Chapter 116: Showing affection, how can you be shy?
In fact, her father had originally not planned to bury him in the Taimiao. Before leaving, he said that he would take himself and her mother to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, dig a hole and bury them.
Because her father felt that he had been in power for more than ten years but had not accomplished what he wanted to do, so he was not qualified to be emperor.
But in fact, Da Xia entered a new era of prosperity after her father ascended the throne. To this day, Da Xia is so prosperous because of the foundation laid by her father.
Su Changan had not heard much about the late emperor's story, but when he heard what Xia Fengxiang said, he felt that the late emperor was probably unwilling to leave before he passed away.
For people with great ambitions, dying before fulfilling their ambitions is more painful than dying themselves.
On the way, Xia Fengxiang also briefly introduced the Taimiao to Su Changan.
Not only are the tablets of successive emperors of Great Xia stored in the Taimiao, but in the side halls there are also tablets of some ministers who have devoted themselves to the Great Xia and made great contributions.
Su Changan understood and knew that this was what the people called "being enshrined in the Taimiao".
Walk all the way.
There were very few palace maids and eunuchs coming to the Taimiao, and even if there were, they were just patrolling guards from the Chixia Army.
But after all, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang were followed by Yan Ruyu, so it didn't matter even if they met people from the Chixia Army.
After entering the huge gate of the Taimiao Palace, Su Changan saw three huge palaces that were as big as the Zhonghe Hall.
certainly
When Su Changan and his companions entered the temple, they were discovered by the palace maids and eunuchs on duty who were responsible for cleaning the temple.
When they saw Xia Fengxiang, they naturally bowed to him.
After Xia Fengxiang asked them to leave and told Yan Ruyu and Maomao to wait here, he pulled Su Changan into the main hall.
Maybe it's because there is equality between men and women in this world.
After entering the hall, Su Changan saw that next to the tablet of each Great Xia emperor was the tablet of the empress.
Although except for the earliest emperors such as Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, the other emperors in the past have no portraits.
However, under the tablet of each emperor, there is a scroll, which should be a portrait of the emperor when he was alive.
When Xia Fengxiang saw Su Changan coming in and looking around, he immediately pulled him, and then Xia Fengxiang began to worship his ancestors such as Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizu.
Su Changan naturally followed suit and bowed deeply towards the portrait and the tablet.
After paying respects to these ancestors of the Great Xia, Xia Fengxiang pulled Su Changan to a pair of tablets on the right side of the main hall.
In addition to the tablets, there are naturally also those with achievements and inscriptions on them.
There are two tablets in total, one for the emperor and one for the empress.
Su Changan took a look and found out that his father-in-law's name was Xia Huachang and his mother-in-law's name was Leng Shixi.
And just below the tablet, there was a scroll.
There are scrolls under the tablets of all the emperors and empresses in the hall.
After Xia Fengxiang opened the scroll, he hung it on the wall using a hook placed on the side.
Su Changan, who was originally full of awe in his heart, saw the portrait. After a moment of silence, he looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes and said, "My father left me this painting, what can I do?"
Su Changan had no choice but to look up at the painting again.
The painting shows a woman dressed simply and elegantly pulling a man's ear. The man tilted his head with a painful look on his face, looking at the woman as if he was begging for mercy.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said helplessly: "This is my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress."
Su Changan wanted to complain when he heard this, but he gave up. After all, the dead are the greatest and one should not make jokes about them.
So after taking the cushion, he knelt down in front of it.
The same was true for Xia Fengxiang.
Looking at the portraits of the late emperor and the late empress.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.
They are truly a perfect couple.
Especially when looking at the painting, although the man is in pain, his eyes are full of pity when he looks at the woman.
The woman pulled the man's ears, but her face was full of happiness.
This reminded Su Changan of the scene where he was strangled by Xia Fengxiang.
Thinking about how others watched me being strangled on the street today, I guess it must have looked like this.
The couple plays and jokes, and it seems a bit harmonious, but they are secretly happy.
Su Changan glanced at Xia Fengxiang and saw that she had her eyes closed and her hands clasped together. He didn't know what she was saying to her parents in her heart.
Su Changan turned around and looked at the portrait again, closing his eyes slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xia Fengxiang looking at him.
When Xia Fengxiang saw Su Changan open his eyes, he immediately turned his head and looked at the portrait of his parents again.
Su Changan didn't think much about anything else. He kowtowed to the two elders in the portraits, carefully placed the lit incense into the incense burner, and then paid great respects to the tablet.
After all, it was just two people who came to pay their respects privately.
There aren't that many serious rules.
So after carefully putting the painting back in place
Xia Fengxiang wanted to take Su Changan away.
Su Changan didn't say much, just looked around.
How to say it
At the beginning, he felt like someone was staring at him, but when he really looked around, there was no one there.
But he didn't tell Xia Fengxiang. After all, this was the imperial temple, and there might be dirty things here.
What if he tells Xia Fengxiang and scares his wife?
The two walked outside.
Xia Fengxiang looked at a side hall and said, "The tablets of the ministers who were allowed to enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple are placed there. The Duke of Qi who proposed to you before, and Mr. Gao's family both have elders who are worshipped there."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Can we not bring up the marriage proposal?"
Xia Fengxiang snorted, "What do you think? It's already happened, and you're not allowed to mention it?"
Su Changan was speechless.
However, Xia Fengxiang seemed to remember something, and looked at Su Changan and said, "Come to think of it, it should be Mao Mao's great grandfather, who is also enshrined in there."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
As expected of a cat, she really comes from a noble family.
A bit rebellious though.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Su Changan."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang raised his eyes and looked at Su Changan: "What did you just say to my father, the emperor and my mother?"
Su Changan said, "I thought about asking my father-in-law how to stop you from beating me, but when I looked at the painting and thought about it, I felt that it seemed impossible. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that I am the queen, and I am in the position of my mother-in-law."
Su Changan didn't finish his words, but Xia Fengxiang could tell that he was talking nonsense again, so he glared at Su Changan and said, "How dare you twist my ears if I give you the guts?!"
Su Changan was silent for a moment, looked at Xia Fengxiang, then looked at Xia Fengxiang's ears, thought for a while, then reached out and twisted it gently.
Although Xia Fengxiang didn't feel any pain, he rubbed his ears and immediately glared at Su Changan.
Su Changan immediately said, "You told me to twist it, I have to do it, I listen to you."
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang laughed and then cursed: "You are so stupid! It's because my father is not here, otherwise he would definitely beat you up for your behavior!"
As he said this, Xia Fengxiang grabbed Su Changan's hand.
Su Changan naturally held Xia Fengxiang's hand in his backhand.
As for holding hands, they now do it very naturally and casually, just like eating or sleeping.
Su Changan said: "My mother-in-law will definitely protect me. I can tell that she definitely likes me."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan: "If you don't want to tell me, forget it, humph!"
Then, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "Su Changan, you are not afraid of me, so you didn't use much force when you twisted your ears just now."
Su Changan shook his head: "Not really, mainly because I'm afraid of pain."
Xia Fengxiang was puzzled: "Why are you afraid of the pain? I'm the one whose ears are being twisted."
Su Changan said with a serious expression: "Your ears hurt, but I feel the pain in my heart."
Xia Fengxiang showed his disgust without disguising his expression: "So disgusting! Where do you get so many disgusting poems? It gives me goose bumps."
Su Changan was helpless, and after sighing, he said: "Qingge'er, you have changed. You are not the Xia Qingge I knew."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, knowing that Su Changan had started talking nonsense again, so he ignored him.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "I feel a little embarrassed when you do this."
Xia Fengxiang laughed out loud: "I'll embarrass you to death!"
Su Changan was helpless again.
However, when Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, he laughed even more happily.
Su Changan frowned: "Be serious, we are in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan: "Who knows more about my family's imperial temple, you or I?"
Su Changan had nothing to say.
Xia Fengxiang chuckled and pulled Su Changan out of the Taimiao.
Under the moon.
Little couple walking hand in hand.
However, they did not notice that behind them, at the entrance of the main hall of the Temple of Heaven, there was an old woman standing there, watching them leave.
"It's a man, right? A man wearing women's clothes really looks like a woman, oh~~~ or is he born with a feminine appearance and looks like this? Hey~~~ young people nowadays like to play like this? But he is so beautiful, he should really wear women's clothes. If he wears men's clothes and changes himself up a bit, I don't know how many girls will be obsessed with him."
"However, he is quite capable. He seems to have just started practicing martial arts, but he can already sense me. I am afraid he is another little demon. But think about it, it is time for our Great Xia to have another queen who can reach the limit."
The old woman walked to the tablet of Xia Fengxiang's parents, muttering to herself.
Then he looked at the tablet of Xia Fengxiang's mother and said, "Your daughter is getting married, and you can finally send this letter. There are so many people to entrust it to, but you chose to find me, an old woman who never leaves the imperial temple. Only you can do this."
"But I owe you this. It's because you came to me to chat and relieve your boredom. I'll send it to you in two days."
As she spoke, the old woman reached out and wiped the tablet of Xia Fengxiang's mother, then turned around and was about to leave with the same expression of indifference as before.
But after taking two steps, he turned back to look at the tablet and said, "Forget it. I'll teach the kid a few tricks when the time comes. I'll give you the title as a gift to your son-in-law."
After saying that, he turned around and continued to leave, but continued to mutter: "That appearance, is indeed very beautiful, comparable to me when I was young, but a man is as good-looking as me, hey, this world is lucky that Feng Xiang acted early, if she had gone out to mix in the underworld, she would probably be like me, and would have messed up the underworld with her looks alone. Oh, it's great to be young, but it's a pity that I was slept with by that old bastard."
The voice of the old woman mumbling to herself became smaller and smaller in the already eerily quiet Taimiao Hall, until it finally disappeared completely, and the old woman was completely immersed in the darkness.
…
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang had originally agreed to go to Zhonghe Hall to watch the moon today.
But after leaving the Taimiao, Yan Ruyu said that Yang Guofu and others at the Zhonghe Hall were waiting for His Majesty at the door.
Xia Fengxiang is a bit annoying.
But it doesn’t matter, he just pulled Su Changan back to Lingqi Pavilion.
After all, Xia Fengxiang didn’t care where he looked at the moon, as long as Su Changan was by his side.
In addition, Yan Ruyu also reported that Zhu Huang and Zhao Xiaojia were also waiting at the Zhonghe Hall.
The reason was that Gui Yu of the Xuanjia Army and Zhao Xiaojia had a conflict in the Shihua Pavilion and fought each other. Later, Zhu Huang and General Meng Qin also came.
But a lot of people were still injured.
As Zhu Huang brought more people with him, many people in the Cavalry Battalion were seriously injured. Zhao Xiaojia was also badly beaten, with a broken arm and his head injured by a brick.
Now Zhao Xiaojia wants to ask Xia Fengxiang for justice.
Zhu Huang also wanted to ask Xia Fengxiang for justice.
Now, Sun Shang Gong is dealing with Yang Guofu and others while also dealing with Zhao Xiaojia.
After hearing this, Xia Fengxiang laughed, but ignored it. He just asked Yan Ruyu to tell Sun Shanggong and let Yang Guofu's people know what happened. At the same time, he also told Zhao Xiaojia that Yang Guofu's son was in jail tonight.
Then he added, “Serve them with delicious food and drinks and leave them alone.”
Yan Ruyu received the order and left.
Su Changan frowned as he listened.
However, Xia Fengxiang saw this frown, and he said to Su Changan, "Don't think about these things, you don't need to use your brain."
Su Changan felt helpless, but he nodded to indicate that he didn't want to.
On the familiar rooftop of Lingqi Pavilion.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang sat side by side.
In the yard, Xia and others were standing below and looked over there.
I saw such a big and round moon as the background, and His Majesty and the Young Lady were right in the front. It looked so beautiful!
Looking at the big moon, Xia Fengxiang leaned on Su Changan's shoulder and said, "Su Changan, what are you thinking about?"
But after saying that, he looked at Su Changan with a serious expression: "If you dare to say something cheesy like you miss me, I will punish you."
Su Changan curled his lips, thought for a moment and said, "I'm thinking about telling you a secret."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Su Changan: "Is it something important?"
Su Changan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's not important to others, but it's very important to you."
Xia Fengxiang was so smart that he immediately guessed what Su Changan was going to say. After coughing, he asked, "Will it be possible that this will affect our relationship?"
Su Changan nodded: "Well, it's possible."
Xia Fengxiang continued to ask: "Will I know it in the future or will I never know it?"
Su Changan thought about it seriously and said, "I will definitely know it later."
Xia Fengxiang said "Oh", "Then don't tell me. I'll know it when I need to."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Xia Fengxiang: "Not curious?"
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Not curious."
Su Changan pursed his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He felt that now that he had said enough and was feeling the same way, it was time to speak.
But Xia Fengxiang continued, "I don't intend to listen either. Besides, I have a secret that I haven't told you. It won't affect anyone else. It's a secret between you and me."
Su Changan heard this, thought for a moment and then said: "I'll tell you mine, and you tell me yours?"
Xia Fengxiang shook his head: "I'm not curious about yours, and you shouldn't be curious about mine either. We will know when we need to know."
Su Changan curled his lips: "But I'm a little curious about yours."
Xia Fengxiang raised his eyes and looked at Su Changan: "You'd better say you are not curious. And you are not allowed to tell your secrets. Anyway, I will know it when the time comes."
Su Changan was speechless.
However, looking at the girl next to him, Su Changan suddenly thought that Xiao Xia might know that he is a boy, so she didn't let him say it at this time.
But on second thought, Su Changan wondered how Xia Fengxiang knew that he was a man.
Let’s not talk about how beautiful she is.
Even if you sleep in the same bed several times, your clothes will be tightly worn, so there is no way to know.
Um!
Definitely not knowing.
But thinking about it, Su Changan sighed.
How to say it.
Su Changan confessed his love yesterday, and actually he was thinking of saying that he is a man today.
result
I have confessed my love for her and asked for marriage today. The moon is so bright, the atmosphere is so good, and my mood is right.
Don't let yourself say it.
Su Changan was a little depressed.
But looking at Xia Fengxiang, Su Changan still felt like saying something.
But before Su Changan could speak.
Xia Fengxiang said, "I don't want to know, so don't tell me. If you tell me, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Su Changan curled his lips, good, it was blocked again.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan's expression, smiled for a moment, and then scolded, "Just like an idiot, so smart in some things, but stupid in others."
Su Changan frowned: "Miss Xia Qingge, it's a bit harsh for you to curse like that."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, then looked at the moon and thought for a while before saying, "Su Changan, do you miss home?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, thinking of the village that was destroyed after the invasion of foreign tribes in the north: "Yeah."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "I'll go back with you to have a look later."
Su Changan shook his head: "I won't go. If I go, I will be different and very sad. If I cry, you will laugh at me."
Xia Fengxiang pouted: "If I cry in the future, will you laugh at me?"
Su Changan nodded honestly: "What a joke."
Then, added: “But I won’t make you cry.”
Xia Fengxiang was somewhat happy when he heard this, but he still said, "How can you promise not to let me cry? There are so many reasons to make people cry."
Su Changan reached out and took out the 'Acacia Seed': "Aunt Yan said that with a knife, anything can be made impossible."
Xia Fengxiang laughed out loud: "Listen to Aunt Yan, Aunt Yan also cried that year, and I was the one who made her happy. But your knife is like this. Red beans grow in the south, and they sprout in spring. I hope you can pick more of them, as they are the most acacia. I don't know how you can come up with so many beautiful poems when you are so silly."
Su Changan was speechless, wondering whether he should talk to Xia Fengxiang and ask him to stop bullying him. He felt very sad.
But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. It doesn't seem sad to be squeezed by the person I like.
It's really sad to be squeezed by cats like that.
Su Changan said, "I missed you so much in the Su Mansion, so I wrote this poem."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan with a suspicious look on his face.
Su Changan nodded firmly: "Really!"
Xia Fengxiang snorted, "Ruyu told me that someone wanted to eat some red bean-filled snacks, so she suddenly thought of this. And she said it in a nice way, saying she missed me or something, humph."
Su Changan immediately frowned: "Xia Qingge, tell me who I made the last snack for and who ate it."
Xia Fengxiang was embarrassed for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately said confidently: "I ate it, so what! Is it not okay? Is it not allowed? Do you dare to question me! And you dare to call me by my full name, are you being mean to me!"
Su Changan stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, feeling a headache.
However, Su Changan thought of something, and looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Now that our relationship has been known by many people, how about I give this poem to Xun Kuang? Let him publish it in a journal? After all, I have long wanted to show off that my wife is the empress."
When Xia Fengxiang heard this, he immediately said, "How dare you! This is so embarrassing!"
Su Changan frowned: "How can I be shy when showing affection?"
