Chapter 39: Breaking the Bed
heard Cen Taigong's words, only looking at Feng Lingxi, waiting for her to speak.This was the first time Empress Cen had been treated like this by a commoner, her face flushed with embarrassment. But...Night Xi heard the princess's words and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the King has no concubines. Currently, there is only you as his queen, and there is not a single woman in the inner courtyard."
"Not even a single concubine"
Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, while Ye Xi nodded. In her heart, she thought, perhaps if the princess acted like this, the prince would become more interested in her.
But unexpectedly, Feng Lingxi's next words nearly made him spit blood.
"Seems like I, as a princess, am truly unqualified. I didn't even know he didn't have any concubines. I'll find him some concubines and maids later. I wonder what kind of girls the King likes"
"Your Highness, my master doesn't like women. Please don't find him a concubine, or else he will be angry."
"Not fond of women" Hearing Ye Xi's words, Feng Lingxi's eyes flashed. "Could it be that your lord favors men" If so, things would be easier.
Ye Xi cried out, "Your Majesty, what my subordinates mean is that His Royal Highness is a man of integrity and dislikes having many wives and concubines. You should get to know him better, and absolutely avoid the idea of giving him a side concubine."
All this, what a hardship! Other people's princesses would go to great lengths to get their king's favor. But his wife... she'd rather go to great lengths to help the king take concubines. Truly 'virtuous and well-behaved'.
"In that case, I really should get to know your lord better."
Is that amnesia She wanted to see just how difficult it was to get along with Dugu City after he lost his memory.
"Your Highness, please bathe quickly. I will come back later to escort you into the palace."
Ye Xi finished her instructions and hurried back to report.
He needs to tell the King, that the Queen wants to give him a concubine.
"Your Highness, I'm worried about this palace banquet. This King might give you a hard time." Xiao Li looked anxious. This king had returned, but he seemed to have forgotten the night he and his wife shared as husband and wife. She truly feared for her mistress's well-being.
"Let's take a look first, and then we can talk. After all, I'm the Fourth Princess Consort given to him by the Emperor. Could he possibly eat me"
Feng Lingxi, after bathing, changed into the luxurious attire brought by the steward for her to attend the palace banquet. After a little dressing up, her already stunning beauty became even more captivating and enchanting, leaving the servants in the house dumbfounded. They whispered in admiration, praising Feng Lingxi's beauty.
When Feng Ling Xi came out, Dugu Cheng had already changed into a new set of clothes. His handsome face was slightly frowned upon, his thin lips pursed. When he saw her, he furrowed his brows, seemingly dissatisfied with her attire.
"How is this outfit so flashy"
Feng Lingxi lowered her head and glanced at her clothes. "Your Highness, these clothes were sent by the steward. I'm only responsible for wearing them. If you find them too showy, I'll change into a more plain set."
"Hurry up and change."
Dugu Cheng looked at her in that attire, too stunning. He didn't want her to enter the palace and be treated as a spectacle.
Feng Lingxi thought that when she said that, he wouldn't mind, but unexpectedly, he really wanted her to change.
I was already a bit angry, and this only made me even angrier.
"My Lord, I suddenly remembered that I don't seem to have another outfit to wear to the banquet. Perhaps I should just make do with this one today and change into a different outfit next time."
"This King tells you to change. Don't go without clothes."
Dugu Cheng coldly shouted, looking at Feng Lingxi and him as they faced each other. His tone was cold and sharp, he didn't believe she didn't want to enter the palace and see the world.
Wind Ling Xi heard his words, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she bowed slightly.
"Then I shall return now, farewell your Highness."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking, turned and left. Dugu Cheng's handsome face sank, watching her leaving back, he shouted angrily, "Stop!"
Hearing him call out to her, Feng Lingxi didn't even turn back, just stood there.
Du Gu Cheng saw that she didn't turn back, angrily walked to her face, grabbed her arm, and shouted in anger, "Feng Ling Xi, do you really think that this king married you just to let you give this king face This king married you because the emperor wanted you to be a good omen for this king..."
So what
Feng Lingxi shook off his hand, looked at his cold eyes, and asked coldly, "Your Highness is now safe and sound back. If you are not satisfied with me as your princess, just write a divorce letter. But please don't make Your Highness feel wronged. I, such a foolish woman, am indeed unworthy of Your Highness. It's better not to delay Your Highness."
"If it weren't for your mother allowing me to bring you to the palace banquet, do you truly think I would have wanted to"
Du Gu Cheng's tone became increasingly impolite. Seeing her nonchalant attitude and repeatedly mentioning wanting a divorce, he became furious.
Could she really think that after sleeping with him, she could just get dressed and leave
He'd never let her get away with bossing him around. He wouldn't believe it, he just wanted to see how much she was really capable of.
Feng Lingxi, listening to his words and seeing his exasperated expression, suddenly burst into laughter.
"It seems the Prince is truly being treated unfairly. Then I shall accompany you to the palace banquet, so as not to trouble Mother."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking and turned to get into the carriage. Dugu Cheng sat opposite her, his face dark as he looked at the smile on her face, it was extremely irritating. How could she not show any concern about this marriage Did she really not fear angering him and being divorced
The atmosphere inside the carriage was so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
Feng Lingxi closed her eyes and meditated, she wasn't even willing to look at him.
Dugu City looked at her like this, his handsome face becoming increasingly gloomy.
He didn't understand, this royal residence, was he the Fourth Prince or her Why did he have to be controlled by her emotions.
Shouldn't he have known her temper by now after spending those days with her
Why, looking at her expression now, did he feel a tightness in his chest
The carriage arrived at the palace gate, Feng Lingxi dismounted and walked into the palace with him. Feng Lingxi saw that his pace quickened, and she was too lazy to catch up. She just watched the architecture of the imperial palace, treating it as if she were admiring the scenery.
"Your Highness, you and the King behaving like this, once you arrive at the palace, will surely attract attention. If word gets out, Your Highness will lose face in the future. It's better if you catch up to the King now and say a few kind words to him..."
"Xiao Li, stop talking."
Feng Lingxi coldly interrupted her, "Want me to get along with him Impossible."
Xiaoli still wanted to say something, but looking at the Queen's eyes, she could only close her mouth and follow.
What should be done about the Duke and Duchess like this
"Xi'er!"
As Feng Lingxi was about to arrive at the Yu Garden, she was suddenly called out by someone. Looking at Prince Dugu Yan who hurried towards her, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This was truly a case of "seeing whoever you don't want to see".
"I have met His Royal Highness."
Dugu Yan looked at her attire, so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes away. "As expected of the number one beauty in the capital, Xi'er is indeed breathtakingly beautiful."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliments. This king also finds his beloved wife so beautiful that he cannot take his eyes off her."
Du Gu Cheng walked to their front, a handsome face with eyes full of fondness looking at Feng Ling Xi, "My beloved, how did you blink and end up here"i led Lu Nian in from outside. Seeing Nangong Huayun there, she was a little surprised and then walked over with Lu Nian."Your Highness, Young Master Huayun."Nangong Huayun looked at Lu Nian, her eyes...
