Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 59 The Little Fool

Wei Deyin's residence is located in the Rongyin Hall next to the Zhaoyang Hall. The name of the hall was chosen by Jin Shang himself, which means "to be proud of sound", which is enough to show how important this little princess is in the eyes of the emperor and empress.Rongyin Hall is located in the north of Taiye Pool. After walking for a quarter of an hour, you will arrive at it after crossing a bluestone path.

Those two little guys walked too fast, and when Su Xi caught up, they had already run far away.Holding her skirt, she had to walk two steps faster, her cheeks were flushed with a thin layer of pink because of anxiety, and the seven huang jade pendants on the skirt collided with each other, making a clear and pleasant dingdong sound.She doesn't appear to be in a hurry, the green and juicy little girl is pleasing to the eye even when she runs.

After turning around a moon gate, I finally saw the figures of Su Baiyu and Wei Deyin.Su Xi's footsteps slowed down, and the eight-treasure pattern flying on the skirt also fell, covering the pair of pink satin embroidered butterfly love pattern shoes underneath, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't go too fast It's..."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw two people standing opposite Su Baiyu and Wei Deyin.

One was wearing a sky blue brocade robe, with a warm smile on his face, it was the eldest prince Wei Jichang.

The other one... Su Xi looked at the calm-looking Wei Feng, and subconsciously squeezed the skirt in her hands, feeling a sense of guilt for no reason.After a while, she bent her knees, lowered her head and said, "I have seen the First Prince, I have seen the Crown Prince."

Wei Jichang nodded with a smile, and because he couldn't speak, the servant in blue clothes beside him said: "Miss, please excuse me."

Presumably, Wei Deyin had already talked to them before Su Xi came, and now he raised his head, looked at Wei Wei and said, "Brother Shizi, Brother Yu doesn't believe you made a chain lock for me, he said it was Only Aunt Xi can make locks, I am going to take him to my house to have a look."

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said word by word: "Aunt Xi?"

It was clearly a very normal address, but it was said from Wei Feng's mouth, with his usual unhurried tone, the tone was slow and slightly raised, which made Su Xi's cheeks blush for no reason.

Wei Deyin called after Su Baiyu. Su Xi thought it was nothing at first. Wei Deyin was about the same age as Su Baiyu. She called Su Baiyu brother, and she called herself an aunt?But she forgot that Wei Deyin also called Wei Fen his elder brother, so his seniority would be messed up. Could it be that Wei Fen should also call himself aunt?Su Xi's face was embarrassed, she couldn't imagine having such a big nephew for no reason.

Wei Ji saw that Su Xi looked embarrassed, and the smile on his mouth deepened. He bent down and took Wei Deyin's hand, pointing to the direction of Rongyin Hall, which meant that he would take them back.

Wei Deyin didn't think too much, took Wei Jichang with one hand and Su Baiyu with the other, turned around and looked at Wei Yan, "Won't Brother Shizi go with us?"

Wei Yan stood there with a smile on his lips, looked at Su Xi and said, "Brother Shizi has something to say to your Aunt Xi."

This place is already close to Wei Deyin's Rongyin Hall, and there is no one around, so Wei Yan dared to say these words blatantly.

Seeing Wei Deyin and Su Baiyu walk away, there were only two of them left in the blink of an eye.Su Xi hurriedly walked two steps faster, and wanted to keep up, as long as she didn't get alone with Wei Feng.It's just that when he passed by Wei Feng's side, he grabbed her hand. His broad and strong hand wrapped her whole hand in it, and she couldn't shake it off no matter what.Su Xi said anxiously: "Let go of me, people will see..."

Wei Yan smiled and deliberately misinterpreted her meaning: "That is to say, it's fine if you don't be seen?"

Before Su Xi could react, he led her to the rockery ahead.

Flowers and plants are planted around the rockery, and there is an entrance behind it.Wei Yan led Su Xi into the rockery. It was shady and cool inside, and the space was not big, just enough to accommodate two people.Wei Wei stood in front of Su Xi, and the two of them were inevitably close together. He wrapped his arms around Su Xi's waist and asked in her ear, "Is this okay?"

Su Xi didn't say a word.

The light in the cave was dim, and she lowered her head. Wei Yan couldn't see her expression, but he could feel something was wrong with her. He raised her chin with one hand and whispered, "Youyou?"

Su Xi didn't want him to see her appearance, but she couldn't resist his strength, so she raised her hand to cover her cheek, and said without warning, "I didn't embroider a purse for you."

Wei Yan paused, and after a long time, he asked, "Why?"

Su Xi was very depressed, and it was a pity when she thought of the moon rabbit with a branch in her purse that she had embroidered.She didn't intend to give Wei Feng a purse at first, but she couldn't control herself for some reason, not only embroidered, but also embroidered with great care, which could have been given to him, but because of Su Lingyun, it was ruined.She blamed both Su Lingyun and herself, bit her lower lip, and tried her best to hold back the crying in her voice, "...don't want to embroider."

Wei Yan looked at her steadily, and continued to ask: "Why don't you want to embroider?"

Su Xi didn't continue talking, the finger that was burned yesterday was still aching, she begged a little, "Don't ask."

Wei Yan insisted on asking, but he tried to take away Su Xi's hand covering his face.Su Xi is also stubborn, she just won't let him see, but how can her strength compare to Wei Yan?After a while, he opened both hands, and a pair of red eyes were exposed in front of him. He stared into her eyes and asked, "Youyou, why don't you want to embroider a purse?"

Su Xi was silent.

Wei Yan's eyes were heavy and heavy, and he pressed close to her small face, and said in a low voice, "Or, you just don't want to embroider for me?"

A trace of confusion appeared in Su Xi's eyes, and she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, "What?"

Wei Yan raised one hand, gently swayed her soft lips, his face was not very good-looking, "I heard that Mrs. Qing Guogong went to the General's Mansion to say goodbye, are you going to only embroider purses for that Cousin Fu in the future? "

Su Xi opened her mouth in surprise, she didn't even know this happened, how did he know?That day when Mrs. Qing Guogong came, she thought it was just a visit, but she didn't expect it to come for a kiss?How much eyeliner did Wei Yan hide in the General's Mansion, even knowing about this kind of thing?She shook her head subconsciously, and argued: "No, I haven't embroidered a purse for Cousin Shaoyun."

Cousin Shaoyun.It's very affectionate.

Wei Wei leaned over and bit Su Xi's lips, perhaps feeling unhappy, so he intentionally bit harder, and then heard the little girl softly "Ugh" and frowned in pain.He said, "Then who do you want to embroider for?"

Su Xi couldn't answer this question, so she chose to remain silent.

But Wei Yan didn't intend to let her go, and pressed her step by step: "Huh? Youyou."

Su Xi was forced by him to have no way out, her heart was suffocated, and she didn't know whether to be angry with him or herself, and began to struggle in his arms, pushing his chest regardless, and said anxiously: "I don't want to, I don't want to give it to you." You embroider your purse, and you don't want you to kiss me, and you don't want you to touch me all the time. Cousin Shaoyun knows to ask the old lady to kiss me, but you only know to take advantage of me, so I won't embroider for you... ..."

Wei Yan paused for a moment, his expression a little unpredictable.

After Su Xi pushed him away, she didn't dare to look him in the eyes, turned around and ran out of the rockery quickly.

The reason why Su Xi didn't tell Wei Feng the truth was because she felt it was too embarrassing.He clearly said that he would not embroider the purse for him, but he turned around and embroidered it obediently, and was thrown into the fire and burned.Besides, even saying it can't change anything.

After Su Xi left for a long time, Wei Yan came out of the rockery.

He called Li Hong and said, "Go to the General's Mansion to find out what happened recently."

Now that the palace banquet is not over yet, Li Hong said unsurely: "My lord, are you going now?"

Wei Yan raised his eyes and glanced at him with dark eyes, he didn't say anything, but it made Li Hong's spine feel inexplicable.

Seeing that his eldest son was in a bad mood, Li Hong immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, the villain will go now."

In this room, next to the Taiye Pool, a whole morning has passed without knowing it.After the flower viewing banquet was over, all the families were ready to leave, and the Yin family also bid farewell to the empress.

It's just that Wei Deyin was reluctant to let Su Baiyu leave, and held his hand reluctantly, saying: "Brother Baiyu, will you come to the palace to play with me next time?"

To be honest, Su Baiyu didn't really want to come, the palace is not fun at all, there are too many people, and there are too many rules, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, it is meaningless to do anything.And the little girl in front of him also talked a lot, just now when he went to her room, her mouth didn't stop from the beginning to the end, Su Baiyu was most afraid of making noise, so he resisted the phrase "noisy".After finally going home, he looked at Wei Deyin who looked expectant, but didn't respond for a while, expressing his rejection in silence.

The hope in Wei Deyin's eyes dimmed little by little, and the little hand holding Su Baiyu slowly loosened, and he drooped his head, looking very disappointed.

Su Baiyu looked at her appearance, struggled for a while, and said "hmm" reluctantly.

Wei Deyin raised his head again, his eyes lit up, "Well, do you mean promise?"

Su Baiyu nodded.

The carriage in the General's Mansion was ready, and Su Baiyu had to leave, so Wei Deyin said goodbye to him with a bright smile and contentment.

On the way back, Su Xi was sitting in the carriage, with her eyes downcast, pinching the jade pendant in her hand thoughtfully.

Ting Yan said: "Girl, this jade pendant is so beautiful, why haven't I seen you wearing it before?"

Su Xi said with a slow "huh" and said: "Sister Tang gave it to me. I heard that Sister Yan is really discerning. This jade pendant is polished with mutton fat jade. I heard it is worth a thousand gold."

Su Lingyun on the opposite side raised her head.

Ting Yan exclaimed: "It's so valuable, Miss Tang is really generous."

Su Xi pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't answer.Tang Wan's father was a salt transport envoy from the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, and the Tang family belonged to the Yin family. Tang Wan had always spent money lavishly, but this jade pendant was not given by Tang Wan. Among them, because he likes the jade color of this piece of jade, he bought it at a high price.Su Xi put this jade pendant in her purse when she went out today, and only now took it out.

Su Lingyun glanced at the jade pendant in Su Xi's hand, the jade was lustrous, delicate and smooth, it was indeed a rare jade.

Su Lingyun was annoyed that Su Xi said those words in front of everyone today, letting everyone know that she borrowed jewelry from her, so she didn't talk to her all the time.Seeing that Su Xi casually took out a piece of jade worth a thousand gold, she couldn't help thinking of Su Xi's five-story Liangge cabinet full of jewelry, feeling sore and jealous, and pinched the waist of her skirt.

After Su Xi and Ting Yan finished talking, they put the jade pendant aside, and naturally talked about another topic.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, and Su Xi helped Ting Yan's men to get off the carriage, completely unaware of what she had left behind.

In the carriage, Su Lingyun looked at the suet jade pendant that Su Xi had forgotten in the carriage. The jade pendant was lying there quietly, looking very inconspicuous.After a while, she opened the curtain and looked, Su Xi had already gone far away, her servant girl said outside: "Miss Six, are you not going back home?"

Su Lingyun's eyes flickered, she lowered the curtain without saying a word, and quickly got out of the carriage again, saying, "Let's go."

In the evening, Su Xi went to Qiutangju, and told Yin about losing a jade pendant.

Yin asked her where she lost it, and Su Xi answered truthfully.

Yin sent Mother Lu, who was beside her, to the backyard to ask the person in charge of the carriage, but the person searched the carriage, but could not find Su Xi's jade pendant.Only Su Xi and Su Lingyun had been in that carriage today. Nanny Lu went to the second bedroom and searched in Su Lingyun's room. She really found Su Xi's suet jade pendant in the drawer.

Nanny Lu told Yin about this.

Originally losing a piece of jade pendant was not a big deal, but Su Lingyun knew it was Su Xi's jade pendant, but after picking up the jade pendant, instead of returning it to Su Xi, she hid it by herself. This is a problem with her moral cultivation.

For this reason, Yin called the second wife, Guo, to the front, reprimanded her for not disciplining her children well, fined the second wife for two months, and asked Guo to copy the scriptures every day for self-reflection.

Mrs. Guo didn't want to see Su Lingyun in the first place, but now because of Su Lingyun being punished inexplicably by Mrs. Yin, she is naturally unhappy.As soon as I got back to the second room, I called Su Lingyun to the main room, slapped her involuntarily, and cursed: "You don't have the nerve to take something that is not yours? I've lost all my face. You have read all the books in your dog's stomach? You don't even know who you are, are you worthy of that jade pendant? There are also a few kinds of jewelry, why didn't I know that there was such a hairpin in the house? You stole it too?"

Su Lingyun covered her cheeks, with tears in her eyes, she shook her head and said, "No...it was given to me by Sister Xi."

Mrs. Guo snorted coldly, "For no reason, why did she give you things? The people in the big house didn't have any kind intentions, Madam Liu, go to her room, find out her few jewelry, and throw them all away for me. gone."

Nanny Liu is Guo's dowry mother.

Grandma Liu said yes, and led the two maids to Su Lingyun's room.

Su Lingyun hurriedly tried to stop her, and said anxiously, "No, ma'am..."

How could Mrs. Guo listen to her entreaties? After Mammy Liu found out those hairpins and earrings, she threw them into the stove in the kitchen without blinking.Turning around and seeing Su Lingyun's face pale with distress, she finally felt better, but said: "Ma'am said that I didn't teach you well, so I indulged your greed. From tomorrow on, everything in Yang's house and you will be kept simple. Go to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures three times a day, and show it to me after copying, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish copying."

Yang is Su Lingyun's biological mother.

Mrs. Yin fined the entire second wife's monthly schedule, and the second wife will have to live in a hurry for the next two months. All of this was caused by Su Lingyun, so Mrs. Guo will naturally take the knife from Su Lingyun.As for copying the scriptures, Mrs. Guo had to copy them herself, so how could Su Lingyun be missing?

That night, Su Xi heard about the second bedroom from Ting Yan, and she pursed her lips with an expression of "I knew it would be like this".

Ting Yan smeared medicine on her fingertips, and snorted angrily: "Miss Six deserves it... The girl gave her a hairpin with good intentions, and she even threw your purse on purpose. The slave looks so angry If you are dead, you have a good temper and endured her for so long. If you were a slave, you would fight with Miss Six when you rolled up your sleeves."

Su Xi was amused by her tone, and finally a smile appeared on her small face.

Ting Yan sighed, and said: "If you hadn't lost the jade pendant this time, Miss Six would not have been taught a lesson."

Su Xi blinked, she didn't tell Ting Yan that she left the jade pendant on the carriage on purpose.

Since Su Lingyun was able to take her purse without asking for it, she must not let go of a jade pendant worth thousands of gold.

In fact, Su Lingyun really answered that sentence——

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

This end, Prince Jin's Mansion.

Sitting in the study, Wei Yan listened to a maid wearing an autumn-colored skirt report on the situation at that time.

After the maid finished speaking, Wei Yan was silent for a while, frowning slightly, and after a long time, he asked slowly, "How is her hand?"

The maid's name is He Xiang, and she is an unremarkable third-class maid in the second room. "Returning to my son, the servants are not around to serve, and they haven't seen clearly the injury on Miss Jiu's hand. It's just that the big maid next to Miss Jiu looks very nervous..."

Wei Yan remained expressionless and didn't ask any more questions.When he met Su Xi today, it's no wonder that she felt something was wrong. As soon as he held her hand, her brows frowned.He thought she was afraid of being seen, so she didn't like his touch, but he didn't expect... That little fool, does she not want his hands anymore?

Wei Yan stood up from the chair and strode out.

Li Hong hurriedly chased after him and said, "My lord, it's so late, where are you going?"

Wei Yan didn't answer, he had already walked away.
