Chapter 88 Then. Kiss if you want

In the dusk of Luoan City, the lights have been lit and the noisy singing and dancing has gradually begun.

The carriage that Su Changan was riding in had passed through the Suzaku Gate, entered the imperial city, and was on the way back to Lingqi Pavilion.

With the [Xia Long Fu], the journey will naturally be smooth.

Naturally, the cat was also sitting in the car at that time.

Just looking at Maomao's unhappy face, Su Changan glanced at Yan Ruyu.

I found that Yan Ruyu was only concerned about the jar of wine that Maomao was carrying in her arms.

Looking at Maomao again, he saw that she was just eating the Hu Bing with her head down. Su Changan did not ask any more questions. After all, Maomao would definitely say what she had to say.

Return to Lingqi Pavilion.

As soon as Su Changan got off the carriage, he saw Sun Shang Gong standing outside the carriage waiting for him with a smile. Then he looked at Xuan Xia and others who were all waiting outside, and he knew that it was the empress who was waiting inside.

When Lady Sun saw Su Changan, she smiled and saluted: "Miss Changan."

Su Changan immediately said, "Aunt."

She should have returned the gift, but last time, Lady Sun told Su Changan that it was not polite to return the gift to her.

Sun Shang Gong smiled and said, "Your Majesty is waiting inside, please go in quickly."

After saying this, Sun Shang Gong wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she felt that a surprise was still needed, so she said nothing.

He just looked at Su Changan with a mysterious smile.

Su Changan was stunned, not understanding what Sun Shanggong's smile meant, but when he thought that this aunt often looked at him with strange smiles, he didn't think anything of it. He just nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Yan Ruyu and the others were naturally tactful and stood waiting at the door.

When he entered the yard, Su Changan did not see the empress, but he did put aside the manuscripts of A Dream of Red Mansions that he had written.

The hot pot on the table was steaming, but the fire was not very big, obviously it had just been lit.

Looking at the mutton and other dishes on the table, Su Changan felt greedy.

I just looked around, but I didn't see the empress in the study.

After lifting the curtain of the central courtyard and looking again, he still didn't see the empress.

But just when Su Changan was about to speak, the empress's voice came from behind him: "Su Changan."

Look back.

The empress was seen wearing a white dress with a white thin coat inside and a moon-white gauze outside. The fragrance was fluttering in the wind and the gauze was dancing.

The empress's face was smiling, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and as she looked around, she was graceful and stunningly beautiful.

Her three thousand strands of black hair hung straight down, without any extra jewelry to adorn her hair, and she didn't even tie her hair into a bun.

By the moonlight and candlelight, you can see that the empress has some rouge on her face, and the pink rouge overlaps with the empress's shy blush, making her look delicate and lovely.

Su Changan had never seen the empress like this, and was a little stunned when he saw her.

The empress felt even more embarrassed when she looked at Su Changan, but after thinking for a moment, she turned around gently, the veil fluttering in the wind, and with her lively smile, she exuded the aura of a young girl.

Then, the empress looked at Su Changan and asked, "Does it look good?"

Su Changan thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and pinched the empress's face, and found that it was real, so he said: "It's good that it's not fake."

Then he looked at the empress and nodded: "It looks good."

The empress was stunned and scolded with a smile: "You are stupid, aren't you?"

Su Changan smiled awkwardly: "You suddenly appeared in front of me wearing such beautiful clothes, don't you think you are fake?"

The empress was so angry that she laughed again. She was about to open her mouth, but she snorted and gave up.

Then he sat down and looked at Su Changan.

Then he found that Su Changan was still standing, so he said, "Why don't you sit down?"

Su Changan pursed his lips, looked at the empress and asked, "Did something big happen today?"

The empress thought for a moment and looked at Su Changan in confusion.

Su Changan frowned: "Nothing serious has happened, why are you suddenly wearing such beautiful clothes to seduce me!"

The empress was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she bit her lip, her face becoming even more red, but she still glared at Su Changan: "Slippery tongue! Sit down and eat!"

Hearing this, Su Changan sat down, but looked at the empress

Su Changan knew that the empress was beautiful, but at the moment he saw her blushing face and the outfit she was wearing, although she was not as majestic and domineering as before, she looked even more charming and beautiful.

The empress saw that Su Changan was looking at her. It took her a lot of courage to come here dressed like this.

After all, she seldom wore such clothes since she was a child, especially after her mother died, she started to wear robes as her main clothing, and this was even more so after she became emperor.

As a result, this person not only said those smooth words, but also looked at him straight after sitting down.

The empress became more and more shy, and finally couldn't help staring at Su Changan and said: "Su Changan, what are you looking at!"

Su Changan frowned: "Xia'er, are we okay?"

Hearing this, the empress looked at Su Changan and kicked him hard under the table: "If you continue to be so stupid, believe it or not, I will be angry."

After saying that, he immediately added: "The kind that is hard to coax."

Su Changan cried out in pain.

Sun Shang Gong and others outside were all used to it, and they didn't care that Su Changan screamed from time to time.

But Sun Shang Gong just smiled slightly, thinking that Miss Chang'an must have been frightened by His Majesty's sudden behavior and said something to embarrass His Majesty.

Su Changan rubbed his legs and looked at the angry look of the empress. After thinking for a while, he felt that he should comfort her, otherwise he would suffer if she kept being angry. So he said, "It's actually quite beautiful, but I just didn't react. You see, I love eating so much, but I don't even want to eat when I see you."

The empress was smart and immediately understood that Su Changan was talking about her beauty. She was naturally delighted, but when she saw Su Changan's expression, she immediately scolded him, "Since leaving the palace, you have become more and more slick, haven't you?"

Su Changan said angrily: "It's true feelings."

The empress glared at Su Changan and asked, "Are you happy to go out of the palace and visit the Su Mansion today?"

Su Changan nodded: "Yeah, I'm very happy."

The empress smiled.

Su Changan was happy, and she was happy too.

But Su Changan looked at the empress's clothes and asked: "Why did you want to dress like this today?"

The empress was stunned for a moment, then said, "I discovered it by accident, and thought I'd wear it to show you."

Su Changan blinked his eyes: "How about you stand up and turn around? It looks so beautiful and smells so good."

Upon hearing this, the empress kicked Su Changan again.

Su Changan was helpless: "I was just kidding, it's mainly because she's so beautiful, I want to see her again."

The empress rolled her eyes at Su Changan, but her face was filled with joy. She looked at Su Changan and remembered something, so she said, "If you really let your mouth go freely, I don't know how many women you will deceive. But speaking of this, Li Jiulang told me today that Li Xingyue called you 'Sister Changan' after she returned home. She was in a good mood and her illness was almost healed. She thought that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she could enter the palace and work in the Palace Administration Department. Did Li Xingyue call you that day, Sister Changan?"

Su Changan, who had just helped the empress prepare the dipping sauce, heard the familiar sarcastic voice and looked up at the empress.

The empress looked at Su Changan with murderous intent in her eyes: "I said I wouldn't care about your meeting that day, but you turned around and made a fuss about it. Humph. You really hid something big from me, Sister Changan."

Su Changan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and then said, "To be honest, I was a gentleman and honest that day. I didn't do anything."

The empress raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Changan and said, "Yes, a gentleman is open and honest. You are still innocent! Humph! Innocent thoughts, only you can say such a corny truth. However, Li Jiulang said that he is very grateful to you because Li Xingyue is in a much better mood these days and has a bigger appetite. He also said that he is no longer as pretentious as before when facing outsiders. He also said that he must find time to thank you in person."

Then, the empress looked at Su Changan and said, "This won't happen again, okay? You've never played with me like this before, even putting on rouge and teaching me how to cook! You've been doing it the same way with other women."

Su Changan was speechless, but after thinking for a while he said, "How about we do something that I would never do with anyone else?"

The empress was startled and asked curiously, "What?"

Su Changan immediately said, "Kiss. ​​One foot and one kiss. You stepped on me twice, two kisses."

Then

Su Changan screamed twice again.

Outside Lingqi Pavilion.

Sun Shang Gong's smile widened, while the others lowered their heads.

Su Changan rubbed his legs and looked at the empress: "Xia'er, can we use our mouths instead of our hands in the future?"

Upon hearing this, the empress immediately said, "I didn't move my hands, I moved my feet."

But after saying that, he felt embarrassed again when he thought about Su Changan talking.

But this time he didn't move his feet, he just glared at Su Changan: "Every time I come here, I get mad at you."

Su Changan curled his lips and said, "You are the one who is angry. I didn't do anything."

But the empress snorted: "I won't talk to you about this anymore. The more I talk, the angrier I get. I have something serious to tell you."

Su Changan nodded, but then he thought, that’s good, what we just talked about was not serious matters.

The empress said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. There will be a palace banquet on the 14th day, and many dignitaries in the capital will come."

Su Changan nodded and thought about it, feeling that it had nothing to do with him.

But when it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Changan thought about it and decided to make some mooncakes for his wife. But now mooncakes are also called Hu cakes,

But after thinking about it, he decided not to bother with the name, so he looked at the empress and asked, "Do you like red bean filling or mung bean filling?"

The empress was about to continue speaking, but when she heard Su Changan ask this, she said, "I like them all."

But after saying that, he immediately said, "Let's talk business! Don't interrupt! You have to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet on the 14th night, too, you know?"

Su Changan, who had just put some meat and vegetables into the pot, was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Changan: "I'm going too? As the eldest daughter of the Su family? I'm not qualified."

The empress said indifferently: "If you are not qualified, then who among those officials is qualified? You are the future empress! Anyway, you must come. Some talented men and beautiful women will also come. There will be a poetry writing session. You should prepare well to scare them and let them see how powerful the empress is. Of course, there will also be your favorite Hu Ji dancing."

Su Changan sighed. He didn't want to explain why he liked dancing. Mainly, he didn't want to lie to the empress, because he really liked watching it. He even stole a few glances at her on the way today.

However, when he saw that the dishes in the hot pot were almost ready, and seeing that the empress's clothes were a little inconvenient, he simply helped the empress pick up a piece of mutton, dipped it in the bowl of dipping sauce, blew on it twice, and fed it to the empress.

The empress bit her lip lightly, looked at Su Changan and cursed him in her heart, then opened her mouth slightly and ate it.

Watching the empress eat, Su Changan nodded: "Okay. I can't scare them to death."

The empress was amused and planned to roll up her sleeves.

However, when Su Changan saw this, he immediately reached out to help. The empress did not resist and raised her hand to let Su Changan help her.

Seeing Su Changan lowering his head and carefully helping her roll up her sleeves, the empress was secretly happy, but thinking about how she had kicked him several times just now, she felt a little guilty.

then

Bang!

But the empress just lightly kissed Su Changan on the forehead by lowering her head slightly.

It was very fast. After the kiss, the empress turned her head away from Su Changan.

But after waiting for a while, he didn't hear Su Changan speak, so he turned his head slightly.

Then Su Changan looked at the empress and pointed at his mouth: "Here."

The empress was immediately embarrassed.

Then

A few more screams were heard.

The people outside Lingqi Pavilion just thought that there were more screams today than in the past. What happened?

However, Sun Shang Gong smiled with relief, thinking that they had been beaten so many times, and even if His Majesty returned tonight, there would probably be some trouble.

…

Su Changan had a very unhappy meal. He didn't get to kiss anyone but was just beaten.

Why.

This is about love.

But noisy is noisy.

Serious business still needed to be done, so after dinner, Su Changan took out the musket parts and briefly introduced them to the empress.

After hearing this, the empress looked at these parts in surprise, especially when she heard Su Changan asking her for gunpowder. After thinking for a while, she looked at Su Changan and shook her head: "How can I agree to you? After I gave me the blueprint that day, I asked someone to make it, but it exploded many times. Fortunately, the amount of gunpowder used was not large, so nothing happened, but I still hurt myself. It's so dangerous, I can't let you do this experiment."

Su Changan shook his head: "A trace amount of gunpowder will do, and I can do dangerous things? Oh, you don't know me."

The empress looked at Su Changan and thought he was not serious again. She rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her head to pick up a small part and looked at the drawing on the side.

She had just heard Su Changan say that this musket could be carried easily, and the drawing on it was longer and more detailed than the previous one.

Thinking about these days, people from the Shen Ce Palace came to report on the progress. The empress also knew that if the amount of gunpowder was controlled well, she would not be injured, but looking at the drawings.

The empress thought for a moment and said, "No, I can't give you gunpowder, but you can assemble it. Once you're sure it's foolproof, take it and ask me to find someone who specializes in making muskets and cannons to test it. If it succeeds, you can use it to modify the long musket. You don't know, the long musket is almost done, but the test is not completely successful yet, so it needs to be more refined."

"The craftsmen told me that the musket is a bit crude. If it is really used on the battlefield, it will be a bit cumbersome and can only be used once, so they want to modify it, but the modification process is a bit slow. If you give them this blueprint, there may be some progress. As for the cannon, they did make the shells, but some accidents occurred during the test, injuring many people, but fortunately no one was killed, so it is also making progress."

"Those people are too stubborn to tell me about meeting you, the inventor of the musket and cannon. When you have assembled it, it will be a good opportunity for you to meet them. I have seen the cannon test before, and its power is much greater than you said."

Su Changan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay. I'll assemble it first."

The empress nodded, but she saw the thin tubes and other things on the other side: "What are these?"

Su Changan said: "Distiller? Well, you can call it that, although it's crude. I use it to make perfume and other things."

However, after saying that, Su Changan immediately added: "I will definitely do it for you first, but I think you already have this scent on your body, and using perfume would be a bit superfluous."

The empress was about to say something when she heard this, but she changed her mind and her face immediately turned red: "How do you know I have a scent?"

But after asking this question, the empress felt even more embarrassed and secretly regretted it.

How can you ask such a shy question? !

Xia Fengxiang, are you crazy?

Su Changan said seriously: "We have hugged and kissed each other, how could I not know?"

The empress suddenly became even more shy, but after thinking for a moment, she just glared at Su Changan, then turned her head to look at the pile of strange things.

She did know about perfume, which was introduced from the Western Regions in the past one or two years. However, the smell was a bit unpleasant. After smelling it for a long time, she found it very tacky and strange. It was not as good as the sachets and perfume bags of Daxia.

But thinking that it was made by Su Changan, it shouldn't be that tacky, so he turned to look at Su Changan: "You said, I want the first bottle."

Su Changan nodded immediately, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "But maybe I need some flowers from the greenhouse."

The Empress said, "Why don't you just go get it?"

Su Changan smiled.

However, the empress stood up from the cushion, looked at Su Changan, and then looked at the roof in the central courtyard.

Su Changan sighed, wondering why he fell in love with climbing the roof.

It's so dangerous to dress like this.

But no matter what he thought, he still stood up and took the pot of wine next to him.

…

The two of them still sat side by side, and looking up, the moon was still as crystal clear.

The empress said: "Su Changan, can you please stop making me angry in the future?"

Hearing this, Su Changan, who had just taken a sip of wine, almost spit it out, and then looked at the empress in surprise.

But seeing the empress glaring at him, Su Changan nodded: "You are the empress, you have the final say."

Where can we find reason here?

The empress was a little proud, and then said: "Actually, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is not for you to do anything. There is something that needs you to go, but I can't tell you. It will be meaningless if I tell you."

Su Changan had actually just thought of it. After all, the empress had never allowed him to get involved in those things. But he had to go to a place full of temple officials, which obviously meant something was wrong.

The empress continued, "I dressed like this tonight just to show you, but there won't be a next time. This dress is a bit troublesome and cumbersome. I don't know what my mother was thinking when she made this dress for me."

Hearing this, Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then said, "To be honest, it's really beautiful."

The empress looked at Su Changan and said, "It's beautiful, but don't say it from the bottom of your heart next time."

Su Changan said: "If you don't say something like this, you won't be able to show how good-looking you are."

The Empress was so angry that she laughed: "Everyone says you have such great literary talent, but when it comes to me, there's not a single good word for you, right?"

Su Changan smiled and said, "The clouds resemble clothes and the flowers resemble beauty?"

The empress immediately said, "That's all you know, right?"

Su Changan immediately said, "I wrote this with you in mind."

Just as the empress was about to speak, Su Changan immediately said, "She is as graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a swimming dragon. She is as glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, and as luxuriant as a spring pine."

Hearing this

The empress was stunned for a moment, then she turned around with a smile, thought for a moment and asked, "Su Changan, why do you want to kiss me so much?"

Su Changan said without hesitation: "Ah, my shortcoming is that I just want to kiss the people I like."

The empress immediately said, "It's getting more and more disgusting. I'm going to give you goose bumps again tonight!"

Then, the empress thought for a moment and said, "Then kiss me if you want."

When she said this, the empress bit her lip lightly, turned her head away in shame, and did not dare to look at Su Changan.

But after thinking about it, he turned his head away.

Just as the empress turned her head, Su Changan kissed her.

She felt the softness of her lips again.

He also felt the tenderness of her lips.

Um.

Good.

The moon in the sky was now obscured by a cloud, with only a corner showing, as if it was peeking at the beautiful couple.
