inds it rather strange."The Empress Dowager frowned, "Logically speaking, my lady should have chased her away. Cheng'er would have definitely followed after her. But even after waking up, Cheng'er did..."I've been pretty busy lately."
Feng Lingxi walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water. Being watched by Dugu Cheng made her feel comfortable all over. It was broad daylight, so he probably wasn't thinking about anything too much.
"Well, you're so busy you even forgot you have a husband."
"Oh no, I've always known that I have a husband." Feng Lingxi nervously took a sip of water. She had truly forgotten how long it had been since she served Dugu Cheng. Ever since she came back, with so many things happening, she had truly neglected him.
Dugu City suddenly grabbed her hand and snatched her cup.
"What are you panicking about"
Feng Lingxi raised her eyes, abruptly withdrew her hand, and gave an awkward smile.
"Don't panic, I have nothing to panic about."
Even under the bright blue sky, Dugu City couldn't possibly harm her.
Dugu City was amused by her flustered eyes.
“I’m sleepy, why don’t you let this king take a nap, Xi’er” The soft voice reached Feng Lingxi’s ear, sweet and mellow. This voice was really nice to hear. Dugu Cheng leaned forward, and Feng Lingxi's body instinctively shivered, rising to meet him.
"You're all grown up now, why do you still need me to tuck you in You're not Wan'er, who used to sleep with me. I'll go get you something to eat and help you recover."
Feng Lingxi flung open the door and rushed out in a flash, her heart pounding wildly. She caught her breath frantically, almost fainting from fear.
How come this Dugu City acts like a child today He's so strange and unserious.
Dugu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi flee in a panic, his brows furrowed slightly, the corners of his lips curving upwards.
This woman, it seems she's gotten carried away with herself, she's probably forgotten about her husband altogether.
"Your Highness."
Ye Xi called out, watching the queen's panicked expression with worry etched on his face.
"Is something the matter, Your Highness Why are you so flustered"
"It's nothing, I'll go to the kitchen and make something for your lord."
Feng Lingxi chuckled twice, then fled in disgrace. He was clearly guilty of something.
"This this this, prepare more of these for the Empress."
Feng Lingxi heard the voice of Tai Fei Shu and walked into the kitchen with a frown, watching Tai Fei Shu directing the cooks, completely bewildered.
"Mother, how did you come to the kitchen"
“I’m going to have them prepare a late dinner for them. Cheng'er has lost weight, so we need to make something nourishing for him.”
Shutai's face, naturally, wouldn't lose to Feng Lingxi.
Her son, of course, should be treated well.
"Well then, I don't have to prepare."
The Empress Dowager glanced at her, "I'm taking care of my health. You go busy yourself, I can handle this myself here."
Feng Lingxi responded and looked at the cooks in the kitchen. "You just listen to Shutai Fei, let her prepare meals for the Prince."
"Yes."
Most of the chefs were Yao people. When Feng Lingxi spoke, they naturally obeyed her. Shutai chose the dishes and also had them buy some medicinal herbs, saying that they were to replenish the body of the Lord and Lady. Anyway, it was just tonic for the body, so the chefs went along with her wishes.
Dinner, a large table of delicious delicacies, can be described as extremely abundant.
Upon waking, Duke Gucheng was in high spirits. It was rare for the whole family to have a meal together, and Taifei Shu didn't make things difficult for Feng Lingxi. Although her attitude wasn't particularly kind, she didn't give her any trouble either.
"Er'er, this is the soup that your mother has stewed for you. Drink more of it."
Shutai bestowed a bowl of nourishing soup upon Dugu Cheng, and she also served Feng Lingxi a generous portion. Such preferential treatment left Feng Lingxi feeling overwhelmed with surprise and gratitude.
"Thank you, Mother."
Feng Lingxi received it and quickly handed the chicken leg to Wan'er. Shu Taifei's chopsticks came down.
This soup is for you to replenish your body, children can't eat it.
Feng Lingxi unconsciously looked at the soup in the bowl, sniffed it, and sure enough, it was a tonic. This energetic man ate this, who knows how he would be tonight This imperial concubine really cared about her.
"How is it, Your Majesty, that you don't wish to drink the soup I have stewed"
Wind howled, she shook her head, bowed her head and sipped soup, her heart heavy with gloom.
She's in good health, but this soup isn't so good.
He drank it down with a grimace, hoping he wouldn't have too rough of a night.
"Cheng'er, drink two more bowls. You've worked hard this past while, you need to make up for it."
"Thank you, Mother."
Dugu Cheng didn't doubt it. Empress Shu rarely treated him so kindly, accompanying him for a meal was naturally something he would comply with, acting like an obedient son.
Shu Taifei passed a chicken leg to Wan'er.
"If you like eating chicken legs, eat these. Children should not eat the chicken legs from the medicinal soup."
Wan'er looked at the drumstick in her bowl, then at her mother's. Without hesitation, she ate the drumstick in her own bowl because it smelled delicious. She didn't like the medicinal smell coming from her mother's bowl.
"This little girl will be sleeping with me tonight. I heard she used to sleep with me before, right"
Feng Lingxi looked at Shu Taifei in surprise. This was clearly an attempt to take away Wan'er, making it easier for Dugucheng to do things.
Is Empress Shu not fond of her
How do you create opportunities for them
"Wǎn'er wants to sleep with Mother."
As soon as Wan'er finished speaking, Shu Taifei spoke up, reprimanding her, "No way! If you sleep with her, when will your mother be able to give birth to a younger brother"
Feng Lingxi was choked by Shutai's words, coughing violently. Dugu City hurriedly patted her back to help her breathe. After catching her breath, Feng Lingxi looked at Shutai’s displeasure in her eyes, then at Wan'er, “Wan'er, if you want to sleep with your mother, go ahead and sleep with her.”
"Mom, will I have a little brother if I don't sleep with you"
Of course, you sleep with me, and I guarantee you'll have a younger brother soon.
Shu Taifei answered quickly, Wan'er had a face full of excitement, Feng Lingxi wanted to explain, but didn't know how to interject. Looking at Wan'er's excited expression, it seemed like she really wanted a younger brother.
But this child, isn't something she could just have.
"You don't like me, I won't sleep with you."
Wan'er looked at Shu Taifei, her rosy little mouth pouted, looking at the Fourteenth beside her.
"You sleep with me, I like you."
Upon hearing the young master's words, she smiled and replied, "This subordinate obeys."
Suit yourself.
The imperial concubine Shu was relaxed and carefree, just didn't like this girl. Since she recognized Feng Lingxi as her daughter-in-law, she had to let her give birth to a grandson for her, otherwise, how could she bear such humiliation
After dinner, Feng Lingxi walked in the garden with Wan'er in her arms. Seeing Wan'er's excited expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want a younger brother so much"
"Yes."
Feng Ling sighed, taking a deep breath. Being pregnant with twins wasn't something she was looking forward to.
But now the imperial consort seems to be fixated on her belly, wanting her to give birth to a grandson.
Feng Lingxi had a terrible headache. There were still many things that needed to be resolved, but now, she couldn't even think about getting pregnant and having a baby.
"My Lord, your humble servant will protect you well. Please rest assured."
Feng Lingxi nodded, watching Wan'er and Fourteenth's intimate gestures. This girl seemed to be able to play with anyone.
That year when she was ten, Qiu'er didn't know what it meant. What could Wan'er possibly bring to the Yao clan
At this thought, Feng Ling Xi's heart became even more chaotic.
"Fourteen, I'm going to take a bath."
Wan'er pulled on Fourteenth's sleeve and coquettishly said, "Fourteenth took her hand and said, “Come, I’ll take you to bathe.”
"Fourteen, can you teach me martial arts"have pinched the arm of Princess Chen""You didn't succeed, but you did try."Feng Lingxi looked down at the kneeling grandmother, “I apologized to Liu Fei first, you acted afterwards.”"Come here, drag...
