Chapter 1170: Madam, please don't dress up as a man
Looking down at the little doll, Maomao rolled his eyes, but still hung the doll up. Just looking at the doll, especially at the doll's peculiar facial features, he inexplicably thought of Su Changan last night.
Su Changan looked at the cat and said, "Cat, hang this on your bag. When you receive guests in front of the Weiyang Palace tomorrow, make sure to put this doll in a conspicuous place."
Maomao held the little doll and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Su Changan replied, "A puppet."
The cat was confused, "Huh?"
Su Changan said, "It's my doll, my man-like self again."
Maomao raised her eyes and looked straight at Su Changan, "You are a woman."
Su Changan frowned, "I'm a man!"
Maomao blinked, then returned the doll to Su Changan, "Then I don't care."
Su Changan grabbed Maomao and said, "Whatever you say is what it is, okay."
Maomao held the doll and looked down at its strange facial features. "You drew yourself so ugly."
Su Changan looked at the cat, "Speak nicely, it's obviously very beautiful, it looks so much like me."
As he spoke, Su Changan took the doll next to him.
Xia Fengxiang, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch and was too lazy to say anything.
The cat raised the corner of its mouth with a look of disgust.
When Su Changan saw it, he immediately said, "I'll make one for you later."
The cat said without hesitation, "No!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Changan and said, "Then what? Why are you hanging it on the bag? Didn't you make a lot of those strange dolls that look like zongzi dolls to give to those ladies?"
Su Changan put his hands on the table, very serious, "To hint to them, I am a man, this"
Before he finished speaking, Maomao turned around and said, "I won't do it."
Su Changan heard it and immediately reached out to grab Mao Mao's wrist. "Warehouse, a herb."
Maomao looked back at Su Changan, saw the eyes that Su Changan was looking at him with, and didn't say anything, but just picked up the doll and left.
And now.
Maomao looked at the women coming towards the Weiyang Palace not far away, and fiddled with the doll on the small bag.
But then he sighed.
I have no idea what Su Changan is thinking. The woman was obviously doing well, but he insisted on doing this.
And no one would believe it if I told them, so isn't it even more weird if it turns out like this?
He is a very smart person, but when it comes to matters like this, he is not as smart as Ku Yue.
Most importantly
Maomao looked back at Xunxia and others who were directing the palace servants to put fruits and drinks in the Weiyang Palace.
Almost everyone has such a doll hanging around their waist.
There was even one on the table right in front.
Maomao rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly.
Always saying that others are sick.
It turns out that you are the sickest one.
Thinking of this, Maomao lowered his head and looked at the doll again.
So ugly.
Thinking of this, Maomao pinched the doll, then looked up at the people who had already reached the bottom of the stairs.
With his back against the Weiyang Palace and looking at everyone in front of him, Maomao's eyes have changed.
She was not here simply to welcome these people. Previously, the people from Raojiang Guxian Sect wanted to kill Prince An and his wife.
Although I didn't get anything valuable out of her.
He just wanted to find out that she came to the capital under the instruction of people from Shu, and also wanted to sow discord between the Guxian Cult and the imperial court.
But she hasn't said anything about whether she has accomplices or not. But according to what Lu Cai said, she really shouldn't know.
but.
This doesn't mean that she really has no accomplices.
Therefore, we must be careful where we need to be careful. We cannot be careless in these areas just because the Queen is extremely powerful now.
This shouldn't be the case, and it can't be the case.
but
Maomao actually didn't plan to attend this banquet, or rather, didn't even plan to come here.
It’s not that I hate it.
The main reason is.
Maomao looked at the women who were walking up the stairs one after another, and Cui Yuer was among them.
And right next to Cui Yuer, Mrs. Cui was also staring at Maomao.
This was not the first time Maomao and Mrs. Cui met.
In the past, in order to repay a favor, Maomao reluctantly went to Cui Mansion to check Old Master Cui's pulse. After Cui Yu blocked the falling pillar of fire for Maomao, Maomao also went to Cui Mansion.
I met Mrs. Cui at that time.
But after that, Mrs. Cui never saw her niece Maomao again, and now she sees her again.
Mrs. Cui blinked and seemed to have gained some weight?
When other people saw Maomao, even if they had never seen him before, Maomao would already greet them and introduce them.
Upon hearing the cat's identity, many people hurriedly returned the gift, not daring to be negligent.
All the children of officials in the capital had heard of the female doctor who was by the Queen's side.
And it is rumored that not long ago, something happened in the Yan family and the Zhang family. It was because the young masters of those two families were not tactful enough to attack this person, and he was directly named by His Majesty in the imperial study.
Maomao looked at everyone and said, "Madams, please do not pay any attention to me. Please enter the palace directly."
As he spoke, Maomao bowed to the women.
When Princess An, Su Liu and others saw Maomao like this, they naturally knew that Maomao was also on duty, so they did not go up to say anything to her. They just smiled and nodded at her, then followed the palace servants who had already left the palace to greet them into the palace.
Xia Yuanyuan wanted to say something, but Maomao smiled at her and didn't open her mouth.
Xia Yuanyuan was smart. She immediately grinned and was about to enter the palace, but when she looked at the ugly doll on the cat bag, she showed a curious expression.
Maomao said, "There are a lot of them."
When Xia Yuanyuan heard this, she immediately turned around and looked towards the palace. She found that many elders were holding dolls in their hands and looking at them, so she immediately ran into the palace.
Cui Yuer deliberately slowed down her pace just now, just to wait for everyone to go in before getting close to the cat.
When he saw that there were not many people around, he immediately ran towards the cat.
But as soon as he walked over, Maomao completely ignored Cui Yuer and turned around and walked into the Weiyang Palace.
Cui Yuer's cheeks puffed up, she was angry!
But when I noticed that Maomao glanced at me, a look of joy suddenly appeared on my face. She likes me as her sister!
"Did the Queen make this?" Su Liu looked at the small doll in her hand that looked like a rice dumpling, and then looked at the human-like expressions on the rice dumpling doll, showing all kinds of expressions, including happiness, joy, and unhappiness.
Xuan Xia was right beside Su Liushi, and nodded with a smile: "Madam, the queen said that in addition to the ceremonies of previous years, she also prepared some special holiday gifts, but everyone does not lack ordinary things, so she made these specially as her special gift, so she placed them on your table and gave them to everyone in this way. In addition, there are some purses and jewelry designed by the queen."
It was not just Su Liu who heard this. Many ladies sitting around her heard it, and they all looked at the thing in their hands with curiosity.
Among them, some thoughtful ladies looked at the dolls in their hands, and then looked at the ones in other people's hands.
If the Empress made them herself, there would be so many of them, are they all?
That’s how many days and nights I endured.
Su Liushi naturally thought of this first and couldn't help but frown and scold: "You are so thin, and you are still thinking about these things?"
Xia smiled helplessly, "The Queen said that after all, it's a thought, and this thing is cheap. If I don't make it myself, it will lack the thought."
Hearing this, the expressions of the people around him changed slightly.
I really don’t know what to say when the Queen treats them like this.
Moreover, everyone knows that the queen is frugal and thin, and she makes these dolls by herself.
Inexplicable
Everyone just felt that the doll in their hands was particularly heavy.
But for some reason, some ladies suddenly remembered something, blushed inexplicably, and then carefully took the doll in their hands.
Su Qingning blinked in surprise: "I thought big sister could make hairpins or something, it's amazing that she can also do this."
"What is this ugly doll? It doesn't look like the one for the Dragon Boat Festival." Su Qingning held the doll curiously and looked at Xunxia.
As he said that, he picked up the doll and looked at Li Yueyue who ran over to the side: "Yueyue, look, isn't it ugly?"
Li Yueyue did not answer Su Qingning's question, but looked at the doll. How to say it, this dress is exactly the same as the one worn by the very special Queen just now!
"It's very ugly." Xia Yuanyuan suddenly came out and approved of Su Qingning.
Xuan Xia was startled and said quickly, "Princess, Third Miss, please don't call me ugly doll."
Su Qingning looked at Xunxia in confusion.
Su Liu looked at the doll, her expression was startled, and she burst out laughing. That child, wearing men's clothes, and making a doll like this. And she made it, but why did she make the face like this?
What are you thinking about?
Su Qingning and others saw Su Liushi smile and looked at her curiously.
But at this moment, Lu Cai stood outside the palace gate and said, "The Queen is here~~"
All the women in Weiyang Palace stood up and looked towards the palace gate.
Su Changan was dressed in white, but not a phoenix robe. After all, since these ladies had to wear plain clothes, he naturally couldn't get any special treatment.
But in fact, Su Changan thought the phoenix crown was troublesome.
Without exception, and in unison, everyone saluted when they saw Su Changan.
only
Without exception, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s a good thing that the Queen did not come dressed as a man, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to sit properly at the banquet.
But he secretly looked up at the Queen.
The empress is still more attractive when she returns to her female appearance, but I dare not even look at her in men's clothes.
Su Changan walked to the front and sat down, and then Aunt Sun, who was following beside him, began to read the imperial decree.
An imperial edict was issued to the wife of the frontier general who was specially summoned to the palace today.
An imperial edict was conferred on the wife or mother of a Jinshi who was summoned into the palace.
The ranks varied, but all were pardoned.
This made everyone's expression stunned.
It also made those ladies who had just been granted the imperial edict of pardon look so confused and happy that they even forgot to express their gratitude.
Fortunately, someone reminded everyone and they hurriedly walked out of their respective tables.
After Lu Cai finished reading, Su Changan said, "That's all for the business. Those things should have been sent to everyone's residences. Today, you can eat, drink and chat here. I heard that there are many banquets in the capital. Whatever you attend there on weekdays, it will be the same today."
As soon as Su Changan finished speaking, palace servants immediately brought the food up.
Su Changan continued, "There is wine, fruit and other drinks on the table. Those who don't mind drinking can try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, just tell me directly."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up again and bowed to express their gratitude.
Su Changan gestured for everyone to sit down, there was no need to greet, and the music had already started.
Su Changan saw that everyone was restrained, but he didn't say much. The more he spoke, the more restrained everyone became.
When Su Changan picked up the juice to drink, he felt a pain in his waist.
The pain was because Xia Fengxiang pinched me several times.
When I just returned to Lingqi Pavilion, my wife was already there.
When he saw him, he asked everyone to leave without saying a word.
Then just get started.
This made Su Changan very unhappy. The main thing was, what was going on? Why did they just start fighting?
But after pinching him a few times, Xia Fengxiang looked at the man who looked like Su Changan and kissed him several more times.
This made Su Changan feel much calmer.
"Empress." Xia Yuanyuan didn't care about the etiquette and ran to Su Changan with the doll.
Su Changan looked at her and motioned for her to sit next to him.
Xia Yuanyuan sat down immediately and looked at Su Changan: "Did you make this too?"
As he said this, he took Su Changan's doll.
Su Changan lowered his voice: "Isn't it very beautiful? And you realized something."
Xia Yuanyuan looked at Su Changan strangely, then looked at Su Qingning, and then looked at Su Changan again: "Sister Qingning said it was ugly."
When Xun Xia, who had just walked up to Su Changan, heard this, she didn't know what to say.
Even Sun Shanggong, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but glance at Su Changan's expression, then lowered her head and smiled.
Su Changan looked at Xia Yuanyuan, and after a moment of silence, he looked towards Su Qingning. However, when he saw Li Yueyue, he looked at Xia Yuanyuan again: "Did Li Yueyue say anything?"
Xia Yuanyuan nodded: "Sister Yueyue said that it is a bit ugly."
Su Changan raised his eyes and looked at Su Qingning.
Su Qingning also looked at Su Changan, somewhat curious about what her elder sister was doing.
But she saw the older sister pointed at her, then pointed at Yueyue, and then waved.
Su Qingning understood immediately, and pulled Li Yueyue to Su Changan excitedly, "Sister..."
But as soon as he shouted, he immediately remembered that he shouldn't shout like that in this situation, so he quickly said, "My Lady, what's the matter?"
Li Yueyue also looked at Su Changan curiously, but unlike Su Qingning, she was still a little afraid of the Queen.
It's not that I'm afraid of Su Changan, but I'm afraid of my mother. Because at home, my mother always talks about the Empress. She used to talk about Commander Yan, but now she talks about him all at once. She also specifically told me that I must not be rude to the Empress when I see her. She emphasized this no less than a dozen times yesterday and today alone.
At this moment, Li Yueyue glanced at her mother and found that she was indeed looking at her, so she immediately stood respectfully.
Su Changan picked up his doll and looked at Su Qingning: "Does this remind you of anything?"
Su Qingning blinked, not realizing what had happened. She looked at Su Changan in confusion, "Are your paintings ugly? I've seen the portraits you drew, and the faces on them are like this, ugly."
Hearing this, Aunt Sun, Xun Xia and others all suppressed their smiles.
Su Changan looked at Su Qingning, smiled gently and said, "When you go back, write me a 2,000-word self-criticism. When Da Mengzi enters the palace tomorrow, ask her to bring it in."
Su Qingning was stunned: "Huh?"
And Su Changan looked at Li Yueyue again.
Li Yueyue blinked, not knowing what was going on, but she had experience in such situations!
So Li Yueyue looked at Su Changan and immediately said, "I can write 3,000 words."
Su Changan smiled and said, "What did I ask you? You can only write 3,000 words."
Li Yueyue pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.
Su Changan held the doll and asked, "What can you think of when you see this?"
Li Yueyue nodded: "The clothes are exactly the same as what you wore when you disguised yourself as a man."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Qingning and Xia Yuanyuan looked at the doll in Su Changan's hand. Yes, the clothes were the same.
Su Changan looked at Li Yueyue and said, "Go back and write a 3,000-word self-criticism."
Li Yueyue's face was suddenly full of bitterness.
Su Changan frowned. What does it mean a woman dressed as a man? I am a woman dressed as a man?
"My lady."
But at this time, Madam Yu from the Duke of Guyuan came out.
The old man stood up and bowed respectfully, then looked at Su Changan and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Su Changan immediately asked Linghua and Qiushui to help Madam Yu sit down, and then said: "Madam, just speak frankly. Didn't I just say that today's banquet is different from the past? Everyone can speak freely and eat and drink to your heart's content. I called you here to get to know each other and have fun, not to lecture or show off."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yu said, "Then I have to say, Madam, please do not take the words of those scoundrels to heart. It does not matter if you are a woman or not a man. Please do not dress as a man. No matter what, you are the Empress of Great Xia and a role model for women like us."
Su Changan was stunned: "Huh?"
