."I came here to look for Xi'er. Having heard about her situation, I was worried about her, so I came to the manor to have a look.""Thank you, Consort for your concern. It's just that Xi'er has fallen...Wind Ling's beautiful eyes swept over Feng Linglong, who dodged her gaze with a flicker. The smile on Wind Ling's lips deepened, "Noble Consort Long, aren't you afraid of me This isn't like you. I just recommended you to the Empress Dowager yesterday to be Empress, how come you're so weak now If the Empress Dowager saw this, would she let you sit on the throne of Empress"
Feng Linglong's body trembled, and she looked up at Feng Lingxi. The smile in her eyes made her feel uneasy for some reason. Hearing her say this, she wasn't happy at all, even feeling panicked inside. Would Feng Lingxi really be so kind as to support her becoming the empress
"Don't you believe what I say"
Feng Ling Xi curved her lips, picked up a pastry before her and brought it to her nose, sniffing lightly. Her red lips rose slightly, "Then I'll pretend I didn't say anything."
Then, Feng Lingxi was about to get up.
Feng Linglong hurriedly called out to her, "Wait a moment."
Feng Lingxi turned around and saw Feng Linglong walking towards her. She scanned the surroundings, making sure no one was listening before asking, "You really told the Empress Dowager to recommend me as the empress"
“Of course it's true. The Empress Dowager asked me, who is more suitable to be the Queen between you and Xi Gui Fei, and she even said that she had to choose one. As you know, although we have grudges, we don't have a life-or-death feud. Xi Gui Fei is different. Of course, I chose you over her.”
“So, yesterday you intentionally let Feng Yu Xi make a mistake and get slapped by the emperor, causing her to be demoted to Jieyu”
Feng Lingxi looked at her with a smile, and Feng Linglong only felt goosebumps all over her body. This smile was really creepy.
"Yesterday's events"
Feng Lingxi feigned deep thought for a moment, “She hit me right in front of the emperor, and she was still being arrogant in front of him. I think that must be the reason why she was demoted.”
What did she say
Feng Linglong tentatively asked, and Feng Lingxi saw that she had been hooked. She racked her brains and thought for a while, "She said in front of the Emperor that the Emperor promised to make her Empress, and she said it was all the Emperor's intention, so the Emperor got angry."
"What a fool."
Feng Linglong secretly cursed, things hadn't even fallen through yet, she dared to speak like this in front of the emperor. She deserved it.
Feng Lingxi, seeing Feng Linglong like this, smiled and said, “Concubine Long is different. She is calm and analytical in her dealings with people. This is the best quality for an empress.”
"Your Highness, the Fourth Royal Wife, you jest. The Empress position is far too lofty for this concubine to aspire to, and besides, I have no children yet, how could I possibly sit upon the Imperial throne I trust His Majesty will choose a suitable candidate."
Feng Linglong's words were worthy of being taught by Feng Yuxi's lessons, learning and applying them immediately.
"Well then, I'll tell the Empress Dowager what you said next time I see her. I won't disturb Noble Consort Long any further. I'll be going now."
Feng Lingxi got up and, without giving Feng Linglong a chance to explain, left with Xiao Li. Feng Linglong was so angry that her chest felt like it was going to explode. She was just about to spit blood! This Feng Lingxi was so infuriating; she took everything she said to heart.
Feng Lingxi exited the palace, feeling extremely happy. She playfully teased Feng Linglong, feeling refreshed and invigorated. She never expected to see Feng Linglong so humble before her. Thinking back to when Feng Linglong used to bully her, a colder smile appeared on Feng Lingxi's lips.
"Your Highness, shall we wait for the Lord"
Looking at the smile on the Queen's lips, Xiaoli's mood was also very good. She really didn't expect that she could be so relieved today.
Of course, we have to wait. Let's go out for a nice dinner later.
Looking at the palace gate, this Dugu City has been in for a long time, why hasn't he come out yet
Thinking of his wound, Feng Lingxi felt a tinge of worry, but now that he was in the capital, there shouldn't be anyone who could bully him.
Zhang Gong swiftly stepped forward, upon seeing Feng Ling Xi, he hurriedly bowed, "Fourth Royal Highness, the Emperor has summoned you to enter the palace"
This appears to be an HTML tag, so the translation would simply be:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Where is the Fourth Master
So hurried, could it be related to Dugu City
"The Fourth Prince has left the palace."
Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, her sharp eyes fixed on Zhang Gonggong, "Are you sure"
"How dare a slave deceive the Fourth Royal Consort."
"This carriage was shared by the prince and I. How could the fourth prince leave without waiting for me"
There must be something fishy going on here, I just don't know if this is a genuine case of devotion.
“The Fourth Prince rode out on horseback. The Emperor sent him to suppress bandits. Bandits from the Wild Boar Village outside the city have been extremely rampant, and the villagers nearby are suffering terribly. There have been countless people who have complained. The Emperor had the Fourth Prince lead troops to quell the rebellion. This servant speaks truthfully, without any deceit towards his wife.”
"Wild Pig Village"
Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli, "Is there such a name"
Xiao Li shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of that village.
Feng Lingxi looked at Zhang Gonggong, "Do you know why the emperor called me"
"Upon hearing that the Fourth Princess Consort had emerged from Shou'an Palace, His Majesty dispatched a servant to invite you. This servant is unaware of the Emperor's purpose in summoning you."
Feng Lingxi glanced at Xiao Li, “You go back to the mansion and prepare first. When I return, we’ll head to Ye Zhu Village.”
Xiao Li received the meaning in the princess's eyes and immediately went back.
Feng Lingxi followed Zhang Gonggong to the imperial study. When Dugu Yan saw her arrive, a smile appeared on her face, and she quickly walked towards her.
"Xi'er, you're here."
Feng Lingxi took two steps back, maintaining a distance from him.
"I wonder what the Emperor summoned me for"
Dugu Cheng's handsome face darkened, "What, can't I find you if nothing happens"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. The Empress Dowager has instructed me to do some things that haven't been finished yet. I'm afraid I can't stay here to accompany Your Majesty."
"Mother, what do you want from me"
獨孤雁擰眉，看著風淩兮的眼神帶著幾分質疑，卻見風淩兮勾唇一笑，“皇上若是想要知道，不如親自去問太後好了，她老人家不讓我告訴第三個人，恕我難從命。”
Dugu Yan's face grew increasingly grim. She couldn't believe that her mother was now keeping things from her, even this. Could it have something to do with Dugu Xiu
"Your mother is looking for you. But is it about the treasure of the Yao clan"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan and said lightly, "The matter of the Yao Clan's treasure is a cooperative relationship between me and Empress Dowager. Out of respect for my cooperative partners, I cannot disclose it."
"Feng Lingxi, do you think that because of your relationship with the Empress Dowager now, you can ignore my existence This Great Yuan Dynasty is my domain…"
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is your mother."
Feng Ling's words had an effect. Dugu Yan was clearly furious, yet helplessly restrained her emotions. It was incredibly satisfying to see.
Even if it was the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, in the end, whose throne is this, it's just a word from the empress dowager.
"I know, now you don't even care about me."
Feng Lingxi calmly said, “Your Majesty is jesting. Even as the Saint Master of the Yao Clan, I wouldn't dare to look down upon Your Majesty. As for me, I am merely the Fourth Princess Consort of the Great Yuan Dynasty. I only follow orders and hope Your Majesty will forgive my transgression.”
獨孤雁 looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes turning cold, "Is that all you care about The identity of the Fourth Royal Princess"
Feng Lingxi met his cold gaze, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. She pretended not to understand, explaining, "Compared to the identity of the Fourth Princess Consort, I prefer the identity of the Saint Master of the Yao Clan."eet and walked before the woman, meeting her sharp gaze. She hurriedly spoke, "Thank you, miss, for informing me."The veiled woman stared at her, Feng Lingxi always felt familiar yet strangely foreign...
