his king doesn't want to ask too much."Feng Lingxi smiled at him and said, "Thank you."With this level of trust, she felt at ease.She didn't want too many people to know about the conversation she had...Feng Lingxi went out early this morning and said she wouldn't be back today.
Dugu Cheng knew about this, so he looked at Wan'er. This girl was surprisingly stubborn. It had been over a month since they met, but she refused to call Xi'er "mother" and wouldn't apologize.
And Xier felt the same way. She thought that even a child like Wan'er was like this, and when she grew up, she would be even more uncontrollable. So, she argued with her and ignored her.
Not even his birthday party was he interested in.
"Your Highness, are you truly not going back to celebrate your little princess's first birthday"
If the guests arrive and the princess is not here, it would be a bad thing if this got out.
Both the mother and daughter have been at odds for over a month, she's worn out just looking at it.
"Isn't she the one who refuses to bow her head Then let her continue." Feng Lingxi's voice was cold, "Besides, it's just a first birthday party. What's there to celebrate Does she want everyone in the world to cater to her"
But she was still just a child.
Xiao Li whispered, "Your Highness, she is still the future of our Yao Clan. A little temper isn't unusual, is it"
"Is that all you've got"
Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "If you want to go back and be with her, then go. I'll go out myself."
Feng Lingxi urged her horse forward and rode away, Sun Cheng and the others immediately followed suit.
Xiao Li resigned herself to following.
Inside the county office, Wan'er sat in the place they had arranged for her, watching the congratulatory gifts from all walks of life. Toys piled up like mountains, but she was not happy at all, and even her eyes were red with tears.
"When will this child be strong enough"
Shutai sighed, "Xier is just like that too. Even at this age, she still argues with her own daughter."
"Mother, Xi'er is right. Wan'er truly needs a good lesson. Otherwise, she will suffer in the future."
獨孤城 now stands on Feng Lingxi's side. After this period of observation, he is truly certain that Wan'er has a deep grudge against Xi'er. She is just a child, how could she have such resentment No matter where Xi'er left her, it shouldn't be like this.
How can he be this way at such a young age What will happen in the future
He owed Wan'er too much, but Xi'er didn't owe her anything.
"You're saying Xi'er really isn't planning on just having a son and then abandoning Wan'er"
Shutai's slightly worried. Lately, Xier has been focusing on her health and often brings up wanting to have a son with Cheng'er. Shutai worries for the first time that if Xier is really pregnant, she might not want Wan'er anymore.
After all, she is Xi'er's daughter. No matter how bad she is, she is still her daughter.
"Mother concubine, Xi'er will not abandon Wan'er."
Dugu Cheng soothed his mother, "It's just that Wan'er will suffer a loss."
"My lord, this is a gift from Crown Prince Wang."
Ye Xi instructed someone to carry the box in. Dugu City looked at Shu Taifei, "Mother concubine, I'll go deal with it first."
Shutai arrived beside Wan'er and saw her sitting with the nurse, her eyes fixed on the people coming and going at the door.
"Waner, tell grandma, is there anything you like"
Suddenly, Wan'er rushed into Shu Taifei's arms and burst into tears.
The Noble Consort Shu held her close with concern, “What’s wrong”
This poor dear, this crying is breaking my heart.
Waner's cries drew everyone's attention.
It's time for the princess to play with her dolls, she must be wanting to play.
Without knowing who started it, the crowd gathered around and everyone had already put what they were going to use for picking lots into their designated places.
"My Lord, the Princess instructed Xiao Li to give this to you when she left. She said it was placed on the divination board during their game of chance."
Ye Xi handed the box to the Prince, and Duguo City opened it to look at the purple star inside, his face full of shock.
The Queen actually still likes the little princess very much. This Zi Xing is a sacred object of the Yao Clan's Master.
"I hope Wan'er doesn't draw this one."
Dugu Cheng looked worried. Xi'er was also afraid that she would draw the Purple Star, but as Wan'er's mother, Xi'er's actions were also normal.
"Put it up and have someone keep an eye on it."
This purple star is a sacred artifact of the Yao clan. Although not many people know about it, this place is also among their own people. However, there are many people here today, and I'm afraid that with so many people around, there might be an opportunity for someone to take advantage of the situation.
Ye Xi added Zixing, but Feng Lingxi didn't appear. The crowd began to murmur, and later, someone learned that the mother and daughter had a falling out, and they started blaming Feng Lingxi. After all, it was not uncommon for a mother to argue with a child under a year old, and who would say the child was wrong.
"Your Highness, do you think the little princess will choose Zixing"
"I don't know, it's best not to choose."
Feng Ling's voice was slightly cold, "This child's personality isn't suitable."
"So you still gave Zixing to Yexi."
Xiao Li didn't understand the princess's thoughts. Logically speaking, if the princess didn't want to, she would just give a random personal item.
As the first child, there's no way she could really not care.
Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "We have to give the Yao clan an explanation."
"The princess probably doesn't think that way."
Feng Lingxi didn't answer. No matter what Xiaoli said, Feng Lingxi didn't mention Wan'er.
Facing a pile of things, Wan'er stood there, staring at it for a long time.
"Wanting, you like what grab what."
The Dowager Empress pointed at the things in front of her, "These are all treasures."
Wan'er stood there, silent and motionless for a long time.
"Wǎner, what's wrong"
Dugu City walked to her side and knelt down. Wann'er looked around, her eyes seeming to be searching for someone.
Du Gu Cheng looked at her like this, softly said, "Your mother went out, if you really want her to accompany you, you have to bow your head and admit your mistake, otherwise she won't..." Before he could finish speaking, Wan Er suddenly burst into tears. Everyone was at a loss, Du Gu Cheng hurriedly hugged Wan Er and soothed her.
"Wan'er, don't cry."
Wan'er's crying grew louder, and someone began to criticize Feng Lingxi, saying she shouldn't have left her child behind and that she wasn't a qualified mother.
Although the voice was not loud, it fermented very quickly, and soon many people said that Feng Lingxi shouldn't have gone out, clamoring to call Feng Lingxi back to celebrate Wan'er's birthday with her.
Dugu Cheng originally wanted to coax her, but seeing Wan'er repeatedly pester him, his handsome face darkened, "Like this, even father doesn't want you."
Wan'er's cries stopped abruptly, her eyes welling up as she looked at Dugu City.
It was precisely this way that Dugu City's heart found its answer.
"Whether you understand what your father is saying or not, there's one thing you must be clear about: you were wrong this time. Your father is on your mother's side. If you keep acting like this, don't blame me for being just like your mother."
獨孤城's voice made Wan'er afraid to cry, she just stared at him blankly.
"Er'er, what are you doing You scared Wan'er."
The Imperial Noble Consort rushed forward, taking Wan'er into her arms. Looking at the child's reddened eyes, she felt filled with sympathy.
"I give you a stick of incense to consider. Since it has come, accept it."
As if possessed by magic, Du Gu Cheng's words worked. Wan Er stopped crying and stood up, swaying a little as she walked towards the treasures. She looked at them seriously for a while, then grabbed a purple star and walked toward Du Gu Cheng.Dowager Empress' face was ashen, her gaze fixed on Shu Taifei."Empress Dowager, is she not comparing us to dogs Is this not a humiliation""Shame"Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, her eyes suddenly tur...
