Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 139 Openly Showing Love
Two palace ladies in green clothes stepped forward and bowed their knees to salute. "See Your Majesty."

Wei Yan was wearing a black mianfu, with four dragon patterns embroidered on the sleeves, and a jade belt around his waist. Before he could take off the diadem on his head, there were twelve jade beads hanging in front of his eyes. It was the most orthodox imperial clothing. .After entering the Xuanshi Hall, Gong'e came up to take off his crown clothes, and he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.

The ladies of the palace did not dare to disobey, they lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes and said yes.

Wei Yan walked into the hall, and saw a slender figure standing behind eight red sandalwood screens inlaid with hundreds of treasures.

Su Xi was looking at the picture of spring with hundreds of flowers on the screen. Hearing the sound, she walked up to him with a smile, pointed to the painting and said, "Cousin Tingzhou, this is Mr. Ren's painting." Not deep, but I have always liked Mr. Ren.

"If you like it, I'll order people to collect all his paintings." Wei Yan held her small face and asked, "Where are Zhiyan, Zhiyu?"

Su Xi said: "I fell asleep just now, and I asked the nanny to carry them into the house." Seeing that Wei Yan was neatly dressed, he must have been tired all day, so she tiptoed to help him take off the crown on his head.

As a result, the maids saw that the noble and cold new emperor lowered his head naturally in order to accommodate the empress, without the slightest rejection when they were about to change his clothes just now.

And the empress empress, who had a high temperament and elegant demeanor, pursed her pink lips, with a soft smile on her delicate cheeks, and she became a delicate and charming little wife as soon as she came in front of His Majesty.The maids only glanced at it, then quickly lowered their heads.They had never seen such a beautiful woman as the Empress Empress, just like the fairy who fell into the mortal world in the painting, her muscles and bones were flawless, and her appearance was gorgeous.Just now, when Su Xi lowered her eyes and gently coaxed her two sons to sleep, they, as women, were stunned.

Back when the empress was not taken into the palace, they heard that there was only the empress, and they didn't quite believe it.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, I feel suddenly enlightened.

After seeing such a face, how can other vulgar fans catch the eye?

In this room, Su Xi waited on Wei Feng to change his clothes, and he expected to have some dishes cooked before he even had dinner.

After eating, Wei Yan went to the clean room to take a shower. After coming out, he was still a little tired, so he reached out and kneaded the space between his eyebrows twice.Su Xi understood that he was too busy to touch the ground recently, so she let him lie on her lap, gently massaged his temples, and asked, "Brother Tingzhou, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Wei Yan didn't open his eyes, presumably because he was very tired, so he let out a low "huh" and said lazily, "What's the matter? "

Su Xi said: "Tingyan and Tinghe are not young anymore. They have served me for seven or eight years. Although I am reluctant, I can't delay them. I want to show them a good marriage and choose a good date and auspicious day." Let them marry."

Wei Wei said: "They are your maidservants, and everything is at your disposal." At the end, she raised her eyes and said with a slight smile, "My queen, I still have the right to speak."

Glib.Su Xi glared at him, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she deliberately asked, "Then what else is there, I don't have the right to speak?"

Wei Yan held her little hand, twitched her palm lightly, and said slowly: "Except for political affairs and sexual affairs, everything else is up to you."

Su Xi: "..."

Su Xi quickly shook off his hand, and all the maids in the palace lowered their heads, they must have heard what he said.She blushed, and glared at him angrily. Apart from that, could there be anything else in his mind?
Turns out, no.

At night, Su Xi was pressed by Wei Wei on the big sandalwood bed painted with golden dragon and phoenix patterns. The bed was spacious, as if it had no end, just like Su Xi's feeling now.She tightly held the embroidered bed sheet with her fingertips, frowned, and was hit hard by Wei Yan, and crystal tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.With a crying voice, she said pitifully: "Wuuuu, no more... Cousin Tingzhou, please forgive me."

It's been too long, and she feels that the sky outside is getting brighter.

Before going to bed, I heard Wei Feng say that tomorrow I will go to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors, and I have to get up early in the morning.She originally planned to rest early, but who knew that as soon as Wei Feng arrived on the bed, her exhaustion disappeared without a trace, and she has been tossing her until now.

She was so sleepy right now, but she couldn't close her eyes.Every time when she was about to fall asleep, Wei Yan would wake her up on purpose so that she couldn't fall asleep at all.She opened her mouth, biting the bed sheet embroidered with golden dragon and phoenix patterns with her white teeth, her long eyelashes were wet with tears, like a little daughter-in-law bearing the storm behind her.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Yan was fed up and felt sorry for Su Xi. He had no strength and didn't want to get up at all.

Wei Yan patted her little butt, with a smile on his lips, "I'm going to worship the ancestors later, young boy, don't stay in bed."

Su Xi turned her head slowly, and opened one dark eye.Don't speak, just accuse him with your eyes.

He still has the nerve to blame himself for staying out of bed?If it wasn't for him last night, he wouldn't listen to her begging for mercy. Could she be like this?Su Xi pursed her lips and snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction.

But she knew the importance of worshiping ancestors today, so she didn't stay in bed for too long.

After washing up, Gong'e walked in holding the queen's crown dress and waited for Su Xi to change.The queen's clothes are more complicated than the emperor's. The big bright yellow shirt is embroidered with Sihe wishful cloud patterns, and she wears a phoenix crown and Xiapei. It will take half an hour to get dressed properly.

Su Xi was born to be good-looking, this dress not only did not cover up her original color, but instead became her foil.If a person with insufficient temperament wears such grand and noble clothes, his eyes will be taken away by the clothes themselves.But Su Xi didn't. When she walked out of the palace, the palace servants under the verandah only felt that their eyes lit up, even a shaggy prickly pear could shine, and no one was more suitable for this dress than her.

Wei Yan watched quietly for a while, then reached out to hold her hand.After walking for a while, he smiled lightly and said, "Youyou."

Su Xi turned to look at him, "Huh?"

Under the wide sleeves embroidered with Sihe Ruyi cloud pattern in the same color, the two hands clasped together, and the big hand gently kneaded her small hand.Wei Yan said, "You are so beautiful."

Su Xi pursed her lips, bent a sweet and shallow arc, and said in a low voice without shame: "I know."

Wei Yan's eyes showed a little helplessness.Probably thinking about how this girl's face has become thicker, but Su Xi learned from him.

When they arrived at the altar, all civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed their heads. After calling Long Live, they shouted "Empress Empress, Thousand Years, Jin'an".

Su Xi had never seen such a big scene, and her footsteps paused slightly.If she felt that being a queen was no different from before this morning, then she realized it now.No wonder so many people seek power, because power is desirable.She glanced briefly, and she had seen most of the officials kneeling below, even her grandfather Yin Zhouxing, the chief minister of the cabinet, and General Weiyuan Lu Chi were among them.

She stood on the altar, bearing the elders' kneeling, feeling a little uncomfortable.Wei Yan gently squeezed her hand, and she quickly recovered and followed his footsteps.

Once the process was completed, Su Xi behaved properly, without rushing, and did not make any mistakes.

It's just that there are too many times of kowtowing. Every time I come to the spiritual seat of an ancestor, I have to kneel and kowtow.Su Xi's skin was delicate and tender, and after two hours, she finally finished worshiping the ancestors of heaven and earth, her forehead was also red and swollen, and she couldn't see it.

Wei Yan led her down the altar. Before the officials left, he reached out and rubbed her forehead lightly, and said distressedly, "Does it hurt?"

Su Xi subconsciously let out a "hiss" breath, avoided it, and nodded honestly: "It hurts."

A few officials on the opposite side covered their lips and coughed.The emperor and empress openly showed their affection, and several of the officials blushed when they saw it.

Wei Yan didn't take their intentional or unintentional reminders seriously, his expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear it, he took Su Xi's hand and walked back, saying, "I'll give you some medicine when I go back."

Su Xi nodded obediently, and was led away by him.

"Your Majesty." A minister in a dark red round neck robe stepped forward and called Wei Wei to stop.

Wei Feng turned around, "What's the matter, Master Ji?"

Su Xi looked at the patch in front of this person. It was a brocade pattern of clouds and cranes, so he should be a first-rank civil servant.

Darren Ji said: "I have a few memorials here, I hope His Majesty will review them as soon as possible. There was also a snow disaster in the north a while ago, and the imperial court urgently needed funds for disaster relief. At that time, the Supreme Emperor was not in good health, so this matter has been delayed..."

Wei Wei thought for a while, "Put the notebook in the imperial study first, and I'll read it later."

Lord Ji nodded, saying that it was all right, and sent the emperor and queen off respectfully.

Su Xi didn't want to delay Wei Yan's maintenance, so after walking for a while, she thoughtfully said, "Brother Ting Zhou, go to the study, I'll just go back and have someone apply some medicine." The disaster relief is more important.

Wei Yan looked at the red mark on her smooth forehead, frowned, and comforted him: "Don't be in a hurry. Please ask the imperial doctor to show you first, so that you don't get any scars." He knew that his little girl was the last If you love beauty, if you have scars, you might feel sad.

Su Xi blinked and said hello.

On the way back to the Xuanshi Hall, I saw a group of women walking in front of me from a distance, with upper-class features and different appearances, some with easy steps or sad faces.

It was the beauties in the harem that Emperor Zhao Yuan had never been lucky enough to visit.Because of Wei Yan's words, he is about to be sent out of the palace now.
