Du Gu Su's body. The thick blanket wrapped Du Gu Su’s body tightly, he shivered violently, his eyes closed, unaware of what kind of pain he was enduring.Feng Lingxi, after becoming a doctor, had never...Dugu Cheng watched Ye Xi step forward. Ye Xi glanced at the Princess, “My Lord, Your Highness, the Emperor’s decree is for you and your Princess to enter the palace for a meal.”

"Meals in the palace"

Feng Lingxi frowned, looking at Dugu City, "What's going on"

"Of course, your mother must miss you dearly as her daughter-in-law. Besides, after your marriage, you haven't paid respects to the emperor yet."

Dugu Cheng casually made up a reason. Feng Lingxi was even more puzzled, "Shouldn't you have gone earlier to pay respects"

"It's just a family dinner, there's no need to overthink it. Let's go back home first and prepare for the palace banquet. Don't keep the Emperor and Empress waiting."

Zhang hurriedly said, "Xier, you quickly go back with the Wangye. This mother is fine, and will take care of herself."

Feng Lingxi instructed, "Mother, remember what I told you, be careful."

"Alright, go back quickly."

Zhang urged, "Don't waste time."

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi left General's Mansion. Feng Aotian wanted to see them off but was too late. After learning the reason for their departure, Feng Aotian broke out in a cold sweat. If it was because of Lingyu, this time Lingyu would be doomed.

"Your Majesty suddenly summoned us to the palace. Could it really just be for a meal"

Feng Lingxi was a little uneasy. Being the emperor's wife wouldn't be easy. If she had to perform something, she wouldn't know how. She would definitely become the laughingstock of the women in the harem.

"Xier, after entering the palace, you can't call the Emperor "Your Majesty." You have to call him "Father" with me."

Dugu Cheng reminded, "Don't forget, you are the Fourth Royal Wife bestowed upon this king by your father emperor."

Feng Lingxi responded, “I’ll try my best to speak less and not cause you trouble.”

Dugu City saw her slightly nervous expression and smiled, "With me here, you needn't be so tense."

"Who's nervous"

Wind Ling Xi retorted, meeting Du Gu Cheng's smiling eyes. She looked away and said coldly, "You should know that I am not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. If I were to perform, I might embarrass the King at that time."

"Let them talk, let them judge. Whether it's good or bad, it doesn't matter to me. I have nothing to be ashamed of."

Du Gu Cheng's words made Feng Ling Xi's heart feel a little chaotic. She wasn't that she couldn't do anything, it was just that, the original owner had previously been known as foolish and simple. If she were to be capable of everything, it would definitely attract suspicion and she couldn't easily expose herself.

"This is what you said, don't blame me for embarrassing you later."

Dugu Cheng glanced at her, the smile on his lips widening. Feng Lingxi turned her eyes away, unwilling to speak to him.

"Xi'er, perform as you please. If you feel ashamed, consider it my loss."

Back at the mansion, Feng Lingxi immediately went to prepare. Dugu Cheng took Ye Xi back to his study and wrote a letter, handing it to Ye Xi.

"Send this out."

Ye Xi took it, and reminded, "My Lord, my subordinate learned that tonight's palace banquet will also be attended by the Crown Prince and Princess Zhao Ran."

"It seems the Emperor intends to make Lady Zhao of Zhaoran the Crown Princess."

Dugu Cheng changed his clothes and suddenly smiled, asking Ye Xi, "You said which one is more powerful between Zhao Ran Junzhu and Xi'er's elder sister"

"Ye Xi was puzzled, "Your Majesty, why are you curious about this"

"After all, it's a fact that Xi'er dislikes this person. Though This King doesn't particularly like Princess Zhaoran, compared to her, I dislike even more the people Xi'er detests."

Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly, looking at the current state of the King. Back then, they had agreed to take revenge on the Queen, hadn't they

He knew he would never be able to get revenge on the princess in this lifetime, he could only be suppressed by her.

"By the way, has that set of gold needles I had custom-made for Xier been finished"

"Go check it out."

Ye Xi took the letter out, and Dugu City chose a set of clothes, packed up, and went to Feng Lingxi's side. Looking at her wearing a plain dress, his handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "Xier, are you planning to wear this dress into the palace to meet the saint"

Feng Ling lowered her head and looked at her clothes, "Is it inappropriate"

"As the fourth princess of the Four Royal Mansions, your attire is too plain. When my mother sees this, she'll surely turn back and tell me, Your Highness. Someone, bring the clothes I prepared for my wife."

Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly. He had prepared clothes for her, so why didn't he say anything earlier She had spent half the day looking for clothes.

After the filming, Feng Lingxi looked at the several sets of clothes brought in and hesitated, "Which one should I choose"

Dugu Cheng picked up a set of pink embroidered skirt and handed it to her, "Just this one, you'll definitely look good in it."

"See you later."

Although she didn't like such flamboyant attire, since Dugu City said to wear this set, she would cooperate even if she disliked it. After all, facing the Emperor wasn't like being in the mansion, leaving her no choice in the matter.

Dressed up, Dugu City regretted it. He was already extremely handsome, but in this attire, he became even more stunningly beautiful.

"May I"

That's it.

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod and without even looking at her reflection in the mirror, she tidied up and followed Dugu Cheng out of the mansion onto the carriage.

"Here you go."

Ye Xi brought the finished golden needles. After Du Gu Cheng sat down, he sent them out. Feng Ling Xi took them and asked in confusion, "What's this"

"Open it up."

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi eagerly as she opened the box, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the golden needles. "Do you like it" Du Gu Cheng asked hastily.

"Is this gold needle real"

Dugu Cheng's smile stiffened slightly, his face darkening. "Xi'er, this king is still a prince after all, would I give you fake goods"

Feng Lingxi saw him angry and calmly said, "I didn't mean it that way, Your Highness. This gift is too valuable for me to accept."

Taking back the acupuncture needle, Dugu City shoved the box into her hand. "Things I give away don't get returned. You've saved me several times. What if next time I get injured, will you still use your embroidery needle to treat me"

Feng Lingxi listened to his words, wanting to speak but holding back.

After a moment, Feng Lingxi put the golden needles away and said, "Then I thank Your Highness for your kindness. Next time, I will definitely use the golden needles to treat Your Highness."

“You…”

When Dugu City heard her say this, he made up an excuse to send her away, and she actually believed it

Could he really be hurt

Feng Lingxi handed the golden needle to Xiaoli, keeping it safe. She lifted the curtain and looked out the window, remaining silent.

The carriage arrived at the palace, and Feng Lingxi and Dugu City dismounted.

“At today’s meal, both Princess Zhaoran and the Crown Prince were present. This Princess Zhaoran is quite willful and unreasonable. You best not provoke her.”

"Hmm."

Seeing that she had listened, Dugu Cheng brought her to his mother's palace to pay respects. When the old princess saw Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi arrive, she was very happy.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to her mother-in-law."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly bowed, and the old matriarch stepped forward to support her, pulling her to sit beside her, completely ignoring her son standing nearby.

"My son greets his mother..."

"Er'er, your imperial father summoned you to the Imperial Study. Xi'er will stay here with this palace, you go to the Imperial Study."

Dugu Cheng glanced at his mother, feeling quite helpless. His mother truly treated Xi'er better than him, and he, couldn't even feel jealous. sent by Xin Shui, why did they place so many women around the Empress Dowager What is their purpose We have to be on guard."Qinghe was arranged by Xinshui.
