The Empire and the Kingdom

After the prince left, Xue Ai finally let out a sigh of relief.Feng Jingsu turned around, "Are you okay?"

Xue Ai shook her head, "Thank you, Sister Su."

"Between you and me, how can we use a word of thanks?" Feng Jingsu took her hand, "The prince has already thought about you, you should pay attention in the future, try to stay in crowded places, and avoid going out alone."

"I see." Xue Ai nodded.

The two chatted while walking, and when they reached Xue's tent, Feng Jingsu was about to go back.The two stared at each other silently, as if they had a thousand words to say, but held them back in their hearts.In the end it was Feng Jingsu who smiled, waved her hand and turned to leave.Xue Ai drooped her eyes and sighed silently. Unrecognized emotions, even if they are happy with each other, they must restrain each other. This is the path she chose for herself, but she does not regret it.

The next morning, everyone got up early. Today will be the first day of autumn hunting, and the emperor and princes will all be participating.Ladies and ladies are all going to watch the excitement, so they have to get up early to freshen up.

Xue Ai's attire is not outstanding, nor is she rude, because she doesn't bother, but she is the fastest.When they arrived at the starting point, the emperor and princes were all ready and got on their horses one after another.In the distance, the flag is fluttering in the wind, and the guards are ready to go.

Among the crowd on horseback, Xue Ai saw Feng Jingsu's figure.She was worried for a while, Qiu Lie was going into the mountains to hunt wild animals, what if her sister Su was injured?She could see all the worries in her eyes. At this moment, she saw Feng Jingsu turned her head and looked over. Among the dense crowd, Feng Jingsu actually found her accurately.

Seeing Xue Ai's worried eyes, Feng Jingsu smiled and signaled with her eyes that she was fine.Xue Ai felt a little relieved, but she was still nervous, holding on to the handkerchief with her little hands and not letting go.

Soon, the horn sounded, the emperor took the lead, followed by the rest of the prince's guards, and the horse team disappeared at the entrance of the mountain in a blink of an eye.

Feng Jingsu was in the middle of the cavalry. She didn't want to act with the people around her, and she didn't even want to bring guards.But every master will have at least two guards with him, and there are also hers.She slowed down the speed of the horse and gradually lagged behind the crowd, and then she turned the horse's head and galloped in another direction.Seeing this, the two guards who had been following her hurriedly urged their horses to chase after her.

The mountains here are steeper and not suitable for hunting on horseback.It didn't take long before the horse couldn't move.

"Wait for me here, I'll go in and see if there are any prey." Feng Jingsu didn't wait for the two guards to answer, she had already climbed up a big tree with her toes, and she rushed out far away when she touched her toes.The guards were still following at first, but after a few strokes, the two guards returned to the horse with discernment, that kind of light work was not something they could catch up with at this level.

"Princess Yunyi has such high martial arts, how can we protect her?" The two laughed at themselves.

Feng Jingsu leaned against a tree, bent her bow and set an arrow at a rabbit.With an arrow, the rabbit was nailed to the ground, but it did not die.She cums in the bunny ears.Feng Jingsu went to pick up the rabbit, and the arrow broke off.Although the rabbit was injured, it was not serious, and it was still struggling.

"Don't move, I'll take you back to see if the little fox likes it." Feng Jingsu continued walking with her rabbit ears in her hands, and soon she found an interesting animal - a red fox.

The fox should be very small, and looks very clumsy when running, but looking at that pointed face, it is indeed a charming beauty.

Feng Jingsu looked at the rabbit in her hand, let go of it in disgust, and the rabbit immediately ran away.The little fox sensed the movement of the rabbit, and immediately became alert. Before it could make a move, an arrow pierced through its ear again, and it was pinned to the ground and could not move.

Feng Jingsu was not in a hurry to draw the arrow this time, she came over and squatted beside it, staring at it with big eyes.The little fox wailed, and a pair of beautiful big eyes showed a charming light.Feng Jingsu lowered her head and smiled, "You really look like her. I'll take you to meet your family." She broke off the arrow, carried the fox and walked out.

She is not interested in the prey at all, and the emperor's reward is not something she can ask for, she just wants to hunt Xue Ai a toy back.

By the time she came out of the mountains, the others had almost finished hunting.Apart from the emperor, the crown prince hunted the most prey. The emperor was overjoyed and gave many rewards.

Xue Ai, who was in the crowd, saw Feng Jingsu returning safely, so she let go of what she had been worrying about.At noon, the emperor entertained all the ministers, and the queen also held a banquet for the female relatives on the other side.In the middle of the banquet, Feng Jingsu left the banquet and found a chance to take Xue Ai back to her tent, "I found a brother for you." She pointed to the cage and said.

As soon as Xue Ai came in, he was attracted by the little red fox in the cage.She crouched by the cage and looked around, "Sister Su, it's so beautiful!"

"Yeah, as beautiful as you." Feng Jingsu pulled her over and hugged her, "I'll just say you're a little fox. Look, you two look alike."

Xue Ai smiled sweetly, "Did the little fox give it to me?"

Feng Jingsu pinched her nose, "What do you think?"

"Thank you, Sister Su." Xue Ai turned to continue looking at the fox, Feng Jingsu held her back and pointed to her lips.

Xue Ai bit her lip, and shyly leaned forward to kiss her lightly.

Feng Jingsu let her go with a smile, and gave her a piece of meat to feed the little fox.The little fox was frightened and looked at Xue Ai very vigilantly, but Xue Ai just smiled at the little fox.

"It's inconvenient for you. I'll raise this fox for you first. When you can raise it, I'll send it to you." Feng Jingsu saw Xue Ai giggling all the time, and thought to herself that this fox is really her family. , look at this laughing, so silly.

"Okay." Xue Ai teased for a while, and the little fox finally relaxed his vigilance and came over to eat the meat in Xue Ai's hand.It's not good for the two of them to leave the table for too long, so they went back to the banquet after playing for a while.People come and go at the banquet, unless you pay attention, no one will notice.Xue Ai returned to her seat, and Xue Ying said dissatisfiedly, "Third Sister has become more and more wild. This place is not far from the side, so be careful if any outsider bumps into her, it's impolite."

Xue Ai looked at Xue Ying, "Sister, should I say this? I just leave the table to get some air, and is the eldest sister worried that I will meet a foreigner in private? Even if this kind of thing really happened, it would be too late for other people to hide it. But I really can't see my sister is good, dare to talk about things that don't even have shadows."

Xue Ying is used to scolding Xue Ai at ordinary times, Xue Ai never dared to retaliate, but today she dared to retaliate. "Third Sister, I'm doing it for your own good. It's fine for my family to talk about this kind of thing, and I'm afraid that outsiders will say the same, so do you want to lose face?"

Xue Ai lowered her head, "Thank you, Eldest Sister, for being good to me, and even accusing me of such nonsense. Of course I want face, but Eldest Sister doesn't want me to have it."

Pan Shi was annoyed by the two daughters quarreling next to her, so she glared at Xue Ai, "Why are you talking to your elder sister? You don't understand anything, and you still haven't apologized to Yinger."

"Yes, mother." Xue Ai didn't hesitate at all.Turning to Xue Ying, she said, "Eldest sister, it's my younger sister who is not sensible. In the future, if elder sister says this about me again, I will definitely not dare to argue."

Xue Ying snorted coldly, "It's good that you know." She raised her chin triumphantly, and gave Xue Ai a contemptuous look.After arguing with myself, it's only been a few days, and I forgot who is the eldest lady of Xiangfu?

The wives of Anguo Gongfu and Feng's family, who were at the same table, shook their heads when they saw this.Although Xue Ying and Xue Ai's voices were not loud, they were so close that they knew the general idea by listening and guessing. Looking at Pan's different attitudes towards the two daughters, Xue Ai felt aggrieved.Even if you don't care about your daughter's mood, you always have to worry about the face of the Xiangfu.This was indeed Xue Ying's inappropriate words, and it was fine to suppress it, but Pan actually asked Xue Ai to apologize to Xue Ying. Among other things, this just encouraged Xue Ying's problem of gossiping.It is not possible to talk nonsense about the daughter's family name festival.

"Miss Xue San, I'm getting bored sitting, can you go out for a walk with me?" Feng Qianzi got up and walked to Xue Ai and asked.

Xue Ai knew that it was Feng Qianzi who was helping her, so she showed embarrassment, "Miss Feng shouldn't have refused the invitation. But I was just reprimanded by the eldest sister for having a private meeting with a foreigner, so how dare I leave now? Forgive me, Miss."

These two people are called sisters and sisters in private, but now they are just singing together and pretending to be Xue Ying.

Xue Ying is certainly majestic towards Xue Ai, but Feng Qianzi always has a kind of awe-inspiring attitude. She also felt a little guilty when she looked at it, and quickly explained: "Miss Feng, Sanmei misunderstood me. I just let It's just that she doesn't want to run around, it doesn't mean anything else."

Feng Qianzi was noncommittal, but still nodded with a smile, "In this case, does the third lady leave the table with me and run around?"

"Not really." Xue Ying shook her head quickly.

"That's good." Feng Qianzi took Xue Ai's hand and walked further and further away from her.

Xue Ying was still worried, and turned to look at Pan, "Mother, what do you mean by Miss Feng's move?"

Pan's reprimanding Xue Ai just now was not because of what the sisters said, but whenever there was a quarrel between the sisters, she would reprimand Xue Ai. This was a subconscious behavior.At this moment, she slowly recalled what the two said, and finally understood. "Ying'er, you shouldn't have said that about your sister just now, even if she is really playful, she would not do anything that would damage her reputation. Although you have good intentions, the meaning of what you said is to ruin your sister's reputation again Yes. She is a member of the royal family now, and it is really inappropriate for you to speak like this."

Xue Ying was pointed out by Feng Qianzi and Xue Aiyi just now, and when she turned her head, her mother said something about herself again. Although she lowered her voice so that no outsiders could hear her, she still felt aggrieved and couldn't bear it. Stop crying.

Seeing her daughter crying, Mrs. Pan was very distressed, so she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "You, mother didn't say anything, and I didn't blame you. If you say something like that in the future, just don't say anything."

"Yes. My daughter knows it's wrong." Xue Ying wiped her tears with her head down, but remembered this matter in her heart.If Xue Ai didn't talk back, how could there be so many behind, it was that girl who thought that she was in the limelight and won the eyes of the nobles, and her prestige was put in front of her.

Feng Qianzi and Xue Ai walked for a while, looked back to see that they were far away from the table, and then said: "You don't give your elder sister face like this, be careful that she will hate you."

Xue Ai bowed her head, "Sister Feng, I know I can't hide my thoughts from you. Do you think I did something wrong?"
