Feng Lingxi nodded, agreeing with Xiaoli’s point of view.
After all, her identity is not like Dugu Yu. He, the prince who was demoted to Liangzhou, was not an ordinary honor to be able to return to Beijing for the New Year and attend the banquet for tribute envoys.
“Are there any movement in the palace these days? Did the queen and Feng Linglong make trouble?”
Feng Lingxi tied her fox fur and walked out of the room.
“Everyone is at peace with oneself, but the emperor’s health is not very good. Today, I heard the prince and Ye Xi say that the emperor’s coughing in the past few days is so severe. The prince looked worried about this.”
“What’s the point of worrying?”
If this Dugu Yan was really poisoned to death, what does it have to do with him?
“How dare I ask? If the princess wants to know, just ask the prince for herself.”
Feng Lingxi frowned and looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky. The ground was thicker, and it was white again until night.
“I don’t want to care about Dugu Yan’s affairs, it’s not necessary.”
Feng Lingxi took two steps, suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked Xiaoli, “Are Dugu City back?”
“The prince hasn’t come back yet, I’m afraid it’s going to be at night.”
Feng Lingxi’s beautiful eyes slightly raised. Dugu City goes out early and returns late every day these days. This time, he has to toss her several times when he climbs into bed in the middle of the night, which makes her unable to get up early every day. It’s so late today. Is it so busy for the banquet for the tribute envoys?
“Go to the front hall.”
Xiaoli hurriedly followed the princess’ footsteps and walked through the long corridor towards the front hall.
Concubine Shu looked at the gentle and dignified third princess. The smile on her face and every behavior were a model for the ladies of a noble family. Dugu Yu had a good vision.
The third princess was able to smile when she was seen by Concubine Shu. She couldn’t wait for Feng Lingxi, and she was a little nervous. This time she came, mainly because she saw Feng Lingxi. If she failed, the mission would fail again.
“Consort Shu, the princess is here.”
Madam Zhang beside Consort Shu spoke, and Consort Shu looked at Feng Lingxi coming, looked at the fox fur on her body, and frowned slightly.
“Madam Zhang, is the princess’ clothes thinner? She is wrapped in fox fur and looks so bad?”
Feng Lingxi walked to Concubine Shu, “Daughter-in-law greets her mother.” Instead, she smiled slightly at the third princess, “Three Princess.”
The third princess nodded as a response. After all, in front of Concubine Shu, she was just a princess, so it was difficult to open the topic without authorization.
“No need to be polite, Xi’er comes to her mother’s place.”
Feng Lingxi walked to Concubine Shu and sat down. Concubine Shu grabbed her hand and touched her hand so coldly, looking unhappy.
“Xi’er, aren’t you wearing enough clothes? Why are your hands so cold?”
Feng Lingxi smiled and said, “Mother, Xi’er’s body is like this. She doesn’t feel cold even if she wears enough clothes.”
“Madam Zhang, I’ll stew the thousand-year-old ginseng that the former emperor gave to this concubine to the fourth princess later and stew it. This tonic bird’s nest must not be missing. If you are weak, when will you get pregnant?”
Feng Lingxi couldn’t help but blush when she heard the word “child”. No wonder Dugu Cheng was so desperate. It seems that his mother put pressure on him a lot.
