The Empire and the Kingdom

Feng Jingsu lowered her head and laughed non-stop, Xue Ai found herself scolding herself and pouted angrily, "Sister Su is the worst!"

Feng Jingsu finally stopped laughing, and waved to her, "Come here, let me tell you why I want to make you fat."

Xue Ai was angry, but still curious, so she leaned over to listen.

"You can eat it because you are fat."

Xue Ai was so angry that she bumped her head on Feng Jingsu's shoulder, "You still raise pigs." After she finished speaking, she also understood the meaning of Feng Jingsu's words, blushing and pointing fingers, "I won't let you eat."

"Huh?" Feng Jingsu raised her brows slightly, "Aren't you going to eat?"

How does Xue Ai answer this?to eat?She needs face.Not to eat?She thought in her heart, 1 thoughts!

Xue Ai turned her back angrily and said nothing, leaving a back for Feng Jingsu.

Feng Jingsu rubbed Xue Ai's thin and small back with her hand, "Xiao Ai, the prince should be alienated from Zhuang Ruoshui after returning to Beijing, and he will also renew his interest in you. There will definitely be rumors about this in the capital , but you don’t have to be afraid, before the prince marries the concubine, you won’t be allowed to pass through the door.”

Xue Ai turned around silently, "Sister Su, can I really not marry the prince?" This was her deepest fear, and she knew that even Feng Jingsu could do nothing in front of the emperor's order.

"You trust me, okay?" Feng Jingsu touched her cheek, "Even if I really can't do it, at worst I will take you back to Fei Yejin, and by that time the emperor will have nothing to do with us.

Feiyejin Academy is their last refuge.As long as there is a master, no country on the mainland dares to provoke, let alone use force.However, Fei Yejin's protection was not provided casually.There is a rule in the academy that after disciple Yicheng goes down the mountain, if he wants to return to live in the academy, it means returning to the academy. At this time, he needs to abandon all secular identities. He will be a member of the academy from now on, and he is not allowed to leave without permission.

However, the academy has been going down for more than ten years now, and batch after batch of disciples have gone down the mountain, and no one has come back yet.

Feng Jingsu's words did not make Xue Ai feel much easier.Hiding in Feiyejin is one way, but it is also the last and worst way.That would mean that Feng Jingsu would abandon her ambitions, which Xue Ai didn't want.She can give up everything and even her life, just to help Feng Jingsu realize her wish.

After the two returned to Beijing, they went home separately.As soon as Xue Ai entered the house, she was called by Mrs. Pan to ask about the trip, and Feng Jingsu was similar. The two had already agreed on their rhetoric, and there would be no problem.

The emperor's inquiries about Feng Jingsu were particularly detailed, because Feng Jingsu had a lot of tasks on his shoulders during this trip.The group of bodyguards she trained had already returned to the mountains to continue their training. As for the problems exposed in this actual battle, Feng Jingsu had already sorted them out and presented them to the emperor on the way.The prince came back alive and well, at least the protection of these guards was successful, and the emperor was very satisfied with this.

"Yun Yi, is it true that the prince said that you and Xue Ai were hunted down?" the emperor asked suddenly.

"It is true. My son and Miss Xue San were chased and killed, and the prince was also attacked. It was difficult for my son to take care of it all at once, so I had to join the prince." Feng Jingsu understood that this was what the prince told the emperor about King An.

"Who do you think did it?" the emperor continued to ask calmly.

Feng Jingsu showed a look of hesitation, "Father, I have already told the prince what I think about this matter, and the father can ask the prince."

The emperor frowned, "Why don't you tell me directly?"

"Father," Feng Jingsu raised her head, "I have the trust of my father, and I can share my worries for my father. But my son is a princess after all, and women in the harem are not allowed to discuss government affairs. Bad guy, I have no choice but to tell the prince my thoughts on this matter in private." She is a princess, no matter how capable she is, she is still a princess, and there are some things that she should not say.She just wants the emperor to know her identity. If the emperor wants to rely on her, he must give her more rights and remove her many restrictions as a princess.

The emperor nodded after hearing this, "Yun Yi, I didn't expect you to remember the palace rules and regulations after ten years away, which means that Feiyejin Academy taught you very well. Well, I won't ask you about this matter, but What you said reminds me that it is against the palace rules for me to let you go out of the palace to train the guards. In this way, I will give you a secret decree. If someone makes things difficult for you one day, you can put all the faults on me Come on."

Who can embarrass a princess?In addition to the emperor, there are probably only queens.This sentence sounded the alarm for Feng Jingsu. It should be because of what the queen said to the emperor while she was away from the palace that the emperor would give her a protection in advance.

"My son, thank you father and emperor."

Prince An's incident was reported by the prince, and after the emperor sent someone to verify it was true, he seized the title and was imprisoned.Along this line, it was found that King An had an illegitimate son whose biological mother was a prostitute in a brothel.There is a regulation in Yun State that only children born to prostitutes after they become good can be recorded in the family tree.King An and that prostitute were just in love, and he had no intention of bringing her close to the palace.Moreover, Wang An didn't know that the prostitute was pregnant. It wasn't until 16 years later that a young man entered the palace to be a servant, and Wang An found out that this son was printed in the same mold as himself.

King An had no children, and when he learned that the prostitute was dead, he wanted to recognize his only son.That's why he tried his best to establish a relationship with Zongzheng Temple and record this son in the royal genealogy.

Regarding the assassination of the prince, King An was completely out of the loop.He firmly denied that he had done anything to the prince, and only admitted that he sent people to hunt down Feng Jingsu and Xue Ai.

Regarding the matter of being interested in the throne, King An also refused to admit it. He only said that the structure of the courtyard was changed in the main courtyard located in the Qian position, but he didn't know that the main courtyard became the Qian position after the modification.

While the case of King An was still under review, a big news came that the Kingdom of Li had started war against the Kingdom of Yi!

As soon as Feng Jingsu got the news, Yi Jiachenxu and Jing Hanyou immediately appeared in her mind.The relationship between these two people is equivalent to the relationship between her and Gu Li. They studied art together, lived together, and grew up together. It can be said that the sisters under the same master are far closer than the sisters at home.But good fortune tricks people, now that the two countries are at war, as the princesses of the two countries, can the two of them stay out of it?

Of course not.According to Feng Jingsu's understanding, after Yi Jiachenxu came down from the mountain two years ago, he was conferred the title of Zhen Guo Princess by Emperor Yi Jiashu.According to the tradition of the Yi Kingdom, if the word "Zhen Guo" is added before the title of the princess, the status can be above the princes, only below the emperor and the prince.Yi Jiachenxu has long taken over Yi Guo's internal affairs, and Yi Guo's changes in the past two years are also obvious, but...for this battle, Feng Jingsu is still not optimistic about Yi Guo.

Yi State is rich and prosperous, so Yi State loves extravagance from the court to the people.There are beauties in the country of Yi, a place that is rich and beautiful, who else can we count on to work hard?Yi Country's extravagance didn't start in the last few years, it has lasted for decades, and Yi Country can still support it now, it can only show that the people of Yi Country are so infatuated with beauty and wealth that they don't even have the idea of ​​rebellion.

With such a big piece of fat on his lips, how could the Li Kingdom, which established itself with martial arts, not be tempted?It's not a day or two since the Li Kingdom has been staring at the Yi Kingdom. All the surrounding countries can see it. The only one who can't see it is probably the Yi Kingdom.

Yi Jiachenxu could see it, and had already seen it.Feng Jingsu remembered that when Chen Xu hadn't gone down the mountain, they had a chat once. Feng Jingsu asked Chen Xu what his plans were after going down the mountain. She felt that it was impossible for Chen Xu to simply marry herself and spend her whole life with her husband and son.

Chen Xu thought for a while and said, "Save the country of Yi."

"Save?" Of course Feng Jingsu also saw Li Guo's threat to Yi Guo, but she didn't think it was enough to use the word "save".

"Yes." Chen Xu affirmed, "Save the country of Yi at all costs."

To this day, Feng Jingsu still doesn't know what Chen Xu's "do nothing at all" means. What did the head disciple of the academy, Princess Yi Guo Zhen Guo, pay for Yi Guo?But looking at Yi Guo's current state, Feng Jingsu felt that Chen Xu was mostly futile.A house in dire straits, no matter how long it may last, will collapse immediately if it is really repaired.

Ask yourself, if you change places, Feng Jingsu feels that even if you don't dare to do too much with Yi Guo, otherwise the whole Yi State will collapse.

As for Jing Hanyou, although both Chen Xu and Chen Xu are disciples of the academy, and she entered the academy in the same year as her, even because Jiang Fengmin taught Jing Hanyou martial arts, Feng Jingsu and her relationship should be closer, but Feng Jingsu really Hejing Hanyou didn't see the right board.If there is no mutual friend like Chen Xu between the two of them, it is probably the kind that never communicates with each other.

"Master, don't lose to Jing Hanyou, I don't want to see her proud face."

April [-] is Xue Ai's birthday, and April [-] is Xue Ying's birthday two days later.Therefore, Mrs. Pan has always celebrated the birthdays of her two daughters together, and the date is chosen on April [-]th, and she will invite celebrities from the capital to attend.This is the case every year. Everyone knows exactly who the birthday party is for, including Xue Ai.

On her birthday, all she can get is a bowl of longevity noodles, and an extra ten taels of silver for each lady's birthday.As for the presents from the parents and sisters, Xue Ying won't be able to get them until two days later, after Xue Ying's birthday.

On April [-]th of this year, Feng Jingsu took Xue Ai out to Lengmei Bieyuan in the suburbs.Xue Aineng and Feng Jingsu were very happy together, she thought they were tired of being together when they were alone, but unexpectedly Feng Jingsu talked to her about the academy, especially the elder sister Yi Jiachenxu.

"Sister Su, Yi Guo and Li Guo are at war, don't you feel bad? Are you worried about Princess Yi Min?" Xue Ai is still so understanding.

Feng Jingsu sighed, "Xiao Ai, in fact, it is good for me to go to war between Yi Kingdom and Li Kingdom, but in my heart..." Feng Jingsu frowned, "I have been in Feiyejin Academy for ten years, and the people I have the most contact with are Master and Junior Sister , if there are more to count, it is the head of the courtyard and the elder sister. I can't imagine what it would be like for such a glorious person if he lost this battle and became a prisoner?"

It was the first time Xue Ai saw Feng Jingsu's painful and contradictory appearance. She felt distressed and curious, "Sister Su, is Princess Yimin a particularly good person?"

Feng Jingsu shook her head, "She is the most boring person in the world. She is smart, decisive, kind and considerate, so she will always unknowingly carry all the responsibilities on her own shoulders." Feng Jingsu recalled getting along with Chen Xu In those days, many people said that the two of them were very similar, both smart and self-disciplined.It's just that she spends all her time on self-improvement, while Chen Xu spends more time on dealing with academy affairs.In this way, she is not yet Chen Xu's opponent in terms of martial arts and strategy, so... Who would say that the two of them are alike?

"It's so heartbreaking to say that Princess Yimin!" Xue Ai and Feng Jingsu quickly developed empathy. "But doesn't Li Kingdom still have Princess Roujia? Since she is Princess Yimin's junior sister, even if the country is destroyed, she will not watch Princess Yimin suffer."

When Jing Hanyou was mentioned, Feng Jingsu looked contemptuous. "Only relying on her? I can't protect Elder Sister." Jing Hanyou couldn't guess what Chen Xu was thinking.Although she didn't want to admit it, she felt that Yi Guo had almost no chance of winning in the war between Yi Guo and Li Guo.But if Chen Xu and Jing Hanyou go to war, then Jing Hanyou has almost no chance of winning. The only possibility is that Chen Xu's heart softens.

Hearing what Feng Jingsu said, Xue Ai also began to worry about Chen Xu's safety. "Sister Su, you said that if it's not possible, you can go back to Feiyejin Academy. I think Princess Yimin, as the head disciple of the academy, will not be ignorant of this, and she will not go back, right?" Xue Ai's big eyes She couldn't bear it. Although she was asking, she already knew the answer. If she could fly back to Yejin, how could Feng Jingsu have such out-of-control emotions?

"She will not abandon the royal family. She always wants to be perfect. If someone has to sacrifice, then the sacrifice must be her." Feng Jingsu suddenly smiled, "Elder sister, follow the master to learn. I have learned a lot of skills, but I have not learned the ruthlessness of being in charge of the academy."

Xue Ai took Feng Jingsu's hand, "Then what can we do?" Xue Ai is still a man of action.

Feng Jingsu smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I can always help."

Xue Ai saw that Feng Jingsu was not in high spirits, and did not deliberately make Feng Jingsu happy, so she sat with Feng Jingsu for a long time.Feng Jingsu looked at the little fox beside her, and felt that no matter what, the one she loved was still by her side, which made her much happier than Chen Xu.No matter how dangerous and unpredictable the future is, at least there is no need to fall in love and kill the one you love.

Feng Jingsu suddenly pulled Xue Ai into her arms, and Xue Ai hugged Feng Jingsu's neck very obediently, "Sister Su, I will be by your side and will never leave you."

Feng Jingsu hugged her tightly, her little fox was the most obedient, smart and considerate.

"It's your birthday today, let's go, let's get your birthday gift." Feng Jingsu pulled Xue Ai out.It was getting dark outside, and the two sat in the room for most of the day.

"What gift?" Xue Ai looked around the yard, there was nothing there?

Feng Jingsu pointed to the sky, and under the starry sky, a firework suddenly bloomed, followed by the second, and then the third, countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky, extremely bright.

"Wow!" Xue Ai was so happy that he clapped his hands.

Yushu Yuyan Meng An Xiaoduo brought out a bunch of fireworks tubes at this time, Xue Ai's eyes widened, "Can I set off the fireworks by myself?" She ran over to pick up a fireworks tube, and Meng An on the side handed over one to light. The fragrance, she looked at it, with a bitter face, "I dare not."

The little fox looks very cute.Feng Jingsu came over to take the incense, held Xue Ai's hand again, lit the fireworks tube, and set off the fireworks with her.

Several other girls also started to light fireworks, and soon, the girls in the yard went crazy.Laughing and clamoring to set off all the fireworks tubes.

Amidst the fireworks, Feng Jingsu leaned into Xue Ai's ear and said, "Happy birthday, my little fox."

Xue Ai's eyes were brighter than fireworks, she tiptoed quietly, and kissed Feng Jingsu's lips. "Xiaoai likes Sister Su the most."

Two days later, Xue Ying's birthday banquet was very lively. Xue Ying showed the demeanor and knowledge of the young lady of the Xue family in front of the guests, but she looked at Xue Ai with the victor's arrogance.Xue Ai didn't care about it at all.After having such a beautiful birthday night, she only felt childish and ridiculous about Xue Ying's provocation.

Some women are already working hard for the safety of the country, while some women are still calculating about the trivial matters between sisters. The former is great, while the latter is boring.Xue Ai not only does not want to be the latter, but also does not want to care about people like the latter.

Since all the guests came to congratulate Xue Ying on her birthday, the gifts were naturally for Xue Ying. What Xue Ai got was only gifts from her own family, which was actually worse than Xue Ying's.Today's Xue Ai has no hope for Pan, so she still politely thanked Pan and all the sisters, went to the front yard to thank Xue Xiang, and then returned to Pingle Pavilion with her things.

"Third Sister is really calm." Xue Zhi followed Wang back to Xihai Residence, and said as soon as she entered the door, "That's right, she didn't respond to such a small gift in previous years. Today is what it should be." Why is this year's Xue Ai is not noisy, she will feel strange?Xue Zhi thought about it, since last summer, Xue Ai's popularity has been getting stronger day by day, which gives people the illusion that this birthday party will be different, or is it anticipation?

Mrs. Wang waved her hand, "My silly girl, you only saw the little things that the young ladies gave to the young lady at the banquet. They were just for looking good. The real good things were sent directly to Pingle from the back door this afternoon. It belongs to the pavilion." Wang clapped her fingers, "Princess Ming Qi gave a generous gift, Princess Yun Yi gave a generous gift, Feng's family gave a generous gift, they are all good things."
