Chapter 27 This rule, the Princess Consort has the final say
could only endure it."The Empress Dowager said, 'You're a bit unwell, so there's no need for formalities. We are sisters, after all, so there's no need to be so distant.'"Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Y..."You..."
Seeing her tear up the prescription, Dugucheng wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Feng Lingxi's expression instantly turned cold, like a completely different person.
"I thought you agreed to marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion willingly, it seems I was wrong."
Feng Lingxi glared at him, "Who said I didn't willingly marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion"
Dugu City looked at her cold eyes and tentatively asked, "Then why would you still file for a divorce Don't you know that after you are divorced, it will be more difficult to marry someone in the future"
"Pedantic!"
Feng Lingxi didn't want to continue talking about this with him. She was feeling very irritable right now.
She must have gotten hit in the head or something, otherwise how could she even think of concocting a prescription for the old dowager empress Thinking about how hard she slapped that person...what was she thinking getting involved in this mess She's perfectly fine just staying here, isn't she
Putting the herbs away, Feng Lingxi went to lie down on the bed. Dugu Cheng walked over and heard her coldly remind him, “If you want to stay here safely, just behave yourself.”
Dugu Cheng walked over to stand beside her, “I just thought of resting behind the screen so you could sleep well.”
Feng Lingxi heard his words, closed her eyes, and pulled the blanket over herself.
The first day at Si Wangfu passed just like that. Feng Lingxi slept through and woke up to dinner time. Looking at the dishes Xiaoli brought in, Feng Lingxi got up and washed up before sitting down. Outside the door, Cheng Xin and Cheng Yi were guarding outside, ready to inform her of any situation immediately.
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng were sitting down eating, Xiao Li waiting nearby, occasionally looking out the door with worried eyes.
"Your Highness, forgive Little Li for speaking out of turn. If he stays here any longer and is discovered, your reputation will be ruined."
Dugu Cheng looked up at Xiao Li, seeing the worry in her eyes, he said faintly, "I'll be leaving in two days."
"Young master, can't you leave now"
Xiao Li was really holding back all day. This person staying here is a danger, a royal concubine's identity is very dangerous. If Zhao Ma Ma found out, if this got out, the royal concubine would be finished.
"I'll be going now."
Dugu City glanced at Feng Lingxi, seeing that she was silent, he didn't say much either.
Before they had finished their meal, Zhao Ma Ma's voice came from outside the door. Feng Ling Xi's brows furrowed slightly, and she saw Dugu Cheng get up and quickly walk behind the screen. Xiao Li cleared the bowls and chopsticks from the table, and just then Zhao Ma Ma pushed open the door.
"The old servant greets the princess."
Feng Lingxi held the bowl and chopsticks, coldly opening her mouth, "What is it"
Grandma Zhao thought of what happened in the morning, suppressing her anger and saying, "This old slave serves the Princess according to the rules of the mansion. While bathing the Princess, I also helped check her body."
"What does a physical examination mean"
Feng Lingxi's brow furrowed slightly. Could it be that even after marrying into the Prince's Manor, she still had to undergo a body inspection
"Naturally, it's to verify the Princess Consort's purity and prove that she is still a virgin."
Zhao MaMa walked before her, looking at the dishes on the table, her eyes swept around. “I didn’t expect the Princess's appetite to be so good, eating two portions by herself.”
Feng Lingxi slammed her chopsticks down with a loud smack and glared coldly at Zhao Mama.
Zhao Ma ma was startled by her actions, then accompanied a smile and said, "Your Highness, this old servant only said that your appetite is good, there's no other meaning."
"Grandmother Zhao, is it necessary for this Crown Princess to report how much she eats every meal Or should I, as the Princess Consort of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, have my meals interfered with"
Nanny Zhao hurriedly said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. The old slave was only worried that you ate too much and gained weight. When the King returns, he might neglect you."
Feng Lingxi got up and looked at Zhao Mama, who was bowing her head. She reached out and lifted her chin, looking at her coldly, "Zhao Mama, you look, this princess eats so much every day, is there any excess fat"
Zhao Mama was intimidated by her gaze and hurriedly accompanied a smile saying, “Your Highness, please forgive me. It’s this old servant who worried too much.”
Feng Lingxi retracted her hand and snorted coldly, "Zhao Mama, although this princess is married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and the prince has disappeared, you should listen to me, this princess was bestowed by the Emperor to marry the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Even if things are difficult, it wouldn't be your place, Mama, to point fingers at me."
Zhao Maama's face flushed red at her scolding. She raised her head to meet her cold gaze, forcing down the discontent in her heart and said, "The princess is right, but this old servant is doing everything according to the rules. This body search is unavoidable, I hope the princess will cooperate!"
"I wonder how Madam Zhao intends to verify my innocence Will she strip me naked and inspect my body, or will she bring a doctor to examine me"
"Your Highness, of course the clothes will be removed. This old servant will just need to examine them…"
Before Zhao MaMa could finish her words, Feng LingXi slapped her face with a resounding slap, her voice cold and sharp. "Zhao MaMa, can you just take off this royal wife's clothes Even if the Prince needs to be checked, it should be the Prince himself, not you!"
Wind Ling became enraged, and Zhao Mama covered her face, her old face contorted with anger, her eyes nearly popping out.
"Your Highness, what do you mean This old servant is just following the rules."
Feng Lingxi looked at her, his eyes extremely cold.
"As for what rules this manor followed before, I don't understand. But since I have married into the Fourth Prince's Manor and become its mistress, Zhao MaMa should know that I am the Mistress of the Fourth Prince's Manor. These rules are decided by me, the mistress."
"When Zhao MaMa heard this, she seemed to have caught her handle. She angrily said, “What do you mean by that, Fourth Princess Old Madam is the mistress of this Fourth Prince's Mansion. You just entered the mansion recently. If you don’t want to follow the rules of the mansion, it means you have something hidden in your heart. It seems the rumors outside are not false. Perhaps the Fourth Princess’s body is no longer clean”
What's the word on the street
Feng Lingxi looked at Zhao Mama's provocative gaze. It seemed she was well-prepared this time.
"I wonder where Zhao Mama heard this rumor from outside. To slander the reputation of this princess, Zhao Mama should think carefully, is this something you are allowed to say"
At this point, if she showed even the slightest hint of panic, Zhao MaMa would seize her weakness.
If it were truly investigated, it would be difficult to cover up.
"Of course, some would say that an old servant like me knows best, Your Highness. If you were truly innocent, why would you be afraid to let me examine you"
Grandma Zhao walked towards her, her eyes as if they wanted to strip her naked and examine her body.
Feng Lingxi faced Zhao Mamai with no fear in her eyes, "If Madam Zhao wants to test my body, please ask Mother Empress to come over together so we can both be witnesses. However, this Princess would like to remind you to choose carefully."
"Elder Royal Wife, please come in."
Grandma Zhao suddenly spoke, Feng Lingxi fixed her eyes on the door, watching the old princess enter, a flash of coldness crossing her gaze.
It seems that Ma'am Zhao is well-prepared. But why is there no hint from outside when the Old Madam arrived but feel uneasy.Upon hearing her mother's words, Dugu Cheng's face changed drastically. He hurriedly abandoned the prince and ran away."Imperial Noble Consort Shu, what is going on Who burned Xi'er"F...
