Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 31 The Sweetheart

After changing the strings, Su Xi hugged the piano and thanked Wei Yan.

Outside the door, a maid wearing a pastel butterfly pattern shirt and skirt walked in, knelt down to Wei Feng and said, "My lord, the princess sent someone to invite you back to the mansion."

Wei Yan's face remained calm, and he said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

The maid then whispered a few words in Wei Feng's ear, and he smiled lightly, with a hint of mockery on his lips, the concubine Xu Xian stretched out her hands very long.He got up and said to the little girl in front of him: "Youyou, if Mr. Gu wakes up, tell him for me, I will take my leave first."

Su Xi said yes, and after watching Wei Wei get into the carriage, he turned and walked back to the piano room to continue practicing.

After practicing for half a day, Mr. Gu finally woke up and came to teach her for half a day.After Su Xi returned home, it was already the beginning of the lights, and because she was a little tired today, she didn't go to Qiu Tangju for dinner, and went directly to Hualu Tianxiang.I heard from the girl below that the fourth girl, Su Lingrong, had not eaten all day today and yesterday in order to resist her marriage with the Qing'an Houfu, and she just fainted from hunger. Paused, the eldest lady remained unmoved.

Su Xi was not surprised at all when she heard the girl say this while practicing the movements.What Su Lingrong did was nothing more than a bitter plan, but Su Lingrong didn't know her mother's character, and once the Yin family made a decision, she would not change it, not to mention that this time it was not like usual, if she didn't teach the second room a lesson, then Her mother's wife is also in vain.

Su Xi said, "How's the situation over there, Mother?"

That girl is Longchun, the second-class maidservant of Hualutianxiang, and while secretly looking at Su Xi, she said: "The eldest lady was a little angry, and someone invited the second lady back, but it looks good, and the dinner at night is the same as usual as much."

Su Xi nodded, relieved, "Go down."

Long Chun nodded and said yes, before leaving, he couldn't help but take another look at Nine Girls.

Usually, Su Xi has Ting Yan and other four maidservants to serve her, so she doesn't need them to be in front of her, so this is the first time that Long Chun saw Su Xi practicing these weird movements.

Although the posture is strange, Longchun feels that it is indescribably beautiful made by her nine girls.The clothes of Nine Girls are also quite strange, the top and the bottom, but the clothes are made of soft scattered flower silk, which fits the body closely and outlines the exquisite curves.As soon as Miss Jiu raised her hands, she revealed a slender and soft waist. That waist could really be held by both hands, and a small section of skin that was exposed was also greasy. The navel hidden under the clothes was small and cute...Long Chun panicked He went out in a panic, stood on the porch and touched his face, it was astonishingly hot.She never thought that she could blush when she looked at a woman, and that woman was her ninth daughter.

Here, Su Xi naturally didn't know what Long Chun was thinking, she took a shower after practicing the movements, and then went to rest early.

The next day, when I heard that General Weiyuan Lu Chi brought his children to visit Old Master Su at his residence, Su Xi didn't take it seriously at all.Since the old man suffered a stroke, General Weiyuan Lu Chi has been to the Su Mansion several times. He used to be the old man's disciple and had learned martial arts with the old man.Later he joined the army, and the old man was kind enough to support him. He always remembered the old man's kindness, and every time he came back, he brought precious medicines that could not be found outside.

But today, Su Xi looked at the girl in the porch wearing a lotus-colored Suzhou embroidered skirt with folded branches and laurel patterns, and was stunned for a while before asking, "Sister Shu?"

Lu Huishu's attire today is very different from that at the racecourse, no wonder Su Xi almost didn't recognize her.She was wearing a Hu suit that day, and she was full of heroism. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a handsome young man.Today she is wearing the clothes of a girl's house, which has lost three points of heroic spirit and is a little more beautiful. When she smiles, she is full of energy, and she is much more attractive than ordinary weak girls in the boudoir.

Lu Huishu walked up to Su Xi, smiled generously and said, "Why don't you see me for a few days, as if you don't know me?"

Su Xi smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Sister Shu is so beautifully dressed today, I almost couldn't recognize her."

Lu Huishu looked down at her own attire, probably not used to this attire, touched her nose and said: "My mother insisted that I dress like this. Let alone you, I almost didn't recognize myself when I stood in front of the mirror today " As he spoke, he remembered something and said again: "Sister Xi's leg injury last time is healed? There was something at home earlier, and it took so long to come to see you, don't you blame me?"

Su Xi shook her head, she didn't expect Lu Huishu to remember this matter, if she hadn't mentioned it, she would have already forgotten it. "It's been fine for a long time, sister Shu, don't blame yourself anymore, besides, you can't blame you for this matter."

Halfway through the talk, Su Xi remembered the horse from before, and asked, "Did Sister Shu find out why the horse suddenly lost control?"

Lu Huishu raised her eyebrows, with a helpless expression, "It's been found out, it's Weng Master Wanping who made people tamper with it." The people of Weng Master Wanping put medicine in the horse's fodder. If the horse hadn't gone crazy in advance, she would The game against Wanping Wengzhu must be lost.

Su Xi frowned slightly, this Weng Master Wanping is really capricious, if one is not careful, it will kill someone.She asked, "What happened next? What is Sister Shu going to do?"

Lu Huishu smiled and said: "What can I do? She is the Lord Weng, so in order not to cause trouble for my father, I can only endure it."

Su Xi remained silent. Although she was angry for Lu Huishu, from Lu Huishu's point of view, she could only endure it.She regretted bringing up this topic, and she didn't want to make Lu Huishu unhappy, so she suggested: "The Xifu crabapple in my backyard is blooming, let me take sister Shu to have a look."

Lu Huishu nodded her head and said hello, and the two went to the backyard together.

Most of the crabapple flowers in the backyard are planted by the Yin family. The Yin family likes flowers and spends a lot of effort to take care of these flowers every year. Now it is the time for blooming. From a distance, I can see the pink and rosy clouds, and the flowers are clusters of flowers.Su Xi asked Ting Yan to serve snacks and tea, and chatted with Lu Huishu on the stone bench under the tree.

Although I haven't known Lu Huishu for a long time, she has a cheerful personality, generous and lively, and the two of them have endless things to say when they are together.

I don't know what Lu Huishu said, but I saw Su Xi holding her cheeks, smiling, her almond eyes were like crescent moons in the sky, and her beautiful and delicate face was full of smiles.Even though the crabapple flowers around were in full bloom, in some people's eyes, they still couldn't match her bright smile.

Su Zhi took two steps forward, turned around and saw Lu Jianghuai, the eldest son of General Weiyuan's mansion, still standing motionless in the corridor, and reminded: "Jianghuai."

Lu Jianghuai came back to his senses, his face felt hot, but fortunately his skin was tanned due to years of martial arts, it wasn't obvious, and he couldn't even see it.He stepped forward and pretended to be calm: "What does Second Brother Su want to compete with me?"

Su Zhi's tone was flat: "You decide."

In the backyard, Su Xi talked to Lu Huishu for a while.

When Su Xi was about to invite Lu Huishu to sit in the flower dew, she said, "I just heard that my brother said that he was going to compete with Second Brother Su. Would Sister Xi want to go and see? I heard that Second Brother Su is superb in martial arts. One person can fight against ten people on the battlefield, who is stronger, he or my brother?"

Seeing Lu Huishu's hopeful face, Su Xi must not have persuaded herself to watch it, but because she wanted to watch it.Su Xi didn't point her out, it just happened that she hadn't seen her second brother practice martial arts for a long time.When she was a child, Su Zhi used to practice martial arts in the courtyard. She sat on the porch and watched, and occasionally clapped her hands to cheer up her second brother, but she never did this kind of thing since she was reborn.

Su Xi said happily: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Then he went to Qiutangju.As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Qiutangju, they heard the sound of weapons clashing inside. Su Xi and Lu Huishu looked at each other, took their skirts up the steps, and walked into the courtyard.

As a result, I saw two people standing in the southeast corner of the courtyard, both holding a sword.Su Zhi was wearing a sky blue silk brocade robe, tall and tall, with clear eyebrows. Lu Jianghuai was standing opposite him, wearing a dark blue persimmon-pattern robe. He was two years old, and upon closer inspection, he was a little taller than Su Zhi.

Su Xi and Lu Huishu stood on the porch, looking at the two people in the yard.

Lu Jianghuai turned his gaze and landed on Su Xi, his heart beat fast, and the movements of his subordinates became a little slow.Just at this moment, Su Zhi stepped forward with a sword in his hand, and he hurriedly took two steps back, narrowly avoiding Su Zhi's attack.I couldn't help but look at the little girl on the porch again, seeing a trace of joy on her face, presumably for her brother's joy, I felt a little depressed.

Lu Jianghuai didn't want to lose face in front of Su Xi, so he quickly settled down and dealt with Su Zhi with full energy.The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, their swords collided, and neither of them lost to the other.

Lu Huishu also knows martial arts, and now she is enjoying watching it with great interest, and from time to time she utters a loud voice to encourage Lu Jianghuai.

After more than twenty rounds, the two were evenly matched.Lu Jianghuai wanted to show himself in front of Su Xi, so he used [-] points of skill, turned his arm and swung Su Zhi's sword away, and with a single finger, the tip of the sword struck Su Zhi's chest.

It's just that he didn't control his strength well this time, and his strike was a bit heavy, only to see a smear of blood on Su Zhi's chest.

Lu Jianghuai hurriedly withdrew his long sword, and with a "thump" in his heart, he knew it was not good.

Sure enough, Su Xi's face paled in the corridor, and she shouted, "Second brother!" and hurried over here.

"Second Brother, are you alright?" Su Xi stepped forward to check on Su Zhi's injury, seeing that the wound was bleeding continuously, her face turned even paler, and hurriedly asked Ting Yan and Ting He to invite Dr. Hao.

Su Zhi held her trembling little hand and comforted her, "It's just a small injury, it's nothing serious."

What Su Zhi said was the truth, Lu Jianghuai acted with discretion, although the wound bled a lot, but he knew that it didn't hurt any bones, it was just a skin trauma.But Su Xi didn't know, she panicked when she saw Su Zhi bleeding, and then remembered how her second brother was injured, turned her head and looked at Lu Jianghuai who was behind her, pursing her pink lips, her beautiful almond eyes were shining with anger meaning.

Holding the sword, Lu Jianghuai began to regret the martial arts contest with Su Zhi. He offended the little girl, stepped forward and said, "I..."

Su Xi stared at him for a while, then turned her head without saying a word, took out a handkerchief to stop Su Zhi's bleeding, obviously unwilling to pay attention to him.
