The Empire and the Kingdom

Xue Ai's lips turned purple from the cold, and now his hands were itchy and hot, but they were not very useful.Feng Jingsu grew up in the cold.Learning from Jiang Fengmin's Ice Art, the most difficult thing to solve is the problem of internal power overflowing.She often froze herself when she fell asleep, and then the master knocked off the ice and dug herself out to hold her in her arms to keep warm.Later, when the junior sister learned the Ice Art, the master often stayed up all night, and she had to warm Gu Li again after warming up, and the master was so busy that he was sweating profusely.

At this moment, she hugged Xue Ai and put it in her arms to warm her. She held Xue Ai's hand and kept rubbing it until Xue Ai's hand was red.Although Xue Ai was suffering from the cold, seeing Feng Jingsu cherishing her so much made her heart happy.

The dream is far away from crying hard to call, the book is urged to become Mo Wei thick.

After many years of lovesickness, I finally waited for today's care and cherishment.

Xue Ai, who had warmed up, covered her red face with her red hands, "Fingers are still swollen." She moved her fingers, but she was still not very flexible.

"Take it easy, don't worry." Feng Jingsu carefully looked at Xue Ai's hand to make sure there was no frostbite.

"But I want to take advantage of the list of officials I have compiled so that no one will write it to you." Xue Ai was anxious, and would not have played if he had known.

"Tell me, I'll listen." Feng Jingsu knew that the more secretive this kind of thing was, the better. It was best not to keep any records, and word of mouth was the most secretive.

Xue Ai climbed onto the bed, lay down next to Feng Jingsu's ear, and explained everything about herself to Feng Jingsu one by one.

"Xiao Ai, thank you for your hard work." Feng Jingsu was also secretly surprised after hearing this. She believed in Xue Ai's ability, but she did not expect that Xue Ai could figure out the positions of so many officials in a short period of time.

"This is just what I got from the analysis of the existing information. I don't guarantee that it is completely correct, but I have tried my best to verify it. I dare not do more actions. I am afraid that it will spoil your business." Xue Ai said Having said all she knows, she needs to let Feng Jingsu know the most basic situation, so as to avoid bad things because of Feng Jingsu's trust in her.

"I understand, you've done a good job." Feng Jingsu looked at Xue Ai with admiring eyes, making Xue Ai's blushing face even redder.

"In the future, I will be the emperor, how will you behave?"

Xue Ai's joyful mood suddenly felt a little lost, and she didn't dare to show it. In fact, she wanted to be Feng Jingsu's woman.But after thinking about it, I know that even if Feng Jingsu becomes the empress, it is impossible to openly marry a woman to be the empress, and assisting her ministers, isn't that the way she finally chose for herself?Why do I feel lost now?Sure enough, it was the relationship between the two of them during this period that made her have extravagant expectations that she shouldn't have.

"Okay." Xue Ai didn't even realize it, and there was bitterness in his smile.

Feng Jingsu touched her head, "Since I can be the empress, no one dares to say that the empress cannot be the prime minister."

ha?Xue Ai looked surprised, what is this all about?

Feng Jingsu flicked on her head suddenly, "Little fool."

Looking at Feng Jingsu who left, Xue Ai rubbed her forehead, of course she understood what Feng Jingsu said, but she didn't dare to take it seriously.She was afraid that if she thought too much, if she didn't realize it, it would be difficult for her to correct her mentality.She is also afraid that she will covet a position that she shouldn't covet, and she will be timid, and will not be the stone that stirs up the situation in the capital.

The three maids of Xiaozhu Xiaoduomeng'an set up a table of food, Feng Jingsu and Xue Ai couldn't eat much at all, and finally all fell into the stomachs of the three maids.Seeing the three eating happily, Feng Jingsu seriously doubted whether the three cooked the dishes according to their own taste.

Since Xue Ai was frozen in the morning, the two of them didn't go out in the afternoon.Just chatting in the warm room.Except for a few cleaning servants and cooks, there was no one else here, so it was more relaxing for the two of them to chat here.

"What are you doing? You're mischievous." While chatting, Xue Ai's hands began to be dishonest, always pulling on Feng Jingsu's waist.

Xue Ai didn't speak, and lay on Feng Jingsu's body and hugged her arms, and raised her head to kiss her from time to time.

Feng Jingsu sighed, this girl must have tried so hard to get angry. "I won't be polite if you mess around like this again!"

Xue Ai kissed the corner of her mouth, "Don't sister Su like it?"

Feng Jingsu turned over and pressed Xue Ai under him, "You are also the daughter of the Xiangfu, why are you more anxious than me? Little girl, you are too young, don't be so anxious."

Xue Ai feels wronged, she really wants to have skin-to-skin relationship with Feng Jingsu, even though she doesn't quite know what skin-to-skin relationship is.

"Be obedient." Feng Jingsu coaxed her, not even daring to kiss her.Just ignore this girl when she gets angry, she can't ask for guilt.

"Oh." Xue Ai still didn't understand these things, so he was obedient and honest.

The two didn't return to the city until the evening. When Xue Ai returned to Xiang's mansion, she was called by Mrs. Pan. After some questioning, Mrs. Pan beat Xue Ai even though she didn't find out anything.

New Year is coming soon.As usual, the Xiang's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and things to be used for the New Year were purchased.Ladies and ladies have to make two new sets of clothes and two new sets of jewelry.With Xue Xiang's intervention before, Xue Ai will never be short of such cases.

Clothes and jewelry are delivered to the various yards before New Year's Eve.What Meng An brought out at this time was another set of jewelry, "Miss, the princess's mansion just sent it. Princess Ming Qi said that if the clothes are well made, there must be good jewelry to match, so I will send you a set of jewelry to make a face." New Year's gift." Meng An said very excitedly, her young lady finally had a set of jewelry that matched her clothes.

"The workmanship of the eldest princess's mansion is really good. It's just that I have to bother the eldest princess when I was so busy a year ago. I'm really sorry. Meng'an, help me remember to post a post for New Year's greetings in a few days."

"Yes." Meng An carefully put away the jewelry.Let's take a look at the clothes and jewelry sent by the lady, what should I say?Of course, I can't say it's bad, but I just feel that it doesn't match the lady's temperament and appearance.

On New Year's Eve, Feng Jingsu put on princess costumes and honestly accompanied the emperor and empress. There were many rules in the palace, one by one. It was already noon, and the princesses had lunch with the empress at Fengde Palace.Take a short break in the afternoon and have a family dinner in the evening.

On such an important day, she finally met her second sister, Princess Yongning, who hadn't shown up since she returned to the palace, but Concubine Xian still didn't show up because of her health.Princess Yongning is 17 years old this year. She has a dignified and beautiful appearance and calm eyes. Wearing standard princess costumes, she looks stable and majestic, with the aura of a proud girl.

When she saw Feng Jingsu, she took the initiative to talk, "I heard that you are back. I have been taking care of my concubine and have no chance to leave Zhiqiong Palace. I just talked to you today. I hope you don't blame me as a sister."

Feng Jingsu shook her head, "What did Second Sister say? It was because I didn't go to visit Concubine Xian and you, so you should not be offended."

Because Princess Yongning hasn't come out for a long time, she seems a little strange to other sisters, but her manners are not bad at all, and she can respond to the Queen's questions freely, but she is not like a princess who has abandoned her studies because of taking care of her mother.

In the evening family banquet, from the queen down, all the concubines except the sick concubine attended in their best attire, and the princesses were not far behind.The princes also came to participate, and those who were married brought their wives and concubines to attend. It was very lively.During the dinner, there were endless conversations of probing, comparing and showing off.Feng Jingsu dodged far away, holding a glass of wine, thinking about what Xue Ai was doing now.

The Xiangfu is also a family banquet, although the scale and number of people are much smaller than those in the palace, it is still lively.The five young ladies sat there, making people happy just looking at them.

Everyone at the dinner table said some auspicious words, and Xue Zhi, relying on her talent, even wrote a poem for Xue Xiang, which was praised by Xue Xiang.Xue Yi wrote a pair of words for Xue Xiang to read, and Xue Xiang was overjoyed and praised him a lot.Xue Ying made a pair of boots for Xue Xiang, and Xue Ruo drew a picture of red plums. My lady, you must learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your talent.But as parents, no matter how strict they are, they will only praise during the Chinese New Year.

"Third sister, we all gave gifts to father, what did you give?" Xue Zhi asked.

"Then there is no need to ask? Third sister played the guzheng so well before, and now it is rumored that the number one master of guzheng in the capital is Sanjie. Third sister must be playing the first piece, right?" Xue Ruo Sitting next to Xue Ai, he bumped Xue Ai with his shoulder when he said this.

Xue Ai didn't say much, stood up and put the things in his hands in front of Xue Xiang. "Father, my daughter has always been stupid. She can't compare to my sisters. These Chuanbei mothers and ginkgo fruits are carefully selected by my daughter. Recently, I heard that my father often coughs when he goes in and out. Please take care of your health."

Xue Xiang looked at the third daughter who had only given away a pair of letters in the past. Now that things have happened, he has already seen that Xue Ai has been hiding her power for so many years, but why is she no longer hiding it now?Xue Xiang didn't ask, he believed that he could see clearly, and also believed that Xue Ai would tell him when the time came.

This medicinal material is not worth a tael of silver, but this kind of heart is rare.Xue Xiang nodded, "Ai'er has a heart."

For Xue Ai, Xue Xiang didn't praise too much, and even looked indifferent, which made several sisters of the Xue family couldn't help showing a look of gloating.They were all laughing secretly at Xue Ai's failure to steal the opportunity, but Wang Shi and Jiang Shi couldn't help but look at Xue Ai a few more times.In the past, this third lady would never have given much thought to such matters, but now she has completely changed.The ladies couldn't hear what Xiang Xue said. They had been thinking about Xiang Xiang Xue's preferences all day long, but they could tell immediately after hearing Xiang Xiang Xue's words. Xiang Xue's five words contained a lot of sincerity.

Wang Shi and Jiang Shi looked at their silly daughter, still gloating about her misfortune, completely unaware that Xue Ai had unknowingly taken the lead.

Pan has always ignored Xue Ai, and now she feels uncomfortable every time she sees this daughter after what happened before, so she almost automatically blocks this person, both in her heart and in front of her eyes.

The family had a reunion dinner, and went outside to set off firecrackers. There were no boys in Xue's family, so the firecrackers were set off by the boys.Noisy and noisy until midnight, the sound of firecrackers outside was all connected together.The five young ladies of Xue's family knelt down to pay New Year greetings to Xiang Xue and Mrs. Pan, and each received a big red envelope. After eating dumplings together, they dispersed.As for those who don't want to sleep in their own yard, don't worry about it, let's lock up and make noise in their own yard.

Pingle Pavilion was as quiet as in previous years.In previous years, Xue Ai was afraid of attracting attention, but this year her whole heart is on Feng Jingsu, and she is even more quiet.

"You all go down. If you want to eat wine, there is still in the room. Meng An, tell the little girls to be more honest, it is okay to eat wine, don't get drunk and cause trouble." Xue Ai only wears underwear after bathing, and there is no need for Meng An An served, and asked her to go down to have fun with the little girls.

After Mengan left, Xue Ai twisted her hair with a cloth towel alone, staring at the lonely lamp on the table in a daze.In previous years, Feng Jingsu would sneak out to see her on New Year's Eve. Last year, Feng Jingsu didn't come back. I don't know if she will come to see her this year.

After waiting for a while, but no one came, she lowered her head in disappointment.Maybe this year is different, Feng Jingsu has already returned to China, and the relationship in the palace must be maintained, so it should be impossible to get away.

She dried her hair and felt that the room was getting a bit cold, so she got up and went to the charcoal basin to fiddle with the coals.The charcoal glowed red, shining on Xue Ai's disappointed face.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in, making Xue Ai shiver.But she excitedly turned her head to look at the door, and sure enough, the person she missed was standing at the door and looking at her with a smile on her face.

"Sister Su!" Xue Ai stood up and rushed over.

In the end, Feng Jingsu didn't jump on him, but was thrown onto the bed by Feng Jingsu's collar. "I'm cold, you don't have to worry about freezing if you wear so little. Put on the quilt."

Xue Ai wrapped the quilt tightly, and watched Feng Jingsu stand by the brazier for a while to dispel the cold air from her body before coming over.

Under the dim light, Xue Ai was wearing a thin undergarment, her neck and clavicle were all exposed, and she also had a pair of small feet with ten round and lovely toes, which were also exposed outside the quilt.Feng Jingsu's eyes dimmed, "It's such a cold day and you wear so little, do you want to get cold or seduce me?"

Xue Ai blushed, lifted the quilt and shrank herself into Feng Jingsu's arms, "What if I want to seduce you?" Let's see how Feng Jingsu reacted after hearing this sentence.

Then she felt Feng Jingsu's hand on her body paused, and then slowly hugged herself tightly, and then, she was slapped on the buttocks.

"It hurts!" Xue Ai felt wronged.

"It's good to know that it hurts, so that you can think about these things in your mind all day long!" Feng Jingsu slapped again, but this time she didn't use any force at all, it was basically just a slap.

Xue Ai was so wronged that tears came out, not because she was hurt, but because she said such shameless words, and her sister Su didn't move yet. It can be seen that she is not charming enough, not enough to make sister Su tempted.Thinking of this, her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Feng Jingsu somehow knew why Xue Ai was crying, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this little fox is really seductive, but it's a pity that she didn't want to eat her so soon, and she couldn't explain why.I always want to be more sure and give the little fox more protection. After all, this love is very important in Feng Jingsu's heart.The more she likes Xue Ai, the less Feng Jingsu dares to go too far.I was afraid that I would offend her, wrong her, and be so cowardly that Feng Jingsu would look down on herself a little.

Feng Jingsu pressed Xue Ai under her body, lowered her head and kissed the tears on her face. "Don't cry. Seeing that you are wronged, it seems that I am bullying you."

Xue Ai cried violently, "Sister Su, do you...don't...hate me?" In fact, she also dislikes herself, always feeling that her figure is not as good as Feng Jingsu's, and her breasts are not big enough.

"Don't think about it, you're crying, you're so ugly." When Feng Jingsu said this, Xue Ai cried even harder with a "wow". "You really... really despise me for being ugly..."

Feng Jingsu laughed until her whole body trembled, and the little fox was so funny when she cried. "Don't cry, if you cry again, I won't tell you why."

These words are so good, Xue Ai immediately covered her mouth, but the voice was covered, and the tears couldn't be covered, and they kept flowing.

"Hey, Xiao Ai, I don't dislike you, I value you, so I don't want you to dedicate yourself to me so hastily, do you understand?" Feng Jingsu tapped Xue Ai's forehead, this little head was full of melons all day long. What are you thinking about?

Xue Ai is so smart, he understood immediately.A trace of sweetness spread from the bottom of her heart, but she immediately realized how embarrassing what she had done just now, and her tears flooded even more, "I'm sorry, Sister Su, I was impatient. But..." She poked Feng Jingsu's shoulder, "Is she really willing."

Feng Jingsu had no choice but to stretch out her hand to compare with Xue Ai's chest, Xue Ai was so ashamed that her breathing became disordered.

"No, you are still too young, let's wait until you are old enough to talk about it in two years."

Also said that this is not dislike?Xue Ai was so angry that she looked down at her underdeveloped body, obviously she just disliked it, okay?

In order to appease the angry and aggrieved little fox, Feng Jingsu stayed with her all night and did not leave until Dongfang paled.Xue Ai, who wrapped herself in the quilt, covered her blushing face, feeling that she was too bold this night, how would she face Feng Jingsu in the future?But... Thinking of Feng Jingsu's gentleness that night, she still secretly laughed out loud.

The two who hadn't slept all night had to get up early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings to their families, eat and worship their ancestors, and then hurried back to their room to catch up on sleep after all their work was done.

Cuidie watched Xiaozhu guarding the door, and asked softly, "Is the princess asleep?"

Bead nodded.Cuidie thought it was interesting, her princess was always full of energy, why did she go to bed in the afternoon?

At the same time, Meng An looked at Xue Ai who was sleeping deeply and shook his head, and even reached out to test the temperature of Xue Ai's forehead, thinking that it must not be sick, otherwise why would he start to sleep in broad daylight?

During the first month, everyone is free, and Prime Minister Xue has to go out for banquets almost every day, and the wives and ladies are also not idle, but the banquets in each government are small-scale. After all, there may be several banquets on the same day. If everyone is invited, won't the other companies be left out?In order to avoid such an embarrassing situation, everyone tacitly invited fewer people.

What Xue Ai came to attend today was the banquet at Fang Yihou's Mansion.Recently, several young ladies have gotten closer to her, but Xue Ai is still judging whether these families are targeting Xue Xiang or Feng's family.Fang Yihou Shen Ang has two daughters. The eldest daughter Shen Zhichun is married to Chen Pengfei, the son of An Minghou.The second daughter, Shen Zhiqiu, has also reached the age of Ji, and is now looking for a husband's family.Xue Ai was invited by Shen Zhiqiu.

The author has something to say: Xue Ai: I have been rejected!woo woo woo~~~

Author: No, it will be locked.
