Chapter 40: Fight on the Bed

his arms, yet he can't touch her. It is indeed a cruel thing.Come, have a meal.The emperor spoke, restoring the harmonious atmosphere. Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng silently, her mind racing with pl...Hearing him call her "my beloved," Feng Lingxi's skin prickled with goosebumps. This was way too cheesy, wasn't it Who was he calling his beloved

Du Gu Yan looked at the way her fourth brother addressed Xi Er, and at Xi Er's attitude, a smile appeared on her face. "Fourth Brother, this time you have truly accomplished great things. Your father praises you endlessly. With one move of feigned death, you successfully wiped out bandits and uncovered the mastermind behind it all. This move is truly excellent."

Playing Dead

When Feng Lingxi heard these two words, her eyes darkened even further. Dugu Cheng was faking his death

Did he truly not know about the marriage, or was he feigning ignorance

Dugu Cheng reminded, "Your Highness, some words should be weighed before you speak."

Dugu Yan's face changed slightly, Dugu Cheng grabbed Feng Lingxi's arm and pulled her away.

"In the future, stay away from the Crown Prince. Don't forget your current status."

He said that since she hadn't arrived for so long, it turned out she was having a good time with the Crown Prince, and the way he looked at her was clearly infatuated. No wonder she wanted to divorce him. It seems she wasn't satisfied with being the Fourth Princess Consort.

"My lord, I don't quite understand what you mean. Isn't it normal to greet the prince when you meet him in the palace With your words, someone might think there's something between me and the prince! I can't afford that." Feng Lingxi shook off his hand, rubbing her wrist. He was squeezing so hard, making it seem like she had something scandalous going on with the prince.

"Feng Ling Xi, you are now the Queen of this King. Do you truly consider me your husband"

"Then you should ask His Royal Highness if he considers me his wife" Feng Ling Xi looked at him, and Dugu Cheng stared at her for a long time, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"This king doesn't care what thoughts you have in your heart. If you don't want the emperor to punish you, then behave well as the Fourth Royal Princess."

Feng Lingxi stared at him, asking softly, "Alright, let's go back and talk later. After all, you just came back, no need to rush."

Seeing her compromise, Dugu Cheng couldn't help but let out a breath of relief.

"What are you standing there for Lead the way, or else His Royal Highness or some prince will come and talk to me later. I don't want to be told by you that I'm flirting with someone again."

Facing Feng Lingxi's words, Dugu Cheng knew she was deliberately provoking him, yet he found himself inexplicably taking her to the Imperial Garden. It was supposed to be a banquet to welcome her back and treat her well, but now his anger simmered, making him reluctant to stay for dinner. He feared he couldn't control himself and would end up clashing with Feng Lingxi.

In the Imperial Garden, civil and military officials along with their families had already arrived. Seeing Dugu City arrive with Feng Lingxi, they immediately stepped forward to offer congratulations and praise his intelligence and talent. Feng Lingxi was quickly pushed aside by them.

"Isn't this Feng Lingxi, the number one beauty in our capital She was married to the Fourth Prince a few days ago as a lucky bride. I didn't expect that the Fourth Prince came back after only a few days in the mansion. It seems you are a fortunate woman."

Feng Lingxi looked at the several beautiful women surrounding her, her brows furrowed slightly. She had no impression of them at all.

"This has all been seen by several young ladies, and this princess also feels very fortunate."

When the women heard Feng Lingxi's words, their faces changed. Was this fool truly foolish or was he pretending Couldn't he hear the meaning behind their words

"Feng Lingxi, the Fourth Prince is a war god of our Yuanxing Dynasty. Although you are the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, remember that you are a foolish and simple-minded daughter. You are not worthy of the Fourth Prince."

The most beautiful girl at the front reminded, looking at Feng Lingxi's attire, she didn't expect that after marrying into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Feng Lingxi, this fool, would wear such good clothes. It made her jealous. She was the daughter of a prime minister, and before coming here, she had already told her father that she wanted to divorce Feng Lingxi and marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion as the fourth princess.

Seeing her so honest, Feng Lingxi smiled.

It turns out she wanted to steal his man.

Just at this moment, Feng Ling Xi suddenly didn't want to dump Dugu Cheng anymore. She, Feng Ling Xi, had slept with men before, so who was she to say whether or not he was worthy

"I don't know who this young lady is"

She is Hao Qingqing, the daughter of the prime minister.

The girl beside her said, looking at Feng Lingxi with disgust, "Feng Lingxi, we all know that the Fourth Prince has just returned, and you haven't consummated your marriage with him. Asking the Fourth Prince to divorce you is not your fault."

"Feng Ling Xi, tonight you are not allowed to consummate your marriage with the Fourth Prince. Do you understand"

Hao Qingqing warned, "You fool! The Fourth Prince certainly wouldn't like you. Once I'm married to him, I'll be the Fourth Princess Consort. The Fourth Prince will only share a chamber with me, not with you!"

"This..."

Feng Lingxi looked at Hao Qingqing and suddenly asked, "Miss Qingqing, forgive my boldness, but I would like to ask, has the Emperor already agreed to give you in marriage to the Fourth Prince, or has he already agreed to let the Fourth Prince divorce me"

"What do you mean by that"

Hao Qingqing looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes, filled with mocking laughter, and her face flushed red with anger.

"Feng Ling Xi, you're just a fool, you don't deserve Fourth Prince, he's mine."

Huo Qingqing roared angrily, her voice stunned everyone present. Looking at all the people around her staring at her, Huo Qingqing was too ashamed to lift her head.

Feng Lingxi raised her thumb at her, "As expected of the Prime Minister's daughter, you are indeed imposing. With such a bold and straightforward confession to the Fourth Prince, I believe he will be moved to marry you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a hand suddenly appeared on Feng Ling Xi’s waist. A large hand encircled her slender waist, pulling her into his arms. An unhappy reprimand came from him, “My beloved, you are so playful, pushing this king out to these women like that”

The sudden embrace made Feng Lingxi very uncomfortable. She wanted to push him away, but he held her even tighter.

Duke Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi's angry face and gently tapped her nose, "My beloved, are you jealous"

Being jealous of your sister, she is angry.

He attracted a swarm of bees, causing her to be besieged here. He even deliberately played ambiguously with her, thinking they were all blind After just returning, how could their relationship be so good

"My lord, these are all young ladies who admire you. I was just thinking how to arrange them. After all, there is only one position for the main wife. Should we give it to Miss Qingqing Or perhaps to the lady beside her"

Feng Lingxi's words made Hao Qingqing's eyes light up. Feng Lingxi was agreeing to give the position of princess to her.

Dugu City's eyes swept over those women, and he whispered in Feng Lingxi's ear, "Feng Lingxi, if you don't want this king to deal with you here, just go ahead and provoke them."

"You…" Feng Ling Xi raised her head, meeting Du Gu Cheng's face with that doting smile. This sinister fellow, he threatened her.

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, gritting her teeth as she glared at him, "Let go."

"Not unless..."

He was whispering in her ear again, and to onlookers, they looked like a loving couple. But only Feng Lingxi knew she was being threatened., please."Both Dugu Cheng and Huangfu Qingyun had their own private agendas. They both wanted the other to reveal Xi'er's opinion of them, but, knowing it well, neither dared to speak.Feng Lingxi bath...
