Feng Qi didn't take these little tricks seriously at all. What's the difference between sitting and standing? Besides, she had already sat outside long enough.

Looking at the old lady with gray hair on her temples, Feng Qi really didn't want to cause any unpleasantness. She still respected the elderly and loved the young, but the look the empress dowager gave her was not kind at all.

"I heard that Miss Feng is about to marry into the Xuanwang Mansion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Qi replied.

"I heard that the Regent promised that he would only have Miss Feng in his life?"

The Queen Mother asked again.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Qi answered again.

She just wanted to roll her eyes in her heart. Didn't the Queen Mother say that she was worshipping Buddha? She knew a lot. After hearing this, she wanted to know who was so talkative.

Looking at this woman who was neither humble nor arrogant, the empress dowager felt as if she had punched cotton and could not hold back the smile on her face.

"Miss Feng, how can a man only stay with one woman? Ordinary people would have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the prince. How can you be so ignorant of etiquette and act so willfully!"

"Your Highness, this is the prince's own decision. I have no complaints about it."

Feng Qi still answered calmly.

Who said that men have to have three wives and four concubines? Didn't her grandfather, two uncles, grandpa, and uncle all have only one wife? Feng Qi felt that the queen mother just didn't want to see others happy. After all, the late emperor had many concubines, and the queen mother was not favored by the late emperor at that time.

"you..."

The Queen Mother had never met such a sharp-tongued girl. In the past, whenever she said so, those people would have been so scared that they would have knelt on the ground and began to apologize. But she never expected that the girl in front of her would have cleared herself so easily.

"Queen Dowager, Miss Feng is so well-educated and sensible that she would not make such an unreasonable request. This must be an agreement between the Regent and the General's Mansion."

A young woman who had been standing beside the empress dowager reached out and gently stroked her chest, speaking softly.

"You are always so kind-hearted and always want to speak for others."

The Queen Mother pretended to be angry and tapped her forehead, but anyone could hear the fondness in her tone.

"Isn't it because I've been around the Queen Mother for so long that I've been tainted by her?"

The woman complained with a smile.

"Haha, you, are you praising me in a roundabout way?"

The Queen Mother couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the love in her eyes could not be hidden at all.

"Miss Feng, although this is the decision made by the prince himself, you must understand that you cannot be the only one around the prince. You must be magnanimous and put the continuation of the prince's lineage first!"

Feng Qi: I understand nothing. She can't control others, but she is the only one who can be by the side of the Regent. What about having children? It's not like I can't have children myself. Do I need others?

She felt that the Queen Mother was simply mentally ill and was meddling in too many matters!

"Your Majesty, I will never share a husband with anyone else in my life!"

What's the point of bullying her here? If you make her angry, she will deal with you no matter whether you are an old lady or not.

"presumptuous!"

"I have been talking to you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. Do you really think that with the support of the Regent, I dare not do anything to you?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body was shaking. No one had dared to make her angry like this in nearly ten years.

Now even the woman beside her didn't dare to speak to persuade her. She just looked at Feng Qi with a look that was difficult to understand.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what I did wrong. Please tell me clearly."

"You are so jealous, and you don't even take my teachings to heart. Isn't this disrespectful to me?"

Feng Qi finally understood that when someone wants to find fault with you, no matter if you are wrong or not, they will always make up a few charges against you. Otherwise, how would these false accusations come about?

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, you said I am jealous. Who am I jealous of?"

They haven't even gotten married yet, and there aren't any messy women around, so how can she be considered jealous? What the hell is she jealous of!

"Also, since I entered the palace, I have never been disrespectful to the Queen Mother. I have remembered your teachings in my heart. I just expressed my thoughts. How can it be considered disrespectful to you?"

Feng Qi said this with a look of grievance, as if he had been really wronged.

The Queen Mother's face turned pale with anger. She didn't expect that the woman in front of her would be so stubborn. She didn't know what to do to her. It wasn't that she was afraid of the man, but she was worried that it would get out and ruin her reputation.

"Miss Feng, the Queen Mother is doing this for your own good. After all, the Regent is the God of War in everyone's eyes. If word gets out that there is only one princess, I'm afraid people will say that Miss Feng is ignorant."

The woman beside the Queen Mother spoke again.

Feng Qi really wanted to laugh. She said before that she was a little bit tainted by the Empress Dowager. In her opinion, this might not be completely tainted, otherwise how could she distort the facts so much!

"Who is this lady?"

Are there really any Tom, Dick, or Harry who want to give orders? Feng Qi asked politely.

"Miss Feng, you are too polite. I am just a servant of the Queen Mother. I am not a lady. Just call me Mu Lian."

"What are you talking about? I will ask the emperor to confer you the title of princess one day. You have been working hard by my side for ten years. I have long regarded you as my granddaughter. You are much more precious than those young ladies."

The Queen Mother was immediately displeased upon hearing that. Anyone who was not a fool could understand the implicit meaning of the words. Feng Qi just smiled. The two of them sang in unison and almost sounded like storytellers.

"Ms. Feng, although you live in the general's mansion, you are still an orphan. It would be a huge joke for you to be the principal wife. If you are still so strong and don't allow the prince to take a concubine, it would be even more ignorant!"

"Although Mu Lian is also an orphan, she has been with me since she was a child. When she is canonized as a princess, her status will not be lower than yours. I will decide to marry her to the Ninth Prince as a concubine. You should have no objection, right?"

Feng Qi: “…”

This old witch really thinks she is easy to bully. She has already said that she will not share a husband with others. Now she is asking if she has any objection. She must be treated for her mental illness.

"Miss Feng, I know I am not worthy of the prince, so please rest assured that I will never fight for anything. Just let me stay by the prince's side and serve him."

Before Feng Qi could even open her mouth, Mu Lian quickly begged. Her sincere and pitiful look would really make anyone feel soft-hearted. If it were someone else, with the pressure from the Queen Mother, they would agree even if they were reluctant.

Their plan was great, but it was a pity that they chose the wrong person.
