Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 60 Selling the Golden Curtain

General's House.

As the night fell, the lantern light from the corridor shone in through the window. The light was dim and shone on Su Xi who was on the couch.I saw her with her head slightly lowered, her expression focused, and her long eyelashes fluttered occasionally, like two butterflies fluttering their wings.After a while, she moved, raised her head slowly, put down the two legs hanging from the edge of the couch, and relaxed her body, and sat back on the beauty couch again.

Su Xi pinched her two sore legs, she was sweating from the heat in Daxia, and her whole body was sticky and very uncomfortable.She was about to let the servant girl prepare water for a bath, when she opened the curtain and walked out of the inner room, she saw a servant girl in green clothes standing outside the door, talking to Ting Yan, looking a little anxious.

Seeing that she looked familiar, Su Xi thought for a while before remembering that she was the maid who handed Wei Wei the note to him that day.

The name seems to be Qinglu.

Seeing Su Xi coming out from the inside, Qing Lu's eyes were delighted, she didn't care about Yan Yan's obstruction, walked into the room without authorization, saluted Su Xi respectfully, and said: "Miss, I have something to say to you... "

Su Xi looked at her, and complained that it was she who wanted to talk to him, it was obviously Wei Yan who was going to send a letter to him again.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xi said, "Come into the house with me."

In the past, Su Xi wouldn't let her into the house, but Su Xi said those words to Wei Feng today, and lost her temper with him inexplicably. In addition, today is Wei Shizi's birthday, she felt I feel a little guilty, so I let Qinglu into the house naturally, wanting to know what Wei Feng said.

In the inner room, Su Xi closed the window and turned to look at Qinglu.

Qinglu took a step closer, and said frankly: "Miss Nine, Master Shizi is waiting for you outside the back door. The people at the door are all ready, Master Shizi please go out..."

Su Xi was startled, and asked, "Now?"

Qinglu nodded and said yes.

Now that the second door of the mansion has been locked, unless Su Xi has the ability to fly over the roof and wall, she will not be able to get out at all. Isn't Wei Wei deliberately embarrassing others?Moreover, this black light is blind, and he is a lonely man and a widow. He is really embarrassed to make this request, and let an unrelated maid say it... Su Xi was somewhat embarrassed, rolled her eyes, and said: "Tell him, The doors of the mansion are all locked, I can't go out now, let him come back tomorrow..."

But Qinglu said: "Don't worry, Miss Nine, this servant just knows how to pick a lock, so I won't embarrass you."

"..." Su Xi was silent for a moment when she heard the words.

What did Wei Yan think about when he went to the general's mansion to install a maid? Why did he even have someone who could open the lock?Shocked and shocked, Su Xi thought for a while, and before the moment passed, she nodded and agreed, saying, "Go outside and wait for me for a while."

She practiced a few sets of movements just now, and was sweating all over. Although she couldn't take a shower, she still had to change her clothes.

After revealing, Su Xi changed into a cherry-colored pleated skirt, worrying that it would be too cold at night, so she wore a light-colored Wu Luo beige on the outside.As soon as she walked outside the door, she saw Yin Shi leading two big maids, Dan Wu and Dan Lu, walking this way. She was startled and stayed where she was, thinking that the matter between herself and Wei Wei had been discovered, her heart pounding. Get "plop plop" fast.

When Mrs. Yin came up to her, she saw Su Xi's face turned pale, and her hands were icy cold when she touched her, and asked, "Why is your complexion so bad? Your hands are also cold. You don't stay in the house in the middle of the night, you have to go Where, are you not afraid of freezing yourself?"

Su Xi pursed her lips, and said with a guilty conscience: "I lost a sachet in the evening, and I want to go out and look for it now..."

After hearing this, Yin sighed, "Why did you lose something again? You girl, you have lost things several times in a day. If you are so sloppy, are you going to lose yourself in the future?"

Su Xi obediently was scolded by Yin's, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Mrs. Yin entered the room, took out a suet jade pendant from her sleeve, it was the one that Su Xi left on the carriage today, and said earnestly, "Mother Lu found this jade pendant for you, please keep it well. If you lose it again next time, Mother won't care about you."

Su Xi took it over, her mind was not on the jade pendant.She asked Ting Yan to put it away, sat opposite Yin's and said, "Mother, why are you here suddenly?"

Yin Shi nodded her forehead and asked: "Can't mother come to talk to you?"

Su Xi hurriedly shook her head and said no, "It's just that mother is already asleep at this time, why didn't she sleep today? You have to go to the ancestor's place to say hello tomorrow morning. Isn't my daughter worried that you won't wake up..." While talking , while looking outside the door, Qinglu had disappeared, I don't know if she gave up or sent a message to Wei Wei.

This time it really wasn't that she didn't want to see him, Su Xi thought, how could it be such an unfortunate coincidence, just as she was about to go out, her mother walked in from the outside, could it be that God is helping her to stop her?
Yin Shi said: "I fell asleep just now and dreamed of your father and second brother. After waking up, I couldn't sleep..."

Yin talked about her worries. Su Zhen and Su Zhi hadn't written a letter home for nearly a month, and they didn't know how they lived at the border.In the dream just now, she dreamed that Su Zhi was injured, and a long sword pierced straight through his chest. She was so frightened that she was sweating all over. Blessing Su Zhen and Su Zhi for their safe return, they made a circle, and then stopped by Hualu Tianxiang to take a look at Su Xi.

Su Xi knew that her father and second brother would come back safely this time, so she sat on the side to appease Yin.

Unknowingly, half an hour later, seeing that it was getting late, Yin stood up and said: "Youyou, you should rest early, mother will not disturb you."

Su Xi sent Yin Shi outside the door, watched Yin Shi go away, and then went back to the house to look at the clock leak.It's three quarters... Another quarter of an hour will be the next day.

I don't know if Wei Yan is still outside at this time?
Su Xi stood by the door and hesitated for a while. At this time, the night was dark, keys were locked everywhere in the mansion, and Qinglu didn't know where she went. Even if she wanted to see Wei Wei, she couldn't get out of the second door.She had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​going out, went back to the house and changed her clothes, she was wearing an ivory thin shirt embroidered with Ganoderma lucidum branches, and a pleated skirt underneath, planning to go to bed and rest.

Ting Yan has already gone down, she is on duty tonight, and she is falling asleep in the side room at this time.

Su Xi blew out the oil lamp on the three-legged incense table at the head of the bed, and the room was plunged into darkness. She lifted the curtain and lay down on the bed.After a while, he blinked, as if he felt that something was wrong, then he sat up suddenly, took a closer look, and really saw a person sitting at the end of the bed.She was so frightened that her heart was beating fast, and she opened her mouth to call someone, but the other party was a step faster than her, leaning over to press her, covering her mouth with warm and wide palms, and her deep and deep voice came In her ear, "Youyou, it's me."

Su Xi was so frightened that her heart stopped beating. After hearing Wei Feng's voice, she paused and stopped her violent struggle.After a while, she pushed him away angrily and said, "You, why are you in my room? You're still sitting on my bed..."

Wei Yan gently hugged her little hand without showing any signs, so as not to let her touch his fingers that hurt him, half propped himself up, and said in a low voice: "I want to see you."

Su Xi froze.

Wei Yan continued: "If you don't go out, I have no choice but to come in and look for you."

Su Xi explained: "My mother is here, and the courtyard door is locked, so I can't get out..."

Wei Yan didn't mean to blame her, his face was pressed against her soft and tender cheeks, smelling the sweet smell of her body, thinking of her reaction in the palace today.No wonder when she asked about the purse, she looked like she was about to cry, this silly girl insisted that she didn't have an embroidered purse, why didn't she tell him the truth?Wouldn't it be nice to be honest with him?

Wei Yan gently swayed her burnt fingertips, once and for all, like caressing a fragile baby, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Su Xi's eyes were wet, she was frightened into tears just now, now hearing this sentence, she subconsciously twitched her hand.

Wei Yan held it tightly and did not let go, "If the purse is gone, just embroider another one. If the handle is burnt, don't you want to play the piano in the future? If I kiss you again, why would you hit me?"

Su Xi was silent, a little embarrassed: "How do you know?"

Wei Yan propped up his upper body slightly, looked down at her, with dark eyes, "If this kind of thing happens again in the future, don't hide it from me."

Su Xi pursed her lips, not daring to look at him. His eyes were too hot, which made her feel very embarrassed. "I don't want...it's too embarrassing, you will laugh at me."

Wei Yan looked at the little girl under him, and saw that her cheeks were flushed, and her big watery eyes were evasive, but she refused to meet his gaze.The moonlight came in from the window, and the afterglow shone on the head of the bed, making it even more obvious that her skin was snow-like, her muscles and bones were radiant, her black and thick hair was scattered, and her shy and awkward appearance made people feel crisp.There was a slight smile on his lips, and he said, "I won't laugh at you. Youyou, I just want to kiss you now."

Su Xi looked at him, and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth, revealing only a pair of big watery eyes, obviously saying "no".

Every time he kissed her, he would make that sound, his lips and teeth tightly intertwined, ambiguous and shameful... If the listening geese outside heard it, Su Xi would be ashamed to face others.

Fortunately, Wei Yan didn't force Su Xi this time. He sat up on her body, stroked her black hair with his hands, and asked, "Where's my purse?"

Su Xi leaned against the carved sandalwood at the head of the bed, and said frankly, "It's burnt out."

I thought that after saying this, Wei Yan would not ask any more questions, but unexpectedly he said, "Do you still have it? Take it out and let me see."

Su Xi didn't know why, so she said, "Keep it, keep it...but you can't wear it anymore, why do you still want to look at it?"

Wei Yan only said: "Be obedient, let me have a look."

Su Xi pouted, so she put on her embroidered shoes and got out of bed, walked to the rosewood carved cabinet beside her, opened the door, and took out her embroidered purse with a moon rabbit holding a branch pattern from the drawer in the middle.Then he walked back to the bed and handed it to Wei Wei, "Look, it's all burned out here." He pointed to the branch held in the rabbit's hand, where a black hole was burned, with a thumbnail The size of the cover is definitely not enough to hold things.

Wei Yan took it and looked at it for a while, his thumbs twitched on the red eyes of the moon rabbit. This rabbit was embroidered extremely well, with a delicate charm and two bulging cheeks. For some reason, it reminded him of eating emerald jade when he was a child. Su Xi of Bean Cake.To be honest, when Wei Yan asked Su Xi to embroider a purse for himself, he didn't expect her to embroider it so well. Looking at the scorched spot on the purse, his eyes deepened with displeasure, and he recovered soon. usual.He raised his eyes, looked at the little girl in front of him, bent his lips and asked, "Youyou, why did you pick it out of the brazier at that time?"

Caught off guard, Su Xi didn't expect him to ask such a question, her face blushed, and she said stiffly: "At any rate, I embroidered for several days, it would be a pity if it was burned for nothing..."

Wei Wei raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "But how can I remember that a certain little girl said she couldn't embroider for me?"

Su Xi was speechless, she knew that Wei Feng would laugh at her, and what she said just now would not laugh at herself.She puffed her cheeks, trying to take the purse back from him, and said: "I won't give it to you, give it back to me, you are laughing at me..."

Wei Wei held her purse high up, with a smile on her face, and took her into her arms, bowed her head and kissed her lips, "Why do you have to return the things you gave away? Well, you young, what do you think?" Don't you care about me too?"

Su Xi buried her cheeks in his chest, tightly clutching his skirt with her small hands, preventing him from seeing her blushing face, and said softly, "No."

Wei Yan didn't believe it, "Really?"

After a long time, the little girl said, almost inaudible like a mosquito: "...only a little bit."

The smile in Wei Yan's eyes deepened a bit, and he didn't let her go: "How much is a little bit? How does it compare with your cousin Shaoyun?"

Su Xi didn't think about Fu Shaoyun at all, so she continued to bury her head and said, "More than him."

Wei Yan wrapped his arms around her soft waist and whispered in her ear: "Youyou, you must have a lot more."

Su Xi's ears were numb, and so was her body. Wei Yan clearly didn't kiss her, but she felt that her whole body was so soft that she had no strength left.She suddenly thought of something, jumped off Wei Feng's lap, ran to the clock outside to have a look, she was only a little short of reaching Zizheng, and today was about to pass.

Wei Yan asked, "Youyou, what are you looking at?"

Su Xi was worried that his words would be heard by Tingyan in the side room, so she hurried back, raised an index finger to her lips, and signaled him to keep his voice down.She muttered: "At the palace banquet during the day, I heard that today is cousin Tingzhou's birthday..."

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.

Su Xi said: "I have nothing for you. Tell me, what do you want?"

Wei Yan smiled lowly: "Can I do whatever I want?"

Su Xi hesitated for a moment, and immediately changed her words: "It can't be too difficult, I can't do things like picking the stars and the moon."

Wei Yan looked at her with burning eyes, and saw him raise his hand, pointing to his thin lips, "Kiss me."

"..." Su Xi opened her round eyes.

Every time the two of them were together, it was Wei Wei who took the initiative. Su Xi was under his control and had no power to resist. In the end, he could only obediently fall into his arms.Coupled with Su Xi's thin skin, it is even more impossible for her to take the initiative.

Seeing that she was silent, Wei Yan said in a deep voice, "Can't you do it?"

Su Xi pursed her lips, regretting that she had said that impulsively just now, and now she just dug a hole for herself.

Sure enough, Wei Yan said leisurely: "This is neither picking the moon, nor picking the stars, even if you can't do that, why are you talking about my birthday..."

Su Xi gritted her teeth, looking like she was breaking a can, she leaned over to look at Wei Yan's thin lips, and quickly printed them on them.

After all, she is unfamiliar, doesn't know how to kiss, and imitates Wei Yan's usual way of kissing her.Stiff, she pecked lightly on his lips.

After the kiss, she didn't even dare to look at him, turned around and was about to go out: "I, I'm going to sleep with Sister Tingyan."

Wei Yan took her hand, his eyes were dark, he put her delicate and soft body on his lap, pinched her chin, and was about to bow his head and kiss again.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Ting Yan lifted the pearl curtain and asked, "Miss, are you awake? I seem to have heard something."

Surprised, Su Xi hurriedly pushed Wei Feng away, and pushed him into the bed in a panic.

Then after thinking about it, he put down the golden curtain over the bed again.

When listening to the geese coming in, I saw that Su Xi's Babu bed was covered with golden curtains, leaving no gaps, and there was no movement inside.
