Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 12 This little girl seems to have a kind of hostility towards him?
Su Xi remembered that Li Yan's mother was the daughter of Qing Guogong Fu Hongsheng, and Li Yan was Fu Yi's legitimate cousin.

Although he is a cousin, most of the girls in this backyard are not yet out of the cabinet. It is not appropriate for Li Yan to appear at this time, right?
Tang Wan naturally saw it too, and asked deliberately: "Sister Yu, do you think we came at a bad time?"

Yu Baotong was two years older than her, and he was well-behaved. He cast a glance at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Miss Fu is a sensible person."

Not far away, these words were naturally heard by the two people in the corridor.Embarrassment flashed across Fu Yi's face, she turned around, and smiled slightly at Yu Baotong and the others: "Sister Yu, Sister Tang, Sister Xi, you are also here."

Yu Baotong said politely: "It's windy in the yard, so we want to go back to sit in the house. Miss Fu is..."

Fu Yi didn't speak. Li Yan, who was on the opposite side, bowed to the little girls, and explained without changing his face: "My clothes are wet with wine, and Mr. Su asked my servants to bring me to change clothes. I just happened to meet the girl who fell off the table. After taking off the handkerchief, I helped her pick it up."

These words are so reasonable that no one can find anything wrong with them.It was indeed such a coincidence that Fu Yi's handkerchief was blown by the wind and fell at Li Yan's feet, and this was the scene that Su Xi and the others saw first.It's just that Li Yan didn't say that when he returned the handkerchief to Fu Yi, he should have left just like that, but stopped.

Tang Wan and Yu Baotong couldn't tell, but Su Xi had been with Li Yan under the same roof for more than two years, and was quite familiar with his every move. Li Yan couldn't escape the admiration in Li Yan's eyes when he looked at Fu Yi. Su Xi's eyes.

When Li Yan looked at her, he never had such an expression.Su Xi's mood at this moment was actually very calm, neither angry nor angry, the only remaining turmoil was probably the feeling of anger that Li Yan had cheated on her.

Su Xi looked away, and said softly to Tang Wan and Yu Baotong: "Sister Tang, sister Yu, let's go back quickly."

The little girl's voice was soft and delicate, as if she was covered with honey, it sounded both coquettish and complaining, and with Su Xi's half-year-old age, she was really indescribably innocent and naive.

Yu Baotong poked her round face, the little girl's skin was tender and smooth, "Look, you're in a hurry."

Su Xi said: "If you don't leave, the banquet will be over."

Li Yan hesitated slightly.

Su Xi's words didn't sound like any meaning, just a simple sentence, but to Li Yan's ears, it seemed to remind him to go back to the front yard.Only then did Li Yan realize that he had broken the rules, and he clasped his fists at Fu Yi and Su Xi, "For disturbing the girls to enjoy the scenery, Li will leave."

When he turned to leave, Li Yan glanced at the little girl in the water pink embroidered butterfly ruyi pattern blouse and Yuebai Lake skirt. She was white, tender and round, with big eyes, which made people think of the little boy under the seat of Guanyin. female.It's just that she didn't glance at him. For some reason, Li Yan felt that the little girl seemed to be hostile to him?
Li Yan thought about it, it should be impossible, they met for the first time today.

This thought just passed by for a moment, and was quickly forgotten by him.

Back in the upper room, several wives of aristocratic families sat in a row of red sandalwood rose chairs below, talking with Mrs. Su.

Seeing that the girls had all returned, Mrs. Su asked Nanny Li to tidy up the side room behind the twelve screens, and led them to sit behind the screen.As soon as the girls in this room were seated, someone from the other room came in and said, "Mrs. Tai, Prince Jin's son is coming to congratulate you on your birthday."

The old lady hurriedly stood up and said, "Please come in quickly."

The son of King Jin came to celebrate the old lady's birthday, which represented the attitude of King Jin. No matter how the Su family got the favor, they would not dare to neglect the descendants of the royal family.As soon as Wei Yan entered the door, the old lady led several daughters-in-law to salute. How could Wei Yan really let her salute, so he stretched out his hand to support her and said, "The old lady is out, Ting Zhou is here to celebrate your birthday today. , I hope the old lady will prolong the new day and celebrate her birthday without boundaries."

As he spoke, he asked the follower in the black blue shirt behind him to present a congratulatory gift, which was a square box inlaid with mother-of-pearl carvings of blessings, prosperity and longevity.

The old lady invited Wei Yan to take a seat, and she offered Madam Li a cup of hot tea, and said with emotion: "The prince just came back from Qizhou, and he still remembers me as an old woman. The prince has a heart." Then he said: "I heard that Qizhou The place is humid and rainy, I wonder if the son can get used to living there?"

Wei Feng just smiled, and objectively said: "Qizhou is a place with beautiful scenery, the old lady can go and see it when she has time."

Here the old lady chatted with Wei Yan about the daily life, but the girls behind the screen were not calm.

It has long been heard that Prince Jin's son has returned to Shangjing, but he has no chance to see him, and even if he does, he will take a look from a distance. You can see clearly any pattern.

Su Xi and Tang Wan had met each other before, so they gave up their seats to other girls. Yu Baotong didn't have any feelings for Wei Yan, so he also sat aside.

On the contrary, there were several girls who wanted to see but were embarrassed to look at them, with shy and timid faces, and occasionally glanced outside through the gap in the screen. As soon as their eyes fell on Wei Feng, they hurriedly moved away again, for fear of being discovered. of.Yin Qiqi is also one of them. After looking at her for several times, her younger sister Yin Pengpeng rolled her eyes and asked, "Sister, this Prince Jin's son is really good-looking and talented. I don't know what he will marry in the future." What kind of girl?"

Yin Qiqi blushed, "How do I know?"

Yin Pengpeng said with a smile: "Sister is also beautiful, and also familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, I think you are very suitable..."

These words were really bold, Yin Qiqi hurriedly covered her mouth, and said in shame and annoyance: "Stop talking nonsense."

Yin Pengpeng was about the same age as Su Xi, and she was a quirky girl with a slightly more lively temper than Yin Qiqi.

They spoke in a low voice, almost whispering in their ears. There were too many chattering voices around them, so they didn't attract attention.Sitting next to them, Su Xi listened to these words by coincidence, thinking wildly, Yin Pengpeng was right, Yin Qiqi almost married Wei Wei in her previous life.If Yin Qiqi hadn't died, she seemed to be a good match for Wei Feng.

After a while, Wei Yan stood up and said goodbye.

The old lady sent him outside the door, and suddenly said: "Hey, why did Yi girl come back so soon?"

Fu Yi's voice sounded from outside, soft and soft, sounding very comfortable: "Going back to the old lady, on the way back, I saw a lily lily blooming in the yard, so I wanted to pick it and give it to the old lady. He Yannian."

The old lady Su seemed to be in a good mood, took the daylilies and said, "You girl, you have a heart." After all, we met at the door, and the old lady introduced to Wei Wei: "My son, this is the grandson of Duke Qing. daughter."

Wei Feng nodded and said, "Miss Fu."

Fu Yi bent her knees, "I have seen Prince Wei."

Inside the house, Su Xi noticed that Fu Yi hadn't come back with them. When she ran into her on the porch just now, she thought Fu Yi had come back too.She disappeared for so long just to pick a day lily?

The face of Yin Qiqi on the opposite side changed, and she secretly pinched the handkerchief in her hand, the shyness on her face was gone long ago, turning green and white at times.

Seeing this, Su Xi suddenly understood and figured it out.

Fu Yi... didn't she choose this time to come back on purpose?
After the family banquet, Yin and the old lady sent off a group of female relatives.

In the evening, Su Xi kicked the shuttlecock as usual for two quarters of an hour, and practiced a few more sets of movements. After taking a bath, she remembered what Yu Baotong had said during the day, so she wanted to go to Qiutangju to ask Mrs. Yin about the female master.Before he went out, he saw Su Baiyu running towards him impatiently, his usually stern and mature face showed a little excitement.

Nanny Cui shouted nervously from behind: "Young master, slow down and fall carefully..."

Su Baiyu quickly ran up to Su Xi, raised the object in his hand, and said with bright eyes, "I will."

The thing in Su Baiyu's hand is called "Luban Chain Lock". This lock was designed by Su Xi based on other Luban locks. He had nothing to do in his free time. He took it to test Su Baiyu the morning before yesterday. He heard from his elder brother that he had been locked in the house for the past two days. While fiddling with this, Su Xi thought it would take him a few more days to figure it out, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.

Su Baiyu sat on the Luohantai opposite Su Xi, and the chubby hand flexibly untied the first wooden strip, one after another, and quickly removed all the chain locks.This step is easy, and almost anyone can do it, but then it is not so easy to assemble all the wooden sticks back to their original shape.Su Xi watched intently. When Su Baiyu said he would, she believed that he would. After all, she had seen the early wisdom of this little guy before, but she didn't expect that he would have all of them in less than a cup of tea. It's ready.

Su Xi blinked in astonishment, faster than she expected, she was about to praise Su Baiyu, but he honestly admitted: "Auntie, I didn't think of this method."

not him?Su Xi asked, "Who is that?"

Su Baiyu said: "It was a brother who taught me how to unlock it." The little guy thought of his handsome brother in the daytime and paused, not knowing whether he should say, "He also asked me who designed this lock... I said it was my aunt."
