Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 120 suddenly enlightened

Wei Zhaozhao had met Lu Jianghuai before.

On that day, Wei Zhaozhao went to Jingyuan Nunnery to visit his mother, Yuan Shi, just in time for Yuan Shi to fall ill.The things in the room were smashed into a mess. Yuan Shi hugged a red sandalwood box and wept and whispered.Anyone who gets close to her will be beaten and cursed by her.The two maids who served her were scratched by her, and they refused to keep them to serve her no matter how much money they gave.

Wei Zhaozhao managed to coax Yuan Shi to rest.The two maids were not well served, so she took their deeds of sale and sold them to Ren Yazi, planning to go to West Market to buy two older nuns again.On the way to the West Market, the sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was all around. She heard someone calling for help outside the carriage. She opened the curtain and saw that it was a kidnapper who had robbed the woman's child.The woman chased after him, and the trafficker ran extremely fast, and got into the crowd after a while.

This kind of thing is quite common in West Market. While Wei Zhaozhao felt sorry for that mother, he had no intention of helping her.

The less trouble, the better.

Besides, she can't do much as a girl.

Just as the woman was crying in despair, a man in a navy blue robe rolled over from the second floor of the inn and rushed to the kidnapper with a few strides. After a few tricks with the kidnapper, he was easily captured he.Before and after but an instant.

The woman rushed up to pick up the child and thanked him repeatedly.Wei Zhaozhao didn't hear what he said.Wei Zhaozhao could only see him standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, with a warm orange light behind him, reflecting his tough facial features, making him extraordinarily handsome and good-looking.He is tall, with a modest smile on his face, and looks like a general, but not vulgar.

Wei Zhaozhao stared blankly for a long time, until he bid farewell to the woman and his figure gradually faded away, she suddenly came back to her senses.

After that, Wei Zhaozhao thought of him from time to time.

Later, when she found out that he was the eldest son of General Weiyuan's mansion, she couldn't hold back, so she asked the third aunt to come to the capital from Qingzhou.

Wei Zhaozhao returned to the house, carelessly playing with the rose flowers in the blue-glazed vase.She looked at him from a distance that day, but he didn't pay attention to himself.The third aunt only found out that he was not engaged, so she wondered if there was a girl he liked in his heart?If he saw him, would he like him?Just thinking about it like this made her face turn red.

To be able to marry such a heroic and righteous man, and to be pampered and loved by him, must feel very safe.

Wei Zhaozhao was thinking wildly here, but Lu Jianghuai was completely unaware that he was preparing for his mother Lu's birthday banquet.

On the day of Lu's birthday, General Weiyuan's mansion did not invite anyone, only a few wives who had a good relationship with Lu's.Su Xi was hesitating whether to go, but Wei Feng did not enter the palace today, but asked someone to arrange a carriage, planning to go to General Weiyuan's Mansion.After hearing this, Su Xi quickly walked up to Wei Feng and said, "I'm going too."

Wei Wei went to General Weiyuan to discuss business matters, and he didn't want Su Xi to have any contact with Lu Jianghuai, so he flicked her forehead with two fingers and said, "What are you going to do? Be obedient , wait for me to come back at home. There are many people at the birthday banquet, so as not to bump you, what should you do if you get injured?"

Su Xi pouted and said, "I'm not made of paper, how can I be so easily injured? Besides, didn't Dr. Zhou say that going out for a walk is good for your health? If I stay at home every day, I will get bored." She went up Holding Wei Wei's hand, interlocking his fingers flatteringly, he raised his head and said, "I won't talk to Brother Lu, I haven't seen Sister Shu for a long time. Cousin Tingzhou, just take me there once. OK?"

As he spoke, he looked at him with hopeful, clear eyes. "Is it okay?"

Being watched intently by her, Wei Yan felt a little overwhelmed, and finally held her little hand, feeling a little helpless, and said, "When you go, don't make trouble, and be obedient."

This is what promise means.Su Xi was overjoyed, and said, "I won't make trouble."

The two got into the carriage and went to General Weiyuan's Mansion.Wei Wei went to the front hall to discuss some matters with Weiyuan General Lu Chi, while Su Xi went to the backyard to congratulate the general's wife Lu Shi on her birthday.Wei Zhaozhao and Mrs. Tan Yuan also came together. It has to be said that Mrs. Tan Yuan still has some skills. After only a few days in the capital, she made friends with the general's wife.

The general's wife, Mrs. Lu, met Wei Zhaozhao, and praised with a smile: "The girls in Prince Jin's residence are all first-class and beautiful, which makes people envious."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Xi, without changing his smile, and said, "In the future, Mrs. Wei's little son will definitely be very good-looking."

When Su Xi came in just now, Mrs. Lu was really surprised.After all, Su Xi is already the wife of Erpin County, and the Jin Palace is also a relative of the emperor. Being able to attend her birthday banquet really gave her a lot of face.Fearing that the reception was not good enough, she heard that her daughter Lu Huishu had a good relationship with Su Xi before, so she hurriedly called Lu Huishu out to stay with Su Xi.

Su Xi smiled, but did not answer.

Seeing that there were many people here, Lu Huishu talked to her mother, Mrs. Lu, and took Su Xi to the backyard.

"Young, if you hadn't come here, my mother wouldn't have let me come out... You don't know how bored I am recently. Going out is like being released from prison. I can only embroider, read, and write every day. ...I'm going to get sick from boredom." Lu Huishu brought Su Xi to the Huxin Pavilion in the backyard, looked at the scenery on the lake, and said rather sadly.

Su Xi sat behind the stone table, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and comforted them: "Sister Shu, don't think that way, Mrs. Lu is also thinking about you. In fact, reading, writing and writing are not fun. If you can calm down, you can I discovered the beauty of it." After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't I lend you some interesting books, you can read them? You can learn something and pass the time."

Lu Huishu hurriedly said: "That's all, you can lend me a few military books. If you ask me to read the Four Books and Five Classics, I will be the first and the second." He sighed and said sincerely: "You are still young. Amazing, I can read all kinds of books, and my stomach is full of talents. It's not like me, I can only dance well, and I don't look like a girl at all."

Su Xi cupped her cheeks and said, "What's wrong with being good at dancing? It can also strengthen your body. Everyone has their own destiny. Sister Shu is fine now."

Lu Huishu was amused by her serious appearance, and she became more cheerful, "Thank you for your comfort."

Su Xi said: "I'm telling the truth." She was very envious of Lu Huishu's free and easy spirit, which no girl in the boudoir could learn.

Su Xi had a conversation with Lu Huishu.The maid of the General's Mansion brought several plates of snacks. Su Xi held a small teacup and asked casually, "I haven't seen Brother Lu for a long time. I wonder if he is engaged now?"

Although Lu Huishu was curious about why Su Xi suddenly cared about the elder brother's marriage, she still replied: "I haven't got married yet, and my elder brother wants to go to the border to develop in the future, and I'm afraid that if the marriage is settled early, he may not be willing to go so far away with him. He intends to consider marriage after the border is settled down."

Su Xi let out a thoughtful "Oh", put her hand on her chin, and asked again after a while: "Then what if there is a girl who falls in love with him?"

Lu Huishu stopped eating snacks and looked at her curiously, "Which girl?"

Su Xi didn't say a word, and purposely put it off.However, Lu Huishu is smart, she rolled her eyes, recalling what she said to her mother just now, but fortunately there are not many people here today, so she quickly came up with the answer, "You mean... ..."

Talking about the lack of friendship between Yuan and his mother, not only did he come today, but he also brought Wei Zhaozhao with him.

This is nothing at first, but if you think about it carefully, you can find the doorway.Talking about Yuan's talk a lot today, always praising Wei Zhaozhao's benefits intentionally or unintentionally, isn't this just bringing someone to see him?Seeing that Su Xi didn't refute, Lu Huishu became more convinced of her own thoughts, but she was not happy, and said regretfully: "Young, I'm sorry... I'm afraid this matter will disappoint you. My elder brother just said a while ago, no Planning to get engaged in the capital. I told you just now that he plans to go to the border before..."

In fact, Lu Jianghuai's original words were that he had no plans to get married in the short term.Lu Huishu knew that he still couldn't let Su Xi go, but what could she do?Su Xi is already married to Prince Jin's son, and now she is pregnant again, even if he can't let it go, there is nothing wrong with him.

Moreover, Lu Huishu knew her elder brother's temperament very well. He pretended to be Su Xi in his heart, so he would never marry Su Xi's sister-in-law. How would it feel to meet like that?I am sorry for myself and others, why bother?

Lu Huishu originally thought that Su Xi would be as sorry as she was, but she just blinked, and then she suddenly became enlightened, and said with a smile: "Sister Shu, why did you apologize to me? It's not your fault, maybe their fate has not come yet." , this cannot be forced.”

Lu Huishu breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the Weiyuan General's Mansion, I don't know what Yuan and the general's wife Lu said, but Wei Zhaozhao had a shy and joyful smile on his face.When she returned to the General's Mansion, the corners of her mouth did not come down.

However, Wei Zhaozhao's joy didn't last for a few days, and he couldn't laugh anymore.The Lu family told Tan Yuan tactfully that their family had no plans to get married.After Tan Yuan told this to Wei Zhaozhao, Wei Zhaozhao was quite shocked, and locked himself in the room for a whole day. When he came out, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, and he cried for a long time.

When Su Xi heard about Wei Zhaozhao, although she was a bit unkind, she still let out a long sigh of relief for Lu Jianghuai.

When Wei Yan came out of the shower, he saw her sitting on the couch by the window, sighing, and asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Su Xi quickly shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

A look is a lie.Wei Yan walked up to her, wearing only a robe of Buddha's head green, the neckline was slightly open, revealing a small piece of smooth skin.There was a faint smile on his lips, he squinted his eyes and said: "Is it really nothing, or is it because of Lu Jianghuai who lied to me?"

His body exuded a faint cool fragrance, his handsome face was smiling, extremely beautiful, and the hand holding her chin was slender and powerful, with a dangerous gentleness.Su Xi was admiring his face, when she was so frightened by this sentence that she broke into sweat, opened her eyes wide and said, "You...how did you know?" , so he quickly explained, "It's not what you think, I didn't do anything, I just said a few words to Sister Shu."

As early as the day he came back from Lu Mansion, Wei Yan investigated the matter clearly.He sat on the couch next to Su Xi, pointed his finger upwards, pinched her little face and said, "You really care about other people's affairs."

With that kind of effort, I don't see much concern for him.

Su Xi groaned, covered her cheeks and shrank back, and defended herself: "I just think that brother Lu and the second girl have different temperaments, and if we forcefully get together, I'm afraid it's not good for both of us..." As he spoke As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower. Seeing Wei Feng's complexion was not good, she was afraid that he would be as jealous as before. She rolled her eyes bonyly, clutched her stomach, and fell to the side of Scarlet Se Da greeted her on the pillow, and said, "Hmm...my stomach hurts so much."

Wei Yan saw that she had her eyebrows raised and her eyes closed, with the eyeballs rolling under her eyelids.He bent his lips, knowing that she was being cautious, but still put his hand on her stomach, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
