130. Children love long(1/2)
After the imperial edict was delivered, Su Xi and Wei Xi went to the palace, changed the jade letter, and officially met the emperor and the empress. Empress Liu gave Su Xi a pair of bracelets with gold inlaid four dragons playing with pearls. She spoke kindly and approachable, and had no high airs. Perhaps because Wei Jichang had not yet married, the empress treated her like a daughter-in-law, holding her hand and talking about family matters for a long time until the dusk was over, and she was not allowed to go back.
Emperor Zhaoyuan also had something to explain to Wei Shi.
When Su Xi came out of Zhaoyang Palace, Wei Qing came to pick her up from the imperial study room. Su Xi took a small step, walked over, crawled into his sleeve, held his hand, raised his face and asked, "What did Your Majesty tell you?"
Wei Qing pinched her palm, and she was frightened every time she saw her walking with her big belly. "Your Majesty asked me if I wanted to move into the East Palace." After that, he paused, and glanced at the girl beside her. Seeing her staring at her, she smiled silently and continued, "I said you are pregnant, and moving around is probably not very convenient, so I will postpone it for the time being."
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief silently. Although the palace was good, she was not as comfortable as outside. It was very boring after a long time. Today she just talked with the Queen and felt a little restrained. Fortunately, she could tolerate it for only a short while.
Seeing her little appearance, Wei Lun didn't know what she was thinking, so he scratched her slight nose. "I'll start to dislike her now. What should I do if I become a queen in the future?"
Su Xi was slightly stunned. She forgot this level. When Wei Xu became the emperor in the future, wouldn’t she have to live in the palace every day? Perhaps everything was taken for granted, she didn’t even count herself. But she soon came back to her senses, took Wei Xu’s arm, pursed her pink lips, "That’s different."
Wei Qing calmly said "Oh" and asked leisurely: "Where is different?"
Su Xi thought for a moment, quietly let go of Wei Qing's hand, covered his little face, worried that he would twist himself: "Have you heard a word from a cousin Tingzhou?"
Wei Qing raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
Su Xi blinked and said seriously: "Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, and marry a dog and follow the dog."
Sure enough, Prince Wei's face darkened, and then he couldn't help but smile, trying to teach the girl a lesson, waved and said, "Young, come here."
Su Xi's head was shaking like a rattle, but she learned it smartly, "No."
Wei Xu asked her: "Who do you say is a chicken and who is a dog?"
Su Xi's black eyes turned around and did not take the bait, defending herself: "I mean, I will be wherever you are in the future."
Love words sound nice. But Prince Wei just took this trick, held her slender wrist and brought her to the front, lowered his head, bit her nose, and said with a smile, "Or what else do you want to go?"
Su Xi pushed his face and said coquettishly: "This is the palace."
Prince Wei disagreed, "Can't the palace kiss his wife?"
He was thick-skinned, and Su Xi had already learned it. He couldn't tell him at this moment, but fortunately he was about to leave the palace gate and there were no people around. Su Xi gave Wei Lu a blank look and quickly led him out so that people would not make a joke.

This is the palace of Prince Yu.
After the news of Li Chu came out, Wei Yuan sat alone in the study with a calm face. The atmosphere in the room was so depressing and gloomy that no one dared to go up and get angry, for fear that he would be vented if he accidentally.
After a while, a loud noise came from the room. The servant outside the study was shocked. You looked at me and I looked at you, and you all saw panic in the other person's eyes.
However, this is not over yet.
Wei Yuan kicked over the red sandalwood book case and smashed the things on Duobao Pavilion completely, his face so gloomy that it seemed that ink could drip out.
There are people who are not afraid of death. When Bai heard that Wei Yuan was in a bad mood, he made several plates of fragrant and delicious snacks and put them in a red-woven lotus pattern food box and sent them over. She was charming, and because she had given birth to two children, her breasts were bulging, her figure was well maintained, and her waist was as slender as she had never given birth to a child. On weekdays, Wei Yuan went to her yard the most often.
At this moment, she twisted to Wei Yuan, placed the food box on the embroidery pedestal next to it, and said softly: "What made the prince so angry? I made a few snacks. Prince will try it and calm your anger. It's not worth it if you get angry."
A while ago, Wei Yuan gave up Fu Yi, and Wei Yuan loved her, she thought she had the opportunity to be upright and became more and more attentive in front of Wei Yuan.
Unfortunately, he hit the gun this time. Wei Yuan was unhappy and had no time to pay attention to her. He sat on the chair and said coldly: "Get out."
Bai Shi was not able to see her. Wei Yuan said so clearly. She still took the initiative to lift the food box and brought out a plate of white and delicate pastries, saying: "This is the lotus root powder osmanthus cake I made myself. The prince likes to eat this the most on weekdays. I have made more..."
Before he finished speaking, he looked up and met Wei Yuan's cold eyes. Wei Yuan said, "I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
Bai Shi was slightly stunned, and was shocked by him, but she insisted: "I am just thinking about it..."
Wei Yuan stretched out his hand, grabbed her neck straight, and threatened with clouds on his face, "I'll say it again, if you don't want to die, get out of here."
Bai's face turned pale, and he had never seen him look so manic.
The fact that the founding of the crown prince had not spread yet, so the deep-bouded woman like Bai naturally did not know why Wei Yuan was angry. She broke free from Wei Yuan's hand and knocked all the pastries over. She did not dare to say another word, and escaped from the study in a panic.
That night, Wei Yuan sat in the study all night.
There was a dim oil lamp in the room, and no one knew what he was thinking inside.
*
After the founding of the crown prince, everything seemed to have not changed much, but there were more officials visiting the Jin Palace than before.
Emperor Zhaoyuan ordered the Wei Shi to assist the country and the government, and all the things were directly handed over to Wei Shi. Emperor Zhaoyuan was old and gradually lost his will. He wanted to abdicate earlier and enjoy his old age with Empress Liu.
Su Xi recalled that Emperor Zhaoyuan seemed to abdicate at the beginning of next year, and Wei Lu successfully ascended the throne soon.
At that time, Wei Lu was a cousin who was unfamiliar and far-reaching to Su Xi, and she had never paid attention to him at all. The only little involvement was also a memory that was not very pleasant when she was a child. Who knew that if she lived a lifetime, this person would be her husband.
And at that time she would never have thought that the Prince Wei, who was as bright as the breeze and moon, was "bad and wilted" in private...
Su Xi was distracted, and suddenly a colorful ball of powder rushed over and shouted sweetly: "Aunt Xi."
Wei Deyin leaned down with her round little face and lay on Su Xi's lap, looking at her hopefully, "Deyin wants to go out to play, can you take me out of the palace?"
If there is anything else to change, it is that Su Xi is moving more diligently in the palace. Every two or three days, she will come to Zhaoyang Palace to pay tribute to Empress Liu. After all, Wei Xi has been adopted by the emperor and empress, and the filial piety that should be fulfilled must be fulfilled. It just so happens that Wei Xi is also in the palace from morning to night. After Su Xi comes out of Zhaoyang Palace, she usually waits for him for a while and the two of them return to the Jin Palace together.
Today is another day to pay tribute. When Empress Liu heard Wei Deyin's name, she frowned and said seriously: "Deyin, you can't call it 'Aunt Xi' anymore, you should call it 'Emperor Sister'. If you call it irrelevantly in the future, your mother will punish you."
Empress Liu noticed the question of Wei Deyin's name before, but she was young and didn't take it seriously at that time. Now that Wei Qing has adopted her, she can't let her scream. What kind of style does her aunt and brother have become? She is so crazy about her seniority.
Wei Deyin pouted and muttered: "But that's what Brother Bai Yu calls..."
The Empress did not indulge her again this time and said clearly: "That's because your seniority is higher than that of Brother Bai, and you can't call Brother Bai Yu anymore in the future. Brother Bai should call you 'Aunt' when you see you."
Wei Deyin's mind was so twitching that she could not make a mistake. She opened her eyes and thought for a long time, "What's my name when I'm Brother Bai Yu?"
The Queen was silent for a moment and said, "Nephew."
Su Xi couldn't help but chuckled and touched Wei Deyin's little head. It was hard to imagine whether Brother Bai would call her "aunt" when he saw her in the future.
Wei Deyin didn't know what his nephew represented at this time, so she said "oh" slowly, turned to look at Su Xi, and changed her mouth obediently: "Emperor's sister-in-law."
The Empress was satisfied. Then Wei Deyin pestered Su Xi and took her out of the palace, saying that she was leaving the palace, but in fact she wanted to see Su Baiyu. Su Baiyu was not in the palace for a while. Wei Deyin thought of him, so she said with a good word: "I want to go and play with Bo Yu's nephew."
Su Xi suppressed the smile on her lips and glanced at the queen. Seeing that she had no objection, she said to Wei Deyin: "Next month is Brother Bai'er's birthday. Can I take you to find him again?"
Wei Deyin thought about it, and although he felt it was a bit long, he nodded easily.
A few days later, when Su Xi went to Zhaoyang Palace to pay tribute, Lu Huishu and General Weiyuan's wife Lu were also there. Lu Huishu and Wei Jichang got engaged, and the wedding date was scheduled at the end of this year. The Empress asked General Weiyuan's wife to come over to discuss the marriage.
Su Xi sat in the rose chair next to her, and Lu Huishu sat opposite her. This was the first time that the two of them met after Lu Huishu got engaged. Lu Huishu seemed a little uncomfortable, but sat upright.
Su Xi blinked at her quietly. After noon, Lu Huishu said goodbye from Zhaoyang Palace, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
General Weiyuan's wife walked in front, and Su Xi walked behind. Su Xi turned her head and looked at her with a smile on her face.
Lu Huishu was embarrassed by her and asked deliberately: "Young, is there anything on my face?"
Su Xi raised the corner of her mouth and asked softly: "Sister Shu has nothing to say to me?"
After the two walked a few steps, Lu Huishu touched her cheek and confessed: "I don't know where to start..."
Regarding her marriage with Wei Jichang, it sounds a bit miserable. One day, Empress Liu and General Weiyuan's wife went to Mingjue Temple to worship Buddha. They wrote down the birth dates of Wei Jichang and Lu Huishu, and asked the abbot of Mingkong to write a fortune for the two. When they were sent back, they accidentally sent it back. It happened that the birth dates of these two people were very suitable. They were their own nobles. When they met, they were all smooth sailing. After returning from Mingjue Temple, Empress Liu remembered this matter in her heart and ordered people to go to General Weiyuan's mansion to inquire. When they learned that Lu Huishu had not yet betrothed, they decided that the two were "a match made by heaven."
However, due to Wei Jichang's conditions, Empress Liu was worried that the people of the Lu family would not want to do so, so she asked the people to inquire about the Lu family's meaning first.
General Wei Yuan's wife was indeed a little unwilling at first. Although Wei Jichang was noble, she was naturally deaf and dumb. She didn't ask her daughter to marry so much, but she just wanted her daughter to marry a normal person. Later, she found someone to do some divination, and it was said that the horoscopes of Lu Huishu and Wei Jichang were very consistent. She thought about General Wei Yuan Lu Chi for more than half a month and finally nodded.
Coincidentally, Lu Huishu and Wei Jichang were caught shortly after they got married, and General Weiyuan's old habit of rheumatism for many years was cured.
This made Lu even more determined to get married.
After hearing this, Su Xi couldn't help but sigh: "There is such a wonderful thing."
Lu Huishu smiled and said in disbelief: "It's just a coincidence. There are not so many fates in the world."
Su Xi asked curiously, "Don't Sister Shu want to marry the eldest prince?"
Lu Huishu thought about it and said, "It's not a question of whether he wants to think about it or not. I don't have much contact with him and don't know what kind of person he is. This determines the marriage, and I always feel that it's a bit too hasty."
As the two were talking, they walked out of the gate of Qingxi Palace and saw two people walking towards each other. One was Wei Shi and the other was Wei Jichang. Wei Shi had just come out of the imperial study room and was about to pick Su Xi back home. On the way, he met Wei Jichang to pay homage to Empress Liu, so he came together.
Wei Jichang raised his eyes to look here, his eyes fell on Lu Huishu, nodded and smiled.
Lu Huishu stopped. The girl who was usually calm and composed was a little restrained at this moment. She bent her knees and owed to him, saying, "I have seen the eldest prince."
Wei Jichang raised his hand and gently helped her, but he didn't let the palace servants beside him speak for him. He just shook his head and signaled that she didn't have to be too polite.
Su Xi stood aside, looked at Lu Huishu, and then looked at Wei Jichang, looking at the two of them. Wei Jichang was gentle and quiet, neither anxious nor impatient, and felt a silent feeling of moistening things; Lu Huishu had a beautiful facial features and generous manners. If she was the wintersweet blooming proudly in winter, then Wei Jichang was covered with snow on the branches of plum blossoms, one bright and the other quiet, but unexpectedly came to the right.
Before Su Xi could see enough, she was pulled away by Wei Lu.
Lu Huishu subconsciously opened her mouth and wanted to stop them. Wei Jichang smiled and did not stop him.
Sitting in the carriage, Su Xi glanced at the Weishi and said angrily: "Cousin Tingzhou, I haven't said goodbye to Sister Shu yet. Why are you pulling me away so quickly?"
Wei Qi sat opposite her and looked at her with a smile, "Do you keep staring at someone else's husband?"
Su Xi immediately breathed and explained: "I think Sister Shu is not compatible with the eldest prince..."
Wei Qing leaned over, raised her fingers and bounced her forehead, and said, "You are worried about other people's affairs."
Su Xi stuck out her tongue without refuting.
Back at the King of Jin's Mansion, Wei Qing did not go to the study immediately, but held Su Xi and sat on the couch by the window, telling her about the invasion of several cities in the border being invaded by the Western Rong people. Several tribes in the west united together, including the Wu family, Yiqu, and the Furong family, vaguely showed signs of restlessness, which disturbed the people of the border so much that they dared to go out.
Su Xi was confused at first, and gradually felt something was wrong. Her eyes were bright and she looked at him, "What exactly did Cousin Tingzhou want to say?"
Wei Lu paused slightly, surrounded her round waist, and said slowly: "Young, Your Majesty ordered me to lead my troops to the border."
