he name of this Lone City War God is not undeserved. If a real war broke out between the two countries, they would undoubtedly be defeated."Mother, you didn't say it like this to your son before, did..."Hold on, go and call the Princess Consort to me. Tell her that the Crown Prince has arrived."
Dugu Cheng pondered for a moment before opening his mouth. Ye Xi, looking at her own King, kindly reminded, "Your Highness, are you trying to reconcile the Crown Prince and his Princess"
"Just go if you're going, don't waste so many words."
Whenever he thought of this, Du Gucheng felt very displeased. Every time he imagined the prince talking with Feng Lingxi, and Feng Lingxi smiling at the prince, he would feel furious, like an outsider. Today, he would let the prince know that if he wanted to steal his woman, there was no way.
Ye Xi was scolded, touched his nose, and hurriedly went to call someone.
Du Gu Cheng watched as the Crown Prince walked over to him, approached him, and greeted him, "Your Highness, what brings you to my residence"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan remained unfazed, a smile gracing her lips as she said, "Brother Four's safe return brings great joy to this palace. I came to see if there's anything Brother Four needs help with."
獨孤城看著他臉上的笑容,招呼著他到旁邊的亭子坐下說話,婢女奉茶後,獨孤城纔開口說,“王爺多謝太子關心,雖然這次差點回不來,但也是有驚無險,皇上給王爺還娶了個京城第一美人做王妃,王爺彆無所求。”
Dugu Cheng looked at the smile on his face and beckoned him to sit down in a nearby pavilion. After the maidservant served tea, Dugu Cheng spoke, "Your Highness, thank you for your concern. Although I almost didn't return this time, it was all right in the end. The Emperor even gave me a wife, the first beauty of the capital. Your Highness, I have nothing else to ask for."
獨孤雁聽到他這話,臉上笑容不減,恭賀道,“四弟豔福不淺,凱旋歸來,還有如此美人為妃,令本宮很是羨慕,本宮若不是東宮,倒是也想和四弟一般,上陣殺敵,保家衛國。”
"My lord, the princess has arrived."
Ye Xi stepped forward to report, and Dugu Yan raised her head to see Feng Lingxi striding towards her. Looking at her wearing a simple dress, she was even more beautiful than those with heavy makeup. Her heart tightened. After recovering from her illness, Xi'er seemed even more beautiful than before.
Now, her eyes were cold enough to make him stop short.
"My love, come here and meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Dugu City beckoned with a hand, his eyes full of affection as he introduced Feng Lingxi. Feng Lingxi bowed gracefully, "Feng Lingxi has met Your Highness."
Dugu Yan watched as she curtsied to him, wanting to rise and help her up, but Feng Lingxi dodged his hand. This action made Dugu Yan's face very unsightly, his heart aching painfully.
"Xier, you..."
Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes, her gaze cold. "Your Highness, I am now the Fourth Princess Consort. Please address me as Fourth Princess Consort or sister-in-law."
"Prince, Consort, did you two know each other before"
Dugu Cheng wore an expression of astonishment. Feng Lingxi swept him with her cold eyes and explained lightly, "Your Highness, before I was married, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once played chess with me at General's Manor."
"My beloved, you're so mischievous. I wonder, now that you're married to me, shouldn't your title change From now on, address yourself as '臣妾' before me, understand"
Dugu Cheng said indulgently, his eyes made Feng Lingxi gnash her teeth. She naturally knew these terms, but she didn't want to.
"Fourth brother, your sister-in-law was just recovering from a serious illness before marrying you. Before this, I played chess with her at the General's Mansion. Her chess skills were so profound that they left me in awe. I wonder if she would be willing to play a game with me"
Dugu Yan's request made Feng Lingxi frown, politely refusing, "Your Highness, I'm not feeling well. Perhaps the King can accompany you in playing chess."
"My beloved, come here."
Dugu Cheng beckoned to her, motioning for her to sit beside him. Feng Lingxi had wanted to refuse, but seeing Dugu Yan's gaze on her, she endured her displeasure and walked over to sit beside Dugu Cheng. Looking at his doting eyes, one would think she and Dugu Cheng were deeply in love. This hypocrisy made her want to flip the table.
"Your Highness, my consort is feeling unwell. Perhaps I could accompany you for a few rounds of Go while she rests What do you think"
Dugu Yan watched Feng Lingxi avoid his gaze, so he could only respond.
At the start of the game, Dugu City's gaze fell on Feng Lingxi and the prince. Looking at the prince's eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi, his eyes grew colder, but the smile on his face remained, leaving Feng Lingxi feeling very uncomfortable.
His gaze seemed to imply that she and the Crown Prince had been involved in some clandestine affair.
"How is your sister-in-law adjusting to life in the Fourth Prince's Manor"
Feng Lingxi’s movements froze slightly as she looked up at Dugu Yan. She asked calmly, “Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My younger sister and I are doing very well here. The King and my Empress are very kind to me.”
"That's perfect."
Dugu Yan's Adam's apple rolled, so many words he wanted to tell Xi'er alone, but her current attitude seemed that she didn't want any relationship with him at all.
Such a strange Xi'er made him feel unfamiliar, so he stopped and didn't go any further.
"Prince, you lost."
Dugu Cheng placed a piece on the board. Dugu Yan looked at the chessboard and put down her own piece. "It seems that this palace's chess skills are truly becoming worse than before, Fourth Brother. This palace should return now and won't disturb you any longer."
"Prince, take care."
Looking at Dugu Yan's leaving figure, Feng Lingxi turned around. Dugu Yan suddenly grabbed her arm, and Feng Lingxi looked at him, "What are you doing"
"Feng Lingxi, were you and the Crown Prince acquainted before"
Dugu Cheng's grip on her hand was very strong, hurting her. Feng Lingxi pulled her hand away, but Dugu Cheng refused to let go. This made Feng Lingxi very angry, she glared at him, "Dugu Cheng, let go."
"Answer my questions."
Du Gu Cheng was unwilling to let it go. Looking at the Prince’s gaze towards her, that deeply affectionate look made him furious. His woman being so cherished by another man, how could he just ignore it
Feng Lingxi shook off his hand, "If you really want to know, then I'll tell you, I don't know."
"You don't know what it means"
Dugu Cheng watched her about to leave and stopped her, "Tell me clearly what's going on."
Feng Ling xi took a deep breath, looking at him like this now, she really didn't understand what he wanted
"Du Gu Cheng, after I recovered from my illness, I don't remember anything that happened before. It's just like you, I've forgotten everything from the past. Therefore, when you ask me if I had any relationship with the Prince before, I'm sorry, I don't even know myself, how can I tell you."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking in one breath, and Dugu Cheng looked at her in astonishment, "Have you lost your memory"
"Yes."
Dugu Cheng looked at her current personality, and thinking back to the rumors about Miss Feng Si before, he understood why he felt she was completely different from the legend. It turned out that she had forgotten about past events.
Has the Crown Prince said anything to you
Dugu Cheng continued to ask, looking at her impatient expression, and explained, "This king just wants to know if you had any relationship with him before. Feng Lingxi, don't think that this king is jealous. This king just wants to figure out your relationship with him. If you two are in love, this king will consider giving you back your freedom."
When he said he would give her freedom, Feng Lingxi's eyes flashed. If she were to say that she and the Crown Prince loved each other, would he divorce herll of the emperor's grandson's people have left, let's go in."Wind Lingxi glanced at the surrounding people who had dispersed, and then went to Lu's house with Tao Su. The Lu family had quite a few pe...
