Chapter 13: Hard to Swallow

Chapter 13 is hard to swallow

Su Xiaosu walked around the street and collected some fun things before returning to Rui Wang's Mansion. All the way back to Su Yixuan, when passing by the lakeside pavilion, I suddenly heard the voices of several maidservants.

"Then Miss Su is here again, I don't dare to drive her away."

"Yes, these days, I came every day, I thought I was coming to see the princess, but I didn't expect to run to the prince's yard every day. The first few times, considering that she was the princess's sister, it was not easy to stop. ”

"Do you say that Miss Su likes the prince?"

"You can't talk nonsense, the princess is her sister, how can she like her brother-in-law?"

"It's not for nothing that sisters serve a husband in this world?"

Su Xiaosu listened for a while, and was about to leave, when Steward Cui's saluting voice suddenly sounded behind him, "I've seen the princess." ”

When the few servant girls gathered around heard Steward Cui's voice, their faces turned white with fright, and they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with trembling voices. Su Xiaosu smiled lightly, "You all go and get busy." There was a pause, "Steward Cui, you stay." ”

After they left, Su Xiaosu said softly: "Steward Cui, you go and talk to the princess's sister and let her come to the princess's room." ”

"Princess, this ......"

"What's wrong? Or do you prefer her to go into your lord's room? Su Xiaosu smiled lightly, "You have been by the prince's side for so many years, you should know the prince's temperament very well." ”

"The minion is going to call someone." Steward Cui struggled with his chubby calves and ran down in a hurry.

After Su Xiaosu returned to Su Yixuan, he instructed Xiaoxue to prepare a bucket of cold water and a bucket of hot water, and then let all the slaves and maids in the yard retreat, and then lay down on the soft couch in the courtyard to rest. After Xiaoxue was ready, she walked up to her and asked, "Miss, why do you want Xiaoxue to prepare cold water and hot water?" ”

"You'll find out later." She smiled lightly and looked at the courtyard door, this Su Zhiyan really didn't know what to do, Steward Cui went to invite her to come over Su Yixuan, she hadn't arrived for a long time.

Just as Su Xiaosu was about to fall asleep, Su Zhiyan came over angrily, glared at Su Xiaosu, who had just gotten up from the soft couch, and said angrily, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Calling you here, naturally there is something." Su Xiaosu stroked his forehead, "Steward Cui, you should step back first." ”

After Steward Cui retreated, Su Xiaosu instructed Xiaoxue to close the courtyard door.

Su Zhiyan glared at her, "Don't close it, if you have something to say, when I'm done, I'm going to go to Linyanju and wait for Yanxi." After speaking, she sat down leisurely on the soft couch.

"Yanxi, you're calling it affectionate." Su Xiaosu smiled lightly, glanced at Xiaoxue, and motioned for her to bring the cold water over. Xiaoxue opened her eyes, not understanding what she was doing. When she brought the cold water over, Su Xiaosu took the bucket and poured it on Su Zhiyan's body.

"Ahh

Su Zhiyan screamed and jumped up, stretched out her hand to wipe the water on her face, and said angrily: "Su Yirong, you are sick-"

Xiaoxue stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes, and hurriedly went back to the room to get a towel.

"Are you awake?" Su Xiaosu smiled lightly and asked.

"Su Yirong, you'd better make it clear to me." Su Zhiyan glared at her angrily, her hands clenched into fists, and she trembled with anger. Xiaoxue took a towel from the room and handed it to her, she took the towel and scolded angrily, "Get out-"

"Idiot." Su Xiaosu cursed, "Xiaoxue, go prepare bath water and let her take a bath." Otherwise, when I get sick with a cold, I won't be able to explain it to my father. ”

"Enough, Su Yirong, you poured cold water on me first, and now you scold me again, you make it clear-"

"Okay, I don't mind explaining it to you. Splashing you with cold water is to make you sober and sober, up and down this palace, everyone's eyes are watching, and you are running to the prince's courtyard with a dead face. If I hadn't taken into account that you were my sister, I would have kicked you out of the house a long time ago. Calling you a fool, is that you really want to bump into this word, you went to the prince's courtyard so blatantly, with obvious intentions, and you don't avoid suspicion at all, it will only make the prince hate you even more. Also, you have lost the face of the Su family. ”

Su Zhiyan opened her mouth angrily, unwilling, but unreasonable, she could only glare at Su Xiaosu angrily.

"How to make a man like you depends on this." Su Xiaosu pointed his finger, sneered, went back to the room, and rested on the bed.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

Su Xiaosu sat on the swing in the courtyard and looked up at the moon in the sky.

Xiaoxue took the meal and put it on the stone table in the courtyard. As soon as she sat down, Leng Yanxi strolled to her yard, followed only by Steward Cui.

Su Xiaosu was slightly startled, and asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, have you eaten it?" ”

Since he didn't shake his head or nod, she had to order, "Xiaoxue, add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

After Xiaoxue finished adding dishes and chopsticks and retreated with Steward Cui, he spoke, "Why haven't you eaten so late?" ”

"I overslept." After she finished speaking, she picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat. After eating a few bites, seeing that he was only sitting and watching her eat, she coughed lightly a few times, "Why doesn't the prince eat?" ”

"This king has eaten it."

Hearing this, Su Xiaosu glared at him, "Trick me? ”

"This king didn't say that he didn't eat, so why would he tease you."

Su Xiaosu was speechless for a while, and began to bury his head in eating. She knew that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and there must be something wrong with her. He seemed to be waiting for her to finish eating, and she slowed down even more, taking more than three times as long to eat.

The evening breeze blows, and the petals flutter one after another.

In the courtyard, it was quiet and only the crisp sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.

Leng Yanxi glanced at Su Xiaosu and stared at her with dark eyes, "Aren't you afraid of flatulence after eating so much?" ”

She glared at him, and indeed she had eaten more than usual. Hearing him say this, his stomach was really swollen and uncomfortable. She was extremely annoyed, he was afraid that he had deliberately come to find her bad luck.

"Lord Wang, shouldn't you come to see the concubines for dinner?"

"Two days after tomorrow, I will be free to accompany you to worship your mother."

"If the prince has other things, he doesn't have to accompany his concubines."

"This king said, tomorrow and the next two days will be free, don't you understand?"

Su Xiaosu screamed secretly, but he was interested in the excuse she made in front of the Queen Mother. How did she know where Su Yirong's mother's grave was, and she was looking for this excuse at that time to take the opportunity to go out to play. It's okay now, with his ice cube face next to him, I can't have fun if I want to.

At night, Su Xiaosu lay on the bed and asked Xiaoxue, "Xiaoxue, I'm afraid I can't remember the past, you tell me, where was my mother buried after she died?" ”

"Youzhou." Xiaoxue was afraid that she would be sad, so she was busy and comforted, "Miss, don't be sad, there is Xiaoxue with you." ”

Su Xiaosu's heart warmed, "How far is it from the capital?" ”

"From here to Youzhou, it's about a half-day drive. Miss, what's the matter, are you going to Youzhou? ”

She nodded, bitter in her heart. Half a day's drive? Oh my God, back and forth, doesn't that mean she's going to have to face his ice cube face all day?

Towards the clouds evacuated, the mist receded, and a little golden light came through the clouds.

Su Xiaosu left the house with a sad face, and Leng Yanxi was already waiting in the carriage.

Just as she boarded the carriage, the voice of the Thirteenth Prince rang out, "Wait, wait." He jumped off his horse and boarded the carriage as well.

"Thirteenth brother, why are you here?"

"Sixth brother, sixth sister-in-law, I will also go to Youzhou and stop by with you." As soon as the thirteenth prince entered the carriage, he spontaneously sat next to Su Xiaosu.

Seeing this scene, Leng Yanxi raised his eyes to look at Su Xiaosu, his dark eyes were unfathomable. Su Xiaosu didn't expect the thirteen princes to sit on her side, and under the pressure of Leng Yanxi's gaze, she had to pretend to sit on his side as if nothing happened, screaming bitterly in her heart.

What shocked her was that Leng Yanxi actually held her slender waist in front of the thirteen princes. She secretly struggled, and the strength around her waist became tighter.

Seeing this scene, the thirteenth prince exclaimed: "Sixth brother, sixth sister-in-law, you don't have to be so affectionate in front of me." ”

Su Xiaosu's face was condensed, and he glared fiercely.

The Thirteen Princes were stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, laughing a little inexplicably.

Su Xiaosu leaned stiffly into Leng Yanxi's arms, at a loss. I only felt that the warm touch on my waist really made her trance. She knew that he was deliberate, deliberately showing that he was very close to her in front of the Thirteen Princes.

However, at this moment, he held her tightly in his arms, but she did not hate this feeling.

She was startled, and was about to break free, he stared at her, and at the same time, the strength in his hands tightened. Su Xiaosu's heart trembled slightly when she looked at him, afraid that he would see it, so she stubbornly raised her head.

Leng Yanxi suddenly pursed his lips and laughed softly.

This smile made Su Xiaosu stunned.

Such a smile, like a spring breeze, warms people's hearts.

It turned out that he still had such a smile.

In a trance, he had withdrawn his smile, and his face was indifferent, as if he had no smile at all, and there was nothing else that could make his emotions fluctuate.

When I arrived in Youzhou, it was already evening.

On the horizon, the sunset is warm and beautiful.

They found an inn to live in, Su Xiaosu and Xiaoxue were in one room, and Leng Yanxi and the Thirteen Princes were in one room. Their clothes were ordinary, not flashy. However, as soon as they entered the inn, they immediately attracted all the attention.

Su Xiaosu glanced around and found that most of the people who came were women. She glanced sideways at Leng Yanxi again, then at the Thirteenth Prince, and suddenly sighed, these two faces, it is difficult not to attract the attention of others.

She hurriedly asked the innkeeper to book a room and hurried upstairs. It was their business not to be in a hurry, and she didn't want to be stared at by the jealous gazes of the women in the inn.

An hour later, Xiaoxue came into the room and asked her, "Miss, the prince asked the slave to tell you to go down to eat." ”

Su Xiaosu stretched his waist, "Okay, I'll come down immediately." ”

After sitting in the carriage for a long time, my whole body was tired and fell apart. She realized that riding in a carriage was also very tiring. With a wash of her face, she went downstairs.

At the dinner table, she clearly felt the envious eyes cast from all directions. I didn't have much appetite because of the heat, and I was stared at by the eyes around me, and it became more and more difficult to get down.
