Chapter 1191: Smoke and Fire Rise

."Feng Ling Xi lowered her head, the obvious irritability between her brows made Dugu Yan raise an eyebrow, "Reflecting on what""My older brother scolded Yao Hua in the palace today for being disrespe..."I'm here because there are already fireworks, I just..."

Feng Lingxi felt a sudden awkwardness as she saw Tian Xiaomi staring at her intently. She didn't know what to say.

"I know the Queen's worries, I won't mess around. This time it's Wan'er's birthday, so I made a cake, but it won't happen again."

"Be more subtle."

Feng Ling's uneasiness grew stronger and stronger in her heart. Since the innkeeper had left after the last encounter, she felt this way for the first time since receiving this pouch. This time, Tian Xiao Mi told Feng Yi Xuan that her feeling of unease was back, and it had intensified considerably.

"Your Highness, the Lord seeks you."

Ye Xi came over and saw Tian Xiaomi was also there. She nodded towards her, "There are many guests outside who want to see Miss Wan'er, the Princess. The King asked you to take her there."

"I'll be there right away."

Feng Lingxi looked at Tian Xiaomi, "Let's go over there. We can eat this cake later ourselves. Let's not be seen by anyone."

"Okay."

Understanding Fenglingxi's meaning, Tian Xiaomi glanced at the way Wang Wan'er was staring longingly at the cake inside. "Tell Wang Wan'er, she seems to really like this cake."

Feng Lingxi walked in and leaned down to Wan'er's ear, whispering softly, "Wan'er, so many people came to celebrate your birthday today. Let's go out. This cake can be eaten when it gets dark, it'll be more atmospheric."

"Why do I have to wait until night I want to eat now."

After finishing, the little hand tapped beside her mouth, just like a mischievous kitten wanting to eat.

"To truly enjoy cake, you need candles. It has to be a dark night for the atmosphere, and you have to make a wish. That's how you eat cake."

"Good." Wan'er reluctantly glanced at the cake, then followed Feng Lingxi out. Tian Xiaomi and Feng Yixuan locked the door, leaving everyone to look at the cake before they went out.

After they left, a figure stealthily dodged the maids' eyes and slipped into the room. They took out a bag of powder and sprinkled it on top of the cake before quickly leaving.

Within the residence of the Lord of the Azure Dragon Manor, crowds surged like a tide. Feng Lingxi couldn't remember when it had been this lively. Even during the grand imperial banquets of old, there hadn't been such a throng. They had originally planned for a simple, flowing feast, but now that leaders from nearby tribes were all here to offer gifts, they had to increase the wine and food. This sudden influx had driven up costs, enough to frighten anyone!

"Your Highness, the liquor and dishes from the flowing water banquet at the Ya Lou will be delivered. Additionally, several chefs have been sent to assist."

Xiaoli walked in, followed by several chefs. Upon seeing Feng Lingxi, the chefs hurriedly bowed.

Since the Yamen is willing to help, let them help.

At present, she doesn't have this many people at her disposal, so she can only use these for now.

"Please tell Luoli that I thank her."

"Mother, the Orchid Pavilion is mine."

Wan'er raised her head and looked at her mother. The chefs saw Wan'er speak up and, with smiles on their faces, all said in unison, "The little princess is right, this pavilion already belongs to Miss Wan'er."

"Wan'er, are you really going to accept the Yalou"

Wǎn'ěr nodded, "It's good to have a lot of money."

"Fine, anyway, he took you as his disciple, he volunteered."

Arriving at the main hall with Wan'er, Feng Lingxi saw Duguxing and several tribal leaders drinking tea. She took Wan'er over, and the tribal leaders hurriedly stood up to greet them. Feng Lingxi was taken aback by their respectful attitude.

"See the Princess Consort of Chen."

"My lords, please don't be so courteous. I must thank you all for coming to my daughter's birthday celebration."

When the leaders heard Feng Lingxi say this, they showered Wan'er with praise. After praising Wan'er, they praised Feng Lingxi's beauty and intelligence, and then her medical skills, almost putting her on a pedestal.

Wind Lingxi accompanied him with a smile. No matter where you go, flattery is indispensable. Moreover, although it's known to be flattery, he enjoys it very much.

"We have all heard about the King of Chén and Queen of Chén's trip to Tumuw Town for support. In the future, if there is anything we can do to help, please just ask, and our tribes will gladly lend a hand and ease the burdens of the King of Chén."

"This king shall take his leave of you lords here."

Dugu Cheng dealt with it, these leaders' purpose today was simple: one was to celebrate Wan'er's birthday, the other was to test Dugu Cheng's intentions towards their tribes, and the other was to see the real situation of Linxi County City. After all, opportunities were rare, if there was a chance, they still wanted to turn over and be the masters.

Feng Lingxi hugged Wan'er and, listening to their flattering words, finally endured until the time for the banquet. Dugu Cheng greeted them to eat and drink, while he took Wan'er to greet others.

Yao Nationality Grand Council

Luo Li and Li Wu Yan were sitting in a pavilion drinking tea when Feng Yu Xi came to report.

"Chieftain, I just found out that Xinshui went to the Chen Prince's Mansion and put poison in the gift for the young princess given by Tian Xiaomi."

"Damn it!"

Luo Li got up and slapped Feng Yu Xi's face with a wave of her hand. This sudden slap caught Feng Yu Xi off guard, causing her cheek to swell up painfully.

“I didn’t ask you to watch her, I told you not to let her hurt Wan’er, and you let her poison her Where is she”

Feng Yu Xi was pressing down on the anger in her heart, she didn't expect that she would still be troubled by Feng Ling Xi's daughter being beaten. This little thing had really made her suffer a lot, this score, she remembered it.

"Unknown whereabouts."

"Let's go to the Chen Wangfu first. We can't let Wan'er eat that thing, or else Feng Lingxi will definitely blame us for it."

Li Wuyan opened his mouth, he rarely saw Luoli in such an atmosphere, but it could be seen how important Wan'er was to the Yao clan.

Luo Li hurried out, Li Wu Yan looked at Feng Yu Xi beside him, his tone warning.

"You'd better restrain yourself. If you anger him, things will only get worse."

As the sun began to set, casting long shadows and a chill in the air, Li Wu-yan walked away. Jian quickly followed him.

Inside and outside the residence of the Duke of Chen, there were hundreds of tables set for a flowing feast. The people from all over the county were celebrating, eating and drinking merrily. There was great excitement in the air, and conversations between guests were filled with praise for Feng Lingxi and Dugu City's actions. After three rounds of drinks, their compliments became bolder.

"If the Crown Prince became emperor, our common people would surely be able to live such peaceful and prosperous lives every day."

Isn't that right Crown Prince Chen really knows what our people need.

"The Princess Consort's medical skills are superb. I heard she will be opening a clinic in the city soon to treat the common people, and she won't charge any consultation fees. What a kind heart she has, truly benefiting the people."

"Not quite..."

Luoli and Li Wuyan kept praising each other along the way. Listening to the heartfelt words from the common people, Luoli's gaze fell on Li Wuyan, a smirk playing at the corner of her lips.

"What do you think the Emperor would do if he heard these words from the people"

"It's not up to you."

If he disagrees, nothing here will reach the capital. If he wishes it, I believe that soon, Emperor Yuan Zhao will take notice of Dugu City.

In two months will be the Empress Dowager's birthday. Don't forget, she is the biological mother of King Chen. Her birthday banquet, the Emperor will definitely make them go back to celebrate with her. At that time, this capital city will probably become quite interesting.

"Are you planning to send them to the capital city"e now, no wonder the Third Prince treasures you so much."The Third Royal Consort smiled shyly, “Ayu has always been very good to me. I never thought I would marry him and become his consort. He told m...
