Chapter 43: Bed Battle

cold voice, spoke up. The murmurs among the crowd grew louder still."It was just a bump! Is there any need to be so intimidating""She's the Fourth Princess now, speak softly."Hearing others speak ill...Feng Lingxi coldly stared at him, her thin lips slightly parted, her voice so cold it sent shivers down one's spine.

"What do you think"

Du Gucheng watched her movements, forcing down his anger and reminding her, "Feng Lingxi, do you know what you're doing Are you trying to become a widow"

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi readily replied, looking at Du Gu Cheng's iron-blue handsome face. She retracted her hand, coldly scanning his angry eyes that wanted to kill her, and said coldly, "If I really wanted to cripple you, it would be an easy thing to do, Du Gu Cheng. We don't interfere with each other. If you dislike me, feel free to write a letter of divorce anytime."

Dugu Cheng gritted his teeth and glared at her, "Don't even think about it."

He wanted to run away as soon as he slept with her. She really thought he married her to get someone to take his anger out on.

Feng Lingxi didn't want to speak to him, she closed her eyes and meditated, too lazy to talk to him.

Du Gucheng looked at her cold attitude, he was really crazy, how could he be angered by her again and again Looking at her calm and composed appearance, as if everything was under her control, he was just angry.

Upon arriving at the Fourth Prince's Residence, Feng Lingxi alighted from the carriage and returned to her own courtyard with Xiao Li, not giving Dugu Cheng a chance to speak.

Such indifference made Dugu Cheng's handsome face increasingly ugly.

Ye Xi, looking at her king's face, kindly reminded him, "Your Majesty, couples quarrel, bed head quarrels bed tail and, you coax the princess."

獨孤城冷冷地掃過夜希一眼，語氣充滿怒火地說：“你哪隻眼睛看見本王要哄她？想讓本王寵幸她？不可能。”

It's one thing to be able to climb onto the princess' bed, but don't end up not even being able to get into her room.

Ye Xi muttered softly, he saw that this princess wasn't an ordinary woman. The King must fall into her hands, after all, the only woman who could make the King lose his composure like this was the princess herself.

"Go and make my study tidy, I'm sleeping in the study."

He didn't believe it, he wouldn't pamper her, when would she stop challenging him

"I'll take care of it right away."

Ye Xi instructed others and, on the way, inquired about news at the princess's courtyard, but found everything was as usual.

As night fell, Xiao Li stood outside the door, waiting and waiting but Wang Ye never came. She walked inside and saw the Queen still busy concocting pills, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Wang Ye hasn't come yet."

Feng Lingxi's movements froze slightly in her hand. She just remembered that she and Dugu Cheng were already married, meaning they were supposed to sleep together.

"Xiaoli, blow out the lamp and go to sleep."

Feng Lingxi tidied herself up and lay down, taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't come yet to get some sleep first. If he dared to touch her, she'd see how she'd deal with him.

"Blow out the candles."

Xiao Li looked at the princess's eyes and extinguished the candle.

If the young lord comes, tell him that I, Kuishui, have arrived and ask him to go back.

"Your Majesty, are you refusing to share a bed with your King"

Xiao Li now understood, thinking about the way the King treated the Princess today, she was even more worried.

"Even if he comes, I won't let him on the bed."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and turned over to sleep.

After finishing his work, Dugu Cheng glanced at the sky outside. The maidservants outside had urged him several times to go to Feng Lingxi's courtyard to sleep. Counting down, tonight was their wedding night. He said he wouldn't go, but now, he felt a little angry. Why shouldn't he go If that woman saw him go there, she would definitely be angry and unable to sleep.

Thinking to himself, Dugu City got up and told Ye Xi, "Go to her."

Ye Xi was hesitating how to tell the King about the message from the Crown Princess that she wouldn't be sharing his bed tonight. Hearing the King speak, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Your Majesty, someone from the Crown Princess just said that the Crown Princess has her monthly flow and asked you not to go over."

"......"

Dugu City looked at Ye Xi, that woman really wanted to make it known to the world that she wouldn't serve him.

She was really audacious, as his queen consort, she actually dared to refuse to share the bed.

"She's bold to say that."

Ye Xi gritted his teeth and added, "The princess not only dared to say it, but also dared to do it." He was certain that if the prince went, he wouldn't even be able to get through the door.

Dugu Cheng let out a cold snort, "Who would want to sleep with her"

He still didn't believe her, waiting for her to dry before she came up with another excuse.

Just like that, on the first day after Du Gu Cheng returned, the couple slept in separate rooms. When the old Queen learned of this upon returning from the palace, she summoned them before her and scolded them both. Feng Ling Xi remained silent throughout, letting the old Queen speak ill of her without a word.

"Erlang, since you're a married couple, why don't you live together How can this imperial concubine hold her grandson"

"Mother, may I say a word"

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, ignoring Dugu Cheng's blazing gaze. Seeing that the old Princess Consort agreed, she spoke, "As a daughter-in-law, I know that last night was my fault. Because of my health issues, I couldn't serve the King properly. I beg Mother Consort, please grant the King a concubine."

"Concubine of the side"

The old matriarch looked at Feng Lingxi in astonishment, "Xi'er, do you know what you're saying You've only been married into the manor for a few days, how could you have the idea of taking a concubine"

Du Gu Cheng never expected she would tell her mother concubine this. If the mother concubine agreed, and allowed a side consort to enter, wouldn't she really want to push him to another woman

Shouldn't she have remembered that she had already given herself to him

Wind Lingxi looked at Du Gucheng and explained, "Mother concubine, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What's more, I was foolish and naive before. This position of the main wife was also bestowed by the emperor. If the Prince wants to take it back one day, your daughter-in-law will have nothing to say."

When the Dowager Queen heard this, she fixed her eyes on Duguo City. Thinking of what he had said yesterday, her face darkened.

"Er, did you say something to Xi'er Your mother saw you two being so affectionate yesterday. Could it all have been for show"

Du Gu Cheng heard his mother's reprimand and was about to explain when Feng Ling Xi knelt down. "Mother, please forgive me. Your Highness being able to defend your concubine before the banquet already makes this concubine very satisfied. As for matters within the estate, this concubine knows that Your Highness dislikes her. Even if he dismisses this concubine, this concubine has no complaints."

Feng Ling Xi's words made the old Madam feel heartbroken. She said, "Xi’er, how could you say such things It turns out it's because of your son."

"Cheng'er, you promised your mother yesterday that you would get along well with Xi'er."

Dugu Cheng glanced at Feng Lingxi, “Mother concubine, please don’t listen to her words. How do you know what she’s thinking Perhaps she doesn’t even care about this position of the Fourth Princess, and might even be hoping to leave the Fourth Prince’s Mansion”

"The prince is right. I do want to leave the Fourth Prince's Mansion with all my heart, because I feel unworthy of him."

That's enough!

The old matriarch looked at the two of them, her head aching badly.

She had finally seen the city get married, how could these two not have a bit of peace of mind.im back.""It's good that he's alright, just don't let him come back, it's too dangerous."It's good to know he's alright. Returning would be dangerous, it's better for him to recover outside."That pri...
