"Whether it is King Xuan or Mrs. Hou, they are not people to be messed with, since you have a holiday with them, you don't say that you should always be on guard, but you should also take precautions."

Having said that, it is too tiring to be so cautious. Xie Ning blinked his eyes and replied with a straight face: "What Uncle Pei said is very true, I will keep it in mind." ”

With Pei Xinghai's understanding of Xie Ning, he could naturally see that she was disapproving, and couldn't help but remind again: "Now that King An has left Beijing, no one has come forward for you, and they have nothing to worry about, you don't have to be careless." ”

"I understand, I will be more careful in the future, and I will not give people a chance." didn't want Uncle Pei's attitude to be so serious, Xie Ning immediately put away his negligent thoughts, but his voice inevitably brought out a touch of gloom. What Uncle Pei said was true, without Qin Feng's care, she would definitely have no power to resist King Shangxuan.

But Qin Feng had already done so much for her, even though the two were close friends, and they had made a deal for mutual assistance before, how could she enjoy his protection with peace of mind.

She doesn't want to take advantage of the situation, but King Xuan is on a high and powerful throne, how should she deal with King Xuan's revenge? This problem is something that Shainin can't escape, and it's also something she can't solve now.

didn't want to take advantage of the situation, but had to explain, in a dilemma, how should she choose? Xie Ning's eyes flashed with thought, and suddenly he had more understanding of what Qin Feng had said to her-"Instead of breaking the situation by chance, it is better to try your best to improve." One day, when you are so tall that you can only make them look up, will anyone calculate against you? ”

In fact, thinking about it, compared to her, Qin Feng's situation was obviously more difficult. With Qin Xi's ruthless siblings, Xie Ning doesn't have to explore, and he knows how thin the royal family's family affection is. Because of this, she can better understand the intention of Qin Feng's words, and then understand his intentions in dealing with the bandits.

Uncle Pei had also reminded her before, saying that Qin Feng was going out to suppress bandits, and he must know it. But even if he has something to hide, it is indeed reasonable. She herself doesn't fight or rob, isn't she still calculated, not to mention Qin Feng's special identity, it is even more difficult to avoid fighting, if he no longer has the ambition to climb high and look far ahead, wouldn't he always have to live behind others and be despised by others?

Although he didn't know the details, Xie Ning suddenly understood a little why, knowing that Qin Xi had made a design, Qin Feng still didn't push or refuse, and went to Yandi lightly. This is the opportunity he has been waiting for, and it may be a long way to go, but it is also an opportunity for him to prove himself.

Two months later, the scene of that day is still vivid, as if it was yesterday. It was also from that day that Xie Ning realized that some things were not powerless for her, but only on how hard she tried.

It seems not easy to take the women's official examination a year later, but it is the only shortcut she can take at the moment. She is such an impulsive character, and she can't learn how to please others with the wrong mouth, not to mention that she is offended, and the temperament of King Xuan will be repaid, even if she intends to expose it, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve her wish.

As for asking her to live with trepidation, always beware of other people's calculations...... Xie Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly - staying in the house in the past few days, and not going out in order to avoid its edge was enough for her to be aggrieved. If she has to be frightened in the future, she might as well simply go back to Shu to live.

Having said that, Shainin had no plans to leave the capital. In her opinion, the capital is indeed more suitable for settlement than Shudi. Her father has worked hard for nearly 20 years, and now that the war is about to end, out of selfish considerations, she naturally hopes to let him stay in the capital and be transferred to a civilian position.

If she can also get a half-official position in the Ministry of War, and after gaining a firm foothold in Beijing, and then ask Qin Feng and Uncle Hou to help her move around, presumably her consideration will come true in the near future.

Of course, all this must be based on the premise that she becomes a female official, otherwise she would come forward to ask for help, wouldn't she still have to rely on the help of Qin Feng and Uncle Hou. Thinking about it this way, Shaining is even more imperative to take the female officer examination.

After all, although the grade of the female official of the dynasty is not high, but when the number of places is limited, being able to enter the office as a woman is a matter of pride. It is precisely because of this that female officials in various departments and ministries will be more respected.

If she can become a female official, all of Shainin's current predicaments can be solved. Whether it was Xiang's troubles or Qin Xi's revenge, it would no longer be her trouble, and she would no longer have to worry about how much trouble she had brought to Qin Feng.

Although in the eyes of the other party, relieving her may be just a gesture, and it is not a big deal. But Shainin couldn't accept this kindness plainly. She caused her own trouble, and the right and wrong she provoked, so why did she expect Qin Feng to help her finish it?

She also understood that when she met Qin Xi, she should have had a better way to deal with the other party, and she should have thought carefully to achieve her goal without being angered, but whenever something happened, she always couldn't restrain the impulse in her heart, and rushed forward without thinking.

The consequences of recklessness were unbearable for her at this time. Even if she is unwilling in her heart and does not have the strength to make people look at each other, Xie Ning can only try her best to restrain her excitement when encountering things, try to avoid competing with those who she can't provoke and look down on her, concentrate on improving herself, and prepare for the response to the female official examination.

Thinking all the way, before he knew it, he arrived at the restaurant, and Xie Ning followed Pei Xinghai out of the carriage. She didn't notice that Pei Xinghai beside her was also thoughtful.

***

The two had lunch, and without too much delay in the restaurant, they took a carriage to the west to the fat powder shop under the name of the Xie family.

The reason for this is because after meeting Mama Qin today, Pei Xinghai was afraid that Xie Ning's unauthorized exit from the house would be broken by her, causing trouble, after all, Xiang's attitude towards Xie Ning was not good.

Although Xie Ning felt the same way about Uncle Pei's worries, he didn't take this matter too seriously. She is not confident that she will not suffer a loss to the Shang Xiang family, after all, going out of the house without permission is indeed not something that a boudoir woman should do, if it is really put on the table, I am afraid that even Uncle Hou and grandmother may not tolerate it. But with Mama Qin secretly helping, as long as she has not accidentally exposed her whereabouts, she will not encounter any trouble.

Although she wasn't worried, Pei Xinghai couldn't help but care. Seeing Uncle Pei's slightly frowning brows, Xie Ning was about to explain the key to him when his voice came from his ear, "Now that you are in the Hou Mansion, it is better to pay more attention to your words and deeds." This was my lack of thought and consideration, which made you almost discovered. ”
