Chapter 1385 Empress: Why are they looking at me like that?
Su Chang'an's voice was just a little louder than usual.
but.
Everyone in the entire hall looked at the Empress.
Although it was just changed, but this
Seeing the Empress's serious and solemn expression, they were all somewhat at a loss as they pursed their lips.
But with His Majesty's emphasis and Her Majesty's supplement, it's clear that...
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then came to their senses.
Can.
Once they came to their senses, they all looked at the two people sitting above them, especially at the Empress.
I was genuinely shocked.
Everyone knows that in certain situations where the Empress is present, unexpected surprises are bound to happen.
But the Dragon Boat Festival feast has only just begun.
His Majesty told us here that he was pregnant, and even said that the Empress was a man?
Even the Empress herself claims to be a man!
Especially His Majesty
Many court officials stood up and agreed with the emperor's wishes.
But what about His Majesty?
It was as if they were deliberately emphasizing this matter, and they even said the following words to tell them not to overthink it.
The Empress also made a point of emphasizing this.
this.
People in the martial arts world don't have many hidden agendas, so they think less.
But the officials in the imperial court couldn't help but think about it.
Because of the Empress's condition.
Could it have been a man who went?
If the Empress were a man, that would be truly strange!
But the emperor and empress are emphasizing this matter so much.
It's like they're trying to hide something obvious.
After returning to their seats, the court officials looked up at the Emperor and Empress. One of them was sitting there drinking tea and picking fish bones, and they couldn't tell anything about him. He was no different from His Majesty in his daily life, showing no emotion.
The other one looked at them with a serious and earnest expression, as if to say, 'You trust me!'
but
Looking at the Empress's graceful and unparalleled appearance, how can anyone believe you're a man!
But the Empress is not a man, so if His Majesty becomes pregnant, wouldn't that mean...?
Many court officials lowered their heads, not daring to think about anything else, unable to think about it, and even more afraid to think about it.
But just looking at the Empress
One by one, their gazes visibly turned to heartache.
Thinking of how kind and approachable the Empress was to them and the common people, she was always so kind and gentle.
The result is now
Many people lowered their heads, but some glanced casually at the emperor.
We cannot say that the emperor's actions were wrong.
After all, many people in the capital had been talking about the Emperor and Empress, which was essentially a veiled criticism of them, no matter how virtuous they were.
The matter of having no offspring!
It's a done deal!
Now, seeing the emperor's sudden change of heart, and recalling his calm and indifferent demeanor back then, it's clear he was waiting for this announcement.
But this
oops!
Your Majesty!
Li Jiulang sat in his seat, looked at the Empress with a joyful expression, and secretly raised his cup to toast Su Chang'an.
After all, this matter involved too much sacrifice, and it's impossible to say whether it was right or wrong; it's just that many things are simply impossible to explain.
Xun Kuang was glad that he had guessed the Emperor and Empress's intentions correctly, but in his heart, he thought that although the Empress always scared him for fun, she was the one who would protect him when things really happened.
While it is certainly for the sake of the Great Xia Dynasty, His Majesty's act of calling a deer a horse was clearly pre-arranged with the Empress.
Can.
How will future generations view you if they don't understand why you achieved such a feat!
Xun Kuang reached out and patted Yuan Ruxi's thigh.
Yuan Ruxi glanced at the heartbroken Xun Kuang, then looked towards where Su Chang'an was.
When the Emperor made the announcement, Yuan Ruxi was startled. After hearing what the Empress said, she was even more taken aback.
Having calmed down a bit, he immediately looked towards where his disciple was.
After clenching his fists and sitting down, Su Ziyu took a sip of wine in silence. But then he thought about it again. In the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, there were indeed female emperors who married women, but the female emperor at that time also had male concubines in her harem.
His Majesty currently only has his eldest daughter, although her pregnancy...
I feel so wronged!
It's a pity that the eldest daughter isn't born a boy!
Thinking of this, Su Ziyu looked at his father.
Su Wenqing stared blankly at the wine in his glass, his hand trembling slightly.
"Father." Su Ziyu quickly grabbed Su Wenqing's hand.
Su Wenqing looked at Su Ziyu.
Su Ziyu said in a low voice, "Although she has been wronged, the way the eldest girl is now is obviously something that was discussed with His Majesty. But if the eldest girl suffers such a great injustice, her sister-in-law will feel sorry for her and might even cry. How are we going to tell her about this when we get back?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wenqing remained silent, but glanced up at Mu Xu, who was sitting directly opposite her with his head down.
Old man, was it about this the other day when you said I was lucky and had a good life?
"Second brother," Su Wenqing said.
Su Ziyu looked at Su Wenqing.
Su Wenqing said, "Tomorrow, you and I will submit our resignations to His Majesty. Unless His Majesty forbids you from leaving, our Su family can no longer have anyone wearing purple robes."
Su Ziyu looked at Su Wenqing in astonishment, not understanding why the old man suddenly brought this up.
Su Wenqing didn't explain, but looked up at Su Chang'an.
The initial shock has completely vanished. Just a moment ago, all I could think of was that the emperor was pregnant, and I, as his eldest grandson, was forced to accept it because of the greater good.
I promised him before that I would never let her suffer any injustice.
The old man almost cried when he saw his eldest granddaughter; how could his heart not be in turmoil!
But upon hearing the emperor's emphasis, and seeing the state of his granddaughter, he realized...
Then I thought about my eldest son and daughter-in-law, and the actions of my eldest daughter-in-law over the past month.
He is a man.
But what puzzled the old man was...
You promised not to do anything big, but this time you even changed my gender?
Su Wenqing picked up the wine cup, took a sip to calm his nerves, but just as he was about to drink, he looked up at his grandson, whom he should now call the eldest grandson, and stared at him.
It's strange to suddenly start calling him "grandson."
The other officials, without exception, remained silent, not daring to utter a word. They simply lowered their heads and drank, some even showing resentment on their faces, but it quickly dissipated as they looked at the Empress.
Looking at the girl standing there, with a righteous expression and a gentle smile, they could only sigh. What else could they do?
"Sister" Su Qingning, without anyone noticing, quietly pulled Li Yueyue to where Su Linhan was sitting.
Su Linhan looked utterly shocked, with a hint of panic in her eyes.
Upon hearing Su Qingning's voice, Su Linhan turned around.
Before Su Qingning could even speak, Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Linhan and asked, "Second sister, why is our eldest sister able to have a child with His Majesty? Isn't it said that two women can't have children?"
Su Linhan was about to speak.
Su Qingning slapped Su Zhaoxin on the head and whispered, "Don't talk!"
Su Wan'er glanced at her brother, then looked at her older sister, blinking her big eyes as if lost in thought.
It seems they sensed it.
Su Chang'an turned his head to look over.
Their eyes met.
He happened to make eye contact with Su Wan'er.
Su Chang'an smiled.
Su Wan'er grinned, then pulled a small booklet from her sleeve and wrote, "My older sister can be both a boy and a girl! That's amazing!"
...
Cui Yu'er blinked, looked at the Empress, then at the cat, and finally back at the Empress. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head, saying, "Uncle."
Cui Yu spoke up: "Don't speak."
Cui Yu'er: "Oh."
Although she agreed, Cui Yu'er couldn't help herself. She bit her lip and said, "Uncle, although I don't know what you're thinking, if the Empress is a man, then Qingnu has always been by the Empress's side, and the Empress is so outstanding. Does Qingnu like the Empress? What should Qingnu do if she likes someone she can't like?"
Cui Yu was still lamenting the Empress's sacrifice for the Great Xia Dynasty, and thinking that it would have been better if the Empress had really been a man.
But I heard this.
A sudden pang of pain shot through my heart, and I looked up at my daughter.
He immediately thought to himself, "Please, Your Majesty, you must be a woman! After all, Your Majesty knows about this."
...
Yu Taohua picked at his nose. He hadn't even had a drink yet when he suddenly heard this, which was quite a shock to this sword saint.
He always believed that among all the men in the martial arts world, there wasn't a single one who was genuinely handsome; they were all just boasting about it!
Otherwise, why would this martial arts world have such a tragic end?
but
Looking at the Empress's appearance.
Yu Taohua said to his wife, "It's a good thing that Your Majesty doesn't dabble in the martial arts world, otherwise my reputation would be overshadowed by your sword skills. In terms of looks, I'm no match for Your Majesty."
Guo Xiaohua glared at her husband. Now is the time to talk about this?!
and
Is Your Majesty really a man? How can there be such an extremely handsome man? What did God give Your Majesty?
...
Bai Qi was also in the main hall today. Not only had he donated many paintings to the grand compendium that was to be compiled, but he had also offered to serve as the chief editor of the history of painting, so he was invited here.
And right now.
His lips moved slightly, and his hands, stained with wine, seemed to be drawing something on the table.
He was completely insane, or rather, many people knew that Bai Qi was crazy all day long in the capital, either locking himself in his room or going to the red-light district to look at women.
But right now.
Bai Qi's eyes were clear, filled with a sense of bewilderment.
Suddenly, she looked at Feng Jingtang and exclaimed, "I know! I know why I just couldn't draw it! It's this! It's this!"
Feng Jingtang wanted Bai Qi to be quieter, but seeing that no one around her was blaming her, she didn't do it. She just glanced at Bai Qi and then looked at the Empress.
Is she really not a woman?
If Your Majesty is not a woman, but a man.
Is there any regret in the world of martial arts?
But will the martial arts world add a new legend?
Can.
Feng Jingtang glanced at the people in the court, then looked at the old Celestial Master and the others.
The look in the eyes of these two groups of people.
And why are they so different?
...
Music continued to play throughout the main hall.
But in the blink of an eye, His Majesty's two casual remarks made the entire banquet turn strange.
Su Chang'an naturally noticed the strange way the court officials were looking at him, especially Xun Kuang's gaze, which was full of sympathy and pity. What was that all about?
Looking at the others, one sees a variety of emotions, including admiration, sorrow, and helplessness.
On the contrary, the people in the martial arts world are much purer.
A large portion of the doubts!
"Here you go." Xia Fengxiang then presented the deboned fish to Su Chang'an, and also took out the buns and meat that Su Chang'an had hidden under the table.
But seeing that Su Chang'an's expression was off, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Chang'an said, "I feel like they don't believe I'm a man."
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Even if it were me, I wouldn't believe it."
Su Chang'an pouted, "Then what do you want to say?"
But even though he thought that, he knew he'd get beaten up if he actually said it. So he said, "You've surprised me! Go all out! Tell me again, or... should I take off my shirt? Anyway, it's not a big deal for a guy like me to show his upper body. Now that it's public, we can't leave it unproven. And look at the way Xun Kuang and the others are looking at me, and Yang Guofu only has one eye left, why are they looking at me with pity? Am I that pitiful as a man? This matter... um..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Fengxiang brought a piece of fish to Su Chang'an's lips.
Su Chang'an ate it without hesitation.
Then, Xia Fengxiang said, "This isn't a surprise for you. I just saw that you wanted to keep telling people that you're a man, so I told everyone. Whether you believe it or not, it's none of my business."
Su Chang'an exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this a pleasant surprise?"
But after looking at everyone in the hall, he turned to look at his wife. "Everyone's been so scared of you, aren't you happy?"
But just as Su Chang'an was about to speak...
Su Chang'an looked out of the main hall.
Yan Yunxiao was holding a set of crimson folded robes in his hands. Bao Xian, who was beside him, also had a tray with a phoenix crown on it. However, this phoenix crown was different from the one on his own head. At first glance, it was clear that it was a male crown.
Seeing these two, Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang beside him.
Xia Fengxiang looked at him: "Do you still remember the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet when you scared me?"
