held his teacup and took a slow sip. He opened his mouth, his handsome eyes betraying neither joy nor anger, the fury of the storm before him dissipating somewhat in an instant.What was he trying to...Feng Yu Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold in the twilight, "This is rather unexpected."
It seems that the Empress Dowager wants to win over the Yu Prince's Mansion. Now that Father is in trouble, she's going to abandon her and Feng Linglong.
Linxi County
Huangfu Qingyun received a notice from Dugucheng to come to Xixian County to welcome Feng Lingxi back to Huangxia Dynasty. He thought there would be some explanations, but unexpectedly, Feng Lingxi packed up and followed him back to Huangxia Dynasty directly. Yao Wan'ying stayed in Xixian County for a few days to recuperate from her injuries and returned to Dayuan Dynasty with Dugucheng.
Upon returning to the Yao Mansion in the era of Emperor Huaxia, Feng Lingxi was bestowed with the title of Princess Yaohua.
Upon learning that his father had bestowed upon Xier Yao Hua the title of princess, Huang Fu Qingyun gave a bitter smile but remained silent.
For several days in a row, he didn't appear until Feng Lingxi was about to set off for Dayuan Dynasty.
"Xier, did you already know about my decree to bestow upon you the title of Princess Yaohua"
Huangpu Qingyun sat opposite her. Seeing Feng Lingxi nod, he picked up his tea and took a sip, his expression stiffening slightly, but he was doing his best to hide the bitterness in his heart. He knew he had no chance, but he still couldn't accept it. The woman he loved became his sister, it happened too suddenly, he wasn't prepared at all.
"When you and Dugu City went to attack the Kingdom of Gallo, your father bestowed upon you a title. According to your status, I should address you as Your Highness from now on."
Feng Lingxi looked at Huangfu Qingyun's strained smile and continued, "My marriage with Dugu Cheng has long been arranged. This marriage was your father's idea. Firstly, it is to clear my name of the accusation that I poisoned the previous emperor. Secondly, it is to appease the Empress Dowager's anger."
"Father Emperor isn't afraid of Empress Dowager Cen, he just wants to help you."
Huangfu Qingyun pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Well, it seems we are destined to have no fate. Since you have bestowed upon Yao Hua Princess now, from this day forward, you shall be my sister. I will dedicate my entire life to protecting you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Feng Lingxi rose and bowed gracefully towards Huangfu Qingyun, acknowledging him as her elder brother.
Huangfu Qingyun helped her up and, after calming his emotions, asked, "Xi'er, since you are going to the marriage alliance as Princess Yao Hua, have you thought about how to arrange your identity"
Princess Yao Hua, sixteen years of age, was the only daughter of the Emperor of the Arawak Dynasty. She excelled in martial arts and medicine, earning the title "Poison Doctor".
Feng Ling Xi finished reading, and Huang Fu Qing Yun frowned, "Xi'er, is this the Emperor's meaning or your own"
Martial arts and medicine, is he also known as a poison doctor
Is this not okay
A princess, with such an identity, is probably difficult to arrange.
Feng Lingxi smiled, “This is what your father meant. He said that I should act like a willful princess, fond of alchemy and pharmacology. A royal family naturally wouldn't keep a princess like me, and since Empress Cen dislikes Dugu City, and your father has decreed that I must marry him, Empress Cen will definitely agree.”
How could Empress Cenzhou possibly accept a willful and capricious poison-making princess into the imperial harem What if she poisons others there Wouldn't that turn the entire harem into chaos
"I guess you and Father have already made arrangements. I seem to have worried too much."
Huangfu Qingyun's eyes dimmed. He never imagined that one day, he would have to personally send her to Du Guluo City.
Feng Lingxi looked at his dejected eyes and comforted, "Your Highness, you will meet a kind girl."
Huangfu Qingyun got up and said, "Then you rest for a while. We'll set off tomorrow."
Looking at his departing back, Feng Lingxi didn't know what else she could say.
"I hope he meets a girl he likes."
"Your Highness, perhaps the Prince's marriage is not yet meant to be. Do not worry too much."
Xiao Li comforted, "The King has always been kind to the Queen. Although Huangfu Qingyun is good, it's too late."
Feng Ling xi nodded, "Go pack up, we should head back tomorrow."
Xiao Li responded and stepped back. Feng Ling Xi took out the box that Du Gu Cheng had given her when they left. She opened it and saw a cloth bag inside. Opening the bag, she saw rows of golden needles. Feng Ling Xi suddenly smiled, remembering how she used to prick him with embroidery needles back then, the smile in her eyes unconcealable.
Feng Lingxi put away the golden needles and looked at the note pressed at the bottom of the box. She opened it and read the contents, unconsciously looking at the spot by her bed. She got up and walked over.
Dugu Cheng said he put something on his bedside table and let her take it herself.
Looking at the box on her bedside table, Feng Lingxi opened it and picked up a special crossbow. Wasn't this the crossbow she had commissioned someone to build before
He actually still remembered and had someone make it for her.
With these, she could defend herself and protect herself, it would indeed be much more convenient.
"I didn't expect you to remember."
Feng Ling Xi smiled faintly, put things away, and then lay down.
The next day, the news that Feng Ling Xi Yao Hua princess was going to marry into the Great Yuan Dynasty spread throughout the entire Aoshu dynasty. When the people learned that the bestowed princess was getting married, they all came out to see her off. Huang Fu Qing Yun led the wedding procession, setting off in a grand manner towards the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Feng Lingxi sat in the carriage, Xiao Li accompanying her. Along the way, the two chatted and it took them half a month to reach the capital of Dayuan, where they rested at the inn.
Within the palace
Empress Dowager Cen and Dugu Yan discussed the matter of meeting with Princess Huaxiang, but both of them wore grim expressions.
Has there been any news from the Fourth Master yet
It's been half a month, and she has issued several imperial edicts. Dugu City still refuses to return to the capital. Now Feng Lingxi has been sent to Huangxia as a betrothal gift. If Dugu City doesn't show up, how can she get the Zi Xing from Feng Lingxi
Dugu Yan frowned, "Mother Empress, I issued the decree half a month ago, and even released news that Feng Lingxi would be coming with Princess Yaohua this time, yet I don't know why he hasn't returned to the capital until now."
"Could it be that he doesn't like Feng Lingxi anymore"
Empress Cen frowned, "This palace heard that he had gone to the Xia Dynasty to find Feng Lingxi before. Could it be that the news is wrong"
“Xiuer told me that Feng Lingxi went to Linxi County before and made tens of thousands of horses owned by Feng Aotien sick. Could it be that Dugu City already knows our purpose and is deliberately staying away, unwilling to marry the princess Yao Hua from the Huangxia Dynasty He might be waiting for a chance to save Feng Lingxi”
"I don't think it's possible."
"獨孤雁 raised an eyebrow, “Feng Lingxi was only in Lin Xi County for a few days before being taken back by the Crown Prince of Huang Xia Dynasty. Du Gucheng wouldn't ignore Feng Lingxi, it seems our terms need to be changed.”
"What did the emperor mean"
"As long as he agrees to marry Princess Yaohua, I will return Feng Lingxi to him."
"No, this Empress wants Feng Ling Xi's life. She will not be spared this time."
Empress Cen was furious, glaring at Dugu Yan. "Such a foolish plan! You actually came up with it."
“Mother, if we don't do this, Dugu City will absolutely not marry Princess Yao Hua. What do you want Do you want Princess Yao Hua to move into the inner palace Although she is a princess from a marriage alliance, she is going to marry the God of War. If we refuse, she might not give us Feng Lingxi.”e current situation, I would like to help you, but I'm afraid you won't listen.""When mother calms her anger, her son will strive diligently."Dugu Xiu's attitude of admitting his mistakes is very good...
