Chapter 549: Conspiracy 36

lly planning every move, not allowing for any mistakes.This restaurant is a place to eat and drink. These people ran down the stairs so fast that they didn't bump into anyone in front of them, but the...When the Third Princess heard what the Imperial Dowager Empress said, she hurriedly agreed and said, "What the Imperial Dowager Empress said is very true. The Fourth Princess should also seize the time and give birth to a child for the Fourth Prince as soon as possible. It's good for a woman's body to have children sooner."

"At this age, it's not good for Xi'er's body to have a child."

Shu Taifei thought about Feng Lingxi's age, “This concubine remembers that when this concubine gave birth to Cheng'er, the imperial physician said that it was best for a woman to have a child around the age of twenty. However, if she is pregnant, give birth. Abortion is not good for the body.”

"Mother, Xi'er understands."

Feng Lingxi could tell that her mother concubine was worried about the Yao Clan's possible ill intentions towards her. She still remembered what her mother had said to her back then, that the Yao Clan had pursued her because she wasn't pregnant yet. However, Feng Lingxi could see that it wasn't solely the Yao Clan's doing. Her mother concubine was very tolerant of her and tried to understand her perspective.

Feng Ling Xi felt it was worthwhile to marry Du Gu Cheng. She had a good husband and a kind, understanding mother-in-law.

The Third Princess Wife didn't expect the Imperial Noble Consort to say this. She had wanted to speak up for the Imperial Noble Consort, hoping to gain more favor with her, but instead she had achieved the opposite effect.

It's no wonder everyone says Shu Taifei's style is different from other concubines. Perhaps this is one of the reasons she was deeply loved by the late emperor among the women in the harem.

"In that case, this concubine would still have several years to prepare."

The Third Princess found a way to step down gracefully, and Feng Ling Xi nodded at her. "Third Princess, you're still young, there's plenty of time and opportunity, no need to worry."

Thank you for your guidance, Fourth Princess.

"Xier, you accompany the Third Princess in conversation. Your mother concubine is a bit tired and will go back to rest first."

The Third Princess quickly rose to see off the Noble Consort, and once she was out of sight, a smile appeared on her face as she looked at Feng Lingxi.

"Fourth Royal Wife, last time we parted ways, I heard you met with black-clad assailants on your way back. Were you injured"

"The Third Princess is worried, I'm fine. It's my maid who injured her leg and hasn't healed yet."

Feng Ling's eyes swept over Xiao Li beside her. The Third Princess looked at Xiao Li with worry in her eyes, "Those men in black are truly everywhere. With the Xirong emissary's tribute coming to the capital now, there are many foreigners both inside and outside the city. Fourth Princess, be more careful when you go out."

"Hmm."

Seeing the worry in San Wangfei's eyes, Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over the panic in her eyes. This time she came to ask for confirmation of the identity of the man in black, right

"Fourth Royal Consort, do those men in black know who is responsible"

Feng Lingxi looked at the Third Princess, shaking her head. Only then did the Third Princess let out a sigh of relief and smile, saying, "It's good that the Fourth Princess is alright. That day, Prince Yu sent someone to secretly protect the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess back to the capital. The people who went out didn't come back. Later, they found out that they had all perished. The Third Prince investigated following their trail and learned about the ambush by the black-clad men. Thankfully, both the Fourth Prince and you are safe and sound. Otherwise, my husband and I wouldn't know how to explain things to Empress Shu."

Her self-blaming words seemed to put all the blame on her. Feng Lingxi hadn't felt this averse to the Third Princess before, but now she really couldn't stand her.

"Third Princess Consort, there's no need for this. These are all just my and Fourth Prince's karmic debts."

"But if it hadn't been for Ah Yu taking you away, none of this would have happened. To be honest, it's all my fault. Ah Yu just wanted to cure me; he didn't want me to die. But he didn't expect that he almost harmed the Fourth Princess and the Fourth Prince. I really feel guilty and ashamed to see you."

"Let's not bring up the past. The Third and Fourth Princes are brothers, after all. There's no need to say such things between brothers. Xiao Li, go have lunch prepared. I will be having a meal with the Third Princess shortly."

"No need, that's too much trouble."

The Third Princess hurriedly said, seeing Feng Lingxi give the order, her face showing embarrassment, "Then I won't bother you."

Feng Lingxi looked at the restless Third Princess, her beautiful eyes scanning the handkerchief she kept clenching in her hand. The look of wanting to speak but holding back made her frown. "Third Princess, do you have anything else you want to say to me"

The Third Royal Consort raised her eyes to meet Feng Lingxi's sharp gaze and nodded slightly, "The Emperor and Empress Dowager have decreed that we remain in the capital and that both I and the Third Prince participate in this grand banquet for the visiting envoys. To be frank with you, Fourth Royal Consort, I have never attended such a large gathering nor have I ever entered the palace. I am unfamiliar with palace etiquette. The Third Prince said I should just be myself, but I fear I might embarrass him. That's why I came to ask for your guidance, hoping you can help me."

"The palace rules"

The Third Royal Concubine nodded and quickly said, "I heard that the Fourth Royal Concubine often enters the palace. She must be familiar with the palace rules."

What are the rules in the palace

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't seem to have noticed anything out of the ordinary. Even in front of Empress Cen, she remained composed and showed no signs of discomfort. It seemed as though nothing had changed from her usual demeanor. After all, Empress Cen couldn't do anything to her. Those intricate palace rules held no relevance to her whatsoever.

"Third Princess Consort, I remain the same as always, both inside and outside the palace. I never learned the court etiquette here. Perhaps you should ask someone else"

The Third Royal Wife's face stiffened slightly, biting her lip, her eyes red-rimmed.

"In this capital city, I only know the Fourth Princess Consort. I don't know anyone else, and they wouldn't want to associate with me for fear of being implicated."

The words of the Third Royal Consort were extremely humble, her eyelashes drooping as she spoke, making it hard for onlookers to bear the sight.

"Otherwise, the Empress Dowager will have Zhang Ma'am teach me court etiquette. Why don't you learn along with me"

Wind Ling Xi's words made the Third Princess' eyes light up, "Really Can I really learn with you Will Zhang Ma ma teach me"

One is also teaching, two are also, should be okay.

Whether she learns or not doesn't really matter. It's just a formality anyway. The Empress Dowager hasn't sent anyone yet, who knows if she will even come.

"Then, thank you, Fourth Princess."

Feng Lingxi waved her hand, "It's fine."

"Your Highness, Zhang MaMa has arrived."

A maidservant at the door came to report, and seeing Zhang Mama walk in against the wind and snow, Feng Lingxi got up and walked over. It was really a coincidence that she came, just like she had inquired beforehand.

"The old slave greets the Fourth Royal Consort."

Feng Lingxi slightly nodded, "Grand Ma Zhang is polite."

The Third Royal Consort hurriedly followed and said, "Greetings to Zhang Ma'am."

Grandma Zhang glanced at the Third Princess, “Fourth Princess, this is”

This is the Third Royal Consort. As the banquet for the tribute envoys is about to begin, the Third Royal Consort has been following the Third Prince in Liangzhou this whole time. This time back, she hopes that Granny Zhang can teach her the court etiquette and protocol.

When Zhang Mam heard Feng Lingxi's words, she recalled the Empress Dowager's instructions and replied, "Since the Fourth Princess has spoken, this old slave will teach along with you. The Empress Dowager said that when this old slave arrives at the Fourth Prince's Residence, everything is to be done according to the Fourth Princess's orders."

"I dare not, thank Your Majesty's grace."
