The Empire and the Kingdom

Pointing at her fingers, Xue Ai said with a guilty conscience: "When Sister Feng rescued me at first, I got close to Sister Feng to save my life, and secondly, I wanted to win over the Feng family for you. Now the Feng family will not help you. , it doesn’t make much sense for me to win over the Feng family.” Feng Qianzi did treat her very well, but she made friends with her out of utilitarianism, and she felt that she was hypocritical.

"Xiao Ai, if you and Feng Qianzi are speculative, just make friends. She is not an ordinary person, and she sees things the most thoroughly. If she is willing to make friends with you, it means that you don't have the utilitarianism you think." Feng Jingsu touched Xue Xue Ai's cheek, "I have wronged myself for so many years, and now I finally have a good friend, just cherish it, don't think about helping me, you have done a good job."

"Really?" Xue Ai was happy, having been praised.

"Fool, are you using your heart and mind to deal with others, why are you being so stupid in front of me?" Feng Jingsu looked at the sky outside, "I should go, something must happen in the capital recently, you should pay attention." When she said this, she suddenly thought of something, "The maid I found for you who knows martial arts should go to Beijing in a few days, and I will send it to you after I read it and think it is suitable."

It's such a great feeling that someone cares about everything.Xue Ai's face was glowing with happiness, "Sister Su, you are so kind to me."

"It's not good for you, who is it good for?" Feng Jingsu pointed to her lips, "My little fox."

Xue Ai blushed and kissed her lips, the two entangled for a long time before they were willing to separate.Xue Ai's eyes were full of moist luster, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off.Sure enough, the fox is here to charm people.

Feng Jingsu returned to the palace, what happened today has been spread in the palace, and there are court ladies and eunuchs discussing in private.

The slaves talked a lot, but the masters were calm as usual.Maybe the masters were also discussing, but no one heard after the door was closed.

It didn't take half a day to spread the rumors, the common people love to spread this kind of love story, especially the love story of Miss Gaomen.Originally, Shen Zhiqiu was discovered alone, even if his clothes were disheveled and his mind was in a state of confusion, he was still only one person after all.Making a fool of yourself is definitely making a fool of yourself, but your reputation has not been lost, but in the rumors spread by the common people, it seems that Shen Zhiqiu has been insulted in full view, and there is more than one man.The rumors spread more and more ugly within three days, and the more they spread, the more detailed they were, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Fang Yihou's mansion became a big joke in the capital, even the married eldest lady Shen Zhichun was ridiculed by her in-laws and returned to her mother's house to cry.The rumors became more and more fierce, and there was even a storybook novel for a while. At this time, no one in Fang Yihou's mansion dared to go out, and even Fang Yihou Shen Ang told the emperor to stay behind closed doors.The emperor saw that the rumors were too outrageous, and ordered anyone in the capital who spread the news to be immediately detained on the charge of deceiving the public.

With the imperial decree, all the rumors disappeared immediately, and the novels also disappeared, but the rumors that were originally false were also confirmed in the hearts of the people.Just when the whole thing had died down, another incident happened that completely blew up the matter.

Shen Zhiqiu hanged himself.

In private, the common people immediately spread that Shen Zhiqiu committed suicide because he could not bear the humiliation. Everyone justly condemned the person who insulted Shen Zhiqiu, completely unaware that his mouth was the white silk that killed him. He tightened Shen Zhiqiu's neck again and again.

After the Shen family held the funeral, Shen Ang suddenly aged by more than ten years.He went to the memorial and asked to resign and return to his hometown. The emperor felt that Fang Yihou was a good official and wanted to keep him, but this capital was the sad place of Shen's family. Shen Ang's attitude was firm, so the emperor had no choice but to agree.

When Fang Yihou left the capital, many people sighed.Originally a daughter of the Hou Mansion who was like a flower, she was forced to death by rumors.But is it really rumors that drove Shen Zhiqiu to death?

Shen Zhiqiu took part in the outing, why did he appear by the woods alone with all the ladies?When something like this happened, why didn't the Shen family report it to the authorities?Shen Zhiqiu committed suicide, how could the Shen family be regarded as victims in this matter, why did Shen Ang resign in a hurry and leave the capital?It's not that no one cares about these questions, it's just that no one has brought the questions to the table, and everyone is looking for answers behind their backs.

Feng Jingsu, Xue Ai and Feng's family who knew the truth behind this certainly knew the answer.This matter was originally arranged by the Shen family, so how could they report it to the authorities afterwards?As for why the Shen family must leave the capital, if this matter is not done well, not only Shen Zhiqiu's life will be lost, but also a grudge with the Feng family, the second prince will not let the Shen family go easily, Shen Ang This is to avoid disaster before resigning from Beijing.

"I don't understand why Shen Ang wants to help the second prince like this, even at the expense of his daughter and future?" Feng Jingsu is in the Antai Palace of Concubine De at this time. After speaking, she finally expressed the doubts in her heart.

Concubine De personally mixed a cup of honey syrup for Feng Jingsu, "If it was you, how could you help someone at all costs if you were not sincere?"

Feng Jingsu took a sip of sugar water, "I can't think of it." If it wasn't for her sincerity, she would definitely not hesitate at all.

Concubine De smiled and said: "You are indeed too young and have experienced too little. Let's put it this way, if someone threatens you with my life, will you help him at all costs?"

Feng Jingsu shook her head, "Shuangniang, I understand the truth. But if the situation you mentioned really happened, I would definitely find a way to save you. Why would you help the bad guys at all costs?"

Concubine De couldn't help but reached out and touched her head, "This is what you thought. You have become more confident since you came back from Feiyejin, because you have become stronger. But most people are not strong, or the bad guys are too powerful. If you are unable to resist at all, then you can only meet the other party's request."

"Shuangniang, what do you know? Tell me, tell me." Feng Jingsu began to act like a baby.

Concubine De liked this trick the most. Every time Feng Jingsu acted like a baby to her unreasonably, she had no resistance at all.What Feng Jingsu didn't know was that when she acted like a baby, she looked very much like her biological mother, Li Jieyu.At that time, Li Jieyu would act like a spoiled child to Concubine De, so every time she saw Feng Jingsu's frowns and smiles, Concubine De would feel that Li Jieyu was still alive.

"Shen Ang has a son, do you know?" Concubine De asked.

"I know, it's called Shen Xuan." Fang Yi Hou Shen Ang has a son and two daughters.The eldest daughter Shen Zhichun married into Anminghou's mansion, the second daughter Shen Zhiqiu committed suicide, and there was a youngest son, who was only seven years old this year, named Shen Xuan, but few people have seen it, and it is said that Shen Ang's eyes are like eyeballs.

"Shen Xuan is a premature baby. He has been sick and troubled since he was born. He almost grew up in a medicine jar. It is such a baby that he can live to this day. You said that if Shen Xuan fell into the hands of others, would Shen Ang Will you be able to obey? To put it coldly, even if Shen Ang is asked to exchange his daughter's life for his son's life, he will do so." When Concubine De concubine said this, her eyes were full of compassion.She has been in the harem for 20 years and has seen too many things. After seeing too much, her heart becomes cold.Many people have Shen Ang's attitude towards their children, so she is too lazy to despise Shen Ang.

These words made Feng Jingsu think of Xue Ai, but because of the death of the twin boy, Xue Ai has been hated by Pan for so many years.But what's wrong with Xue Ai?Maybe the fault is that I am a girl.If she is also a boy, then what she will get will definitely not be grudges, but double love.There is a lot of harshness towards women in this world, and the most terrifying thing is that many of these harshness come from women.

Her master, Jiang Fengmin, said that the purpose of establishing Feiyejin Academy is to make women self-reliant and self-loving. There are no men in the world, so women are still alive?And she felt that after a woman became self-improving, there really was nothing to do with a man.Even marriage, which is most important to abide by the law of yin and yang between men and women, can be digested internally by Feiyejin Academy.How many people are waiting to marry a woman who has finished her studies in the academy, other disciple Feng Jingsu dare not say it, and it is estimated that none of these disciples who enter the house can fall in love with a man.

She lost her mind when she thought about it, and she came back to her senses and asked, "Can Shen Xuan be kept away from the capital?"

"It should be like this. After all, there is no need for the second prince to chase too closely. There is no need to be an enemy if you can't be an ally. As long as Shen Ang doesn't talk nonsense, you should still be able to spend your old age in peace." Concubine De sighed, and said well Hou Ye insisted on standing in the team, now the outcome is still unclear, not to mention losing his official position, he even lost a daughter.It would be better if the crown prince came to the throne in the future, but if the second prince came to the throne, Shen Ang's fate would be even worse.That's not how politics work.

After Fang Yihou's incident was over, Concubine De asked her younger brother Qi Yuanhai to pick out girls from the army to the capital as well.Feng Jingsu was delighted the first time she saw her. Uncle Hai was really an interesting person. She wanted someone alone, but Uncle Hai sent them both, they were exactly the same, they were actually twin sisters.

The two introduced themselves as Pei, one named Ruhua and the other Ruyue, they were both soldiers in the army, they fought with their father on the battlefield since they were young, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, they were already battle-tested veterans.The two sisters carried two autographed letters from Qi Yuanhai with them, one for sister Concubine De and one for Feng Jingsu.

Feng Jingsu put away the letter to Concubine De, and opened the letter to herself.In the letter, Qi Yuanhai still did not change his military character, and there were not many polite words.The letter introduced the basic situation of the two sisters of the Pei family. The two sisters are good at kung fu and loyal, so they can definitely be trusted.It's just that the character of the soldier is straightforward, and he doesn't understand the rules of the big family, so he needs to be taught in this regard.

Feng Jingsu thought for a while, and took the two of them to Princess Ming Qi's mansion.Princess Ming Qi was very happy to see her. "You girl, you don't come here if you have nothing to do. What do you want me to do this time?"

After saying this, Feng Jingsu blushed.I really came here to ask for help. "Girl, Yun Yi has found two girls who know martial arts outside and wants to take them back to the palace, but he is afraid that the Empress will not allow it, so he wants to ask Gu Gu for help."

Speaking of this, Princess Mingqi understands. "Yun Yi, let me help you, what good does it do me?"

When Feng Jingsu heard that this meant promise, she hurried over and said, "Auntie, tell me."

Princess Ming Qi poked her forehead with her hand, "You, what can I want as an old woman? I want to bring Xiao Ai to stay for a while. When you are free someday, play another song with Xiao Ai "Ancient Battle Song", I love listening to that song." At the end, the old man looked into the distance, what is there in the distance?There are battlefields, the setting sun, and the husband who is buried there forever.

"Okay." Feng Jingsu was a little moved.The eldest princess is well-clothed and well-fed, but she only loves her son-in-law all her life, and she will never abandon her until death.It is worth it to have such a feeling once in a lifetime.

Princess Ming Qi immediately sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to post a message, saying that she would pick Xue Ai to stay for a while.After Pan received the post, she called Xue Ai, and told her to obey the rules when visiting the eldest princess's mansion and listen to what the eldest princess said.

Xue Ai was very happy when she heard that the eldest princess wanted to take her to live in the mansion.She likes the kind old princess the eldest princess very much.Back at Pingle Pavilion, Meng'an was busy helping Xue Ai pack her things. "Miss, the eldest princess treats you so well, you can live a comfortable life in the eldest princess's mansion."

"Don't talk nonsense about this, others will think I'm having a bad time at home." Xue Ai has always been cautious in these details.

According to Feng Jingsu's wishes, in the name of Princess Mingqi, the two sisters who had been renamed Yushu and Yuyan were given to Feng Jingsu and Xue Ai.

"It's actually twins!" Xue Ai, who was taken to the princess's mansion, saw the two sisters and his eyes widened in surprise.Although the two sisters look alike, they can still be distinguished when they grow up so big, especially when they stand together.The elder sister Yushu is more lively, but the younger sister Yuyan is more calm.

Princess Ming Qi took Xue Ai's hand and said, "Originally, I saw that there was only one servant girl beside you, so I wanted to give you a servant girl. I'm worried."

Xue Ai leaned next to the eldest princess, "Your Highness, you have treated me so well, I don't even know how to repay you."

"Want to repay me?" Princess Ming Qi pointed to the zither and drums that had been prepared over there.

Xue Ai didn't understand what it meant, and looked at Feng Jingsu for help.Feng Jingsu came over to pull her up, and whispered, "Auntie wants to listen to "The Song of the Setting Sun."

Xue Ai nodded, and sat in front of the guzheng, and Feng Jingsu also came over to take the drumstick from Xiaozhu.

The sound of the drum and the sound of the zither sounded perfectly.

A fog formed in front of Princess Ming Qi's eyes, and the sound of the music seemed to bring her back to the young man on horseback whom she first saw many years ago.

The battlefield is his end and his best destination.

When leaving the eldest princess's mansion, Feng Jingsu told the two sisters to be strict in tone, especially told Yuyan that Xue Ai is not good at martial arts, and she should protect her with all her strength if she is in danger.If necessary, don't worry about the rich and powerful, just do it, and she will take responsibility if something goes wrong.

Yushu left with Feng Jingsu, and Yuyan followed Xue Ai to stay in the Princess's mansion. The two sisters didn't have any reluctance, which shows that they often act separately in the army.In the carriage back to the palace, Feng Jingsu said: "Xiao Ai and I often meet, and you and your sister have many opportunities to meet."

"The servant knows." Yushu just learned the word "servant", and she is not quite used to saying it.

The eldest princess looked at Xue Ai's thin body, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have lost so much weight. You have to make up for your body during this time with me."

Xue Ai knew that the Eldest Princess picked her up to live here because she felt sorry for her, so she nodded obediently, "I will listen to Your Highness."
