The Empire and the Kingdom

"You don't need to plead for Ying'er, Ying'er will become what she is today because of your arrogance." Xue Xiang was really tired of seeing the two crying and crying, "Remember what I said today, Pingle You are not allowed to go to the pavilion without my permission. Ying'er went back to Weiying Pavilion to reflect on herself, and copied "Women's Regulations" and "Women's Commandments" ten times each, and I will check."

Xue Ying still wanted to refute a few words, Xue Xiang said: "Go down soon!"

Xue Ying didn't dare to say more, so she left quickly.Pan's heart ached so much, she turned her head to see Xue Xiang's eyes, lowered her head and said, "Master, I know I was wrong."

"You don't know." Without his daughter, Xue Xiang's words became more severe, "I will save face for you in front of Ying'er. Mrs. Pan, you and I are a young couple. I never asked you how good you are. Your background You are humble, you can’t compare to a woman from a noble family, I know all this. I only hope that you can take good care of your children and take care of this family. Look at what you are like now? You treat your own daughter so harshly, and treat others Woolen cloth?"

Pan wiped her tears, "Master, I...have not been able to give birth to a son for the master, and I have always felt sorry for the master. Every time I see Ai'er, I think of my son who died young. Master, it's not that I don't want to be nice to Ai'er, I... I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart!"

Xue Xiang understood Pan's mood, and sighed: "Madam, the past is over. I hope you will treat Ai'er kindly in the future. I don't want to lose her, and I don't want you to lose her."

Judging from Xue Ai's reaction to Pan's slap, Xue Ai was completely disappointed in this mother.Xue Xiang knew that it was not easy for Pan's daughter from a poor family, so he still hoped that Xue Ai could get closer to Pan.He already understood Xue Ying, just like what he said about Xue Ying, she can't be counted on in the future. On the contrary, Xue Ai is smart and scheming enough to contribute to the family.

It's a pity that Mrs. Pan didn't understand what Xue Xiang meant, she just nodded and admitted her mistake just to calm Xue Xiang's anger.As for Xue Ai, she believed that the whole incident was largely caused by Xue Ai's ignorance.A little friction between sisters is always unavoidable. When she was a child, she often quarreled and fought with her sisters at home. How did it become a big deal?In this scene, Xue Ying was not only injured, but also scolded and punished. She was also blamed by Xue Xiang, which was all caused by Xue Ai.As a younger sister, it is wrong to be so fussy about her elder sister, so what else can I say?

After Xue Xiang left, Pan shook her head, "What an enemy!" She really wished that Xue Ai had never been born, so she would not be so upset now.

The next day, Xue Xiang bought many things for Xue Ai.Especially the winter clothes and charcoal, the best ones were chosen and sent over.

Xihaiju.

Xue Zhi and Wang were not at home yesterday, they were busy with Wang Runing's marriage at the Wang family.Xue Zhi only heard the news this morning, so she purposely inquired about what happened yesterday, and came over to gossip with Wang.

"Mother, I heard that my father was very angry. He not only punished the eldest sister, but also reprimanded the eldest lady." She felt relieved when she heard this.

Mrs. Wang sighed, "What's the use of that? Look, isn't the power of the head of the house still in the hands of the eldest lady? Let's just listen to it and have fun. If we have enough fun, we will do whatever we want. "Wang's family background is tall, and he has already seen it clearly in this back house.Xue has affection for Pan.

She came in as a noble concubine, relying on the power of her natal family, and made troubles in her early years, but she was warned by Xiang Xiang later, and she calmed down.She found that it was not difficult to fool a confused Mrs. Pan about the affairs in the back house, but it was as difficult as ever to fool the shrewd Xiang Xiang Xue.The smartest thing about her for so many years is that she has not clashed with Mrs. Pan on the surface, and has been living her life cautiously. In the eyes of Xue Xiang, this is her virtuousness.

"Then I'm also happy, I've never seen my eldest sister suffer such a big loss." Xue Zhi heard that Xue Ying had a nosebleed from a fall yesterday, so she decided to go to Weiying Pavilion to see the excitement.

After Xue Zhi said this, Wang realized that this was indeed the case.Xue Ying was injured and punished, Pan was reprimanded, so what about Xue Ai?Xue Ai was actually directly protected by Xue Xiang.She didn't believe that Xue Ai was so innocent in this matter. Xue Ai's recent series of performances showed that this girl is a ruthless character.Being able to injure the enemy a thousand times while leaving herself unscathed was something she hadn't done back then.

"Zhi'er, the third lady is a powerful person, you must not mess with her, do you hear me?" Wang knew that her daughter had no city, and she was afraid that she would go out and cause trouble.At present, they have no conflict of interest with Xue Ai, so they can't create such a strong enemy for themselves.

"Understood, mother." Xue Zhi agreed with her mouth, but she didn't think so in her heart. She was bullied like this, so she was still a formidable one?If you want to be strong, you will have to make a fuss long ago, how can you bear it for so long?

In Yunjianxuan, Xue Ruo was also discussing this matter with Mrs. Jiang.Jiang couldn't see too many ways, but she also felt that the situation in the mansion was complicated, so she just told Xue Ruo not to go out if she had nothing to do.

"Mother, father has been resting in your yard recently, when will you add a younger brother to me?" Xue Ruo asked with a smile.

"Go! You are the one who asked about this kind of girl's house? Go and practice calligraphy, and be careful that your father will discipline you again." After driving away Xue Ruo, Jiang rubbed her flat belly. She believed that as long as Xue Xiang's The love is still there, and I will have a son sooner or later.

Xue Ai used a slap in the face in exchange for everything she deserved, and also made the master and servants in the mansion dare not neglect her anymore.As for being hated by Pan Shi and Xue Ying, she didn't care at all.Wouldn't he be hated if he didn't do this?

Xue Ai sorted out the list of officials Feng Jingsu wanted in the room, and she breathed a sigh of relief after sorting it out, and finally sorted it out years ago, so that Feng Jingsu will be able to use it in the future.

She read it again from beginning to end, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, she threw the paper into the burning brazier in the room.

"Hey! Miss, why did you burn the things you wrote so hard for a long time?" Meng An came in with tea, saw the burning paper in the brazier, and came to rescue it.

"Don't be so busy, these things can't be seen by others, they are safe to burn." Xue Ai has been cautious enough these years, if these things are seen by others, they will definitely cause trouble.She is a girl in a boudoir, and writing these things can't be explained, so the best way is to burn them clean.As for the ones to be handed over to Feng Jingsu, they can only be written at Feng Jingsu's place.

"These are all your painstaking efforts, and you are really willing to part with them." Meng An still felt distressed, "Miss, the Princess Palace has just delivered this dress of yours." At the beginning, Xue Ai asked An Niang from the Princess Palace to help make two clothes Used to plot against Xue Ying, now that no one dares to easily enter her yard, this dress can be safely placed in the room.Xue Ai could only shake his head and sigh when he thought that his room was not as safe as the Princess's Mansion.

After another heavy snowfall, the wedding of Wang Runing and Cheng Haobai was held as scheduled.When she went to Wang's house to add makeup the day before, Wang Shi finally exhaled and raised her eyebrows, and she looked like a hostess.Xue Zhi is also busy inside and outside, very active.

"Looking at how busy Second Sister is, those who don't know think that our sisters are getting married, but it's just a cousin getting married." Xue Ruo stood aside and couldn't understand Xue Zhi's appearance.

Xue Ying didn't come because of an injury on her face, and Pan didn't come either.This kind of event is originally for the ladies to participate in. If the wives don't come, it's fine when the ceremony arrives.

Xue Ai stood beside Xue Ruo and didn't answer.She just came to meet the scene, and didn't want to make any troubles.Seeing that Xue Ai didn't speak, Xue Ruo curled her lips and went to chat with the ladies she knew well.I don't know why, since she deliberately scalded Xue Ai last time and got a serious illness, now she and Xue Ai feel gross when they are together.

The contrast between Xue Ai's front and back is too great, and this contrast is not in appearance.Xue Ai has always been beautiful, those who say she is dull are just sour grapes.But in the past, Xue Ai lowered his head even when walking, for fear of being seen by others, but now Xue Ai looks like a luminous body, wherever he goes, even if he doesn't speak, he will attract the attention of others.All of this seemed to have happened only at that tea tasting banquet.This kind of change, some people think it is miraculous, but she thinks it is evil.

Xue Ai finally saw Feng Qianzi in the crowd, and she hurried over, "Sister Feng."

There was still no one around Feng Qianzi, seeing her coming, Feng Qianzi smiled and said: "Just now I saw you and your fourth lady together, I thought you had a companion this time."

Xue Ai pouted, "Fourth Sister doesn't like to be with me."

"You don't like to be with her, do you?" Feng Qianzi has long seen that the five sisters of the Xue family are at odds. This is the disadvantage of not having a qualified mistress.It's okay for Mrs. Pan to be a good wife, and she doesn't have so many vicious thoughts, but as the prime minister's wife, she is really not qualified.The Guan family of Anguo Duke's mansion, which is also a noble family, also has concubines, but because of the powerful skills of the Duke's wife Hou, not only the wives and concubines are harmonious, but also the children are united with each other, and they will not be as scattered as the Xue family's daughter.

"Sister Feng, although I have four sisters, my family..." Xue Ai blinked her big eyes, "I still want to talk to Sister Feng if I have something to say."

"Didn't you tell Princess Yunyi?" Feng Qianzi whispered.

Xue Ai blushed, "Sister Feng also likes to tease people."

The two went to Wang Runing's room to add makeup, and then walked out together.

"Second Miss Wang is full of joy. She is also very satisfied if she wants to marry into the Cheng family." Feng Qianzi participated in many makeup ceremonies. It's from the heart, so it's extraordinarily beautiful.

Xue Ai thought that one of the targets that Feng Jingsu would deal with in the next year would be Cheng Haobo, and she suddenly couldn't bear it.This beautiful newlywed was married with full of expectation and joy, but before long, her husband would have an accident, and as a wife, she would naturally perish together.

The expression in Xue Ai's eyes was noticed by Feng Qianzi, "It seems that you have already made up your mind." She turned her head and looked at the bustling room full of people coming and going, "Are you feeling sad for her? I worked so hard to get it." Marriage, the Cheng family's daughter-in-law, whom everyone envied, will soon become the wife of a guilty minister." When Feng Qianzi said this, her tone was so cold that Xue Ai couldn't help turning her head to look at her.

"Sister Feng, are you watching too much?" Because of watching a lot, you can be so calm and indifferent.

Feng Qianzi shook her head, "I'm not a god, but I don't have the magic power to look down on sentient beings. I just hope you understand that all your efforts may just make your life more miserable in the end."

These words are cold-blooded, but Xue Ai understands that Feng Qianzi is reminding her that she may fail in the end if she follows Feng Jingsu in this matter, and if she fails, whether it is herself or Feng Jingsu, the ending will be very tragic.

She pursed her lips, "How will you know the result if you don't try it?" She would not hesitate, nor would she back down, just because the person she wanted to help was Feng Jingsu.

The Cheng family's wedding was very lively, the emperor and empress gave many congratulatory gifts, and the prince and Princess Hejia attended in person, which really gave the Cheng family a lot of face.Although these were all aimed at the Cheng family, the Wang family also followed suit and showed their face in front of everyone.

Xue Ying didn't come, Pan brought the other four ladies to the scene, and Wang, as a serious relative of the bride's family, also came of course.Xue Zhi glanced at Xue Ai beside her, "Third sister didn't even wear the dress made of Tongluo Xuesatin." She thought that Xue Ai would definitely wear the clothes that Xue Ai wanted to protect even if he turned against Pan Shi and Xue Ying. , I didn't expect Xue Ai to just wear an ordinary dress, the kind that doesn't shine at all.

"Today I'm here to watch the ceremony, how can I be too noisy?" Xue Ai smiled and looked at Xue Zhi's bright red new clothes, and those who didn't know thought Xue Zhi was married.

Xue Zhi was a little annoyed at being sized up, "My cousin's wedding is so grand, and the third sister's wedding will definitely be more lively in the future." After she finished speaking, she pretended to suddenly realize, "Oh, I forgot, the third sister is just a side concubine, when the time comes Whether there will be a wedding is not certain, maybe it is just an imperial decree entering the palace."

A side concubine is just a nice word for the royal family, isn't she a concubine?

"Zhi'er! Don't talk nonsense!" Wang Shi hurriedly stopped.This daughter always likes to talk so fast, what's the use?

Xue Ai turned to look at Xue Zhi, "Second sister is right, but it's probably not good to talk about the royal family in public like this."

Xue Zhi raised her eyes and saw Pan Shi and Wang Shi glaring at her together, so she quickly shut up.

After Pan finished staring at Xue Zhi, she glanced at Xue Ai again, Xue Ai is sitting here safely, Xue Ying is still recovering from her injuries at home, causing so much trouble because of a dress that no one is wearing, this girl It's becoming less and less worrying.

Xue Ai lowered her eyes, deliberately avoiding Pan's gaze.That snow satin was just a means for her to plot against Xue Ying, could it really be worn on this occasion?That would be to disrespect the newcomer, so she wouldn't be so stupid.Only Xue Ying's kind of brain wants to show off at other people's weddings.

After the Cheng family's wedding, it was gloomy for several days.The cold weather makes all the ladies don't like to go out, and it's the end of the new year, and the banquets are temporarily suspended.The weather finally cleared up this day.Early in the morning, Feng Jingsu came to Xue's residence to pick Xue Ai out of the city to play.Pan couldn't say anything, so she let Xue Ai go.

Xue Ying, who had recovered from her injuries and finished copying "Nvrui" and "Nvjie", was a little annoyed, "Why is Princess Yunyi so kind to Sanmei? I heard that the crown prince has gotten very close to Princess Yunyi recently, don't What did the third sister say about her father, did the princess win her over just for the sake of plagiarism?"

Mrs. Pan believed in the elder daughter's words the most, and she became worried when she heard it, "I warned Elle to be careful of her words and deeds at the beginning, and I will ask her when she comes back. If she does something that is not good for your father, I will be the first to forgive you." without her!"

Xue Ai was sitting in the carriage, her eyes glanced at Feng Jingsu who was at the side from time to time, but because of the maids in the palace, she could only watch secretly.

"What's the matter? Is it cold?" Feng Jingsu was different, holding her hand openly and hiding it in her arms.

"It's not cold." Xue Ai sucked at the tip of her little nose that was frozen red, and shook her head.

"He said it wasn't cold, and his nose was red." Feng Jingsu simply pulled him into his arms and wrapped her in a cloak tightly.

Xue Ai's face turned red instantly, and Xiaozhu Xiaoduo and Meng'an were still there, why is Sister Su so good?But she still chose to nestle in Feng Jingsu's arms and not look up, anyway, she was already like this, so she might as well just be an ostrich.

Xiaozhu Xiaoduo and Meng Anqi turned their heads, looking at the sky, the ground, or the scenery outside.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very awkward, probably the only one who wasn't embarrassed was Feng Jingsu.She felt that the little fox in her arms was warm and comfortable to hold.

The carriage stopped at the gate of a courtyard outside the city, and several people got out of the carriage.

Xue Ai looked at the plaque on the door, "Lengmei's other courtyard? Isn't this the other courtyard of King Xin?"

Feng Jingsu pulled her into the door, "Uncle Xin is afraid of the cold, and won't come here recently, so I asked him to lend me the other courtyard to play for a day. Do you know what is the most famous place here?"

This Xue Ai is still very clear. "This is called Lengmei Bieyuan, of course plum blossoms are the most famous."

"I'll take you to admire the plum blossoms." Feng Jingsu pulled Xue Ai and ran away.

"Hey! Miss!" Meng An was about to chase after her, but was stopped by Xiaozhu Xiaoduo holding her hand.

"Meng'an, come with us to cook for the masters, we don't need to serve over there." Xiao Zhu laughed.She and Xiaoduo had already received Feng Jingsu's order, just keep an eye on Meng'an, and don't care about anything else.

Xue Ai was dragged by Feng Jingsu all the way into a large grove of plums behind the courtyard.The plum blossoms here are all white plums, which look different from the plum blossoms elsewhere.

Although Xue Ai has long known that the plum blossoms here are famous, this is the first time he has seen them with his own eyes.

"Wow!" She opened her mouth wide in surprise, "What a beautiful Baimei!"

Feng Jingsu pulled her into the plum grove, the cold fragrance was tangy and refreshing.Xue Ai sniffed the fragrance of plum blossoms, and unexpectedly got hit on her body. She looked back and found that it was Feng Jingsu who threw a snowball at her.

"Bad guys!" Xue Ai threw the snowball back without saying a word.

Feng Jingsu didn't hide, and even took the initiative to meet Xueqiu, "Don't be so stingy."

Xue Ai became addicted to playing snowball fights. In my memory, my sisters played like this when I was a child, but no one wanted to play with her, so she just watched from the sidelines, feeling envious in her heart.

Feng Jingsu played with Xue Ai crazy for a while, seeing that Xue Ai's hands and face were red from the cold, she hurriedly dragged her into the house.

"No, I haven't played enough!" Xue Ai was too excited to leave.

"Little fool, if you continue to play, you will freeze." Feng Jingsu couldn't let her struggle, so she dragged her away.

She didn't feel it outside, but as soon as she entered the room, Xue Ai felt the bone-chilling cold invade her body, and she couldn't help shivering.

As soon as Feng Jingsu turned around, she saw Xue Ai shaking vigorously, and came over to untie her cloak and take it off. "You know it's cold now? Why don't you come back? Do you really want to become a frozen fox?"

The author has something to say: Xue Ai: Go out and play!Sister Su is the best!

Feng Jingsu: I really want to eat...

Xue Ai: Yes, I really want to eat (saliva)

Feng Jingsu: Huh?Suddenly there is a sense of crisis...

My heart aches for adding more and losing favorites!
