Chapter 810: Incarceration 70

angeness in his eyes made Feng Lingxi frown. It seemed he knew Zixing."Xier, how did you know about Zi Xing Did your mother tell you""So you knew about Zi Xing It wasn't my mother who told me, it was...However, fortunately, Duguo Cheng didn't disappoint her. He was truly good to her.

Ping Bei Wangfei glanced at Feng Ling Xi, "Then how did I hear that, after Si Wangfei married Si Wangye, she hasn't conceived yet, and doesn't allow concubines into the mansion. Outsiders don't know, they think Si Wangfei is too powerful, even controlling her mother-in-law, Shu Taifei, so tightly. She doesn't allow concubines into the mansion, holding onto the position of principal wife, but she can't give birth to a child herself, and she also doesn't allow Si Wangye..."

"Wife of the Prince of Beiping!"

The Shutai Fei's face instantly fell. Looking at how the Princess of Beiping spoke with increasing enthusiasm, her hideous features made her feel sick. If not for the fact that she was a guest, she would have kicked her out long ago.

"Xier was personally chosen by this imperial concubine as her daughter-in-law. She was married to the Fourth Prince by the late Emperor. Whether she can sit securely in this position of Fourth Princess is something that both the late Emperor and this imperial concubine have personally approved of. Outsiders may say whatever they want, but the Northern Ping Princess dared to speak ill of Xier in front of this imperial concubine. The Pingbei Princess should pay attention to her words and deeds. After all, this imperial concubine's daughter-in-law cannot be insulted and bullied by outsiders."

Shu Taifei's protection made Feng Lingxi very moved. Although she could protect herself, these words truly warmed her heart.

The Princess Consort of Beiping didn't expect the Imperial Dowager to speak to her like this. After all, in the current capital city, her Lan'er and Prince Beiping held considerable power within the court. She was just an ordinary woman who couldn't even lay eggs, so she truly had no idea what they found so remarkable about her.

"If this concubine remembers correctly, the North Ping princess only gave birth to Lan Fei."

The North Ping Princess's face flushed back and forth between pale and red. It was because she only had Lan’er as a daughter that the North Ping King took in a concubine, and after that, various women were brought into the household. If it weren't for Lan’er marrying into the Imperial Palace to become Lady Lan now, how could she have stood up straight like this

But she didn't expect that this Shu Taifei wouldn't give her any face at all, making all her effort wasted.

"Xier, come sit by your mother."

Shutai pulled Feng Lingxi beside her, watching as she remained silent. If not for her presence, Xier would definitely have retorted to the Pingbei Princess. This woman was truly unbearable, even to Shutai herself.

"Bring the lotus seed soup I made for Xi'er."

Shutai asked, patting Xier's hand, "The weather is starting to warm up. I told the seamstress to come to the mansion these few days to measure you for a few sets of clothes. The silks that the Empress Dowager gifted you are just perfect for making them."

Feng Lingxi responded, "Mother Consort, I remember there are a few types of silk suitable for you. When you return, please take them to make a few sets of clothes."

Shutai looked at Pingbei Wangfei, who had nothing to say on the side, "Look at Xier's daughter-in-law, how sensible she is. Every time the Empress Dowager bestows silk, she always makes a few sets of clothes for this Tai Fei, and she saves herself. If it were someone else's daughter, I'm afraid they wouldn't have such a heart."

Pingbei Princess's face twitched in a stiff smile. This kind of ostentation wasn't she implying that Feng Lingxi's silk fabrics were bestowed by the Empress Dowager

Lan'er said that the Empress Dowager was very fond of Feng Lingxi, and it turned out to be true.

"Mother, this is all I should do."

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, looking at the almost unsupportable smile on Pingbei Princess's face. Her beautiful eyes swept over the jade bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile, "This bracelet on Princess Pingbei is really beautiful."

When King Pingbei saw the wind and waves, he boasted and immediately showed off.

"This was bestowed upon Lan Fei by the Emperor himself. Lan Fei is filial and respectful to me as her mother."

Feng Lingxi smiled and nodded, "Princess Lan is truly filial. This bracelet is quite valuable."

Having said that, Pingbei Princess gave Feng Lingxi a look of admiration, saying she had good taste. She admired her bracelet on her own, her boastful eyes seeming to say that only she in the whole world possessed such a unique piece.

"Your Highness, Zhang Mama has arrived."

Xiao Li stepped forward and reported, glancing at Pingbei's princess, "The Empress Dowager said that the Northern Border sent some rare items from the Western Regions. She asked Zhang ma-ma to select some for you and bring them over. She asks if you would like to take a look and see if anything catches your eye."

Feng Lingxi hearing this, her brow furrowed slightly, and said to Shu Taifei, "Mother concubine, then Xi'er will go there first."

When Pingbei's princess heard this, her whole body emanated a sour scent. She had indeed heard that the emissary from Xiliang was bringing some gifts a few days ago and they were supposed to arrive in these two days. Unexpectedly, they were directly delivered to their mansion.

"Go on, Zhang Mama is a person of the Empress Dowager, she must not be neglected."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, stood up, and looked at Pingbei Wangfei politely. "Pingbei Wangfei, I'll take my leave now."

The smile on Pingbei Princess's face was almost gone, she really wanted to go and take a look, but she also felt it was inappropriate.

"Fourth Royal Consort." Zhang Mama's voice came, looking at the palace maids and eunuchs following behind her. The thing she was holding in her hand made Princess Pingbei stand up. Looking at the thing brought over, her eyes lit up.

Feng Lingxi stepped forward and greeted Zhang Ma respectfully, "Zhang Mama, how did you come here"

Zhang Mamá looked at Shù Taifei and said, "Old slave pays respects to Shù Taifei, and greets the Pingbei Princess."

Shutai nodded, and Pingbei's princess hurriedly held up the tray, coughed lightly twice to appear more dignified and graceful.

"Imperial Concubine Shu, the Empress Dowager has sent these new and fresh items as tribute for you. Please have a look and see if there's anything that catches your eye."

Old Madam Zhang waved her hand, and behind her came a variety of glassware and coral ornaments, as well as the Night Pearl of the East China Sea. Pingbei Princess's eyes widened in astonishment.

Shu Taifei was rather surprised, she didn't expect Cen Taihou to be so generous.

"Grandmother Zhang, please thank the Empress Dowager on my behalf. I like all these."

Grandmother Zhang responded and turned to Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager said you don't like anything too extravagant. She let you choose yourself."

Looking at the various jewelry and rare treasures, as well as precious medicinal herbs, on the table.

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over, selecting a few medicinal herbs and said to Zhang Mamā, "Just these."

Chang Mama responded, Feng Lingxi took out a box and handed it to Chang Mama, smiling and saying, "Chang Mama, please keep it."

"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness."

Even Zhang Mamu didn't need to look to know what this was. It was a pair of agate bracelets, she liked them at first glance and even took a special look, but unexpectedly, the Fourth Princess chose them, yet gave them to her.

It can be seen that the Fourth Princess is a kind and thoughtful person.

No wonder the Empress Dowager said, in today's situation, stabilizing Feng Lingxi is equivalent to stabilizing Dugu City. Stabilizing them as a couple means stabilizing the Great Yuan Dynasty.

"Xiaoli, please send everything back to my room."

Feng Lingxi instructed, looking at Zhang MaMa, "I'll see you off."

The Princess of Beiping saw that Zhang Maama didn't call her, and anxiously blurted out, "Zhang Maama, wait!"

Grandmother Zhang looked at her smiling face with a neutral expression, "Is there anything the Princess of Beiping needs"

"This..."

The Northern Capital's Princess looked at the remaining items, "Is there anything for Lan Fei"

Ma Ma Zhang, seeing her greedy gaze, said, “The Imperial Concubine Lan’s gifts have already been sent by the Empress Dowager. These are for the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.”been cleared of that. If she submits, she will surely die. You really can say such things! For your power and status, you even want to harm my daughter."Yao WanYing pointed at him, "Get out of here, o...
