her adopted sister. There’s no need to delay, we shall marry you off to my deputy general today. You must serve me and him well, and give birth to children for him."Shui Ci Fei was frightened by what..."You rascal."

The Empress smiled, looking at Feng Ling Xi's pure eyes. After losing her memory, she was truly simple and adorable.

Huangfu Qingyun also didn't expect her mother to ask her this, and she didn't know herself, which left him at a loss for words.

"Your Highness, why are you not speaking"

Feng Lingxi waved her hand in front of his face. Huangfu Qingyun came to his senses and hurriedly said, "I'll be your wife."

"What is a wife"

Huangfu Qingyun's lips twitched slightly, a headache coming on. How could he tell her this

The Empress couldn't help but smile.

"Xier, it means you'll always be with Yun'er. After this, you'll stay together, have children and grandchildren, and live happily ever after."

"I don't want to."

Feng Lingxi rejected without even thinking. Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously, "Why"

The Empress hadn't expected her outright refusal. She stared at the disgruntled expression on her face, unfazed.

"I don't want to have children."

Huangfu Qingyun was stunned, her handsome face flushed red. She understood

Why

The Empress seemed to have taken an interest, watching her son's expression was truly amusing.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Huangfu Qingyun, and whispered to the Empress, "They said childbirth is fatal. I don't want to."

The Empress was amused by her words, "Who told you that This palace is living well with Yun'er."

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangfu Qingyun, falling into thought.

"Mother, it's too early to discuss this now. Let her recover first, and we can talk later."

Seeing Feng Lingxi like this, Huangfu Qingyun didn't want her to overthink it, afraid she would get a headache.

The Empress nodded and steered the conversation in a different direction.

"Xier, could you let me have a look at the necklace you're wearing"

Feng Ling hastily took off the necklace and gave it to the Empress. Seeing the Empress staring intently at the necklace, she quickly asked, "Your Majesty, do you like this necklace Would you like me to give it to you"

The Empress shook her head, smiling. "This necklace is yours; I cannot accept it."

She now knows how many lives were lost for this necklace, yet she wanted to give it away. There must be many stories on her body.

"Xī'er, have you been thinking about some past events recently"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, looking at the Empress's concerned eyes and whispered, "Should I remember something"

"No, don't worry about it if you can't remember."

"Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly said, afraid that she would faint from a headache."

The Empress stood up, "This Palace shall return first. You should keep this well."

Feng Lingxi took the purple star and watched Empress Dowager's departing figure, her face filled with confusion.

"Your Highness, is the Empress not pleased"

Huangfu Qingyun pulled her up, "Mother isn't angry. Are you hungry I'll take you to eat something."

Feng Lingxi nodded and followed him out.

In the bustling marketplace, Feng Lingxi skipped happily from side to side, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Suddenly, a barrage of shouting and cursing reached her ears. Feng Lingxi looked over and saw a crowd gathered, the source of the noise emanating from within their midst.

"What happened"

Feng Lingxi ran over and, looking at the crowd of people gathered around, she edged closer. She saw several burly men surrounding a few young girls in ragged clothes. Those girls had bloodstains on their bodies and were crying pitifully.

"These are slaves, all captured from outside."

Huangfu Qingyun looked at the bound slaves, and Feng Lingxi explained.

Feng Lingxi watched as the rough漢's whip lashed against them, and the slaves cried even louder.

"Ten taels of silver each, these are all beautiful women. Buy them as concubines and they can give birth to sons for you."

Feng Lingxi looked at those slaves, about her age, with clean faces and good looks.

“Can I buy them all”

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangpu Qingyun, tugged at his sleeve, "They are too pitiful."

How could Huanghpu Qingyun possibly refuse Feng Lingxi's request He told the burly men, "I'll buy these slaves." He handed them a silver note. The big men looked at the hundred taels of silver note and couldn't stop smiling.

"You don't have to look any further."

Feng Ling hurriedly went over to help the slaves up, and smiling at them said, "I bought you all. Come back with me."

Lowering her head, Xiao Li looked up at the woman standing before her. The face, identical to the Princess's, and her radiant smile, stunned her.

"You..."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, the smile on her face disappeared, "What's wrong"

Xiao Li glanced at the young master standing behind the princess, hurriedly masking her emotions so as not to expose herself.

"Miss, you're so kind."

Wind Ling smiled brightly at Xiao Li, "You have such a sweet mouth."

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Xiaoli and saw that her eyes looking at Feng Lingxi were different. He was a little puzzled in his heart. Could it be that they knew each other

"Xier, send them back. Let's go shopping"

Feng Ling Xi shook her head, looking at the wounds on the slave's body. Her eyes revealed a look of sympathy, she grasped Xiao Li's hand and stared at her wound, "Does it hurt"

"It doesn't hurt."

Xiao Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, enduring the bitterness in her heart. Didn't the princess recognize her Why did that young master call her Xi'er, just like how the king addressed her

"I'll take you back to apply medicine, you'll be fine soon."

Feng Ling Xi turned and looked at Huang Fu Qing Yun, "Let's go back to the mansion, we'll come again tomorrow."

Huangfu Qingyun took another look at Xiao Li, always feeling that the slave's gaze towards Xi'er was amiss. It seemed he needed to inquire thoroughly. If they knew each other, why didn't she recognize her Was she a friend or foe He had to find out.

Xiao Li followed them back to the Prince's Mansion. Along the way, Xiao Li found that the Princess didn't recognize her at all, and moreover, the Prince was extremely kind to the Princess.

"Take them down to get cleaned up, and let Xi'er choose when they're done."

Feng Lingxi looked at those slaves, pointing to Xiaoli, "Your Highness, I like her."

Huangpu Qingyun glanced at Xiaoli and asked, "What's your name"

"My name is Xiao Li."

"Xiao Li," Feng Ling Xi repeated her name, happily taking her hand. "Then will you be with me from now on"

"Thank you, miss. I will obey."

Huangfu Qingyun motioned for them to leave, then asked Feng Lingxi, "Why did Xi'er choose that Xiao Li I think the other slaves are not bad either."

Because she was the most well-behaved, they cried when they were beaten, but she didn't cry. I don't like people who cry a lot.

Feng Ling Xi's explanation made Huang Fu Qing Yun smile indulgently, "If Xi likes it, then keep it."

"Your Highness, you're so kind to me."

Looking at the smile on her face, Huangpu Qingyun touched her head, his eyes becoming even more gentle. The pampered expression made Feng Lingxi look at him, smiling even brighter. Her clear eyes were free of any impurities.

"Xi'er, about the slaves you bought, I need to check things over before they can stay by your side. Don't mind me, it's just a formality."te,""Come up."Feng Lingxi commanded, Feng Yu Mo hurriedly went up and sat opposite her, sitting upright, not daring to look at Feng Lingxi. His demeanor was as if she would eat him."Are you afraid of...
