When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...

Chapter 958 My name is Maomao, not Cui Qingnv, nor Tuoba Qingnv
Outside Wuhekou, a temporary building similar to a military tent or palace was built entirely with foldable bamboo poles. Soldiers in Wuhekou walked hurriedly inside it, and those who could enter and exit the camp freely were all wearing special documents.
On the towering walls of the pass, three people looked far to the north, watching the mighty cavalry of the Shen Ce Army. The old scholar Mu Xu put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Xun Kuang told me that people are good because of education. The so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are all acquired through education and study, not human nature. So the boy is very unruly in everything, but he is particularly rigorous in teaching and educating people. However, Yao Yuanzai and Zhao Shi firmly believe that human nature is good. Because of the environment and acquired education, their temperament has changed drastically and they began to do evil. For this reason, the two of them argued with Xun Kuang many times at that time. Later, Yuanzai and Fu Yu found two children from Mobei merchants, both of whom were newborns. It is not possible to argue about the way of saints in a day or a day, and we should start from the beginning. Xun Kuang also found a resident of Luoan, who also had a newborn child."
"The merchant traveled between Mobei and Luoan and even to the Western Regions. He didn't come every year, but he would come to Luoan City every two years. When the two Mobei children were born, they were innocent and cute. The three of them said nothing and just planned to wait for a few years. By the fifth year, both the merchant and the children of the people in Luoan were five years old."
Having said this, Mu Xu stopped.
Du Yu and Meng Qin on the side looked at Mu Xu.
Mu Xu smiled and said, "This debate is fruitless."
Meng Qin was stunned.
Du Yu frowned slightly, but the next moment, he seemed to understand something and asked, "Is there something wrong with that Mobei merchant?"
Mu Xu sneered and looked at Meng Qin: "Old man, you are still the Great Pillar of the State. Who would be willing to run around with a pregnant wife and a baby? Even the people of Mobei understand this."
Meng Qin suddenly realized.
Mu Xu smiled and asked, "Du Yu, what do you think of the good and evil of human nature?"
Du Yu was silent for a moment after hearing this and then said, "Before, I thought that Mr. Yao and Mr. Zhao were right, and that conscience and morality are innate. But later, as I saw more and more, I may have leaned towards my junior brother. But after hearing the words of the empress about the unity of knowledge and action, I thought about it again and found that people have no inherent good or evil. We should 'distinguish right from wrong, be sincere and upright, and follow our conscience' and then do things to achieve the unity of reason and action. Good and evil are known in our hearts, and others are free to be judged by others."
Meng Qin glanced at Du Yu and remained silent.
Mu Xu smiled and said, "I have talked about this with the queen before. The queen said that in years of drought, people hate the sun, but if it is a cold winter, people miss the sun. In years of floods, people hate rain, but crops have no water but it rains, so people are grateful for the rain. A person is kind to others, but occasionally does evil, is he an evil person? An evil person is extremely cruel but does a good thing, is he a good person? The queen said that human nature is evil or good, and it is impossible to discuss the root cause, because when it comes to nature, you are not him, and you can't see anything at all. What others can see is how that person does it. But the premise is to teach well, and we teachers must do a good job of education. In the words of the queen, 'education should start from the children'. After that, whether you are a good person or a bad person, others will judge."
Du Yu asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that people are inherently good or evil, but what is really important is that no matter what the first two are, education is the most important?"
Mu Xu looked at the Mobei people who were less than a hundred meters away from the military tent and were behind Li Xizhi and Li Jinxiu. "No need to discuss, no need to discuss. Punish those who make mistakes and reward those who do good. Teach them to avoid evil from a young age. I guess this is the Queen's point of view. If the Mobei people come, we must fight them and fight back. Why? They have killed too many of us. This is the punishment we have to give them for their evil deeds, and we must also teach them how to become good."
Mu Xu did not raise his hand and pointed to the north: "Your Majesty, tell me, my ambition is to change Daxia into the world."
Du Yu and Meng Qin followed Mu Xu's hand and looked into the distance.
Mu Xu's aspiration is "I hope that there will be the sound of reading everywhere in Daxia"
Du Yu and Meng Qin both knew this ambition, but they hadn't waited for the two to say yes.
Mu Xu continued, "Datong. The people of Mobei have their own wisdom, but if our academy is also in the royal court, and we incorporate them into the culture of Daxia, then there will be no more wars in the future. Under the Datong, we can turn the people of Mobei into Daxia people. They can retain their ethnicity, but call themselves Daxia people, just like those people from the Western Regions in Luoan City."
Du Yu and Meng Qin were stunned.
Mu Xu said: "As for me, I want to try my best to live a few more years."
Then, Mu Xu smiled and looked at the two of them: "You also have to work hard to conquer Mobei. After that, leave the task of educating them to me. I can't do it anymore. There are still Xun Kuang and Yan Shu. Haha, you and these kids will have to work hard. In order for the people of Mobei to be good in the future, let's do some evil."
Du Yu and Meng Qin looked at each other with shock on their faces.
Mu Xu actually said this clearly enough.
Great Harmony
This is what the Queen said.
If that's what Your Majesty meant, then what about His Majesty?
What is the Great Unity of the World?
Du Yu bowed to Mu Xu and knew what to do.
Meng Qin held the hilt of the knife with one hand. He knew what to do better than anyone else.
But at this moment, Mu Xu lowered his head, his expression was stunned: "What is your Lu kid doing?"
While speaking, Mu Xu pulled Meng Qin to look at Lu Cunxiao, Pan Qiao, Qi Qi and others who were walking towards the military tent.
Meng Qin heard this and looked down. His face suddenly turned ugly: "You bastard!"
Even Du Yu couldn't help but smile.
But Mu Xu smiled and said after careful consideration: "But he looks like a decent person, except that he doesn't look like a scholar. Why is he dressed like this? Who ordered him to be like this?"
Mu Xu must have done it on purpose, just to piss off Meng Qin.
When Meng Qin heard this, he looked at the expression on Mu Xu's face, then looked at Lu Cunxiao. He realized that he had not hit him lightly!
Lu Cunxiao was very satisfied with his outfit.
He is gentle and refined, yet still retains his military demeanor.
While riding on the horse, Lu Cunxiao looked around. Although he felt that everyone was looking at him strangely, Lu Cunxiao did not care about it. Instead, he asked Qi Qi beside him, "Xiao Qi, am I dressed well enough?"
Qi Qi looked at how Lü Cunxiao was dressed. He was wearing a scholar's robe over his armor. Not only did he look swollen, but the robe was also bulging because of the armor's edges. And General Lü had a folding fan pinned to his waist.
But before Qi Qi could say anything, Pan Qiao spoke up: "The general's outfit is indeed intimidating!"
Lu Cunxiao chuckled, then looked around. The army had arrived, and the guests who were "invited" had apparently arrived as well.
Lu Cunxiao rubbed his hands. It had been many years since Yuwen Baobao had seen that bastard.
Pan Qiao looked at Lu Cunxiao. Perhaps he sensed the murderous aura in Lu Cunxiao, or perhaps he knew how General Lu felt when he saw the Tuoba people coming from the other side of the military tent. He said, "General, be polite, be polite."
Hearing this, Lu Cunxiao immediately chuckled and scratched his head: "I forgot, I forgot."
Just as he was about to say this, Lu Cunxiao saw Miss Mao Mao sitting at the door of the military tent. He did not dare to neglect her immediately, dismounted, and ran towards the place without caring that the Yanyun riders around him looked at him with strange eyes because of his dress.
The main reason was that Lu Cunxiao drank two sips of Fatty Han’s wine two days ago, and it tasted really good. I heard that it was made by this female doctor.
Maomao sat at the door of the military tent. Actually, she could go in and wait, but Maomao didn't want to, so she took a stool and sat outside.
There was no one else around, neither Chi Yao nor Wang Changcao. Right now, the people in the Shen Ce Mansion not far from Maomao were making arrangements.
Sitting on the stool, Mao Mao's feet couldn't touch the ground, but it didn't matter. He swung his feet back and forth, looked up at the sky, and thought that it would be great if some of these Mobei people had a blight in their bodies, even if it was a poisonous insect.
The reason why Maomao is here this time is actually because she fought for it herself.
When Maomao heard that the purpose of Tuoba's visit this time was her, Maomao didn't care at all, and didn't even care much. She was busy as usual.
But when Maomao heard the name Helian, he was shaken.
Maomao had thought about the affairs of the country and family, but after much thought, she felt that they had nothing to do with her, a mere female doctor.
Just as His Majesty and the Queen said to her, "If it is your turn to think and contribute to the affairs of the country, then Daxia will be like this."
but.
As a mere female doctor, Maomao also has things she wants. For example, she remembers that there are beetles in the Helian tribe!
Although I have experienced two incidents with bugs, all the bugs I got were dead. After all, they are very dangerous, so it is impossible to catch them alive.
Therefore, the cat has never had a real catworm.
So, Maomao expressed her intention to come here, even though Su Changan pointed out her purpose in one sentence.
Maomao also clenched his fist and retorted, "Am I the kind of person who is only interested in profit and wants to take advantage of others?! I am doing this for everyone's safety!"
Su Changan sighed and put his hand on the top of Mao Mao's head. "You are not a profit-seeking person, but you just want to be a scoundrel."
But in the end, the cat was allowed to come here.
Even though the Queen looked at Maomao and said harshly, "I don't care about your safety! Don't count on me!"
But anyway.
The cat clenched his fists excitedly and had been looking forward to this day for many days!
only
Maomao looked at the sky and whispered to himself, "I forgot to ask if I could give these people the poisonous insects if they didn't have them."
Maomao has learned a lot about poisonous insects during these days of being with Chi Yao.
And I think it’s quite simple.
Lu Cunxiao had already come to Maomao, clasped his fists and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Maomao."
Maomao lowered her head and blinked at Lu Cunxiao. Especially when she saw Lu Cunxiao's outfit, Maomao gave Lu Cunxiao a thumbs up.
It’s amazing to be able to dress like this!
Lu Cunxiao was stunned, but before he could say anything, Pan Qiao and Qi Qi also arrived.
Moreover, from one side of the military tent, the sound of the army stopping could be heard.
After Pan Qiao and Qi Qi greeted Maomao, they told Maomao to go in, and Maomao nodded naturally.
Meanwhile, Wang Changcao and Chi Yao had also come over.
There is no need for unnecessary polite words in today's negotiations. Just come and talk. If we agree, we can talk about other things. If not, the talks will end here.
Many things between countries seem to be complicated, but in fact, what is presented on the surface is simple and direct.
The huge military tent was as big as the lobby of a house. There was a table in the middle and stools placed around the edge of the tent.
For this negotiation, the only people in the military tent today are Maomao and his group. Apart from them, even Li Xizhi and others who went to "invite" them will not come in.
On the contrary, from Mobei Tuoba's side, all twelve people walked in.
Maomao sat on a stool at the edge of the military tent, looking expectantly at the people who came in.
Chi Yao standing by did not dare to be careless at all.
The first person Lu Cunxiao saw was Yuwen Baobao.
For example, when Yuwen Baobao walked in, he felt an inexplicable pain on his face, so he stared straight at Lu Cunxiao at first sight.
Pan Qiao stood up and bowed to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, let's not talk too much about polite greetings. Please take a seat and then start talking."
Helian Aji looked at Pan Qiao: "But Pan..."
But just as he opened his mouth, Pan Qiao smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. We don't care who you are, just like you don't need to care who we are. Let's talk first and then we can talk."
Lu Cunxiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved from Yuwen Baobao to Lord Pan. Didn't we agree to treat him with courtesy? Why didn't he introduce himself?
Helian Aji looked at Pan Qiao and said, "Just..."
Pan Qiao spoke again: "General, please get down to business and don't get involved in other matters."
Pan Qiao did this twice, and Helian Aji's face showed displeasure, and the people from Mobei next to him naturally felt the same way.
The middle-aged man standing next to Helian Aji spoke up. Since he could stand next to Helian Aji, he was obviously a member of the Helian family, so his status was not low. He said angrily, "Xia official, since we are here to negotiate, we should speak politely to you. Don't be ungrateful."
Pan Qiao heard this and sneered: "Your Excellency, you mean that we invited you to negotiate? And you said that we don't know what's good for us?"
As he said that, he stood up and flicked his sleeves: "In that case, go back wherever you came from, we won't talk about Daxia anymore."
As he spoke, Pan Qiao stood up, glanced at Pan Qiao and Qi Qi, and really planned to leave.
Lu Cunxiao looked at Pan Qiao, a little dumbfounded. Wait a minute, what's going on? Why did you overturn the table at the beginning? And this is not how scholars talk! Old Pan, don't you want me to calm down? What do you mean by this?
Qi Qi was already used to Pan Qiao's behavior, so he didn't react much. He just stood up and was about to leave with Lord Pan.
Although Wang Changcao and Chi Yao were surprised, this matter had nothing to do with them.
The two men's eyes wandered over the Mobei delegation.
It is certain that only the man who has been staring at Lord Qi is Zhijing, and the others are not a threat.
However, the people from Mobei seemed to have noticed something, so some of them were looking at Maomao.
But Maomao didn't care about that, her eyes were on the last person.
Because it tastes weird.
When the people from the Shichen Group came in just now, everyone smelled normal and there was no smell of poisonous insects at all.
But after this person came in.
Very weird!
It's not the smell of a poisonous insect or a blight bug, but it's very strange. A normal person shouldn't have this smell.
"This must be Master Pan Qiao."
Yuwen Baobao stepped forward and spoke.
Pan Qiao turned around and asked with a smile, "Yuwen Baobao?"
Yuwen Baobao clasped his fists and said, "Since this is a negotiation, there is no need to be like this. Let's sit down and talk properly. Please forgive me for my inattention just now."
How could a person who could lead an army in Rouran be an ordinary person?
At that moment, Yuwen Baobao clasped his fists again as an apology.
Pan Qiao smiled.
But before he could speak, Yuwen Baobao looked at Maomao and said, "However, this must be our Tuoba people's queen, Lady Cui Qingnu."
As he spoke, Yuwen Baobao crossed his hands on his chest, saluted towards Mao Mao, and then said: "But you should call her Tuoba Qingnu."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other Tuoba people looked at Maomao, and those who were farther away took a few steps closer to Maomao.
Tuoba
Even though all Tuoba people know their history, the name of Tuoba people is destined to be unable to get rid of the Tuoba stigma.
What's more, everyone knows that they came here this time just for this person with Tuoba blood.
On the other side, He Liuhun had been staring at Qi Qi, and he only felt that in addition to the ninth-rank female general holding a spear, there was also such a beautiful female official.
Now turning my head to look at it, the cat is not important, because it looks average and I don’t like it.
Chi Yao is the most remarkable person in his eyes.
Chi Yao could feel the gazes, but did not take it seriously and just remained alert.
Maomao looked at Yuwen Baobao and said, "My name is Maomao, not Cui Qingnv, nor Tuoba Qingnv. You've got the wrong person."
…
Su Changan stood obediently beside Xia Fengxiang who was lying on the chair.
Xia Fengxiang is in good health, and Mr. Mo takes her pulse every day, so there is no need to use external medicines such as pregnancy-stabilizing drugs, but we cannot be too careless.
So even though he was beaten, Su Changan didn't dare let Xia Fengxiang move any further.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "I didn't want to tell you before because I knew you would be like this!"
Su Changan said: "I don't really care what others think of me."
Xia Fengxiang waved towards Su Changan.
Su Changan bent down.
Xia Fengxiang immediately put his hand on Su Changan's waist and cursed: "Is this about how others view you? It's between you and me!"
While Su Changan sighed, he protected his wife with one hand to prevent her from falling due to excessive movement, and looked at her with the other hand: "Giving birth to a child is originally a matter between you and me."
Xia Fengxiang heard this and stopped talking. He pinched her hard again and said, "Sit still!"
Su Changan rubbed his waist and sat on a chair beside him.
Xia Fengxiang was about to speak, but he thought that he seemed to be too heavy-handed just now, and Su Changan himself didn't have much meat on his waist, so he put his hand directly into Su Changan's waist, and then said: "Su Changan, I tell you..."
But at this point, Xia Fengxiang noticed Su Changan's expression: "What's that expression on your face?"
Su Changan pursed his lips and said, "Wife, I know we haven't done that embarrassing thing for a long time. I also know that you need it, but it's not good to do it in broad daylight, let's do it in the yard. Don't be so impatient, at least wait until night."
Xia Fengxiang's cheeks flushed, and he started to pinch her without any hesitation, and angrily scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! Can you be serious? I want to talk to you about serious matters!"
Su Changan nodded quickly.
After Xia Fengxiang let go, he breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at Xia Fengxiang: "This is also serious business, and you suddenly touched me, how would I know what you want to do, don't stare, wait a minute, if you are really angry, I will call Ruyu over, or Sheyue, or even Wei, anyway, after you scold them to vent your anger, we must be good, don't move."
At this point, Su Changan glanced to the north, which was the direction outside the pass, and then said, "Fetal Qi."
Then he stood up and said, "I'll go call them and buy you some food. You like the crispy fried cakes made by the old lady the most."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, but when he was about to speak, Su Changan had already run out of the yard.
But Xia Fengxiang was so smart that he naturally guessed something. But when he looked at the door, Yan Ruyu, Lian Wei, and Shentu Sheyue walked in.
Looking at Yan Ruyu: "Why are you eating so much? You are getting fat again."
Yan Ruyu blinked: "Ah?"
