The Empire and the Kingdom

"Xiao Ai, cry for a while when you feel uncomfortable, I am the only one here, no one will laugh at you." Feng Jingsu touched Xue Ai's head with her hand and rubbed it gently.

"I'm not crying!" Xue Ai was already crying when she said this.

Feng Jingsu continued to rub her hair, giving her greatest tenderness to the little fox in her arms.

"Obviously Sister Su and Dad like me very much. It's not my problem that mother doesn't like me, it's my mother's problem, so I'm not sad." Xue Ai burst into tears as she spoke.No matter how much Feng Jingsu loves her, no matter how much Xue respects her, it is not maternal love.Maternal love is the first and most dependent emotion a person gets, but she has never had it before, and it is impossible to get it in the future, and she will never get it.

Feng Jingsu's biological mother died early, so she can look down on her, but at least her biological mother loves her.But what about Xue Ai?Pan's only hatred for her.Pan has two daughters, and she can give all her maternal love to Xue Ying, but Xue Ai has only one biological mother.Being hated by the biological mother is not something that everyone can face calmly, even if it is never her fault.

Xue Ai's crying became louder and louder, she hadn't cried like this for a long time.Ever since she moved out of the prime minister's mansion, she thought that she had obtained the happiness she wanted, so she could not worry about Pan's affairs.Now it seems that she was wrong, and she didn't think about it just because she didn't dare to think about it.After all, Pan is the wound in her heart.

Yushu Yuyan, who was guarding the door, heard Xue Ai's cry in the room, and glanced at each other. Yuyan showed a distressed expression on her face, "Miss is so pitiful, she was treated like her own mother, and she was really hurt this time." .”

Yushu patted her, "You have to be more vigilant in the future. Miss wakes up, you find a chance to ask her to intercede for you, and this matter will pass."

"Sister, I didn't protect Miss well, and I should be punished." She really blamed herself.

Yushu didn't say anything more, anyway, with Xue Ai's temperament, even if Yuyan didn't say anything, she wouldn't punish Yuyan, now it just depends on Feng Jingsu's will.

Xue Ai cried hard, and stopped crying when she was happy, but she was still twitching, looking pitiful and cute.

Feng Jingsu's hands covered her eyes, keeping them cool, so that her eyes would not swell up.

"Sister Su, I will get better soon." Xue Ai stretched out her hand and pulled Feng Jingsu's sleeve in front of her in darkness.

"Okay." Feng Jingsu lowered her head and kissed her lightly on the lips.

The loss of vision made Xue Ai's other senses sensitive, and she immediately kissed back passionately.

Feng Jingsu finally raised her head, and pressed Xue Ai's body with the other hand, "No, you are still sick."

Xue Ai muttered depressingly, be honest.

Although Xue Ai woke up, her physical condition was still very bad.Feng Jingsu forbids her to help in the Hall of Qinzheng, and asks Cuidie to watch Xue Ai recuperate every day.

Phoenix Tower.

Feng Qianzi hosted a banquet for Meng Shiqi, the eldest daughter of Changning County Prince's Mansion. Meng Shiqi was the eldest daughter of Changning County Prince and the only concubine daughter.It's a pity that Miss Feng is notoriously cold, and Guan Xuejing is always around her recently, so many girls who want to make friends with Feng Qianzi dare not come forward.

Meng Shiqi was surprised but also very excited when she received Feng Qianzi's invitation yesterday, so she came here dressed up today.Compared with her jewel-like aura, Feng Qianzi dressed in white looked very plain and unadorned.The long blue silk is tied up with a hosta, and there is no other decoration, it is elegant and pleasant.

Meng Shiqi couldn't help feeling that Feng Qianzi was this kind of woman who could show a high temperament without any decoration.This kind of temperament comes from the inside out and cannot be imitated.

"Miss Meng, sit down quickly." Feng Qianzi stood up and gave up her seat.

Meng Shiqi saw that Feng Qianzi's maid was not in the box, so she asked her maid to go out as well. "Miss Feng, why are you free to invite me to the Phoenix Tower for dinner today?"

Feng Qianzi sighed before she opened her mouth, "Phoenix Tower has a new dish, I heard it is a special product of the county king's hometown, you know the rules of my Phoenix Tower, the food must be authentic, so please come and taste this dish Dish."

Meng Shiqi was a little disappointed, she thought it was something interesting, but thinking about being able to taste dishes at the same table with Feng Qianzi, it would be quite nice.

Not long after, a maid brought a dish of meat soup.The maid filled a bowl for each of them, and Meng Shiqi picked up the bowl and took a sip, "The meat is smooth and tender, and the soup is well seasoned. But..."

Feng Qianzi also took a bite, "But what?"

"It's a bit sweet. It would be good to add a little less sugar and make the soup thicker." She put down the bowl, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth. Feeling a bit sweet, she thought about drinking tea, teapot When the food was just served, Feng Qianzi had already put it on the small table by the window.There were no other maids in the room at the moment, so she had no choice but to get up and pour tea by herself, and said: "Today, my elder brother is going out of the city to run some errands, can we see him from here?" She stood by the window and looked down look.

Of course her elder brother is nothing to look at, what she meant by saying this was to make Feng Qianzi pay attention to her elder brother.Although Feng Qianzi is a little older now, she is still the first choice for the noble children in the capital to marry a wife, and as Feng Qianzi gets older, many officials' children with lower family backgrounds feel that they can do the same.After all, Feng Qianzi has not talked about marriage for so many years, which means that what she values ​​is not family status, but probably talent. Many young talents rely on their talents and always want to find opportunities to show themselves in front of Feng's family.

Meng Shiqi knew that Meng Shiyang was useless in terms of talent.But her family is the only king with a different surname in Yunguo, and Meng Shiyang is the only son in the family. As long as she gets married, she will be the future princess of the county.

Although getting married is a matter between two people, it is actually a matter between two families or even two families.There are too many factors to consider, and they are all sorted out, but the wishes of the man and woman are the least important.

Coincidentally, it happened that Meng Shiyang rode past downstairs.Because it was a busy city, Meng Shiyang just rode on the horse and did not urge the horse to gallop.Behind him were a dozen servants and a carriage.

"Ah!" Meng Shiqi exclaimed suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Feng Qianzi got up, asked as she came to the window, and followed Meng Shiqi's gaze.

"No...nothing?" Meng Shiqi hurriedly pulled Feng Qianzi back to the seat again, "It's the first time I stand in this position and look down, so it's inevitable that I made a fuss and made Miss Feng laugh."

Feng Qianzi quickly waved her hand, "Miss Meng, you are welcome." Seeing Meng Shiqi fidgeting suddenly, she smiled and said nothing.

Of course, Feng Qianzi's treat was not just one dish.After a while, maidservants came in one after another, and the table was covered with dishes.

Meng Shiqi had something on her mind, wanted to leave but felt rude, so she had to finish the meal before leaving.After she left, Feng Qianzi also left the box.In a room on the top floor of the Phoenix Tower, which is exclusively for Feng Qianzi, Bai Fang and Mo Yuan are waiting here.

"Miss."

"What happened just now? Meng Shiqi was in a panic." She just followed Feng Jingsu's plan, and she didn't know what was going on downstairs at that time.

"It was Mr. Meng who brought Miss Xue out of the city." Bai Fang said.

"Is it so blatant?" Feng Qianzi was almost suspicious.

Mo Yuan then replied, "No, Miss Xue is in a carriage, but the carriage stopped just as it was downstairs, it seems to be broken down, Shizi Meng's family hired another carriage temporarily, and Miss Xue got off. He showed his face in the car."

Feng Qianzi thought for a while, "Have you heard any news recently? Did something happen to Xiao Ai? Otherwise, why would the princess attack Xue Ying?"

The two maids shook their heads.

"That idiot is not here, it is inconvenient for me to enter the palace, what a trouble." Feng Qianzi said unhappily.

Bai Fang and Mo Yuan covered their mouths and smiled, Miss San wanted to close Miss San.

After Feng Qianzi returned home, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something had happened to Xue Ai. She had no way to enter the palace, so she had to ask Master Feng to bring a letter to Feng Jingsu for herself when she entered the palace to discuss matters.

After Feng Jingsu received Feng Qianzi's letter asking about Xue Ai's recent situation, she sent someone to take Feng Qianzi to the palace and sent her directly to Shenhe Palace.

Staying in Shenhe Palace to recuperate, Xue Ai, who was watched every day not to be overworked, was overjoyed to see Feng Qianzi.

"Sister Feng, I miss you so much."

Feng Qianzi's gaze fell on Xue Ai's bandaged right wrist, "This... how did you get hurt?"

Xue Ai hid his right hand behind his back, "No, I accidentally hurt it."

Feng Qianzi's scrutinizing gaze showed that she didn't believe it at all, "Xiao Ai, haven't you told me the truth?"

Xue Ai pouted, pulled Feng Qianzi to sit by the bed, and told the story of her injury.

Now Feng Qianzi understood why Feng Jingsu went to great lengths to plot against Xue Ying.She thought about it carefully, and it was really difficult to deal with the layers of intricate relationships. Perhaps Feng Jingsu's current method is the best.

"Xiao Ai, it's not worth being sad for someone who doesn't love you. The most important thing is that you live well and live happily. Seeing you get sick and injured because of this, in the end it will only worry those who care about you. "It's not easy to persuade Feng Qianzi about this kind of thing, after all, she is her own mother, and she can't figure it out just because she can figure it out.

Xue Ai understands the truth, but this kind of thing is hard to accept.

"I know, I will get better as soon as possible." She didn't want Feng Qianzi to worry about her, "But I'm really bored! Sister Su won't let me do anything."

Feng Qianzi smiled, "I just happen to be bored too. Otherwise, you can ask the princess to allow me to come to the palace every day to accompany you."

"Okay, okay!" Xue Ai clapped her hands happily.This touched the wound on her wrist, and she begged for comfort in pain.

"Be careful, don't get hurt again." Feng Qianzi nodded her forehead.

When Feng Jingsu came back in the evening, during the chat between the two, she found that Xue Ai didn't know how she dealt with Xue Ying. Xue Ying's accomplice.

Because her right hand was injured, Xue Ai had to use her left hand to do many things, which she was not used to.For example, when eating, she used her left hand to hold the chopsticks, and the dishes she picked up dropped off several times.

Xue Ai looked at Feng Jingsu aggrievedly, Feng Jingsu smiled, hugged her into his lap, and fed her bite by bite.

Xue Ai is like a fledgling bird, with its mouth open, waiting for the big bird to feed it.
