Chapter 146 Wife, lift your butt, I can't touch it
When grandma left, Su Changan kept staring at her from behind, because he wanted to see how this elusive old man could be like a dirty thing.
I was even wondering in my mind whether I would disappear in a flash.
but
Su Changan saw the old man walk to the garden and jump over the wall on tiptoe.
This made Su Changan a little disappointed, and he felt that his fantasy was shattered.
But I think it's normal. After all, even if he is a great master in the world, he is just a normal person after all.
Xia Fengxiang watched Su Changan sit back down, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What did my mother say to you?"
Su Changan shook his head: "It's hard to say. My mother said that if I tell you, she will come to find me."
Xia Fengxiang stared at Su Changan, and after hesitating to speak, he snorted, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. If you think about it, you will know that my mother will definitely tell you how bad I am, and then ask you to bear the consequences."
Su Changan was about to speak, but he immediately realized that the girl was trying to trick him, so he said, "I don't know. I can't tell you. Don't ask me. I can't read and I didn't understand the letter."
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang angrily kicked Su Changan on the calf: "If I had known earlier, I would have told Grandma that you have been trying to take advantage of me!"
Su Changan frowned: "Just now, when she was watching, you threw yourself on me. People who didn't know would think you were very horny. Fortunately, I have remained a virgin and firmly adhered to the principle of not getting married and not having children!"
Get this word out.
Su Changan was beaten immediately.
Sun Shang Gong and others outside heard it clearly, and they just smiled as they were used to it.
It was just a series of screams.
Everyone thought that this might be because His Majesty had been really angry.
As for the fact that grandma had just come over.
Nobody knows.
Even Yan Ruyu was just having a slight illusion, but she didn't really go to see what was happening inside.
After "beating" Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang still didn't feel satisfied. He pulled Su Changan's ears for a long time and cursed him a few times, saying things like "you're talking more and more nonsense", before he stopped.
After the fight, Xia Fengxiang helped Su Changan rub the places where he had hit him too hard.
This is probably what it means to be angry and loving at the same time.
Looking at Xia Fengxiang, he looked angry, but there was some regret in his eyes, as if he regretted why he had just used such a heavy hand.
Su Changan didn't say anything, just watched.
Xia Fengxiang could naturally see Su Changan looking at him with an angry look on his face, but he completely ignored him, but his face slowly turned red.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang, thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Yan has met our grandmother, right?"
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Su Changan said, "When grandma was here just now, I should have called Aunt Yan over. Maybe we could have seen a great showdown between the ultimate masters, and a fight between swords and knives. Whoever wins, I will learn from him. And I've never seen Aunt Yan look timid, I want to see it."
Xia Fengxiang hit Su Changan lightly and scolded him, "You think about these things all day long! I won't care if Aunt Yan beats you up if she finds out! Besides, Aunt Yan is just like a junior in front of an elder in front of my grandmother. She doesn't think like you do. And it's only my grandmother who didn't do anything. If my father had dared to say that to my grandmother just now, she would have done it long ago."
Su Changan chuckled: "Or maybe it's because grandma likes me."
At this point, Su Changan thought for a moment and then looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Wife, how about I go out and try my luck in the underworld? You heard what grandma said just now, saying that if I go out to the underworld, I will be a big shot. And I can imagine the scene when that woman will come looking for me."
At this point, Su Changan saw Xia Fengxiang looking at him with a dark face, and he pursed his lips and said, "What I mean is that when those women come running over, I immediately shout that I have a wife, I am loyal, and my wife is the best in the world. This will discourage them from having any ideas about me."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes when he heard the following words.
But no words yet.
Su Changan frowned and said, "Don't tell me, I thought about it, if I really do this, I might become more famous in the martial arts world."
Xia Fengxiang originally thought that Su Changan was going to say something when he suddenly became serious, but after hearing this, he immediately slapped Su Changan on the leg and scolded him, "You are so frivolous all the time! Why didn't you say these things when my grandmother was here just now?"
Su Changan said honestly: "I'm afraid she will hit me."
Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but burst out laughing, but he immediately stopped laughing, rolled his eyes at Su Changan and said, "My great grandmother wouldn't hit anyone casually. If she really hit you, she must be really angry. And I didn't expect her to come out to see you, because my great grandmother doesn't care about anything at all. She's always in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. I don't even know where she lives in the palace."
At this point, Xia Fengxiang shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about my great-grandmother. She can hear it."
Hearing this, Su Changan nodded, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed a bit strange.
It's too milky and can be heard.
The old man was full of life, but it felt like he was dead.
But while thinking this, Su Changan patted Xia Fengxiang's side.
After Xia Fengxiang sat side by side with Su Changan, he looked at Su Changan and asked, "Su Changan, my mother is in the letter, are you happy?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xia Fengxiang meant, but after thinking about it, he thought that he was probably asking whether the late queen was very sad when she wrote the letter, so he replied, "Yes, I am very happy."
Xia Fengxiang said "Oh".
Su Changan turned his head and looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "Don't try to comfort me, okay? I can't cry. I'm the emperor, so I can't cry!"
Su Changan nodded and said nothing. He just thought for a moment and said, "Wife."
Xia Fengxiang was already used to Su Changan's address, so he responded, "Hmm?"
Su Changan frowned and said, "Lift your butt. My hands are itchy. I can only touch your butt to relieve the itch."
then
Su Changan was beaten again.
…
The interior of Lingqi Pavilion is extremely elegant, and it becomes even more beautiful because of Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang. If you look at the interaction between Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, you will feel that it is elegant and sweet.
But looking back at Xingqing Palace.
Many palace people didn't know what the eccentric and moody Empress Dowager in Xingqing Palace was doing.
Not only was the palace filled with flowers, but luxurious perfume was also sprayed all over the palace. The behavior was strange, and the smell was even stranger.
In particular, some palace servants said that among the things sent into Xingqing Palace, they saw some black substances that looked like water or something else.
But everyone was curious, so they didn't dare to talk too much about the affairs of Xingqing Palace.
I can only think about these quietly in my heart.
In the palace, you can't say anything irresponsible to others, especially about the matters in Xingqing Palace, otherwise you will die without knowing why.
Inside the great Xingqing Palace.
Queen Mother Li Nishang stood at the palace gate and looked at the palace filled with flower pots.
Beside her, Xianghong stood respectfully, saying nothing.
Another female official was wearing a red robe. Judging from the patterns on the robe and the jade pendant hanging around her waist, she was a female official working in the Taichang Temple.
When the Queen Mother was looking at the courtyard, she suddenly saw Lu Cai who was busy watering the flowers. She smiled and said, "Does that little eunuch still run to Lingqi Pavilion as often as before?"
Xiang Hong glanced at Lu Cai and nodded: "Yes, I have to go to Lingqi Pavilion every two or three days to deliver flowers."
While Xiang Hong was talking, Lu Cai looked at the flowers he was taking care of with satisfaction, a smile on his face.
Xiang Hong glanced at Lu Cai, then at the Queen Mother, and said, "Your Majesty, about Li Lian."
The Queen Mother smiled and glanced at Xianghong.
Xianghong shut up immediately.
The Queen Mother looked ahead again: "They joined my brother, and how many people have left in recent days? But they are a group of two-faced people. Seeing that Li Jiulang was tolerated by His Majesty, they thought that they could be kept by switching to Li Jiulang from my side. They are scared by Zhu Huang's killing of so many people before he left. Don't worry, they will all come back if this thing succeeds. Oh, it seems that they may not come back, but it doesn't matter. After all, it may not succeed."
Xianghong looked at the Queen Mother and knew that she was actually very angry, but it seemed there was nothing she could do.
Ever since the defeat in the Imperial Guard incident, many of their ministers have begun to defect to Li Jiulang's side.
Especially now, step by step, many people are being held hostage by the Eighth Prince, and His Majesty has replaced them with his own people.
Even in recent days, several important positions have been replaced by their own people.
But Xianghong is someone close to the empress dowager, and she can see clearly that the people the empress dowager can actually use are actually far less than before.
Especially now, it seems that the Eighth Prince is fighting with them in the court, but in fact, it is His Majesty who is pressing them step by step!
The Queen Mother turned around and looked at Xiang Hong: "Do you think it can be done?"
Xiang Hong was stunned. She knew that she was talking about what she was going to do this time, so she said, "Even if it doesn't work, I will try my best."
The Queen Mother said nothing, but turned to look at Lu Cai.
At this time, Lu Cai was holding a pair of small scissors in his hand and helping to trim the flowers.
The Queen Mother saw this and said, "Your Majesty is worried about the person in Lingqi Pavilion. He has always been afraid that I would find that person, so he asked Sun Shanggong to accommodate you in many things and even kept forcing me, leaving me no time to take care of that girl."
Xianghong bowed and dared not say much.
The Queen Mother said, "Tell the eunuch that next time you send flowers, find a rose in the flower room and bring it with you. Tell him that it's from me and looks just like the flowers. I hope it will always be beautiful and new."
Xiang Hong responded.
The Queen Mother turned around and looked at the female official of the Taichang Temple: "Your Majesty and Su Changan's wedding have already started preparations, right?"
The female official immediately replied, "Yes, the palace's Shang Gong Sun, as well as the nine temples and six government offices have all begun to discuss what to do."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "What a big commotion! Those so-called neutral people, seeing His Majesty like this, immediately turned over and started to think of ways to curry favor with Him. Even Yang Shanchang took several steps back and began to retreat and plan. That old guy doesn't think he can become the next Li Jiulang. He is still so nice to us, thinking that as long as I don't get into trouble, His Majesty will not move? Forget it, forget about it. What about the Double Ninth Festival sacrifice to the Imperial Ancestral Temple in a few days and His Majesty's sacrifice to the heaven on the same day to pray for the students' good luck in the imperial examinations?"
The female official immediately said, "It will be held every year, so just follow the routine. As for offering sacrifices to the heavens to pray for the students, the preparations are almost done. Now we just need to wait for the final day. I will personally watch over it, and there will be no mistakes."
The Queen Mother frowned, wanted to say something, and turned to look at Lu Cai.
Lu Cai happened to see the Queen Mother looking at him, and he immediately bowed in greeting.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled, and suddenly turned back to look at Xiang Hong and the female official: "What do you think the scene will be like on the day of the sacrifice?"
Xianghong and the female official didn't dare to speak.
The Queen Mother looked back at Lu Cai and said, "There are still three days left. That's really slow."
…
The residence of the Grand Tutor.
Just now, Taifu Yang Shanchang was summoned into the palace.
After learning that those who were summoned also included Su Wenqing, Li Jiulang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and several people from the Honglu Temple.
Yang Guofu, Yan Jingqing and others sat by the fireplace in the lobby, and everyone looked at Yang Guofu.
Yang Guofu's one eye moved around, wondering what His Majesty was going to do by suddenly summoning these people.
Especially he brought his father with him, after all, those people in front were all His Majesty's men.
Yan Jingqing, as the person with the highest official rank under Yang Guofu, looked at the others who didn't dare to speak, and said, "Guofu, maybe we should just talk about the thing that the old man gave to Su Changan today. We still have to thank the old man. And we have asked the eunuchs to wait. They will send the news back as soon as the old man comes out. There is no point in thinking about it now."
Yang Guofu frowned and nodded. He really couldn't figure out what to do, so he could only think so. But he still frowned and said, "Your Majesty, every move in the past two or three months has forced us to think seriously. But let's not talk about this. What about the people we arranged? Others are fine, but Yu Yang and Ouyang Wenhua must pass the exam this time."
Yan Jingqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if the old man doesn't let us collect money this time, we don't have to collect money. It's always right to arrange our own people."
At this point, Yan Jingqing looked at Yang Guofu and said, "Why don't you tell the old man about this? Anyway, we didn't take any money. Even if His Majesty blames us, at most he will just scold us a few times."
Yang Guofu shook his head: "No, if we have to tell the old man about arranging a few people, he will be exhausted. My sister's affairs are enough to worry him, so let's just ignore them."
Yan Jingqing frowned and said, "When I came here this afternoon, I heard that His Majesty asked Sister Wangshu to give that restaurant with a great location to the Su family?"
Hearing this, Yang Guofu's face turned ugly. "Damn it, the old man gave in and asked me not to even give the dragon and phoenix rings and just let the matter hang. His Majesty didn't say anything, but the old man rushed to apologize. Now not only are the priceless dragon and phoenix rings gone, but even such a good shop is going to be lost. In the afternoon, I asked Wangshu to deliver it, but Wangshu was reluctant and even beat her. I'm really old and have become too timid."
Yan Jingqing sighed, but smiled and said, "But there is good news. Yulang said that they collected a lot of taxes during their salt inspection. They also brought you two beautiful concubines from Yangzhou, so don't be angry. A large sum of money will be in your account soon. Sister Wangshu will be happy, and you can enjoy it too. I heard from Yulang that she is a top-notch beauty in Yangzhou. I heard that she will serve you, and the two of you will be very happy."
Hearing this, Yang Guofu smiled and said, "After you come, arrange for me to stay in the house over at Xianghuofang. Don't let the old man see you."
Yan Jingqing and others laughed.
Yang Guofu thought about what he was going to do next and smiled, but suddenly he remembered something and looked at the official sitting next to Yan Jingqing: "Zitong, is that crazy woman the Queen Mother still doing those weird things?"
The official named Zi Tong, who was from the Taichang Temple, nodded immediately and said, "Well, the news from the palace is that they bought a lot of Su Chang'an's perfume, so the expensive perfume was poured into the palace at will, and the whole palace was filled with flowers. But it probably attracted a lot of insects, so the whole palace was covered with lime."
Yang Guofu frowned: "What is this for?"
Yan Jingqing smiled and said, "She's gone crazy again. I heard that Su Changan's appearance has stimulated her a lot. Guo Fu forgot that she was very jealous when she was young. After forcing her way into the palace, she was also jealous of the late queen. But as long as she stays quiet and acts as a shield for us, she can do whatever she wants."
Yang Guofu frowned, "We still need to investigate. Although that woman always does some inexplicable things, she has been forced into this state. Today, that old man Li Lian publicly jumped out to support Li Jiulang, which clearly shows that he has leaned over. Even when she has been forced into this state, she still has time to smell perfume? This is not the style of that woman, so I'll trouble Zitong to investigate it thoroughly."
The official named Zi Tong immediately said, "Okay."
Yang Guofu stared at the stove with one eye and felt that something was not quite right. There was something not right about the empress dowager. She was not like her usual style.
Yan Jingqing smiled and said, "Guo Fu is still very thoughtful. I will also let people take a look at this, but I wonder what else she can do. Can she blow up our Luoan City? Even if she can, does she have the ability to do so?"
Yang Guofu and the others were stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Yan Jingqing and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Yan Jingqing smiled and slapped his mouth.
However, Yang Guofu picked up the teacup, smiled and took a sip of tea.
That woman definitely couldn't have blown up Luoan City.
After all, where could one get so much gunpowder? Gunpowder was strictly controlled by the imperial court, and fireworks were only allowed to be sold during festivals.
But just after finishing the drink, Yang Guofu frowned: "The two trucks of goods shipped from the Western Regions were taken away directly by the Queen Mother, right? What's on the trucks?"
An official joked: "It's either gunpowder or some small things from the Western Regions. Everyone has checked. There are also spices and sesame oils from the Western Regions in a few barrels. They have all been checked."
Hearing this, Yang Guofu smiled and shook his head, thinking that he was always suspicious.
