Xiao Li also ate. They were served double portions. It wasn’t unfair to Xiao Li at all."Nature is truly thinking that way."Xiao Li's hands were frozen stiff. She built a fire, and her hands only warme...Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi attentively listening to him, and whispered, "What do you think, Xi'er"
Feng Lingxi feigned ignorance and said, "Not bad."
獨孤城壓低了聲音，“要不要和她比比？” Dugu Cheng lowered his voice, "Want to compete with her"
Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, “Don’t joke around, there’s no way I would be like that.”
Shen Yun watched as Feng Lingxi and Dugu City spoke, her beautiful eyes flickering, a slight smile playing on her lips. It seemed the rumors were true, that the Fourth Prince was also involved in qin music.
獨孤城笑了笑，輕聲說，“那就好，反正本王也聽不懂這些，以後我們在一起，就更加的適合了。”
Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly. After all this time, he was trying to tell her that he couldn't play the piano either. If Shen Yun entered the house, wouldn't it be like talking to a cow about love
As the song ended, the Empress clapped her hands. Everyone in attendance followed suit, applauding and cheering wildly.
Shen Yun stood up and walked forward, bowing slightly. "My humble self presents her respects."
"As expected of the Prime Minister's child, this piece is played so well."
"As the saying goes, this song should only be heard in heaven, and it is rare to hear it on earth a few times."
Dugu Yan agreed, with a look of admiration on her face.
Shen Yun was praised by the Crown Prince and Empress, a blush appeared on her stunning face, and she hurriedly thanked them.
"Fourth Master, what do you think of this piece played by the Grand Secretary's granddaughter, Shen Yun"
Du Gucheng was named by the Empress, and he smiled and clasped his hands together. “The Empress and His Royal Highness have both said so, so it must be truly excellent. It’s just a pity that this king is merely a martial man. These refined things like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—to me, they all sound the same.”
The Empress's smile froze, and Shen Yun didn't expect the Fourth Prince to say he knew nothing about these things. Wouldn't that make her efforts in vain
"This child Cheng'er has been accustomed to fighting and killing since he was young. It's all my fault for not letting him learn properly, causing the Empress to laugh at us."
Dugu Cheng has been fighting on the battlefield for years. Such occasions are inherently limited in scope, and even more so because he doesn't understand, who dares to say they do
“Shu Fei, Cheng’er being a prince, he should learn some etiquette, lest people laugh at him later and say that the princes of Yuanxing Dynasty can't even understand music.” The Emperor spoke. Duo Gu Cheng hurriedly stood up and bowed, “Father taught me well, my son will definitely study more when I have time. It’s just a pity for Miss Shen Sun’s playing, I’m afraid only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can understand her.”
Dugu Cheng's words caused the Empress's expression to change slightly. He knew she was going to bestow Shen Yun upon him, and seized this opportunity to force Shen Yun back, preventing her from carrying out the marriage.
"Fourth Brother, this palace already has a Consort Feng. This Miss Shen, how about you take her instead"
Dugu Yan's generosity was evident; from the moment he appeared, Xi'er had never spared him a glance.
He spoke, nothing more than wanting Xi'er to know he existed, hoping she would turn her gaze upon him. Yet, not once did he see his own reflection in her eyes.
"Fourth Prince, you haven't taken a concubine since your marriage. This Palace thinks Shen Yun is a good girl, why not make her your concubine..."
Du Gu Cheng hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. This king doesn’t understand music and can’t appreciate her playing. Furthermore, the Crown Prince has praised Miss Shen’s music repeatedly, he must be extremely fond of it. This king dares not take what the Crown Prince loves, please reconsider, Your Majesty.”
"Younger brother, why not ask Miss Shen See who she favors."
獨孤雁 looked at Feng Lingxi, seeing that she still wasn't looking at him. His eyes darkened. It seemed she had truly forgotten him completely.
When Shen Yun heard this from the Crown Prince, she clenched her fingers and her heart pounded. If she said she wanted to marry the Fourth Prince, would she definitely be able to marry him
"Your Majesty, Yun'er has always wanted to marry someone who understands her. I implore you, Your Majesty, not to bestow Yun'er upon the Fourth Prince. He doesn't understand music, and if Yun'er were to marry him as a concubine..."
The Chancellor knelt before the Empress, presenting his request. The smile on the Empress's face froze instantly. They had already agreed to let Shen Yun marry Dugu City, so why was she suddenly going back on her word
"Prime Minister, don't you think it would be a shame to have Yun'er become a concubine"
Feng Lingxi frowned, could it be that the Empress was going to give her position as the official consort to Shen Yun next
"I dare not, only..."
The Prime Minister wore a troubled expression. Seeing this, the Empress quickly said, "Prime Minister, if you have any difficulties, please speak freely."
"Yuner grew up by my side since she was young. She is weak and helpless, with a gentle personality. Marrying into the Si Wangfu would be unsuitable for her."
Dugu Cheng frowned slightly. She, Shen Yun, was weak and helpless. Could it be that the Prime Minister wanted to go back on his word
"It's understandable that the Chancellor feels sorry for Miss Sun. After all, marrying a warrior like me is quite a hardship for her."
Du Gu Cheng spoke, and the Prime Minister, seeing Du Gu Cheng speak, hesitated again. It seemed that Yun'er had feelings for Du Gu Cheng. Should he help this child
He absolutely wouldn't agree to just making Yun'er a concubine. He wouldn't stand for it! Feng Lingxi was just the daughter of a general, and once Yun'er entered the household, she would be bullied by her.
"Your Excellency, if you have any difficulties, please speak freely. This palace will make the decision for you."
The Empress spoke, and the Prime Minister's face changed slightly. He looked at Yun'er biting her lip and secretly looking at Du Gu Cheng with adoring eyes, and bowed, "The minister does not want Yun'er to be a concubine."
"Does the Chancellor mean to ask this palace to yield the position of Crown Princess to her"
Suddenly, the Crown Princess sitting beside Dugu Yan spoke up, causing a hush to fall over the scene. The Prime Minister was left dumbfounded by the Crown Princess's words. Wasn't she talking about Dugu Cheng's side How did the Crown Princess get involved
The chancellor didn't say that about you.
Dugu Yan sank her voice and reminded, “Don’t speak.”
The Crown Princess clenched her fists, staring at Shen Yun's gentle and weak gaze, she was still stubbornly looking at Cheng Gege. Who did she think she was, the granddaughter of the Prime Minister
I still want to be the princess of Lord Cheng, even if it means taking it from Feng Lingxi, I won't let her have it.
"That's what they want, for the Fourth Princess to relinquish her position as the Fourth Princess."
The Crown Princess called out her name. Feng Ling Xi raised her head and looked at the displeasure in the Crown Princess's eyes, but said nothing.
The Fourth Princess is the one I betrothed to Cheng'er. I promised her, and no one can take her place as his empress," The emperor, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, beckoning Feng Ling Xi, "Xi'er, it's the Empress's birthday today, do you have any programs prepared"
Feng Lingxi stood up and walked over. After bowing, she looked up at the Empress, meeting her cold gaze with unflinching courage. "Father Emperor," she said calmly, "these past few days, your daughter-in-law has been diligently practicing calligraphy. I wonder if it would be possible to show my humble skills before everyone"
When Dugu Cheng heard that she wanted to write, the tea he had almost choked on, staring incredulously at Xi'er above. She couldn't have been stimulated, could she
"Little Li, when did the princess practice calligraphy How could this king be unaware"
Little Li shook her head, she was also dumbfounded. She had never seen the Princess practice writing, could it be that she had been angered by Shen Yun
"You're saying, do you think the princess might be hiding something"became emperor, he wouldn't be as benevolent a ruler as they anticipated, but she never expected him to become a tyrant.What angered her most was that Empress Cen remained indifferent to the matter, c...
