Chapter 126: Her Majesty the Queen is truly a deity!
The night was as dark as ink and pitch black. The night inside the palace was even more terrifyingly quiet. The breeze blew past and the sound of the mist could be heard.
After returning to Lingqi Pavilion, Su Changan took a shower and went to bed.
Although the process was a bit strange, after talking it out with Xia Fengxiang, Su Changan finally felt relieved.
As for why I didn't expect the empress to know, or why I didn't notice it earlier.
It’s not important to think about it now.
So Su Changan was too lazy to think about those things.
Su Changan didn't think much about what Yan Ruyu told him about the Qingyi Sect.
After all, the Winter Examination was approaching, and there were countless students and warriors from all over Daxia coming to the capital to take the exam.
Even though the Shen Ce Mansion closely monitors any martial artist who comes to the capital, it is impossible for them to cover every detail.
So there is nothing to think about these things.
I've been assassinated so many times. It would be exhausting to think about it every time.
only
After Su Changan closed his eyes, the image of Xia Fengxiang acting coquettishly appeared in his mind.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Very annoying~~~
What should I do?
My wife is both charming and cute!!
…
When Su Changan woke up the next day, he had dark circles under his eyes and looked a little tired.
Although he still woke up in the noon, he missed his wife so much that he fell asleep in the middle of the night, and he didn't sleep very well, so there was nothing he could do about it.
but
Su Changan was also helpless about this.
What can I do then?
I'm so useless, there's nothing I can do about it.
After walking out yawning, Xia Xia and others were a little worried when they saw Su Changan's appearance, but Su Changan shook his head to indicate that everything was fine.
However, just when Su Changan was about to practice with the sword, the young eunuch Lu Cai walked around the hall and came to Su Changan to pay his respects.
Su Changan looked at Lu Cai now.
He was wearing a green robe. Although he didn't have a fish bag, he was still an official.
Lu Cai felt a little embarrassed when Su Changan looked at him, and Su Changan's hair was messy at the moment. Although he had not washed, his face was very white. Even though he had some dark circles under his eyes, it was just icing on the cake.
In Lu Cai's eyes, Su Changan at the moment was as beautiful as a fairy, and was not on the same level as those palace maids who were dressed up in fancy clothes.
Su Changan saw Lu Cai blushing and joked, "Master Lu is wearing a green robe."
Hearing this, Lu Cai immediately shook his head and said, "Miss, please don't tease me. I'm scared. This outfit is because my master found a job for me in the Internal Servants Bureau that no one is doing."
When speaking, Lu Cai was a little flustered.
Su Changan smiled and said, "I'm not kidding you anymore. What's the matter with you today?"
Lu Cai nodded immediately, "Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. The Imperial College's Mu Xu Jijiu has obtained permission from His Majesty to hold a literary gathering in the Imperial College this year and also wants some chrysanthemums from the flower house. And the Taichang Temple also wants chrysanthemums for the Double Ninth Festival. So I found some of the best ones as soon as possible and sent them to you first, so that you won't be without chrysanthemums to see when the time comes."
Su Changan was stunned. After Mid-Autumn Festival comes Double Ninth Festival, but Double Ninth Festival is still more than ten days away, almost twenty days away.
But looking at Lu Cai's expression, he knew it was a token of his love, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu."
Hearing this, Lu Cai immediately looked at Su Changan and said, "Miss, please call me Lu Cai. If you continue to call me sir, I won't dare to wear it."
Su Changan looked at Lu Cai and smiled before asking, "Have you eaten?"
Lu Cai immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Sister Xia just brought some snacks to eat. Miss, you can practice swordplay. I still have to go to Master."
Su Changan nodded: "Go ahead."
Lu Cai bowed, turned around and left happily.
Su Changan could see that Lu Cai had probably been waiting for him to wake up, so he came to greet him specifically.
After all, this had happened before, so Su Changan specifically found Lu Cai and told him that there was no need to do this. But although Lu Cai agreed, he still had to greet him every time he came to Lingqi Pavilion.
Lu Cai was happy. He felt that seeing Miss Chang'an smile made the weather warm.
Su Changan smiled and glanced at Lu Cai's back, then looked at the chrysanthemums that Xuan Xia and the others had placed in the hall and around the yard. They were indeed very beautiful.
Then
So I picked up the knife and planned to practice with it.
Although Yan Yunxiao said that he wanted to find a sparring partner, and the sparring partner was Lian Wei.
But after all, it hasn't started yet, so Su Changan still plans to follow the routine and continue practicing his sword.
That kick that flew towards the Pegasus yesterday.
Su Changan clearly felt that practicing sword skills was useful, especially practicing [Yiweiting] which was very useful.
This made Su Changan more interested in practicing sword skills.
As for saying.
Lu Cai just mentioned the literary gathering that Mu Xu was going to hold at the Imperial College.
Xia Fengxiang told him yesterday.
Many students came to the capital to take the imperial examinations. Among these people, there were naturally some famous scholars who came to the capital.
So Mu Xu thought of using this as a base to hold a literary gathering, allowing students in the Imperial College to interact with these great scholars, and also giving some invited students from outside a chance to gain insight.
It was to encourage the students who were going to take the imperial examinations and to cheer them on, and it also helped the empress to see some famous scholars among these foreign students.
As for whether Su Changan wants to participate.
Su Changan planned to go. After all, some things may seem insignificant, but when they are done, they can win the favor of many people.
And I, representing Xia Fengxiang, went there in person. It was very important to influence how those students viewed the current empress.
For the sake of my wife, it’s okay to take a trip.
As for the Double Ninth Festival sacrifice, this is something that is done every year. Yesterday at Xia Fengxiang's place, Su Changan saw the memorial sent by the Taichang Temple.
Xia Fengxiang also complained a lot, saying that the etiquette was too complicated.
However, the Double Ninth Festival sacrifice is an ancestral custom and there is nothing we can do about it.
While regulating his breath and holding the [Yiweiting] position, Su Changan began to swing his sword.
Although Su Changan didn't have much understanding after the kick yesterday, he roughly felt something.
That's because my foot hurts after I kicked it yesterday.
It was because I used too much force that my feet hurt.
Su Changan thought about this matter carefully and asked Yan Ruyu.
Although Yan Ruyu said a lot, Su Changan was still confused.
So, when Su Changan was practicing sword skills today, he wanted to try what would happen if he swung with all his strength.
but
The result is that the soft knife is erratic and even crooked.
But fortunately, I have a few spare knives, so I haven't stopped practicing.
Then Su Changan tried several other methods.
But all failed.
In short,
Today's sword practice wasn't going well.
Even after finishing practicing sword skills, Su Changan was still a little depressed as to what was wrong.
But then he saw Mao Mao floating out like a ghost, with green liquid wine in his hand and asking Su Changan to drink it.
He asked Su Changan to go to the study room immediately and practice calligraphy.
It is still a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions".
And I have already written more than a hundred chapters.
Now Su Changan's handwriting can truly be described as unique.
I don’t know if it’s because Su Changan wasn’t specifically trying to look good, but was just following the feeling he had when practicing with the sword.
Not to mention that the handwriting is still a bit ugly, but the strokes of Su Changan's handwriting are particularly sharp.
According to what the girls said, "It's not very good-looking, but I feel like I can watch it."
According to Xia Fengxiang, it is a 'original font?'
Su Changan didn't mind these words. After all, Maomao always said it was "ugly as hell". With such comments, other people couldn't irritate him.
When Su Changan finished practicing calligraphy.
It's already afternoon time.
Originally Su Changan was thinking about taking a walk, but Yan Yunxiao and Zhu Huang came.
After the two of them saluted Su Changan, Yan Yunxiao still looked calm and sat casually in the hall.
However, Zhu Huang, who was particularly relaxed at the palace banquet that day, became a little restrained after entering Lingqi Pavilion.
Yan Yunxiao cursed her for being pretentious.
Zhu Huang smiled and said, "Now that you are in the harem, you still have to follow some rules. You can't be careless about this."
Yan Yunxiao was too lazy to pay attention.
Su Changan smiled helplessly, helped Zhu Huang pass the tea over, and said, "Your Majesty calls the general brother, so I should call him brother too."
Zhu Huang was a little hesitant when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, he grinned and said, "Originally, this is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty asked me to do it because I was the one who delayed it. If you ask me to do it again, it would be shameless of me. But if I don't agree, the relationship will be far away, so I agreed."
Yan Yunxiao listened and rolled his eyes: "What are you barking at? Before you came, you asked me what I would do if the young lady called you brother."
Zhu Huang curled his lips when he heard this: "No one would ruin my show like you do."
Yan Yunxiao was too lazy to pay attention.
Su Changan looked at Zhu Huang and said, "Of course I have to call you brother, and His Majesty told me about you, so I should call you brother. Besides, you don't have to be so reserved when you come to my place. After all, this is a remote place in the harem. If you follow so many rules, it would make us distant."
Hearing this, Zhu Huang was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the teacup, looked at Su Changan and said, "Then, can we do it in private?"
Su Changan nodded.
Zhu Huang chuckled and found Su Changan more and more pleasing to his eyes.
But it's inexplicable, why did I think of the late queen again? They are so similar, not in appearance, but in that they are both equally lovable and kind.
Zhu Huang did not hesitate and looked at Su Changan and said, "Actually, I came here today for a serious matter, but it is also a personal matter of mine. Shall we talk about personal matters first?"
Su Changan nodded.
Zhu Huang stood up and clasped his fists towards Su Changan, saying, "Someone wanted to kill me, but you discovered it yesterday, so you are my savior. I came here today to thank you first. Then I wanted to say to you, 'You are truly a god!' Let's not talk about my insight into people's hearts, but just by going out, I found out that the King of Shu hired someone to kill me. This is incredible! If there is any wine today, I will toast you!"
As he spoke, Zhu Huang clasped his fists and bowed towards Su Changan.
Su Changan blinked and looked at Zhu Huang.
I didn’t understand!
But I couldn't help but think of what Yan Ruyu said about the female swindler from the Qingyi Sect.
Is it such a coincidence?
He turned back to look at Yan Yunxiao, who looked at Maomao: "Isn't there wine there?"
Maomao was stunned for a moment, but then he looked down at the wine he had prepared for Su Changan, wondering what it would taste like after he drank it.
Then he looked at Zhu Huang again, stepped forward and handed the wine to Zhu Huang: "Here's the wine."
As he said that, he poured two cups and placed them on the table.
Su Changan looked at the green wine and turned to look at Maomao.
very good!
The little cat is plotting against me!
Zhu Huang was also a little stunned when looking at the green wine.
Yan Yunxiao said, "The wine that cured your butt was made by this little girl."
Zhu Huang suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Maomao, clasping his fists: "Miss, you drank that wine quite well. This wine was also brewed by you."
The cat nodded.
Zhu Huang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, young lady!"
After saying that, he turned around, picked up the wine cup and said to Su Changan: "Zhu Huang, thank you for saving my life, Miss!"
Then, drink it all in one gulp.
Su Changan wanted to stop Zhu Huang, but it was too late.
But seeing that Zhu Huangjing drank it all in one gulp, it would be bad if he didn't drink it himself.
So he could only look at the green wine. After a long silence, he finally picked it up and drank it all.
Then Su Changan looked at Maomao.
Maomao faced Su Changan with a smile, looking very happy, but with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
but
Su Changan had a bad feeling.
Zhu Huang looked at Su Changan so cool and said, "Hey! Your Majesty has good taste!"
However, after drinking this glass of wine, Zhu Huang felt quite comfortable and thought about asking the girl to give him some more before leaving.
But at that moment, Zhu Huang looked at Su Changan and said, "Yesterday, when you were doing business outside, you met the man from the Qingyi Sect. The people from the Shen Ce Palace investigated. Although they didn't catch the girl, they finally caught one this morning. After interrogating him all night, he confessed a little and said that the purpose of his trip was to kill me. That's why I came to thank you, Your Majesty. Otherwise, even if I knew that someone had been thinking about my life, those people have always been in the dark. Now that I know that the people from the Qingyi Sect are going to take action, it is convenient to guard against them."
Su Changan heard this and thought, what a coincidence? He had run into her?
Zhu Huang smiled and said, "My life is not worth much, but I have to finish what I should do before I can go downstairs to see the late emperor, so I really have to thank the young lady. But I didn't say that the young lady is a deity for nothing. I heard about the incident with Li Jiulang's daughter. Damn, if this really makes the Queen Mother's wife have a plan, the wife is nothing, just a lunatic who relies on her status, but Li Jiulang is a difficult person."
"But! Miss, you saved that girl Li Jiulang, you are so smart and you obviously saw through all this a long time ago. Tell me, if you are not a god, then what is. And Miss, your literary talent is also top-notch. I flipped through that shitty list dozens of times, hundreds of times, and I only saw a number one on the Rouge List. What a crap thing! The number one on the Rouge List for Miss is a lie to me. They should just make a Celestial Fairy List, and Miss should be on it alone. Those mediocre women are trying to grab the Rouge List!"
"And that list of literary talent, damn it, it hasn't been updated yet. I'll take the soldiers to take a look. My young lady should have been ranked first with just that poem 'When Will the Bright Moon Rise', and she wouldn't have to wait for the Winter Examination or the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival. So don't be angry about this, young lady. I'll go to that Shuya Building and station 10,000 soldiers there, and I'll see if they dare to wait for the Winter Examination or the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival."
Listening to Zhu Huang's words, Su Changan first wanted to say that it was all a coincidence and that he was really not that good, but as he listened, he felt embarrassed.
Even Xia and others who were waiting outside started laughing.
Looking at Zhu Huang, I feel that he is not as scary as the legend says. Instead, he is very cute.
Because how could a man who praises his own daughter like this be a bad person? His vision is so accurate.
Zhu Huang didn't blush at all, with a sincere look on his face, he continued: "Miss, please don't laugh at me, I'm not well-educated. The late emperor and the late queen asked me to read more books, but when I read, I get a headache just looking at those words. Oh, right, allergic! I'm allergic to those words, so I can't think of any good words. Miss, please don't laugh at me, but these words, from the bottom of my heart, are more real than gold and silver!"
Su Changan smiled and said, "My brother is almost talking to me like crazy."
Zhu Huang chuckled, but still said: "No matter what, we have to thank you, Miss."
Su Changan wanted to explain, but after thinking for a while he said, "Brother, you came to thank me empty-handed?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huang patted his clothes and looked at Yan Yunxiao awkwardly: "The commander-in-chief is not kind. I asked to bring some things, but you said I didn't need to."
Yan Yunxiao was not indulging Zhu Huang, and said unhappily: "I don't know who said that our young lady is not so vulgar and doesn't need to bring anything."
Zhu Huang smiled awkwardly, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp: "Next time, definitely next time."
However, having said that, Zhu Huang felt closer to Su Changan as he looked at him.
If Su Changan had continued to explain, he wouldn't have thought too much about it, but when Su Changan said this, it was really to his chagrin.
but
Looking at Su Changan, Zhu Huang sighed and poured another glass of wine. After drinking it, he said, "Your Majesty is still very discerning. When I was in Shu before, I heard that Your Majesty had come to see you. I wondered what kind of person you were, but when I saw you, you were extraordinary!"
Su Changan smiled helplessly: "I am lucky to have met His Majesty."
Zhu Huang smiled and said, "It sounds like what Your Majesty said, that she was lucky to meet you. It's similar to what you said, and it should be recorded in the history books."
But after saying this, Zhu Huang looked at Su Changan and said, "Now that we have finished talking about personal matters, let's talk about business."
Su Changan nodded.
Xun Xia and others on the side naturally walked out of Lingqi Pavilion one after another.
Wait until only Su Changan, Yan Yunxiao and Zhu Huang are left.
Zhu Huang stood up and clasped his fists towards Su Changan and said, "For these two things, the musket and the cannon, Zhu Huang thanks you on behalf of all the soldiers of Daxia!"
Su Changan was stunned.
Zhu Huang continued, "Daxia may seem peaceful, but it was all won at the cost of the lives of its soldiers. There have been no major battles in the border areas, whether in the west or the north, in recent years, but if a war really broke out, a huge number of people would have died. However, your invention of cannons and muskets has saved many lives. This is a very important matter. Zhu Huang has to thank you regardless of anything else."
