Chapter 348: Seize Power 103
n inside. Each one blushed as they looked at each other with curiosity."The soldiers say that you are kind to them. How come you are so rough with me"Dugu Cheng's tone was sour, looking at her angry f...Seeing the Empress Dowager's displeased expression, Feng Linglong quickly smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Empress Dowager, this humble servant heard that the little princess from the Aohuang Dynasty is coming for a marriage alliance. This humble servant and her sister want to go out of the palace to see this little princess. I wonder what Empress Dowager thinks"
"Both of you are the Emperor's beloved consorts, going out to see a princess from another kingdom What propriety is there in this"
The Empress Dowager rebuked Feng Linglong sharply, her face stiffened, but she did not stop. She continued, "Empress Dowager, what this concubine means is that I want to see if Feng Lingxi really came with them. By the way, I want to get a sense of this little princess."
People say that Feng Lingxi won't be handed over until after a kinship ceremony. In the recent past, Hu Xia Chao and Dugu City joined forces to destroy the Gallo nation. Although Hu Xia Chao is not as strong as our country militarily, it is still more powerful than other nations.
“Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, during this sweltering summer, the Four Kings united with Emperor of Arahxia to destroy the Galuo Nation. Now, with this betrothal, how could the Arahxia Empire hand over Feng Ling Xi The Crown Prince of Arahxia and Dugu Cheng have known each other and even cooperated before. What if...this is their ploy If we don’t investigate thoroughly, it could cause a huge problem.”
Upon hearing Feng Yu Xi's words, Empress Cen was drenched in a cold sweat.
How could she have overlooked something so important.
獨孤城 and the Crown Prince of Huang Xia joined forces to destroy the Kingdom of Galo. Feng Ling Xi, he also knows. Could it be that this time's engagement is really their scheme
How could this summer morning possibly have given the wind to them
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, or perhaps this respected princess is none other than Feng Ling Xi herself"
Feng Linglong and Feng Yu Xi met each other's eyes, a flash of calculation in their gazes disappearing as quickly as it had appeared.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. We cannot allow Feng Lingxi to enter the capital unnoticed."
Cen Taizi's heart was filled with goosebumps as she listened to the sisters speak one by one. Could it be true that this summer dynasty and Dugu City had really joined forces
If this is really their scheme, then wouldn't that be like inviting wolves into the house
"Lady Long, your father has returned to the capital. Why haven't you brought him to court" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Feng Linglong hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Father said that this time he was unable to help the Sixth Prince complete his mission, he has no face to enter the palace, and is reflecting on himself at home. Please forgive him, Empress Dowager."
"Alright, your father is loyal, I know that. You brought him into the palace because I have matters to discuss with him."
Feng Linglong gave Feng Yuxi a knowing glance as the wind and rain fell in the evening. Feng Yuxi hastily replied, "Your Majesty, should this concubine go to the post house to investigate the identity of Princess Yao Hua"
"You stay at the General's Mansion for a while and take the opportunity to investigate thoroughly."
"Understood, I shall go now."
Feng Yu Xi bade farewell to Empress Feng Linglong in the midst of a blustery evening. After leaving the palace, Feng Yu Xi finally had a chance to chat with Feng Linglong.
"I'm out of the palace on business, you mustn't confuse the emperor here. Our sisters are at a disadvantage now, if we truly fight, neither of us will benefit, and it'll only benefit Concubine Yun and the Empress."
"Don't worry, even though I hate you, we're still sisters after all. I know what to do and what not to do."
Feng Yu Xi Leng let out a cold snort, "If it weren't for the fact that this Feng Ling Xi is actually Princess Yao Hua, I wouldn't even bother cooperating with you."
Feng Linglong was undeterred. "You too, be careful. Investigate properly, and don't forget that if Feng Lingxi comes, she wants to take revenge on you the most. Don't forget how you became a noble concubine."
As the rain poured down, Feng Yu's expression changed dramatically. She didn't need Feng Linglong to speak; she knew that if this Yao Hua Princess was truly Feng Lingxi, her return would undoubtedly mean revenge for what Feng Yu had done to her in the past. Her fear was precisely this – she had to eliminate Feng Lingxi before she made her move.
We absolutely cannot let Feng Lingxi succeed.
On the third day of her arrival in Beijing, Feng Lingxi saw Feng Yuxi. Looking at Feng Yuxi who came to visit, Feng Lingxi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that as a noble consort, she would have so many roles and seemed to be living a good life. Her face was rosy and plump.
"This is Xi Guifei. She has been visiting her family at the General's Mansion these past few days and heard that the Crown Prince and Princess were here, so she came to have a look."
"Feng Yu Xi's maidservant by her side introduced, Feng Ling Xi and Huang Fu Qing Yun bowed, looking at Feng Yu Xi who was staring intently at Feng Ling Xi. Huang Fu Qing Yun’s eyes were suspicious, but he didn't ask any further." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Your Highness, might this concubine ask to take a stroll with Princess Yao Hua This capital city is so bustling, Princess Yao Hua must surely enjoy it."
"Brother, I'm leaving."
Feng Lingxi pulled Emperor Huaiyun's arm and acted coquettishly. Emperor Huaiyun looked at her with fondness, "You little rascal, your father emperor has specifically instructed me to take good care of you. Xi Gui Fei is the emperor's noble concubine, and you are naturally mischievous, so you have to be more obedient."
"Thank you, Brother Emperor."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled Feng Yu Xi, "Noble Consort sister, let's go quickly. We'll stay here in the capital these few days. It's good that we can finally go out and about."
Feng Lingxi acted like a wild girl who had never left the house. She pulled Feng Yu Xi and walked out, leaving Huangpu Qingyun calling after her, "Yao Hua, slow down."
When the fierce wind swept away Xi Bei, Huangpu Qingyun's smile gradually disappeared from his face. He instructed Li Nuo beside him, "You secretly protect the princess's safety."
Li Nuo left, and Huangfu Qingyun looked at the letter sent to him. He opened it and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly turning cold.
Feng Lingxi, as soon as she stepped out the door, would run around everywhere, unable to sit still. This way she'd look, that way she'd stroll, buying this and that, as if she had never seen anything in the world before. She wanted to buy everything in the capital city back home.
"Princess Yaohua, this candied fruit is delicious. Would you like to try one"
Feng Yu Xi looked at her, veiled. He wanted to see her face several times but failed. Just then, he saw candied fruit and asked about it.
"Candied fruit"
Wind Lingxi glanced at it and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I want to eat."
He bought candied haws in the evening rain and offered them to her. Feng Lingxi placed them at her lips, but unfortunately, the veil blocked her way and she couldn't eat them.
"Princess, you cannot remove the veil."
Xiao Li reminded from the side, Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes darkened, and she complained unhappily, "Noble Consort sister, you can't eat this candied fruit."
Xiao Li's reminder made Feng Yu Xi even more suspicious, could it really be Feng Ling Xi Otherwise, why wouldn't she allow her to lift the veil
"Princess, your servant feeds you."
Little Li took down a candied haws, Feng Lingxi received it, using her sleeve to block and ate a candied haws, put it down again and covered it with a veil, not giving Feng Yu Xi any chance to see her face. This kind of action made Feng Yu Xi even more curious, scratching her heart.
"Princess Yaohua, why can't you take off this veil"
"My father said that as the princess, I am here for a marriage alliance, and this appearance must be shown to the Fourth Prince, so I cannot show my face."
Feng Yu Xi Yan covered her mouth and smiled faintly, "It turns out you wanted to give the Fourth Prince a surprise."
Feng Lingxi complained, "This is so inconvenient! But my older brother and father both said that men like to be mysterious. Now I can't eat a lot of things."
Looking at Feng Yu Xi's appearance in the wind and rain, Feng Ling Xi was increasingly acting like a princess who was dissatisfied with etiquette.
"In a few days, the Fourth Prince will arrive in the capital. At that time, Princess Yaohua will be able to see him." tyrannically and oppressively. Doing this, isn't she ruining Dugu Xiu's throne""I don't know, news is blocked now. We have no information about the situation outside."Feng Lingxi sighed, "I don't kno...
