or inquire, I wouldn’t be able to bear the guilt, My Lady. I kneel before you. This time, it was my fault. I dare not do so again.”Feng Ling Xi only heard a thump, her eyes opened, and she saw Liu Ma...Seeing Feng Lingxi and the Fourth Prince so affectionate, Hao Qingqing's face turned green with envy. Her clenched fist had her nails digging into her flesh, jealousy burning like fire.

"Miss Qingqing, the Wangye said that if you truly like him, why not just bless me with him."

Feng Lingxi, coerced by his pressure, reluctantly opened her mouth. She waited for him to let go and see how she would deal with him.

Hào Qīngqīng's face grew increasingly ugly as she pointed at Fēng Língxī, "Fēng Língxī, the king hasn't spoken yet, why are you pointing fingers here"

"Presumptuous!"

Dugu Cheng roared angrily, Hao Qingqing was startled by his roar and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Fourth Prince, I...I..."

"Prime Minister, this is the good daughter you raised, directly addressing My Concubine by name Such a transgression deserves punishment. "

Seeing the Chancellor approaching, Dugu City angrily rebuked him. The Chancellor's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly walked to Dugu City's face and knelt down, "Fourth Prince, please forgive me. It was my daughter who was unruly. I will have her return immediately."

Saying this, Minister Hao hurriedly ordered his wife to take Hao Qingqing away and apologized profusely.

"Fourth Lord, a young man rashly bumped into the Fourth Lady. I beg you, Your Lordship, to not hold this against him and show mercy to Qingqing."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "My beloved wife, even He Xiang has pleaded for mercy. Why not give him some face and spare Hao Qingqing this once"

Feng Lingxi shuddered as he heard him calling her "my beloved" over and over again. This man was truly disgusting! He blamed Hao Qingqing, whom she had scolded herself, for this situation. Did he think her life was too easy

"Chancellor Hao, Miss Qingqing is young. I don't blame her."

Just as Prime Minister Hao was about to speak, Duke Gucheng said, "My beloved wife, aren't you just past your coming-of-age ceremony If we were to be precise, this Hao Qingqing is actually older than you."

Feng Lingxi, hearing his words, the anger she had barely suppressed surged up again. He was deliberately doing this! She didn't want to dwell on it anymore. Was she, the Fourth Princess Consort, not eye-catching enough

"Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you today This palace feels like you're deliberately making things difficult for Fourth Princess"

Dugu Yan walked over, a smile playing on his handsome face. He seemed to enjoy the commotion and joined in, making Feng Lingxi even more furious.

One is bad enough, now there's another one. Doesn't she have a right to live

Today at the banquet, she didn't know how much hatred she had incurred. Looking at those official ladies' envious eyes, Feng Lingxi really wanted to leave.

Dugu Cheng embraced Feng Ling Xi in his arms, leaning down as if to kiss her. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his waist. His face stiffened slightly, and he heard Feng Ling Xi's soft warning in his ear, "Try me again"

Whoever has had enough, he's had his fun, so get lost.

She came here for the banquet to give him face. Don't really think she can't live without him, or that she treasures this position of Fourth Princess Consort.

Dugu Cheng's lips curled into a slight smile, and he let her go.

"Your Highness, how could you possibly know that I and my consort were not just play-fighting" He finished with a smile and asked Feng Lingxi, "My love, why don't you tell His Highness, was it a playful argument or did your Majesty make things difficult for you"

Dugu Yan walked to Feng Lingxi's face, "Xi'er, tell me the truth."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and looked at Dugu Yan, "I wonder what the Crown Prince wants me to say"

"Xier..."

Dugu Yan cried out anxiously, Feng Lingxi was pulled behind by Dugu Cheng, "Your Highness, you call my woman directly like this, this prince will be jealous."

獨孤雁 looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes full of confusion. Was there something bothering Xi'er, or had she really changed her heart

But she wasn't like that before.

The Emperor has arrived!

As the Emperor’s father-in-law loudly announced, Dugu Yan quickly withdrew her expression and hurried to greet the Emperor.

Feng Lingxi followed Dugu City to greet the crowd, ignoring the gazes of those around her. All she wanted now was to end this banquet quickly and not stay here any longer.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Wind Lingxi followed the other officials to kneel, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the emperor on the throne and the noblewoman beside him. When she saw it was her mother concubine, she was a little surprised, but quickly lowered her head so that her mother concubine wouldn't see her emotions.

"Rise everyone, today I am hosting a welcome feast for the Fourth Prince. All of you are welcome to join."

The Emperor spoke, and all the officials took their seats. Feng Lingxi sat beside Dugu City, looking at the pastries and delicacies on the table with no appetite whatsoever.

"My dear son, your success in this bandit suppression is commendable. I shall reward you handsomely."

Dugu Cheng walked forward and knelt down.

"Father, these are all things your son should do. If you truly wish to bestow a reward upon me, perhaps you could give it to your son's wife instead."

Feng Ling Xi heard this from Dugu Cheng, her face slightly changed. He was actually going to give this reward to her What did he mean by this

"Fourth Princess."

The emperor shouted, and Feng Lingxi hurriedly came to her senses. She got up and walked to Dugu City's side and knelt down, "Daughter-in-law greets Your Majesty."

The old matriarch was very fond of Feng Lingxi's attire.

"Your Majesty, I have given the bracelet you gave me to Xi'er. I really like this daughter-in-law."

The Empress Dowager's words surprised the Emperor, who immediately chuckled and said, "General Feng, look at your well-raised daughter. She has made Consort Shu so satisfied. It seems my son has good taste."

"Thank you, Father Emperor, for your praise."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly thanked him. General Feng also stepped forward and kowtowed, thanking the emperor's grace. Feng Lingxi listened to their words, her heart filled with even more confusion.

To say that Duke Gucheng has a good eye for people, this marriage wasn't arranged by the Emperor, was it

Why is this said to be the good vision of Dugu City

"Feng Ling Xi, what would you like me to bestow upon you"

The Emperor spoke, and Feng Ling Xi came back to her senses. Quickly, she replied, "My daughter-in-law doesn't need any rewards."

Why is this Dugu City pretending to like her so much in front of everyone And giving her all the imperial gifts he received

"Father, perhaps we could keep this gift for now and let her ask for it when she desires it. What do you think"

Dugong City looked at Feng Lingxi with doting eyes. That look of doting made Feng Lingxi's goosebumps stand up all over, this guy, what was he trying to do

"Ready!"

Dugu Cheng hurriedly pulled Feng Lingxi over to thank her and brought her back to their seat.

"Dugu City, what tricks are you playing"

Hearing her call his name directly, Dugu City's mouth twitched slightly upward. This was more like the Feng Lingxi he knew. Not only that, she was quite cute this way.

"My beloved, what do you mean by that Naturally, I want to be good to you. After all, you're the one who was not afraid of being a widow and willing to marry me. Your love for me runs deep, and I am deeply touched. I want to treat you well, is there anything wrong with that"

"I believed your evil, you would be so kind"easure Won't she cause trouble""Nanny Liu, unconcernedly asked, 'These days, I've been teaching her etiquette, and she seems to be doing well. I can't see anything amiss. Her behavior and mannerisms d...
