Chapter 371: Revenge 15
Nian Nian's presents were as uninspired as ever, lost interest."Prime Minister, this palace has heard that your granddaughter is exceptionally skilled at playing the qin. Have you prepared a performa..."Who told you that"
Windling saw Empress Dowager Cen and immediately explained, "Your Majesty, Yao Hua has been in the capital for some time. The last time she left the palace, she heard people talking about it and was curious."
"What does Na Yao Hua think of my making Ling Xi dance wildly"
Instead of answering, Empress Cen asked her back, only the look in Feng Lingxi's eyes had changed from before.
This Princess Yaohua was vying for favor, and once this touched her bottom line, how could Empress Cen not suspect her
Feng Lingxi seriously considered for a moment, “Yao Hua thinks that since Feng Lingxi poisoned the previous emperor, Empress Dowager Cen naturally wanted to bring her back to give the previous emperor an explanation.”
"You mean I didn't go after them for the treasure map they were talking about"
“The entire Yuan Dynasty belonged to the Empress Dowager. The Yuan Dynasty was powerful and prosperous, with a rich country and peaceful people. How could the Empress Dowager want any treasure maps Even if Feng Lingxi really had a treasure map, it belonged to the Yuan Dynasty and should be handed over to the court.”
The coldness on Empress Cen's face gradually dissipated, and looking into Feng Lingxi's eyes filled with sincerity, she spoke in a calm voice.
"As expected of my beloved child, you see things so clearly. You're right, everything Feng Lingxi possesses belongs to the court, whether or not there is a real treasure map, it all belongs to the court."
Feng Lingxi responded, "Of course. Feng Lingxi is a subject of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and everything she has belongs to the imperial court."
Empress Cen was delighted by these words.
"I did not raise you for nothing, after all."
Feng Lingxi continued to massage Empress Cen's legs and shoulders, "Empress, please spare Feng Lingxi, will the Fourth Prince really be kind to me"
Empress Cen frowned, looking at Yao Hua's certain worry, "What do you mean by that Are you saying the Empress shouldn't forgive Feng Lingxi"
Feng Lingxi lowered her eyes, "Yao Hua, what merits and abilities could she possibly have to receive such favor from the Empress Dowager No wonder the other concubines in the palace are all jealous."
"They're just jealous because they lack the capacity. Back then, I treated them all well, didn't I If only they were as devoted as you are, wouldn't they all be my beloved darlings now"
Feng Lingxi sweetly smiled, taking Empress Cen's hand and acting coquettishly.
"It turns out Yaohua is the most beloved person of Empress Dowager's heart."
As he spoke, he also reached out and poked at Taihou's heart. Such a gesture made Taihou laugh.
"You, little girl, could it be that you don't want this imperial consort to favor you"
Of course.
Feng Lingxi looked at the smile on Empress Cen's face and hurriedly asked, "Empress, are you feeling better now"
"Much better."
Empress Dowager Cen looked at Feng Lingxi earnestly kneading her shoulders, "Yaohua, I've been so kind to you, you can't betray me."
Feng Lingxi's hand that was kneading the shoulders froze, Cen Taizi looked back at her, "What is it"
Wind Lingxi came back to her senses and pouted, "Empress Dowager, you scared Yao Hua. Why did you suddenly say this Did Yao Hua do something wrong"
"Oh, you child! I was just joking, and you're scared like that."
Cen Taizi looked at her nervously, perhaps she had overthought things.
Isn't it just about asking about the treasure map Could it be that she, as a princess, couldn't even compete with her for the treasure
"It's getting late, you should go to Shu Taifei's."
Feng Ling quickly got up and said, "Then Yao Hua should go to greet Taifei Shu first."
"Go quickly, and remember to bring her supplements. In a few days, she'll be your mother-in-law."
Feng Lingxi nodded shyly, and Empress Cen hurriedly instructed Liu Ma to bring up the prepared bird's nest. Feng Lingxi took it with Xiao Li and went to Shutai's side.
"Your Majesty Empress Dowager, how did this Princess Yao Hua suddenly ask about the treasure Won't she cause trouble"
"Nanny Liu, unconcernedly asked, 'These days, I've been teaching her etiquette, and she seems to be doing well. I can't see anything amiss. Her behavior and mannerisms don't seem to be problematic either.'"
"After all, she is the little princess of the Huang Xia Dynasty. There's only one princess in the Huang Xia Dynasty. Besides being willful and capricious, her heart is kind."
After a massage organized by Empress Cen, I feel much more comfortable.
"Your Majesty, since you admire Princess Yao Hua so much, why not allow her to reside in the inner court She is certainly preferable to those others."
After Liu Ma finished speaking, Empress Cen's eyebrows twitched slightly, "This imperial concubine does want her to be with the Emperor. If this were to happen, then we wouldn't have to worry about Duguo City anymore. The only problem is that Yao Hua refuses to agree."
"I believe that if Princess Yao Hua were to become the Emperor's concubine, even if she initially refused, she would eventually agree."
"Grandmother Liu, this plan is not appropriate. The Emperor would never agree to it."
"Grand Empress, please rest assured. This matter is entrusted to me. I guarantee that Princess Yaohua will become the Emperor's person."
Empress Dowager Cen frowned. At this juncture, if she truly put Yao Hua and the Emperor together, it would fulfill her wish. The imperial harem had no heirs so far. If Yao Hua could give the Emperor a prince or princess, then the position of empress would be hers as well.
It's a good thing that she has someone caring by her side.
When
"This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, why not tonight The Empress Dowager will have Princess Yaohua accompany you for dinner tonight, and she'll invite the Emperor as well."
After Liu Mama's suggestion, Empress Cen smiled and nodded.
The Empress stood aside, listening to their schemes against Princess Yao Hua. She suddenly felt sorry for Princess Yao Hua, to even be treated this way during a marriage alliance.
The Empress spoke, the Emperor will certainly take Princess Yaohua as his consort. Once that happens, with Princess Yaohua residing in the palace, will she be able to keep her position as Empress
"Your Majesty, did you understand what I just said Please handle informing the Emperor."
"This servant obeys."
Then Empress Cen waved her hand. "Go now, this Imperial Consort is tired and needs to rest."
The Empress left Shou'an Palace, pondering what the Dowager Empress had just said. This Yao Hua Princess was also a princess sent to marry into another family, rushing to see the Fourth Prince. If she truly ended up with the Emperor, this marriage would be like any other arranged marriage. However, her position as Empress would be threatened. It seemed she needed to find a way to inform Princess Yao Hua and also the Fourth Prince.
Since he agreed to marry Princess YaoHua and the wedding date is set, he wouldn't allow Princess YaoHua and the Emperor to be together.
No matter what, he's going to give it his all.
Windling returned from Lady Shou's, and as soon as she lay down, Xiao Li called out, "Princess, there is a note."
"What are you writing"
Feng Lingxi was so tired that she didn't even want to move, she just wanted to take a nap.
The schemes and tricks in this palace never cease, she's almost forgotten what her true self even looks like.
"Your Highness, look."
Xiao Li handed her a note. Feng Ling Xi took it and glanced at it, her face darkening.
"Who gave you this note"
“I don’t know, it was pressed under the water pot. I wanted to pour water for the princess and only found it then.”
Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes. This person told her that tonight, the Empress Dowager was going to scheme and have her sleep with the Emperor in the palace. Could it be someone from her own familythrew a sentence, asking Feng Lingxi to take care of Feng Siqi before quickly using his light kung fu to catch up.The thief ran down several alleys, thinking he had lost the pursuers behind him. Just...
