Chapter 1254 The Queen Has a Headache
The huge capital city was bustling with noise, with dignitaries from all over the world and martial arts masters flocking in. A glance down the streets revealed several remarkable figures.
Of course there are troublemakers, but they are just small-time characters. The really important ones either don't want to mess with each other, so everything is calm.
Even those who had grudges, because of the warning from above, seemed to have agreed to do so, and they all had a tacit understanding and advised each other in their words and actions.
So even if there were some cases of disturbances in the Jingzhao government office, they would be caused by small characters.
The Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple were even quieter. Although there were many envoys from foreign countries, and they came every day, they all kept their tails between their legs and walked on the road with their heads down.
It was a restaurant in the market town, not very big, just an ordinary restaurant. Roasted lamb was its signature dish, and all the few tables there were already full.
At first glance, the diners in the restaurant were rough and tumble men from the underworld, speaking in loud voices, and most of them were discussing big deals worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
But there are also people who speak in a low voice.
“The gods have appeared!”
But when these three words were uttered, wow, the whole audience looked at the person who spoke in unison.
It's not for anything else, it's just about the scene where the Queen Mother, with her divine appearance, saved people in the market two days ago.
I never get tired of listening to it!
But then someone mentioned the Queen.
Of course there is another "divine manifestation"!
Someone immediately spoke up, "Who will finally get the Empress's calligraphy and then be taught a move by the legendary swordsman?"
A woman said, "I've been thinking of something lately."
Upon hearing this, a man immediately laughed and cursed, "Damn it! You can't even walk with your legs together, and you're still thinking about this? I heard that Senior Wei Hao, the head coach of the Four Seas Whale Riders, came up with some plan, but he ended up getting kicked away by the master of the knife shop."
The woman was no pushover either. She stood up, put one leg on a stool, and put her hands on her hips. "How about my legs? Want to try them? I just need something to ride on! I'm afraid you, a rough old man, might think I'm a worthless person."
Everyone burst into laughter.
And outside this restaurant is the street in the market town.
Passersby.
"I heard that the people from the Liuyun Sword Sect have all gone to seek help from the Minister of Revenue, Master Zhang?"
"Not only that, the gates of those high-ranking officials' residences were packed with people yesterday, hoping to see the Empress through them."
"Each one costs a lot."
"The price? If this thing succeeds, the price is nothing! The sword of the sword immortal, if you learn it, won't you directly enter the realm of the ultimate? If the masters of the realm of the ultimate learn it, they might even be among the top ten in the world."
"However, there aren't many people at the Su Mansion."
"Madam Su, your mother is pregnant. Who dares to disturb her? If she gets scared, who can bear the consequences? But the most lively place is still the Prince of Yue's Mansion."
From one street to the city's many washes, teahouses, taverns, and roadside vendors in every street and alley.
There are so many people talking about this!
The former swordsman revealed his identity for the first time and even announced that he would teach him sword skills.
Not to mention the people in the martial arts world, even those who don’t know martial arts are also thinking about it with eager eyes.
The coffin is covered with four characters.
The whole city is talking about it!
At the Prince of Yue's Mansion, Ku Yue had just rescued Da Mengzi.
At the Su Mansion, except for a small number of people who ran there laughing, no one else dared to think about it.
But outside the Su Mansion, things are different.
As it should be.
As the Queen's eldest disciple, Wu Daming was naturally targeted by people of the same level as Su Linhan, Su Qingning, Su Liheng, and even ranked higher.
But if you talk about kidnapping, I wouldn’t dare do that.
But Wu Daming was so easy to catch.
A bunch of food can trick them into giving you something.
Just like now.
I know that many people use food to lure Wu Daming.
Ku Yue immediately ran to rescue people.
Now he and Wu Daming were sitting next to a pile of food. Both of them had greasy mouths, a big steamed bun in their left hands, a chicken leg in their right hands, and a big roast duck in front of them.
The old Taoist priest looked at the two of them and shook his head. He was too lazy to talk to Ku Yue anymore.
After swallowing the bun in his mouth, Wu Daming looked at Kuyue and said, "I feel like I need to learn how to use a knife."
Kuyue bit a chicken leg in her mouth and looked at Wu Daming in confusion: "Mmm~~"
Although he spoke, the chicken leg blocked his voice, so the sound that came out was naturally muffled.
Wu Daming seemed to understand: "It's not that the senior said this to Master, but I want Master to practice sword. Although she said that I should practice boxing, I can't just practice boxing. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if others asked me about it. So I want to learn sword."
Ku Yue swallowed the chicken with great effort, then looked at Wu Daming and said, "There are many ways to learn swordsmanship. Go ask your master for a poem, and he will teach you."
As soon as she uttered these words, Ku Yue suddenly felt many pairs of eyes staring at her.
I know that asking the Empress for poetry recently is a very sensitive matter. If I weren't good at fighting, that bunch of idiots would have come running over.
But just as she was about to speak, Kuyue looked at Wu Daming and suddenly thought of something, so she changed the subject and said, "Then I'll teach you?"
Da Mengzi looked at Ku Yue and nodded immediately.
Kuyue didn't say much. She stood up and looked around, then ran to a young man who was pretending to be delivering food and pulled the knife away. Then she returned to Da Mengzi and said, "Here, take it."
Da Mengzi wiped his hands on himself, then looked at Ku Yue with the knife in hand.
The old Taoist priest and others also looked at Ku Yue and Da Mengzi, wondering what this crazy girl was going to do next.
Kuyue made a gesture: "This is chopping."
Da Mengzi learned it and nodded immediately.
Kuyue made another move: "This is blocking."
Da Mengzi nodded again.
Then Kuyue looked at Da Mengzi and said, "Very good, you are ready. That one over there is Yan Yunxiao, chop her up."
Wu Daming blinked her big eyes and looked over, and saw Yan Yunxiao also looking at her.
The four of them looked into each other's eyes.
Wu Daming blinked his big watery eyes and looked at Shentu Kuyue, full of questions.
The old Taoist priest looked at Kuyue and cursed, "What a bastard!"
After cursing, he looked at Yan Yunxiao: "I didn't ask you why you came here today. I thought you were helping the queen to block people in the palace."
Yan Yunxiao said, "The Grand Empress Dowager instructed me not to interfere unless I wanted to have some fun, so His Majesty asked me to come here."
The old Taoist clicked his tongue. "They're so cruel! I went for a stroll these past couple of days, and wow, everyone's just thinking about the Empress. Li Yunxian, still the same Li Yunxian, taking out her anger on her own great-granddaughter. She's really driving the Empress to her death. Even here in the Prince of Yue's Palace, there's a lot of commotion."
The old swordsman was making new dice with a file in his hand. He said, "I'm here, but no one is looking for me. The world is so fickle. Why would I look for Li Yunxian?"
The old Taoist priest exposed the situation directly: "Old man, wasn't it your idea that those kids from Jianshan go to curry favor with Lian Qiao and look for Lian Wei? They even went to look for Lian Xinglan, causing that kid Xinglan to be afraid to leave the Su Mansion."
The old Sword Saint snorted, "Jianshan has its own pride! Those bastards, I'll deal with them when my girl gets here!"
Yan Yunxiao said, "According to the date, it will be here in one or two days. If things go well, he might be back today."
Hearing this, the old Taoist priest rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Kuyue, bring me a roast duck. You've made so much, how can you two finish it if you don't share it with others?"
After saying this, the old Taoist priest said, "I'm really looking forward to that child. I'm so eager to see what kind of child he is."
The old swordsman blew the sawdust off the dice and said, "If you see me, don't even think about taking me as your apprentice."
The old Taoist priest chuckled and took the roast duck from Kuyue.
However, when she saw Yan Yunxiao, Ku Yue, who had originally wanted to say a few words, immediately turned around and ran away.
Yan Yunxiao said: "If Yu Taohua and the others can't kill Zhang Zi, I will go out for a while, and the old Taoist priest will stay in the capital for a while."
The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "Yu Taohua ran over because she was worried, and you are still worried? And there is the old blind man, Wu Qinhu, and Wu Muchi, that kid also went. If these four people can't kill Zhang Ce, I want to slap them to death. How cowardly."
Yan Yunxiao did not say anything. Things in the world are unpredictable, and many strange things have happened to the Queen.
So Yan Yunxiao is now used to keeping a second hand for some things.
However, the old Taoist priest said: "If Zhang Ce gets away with this, and this old guy stays in the capital, I, with my old bones, will go with you to kill people. I can still kill people and shake the earth."
After that, the old Taoist priest changed the subject and asked, "Speaking of which, what is the goddess doing now?"
Yan Yunxiao took a sip of wine and said, "When I came out, Mu Xu and the others went to Lingqi Pavilion."
The old swordsman looked at Yan Yunxiao and said, "Hey, the chief priest, how many times did you go there today? I heard you went there this morning, didn't you?"
Yan Yunxiao sighed helplessly: "This is the fourth time today."
The old Taoist priest was amazed: "How shameless!"
…
In Lingqi Pavilion, Su Changan looked at the Lord Chief Priest, Su Linhan with an innocent face, and Pei Nanzhi and Prince An and his wife who were looking at him eagerly.
Su Changan turned his head and looked at Concubine Sun.
Sun Shang Gong smiled and looked at the grinning Lord Jijiu.
Su Changan rubbed his brow and looked at Mu Xu: "Did you forget the handkerchief here or something else?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu immediately shook his head: "Your Majesty, it's nothing. I brought them all with me this time. I was about to leave the palace, but then I ran into Lin Han. She told me that she had something to do."
Su Linhan glanced at the Lord Chief Priest, then looked at Su Changan. After wanting to say something several times, she finally lowered her head with a red face.
Su Linhan can't lie, or rather, she can't lie at all. She blushes when she lies.
Just like now.
But Mu Xu was different. He looked at Lin Han calmly and said, "Kid, you're so embarrassed in front of your big sister?"
Su Changan didn't want to pay attention to Mu Xu anymore.
He turned his head to look at Pei Nanzhi, who was the most relaxed and approaching.
Pei Nanzhi held a piece of paper in her hand and placed it in front of Su Changan: "My Lady, please write the second half of the sentence."
Su Changan looked at Pei Nanzhi: "Aunt, do you think I'm a fool?"
Pei Nanzhi immediately said: "How can you be a fool! And you don't believe me, right! Have you forgotten that I am your favorite aunt!"
Su Changan looked at Pei Nanzhi: "My favorite is Aunt Yan."
Pei Nanzhi's cheeks puffed up immediately: "I killed Yan Yunxiao!"
But after he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Su Changan pitifully and said, "Then I have a poem that I don't know, why don't you write one for me?"
Su Changan had a headache.
Pei Nanzhi looked at him, then immediately stood up and looked straight at Su Changan: "Believe it or not, I will go and complain to His Majesty that you bullied me!"
Su Changan looked at her like this and turned to look at Ruyu: "Hurry and send it to His Majesty."
Pei Nanzhi was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
at last.
Su Changan looked at Prince An and his wife.
To be honest, ever since Grandma said that, Su Changan didn’t know how many people he had to receive.
Especially Xia Fengxiang, who got up early in the morning and ran to the imperial study.
I also wanted to go to the imperial study, but they wouldn't let me in. They said, "You are a man, so you are not allowed to enter the imperial study."
What a fresh statement!
When you gave birth in the imperial study, you dragged me in!
However, according to Su Changan's original plan, he wanted to give the opportunity to Da Mengzi.
Anyway, the old man didn’t say whether he could write for anyone casually.
That evening, the old man came and asked, "I heard you have to write for anyone?"
Su Changan immediately dismissed the idea.
then
This is how we have been receiving guests every day these past two days.
Moreover, when Su Changan heard the news outside the palace, there was chaos outside the palace!
The entire capital city was in chaos because of this old lady's words!
Prince An noticed Su Changan looking at him, and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am not here to ask for your poetry."
Su Changan looked at Prince An and quickly stood up. After helping Prince An and his wife sit down, he said, "Uncle, I know why you're here, but Your Majesty and I can't find the old lady. Every time she's happy, she comes to see us. When she's unhappy, I don't even know where she is."
When Prince An heard this, he lowered his head.
Ever since returning to Beijing, Prince An wanted to pay his respects to his grandmother.
He remembered that the last time he saw his grandmother was when he accompanied his fourth brother to the palace to receive a title. It had been more than 20 years.
This time, since his grandmother had revealed her identity, he thought he would be able to see her.
As a result, I heard the queen say this.
Su Changan looked at Prince An's lost expression and said, "The old lady must have been watching secretly. She mentioned it to Yao Mo before."
Prince An sighed and nodded.
He wanted to see his grandmother, not because he had any business. He was a prince, so what could he ask for help from anyone? He was living a good life now.
that is
Thought about it.
He is already a father, and by the time Yao Mo and Hu Niu's relationship is settled, he will soon be a grandfather.
But after so many years, I still can't forget the time when I was young and climbed onto the roof with my fourth brother to watch my grandmother standing on the roof of Hua'e Tower looking south.
I can't forget the smile on my grandmother's face when I accidentally fell and was rescued by her.
Whenever he looked at the portraits of his grandparents, his father, and his mother in the Taimiao, he would call out to them in his heart but no one would respond. He would then think that in a few decades he would be gone and would be buried in the side hall, the Hall of Ancestral Family. If he then touched the portraits and called out to them again, would someone respond to him?
Su Changan looked at Prince An, not knowing what to say. After all, his grandmother was unwilling to come out, and there was nothing he could do.
But this time around.
Then I saw Mu Xu pulling Su Linhan, who was still blushing.
Su Changan sighed.
But just as he was about to speak, his expression froze and he couldn't help but look to the west.
"Wan'er?"
But at this time, Lu Cai arrived at the gate of the courtyard: "Her Majesty Cui Yu, Lord Cui, Lord Cao Shen, and Lord Li Chunfang Li requested to see you. They said they found some delicious food ingredients and wanted to send them to you."
Hearing this, Su Changan looked at Lu Cai and said, "Things."
But just as he opened his mouth, Su Changan rubbed his brows and looked at Su Linhan: "Forget it, don't worry about it, there's no end to this. Wan'er is back, I'll go see her."
After saying that, he looked at everyone in the courtyard and said, "Everyone, go back if you have nothing to do. Remember to take some of the braised food I have back with you. It's freshly cooked this morning."
But looking at Prince An, Su Changan said, "Uncle, I'll ask Lu Cai to take you to the Taimiao to try, just in case you see him."
Prince An immediately saluted.
It was Mu Xu and Pei Nanzhi who immediately realized something.
But just as he was about to speak, the queen suddenly disappeared.
"Wan'er is back?" Su Linhan's face showed joy.
But when she saw Mu Xu looking at her, Su Linhan lowered her head again: "Sir, I said I won't lie."
Mu Xu looked at Su Linhan. Is that girl Wan'er back?
With a snap.
Mu Xu was even happier, because that girl could accomplish something.
…
PS: I fell asleep last night. I think it was because of the rain and the hot weather these past two days. I felt uncomfortable and sticky all over. I don’t want to update once a day from now on.
There will be an update today. If there is no update before 12 o'clock, it will be tonight.
