Chapter 1533: Glassy Purple Star 72

iao Simu nodded, "Being able to guess here, the Fourth Princess seems to know enough about Luoshang Flower. I believe there will be a way.""Not yet, no matter how much Young Master Xiao praises me, I...Feng Lingxi was at a loss. Just before, they had let her be with the crown prince of Xigu Country. How long has it been, and now she is said to be the princess of Xigu Country How do these emperors make such things sound like jokes

"Oh, you don't know about that yet."

Lu Nian rolled her eyes. “Didn’t my mother give you a box before she left Inside that box is the imperial decree, the one from the Emperor of Xigu Country bestowing upon you the title of ‘Saint Sparrow Princess.’”

"Saint Lan Princess" Feng Ling Xi looked at Lu Nian nodding, then looked at Tao Su, who was also just as puzzled.

"Yes, this is a title unique to our Xigu Kingdom's Palace Master, Qingfeng Shengluan. It's a divine bird, symbolizing auspiciousness."

Lu Nian explained, suggesting, “Would you like to take out the imperial decree and have a look”

"Does opening the imperial edict mean I have accepted it, and not opening it means I haven't"

Lu Nian frowned, "What Don't you want to be this princess"

"It's your turn, would you"

Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes. She was truly lucky; wherever she went, they bestowed upon her the title of princess. Yet, she hated this title with a passion. What on earth was the emperor of Xigu Country thinking by giving her this title

She had never even met him, why would he bestow upon her the title of Saintly Lark Princess

"If you're unwilling to marry the crown prince, then we can only bestow upon you the title of princess. You wouldn't want to cause trouble for the Lu family, would you"

Lu Nian said this while lowering his head. He knew his sister didn't want to, and this bestowal of princess title was indeed a helpless act.

"Tell me the truth, what's really going on Why were you granted a title Is it related to that day with Liuli Zi Xing"

Feng Lingxi remembered that night, she placed Bai Liuli and Zi Xing together, releasing a purple glow. This color in ancient times symbolized the imperial purple qi, and the matter of the crown prince was likely due to this as well.

Lu Nian nodded. "This is really hard to explain clearly. If you don't want to marry the crown prince, then there's no other way. Sister, forgive me for speaking out of turn, you don't seem to be happy about marrying the crown prince, but this princess title... if you refuse it, I'm afraid you'll really anger the Emperor."

The Lu family were imperial relatives, and the Empress Dowager was also their aunt. For the sake of the family, the maternal family had no choice but to agree to the grant of a title.

"To be honest, this identity does place some restrictions on you being with the royal family in Xiguo, but no matter what, it still provides you with some security. For example, during this peace treaty with the Yuan Dynasty, if you didn't want to participate, you only had to reveal your identity, and the Yuan Dynasty wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

Lu Nian was afraid Feng Lingxi would be angry. Seeing her silent, his heart pounded with anxiety.

"You already knew I had been knighted."

Feng Lingxi faintly said, looking at Lu Nian nodding, her mood was very complicated.

"Little sister, if you truly dislike this bestowed title, when we return, I'll have your parents reconsider and find a solution for you."

"Can you just go The imperial decree has already been issued, do you think it's a child's play"

Feng Ling's brow furrowed, she really disliked this feeling. It felt like her life was being controlled, it was truly unbearable.

"Forget it, I'll just keep this identity. It's better than being married off to the crown prince, and as you said, this identity is also a protection for me. Being the princess of Xigu Kingdom is better than being a bride from Dangan Dynasty."

Lu Nian nodded hurriedly, "So, don't be afraid, you have the Lu family and the royal family of Xigu Country behind you. No one can threaten you."

Feng Lingxi gave a wry smile. It sounded like she was amazing, but only she knew that the identity given to her had ulterior motives.

"Sister, would you like to open the imperial edict and see"

Lu Nian carefully glanced at Feng Ling Xi, afraid she would be angry. He thought she would be happy about being bestowed the title of princess, but he didn't expect such a negative reaction. This was something everyone in the world dreamed of, yet she rejected it as if it were nothing.

"No need, knowing there's this imperial edict is enough."

Feng Lingxi had figured it out. With the title of Saint Luan Princess, she could avoid a lot of trouble in the capital city. Her family and current situation posed no threat to her; she just needed to focus on her own affairs.

"Sister, are you not angry anymore"

"I'm not angry, just a little upset when I first heard the news. Suddenly having this kind of identity, I couldn't accept it at first. But now that I think about it, as you said, I have people backing me up. What's there to be unhappy about"

Windling smiled and walked towards the children.

Many people dream of having such an identity, but she always finds fault with it.

Lu Nian sighed, but it was understandable. Didn't her identity lack just this one thing Perhaps her sister had never felt that her status could bring her anything Otherwise, why would she be so resistant.

"Big Brother Lu, will you agree to the marriage of Xiao Feng and I"

Tao Su asked, Lu Nian shrugged and looked towards Feng Ling Xi's side, "Do you think she would agree"

Tao Su understood, but it was also good this way. Marriage wasn't a child's play. If she agreed like this, wouldn't her life be ruined forever

That night, Feng Lingxi and Tian Xiaomi played with the children until very late. They stayed up talking by candlelight, and from Tian Xiaomi, Feng Lingxi learned about some things and clearly understood what had happened to Dugu City over the years.

Although Tian Xiaomǐ's tone was full of blame and dissatisfaction towards Dugu City, Feng Lingxi knew that he hadn't had a good time over the past five years. He wasn't as happy as having both left and right arms.

After his military power was handed over, Emperor Yuan Zhao stripped him of all his real power. All of Dugu City's former subordinates were also replaced, and there was no one he could rely on around him. This title of King Chen was merely a showpiece, with a name but no actual power.

If it weren't for the current Empress Dowager's protection, Dugu City would have probably lost his life. This sounds good as a prince, but badly as a prince stripped of all real power and confined in the capital. Added to that, after she disappeared five years ago, Dugu City developed a series of illnesses. Over these years, Emperor Yuan Zhao didn't even have the heart to kill him; he simply abandoned him in the Chen Wangfu, leaving him to fend for himself. Occasionally, he would provide him with women for his harem, all of whom were secretly monitoring him. His life was far from carefree; one could even describe it as miserable.

In the past year, Emperor Yuan Zhao's health had deteriorated significantly. Coupled with Wang Yu's rapidly growing influence in court, if it hadn't been for Prime Minister Nan Gong Qi's assistance, he might have dominated the government. Emperor Yuan Zhao no longer cared much about Duguo City, and his restrictions on him were considerably looser than before.

Wind Ling spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Tian Xiaomi had revealed too much information. Back when she had separated from Dugu Cheng, Wind Ling had thought he was simply falling for someone else. Now, however, she clearly understood that Dugu Cheng had only wanted her to leave, so she wouldn't have to suffer alongside him.

>ed in front of them, it's no wonder they were frightened."Ye Xi, Xiao Li, dispose of the body."Dugu Cheng looked at the village head, "Let her in, and make your words clear."Yexi and Xiaoli went to de...
