Chapter 140: Fighting on the Bed 104

r seat and looked at the two of them, asking, “Have you found any clues”“According to the Lord's orders, my subordinates investigated Tianxiang Building and found no clues about the whereabouts of its...The Concubine Shui was summoned. She dressed herself up and hurried to the dining hall. Seeing Dugu Cheng there, her stunning face blushed with shyness. Her adoring gaze made Dugu Cheng feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I have seen Lord Wang and Lady Wang, sister."

獨孤城 listened to her voice, his whole body aching with discomfort.

This little ingénue, you'd think she was made of gold just looking at her. Don't they all know women are supposed to be a bit more down-to-earth

Xi'er is also a woman, isn't she She wouldn't act like this, listening to it would be uncomfortable.

"My Lord, Consort Shui is paying her respects to you, but you don't acknowledge her"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, who had been silent for half a while. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Dugu City heard Xi'er calling him and hurriedly asked, "Xi'er, what did you say This king didn't hear clearly just now."

Feng Lingxi looked at his absent-minded expression. This delicate concubine dared to speak to him, and he was still distracted. What a strange person.

"The concubine Shui Ci greets you."

Dugu Cheng glanced at Shui Ce Fei, meeting her gaze that was filled with love and longing. He shivered involuntarily, goosebumps popping up all over him.

Let's have dinner.

"Thank you, Lord."

Shui Cifei sat beside him. Dugu Cheng hurriedly shifted closer to Feng Lingxi's side. Such a move caused Shui Cifei's face to stiffen slightly, but she still had to maintain a smile and endure the coldness from her lord.

"Xier, eat more later, they are all prepared for you by this king's kitchen."

Feng Lingxi looked at the dishes that were brought up. Dugu Cheng had just filled her a bowl of chicken soup. His gentle manner made Shui Side Concubine's eyes almost burn with jealousy. She had just married into the mansion, and on her wedding night there was nothing. The first time she dined with the King, she would be treated so coldly by the King.

While Feng Lingxi was able to make the Prince treat her with such tenderness, most importantly, Feng Lingxi's attitude towards the Prince was neither cold nor hot, and the Prince actually liked it very much.

She truly didn't understand, why was she inferior to Feng Lingxi She was the emperor's niece and the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Water Affairs.

Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu Cheng kept putting dishes on her plate. He said this one was good, and that one was delicious, until her bowl was almost overflowing. His attentiveness was quite different from the rumors she'd heard about him.

"My Lord, Sister's bowl is almost full."

Shui Cifei smiled and reminded, just as she heard Dugu City frown, "Go get a bowl for the princess."

Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly, "Your Highness, I'll do it myself."

Saying that and reaching for chopsticks to pick up the dish, she was stopped by Dugu City. "How can this be This king will help you put it in your bowl, let it cool down before eating, so as not to burn your mouth."

Feng Lingxi watched him blow on his food, snatched the bowl and chopsticks away, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Your Highness, if you do this, how can you expect Shui Cui Fei to eat Let me do it myself."

獨孤城 glanced at Shui Side Concubine, his eyes filled with displeasure. It was all because of this annoying woman that he and Xi'er had finally warmed up their relationship a little bit. She was such a nuisance.

At the sight of Dugu City's gaze, Shui Sidefei's face paled even further. She bit her lip and a mist formed in her eyes.

Feng Lingxi looked at Shui Cifei's wronged expression, the coldness on her lips deepening.

"Sister, why aren't you eating Is the food not to your liking"

Shuǐcè Fēi raised her head and met Feng Língxī's concerned gaze, forcing a smile and saying, "Many thanks for your concern, sister. The food is very good and suits my taste perfectly."

Feng Lingxi gave her a piece of meat, saying in a gentle voice, "The most important thing about this meal is that it suits your taste. Otherwise, it won't be delicious to eat, and eating it will make your stomach uncomfortable. An uncomfortable stomach makes people unhappy."

The concubine Shu smiled stiffly, "Sister is right, I'm used to bland food, these dishes are a bit spicy. It will take some time for me to get used to them. Thank you, sister, for your advice."

Wind Ling Xi handed her a piece of tofu, "Little sister, you're as tender and soft as this tofu. If you suddenly change your taste and start liking spicy food, you might have to suffer some pain. Unlike me, I've always eaten plain rice and simple meals since I was young, anything goes. My stomach is like iron, able to digest anything."

Alone City listened for half a day before realizing something was wrong. This phrase didn't seem to be talking about eating, it seemed to imply something else.

"Xier, this king just likes spicy food, the same as yours."

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, and Du Gucheng hurriedly served her vegetables, no longer speaking.

Such a scene falling into Shui Side Fei's eyes, even more jealousy maddened, she Feng Ling Xi actually dared to give the King face, you know, Four Wang Ye is the god of war in the entire Yuan Xing Dynasty, how many women dream of wanting to marry a man, she actually treated him like this.

"The way the King treats his older sister is truly admirable. Whatever she likes, he likes as well. It makes me, her younger sister, envious just watching them."

After composing herself, Shui Ci smiled, her envious gaze deepening the coldness in Feng Lingxi's eyes. She thought the Empress had sent a vase, but it seemed not.

"The younger sister said that the King indeed should treat everyone equally, not just favor me. Otherwise, wouldn't people gossip and say I have the King's favor while neglecting the Shui side consort"

The concubine was a little surprised. She didn't expect her to say in front of the Prince that he should be nicer to her. But when she heard it this way, it seemed like she was saying something bad about herself

"Sister, my little sister didn't mean it..."

"It's fine then, this king will spoil his own Xi'er. The Shui Side Concubine wouldn't have any objections either."

Du Gu Cheng interrupted her, looking at Shui Ce Fei's almost crying expression. He said to Feng Ling Xi in a pampering tone, "This king already said Shui Ce Fei is not that kind of petty woman, Xi'er worried too much."

Feng Lingxi looked at Shui Sidefei, and said faintly, "Even so, the Wangye still has to treat her well. After all, in the future, when the Royal Mansion branches out, we'll need Sister to worry more."

Upon hearing the rustling of new leaves, Shui Side Fei's eyes lit up. She timidly glanced at Dugu City once, but met his displeasured expression and instinctively lowered her head, clenching her fists.

"Even though Xi'er has yet to bear a child after marrying this king, if Shui Ci-fei were to have a child, how would the people outside speak of this king They wouldn't know and might even think that this king had found a new love and forgotten the old. This simply won't do. When Xi'er is pregnant, then this king will speak of Ci-fei's matter."

Hearing this from Dugu City, Shui Ce's face turned even uglier. Was he waiting for Feng Ling Xi to have a child before consummating their marriage She was a side concubine in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, yet he treated her like this.

"Your Majesty, Shui Side Concubine is the Empress's niece. You must treat her well."

獨孤城 listened to Feng Lingxi's words, his handsome brows slightly furrowed. "Xier is right. This king cannot disappoint the Empress's good intentions. The wife of this king's deputy general has passed away for many years and has never remarried. This way, this king will take you as his義妹 sister and marry you to him as his wife. It's better than following this king and being a concubine."

Upon hearing his words, the concubine by the water hurriedly rose and knelt down, weeping.

"My lord, I am your concubine. How can you marry me off to another Wouldn't this be like sentencing me to death"ajesty the Queen, her Royal Highness..."Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"You won't refuse, will you One hundred thousand taels of gold, and after this, such a huge de...
