Su Fengyi's smile and acquiescence gave Xue Yu courage.
He was still smiling. The angle of his smile, the way he knelt, and his body posture were all the most beautiful. He had been practicing secretly for a long time.
He knows his own appearance and has known it since he was a child.
When he was a child, he always hated his face. Is it normal for a man to be more handsome than a woman?
He hated people talking about his appearance, and because of this, he had fought with his cousin from his uncle's family countless times.
For this reason, Xue Yu never liked to laugh since he was a child. He wanted to use a cold attitude to show his masculinity.
But now, having lost everything, having nothing left, and being reduced to dust, he was extremely grateful that at least he still had his appearance as a weapon to use.
Because everyone knows that the eldest princess loves beauties.
He was only worried that he wasn't doing well enough to impress the princess.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Today’s matter is either success or death.
Given his behavior of offending the eldest princess today, if the eldest princess gets angry, the only way waiting for him is to be beaten to death.
He had been planning for a long time and was determined to make a desperate move. This was his only and last chance.
Xue Yu knelt and looked up at Su Fengyi. On his face was a smile of impeccable and complete submission.
He looked straight into her eyes, not missing any expression on her face, and then slowly reached his hand inside from the hem of her skirt, little by little, and touched the eldest princess's stockings.
The eldest princess still didn't say anything, and continued to look at him with a condescending smile.
The eldest princess did not refuse, which meant that he did the right thing, but Xue Yu didn't know what to do next.
The Xue family was the first royal merchant of the Mu Dynasty. They were engaged in the business of selling salt. Pearls were as valuable as dirt and gold was as valuable as iron. This was exactly what the Xue family was talking about.
Xue Yu was a young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and grew up in a wealthy and luxurious environment.
As the second son of the second branch of the Xue family, he does not have the family responsibilities of his cousin from the eldest branch.
So he should have lived a happy, wealthy and glorious life.
But the Xue family's expectations of him were much higher than those for his cousin, and their discipline of him was also much stricter than that for his cousin.
Because Xue Yu showed a talent for reading since he was a child. He could read at the age of two, recite poems at the age of five, speak eloquently at the age of ten, passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve, and became a juren at the age of fifteen.
At that time, Emperor Taizu showed mercy and recruited talents regardless of their background. He allowed royal merchants to take part in the imperial examinations. This rule seemed to be tailor-made for Xue Yu.
If the imperial merchants want to remain standing and maintain their business for a long time, they need to have someone in the court.
But if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. After all, others are not as reliable as your own people.
The appearance of Xue Yu made the head of the Xue family realize that if Xue Yu could come to the fore and gain a foothold in the court, the Xue family would no longer have to rely on others.
Therefore, Xue Yu's studies became the most important thing for the Xue family.
In order to avoid affecting Xue Yu's studies, the old lady of the Xue family kept a close eye on any romantic matters between men and women and would not allow Xue Yu to even touch them.
What Xue Yu did today was the same thing that a maid did to him in the study last year.
At that time, the maid was helping him get up early and put on his shoes. As she was putting on her shoes, Xue Yu felt something was wrong.
When he lowered his head, he saw the maid looking up at him and smiling, calling him "Young Master" in a delicate voice, and then a small hand moved up along his stockings.
Xue Yu was so frightened that he screamed:
"what you do!"
He jumped up immediately, without even having time to put on his shoes, and ran out the door.
Later, the girl disappeared, and no one knew whether it was her mother or the old lady of the Xue family who dealt with her.
But now, the eldest princess neither scolded loudly nor ran away. She sat firmly in the chair, still looking at him with a smile.
Does that mean he should continue?
Xue Yu was just like the maid, moving up little by little along the princess's stockings.
Feeling the harmlessness and submission, gentleness and intimacy displayed by Xue Yu, like a little animal, Su Fengyi finally spoke and asked:
"what do you want?"
Xue Yu's hand paused.
The princess asked "What do you want?" instead of "What are you doing?"
This means that the princess knows what he is doing and accepts his behavior.
This was a deal. He offered himself to the princess, who accepted his surrender and asked him about his conditions.
Xue Yu didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It was like a dream and made him feel dizzy.
He leaned forward and bowed deeply, his forehead lightly touching the cold stone slab. The cool touch made his feverish mind clear, and he heard himself say:
"Your Highness, I want to enter the Imperial Household Department."
There was no one else in the room, and the eldest princess did not speak for a long time.
Xue Yu felt desperate during this long period of silence.
It seems that he overestimated his appearance. Perhaps in the eyes of the eldest princess, he was not worthy of her planning a position in the Imperial Household Department for him.
But even though they were in the palace, his enemy was so far away from him. He had been in the palace for several months and could only see him from afar. He couldn't even see his enemy's nose or eyes clearly.
If he didn't enter the Imperial Household Department, he would probably never have the chance to kill his enemies in his entire life.
In this suffocating despair, Su Fengyi finally spoke:
"Xue Yu, if you want to get rid of him, you must first replace him. If you want to replace him, you must first become him.
I will help you get into the Imperial Household Department, can you replace him?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Yu suddenly raised his head, his face full of horror as if he had seen a ghost.
In the palace, his name is not Xue Yu.
After entering the palace, he hid his real name and never told anyone that his name was Xue Yu.
He also never told anyone about his blood feud.
When Su Fengyi saw Xue Yu's expression, she knew that the child was frightened.
She had just considered whether she should pretend not to know who he was and play the game of power-for-sex with him. This was not a bad idea.
After all, if someone is too attentive without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. She needs a reasonable motive.
A reasonable reason why she should approach him and choose him.
She had told Lu Hong before that she should take a look at him without alarming Xue Yu, and this was also the case.
Xue Yu's actions today actually helped her complete this motive. The reason why the eldest princess loved beautiful women was reasonable.
But she didn't want to do so, because the Xue Yu she saw was a young man who had not experienced the ups and downs of the deep palace. Even after going through hardships, he still remained passionate and clear-minded.
She hoped that he could suffer less and complete his journey of revenge without sacrificing his last bit of dignity.
Su Fengyi ignored Xue Yu's shocked expression and said:
"His hand was injured and he couldn't write, so he had to find a young eunuch with no background and clean hands to handle his daily work of reviewing memorials.
You can figure out a way to serve Lady Wang in her palace later. Can you do it?"
Xue Yu was completely confused and nodded instinctively.
After Su Fengyi finished speaking, she was about to leave, but she turned back and looked at Xue Yu who had not yet reacted and said:
“Also, don’t smile like this in front of me in the future. You’re smiling on your face but crying in your eyes.
I don't like to force people to do things. If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."
After saying this, Su Fengyi pushed the door open and walked out cleanly and neatly.
Xue Yu fell to the ground with only a smile left on his face.
Xue Yu looked at the empty direction where the princess had left, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Xue Yu wiped away her tears silently and walked out of the side hall with a smile.
This time, he had a smile on his face and in his eyes. He followed the direction the eldest princess left.
