Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 109
Su Xi looked at the shy maid beside the bed, and asked without warning, "What are you doing?"

Xue Zhu froze and looked towards Su Xi.Xu didn't expect Su Xi to come back so early, she panicked for a moment, then quickly calmed down, bowed to Su Xi and said, "Return to Madam, there is a thread on the clothes of the son, and the slave is mending."

"Isn't there a special embroiderer in the mansion? Why are you mending clothes?" Su Xi stepped forward, opened the window, and turned around to ask.

Xue Zhu lowered his head and said: "My lord doesn't like others to touch his clothes, usually when my lord's clothes are damaged, it's all mended by slaves and Xueqing."

This is really a pun, not only to show that he is not a "other person", but also to imply that this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and he successfully persuaded Su Xi.Su Xi looked at her quietly, and after a while, her eyes moved down and landed on the clothes in her hand, and said slowly: "Where is the thread disconnected?"

Xue Zhu said: "Return to Madam, it's the cuffs."

Su Xi looked at the pair of snowflakes and bamboo leaves on the cuff, and felt quite an eyesore.She is not the kind of person who can't rub the sand in her eyes, nor is she a narrow-minded, jealous girl, but looking at Xuezhu today, she is not pleasing to the eye no matter how she looks at it.She panicked in her heart, as if something was about to come out, but she didn't want to lose her identity in front of a maid, and said: "This dress is clearly patterned with persimmon stems, why are you embroidered with patterns of snowflakes and bamboo leaves?"

Only then did Xuezhu's face show a strange color, but Su Xi couldn't see the expression on her face clearly because she lowered her head.She said: "My servant thinks that the bamboo leaf pattern matches the color of this dress better. If Madam doesn't like it, I will take it apart."

As expected of Wei Yan's maid, she also avoids the important and ignores the important when speaking.What Su Xi cares about is not whether she likes it or not, but the meaning of the snowflake and bamboo leaf pattern. Why is she embroidering these two things on Wei Feng's clothes? "Snow Bamboo", do you want Wei Yan to take her with you all the time?Su Xi felt disgusted. If she hadn't come back early today, she probably wouldn't have seen this scene. Naturally, she wouldn't have noticed that these two patterns suddenly appeared on Wei Yan's sleeves. Even if she noticed, she wouldn't go to " "Snow Bamboo" is associated with it.

When Su Xi thought of Wei Feng wearing clothes embroidered with other people's names, she felt an indescribable disgust... Besides, Xuezhu's feelings for Wei Feng were so obvious.She used to think that Xuezhu and Xueqing, the two maids, were sensible and reliable in situations, but she didn't expect that the other party was hiding too deeply.

It's just that Su Xi was very puzzled, since Xuezhu had been hiding it before, why couldn't she bear it this time?

After all, Xue Zhu has been too attentive to Wei Feng recently.

Su Xi looked at her, and said in a short voice: "No need, since the embroidery is finished, let it be like this."

Xue Zhu bowed to Su Xi, ready to take the clothes down for washing.Su Xi stopped her and said, "Don't wash it first, let's put it in the room."

Xue Zhu took a look at Su Xi, hesitated and said, "Master Shizi's clothes are changed and washed on the same day. If it is too late, Master Shizi will be unhappy."

Su Xi suddenly remembered what was the other thing she didn't like about Xueqing and Xuezhu.These two people only regard Wei Feng as their master, even after she gets married, they only obey Wei Feng's order.Although I can order them around, but they give Su Xi the feeling... How should I put it, it seems that they are willing to be sent by him because of Wei Yan's face.

Su Xi didn't take these things to heart before, and only thought that she had just married and didn't have a deep relationship with their master and servant, so she seemed a little strange.Now that I think about it, that's not the case.If Xue Zhu had liked Wei Feng from the very beginning, and she married him, how could she get close to him?
Seeing that Xuezhu ignored her words, Su Xi insisted on taking off her clothes.She pursed her lips, and her voice became firmer, "I let you put it down."

Xuezhu paused.Su Xi has always had a pleasant face in front of servants, she is easy to talk and rarely gets angry.Seeing her as a joke now, Xue Zhu obediently put the clothes on the bedside, knelt down and said: "Xue Zhu obeys, please calm down madam."

After Xue Zhu left, Su Xi stared at the brocade robe on the bedside, the more she looked at it, the more she disliked it.She decided to stay out of sight and out of mind, so she stayed far away from the bed, and asked Tingyan to bring her green qiqin, and sat on the beauty's couch by the window to play the piano in front of the yard.

At first, Su Xi felt guilty and upset, and played irregularly, purely for venting.She couldn't hear it herself.Later, looking at Mr. Fan's piano score, I gradually calmed down, thinking that a good piano should not be spoiled by her like this, so I started to play it seriously.

When Wei Feng came back, he saw this scene.His little girl was sitting by the window, her profile was exquisite and beautiful, the sun fell on her body, wrapped in a circle of golden velvet, she looked so soft that it was unbelievable.With a flick of her fingertips, Mr. Fan's music flowed out under her hands. She lowered her eyes and was so engrossed that she didn't even know that she had come in.

Wei Yan didn't make a sound, his slender body leaned on the floor cover, looking at her intently.

After playing a piece of music, Su Xi put away the green qiqin, turned around from the corner of the eye, and saw that Wei Yan had returned.She froze for a moment, then looked away without changing her expression.

ignore him.

Wei Yan maintained that posture, looked at her, Wu Tong smiled faintly, "Youyou."

Su Xi raised her eyes and glanced at him.

Wei Yan said half jokingly and half seriously: "I seem to have married back a piece of treasure."

Glib.Su Xi looked away, pursed her lips slightly, and saw that the dress was still on the bed.When she regained her senses, the matter of Xuezhu came back to her mind. Without saying a word, she walked to the red sandalwood cabinet with a bright grid, wrapped the Lv Qiqin in a linen cloth, and put it back into the cabinet on tiptoe.

Only then did Wei Yan realize that she was in a bad mood, walked up behind her, bent over her waist, pressed against her cheek, and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Su Xi stood in front of the cabinet and broke his hands, but did not.She turned around and looked at him angrily, and said, "let go of me."

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and pinched the soft flesh around her waist, "I just came back a little late, so I'm so angry?"

It's not because of this.Su Xi suddenly felt a little powerless, looked at him and said, "Did your clothes unravel?"

Wei Feng probably didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, so after thinking about it, he nodded and said yes.

Su Xi stared at him with apricot eyes, her thick and long eyelashes fluttering, "I heard that your clothes are damaged, are they all mended by Xuezhu?"

After a while, she saw that Wei Yan didn't speak, and knew that he had acquiesced.She got out of his arms, walked to the side of the bed, picked up the persimmon pattern brocade robe on the bed, stuffed it into his arms, and said: "Xue Zhu has already mended your clothes, you can see for yourself, whether it suits you or not." Let's go." Then he walked around Wei Feng and walked outside the house.

Her displeasure was so obvious, and what a sensitive person Wei Shizi was, he naturally noticed it.He smiled lowly, grabbed Su Xi's wrist, pushed her in front of the red sandalwood cabinet, raised her chin and said, "Youyou, are you jealous?"

Su Xi's dark eyeballs rolled, and she said, "No."

Duplicity of the little liar.

Wei Yan stared at her, as if he wanted to see through her mind. "Don't you care about Xuezhu mending my clothes?"

Su Xi pursed her lips.

Wei Feng said again slowly: "Youyou, you don't tell me anything, how do I know what you're thinking?"

After a while, Su Xi looked back at him, her big bright and clear eyes seemed to be able to speak, filled with many emotions, and finally she drooped her eyelids and said "um" slowly.

She doesn't like Xuezhu mending clothes for him, and she doesn't like him drinking the short-tongue chrysanthemum tea brewed by Xuezhu, and she doesn't like Xuezhu serving him to change and wash.

Wei Wei rubbed her drooping little head, thinking it was a big deal, "If you don't like it, I won't let Xuezhu mend clothes in the future. There is a special embroiderer in the Jin Palace, or you are willing to do it yourself. I mend clothes, and of course I'm extremely honored."

Su Xi raised her eyes to look at him, opened her mouth, but still didn't say what she wanted to say.

In Wei Yan's eyes, this matter is like a piece of clothing, not worth mentioning.But it was more than that for her.What she wanted was not to stop Xue Zhu from mending Wei Feng's clothes, but what she wanted was even more extreme... For example, to let Xue Zhu leave Jinwang Mansion and Wei Feng's side.

But how do you say this?Xuezhu had served him by his side for over ten years, and he suddenly said that he wanted to drive Xuezhu away, wouldn't it be too unreasonable to make trouble?This will only arouse his resentment.

Su Xiliu frowned slightly, and was silent for a while, thinking a lot of things in her little head.She pushed Wei Feng away, walked out in a dispirited mood, and changed the subject: "Yan just said that the medicine is ready, so I'll go outside and drink it." Although her cold was gone, Dr. Zhou said that she would drink it for another day medicine.

This girl has always been most afraid of taking medicine, and every time she takes medicine, it seems like it will kill her, but today she took medicine on her own initiative for the first time, it is really strange.

Wei Yan stood there, thoughtful.

She hasn't been quite right all day today.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the blue brocade robe with persimmon pedicle pattern in his hand.I saw that other places are the same as usual, only the cuffs look like they have just been mended.Xuezhu's embroidery is exquisite, and when something is damaged, Xuezhu will always hand it over to mend.

Wei Yan's eyes fixed on the bamboo leaf embroidered with dark gold patterns on the cuff, and beside the bamboo leaf, there was an inadvertently eye-catching snowflake.He stared at those two things for a moment, his eyes were calm, and there was no wave in the ancient well, then he put down his brocade robe and walked outside.

Su Xi woke up late the next day, and when she got up, Wei Feng was no longer by her side.

After washing, she sat behind the round table to eat breakfast.Looking around, she found that there was no sign of Xuezhu.
