Chapter 103: Fighting on the Bed 67

ingxi hurriedly curtsied to Shu Fei, "My daughter-in-law greets Mother Empress."Shufei supported her, "You silly child, this isn't your fault. Why are you going to apologize to the Empress This hairpi...Feng Aotian saw Feng Lingxi and took the initiative to care about Feng Linglong, smiling and saying, "It's said that she will enter the marriage in three days. Today is Zhao Ran County Lord's wedding into the Prince's Mansion, so there should be a few days apart."

This prince's wedding, he didn't even invite Dugu City and her. Are all these royal weddings this cold and heartless

"The Prince's Mansion had originally invited us, but because you, Xi'er, were injured, your father was worried about your health, so he let this prince accompany you. This prince has already sent the gifts, and the prince over there understands."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Dugu Cheng explained that he wasn't willing to attend the prince's wedding for two reasons. First, he didn't want the prince to see Xi'er, and second, Xi'er was still injured, and he didn't want her to take any risks.

"So that's how it is, Your Highness doesn't blame me, but I wonder if the Empress will be displeased with me"

She wishes you wouldn't go.

Dugu Cheng said, looking at Feng Lingxi's furrowed brows, and explained, "Just follow me, why go to the prince's wedding."

“Who said I wanted to go I was just asking. Isn’t it a good thing that Big Sister and the Prince are getting married soon If I didn't ask, wouldn't it make me seem like a heartless younger sister” Feng Lingxi’s words made the smile on Feng Aotian’s face even brighter.

"That's how a family should be, this is what comes with marrying into the royal family."

Dugu City looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, always so cold towards him, he wasn't afraid that he would marry another woman into the house in a fit of anger.

"Father said that sisters should take good care of each other, after all, the eldest sister married the prince. Who knows what will happen in the future..."

"Xier, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang hinted, "You can't just say anything like that."

Feng Aotien looked at Zhang Shi, his eyes displeased. “Madam, why not speak about this at home Linglong is intelligent and perceptive. In the future, no one will be able to say anything.”

"Father, Mother said we shouldn't talk about these things."

Feng Ling Xi was naturally inclined towards her mother. A single sentence from her caused Feng Ao Tian's face to flush slightly, he could only grin awkwardly.

The atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward. Without Liu Shi and the Feng Linglong sisters, there was no more bickering, which made Feng Lingxi feel somewhat out of place.

"Father, where are Second Madam and my two elder sisters"

Feng Aotien saw her asking and his eyes lit up. He was about to speak when he met Liu Mama's gaze, and he restrained himself a little.

"Xi'er, now that your mother is the head of the household, and your second aunt is indisposed, confined to bed rest, and your two elder sisters are about to be married, it would be good if you stayed with them for company."

"How did the second concubine fall ill"

Wind Ling Xi looked at her mother, seeing clarity in her eyes. She figured it wasn't her mother who had done this. If her mother had such abilities, she wouldn't have suffered so many years of grievances.

"It's a pretty bad case of catching a cold."

"He caught a cold and is bedridden, have you taken him to see a doctor"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, with a concerned expression. Feng Aotian's face stiffened slightly, "I've already taken a look, it's not very impressive."

"Master, Xier's medical skills are quite good. Perhaps you could let her take a look at your sister"

Feng Aotien heard this and quickly said, "How can this be done Xi'er is now of noble status, how can she go to see a concubine, it would break the rules."

"Father, although the second concubine is a concubine, she has made great contributions to managing the household over the years. It's only right that I let her see it." Feng Lingxi got up and looked at Dugu Cheng, "Wangye, why don't you stay here and chat with my parents while I go take a look"

Dugucheng replied, watching her leave, and said to Feng Aotian.

"Father-in-law, today my father mentioned to me the matter of bandits raiding the border. This son wants to ask Father-in-law to lead troops to quell the rebellion, but Father-in-law is getting older, so I was thinking of sending my brother-in-law instead. What does Father-in-law think"

"You mean to have my eldest son, Feng Yixuan, lead the campaign against the bandits"

"My nephew, Wen Tao is renowned for his intelligence and military prowess. This bandit suppression campaign presents a splendid opportunity for him to distinguish himself. I intend to offer him this chance to earn merit during my wedding. I would like to know your thoughts on this, Father of my bride"

Feng Aotian had long been moved by Dugu City's words. If he could successfully quell the bandits, even though he was a concubine's son, he would be his eldest son and surely have a bright political future.

"Your Highness shows such great favor, it is the humble one's good fortune. However, the humble one's son is still young and I am worried about him traveling alone. May I humbly request to bring him along"

"Your father-in-law has just returned to Beijing and wants to go on campaign again"

"General, Yixuan has reached the point where he needs to stand alone. The King wants to support him. General, why not let go and allow him to try Give him a chance to make his mark."

Zhang opened her mouth, Feng Aotian glanced at her, his tone slightly displeased.

"You know nothing, this war is not like in the capital. One careless mistake and you'll lose your head."

"I've spoken too much."

Zhang stopped speaking and remained silent.

"Your Majesty, I think what the mother-in-law said is not unreasonable. Although my younger brother-in-law is young, he is also at the age where he can stand on his own. Moreover, he is only a year younger than Xi'er. There are General Zhao and Marshal Li guarding the border, so Your Majesty might as well let them watch over him instead of sending him to be with my father."

Feng Aotian chuckled and said, “Your Highness is right. It was my inadequate consideration that caused Your Highness to laugh. With Your Highness so concerned for his son, my son will surely return victorious.”

Of course.

With these words from Dugu City, Feng Aotiān’s worries in his heart also eased.

"My Lord, please have some tea."

Du Gu Cheng took a sip of tea, “Father-in-law, there’s one more thing I want to ask you for advice. I wonder if father-in-law could give me some guidance”

"I dare not presume to offer advice, Your Highness. If you have any instructions, simply command."

Dugu Cheng's expression turned serious. "Xi'er was lucky to escape this assassination, but this king is still very uneasy. Logically speaking, Xi'er had not come into contact with anyone after recovering from her illness, so why would someone want to assassinate her."

"What does the Lord mean by this"

Feng Aotiān's heart skipped a beat. Could he suspect that it was his general's mansion

"This king wants to know who Xier has been in contact with at the General's Mansion over these years, so that this king can investigate and see who is behind this."

Feng Aotien looked at Zhang Shi, “Madam, Xier has just recovered from a serious illness. You were the one who took care of her, so you understand her best.”

Seeing Zhang's arrival, she sighed and said, "General, this concubine also wants to take care of Xier, but this concubine's body has always been weak. She lives in her own courtyard. Besides Xiao Li taking care of her, the other matters are all handled by her younger sister. You should ask her about these things."

"Hold on, Your Majesty, I'll go ask her and see if there are any clues."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Yuefu."

Feng Lingxi brought Xiaoli to Liu's courtyard. Xiaoli, following behind, said, "Your Highness, Nanny Liu followed us."

Feng Lingxi stopped her steps and turned to look at Liu Mama, looking at her with confusion.

"Grandmother Liu, what is this…"erated. "She's your daughter! If you refuse to acknowledge her, then I have no daughter left.""Madam, I am ashamed to let her recognize me."Lu Hao raised his eyes, and this sentence choked back all of...
