Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 1 Su Xi is the youngest girl in the Su Mansion, ranking ninth

Su Xi was born on a snowy night on New Year's Eve.Today is her birthday.

There is a custom in the Great Yan Dynasty that a child is one year old when he falls to the ground, and he will be one year older during the Chinese New Year.Therefore, even though Su Xi is twelve years old, she is just a ten-year-old girl.

Su Xi sent away a few close friends who came to celebrate her birthday, and when she came back from the backyard, the snow was still falling.There was a thick layer of snowflakes on the ground, and the suede boots creaked when they stepped on it.Su Xi walked into the room, brushed off the scum off her shoulders, took off the cherry-colored cloak with golden gourd patterns, handed it to Ting Yan, and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion.

Ting Yan put the cloak into the brightly carved cabinet, Ting He put a small hand stove into Su Xi's hand, and said: "It's so cold today, the girl must have been frozen out after staying outside for so long."

Su Xi leaned on the big welcoming pillow, her body relaxed, and she looked lazy.

Su Xi held the small hand stove, and waited until her hands were warmer before saying, "Sister Tang and Sister Yu specially came to celebrate my birthday, how can I not accompany them. Even if it's colder, I'm happy in my heart."

Listening to He saw that her girl's lips were curved, and her delicate and beautiful face was steamed by the earth dragon in the house, making her white and pink, making her look even more delicate and lovely.Like the plum blossom branches bent by the snow in the yard, the plum blossoms bloom from the snow, and the petals are fresh and tender, which is the most vivid color in winter.

Even if Ting He followed Su Xi for three or four years, he couldn't help but stare blankly at this moment.After a long while, he came back to his senses after listening to the crane, and said: "The maidservant has stewed whitebait soup, which is simmering on the kitchen stove. Miss, do you want to eat something? You were useless just now, and now it's far away from the family banquet in the evening It's still early, why don't the servants bring you a bowl."

There are four maidservants beside Su Xi, Tingyan, Tinghe, Tinglu, and Tingli.

Tingyan and Tinghe are older, thirteen this year, Tinglu and Tingli are twelve.

Each of these girls has their own strengths. Listening to the wild goose, they know how to punch and kick. They have practiced martial arts with General Su's chief steward since they were six years old. Transfer her to Su Xi's side to protect Su Xi's safety.Ting He is good at cooking, while Su Xi is picky and is only used to her cooking.There are two girls left, Ting Lu has a good medical skill, and Ting Li is excellent at embroidery.

These four people have been serving Su Xi for many years, and they do their best in everything and abide by their duties. They are as picky as Su Xi's mother Yin, and they are full of praise for these four girls.

At this moment, when Su Xi heard these words, the hand that was playing with the stove paused for a moment. After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind and reluctantly refused: "I won't eat."

After listening to He He, he naturally wanted to persuade: "Miss, you should use a little, lest you starve to death, and you are the one who suffers..."

Su Xi couldn't listen to these words, fearing that she would not be able to resist the temptation.She put the stove on the red sandalwood card flower three bent-legged incense table, covered her ears, her watery eyes were full of pleading: "Listen to Sister He, don't talk about it, I have my own sense of proportion. Besides, didn't I say it? Except three times a day Don't bring food to my room during the rest of the day." She has poor self-control, and it's really not easy to resist eating.

Ting He said: "But you didn't eat anything for lunch." There is only a piece of rose cold cake, half a bowl of white fungus custard, and it's not a sparrow. How can you be full?
Su Xi said, "That's enough."

She was worried that if she listened to He's persuasion, she would soon fail.Su Xi pushed Tinghe's waist and drove Tinghe out, "Go out, I have other things to do. If I don't call you, don't come in."

Su Xi is the youngest girl in the Su Mansion, ranking ninth.

In the early years, the old man Su followed the great ancestor to conquer the country and made great contributions. After the great ancestor ascended the throne, the old man Su Qingbo was named the first-rank Xuanwei general.Old Master Su is quite prestigious among military generals, even after taking office, he has a lot of respect for Old Master Su.

Grandpa Su has three sons, the eldest son Su Zhen, the second son Su Yang, and the youngest son Su Tuo.Both the eldest son and the youngest son were descendants of the old lady Tan's family, while the second son was born of his aunt He's family.Su Xi's father is Su Zhen, the great lord of the Su Manor. He is thirty-nine this year and is about to reach his forty years. He is currently serving as the Minister of War in the court.Su Xi also has two older brothers who are direct relatives, one is Su Li and the other is Su Zhi, both are martial arts practitioners.

Originally, all the members of the Su family were warriors, and even if the daughters they raised were not big and thick, they were very likely to be careless and careless.But Su Xi was not.

Su Xi's appearance did not follow that of Grand Master Su, but that of her mother, Yin's family. She was born cute as Yuxue, with red lips and white teeth.But at the age of ten, he can already see the beauty of the city in the future.In addition, mother-in-law Yin was the daughter of Yin Zhouxing, the chief minister of the cabinet, and one of the most famous talented women in Beijing at that time. Yin was not only born beautiful, but also paid more attention to appearance. Naturally, she couldn't stand her daughter dancing swords and sticks like men.

Therefore, as soon as Su Xi was born, Yin took her by her side to raise her. She was pampered with fine clothes, fine food, and delicacies. She was afraid that she would learn half of her husband or son's Lu man's aura, so Su Xi was raised. Jubilee's current temperament.

Ting He thought of Su Xi's dimpled appearance when he smiled, and sighed in his heart, with such an appearance and soft temperament, it's no wonder that the Elder Master and Elder Madam look like eyeballs.Even those two unapproachable uncles and second masters doted on this younger sister and took great care of her.

Tinghe exited the Nuan Pavilion, walked to the small kitchen, and said to Cuizhu, the little girl who was watching the fire inside: "The whitebait soup continues to be warmed. After evening, if the girl still doesn't eat it, just pour it out."

Seeing Tinghe coming, Cuizhu stood up and said, "Sister Tinghe, don't worry, leave it to me."

Listening to the crane nodded, during the period, I went into the room to ask Su Xi twice, Su Xi shook her head and said she would not eat.

Ting He looked at Su Xi's face with a little baby fat, and felt a little confused. Ting He thought that a little girl should be round and round to look good, and a round pearl is a symbol of good luck.The girl in her family didn't know what happened. Since she woke up a while ago, she has been saving money, restraining her diet every day, and even seldom eats her favorite eight-treasure candy.

The round apple face in the past has become thinner, revealing a sharp and delicate chin.Although it is still good-looking, Tinghe feels sorry for Su Xi, so he doesn't quite agree with this kind of behavior.

Little did they know that Su Xi was a person who had experienced the past. In her previous life, she just didn't control her mouth. She was greedy and lazy.Girls who were round when they were young could still be called cute, but if they were still round when they grew up, it would be really ugly.

Su Xi thought of the ridicule she had received before, and pursed her lips silently. This time, she no longer wanted to be pointed at her nose and said, "You just wasted this face for nothing".

When the Yin family came over, both Tinghe and Tingyan were driven out by Su Xi and stood under the porch.

Ting He and Ting Yan bowed their knees and said, "Ma'am."

Yin Shi glanced at the inner room, the beaded curtains were tightly closed, so she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.Yin asked, "Why don't you wait inside, what are you doing here?"

Listening to He lowered his head, looking helpless, he said: "Miss, you don't allow slaves to wait on you inside." As he spoke, he brought up the matter of Su Xi's refusal to eat at noon today.

Yin's Dai Mei frowned slightly, and asked: "Miss doesn't eat, can you persuade me?"

Ting He said: "Persuasion, the girl won't listen to us."

Yin Shi didn't say anything, and walked into the room.

Yin pushed aside the pearl curtain of the necklace and called out, "Young and young."

At the same time, Su Xi was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, looking at the little girl in the mirror.With a round face and chubby cheeks, Su Xi sighed a long time, stood up, looked left and right in the mirror, lowered her head and pinched the flesh on her stomach, and frowned in distress .She is still young at the moment, and a little flesh is nothing, but she knows in her heart that if she doesn't control it, in two or three years, she will become a big fat man!

In fact, it's okay to be fat, just like her previous life, just live happily.

But Su Xi was provoked by someone, and that person was Fu Yi, the eldest daughter of Duke Qing's mansion who had been competing with her.

Fu Yi is a noble lady with both talent and beauty in the eyes of the world, and she is also the object of admiration for countless talented people in the capital city.

In her previous life, Su Xi married Li Yan, the eldest son of the Luyang Marquis Mansion, and this marriage was considered a high priority in the Luyang Marquis Mansion, but Li Yan only had Fu Yi in his heart, and even after two years of marriage, he never touched Su Xi.Su Xi was spoiled by her family, and she was squeamish in her bones, how could she bear this kind of grievance?

Forget it, but Fu Yi stepped on her most painful place. The sentence "Waste this face for nothing" just now came from Fu Yi's mouth.If it was about other things, Su Xi didn't think she would lose too badly, but Su Xi couldn't argue with the only thing about weight.

"Youyou?" Yin called again.

Su Xi came back to her senses, and when she saw Yin Shi, she put down her hand pinching her stomach embarrassingly. Seeing that Yin Shi had no other reaction, she called "Mother" sweetly.

Su Xi is the only daughter of the big house and the youngest girl in the Su family. When she was just born, the Yin family gave her a nickname "Youyou".

Yin went to Luo Hantao and sat down, and asked, "I heard the servant girl said that you don't want to eat?"

Su Xi's heart is not good, whenever Yin looks at her with such cool eyes, it is a symbol of unhesitating mood.Su Xi hurriedly sat beside Yin Shi, and looked at Yin Shi with a smile: "Mother, don't listen to their nonsense, today is my birthday, how can I not eat?"

With a face of "don't fool me", Yin poked Su Xi's forehead with her finger: "You also know that it's my birthday today, so it's so annoying. I'm starving my body, and I want to make someone feel better." ?”

Su Xi moved back, covered her forehead, pouted and said, "As for being hungry, I used to eat too much, and now you will make a fuss if I eat less..."

Yin asked slowly, "You still dare to be stubborn?"

Su Xi hurriedly shut her mouth tightly, and shook her head like a rattle: "My daughter dare not."

The Yin family wanted to let Tinghe go to the kitchen to cook something, but when he looked at the sky outside, it was almost You o'clock, and the family banquet was only half an hour away, so he didn't force Su Xi to eat anymore.She said: "The old lady was talking about you yesterday, saying that you didn't see her for a few days. She misses you. After the family dinner starts, you talk to the old lady."

Who doesn't know that Mrs. Tan, the old lady of the Su family, likes this granddaughter the most.

Su Xi nodded obediently.

After sitting for a while, Yin was called away by the person in the room.Today is New Year's Eve, and Yin's family is the wife of the clan, she has to intervene in many things, and she is too busy to touch the ground.Even to see Su Xi, it was hard to find time.

Not long after the Yin family left, Su Xi tidied up a bit and was about to go to the front hall.

Hearing Lu walk in from the outside, he said with a happy face: "Miss, the second master has sent a letter from the border, and asked someone to bring you a birthday present."
