Your Highness, is it worth going to such a dirty pond for the King"Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi like this, the corners of his lips slightly raised. He always felt that no matter what she said, it..."

It's fine if you don't want to.

"

Xiao Li finished speaking, turned around and was about to enter the mansion. Ye Xi hurriedly stopped her, nodding vigorously, "Willingly, willingly, I am willing to be bullied by you for a lifetime."

"Dummy."

Xiao Li reached out and hugged him, her eyes brimming with tears. It was so good to have someone waiting for her, she wasn't alone anymore.

"Ye Xi, thank you."

Ye Xi held Xiao Li tightly, his heart that had been lost and found once again came alive in this moment. He had waited for Xiao Li for so many years, and he finally got her. "From now on, we'll never be separated again."

"Okay."

Little Li let go of him and took Ye Xi's hand, "Let's go home."

Ye Xi looked at Xiao Li holding his hand, smiling like an idiot. Heaven knows how excited he was right now. Everything happened so suddenly, it was like a dream, but he would rather never wake up.

Du Gucheng looked at the two of them together, although he was happy for Ye Xi, his heart ached. When would he and Xi'er be able to be together like this That would be the most perfect ending. It's just that Empress Dowager... he was afraid it would take some time.

Lady Lu gave him three months, and he's already passed half a month. He has to hurry up and get the Empress Dowager to agree to his marriage proposal to Xi'er.

Ancient country of Lu, the Land of Ji

Feng Lingxi acknowledging her ancestors was a big deal. Lu Hao was so happy that Feng Lingxi was willing to do so, he didn't sleep well all night. The next day, he had people choose an auspicious day according to the lunar calendar and prepared for the ceremony of acknowledging her ancestors.

The Lu family held a position of great importance in Xigu Kingdom. Furthermore, Feng Lingxi was bestowed the title of "Sacred Bird Princess," so all matters concerning her had to be handled with utmost care and precision. Although the common people were already aware that Feng Lingxi was the Lu family's daughter, she hadn't formally acknowledged them as her parents. This led outsiders to perceive her as a illegitimate child.

Now the Lu family is known throughout the country for preparing for this major ancestral recognition ceremony. It goes without saying how important this daughter is to them. However, like Feng Lingxi, being granted the title of princess while also needing to acknowledge her ancestry is unprecedented. What's even more remarkable is that Feng Lingxi is still the empress of the Dayuan Dynasty and has three children. This has never happened before.

Fortunately, both the Lu family and the imperial family were harmonious. Feng Lingxi acknowledged her ancestry and followed the Lu family's customs. Although the elders of the Lu family had some dissatisfaction with Feng Lingxi, as the only daughter of the Lu family, even if the elders were dissatisfied, they couldn't change anything.

Besides, Feng Lingxi is the "Sacred Pheasant Princess" bestowed by the current emperor. Being included in the Lu family's genealogy is a great honor for them. Even those uncles, grand-uncles, and cousins who might have ideas can only suppress them.

Mrs. Lu arranged all of this without putting the elders of the Lu family in a difficult position or making Feng Lingxi feel uncomfortable. Everything was well-arranged, and Feng Lingxi's three children were all recorded in the family tree, bearing the surname Dugu.

On October 8th, Feng Lingxi returned to her ancestral home and performed the rituals of recognizing her ancestors according to procedure, completing the ceremony of returning to one's roots.

"Xi'er, now that you've returned to your ancestral home, can you call me father"

After the ceremony, Lu Hao looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes filled with tears. His and Wan Ying's child was finally back by his side. From now on, he had a daughter.

"Father, Mother."

Feng Ling Xi changed her words, no longer calling Lu Fu Ren "Madam." Mother is mother, and Lu Fu Ren is Lu Hao's legitimate wife, so she should call her "Mother."

"Good good good, my dear daughter."

Lady Lu smiled broadly, taking Feng Lingxi's hand and leading her aside, unable to stop the smile on her face.

"Xier, your mother now has a daughter. From now on, you'll be her dearest child."

"Thank you, mother."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Fu's joyful expression, this wasn't an act. In contrast, Lu Hao was comparatively miserable. After eagerly awaiting that "father" for so long, he hadn't even held his daughter before being pulled away by his wife. He dared not complain.

"Grandpa, Grandma."

Feng Lingxi looked at Madam Lu and Old Master Lu, bowed, and shouted.

"Good granddaughter."

Grandmother Lu responded with a polite remark and was immediately pulled away by Wan'er and her two companions to play. As for Grandfather Lu, he was completely captivated by Siqi's sweet words, almost forgetting who he was.

"Your grandparents have never been this happy before, Xier. You are the treasure of our Lu family." Mrs. Lu truly liked Feng Lingxi. Her three sons, who were all utterly mediocre, watched from the side. If she hadn't known they were her biological sons, she'd almost suspect they were adopted.

This family clearly favors their daughter. This isn't just favoritism, it's like they only see their daughter.

"What are the three of us trying to figure out"

Lu Nian sighed and glanced at his equally pitiful father, "After working so hard to find the daughter your raised outside, to replace our place, look at how happy mother is. If we didn't know that we were her biological children, I would really doubt if Xi'er was hers instead. We three are just adopted."

"Husband, Big Brother is jealous, but I actually think my younger sister is great. At least now no one will dare to bully me anymore."

Queen Phoenix leaned against her husband, smiling at the scene before her, not a hint of jealousy in her eyes. "Grandfather is right," she said. "Whether she's the daughter of House Lu or Princess Saint Raven, as long as she belongs to our Western Ancient Kingdom, that's all that matters."

Lu Nian watched them pair off one by one, he alone stood apart, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Grandmother, this is Xiaocao. She's my mother's mother's gift to me. When I grow up, I'll marry her as my wife."

Siyu pulled Xiaocao to show the old lady. Xiaocao hurriedly smiled along, but she had come to Lu's house not to be Siyu's wife, but to inquire about the whereabouts of the Madam and the Countess.

"Little Grass, this girl is truly beautiful and spirited. Even Granny likes her. However, Siyu is still young and can't marry her as a wife. It wouldn't be suitable."

The old woman's eyes turned, landing directly on her eldest grandson, Lu Nian. Her own son was still single, and Siyu was so young, of course, she should give him to her eldest grandson first.

"What's unsuitable about it Siyu likes Xiaochao, she's smart and witty. I miss her when she's not around."

"Then would you be willing to have her wait for you for ten years"

The old lady's words put Siyu in a dilemma, and she pulled him aside, whispering, "Why don't you give her to your uncle Your uncle doesn't have a wife yet."

"No, my uncle isn't suitable. He fights."

The old lady smiled so widely that her eyes were crinkled, “That’s wonderful then, your eldest uncle owes one good beating. That’s settled.”

Little Cai laughed awkwardly. What a big uncle, little uncle, she was looking for the princess.

When Xiaocao saw the Princess walking away alone, she hurried to find Feng Lingxi, "Princess, Xiaocao has something to tell you."

Just as Xiaochao ran to Feng Lingxi's side, she was noticed by Lu's wife. At first glance, this watery girl had captured her heart.

"Xier, I've never seen this girl before. "

"Mother, she's Xiaocǎo, someone who used to be around my mother. She came to find me." Feng Lingxi hurriedly explained, looking at Mrs. Lu's gaze fixed on Xiaocǎo, like a famished cat eyeing a fish, eager and desperate.

This girl is good.

This one is perfect for the big boss, so graceful and elegant, she looks just like a daughter-in-law from the Lu family.ds her."I wasn't really good to you before, but I truly want to be good to you now."Feng Aotian took a deep breath, “Whether you believe it or not, I want to help you now.”Feng Lingxi remained silent....
