Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 136 Thank You, Your Majesty, for Your Perfection
"That's right." Wei Feng nodded without evasion.

Emperor Zhaoyuan put down the memorial, leaned on the dragon chair, looked at him far and wide, and did not speak for a long time.

Wei Yan lowered his eyes slightly, not in a hurry.As if two sons were no different from one son to him, he had already made a decision in his heart, and he had promised Su Xi that neither Zhiyan nor Zhiyu would be harmed.

Emperor Zhaoyuan coughed and straight to the point, "You should know that twins are troublesome in the royal family. After I abdicate in the future, if you want to establish a crown prince, only one of these two children will live." He raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Feng, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you made up your mind, which of these two children do you want to keep?"

Wei Yan's face remained unchanged, but his voice lowered, "Both my sons want to keep them."

Seeing Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled, he looked serious for a moment, and said, "I can only let you choose one."

Wei Yan remained silent.The hands in the sleeves were secretly tightened.

Although he didn't get along with Zhiyan Zhiyu in the past month, every time he came back from the outside, Su Xi would ask the nanny to bring the two of them here. Worried that he would be unfamiliar with the children, she asked him to take turns hugging them .Those two little guys were dishonest, and they would often urinate all over him with a "wow" as soon as they opened their mouths. Although he disliked them, they were his sons after all, fresh and immature. What's more, Su Xi liked them and regarded them as baby bumps. It hurts the same.

If anything happened to either of these two children, Su Xi would not accept it, let alone forgive him.

After a long time, Wei Yan still said the same words: "I can't choose, I can't choose. I just want to keep both."

Emperor Zhaoyuan looked at him, got up at last, walked out and said: "I will give you three more days to think about it, and then no matter what, you have to give me an answer. Even if I don't force you, after you ascend the throne, the court will The officials above will also force you to make a choice." After thinking about it at the door, he went to Zhaoyang Hall, "Let's go, accompany me to see your two sons."

When they arrived at Zhaoyang Hall, Zhiyan and Zhiyu had already fallen asleep obediently on the vine-faced arhat bed.

Emperor Zhaoyuan looked over with his hands behind his back, the big Zhiyan looked like Wei Fen with clear eyebrows, and the small Zhiyu had exquisite features, more like Su Xi.Without saying anything, he tucked the two children into their swaddling clothes, and sat in front to talk to the queen.

Su Xi didn't know what the emperor discussed with Wei Feng.Wei Yan seemed to have normal complexion, but she could see his deep depression at a glance.

Emperor Zhaoyuan didn't say anything about naming Zhiyan and Zhiyu, but only chatted a few words about family matters.After having lunch together at noon, Su Xi and Wei Feng bid farewell and left the palace together.

"Cousin Tingzhou, what did His Majesty tell you?" On the way back, Su Xi asked with her head tilted.

Wei Wei held her hand, twirling her fingertips lightly, and said slowly, "Ask me how the city is being built, and also talk about rewarding the soldiers who made great contributions to the suppression of the counter-revolution last time."

Su Xi pursed her lips and reminded: "Didn't you say anything about naming Zhiyan and Zhiyu?"

Wei Wei paused for a moment, then reached out and rubbed her earballs, and said nonchalantly, "Maybe His Majesty forgot, I will ask him next time when I enter the palace."

Su Xi nodded slowly, trying to say something, but in the end she didn't ask.

In the evening, Su Xi personally bathed her two sons.Just after autumn came, the earth dragon was burning in the house, and the two white, tender, bald little guys were gently supported by the maid, and Su Xi wet a soft towel, and wiped them little by little.

Younger brother Zhiyu likes to take a bath, but elder brother Zhiyan doesn't like it, so the two of them grinned silly with a "wow wow" and the other frowned seriously.Su Xi couldn't help but poked Zhiyu's chubby little face, Zhiyu laughed even more cheerfully, and when her lotus root-like calf kicked, her brother Zhiyan's face was splashed.The elder brother finally couldn't take it anymore, cried out with a "wow", and took a mouthful of his younger brother's bath water.

Su Xi quickly picked up Zhiyan from the water, wrapped it in a cotton blanket, and patted his back lightly, "Oh, Zhiyan doesn't cry, the baby doesn't cry. Don't you like taking a bath? If you don't like it, it will get dirty. Mother doesn't like dirty dolls."

Zhiyu over there didn't know what happened, looked up at his brother, then at his mother, and stopped laughing.

Wei Yan stood beside the red sandalwood screen, watching the scene inside, without moving a step for a long time.

Early the next morning, he entered the palace.

Emperor Zhaoyuan sat behind the desk, and after reviewing a memorial, he raised his head to look at him, "I remember that you were not announced into the palace today. What's the matter?"

Wei Yan nodded, "Your Majesty asked me to think about it yesterday, and I have already thought it through."

Emperor Zhaoyuan said "Oh", as if he didn't expect him to think so quickly, and asked in a leisurely manner: "Is that so, have you decided which one to keep? I saw yesterday that your two sons are both good and beautiful, but it is quite difficult to make a decision." of."

Knowing that it was difficult to make a choice, he still threw this question to him.

Wei Yan's brows were indifferent, and his speech was slow, but there was an unshakable persistence. "If you sit on the throne, you can't even keep your own son. I would rather not sit on that seat."

After speaking, there was no sound from the imperial study room.

Emperor Zhaoyuan squeezed the memorial with some strength, his face was dark and unclear.After a long time, he threw the memorial and looked down at Wei Feng, a little helpless and annoyed, "You dare to threaten me?"

Wei Yan said, "I'm just discussing the facts."

Emperor Zhaoyuan stared at him for a while, then waved his hands and said: "Forget it, forget it. When you become the throne in the future, go and talk to those officials yourself, I don't care about it."

Wei Feng's heart relaxed, and he said without changing his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment."

Before leaving, Emperor Zhaoyuan called him to a halt and threw him a brocade pouch embroidered with red satin and gold and silver silk. "Open it and have a look."

Wei Yan unwrapped the kit, took out the paper inside, unfolded it, and found two names inside——

Wei Zhiheng, Wei Zhilu.

Zhiyan and Zhiyu finally had a name, and they were given a jade certificate.The two little guys seemed to have a telepathy, knowing that they had escaped a catastrophe. That night, they were very obedient, neither crying nor fussing. The elder brother quietly gnawed on his little hand, and the younger brother blinked his eyes and neither slept nor moaned. It's ridiculous to be well-behaved.

When Wei Feng came back, Su Xi could see that something was wrong with him.After finally coaxing the two Xiaotuanzi to sleep, she went to the study to find Wei Feng.

Wei Yan originally didn't intend to tell her these things, lest she think too much, but he couldn't bear her soft-heartedness, and finally told her everything.After hearing this, Su Xi stood by the side for a long time, then walked silently behind Wei Feng, stretched out her arms from behind to wrap around his neck, rested her cheek on his shoulder, and said in a nasal voice, "Cousin Tingzhou , I will treat you very well in the future."

She knew how difficult it was for him to get to where he is today, but he would rather give up that seat for the sake of his two children.

Wei Yan smiled lightly, reached out and clasped the back of her head, turned his head and kissed her small face, "This sounds familiar, did a certain little girl say it before?"

At that time, they went to Daci Temple to worship the Bodhisattva together, and she had a whim and said, "I won't lose my temper with him in the future", but turned around and slapped him.Now Wei Yan dare not believe her words easily.

Su Xi grunted, tightened her slender arms, and wrapped around his neck even tighter, "I'm telling the truth this time."

Wei Yan almost died of breath, coughed, brought the girl behind him to him, scraped her upturned nose, and said, "You don't have to do anything deliberately, Xiaoyou, as long as I treat you nicely." That day she The scene of standing on the city wall still scares him when he thinks about it.

Su Xi glanced at him, thinking of something, held his dishonest hand, pursed her lips, and still couldn't help asking: "I was standing on the city wall that day, why did you let people shoot arrows?" If it wasn't for Wei Jichang Pushing her from behind, even if she won't die on the spot, she won't be left with Zhiyan and Zhiyu's two pink and tender little balls.

This matter has always been a knot in her heart, she wanted to ask but dared not ask, for fear that the answer would be different from what she thought.

If in Wei Feng's mind, she is really not as important as the throne?

Su Xi drooped her head, her long eyelashes hanging down.She knew that this question was a bit vexatious, so she wouldn't ask, she just wanted Wei Yan to give herself an explanation.

Wei Yan held up her chin, looked into her eyes, and explained seriously: "I didn't order someone to shoot the arrow, you young boy. I ordered no one to shoot the arrow. That person violated the military order and has been severely punished afterwards."

The soldier, surnamed Sun, had just joined the army for half a year.After the war, Wei Yan ordered this person to be dealt with by military law, and he was severely punished.

Su Xi raised her eyes, not quite believing it, "Really?"

Wei Yan held her small face, his forehead against hers, and his nose against hers, probably thinking that she asked something stupid. "How can I be willing to watch you get hurt."

Su Xi's long eyelashes blinked and swept across the bridge of his nose.As if pondering the truth of his words.

Her bright black eyeballs rolled around, making Wei Yan's heart itch. Before she could speak, he leaned over and grabbed her pink mouth.

After confinement, Su Xi paid great attention to the recovery of her body.She gained a lot of weight when she was pregnant, and she couldn't get out of bed and walk around after giving birth, so she could only lie on the bed to raise meat, and she grew her small waist into a bucket waist.She stood in front of the mirror and looked around, lowered her head and pinched the soft flesh on her stomach, she felt a little disgusted with herself, she didn't know how Wei Feng managed to do it.

After Su Xi was stimulated, she made a plan and resumed the three meals, daily routine and exercise she had before when she was not married.Every morning when she wakes up at Chenshi, when Wei Yan has already gone out, she will run around Yunjinzhai twice, and when she runs, she will wrap a circle around her waist tightly, and then go back to the house to practice for half an hour. action.After washing up, I had breakfast and played with my two sons for a while.

In the afternoon, she ordered someone to clean the west wing, and she danced there for half an hour.After dark, practice the movements for another half an hour.

At the end of the day, even though it was already autumn, it was inevitable that he would sweat all over his body, and his whole body was sticky and greasy, which was very uncomfortable.Su Xi went to the clean room to take a bath, and when she came out, Wei Yan came back from the outside.

After persisting like this for two months, on the day of Zhiyan and Zhiyu's [-]-day banquet, Su Xi's small waist came back, and the flesh on her face was also reduced, and she returned to her previous sharp and moist oval face.Perhaps it was because of her childbirth, her figure was more exquisite than before, but her face did not change much, it was still bright and delicate, smooth and flawless.At a glance, there is innocence in the coquettishness, which caused many people who came to the Hundred Days Banquet to stare straight at them.

Su Xi is wearing a cherry-colored Su embroidered lily-patterned gown today. Inside is a plain blouse and silk pleated skirt, which complement her porcelain-white skin, bright eyes and white teeth.When greeting others with childish words, she doesn't look at all like a mother who just gave birth, but more like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who hasn't left the court.

In the blink of an eye, Zhiyan, Zhiyu has been more than three months, from a thin and ugly little monkey to a white and tender pink dumpling.The two little guys were born beautiful and beautiful, carved in pink and jade, quite lovable.It's just that Zhiyan was a little shy, when Qing Guogong and his wife hugged him, he flattened his mouth, his big eyes filled with tears, he turned his head to look for his mother Su Xi, he was about to cry.

Seeing this, Su Xi hurried over to coax him.

Over there, Zhiyu was hugged by his grandmother Yin Shi, with his head resting on Yin Shi's shoulders, blinking his big black eyes, and playing happily with Su Baiyu.

To be precise, it was Su Baiyu who stood aside and looked at him, he was laughing there by himself, much more familiar than his brother.

Su Baiyu was almost nine years old. After studying in school for a year, he became more and more like a little adult, calm and cold, and serious.Now looking at this soft, white and tender little thing, he stretched out his hand and stroked Zhiyu's head inexperiencedly. This is Aunt Xi's child and his little brother.

Unexpectedly, just as he put down his hand, before he could take it back, Zhiyu grabbed his finger with his chubby little hand and stuffed it into his mouth.Su Baiyu watched helplessly as Xiaotuanzi sucked his fingers, and the soft little tongue swept across his fingertips, saliva dripping down his hand.

Su Baiyu frowned beautifully, a little disgusted.But I was afraid that I would cry when I took out this little thing, so I endured it silently.

Seeing Su Baiyu's expression as if he was facing an enemy, Su Xi couldn't help but burst into a smile, hugged Zhiyu, wiped Boge's hand with a juan handkerchief, and then wiped the saliva of his youngest son, " Zhiyu, are brother's fingers delicious?"

Zhiyu didn't speak, but leaned on her shoulder, grinning, two eyes as black and bright as Su Xi's were bent into crescent moons.

Looking at the two grandchildren, Yin said with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, my youngest has become a mother."

In Yin's eyes, she has always been a little girl who can't grow up.

Su Xi and her mother hadn't seen each other for a long time. After entertaining the guests, they went to the warm pavilion to talk with childish words.

Bo Geer was playing with two small groups.It could be seen that Zhiyu liked Su Baiyu very much. When Su Xi was talking to Yin Shi, he could hear his "giggle" laughter constantly.

In the afternoon, the banquet ended, Su Xi and Wei Wei saw off all the guests, and the Yin family also took Bai Geer back.

As soon as Su Xi turned her head, she saw Wei Yan standing behind her with a sullen face.

Su Xi was taken aback for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with Cousin Tingzhou?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a male guest walked past Su Xi, saluted Wei Feng, and then Su Xi. His eyes fell on Su Xi, and he was quite lingering, admiring and admiring.

Wei Yan said coldly: "Master Xu still hasn't left, did he forget something?"

What can be forgotten, I am afraid that I have forgotten Hun'er.

Master Xu was reminded by Wei Feng, so he hurriedly collected his demeanor.Seeing Wei Wei's troubled expression, he hurriedly apologized to him, didn't dare to look at Su Xi any more, and left in a hurry.

Su Xi: "..."
