esides, she’s having so much fun here, and you all like her. She’s going to inherit the chieftain position from the Yao tribe anyway, so why shouldn’t I let her be”Feng Lingxi's words made the Third E..."Ye Xi, step back."

Dugu Cheng's face darkened, and he gave Ye Xi a look. Ye Xi glared resentfully at Feng Lingxi before storming out in anger.

"Ali, you go out too. This princess wants to speak with Fourth Prince alone."

Xiaoli smiled and stepped back, walking to the door. She looked at Yexi who was making a sour face, gave him a glance, and stood aside.

"You are so desperate for men during the summer that you have to marry here, knowing my lord has already taken a wife, and still you insist on marrying him. What is the princess's intention"

As soon as Yexi spoke, Xiao Li became angry, crossing her arms and glaring at him menacingly.

Good heavens, Ye Xi! How dare you speak to the princess like that If they weren't acting right now, she would really kick him and make him open his eyes wide to see who he was talking to.

"It's none of your business who our princess marries. She can marry whoever she wants, it's not like she's marrying you anyway." After saying that, she even let out a proud and aloof snort, her infuriatingly arrogant demeanor made Ye Xi clench his fists, grinding them together with a creaking sound.

"What a shame!"

Ye Xi cursed, walked to the side, crossed her arms, and gritted her teeth in anger.

Xiao Li glared at him, unwilling to argue. She'd wait; he'd get his comeuppance later.

Inside, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng looked at each other. Dugu Cheng strode forward, looking at Feng Lingxi who was veiled. Feng Lingxi lifted the veil, revealing a strange face. Dugu Cheng's joyful expression disappeared instantly, replaced by hesitation as he took two steps back, staring at this unfamiliar face with suspicion.

Feng Lingxi, seeing Dugu Cheng's reaction, suddenly felt something stirring within her.

"Fourth King, does my appearance match yours"

A strange voice, a strange face. Dugu City looked at the woman before him, unsure if it was Xi'er or someone else

"Are you Princess YaoHua"

Du Gucheng paused for half a moment before asking, seeing her radiant smile, she stepped forward and grabbed his hand. Du Gucheng instinctively took two steps back, avoiding her touch.

"Please respect yourself, Princess."

Feng Lingxi suppressed a smile, such a disguised Dugu City was truly interesting. Even she couldn't recognize him. It seemed her disguise technique was very successful.

Speaking in a slightly strained voice, he completely cast doubt. It seemed that he had also managed to deceive Tai Hou and Dugu Yan.

"Fourth Prince, this princess will eventually marry you and become your queen. How about we cultivate our feelings first"

Feng Lingxi said she was going to step forward and grab his arm again, but Dugucheng retreated once more, avoiding her touch.

"Dugu City, this princess will give you another chance, will you marry this princess or not"

Feng Lingxi's voice was loud. Ye Xi outside heard Feng Lingxi's words and angrily clenched her fists, muttering in her mouth, "What a shameless person."

"Who are you scolding"

Xiao Li glared angrily at Ye Xi, "Idiot, you didn't even recognize the princess! I don't know how you manage to be a guard."

Ye Xi let out a cold snort and refused to speak to her.

Inside the room, Dugu City's handsome face turned ashen. "Princess Yaohua, please return. Tomorrow, this King will meet Crown Prince Huangpu at the post house. This marriage, this King is afraid he cannot comply."

Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng's determined expression and said in her voice, "Alright, this is what you said. Don't go back on your word when the time comes and refuse to marry me."

"Xi'er"

Hearing Feng Lingxi's voice, Dugu Cheng looked at Yao Huagong in surprise. This face, this voice

Feng Ling Xi took off the human skin mask, revealing her true face. Dugong Cheng's eyes widened in shock.

"Xier, is it you"

Dugu Cheng excitedly stepped forward, but before he could even reach Feng Ling Xi, she sidestepped him. Seeing her actions, Dugu Cheng was puzzled, "Xi'er, what's wrong"

Feng Ling Xi lifted her beautiful eyes, imitating his just-spoken tone, "Fourth Prince, please respect yourself. This princess is Princess Yao Hua."

When Du Gucheng heard this, he thought back to his own words just now and instantly understood. She had just been testing him, but she succeeded.

"Xier, you were wearing a human skin mask just now. I really didn't recognize you, and your voice changed too. You can't blame this king for not recognizing you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City's current appearance, thoughtfully asked, "Didn't you really recognize him just now"

"No."

"Do you think you can fool both Tai Hou and Dugu Yan"

Dugu Cheng mused, "Personality, voice, and appearance have all changed. Dugu Yan and the Empress dowager's side should be fine."

"That's good then. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid I'll have to enter the palace these few days."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Then you be careful in the palace, don't let them see through you."

"You can't even tell, they should be able to tell even less."

Dugu Cheng pulled Feng Ling Xi down to sit beside him, "Xi'er, tell me, these past few days have you thought of me Are you doing well"

"You asked me how I was doing The whole city is spreading rumors that you won't marry me, and I've lost all face."

Feng Lingxi's discontented pout, Dugu Cheng looked at her like this, with an innocent expression.

"Xier, I'm not marrying Yao Hua Princess. Didn't we do this according to your wishes"

If he didn't do this, how could he help her clear her name and make the Emperor and his court focus all their attention on Princess Yaohua and him

"You still need to put in more effort. You absolutely cannot agree to marry Princess Yaohua. You have to get the Empress Dowager to let me move into the palace for a while. Once I'm there and it becomes unbearable, she'll only then concede to you, allowing you to marry Princess Yaohua."

Dugu Cheng held her hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Xi'er, I really want you to stay by my side. But right now, we can only be like this, sneaking around. I'm sorry to put you through this."

Feng Lingxi reached out and hugged him, "Dugu City, I'll come find you every day these days. You can see me every day."

Dugu City gently tapped her nose with affection, "It's a daily torture to see you, yet have to argue with you and act utterly disgusted by you. Just thinking about it, this king feels so heartbroken."

"Then what other choices do you have"

Feng Ling Xi looked at the helplessness in Du Gu Cheng's eyes, and quickly pressed a kiss on his lips. Du Gu Cheng pressed her head down and deepened the kiss until Xiao Li's voice came from outside the door. Feng Ling Xi then pushed Du Gu Cheng away, straightened the clothes that Du Gu Cheng had pulled off, hurriedly tidied up, put on the human skin mask, and covered it with a veil.

"Dugu Cheng, listen well to this princess, you...this princess has set her sights on you."

Dugu City looked at her acting, his eyes full of pampering smiles, cooperating with her performance, "Princess Yao Hua, please behave yourself!"

"Dugu City, you wait for this princess."

The two of them argued back and forth, their voices rising in anger. After a while, Feng Lingxi stormed out, puffing her cheeks, and said to Xiao Li, "Ali, let's go!"

Ye Xi watched them leave, just as she was about to enter the house, she heard the sound of a vase being broken inside. She was so frightened that she rushed in, only to find the King touching his lips and smiling like an idiot, while on the ground lay a shattered expensive vase. hurriedly going forward to grab her mother's hand and ask, "Looking at him like that, he really is pitiful.""I'm fine with this. If you think he can be your dad, then call him that. I won't be jealou...
