Chapter 81: Fighting on the Bed (Part 45)

the saintess' child could have been saved."Yao Zhi listened to their words, and his heart became even more certain of the answer he had in mind.Feng Lingxi's return threw the elders into turmoil, cau...Feng Lingxi heard her address, a flash of coldness crossed his eyes, but he smiled without changing his expression, "Princess Zhaoran seems to know a lot about me."

When the old princess heard that Princess Zhaoran said Feng Lingxi was foolish, her face turned unpleasant.

Her daughter-in-law is so intelligent, how come she's acting foolish

"Princess Zhaoran, Xi'er is already better."

Princess Zhaoran smiled and held onto Old Madam's arm, accusing Feng Lingxi, "Your Grace, even if she is well now, she was a foolish fool before. General Cheng is a war god, the hero of our Yuanxing Dynasty. How could such a woman be worthy of General Cheng."

“Princess Zhaoran, by what you say, Xi'er isn't worthy of Cheng’er. Then what kind of woman would be worthy of him”

The Dowager Queen glanced at Feng Lingxi, seeing that she wasn't angry. A smile appeared on her face. Princess Zhaoran thought the Dowager Queen disliked Feng Lingxi and quickly said, "Naturally, it should be a match made in heaven. Only a smart and capable woman is worthy of Cheng Gege."

"Princess Zhaoran, you speak truly. If not, why don't Princess Zhaoran tell the Prince and have him divorce me and marry you instead"

Feng Ling Xi suddenly spoke, and Princess Zhao Ran's face flushed with alternating shades of red and white. She quickly explained, "This princess never said that she wanted Cheng Ge Ge to marry me."

"In that case, let the Prince make do with a wife who doesn't deserve him. After all, it was the Emperor who bestowed me upon him. If he truly wishes to divorce me, he'll need the Emperor's consent."

Princess Zhao's finger pointed at Feng Lingxi. "You actually used the Emperor to threaten Cheng Gege, you think this way, Cheng Gege will be with a woman like you You are dreaming."

Feng Lingxi smiled, such a straightforward personality in this imperial palace could barely survive for days. If she wasn't spoiled at home, she wouldn't be so arrogant, so unrestrained in front of her mother concubine.

"If the Princess likes the Prince, she should go tell him. Talking about it here with me is probably pointless."

Princess Zhaoran glared at her angrily, "Sharp-tongued and self-important."

When she sees Cheng Gege, watch how she'll make him divorce this woman. Just looking at her is disgusting. Cheng Gege's princess can only be hers.

"Princess Zhaoran, Xi'er is this palace's intended daughter-in-law. Her status is no lower than yours. If you don't want to disgrace Prince Yu, I suggest you be more polite to Xi'er."

The Old Madam Wang's face darkened. Letting Xier serve her as a princess, how could she still be suppressed by this openly prominent County Princess

When Princess Zhao heard this, her face changed. She quickly said, "Noble Consort Shu, Princess Zhao meant no disrespect. I just think she is not worthy of Brother Cheng. I am upset for Brother Cheng. Marrying such a woman, he must feel stifled in his heart."

"You are not Cheng'er, how would you know if he is happy or feeling stifled inside"

The Dowager Queen was displeased. This Princess of Zhaoran, truly acting as if no one else existed, had really angered her. Her daughter-in-law, she didn't even deserve to be reprimanded like this.

"Could it be that Cheng Gege would still like someone as foolish as her"

"Princess Zhaoran, you've really disappointed me. The King truly likes a simple and foolish woman like me. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and said to her mother, "Mother, let me accompany you for a walk over there."

The Dowager Empress took her hand and said to Princess Zhaoran, "Princess Zhaoran, this palace likes Xier as my daughter-in-law very much, and I don't like others talking badly about her. How she was before doesn't matter to me. Now that she is my daughter-in-law, this palace will not allow anyone to disrespect her, nor allow anyone to bully her."

Princess Zhao's face changed, and she quickly bowed and apologized, "Your Majesty the Consort Shu, Princess Zhao doesn't know how to speak properly. I hope Your Majesty the Consort Shu will forgive me."

Before entering the palace, her father had warned her to never clash with Imperial Consort Shu. She had thought that Imperial Consort Shu would not like Feng Lingxi as her daughter-in-law, but she was unexpectedly so protective of her.

"The county princess may do as she pleases, this palace will go for a walk with Xi'er."

Feng Lingxi followed her mother out, and Princess Zhaoran watched their leaving figures with anger. She stomped her feet angrily.

"This damn Feng Lingxi, I didn't expect her to actually win the favor of Empress Shu. It infuriates me!"

"My lady, I heard that the Fourth Prince is extremely fond of this new wife. She must have used her charm to seduce him. Otherwise, how could a man like the Fourth Prince, who doesn't go near women, be so kind to her"

When the maidservant by Princess Zhaoran's side said this, Princess Zhaoran was even angrier.

"Come on, let's go find the Emperor right now! I want to ask the Emperor to give me his blessing to marry Cheng Gege."

Feng Lingxi and her mother-in-law walked away, she turned back to glance at the departing Princess Zhaoran, "Mother Empress, it seems that Princess Zhaoran likes the Crown Prince very much. As a daughter-in-law, I don't understand why he wasn't made her concubine in the first place"

"Do you think she's a good match for Cheng'er"

Feng Lingxi seriously thought for a moment, "At least his status is better than mine, it's a match made in heaven."

"If she cared about a match made in heaven, your mother wouldn't have accepted you as her daughter-in-law." The Old Madam's words caused Feng Lingxi to laugh. Looking at her like this, she seemed to be a bit angry, with an expression of being frustrated that iron couldn't be turned into steel.

"Mother, in fact, I'm not as good as you think. Actually, the King and I..."

“Mother, I think you two are very well-suited. Having lived so long, I have seen countless people. Mother knows what kind of woman is suitable for Cheng'er. Although you say you can’t do anything, you can actually do everything. You are very shrewd. However, Mother wants to remind you that blindly accommodating might not always be a good thing.”

"I don't want to argue with her." It's best to avoid it if possible. After all, she is a noblewoman. If this gets out of hand, it will only cause trouble for herself, and she doesn't want that.

"Xier, don't be afraid. I, your mother, will support you. She dare not do anything to you."

Feng Lingxi responded, and inside the garden, numerous imperial concubines saw Shu Fei. They were very polite to her, bowed after greeting her, then retreated, showing great respect towards her.

"Imperial Noble Consort Shu, the Empress requests your presence."

Hearing the Empress, Feng Lingxi felt a little nervous. Her mother had told her that the Empress was the biological mother of the prince and wasn't kind to Consort Shu. She advised her to be careful. Now, calling her mother over, she didn't know what purpose it served.

The old imperial concubine turned to instruct Zhao Mama, "You accompany the Fourth Imperial Concubine and take a good stroll here."

"Mother…"

The Old Madam patted her hand, "Don't worry, your mother will be back soon. Remember what your mother told you."

Feng Ling Xi responded, watching her mother leave. She strolled listlessly through the Imperial Garden, her mind elsewhere.

"Brother Cheng, just play with me for a while, please."

The sound of Princess Zhaoran's voice reached Feng Lingxi's ears. The word "City Brother" made Feng Lingxi turn her head to look at Princess Zhaoran, who was tugging on Dugu City from a distance. Didn't the Emperor summon him How did he end up entangled with Princess Zhaoran.

Just as I was about to go and see the excitement, someone stopped me."Dugu City watched them put aside all their grievances and walk out of the room."Ye Xi, tell them to finish preparing the manor. Allocate the courtyards, giving Tian Xiao Mi and Feng Yi Xuan each a se...
