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..."Ye Xi, this king is hosting a banquet today. Will you attend or not"

Ye Xi quickly regained her composure. "Thank you, Your Highness. I will obey your orders."

A message Could it be from Xiaoli

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng looked at each other. "Bring Big Brother along, since you're treating us, be generous and bring Tao Su too. He came here with me, and you haven't even treated him to a meal."

"Just listen to Du'er." As long as it doesn't turn into a love rival, having a meal isn't a big deal.

The Lord of the Dugu City took Feng Lingxi out, having someone inform Lu Nian and the others, then he took Feng Lingxi shopping, eating at Tianxiang Building. Ye Xi and Ying Ba followed behind them. Ye Xi had something on her mind and was expressionless throughout. Ying Ba, however, kept a close eye on Feng Lingxi, staying by her side the whole time.

“Dugu City, you said if Xiao Li saw us shopping so openly like this, she would definitely say that I’m wasting time and that I don’t want to go back to Yaozu with her.” Feng Lingxi spoke, buying a string of candied haws while walking and eating, her mouth already muttering, it’s rare to come out shopping, she can’t buy nothing.

"So, you mean you want to go to the Yao tribe"

Dugu Cheng followed behind her. Feng Lingxi picked out things, and he paid. The two of them shopping together looked just like a newly married couple. The doting look in Dugu Cheng's eyes made people watching envious.

The news of the two getting back together had always been a hot topic in town. Now, seeing them shopping together again, still so sweet, it quickly spread. This time, even if the Empress knew, she could only hold it in and couldn't do anything to Feng Lingxi.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that sooner or later they’re going to take me away.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Du Gucheng, smiled, and said, "When the time comes, you are not allowed to go there rashly."

"Okay," Dugu Cheng nodded. "You decide, whatever you say goes."

"Too honest, you can't even say you'd risk going to the Yao tribe to save me." Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes but burst into laughter. "But if you really did that, I'd be furious."

"And how would you have me answer you"

Dugu Cheng gave Feng Lingxi the money, “No matter what, you won’t be satisfied.”

"That's right, this life of ours, no matter what you do, it's hard to please everyone. So sometimes, being a human means just doing what you want. If everything could be arranged perfectly, then it wouldn't be called life."

Feng Lingxi shoved the candied gourd into Dugu City's hands, "Come on, let's go to Tianxiang Building. The fish should be biting soon."

"Mischievous."

獨孤城輕點風淩曦的鼻尖，這好不容易出來吃個飯也被人監視著，這滋味的確很不好，不過，也冇有辦法，為了見上一麵，隻能如此。

Yingba stepped forward and leaned in Feng Lingxi's ear, "Your Highness, everyone has left."

"Let's go eat."

Feng Ling Xi hooked her lips, shoving the bought things into Ying Ba's hands, "Take it, it's all for you."

Shadow Eight looked at the jewelry and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I don't need this."

Why not

Feng Lingxi looked at Yingba's flustered eyes and comforted, "Then you keep it first, just as if you are holding it for me."

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi knew that Yingba's reaction was because of her face. These ornaments weren't particularly valuable, but they were the kind of styles that girls liked. She had intended to give them to Yingba to change up her appearance, but it seemed like she would need to explain things to Yingba when they returned.

As soon as the group arrived at Tianxiang Lou, they saw Lu Nian and Tao Su were already waiting inside a private room. When they saw the four of them slowly walking over, Lu Nian rolled her eyes and said, "You said you'd treat us to a meal, but now you're just leisurely showing up. Is it this fun to be treated like a pet on the streets of the capital"

"Is big brother jealous"

Feng Lingxi smiled and sat down, watching Tao Su stare at her, and greeted with a smile, "Tao Su, during this time following him, has he bullied you"

"Brother Lu treats me very well, Xiaofeng rest assured."

Listening to Tao Su's address to Feng Ling Xi, Dugu City felt a bit uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say. After all, it was Xi Er who asked him to call her that. However, Dugu City did notice that Tao Su's gaze towards Xi Er had changed, but Dugu City remained silent. As long as he didn't cross the line, there were plenty of men who admired Xi Er. As long as he didn't overstep his bounds, he would pretend not to know.

"That's great. I've been busy lately and haven't had time to sit down and chat with you, but this meal is on Dugu City. Enjoy it."

Feng Lingxi smiled, seeing Tao Su smile made her feel better too. Tao Su had followed her here and never complained. Seeing him now living a fulfilling life, she was content.

"Now he should be called Regent."

Tao Su bowed to Duke Gucheng and thanked him, “Congratulations to the Regent King and Xiaofeng on getting back together. I hope that the Regent King will treat Xiaofeng well and not let her suffer any grievances.”

Feng Ling's smile gradually faded from her face. How could Tao Su say these things at this time Looking into his pleading eyes, Feng Ling felt a pang of unease in her heart. Tao Su didn't need to be like this.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tao, this king will treat his woman well. I apologize for the past, but it won't happen again."

獨孤城 raised his wine cup and clinked it with Tao Su's. The two locked eyes, drained their cups in one gulp, and the meaning in their gaze was understood only by themselves.

"You're having such a lively gathering and didn't even invite us! Aren't you going to treat us"

Luo Li arrived with Li Wu Yan. The two of them sat down in their usual spots, as if they were returning home, natural and at ease.

"It seems you've arrived quite punctually. However, it remains to be seen if our esteemed guest will grace us with their presence."

Dugu City smiled and greeted Luoli, pouring him a glass of wine.

She's been eating and living here these days. The Regent wouldn't be unaware of this, but she wouldn't come here. I just saw her and got scolded. Luoli looked at Ye Xi who was standing behind Feng Lingxi, "Don't have too much hope."

Ye Xi's body stiffened, clenched her fist, and remained silent.

She scolded me severely today, too, and threatened me.

Wind Ling looked at Luoli, smiling and saying, "You look more like a chieftain."

"You think she treats me better than you do"

Luo Li furrowed her brows, feigning seriousness and said, "Actually, if I hadn't come today, you wouldn't have wanted to find me, would you"

"I have a favor to ask you."

Feng Lingxi instantly changed her attitude, looking at Luoli with sincerity in her eyes, "Seriously, help me."

"Said."

Luoli's tone carried a hint of impatience, but she waited for Feng Lingxi to speak.

“I want you to set up a private meeting with Xiaoli. I know that besides you, no one can help me with this.”

"It's impossible, if she goes out alone, she'll be in danger. Xiaoli is now on a mission, but she's also being watched. If you want what's best for her, then patiently wait. There's no other way."

Ye Xi clenched his fists, it turned out that Xia Li's current situation was so difficult, and he couldn't help her.hook her head."No, you should call me sister-in-law, I'll call you my sibling. It's important to keep our familial ranks straight."Feng Lingxi didn't know how to respond. If she truly called her siste...
