ll reward you handsomely."Dugu Cheng walked forward and knelt down."Father, these are all things your son should do. If you truly wish to bestow a reward upon me, perhaps you could give it to your son..."Xier, you don't understand."

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes and looked at him, "Then you tell me, is it what a father does to be jealous of his own child"

"Why can't I be jealous of my own child If having a child means competing for love, then I might as well just have one like Wan'er."

Then will Wan'er no longer vie for favor

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look, but her mood improved considerably because of Dugu City's words. Dugu City also noticed that Xi'er's mood had lifted and seriously discussed it with her.

"Wàn'er is a young lady, a young lady is Daddy's little cotton-padded jacket, but sons are different. They will certainly compete with Daddy for women."

"So, you're saying it's okay for me and Wan'er to compete for your favor, but not our son"

Dugu Cheng frowned, "When have you ever eaten Wan'er's vinegar"

"I..."

Feng Ling was speechless, she felt jealous, but of course she wouldn't tell him. Besides, she couldn't bear to compete for favor with her own daughter.

"Xier, actually whether it's a daughter or a son, as long as it's ours, I like both. If you don't want to have children, that's fine too, I don't mind."

"Why, Imperial Mother, do you want a son Don't you"

Now that he has a title, this will be passed down to his son in the future. The daughter will eventually marry into another family. Shouldn't he have the thought of having a son

"Emperor Yuan Zhao ascended the throne and was deeply loved by the people. From now on, both of you will stay here. As for our children, what does it matter If Wan'er likes it, then everything in the Chen Wangfu from now on will belong to her."

"But she's a young lady, isn't she"

Feng Lingxi was dumbfounded. Aren't ancient people the most meticulous about this kind of inheritance Why is it different in Dugu City

"Well then, what of the young lady Is she not this King's daughter"

Dugu Cheng reached out and pinched Feng Lingxi's dazed face. When she wasn't paying attention, he quickly stole a kiss. Feng Lingxi pushed him away.

"What are you doing"

He promised to let her off tonight, if he didn't keep his word, she wouldn't listen to him next time.

"Just looking at it is so tempting, I want to take a bite."

獨孤城的嘴角笑容更加燦爛，風淩兮盯著他看，這個男人長得好看，這細看，更是賞心悅目。

"Do you like it"

Dugu Cheng leaned down beside her ear, his warm breath making Feng Lingxi blush. She hurriedly opened her eyes, "It's time for sleep. If we keep talking, the sun will rise."

"Do you also know what it's like to be shy"

Dugu City held Feng Ling in his arms, "Sleep, this king's word is his bond."

Feng Lingxi responded and yawned, quickly falling asleep. Perhaps it was because the things on her mind were scattered, or maybe it was having Dugu City by her side that made her sleep soundly.

Feng Lingxi had fallen asleep, but Dugu Cheng hadn't. This matter of Huangfu Qingyun remained unresolved, and if it wasn't handled, Xi'er wouldn't be able to rest easy.

Whether or not she truly carries his child, this matter must be handled delicately. Even without a pregnancy, the situation could escalate into conflict between the two nations, leaving the people of this region to suffer the consequences.

He is not afraid to go into battle, he is just afraid that the hard-won peace will be taken away and used to frame Xier. Since they got married, Xier's life has been far from easy. She has endured hardship and danger throughout their journey together. Now that they have finally found peace, he doesn't want her to worry again.

Feng Ling Xi was tucked under the covers. Dugu Cheng got up and changed into his night clothes, leaving the room. Outside the manor, Ye Xi and Ye Su had been waiting for a long time.

"樓主."

"Take action."

The next day, Feng Lingxi woke up. Dugu City had already come back. Looking at the man sleeping soundly beside her, Feng Lingxi lay on her side watching him. It had been a long time since she had woken up to see Dugu City sleeping beside her. This feeling was truly something she cherished.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Li's knock on the door sounded, Feng Ling Xi glanced at Du Gu Cheng and hurriedly got up to open the door. She made a gesture for Xiao Li to be silent and tiptoed over, asking, "What is it"

"Your Highness, a beautiful woman outside says she wants to see the King."

"A beautiful woman"

Feng Ling Xi frowned, watching that Dugu City was still asleep. She whispered, “You first let her sit in the front hall, I’ll be there soon.”

Feng Lingxi changed her clothes, but Dugu City hadn't woken up yet. After Feng Lingxi went out, Dugu City opened his eyes, got up, and changed his clothes. He didn't rush to see anyone.

In the foyer, a stunning woman sat there, her every movement graceful. Her eyes held an air of femininity, and her long eyelashes fluttered ever so slightly, like a fairy descended upon earth, captivating the heart.

What a stunning beauty! It seems that Dugu City truly has good fortune in love.

"Your Highness, she's the young lady who came to find the Master."

Xiaoli pointed at the beautiful woman, her tone and eyes full of displeasure, as if this beauty had offended her.

Seeing this woman before Xiao Li, with her beauty surpassing all others, coming to find the prince, it was natural to assume she was the prince's beloved.

Mei'er has met the Crown Princess of Chen.

"Are you Ye Mei, the deputy mistress of Tianxianglou"

Ye Mei smiled and nodded, glancing at Feng Lingxi's maid, "Consort Chen knows me. It seems the host has already told Consort Chen about me."

Feng Lingxi smiled and greeted her to take a seat, "He only mentioned it to me, didn't say much about the deputy head."

"You may call me Meili if you are the wife of Prince Chen."

Ye Mei chuckled softly, her fair skin glowing with a smile that was captivatingly beautiful. Feng Lingxi couldn't help but admire her, she truly deserved the title of master of charm. Every move, every word held a mesmerizing allure.

"Mei'er, your sudden visit today, was it the Wangye who sent you"

Facing such a beauty, she didn't know if men would be moved by her, but just looking at her gave her a pleasant feeling. What surprised her the most was that this night's charm wasn't the kind that felt overly seductive or tiresome. It was clean, pure, like a fox who had just descended from heaven.

To call her a fox is because the beauty emanating from her eyes and brows has a captivating allure, like that of a noble and pure fox fairy.

Ye Mei shook her head. "It was Ye'er who came on her own accord. This time, there is an important matter that needs to be seen by the master personally. Princess Chen, please forgive me."

"It's alright, Your Highness hasn't woken up yet. Mei'er will wait a while, and once Your Highness is up, I'll have someone call him over."

Ye Mei heard that she hadn't gotten up yet and chuckled silently.

"The Crown Princess is truly talented. Mei'er remembers that the poster is a person who doesn't covet warmth in bed."

"Mei'er smiled, perhaps he was too tired lately and needed a good rest." That night Mei mentioned Dugu City, she actually knew quite a bit about him. However, with such a beautiful subordinate, didn't Dugu City ever have any feelings for her

If it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to hold back.

"Then Meili would wait for the master in this hall."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Xiaoli beside her. "Go get some breakfast over here, Mei'er probably hasn't eaten yet, has she"

Xiao Li glanced at Ye Mei, walked out, and ordered someone to fetch it. She didn't want to leave the princess. This Ye Mei came here, she didn't know if there was another purpose, she had to protect the princess's safety.ere evenly matched with his, and even slightly superior."Just speak, you're so close to me, Ye Su would naturally be displeased.""He is Yè Suò"Du Guyu looked at Ye Su, his eyes slightly surprised.
