Chapter 362: Revenge 6

just a marriage to a deceased king, isn't it I'm not being buried with him, so why cry"This woman, now that she's lost her virginity, if she were to marry into a good family, she would at least be the...Windling's eyes lit up the moment she heard about the bird's nest. She rushed forward and sniffed it, saying with envy, "The Empress Dowager is so good to Consort Shu, this bird's nest truly smells delicious."

The Empress Dowager Cen listened to her words, “This bird’s nest was given to the Noble Consort Shu by you. It has nothing to do with this old woman.”

This is like wanting to borrow a knife to kill someone. I don't know if there's something wrong with the bird's nest inside. With her methods, how could she possibly be so kind as to give it to the Empress Dowager

"Yao Hua thanks the Empress Dowager."

Feng Lingxi looked at the maidservant beside her holding a bird's nest, "Then you go with this princess to see Shutai."

Empress Dowager Cen watched Feng Lingxi's leaving figure, her smile gradually fading. Liu Mama, at her side, spoke up, "Empress Dowager, are you really going to let Princess Yao Hua poison Concubine Shu"

"She dared to return, she should know that this Empress wouldn't allow her to live in the palace. To dare use the late Emperor to threaten this Empress, how could this Empress tolerate her."

The killing intent in Empress Cen's eyes was palpable. Thinking of what Consort Shu had said to her when she entered the palace, she wished she could kill her right then and there.

Had it not been for now, she needed Dugu City to marry Princess Yao Hua. They mother and son truly believed they could run wild in the capital. This capital had long been her domain, with no room for them, mother and son.

"If this Shutai Fei dies at the hands of Princess Yaohua, this Fourth Prince will undoubtedly blame Princess Yaohua, provoking a rift between her and the Aoxiang Dynasty. At that time, when we join forces with the Aoxiang Dynasty to destroy Dugu City, your Majesty, I don't believe their mother and son will escape this calamity."

Queen Mother Cen's killing intent was evident, and Liu MaMa hurriedly said, "The Empress Dowager is wise."

When Feng Lingxi arrived at the Imperial Garden, she suddenly walked up to a palace maid tending a bird's nest and reached out to take it.

"You step aside, this princess will personally serve the Dowager Empress, so as to demonstrate this princess's sincerity."

Feng Lingxi retreated from the palace maids, holding a bird's nest and Xiao Li, and went to Shutai's bedroom. Although her mother had returned to the palace and lived in a better place than before, the palace maids and eunuchs outside were too sharp-eyed and seemed to be monitoring her obviously.

Feng Lingxi presented a nest of swallows to the palace and immediately, an eunuch stepped forward. Xiaoli walked up to them and said, "Princess Yao Hua has come to visit Shutai."

The eunuch immediately stepped back and respectfully ushered Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli inside.

Feng Lingxi entered holding a bird's nest, counting carefully as she went. There were sixteen palace maids and eunuchs in all, guarding every possible exit. They bowed upon seeing her, but Feng Lingxi noticed their scrutinizing gazes – these must be the Empress Dowager’s informants. She had to be careful.

"Shutaifei, Princess Yaohua is here to see you."

Feng Lingxi shouted loudly, as she walked to the front of the hall, she deliberately twisted her ankle, the bird's nest in her hand fell to the ground, scattering everywhere. Feng Lingxi screamed and covered her hand. Hearing the sound, Shu Fei hurried forward.

How are you

Feng Lingxi winked at her mother concubine, and Shu Fei hurriedly withdrew her expression and stepped forward to help her up.

"Are you Princess Yaohua, sent by the Emperor of Aohuang to marry into our family"

Feng Lingxi nodded, covering her hand and getting up. Looking at the smile on her mother's face, her heart ached with a sour feeling.

"Is your hand alright"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, looking at the bird's nest on the ground with a face full of remorse.

"Shutaifei, I'm so sorry, Yaohua spilled the bird's nest."

"It's just a bowl of bird's nest, isn't it I'll have someone bring it over in a bit."

"But this was made by Yao Hua for Shutai, Yao Hua is clumsy, she made Shutai laugh."

Feng Lingxi pretended to be a dutiful daughter-in-law. The eunuchs and maids at the gate were tidying up the fallen bird's nests and saw Feng Lingxi's actions.

"Send for the imperial physician, Princess Yao Hua has injured her hand."

"Your Highness, the injury is just superficial. It's nothing to worry about."

Wind Ling hastily stopped her mother concubine, looking at the palace maids and eunuchs outside, "Clean this up and go to the imperial dining room to bring Princess a bowl of bird's nest."

The Empress Dowager ordered, “Bring some pastries here.”

Feng Lingxi saw that all the palace maids and eunuchs had left, only two palace maids remained at the door. She loudly said, "Shu Taifei, Yao Hua wants to marry the Fourth Prince. You are the mother of the Fourth Prince, can you please persuade him to take me as his concubine"

“This…”

Shu Tai-fei's face was full of distress, Feng Lingxi acted coquettishly towards her.

"Your Majesty, this princess traveled thousands of miles to be here and marry him. Although the Fourth Prince agreed to marry me, he often disagrees with my opinions. Please help me persuade him."

Feng Ling Xi's coquettish tone was very charming, the palace maids lowered their heads, not daring to look this way.

Feng Ling Xi lowered her voice and said, "Mother Empress, why did you come back"

The Consort Shu glanced at the maidservants guarding outside and said, "Princess Yao Hua, come with this consort."

Feng Lingxi followed Shu Taifei into the inner hall and dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs.

"Xiao Li, guard it."

Feng Lingxi finished giving her orders and left with her mother.

"Xi'er, your mother is deliberately coming back to help you. If you need anything, just speak up. Although these people are all the Empress Dowager's eyes and ears, they can't stop your mother."

Shu Fei's words surprised Feng Ling Xi, coming to help her specifically

She doesn't need help here at all.

"Mother, you're too reckless. I can handle this myself. You should go back to the palace."

"Since Mother has no intention of leaving the palace, Xi’er can do whatever she wants. If you need anything, just ask Xiao Li to find me."

Feng Lingxi nodded, thinking of the bird's nest that the Empress Dowager had given her.

"The bird's nest just now must be problematic. The Empress Dowager had me bring it. I intentionally tripped and spilled it. From tomorrow onwards, I will use the excuse of showing you kindness to send you food. The Empress Dowager will definitely try to tamper with the food. I can then seize the opportunity."

The noble consort responded, giving Feng Lingxi a few instructions and having her bandage her finger. She then led her out. Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li back home with her.

"Princess Yao Hua, the Empress Dowager requests your presence."

Before she could return to her chambers, Feng Lingxi was summoned by the Empress Dowager. Upon meeting the Empress Dowager, the latter inquired about her hand. Feng Lingxi truthfully recounted everything, her face clouded with displeasure.

"Empress Dowager, do you think Yao Hua's behavior today will make the Noble Consort dislike me and feel like I can't do anything right"

"Princess Yaohua, there's no need to overthink it, it was just an accident."

I never expected bird's nest to be sprinkled on her, Shufei is truly hard-fated.

"Your Majesty, can Yaohua continue delivering food to Consort Shu tomorrow Yaohua wants to please Consort Shu; she likes me. Even if the Fourth Prince doesn't like me, in time, he will see my good qualities."

The Empress Dowager hesitated, and Feng Lingxi stepped forward, taking her hand and acting coquettishly. "Empress Dowager, Yao Hua begs you," she said.

The Empress Dowager, unable to bear the headache inflicted by Feng Ling Xi's pestering, reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, alright, you've worn me down. Since you want to please the Empress Dowager so badly, then go ahead. But don't slack off on learning your manners."

Wind Ling hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."e scared."Hold onto the rope and look around."Xiaoli was directing from above, her eyes never leaving the princess's body for a moment, afraid that she would suddenly disappear from her sight.Feng Lin...
