Chapter 175 The Queen said, don’t talk, let me enjoy this moment
Mi Wanjun heard this. His many years of experience in officialdom made him feel that there was something wrong with what the queen said, but he couldn't figure it out, so he thought he was overthinking it and immediately bowed and saluted: "If your majesty and the queen like it, you can tell me that I can send this wine every day. I am also looking for delicacies in the market. When I find them, I will definitely send them to the queen."
Su Changan looked at this Mi Wanjun, Lord Mi, and was a little surprised that even though he had explained it so clearly, this secretary hadn't noticed it yet. It seemed that all his thoughts were spent on flattering him. So he smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you, Lord Mi, you are so thoughtful."
Mi Wanjun immediately said in shame: "No, no, the Queen is the mother of our Great Xia, she must be fine."
After saying this, Mi Wanjun looked at Su Changan and then glanced at Mu Xu, obviously having something to hide.
Mu Xu bowed to Su Changan and said jokingly, "Empress, Lord Mi must have something important to ask for. I am getting in the way of his business here."
When Mi Wanjun heard this, she immediately said, "Master Jijiu is joking."
Then, he looked at Su Changan and said, "Teacher has been thinking about how to help you, the Queen. Yesterday, I accidentally got a piece of warm jade. It is smooth and feels as warm as fat. I asked the doctor and he said that if you heat it with hot water and then put it on the abdomen, it can cure diseases. It is similar to this Hundred Flowers Jade Wine. So today, teacher specially asked me to bring it to the Queen."
As she spoke, Mi Wanjun took out a brocade box from her arms.
When he opened the brocade box, he saw a palm-sized piece of light green jade, which had a soft color and looked very valuable.
Mi Wanjun carefully presented the brocade box in her hand to Su Changan.
Mu Xu got closer, looked at the jade inside and said, "Green Bamboo Dharma Body Green Pond, good jade, good jade. Yang Shanchang is really willing to spend this time."
Mi Wanjun just smiled and didn't say much.
Su Changan reached out and picked up the jade. The jade was so smooth and silky, it was very rare.
but
Since it was given, he must have accepted it, so he looked at Mi Wanjun and said, "Taifu gave me such a valuable gift, I feel a little ashamed to accept it."
Mi Wanjun's originally smiling expression immediately restrained, and she bowed with a solemn face and said: "The teacher said that he could not come in person, and asked for forgiveness from the queen. He also said that it was his fault that the Japanese disturbed the queen yesterday. Because he failed to knock those Japanese in time, those barbaric islanders dared to be proud in my China today. This is to apologize to you. It was also during the morning court today that he promised Your Majesty that he would make amends to you. As for the matter of the jade, it was out of the teacher's heart. He was worried about the queen's health, so he sent it away, and there was no other intention."
At the end, Mi Wanjun bowed deeply.
Mu Xu looked at Mi Wanjun, who was full of joy, and said with a smile: "The things are good, but Master Mi, I'm afraid you will be punished for what you did when you go back."
Mi Wanjun was stunned for a moment. She looked at Mu Xu and then at Su Changan. She wanted to ask, but because Su Changan was there, she didn't dare to ask.
Mu Xu looked at Mi Wanjun and saw that she really didn't realize it. He smiled and said, "I was just teasing you. Look how nervous you are, Master Mi."
Mi Wanjun was embarrassed, but when she thought carefully about what she had just said, there was nothing wrong.
So he immediately thought that Mu Xu was teasing her, so he looked at Su Changan and continued, "Your Majesty, in fact, the reason why the Grand Tutor didn't come is that he was busy with the wedding of His Majesty and you."
Su Changan looked at Mi Wanjun.
Mi Wanjun continued, "The Grand Tutor knows that your Majesty and the Empress are in love and are a perfect match made in heaven. It is even more fortunate for Daxia and the people that you two are the Emperor and Empress. However, many people in foreign countries do not know this yet, so the Grand Tutor has been writing letters in person these days to inform those foreign countries that January 1 next year will be a day for the whole country of Daxia to celebrate, and to invite people from foreign countries, except for those who will definitely come to pay homage, to come and participate. This matter is important and cannot be written by others, so the teacher did it himself. I heard today that the Grand Tutor has written more than 20 letters, each one is different. In addition, after getting the approval of your Majesty, the Grand Tutor invited many embroiderers far away in Jiangnan to hurry up and make brocade, and they must be sent to the palace before the end of this month to make clothes for the Empress and the clothes she will wear in the future."
After that, Mi Wanjun added: "The Grand Tutor is in charge of etiquette, and many of the procedures and matters of this wedding must be handled by him personally, but His Majesty took into consideration the Grand Tutor's age and health, so he handed the matter over to the Queen, Lord Cao, and Lord Li. Therefore, the Grand Tutor wanted to do what he could from other places and devote himself to the wedding of His Majesty and the Queen."
Mu Xu looked at Mi Wanjun, and he could use the phrase "devoting all his efforts" when writing a letter or calling someone. No wonder Yang Shanchang asked you to deliver it.
Su Changan looked at Lord Mi who spared no effort to praise his teacher, smiled and said, "Lord Mi, thank the Master for me, and ask him to take care of himself."
Mi Wanjun immediately bowed.
But at this moment.
"So, the Grand Tutor must be tired because he hasn't come to the morning court these days. Please tell him to take his time and not to work so hard."
When everyone in Lingqi Pavilion heard the voice, they turned around to look at the gate and saluted immediately.
Su Changan also stood up and looked there.
The empress was seen wearing a black robe embroidered with golden dragons. She walked into the Lingqi Pavilion, smiled secretly at Su Changan, and then walked in immediately with a stern face.
After arriving next to Su Changan in the hall, he pulled Su Changan to sit down and said, "Everyone, stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mu Xu and Mi Wanjun spoke in unison.
Yan Ruyu, Xun Xia and others on the side also bowed and walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Mi Wanjun lowered her head and pursed her lips. Although she didn't expect His Majesty to come, she had thought of this a long time ago, so she was calm.
Can.
The Great Priest Mu Xumu seemed a little guilty. He lowered his head, and looked up at the empress from time to time, and sometimes even at Su Changan, with his eyes as if he wanted to say something.
The empress saw Mu Xu like this and didn't bother to pay attention. She glanced at the wine in the food box and the jade on the table, and said with a smile: "Mi Wanjun, your wine smells good."
Mi Wanjun immediately replied: "Today I specially present this to your Majesty and the Queen."
The empress smiled and said, "Master, are you really feeling much better after drinking this?"
Mi Wanjun immediately replied: "Yes. The teacher drinks often."
After this answer came out, Mu Xu looked at Mi Wanjun in surprise, thinking that her brain should not be so stupid. She was so smart on weekdays, why was she like a pig today?
The empress smiled faintly: "In that case, we should let the queen taste some. Her health is not good. You are very thoughtful and did a good job."
Mi Wanjun was overjoyed. Being praised by His Majesty was completely different from being praised by the Queen.
Especially since these two people just praised me.
The empress smiled and continued, "Go back and tell the old tutor what I just said to the queen."
Mi Wanjun had already finished her work for the day, so when she heard this, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave."
After saying this, he bent over and respectfully left the yard.
but
Watching Mi Wanjun leave, the empress reached out to pick up the paper and pen placed aside, and casually wrote a sentence, "Such a fine wine, you would rather enjoy it alone, why not let me and the queen enjoy it?"
After writing, Xia Fengxiang picked it up and handed it to Sun Shanggong: "Send it to Yang Mansion in advance, and tell the Taifu to live with your own children and not to have a separate residence."
After receiving the imperial edict, Sun Shang Gong carefully put it away, responded, bowed and left.
Su Changan naturally saw what the empress wrote, and in fact he was also thinking about whether he should ask the empress to write something like this and send it to Yang Shanchang.
But I didn't expect that my wife would come.
I wrote the same thing right away, so I don’t have to explain anything.
As the saying goes, two different people can sleep in the same bed.
Thinking of this, Su Changan glanced at the dragon robe on Xia Fengxiang.
Wearing a dragon robe, touching the wife's hand is like touching a dragon's claw, touching her leg is like touching a dragon's leg, and touching her butt is like touching a dragon's leg.
Isn’t it just touching the dragon’s butt?
Thinking of this, Su Changan looked behind Xia Fengxiang.
But before the eyes reached that part, Mu Xu suddenly bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I know my crime! Please forgive me."
This scared Su Changan, and he couldn't help but look at the chief priest.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Mu Xu and said with a smile: "Mu Jijiu is such a high-ranking official, yet you dare to leave your post without permission. Can I punish you?"
If it were other officials, they would definitely be trembling with fear at this moment.
But Grand Priest Mu was not like other officials, so he did as he pleased. He said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have trained students for Daxia, and your majesty is extremely knowledgeable. The Imperial Academy is waiting for you to give lectures. And if you don't give lectures now, when the results are announced in a few days, those students will be busy crying because they didn't pass the exams, and they won't have time to study. Therefore, I, Yao Yuanzai and others have borrowed the courage to leave our posts and come to ask for help from your majesty."
As he spoke, Grand Priest Mu reached out and took out the Hundred Flowers Jade Wine, and poured a glass for Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan respectively.
When Su Changan saw Mu Xu like this, although he got used to it, he still wanted to sigh every time. He was not afraid of scholars talking to you about reason, but he was afraid of scholars presenting facts and arguments to you and making twisted claims.
Mu Xu then added: "Su Wenqing is over there reviewing the papers. I am an old minister who is constantly being bullied by him. It would be better for me to come out and do something useful."
Xia Fengxiang was used to Mu Xu's behavior, so he asked, "Whether you go or not is not up to me. You need the Queen's nod. Go back and wait for news. If the Queen nods, you will go. If not, I will send someone to inform you."
Hearing this, Mu Xu curled his lips, but looking at Xia Fengxiang, the chief priest suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Su Changan and said, "Empress."
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu and could tell that he was begging him for help. However, thinking of what Xia Fengxiang had just said, he picked up the Hundred Flowers Jade Wine and poured a glass for Xia Fengxiang, poured himself another glass, and then ignored Mu Xu and looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang naturally picked up the wine glass, and after clinking glasses gently, the two of them drank it all in one gulp.
It really is jade wine!
It is refreshing and leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth.
Xia Fengxiang sighed: "That's great, shall we use this wine at our wedding?"
Su Changan shook his head: "It's good, but it's too expensive. You should save money wherever you can. Your reputation is the most important. You can't leave a reputation for having an extravagant wedding."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, but still said with a smile: "Whatever you say is what I'll listen to you."
Mu Xu looked at the young couple singing the same tune, completely ignoring him, and even feeding him something for no apparent reason. However, after thinking for a moment, the Lord Jijiu changed his words and said, "The Queen is virtuous and kind, and she is truly worthy of being the mother of the Great Xia Kingdom."
Xia Fengxiang suppressed a smile and looked at Mu Xu: "Grand Priest Mu, why don't you leave? Do you really want me to ask Commander Yan to come out and ask you to leave?"
Hearing this, Mu Xu immediately shook his head: "No, no, I will leave now, but before I leave, I have something to say..."
But just as Mu Xu said this, Xia Fengxiang immediately said, "Ruyu, send Mu Jijiu out of the palace."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu immediately clasped her fists and accepted the order, then came to Mu Xu: "Master Jijiu, please."
Mu Xu looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Your Majesty, I am... no, Deputy Commander, wait for me to say it, Deputy Commander Yan! Your Majesty, the Queen, your Majesty, you must come tonight, I have boasted that I can definitely invite you."
By the time he finished speaking, Mu Xu had already been grabbed by the collar by Yan Ruyu and was dragged out.
This is Yan Yunxiao learned from Yan Ruyu.
Because she remembered Yan Yunxiao sending someone away, that was it.
For a long time, Mu Xu could still be heard yelling.
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, looked at Su Changan and said, "If it were my father, he would have had him punished."
Su Changan asked with a smile: "Why are you free to come here today?"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "I'm bored. That's why I came to play with you. You don't want to see me!"
Su Changan was helpless for a moment.
But before he could say anything, Xia Fengxiang said, "Let's go and take a look tonight."
Su Changan asked: "We?"
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "I will definitely go. Even if you don't give lectures, I will find time to go and see those students. Especially since Xun Kuang has already drawn up a list of students going to Japan, I want to see with my own eyes whether those people are qualified or not, so as not to mess up some of my plans."
Although he will definitely be summoned to the Zhonghe Hall at that time, what he sees then is completely different from what he sees in private.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Are you still pretending to be the eunuch beside me? Forget it, how about a palace maid instead? She's prettier."
Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan, then said, "Let's both put on makeup and go and see. If necessary, we can show up. If not, we won't show up. Although Mu Xu did nothing wrong in this matter, he was a little disrespectful, so he should be punished. Father also told me that I don't need to worry too much about Mu Xu's Imperial College. With him around, there will be no shortage of scholars, but this person tends to be too pushy, so he needs to be punished from time to time. I came here today because I was afraid that you would agree to it."
After that, he looked towards the gate and said, "Cat."
Maomao poked her head out to look into the yard, and after making sure that Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang hadn't done anything, she stood up and said, "I'm here."
In front of Xia Fengxiang, the cat is still very well-behaved.
Not as presumptuous as he was in front of Su Changan.
Xia Fengxiang said: "Su Changan and I will put on some makeup so that no one can recognize us. Can we do it?"
Maomao nodded: "Yeah, sure, it just takes some time."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Why don't you just draw now? You and Ruyu should draw too, and come along."
Maomao nodded again: "Yes."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "That's it."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and sighed helplessly: "I'll listen to you."
Su Changan actually didn’t care what Xia Fengxiang was going to do, he just had to accompany him.
Accompanying my wife to do what she wants to do, does this need a reason?
No.
and
Su Changan wants to touch the dragon's buttocks now!
However, Xia Fengxiang didn't know what Su Changan was thinking, so he just smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that when Mi Wanjun goes back, the Grand Tutor will definitely be angry. He might guess that you will go to the place where the lecture is tonight, so he will go there to find you, and then apologize to you in public to show his sincerity. That old man is the best at keeping a low profile. When my father was around, he was very patient."
"However, this is the end of our efforts against the Yang family. Many slaves from the barbarians have returned, and Xia Zhixu has caused a lot of trouble in Yandi since he went there. We can only scare the Yang party to this extent, and we will have to wait until Wen Daoji comes and meets him before we can make any further moves."
When he said this, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "Su Changan, did you hear me?"
Su Changan nodded: "I'm listening. I'm trying to do two things at once. On the one hand, I'm thinking about what to do if the master really apologizes to me. On the other hand, I'm thinking about bigger things."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment: "Bigger huh?"
Just when Xia Fengxiang said this, he was suddenly hugged by Su Changan.
Before she could say anything, she immediately felt where Su Changan's hands were.
Swish!
Xia Fengxiang's face suddenly turned shy.
He even lowered his voice and glanced at the cat who had just entered the room to prepare: "Su Changan!!"
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang gently: "Don't talk, let me enjoy the happiness of this moment."
Then
A scream came from Su Changan's mouth.
…
On the way out of the palace, Mu Xu was frowning, wondering what to do.
If he didn't come, he would lose face. Or, should he hide in the Imperial Examination Hall? Let Xun Kuang lose face?
Well, this method works!
Let that kid go!
I will hide myself. If the Queen goes there, I will come out. If she doesn't go, I won't be there anyway, so it will be Xun Kuang who will be blamed.
While thinking about this.
Mu Xu saw Mi Wanjun walking in the distance ahead.
Although it was far away, Mu Xu could still clearly see Mi Wanjun's proud back.
Mu Xu was happy and thought about it.
We have to go to Yang Shanchang to have some fun first!
