Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 118
Little fox Xueci's injury has healed.It knows how to repay its kindness. Knowing that Su Xi saved it, it treats Su Xi very kindly. Whenever it has time, it entangles Su Xi, occupies Su Xi's arms, and seizes Wei Wei's position.

Wei Shizi slipped it out of Su Xi's arms again, and said, "Since the injury is healed, when will we send it away?"

It's not that Su Xi hasn't thought about this issue, but she doesn't know whether a fox has human nature or not. Every time she shows such intentions, Xue Ci looks at her with hurt eyes, which makes her unbearable.She hesitated for a moment, looked at Wei Feng with big and bright eyes, and said, "Cousin Tingzhou, can't we keep it at home?"

Wei Yan said uncompromisingly: "I can't." Seeing the girl lower her head in frustration, he changed his tone and said, "Youngyou, you are pregnant now, it is not suitable to keep these animals."

Su Xi had asked Dr. Zhou this question a long time ago, and Dr. Zhou said that as long as the little fox was cleaned up and down, it would be fine.However, Su Xi thought about it for a while. To be on the safe side, Wei Yan's words were not unreasonable, and the child in her stomach was more important.

She hesitated for a long time before reluctantly saying: "...Okay."

So I picked a day to take a carriage to the other courtyard of Long'an Mountain, and put the little fox Xueci back on the top of the mountain.

The snow on the top of the mountain has not yet melted, and the surrounding area is completely white.Xueci returned to a familiar place, quite agitated, ran around the Huangxiangmei forest twice, felt something was wrong while running, looked back, and saw that Su Xi had already got into the carriage.It hurriedly ran towards Su Xi's direction, but the carriage had already started, and it was slowly heading down the mountain.

Xue Ci chased after the carriage, leaving a series of disordered footprints on the snow.It barked at the back of the carriage, with a sad voice.

It was probably abandoned without knowing why.

Su Xi opened a corner of the curtain and looked back, her nose was sore, her eyes were a little red, she was very sad and guilty.She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, because she promised Wei Yan not to keep Xueci anymore, so she was too embarrassed to go back on it.

It's just that he drooped his head the whole time, listlessly.

Such a lost little appearance makes people look down on it.Halfway there, Wei Yan helplessly lifted the curtain and said, "Stop."

Su Xi looked up at him, her dark eyes filled with puzzlement and hope. "Cousin Tingzhou?"

Wei Yan leaned against the wall of the car, crossed his legs, and said nonchalantly, "If you want to raise Xueci, you can."

Su Xi's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise, "Really?" She couldn't wait to hug his waist, bent her lips, and said sweetly, "I knew you were the best."

This girl has learned to be cunning.She knew that he would do this, every time, if she acted like a baby, he would soften his heart.

Wei Yan said: "In the future, you can't stay with it for more than half an hour."

Xueci can be taken care of by the servant girl below, but isn't half an hour too little?Su Xi discussed: "Is it an hour?"

Wei Yan didn't speak.Seeing that he raised the curtain and was about to tell the coachman to continue driving, she quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I promise you, it will only take half an hour."

Only then did Wei Yan loosen his eyebrows, and said to Chang Hu who was outside: "Go and bring that fox back."

In this way, the little fox Xueci finally stayed.

For the next few days, Wei Feng was not at the house.

Emperor Zhao Yuan had the intention of letting Wei Wei assist the country, and he was busy with all the affairs in the court. He had just started, and he was often busy until midnight.

Su Xi was pregnant again, so she was so lethargic that sometimes she couldn't wait for him, so she washed and rested herself first.During the day, Wei Feng got up early again, and when she opened her eyes, he had already entered the palace, and the two of them couldn't see each other at all.

If it wasn't for the clothes he changed by the bedside every day, Su Xi would have thought that he hadn't been home for several days.

Su Xi did the math, she hadn't seen Wei Feng for four or five days.

I haven't become the emperor yet, I'm so busy, if I become the emperor in the future, wouldn't I even have time to spend with her?Su Xi rested her chin in melancholy, thinking that no matter what tonight, she would have to wait until Wei Feng came back. With such a busy schedule, he didn't know if his body would be able to bear it?

In the evening, Su Xi had dinner, and after taking a shower, she went to the study to pick up a book, and sat on the couch to wait for Wei Yan.

She was wearing an apricot-white thin shirt and trousers, and a cherry-coloured silk embroidered gown with lotus pattern on the outside. After waiting for an hour or two, the moon went up and the west was a little outside, but Wei Yan still did not come back.

She was so sleepy that she even yawned a few times. She couldn't stand listening to Yan Yan, and persuaded: "Miss, you should go to bed early. You not only need to rest, but also the child in your stomach."

Su Xi reluctantly opened her eyes, she was so sleepy that tears burst out.She was very sleepy and said, "But if I sleep, I won't be able to see Wei Feng again. I haven't seen him for several days." She would miss him too.

No matter how Ting Yan and Ting He tried to persuade her, she would still sit on the couch stubbornly, waiting for Wei Feng to come back.Until dawn, Su Xi didn't wait for Wei Yan.

He didn't come home all night.

Su Xi stayed up all night, couldn't bear it anymore, fell down on the couch and passed out.When he was about to fall asleep, he couldn't help but think that if Wei Yan didn't go home, he didn't ask someone to tell him, making her wait all night for nothing... Really.

After sleeping until evening, the sunset glow came in through the carved sill window, making the room dim.Su Xi was a little out of breath, she turned around and found herself being held in Wei Yan's arms.

when did he come backSu Xi blinked, and wanted to push him away, but seeing that he was sleeping peacefully, with a light blue under his eyes, she stopped her hand in the air.Did he not rest last night?Have you stayed in the palace all this time?She raised her hand and couldn't help touching his eyes. Wei Yan was very quiet when he fell asleep, a little more indifferent than during the day, and his eyebrows and eyes were still beautiful.

Su Xi looked at it, and the person in front of him suddenly opened his eyes.

Her hands stiffened, and she shrank back like a guilty conscience.

Wei Yan had just woken up, and probably hadn't returned to his senses, so he subconsciously hugged her tighter, with his long legs pressed against her, and said in a low voice, "I heard from the maid that you didn't sleep last night?"

Su Xi nodded.He said again: "Waiting for me?"

Su Xi still nodded.Immediately afterwards, his little butt was slapped without warning, and she yelled coquettishly, "Why did you hit me?"

Wei Yan immediately rubbed her again. In fact, his slap was not hard, it only used [-]% of his strength.He coaxed: "Next time, sleep well. If I find you stay up all night again, I will severely punish your four maids."

"It's because you didn't come back all night..." Su Xi muttered, and then she remembered to ask, "Where did you go last night?"

Wei Yan sighed, leaning against her forehead and said, "Your Majesty was in the imperial study to deal with government affairs and stayed up all night. I'll help you. If Your Majesty doesn't speak, how can you come back without permission?"

Su Xi understood him somewhat, but still said, "Then you should tell me too."

Wei Feng kissed her cheek, smiled and said hello.Last night, he wanted to order Li Hong to go back to the mansion to say something, but Emperor Zhaoyuan never let him go, so he had no chance to order Li Hong.He thought about the girl's lethargy recently, so she should have gone to bed early, but who knew that she was so stupid, waiting for him all night.

In just one night, his stubble sprouted, piercing.Su Xi has delicate skin and tender flesh, so she couldn't bear his rubbing like this, so she immediately pushed his chin away, "Go and take a shower, and shave your beard, it hurts me to death."

Wei Yan pressed her hands, instead of shaving, he rubbed them on her face again. "How much does it hurt? Well, little squeamish."

Su Xi scowled angrily, "Wei Yan!"

The two messed around on the bed for a while, before Wei Feng went to the clean room to change and wash.Then they had dinner together, Su Xi thought that Wei Feng hadn't had a good rest these few days, so he drove him to bed early.

After the beginning of spring, Emperor Zhaoyuan organized a spring hunt.

Emperor Zhaoyuan led the family in the capital to the northwest paddock, and handed over the affairs of the court and China to the cabinet ministers.That's true, but most of the things are decided by Wei Yan.Naturally, Wei Feng couldn't go to the Spring Hunt this time, and Su Xi couldn't go because she was pregnant with Liujia, so the couple stayed in the capital.

Prince Yu's son Wei Yuan went together.Emperor Zhaoyuan ordered him to arrange the paddock, and he and Wei Feng each had their own tasks.

After that, Wei Yan still left early and returned late.However, the situation of not coming back all night like last time has disappeared.Su Xi knew that he was busy, so on the day when her second elder brother Su Zhi got engaged, she didn't call him and went back by herself.

Su Xi accompanied the Yin family to the Song family in Zhenguo Gongfu, and met Song Keqing.The last time the two met was several years ago, and Song Keqing still had some impressions of her.She smiled shyly at Su Xi, because they were discussing marriage, they hardly spoke.

There were some things that were not easy to say in front of them, so Mrs. Zhen Guo asked Song Keqing to take Su Xi around the backyard.

After the two of them left, Mrs. Zhen's wife, Mrs. Cen, hesitated and said, "I heard that your son is going to go to war soon. The border is a long way away, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to come back..."

Yin said: "Brother Zhi told me that I can come back at the end of the year and catch up with the Chinese New Year. I noticed that there are several good days before and after the Chinese New Year. Things start to happen, weddings..."

The meaning of this is obvious.Wait until the end of this year at the latest, when Su Zhi returns from the border, the marriage will be arranged.Song Keqing is getting old, she will be eighteen next year, this just reassures Mrs. Zhen Guogong.She thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

In this room, Su Xi and Song Keqing visited the courtyard together, and when they returned to the main room, Mrs. Yin was ready to say goodbye to Mrs. Cen.

Song Keqing treats people thoughtfully and enthusiastically without making people feel uncomfortable. She is also a noble daughter of a family, so she feels completely different from Fu Yi.Dignified and generous, without affectation.

After coming out of Zhen Guogong's mansion, Su Xi saw that it was getting late, so she didn't go back to Su's mansion. She talked to her mother Yin's mansion, and went back directly to Prince Jin's mansion.At this time, Wei Feng hadn't come back yet, she was walking on the bluestone path back to Yunjinzhai, and saw two people walking in front of her.

On the left is Wei Zhaozhao, the second girl, and on the right is a woman in her thirties, dressed in autumn fragrance and golden bijia.The two seemed to be strolling around the garden, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.Su Xi couldn't see the woman's face clearly from a distance, and felt that she had never seen her before. After returning to Yunjinzhai, she asked Tingli to ask outside.

After a while, Tingli came back.

It turned out that the woman was the younger sister of Jin Wangfei Yuan Shi, who was Wei Zhaozhao's aunt.

Wei Zhaozhao has reached the age of marriage, and according to Yuan's current mental state, he must not be able to propose marriage to her.Wei Zhaozhao himself was anxious, so he invited the third aunt to the house.The third aunt married Tan Qingtian, the magistrate of Qingzhou, so let's call her Tan Yuan's.

Su Xi can understand Wei Zhaozhao's mood.It's just that Mrs. Yuan married and went to Qingzhou, hundreds of miles away from the capital, and she is not familiar with the circle of noble ladies in the capital, even if she asks her to propose a marriage, she can't find any good marriage.

Unless she wants to marry to Qingzhou.

Su Xi rested her cheeks.As Wei Zhaozhao's sister-in-law, she could have helped her with these things, but when she thought of Wei Zhaozhao repeatedly picking on her, she pursed her lips, so let it go.She is also very vengeful.
