his own child, but..."Feng Lingxi watched the sadness in her mother's eyes. She didn't want her mother to be so distressed. Such a father, she really felt that her mother had been blind when she fel...For her, Dugu Yan wanted to strip her of her status. Now, Dugu Cheng treats her with such care and favor, even Dugu Xiu has taken an interest in Feng Lingxi. Such a beautiful woman is a danger to the world and should not be allowed to live.
"Fourth Wangye certainly dotes on his younger sister, but you two have been married for almost a year now, why are there still no signs of pregnancy Has Shutaifei not reprimanded the Fourth Miss"
"Mother has always doted on Xi'er, and of course I wouldn't want children this soon before even being pregnant. Does the Empress need to meddle in this too"
獨孤城反問，俊眉微挑，“更何況兮兒年紀還小，早孕生子對她身體不好，晚兩年生 também未嘗不可。” Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"She's not little anymore, almost seventeen."
"As a married woman, one should focus on giving birth to children for her husband's family and raising them well. If there are no children, it is proper to take concubines and ensure the continuation of the family line."
Dugu City coldly scanned the Zhao family, without replying to her.
"Having many descendants is a good thing, but with this concubine, her mother, and my fourth sister's personality, I'm afraid there won't be other women in the Fourth Prince's courtyard. Why even bring it up Remember how none of the original consorts survived"
Feng Lingxi listened to Feng Yu Xi's words, her expression was calm, without any anger.
This mother-daughter duo is singing in perfect harmony, are they deliberately picking a fight
After taking their seats in the front hall and being served tea, Feng Lingxi held her cup and sipped tea intently, not saying a word.
Feng Aotian flattered Feng Yuxi, saying a lot of things. Feng Yuxi answered them one by one, making Feng Aotian laugh from ear to ear. Zhao shi even praised Feng Yuxi to the heavens, showering her with flattery. Listening to all the praise felt like her ears were going to develop calluses.
"Xier, this trip back to the capital, do you have any intention of staying here for a long time"
Feng Aotian asked in a deep voice, his expression turning serious.
“Nowadays, the officials in the court are all in favor of having Father bestowed with the title of Generalissimo. Over these past few months, Father has quelled banditry and achieved military merit, so the Emperor has showered him with praise. However, there are still many who oppose this, finding it inappropriate. What do you and Fourth Prince think about this”
Feng Lingxi, upon hearing this, couldn't help but sneer.
He even had the nerve to ask her what she meant, what she meant Did he have no idea
Does one even need to say whether they are qualified to be the Grand Marshal of the Nation
"He's done great service in suppressing bandits. He deserves to be given the title of Generalissimo, guarding the State. I wonder what title His Majesty will bestow upon Dugu City"
Feng Ling Xi's words caused Feng Yu Xi's face to darken.
"Fourth Princess, your father told you this because you should understand his meaning. The matter of the Generalissimo is a glorious affair for the General's Mansion, and it cannot be treated lightly."
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotian. She truly couldn't see where he could withstand this title.
The ancestors of the Feng family, perhaps, but Feng Aotian, he truly doesn't have the qualifications.
"Your Majesty, are you implying that what I said was inappropriate Doesn't my service on the battlefield, quelling rebellions, and bringing peace to the borderlands deserve a title"
"Lord Fourth, please calm your anger. The Empress Dowager didn't mean any disrespect. Lord Fourth, you are the War God, this glory cannot be compared to the position of a mere General."
Feng Aotian opened his mouth, his expression serious, “It’s just that this bestowal of a title still needs the Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess to plead on behalf of me before the Emperor for it to be effective.”
Feng Lingxi now understood. This sudden change in Feng Aotiān's attitude, it turned out that the appointment of the National General still required her and Dugu City's help. No wonder he was so low-key and ingratiating towards them.
"This matter, this king cannot decide."
Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "All the affairs of the Fourth Prince's Mansion are managed by Xi'er."
Implying that she wants him to speak well of her, Feng Ling Xi needs to nod in agreement. If Xi Er refuses, it's off the table.
Feng Aotien's expression suddenly became amiable.
"Lord Siwang is indeed very fond of Xier. If this matter were left to Xier, there would be no need for discussion. Xier would naturally speak well of Father in front of the Emperor. What do you think, Xier"
Feng Lingxi coldly sneered, without even bothering to discuss it. He actually had the audacity to say these words.
"No official business will be discussed upon returning home today."
Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, grasped Dugu Cheng's hand, and said, "It's rare for you to come back once. I promise to accompany the king to my mother's courtyard to help clean up the house. When she comes back, it will be a comfortable place to live, so that the dust inside won't be too thick."
"My mother, I have people cleaning every day!"
Zhao smiled and winked at Feng Aotian, urging him to continue the previous topic. She didn't want Feng Lingxi to interrupt. If this wasn't successful, she had no idea when the bestowal of titles would be finalized.
"Xier, Father will accompany you there. It's been many months since your mother left, and everything in this courtyard has been kept as it was, waiting for her return."
Feng Aotian opened his mouth, as if saying that his relationship with Yao Wan'ying was extremely deep. Feng Lingxi felt sick listening to it.
"No need, this King will accompany Xi'er myself. Besides, this King has also brought two friends who will help as well."
Luoli and Li Wuyan, who had followed closely behind, greeted Feng Aotian politely before walking to the side of Dugu Cheng. Luoli asked, "Would it be possible to go now"
"Please wait a moment, brother Lu."
Feng Yu Xi's gaze fell on Luoli and Li Wu Yan, her eyes narrowed slightly, she didn't expect them to be here either.
"Depart."
"Fengyu Xixi called out, Luoli turned around and met Fengyu Xixi's questioning eyes with a slight smile, like a spring breeze brushing her face, "Your Majesty the Empress, we meet again."
"How could you be with Feng Lingxi"
Luoli glanced at Fengling Xi, her handsome eyebrows raised. "There's nothing wrong with me being with her."
"You're not..."
Before the storm and rain could finish their conversation, looking at Luoli's innocent eyes, he clenched his fists in anger. What a Luoli, so he was working with Feng Lingxi all along Could it be that everything she had pleaded with him for back then, he had told Feng Lingxi
If it's not for one's own use, then there's no need for this person to keep them.
A cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes before vanishing, Feng Yu Xi glanced at Feng Ling Xi, "Fourth Sister is truly skilled. The men under your command are growing more and more."
"How could Your Majesty speak so vulgarly What does it mean that there are more and more men under her command, as if I am subject to her"
Feng Lingxi heard Luo Li's words and almost laughed out loud from suppressing herself.
"General Feng, although Her Majesty is of humble birth, she is still a princess. Her words and actions should be measured, lest they bring shame upon the royal family." Luoli's words angered Feng Yuxi, who rebuked her, "How dare you speak to me like that!"
"Your Majesty, Luo Li doesn't have the qualifications to be blamed, but Your Majesty mustn't forget that Luo Li's indiscretion is not something you should point fingers at."
Feng Lingxi grew angry, the guards behind her drew their swords and pointed them at Luo Li. But in the next moment, they saw a sword placed on Yu Xi's neck. This shadow guard who appeared and disappeared without a trace was back again.n before."Feng Lingxi looked at Sun Cheng, "Have you made any improvements"Sun Cheng scratched his head sheepishly, “Didn’t the princess say to make it more refined I was thinking about how theirs was...
