ick-skinned, but he didn't have to be so shameless!Zhang shi stepped forward, "Xi'er, this matter Feng Ce Fei also said, she will handle it, otherwise...""Mother, a married daughter is like spilled wa..."You said."
Huangfu Qingyun readily agreed. He was more curious about Xiaoli, the maidservant. From her, he seemed to see a shadow of Xi'er before she lost her memory. He became even more curious about what Xi'er was like before she lost her memory, that even her maidservant could have such a personality.
First, I hope our bet remains a secret from the Princess. Second, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't prevent the Princess from regaining her memories." Xiao Li said this while staring into Huangpu Qingyun's eyes. A person's honesty can be seen in their eyes.
Huangpu Qingyun nodded, "That's no problem. Even if you didn't say anything, this palace wouldn't have intended to tell Xi'er about our bet. Although Xi'er's mind is simple now, it wouldn't be good for her. This palace has asked the imperial physician, and she could still recover her memory after being stimulated. This palace doesn't intend to prevent her from recovering her memory. On the contrary, this palace will ask you to assist her and help Xi'er recover her memory."
Xiao Li bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Huangfu Qingyun raised her hand, "Now it's my turn to make a condition."
Xiao Li was startled and looked at him warily. Huangfu Qingyun smiled and said, "This palace's conditions are very simple. I just want you to tell this palace what Xi'er's real name is, who she is the princess of, other things, if you are willing to say, say it, if not, this palace will not force you."
"Fēng Língxī, dà xīng cháo sì wáng fù."
Since he's the crown prince of the Aohua Dynasty, he'll eventually find out about his consort's true identity. Whether he tells him or not, it won't be long before he discovers the truth.
"The Fourth Princess of the Daxing Dynasty, it turns out she was."
Huángfǔ Qīngyún raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Does His Royal Highness recognize the Princess Consort"
"I don't know her personally, but I've heard of her. Wasn't she quite famous recently They say she poisoned the former emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty and is being hunted by them." Huangfu Qingyun recounted what he had heard about Feng Lingxi. Xiao Li immediately refuted him, "Your Highness, the princess didn't poison the former emperor; she was framed."
"Everyone in the world knew it already, but now everyone knows it was Xi'er who did it."
Xiao Li clenched her fists, her eyes cold and sharp, "The truth will eventually come to light."
"This palace won't tell you these things. Go back and serve Xi'er. You can try to recover Xi'er's memory, but don't hurt Xi'er."
Huangfu Qingyun left, leaving Xiaoli alone there. Reflecting on Huangfu Qingyun's words just now, she became increasingly puzzled. What was Huangfu Qingyun's attitude towards the princess Did he truly like her or did he have ulterior motives
"Go investigate everything about the Fourth Princess Feng Lingxi of the Great Yuan Dynasty. This Palace needs to know everything about her, from childhood to present. And you must not mention any conversations between this Palace and Xiao Li to anyone, not even the Emperor or Empress."
Huangfu Qingyun instructed his subordinates, as he had guessed, Xiao Li and Xi'er were acquainted. It seemed he still needed to find a way to check on Dugu City's current location. Xi'er had fallen off the cliff over a month ago, and if Dugu City was truly as Xiao Li said, he should have come looking by now. Why had there been no news of him until now
If Dugu City hadn't looked for Xi'er, or thought she was dead, then he wouldn't have to return Xi'er to him.
Clenching his fist, Huangfu Qingyun quickened his pace. He had to go to the palace and ask his emperor parents for permission to journey to the Yao tribe.
The Yao Clan's Blessing Ceremony was still ongoing, the Holy Master had returned, and the ceremony was proceeding smoothly. Looking at the clansmen surrounding the Holy Master, a smile gradually disappeared from Yao Qing's face.
"The Blessing Ceremony is over."
Yao Qing spoke first, and Feng Fu Ren opened her eyes. After bowing, she turned to face the clan members.
Today, I return. I pray for the well-being of all my Yao people for a hundred years of good fortune and health. May there be favorable winds and ample rain. May this grand ceremony of blessings be completed with merit.
"Glory to the Lord!"
The Yao people's cheers made Feng Fu Ren's smile even more radiant. She looked up at the heavens and silently prayed: "Oh heavens above, today I, as a mother, implore you to watch over my daughter, Feng Ling Xi. May she safely pass through this tribulation and live a long and peaceful life."
"Lord, the Grand Blessing Ceremony has been successfully completed. According to tribal law, should the Lord pass on the mantle to the Holy Maiden"
“Saintess”
Yao Qing's words caused the Yao people to murmur amongst themselves. Even A Si, who was inside the hall, walked to the door and watched the unusual crowd in the square with a worried expression.
The ceremony to transfer the position of Saint should have taken place after the blessing, but the Saint hasn't returned yet. I think the transference can only happen with the Saint present.
The Wind's Lady remained unmoved, but Yao Qing couldn't keep his composure after all.
"Lord, according to our ancestral rules, the Lord does not have an heir. The Holy Maiden is elected from the young women of our clan. I and the elders have unanimously decided to select Yao Feifei as the new Holy Maiden of our Yao Clan, completing the succession."
The originally noisy square became even more chaotic after Elder Yao’s words. Feng Fu looked at the smile on Yao Qing's face, not panicking at all.
"Elder Yao, the clan rules indeed state that if the Holy Master has no heir, the Holy Maiden will be chosen from the Yao Clan. However, Elder Yao, I am not without an heir. This selection would be inappropriate, and the clan people would not agree to a Holy Maiden chosen in this way."
Yao Qing stepped forward, looking at Feng Fu's smile with narrowed eyes. With a forced smile, he asked, "May I ask the Holy Lord, where is the Saintess You have returned alone this time. How can we believe that there is a Saintess Are you waiting for the Holy Lord to give birth to a Saintess"
“Elder Yao, the birth of the Saintess has already been reported to the Yao Clan. The list of Saintesses in the Yao Clan can only include my daughter Feng Lingxi. How come, Elder Yao, do you think that because I haven't been in the Yao Clan for over ten years, I no longer have a say”
Feng Fu-ren's face darkened. This Yao Fei-fei was the granddaughter of Yao Qing, relying on her grandfather's status as an elder, she was arrogant and domineering, often bullying her peers. The people of the Yao clan had long been dissatisfied with this Yao Fei-fei. What angered her most was that behind their backs, this Yao Fei-fei regarded herself as a saint in front of her peers.
Even without mentioning whether Xier is willing to become the Saintess, Yao Feifei's temperament doesn't qualify her to be the Yao Clan's Saintess at all. Even if the Saintess position were to change, it wouldn't be her, Yao Feifei.
"Lord, the tribal rules are as they are. You have returned this time without bringing back the Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden we have chosen, regardless of her beauty or wisdom, is the best candidate among our Yao tribe. Lord, let us see how the people's will plays out in this decision."
"Lord, Yao Feifei cannot be the Saintess. She is pampered and arrogant, looking down on everyone. She often bullies us clan members because she is Elder Yao's granddaughter. If she becomes the Saintess, our Yao Clan will never have peace again. Since Lord has a daughter, he should let the true Saintess return instead of letting Yao Feifei be the Saintess."
A beautiful girl stood up to protest, and then a dozen or so young men and women of the same age stood up, all dissatisfied with Yao Feifei becoming the saint. Yao Qing looked at their appearance, her face turned pale, she pointed at them and angrily scolded, "You're talking nonsense, Yao Feifei became a saint, it was you who voted for her in the first place."
Elder Yao, didn't we choose Yao Feifei based on your suggestion Now that the Holy Master has returned, we need a true Saintess, not Yao Feifei.nd against Empress Cen. To Empress Cen, Feng Lingxi was the treasure of Yao Clan. Anyone who dared to touch her treasure would be considered as going against Empress Cen. Dugu Yu knew this, and Empres...
