The Empire and the Kingdom

It was already late at night when he walked out of Xue Xiang's study, Xue Ai looked at the dark night outside, and thought of Xue Xiang's temptations just now, he shook his head helplessly.The little tricks in the back house are just like that.Even if I don’t understand it, I’ve seen it after watching it for so many years.The second sister really underestimated her, she had already found out about Mei Er's matter, and kept silent about it just to show off in front of her father today.After all these years of forbearance, she should let her father know who she can really rely on, so that she can help Feng Jingsu win more benefits.

Xue Ai suddenly discovered that it turns out that as long as the eyes jump out of the back room, many things are actually easy to see clearly.The so-called one leaf blinds the eyes and does not see Mount Tai.It's a pity that most women still can only stare at the trivial matters in the back house, and can't see the vast world outside.

After Xue Ai left, Xue Xiang fell into deep thought.He was not supposed to deal with this kind of back house matter, but he knew that his wife, Mrs. Pan, was a mess, and the matter involved Mrs. Pan's favorite, Xue Ying. If Mrs. Pan were to handle this matter, not only It will make waves at home, and more likely to show colleagues that you saw a joke.Xue Xiang had no intention of blaming Pan. He knew that Pan had tried his best. Without the cultivation of everyone's family, his brain was really stretched to deal with such backyard affairs.

The truth of this matter is already very clear, Xue Zhi poisoned Xue Ying, and then framed Xue Ai.If Pan knew that she would never give Xue Ai a chance to refute her prejudice against Xue Ai, then Xue Ai's life, which had just started to improve, would be gloomy again.

Xue Xiang sighed secretly, Xue Ai had endured for so many years, and he was still able to not harbor resentment, disregard previous suspicions, and not make noise, which is really rare.As long as Xue Ai keeps silent about this matter, it can always be suppressed.

The next day, Xue Xiang, who never cared much about the affairs of the backyard, suddenly called his five daughters to study calligraphy. Xue Ying's diarrhea had recovered, and the five daughters wrote and handed them in front of Xue Xiang, and Xue Xiang commented on them one by one.This kind of thing happened before, and it was a way for father and daughter to communicate in Xiangfu.

Xue Xiang has always been serious, and his five daughters are well-behaved in front of him, and he dare not slack off.After Xue Xiang commented, only Xue Zhi was left alone, and the other four daughters went back to their rooms.

During lunch, the news that the second young lady Xue Zhi was reprimanded by Xiang Xiang for not practicing calligraphy well spread throughout the Xiangfu.Hearing that the second young lady ran back to the yard crying, Mrs. Wang hurriedly went to Xueyan Pavilion to visit Xue Zhi.

Xue Zhi's poisoning of Xue Ying was hidden from Wang's family. She was warned by Xue Xiang in the study, but now she dared not tell Wang's. She only said that she didn't work hard and let her father down. Aggrieved look.

Wang's heart ached terribly. "Zhier, don't take it to heart, your father is also looking forward to your well-being, and his words are a little heavy, which shows that he values ​​you in his heart. Look at Miss San, your father has never taught you much, so you will crying."

Xue Zhi knew in her heart where she had offended her father, what she was most afraid of now was that Xiang Xiang would tell Pan about this, and Pan would punish her severely.At the same time, she also secretly hated Mei Er, how could she fail to do such a simple thing well, yet her father found out the truth.

In Pingle Pavilion, Meng'an heard that Xue Zhi was punished by Xue Xiang, so she didn't want to express her hatred. "Miss, Xiangye really punished the second lady, it's really satisfying."

Xue Ai put down the pen in his hand, "When the ink is dry, send it to my father. Just now I didn't behave well in front of my sisters, and let my father know that this is my handwriting." Lin's reasoning.Just now when she was writing, she deliberately didn't write well, so as not to draw more hatred.But this is no longer the time for her to bear it anymore, she still needs to let Xiang Xue know her true level.

"For the matter of the second sister, it's fine if the father beat it, and he won't say anything. Once people know that the second sister has done something like poisoning and mutilating the sisters, the second sister will not talk about marriage in the future. I still prefer the second sister, and I also want to protect the reputation of the mansion." She said while washing her hands in the copper basin brought by Meng An.

"That's why you don't publicize this matter, Miss?" Meng An seemed to understand a little bit about this matter at this moment.

Xue Ai nodded while wiping her hands, "If I publicize this matter, it will certainly ruin the second sister's reputation and pick herself out, but my mother may not think well of me, but will blame me for knowing why this matter is Don't say it out. My father will even think that I don't care about the overall situation and don't love my sisters. How can I do this kind of behavior that has more advantages than disadvantages?"

Meng An nodded sharply, "Miss is the smartest."

Xue Ai patted her on the head, "Ghost girl, it's fine to talk about these things in the room, but keep your mouth shut when you go out."

"Yes." Meng An felt that the nearest lady seemed to come back to life.In the past, the young lady blindly forbeared and protected herself, but now she is taking the initiative to attack, which made her feel that even the sun is much brighter.

This matter passed quickly, Xue Xiang didn't mention it again, and Xue Ai didn't mention it again.The truth behind everything has been hidden, and the boat has passed without a trace.

"I thought Master Xiang would reward Miss with some good things this time, but there is nothing." This made Mengan a little dissatisfied.

Xue Ai said: "Father is a clear-eyed and understanding person. If you reward me at this time, you can clearly tell others that I have something to do with this matter. How can mother and Aunt Wang tolerate me? Father is treating me It's good to be silent."

Mengan suddenly realized, and quickly covered her mouth tightly, "Miss still understands, if I follow the servant girl's thinking, something bad will happen again."

Xue Ai shook her head. Although Meng An was not smart, she was very loyal and obedient.It's only safe to keep such a girl by my side, she won't have other thoughts.

At the end of August, there was a big happy event in the capital.The empress dowager's natal family, grandson Tangsheng of the Duke of Qi's Tang family, married the eldest daughter of the Duke of Ding's mansion, Hou Xixue, the daughter of the eldest princess of Minghui, as his wife. Make arrangements for marriage.The queen mother gave two rewards, one was her nephew and the other was her granddaughter. It is a happy event to be married. This is the most grand wedding in the capital except the prince's wedding. Even if it is compared with the prince's son. Not inferior.

The night before the wedding, Xue Ai followed her sisters to the Hou Mansion to add makeup to Hou Xixue.Although all the makeup ceremonies are female dependents, there are a large number of them.Princess Minghui organized a banquet in the mansion, waiting for the make-up to be added and invited all the young ladies to the table.

After Xue Ai put on makeup, she kept looking around, expecting to see that familiar figure, but unfortunately Feng Jingsu didn't see it, and she herself was caught by Feng Qianzi.

"Miss Xue San is looking for Princess Yunyi?" Feng Qianzi was still dressed in white, and the night wind blew her hair, adding a sense of mystery to her beauty.

Xue Ai is always a little uncomfortable in front of Feng Qianzi. "Hi, Miss Feng. It's my fault that I didn't come to thank you for saving my life." After all, this matter still can't be brought to the fore.Xue Ai was going to Feng Mansion to express his thanks, but was stopped by Feng Jingsu.Xue Ai, who has never had much contact with Feng's family, if he suddenly gets close to Feng's family, it will definitely arouse the curiosity of interested people.Although the fact that Xue Ai was kidnapped was concealed, it is still easy to find clues if someone is interested in investigating.

Feng Qianzi looked around, led Xue Ai to a place where there were few people, and then said in a low voice: "Miss Xue San, don't worry, someone has already given me a generous gift for you."

Xue Ai blinked her big eyes, and suddenly blushed.

Feng Qianzi stretched out her hand to touch her bright red face, "It's different if someone pampers you. I'm waiting to see Miss Xue San show her true talent."

Xue Ai covered her face, with a ignorant and innocent look on her face, making Feng Qianzi, who always had a fairy spirit, amused. "Are you pretending to be stupid again? Now I don't believe it. I'm afraid few people in the capital will believe it."

Xue Ai pursed her mouth, and tentatively reached out to pull Feng Qianzi's skirt, but Feng Qianzi looked down, but she didn't pull it away.

"Well... I'll call you Sister Feng, okay?" Xue Ai asked tentatively.

Feng Qianzi nodded without any hesitation.She has always given people the feeling that strangers should not get close to her. In fact, she is really not difficult to get close to. It's just a misunderstanding caused by her immortal aura all the time, and she doesn't bother to explain.There are always people in this world who are willing to take the initiative to approach him, such as the little fox who is pulling his sleeve, or a fool who ran away to Fei Yejin because he lost a game of chess.

Seeing Feng Qianzi nodding, Xue Ai immediately showed a big smile, "Sister Feng, can you call me Xiaoai?"

"Xiao Ai." Feng Qianzi expressed her attitude with practical actions.

Changing the title, the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer.Xue Ai raised her head, "Sister Feng, can you see through everything?"

Feng Qianzi thought this question was good, "You think I'm a fairy?"

"You really look like that." Xue Ai pointed her fingers.

"When something happens, there will always be clues. If you look carefully, you will find out." Feng Qianzi doesn't have the ability to predict, but her observation skills are amazing, and few people will chat with her, so she can always See things that others don't notice.For example, Xue Ai, in the past so many years, she has met Xue Ai many times.Everyone thinks that Xue Ai is dull and stupid, but she can always see Xue Ai's clever eyes when no one is paying attention, which is definitely not the eyes that a dull person should have.But when Xue Ai looked up at the person, those eyes became like dead fish again.So she understood that Xue Ai was not unintelligent, Xue Ai just wanted to pretend to be unintelligent, but why did she do this?After she studied the family relationship of the Xue family, she understood the reason for Xue Ai's disguise.

Now that she knew why Xue Ai was pretending before, she also understood the reason why Xue Ai gave up the disguise now.All the reasons are only because of Princess Yunyi.But these are two women, this kind of relationship made Feng Qianzi think about it for a long time, and she even wondered if she made a mistake.How can two women fall in love?For a while, one of her interests was figuring out the relationship between the two.When Feng Jingsu returned to the palace, she saw a series of changes in Xue Ai, and she knew that she was not mistaken, the relationship between these two people was exactly what she thought.Before Xue Ai was hijacked, Feng Jingsu's tense and dignified expression, and the series of reprisals faced by the dealer all confirmed her guess.
