Chapter 22 Big sister, you are so bad!!
Hearing Maomao's words, Su Changan stared at Maomao and said, "I advise you to speak properly."
Maomao glanced at Su Changan, sighed, and said helplessly: "I don't want to miss tomorrow either. After all, tomorrow is the perfect opportunity for those who want to harm you to poison you. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of poison it is."
Then Maomao looked at Su Changan and said, "But I have to go back tomorrow."
Su Changan looked at the cat, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
He knew the cat, and if there was nothing really wrong, the cat would never leave.
It's not like this girl has any protective feelings towards me.
But this girl is more protective and is definitely looking forward to someone poisoning her!
but.
The words "must go back" carry a lot of weight.
Especially coming from a cat.
This made Su Changan feel embarrassed to ask him to stay or change the time.
Mao Mao walked beside Su Changan, looking at this friend who looked very pretty from the first sight, but didn't look like a girl, and said, "As for the safety issue, Commander Yan said there is no problem, so you don't need to worry, especially since there will be people checking the food in secret, so you don't need to worry."
Hearing this, Su Changan blurted out: "When I first came to the Su Mansion, they said the same thing, but I was poisoned on the first day."
Maomao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then just don't eat or drink anything."
After saying that, Maomao thought of something and added, "It's best not to touch some things. After all, poison is not limited to being put into food. Or, let Commander Yan test the poison for you. Ordinary poisons rarely knock down an eighth-grade master. If it's a chronic poison, Commander Yan will be able to feel it after eating it."
When Su Changan heard this, his handsome face twisted.
Very good, I don’t want to go to this poetry reading even more!
Maomao, on the other hand, didn’t know if it was because they were talking about this, but she looked at Su Changan expectantly and said, “If Commander Yan really feels it, or knocks her down, bring the poisoned thing back to me!!”
Look at the cat who gets extremely excited and expectant whenever poison is mentioned.
Su Changan said softly: "If Commander Yan hears this, you will really be punished."
The cat raised an eyebrow and started walking again, but the expression on his face was full of expectation.
As for Su Changan
I was thinking whether I should just pretend to be sick, after all, there is no cat around.
My sense of security plummeted!
Maomao looked at Su Changan again and said, "Speaking of which, I want to ask you for something."
Su Changan looked at the cat: "What?"
Maomao said, "Your rouge, which was prepared for you by the Su family, and the ones taken from the palace, I see you don't need them and just leave them to gather dust, can I take them all? I've used all my money to buy medicinal herbs, and if I go back empty-handed tomorrow, I'll get beaten. And some of my sisters are still using lead powder, and I don't want them to continue using that poisonous stuff."
Su Changan hummed: "Sure, I don't need those things anyway, so they're just sitting there anyway."
Su Changan never asked about Maomao's family affairs and her secrets, and Maomao never brought them up on her own initiative.
but
Su Changan could guess that Maomao must have come from not a very good place. After all, Su Changan had heard from Commander Yan that Maomao was sold into the palace.
Apart from that, Su Changan didn't speculate much and never asked proactively.
After all, the cat said it himself when it was time to say it.
but
After Su Changan agreed to Maomao, he asked seriously, "You can take whatever you want, but can you tell me why you are afraid of those sisters you mentioned?"
Stare~~~
Su Changan stared at the cat.
Maomao was also staring at Su Changan.
The four looked into each other's eyes.
After a long while, Maomao said, "Remember, if you are poisoned, bring back the poisoned dishes or utensils."
After saying that, Maomao bowed to Su Changan and said, "Thank you for your help."
Then, he turned around and left.
very good!
Escaped in panic!
I won this round!!
Su Changan thought so as he looked at Maomao's back.
But take a closer look.
Su Changan was depressed again, because what would he do if someone really poisoned him tomorrow?
Are they really going to use Yan Ruyu to test the poison?
Or do you really just sit there and do nothing, without eating or drinking?
This is a shitty poetry gathering!!
…
Not long after Su Changan and Maomao returned to Yimeiyuan, Yan Ruyu also came back from the second lady Su Linhan's place.
According to Yan Ruyu, Su Linhan had calmed down and expressed her gratitude, and she also wanted to apologize to Su Changan for her reckless behavior yesterday.
certainly
To these.
Su Changan didn't care.
Yan Ruyu also briefly told Su Changan about the arrangements for tomorrow's early winter poetry meeting.
In fact, we set off in the afternoon.
It’s just because the early winter poetry meeting begins when the sunset is fading and dusk is approaching.
As for why this time was chosen instead of the beginning of the day, according to Yan Ruyu, the early winter poetry gatherings have always been like this.
To this
Su Changan just muttered this in his mind.
If you want to be romantic, you have to be a scholar!
After all, the most beautiful time of the day is sunrise, sunset, or night. These three times are the best times for writing poems and reciting lyrics and being in high spirits.
I roughly understand these.
Su Changan didn't want to think about it anymore, he just looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "Ming'er, do you want to try the poison?"
…
The crescent moon was curved like an eyebrow, and the moonlight fell, dotting the majestic and heavy imperial palace as if dotted with frost.
On the side of Zhonghe Hall, the second of the three main halls on the central axis, is the study room where the current empress Xia Fengxiang resides.
The study is simply furnished, with bookshelves on all four sides and a huge round dragon bed in the middle.
Apart from the empress lying on her side on the couch, there was only a female official in gorgeous clothes standing at the door. Looking at her purple official uniform, one could tell that her rank was not low.
"There's not enough paper. Bring me some more!"
The Empress ordered.
The female official immediately saluted the empress: "Yes."
Then he glanced at the paper balls on the ground, helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he still stepped back respectfully and went to get paper for the empress.
I just thought in my heart that Su Changan was really extraordinary, which made the empress so worried about him.
But on second thought, the child doesn't have any other qualities besides being good-looking and knowing some poetry, so why does the empress worry so much about him?
I can't figure it out.
This female official, who had spent her entire life serving in the palace, really couldn't understand the matter of love.
Could it be that the word love mentioned in the book is unknown, it has no origin, no place to stay, no ending, no trace, no end?
Bang!
Just as the female official took two steps, she heard the empress on the dragon bed throw out another ball of paper.
The female official looked back slightly at the empress on the bed
I don’t understand!
Looking at Empress Xia Fengxiang on the dragon bed again, she was no longer wearing the bright red dragon robe and crown she used to wear. She was only wearing a red robe embroidered with golden words. She was very angry at the moment. She lowered her head to look at the poems with the words "The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble face" that were sent to her by Old Master Su overnight.
On one side, there were several pieces of paper.
"Amazing! Su Changan! You have learned to write about beauties after leaving the palace! You actually dared to write about beauties when I was not around!! Whose beauty is this!!"
"Su Changan, the beauty you wrote about is me? Or someone else? If you don't tell me, believe it or not, I will have someone arrest you and bring you to the palace right now!"
"Good! You're great! We've been together for a few months, and you didn't tell me that you could write poetry. Now that you've left the palace, you're writing about beauties, right?! You're also making delicious snacks, right?! Why didn't you make them for me?! You know I like sweets!"
"Write me a hundred poems!! Otherwise I will make you regret writing those poems!!"
"It's been so many days and you haven't even written to me! Have you been seduced by some little witch out there?! You didn't even let Yan Ruyu bring a message in!!"
"Su Changan!!!"
…
Each piece of paper looks like a letter.
There were scribbles on each letter, so it was hard to tell what was written on it, but the long ones filled up an entire sheet of paper, while the short ones only had three big characters: "Su Chang'an".
Bang!
But the empress waved her sleeves, picked up another letter from the letters, crumpled it into a ball and threw it directly out of the curtain outside the dragon bed.
The paper ball was also successfully integrated into the other paper balls on the ground.
The empress was so angry that she kept biting her lips. She seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. The angrier she became, the more she wanted to beat Su Changan up right now!
Wow!
But it was the empress who stood up and walked down from the dragon bed.
At this time, the female official held a tray in her hand and said, "Your Majesty, the paper is here."
The Empress looked at the court lady and said, "I am going to the early winter poetry meeting tomorrow."
Hearing this, the female official immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, no."
The empress clenched her fists: "The Queen Mother will say whatever she wants, so let her..."
But at this point, the empress looked at the lady-in-waiting and shook her head, then clenched her fists again: "So annoying!!"
The female official respectfully placed the paper on the table beside the dragon couch.
After the empress glanced at the papers, she looked at the court lady and said, "I just want to beat Su Changan up, what should I do?!"
The female official was helpless, but still said: "I can tell Deputy Commander Yan and let her do it for you."
The empress frowned and shook her head: "What if it's broken? Ruyu is an eighth-grade one. Although that bastard is stronger than an ordinary person, he is still an ordinary person after all."
Then the empress simply clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "But I just want Su Changan to get beaten up! I want to vent my anger!!"
The female official remained silent because she didn't know how to respond.
after all
This was not something she could have a say in.
The empress bit her lip, her eyes were angry, but her eyes flickered, "Even if I'm so angry, I can't let that person feel comfortable!!"
Then he picked up a pen, wrote a sentence on the paper, and handed it directly to the female official: "Give it to Yan Ruyu."
The female official took it with both hands: "Yes."
The empress thought of what she had said, and perhaps she thought of the scene that Su Changan would see, or something else, the corners of her mouth rose and she snorted.
Then he opened the curtain and sat on the dragon bed again.
His eyes turned to the poems written by Su Changan.
I just calmed down a little, and now it’s back again!
My enemy!! Why didn’t you write me a song like this after so long!! You wrote so many after you left!!
I am so mad!!
Outside the curtain, the female official looked at the current empress and felt a little helpless, but she also recalled that the former empress was the same in the past.
And this look.
She looks exactly the same as the late Queen Mother, the empress's biological mother.
and
The lady remembered that the man who explained this behavior to her said, "I like him, so I don't want to talk to him about any nonsense."
yes
She likes him (her), so she doesn't want to reason with him (her).
but.
The female official seemed to understand but not quite.
After all, he had spent his entire life in the palace and had no time to think about these things. He was only concerned with protecting and caring for the current empress.
…
Su Changan woke up the next morning.
He sneezed all night last night and happily thought he was really sick, but
very good
Which bastard was thinking of scolding me in the middle of the night? It made me sneeze all night long! !
Feeling so angry in his heart, Su Changan ate three big bowls of porridge.
Then he watched the cat leave with a bunch of rouge that he didn't need anymore.
but
Su Changan caught up with Maomao again.
It's not about trying to retain you or anything.
Instead, he asked Yan Ruyu for some silver to give to Maomao.
Then
The cat didn't ask for money.
Just remind Su Changan that if he was poisoned, he must bring the poisoned thing back for her to see.
Su Changan held the silver in his hand, feeling a little sad, and wondering why he made a friend who was so eager to be poisoned.
But Maomao added that Su Changan should be careful and not touch anything, and should just finish writing the poem and leave.
all of a sudden
Su Changan felt warm in his heart again.
But the cat said again, don't die.
Su Changan felt disappointed again.
I just want to say that this friendship will be gone sooner or later!
But he still forced the silver into Maomao's hands.
Su Changan was busy in the study until just before leaving in the afternoon.
It's not like I'm studying or anything like that.
Instead, I was eating while thinking about soap.
After all, there are so many flowers in the Su Mansion Garden, and winter is approaching. Even if they are cultivated in a greenhouse, many of them will definitely die.
Rather than letting it wither away alone, it is better to make full use of it.
After Yan Ruyu informed him that it was time to leave, he changed his clothes and left with Yan Ruyu.
When arriving at the gate.
Then I saw Miss Su Linhan, who had been waiting for a long time, as well as Su Zhaoxin and Su Wan'er.
Met Su Changan.
Su Zhaoxin and Su Wan'er trotted over happily.
Su Linhan didn't feel too embarrassed. She just bowed slightly and avoided Su Changan.
Without waiting for Su Changan to say anything, he hurried over to the carriage.
However, Su Changan saw that Su Linhan's face was slightly red, and the little maid Zhu Lin didn't even dare to look at Su Changan.
Obviously, he is in love with himself.
Relieved, but not completely relieved.
Instead, Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Changan and said hurriedly: "My uncle came back last night and praised me, saying that I have grown up."
Su Changan smiled and said, "Because you helped Wan'er get the book?"
Su Zhaoxin immediately shook his head: "How could that be possible? I was just copying a book and reciting a poem yesterday."
Su Changan glanced at Su Wan'er.
Su Wan'er immediately said: "Brother did recite the poem."
Su Changan immediately looked at Su Zhaoxin.
Su Zhaoxin said with a proud look on his face: "As for me, although I have that invincible poem, after thinking about it, I think it's not enough to just rely on one poem, so I memorized one. Wait a minute, let me think about the longevity of the divine turtle. What is the divine turtle's longevity?"
But at the end, Su Zhaoxin looked a little confused and turned to look at his sister.
Su Wan'er was helpless for a moment and was about to speak.
But Su Changan immediately said, "Although the divine tortoise is thin, it still has some meat. Find a pot and put some pork in it."
When Su Wan'er heard this, she looked at Su Chang'an in surprise, but the girl with pigtails looked at Su Chang'an's smile and immediately understood. She stopped talking and just looked at her brother, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Changan in confusion: "Is this it? Why does it feel wrong to me?"
Su Changan pointed at himself: "Are you going to question me?"
Su Zhaoxin blinked at Su Changan and immediately shook his head: "Yeah! I thought too much. How could you recite the wrong poem, big sister? You have such a good literary talent. But don't recite it for now. Let me think about it. This lyric sounds a bit fragrant. Let me digest it."
Su Changan nodded with satisfaction, gave Su Zhaoxin an encouraging look, then took Su Wan'er's hand and walked towards the carriage.
Su Zhaoxin followed behind him, moving his lips and mumbling, "Although the tortoise is thin, it still has some meat. Find a pot and put some pork in it." He swallowed his saliva while mumbling.
Su Wan'er stole a glance at her brother, snickered at Su Chang'an and said, "Big sister, you are so mean!"
Su Changan smiled slightly.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Linhan lifting the curtain and peeking at him.
