Chapter 34: Winter Clothes

Early the next morning, Su Zi had a headache on his right side, but found that Su Wanxi was still sleeping next to him, for the memory of last night, he only had scattered fragments, and he couldn't remember what he said to her, only remembering that her eyes were extremely gentle last night, and then he was confused......

Su Ziyou let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead with remorse.

Su Wanxi also woke up, saw Su Ziyou's remorseful and angry appearance, and wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "Do you really hate me so much?"

When Su Ziyou heard this, he turned his head and said in a calm tone: "Go out." ”

Su Wanxi hooked her lips and smiled, got up slowly, stretched her waist, slowly got out of bed, and began to dress. Fortunately, this is in Su Mansion, and the people in the entire mansion know their identity, even if something happens with Su Ziyou, no one will feel strange.

"Brother, thank you. She dressed, spoke lightly, and left.

Su Ziyou looked at her departing back in a daze, why did she thank herself...... Su Ziyou slammed the wall hard, his brows furrowed. Once, he tried his best to deny and even stifle the feelings he had for her, he deceived himself and didn't want to believe it, but since he sent her to the palace, that feeling has grown like crazy. Now, even if he admits that he is moved, what if the country is gone, how can he settle down...... If you want to blame it, blame yourself for why he was born in the royal family, why he became the only orphan, how many times, he would rather die in the war with the rest of the people.

Su Wanxi stepped out of the room, and Qing'er and Su Zhong were still guarding outside.

Seeing her come out, Qing'er hurriedly greeted her: "Niangniang, why did you talk to the adults for a night? ”

Su Wanxi held her forehead, and the entire Su Mansion ...... I forgot that there is also Qing'er, but Qing'er's girl is simple-hearted, and it's okay.

"It's okay, let's go. ”

Su Wanxi took Qing'er back to the room, but she was a little thoughtful in her heart. Su Ziyou is already deeply in love with himself, if this is the case, everything will be much simpler......

After three days of provincial relatives, after that night and Su Ziyou had such a thing, the next few days were still the same as usual, he always did not smile, but the gaze on Su Wanxi gradually increased.

On the day she returned to the palace, she was personally escorted by Su Ziyou and sent her back to Fuhui directly.

At the door of Fu Yuan's residence, Su Wanxi was dressed in purple and looked at Su Ziyou.

"Brother, I'm sorry you sent me back. Su Wanxi smiled lightly.

Su Zi's right brow never stretched, and said, "Live well by yourself, otherwise what use do you want?"

Su Wanxi secretly laughed in her heart, why are all men in the world so cowardly? Shen Jingyuan, Su Ziyou, they will never have no feelings for themselves, but they are all taboo and evasive for various reasons. Thinking about it this way, Shen Wen is already a good person in the world, but what if he is mediocre and incompetent now? At least he doesn't care about the world's eyes, love is love, and disgust is disgust.

But if you're cowardly, aren't you......

Su Wanxi thought a little distracted.

"Do you hear that?" Su Ziyou was slightly gloomy.

Su Wanxi came back to her senses and said with a faint smile: "I will." ”

Su Ziyou's eyes were cold, and he wanted to leave, but Su Wanxi hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute." ”

"What?"

Su Wanxi's eyes were bright, and she looked at him and said, "Take care of you Feng Po, and take care of yourself." ”

Su Zi's right heart trembled, looked at Su Wanxi's face and stopped talking, and finally turned around and left.

***

In an instant, the autumn leaves are scattered, and in the blink of an eye, winter has arrived.

In the early winter, the grass and trees are sluggish, the cold wind goes back and forth in the imperial city, the air is dry, and although the climate is cold, it has not yet snowed.

In order to comfort the harem, Shen Wen specially explained to the queen and asked her to prepare a lot of winter clothes, and each person raised the monthly salary, and the concubines in the harem were happy. The queen also took this opportunity to call many concubines to gather in Ciyuan Palace.

When Su Wanxi received the queen's invitation, she didn't want to give her this face, but she had nothing to do in the middle of Furui, so it didn't hurt to go over and take a look.

Due to the cold weather, Su Wanxi took a sedan chair away, and a fire was placed in the sedan chair, but the small space was very warm. It was noon, and when I opened the curtain and looked down, I just saw the ministers retreating from the court and going outside the palace one after another. Wanxi looked at the crowd and noticed a few quite familiar faces, those few people, she had seen them when she was in Su Mansion, and she thought that Su Ziyou must have gathered forces in the court......

Su Wanxi thought to herself, chuckled and slowly lowered the curtain, took a slight breath and leaned against the sedan wall, looking at the red fire and thinking a little.

Ciyuan Palace is very lively, many concubines are invited to come, the queen burned a lot of fires in the main hall, and then personally sent new winter clothes to others. When Wanxi entered, she happened to see the queen take the purple winter coat and go towards Qiu Zi.

"Look at this purple, it is very compatible with Qiu Shunrong. The queen's eyebrows were kind, and her smile was very kind.

"It's beautiful. Concubine Bai Yue also said on the side.

"It also matches my sister's name. Su Wanxi said lightly, slowly walked in front of the queen and Qiu Zi, and didn't want to salute when she saw the queen.

The queen smiled unhindered: "That's right, my sister said that I didn't think about it." My sister came from Fuyuan from afar, so let's sit down and drink a cup of tea to warm up. ”

Bai Yue smiled faintly on the side, watching Su Wanxi silent.

Qiu Zi saw that Wanxi didn't want to salute, her face was cold, and she deliberately didn't look at her, thinking about what Concubine Chen had said to her, and her heart became more and more troubled.

"Thank you sister for your concern. Su Wanxi smiled lightly and walked straight towards the vacant seat.

Su Wanxi sat down, only to see that the queen took Qiu Zi to the other side, gave another winter coat, and then said a few words of greeting, looking at Qiu Zi's appearance, she was moved a lot by the queen's concern.

"Isn't that your little sister?" a mocking voice rang in his ears inappropriately.

Su Wanxi looked up, it was Concubine Chen who spoke, she was still wearing a golden-threaded cloak today, and it seemed that she had just arrived.

"What does this have to do with you?" Su Wanxi didn't laugh angrily, but she thought a little in her heart, Concubine Chen has always been arrogant to the outside world, and it is strange that she is willing to come for a winter coat today.

Concubine Chen took off her cloak and handed it to the palace maid behind her, then slowly sat down on the chair next to Wanxi, and said with a smile unhurriedly: "My sister is so favored, but it's a pity that my sister is alone in the empty boudoir." She deliberately raised her voice, a shrill voice that was likely to be heard by the entire hall.

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the main hall cooled down in an instant, everyone's voices became quieter, and in the end, only the imminent gunsmoke of Concubine Chen and Su Wanxi was left in the air.

And Qiu Zi, who was chatting with the queen on the side, changed his face greatly when he heard this, and stood in place with his head down, his hands clenched into fists.

Su Wan looked at Concubine Chen with a cold face, and didn't know how to refute for a while. Concubine Chen really underestimated herself, found the gap at a glance, and then inserted a needle.

"Concubine Chen's sister is here too!" the queen said happily as if she had nothing to do, took two winter clothes, and hurried in the direction of Concubine Chen and Su Wanxi.

Seeing this, the others also pretended to be nothing and started chatting with each other. In the harem, many women admire this queen, who has been unfavored all year round, but she is generous, even Concubine Chen and Concubine Su are rude to her, and she can be regarded as a queen. But it is her generosity and knowledge that make the emperor impeccable to her, and the queen's position is stable.

"It's good that my sister is here. You see, this is specially chosen by this palace for the two of you. The queen said, handing over the winter clothes to Concubine Chen and Su Wanxi respectively, which also eased the tension in the air.

Su Wanxi still had a shallow smile, but she was in an extremely bad mood, Concubine Chen was such a sharp woman, she was really a headache. "Thank you, sister, I still have something to do in the middle of the house, so I'll leave first. After that, without waiting for the queen and Concubine Chen to say anything, Wanxi handed over the winter clothes to Qing'er and turned to leave.

Back in Fuhui Ju, Wan Xi lay on the soft couch with a cold face, this concubine Chen, if it weren't for her lack of power now, and she hadn't found out her details, otherwise she would have been eradicated earlier, why would she be so eye-catching today!

"Don't be angry, you look at the clothes, they're pretty beautiful. After a long time, Qing'er saw that Wanxi's brows had been frowning, so she dared to step forward and say a few words.

When Su Wanxi heard this, she took the clothes from Qing'er's hand and said slowly: "The clothes are good." A thought flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly instructed Qing'er: "Later, you will go to Ciyuan Palace again, it is estimated that everyone has dispersed at that time, you see if the queen has any extra winter clothes, just say that Fuyuan is too cold, and ask her to take a few more for me." ”

"Yes. Qing'er replied happily, thinking that Su Wanxi was very good to herself on weekdays, so she wanted to ask the queen for a few more pieces and then reward herself, so she took the order happily and ran to Ciyuan Palace after a while.

Qing'er brought back three more winter coats, and told Su Wanxi that most of the people had left when she went, but she saw that Concubine Chen and Qiu Shunrong were still in Ciyuan Palace, and when Qing'er went in, she happened to hear the words "Huafeng Pavilion".

Coupled with Su Wanxi's own, a total of four winter clothes, she sent Qing'er to give the four clothes to the wives of the four people, including the Hanlin Bachelor, the Captain of the Upper Cavalry, the Captain of the Light Car, and the Doctor Tongfeng, and she didn't say the reason, she just asked Qing'er to send them secretly, and she didn't want to publicize them.

Qing'er accepted the order in disappointment, but she still completed it seriously, after all, Wanxi is the master, and what she said is irrefutable as a subordinate. However, Su Wanxi saw Qing'er's thoughts, and gave Qing'er a few hundred taels of silver and asked her to prepare some winter clothes for the palace people in Fuyuanju.

Su Wanxi is almost unapproachable in the eyes of the palace people, but now in one fell swoop, she has improved her status in the eyes of the palace people, and few people in the harem still think about the minions, and the people in the middle of Fu Hui are grateful to her.

Su Wanxi will do this more than not for Qing'er, but thinking that now that her power is weak, winning people's hearts is the key, in short, Su Ziyou also has this thing of silver, and it doesn't hurt for her to use some.

Speaking of Su Ziyou, Su Wanxi was a little thoughtful in her heart.

But the thing she cares about the most now is what Qing'er just told her. Everyone dispersed, but only Concubine Chen and Qiu Zi remained.

Concubine Chen has always looked down on the queen, and she didn't take her seriously, it was very strange to go to Ciyuan Palace today, and she stayed until the end. As for Qiu Zi, she has never been fortunate and is now inconspicuous in the palace, but today the queen cares for her. Su Wanxi thought about it, there must be a conspiracy in this.

After Qing'er left, Wanxi hurriedly found someone to summon Ruyue.

Ruyue also went to Ciyuan Palace to receive winter clothes, but when Ruyue went, Su Wanxi had already left, so she couldn't see each other.

"Wanxi, you are in such a hurry to call me over, but there is something urgent. Ruyue was delicate, and when she saw Su Wanxi, she opened her mouth and asked.

Su Wanxi sat on the couch and said, "You're still smart." You also went to Ciyuan Palace today, right?"

Ruyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "Is it for Qiu Zi?"

"You also found the clue?" Su Wanxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Ruyue, thinking that she was far smarter than she imagined.

Ruyue nodded slightly: "I'm afraid that someone wants to use her." ”

Su Wanxi and Ruyue tacitly agreed, although Ruyue was smart, Wanxi never told her about herself, first, she knew that there was no sisterhood in this world, and second, she understood the evil roots of human nature, Ruyue still smiled at herself today, and she didn't know if she had hidden a knife in her smile over time.

Su Wanxi thought about it, and told Ruyue to bring gifts to visit Qiu Zi, so that she was once a sister, although Qiu Zi resented herself, her attitude towards Ruyue was not too bad. Ruyue understood that Su Wanxi's intention was to let herself go to Qiu Zi to ask questions and see what tricks the queen was playing.

There was another thing that made Su Wanxi slightly worried, Qing'er heard the word "Huafeng Pavilion", Huafeng Pavilion is a place where Shen Wen likes to drink and have fun on weekdays, and the three of them don't know what they mean when they mention that kind of place.
