Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 10
Wei Yan's eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes shifted to the bookshelf beside him: "Who's there?"

It's no wonder that Wei Feng asked questions without warning. It would be fine if Su Xi just went about her own business as if nothing had happened. However, when Wei Feng came down, she stood there like a frightened bird. Those who didn't know thought she was guilty and let It is difficult for people to forget.In addition to the scriptures, there are many cultural and historical treasures and orphaned books in this Sutra Pavilion. Although there are monks guarding inside and outside, there is no guarantee that no one will break into it.

Wei Yan looked at the last row of beech bookshelves, where there was no sound.

After a while, a dawdling figure came out from inside.Su Xi lowered her head and called, "Cousin Tingzhou."

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, obviously he did not expect that "Xiao Xiaozhi" would be a little girl.He looked at Su Xi in front of him, and it happened that a ray of sunlight from the skylight fell on her head, according to which round, white and tender face looked like a jade doll, because of drooping eyes, the thick eyelashes cast a circle of shadows on the porcelain white face , It was a little too white, making people wonder if she was transparent.

Wei Wei thought of the little girl who was a cat under the tree that day, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that sister Xi was here."

Su Xi raised her eyes to look at Wei Feng, and seeing that there was no other emotion on his face, her expression relaxed as well.Originally, she and Wei Yan had nothing against each other, and the reason why she felt embarrassed was entirely because of the "Jade Jade Bean Cake" incident when she was a child.Su Xi thought that she could give up her favorite emerald jade bean cake to Wei Feng, and she couldn't be more friendly, but Wei Feng not only didn't answer, but also showed that kind of dislike, which hurt her deeply young heart.It was only when she saw that Wei Yan's attitude was very frank and there was nothing wrong with the last two meetings. She must have forgotten about it long ago, so she was relieved.

Thinking of this, Su Xi's attitude became calmer, and she took the initiative to say: "I heard that the Sutra Pavilion in Mingjue Temple has collected many famous books, so I wanted to borrow a few. Did Cousin Ting Zhou also come to borrow books?"

Wei Yan thought for a while, and although it wasn't what Su Xi guessed, he still nodded. "What book do you want to borrow?"

Su Xi spoke honestly, and seeing that Wei Feng had no intention of leaving, she said without words: "Cousin came down from upstairs, can you see a stool or something? This bookshelf is too high, I can't reach it " Su Xixian just looked around, except for bookshelves or bookshelves, not to mention stools, there is not even anything to stand on.

Wei Wei looked at Su Xi, the little girl was still young, only half the height of the bookshelf, no wonder she couldn't reach it.He stepped forward and asked directly, "Which book do you want to take?"

Su Xi was quite flattered. According to the experience of the last two times, Wei Yan should stand by and ignore him this time.But now that Wei Yan opened his mouth, Su Xi absolutely had no reason to refuse. She raised her finger and pointed to the "Biography of Ming Ji" on the top shelf of the bookshelf, and said, "It's the one in the middle."

Wei Feng is seventeen this year, tall and tall, and Su Xi can't even reach his chest. He stretched out his long arms and easily took down the book that he had had enough for a long time.Wei Yan asked, "Is this the book?"

Su Xi nodded, thinking that he was ready to thank him because he wanted to give it to her, but she stared at him for a long time, but she didn't see Wei Feng making any next move. "...Cousin Tingzhou?"

Wei Yan lowered his eyes and met Su Xi's big bright and moist eyes. These eyes were round and bright, like a lake full of stars, bright and eye-catching. Looking at where her pink cheeks rubbed against, It was covered with a thin layer of dust, she didn't know it, and she had been dealing with him for so long with a cat face, which was cute and ridiculous.With a slight smile on the corner of Wei Yan's mouth, he took out a white lake silk sweat towel from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Wipe your face first."

Su Xi was baffled, why did she wipe her face without giving her a book at this time?Although puzzled, she still picked it up. Su Xi wiped her left cheek twice and asked, "Is there anything on my face?"

Wei Yan shook his head, "The right cheek."

Su Xi had no choice but to change the side and wipe it again. Wei Yan's sweat towel had a clear and aloof fragrance. After wiping it, it was covered with a layer of dust. Her words froze, and she finally understood what he meant by this move.It should be the ashes that were knocked off when picking up the book just now, so Wei Yan has seen it a long time ago, but waited until now to remind her?

Su Xi pinched the sweat towel and thought with some relief, at least Wei Shizi reminded her and didn't let her go out to make a fool of herself.

But the next moment, Su Xi didn't think so.

Wei Wei handed her the "Ming Ji Tie", and when she stretched out her hand to take it, he asked casually, "Does the little girl still like to eat emerald jade bean cake?"

Su Xi blinked, then blinked again, staring at Wei Wei in a daze.

When she came back to her senses, Wei Feng had already taken back her sweat towel and walked out of the scripture pavilion.

Wei Feng came to Mingjue Temple today to see Abbot Mingkong, after talking with Abbot Mingkong, seeing that it was still early, he went to the Buddhist scripture pavilion.The little novice at the door knew Wei Wei, so he didn't stop him. He read a book upstairs for a while, and when he went downstairs, he heard someone gasped slightly. His hearing was sharp, so the sound naturally didn't escape his ears.

Wei Yan didn't expect that person to be Su Xi, he really didn't remember Su Xi.

What happened seven or eight years ago was another extremely common encounter, Wei Yan didn't take it to heart at all.It's just that when Su Xi looked at him eagerly with those shining eyes, he suddenly felt a little familiar, and when he thought about it carefully, he remembered the dumpling that broke the flowerpot back then.It's the same kind of eyes, with a bit of flattery and anxiety, calling him "brother" in a sweet voice, and bribing him with half-eaten, saliva-stained pastries.

She is a greedy little girl.

Yin put the peace talisman she had asked for in a sachet with eight golden treasures, and gave one to Su Xi, "Xiaoyou, have you found the book you want?"

Su Xi nodded, "The Legend of Ming Ji" she let Ting Yan put into the carriage.

After saying goodbye to Abbot Ming Kong, the Yin family walked out of the gate of Mingjue Temple, and saw that Su Xi looked strange. Since returning from the Sutra Pavilion, he had been absent-minded and his face was not very good.Mrs. Yin called Ting Yan to inquire, but Ting Yan didn't know what was going on, and said: "Return to Madam, Master Huijing doesn't let slaves enter the scripture storage pavilion, only the girl is allowed to go in alone. The slave waited outside for half an hour. Miss That's how it came out."

Seeing that Ting Yan couldn't ask anything, Yin frowned slightly, and was about to ask Su Xi directly, but saw a person coming out from a side door not far away, looking at him from a distance, with a handsome appearance, Zhilan Yushu.It was only when people came to him that Yin Shi could see his appearance clearly, and when he was surprised, he bent his knees and said, "Wei Shizi."

Ever since King Jin returned to Beijing with his family, the Yin family only saw the face of Princess Yuan, the princess of Jin, and never met the eldest son Wei Fen, but Wei Fen and his father, King Jin, looked alike. Nian had met King Jin, and with Wei Feng's demeanor and Rong Zhi's presence, it was difficult for people to guess his identity.

Wei Wei's biological mother and the eldest wife of the Governor's Mansion are sisters from the same family, both from the Xue family in Huai'an. According to seniority, Wei Wei should be called Yin's aunt, but Wei Wei is the eldest son of the Jin Palace after all, and the relationship is a little bit Eryuan, so at this time he only needs to call Yin's "Madam".Wei Wei helped Yin Shi up, with a smile on his lips, and an easy-going attitude, "Madam Su, please, I don't know that Madam is also here, otherwise Tingzhou should go to visit Madam."

Yin said: "Your Majesty's words are serious. The minister's wife just brought the little girl to ask for a few peace talismans. She is about to go back now." Then, thinking of Su Xi, she hurriedly called Su Xi to her, "Young, come here. I have met Prince Jin's son."

Su Xi pursed her lips, she had collected her emotions at this time, and said frankly, "Mother, I have already met Prince Wei."

Yin asked suspiciously, "Oh, when?"

Naturally, Su Xi wouldn't say it was the Sutra Pavilion, and just said: "In the second grandfather's governor's mansion, the big brother was also there." With the big big brother there, she and Wei Yan did not meet privately, let alone she was more important than Wei Yan. It's so small, most people don't think about it.This can not only explain that she met Wei Feng, but also prove that there is nothing between them.

Wei Wei smiled, this little girl was smarter and calmer than he imagined, "Sister Xi is right, we have seen it before."

Su Xi looked at Wei Feng, but didn't say a word. She didn't know whether Wei Feng's words meant the literal meaning, or had some deep meaning.

When Wei Feng said that sentence in the Sutra Pavilion, Su Xi was sure that he remembered him, but what did he mean by saying it?Su Xi felt ashamed, Wei Feng must have laughed at her on purpose, what does it have to do with him whether she likes to eat green jade bean cake?Anyway, I won't give him to eat.
