Queen's New Clothes

143 The Finale 5
After autumn, Su Xi became more and more lethargic.Wei Yan went to court at five o'clock, and she could sleep until the sun was up.

After Wei Wei went to court in the morning, he went to the imperial study to deal with the maintenance. Su Xi got up, sat on the couch by the window and read a book for a while, when Ting Li came from Linxuan Hall with childish words and words.

The two little guys kicked off their shoes in unison, climbed up Nuantai with their buttocks pouted, and rubbed against Su Xi's side.

Zhiyu took the lead in getting into Su Xi's arms, occupying the territory, and asked childishly, "Mother, what are you looking at..."

Zhiyan couldn't compete with his younger brother, so he sat silently by the side.

Su Xi lightly scratched Zhiyu's little nose, closed the book, pointed to the words on the title page, "Mother is reading "Han Feizi"."

The two sons are still young, not old enough to attend classes in the study.Su Xi would teach them to read and write in private, and the two of them were very smart, and they could remember some words accurately after Su Xi taught them only once.Especially the eldest son, Zhiyan, has an amazing talent for reading and is smarter than many children of the same age.On the other hand, the youngest son is childish, mischievous and absent-minded, only interested in some mechanism toys.

Zhiyu raised her face, confused: "What is Han Feizi?"

Seeing that Zhiyan was also looking at her, Su Xi took him into her arms, hugged the two baby dolls in one hand, and said with a smile: "Mother, tell you?"

Zhiyan's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

Su Xi told them a few stories about buying bamboo for pearls, self-contradiction, and shaming, etc. Zhiyan listened with gusto, but Zhiyu was not so obedient. Wearing a Luban lock, he is concentrating on dismantling and installing it.

Zhiyan grabbed Su Xi's hand with his small hand, and shook her thumb with endless interest, "Mother, tell me one more."

Su Xi took a sip of tea from the purple sand teacup on the table, moistened her throat, and then told a few more stories.

At noon, the two little guys were finally tired, and fell asleep in Su Xi's arms after lunch.When Wei Yan came back, he picked up the two sons one by one, and sent them back to Linxuan Hall. After resting for half an hour with Su Xi in his arms, he went to the study again.

The lotus is withered, and the lotus pods in the Taiye Pond are ripe.In the afternoon, Su Xi held a palace banquet and invited many people to pick lotus pods.Yu Baotong, Tang Wan, and Lu Huishu also came. They haven't been together for a long time since they got married.

Tang Wan married Su Zhen, the grandson of the second grandfather of Su Xi, as his wife. After Su Zhen became an official, he took his wife and children to Hezhou, and only returned to Beijing a few days ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hezhou is dry and the weather is hot. Tang Wan got a little tanned in those two years, but her skin is shiny and moist, with peach blossoms on her face. It can be seen that she is well nourished, and it is a bit more charming than when she was not married.Her daughter Tongtong has just turned two years old, she is as old as Zhiyan and Zhiyu, and has inherited all the advantages of her parents, with bright eyes, exquisite facial features, Yuxue is cute, and has a very lively temper, and she can play well with Zhiyu.

After picking the lotus pods, they sat in the octagonal pavilion and talked, while the little guys on the opposite side were having fun.

"Sister Tang, isn't the climate in Hezhou very good? Look at you, you look even better than when you were not married. Sister Yu and I both said that you are so happy that you don't want to leave, you don't want to come back, and you forget us." Su Xibian Peel the lotus pod and say.

Zhiyu was tired from playing, so she ran to Su Xi's lap.Su Xi wiped his sweat with a towel and fed him a lotus seed.

Tang Wan bent her eyes and smiled, the friendship between the few people was still the same as before, "The climate in Hezhou is good and the scenery is pleasant, you will know when you go to live with the empress tomorrow."

Su Xi was a little regretful, "I'll forget it, the capital city is pretty good, I don't care if I go or not." She is a queen now, so naturally she can't go wherever she wants, and Wei Yan can't spare time to take them there. so far away.

Seeing her perplexed, Lu Huishu changed the subject and said, "This lotus pod is really fresh, crisp and delicious, I heard it can also be used for soup?"

"Of course, it can be stewed with lily and crucian carp for an hour or two. The fish meat is delicious..." Yu Baotong said.

Su Xi frowned, and felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of the fishy smell.When Lu Huishu heard it, she reacted even more. She immediately stood up, covered her lips and walked to the side, bending over and retching.

Yu Baotong and Tang Wan stood up one after another, "What's wrong with Princess Hui?"

Lu Huishu's face turned pale, and she didn't look well.

Su Xi said: "Sister Shu, are you all right, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you?"

Lu Huishu shook her head, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said embarrassingly: "I'm fine... I've shown it to the doctor a while ago, and the doctor said that I'm two months pregnant, which is a normal nausea reaction. Because it wasn't three months before, I didn't tell you..."

Su Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly congratulated her.Yu Baotong and Tang Wan also came to congratulate her. Among the four, only Lu Huishu had never given birth to a child. Yu Baotong and Tang Wan taught her their experience and taught her how to take care of her body. She listened one by one.

Su Xi was very happy for Lu Huishu, and immediately asked someone to go to the house to fetch a gold inlaid jade Sihe Ruyi cloud pattern longevity lock, and gave it to the child in Lu Huishu's womb as a meeting gift.

Yu Baotong and Tang Wan also gave gifts.

In the evening, Lu Huishu and the others left one after another.After the banquet was over, Su Xi led Zhiyan and Zhiyu back to the Xuanshi Hall. Wei Feng hadn't returned from the imperial study room yet, she remembered what happened today, and ordered Tingli to invite the imperial physician.

After Ting Yan and Ting He got married, Ting Lu and Ting Li became Su Xi's female officials.Ting Li paused for a moment: "Is the empress not feeling well? Do you want to tell your majesty?"

Su Xi said no, with a very calm appearance, "Let's ask the imperial physician first."

Not long after, Imperial Physician Lu came in after Ting Li, put a white handkerchief on Su Xi's wrist, and began to feel the pulse.Physician Lu took the pulse three times repeatedly, worried that he might make a mistake, and after a while, he stood up and said, "Congratulations, you have a dragon son. You are two months pregnant."

Although she was prepared in her heart, Su Xi was still taken aback when she learned from the doctor.

It's no wonder that she's always lethargic these days, she's listless in everything she does, and she's always forgetting things.Just now in Taiye Pool, when Yu Baotong mentioned crucian carp soup, she felt sick to her stomach, and she had already guessed almost.After sending the imperial physician away, Zhiyan and Zhiyu came up and surrounded each other, "Mother, what is a dragon son? What is pregnancy?"

Su Xi rubbed Zhiyan's head, and then rubbed Zhiyu's head again, "It means that you will have a younger brother or younger sister."

He asked again, "Do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"

The two groups looked at each other, and said in unison, childishly: "Sister!"

Ting Li over there finally came back to her senses, and went out happily, "Your Majesty will be notified right now, servant girl."

Su Xi hurriedly stopped her, met Shang Tingli's puzzled gaze, she smiled and said, "I'll tell him in person later."

After taking a bath, Su Xi changed into a pink-blue crepe blouse embroidered with golden grape patterns. Because the earth dragon was burning in the temple, it was very warm, so she didn't wear much.

She sat on the clinical couch and drank two or three glasses of grape fruit wine. When Wei Feng came back, he saw her sitting there with her chin propped up, her face flushed, and her eyes watered.The moonlight shone on her body from the sill window, and the exposed part of her wrist was transparently white.

Su Xi looked at Wei Feng, walked up to him with her bare feet, pressed her soft body against him, and was about to change his clothes for him.

There was a clear and sweet fragrance on her body, Wei Yan's throat tightened, and he stared at her pink and tender cheeks, "Have you been drinking?"

Su Xi nodded honestly, "Sister Tang Wan is back from Hezhou, I haven't seen her for a long time."

Wei Yan changed into casual clothes, supported her waist with his palms, picked her up horizontally, and walked towards the couch. "It's cold on the ground, let's talk on the couch." He kissed her forehead, "If you miss her, just invite her into the palace from time to time."

Su Xi nodded and said yes, wrapped her arms around Wei Yan's neck, straddled him on his waist, raised her head and licked his mouth.

She had bad intentions today.It was probably Wei Yan who bullied her badly before, and this time she wanted to take this opportunity to bully him as well.

Su Xi put her little tongue into Wei Feng's mouth, imitating the way he kissed herself before, and after a while, the kiss made him breathe harder, and the palms around her became more and more forceful.Su Xi blinked, twisted her waist, gently rubbed him, and said, "Cousin Tingzhou, I have one more thing to tell you..."

Wei Yan turned against the guest, grabbed her crooked little paws, covered her under his body, and held her lips involuntarily.

"I'll talk about it later." Wei Yan said.

"Hmm..." After a long time, Su Xi struggled to stop talking, panting delicately, "But, but this matter is very important."

Wei Yan got up, stared at her with burning eyes, and said hoarsely, "What's the matter?"

The most important thing now is to eat her in one bite.

Su Xi grabbed his big hand and placed it on her flat belly, her eyes were crooked, she was a little happy, "The imperial doctor came just now, and the imperial doctor said that I am pregnant."

Wei Yan: "..."

Wei Yan couldn't help thinking that when Su Xi was pregnant last time, he didn't touch her for seven or eight months. Her fetus was unstable, so he didn't dare to touch her, and he almost didn't hold back during that time.

Of course he was happy to have a child, but this girl learned to be cunning and deliberately teased him so that his whole body was furious, but she wanted to get away.He bit Su Xi's lips, and with a bit of helpless resentment, he asked slowly and lowly, "How long has it been?"

Su Xi said, "Two months."

This night, Wei Yan naturally didn't dare to touch her, but there were plenty of ways to punish her.

The next day when Su Xi woke up, her cheeks were so sore that she couldn't even eat well, so she glared at the instigator complainingly.

With a smile in his eyes, Wei Yan filled a bowl of lotus seed tofu soup and pushed it in front of her, saying, "Young, it's easier to eat this."

Su Xi was worried that he would say something embarrassing in front of the maid, so she quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from speaking.

Take a rest today, Wei Yan doesn't have to go to court early.Because Su Xi was pregnant again, her diet was more meticulous than before. Wei Yan was not sloppy at all, and arranged for two more senior nuns to follow Su Xi and take care of her.

Over there, when He Shunyuan learned that Su Xi and Lu Huishu were pregnant at the same time, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed, she called Su Xi to give her condolences, and gave them many supplements.

Perhaps it's because Wei Yan wasn't by her side when Su Xi was pregnant with childish words. This time she was pregnant, Wei Yan spent almost all of her free time with her, caring for her, indulged her in everything, and obeyed her. .

In the midsummer of the following year, Su Xi finally gave birth to a daughter.
