Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 121
After more than four months, Su Xi's belly began to show.Her slender waist protruded into a rounded curve. She was born slender with a small frame, which could only be seen when she stood in front of the mirror wearing a thin spring shirt.She usually wears a blouse over her head, and she still looks like a fifteen or six-year-old girl who doesn't know much about the world, tender and delicate.

Su Xi's morning sickness was better than before, and she stopped throwing up whatever she ate.I really like to eat sour ones, especially sour plums and sour plums that are green and astringent.However, it was not the season when the fruits were ripe, so Wei Yan asked someone to spend a lot of money to buy fresh apricots and plums from the south of the Lianghuai River, and let her eat whatever she wanted every day.

Listening to the geese washed and served, Su Xi could eat half a plate of green plums by himself.She didn't like sour food very much before, but since she became pregnant, for some reason, she became very fond of sour food.So much so that after Wei Yan kissed her, he couldn't help frowning exaggeratedly, and said, "It's so sour."

Su Xi turned her head and said to Qiao, "Then don't kiss."

"That can't be done." Wei Yan smiled, pinching her little chin as he spoke, and lowered his head to bite her pink lips again.

In a few days, the spring hunting is over, and Emperor Zhaoyuan will return from the northwest paddock.In the past few days, Wei Yan rarely had time, so he stayed at home with Su Xi.

Over there, Wei Zhaozhao wanted to marry Lu Jianghuai wholeheartedly, and later talked about the Yuan family and went to see several marriages for her, but she refused to nod.Talking about Yuan Shi having nothing to do with her, he no longer cared about her, and went back to Qingzhou by himself.

Wei Zhaozhao did not know where he heard about Su Xi's relationship with Lu Jianghuai before he got married. The Lu family had proposed marriage to the Su family, but for some unknown reason, the marriage did not come to fruition.She thought it must be because of Su Xi, the Lu family came up with various reasons to prevaricate her in order to avoid embarrassment.She hated Su Xi already, but now she hated Su Xi even more.

Wei Zhaozhao made up Su Xi behind her, saying that she was "unreserved, flirtatious, entangled with men before marriage".

The people below are all good at learning words, and they will even spread more and more outrageously.When these words reached Su Xi's ears, they were already unbearable.

Ting Li finished speaking tremblingly, and said with red eyes: "Miss, how can Second Miss say that about you..."

The Yuan family went to Jingyuan Nunnery, and Su Xi never treated her badly after taking charge of the family.How could she say such a thing.

Su Xi pursed her pink lips tightly, and asked, "Who are the people who spread these words?"

Ting Li said: "It's a few maidservants from Qiu Tang's residence, who served Princess Yuan before."

Su Xi remained silent for a long time.She rarely showed anger, but this time she was really angry.She said, "Call them all over."

In this study, Li Hong also reported the matter to Wei Feng.Seeing that Wei Yan's face darkened, he said expressionlessly, "What else has been passed on?"

Li Hong hesitated for a moment, then said: "...there are still some words that are too harsh, it doesn't matter if the son doesn't listen."

Wei Yan put down the tortoiseshell Xuan pen, his eyebrows were lowered, as if a layer of chill had been quenched.After a while, he said: "Does Youyou know?"

Li Hongdao: "The villain just met Miss Tingli, seeing her haste, I must have already told Madam."

"How far have these words spread?" Wei Yan asked.

Li Hongdao: "It's just a few servants from Qiutangju talking about it, and it hasn't spread outside."

Wei Wei stood up, pondered for a moment and said: "Second girl has no dignity and lacks etiquette. Prepare a carriage and let her go to Jingyuan Nunnery to cultivate her self-cultivation with Yuan Shi. Don't come back without my order."

He walked to the door and thought of Su Xi's expression after hearing these words. That girl is a little old-fashioned, and she values ​​her reputation the most. She doesn't know how angry she will be when she makes such a fuss.He frowned coldly, and wrote lightly: "Find out all the servants who gossip, and since you can't control your mouth, sew them up one by one with a needle and thread."

So before Su Xi saw those servants, he heard that Wei Yan had sent them all away.

That night, the second girl, Wei Zhaozhao, was "sent" into Jingyuan Nunnery to be company with Yuan Shi.

The day after tomorrow is the day when Emperor Zhaoyuan returns to Beijing.

In Prince Yu's mansion, Fu Yi received news from Wei Yuan that he would not be home until the evening of the next day.Fu Yi, like Su Xi, was unable to travel long distances because she was pregnant, so she stayed in the mansion.The other two side rooms went together.

Only she and Concubine Yu were left in Prince Yu's mansion, and they suddenly became colder.Apart from going to the main hall to pay her respects every day, she stayed in Baoxiang Zhai for other times, which was quite boring.Since Wei Yuan almost found out about her and Li Yan last time, he rarely came to see her.Sometimes Fu Yi herself feels that her whole life will be wasted here. What could be more tragic than this?It's not that she likes Wei Yuan so much... It's just that women always want to be loved by their husbands, not to mention that she was used to being loved and loved by her husband before she got married.

Now the gap is too big, it is always unbearable.

Fu Yi sat in front of the red sandalwood dresser, looking at herself in the mirror.Eyebrows like distant black, eyes dotted with lacquer, red lips like red, clearly at the right age for Fanghua, but unfortunately no one appreciates it.

There was a slight movement from the sill window behind him.It wasn't very obvious, like it was blown by the wind, but Fu Yi heard it.She paused with the hand holding the ivory comb, glanced at the maid behind her, and said briefly: "You don't need to serve here, you all go out. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

Fu Yi sleeps lightly, and doesn't like to be served by someone when she sleeps. The maids are already used to it, so they didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so they responded and left.

After everyone in the room retreated, Fu Yi closed the Linghua door, went back to the dressing table and removed her hair full of jewels, and continued to comb her black hair as if nothing had happened.

The sill window was pushed open from the outside, and then a heavy object fell to the ground. The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped behind Fu Yi.Li Yan's voice sounded from behind: "Last time I heard you said that you wanted to eat Yuhelou's crabapple crisps, this time I bought some, do you want to try it?"

Without looking back, Fu Yi said softly, "Put it on the table, I can't eat it right now. Don't forget to take it away when you leave later, lest my maid see it and I can't explain it. "After combing her hair, she turned around and looked at Li Yan. Her long hair was winding, elegant and beautiful, and her skin that had just taken a bath had a layer of desolate whiteness.Wearing an ivory long gown, her belly bulges slightly, adding a bit of maternal softness.

Only then did Fu Yi see that Li Yan's clothes and hair were all wet, she was slightly taken aback, and said, "Is it raining outside?"

Li Yan nodded, and the raindrops slid down his resolute chin and landed on the floor. After a while, a puddle of water accumulated on the ground.Fu Yi frowned lightly, worried that someone would see the clues, so she took a towel from the side, handed it to him, and said, "Wipe your body quickly, it's raining so hard, what are you doing here?"

Li Yan took it and fixedly looked at her.Did not speak.

Fu Yi knew what he meant.A while ago, he sent someone to deliver a letter, asking her to meet at Daci Temple. Wei Yuan was still at the residence at that time, so she naturally didn't go.She escaped with great difficulty, and if Wei Yuan finds out about something again, she will not be able to make it through.She turned around, walked into the inner room and said, "Wei Yuan almost found out about us. If I don't speak up in the future, don't come to me casually."

As he said that, he walked back to the couch, and while putting down the golden gauze curtain on the golden hook, he said, "Go back when the rain stops, and don't be discovered. Wei Yuan will return to Beijing in the future, so be careful." Some, don't let him see anything, he..."

Before she finished speaking, a hard chest pressed against her, and immediately after that, she was tightly bound by a pair of arms.Li Yan's voice was above his head, with a damp atmosphere, like the continuous rain outside, he said hoarsely: "Fu Yi, what do you mean?"

His hand was so strong that it hurt Fu Yi's waist.Fu Yi tried to break his hand, but failed, she whispered: "What are you doing?"

Fortunately, there was a lot of rain outside, and with the lightning and thunder, the voices of the two of them became less obvious.

Li Yan was silent for a long time, and finally said what he had been planning for a long time: "...If Wei Yuan treats you badly, you might as well make peace with him, and I will marry you."

Fu Yi suddenly stopped struggling, and after a long time, she didn't say a word.

Li Yan waited for her answer, but after an unknown amount of time, she still didn't speak.His heart sank to the bottom, and he knew the answer.The family background of Luyang Hou's Mansion is not as good as Yu Wang's Mansion, so he can't give her what she wants.She would rather spend the rest of her life depressed in this place than leave the cage made of gold threads.

What's more, Wei Yuan has a chance to be crowned the Great Treasure. By then, she will be the queen of gold and jade. How can she let go of the powerful and powerful?

Li Yan's hand holding her seemed to be worth a thousand gold.

Fu Yi took advantage of the situation and opened Li Yan's hand, with a smile on his lips, whether it was ridicule or joy from the bottom of his heart. "I already have Wei Yuan's child, you still want to marry me?"

She stood in front of him with a graceful figure, her slightly protruding waist not only did not deprive her of beauty, but added a bit of charm, her smile was faint, and her voice was soft, like the temptation of a demon whispering softly in the ear.Li Yan stared at her blankly, perhaps because she knew the answer and couldn't get it, she wanted it even more.Without warning, he picked her up horizontally, put her down on the bed, and covered her body.

Fu Yi didn't resist.

The sound of rain continued outside the house. Accompanied by bursts of thunder, the dome roared. The rain was stronger than before, as if it was going to make a hole in the sky.

The two of them overlapped each other on the bed, their breathing was heavy and ambiguous.

Outside Prince Yu's mansion, one person and one rider drove out of the night and stopped at the door.

Wei Yuan got off his horse, took off his bamboo hat, and revealed a stern face.
