to learn from you."Feng Lingxi showed a smile and said softly, "Your Highness, the Princess of Pingbei is amused. It's just a mere facade, not worth emulating. Instead, I should learn more from Empres...Dugu Cheng looked at her whimpering, feeling a wave of annoyance.

It's such a cheap trick, just looking at it is annoying.

"My lord, marrying your own concubine to your deputy general isn't quite right, is it"

Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Shui Ce Fei's tear-filled eyes. She watched her pitiful gaze fixed on Du Gu Cheng. If I were any other man, seeing this pathetic look, I would have already felt pity.

Dugu Cheng glanced at Feng Lingxi. She was deliberately trying to push this woman towards him.

"Xier, being a legitimate wife is far better than being the King's concubine. Besides, this king can't even satisfy you, let alone have the energy to take care of other women."

Feng Ling Xi's face instantly flushed, reddening as she glared at Du Gu Cheng.

"My Lord, what nonsense are you talking about"

To say this in front of Shui Side Concubine, she would be mistaken for seeking favoritism, clinging to Dugu City and blaming all the faults on her.

"Dugu Cheng looked innocent, "Then why hasn't Xier been pregnant yet"

Feng Lingxi was speechless at his words. They had just consummated their marriage last night, how could there be a child

"I'm doing this for your own good. Don't just cry all day. My general is strong and capable. If you married him, having seven or eight children would be no problem at all."

The concubine's face grew paler and paler. To think he would have such a desire, she too wished to give birth to seven or eight children for him.

"Sister, I am merely a concubine to the Prince. If the Prince does not favor me, I will remain in the palace and guarantee that I will not compete for his affections with you. I beg you, sister, grant me a way out of this predicament."

This Shui Ci concubine knelt before Feng Lingxi, bowing her head to her. Feng Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up.

"What are you doing Get up."

Shui Ci Fei's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Feng Ling Xi, her gaze brimming with gratitude.

"Sister, my younger sister has already married the prince. If she were to marry his deputy general, she would truly have no face to live in this world."

"I understand this, but Your Highness is also thinking of you. After all, a general like him finds it difficult to find a wife. Your Highness was worried and came up with such a method."

Shui Ci Fei glanced at Dugu Cheng, "But this concubine is the Wang Ye's side consort, how can she marry another man."

"Why not This King has never touched a single hair on your head, nor have I ever promised to marry you. The Empress forced you upon me. I took you in as my foster sister and arranged for you to marry my deputy general. Could it be that you find my deputy general unworthy of you, which is why you object"

Dugu Cheng was displeased, Shui Cifei hurriedly said, "My lord, I dare not, I only..."

"Since you're afraid, then this is settled. This princess will take you as her adopted sister. There’s no need to delay, we shall marry you off to my deputy general today. You must serve me and him well, and give birth to children for him."

Shui Ci Fei was frightened by what Du Gu Cheng said. Now she was about to be married off, and he didn't even give her a chance to report to the empress about the ancient tomb.

"My lord, I don't want to marry the deputy general. I only wish to serve you..."

"This king doesn't need you to serve him."

Dugu Cheng finished speaking and looked at Ye Xi, "What are you still standing there for Hurry and go to Luo, and get things ready for Liu's deputy general's wedding."

The waterside concubine rushed over and hugged Dugu City's thigh, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "My lord, I have long admired you. Even if you don't like me, I only want to serve by your side. I beg you to reconsider."

Dugu Cheng looked at her clutching onto him, his face darkening. "What are you still doing Hurry up and comb and dress the young lady, she'll be sent to Liu Mansion soon."

"Your Highness, please don't..."

The Shuicui Fei cried out, being dragged away by the maidservant, leaving only cries that made one's heart ache to hear.

"My lord, if the Empress knew of this, she would surely be furious. After all, she is your own niece! You've given her to one of your lieutenants Wouldn't that be slapping the Empress in the face"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, thinking that she wanted him to favor Shui Ce Fei, and he was angry.

She snorted coldly and puffed up with pride.

Feng Lingxi looked at his expression, her eyes slightly surprised, then smiled.

"Your Highness, why must you argue with me like this I have no desire to get involved in Shui Ci Fei's affairs. If Your Highness feels anger, please do not take it out on me."

Dugu Cheng looked at the smile on her face, and thinking that she had pushed him to another woman, he couldn't feel happy at all.

"You say things like this, letting Xi'er handle them I see right through you. You want to push me into that woman's arms and ruin my reputation entirely!"

Dugu City's complaints made Feng Lingxi laugh and cry. To protect his innocence, the man told her this.

"Becoming consort to another man is inevitable. Since the Empress has bestowed her upon you, why not accept Give her to Liu the deputy general, and then Wang Ye won't have to worry about him turning against him later."

Although he was a prince, his power wasn't as great as the Empress'. No one could guarantee that Liu, the deputy general, would be loyal to him.

Dugu Cheng said dejectedly, "Even so, you can't just shove me like this into her arms. You know I don't like concubines, I only like you. Yet you do this to me, my heart bleeds."

Feng Lingxi opened her eyes, although she knew that Dugu City was good to her now, so what She had dealt with the water concubine sent by the Empress, who knows what kind of woman the Empress would send him tomorrow

“Why are you silent Am I wrong Xi'er has never cared about my feelings, only wanting to push me to other women. She has never tried to believe me. Even Mother said that I need her consent to take a concubine.”

"Now, if one day your mother asks you to take a concubine, would you agree"

After Feng Ling Xi finished asking, Dugu Cheng fell silent. Feng Ling Xi looked at him like this and said faintly, "If your mother asked you to take a concubine, you would agree, then what's the difference between this and agreeing to the empress's gift of a concubine"

Even if she is generous and loves him, she would never share a husband with another woman.

"Xier, don't you want this king to have other women"

"I just don't want my man to have other women. I give him my whole heart, and he must give me his whole heart too, in both feelings and body and soul. If he can't do that, I'd rather have never wanted him at all."

She admitted that she also felt jealousy and envy. When Dugu City married Shui Side Fei, she said it didn't matter and she didn't care, but deep down, she cared very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let him have his way last night.

"Has Naxier ever considered putting her heart into this for Your Majesty"

Nangong Su looked at her, his voice firm, "Xi'er, if you are willing to give your heart, this king promises you, in this life besides you, there will be no other woman."

"If your mother asked you to take a concubine Would you refuse for me and her"

Dugu Cheng was just about to speak when Feng Lingxi reminded him, "Think carefully before you answer me. I don't want to hear your perfunctory words."use of him this time. Now that the sick are increasing and the common people are gathering here, if this plague worsens, even more people will die."Feng Ling Xi's eyes were filled with worry as she lo...
