The Empire and the Kingdom

Chapter 3 Meet the Empress

The woman in red is Hua Yihong, the principal of the law hall of Feiyejin Academy, and the girl in pink is her apprentice Hua Zhichen. The two master and apprentice solved the battle with four ropes in the blink of an eye.

"Jingsu, where do you need my help?" Hua Yihong was born enchanting and charming, and every sentence she spoke seemed to have hooks, which made people's hearts melt. "No one is allowed to rob houses within the Feiyejin area. This has been a rule for many years. Today, a group of thieves broke the rules of my academy. I probably borrowed courage from the sky." She waved, and the leader who was tied to the tree There was a scream, and a bloodstain appeared on her body, but there was nothing on her hands.

"Stop screaming! You should be glad that it was me who came here. If the one surnamed Jiang came down, you would have reported to King Yan right now. If the master came down, you wouldn't even have ashes left." Hua Yihong coquettishly He said with a smile, "Don't be too quick to thank me."

The leader thanked while crying, that scene was really funny.Hua Zhichen is exactly like her master, holding a whip in her hand to force those thieves to say words of gratitude, what a mess!

Feng Jingsu shook her head, this pair of master and apprentice finally had fun, and it is estimated that they will give up in a while. "Master Hua, Zhichen, I have to say goodbye."

Hua Yihong pulled Feng Jingsu aside and said in a low voice, "You know about this, right?"

"Disciple understands." Feng Jingsu said with a smile.

"That's good, let's go, we still have to play for a while." Hua Yihong waved her hand, and Feng Jing and Su Shili left.

Zheng Xin and Qiu who were on the side were both stunned for a moment, and the two girls solved it?This made these seven-foot men very hurt!

The convoy continued on without further disturbance.Along the way, Ruyi and Fangfei always used the opportunity of serving to secretly inquire about Feng Jingsu's habits and preferences, which made Feng Jingsu very disgusted, but she didn't make it clear, she just didn't know.

The convoy traveled for nearly a month and finally returned to Jiangyu City, the capital of Yunguo.Feng Jingsu returned to the palace and immediately went to meet the emperor. Emperor Feng Jiang is 47 years old this year. Although he is not as good as those heroes, he is still qualified to be a conservative king.Seeing Feng Jingsu's return, the emperor was naturally happy.

"Yun Yi, these years you and my father and daughter get together less and leave more, from now on I will treat you more kindly."

Feng Jingsu's lowered eyes should be.

The emperor asked Feng Jingsu about his experiences along the way, and Feng Jingsu said briefly.The emperor was busy with government affairs, so Feng Jingsu left quickly and went to see the queen.Feng Jingsu's biological mother, Li Shi, died young, and she was just a Jieyu, with a low status.The current empress is the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, a wealthy family in the capital. She married the emperor at the age of 13 and was named empress at the age of 17. She has two sons and a daughter. Among them, Feng Ye, the eldest son of the emperor, was established as the prince.

Fengde Palace, the queen's bedroom.

Feng Jingsu knelt on the ground, listening to the queen's admonition.

"Yun Yi, you have worked hard at Feiyejin Academy for ten years. Although you have learned a lot of skills, you are a princess after all, so you still have to learn the rules of the palace. You just came back, don't worry. Just learn the rules slowly. Your sisters are all studying with the Confucians in the Sexy Palace, and you will have to learn after you take a break. Royal princesses always work harder than girls outside. You have to understand this truth .”

"Yun Yi understands, thank you empress for teaching me." Feng Jingsu replied respectfully.

"Mother Zhou and Mother Li who are going to pick you up are old mothers in the palace. They know the rules the most. You have become familiar with each other along the way, so go with you. There are also Ruyi and Fangfei, who are also smart. Hejia asked Bengong several times and Bengong was not willing to give it. Who made you stay away from the palace for ten years? Now that you are back, Bengong naturally favors you, so I will give it to you. You You still live in Shenhe Palace, that's where your biological mother used to live, don't you mind?" the queen asked suddenly.

"Of course Yun Yi doesn't mind. Madam Xie sympathizes with Yun Yi's longing for his mother." Feng Jingsu kowtowed.

"You have just come back, so you must be tired too, hurry up and go back to the palace to rest." The queen watched Feng Jingsu leave, and suddenly sighed.

"Your Majesty, why are you sighing? But because of Princess Yunyi?" Cai He, the queen's personal maid, asked.

"In the past, when she came back every year, Bengong didn't think she was so beautiful. She didn't come back last year. I haven't seen her for two years. Yun Yi turned out to be so beautiful. Such a face is already top-notch among princesses. Even if Putting it among the famous ladies and noble daughters in the capital, I am afraid no one will be able to pass her." Of course, it is not convenient to tell the queen's true thoughts. Since she was a child without a mother, she was so beautiful, she couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"Mother, Princess Yunyi is so beautiful, it's not just a matter of choosing a noble son-in-law, it will be beneficial to the prince in the future." Cai He comforted.

The queen still sighed, "Look at Yun Yi's appearance, his emotions and anger are invisible, I'm afraid he won't be obedient."

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. You are the empress, and you can always be the master of all the marriages of the princesses and princes in this palace."

"I hope so."

Feng Jingsu returned to Shenhe Palace, which used to be the bedroom of her biological mother Li Jieyu. Of course, with Li Jieyu's status, she couldn't live alone in the first palace. Li Jieyu lived with Chen Chongyi at the beginning.After Li Jieyu died of illness, Chen Chongyi requested an order to move out of Shenhe Palace, and this became Feng Jingsu's residence alone.Many people say that Shen and Gong are unknown, but Feng Jingsu thinks it is very good.

As a princess who has not been in the palace for a long time, her residence is naturally not cared for carefully.But although there are few faithful ones, there are always a few.As soon as Feng Jingsu entered the gate of Shenhe Palace, a big court lady hurried over to greet her, "Servant Cuidie has seen the princess."

Feng Jingsu held Cuidie's hand with a smile, "Sister Cuidie, I didn't expect you to be here."

Cuidie also smiled, "The princess is still here, so the slaves are naturally here too."

Behind Cuidie, two little maids, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Duo, and two eunuchs, Xiao Muzi and Xiao Fangzi, knelt down and kowtowed to her master.

Feng Jingsu asked everyone to get up, gave them a reward and then asked them to continue working. She took Cuidie into the bedroom. "Sister Cuidie, I didn't return to China last year, has there been any new changes in the palace in the past two years?"

Cuidie was clearly prepared, "Back to the princess, in the past year, the fight between the second prince and the prince has become more and more serious. The queen and the concubine have also fought several times, and no one has taken advantage of it."

Feng Jingsu thought for a while, "What's your father's attitude?"

"Your Majesty usually doesn't care about things in the harem, but when the disturbance was too fierce, His Majesty beat on both sides, but I didn't see which side was more inclined." Cuidie was the maid in charge of Shenhe Palace.When Feng Jingsu was not around, Shenhe Palace was a forgotten corner, no one would care about it at all.Cuidie and the others were happy to be at leisure. She is an experienced court lady, and she supervised the two young maids and the two young eunuchs extremely strictly, so these four people knew the rules.

"Thank you." Feng Jingsu saw that all the things she brought back from Feiyejin had been placed in the dormitory, and she couldn't help but feel relieved to have someone of her own. "By the way, the queen just gave me two nuns and two maids of honor. You know what the queen means. Don't neglect those people. They are also being manipulated too much. Tell the people below to keep a close eye on them and hold them. Let's get rid of the mistakes."

"Yes, this servant knows." Cuidie went out to have hot water prepared, and she helped Feng Jingsu take a bath and change clothes, "Princess, take a good rest, you must be tired from the journey."

Hurrying is nothing to a martial arts master like Feng Jingsu, but she is still lying on the bed, and she needs some time to analyze the situation she is currently facing.

Nanny Zhou, Nanny Li, Ruyi, and Fang Fei soon arrived, and Cuidie didn't disturb Feng Jingsu. She made her own decision to put them behind, and ordered Xiaozhu and others to keep an eye on these newcomers.It is difficult for palace people to survive if they don't know how to read words and expressions.Xiaozhu and the others immediately understood that the four newcomers were not trusted by the master.

At night, Feng Jingsu changed into her night clothes, climbed the window to the wall, and left Shenhe Palace.She observed in the dark, figured out the regularity of the guards' patrolling and changing shifts, and carefully avoided several big inner guards in the dark, and made her way to the Antai Hall, which is the bedroom of the Concubine Qi.

The lights in the Concubine De's bedroom were still on, Feng Jingsu knocked lightly on the door, and immediately a maid opened the door to let her in. "Princess, Your Majesty has been waiting for you."

In the inner room of the dormitory, the middle-aged lady with a gentle and beautiful appearance has already removed her hairpin, her hair is only loosely tied up in a bun, fastened with a red gold hairpin.The hairpin must have been a few years old, and the luster on it has become somewhat dim.

"Jingsu!" Seeing such a beautiful girl, Concubine De hurriedly stood up to support Feng Jingsu who was about to kneel and kowtow.

"Shuang Niang!" Feng Jingsu, who didn't show any excitement when she saw her father after returning to the palace, also had red eye circles when she saw Concubine De.

"Good boy, let Shuangniang take a good look." Concubine De sat by the bed side by side with her, holding her hand and looking again and again. "That's great, you're even prettier than your mother was back then, your mother would be so happy if she knew how you are now." Concubine De took a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears.

"Shuangniang, since it's a happy thing, don't be sad. My mother knows, and she also wants us to be happy." Feng Jingsu took the handkerchief and carefully wiped away Concubine De's tears, then snuggled into Concubine De's arms, From the looks of it, outsiders must think that this is a pair of mother and daughter. Such a relationship is so real that it cannot be faked at all.

Concubine De listened to Feng Jingsu talk about interesting things in the academy in the past two years, and she also talked about what happened in the palace.Some things have not been spread, even if Cuidie deliberately inquires, she may not know about it. Concubine De is different, she is one of the four concubines, her status is only below the empress and concubine, it is easy to be ignored because she has not been out for many years.
