Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 148 Extra Story: Deyin Baiyu 2
A stage was set up in the backyard, and people from Caiyun Class were invited, who were babbling and singing "Borrowing the East Wind" on the stage.Wei Deyin and Han Sumei sat at the front, and after listening for a while, their interest gradually faded, so they looked back.

Su Baiyu was sitting behind her, two rows away, the person next to him was Han Chen, Han Chen was talking to him, he was looking at the stage, his face was expressionless, his brows were thin, and there was no superfluous expression on his face, as if he was serious Listening to dramas is average.He was still the same as when he was a child, with a sullen face, a cool face, and pitifully few words, unless necessary, he didn't bother to speak at all.

The only difference is that he has changed from a boy to a teenager, his facial features have opened up, and the greenness between his brows has gradually faded away. His appearance is handsome and full of heroism.Han Chen was sitting with him, smiling brightly, obviously as old as him, but looking much younger.

Han Chen noticed Wei Deyin's gaze and thought she was looking at him, Jun blushed and grinned at her.

As for Su Baiyu, he didn't know if he was focused on singing in the stands, or for some other reason, but he didn't watch her anyway.

Wei Deyin smiled back at Han Chen, and turned his head with eyes bent.

After a while, she turned her head to look at Su Baiyu again.

Su Baiyu still had the same expression, when the boy on the other side talked to him, he opened his lips and replied lightly.The stage was noisy, and Wei Deyin couldn't hear what he said.

After a play, Wei Deyin secretly glanced at him several times, but he didn't even glance at her.Wei Deyin pouted, a little disappointed, he obviously talked a lot to his little niece at the [-]-day banquet last time, why didn't he even look at himself today?Could it be that the last time she called him "nephew" in front of everyone, he was angry?But the queen mother was there at the time, and she didn't want to be his aunt, she still liked to call him Brother Bai Yu.

Now that Wei Deyin has grown up, she is a half-grown girl who knows what aunt and nephew mean. Because of this, she is more and more unwilling to be Su Baiyu's "aunt".

There was a short break on the stage, and then began to sing the next play.From the corner of his eyes, Wei Deyin caught a glimpse of Su Baiyu standing up from his seat, explained to the people around him twice, and then walked towards the opposite side.After a while, he never came back.

Wei Deyin was a little absent-minded, and Han Sumei tilted his head to talk to her, but she didn't respond while holding her chin.

"Your Highness?" Han Sumei called out to her.

Wei Deyin returned to his senses.Han Sumei pointed to the octagonal pavilion on the opposite side, and said again, "After the opera is over, let's go and sit there? My brother is going to compete with others in poetry. My brother is very good at writing poetry."

Wei Deyin thought about it seriously, sat up from the chair, shook his head and said, "Sister Mei, I still have something to do, so I won't go, you guys have fun."

Han Sumei was curious, "What's the matter, Your Highness..."

Before Han Sumei finished speaking, Wei Deyin left in the direction Su Baiyu had just left, leaving Han Sumei confused.What is your Highness doing in her backyard?Could it be that there is something urgent and I'm embarrassed to speak up?
This Wei Deyin left the crowd, led the horse-faced skirt, and walked on a cobblestone path on the couch, and walked through the moon cave gate, but there was no one in front of him.Followed by two maidservants and two nuns, they panted and said, "Your Highness, run slowly and fall carefully..."

Wei Deyin looked around, but he couldn't see Su Baiyu.He obviously came in this direction just now?Why is it gone?She was melancholy for a while, and her whole body was gloomy. She was about to walk back with the maidservants and mothers. When she turned her gaze, she saw a person standing beside the rockery opposite. Slack eyebrows, isn't it Su Baiyu?
The color of his clothes was somewhat similar to the color of the surrounding vegetation, and he was silent, so Wei Deyin didn't notice him.

Wei Deyin's eyes lit up, and his languid little face immediately became happy, and he shouted, "Brother Bai Yu!"

Su Baiyu has been standing here, seeing her coming towards him, her eyes are curved, revealing shallow dimples, the trace of boredom in her heart just now disappeared without a trace.

"Why are you standing here? Are you waiting for someone?" Wei Deyin came to him and turned his head to look around.

Su Baiyu turned away and said coolly, "I'm not waiting for anyone."

Wei Deyin let out an oh, and did not pursue this issue.She took another step forward, and seeing that Su Baiyu didn't feel disgusted, she carefully reached into his sleeves embroidered with dark gold patterns, grabbed his hand, raised her head, and asked with a bit of complaint: "Brother Baiyu, why didn't you just now?" Talk to me? Are you mad at me?"

Su Baiyu was startled, "Why should I be angry?"

"Because," Wei Deyin hesitated and said in a low voice, "I called you 'nephew' last time..."

Sure enough, Su Baiyu's complexion was a little bad, and his tall body froze. "I'm not angry."

After a while, he added: "But don't call me that in the future."

As long as he's not angry, he can say anything.Wei Deyin nodded seriously, grabbed his hand and walked back, and said enthusiastically as he walked: "Then let's go back quickly, I heard that Han Chen is going to compete with others in poetry, and they will compete with others when they go late." It's over."

After walking two steps, Su Baiyu was still in place.Wei Deyin turned around, gently tugged at his hand in puzzlement, "Brother Bai Yu?"

Su Baiyu looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to play in the street?"

Wei Deyin's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot about Han Chen, and nodded vigorously without thinking, "Think!"

She lives in the palace all the year round, and rarely comes out to play, and she can't go to the streets once a year. She begged her mother for a long time to come to the minister's house like this.In my impression, the last time she took to the streets was when she was five years old?At that time when Su Baiyu was in school, she begged his sister-in-law to take her to Su's mansion to find him, and then his sister-in-law took her around the street.The streets of the capital are much more interesting than the imperial palace. There are bean cakes, candied gourds, and sugar people selling everything, dazzling.Later, because there was not much time, Huang's sister-in-law took her back in a hurry, but the scene of the busy city in the capital remained deeply in her mind.

Wei Deyin was very happy, "Brother Bai Yu wants to take me to the street? What and where are we going to play in the street?"

Before she could be happy, Mother Jiang coughed softly at the back and reminded: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager told the slaves that you are not allowed to run around. There are too many people on the street, so I am afraid it will be unsafe. Besides, the weather is not good. It's early, you should go back to the palace in a while."

Wei Deyin was like a frost-beaten eggplant, and immediately wilted, but he didn't give up, "Brother Bai Yu is with me, he will protect me." He turned his head to look at Su Baiyu, as if seeking approval, "Isn't it, Brother Bai Yu?"

Su Baiyu nodded, cherishing words like gold, "Yes."

Although he is afraid of trouble and doesn't like to go to crowded places, as long as she is happy, that's fine.

Nanny Jiang still disagreed, she was an old man in the palace and had served the Queen Mother for 20 years, so her words carried some weight after all.Wei Deyin couldn't confront her, and after a while, seeing that Mammy still refused to agree, he had no choice but to give in first and pretend to compromise.

"Okay then... if I don't go, I won't go. Can Nanny go to the front and tell Sister Mei that I should go back? I didn't say hello to her just now. If I leave suddenly, she will be worried." Wei Deyin said .

Mother Jiang knew exactly what she was thinking, but she didn't want to disobey her orders. She glanced at her face and sighed, "I'm going now, old servant."

Wei Deyin called the other two maids, and said considerately: "Mother Jiang is not in good health, please support her."

The two maidservants looked at me and I looked at you, so they had no choice but to follow.

So there was only one nanny surnamed Guan left in front of her.

Guan Nanny is not as strong as Jiang Nanny, but she is also very difficult to deal with.Wei Deyin was thinking about how to push her away when Su Baiyu behind him grabbed her hand.He stretched out his hand and wrapped his arms around her waist. Before Wei Deyin could react, he jumped up and took her off the ground. Taking advantage of the strength on the rockery, he easily jumped onto the top of the wall and rolled over.

Not to mention that Wei Deyin didn't react, even that Nanny Guan didn't react. When she regained her senses, there was no one in front of her——

"Your Highness!"

On the other side of the wall, Wei Deyin's feet touched the ground, and Su Baiyu let go of her waist only after she stood still.

Wei Deyin was taken aback for a moment, and then felt an unprecedented freshness.It's like a kitten and puppy wearing a collar. One day the collar suddenly came loose, and she finally ran out of the house.

Seeing her motionless, Su Baiyu thought she was afraid, so he straightened his face and asked, "Did I scare you just now?"

Wei Deyin shook his head again and again, looking at him with bright eyes, "When did Brother Bai Yu learn lightness kung fu?"

Su Baiyu thought for a while, "When I was ten years old."

The Su family was born as a military commander, and the sons of the family are all martial arts. Su Baiyu has been practicing martial arts with his father Su Li since he was a child, and light work is nothing to him.

In order to prevent Nanny Jiang and Nanny Guan from coming over, they didn't stay outside the wall for long.

In a few days, it will be the Shangyuan Festival. The streets are bustling with activity, and all kinds of lanterns are hung in front of every house.There were also more vendors on the side of the road than usual, selling everything. A new shop opened in front, and a lion dance was in front of the door, surrounded by several layers of people.It was the first time for Wei Deyin to see such a lively scene, and it was extremely rare to see anything. He was about to drag Su Baiyu over to join in the fun, but Su Baiyu shook his head and said, "There are too many people in front, let's go to another place."

Although he brought Wei Deyin out to play, he still put her safety first.

Wei Deyin looked at it from a distance, and after counting his eye addiction, he obediently followed Su Baiyu to spare him.

There happened to be an arched bridge in front of her, so she hurriedly dragged Su Baiyu back and forth on the bridge twice, explaining: "Brother Baiyu, this is called walking all kinds of diseases. When I was young, I was not in good health, and the queen mother asked someone to build it in the imperial garden. There are several bridges, and I say that if I walk more, my body will be better."

I don't know if this method works, but Wei Deyin's body is indeed much better than when he was a child.

Su Baiyu followed her for two walks, and when he saw a candy maker in front of him, he asked, "Do you want to eat a candy man?"

Wei Deyin nodded vigorously, "I think."

Su Baiyu led her over there.The person who made the sugar figure was an old man over fifty years old. He saw two children. The young man was handsome and handsome, and the little girl was pretty and cute. He looked at Wei Deyin with a smile, "What kind of child does the little girl want to make?"

Wei Deyin thought for a moment, pointed to his own face, then pointed to Su Baiyu, "I want to be the same as the two of us."

The old man said no problem, looked at the two of them carefully, then lowered his head, picked up a piece of candy noodles, and began to knead the candy figurine.

After a while, the old man handed the two little sugar figurines to Wei Deyin.Su Baiyu took out his purse and paid the money. Seeing that there were more and more people in this area, he took Wei Deyin to the opposite Xiangshui Lake.

Wei Deyin was very interested, and kept the sugar figure like Su Baiyu, and handed him the sugar figure that looked like himself, "Here you..."

Su Baiyu lowered his eyes. He had never eaten this kind of food since he was a child. In his impression, only Aunt Xi's youngest son, Zhiyu, would like this kind of food.Looking at the sugar man in front of him, he hesitated for a long time, but still took it.

Wei Deyin frowned, with a contented expression on his face.

The sugar man was pinched so lifelike, with two straight eyebrows, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips, exactly like Su Baiyu.Wei Deyin suddenly felt a little reluctant to eat. Looking left and right, he saw that the sugar man's cheeks were melting a bit, so he quickly stuck out his pink tongue and licked the sugar man's cheek lightly.

Su Baiyu tilted his head to look at it, suddenly felt his cheeks itchy, and turned his head away without saying a word.

Over there, Wei Deyin was still feeling emotional: "It's so sweet."

After eating the sugar figurines, they went to the Lantern Street ahead.Su Baiyu guessed the lantern riddles in front, and Wei Deyin carried the lantern in the back. Su Baiyu not only learned martial arts well, but also had profound knowledge. There were almost no lanterns in the market that could stop him. After a while, Wei Deyin couldn't hold the lantern in his hand up.

Su Baiyu took them all, leaving only a rabbit lamp for her.Wei Deyin dragged the rabbit lamp on the ground with one hand, took Su Baiyu's hand with the other, and followed behind him step by step.

Although there were many people on the street, Wei Deyin was very satisfied with the game. Before he knew it, it was evening, the sun was setting, and the sky was gloomy. After eating a meal of ingot wontons in Yuhelou, Su Baiyu took her back to the university Shifu.

Nanny Jiang and Nanny Guan stood outside the door with anxious expressions. They had been waiting outside for two full hours without disturbing the people in the palace. If Wei Deyin did not come back, they would go back to the palace to report to the Queen Mother.Now that Wei Deyin is all beard and tail, safe and sound, he finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

Wei Deyin reluctantly said goodbye to Su Baiyu, and when he got into the carriage, he tugged at Su Baiyu's sleeve and asked, "Brother Baiyu, will you take me out to play next time?"

I just played it well, thinking about the next time.

Su Baiyu put all the won lanterns in the carriage, raised his head to meet her gaze, and nodded seriously, "Yes."

With his guarantee, Wei Deyin was willing to get into the carriage.Before she could raise a curtain to say goodbye to him, the driver whipped his whip and set off.

Back in the palace, Wei Deyin thought that this matter was well concealed, but unexpectedly, he was discovered by his mother.

Although no accident happened, the queen mother still punished her for copying a few pages of the book, and arranged for two more nuns to watch her.Wei Deyin's schoolwork is a bit tight these days, and he still has to learn manners from the nuns, even if he wants to leave the palace, he won't be able to for a while.

The life in the palace was unhurried, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
