Chapter 1160 Queen Mother: I want to tell others that I am a man
Madam Zhang continued, "You are frugal and even cultivate land and grow vegetables in the palace. You are a role model for the world. However, when people heard about this, they were all moved. Although they knew that you were from Yan, the times are different now. You no longer need to do this."
"I am not saying this to persuade you not to do these things. You are the queen, and I have no right to interfere, let alone persuade you not to do these things. But what I am saying is that every woman in the world wants to be like you, and all the literati in the world admire you because of your poems. Although I am not familiar with the affairs of the martial arts world, my three sons are in the martial arts world. They hold your poems all day long, saying that all the martial arts people in the world read your "Spring River Moon Night" and feel the martial arts and grow up, and that many people in the martial arts world regard you as their teacher. You are so outstanding that it is not an exaggeration to use the sentence on Shuya Tower to describe you as unprecedented and unparalleled. I am not qualified to persuade you."
When Su Changan heard this, he pursed his lips. He felt a little embarrassed because he was praised so suddenly.
Madam Zhang paused and continued, "Today, I heard from the streets that you and His Majesty have been cutting back on spending due to palace expenses. I even heard from the people that you have even cultivated land to grow vegetables in order to save money. To be honest, I don't believe it. The people can only see so much. After all, how can a country with two saints save money to such an extent? If this is true, it means that the officials and people of Daxia are incompetent."
"The food boxes I brought with me were because the Duke said you like to eat, so I cooked some and brought them with me. But coming here today made me have other thoughts."
At this point, Madam Zhang looked back at the food that had been delivered to her, then turned to look at Su Changan: "Are you well again?"
Su Changan was stunned.
Even Xia Fengxiang was stunned.
The young couple looked at Mrs. Zhang. What? That disease? Which disease?
Madam Zhang said, "I heard that you ate a lot because of your illness, so you had to eat a lot, which was very painful. But later I heard that you recovered from your illness. But I heard from Dr. Zhang that your illness cannot be cured. But now you look so thin, and you haven't eaten so much food, so I asked you if you are well again?"
Hearing this, Su Changan suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a saying when he ate too much at first, but he forgot about it because it has been so long.
Xia Fengxiang on the other side also realized it, but did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Old Madam Zhang.
As far as she could remember, the person her mother feared the most was Old Madam Zhang. In the past, this old lady had been extremely strict when she taught her mother.
Once, after being lectured by Madam Zhang, my mother left. She looked at my father and said, "She scolded me again!"
The main thing was that Xia Fengxiang later found out that the old lady never preached directly, but had her own set of methods.
Su Changan looked at Old Madam Zhang and was about to say something.
Madam Zhang frowned: "If you are well, then Maomao and Zhang Wenjing will be severely punished. After all, the queen has recovered, but they told others that you are still ill, especially Zhang Wenjing."
Su Changan was stunned when he heard this. What did this have to do with anything? But he still said, "That's not true. You misunderstood."
When Madam Zhang heard this, she immediately said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, it means that the queen hasn't recovered yet. If she hasn't recovered, why doesn't the queen eat more? You've become so thin, did you do it on purpose? Are you not eating because of your beauty?"
Su Changan blinked and looked at Madam Zhang in front of him. Good fellow, after going around in circles, this is what you want to say, right? And this is what you said.
Madam Zhang looked at Su Changan and said, "There's nothing wrong with being frugal, and there's nothing wrong with growing crops, but not eating is wrong. I don't know why your majesty endures the pain and doesn't eat, but I dare to guess that it's because of the title of the most beautiful woman in the world and the title of [Color Armor]. Your majesty, it's important for a woman to love beauty, but do you need that? Back then, the late queen said she wanted to lose weight and eat less for a few days. I was working in the clothing bureau, and was instructed by the late empress dowager to teach the queen some things. After learning about this, I supervised the late queen's eating every day to help her lose weight. How could you, as the queen, do this?"
Su Changan heard this and immediately said, "Madam Zhang, I'm not losing weight. I eat well. These things were delivered a while ago. If you don't believe me, ask His Majesty. I just drank five bowls of porridge, a lot of buns, and ate a lot of scrambled eggs this morning."
Having said that, Su Changan turned around and looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Then Xia Fengxiang blinked and said, "Hmm? Yes, that's right."
Su Changan frowned immediately. What the hell is that? We are eating together, and you say "hmm"?
After saying this, Xia Fengxiang said, "But you did eat a lot less today, and you haven't had the second breakfast yet. Has the Empress not had it in the past few days?"
Xia Fengxiang turned his head and looked at Xun Xia.
Xia nodded: "Yes."
Su Changan raised his eyebrows. "I'm too busy making these things to take care of them. And there are plates of snacks. They are not for me to eat. You should explain clearly."
Ku Yue suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I was wondering why I've been eating so much recently. It turns out it's because the Empress stopped eating and sent it to me."
Su Changan looked at Ku Yue and said, "Shut up! This is all you eat!"
Madam Zhang took off her crown and looked at Su Changan: "Your Majesty, I support any decision you make, but I strongly oppose the matter of eating less. This lady's imperial robe was given to me by the late Queen, and the Dongzhu on the crown was given to me by the late Queen alone. I am sixty-three years old this year. Although I am old, I am in good health. But I know that there is an exam in the palace, so I don't have the audacity to ask Your Majesty and Your Majesty to break the rules and let me work in the imperial kitchen. What's more, if I go, I will take up someone else's place and be taken care of by others, which is not appropriate. So I ask Your Majesty to let me deliver food to the palace every day. There is no need to waste effort in the palace. I will take care of everything, and there will be people who can test poison with me. Please allow me to prepare meals and deliver them to the palace."
When Su Changan heard this, he immediately said, "Madam Zhang, I'm this way."
Xia Fengxiang said, "Sure, as long as you don't mind the trouble, anything is fine. And I trust you. When you mentioned losing weight, I remembered that my brother told me that it was because my mother was disgusted with herself for getting fat after giving birth to me that she wanted to lose weight, but you cured her. The queen needs someone to watch over her recently, and I can't control her."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang who had a nonchalant expression on his face.
What!?
What the hell are you talking about?
Can't control me?
Can't you control me anymore?
Xia Fengxiang didn't go to see Su Changan.
But Su Changan noticed that the corners of Xia Fengxiang's mouth were trembling, and he was obviously suppressing it.
The other people in the courtyard lowered their heads at this time.
In other words, Wu Daming had been staring at Su Changan from the beginning. No one knew what he was thinking, but tears were welling up in the corners of his eyes.
While Ku Yue took a bite of food from the food box, she looked at Su Changan thoughtfully.
Madam Zhang thanked him immediately: "I obey your order."
After standing up, the old lady looked at Su Changan and said, "Your Majesty, regardless of your illness, even women should not think that being thin is beautiful. Being fat or thin has its own beauty. You should not be so biased. You are especially wrong for a woman like you. What I said today was a bit offensive. If Your Majesty blames me, you can punish me. If you think what I said is reasonable, I will send food to the palace from tomorrow onwards. Please use up all the food, and send the dishes to the outside of the palace gate. I will wait there."
Su Changan hesitated and said, "Okay."
Madam Zhang showed a happy expression on her face, and it was obvious that her goal had been achieved: "In that case, I will not bother you any more."
After that, he bowed and looked at Xia Fengxiang, and then naturally noticed the silk threads, silk cloth, and drawings on the table. He couldn't help but smile, "The Queen is so kind and kind. You should take care of yourself. You are a role model for women all over the world."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, not knowing what to say, just whatever.
Mrs. Zhang sent her away.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xuan Xia and others on the side seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly went to do their work elsewhere.
Xia Fengxiang raised his eyes: "What are you looking at me for?"
Su Changan said: "You look good."
Xia Fengxiang lowered his head and picked up the letter: "That's good to know."
But after saying that, he burst out laughing.
Su Changan looked at his wife helplessly, "Isn't it interesting?"
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Who told you to dig holes every day? Find someone to take care of you!"
Su Changan curled his lips, but just as he was about to say something, he saw Wu Daming approaching him with food: "Master, you eat."
Su Changan looked at Wu Daming who was crying: "I'm eating, why are you crying?"
Wu Daming tried hard not to cry: "You are sick."
Xia Fengxiang chuckled and picked up a handkerchief to wipe Wu Daming's tears.
Su Changan rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.
Ku Yue looked at him and said, "I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat. Is there such a disease?"
Su Changan put down his hand and looked at Yue Ku Yue with a mouth full of oil: "Didn't I infect you before?"
Ku Yue laughed: "I'm not sick! I asked Zhang Wenjing."
Su Changan asked: "Does your stomach feel uncomfortable if you don't eat? You must eat."
Ku Yue was about to answer, but after thinking for a moment, she looked down at her stomach and nodded nervously: "You know."
Su Changan immediately said, "How could I not know the disease I gave you?"
Crying Moon: “Hmm?”
Not to mention Xia Fengxiang, Aunt Sun and others at the side all laughed out loud when they heard this and looked at Ku Yue sitting on the ground.
However, Xia Fengxiang waved his hand and said, "You guys should go out first. There is so much food. Bring in a few more tables. It will go bad if you leave it here in such a hot day. Let's eat it together."
Aunt Sun held Wu Daming's hand. Wu Daming looked at Su Changan with confusion. The master's wife said that the master was not sick.
But Ku Yue looked shocked.
Su Changan looked at her and said, "Go and capture Xun Kuang and Su Liheng and lock them up in that yard over there. I'll ask Maomao to find a way to cure you."
Hearing this, Ku Yue nodded immediately, jumped up and left.
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, looked at Su Changan and scolded: "You only know how to make Crying Moon play!"
Su Changan looked at her: "You are still teasing me."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "But to be honest, this is not a big deal. I've experienced a lot. But when Madam Zhang just said that I am a role model for women, I have some ideas."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "Why? The queen is already one."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang with a questioning look.
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "No!"
Su Changan curled his lips: "Why? Aren't there many people who know about this?"
Xia Fengxiang immediately scolded, "Because it's so annoying! You go and say that others don't believe you, then you come back and nag me, then I scold you and punish you, then you start to act cute and try to please me, then you start nagging again. So I don't allow you to say that you are a man!"
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Xia Qingge, don't go too far. I've never done that!"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, then lowered his head to look at his belly: "See? You weren't even born yet, and your dad is already being mean to me!"
Su Changan: "What the hell?"
