Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Everyone Imagines a Dramatic Scene

The more Feng Qing thought, the more apprehensive she became.

The Lin Family originally had a way out by entering Huayun Temple, but the Regent Prince insisted on turning her into a lowly concubine.

The Little Emperor shifted the blame of switching bridal sedans onto the Lin Family, but Rong Ling still dealt with Marquis Jing’an, Feng Lei Ting. Thinking of seeing Gu Zhenzhu earlier, Feng Qing shuddered involuntarily.

Feng Lei Ting’s days would not be easy in the future.

As Feng Qing thought about how she lied to Rong Ling earlier, saying that the Feng Family proposed the Little Emperor to poison Rong Ling, her heart pounded with fear. If Rong Ling found out that she fabricated the whole story, what would Rong Ling do to deal with her?

Feng Qing’s face turned pale. She was terrified that she might blurt out in her sleep that she made it all up. If that happened, how could she survive? Knowing this person’s methods, she wouldn’t even have a quick death.

The more Feng Qing thought, the worse she felt, completely unaware that her gaze had been fixed on Rong Ling.

Rong Ling’s face had darkened, and his voice was a bit deep: "What are you looking at?"

Feng Qing was startled awake, quickly took out a serving chopstick, and placed a dish in Rong Ling’s bowl: "Prince, you must be hungry, please eat something."

Rong Ling squinted at her, speaking coldly: "What are you plotting now?"

Feng Qing’s heart sank immediately. It was rare for her to show some goodwill, yet he didn’t believe it.

Ha, just wait and see if I ever bother with you again.

Feng Qing started eating, not even looking at Rong Ling by her side. Rong Ling glanced at her a few times but then ignored her, eating with extreme elegance.

Not few people in the hall secretly peered at the prince, glaring at Feng Qing after looking at him.

Feng Qing felt speechless. What did this have to do with her? Why glare at her just because they looked? Don’t they know this is a Cannibal Flower?

Feng Qing pouted silently. The rest of the palace banquet passed without incident. Although the noble ladies from various noble families were jealous and angry at Feng Qing, none dared to bother her at this time.

After all, Feng Qing still held the title of Regent Queen right now, but how the Prince Regent would ultimately deal with this Princess Consort was something everyone eagerly anticipated. Moreover, everyone didn’t believe that Rong Ling would truly want such a Princess Consort.

Before the banquet ended, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor stood up and gradually left.

Empress Feng Yao also stood up to leave with them. However, as she passed by Rong Ling, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Rong Ling with a grieving gaze, saying, "Are you punishing me for not marrying you by doing this?"

After finishing her words, she turned and walked away, while the courtiers and noble women behind all looked at the Prince Regent with peculiar expressions.

Why did they feel there was something between the Prince Regent and the Empress?

Many in the hall began imagining an elaborate drama; actually, the whole bride-swap event went like this.

The Prince Regent liked the Empress, but she was married off into the palace through her mother’s schemes. Unable to attain his desire, the Prince Regent began to revenge against the Empress’s mother, directly degrading her to a lowly concubine.

So the truth was like this.

Many young ladies in the hall were heartbroken, realizing that the Regent Prince’s affection was for the Empress. But it made sense, after all, the second miss of Feng Family was Dayan’s top talented woman, the top female scholar of Bailu Academy.

It was natural for the Prince Regent to like her, but they were still very upset.

In the hall, although no one said anything, the meaningful glances were full of intricate dramas.
