The Empire and the Kingdom

Xue Ai found Feng Qianzi. Feng Qianzi was still in the white clothes she usually likes, so it was easy to find.Standing beside her was a woman in blue, about the same age as Feng Qianzi, looking at her with a smile.

After seeing the salute, Xue Ai and Feng Qianzi looked up at the woman in blue, and suddenly saluted, "I've met Miss Guan San."

"How do you know?" Guan Xuejing's smile froze on his face.

Feng Qianzi covered her mouth with a chuckle, stretched out a hand, "Here."

Guan Xuejing shook her head and sighed, "Xiao Ai, you caused me to lose 100 taels of silver, that is my lucky money." She conjured up a 100 taels of silver note and put it in Feng Qianzi's hand.

Feng Qianzi patted Xue Ai on the shoulder, "You won the 100 taels for me, and I will give you 50 taels later."

Xue Ai blinked her big eyes twice, "Are you betting on whether I can recognize Miss Guan San?"

"That's right, she said that you definitely won't be able to guess it. You see, she lost." Feng Qianzi was very proud.

Xue Ai looked at Feng Qianzi and then at Guan Xuejing. How should I put it, she had a feeling that Feng Qianzi next to Guan Xuejing was much more lively. Is this her illusion?

"How did you guess it?" Guan Xuejing asked with concern.

"Hmm..." Xue Ai frowned, "Sister Feng usually has no one around. Sister Su said that Ms. Guan San is celebrating the New Year in the capital recently, so of course she will come to this palace banquet." A cute face with a flattering face.

Feng Qianzi pulled her towards her, "Xiao Ai, you don't have to be afraid of her, she's just a paper tiger, she'll break if you blow on it."

Guan Xuejing scratched her head, "Xiao Ai, you call them sisters, why do you call me Miss Guan San? I won't do it." She hugged her shoulders and pretended to be angry.

After all, Xue Ai and Guan Xuejing were unfamiliar, she looked at Feng Qianzi, Feng Qianzi nodded encouragingly, she came over and pulled Guan Xuejing's sleeve, "Sister Guan, please don't get angry, okay?"

"Huh?" Guan Xuejing turned her head arrogantly.As a result, when she turned her head, she saw Feng Jingsu striding towards this side, and Feng Jingsu's eyes were fixed on Xue Ai's hand holding Guan Xuejing's sleeve.

Why is this picture so inexplicably familiar?In the academy, she often saw the masters being jealous, and then there was a scene of gossip.She was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Feng Qianzi, poked her head out and smiled obsequiously at Feng Jingsu, "Hi, Senior Sister."

Xue Ai was just pulling Guan Xuejing's sleeve to act like a spoiled child, but in a blink of an eye, there was nothing in his hand.Before she could react, someone grabbed her hand.She raised her head and saw Feng Jingsu looking at her with a smile, her face turned red instantly.Sister Su has such a beautiful smile!

"Hey, it's red! It's so fast!" Guan Xuejing added to the confusion.Feng Qianzi elbowed her so much that she bent down and dared not speak.

Both Feng Jingsu and Xue Ai turned their heads to watch the domestic violence on the spot.Feng Jingsu gave a thumbs up, "Good tutor!"

Feng Qianzi didn't refute, but smiled instead, "I made the princess laugh."

Xue Ai, who was silent at the side, continued to look at this, then at that, and thinking of what Feng Jingsu said just now, her eyes widened and she suddenly covered her mouth.Sister Feng and Sister Guan are...really?

The four of them got together and chatted harmoniously.A lady next to her looked over, and when she saw these four people, her eyes were filled with envy and envy.Sure enough, family background is very important, and noble girls should play with noble girls.Look at these four people, a princess, a daughter of the Duke's Mansion, a daughter of Zhongshu Ling, and a daughter of the Prime Minister, the families behind these four people are the biggest support and reliance of Yun Kingdom.

Xue Ying also watched from time to time.The small circle on her side actually has a very high family background. Sun Yihan is the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, and a few of them are also the daughters of the officials of the Sixth Ministry. 01:30 o'clock.

Why is there such a gap?In fact, it is also very easy to understand.Xue Ying has always been sharp, and the lady who can be with her must be from a family that is not as good as the Xue family, otherwise, how can anyone stand Xue Ying's temper?Although Xue Ai is smart, she is very tolerant. Of course, her smartness determines that she can play with people who are equally smart.In Xue Ai's small circle, even Guan Xuejing, who doesn't look very smart, is Fei Yejin's disciple, so what's the difference?

"Sister Ying, that's the third miss of the Guan family!" Sun Yihan whispered while pulling Xue Ying's arm.

"So what?" Xue Ying snorted coldly.

"I heard that she has been studying in an outside academy, and this is the first time I've seen her." Sun Yihan stared at Guan Xuejing secretly with widened eyes, and found that the third miss of the Guan family was always chasing after Feng Qian with a flattering smile. Beside Zi Zi, she seemed to be a very easy-going person, "I remember that she and Miss Feng are relatives, right?"

"It seems to be." Xue Ying also looked at Guan Xuejing.Guan Xuejing's appearance and beauty are not of the same type.She inherited the bravery of the family, and she belongs to the heroic type. Looking at her every move, there is only one word that comes to mind, handsome!

"No wonder I've been with Miss Feng all the time." Sun Yihan curled his lips, "Sister Ying, your third sister is really a powerful character, I think you should be careful. You see, she first got the favor of Princess Yunyi, and then climbed up to her." Miss Feng, through these two people, she will naturally get online with Miss Guan San. She gradually develops her contacts step by step, and it won't take long for her to become an important figure in the capital circle. By then, she will be at home Your position will overwhelm you." Sun Yihan felt that he was reminding Xue Ying that the current situation in Xiangfu was already like this.

Xue Ying was bitter in her heart, and for the sake of face, she pretended not to care on the surface, "Are you kidding me, can she overwhelm me? I am the eldest daughter, and you know how much my mother doesn't like her, so I don't worry about it." point."

Sun Yihan didn't say anything more, what she said just now was suspected of provoking.

The four people here talked for a while and then separated. The four of them together are too conspicuous.Feng Jingsu pulled Xue Ai aside, looked at the fluorite earrings on her ears, and touched them with her hand, "It's so beautiful to wear."

Amy Xue said happily, "The dynasty will start in a few days, is Sister Su ready?"

"Hmm..." Feng Jingsu was noncommittal.

Xue Ai frowned, did something go wrong with the plan?

Seeing that she was so worried, Feng Jingsu couldn't tease her anymore, "It's all ready, don't worry."

Xue Ai breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope everything goes well."

"Even if it doesn't go well, I have a way to make it go smoothly." Feng Jingsu learned tricks from the head of the school. One thing can never be so-called foolproof. If it can't go according to the original plan, then To make the best use of the situation, the second and third plans can be born at any time.The so-called plan is dead, people are alive.

When the master taught them, they were in pairs, and they directly used their plans to fight against each other's plans. There were changes and adjustments at any time.Unfortunately, her opponents are usually the big sister Yi Jiachenxu.In addition to being inferior to Chen Xu in martial arts, she is also the kind who has been completely abused in terms of strategy.

In fact, her strategy is not bad at all, but it is not as fast as Chen Xu's changes.Usually they can keep up at the beginning, but after following, Chen Xu is already several steps ahead of her, and she can only admit defeat.

Jiang Fengmin's explanation for this was that his apprentice had a solid heart, and he followed his master.

The palace banquet is about to begin, and everyone returns to their seats.Xue Ying has always wanted to find a noble person to save face for herself, but unfortunately, after looking around, she found that the princesses all have their own small circles. If she joins in rashly, there may not be good results, so she has to return to her seat unwillingly.

Xue Ai also just came back, her little face was still red.As soon as she sat down, the queen and concubines had already entered the table, and everyone stood up and knelt down to greet her.

After some etiquette, the banquet finally started.Xue Ai worked hard to find vegetable leaves on the plate in front of her, she was really hungry.At this time, the singing and dancing in the arena started, one show after another, Xue Ai felt a little bored, got up and walked in front of Mrs. Pan and whispered: "Mother, I'll go out for a while." She made a gesture to clean the room.

Pan waved his hand, "Go and come back quickly, don't run around."

"Yes." Xue Ai took Meng'an to the door, the cold wind outside was blowing in through the thick curtain, she let out a sigh of relief, the air here is fine.

After standing for a while, Meng An said: "Miss, don't stand here blowing cold wind all the time, you will get sick."

Just as Xue Ai was about to go back, he happened to run into Princess Lingxin who was also at the door to breathe. "Miss Xue San, what a coincidence."

Xue Ai hurriedly saluted.The two had just met a few days ago, and they had a good conversation, and this time they chatted at the door.

Pan waited for a while but did not see Xue Ai coming back. She was afraid that Xue Ai would run around and cause trouble, so she asked the maid to go to the door to have a look. The maid came back and said that Xue Ai was chatting with Princess Lingxin.

When Xue Ying heard it, a small pimple formed between her brows. "How come Sanmei is so familiar with Princess Lingxin again?"

"Princess Lingxin is the daughter of Princess Ming Qi, what's so strange about that?" Pan sighed, imagining again how great it would be if all of Xue Ai's friends were Xue Ying's.

Xue Ying thought that only Xue Ai and Princess Lingxin were chatting at this time, so it shouldn't be too abrupt to go out and pretend to meet by chance.If she is familiar with Princess Lingxin, can she also catch up with Princess Mingqi? As long as she lets Princess know that she is good, she will naturally not like that hypocritical Xue Ai.

"Mother, I'll go out for a while." After greeting Pan Shi, Xue Ying also came to the door.

Seeing Xue Ying coming, Xue Ai smiled and said, "Is Eldest Sister going out?"

Xue Ying pretended to bump into the two by accident, "No, I'm here to get some air." She saluted Princess Lingxin, "My daughter Xue Ying has met Princess Lingxin."

Princess Lingxin had met Xue Ying before, "Hi Miss Xue."

"I don't know what the princess is talking about with my third sister?" Xue Ying naturally joined the conversation team.

Princess Lingxin will definitely not let the scene cool down, and the three of them talked quite lively.

After a while, Feng Jingsu came over.Princess Lingxin is her cousin. After they greeted each other, Xue Ying and Xue Ai greeted Feng Jingsu again.

"Why are you all blowing the cold wind here?" Feng Jingsu came over and stood beside Xue Ai intentionally or unintentionally, helping her block the cold wind at the door.

Princess Lingxin smiled and said: "The hall is too stuffy, we are here to get some air." She pushed Xue Ai, "My cousin, I will take care of Miss Xue San for you, and make sure she has a hair None will fall."

Xue Ai was pushed directly into Feng Jingsu's arms by Princess Lingxin. Feng Jingsu hurriedly helped her up, then turned to Princess Lingxin and said, "Then thank you, cousin." She pulled Xue Ai back to the palace in.

Xue Ying felt that this was a godsend opportunity, so she carefully talked with Princess Lingxin, and the two chatted happily.

After standing for a while, Princess Lingxin said: "I've been out for a while, it's time to go back, or mother will be worried."

Xue Ying smiled and said: "Exactly, I should go back too. I haven't greeted the eldest princess for a new year, can the princess let me go to greet the eldest princess?"

"Miss Xue is too polite, please follow me." Princess Lingxin brought Xue Ying to Princess Mingqi's side, and explained Xue Ying's purpose to the princess.

The eldest princess is all the emperor's sisters and sisters, who are chatting, and when they see Xue Ying coming, they all look at Xue Ying.

Xue Ying is not someone who has never seen the big world, and she didn't panic when she saw this kind of scene. After she came to pay her respects to Princess Ming Qi, she took advantage of the opportunity to greet the other royal relatives before she retired.

"Lingxin, what does Miss Xue's family mean by this?" Princess Ming Qi didn't understand what Xue Yingmao said when she rushed to greet her.

Princess Lingxin sat beside her mother, "I don't know either. I was chatting with Miss Xue San just now, and Miss Xue came over to join us. After Miss Xue San left, she will come with me to give you Please be safe."

Speaking of this, Princess Ming Qi understood the meaning of her daughter's words.She nodded, smiled and said nothing.

Eldest Princess Minghui, who was much younger than her, came over, "Young ladies, everything is more important than anything. Sister, you have been kind to Miss Xue San recently, even I have heard about it. No wonder the eldest lady wants to come over for you Please be safe, this is a challenge!"

Princess Ming Qi kept nodding, and finally asked her sister: "Then what do you think I should do?"

Princess Minghui patted her sister's shoulder, "Sister, you're already old, what do you care about? You, how happy you are, pamper whoever you like, Lingxin, am I right? "

Princess Lingxin nodded sharply, "Little aunt is right."

On the other side, Feng Jingsu pulled Xue Ai into the side hall next to her, when Cuidie came over with a plate of pastries, still steaming.

"The plum blossom crisps just came out of the pan in the Imperial Dining Room, Third Miss hurry up and try them." Cuidie put the plum blossom crisps on the table.

Xue Ai looked at Feng Jingsu and brought a plate of pastries out of nowhere.

"The palace banquet is full of meat food, are you not full?" Feng Jingsu took a piece of plum blossom pastry and stuffed it into her hand, "Eat it quickly, don't let people find out."

Xue Ai took a bite with a smile, the one just out of the pan was indeed delicious and soft, and she quickly ate a piece.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Feng Jingsu couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth. Feeding the fox was a lot of fun, so she stuffed another piece for Xue Ai.

"Sister Su, you can eat too." Xue Ai brought the plum blossom crisps in her hand to Feng Jingsu's mouth.

The two knew that this was not a place to mess around, so they quickly ate two pieces of plum blossom cakes and returned to the main hall.

After a palace banquet was over, on the way back, Pan looked at Xue Ying's happy face and didn't know what happened. It was inconvenient to ask in the carriage. When she got home, she immediately called Xue Ying who was about to leave, "Ying'er, I Seeing that you are very happy along the way, what's the matter?"

Xue Ying shook her head, "Mother, it's nothing, it's getting late, mother, you should go to bed earlier, my daughter is leaving."

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials handed over the evaluation of officials in the past year.After the emperor came down to court, he watched slowly, and the evaluation of officials was divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The upper grades were promoted, the middle grades were continued, and the lower grades were demoted.There are many aspects in the assessment of the Ministry of Officials, and basically no major mistakes have been made in these years.

After reading the assessment memorials, the emperor looked at other memorials. Soon, a censor, an official in the Ministry of Officials who was responsible for reviewing the assessment of officials, bent the law for personal gain, tampered with the official assessment results in private, and attached evidence.

The official whose grades were tampered with, Zhuang Haisen.A favoritism official, Cheng Haobo.The evidence is that Cheng Haobai suddenly has a farm under his name. Although the farm is not big, it is worth 5000 taels of silver according to the market price.

The Zhuang family and the Cheng family are related by marriage, which is a natural alliance.When the emperor saw these two names put together, he probably believed them.He called the relevant ministers to investigate the matter secretly, and he must find out.

As a result, the investigation went a little deeper, and it turned out that Cheng Haobo was not only doing this one thing of bending the law for personal gain, but also a lot more.It has been less than three years since Cheng Haobai took this review position, so far, there are as many as eight incidents of accepting bribes and perverting the law for personal gain. After the emperor called Cheng Haobai's father, Cheng Jiazhong, to scold him, he immediately dismissed Cheng Haobai from his official position. , and the decree is to abolish fame and fame, and never use them.

This was undoubtedly a big blow to the Cheng family.After the queen learned that this matter was issued after the imperial decree, she couldn't change what was done.She will know this matter in the end, which means that the emperor wanted to hide it from her, why did he hide it from her?Because Cheng Jiazhong is her second elder brother, and Cheng Haobai is her biological nephew.If she got the news in advance, she would definitely go to the imperial court to intercede. No matter what the emperor did at that time, the husband and wife would not end well.That being the case, the empress also understood the emperor's good intentions, so she didn't talk too much in front of the emperor. Instead, she called her second brother Cheng Jiazhong to reprimand her again, and at the same time asked her second brother to bring a message to her natal family. This kind of thing should not happen again. How can a big family business be greedy for cheap ideas?It's embarrassing to say it.
