Chapter 1452: War Clouds Gather (273)
must be quite high in the Yao clan. In that case, why not just give you the Yao clan.""The identity of a Yao ethnic holy maiden is not something that can be given away as you please!""Fine, then you g..."Master, how did you get here"
The Divine Physician Yuan hurried into the carriage, "Of course I was waiting here. I saw you enter the city and followed you all the way. Master has already bought a house here. Don't stay at an inn, go back to live there."
Wind Ling nodded, Yuan Xiu drove the carriage back to Yuanfu and stopped it.
"Girl, to avoid exposing your identity, this plaque uses your master's surname. This deed is yours."
Feng Lingxi smiled, "Master, we're all family. What's the point of talking about this Here's the deed to the house."
Over the years, she has treated her master like her own father. Her master is truly kind to their family of three. Money is an external thing, and Feng Lingxi doesn't lack it.
Yuan Xiu hurriedly brought Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi down, watching the two children fall asleep, he quickly said, "Let them sleep for a while, we'll call them when it's time to eat."
Tao Su hurriedly helped Feng Siyu go inside. There was no one else in the mansion, it was Yuan Xiu handling everything himself.
After Feng Lingxi put down the child, Changming and Taosu helped tidy up the house. They were busy for an hour before finally finishing dinner.
"Girl, this old master has heard, your Wan'er girl is really here."
Feng Lingxi nodded, "I came because I got the news. I also heard it just now when I arrived."
Yuan Xiu nodded, a smug look on his face. "You're right, the Lu family is truly wealthy. The news of Wan'er's return spread like wildfire, and the entire capital is buzzing about it, including your business."
"What did they say"
Feng Lingxi's expression was calm, with not much interest.
Yuánxiū wore a mysterious expression, “Guess.”
"Discussing our identities"
"Envy, jealousy, hate They say Lu family's eldest daughter is as beautiful as a fairy, they say the Lu family is blessed to finally have a daughter, they even say you are amazing for giving them a daughter."
Yuanxiu spoke, his heart full of doubts.
"You said the Lu family really loves their daughter. They got a daughter and are just as happy as if they'd won the lottery!"
Feng Lingxi looked at her master's smile and said calmly, "Isn't there a saying that what you can't get is the most valuable It should be like this."
"That's not quite right either. I heard something else, that the night you stayed at the Lu Mansion, purple qi surged into the heavens. Because of this, the Emperor intends to have his eldest grandson marry you."
Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to look at her master, seeing him nod, her face full of disbelief.
"You said to have the Crown Prince marry me"
Isn't this a joke to her
"Master, I'm already the mother of three children. Isn't the Emperor playing a joke on me"
"As his teacher, I find it baffling too. But there's no smoke without fire. The capital is abuzz with this news, how could it be false"
Yuan Xiu looked at Feng Ling Xi's tightly furrowed brows and soothed, "What are you afraid of Even the Crown Prince is willing to marry you, what do you have to be afraid of"
Wind Ling Xi saw her master raise an eyebrow and shake his head. "Master, don't joke around," she said. "This isn't funny at all. Think about it, what kind of identity does the Crown Prince have I'm the mother of three children. Would he really be sincere in marrying me"
"Xiao Feng is right, if the crown prince truly wanted to marry Xiao Feng, he wouldn't be doing it out of genuine love. He would be motivated by the purple qi from that night. This purple qi signifies a dragon vein; if the marriage were truly for this reason, Xiao Feng wouldn't find happiness."
"Well, you're not letting go, are you"
Yuanxiu stared at Taosu, his tone laced with a hint of amusement. Taosu's expression remained as placid as ever. "I consider Xiaofeng a friend, so I naturally worry about her. You are Xiaofeng's master, and I believe you understand better than I whether what I said was right or wrong."
"Tao Su is right. If the emperor wanted to make a match, it would definitely have something to do with purple air, and I wouldn't agree."
How could the emperor of this Xi country be so absurd, coming up with such a preposterous idea Not to mention that she is already married, even her temperament wouldn't allow her to agree to enter the palace as a crown princess.
Yuan Xiu saw Feng Ling's resistance and subconsciously glanced at Tao Su, "Girl, you have someone you like, so you don't want to enter the palace as the imperial concubine"
"Master, if I truly wanted to be something, wouldn't I have become it already"
Initially, she had a betrothal with Huangfu Qingyun, but she still chose Dugucheng. Because she was already married, it wouldn't delay Huangfu Qingyun, nor would she agree to a marriage with Arah Xia because of the betrothal.
"You're quite lucky in love, little girl. But this Crown Prince... you'd better handle him well. Tomorrow, go back and talk to the Lu family properly. They'll surely have a way." Yuan Xiushen didn't continue teasing Ling Xi. He knew this girl was stubborn and wouldn't budge if she said no. Talking more would be useless, and he was too lazy to bother.
Feng Lingxi responded, and when she mentioned the Lu family, her expression noticeably darkened.
"Master, I'm going back tomorrow. I think I'll leave Siyu and Siqi behind for now. I'll wait until I've finished my business before bringing them."
Feng Lingxi thought about it and still decided to leave the two children here.
Now that there's a new crown prince, she doesn't want their identities exposed to the public, lest they be targeted.
"Just bring it, you go busy yourself. We're all our own people here in this household, so safe and sound."
Yuanxiu looked at Taosu, "Tomorrow you will go to the Lu family with the maid. It just so happens that you also need to ask the Lu family for help."
Tao Su looked at Feng Ling Xi and nodded, agreeing.
"Then I won't go to Lu's house with you all, I'll just wait here for you to come back."
Chang Ming chuckled, "I'll also help Yuan Xiu, the divine physician, take care of the two children."
Feng Lingxi responded, "Then I'll trouble you."
"Mother, you don't have to tell us, we all listen to you."
Feng Siyu opened his mouth, knowing that his mother wanted to say something to them, but he was hesitant to speak for fear of displeasing them.
"Now, you all follow Grandpa. Don't wander off. When Mother sees your elder sister, she will bring her to meet you."
"Okay."
Feng Siqi's eyes shone with excitement. She really liked her older sister; having another sister meant she had a playmate.
Feng Lingxi hadn't expected that the very next day, as soon as they arrived at the Lu family, they would encounter people from the palace. They happened to bump into them right at the front gate. Feng Lingxi and Tao Su didn't approach, but watched from the side. It wasn't uncommon for people from the palace to move about in the Lu family, but today was different. There were many things being brought in, and the arrangement looked like a betrothal procession.
"It seems the Crown Prince still cares for you quite a bit."
Tao Su gazed at the grand entrance of the Imperial Palace, watching the dowry being carried in. How many people could afford such a generous dowry Any family would be tempted if their daughter received such a large sum, let alone marrying the Crown Prince who would become the Emperor one day. To marry him was to become Empress, holding the esteemed title of "Mother of the Nation."
"It's pretty good, but unfortunately, I'm not interested."
Feng Lingxi's words made Tao Su laugh, "Xiao Feng, if they heard this, they would probably be furious."
If I cared about the position of Empress, I would have been Empress years ago. Why wait until todayThis matter is no longer a secret within the tribe."When he was shaken out, the faces of the other elders turned pale with panic. They lowered their heads and avoided eye contact.Feng Lingxi looked at...
