like him, Night Xi isn't bad either."Xiao Li pouted, "No way, I won't get married. Besides, once she gets married, who will protect the Princess"The people of Dugu City, you married him, not to stay b...No matter whether Dugu City left or not, the Old Madam pulled Feng Lingxi and asked, "Xier, has City bullied you these two days"

Dugu Cheng looked at his mother and explained, "Mother, how could I possibly wrong her…"

"Why are you still here Your father is waiting. Besides, your mother and Xi'er are talking, it's not addressed to you, so why are you butting in"

Dugu Cheng, who had been scorned by his mother, glanced at Feng Lingxi before leaving with a helpless expression.

"Mother Empress, the Prince has never mistreated his concubine."

As soon as Feng Lingxi spoke, the old Princess Dowager grabbed her hand and said disapprovingly, “Xi’er, do you think you can hide it from your mother This palace knows about Liu Ma’s affair.”

Wind Lingxi hurriedly got up and knelt down, "Mother concubine, please forgive your daughter-in-law..."

The old Empress hurriedly helped her up, "Get up quickly, what are you doing This empress didn't blame you. I even want to praise you. You did a good job. This Liu mammy has been with this empress for a long time and has forgotten her identity. The nonsense she said indeed deserves a severe lesson. Since you are the princess of Cheng'er and also the daughter-in-law that this palace recognizes, how could she dare to speak ill of you This palace asked her to serve you, but she wants you to serve her instead. It's really outrageous."

Feng Lingxi looked at her mother concubine. Although the old Princess Dowager said that Liu Mama was wrong, she knew it wasn't entirely true. After all, Liu Mama was also her mother concubine's person. What Liu Mama said to her must have reached her mother concubine's ears. Otherwise, her mother concubine wouldn't know.

"Mother Consort, regarding Liu Ma Ma's matter, I do admit there are some things that need to be addressed. I will handle it with discretion in the future."

Seeing that she had spoken up, the Dowager Empress didn't want to continue this discussion any further.

"Xier, your mother knows that you don't have feelings for Cheng'er. However, you two are already husband and wife, and you have gone through the ceremony of marriage. Don't even think about leaving the Fourth Prince's Residence. Your mother is straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush. Your mother hopes that you will sincerely treat Cheng'er and give up those thoughts."

"Mother, I…"

Feng Lingxi met her mother's smile, but she couldn't bring herself to smile back. How did her mother know everything

The Dowager Empress smiled kindly. "Do you really think your mother doesn't know anything Young people, it's good to have ideas, but if you meet the right person, you shouldn't miss them. This child Cheng'er was raised by me, his temperament is like this, on the surface he looks carefree, but in fact he is very thoughtful, and he keeps himself clean. Your mother dares say that letting you be with him, will never wrong you."

This kind of boastfulness about her son, she truly lives up to the reputation of being Dugu City's esteemed mother concubine. Both mother and son possess such confidence.

"My Empress dowager is right, my daughter-in-law will think it through."

"Very well, your mother knows it's not easy for you. But remember, you are now the Fourth Princess Consort and mistress of the Fourth Prince's Manor. Don't learn from those women who allow their husbands to take concubines and suffer humiliation. You can bear children, so why let other women steal your husband Listen to your mother, hold onto your man firmly, and live a good life."

"Mother, is that really what you think"

This idea, even for people in her time, might not have been common. Coming from her mother's mouth, Feng Lingxi was truly impressed.

"Didn't your mother tell you the truth Your mother is someone who has experienced life, she knows that all kinds of lives are grasped by yourself."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "Thank you, Mother, for your teachings."

"Would you like to go see the Yu Garden"

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at her mother's attitude towards her. She had to admit, her mother felt more kind than Zhang shi.

"Have your maidservant accompany you for a walk, Mother Concubine will have Zhao MaMa attend to you." Let me know if you need anything else translated!

Feng Lingxi originally thought she was going out with her mother concubine, but unexpectedly, she was only allowed to go for a walk. There are many concubines in the palace, and if they were to be seen together, there would be trouble again.

“Mother, how about your daughter-in-law stays here with you for now Today, besides me and the Wangye, there's also Princess Zhaoran entering the palace. There are many rules in the palace, plus the imperial concubines... your daughter-in-law is afraid she doesn't understand the rules and will cause trouble, bringing trouble to Mother.”

The Old Matriarch heard her words and frowned.

"Even Princess Zhao Ran is coming" Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, watching her mother's furrowed brow. "Mother doesn't know"

"It seems your father truly wants Princess Zhaoran to marry the Crown Prince."

"The Wangye also said this, is Mother worried that Princess Zhaoran will marry the Crown Prince"

Feng Lingxi asked out the confusion in her heart, but then she felt it was inappropriate. This matter didn't seem like something she should ask.

The Dowager Empress smiled, "I'm quite pleased that Princess Zhaoran is marrying the Crown Prince. As long as she doesn't marry my son, I have no objections to whomever else she chooses."

Wind Ling Xi watched her mother's transformation, she thought her mother didn't approve of the Crown Prince and Zhao Ran County Lord, but from this, it could be seen that Zhao Ran County Lord had some feelings for Du Gu Cheng.

"Xier, this Zhao Ran County is mainly vying for the city with you. You won't give up your position as princess, will you"

As expected, whatever she wished for, it would come true. Asking her this question would only lead to disappointment if she agreed.

If Lady Zhao of the Zhaoyang County were to speak, as my humble self, a daughter-in-law from the General's Manor, would surely be unable to compete with her. As for past matters, I certainly wouldn't stand a chance against her.

"Mother believes that if you are willing, you will surely be able to win her."

The Dowager Empress patted her shoulder, "Don't disappoint your mother."

Feng Lingxi seeing that the conversation had reached this point, could only grit her teeth and nod. It seemed like dinner tonight wouldn't be going smoothly.

"Come, let's take a walk with mother."

Feng Lingxi followed her mother concubine, walking towards the imperial garden. Along the way, the old princess told her about the palace rules, the other noble consorts in the palace, who to be wary of, and what to say when seeing the empress. Feng Lingxi listened attentively, which could be considered as a crash course.

"Princess Zhaoran, please take your time."

Feng Lingxi was listening intently when she suddenly heard a panicked palace maid's voice in her ear. Her body was jostled, and luckily Xiao Li held her steady or else she would have been knocked over.

"Zhao Ran County Princess."

The maids behind her hurriedly supported Princess Zhao Ran, and shouted at Feng Ling Xi loudly, "How do you walk like that, don't you see our princess..."

"Presumptuous! Lady Shu is here, and you dare to shout like this Guards, slap her!"

Feng Ling's maid, Zhao Mama, rebuked her sharply. Hearing the Empress Dowager Shu and Princess Zhaoran, along with the court ladies, their faces changed drastically and they bowed hurriedly. "Zhaoran pays respects to Her Imperial Highness, Empress Dowager Shu."

The old Princess Consort glanced at Princess Zhaoran, "Princess Zhaoran, you seem so anxious. Where are you headed in such a hurry"

After paying her respects, Princess Zhaoran smiled sweetly at Consort Shu, "Zhaoran heard that Brother Cheng came to the palace, so I wanted to go find him to play."

City Brother Could it be Dugu City It seems that the noble lady of Zhao'an County and Dugu City have known each other for a long time.

The princess wants to find the young master, this even in the palace needs to be watched, bumping into someone wouldn't be good.

Princess Zhaoran glanced at Feng Lingxi, then apologized with a single word before turning away.

"Your Majesty, do you know where Chengge is"

"Miss, if you want to know where the young master is, then you should properly apologize to the wife of your young master first."

"The princess of Chengge"

It was only then that Princess Zhao glanced at Feng Lingxi, “You are the foolish fourth young lady from General's Mansion”ipped a beat. Could it be such a coincidence, that Luoli was deceiving herBut Xiaoli also confirmed what Luoli said. With the surrounding countries of the Aohua Dynasty starting to resist people from...
