Chapter 1384 Your Majesty the Empress: I'm Really a Man
Quiet~~~
Aside from the old Celestial Master and a few others who already knew Su Chang'an was a man.
Everyone blinked and looked at the emperor.
Then they all turned to look at the Empress.
What did Your Majesty just say?
Do you have a child?
They even said the Empress was a man?
The current Empress has her hand on the hairpin mainly because she finds it in the way and plans to take it off so she can eat properly; otherwise, the swaying of it will affect her appetite.
So at that moment, Su Chang'an was holding the hair ornaments on both sides of his head with both hands, looking at his wife with the same surprised expression.
Those bright, sparkling eyes seemed to gleam in the Tongming Hall, their gaze filled with astonishment as he tilted his head and stared at his wife.
That little expression combined with that action is just too adorable.
Upon seeing the Empress, everyone present subconsciously swallowed.
Everyone looked at the Empress after hearing what the Emperor had just said, trying to figure out if they had misheard something.
Xia Tingyu picked up the wine cup, took a small sip, and glanced at Su Chang'an. She rolled her fox-like eyes. Although such a sudden announcement was quite frightening, looking at Su Chang'an's expression, who would believe it!
A guy who's better looking than me, hmph.
Everyone in the hall was speechless.
After putting down his teacup, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Chang'an.
Su Chang'an blinked, pursed his lips, and then remembered that his wife had said she would give him a surprise.
This must be it.
Thinking this, Su Chang'an took off the hair ornament from his head and took a deep look at his wife, whose eyes were full of smiles.
After placing the hair ornament in his wife's hair, he looked at everyone in the hall and said very seriously, "Yes, I am a man."
"How is that possible?"
But just after Su Chang'an finished speaking, a voice rang out.
Su Chang'an looked over and saw that it was Su Qingning who had blurted out the words unconsciously with a shocked expression.
Su Chang'an pursed his lips; he couldn't keep this younger sister.
However, just as Su Chang'an was about to continue speaking, his gaze fell on Su Wenqing.
The old man stared at him intently, his face filled with disbelief and astonishment.
It's like...
Has the sky fallen?
Su Chang'an sighed, "This old man is really good at pretending. Didn't he already know I was a man?"
However, while thinking this, Su Chang'an continued, "Gentlemen, due to various reasons, I had to pretend to be a woman. As His Majesty said, I am a man. Please forgive me for this. However, His Majesty is unable to drink alcohol due to his pregnancy. Here, I will offer you all a toast on His Majesty's behalf and wish you all a peaceful and healthy Dragon Boat Festival."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Chang'an took the wine cup, lowered her eyes, and brought the wine cup to her pink lips.
Without the hair ornament, a few strands of her black hair drooped down in front of her eyes as Su Chang'an lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Although it's just a common act of drinking.
But the way the Empress drinks is completely different.
After drinking it all in one gulp, Su Chang'an looked up at everyone.
No further explanation is needed.
Everyone just stared at Su Chang'an.
Could this be a man?!
A man!?
Many people have recovered from the shock they just experienced, but they are still staring intently at Su Chang'an.
Snap!
Just then, a crisp sound echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.
It turned out to be Wu Dameng's side.
A plate of fruit next to the little girl had fallen to the ground and broken in two.
Wu Dameng, holding the unfinished fruit in his hand, looked down at the plate with a look of horror and panic in his eyes. He then immediately looked to his master for help.
But when she saw her master, an incredulous expression appeared on her little face again.
I always thought my master was a woman.
Or rather, they fundamentally believe that the master is a woman!
Even if Qingning suddenly said one day that she was a man, Da Mengzi would believe it!
But his own master was the only one who said he was a man.
Is Master lying to people again?
Some palace maids had already gone over to tidy up by this time.
This was actually a bit disrespectful, but since the one who broke the plate was the Empress's apprentice, Miss Wu, who was often led around the palace by the Emperor, no one said anything.
But mainly
Everyone was still reeling from the shock.
Male?
Mu Xu immediately stood up, holding a wine cup in his hand. This Grand Master of Ceremonies, who was the most cunning man in the capital, had previously suspected that the Empress was a man.
But to be fair!
He had his doubts, but he had actually heard it. Even if he believed it, how could he believe it when he saw the Empress's expression?
Seeing is believing, but does seeing necessarily mean it's true?
As he thought this, Mu Xu pursed his lips and looked at the Empress.
Mu Xu had a bit of a headache. With the Empress acting like this, no other man or woman in the world could live.
Where can you find a man who looks like this, and where can you find a woman who is so much less attractive than a man?
Xun Kuang was right next to Mu Xu, and his mouth was half open; he was one of the surprised people as well.
His teacher had previously told him, "What if the empress were a man?"
Xun Kuang didn't think much of it at the time, because how could it possibly be a man?
Having seen countless women and spending his days in the red-light district, how could he possibly be wrong?
result
The emperor then announced that he was six months pregnant and further stated that the empress was a man.
But this looks like a woman!
At this time.
Yang Shanchang stood up, holding a wine cup in both hands: "May Your Majesty and the Empress have a peaceful Dragon Boat Festival, and may the birth of a son bring blessings upon our Great Xia Dynasty!"
The old tutor remained calm, as if he had already guessed what was going on. After bowing respectfully, he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.
Accompanying Yang Shanchang, Xia Tingyu also picked up a wine cup and said with a smile, "Wishing Your Majesty and Her Majesty a peaceful Dragon Boat Festival, may good fortune descend upon the world, and may Heaven bless the Great Xia."
He then drank it all in one gulp.
Upon seeing these two, Xun Kuang swallowed hard.
At this moment, Mu Xu also stepped forward, looking at the Emperor and Empress and returning the toast in his hand.
Seeing their teacher like this, although the three of them did not mention that the Empress was a man, they only said that His Majesty and the Empress were happy to have a son, which was actually an admission that the Empress was a man.
Can.
That's blatant lying!
How could the Empress be a man?
You guys...
But it was just as Xun Kuang was thinking of this that...
The old celestial master and others also stood up, as did Su Ziyu, Li Jiulang and others.
And watching this scene...
Xun Kuang suddenly looked startled!
Suddenly a word popped into my head.
Calling a deer a horse.
Your Majesty must be pregnant; the Emperor's words are certainly not a joke.
One could say that the empress is a man.
Could it be that His Majesty is pregnant, but deliberately tells the world that the Empress is a man, and therefore the child is naturally the Empress's, in order to silence the gossip of the world?
After all, how can two women have a child?
As for the matter of whether the Empress is a man, if His Majesty says so, then she is!
Thinking of this, Xun Kuang looked at the faces of the many court officials in the hall who were now congratulating the emperor, such as Li Chunfang, Cao Can, and others, who were looking at the emperor with great interest.
Then look at the emperor's smiling expression.
Xun Kuang immediately perked up; he had guessed correctly!
His Majesty's expression right now is a clear indication that he's waiting for everyone's reaction!
So he stood up and looked at His Majesty and the Empress: "Your Majesty, I congratulate Your Majesty and the Empress on the auspicious start to summer."
Seeing everyone like this, Su Chang'an wondered what to say.
Something feels off.
It's mainly the way people look at me; it's like, "I don't believe it!"
Moreover, Su Chang'an had just seen the look in his second uncle Su Ziyu's eyes when he looked at him; it was full of heartache.
My wife says I'm a man, so why are you so worried about me, Uncle?
You have a grandnephew/niece? Isn't that a joyous occasion?
What do you feel sorry for me about?
And you, Xun Kuang!
The way you looked at me just now, I can't even describe it.
And now you're standing up and saying this?
So Su Chang'an felt a little uncomfortable. Even after all this, he still doubted that he wasn't a man. What was he thinking?
My baby is already in my wife's belly!
I've already told you I'm a man in the middle of summer, and you're still doing this.
Let's be reasonable.
Su Chang'an felt a little wronged.
Hehe~~
At this time
Xia Fengxiang suddenly burst out laughing, mainly because he couldn't help but laugh at Su Chang'an's expression.
Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang, and although he didn't speak, his eyes seemed to ask, 'What are you laughing at?'
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Chang'an, as if to say, "So what if you laughed!"
Su Chang'an pouted and said, "Then laugh."
Xia Fengxiang coughed and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
In an instant, the hall fell silent once more.
Xia Fengxiang continued, "There's nothing like the messy stuff you're thinking. I don't have time to deal with your underhanded tactics. The Empress is a man; he just looks like this. But if you still don't believe me, so be it. The banquet continues. Today, everyone can just enjoy themselves and not worry about court affairs."
Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang, and although he immediately understood something, ...
What kind of nonsense is this? I'm the only one who looks like this. And what's this about believing or not believing it?
I'm your man!
Can't you take some responsibility?
Now that you've said it and announced it, show some attitude!
Thinking this, Su Chang'an looked at everyone and smiled, "Everyone, I really am a man. I am so good-looking, which sometimes bothers me, but after all, it's not up to me to decide, so please don't overthink it."
Hearing this, Su Chang'an felt helpless.
Who in the world goes through so much trouble to prove their gender?
