Doctor Liu, "Thank you for your hard work.""Fourth Royal Highness, how is your body feeling Are you any better"Doctor Liu, with a concerned expression, immediately beckoned to the jailer in the distan...Feng Lingxi, looking at the smile on Xiaochao's face, really longed for her mother. Since she was born, she and her mother had spent very little time together. She didn't even fully understand what kind of person her mother was before she left. Afterward, all the news about her came from others.
"Sister, something big has happened."
Lu Nian hurried over, panting and said, "The esteemed King Yu is here."
"King Yù Dúlǔyǔ" She hadn't heard this person's name in ages, and now he was looking for her. It was a real shock.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got half the power in court now. If he stomped his foot, the whole capital would shake."
Lu Nian's words weren't an exaggeration. At present, Dugu Yu held such a position. Feng Ling Xi vaguely remembered when she had gone to find Dugu Cheng, he had said that after his queen died, he wouldn't fight for power anymore. Unexpectedly, he still went back on his word.
"Miss, who is this King Yu Is he good or bad"
Xiao Cao immediately asked, being said so by Lu Nian, nervously couldn't stand it anymore, hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, a posture ready to fight. Lu Nian glanced at Xiao Cao, his eyes full of confusion, "You..."
"What's it to you, I didn't ask you anything, just keep your mouth shut."
Xiaochao glared at Lunian, looking fierce. Lunian swallowed the words he had about to say. With such a glare, he couldn't afford to provoke her, let alone run away from her.
"Big brother, she is Xiaocǎo. She's someone by my mother's side. I mentioned her before. You helped me take care of her. I'm going to see King Yù."
Feng Lingxi watched their interaction, thinking about the matchmaking plan, so she left them two alone and went away.
"Sister... wait for me."
Lu Nian took a look at the little grass, startled not lightly, and hurriedly chased after Feng Lingxi, slipping away.
"Miss, I'll go too."
Little Grass came to her senses and hurriedly chased after him.
Duke Gu Yu was sitting in the front hall of the Lu residence. The steward was entertaining guests when Feng Lingxi arrived, he hurried forward, "Miss, His Royal Highness, Wang Yù wants to see you."
Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Yu, then turned to Lu Nian Xiaocao who was chasing after them, and said, "You guys wait for me outside. I have something to say to Wang Yu."
"Miss, will he..."
Feng Ling turned her head and glanced back nervously. Seeing that the little grass remained motionless, she retreated to the front hall and waited, her eyes fixed on inside the room.
"Your Highness, it's been a while."
Feng Lingxi greeted him and walked over to sit down. Dugu Yu looked at Feng Lingxi's appearance now, it was really the same as back then, without any change.
"You're still so beautiful. These years, it seems you've been doing well."
Dugu Yu smiled in praise, Feng Lingxi said with a faint smile, "The life of an idle cloud and crane, isn't it the life Your Highness the King of Wind now lives How could you think of coming here to find me."
"Why couldn't I come find you"
Feng Lingxi smiled, “Your words make this king rather suspicious. Aren't you disgusted that this king is bothering you”
"I dare not, I'm just a little curious."
Dugu Yu smiled, waved his hand, and a guard brought over a box. Opening it revealed all sorts of precious medicinal herbs. Feng Lingxi was slightly surprised, "Your Highness, this is..."
"This meeting gift, please don't find it objectionable."
A thousand-year ginseng, Tian Shan snow lotus, such precious medicinal materials, just a greeting gift. Would you believe it
“Your Majesty’s meeting gift is truly too precious. I really can’t accept it. And I don't need it very much right now, so…”
"No refusal allowed."
Dugu Yu's domineering interruption, looking at Feng Lingxi's apprehensive eyes, "There's no need to feel burdened, these are just trivial things to this king, as long as you like them, there are plenty more in this king's mansion."
Feng Lingxi's smile remained on her face, but inwardly she was shocked by Duguyu's words. It seemed that over the years, this King of Honor had lived a good life indeed. After all, as the powerful King of Honor, able to rival the prime minister, how could he not have these things.
"In that case, I shall take my leave of Your Highness."
Feng Lingxi gestured for the steward beside her to take those things, and only then did she realize that Dugu Yu had been staring at her all along. His fiery gaze made Feng Lingxi feel a little uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, is there anything else you need from me today"
"Still so straightforward, not liking to beat around the bush, this king rather likes your personality."
Feng Lingxi's smile was about to disappear. Did people like her personality How could she feel that this Prince Yu had ulterior motives towards her
"My personality has always been like this," Feng Lingxi tried her best to maintain a smile. She hadn't stayed in the capital long enough to offend him, she needed to find out his intentions first before making any plans.
"What you said is partly right and partly wrong. You've become much gentler now, not as imposing as before. But, to be honest, that imposing nature of yours was also very charming."
Feng Lingxi awkwardly took a sip of water. Did this Duguo Yu know what he was talking about
"Xi'er Can this King address you like that"
Feng Ling Xi choked with indignation at the nickname, Dugu Yu rushed to her side to help her calm down. Startled, Feng Ling Xi stood up abruptly, knocking over her cup which shattered on the ground.
"Your Highness, you scared me."
It was only then that Du Guyu noticed that his behavior had frightened Feng Lingxi, so he immediately smiled and changed the subject.
"Look at me, I'm truly embarrassed. It's been so long, I'd forgotten that you are now the Sacred Bird Princess of Xi Gu Kingdom."
He properly mentioned Princess Xiguo's identity, could it be that Du Guyu wants to marry her
Feng Ling Xi's heart was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief. Looking into Du Gu Yu's burning gaze, she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Royal Highness, my brother is watching over there."
Wind Ling gestured towards Lu Nian, quickly giving her a look and hurrying over to ease the tension. She didn't want to accidentally bring up the topic of marriage during their conversation.
Lu Nian walked into the hall and greeted Dugu Yu. He then walked over to Feng Lingxi's side and sat down. After all, he was from Xigu Country. Although Dugu Yu was the Prince of Yuwang, he was now the elder brother of Princess Shenglan. This status was not lower than his own title as Prince of Yuwang.
"Oh, it's Big Brother Lu."
Dugu Yu's shout almost made Lu Nian choke.
"I dare not accept such praise, Your Highness. I am merely a humble merchant."
Dugu Yu smiled and said, "How could that be You are Xi'er's elder brother. It's only right for this king to call you Brother Lu."
"Your Royal Highness means you are infatuated with my younger sister"
Feng Lingxi widened his eyes and looked at Lu Nian. What was he saying It was such a straightforward question, but thinking about it, it wasn't bad either. Ask clearly, refuse, and that's it.
Dugu Yu looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of tenderness, "Since the demise of this king's previous wife, I have never taken another consort. I wonder if it would be an honor to have you as my consort..."
"Sister, is the Crown Prince unwell"
Lu Nian interrupted Dugu Yu's words, "I saw you couldn't even stand straight this morning. Shouldn't it be too early to consider changing men"
Feng Lingxi widened her eyes, could Lü Nian really be speaking human words
Have her admit this in public
"Big brother, you...what are you doing" Feng Lingxi's face flushed red. This scene fell in the eyes of Dugu Yu, and the smile on his face froze instantly.face, his eyes sweeping over the panic in his gaze. He said softly, "Apart from the eldest son, there doesn't seem to be any other legitimate sons in the Prime Minister's Mansion, does there"Nan Gong...
