Xiaomi didn't show anything on her face."Are you the girl who saved Yu Mo, Tian""My name is Tian Xiaomi. The Lord sent me to take care of Brother Yumu."Fen...
