with my life, after all, it was you who saved me."Feng Lingxi glanced at her, "As long as you don't betray me, your life is of no need to me. My life, I can protect myself.""From now on, whatever you...The next morning, Feng Lingxi got up and went straight to the imperial kitchen to prepare breakfast for Empress Shu. She accompanied Empress Shu after breakfast and took her for a walk in the Imperial Garden. Rumors began to spread throughout the palace that Princess Yao Hua had treated herself like a maidservant in order to please Empress Shu.
As for the Empress Dowager, she didn't react much upon hearing the news. She just told them to keep an eye on things and instructed the Imperial Kitchen to prepare a good bird's nest soup for Princess Yao Hua. She didn't inquire about anything else.
Feng Lingxi had been running errands all day and only returned for dinner. She held a bowl of bird's nest in her hand and went to the Empress Dowager, smiling as she said, “Empress Dowager, this was prepared by Yao Hua for you at the Imperial Kitchen. Please try it.”
"Yao Hua, you finally remembered the old me."
Although the Empress Dowager said this, she still ate bird's nest with peace of mind. These bird's nests were all inspected by people she had sent. Her own, naturally, were safe.
Feng Lingxi tugged at the Empress Dowager's hand and coquettishly said, "Empress Dowager, are you blaming Yao Hua This bird's nest is the best. Yao Hua personally instructed the Imperial Kitchen to stew it for you. You must eat all of it."
Queen Cen laughed, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "How could I possibly blame you Here, have some of this."
Feng Lingxi watched as Empress Cen finished the bird's nest soup and hurriedly praised, "This bird's nest is truly magical. After the empress finishes drinking it, her complexion is even more rosy, looking ten or so years younger."
"Your little mouth is really something, this bird's nest doesn't have what you said so vividly."
Feng Lingxi looked at the Empress Dowager with a beaming smile and persisted, "Yao Hua didn't lie. Your Majesty, if you don't believe her, ask them. Is your complexion not rosy now Are you not ten years younger"
Within this palace, who dares to say the Empress Dowager is old Feng Ling Xi said these words, pleasing the Empress Dowager. Feng Ling Xi showered her with more praise, causing the Empress Dowager to smile happily.
"Empress Dowager, whatever you wish to eat, Yao Hua can bring it to you every day, wouldn't that be nice"
Feng Lingxi was clinging to Empress Dowager Cen and asking, "Empress Dowager, why are you so upset" The Empress Dowager patted her hand. “Yao Hua, you’ve been very nice to Shutai Fei, that's enough. This old woman doesn't need your fawning.”
Yao Hua didn't please the Empress Dowager, Yao Hua was truly kind to the Empress Dowager because the Empress Dowager was the best to Yao Hua.
Wind Ling Xi's sweet words made the Empress even happier, "Then do as you please, but don't overwork yourself."
"Yaohua understands, then Yaohua will go back first."
Wind Lingxi took Xiao Li away, but the Empress Dowager's smile remained. This Yao Hua, after coming into contact with her, wasn't as unpleasant as before. When things were over, she could let her move into the inner palace. Compared to those others, at least she was someone who could offer a kind word.
Feng Lingxi returned to her bedroom, bathed and changed her clothes. Xiaoli attended to her.
After a day of fawning, everyone in the palace knew she was trying to please the Consort Shu. Even the Empress Dowager drank her bird's nest soup. As long as she persisted for a while, she would achieve her goal.
"Xiao Li, keep an eye on the movements of those noble consorts in the inner palace."
Shouldn't they also be worried that the Empress Dowager will put her in the imperial harem after she moves in
Thinking of this, Feng Ling Xi's eyes grew colder and colder. Feng Yu Xi, it's time for me to take you apart.
For several days, Feng Lingxi went back and forth between the Empress Dowager and Shu Taifei. The entire palace knew that Shu Taifei favored Princess Yao Hua, and even the Empress Dowager was delighted by Princess Yao Hua. Those who came to fawn over Feng Lingxi began to appear, and the first one was this Wind Rain Evening.
Seeing the pastries she brought, Feng Lingxi happily took one and took a light bite. The greedy cat-like gesture added a few more smiles to Feng Yuxi's face.
"Princess Yao Hua, how have you been settling in the palace these past few days"
Feng Yu Xi watched her eat with such happiness, softly asked, "That concerned look on his face made Feng Ling Xi hurriedly swallow the pastry in her mouth.
"It's quite common, the Empress Dowager and Noble Consort are very good to this princess. This princess is considering staying for a while longer."
Knowing that Feng Yu Xi was afraid of the palace life, Feng Ling Xi deliberately said so. As expected, Feng Yu Xi's eyes changed slightly, and she smiled and said, "That's good. With the love of the Empress Dowager and the Noble Consort Shu, Princess Yao Hua will surely win over the Fourth Prince's heart."
"Your Majesty, Xi Gui Fei, this Feng Lingxi is your sister after all. You want the Fourth Prince to divorce her just so you can marry him"
Feng Yu’s complexion changed slightly at her words, taken aback by the question. She quickly explained, “Fourth Sister poisoned the late emperor, a capital offense. She was spared only because of Fourth Prince's protection. While this concubine wishes to help her, the crime of poisoning the emperor is one I am powerless to assist with.”
What a helpless situation. If she didn't know the real intention, she would have believed what Feng Yu Xi said.
Feng Lingxi clapped her hands together, the pastries she held still warm. “That is indeed true. Xi Gui, you tell me about Feng Lingxi. The Princess has heard that she possesses exceptional medical skills. Could you enlighten me on just how impressive her abilities truly are”
The smile froze on Feng Yu Xi's face, how did she know this.
"Imperial Noble Consort Xi, are you unwilling to tell this princess"
Feng Lingxi's expression was displeased, Feng Yuxi hurriedly accompanied her with a smile and said, "How could that be I just don't know where to start."
"Then tell this princess, is her medical skill very impressive"
"Her medical skills are indeed good, but she's arrogant and loves to show off."
"It turns out she's a strong person."
Feng Lingxi, hearing Feng Yu Xi's evaluation of herself, put on a disdainful facade. "It seems like this princess should find an opportunity to have a showdown with her."
"Princess Yaohua is born of royalty, why compare her to someone like this Moreover, after the princess marries the Fourth Prince, she will be unable to threaten the princess anymore."
"What do you mean"
Feng Lingxi feigned ignorance and asked, "What's the matter" Yu Xi smiled and said, "Princess, think about it. Once you marry the Fourth Prince, you will be the Fourth Princess. Feng Lingxi is a betrothal gift for your marriage to the Fourth Prince. She poisoned the previous emperor and must surely be punished. At that time, she might not even keep her life."
"Noble Consort Xi, she is your sister after all. Doing this to her must be heartbreaking for her, isn't it"
Feng Lingxi burst into a furious reprimand. The smile on Yu Xi's face vanished instantly, and the joy in her eyes disappeared. Seeing Princess Yao Hua so angry, she hurriedly explained, "Princess, please don't speak up for her. If the Empress Dowager hears this, she might take it out on you."
"Why"
Feng Lingxi pretended not to understand and asked, Feng Yu Xi pulled her aside and whispered, "Feng Lingxi poisoned the late emperor, can the empress dowager let her go"
"So, Feng Lingxi is undoubtedly going to die"
In the fading light of dusk, Feng Yu stood with his chin bowed. Glancing around at the emptiness, he spoke, "Princess Yao Hua, you will be the future Fourth Princess. How can you speak up for Feng Ling Xi"
"This princess won't speak with you any longer, Xigui, go back."
Wind Lingxi stood up, taking Xiao Li away, letting Feng Yu Xi's face darken with her willful actions.
Unless she was here to probe the situation, Princess Yao Hua wouldn't have thought she would come looking for her.
Feng Yu Xi Leng let out a cold snort, her eyes flashed, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her lips.
Why not take this opportunity, join forces with Feng Linglong, and get rid of that despicable Shen Yun first.other concubine, she will teach him a lesson.”Feng Lingxi was slightly taken aback, not knowing why he suddenly said these things to her."Mother, Duogu Cheng and I get along well. He hasn't mistreated...
