Xi and I will go to Linxi County first and wait for you."Feng Ling Xi raised her head and looked into Feng Yu Mo's determined eyes, reminding him, "Be careful along the way, don't be reckless, your l...When Zhao Ma heard Feng Ling Xi's words, she immediately scolded them.

Cheng Xin and Cheng Yi hurriedly apologized to Feng Ling, nodding their heads meekly.

"Come on, let's not keep Mother waiting."

Wind Ling Xi opened her mouth, Zhao Mama gritted her teeth and glared at Wind Ling Xi's back, hurriedly following after her. Cheng Xin, Cheng Yi hurriedly followed behind her, their faces were very unpleasant.

"Grandmother Zhao, what does Mother like What doesn't she like Tell me, so I can mentally prepare myself."

Following closely behind her was Zhao Mamā. Feng Lingxi opened her mouth and asked, "There are quite a few servants in this prince's mansion, and the grandeur of this place is several times stronger than General Mansion. The only thing that chills my heart is that there isn't a single maidservant attending to me in my courtyard."

If the treatment of these four empresses were to be spread, she would probably become a laughingstock for the world.

"Your Majesty, the Dowager Empress has resided in Xiuxin Garden for over a decade. This Xiuxin Garden was specially built by the Emperor for the Dowager Empress. She dislikes the palace and prefers to cultivate Buddhism in Xiuxin Garden, praying for blessings for the Emperor and the Crown Prince. She enjoys tranquility and simplicity."

"Mother Concubine is truly a kind person, this princess consort will definitely learn well from Mother Concubine."

Feng Lingxi's words were incredibly sincere. Following Zhao MaMa to Xiu Xin Yuan, she observed the garden's decor: elegant and minimalist. The garden was filled with tea flowers, and its quiet paths were paved with pebbles.

"Grandmother Zhao, why is most of the Xiushen Garden paved with pebbles"

"Your Majesty, these are the Old Madam's orders." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhao Mama brought her to the Old Madam's residence. It was already dawn, and from afar, Feng Lingxi could hear the sound of wooden fish being struck.

"The Dowager Empress is in the Buddhist hall, please wait here for a while, Your Highness. You may pay your respects after the Dowager Empress has finished her prayers."

Grandma Zhao glanced at her and went into the Buddhist hall.

Feng Lingxi swept across the room, and there wasn't a single chair inside. There was only a cushion, with a painting hanging above it.

He guarded her with every intention, and in that hour's wait, she stood until her legs went numb. Watching the incessant sound of the wooden fish, Feng Lingxi looked at the cushion and walked over wanting to sit for a while, when she heard Cheng Xin speak up to stop her.

"Your Majesty, that cushion can only be used by the Dowager Empress."

Feng Lingxi returned to her original spot and looked at the position of the Buddhist hall, "Mother concubine, how long does it usually take to pay respects to Buddha"

"Your Highness, it will take another half hour."

Feng Lingxi waited for another half hour, her legs aching from standing. Finally, the sound of the wooden fish stopped. Feng Lingxi saw Zhao MaMa supporting a noblewoman out. She was dressed simply and looked to be in her thirties. She was a beautiful woman, but her complexion was slightly pale.

"Old Madam, this is the Fourth Princess, Feng Lingxi, the legitimate daughter of General Feng's Residence."

Grandmother Zhao introduced, Feng Lingxi performed a curtsy, “Daughter-in-law Feng Lingxi greets her mother-in-law.”

The Old Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Feng Lingxi, her gaze lingering on her plain attire. She raised an eyebrow slightly, "What are you wearing Has the Prince's residence run out of clothes for you"

"Not pleased," said Feng Lingxi, her voice tinged with a hint of reproach. This left Lingxi feeling confused and uncertain.

Her son is dead, isn't it normal for her to wear plain clothes

"Greetings, Mother Empress. This is my humble suggestion as your daughter-in-law. The King has only just passed his seventh day..."

"Damn it!"

The Old Madam Empress yelled angrily, slapping Feng Lingxi's face and scolding her, "Who told you that Cheng'er died He only disappeared! You dress like this, do you want Cheng'er never to come back"

Feng Lingxi endured a slap forcefully, the flames of anger surging within her.

Everyone said the Fourth Lord was dead, how could she know the truth

"Grandmother Zhao, take her away and curse the Prince. Lock me up and don't let her eat for three days."

The Old Matriarch punished Feng Ling Xi harshly. She was slapped and received further punishments, anger rising within her as she looked at the Old Matriarch.

"Mother Empress, my daughter-in-law has something to say. The Emperor bestowed the marriage but did not specify whether the Fourth Prince was alive or dead. Outsiders say that the Fourth Prince is no longer among us. I am dressed in plain clothes. Even if I enter the palace to meet the Emperor, it would be acceptable. Why wouldn't it be appropriate to wear them at home"

"How dare you speak to me like that! Zhao mama, slap her! What has this Feng Aotitian taught To discipline me!"

Zhao MaMa stepped forward, raising her hand to slap Feng LingXi. Just as the slap was about to land, Feng LingXi grabbed her wrist. No matter how hard Zhao MaMa struggled, she couldn't break free. The old princess watched Feng LingXi's actions and became even angrier.

"Your Highness, what do you mean This old servant was only following orders."

Feng Lingxi looked at the furious expression of the Empress Dowager and said coldly, "Mother Consort, if you think I am an unqualified daughter-in-law, why don't you let the Emperor judge And by the way, divorce me. The Emperor bestowed marriage was to have me marry into the Fourth Prince's Residence for auspiciousness, so Mother Consort's actions are better than directly divorcing me."

"You brazen woman, do you know who you're speaking to"

The old matriarch glared at her, fury practically burning from her eyes.

Everyone says Feng's eldest daughter is a foolish airhead. She didn't agree to this marriage in the first place. Her son-in-law, Cheng, is so outstanding. If it weren't for a rush wedding, a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, how could she have agreed to this woman marrying into the manor as Cheng's wife

“As my daughter-in-law has just recovered from a serious illness, she's very clear now that she is speaking to her mother-in-law. Mother-in-law, your health isn't good. Getting angry will cause your chest to feel blocked, making it difficult to breathe. There will also be a suffocating pain in your chest area. For the sake of your health, please don't get angry with your daughter-in-law. Don't harm yourself.”

Feng Lingxi saw through her illness at a glance. The usually angry old Princess was somewhat confused, as she had clearly understood her condition.

"How do you know I have these ailments"

Feng Lingxi said, unfazed by the slap, “Although my mother-in-law’s slap was forceful just now, her strength was insufficient. I could tell that she wasn’t putting all her heart into it. Moreover, my mother-in-law’s complexion was not good, her face pale, and she seemed to be plagued by illness. If I’m not mistaken, every time the weather changes, her condition worsens. After winter arrives, she will also have coughing fits.”

"You..."

The old Princess listened to what she said, and it was all completely accurate.

"Do you know medicine"

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, “Mother Empress, I understand a little bit.”

"Then what could you possibly heal"

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhao Mama, and the old princess hurriedly waved her hand. Zhao Mama retreated, and Feng Lingxi then said, "My daughter-in-law needs to feel the pulse of my mother concubine and carefully examine her body before prescribing the right medicine. What I just said is what my daughter-in-law saw with her own eyes, and she needs to confirm it before speaking."

Zhao Mam knew the Old Madam Wang's expression, so she quickly reminded her, "Old Madam, your illness even the imperial physicians can't cure. The Princess is so young, could it be that her medical skills are better than the imperial physicians"

"Grandmother Zhao, why does it seem like you don't want my mother to recover Since I can tell what's wrong with her, perhaps I can cure her illness. Grandmother Zhao, by stopping me, I start to suspect your true intentions."ingxi, his eyes full of joy. He thought he had seen wrong, but unexpectedly, it really was her.Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, her eyes showing neither shock nor joy. She just stared at him, their ga...
