Chapter 367: Revenge 11

u’ve finally married into my family as I wished. Are you truly not regretting becoming the concubine of Luo”“Of course I have no regrets, to be able to marry the King, it is the good fortune that I cu...Empress Cen closed her eyes, enjoying the shoulder massage given by Feng Lingxi. "Yao Hua, Ai Jia suddenly feels reluctant to let you marry the Fourth Prince. Such a good maid, it would be better to stay by Ai Jia's side."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, gone in an instant. However, the smile on her face remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty Empress Dowager, Yao Hua would also knead your shoulders if she were to marry the Fourth Prince. Yao Hua has long treated Your Majesty Empress Dowager as her own mother."

Wind Ling Xi's words made the Empress laugh.

"You, little girl, your mouth is so sweet. You're completely different from the willful and capricious person they described."

Feng Lingxi chuckled, "Yaohua wouldn't dare to be so defiant in front of the Empress Dowager."

After a while, Empress Cen felt more comfortable. Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, Yao Hua has brought you bird's nest, please eat some to nourish your body. I'll give you another massage.”

Empress Dowager Cen watched as Feng Lingxi presented her with the bird's nest. The maidservant beside her hurriedly took a silver needle to examine it, confirming that it was poison-free before allowing Empress Dowager Cen to eat it. Feng Lingxi had known about this from the beginning and that was why her poison wasn't in the bird's nest.

"Yao Hua, your marriage has been arranged. You will marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion next month on the first day of the eighth lunar month. The Empress Dowager will prepare a dowry for you."

Queen Cen smiled. After Feng Lingxi kneaded her shoulders, she felt much more energetic.

Wind Ling hastily expressed her gratitude and beamed brightly at the Empress Dowager.

Yao Hua thanks the Empress Dowager.

"Get up."

Feng Ling Xi stood behind Empress Cen, continuing to knead her shoulders. “Empress, today, Xiguifei told me that she has never been able to conceive the emperor's child and blamed it on Feng Ling Xi. Is Feng Ling Xi really the reason Xiguifei can’t get pregnant”

When Empress Cen heard about Xi Guifei, she let out a cold snort. "This Xi Guifei has been looking for you these days, hasn't she Is that all she wants to talk about with you"

Feng Lingxi pretended to be frightened and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, it was Xi Gui's sister who told me. Please don't blame her."

"She's simply incapable of giving the Emperor an heir, and keeps blaming others. If it weren't for General Feng’s sake, I wouldn’t tolerate her stirring up trouble in the palace."

"Even Noble Consort Xi was thinking of the Emperor. The Empress Dowager shouldn't blame her; after all, she also worries about the imperial heir."

When Empress Cen heard Feng Lingxi's words, she was furious.

"Yao Hua, did she say anything else to you"

Feng Lingxi's eyes flickered, she shook her head hurriedly. When Empress Cen saw this, she became even more convinced that Xi Gui had said something to Feng Lingxi.

"I know what kind of character this Feng family has. You mustn't get too close to her. None of the daughters in the Feng family are good. They take advantage of Feng Lingxi's resemblance to the emperor and seduce him, thinking that becoming a noble concubine allows them to control everything. As long as I am here, they don't even dare to dream about it."

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's not worth it."

Feng Ling quickly helped Empress Cen regulate her breathing. Did this mean that both Feng Yu Xi and Feng Linglong were children she had taken away

That's really true, what a cruel heart.

"Allow me to introduce you to Yun'er. She is the granddaughter of the current Prime Minister, and she is my favorite granddaughter-in-law."

"Empress Dowager, don't you like the Empress"

Feng Lingxi curiously asked, seeing the empress dowager's displeasure twisting her brows, she hurriedly said, "Yaohua is too talkative, Empress Dowager please don't be angry."

Cen Taizi looked at her self-blaming expression and said lightly, "The Empress's temper follows her father. This empress can't control her, let her go."

Your Royal Highness

Feng Lingxi looked at the Empress Dowager's expression and was surprised. She didn't expect the Empress Dowager to be so indulgent towards Prince Yu. It seems that the Emperor favored the Empress, perhaps wanting to get close to Prince Yu, which is why he did so.

"Why is Yao Hua suddenly concerned about these things today"

Empress Cen suddenly asked, feeling that Yao Hua was a little strange today. She seemed to be intentionally talking about the matters of the inner court. This didn't give her a chance to ask at all. Could it be that Feng Yu Xi purposely let her come to probe her words

Feng Lingxi's expression flickered as she looked at the Empress Dowager staring at her. She hurriedly explained, "Empress Dowager, it was Yao Hua who talked too much."

“It must have been Feng Yu Xi who sent you to ask the old lady this. That woman, unable to bear children herself, has found every way to disrupt the harem. She’s truly a pain in the neck.”

When the Empress Dowager scolded Feng Yu Xi, Feng Ling hastily spoke up for her.

"Your Majesty, Consort Xi is doing well. Please do not blame her, she will surely give the Emperor a dragon heir."

Feng Lingxi wouldn't have said this if she hadn't. Once she did, Empress Cen immediately became agitated. There wasn't a single prince or princess born in the entire palace. There were plenty of concubines, but none with a competitive belly.

"Talking about them gives me a headache."

Feng Ling hurriedly got up, "Then Yao Hua will help you rub your back. Your Majesty, just relax and take a good rest."

Empress Cen lay down, closed her eyes to rest, and Feng Lingxi gave her a massage on the temples. Empress Cen fell asleep quickly.

Feng Lingxi got up and left, not returning directly, but going to the Imperial Noble Consort Shu's sleeping quarters.

"Shutai, Yaohua is here to see you."

Feng Lingxi entered with a bowl of lotus seed soup. Upon seeing Feng Lingxi, the eunuchs and maidservants in the imperial court bowed respectfully before retiring to the side. They knew better than to linger; the Empress Dowager had ordered them not to be too watchful.

The Noble Consort saw the wind and frost arrive, she came in. She dismissed the palace maids and Xiao Li stayed by her side.

"Shutaifei, this is Yao Hua bringing you lotus seed soup. Please try it."

The concubine took it, tasted a mouthful, and smiled with a nod.

"Princess Yao Hua is kindhearted."

Wind Lingxi looked at the smile on her mother concubine's face, "Noble Consort Shu, Yao Hua went to the palace today to see her elder brother, which delayed time. She is only back now and has made you wait for so long."

"It's fine, Princess Yaohua is busy doing something, and it's so late, you still bring food to this concubine, you really worked hard."

Feng Lingxi and Shu Taifei chatted about everyday matters as usual. Seeing that no one was eavesdropping, Feng Lingxi spoke up, "Mother concubine, the wedding date is set. It's the eighth day of the next month. Everything is going smoothly. Mother concubine will have to work hard these days."

The Noble Consort nodded, "Xier, just do it, your mother concubine will cooperate with you."

Feng Lingxi responded and the two discussed for a while. Feng Lingxi then left Shutai's sleeping quarters, and Shutai also went to rest early.

After a day of turmoil, Feng Lingxi was truly exhausted. She returned to her sleeping quarters and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Feng Lingxi was doing well in the palace. No one dared to bully her, nor did anyone dare to speak ill of her, because yesterday she had massaged the Empress Dowager's shoulders. The Empress Dowager rewarded Feng Lingxi with many things, making several concubines in the harem jealous.

Especially Shen Yun, upon learning that the Empress Dowager favored Princess Yao Hua, went to the Empress to complain but was unsuccessful. She then brought her maidservant to Princess Yao Hua's palace to see how she managed to gain such favor from the Empress Dowager.

Feng Lingxi, as usual, learned etiquette from Nanny Liu, then sent bird's nest to the Empress Dowager, visited Consort Shu, and enjoyed flowers in the Imperial Garden during her free time. Her days were filled with activities.

Shen Yun, accompanied by her maid, saw Feng Lingxi admiring flowers in the imperial garden. She was instantly enraged upon seeing this; a princess who was related to the family, enjoyed better treatment in the palace than she, a noble consort. What made it even worse was that the Empress Dowager showered Feng Lingxi with gifts, driving Shen Yun to madness with jealousy.e just how much the Shu Taifei had forgotten and what she intended to do to her.As Hetian Xiaom said, a person really shouldn't wrong themselves.Shutai looked at Feng Lingxi's maidservants behind her,...
