Chapter 274: Seize Power 29

he unconsciously asked, "Xi'er, who gave you this necklace I've never seen you wear it before. This purple stone is really beautiful.""This was left to me by my mother. She gave it to me before she pa...Feng Lingxi looked at him, a little dazed, her expression very cute.

Huangfu Qingyun, seeing her expression, quickly changed the subject.

"I mean, I don't feel comfortable with you going out alone. If I get hungry later, I'll just eat."

Feng Lingxi returned to her seat and sat down, "Eat first and then go, I'll wait for you." Finishing her words, she placed her hands on her chin, looking at Huangfu Qingyun, truly waiting for him to eat.

Seeing her action, Huangfu Qingyun smiled and returned to his seat to continue eating. Feng Lingxi stared at him, watching his elegant demeanor while eating, finding it pleasing to the eye.

"Your Highness, you are so handsome, and even more handsome when you smile."

Wind Ling Xi's generous praise, chin resting on her hand, watched Huang Fu Qing Yun smile very happily. On the other hand, Huang Fu Qing Yun was a little embarrassed to be praised like this.

"Do you like me"

Huangfu Qingyun had held back for half a day before finally asking, feeling his face burning and his heart beating wildly. This was the first time he had confessed his feelings like a girl, afraid of being rejected, especially since she was still his unwedded Crown Princess.

"Like it."

Wind Ling Xi looked at the blush on Huang Fu Qing Yun's face, curiously reaching out to lightly tap his cheek. "You're so good to me, of course I like you, but why are you blushing"

Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly opened his eyes. Her actions made her face even redder, and he dodged her gaze, saying nervously, "The weather is a bit hot."

Feng Lingxi let out a soft "oh," and looked at Huangfu Qingyun's even redder cheeks. She reached out and fanned him gently, smiling and asking, "Like this Still hot"

Huangfu Qingyun walked away a distance, not daring to get too close to her, afraid that his own thoughts would be seen through by her.

"Much better, thank you."

"You've been so good to me, saving me and giving me good food and a nice place to stay. You're the best."

Huangpu Qingyun watched as she beamed a radiant smile at him, feeling his heart almost suffocate from her joy. He quickly averted his gaze, his expression flickering, and said, "I suddenly remember I have something to take care of. You go shopping by yourself, I'll be back soon."

Looking at his quickly departing back, Feng Lingxi was puzzled and muttered, "Didn't he say he was going to accompany me for a walk"

It's really strange to just leave like that.

Huangfu Qingyun walked away, soothing her wildly beating heart, feeling terribly flustered.

"Don't ask, don't ask."

"Your Highness, I have something to report."

Seeing the visitor, Huangfu Qingyun's expression calmed down. He spoke in a low voice, "What is it"

"His Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to investigate Miss Lin Xi's identity. I sent people to look into it secretly, but none of the towns in this area have anyone named Lin Xi."

"Didn't you"

Huangfu Qingyun frowned, seeing him nod, his expression doubtful.

"How could that be, she kept calling for Lin Xi, this Palace wouldn't mishear it."

"Could it not be Lin Xi, but someone else"

Huangfu Qingyun frowned, "Forget it, since we can't find out, let it be. She doesn't remember now, so there's no need to pursue it further."

He just needs to remember that Lin Xi is his Crown Princess, as for her identity and background, there's no need to figure it out.

After two days of rest in the mountains, Feng Fu's leg injury had improved considerably. Dugu City asked Ye Xi to find three horses nearby. After two days of recuperation, they began their journey to Yaozu. However, this route passed through the capital city of Chaos Dynasty. According to Feng Fu's opinion, they needed to buy some dried food there for the road.

After spending more than half a month at the Prince's Mansion, Feng Lingxi's injuries had almost healed. Feeling bored staying in the mansion, she couldn't help but want to go out and have a stroll. She kept pestering Huangfu Qingyun to take her out, and Huangfu Qingyun doted on her so much that everyone in the Prince's Mansion knew it. No one dared to say anything bad about them. In their eyes, Feng Lingxi had already become the mistress of the Prince's Mansion.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The only thing they were dissatisfied with regarding Feng Lingxi was her unknown background. Apart from that, they found the young lady chosen by the Crown Prince to be impeccable.

"Huángfǔ Qīngyún, the capital of Huāoxiá Dynasty is so fun, can I come out and play every day I don't need you to accompany me, I can come out by myself."

Feng Lingxi was sweating profusely as she strolled down the street, happily looking but not buying, utterly engrossed in the experience.

Huangpu Qingyun watched her excited expression, wiping her sweat from time to time. Seeing her so happy, the pampering in his eyes deepened even further.

"You can come out, but you have to have me with you."

Fei Lingxi pouted, unhappy. “Didn’t you say that the morning court of Emperor Huaxia was very safe Why do you have to accompany me Don't you have things to do”

Huangfu Qingyun looked at her pouted lips and smiled indulgently, "Even if you don't do anything, I can afford to support you."

Feng Lingxi stretched out her hand towards him, "Give me money, I want to buy something."

Huangfu Qingyun took out a silver ingot and gave it to her. Feng Lingxi looked at the stall in front of her and ran over. Huangfu Qingyun saw her run far away and hurriedly shouted, "Xi'er, don't run so fast."

Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi changed carriages in the market, just about to buy dry food, when they suddenly heard the voice, "Xi'er!" Their steps came to a halt, and they turned around abruptly. Looking at the crowded crowd, they wanted to find Xi'er's figure in the crowd, but they didn't see her.

"Ye Xi, I just heard someone call out for Xi'er."

獨孤城's eyes were still searching the crowd. Ye Xi looked at the king's anxious expression and comforted him, "Your Highness, no one called for the princess. You must have heard wrong."

"You heard right, I'm going to look around. You stay here and don't wander off."

Dugu Cheng ran out quickly, searching for Feng Lingxi's figure along the sides of the market. He couldn't have misheard it, that person called out "Xi'er," Xi'er must still be alive, right here.

"Boss, I want this."

Feng Lingxi handed the boss a silver ingot, picked up two ceramic dolls, and suddenly someone bumped into her. The ceramic doll in her hand fell to the ground. Feng Lingxi cried out, "My dolls!" She immediately knelt down and looked at the broken ceramic dolls on the ground, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Xī'er."

Huangfu Qingyun saw Feng Lingxi squatting at the stall, shouted, and hurried over. He bumped into Dugu City who was looking for Feng Lingxi, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry."

Dugu City just bumped into someone and also apologized. The two handsome men looked at each other, then hurried away.

"Little Evening."

Huangfu Qingyun walked over and squatted down, looking at Feng Lingxi's tear-filled eyes. He hurriedly helped her up, "It's just two dolls, I bought them for you before, don't cry."

Feng Lingxi bit her lip, "This is for you, it's a shame it got damaged."

"Then choose another one."

Huangfu Qingyun soothed her, and Feng Lingxi finally broke into a smile. She began to choose items at the stall. Huangfu Qingyun watched her smile and, fearing that people in the crowd might bump into her, reached out to protect her. His warm gesture just happened to block Duguo Cheng's line of sight as he searched for Feng Lingxi. He circled through the crowd several times but couldn't see Feng Lingxi. Disappointed, Duguo Cheng returned to Ye Xi's side and kept looking, but Feng Lingxi was still nowhere to be found.

"My lord."the Lord You aren't usually like this."Feng Lingxi's expression stiffened slightly, "No, I wonder what he wants to do"Xiaoli covered her mouth and smiled. Miss, your expression clearly shows that you...
