He's burnt out, acting foolish and dazed, that's just how he is.""But this way, if it goes on for too long, Cheng Ge will dislike you."Feng Lingxi lowered her beautiful eyes, "There's no other way. As...Feng Lingxi was sleepless again. The master of this Tianxiang Tower, at half past three in the morning, didn't sleep and came to talk to her about these things. Couldn't he tell Chu Xi and have him talk to her during the day

He walked over and closed the door, glanced at Xiaoli who was soundly asleep with her acupuncture points pressed, Feng Lingxi helplessly tucked her in, then returned to the bed and lay down.

Dugu City returned to the capital, doesn't that mean all matters will be resolved face-to-face

I also don't know how Dugu City will choose when faced with his mother concubine and me.

After a night of restless sleep, I returned to the capital upon daybreak.

Feng Lingxi dozed in the carriage, Xiaoli sat beside her, watching the princess's tired face. She wanted to ask, but held back, thinking she hadn't slept well because of yesterday's events.

Chu Xi sent her to Tianxianglou and did not directly send her back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, considering her status as a princess. She let her go back on her own.

Feng Lingxi alighted from her carriage and looked at the bustling city. Streets and alleys were abuzz with talk of General Feng's return to the capital, as well as the presence of the three kings. The most talked-about subject, however, was the affair between Luo Juzhou and Prince Xiao, the youngest son of the Southern King.

Feng Lingxi was sitting at Tianxiang Building, she had to say, in a place like an inn, gossip spread the fastest. Everyone would chat and share snippets of information, nothing escaped their notice.

Have you heard Pingxi Wang's young miss, Luo Xiaoyun, has moved into Siwangfu. Shu Taifei seems to favor her a lot. Yesterday, she accompanied the young miss shopping and even took her to the temple for blessings. She's treated better than Siwangfei herself.

"That's right, when have you ever heard of the Fourth Princess being treated like this It seems this noble concubine position is set."

"Who said it wasn't so The Fourth Princess hasn't conceived yet, no wonder the Imperial Noble Consort bestowed a concubine upon her. This time, the Third Prince came here precisely to form an alliance."

Feng Ling Xi sat in the next private room, listening to their back-and-forth conversation, her heart feeling heavy.

Rumors spread like wildfire, and the news of her unpregnancy now circulates throughout the capital. It's all in preparation for Luo Juzhou's entry into the household, isn't it

"Your Highness, please don't listen to their nonsense. The Prince isn't like that..."

"Xiao Li, it doesn't matter, let them say what they want. If they don't, how would I know what's happening in this capital city" Feng Ling Xi gave Xiao Li some food and, seeing her worried expression, smiled faintly. "Don't think about it so much, eat up. We'll return home later."

Xiao Li bit her lip. She had no appetite. Hearing these words, her heart was filled with a nameless anger. Why did they say that the princess needed to marry a concubine because she wasn't pregnant There were so many men in the world, why did they have to snatch the king away from the princess

Have you heard The Fourth Princess Consort was driven away by the Imperial Noble Consort, supposedly because of Lady Luo residing in the Fourth Prince's Residence. The Fourth Princess Consort flew into a jealous rage and had a huge fight with the Imperial Noble Consort, running off from home.

"The Fourth Royal Consort is truly pitiful. The General's Mansion doesn't treat her well, and the Imperial Noble Consort treats her like this too. One can only wonder if the Fourth Prince will be kinder to her after returning home."

"You don't know, do you I heard that yesterday, General Feng came back to the General's Mansion and scolded General Feng severely. It seems it was because of something to do with the Fourth Princess Consort, but what exactly happened, I'm not too sure."

The gossips' voices buzzed constantly, but Feng Lingxi grew even quieter, as if they weren't speaking about her but someone else entirely.

After the meal, Chu Xi hurried forward.

"Chu Xi, thank you for protecting me these past few days. I'm going back to the palace now. If anything happens in the future, just look for me." Although she knew Chu Xi was protecting her safety by order, Chu Xi had a strong sense of justice, and she really liked having such a friend.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess is too kind. Chu Xi was merely following the instructions of the host."

“Leaving now.”

Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li out of the Ti Xiang Lou. Chu Xi looked at the landlord who walked out from the next private room and respectfully said, "Landlord, the Fourth Princess has returned home."

"We left too."

He withdrew his gaze and walked towards another door.

Feng Lingxi walked back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. These days, the streets were abuzz with activity, with everyone discussing the three princes' entry into the capital and General Feng's return home. Xiao Li followed behind the princess, her eyes full of worry.

"Your Highness, the Prince hasn't sent any news. Are you not worried about him"

Feng Ling's steps paused, a smile flickered in her eyes as she thought of something, her gaze softening.

"Should we worry about him"

Little Li looked at the smile in the Queen's eyes, utterly puzzled. She just didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, how come I feel you seem to be in a good mood when you mention the King"

He's coming back, of course he's in a good mood, and...

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, a figure appearing in her mind, "I have a lot to do."

Seeing the princess's sudden brightening expression, Xiaoli became even more confused, but quickened her pace to catch up.

A carriage stood at the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The carriage looked somewhat familiar. Feng Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly. As she was about to reach the gate, a guard stepped forward and greeted her politely, "Fourth Princess, you're back"

Such passion, Feng Lingxi had never seen before. Although the guards had always been kind to her in the past, today's attitude was somewhat different from before.

"Whose carriage is this"

Feng Lingxi nodded and asked.

"Reporting back to the Fourth Princess, this is Prince Pingxi's carriage. He is currently visiting in the manor."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "Even the King of Pingxi has arrived."

"Pingnan Wang and the Crown Prince have also arrived."

Feng Lingxi nodded. She knew the purpose of these three kings entering the capital, but Pingnan King had no daughters, and Shutai concubine had no daughters either. This marriage was unlikely. Perhaps there was something else going on.

"Fourth Royal Princess, General Feng is here too."

The guard glanced timidly at the Princess, and seeing her frown, immediately stood straight, fearing she would be displeased.

Doesn't everyone in this palace know how the Princess treats the General's Manor It would be good to give her a heads up beforehand so she can mentally prepare herself.

"I understand."

Wind Lingxi entered the Prince's Mansion and went straight to the front hall. Looking at the lively scene inside, both King Pingxi, King Pannan, and General Feng Lao were present. Wind Lingxi was about to reach the front hall when she stopped in her tracks, turned around and was about to return to the courtyard when she heard Luo Juzhou's voice.

"Shutai, the Fourth Princess is back."

Shu Taifei's gaze fell on Feng Lingxi, seeing her in plain clothes, she must have just returned from outside.

The old general's eyes lit up, but he quickly put on a stern face, his eyes secretly glancing at Feng Lingxi to see her attitude.

Feng Lingxi, upon being discovered, walked towards them and bowed.

"Mother, Xi'er has just returned from outside. I will wash and change my clothes first, and then come to see the guests."

Feng Lingxi, after finishing her words, bowed slightly towards Pingnan Wang, Pingxi Wang, and Feng Laojiang, as a greeting.

"Go."

The Imperial Noble Consort waved her hand, seeming unwilling to see her.

"General Feng's face darkened somewhat at this. Seeing Feng Lingxi walk away, he spoke, "Noble Consort Shu, doesn't that girl often run out"

The Noble Consort Shu smiled and replied, when the aging general inquired about her, "That's not the case. The young master is not at home, and Xi'er also has her own things to busy herself with." over her own face.Dugu Yan coughed twice, her voice raspy with illness. She looked at Feng Lingxi with serious eyes."The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital are unreliable. Is this reason s...
