Chapter 1187: Ghost Saint Country Part 148
. After a day of turmoil, she was truly exhausted. The affairs of the General's Mansion had finally settled down, but now she had become the thorn in the Empress's side. In the days to come, she was a...Luo Li walked a few steps and saw that Li Wu Yan hadn't followed. She turned around and grabbed his wrist, "Don't ruin my plan."
Li Wuyan looked at Wan'er who came out from behind him. The smile on her face was as bright as the sun. He had also had such times before, but what about in the end
Du Gu Wan, this time I'll listen to Luo Li's, let you off the hook, but I hope you have such luck, to be able to reverse all of this.
The city gate of Linxi County was bustling today. The people heard that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had returned, so they came in droves to welcome them. Most importantly, today was also Wan'er, the young princess's birthday. The people had originally planned to bring some gifts to the young princess at the Crown Prince's Mansion later, but now, it seems even better.
Feng Ling Xi heard the cheers and lifted the curtain, looking at the people welcoming them outside. A smile appeared on her face, and her gentle eyes swept over the townspeople, searching for the faces she had been longing to see these past few days.
But she was not seen in the crowd. It's understandable, Wan’er is so small; she might not even know she's back.
"Thank you all for your concern. This trip to Tumwood Town by the Lord and Lady went very smoothly. The epidemic has been resolved, and war has been avoided. Please rest assured." Ye Xi said loudly, the commoners discussed among themselves, but hearing that the epidemic was resolved, this was the best news for them.
"Long live King Chen! Long live, long live, long live!"
The commoners cheered and parted ways to make a path for them to return home.
Feng Lingxi watched the heartwarming scene of the people, suddenly feeling that it was actually quite good to be here like this. At least the people truly cared about them, and their presence was enough.
"Daddy!"
A childish voice came, accompanied by the anxious voice of Tian Xiaomi behind her, "Wan'er, slow down, don't run so fast, be careful and scare the horse."
Dugu City looked at Wan'er's small frame, running towards him. The smile on her face, the tip of her foot lightly tapping, she leaped forward and hugged Wan'er in his arms. Wan'er excitedly tightened her hold on his neck.
"Daddy, Wan'er misses you so much."
獨孤城的眼神瞬間變得溫柔起來,語氣滿是寵溺,“爸爸也想你。”
Wan'er was amused by Dugucheng's words, giggling incessantly. The scene was quite heartwarming. Feng Lingxi in the carriage watched this unfold, a smile widening on her lips.
"Your Highness."
Tian Xiaomi stepped forward to greet, but her eyes caught sight of Feng Lingxi behind him. She hurriedly said to Wan'er, "Your mother is watching you, don't favor one over the other."
Dugu Cheng walked up to Wan'er with her in his arms. Feng Lingxi opened her arms, and Wan'er took the initiative to hug her neck, a soft voice came, "Mother."
"Wǎner, my dear daughter, Mother has missed you."
"Wǎn'er misses you too."
Feng Lingxi, holding Wan'er, got off the carriage and stood on the street, watching the people looking at them, happy for them. She smiled and greeted them, then saw a figure approaching.
“Your Highness the Princess Consort of Chen, I’m Xiao Er from ‘Ya Lou’. The shopkeeper just said that today is Miss Wan'er’s birthday. He said that all the wine and food at the restaurant are free today to celebrate Miss Wan’er’s birthday. He hopes that His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Your Highness the Princess Consort will come to Ya Lou to celebrate the little princess’s birthday.”
"A beautiful building"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "When did this county town have a pavilion"
She didn't even know.
"Go back and tell your master that the Chen Wangfu is hosting a banquet today, and all citizens of the city are welcome to come to the Chen Wangfu to celebrate Wan'er's birthday. As for his kindness, this king understands."
Dugu Cheng declined the invitation to the banquet at the teahouse. The people immediately suggested going to Chen Wangfu to help proactively, moving tables and chairs near Chen Wangfu, with all the people volunteering to help.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
"This Yamen is actually Luo Li's current residence."
獨孤城 leaned down to Feng Lingxi's ear and whispered, "He wants to celebrate Wan'er's birthday."
Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of surprise. Thinking about Luo Li's words, he wouldn't hurt Wan'er. Was it because he truly treated Wan'er as his apprentice, genuinely caring for her, or was there another purpose behind it
No matter what kind, Feng Lingxi felt that Dugu Cheng did the right thing. He shouldn't let Luoli celebrate Wan'er's birthday and steal the limelight from them as parents. Most importantly, she didn't trust her.
"See, they didn't care at all."
Feng Yu Xi, with a sour expression, stood behind Luoli. She stared at Feng Ling Xi and Dugu Cheng's blissful faces, her eyes burning with envy.
She has reached this point, while Feng Lingxi has always been able to be sweet with Du Gu Cheng, and their relationship is getting better and better. How can Feng Lingxi get happiness, while she can only keep changing identities and being a pawn in someone else's game
Luo Li's eyes swept across Feng Yu Xi with a cold gaze, seeing the jealousy in her eyes. Her gaze shifted to Li Wu Yan beside her.
You can get the message to Emperor Yuan Zhao. I think if he knew that Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng had become the kings whom the people of Tumuzhen looked up to, even if Emperor Yuan Zhao followed Dugu Xiu's wish and wanted to be a good emperor, he wouldn't tolerate Dugu Cheng constantly expanding his power, and the people's support for them.
Throughout history, surpassing one's sovereign has been a taboo for all time. He didn't believe it though, Dugu City was an exception.
Feng Yu Xi's lips curled up slightly, her eyes full of a triumphant gleam.
"Aya, how about we go to Chen Wangfu together to celebrate Wan'er's birthday"
"Okay."
Li Wu Yan's eyes suddenly became gentle, Luo Li and he were on the same boat, they did everything together.
Feng Yu Xi Lian hurriedly said, “Chief, I’ll prepare a birthday gift for you right away.”
"No need, I'm ready already."
Feng Yu Xi looked at Luo Li's smile at the corner of her lips, and walked towards Chen Wang Fu with Li Wu Yan.
The news of Dugu Cheng's return to Linxi County spread throughout the surrounding area. Even the matter of Tumuzhen, no one knew who had told Emperor Yuan Zhao about it. After ascending the throne for several months, the situation in court had finally stabilized. Although Wang Yu was assisting him in court, Emperor Yuan Zhao knew that Wang Yu's ambition had not been quelled.
Now all he can do is replace the King of Glory's minions and solve the problems in the court. Then he will deal with Dugu City. So, no matter what news Dugu City sends him now, he can only bear it.
Luckily, Empress Dowager Shutai is now the Empress Dowager and rules from within the palace. Under her watchful eye, she can control Dugu City.
Upon learning that Feng Lingxi went to Tumuwzhen to aid in the epidemic relief, Emperor Yuanzhao did not get angry but instead issued an imperial decree to reward Feng Lingxi. All of this happened a month later.
Linxi County was bustling with preparations for Wan'er's birthday feast. The city was filled with festive cheer. Feng Lingxi held Wan'er's hand, watching as gifts were brought in one after another. They refused to accept any money, but unexpectedly, the surrounding tribes knew about Wan'er's birthday and sent them a lot of cattle and sheep, along with all sorts of small trinkets, just to please Duguxing and hope for peaceful coexistence.
After all, with a massive army of 500,000 stationed at the border, how many of these small tribes could possibly be their match
"Your Highness, there is someone at the door claiming to be the master of the young princess, who says they are here to celebrate the young princess's birthday."
