arrived at the Prince's mansion, Feng Lingxi walked toward her own courtyard. The infighting within this imperial palace was truly not something a human should endure.獨孤城 saw that she was unhappy, an...Xiaoli caught up to the princess's pace, so excited she almost screamed.

"Your Highness, you were too amazing just now! You didn't even see the look on Lady Luo's face, it was simply priceless."

Feng Lingxi smiled and shook her head. "What, do you think I came back to let her bully me, to let her vent her anger on me"

Xiao Li kept close to the princess's side, giggling mischievously, "Of course not! Princess, you are the king's beloved, the holy master of the Yao clan. How could anyone dare to bully you Even this Luo County Lord is so shameless, how could she run wild in front of the princess"

Feng Lingxi got into the carriage and looked at Xiaoli sitting beside her, instructing, "What I just said, I can say, but you absolutely cannot say it, lest it bring you disaster. Understand"

Xiao Li nodded, “This servant would only speak before the Princess and wouldn’t speak carelessly.”

Feng Lingxi responded in kind, her thoughts were quite clear.

To live another life, only to be bullied again What's the difference then from being dead

Luo Juzhou was speechless from Feng Lingxi's sharp words. After Feng Lingxi left, she burst into tears. Shu Taifei hated it when women cried; her mood became agitated as soon as Luo Juzhou started weeping.

"Shu Taifei, is Zhou'er really as unbearable as the Fourth Princess said"

The Imperial Noble Consort Shu wanted to say something, but seeing her now crying like this, coupled with what Xi'er had just said, was already enough for her to bear.

"Zuo'er, Xi'er's personality is just like this. Even though she is the Holy Master of Yao Clan and her status is there, even in front of the Empress Dowager, she is like this. Just get used to it."

Shu Tai's words made Luo Juzhou want to angrily curse Feng Lingxi, but then she swallowed them back.

The Yao Clan's Saintess is truly remarkable. However, she knew that the Yao Clan was not subject to any nation's control, let alone Wind Ling Xi being the Saintess of the Yao Clan. If she didn't want to be wronged, who dared to wrong her

But she really couldn't accept it. Could it be that her hope of marrying Cheng Gege as his fourth princess was truly gone

"Imperial Noble Consort Shu, Zhōu'er really wants to marry Cheng Gege."

"Here we go again," Shu Taifei rubbed her temples with a headache, "Zhou'er, you should still tell Cheng'er about this. This concubine can't make the decision. You heard what Xi'er just said, didn't you The imperial decree regarding Si Wangfei's status was issued by the late emperor, it cannot be changed. Furthermore, with General Feng returning to Beijing now, as you've seen, he praises Xi'er profusely. You should think carefully before acting and discuss this thoroughly with your father."

Seeing her crying, Shu Taifei quickly found an excuse: “This concubine will go to the kitchen and personally make a pot of soup for Cheng’er. He has been away from the capital for half a month this time and has lost a lot of weight.”

Before leaving, she instructed them, “Take good care of Princess Luo. I’ll be back as soon as I'm finished.”

Luo Juzhou came back to his senses, only to find that Shutai had already walked far away.

Have you four always been like this

Luo Ju Zhou foolishly asked a question, and the maidservants hurriedly said, “The Fourth Princess treats us all very well, everyone in the mansion feels this way.”

"Then why won't she just give up the position of Fourth Princess to this noble lady"

Luo Ju Zhou's words made the maids want to roll their eyes, but due to their lowly status, they didn't dare say a word, bowing their heads in silence.

Shou'an Palace

"Your Majesty, the Four Consort wishes to see you."

While Empress Cen was resting on a soft bed, she heard this, her brows furrowed slightly as she struggled with whether or not to see the woman. Just then, she heard Feng Lingxi's voice from outside.

"Your Majesty, I have something to request an audience."

"Let her come in."

Then Empress Cen sat gracefully, and Feng Lingxi entered. Upon seeing the then Empress Cen, she bowed respectfully, her facial expression unreadable.

"Feng Lingxi paid her respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager Cen glanced at her and asked lightly, "What time is it now Why are you just coming to pay your respects to me"

Wind Ling Xi bowed and said, "My humble self has come today with a matter to report. A few days ago, I went out of the city to Yangshan County. On my way back, I encountered disaster victims who had lost their homes. Therefore, I specially came to report this to the Empress Dowager."

"What did the Fourth Princess go to Yangshan County for"

Empress Cen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Speaking of which, I heard that the Fourth Prince appeared in Yangshan County." Zhang Mama hurriedly reminded her.

“Your Majesty, I’m going to look for Fourth Prince. A few days ago, you asked my mother to tell me that I need to be pregnant within three months. Fourth Prince left the capital on business and his return date is unknown. I have no choice but to go find him, or else I won't have enough time.”

I was still thinking about how to bring up the matter of getting her pregnant, but unexpectedly, Empress Cen brought it up first. Feng Lingxi naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity and explained everything clearly, just in case she forgot that they were still partners.

Empress Dowager Cen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhang Mama beside her, "Is there such a thing"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, staring at Zhang Mamu, making Zhang Mamu break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Zhang Mama speechless for half a while, Feng Ling Xi looked towards Empress Cen.

"Setting that aside for now, my concubine entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager because of the matter concerning the disaster relief. I wonder if the Empress Dowager has received General Feng's report"

"As for the plight of the displaced, this Imperial Concubine is already aware. The prince of Pingnan Wang is handling the matter, and this Imperial Concubine will ensure it is resolved properly. Fourth Royal Consort need not fret over this any further."

When Feng Lingxi heard what the Empress Dowager said, she didn't mention the disaster victims anymore and continued to talk about having children.

Anyway, she came here today to see if the Empress cared about the Yao Clan treasure.

“Thus, this concubine thanks the Empress Dowager on behalf of those disaster victims for her keen insight.”

Queen Mother Cen narrowed her eyes slightly. "Fourth Princess, you've been idle lately. Have you made contact with the Yao tribe"

When mentioning the Yao people, Feng Lingxi smiled brightly.

"Of course, as the Sacred Lord of the Yao Clan, I couldn't possibly ignore matters concerning my own people."

Wind Ling Xi's title change caused Empress Cen to frown. She turned to Zhang Mama and said, "Go to the Imperial Kitchen and bring a bowl of bird's nest soup to Fourth Princess Consort. She has lost a lot of weight recently."

Zhang Mama retreated, Feng Lingxi thanked her and looked at Empress Cen.

"Empress Dowager, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion."

"Speak your mind, I don't need you to be so distant with me."

Wind Ling Xi politely said, "Your Majesty Empress Dowager, I just arrived at the Prince's Mansion this morning. Today, General Pingxi, General Pannan, and General Feng are all at the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Your Majesty Empress Dowager, do you know about this"

"What was strange about the Pingxi Wang and the Pingshan Wang at the Four Palaces"

Cen Taizi did not know what she meant by this, and could not help but raise an eyebrow.

Just say what you have to say. I don't want to beat around the bush with you.

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, her eyes fixed on Cen Taihou's face. "A few days ago, Luo Junzhu of Pingxi Wangfu stayed at Sifang Wangfu. She wanted to marry Dugu Cheng. Today, she told me that she wants to marry Dugu Cheng and doesn't want to be a concubine."

Empress Cen frowned, her expression full of disgust. This Luo Ju Zhou was so foolish to actually say it out loud.

"Empress Dowager, back when the late emperor bestowed a marriage, my status as the Fourth Princess cannot be changed. Besides, my marriage to Duke Dugu was also a collaboration between the Yao Clan and the Great Yuan Dynasty. Is that not true"all from Feng Lingxi, unfolding it to look at the drawing on it, his brows furrowed slightly.Xi'er is still thinking about what your father said.“I just feel sorry for my mother. Seeing her waste her...
