Chapter 783: Imprisonment 43

will come back later to pay my respects."Zhang nodded, watching her leave with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.Feng Lingxi left her mother's courtyard and rushed to Liu Shi's courtyard. When Liu S..."I understand what you mean. Stay with me and finish dinner together, then go back later. The Four Princes' Mansion is holding a banquet tonight. If you go back now, you might be late."

The Empress Dowager Cen's care for Feng Lingxi had lessened Feng Lingxi's previous resentment towards her considerably. That was the nature of Empress Dowager Cen, she would take advantage of anyone who benefited her, before considering the pros and cons of a situation, all she cared about was the size of the profit.

If it weren't for Prince Pingbei's visit to the capital this time, she probably wouldn't have been able to enjoy such peace and comfort in the palace during these stormy days. She hasn't given any news these past few days.

" Empress Dowager, is Her Majesty the Empress still offering incense at the Phoenix Hall"

Yes, this empress had Zhang Mama go and take a look several times. She has been quite well-behaved.

Cen Taizi looked at Feng Lingxi's deep-thinking eyes and asked in doubt, "How come, you don't believe what Ai Jia said"

"Of course not, I was just asking. These days, after I went to prison, she has been practicing Buddhism in the Phoenix Hall. It seems quite peaceful, unlike her usual self." Feng Linglong made a wrong move this time. She probably won't be able to stir up trouble for a while.

It seems she really overthought things.

"If you wish to take a look, this humble one will have Zhang Mama accompany you. We can return for a meal afterward."

"Alright."

Feng Lingxi still couldn't resist her curiosity about Feng Yu Xi. Now that Lan Fei was in this state, they were actually getting along peacefully. As for the affairs of the harem, she just needed to stay within her boundaries, and Lan Fei wouldn't bother her. It was Feng Yu Xi that she wasn't so sure about.

"Grandma Zhang, accompany the Fourth Princess and don't allow anyone to bully her."

"The old slave obeys."

Wind Lingxi smiled slightly at Empress Cen and got up to leave Shou'an Palace for the Phoenix Pavilion.

"Grandmother Zhang, I have something to ask you. Has the Emperor gone to the Phoenix Pavilion recently"

Zhang Mam said, "As far as I know, she hasn't." After a moment's thought, she added, "I did hear that Lan Fei had gone to visit the Empress twice, but both times she was turned away by the Empress and not allowed to see her."

"Where is Lan Fei"

Feng Lingxi frowned, she knew the relationship between Lan Fei and Feng Yu Xi. Feng Yu Xi was afraid of being ridiculed by Lan Fei, so she avoided her. Was there another reason for avoiding her

The intrigues in the imperial harem were truly tiresome. Zhang Ma told Feng Lingxi about Lan Fei's recent situation. It seemed that during a Buddhist ceremony at Fenyi Hall, while Yu Xi was present, Du Gu Yan showered Lan Fei with affection, making her the most enviable woman in the entire palace.

Upon arriving at the Fengyi Palace, Zhang Mama's arrival caused a stir among the palace maids. Upon hearing that Zhang Mama was here to inform them that the Fourth Princess Consort wanted to see the Empress, the maids panicked and hurried to report it to the empress.

Feng Lingxi looked at the panicked expression on the maid's face, and couldn't help but look doubtfully at the tightly closed palace door. She wasn't a demon or ghost, she was here to see Feng Yu Xi, so why were they panicking like this

"Is Her Majesty the Empress not inside" Feng Lingxi's eyes were fixed on the entrance of the hall. The head palace maid hurriedly said, "Fourth Princess, the Empress has instructed that she will see no one. I hope the Fourth Princess will forgive her."

"Tell her you said I'm looking for her, she'll want to see me."

Feng Lingxi's confidence made the palace maid hesitate for a moment. Zhang Ma Ma, standing beside her, narrowed her eyes, "What Still dawdling"

"Fourth Royal Princess, please wait a moment, I will go report this immediately."

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhang Mamá beside her, "Zhang Mamá, will you accompany me in a while I haven't seen the Empress in a long time, I'm afraid she won't be happy to see me."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the old slave will follow you."

Thank you.

When Zhang Mamá heard Feng Ling Xi's thanks to her, she straightened her back even more. The Fourth Princess always treated her maidservants with courtesy, and she had already heard that if she could hear a thank you from the princess, it would be an honor.

"Please, Your Highness the Fourth Princess."

The maidservant rushed out, "Your Majesty the Empress requests your presence."

Feng Lingxi and Zhang Mama entered together. The Fengyi Hall was covered with Buddha statues, making it look like a temple. What surprised Feng Lingxi the most was that Feng Yuxi wore plain clothes, without makeup, giving off an air of detachment from the mundane world.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

Wind and rain, Xi Mei's eyes slightly lifted, gesturing for her to take a seat, "Fourth Princess, please be at ease, sit down and speak."

Grandma Zhang stood aside, and Feng Yu Xi Nature naturally saw it.

"Fourth Princess, it's been some time since we last met. You are even more beautiful than before, though you seem to have lost some weight."

"The Empress has also been like this, these days practicing Buddhism and it has been hard work."

The polite greetings felt hollow. As the palace maids served tea, Feng Lingxi took a sip from her cup, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Your Majesty, I'm here today to tell you that General Feng has returned to his mansion."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yu Xi did not show any surprise, but instead remained calm.

"Judging by the tone of your words, it seems you're quite pleased with Grandpa's return this time."

Wind Rain Twilight's eyes lifted slightly, looking at Feng Ling Xi. The unfathomable look in her eyes made Feng Ling Xi feel Wind Rain Twilight's change, it seemed, truly different.

"General Feng's personality is naturally different from that of Wind Aotian. I believe Empress Dowager already knows this."

Feng Lingxi spoke, her eyes fixed on her. Feng Yu Xi lowered her head and stared at the tea in front of her, taking a sip lightly. A smile suddenly bloomed on her lips, "This palace has been here every day, paying respects to the Buddha, uninformed about anything outside. If Fourth Royal Princess wishes to come here to inquire about news, I'm afraid she will be disappointed."

"Your Majesty is too kind. I'm not here to gather intel, just to tell you this. Besides, I've been busy lately and just wanted to chat with someone."

"When did the Fourth Princess want to find someone to chat with, she had to come to this Palace"

Feng Yu Xi Yi Jiu Mian Wu Biaoqing, na Pingjing de Lian Shang Miao Wu Qingzhu Bo Dong. Even in the wind and rain, Xi Yi Jiu remained impassive, his face betraying no emotion.

Feng Lingxi smiled, watching her like this. She actually found it quite rare for them to be chatting so peacefully, which was rather nice.

"When there's a shared topic, people can naturally chat together. The Empress recently made some progress in her Buddhist practice, it seems. Perhaps I should learn from the Empress when I have free time."

Feng Yu Xi's eyes swept over the Fourth Princess. "Princess, is there anything else you need If not, this Palace needs to bathe and change, then go pay respects at the temple."

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing I'd like to ask you. I don't know if you are familiar with the owner of Tianxiang Building"

Feng Ling Xi's words fell, and Feng Yu Xi raised her head to look at her. In the gaze between them, Feng Ling Xi saw doubt in Feng Yu Xi's eyes. Feng Ling Xi's heart was uncertain, but Feng Yu Xi's eyes wouldn't lie. It seemed she truly didn't know.

"Must I meet him"

Feng Lingxi rose to her feet, "No, I'm just curious. Lately, all the nobles in the capital want to meet him. I was just curious and wanted to ask, thinking that the Empress Dowager would know who he is."

Feng Yu Xi held the teacup, taking a sip of tea. Her eyes held a depth and thoughtfulness that outsiders couldn't see. Feng Ling Xi, looking at Feng Yu Xi like this, could only say that she had changed too much over this period of time. his doting tone, Feng Lingxi's heart actually fluctuated because of this sentence. Suddenly, she had a feeling that it would be quite good to have such a man by her side, anyway, they were already hu...
