Queen's New Clothes

142 The Finale 3
"Woooo... Mother, hug me." Zhiyan didn't listen to Fu Shaoyun's words, tears fell down, she stretched out her small arms, looked at Su Xi who was a few steps away, and wanted to hug Su Xi aggrievedly.

Su Xi recovered from her daze, stepped forward quickly, took the child from Fu Shaoyun's hands, patted him on the back lightly, and coaxed him distressedly: "Mother is here, so I won't cry when I'm young..."

Seeing her brother crying, Zhiyu staggered over from behind, grabbed her mother's skirt with her chubby little hands, raised her face, and comforted her in a childlike voice: "Brother...don't be afraid. Father said , men don't cry..."

Zhiyu is not yet two years old, he can only speak some simple words, and he can't speak many words well.Stumbling, trying to find the words in my stomach.

Usually the elder brother is stable and the younger brother is mischievous, but now it's the other way around, the younger brother comforts the elder brother solemnly, the elder brother lies on his mother's shoulder, sobbing and choking, his fleshy back twitches, pitifully sad.After crying for a while, Xu Shi's elder brother Zhiyan felt that his younger brother was watching. He turned his head and silently wiped away the tears on Su Xi's neck. On the neck, itchy.

One of the two children was lying in Su Xi's arms, and the other was standing at Su Xi's feet. Their small faces carved in pink and jade were very similar.

That Fu Yi was restrained by Li Hong and Chang Hu. At first, she kept struggling, but when she saw this happy scene, she stopped in a daze.Thinking of something, her eyes gradually dimmed.

Younger brother Zhiyu stood behind Su Xi, only showing a pair of big black and bright eyes, looking at Fu Shaoyun curiously, and asked in a crisp voice, "Who are you?"

The reason why the little guy asked such a question was because he had been looking at his mother all the time.Mother is only the father can see it like this.

Fu Shaoyun's eyes moved down, and landed on Fen Tuanzi Zhiyu, bent down and touched his little head, thought for a while and said, "I'm your mother's cousin, you can call me Uncle Cousin."

After finishing speaking, he straightened up and looked at Su Xi.Thousands of words lingered in his mouth, but in the end he could only take a step back slowly, saluted Su Xi, and said, "Miss Yi offended the empress, I will confess to the empress on her behalf."

Long time no see, Fu Shaoyun is thinner than before, but he is in good spirits, he has lost his youthful innocence, and looks more and more like a mature and stable man.Su Xi is not used to this kind of courtesies between monarchs and ministers. In her heart, Fu Shaoyun has always been the warm and approachable "Cousin Shaoyun" when she was a child.

She settled down, hugged Zhiyan tightly, and asked the doubts in her heart: "Why is Cousin Shaoyun here?"

Fu Shaoyun didn't hide anything, "Go back to Madam, I'm here to look for Sister Yi."

When he was chasing after him, he happened to see Fu Yi let go of the hand holding Zhiyan, and saw Su Xi's face pale behind him, he hardly thought about it, and in the next moment, he had already hugged the soft baby into his arms.Fu Shaoyun knew that Su Xi had given birth to a pair of twins. For such a big event, the courtiers were discussing it almost every day a while ago, and he also heard the news at home.Wei Yan did not hesitate to offend the officials, but also to keep a pair of sons, presumably these two.

Su Xi looked at Fu Yi who was silent over there, remembering her delirious appearance just now, she was still terrified, took a step back, and said in disbelief: "What's wrong with her?"

Fu Shaoyun was silent for a moment, Fang Chichi said: "The doctor said it was too much stimulation, mental disorder, good times and bad times..."

Ever since Wei Yuan forced her to drink Luozitang and was sent to Shanning Temple, Fu Yi has been silent for more than a month.Later Wei Yuan rebelled and beheaded for public display, but she didn't react too much.It wasn't until Wei Wei ascended the throne and Su Xi was canonized that she became what she is now. Most of the time she is normal, but a few times she will suddenly go crazy.

Seeing that Su Xi was puzzled, Fu Shaoyun explained: "Miss Yi lives in Shanning Nunnery, which is behind Pingtang Mountain. Today, the little maid who guards the gate didn't stop her, so she ran here. She almost hurt the little girl." Prince, empress..."

"Cousin Shaoyun." Su Xi interrupted him, "You don't have to be so polite...let's talk as before."

He opened and closed his mouth "Empress Empress", which made her feel strangely uncomfortable.

Fu Shaoyun was startled, then slightly bent his lips and said hello.

Su Xi glanced at Fu Yi, feeling complicated.It's not that I feel so happy, but I have some regrets.

Despite her cunning, it is undeniable that her talent is genuine.At the beginning, she was amazingly talented. After she was reborn, she worked hard and cultivated both internally and externally, just to compete with her. She is the direction of her efforts.Now that she has become what she is now, she seems to have no competitors, which is not a pity.

There is such a sentence in the history books - "Take copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; take people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses."

Fu Yi is probably her mirror.

Fu Shaoyun looked deeply at Su Xi, and because of what she said just now, his tone became much lighter: "Why are you here?"

Su Xi said: "Your Majesty brought us here to live for a few days. When I saw the weather was fine, I brought Zhiyan and Zhiyu out to play."

Fu Shaoyun nodded, and wanted to say something more, "Then..."

Just listen to the voices of the two maidservants behind: "Your Majesty."

Su Xi immediately turned around, and saw Wei Yan standing a few steps away in a robe with Buddha's head in blue and dark embroidered with golden Chi patterns.Zhiyu joyfully called out "Father Emperor".Wei Yan walked up to him, leaned over and picked him up, his face was slightly gloomy, he looked at Fu Shaoyun who was facing him, and said coldly, "Why is Prince Qing here? When will he be able to come and go here as he pleases?"

Over there, Li Hong and Chang Hu had already knelt down, "It's all because the subordinates didn't take good care of them."

Fu Shaoyun followed the etiquette of a monarch and a minister: "It's a minister who broke into this place by mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Halfway through the review of Wei Yan's memorial, he was worried about Su Xi, mother and son, so he put down his pen and came over to have a look in person.He glanced at Fu Yi behind him, then at the wet tears on his eldest son Zhiyan's face, frowned, and said, "What's going on?"

"Father, I, I know." Zhiyu writhed in his arms, trying to attract his attention.

Wei Yan lowered his eyes.Zhiyu gestured with both hands, and said what happened just now, and even analyzed it in detail.In the end, pointing at Fu Yi over there with her little hand, she said with righteous indignation: "She bullies brother. A scoundrel."

Not knowing whether it was because of Wei Feng's arrival, or because of Zhiyu's accusation, Fu Yi lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders.

Fu Shaoyun said: "Your Majesty, please read that my sister is sick, and forgive her this time..."

Wei Feng heard a lot from Zhiyu's mouth, and he probably guessed what was going on.Fortunately, Zhiyan was fine, he looked away, and said indifferently: "Young Master Qing knows that this is a forbidden place, but he insists on trespassing, thinking he is innocent?"

Fu Shaoyun choked, and immediately said on one knee: "I am willing to be punished."

Wei Yan raised his eyes, without changing his face, he said: "For the sake of saving my son, your merits and demerits will balance each other, so let's not make an exception."

Su Xi next to him let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief.

Although it was wrong for Fu Shaoyun to trespass into another courtyard, if he hadn't saved Zhiyan in time, Zhiyan would not be safe now.If she had to be punished, she would feel very sorry.

Wei Yan said to Li Hong and Chang Hu: "Help the Prince Qing to send people back. If someone steps into the other courtyard again, I will ask you two."

Li Hong and Chang Hu went down together.

Fu Shaoyun thanked Shengen and stood up.Not far away, a woman in a ginger dress and a woman's bun came hurriedly, stopped beside Fu Shaoyun, bowed her eyebrows and said: "My daughter, Mrs. Bai, has seen Your Majesty and the Empress."

At first Su Xi didn't react, until Fu Shaoyun explained: "Your Majesty, empress, this is the clumsy thorn."

It was only then that Su Xi remembered that at the beginning of spring, there was a happy event in Duke Qing's mansion. Fu Shaoyun married Bai Tan, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites, who must be the Bai family.I saw that Bai Shi was about seventeen or eight years old, with fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth, and a beautiful appearance.Su Xi met her twice in her previous life, but they didn't have a deep relationship, and it's been so many years, so she doesn't remember clearly.

Su Xixu gave her a hand and said, "Get up quickly."

Bai stood up, "Thank you, Empress Empress."

On the way back, Su Xi turned around and took a look.Standing together with Fu Shaoyun, Bai Tan and Fu Shaoyun are a pair of talents and looks, an extremely well-matched couple.

Before he could look back, his head was turned around by a big hand, and he met Wei Feng with heavy eyes.He squinted his eyes and said dangerously: "Youyou, if you continue watching, you won't be afraid that I will regret it and punish him severely?"

The two sons did not know when they fell asleep, and they were being hugged by the maid.

Su Xi blinked.Others are a powder keg that burns at one o'clock, while he is a vinegar jar and drinks vinegar whenever he sees it. "How does Cousin Tingzhou know who I'm looking at? I just want to see how well Miss Bai and Cousin Shaoyun are compatible. Besides, you are not joking. Is there any reason to take back what you said?"

"I said yes, there will be." Wei Yan boasted without shame.

Su Xi rolled her eyes in her heart.

Go back to the other courtyard and settle Zhiyan and Zhiyu. As for the two maids who didn't like Zhiyan, Su Xi has demoted their positions and let the nanny discipline them again.She originally wanted to go back to the room to rest, but was called to the study by Wei Feng, and she didn't know why Wei Feng was angry until she was placed on the red sandalwood carved grape pattern.

Wei Yan supported both ends of the desk with both hands, leaned over, and put her nose to nose, and said word by word: "When I said I was going to punish him, were you worried?"

It turned out that she just breathed a sigh of relief before he heard her.

Su Xi looked into his eyes and reasoned with him: "Cousin Shaoyun saved Zhiyan, out of emotion and reason, you shouldn't..." The voice behind Wei Yan's eyes became weaker and weaker.She put her arms around his neck, flattened her mouth, raised her face and bit his Adam's apple dissatisfied, "Why do you always have trouble with Cousin Shaoyun? Don't scare me with the rules, I saw Master Xie yesterday He and the other two adults are here, if others really can’t come in, shouldn’t these adults also be punished?”

The little girl became more and more shrewd, and she was speechless today.

Su Xi snorted softly, and said to the truth: "You are just pretending to be a public servant for personal gain."

Jinshang twitched the corners of his mouth, supported the koala-like girl to sit back on the chair, and thought for a while: "You're right, I'm just pretending to be public servants."

Wei Yan gently kneaded her small earballs, and stated in a low voice, "Young, I can't learn to distinguish between public and private when facing people who covet you."

Su Xi was slightly stunned, "What are you talking about? Cousin Shaoyun has already married a wife, even if he went to the Su Mansion to propose marriage before, it has been so long..."

She regards Fu Shaoyun as an ordinary cousin, but Fu Shaoyun doesn't necessarily think so.

Men look at men with the most precise eyes. Wei Yan is very familiar with the longing and admiration in Fu Shaoyun's eyes.On the contrary, when Fu Shaoyun looked at his wife Bai Shi, there was no such look in his eyes.

Wei Yan held Su Xi's waist, but did not respond.It doesn't matter if she doesn't know, but if she finds out, she will think wildly.It was enough for her to treat Fu Shaoyun as an ordinary cousin.

Wei Yan lowered his head and bit her pink lips, and said, "It's okay to covet her once."

Su Xi was not convinced: "You are overbearing and unreasonable..."

Three days later, the group left Pingtang Mountain and returned to the palace.The two little guys Zhiyan and Zhiyu are obedient, maybe they remembered that they promised their father that they would only stay for three more days, and whoever cheated would be a puppy, so when they left, although they were reluctant to part, they still twisted and twisted. Twisted followed behind Su Xi and Wei Wei, each holding the hands of his father, queen mother, and boarded the carriage.

Not long after returning to the palace, the Yin family and her sixth sister-in-law Yu Baotong came to the palace to see Su Xi once.

Yu Baotong's son is more than three years old, one and a half years older than Zhiyan and Zhiyu, and his nickname is Tuantuan. He has inherited his father's temperament and is very shy.When Tuantuan saw his two younger brothers, he blushed and hid behind his sixth sister-in-law, refusing to call anyone.It was Zhiyan and Zhiyu who obediently followed Su Xi and called "Brother".Zhiyu is familiar, boldly stepped forward to hold the little cousin's hand, and said in a childlike voice, "Why are you hiding? You want to play peek-a-boo?"

Before Tuantuan could speak, Zhiyu spoke like a grown-up: "Father said, only female dolls like to play peek-a-boo."

round and round:"……"

Over there, the three baby dolls were playing together, and Su Xi was talking to her mother Yin Shi and Yu Baotong.

It was also at this time that Su Xi learned that Duke Qing's Mansion had held a funeral a while ago——

Fu Yi committed suicide in Shanning Temple.

Su Xi was shocked for a long time.It was only half a month since I met Fu Yi in the other courtyard, why did she commit suicide suddenly?However, after thinking about it, I felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.That day, Fu Yi was a little abnormal. According to Fu Shaoyun, she had been like this for a long time. In addition, she was arrogant. Now that her reputation is ruined and her child is gone, it is normal for her to think about it for a while.

After seeing off her mother Yin and her sixth sister-in-law, Su Xi sat on the couch by the window and thought for a while.

Fu Yi has such a result in this life, and it is all her own fault.If she hadn't secretly communicated with Li Yan back then, and hadn't tried to frame Wei Feng, she wouldn't have been dismissed by the Yu Palace, and her reputation wouldn't have been ruined.Thinking about it the other way around, even if Fu Yi was not abandoned by Wei Yuan, and Wei Yuan rebelled later, as Wei Yuan's first wife, she could not escape death.

Now, on the contrary, he has lived a few years longer.

After figuring it out, Su Xi didn't worry about it anymore.

Zhiyan and Zhiyu were tired of playing and were sent back by the maid. At this time, they were lying on the rattan-faced arhat bed and sleeping soundly. Su Xi covered them with a blanket and went to the back garden for a stroll.Life in the palace is boring, so she finds fun by herself. There is a large open space in the Xuanshi Palace, and she uses it to grow her favorite flowers.

There is also a grape flower stand behind the flower garden, and at this time you can still see a few clusters of round grapes hanging here and there.Su Xi sat under the flower stand and lay down for a while. At this time, Wei Yan was discussing with several courtiers in the imperial study about the imperial examination.

Wei Yuan's rebellion involved many officials, and now that there is a shortage of talents in the court, Wei Yan attaches great importance to this imperial examination.

Su Xi didn't bother, and asked the maid to bring a gold and silver silk pillow. She lay on her stomach and fell asleep without knowing it.

I don't know what's going on these few days. It's not winter yet, but I always doze off, as if I can't wake up.Su Xi blamed this on Wei Feng, blaming him for pestering her so much at night that she couldn't rest well, and she always wanted to sleep during the day.

I don't know how long she slept, but there seemed to be a big hand on her waist, gently pressing her sore place.When she opened her eyes, she saw Wei Yan's tightly locked eyebrows, "How can I fall asleep anywhere? It's cold, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

Having said that, the hands massaging her waist were neither light nor heavy, with just the right strength.

Su Xi narrowed her eyes and looked, she was covered with his black fur cloak.She burrowed into his arms, "Well, are you not busy?"

As soon as she acted like a baby, his face really looked better.She frowned and smiled silently, "No matter how busy I am, I still want to accompany my queen."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Su Xi was worried that Zhiyan and Zhiyu would cry and fuss if she woke up and didn't see herself, so she flicked her slender calves, "Put me down quickly, it's time to go back. "

"Don't move." Wei Yan patted his little butt, and he didn't stand up holding the girl in his arms until the girl in his arms was honest, and walked towards Xuanshi Hall.

Su Xi was startled, "You, what are you doing? I can walk by myself."

Wei Yan looked down at her: "Your back doesn't hurt anymore?"

Yesterday Fanbang tributed a kind of wine. Su Xi felt it was fresh, so she couldn't help but drink two more glasses.Seeing that the wine was not strong and tasted even sweeter, Wei Yan didn't stop her.Who knew that this girl had such a low drinking capacity, she passed out after a few drinks, she clung to him at night, she was more lingering and passionate than usual, lingering on him for a whole night.

Although Su Xi was drunk last night, she still had some memories.When she thought of having her legs wrapped around Wei Feng's waist and saying those embarrassing things, she blushed and buried herself deeply in Wei Feng's chest, warning softly, "You are not allowed to mention this again."

With a smile on the corner of Wei Yan's mouth, he said as he walked towards the Xuanshi Hall: "Okay, okay. I won't mention it, someone knows it in his heart."

Su Xi said angrily, "Wei Yan!"

Last night, Su Xi's cheeks were flushed, her almond eyes were misty, and her proactive appearance was quite attractive.When Wei Feng thought of it, his stomach became hot and hot, and it seemed that it was necessary to ask Fan Bang to pay more wine every year in the future.But only he can see the appearance of his queen after drinking.

As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow penetrates through the glazed tiles on the verandah, and sprinkles on Wei Feng and Su Xi, winding the ground golden.

Wei Yan walked slowly with Su Xi in his arms, as if he was reluctant to go to the end.

The palace people in the corridor had long been accustomed to the empress's love, so they were not surprised, and bowed their heads politely.

Until Wei Yan carried Su Xi into Xuanshi Hall, the door of the hall was closed.

Outside the hall, the red clouds are thousands of miles away, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are blooming, and the mountains and rivers are just right.
