The Empire and the Kingdom

Feng Qianzi turned her head, "Do you recognize it?" Feng Qianzi learned the piano and was familiar with the tune, but she had never heard this tune before, and Guan Xuejing knew it.

Not only Guan Xuejing knew, but Xue Ai found that the moment the song started, Feng Jingsu, who was sitting on it, raised her chin and narrowed her eyes, obviously familiar with the song.

"This is a song written by Master Wen in the academy." Guan Xuejing pouted towards Feng Jingsu, "Look, the princess can hear it too."

The bright moon comes out of Guanshan, between the vast sea of ​​clouds.The wind blows tens of thousands of miles across the Yumen Pass.

Wen Xiange is obviously a very soft and delicate wife, but there are many frontier songs like this in the songs she wrote.The students in the academy are all aristocratic women, and almost no one has seen the desert wind and sand, and the cold moon at the border.Playing this kind of music can't understand the essence at all, and then Master Wen is keen to use this kind of music as exam questions, so people like Feng Jingsu and Guan Xuejing who have no talent in musical instruments almost want to practice this kind of music. It takes thousands of times to pop out the taste.And people like Gu Li, who are so talented in music, can completely crush them after just one listen.Every time before the exam, Gu Li would be snatched away by them to help them make up for it. That picture shouldn't be too beautiful.

As soon as the tune played, Feng Jingsu and Guan Xuejing recalled those painful memories together.

After Jiang Ruwei finished playing, everyone applauded. Whether it is polite or admirable, this song really deserves applause.

Jiang Ruwei leaned over to express her gratitude, "I've finished playing, I don't know which lady would appreciate it?"

In the silence, a moderate voice said: "Miss Xue San, your guzheng is so good, why don't you go out and have a try?"

The one who spoke was Sun Yihan, a calligrapher of the Ministry of Rites.She got Xue Ying's wink to speak, because the two of them had a little more estrangement because of the return of the Pearl Walker, but Xue Ying was quickly accused of marrying the seventh prince, so Sun Yihan took the initiative to come forward again, and her figure was even lower , almost Xue Ying's subordinates, the kind who fight wherever they point.

Xue Ying wanted to push Xue Ai off just now, not to make Xue Ai show off, she just wanted to push Xue Ai again, so that she would have no chance of turning over.It's just that she doesn't know how important this Princess Ningyang is. If she is a big talker, wouldn't that just give Xue Ai a chance to show off?Now after listening to the song "Guanshan Yunhai", she has also learned the piano, and knows how powerful Jiang Ruwei is, so it is not easy for her to pull Xue Ai into the water, so that if Xue Ai loses, some people will say that she did it on purpose. Her current reputation is terrible. There can be no more problems, which is why Sun Yihan comes forward.

Everyone's eyes have been brought to Xue Ai by this sentence, Xue Ai showed an innocent expression.Jiang Ruwei also looked at Xue Ai following everyone's gaze, only then did she realize that there was such a beautiful girl hidden in this corner.

"Miss Xue San, if you are willing to reward yourself, you might as well come and give it a try." These words mean that if you don't end up, you are not willing to reward yourself.

Xue Ai looked at Pan Shi, Pan Shi frowned tightly, why is this daughter so worried? "If you think you can't do it, just admit defeat and don't be ashamed."

"Yes." Xue Ai lowered her head, looking taught, but just when others thought she was going to admit defeat directly, she got up and walked to the field, and sat in front of Guzheng.

Pan's face was flushed with anger, is this slapping himself in the face?

After Xue Ai plucked the strings a few times to test the feeling, she pressed her hands on the guzheng, her mind was quiet, and after a while, she raised her hands and started playing.

The piece she played was familiar to everyone, it was "The Resentment of a Boudoir in Spring" which was very popular in Yunguo, it was about a young woman who missed her husband who went to war far away, and many people knew how to play it.

Poor Wuding Riverside Bone is still a spring boudoir dream.

Xue Ai's eyes were lowered, and his fingers fluttered on the strings, vividly expressing the feeling of a young woman missing her husband far away.This kind of longing, this kind of waiting, she felt the same way.

Feng Jingsu, who was sitting above, looked at Xue Ai's drooping little face, and understood that Xue Ai's waiting for so many years was all for herself. Such a young girl has such a firm belief.The corners of her mouth raised slightly, such a Xue Ai deserves the best treatment.

Just when some of the generals' female relatives couldn't help crying, Xue Ai's fingers suddenly accelerated, and only afterimages could be seen on the guzheng, and no one had heard of the latter part.The song ranges from the young woman's longing for her husband, to her grief after learning of her husband's death in battle, to her accusations of the war, and the emotions are integrated in one go.After a long time, everyone came back to their senses and applauded thunderously.

Jiang Ruwei on the side was also applauding, "It turns out that Miss Xue San is such a master, I lost."

Xue Ai stood up and said, "The princess has accepted."

Just as she was about to return to her seat, the queen above said: "Miss Xue San won this round, and I will reward you."

A court lady brought a pair of hollow flower hairpins on a tray. It was not an expensive gift, but it seemed that the empress had prepared it impromptu.However, royal rewards, expensive or not, come second, the main reason is this honor.

Xue Ai knelt down to thank her, took the flower hairpin and returned to her seat.

Xue Ying really shot herself in the foot this time, and pushed Xue Ai behind her back, which made her a success, and she was so angry.

The queen said: "Since it is a competition, there must be a lottery. No matter who wins in the subsequent competitions, I will still reward you."

This finally mobilized the enthusiasm of the ladies present. Although the winner is evenly split, this Princess Ningyang is not that powerful. Didn't Xue Ai just win?

After the piano competition, the next step is chess.Feng Qianzi turned her head to look at Guan Xuejing, "Will you lose?"

Guan Xuejing shook her head, "If you let her go ten times, she won't be able to defeat me."

"Be careful that the cowhide is blown." Feng Qianzi tilted her head and whispered in her ear, "If you can win, don't show mercy. I guess she is here for your academy."

Feng Qianzi's hot breath sprayed into Guan Xuejing's ears while speaking, making her ears turn red.She nodded frequently, and she didn't know what Feng Qianzi said, so she just nodded anyway.

Unlike playing the piano, the chess competition can only be judged by a battle, so the ladies began to hesitate again.Feng Qianzi winked, Guan Xuejing immediately stood up, "I'm here to teach the princess how to play chess."

Feng Jingsu had already changed to a very comfortable position and sat on it. Chess was the least of her worries. With Guan Xuejing around, it was impossible to lose.

"This is..." Jiang Ruwei showed a puzzled expression.

"Guan Xuejing from Anguo Gongfu." Guan Xuejing signed up.

Jiang Ruwei raised her brows slightly after hearing Guan Xuejing's name, her movements were so small that even Feng Jingsu, who was far away, didn't see her.

"Miss Guan please."

The two played chess, most of the ladies and ladies present were able to play chess, and all of them stretched their necks to watch.

The chess game came to a conclusion soon, and Guan Xue won by a net.Jiang Ruwei was not as magnanimous as she lost to Xue Ai this time, because her loss this time was really ugly.

With Feng Qianzi's order, Guan Xuejing didn't hold back at all, and directly won the middle game.

The queen rewarded Xue Ai as usual, a pair of mutton fat and white jade bracelets, much more valuable than the ones rewarded to Xue Ai just now.

Guan Xuejing came back to thank her, and quietly handed it to Feng Qianzi.

"What are you doing?" Feng Qianzi didn't accept it at all.

"I'll see you off." Guan Xuejing was rather embarrassed.

Feng Qianzi still refused to accept it, Guan Xuejing had a bitter face, is it so difficult to give gifts now?

"This is a reward from the royal family. How can you give it away so casually? Be careful to let the empress take care of it." Feng Qianzi pushed the jade bracelet into Guan Xuejing's arms, "You take it first."

Putting it away first means that it will be taken away later, Guan Xuejing then satisfactorily handed over the jade bracelet to her maid to put it away.

Jiang Ruwei, who had lost two games in a row, was not looking good anymore, but she still smiled and asked the ladies to try their calligraphy.There are quite a few ladies who are good at calligraphy. If the calligraphy is the best, it must be the Xue family and the Feng family.The two adults are both masters of calligraphy, and the young lady in the family must be good.

The best calligraphy in the Xue family is Xue Ai, but the Pan family does not allow Xue Ai to leave the stage. Of course, he does not want the limelight to be robbed by a few prostitutes, so he only lets Xue Ying end. There is no one else in the Feng family. Qian Zi stood up and left the stage.

Calligraphy is the writing of many people, and it can be done at the same time, so there are five or six young ladies in the field, plus Jiang Ruwei, each of them wrote a picture.

Jiang Ruwei's handwriting seems to have been instructed by an expert at first glance. It is graceful and at the same time has a bit of grandeur. Just by virtue of its momentum, it overwhelms the delicate handwriting of all the young ladies present.

Jiang Ruwei was a little proud, and she didn't stop writing until she saw the last word that was lifted up by the maid.The font is drawn with iron and silver hooks, and the atmosphere is stretched, without a trace of the softness of a daughter's family, it is full of flamboyant madness.

Jiang Ruwei even suspected that she was dazzled. Is this kind of word that a lady can write?She has been taught calligraphy by the Yun family for more than ten years on the mainland, but she can only show such a little grandeur.Her master said that writing is like being a human being.The style of words is the character of a person.She has a bit of a masculine personality, is ambitious and refuses to admit defeat, that's why she has such calligraphy achievements, but this... who is this?If I have a bit of a masculine character, isn't this a man?Still the kind of arrogant and conceited man with eyes above the top and supercilious!

This time Jiang Ruwei didn't need to ask, because the name--Feng Qianzi was already written on the signature of the picture.

"Miss Feng, this word..." Although I don't want to admit it, but this kind of thing is a matter of opinion, and the people present are not blind, Jiang Ruwei can only admit defeat, "The word is like her, Miss Feng is amazing, I admit defeat."

Whether she was unwilling or not, Jiang Ruwei alluded to Feng Qianzi's being too arrogant.She really didn't understand Feng Qianzi, and the people present were not as surprised as she was. They thought it was normal for Feng Qianzi to be crazy, and they all thought it was very normal for this Miss Feng, who had a fairy spirit, to be crazy. Which god do you see is not crazy?It can only be said that mortals should not compare with gods, they are not in the same class, and they can only humiliate themselves.

Feng Qianzi didn't bother to talk to Jiang Ruwei at all, went to the queen to receive her own reward, and returned to her seat after a pair of frosty steps.

Guan Xuejing looked at Feng Qianzi who came back facing everyone's envious eyes, and felt itchy in her heart. "Cousin, you are amazing!"

Feng Qianzi's phoenix eyes swept over, "It's just a frog at the bottom of a well."

handsome!Guan Xuejing suddenly discovered that Feng Qianzi was really handsome, even more handsome than herself!

If this was a match, Jiang Ruwei, who had already lost three rounds, would not be qualified to go on to the next match.But Jiang Ruwei still wanted to compete, and this time she didn't let the ladies here get off at will. She turned around and locked her eyes on the person sitting on it, "Ning Yang dares to challenge Princess Yunyi, a high student from Feiyejin Academy. Will Princess Yi dare to fight?"

Before, it was "whether you want to appreciate face", but this time it became "whether you dare to take on the challenge". It can be seen that challenging Feng Jingsu is Jiang Ruwei's ultimate goal.

"You are so right! She really came to the academy!" Guan Xuejing held Feng Qianzi's hand tightly.

Feng Qianzi glanced at her, she quickly let go, "Cousin, how did you guess that?"

"You said, she played "Guanshan Yunhai". If she didn't know your academy, how could she come up with this piece? Also, you said that there are no Ling people in your academy. Does Ling Guo not mind being targeted by an academy like this? "

Guan Xuejing nodded. Indeed, when she announced her name just now, Jiang Ruwei's expression was a little weird. She had heard her name before. This shows that Jiang Ruwei has a great deal of respect for the entire academy staff, at least for the masters and disciples of the academy. is understood.

Facing Jiang Ruwei's challenge and everyone's searching eyes, Feng Jingsu smiled softly, "Princess Ningyang is sure you want to challenge me? You have already lost three rounds. If you also lose the last round, what face do you have to go back to China?"

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention Jiang Ruwei, even the queen couldn't help frowning.

Jiang Ruwei gritted her teeth, raised her chin and said, "Princess Yunyi is right, but I have always wanted to learn the martial arts of Fei Yejin's disciples. Even if I lose, I will never complain."

Feng Jingsu stretched out her hand and pointed down, "Then there is still one sitting, you can compare with her."

Everyone's eyes flicked and focused on Feng's table, Guan Xuejing's innocent face, what does it matter to me?

Jiang Ruwei shook her head, "What if I just want to challenge you, the princess?"

Feng Jingsu didn't speak, but turned to look at the queen, obviously waiting for the queen's meaning.

The queen actually really wanted Feng Jingsu to lose this match, anyway, she had already won three matches, so even if she lost this match, she would not lose Yunguo's face.But Feng Jingsu doesn't know exactly how good her martial arts are, so she might as well take this opportunity to see clearly.

"Yun Yi, since Princess Ningyang wants to compete with you by name, you can compete with her, but swords have no eyes, so you all have to be careful."

After receiving the queen's words, Feng Jingsu stood up. She reached out to take her Zhaochun sword from Yushu behind her, and walked down the steps step by step.

Xue Ai raised her heart in her throat. She believed that Feng Jingsu's martial arts would not lose, but she was still worried.

Feng Jingsu suddenly winked at Xue Ai, indicating that she was fine.Xue Ai was still a little sweet in her worries, and she had to work hard to control her facial expressions to keep the corners of her mouth from rising.

Feng Qianzi doesn't understand martial arts at all, fortunately there is someone who understands beside her. "How high is Princess Yunyi's martial arts?"

Guan Xuejing said: "Let me tell you this, her master's martial arts are so high that I can't see the top, I always thought she was the first in the martial arts world."

Feng Qianzi understood, and asked another question, "Compared to you?"

Guan Xuejing covered her face, "Probably... nothing comparable."

Feng Qianzi glanced at her, that dislike!

Guan Xuejing was wronged, she specialized in martial arts, and her master didn't specialize in martial arts, so she was better at playing chess!

Feng Jingsu looked at Jiang Ruwei who was already holding a sword, "Let's make a move."

Jiang Ruwei said, "The place here is too small, why don't we compete outside the hall."

Feng Jingsu couldn't help laughing again, "Princess Ningyang, I'm afraid someone will say that I bully you when I go out."

Many people didn't understand this, but Jiang Ruwei only understood after a while.

Feng Qianzi looked at Guan Xuejing, and Guan Xuejing hurriedly explained, "Princess has practiced the Ice Art, and it's more beneficial for the princess because it's freezing outside."

Jiang Ruwei didn't insist on going out after she realized it. She drew out her long sword and made a gesture of opening, "Please!"

Feng Jingsu curled her lips, but she still drew her Zhaochun sword. If she didn't even draw the sword, wouldn't it be too contemptuous?But in fact, she just looked down on Jiang Ruwei.

As soon as the two fought, the hall was filled with sword energy.Many wives and ladies could not help but back away, for fear of being hurt by the sword energy.In fact, both of them have controlled the scope of their sword energy very well. As long as someone does not rush to the field desperately, they will not be hurt by the sword energy.

Guan Xuejing sat very firmly, "It seems that Princess Ningyang's most powerful talent is martial arts, so it's really good that she has learned that in other aspects."

Feng Jingsu also discovered that Jiang Ruwei's martial arts were really good, and from a general point of view, she could definitely be regarded as a martial arts master.However, Fei Yejin is not an ordinary eye. This level of martial arts is definitely superior among ordinary disciples, but it is not enough for intruders. In her eyes, it is even more common. In the eyes of her master Jiang Fengmin The kind to be chased and beaten.

There wasn't even a chill on Zhaochun's sword, so Jiang Ruwei was defeated. "Fei Yejin's martial arts are not something you can learn at your level. Go back and practice for decades." Feng Jingsu put back her sword and went to the center of the venue to greet the queen.

Jiang Ruwei's face turned blue and white, and she lost the previous few games. The main reason she came to Yunguo this time was to challenge Feng Jingsu.

Ling Guo has been deliberately targeted by Fei Ye Jin Academy for more than ten years, even if other countries don't know the inside story, they can see that Ling Guo and Fei Ye Jin Academy have a feud.

For so many years, Feiyejin Academy has descended countless disciples. Although they are all ordinary disciples who have studied for five years, they are better than those who have studied in other places for more than ten years. Moreover, the vision of these women is really unmatched by students from other places. of.

To be honest, it is impossible for Ling Guo not to be greedy, but the emperor of Ling Guo understood the crux of the matter, and he didn't go to Fei Yejin to find himself bored.Ling Guo founded Qiutong Academy, an academy for pure girls.Like Fei Yejin, Qiutong Academy's master students are all women, and they recruit noble women from famous families in the mainland.And in order to fight against Fei Yejin as soon as possible, Qiutong Academy canceled the entrance examination, as long as the identity is valuable, you can enter without examination.

This has indeed brought a lot of students to Qiutong Academy. Many of the noble girls who failed the entrance examination at Feiyejin Academy switched to Qiutong Academy. He comforted himself by saying that they were all women's colleges anyway, not much difference.

However, after a few years, the girls who were not much different when they entered school were a little bit worse when they graduated.

This is not to say that there is a big gap between the masters of the two academies. Qiutong Academy has a royal background and indeed has recruited many talented women. It was printed in a mold.Rules are really rules, and boring is really boring.

The author has something to say: Jiang Ruwei: Bad guy!

Feng Jingsu: Don't cry when you lose.

Xue Ai: Sister Su is so handsome!

Feng Qianzi: Look at them.

Guan Xuejing: I don't want to talk.
