Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 112 New Year's Eve
Wei Yuan came here because of the corruption case decades ago.It was said that the grandfather of one of his subordinates had been wronged, and the person who wronged him was the well-known Shangshu Youpushe, an official of the imperial court. Wei Yuan specially came to ask Wei Wei to reverse the case for his subordinates.

Wei Yuan is shrewd and capable, and never accepts anyone with unknown origins under his command. Besides, the minister You Pushe has been dedicated and upright all his life. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Emperor Zhao Yuan only gave Wei Wei a month. There are only seven or eight days left, once Wei Feng intervenes in this matter, the process will be delayed.

Wei Yan asked Wei Yuan to bring his subordinate here, and he personally interrogated some situations, but Wei Yuan said that the man went to Yuzhou for business, and he would not be able to return for a while, and he would not be able to return until next month at the earliest.

At that time, the deadline given by Emperor Zhaoyuan had passed.

This is purely confusing.Wei Yan curled the corners of his mouth as if nothing had happened, and said, "There is no witness, no physical evidence, why does my cousin think I can do this?"

Wei Yuan said with a smile: "Didn't your Majesty praise you for your scriptures and martial arts, and your outstanding abilities? How can such a trivial matter be so rare that you can defeat Tingzhou's cousin?"

Wei Yan just smiled and said nothing, neither agreeing nor saying no.

This Wei Yuan wanted to say something, but Wei Yan stopped in his tracks.He stopped and looked forward, only to see a girl in a red phoenix embroidered with a peony pattern standing on the porch, she was graceful, with a piece of snow behind her, the red dress and the white snow lined her cheeks Whiter than snow, thin and flexible, it seems like a fairy girl who has accidentally fallen into the mortal world. With a light touch, she will disperse and melt.

She was holding a ball of fluffy things in her arms, and for some reason she suddenly yelled, which brought Wei Yuan back to his sanity.

Su Xi didn't expect Wei Yuan to be here, she originally wanted to show the little fox to Wei Feng.He froze for a moment, then bowed to Wei Yuan, and said, "Your Prince Yu."

Hearing her voice, Wei Yuan was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the Luhua Garden of Princess Shouchang three years ago.She stood under the peach blossom tree, and sat on the rockery gazebo by herself, looking at her figure, she was still as beautiful as three years ago, but she was less youthful, more feminine, and her voice was more mellow. It's the sweetness of a little girl, such contradictions are not surprising.

Wei Yuan did not respond for a long time.Wei Yan's brows were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Young, I've run out of ink in my study, you can grind some more ink for me."

Su Xizheng was worried that she had no excuse to leave, after all, Wei Yuan's gaze was so straightforward that people couldn't even ignore it.She nodded and said good, and carried the little fox into the study.

Outside, Wei Yan sent Wei Yuan out of the door. Not long after, Doctor Zhou came in with a medicine box. He first checked the little fox's hind legs, and then washed its wound with medicinal wine.Xu thought it was in pain, so the little fox struggled a few times in Su Xi's arms, but because it had been frozen in the snow for a long time and hadn't eaten for several days, its struggling strength was very weak, and it was nothing to be afraid of.

Soon, Zhou Zhongxian applied medicine to the little fox and bandaged the wound.

Su Xi gently pinched its pointed ears, and asked the doctor, "Is its injury serious? Can it walk in the future?"

Dr. Zhou said: "The injury is a bit serious, and it took a few more days. I'm afraid it won't be easy to heal. If you take good care of it, you can still walk normally in the future. Madam just pay more attention."

Su Xi was relieved now, and asked the doctor if there was anything to pay attention to in terms of diet. The doctor is not a veterinarian, and he doesn't know much about it.He only said: "Animals are different from humans, Madam just need to feed them more meat."

Su Xi nodded, and after seeing off Doctor Zhou, she asked Tinghe to cook a bowl of minced meat soup.

After Wei Yan sent Wei Yuan away and came back, she saw her sitting behind her office desk with a fox in her arms. There was a small sweet white porcelain bowl on the table. She fed the fox little by little with a spoon. drink soup.Looking at the inkstone next to it again, the ink was clean and not sharpened.

Wei Shizi walked to her side, lowered his gaze, and asked, "Where did the fox come from?"

Su Xi raised her head, and only then noticed that he was back, put down the spoon and said, "It's right behind the Merlin I went to today. I saw that it was seriously injured, so I picked it up without authorization..." As she spoke, she remembered what she saw today. After a scene, he paused and considered, "Cousin Tingzhou, there is something I want to tell you."

Su Xi didn't want to tell Wei Feng about this at first, but she looked like a gossip, talking nonsense, but she felt uncomfortable if she didn't say it.In addition, the relationship between Wei Yan and Wei Yuan is tense now, and it might be helpful for him to talk about it himself.

Su Xi sent out all the maids in the study, and Ting Yan carried the little fox to the porch to feed it.Standing by the table, she rubbed the ink stick and said, "Today when I was picking snow with Wei Xin, I saw two people in the back mountain..."

She was embarrassed to speak too carefully, and only said that the two were intimate and spent a long time alone.After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Wei Feng anxiously, "Cousin Tingzhou, do you think there is something wrong with Fu Yi and Mr. Li?"

After Wei Yan listened, he tapped the red sandalwood tabletop with his fingertips, seemingly thinking, "Where do you think they are?"

Su Xi said that place again.

It is very close to the other courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion, but because of the remote location, few people go there.He sneered with thin lips, and said: "These two are bold." After saying that, seeing the girl in front of her with a slightly embarrassed look, she knew that what she saw must be more than that simple. hug?He bent his index finger and flicked Su Xi's forehead, and said, "Silly boy, forget everything you saw, don't think about it. Just tell me about this, don't tell anyone else."

Su Xi covered her forehead and nodded obediently, "I won't talk nonsense."

Originally, he only said to stay in another hospital for three days, but he stayed for several days longer without knowing it.By the time they returned home, it was already four or five days later.Time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and soon the New Year will come, and Su Xi's 16th birthday is approaching.Recently, Wei Yan was busy with the conclusion of the case, and he didn't touch the ground every day. He didn't sit for a long time when he got home, when he was called out again.Sometimes I don't even have time to come back for dinner, and it's already midnight when I come back.He told Su Xi not to wait for him, but Su Xi was disobedient and waited for him to come back every time before eating.

One night when he came back at Haishi, he saw her lying on the round table with embossed lion patterns, and there were dinners in front of her, already dozing off to sleep.Wei Yan's heart ached so badly that no matter how busy he was in the next few days, he would come back as soon as possible to have dinner with Su Xi.

Such hard work always pays off.

After Wei Wei handed over to Emperor Zhaoyuan, because of the beautiful case, he overturned the case of dozens of people who were wronged in the past, and also caught a few fish that slipped through the net.These people are moths of the imperial court. They are usually greedy and corrupt, accepting bribes in private, and have a bad reputation. Now Emperor Zhao Yuan ordered their homes to be ransacked, and the people applauded. The Yanguan also said good things about him.

It is said that Emperor Zhaoyuan will establish a reserve in the spring of the coming year.

The current situation between North Korea and China is very clear.The courtiers all knew that Emperor Zhaoyuan was going to choose someone from Jinwangfu and Yuwangfu, as for Wei Feng or Weiyuan...

This is also what Emperor Zhaoyuan considered.

Wei Yuan acted resolutely, with sophisticated means, and used all means to achieve his goals, but his ability was a little lacking.

Wei Yan has outstanding abilities, gentle and martial arts, but his temperament is too cold and his interests are clear, so he is not suitable for the position of crown prince.

Now the court has been divided into three factions, one is Wei Feng, the other is Wei Yuan supporters, and the other is hoping that Emperor Zhao Yuan and the Empress will give birth to a little prince.It's just that Emperor Zhaoyuan and the empress are both old, not to mention that Emperor Zhaoyuan's body is getting weaker and weaker, and it is almost impossible to regenerate, so most of them belong to the other two factions.

The court was full of turmoil, and Su Xi couldn't feel the tense feeling at home, and she was looking after Xue Qing.

After all, Xueqing has served Wei Feng for more than ten years, so she shouldn't be wronged too much in marriage, otherwise her eating will be too ugly.

Su Xi picked a few families, two of them lived in the capital, one was from Binzhou, and the other was from Hezhou.The one in Binzhou has the best family background, and the other party is well-groomed, and there is a rule in the family that you can only take concubines when you are over [-] years old.Besides, Xueqing's hometown is also in Binzhou, so she is quite familiar with that place, speaking of this marriage, she does not feel wronged at all.

After Su Xi liked it, she took it to ask Wei Feng for his opinion.

"Which family do you think is better?"

Wei Yan glanced roughly, and said casually, "It's all up to you."

Su Xi insisted on asking him to watch, so she pouted and said confidently: "You can't follow me. If Xueqing doesn't marry well in the future, wouldn't it be my fault?"

Wei Yan looked at her with a smile, and knew what was going on in her head. She was worried that she would blame her if she thought of Xueqing Xuezhu in the future.This little fool, how could he be willing to blame her for the two maids?He casually pointed to a family and said: "Just this one, Binzhou is not too far away, if you make a decision, send someone to talk to Xueqing."

Su Xi nodded and said yes, went back and looked again, and called Xueqing to talk about it the next day.

Xueqing is smarter than Xuezhu, when Xuezhu left, she expected this fate for herself.So when Su Xi talked to her, she acted calmly, bent her knees, and said, "Thank you, madam, for your kindness."

A few days later, Su Xi called the family in Binzhou to have a look.The family's surname is Li, and the eldest grandson, Li Chengxian, is tall and slender, with delicate features, and looks like an elegant scholar.The Li family is also a rich and scholarly family in the local area, and the wives they marry are all knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous.

After Madam Li saw Xueqing, although she felt that Xueqing's status was a little low, but the other party was the Jin Palace after all, she couldn't refuse directly, she just said to go back and think about it.

Su Xi expressed her understanding, and politely ordered someone to send them back.After a few more days, the Li family agreed, and came to Prince Jin's mansion again to combine the eight characters and perform the six salutes.

After some procedures, Xueqing's wedding date was set at the end of the twelfth lunar month.

Time is a little rushed.Su Xi admits that this is her selfishness... She wants to marry Xueqing earlier, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

The end of the year came in a blink of an eye, and Xueqing married to Binzhou in a bridal sedan chair.Then came New Year's Eve.
