Chapter 779: Prison 39

g Lingxi smiled, "Let's go, we won't worry about this anymore, let them be anxious.""Them" Xiaoli looked at the Princess in confusion, "Are you talking about the King"Feng Lingxi smiled but said nothi..."What could be more important than adding to the Duke's Mansion"

Pingxi Wang raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased with Feng Lingxi's actions. Shutai, hearing this, felt a bit embarrassed, "This Xi'er hasn't said she doesn't want children, it's just that the circumstances don't allow..."

"Among the three major unfilial acts, having no descendants is the greatest. It's been a year since you got married and you still haven't conceived. If this gets out, won't people laugh at us"

"Prince Pingxi, you are wrong to say that. My granddaughter has many things to attend to after her marriage. Even if she becomes pregnant, there is no guarantee that the child will be born safely. This matter has nothing to do with you, so why are you getting so excited I, as her grandfather, am not even worried."

The words of General Feng chilled the face of King Pingxi. Though all three kings were bestowed titles by the emperor, Feng Cangkai had followed the former emperor on campaigns. Had he not retired and returned home, a title of duke or marquess was surely his.

Even though they were many, these princes still had to give him some face.

"General Feng said that since it's only been a year since their marriage, the Fourth Princess Consort is still young, and with so many things happening, having a child can wait." Prince Pingnan spoke up. He was different from Prince Xiping. He didn't have the same thoughts as him and wasn't trying to win over the Fourth Prince.

When King Pingxi heard what King Pannan said, his face darkened.

"Does Prince Pingnan mean that this prince has meddled too much"

The flames of war were about to ignite. As Prince Pingnan was about to speak, he saw Feng Lingxi already changed and walking over. She just happened to hear what Prince Pingxi said, a chill in her eyes, though she didn't show it on her face.

“Mother, today the King of Pingxi, the King of Pinfan, and General Feng came to visit. Why not have them stay for dinner before heading back I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare something.”

Feng Lingxi, though speaking like that, showed no intention of letting them dine. She walked to Shu Taifei's side, bowed respectfully, and sat beside Feng Cangkai.

"Xiaoli, go to the kitchen and prepare."

"I'm not here for a meal. I simply came to reminisce with the Imperial Noble Consort."

King Pingxi's voice carried a hint of coldness and arrogance. He disdainfully responded to Feng Lingxi's invitation, expecting Empress Shu to plead with her. However, Feng Lingxi quickly replied, "I was out of line. King Pingxi has just returned to the capital and must have many engagements. In that case, I won't keep you."

Nearby, King Pingnan's gaze shifted towards Feng Lingxi. He had heard rumors about this Fourth Princess Consort; she was the one who managed to clear the charges of poisoning the late emperor from Empress Cen, and even earned the empress's leniency. How could she possibly be without any means

Before Lu Juzhou could speak, Feng Lingxi turned to King Pingnan, a slight smile playing on her lips. “King Pingnan, I wonder if you have any engagements. If not, perhaps you would stay and dine with us”

King Pingnan was slightly surprised and looked at Feng Cangkai. Seeing him raise an eyebrow, as if displeased with Feng Lingxi, he was about to speak when Taifei Shu spoke up, "If there's nothing else, why don't you all dine together It's more lively with so many people."

Then I'll excuse myself.

"Girl, why didn't you ask me to stay for dinner"

Feng Cangkai's tone was very displeased, not wanting anyone to see his joke.

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "General Feng, where did you get that idea You're my grandfather! How could I possibly leave you out Even if it's not a formal banquet, you're always welcome for a simple meal."

Feng Lingxi's words immediately caused Feng Cangkai's eyebrows to rise with a smile. "My grandson," he said, his eyes twinkling with delight. This girl acknowledged him as her grandfather! In other words, she implied that there was no need for him to act so surprised.

"That's good, Grandfather thought you were angry with me yesterday."

"Yesterday"

Hearing Feng Cangkai's words, Shutai concubine hurriedly looked at Feng Lingxi, "Xi'er, did you meet with General Feng yesterday"

"That's right, I met Xi'er on my way back to Beijing yesterday. She was treating sick children among the disaster victims. The Empress Dowager is unaware of this. Those officials are truly despicable. They drove the affected people out of the city and treated them as rioters. If it weren't for Xi'er, who knows how many innocent people would have died This matter must be thoroughly investigated. The world is beneath our feet; we cannot tolerate such corrupt officials."

Shutai looked at Feng Lingxi with surprise. Seeing her nod, she turned to Pingxi Wang and Pannan Wang.

"Do you two know about this"

"This king has just been informed that his son has gone to handle it."

Pingnan Wang's words caused Shu Taifei to think of the still-hidden Crown Prince, her eyes full of admiration.

"Pingnan Wang is still as efficient as ever."

Hearing the praises Shu Taifei showered upon Pingnan Wang, King Pingshi's face darkened. He wanted to speak, but found no words to interject.

Feng Lingxi looked at Pingxi Wang's expression, the corners of her lips slightly raised. Her beautiful eyes swept over Luo Juzhou beside her and suddenly spoke.

"Pingxi Wang, it seems that Princess Luo has also reached marriageable age, hasn't she"

Luo Juzhou heard Feng Lingxi's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, just about to speak, Feng Lingxi spoke again, "I wonder if King Pingxi has found a suitable candidate for her"

Feng Ling Xi's words made the atmosphere at the scene a bit awkward.

Has the Fourth Princess found a suitable candidate yet

Pingxi Wang was puzzled. Could it be that these four princesses were planning to have Zhou'er enter the household

If so, then all the better.

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, “Miss Jun is the pearl in Prince Pingxi’s palm. The matter of marriage should be left to Prince Pingxi to decide. I just feel that Miss Luo's status is noble, and she wouldn't be suitable for an ordinary family. Among these royal princes and nobles, most eligible bachelors are already married, making it rather difficult.”

Prince Pingxi's eyes turned cold. She stopped speaking mid-sentence.

"The little boat and Fourth Prince have been childhood sweethearts. This king is indeed willing to let her marry into the palace, but I'm afraid that the current Fourth Princess has other intentions."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, was this so direct

Feng Cangkai heard that King Pingxi was going to give Luo Juzhou to Dugu City. His face darkened, "King Pingxi, this is not right. The four kings have already married my granddaughter as their concubines. It would be a disservice to the Luo County Lord if she were only given the position of a side concubine in the Wangfu."

"General Sun, doesn't Zuo feel wronged"

Luo Juzhou saw this and hurriedly spoke up, her eagerness clearly showing; she truly seemed to want to marry into the Prince's Manor immediately.

Feng Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Luo Juzhou, "Lady Luo really doesn't mind entering the mansion as a concubine"

Luo Juzhou clenched his fists, looking at Feng Lingxi's lofty gaze with envy, but he didn't dare to show it.

If the boat can enter the mansion, then that is enough.

You wouldn't mind, but Prince Pingxi would certainly mind. After all, as a concubine, she'd be one rank lower than you. She'd have to serve the prince and give birth to an heir for him. Could Princess Luo accept that

Feng Lingxi's words turned Luo Juzhou's pretty face as pale as paper.

Have I given her a warning by saying this

She was the county princess of Pingxi王府. When had she ever been spoken to like this, told to serve others Couldn't she be served by others

Feng Lingxi saw her biting her lip, her eyes fixed on King Pingxi.

Since Prince Pingxi didn't speak, he was acquiescing. Might as well choose a good day and auspicious time for this. The back yard of the Four Royal Mansions has been empty for over a year. Having more people around would be a good thing. Who knows, maybe in three years we'll have twins! Then the back yard of the mansion could be lively again.

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and looked at Shu Taifei, “Mother Consort, what do you think”esson is, I will definitely try my best."Feng Yu Xi's composure pleased Tai Hou Cen, who nodded in satisfaction. However, this scene fell into Mo Huai Lan's eyes, making her jealousy rage uncontrolla...
