ui Fei cried out, being dragged away by the maidservant, leaving only cries that made one's heart ache to hear."My lord, if the Empress knew of this, she would surely be furious. After all, she is you...Feng Lingxi greeted Princess Qingfeng to sit down. Looking at the over ten maidservants and eunuchs behind her, each with a fierce and menacing gaze directed at her, it was as if she had done something wrong to Princess Qingfeng.
"Princess, how can you be so unreasonable I told you before you came..."
"What did you say"
Lu Nian's words were cut off before she could finish by Princess Qingfeng. Facing Princess Qingfeng's displeased expression, Lu Nian swallowed the rest of her words. Looking at her calm and composed sister, she really regretted bringing Princess Qingfeng here.
"Princess Qingfeng, what do you wish to speak with me about Speak freely, and I shall help you find clarity."
Feng Lingxi ignored Lu Nian and Princess Qingfeng's conversation. Anyway, this princess was here to pick a fight, so she might as well play along and let her win.
"Lu Lingxi, this princess is not asking you, are you afraid of me"
Afraid of her
The two characters, Feng Ling Xi, couldn't help but chuckle, raising her eyes to meet hers. "I dare ask Princess Qingfeng, besides your parents, who else is afraid of you"
"You..."
Princess Qingfeng was furious, her face ashen. She crossed her arms and glared at Feng Lingxi, "I'm asking you,"
"Princess Qingfeng is a princess of Xi Gu Kingdom, while I am merely the wife of Prince Chen of the Yuan Dynasty. I haven't offended you, so there's no need for me to fear you."
"You just said that no one, except my father and mother, was afraid of me."
Feng Ling's smile widened at the corners of her lips.
"Yes, but I am not your emperor or empress, nor am I someone from Xiguo."
"Who said you're not, you are Lu Hao's daughter, you are the citizen of Xi Gu nation, you can't escape it."
Princess Qingfeng glared at Feng Lingxi angrily. Seeing that she wasn't annoyed, Princess Qingfeng became even angrier.
"Qingfeng Princess, don't you know that when a woman marries, she follows her husband Since I have married the Prince of Great Yuan, I belong to him. The Prince is from Great Yuan, so I am naturally from Great Yuan as well. Besides, this Lu family, I only recently learned about it, and I haven't acknowledged them as my family, so I can't be considered a member of the Lu family."
"I can vouch for that, my sister really hasn't reconciled with the Lu family. It's just that I've always called her sister, and she finds it annoying, so she didn't forbid me from calling her that."
Lu Nian hurriedly said, fearing that Princess Qingfeng wouldn't believe him, and hurriedly explained.
Princess Qingfeng let out a cold snort, "I don't care about any of that. Anyway, I know you are Lu Hao's daughter. This princess came here to find you, you can't escape."
"I wonder what the Princess wishes to do with me I don't believe I have offended Princess Qingfeng, so I beg you, Princess Qingfeng, to show mercy."
"I don't want your life. I just want to see for myself what all the fuss is about. They say you're amazing, so I want to see how capable you really are."
After Qingfeng Princess finished speaking, her eyes were full of disdain.
But it seems now, he's just relying on his family's status to bully others, nothing more than a hollow shell.
"The princess said."
Feng Lingxi agreed, "I only have a beautiful face and am just an ordinary woman who bullies others. Princess Qingfeng, please return to your palace and don't make things difficult for me anymore."
Lu Nian saw Feng Lingxi's forbearance and felt a surge of anger. But seeing Feng Lingxi's calm expression and knowing she disliked such things, he dared not ask further.
"How have I made things difficult for you, Your Highness"
Princess Qingfeng suddenly stood up and glared at Feng Lingxi, her anger blazing like a fire. She stared at Feng Lingxi's face with fury, feeling jealous that everyone praised Feng Lingxi.
As the esteemed princess of Xi Gu, she held a noble status and would not allow herself to be compared to others.
Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over Princess Qingfeng's action of slapping the table. Her tone was slightly heavy, not angry, just no longer with the smile she had before.
"Can the Princess Qingfeng's hands hurt"
"Of course, my hand doesn't hurt. This table isn't mine, so why would my hand hurt"
A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Princess Qingfeng's lips, her beautiful face full of smugness. Seeing Feng Lingxi's expression change, she wanted to see how long she could endure.
Since it doesn't hurt, then continue.
Feng Lingxi took a sip of tea and ignored her anger. Instead, she calmly waited for Princess Qingfeng's next slam on the table. If that was all she was going to do, she wasn't afraid.
"Why should I continue, Your Highness"
Princess Qingfeng gave Feng Lingxi a cold glance. The hand that had just pounded the table rested on her knee, the other rubbing at it, with visible red marks clearly seen on the surface.
"Why don't you acknowledge the Lu family Don't you know how they praised you before my imperial parents, as if you were the best person in the world"
After a moment of silence, Princess Qingfeng spoke and questioned Feng Lingxi.
"It was my mother's wish, but I am truly grateful to her now for not allowing me to be reunited with the Lu family."
Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, and Princess Qingfeng hurriedly asked, "Why"
Feng Lingxi looked at her, "Before I've reconciled with the Lu family, you treat me like this. If I reconcile with the Lu family, will I even be able to see the sun rise tomorrow"
Lu Nian nodded in agreement. As expected of his younger sister, she had thought things through very carefully. He hadn't considered this at all. Perhaps their parents hadn't even thought about it when they came to recognize her as their daughter
Princess Qingfeng was left speechless by Feng Lingxi's retort. She let out a cold snort, her phoenix eyes sweeping across the Chen Wangfu with disdain in their depths.
"This great Yuan dynasty palace is really cold and depressing, it's not as good as the government mansions in our Western Ancient Country."
Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at Princess Qingfeng's disapproving eyes, she was not angry.
Lu Nian, your family is so wealthy, why don't you take care of your own sister's poor living conditions
Lu Nianjian was named, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I said, Princess Qingfeng, this is the borderland. Moreover, this is the Chen Wangfu of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Even in Han Pen, it's still the Chen Wangfu. If you don't like it, you can go back to the palace."
Feng Lingxi nodded in agreement. "Princess Qingfeng is used to being pampered. This Chenwang Mansion might feel a bit cold for you, but for me, it's already very good. There's one more thing, I don't know if Lu Nian has told you."
Feng Lingxi's expression suddenly became serious. "Given the princess's status, I should make things clear to avoid the princess falling ill and causing a conflict between the two nations later on."
What do you mean by that
Sick
When Princess Qingfeng heard the word "illness", her whole body trembled.
"A few days ago, Lu Nian and I just returned from the nearby town of Tu Mu. There was an outbreak there, though it's been controlled now. However, the source of the plague remains unknown. What's more, people who came and went from Tu Mu have been moving around in surrounding towns. Princess Qing Feng, I advise you to return to Xi Gu Guo if you haven't already. It's not safe here."
As soon as Feng Ling spoke, Princess Qingfeng felt a wave of discomfort wash over her. It was as if the very air around them carried a plague, causing goosebumps to erupt all over her body.
"Don't scare me, Your Highness isn't easily frightened." Qingfeng Princess straightened her voice, trying to be brave, but her body still trembled uncontrollably.She had indeed taken the medicine that day. She didn't want children right now, but this was a secret she kept to herself."Mother Empress, the daughter-in-law understands."The Imperial Noble Consort p...
