The Empire and the Kingdom

Everyone sat down, since it was a tea banquet, it was natural to serve tea.A tea art master performed in front, and the court ladies delivered cups of hot tea to everyone.

The etiquette of the ladies is good, and there is no big noise when drinking tea.Suddenly, a table made the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and a girl's exclamation.

Everyone was still looking at which table was making the sound, and felt a blur in front of their eyes, as if something had passed by, but it was almost an afterimage, and no one could see what it was.

At this moment, Xue Ruo stood up, with a dazed look on her face, "Third sister, I'm really sorry, I was careless, take a look, have you been burned?" Xue Ai's sleeve was scalded by the hot tea.

Just now the maid brought the hot tea, Xue Ruo looked at the hot tea, and a vicious thought came to her mind.She picked up the teacup and took a sip, it was indeed hot enough.When she put down the teacup, she pretended to be careless and poured all the hot tea on Xue Ai's chest.In fact, she wanted to splash Xue Ai's face, but even if she was not careful, no matter how much she splashed it, she wouldn't be able to splash it on her face, right?If that's the case, there's no way to prevaricate by being careless.

Xue Ai's reaction was also quite quick, she shrank back a bit, and at the same time stretched out her hand to resist, as a result, a cup of hot tea was poured onto her arm.The excruciating pain made her frown her pretty eyebrows, and she clenched her teeth so that she could not cry out.

At the moment when Xue Ruo was about to lift Xue Ai's sleeves, Xue Ruo's hand was pushed away, and Xue Ai had already been pulled up to protect her arms.

"Sister Su..." Xue Ai's voice trembled from the pain. She was quite strong at first, but when she saw Feng Jingsu protecting her so resolutely and forcefully, tears began to roll in her eyes.

For so many years, no matter what happened to her, she didn't cry, because she knew that no one would care if she cried.A life that no one can rely on, you can only grit your teeth and go on alone.But now, she just got her arm burned, and her sister Su is so nervous. Sure enough, as long as people live happily, they will be weak, because they will desperately hold on to the happiness in their hands, afraid of losing it.

"How are you?" Feng Jingsu placed Xue Ai on the empty chair next to her, and carefully rolled up her sleeves bit by bit. A large blister had formed on her forearm. If it is lifted roughly, this large piece of skin will fall off, so Xue Ai will not be hurt to death?

Something happened here, Princess Ming Qi and others also came to check.Seeing that it was a burn, the maid in charge immediately took the ointment for burns.

Princess Ming Qi was getting old, so she couldn't bear to see such a scene, so she was helped back to her seat.Just keep asking, "Why did this happen?"

A court lady came over and quietly told her what happened just now, and Princess Ming Qi immediately understood that this was a battle between the concubine and concubine sisters, and she had experienced a lot in the palace back then.This kind of thing, after all, is the Xue family's family affairs, she is an outsider, even if she is noble, it is not convenient for her to intervene.

Xue Ruo rubbed her red hand from the beating and shed tears from the grievance.Just now, Feng Jingsu just pushed her hand away. Not only was her hand red, but it was still numb.

Anyway, it's a family matter.As the eldest sister, Xue Ying still has to come over to check.Meng An took the ointment from the palace maid and wanted to apply it to Xue Ai, but her hand was empty, and the ointment had already been snatched by Feng Jingsu. "Get me a needle."

A court lady immediately came over with a sewing needle.Feng Jingsu said softly: "Don't be afraid, I will pierce all your blisters, so that the medicine will be effective."

Xue Ai's head was covered with sweat from the pain, and the broken hair on his forehead stuck to his face.She was obviously scared, but she nodded firmly.

Feng Jingsu's technique was clean and neat, and Xue Ai didn't feel any unnecessary pain.Feng Jingsu carefully wiped off the liquid coming out of the blisters with a handkerchief, and then applied the ointment for the burn.After that, Xue Ai's arm was wrapped with clean gauze.

A maid over there brought a bowl of painkillers that had just been brewed, and Xue Ai obediently drank it.Feng Jingsu asked Meng'an to take good care of Xue Ai, and Xiaozhu Xiaoduo was also kept by Xue Ai's side.She stood up and looked at Xue Ruo.Xue Ruo was trembling with fright, she didn't understand why a princess had such cold eyes.That kind of cold penetrated into the bones.Although Xue Ying didn't want to care about the bad things of the two younger sisters, she couldn't let people see the Xue family's jokes in front of outsiders.

"Princess, this matter..." She still wanted to explain for Xue Ruo.

"Get out of the way, Miss Xue is blocking the way." Feng Jingsu said expressionlessly.

Xue Ying was ashamed of being teased, so she quickly took two steps back to get out of the way.

Feng Jingsu walked in front of Princess Ming Qi, "Aunt, Miss Xue San is the first friend Yun Yi made after returning to the palace, so she inevitably defended her a little bit. I hope Auntie will forgive me for being rude today." As she spoke, she saluted and made amends. .

"My child, Miss Xue San has been hurt like that. I feel sorry for you. How can I care about being rude or not?"

Feng Jingsu continued: "Ms. Xue San was injured, so she should not continue to attend the banquet. Auntie forgives her. Yun Yi will send her back to Xue's house first."

Princess Ming Qi nodded, "Go ahead and tell Mrs. Xue on behalf of my aunt. It's because the aunt's house didn't take good care of Miss San. One day I will prepare a generous gift for Miss San to scare her."

"Thank you, aunt." Feng Jingsu accused Princess Minghui again, and then left with Xue Ai.

Xue Ai was injured, so of course the other four members of the Xue family could not stay here any longer, they pleaded guilty and left together.

"Thank you princess for your concern. Let's take the third sister home. I don't dare to trouble the princess to see her off." Xue Ying trotted a few steps and caught up with Feng Jingsu.

Feng Jingsu kept walking, her speed was not so fast, and her steps were not too big, but Xue Ying was so tired that she was out of breath after chasing her.

"Miss San was picked up by me, so naturally I should send her back to the house." Feng Jingsu glanced at Xue Ying who was out of breath from exhaustion, "If miss is free, let's take care of your miss four." Speed ​​up the pace, now Xue Ying really can't catch up.

Xue Ai seemed to be carried away by Feng Jingsu, but in fact, her feet didn't even touch the ground, and she was almost carried away by Feng Jingsu.After getting into the carriage, Feng Jingsu exuded an aura of keeping strangers away, not only Xiao Zhu Xiaoduo Meng'an dared not move, even Xue Ai was very nervous.

The carriage went all the way back to Xiangfu.Feng Jingsu didn't go to meet Mrs. Pan, and took Xue Ai back to Pingle Pavilion directly.

Upon returning to Xue Ai's room, Feng Jingsu directly shut Xiaozhu Xiaoduo and Mengan out of the door.

"That..." Meng An asked timidly, "Will my young lady be in danger?"

In the room, Feng Jingsu supported the back of the chair with both hands, trapping Xue Ai in it.

Xue Ai swallowed hard, forced a smile, "Sister Su, are you angry?"

"Shouldn't I be angry?" Feng Jingsu sneered, "Don't say you don't know what Xue Ruo is thinking!" This sentence was a little louder, making Xue Ai shrink her neck in fright.

"I know I'm wrong." Xue Ai stretched out her uninjured hand, and carefully pulled Feng Jingsu's skirt, "Don't be angry."

"It's useless to act like a baby." Feng Jingsu continued to keep a cold face, but sighed in her heart, acting like a baby... is actually useful.

Xue Ai pouted, "My arm hurts so much."

Feng Jingsu's mouth twitched, unmoved.

"It really hurts." Xue Ai continued to flatten her mouth like a duckling.

Feng Jingsu continued to twitch the corners of her mouth, but still did not speak.

"Sister Su——" Xue Ai stared with big eyes, "Don't be angry, I know I was wrong, so I won't dare next time." Big eyes blinked.

The blue veins on Feng Jingsu's forehead are twitching, this girl knows how to be coquettish and cute.It can't go on like this, won't he be eaten to death by her in the future?

"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Seeing that Feng Jingsu finally spoke, Xue Ai let out a soft breath.She sat down properly, pretending to know she was wrong. "I shouldn't have allowed Fourth Sister to succeed. Sister Su will feel sorry for me when I get hurt. It's my fault for making Sister Su feel bad."

Is this a mistake?Feng Jingsu finally sat down, "Give me your arm."

Xue Ai stretched out her injured left arm obediently, and Feng Jingsu's hand gently covered the outside of the gauze. Slowly, Xue Ai felt a coolness on the wound, and the pain eased a lot.

"Sister Su, you are amazing!" Xue Ai praised vigorously.

"You don't come here, next time, let me know that you help me by hurting yourself, and see how I deal with you." Feng Jingsu withdrew her internal energy and warned worriedly.

"I know, I know, I don't dare anymore." Xue Ai quickly expressed his determination.But this determination, in Feng Jingsu's view, does not have much sincerity.

Xue Ying and others chased Feng Jingsu's carriage back to the prime minister's mansion. Once in, Xue Ying didn't let anyone go. She took her three younger sisters to Pan's Wanning Garden and told Pan about the whole incident.

Xue Ai is Pan's daughter after all. To put it bluntly, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, let alone an individual?Mrs. Pan called Mrs. Jiang and asked Xue Ying to tell the story again.As soon as Jiang heard this, she began to yell for injustice.Xue Ruo, who had been afraid to tell the difference, also started to complain when she saw her mother coming.He only said that he was not careful, and he didn't intend to hurt Xue Ai at all.

There are so many such dramas in the mansion, and Pan didn't bother to care about it, and directly punished Xue Ruo to kneel in the ancestral hall to think about his mistakes.

After the treatment was over, Xue Zhi and Xue Yi resigned. Pan Shi heard that the princess was still in Pingle Pavilion, so she hurriedly brought Xue Ying to see Xue Ai in person with the medicine.

Feng Jingsu was still very polite in front of Mrs. Pan, but the implication was that Xue Ai was injured and she was very angry.

Pan said that he had punished Xue Ruo, but Feng Jingsu did not express any opinion on Xue Ruo.Now that everything was done, she also said goodbye.Before leaving, he looked back at Xue Ai, the warning was obvious, Xue Ai quickly put on an aggrieved look, expressing that he did not dare to mess around.

Pan and Xue Ying didn't pay attention to the flirting between these two people, and they didn't go to Pingle Pavilion after sending Feng Jingsu out.After all, whether it is to punish Xue Ruo or visit Xue Ai, the ultimate goal is not Xue Ai.

Everyone left, and Pingle Pavilion finally returned to calm.Meng An came in to serve her, "Miss, there are no outsiders now, if you feel pain, just call out, don't hold back."

Xue Ai shook her head, "Who are you shouting for? Don't worry, a little injury is fine."

Where is a little injury?Meng An could see clearly that it was clearly a large blister.
