I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 267 Big Wedding (V)

Everyone was confused, looking at me one after another, and then they all looked at the palace ladies who seemed to be starting to assemble.

The strange place on the top of each small wooden stick is like the mortise and tenon joints these people have seen in daily life, but there are some differences.

Because there are small holes in some of the wooden sticks and the mortise and tenon joints of the wooden sticks, it feels like inserting a small wooden stick, and there are indeed small wooden sticks in the small box next to the palace people on one side. .

And some officials saw that when a small wooden stick was inserted into the interface, the wooden stick could move after being connected to the wooden stick.

Everyone was surprised to see it.

And as the palace people assembled it very skillfully, it only took a while, but the benches appeared in the eyes of the ministers and envoys from other countries.

And the chair surface is made of wood that has been folded in half. After gently unfolding it, place it on the bench, and it's done!
Everyone looked at it and curled their lips. Although the splicing method was a bit novel, especially the interface, this was just an ordinary bench.

So that's all the surprise in my heart.

However, these few palace people quickly made a stool that looked good, which was quite good.

It is very light and portable. If you go out for fun, you can take it with you without having to carry those bulky stools.

But this time.
One of the palace attendants made a mistake while he was busy. As if he had made a mistake, he pushed gently, but he pushed out the small wooden rod used to fix it. After a few more pushes, the stool that had just been made was dismantled. , and then quickly reinstalled it.

"Not a dead thing?" an official said with a surprised look on his face.

The so-called dead objects are those that are fixed and dead, which are the desks, chairs and benches that we see in daily life.

When the official finished saying this, a palace official immediately answered: "No, the Queen Mother said that it would be too laborious to move stools and tables, so he sent the drawings half a month ago and invented this portable device. Tables and chairs come out.”

Hearing this, the official who heard this was immediately surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, he couldn't help but look at the table.

Portable? ?

Everyone was wondering what the word was.

Then he immediately saw that the structure of the table seemed to be the same as the chair, so someone asked: "Father-in-law, does the table also have the same structure?"

The eunuch nodded: "Yes, it is also assembled like a chair."

And just when the eunuch finished speaking, he saw an official coming forward to try it. The eunuch immediately said: "My lord, please wait a moment, the assembly has not been completed yet."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised again.

then
Everyone saw those who were assembling the palace, taking the armrests, and placing the backrest-like existence on the stool as if it had just been assembled.

All of a sudden.
It becomes completely different from the stools they usually see.

And the maids spread the cloth on one side on the stool, and then brought cushions over.

Someone stepped forward to try it out and found that the chair was extremely firm and much more comfortable to sit on than the usual bench.

but
At this moment, the officials who were a little surprised because they were watching the assembly process of the bench discovered that a shed had been erected around them.

And the shed is even finished.

Looking carefully, I found that the shed, which was enough to accommodate so many of them, was also made of small wooden sticks like those used to assemble the chairs, and was connected by thick fabrics.

This time, it felt much warmer because of the heater next to me.

But this speed
Everyone looked around and felt very strange. After all, how could such a huge shed be built so easily? It just requires a lot of wood.

But just now I saw that the palace people who were building the shed easily built such a huge shed using some ordinary thick wooden sticks, and it took such a short time.

This made everyone look shocked and curious.

Some people even came forward to see what the principle was.

Because of this thing.
It's a little too convenient.

Just when everyone was surprised, the eunuchs in charge of the divisions began to speak to the civil servants and military generals in their respective areas.

"My lords, please take a seat. This table, the back of the chair and the height can be adjusted. The Queen Mother told me that the lords are coming to eat today, so I can't make you feel uncomfortable, so I made this thing specially." .”

Everyone was surprised again when they heard it.

Adjust height, back?
While everyone was puzzled, they all curiously looked at the tables and chairs in front of them, some of which they wanted to show off to the palace people around them.

Those palace people naturally showed them one by one.

After everyone read it, they all sighed.

The interface between wooden sticks is fixed with tenons and tenons. It is very common and everyone knows it clearly.

And folding it in half is also common.

But this interface uses a small wooden stick and another small thing that no one can see what it is, but it can be used flexibly, which is novel.

In particular, some people were even more surprised when they discovered that the table top and chair surface can be folded one by one like a fan.

Folding is actually nothing.
There are many existences in life, such as those of Mazar.
But this is so delicate and so portable, it is more exquisite and simpler than the Mazar, especially since it can be removed and restored at any time.

After a brief understanding, some officials even lamented that this is easier to carry than those clumsy tables and chairs!

And everyone tried it, and it was very strong!

Especially with this backrest, I no longer have to worry about back pain while sitting!
"What a good thing. When I go on a study tour from now on, don't I just bring a few wooden sticks and the necessary fabrics to build a resting place?" After Xun Kuang finished studying the tent, he ran to the bench. After sitting on it, he looked at Ji Shuying who was sitting next to him.

Although Ji Shuying teaches a doctor of Taixue, she also has some research on this mechanical technique. After reading it carefully, she immediately understood the principle.

In fact, it means that the mortise and tenon structure is combined with the hinge. The design is ingenious and very exquisite.

"When I'm done, I'll ask you to get one from your empress, and I'll do some research. There's nothing to say about our relationship with your empress!" Xun Kuang knew that Ji Shuying liked this, so he said.

Ji Shuying smiled slightly, then nodded.

Then he lowered his head and continued to study, because this thing can be used in many places in life.

The entire shed was completely set up, and there was a stove. Soon everyone was warm, and there was wine and music playing on top of the wedding banquet.

Even the dancers in the palace also started dancing at this time.

all of a sudden
The atmosphere has improved!
However, the ministers were still surprised by these extremely portable little things.

Li Jiulang, Cao Zhen and Li Chunfang had actually known about this for a long time.

So it's not like other people.

However, what needs to be said still needs to be said.

I saw Cao Shen sitting on the chair. After trying it out and adjusting it slightly, he immediately looked at Dugu Ruyuan beside him and said, "Dugu, let me tell you, this is specially invented by the empress for the sake of frugality."

Dugu Qing of Dali Temple sat on the bench as he wished and felt quite comfortable, especially when he saw the big tent being quickly set up, which was a bit novel. When he heard Cao Shen's words, he couldn't help but look at Cao Shen.

Not only Dugu Ruyu was like this, but other civil servants around him looked at Cao Shen.

Cao Shen immediately said: "With these inventions, we can save more than 6 taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Xuancheng, Yan Ci and others on the side looked at Cao Shen.

6 taels of silver!
That’s a lot of numbers!
Cao Shen's favorite things on weekdays are story books, especially one "Red Mansion" made him completely admire Su Changan, and another "Liao Zhai" made him fall in love with Su Changan.

And now that I have started talking about it, I naturally plan to talk about it carefully.

The Minister of Etiquette said: "Originally, for this wedding banquet, we planned to renovate the Flower Building, which has not been used for many years, and use it for the wedding banquet of His Majesty and the Empress, and the required expenses were not considered. It cost more than 7000 taels of silver to come out, but when the empress saw it, she was not happy! Guess why?"

Speaking of this, Cao Shen's face became mysterious.

Seeing Cao Shen like this, everyone felt helpless, but they also knew that Master Cao had a character that didn't say much.

Cao Shen did not hesitate and said directly: "The empress said that getting married already costs a lot of money. Why build a building that is not used only a few times a year? It costs more than 7000 taels. After that, the empress said Leave it to her."

"So, the empress invented these things overnight, and the total cost was less than 7000 taels of silver. When Mr. Li, Prime Minister Li, and I saw the drawings, the empress was not feeling well that day, and everyone also I know that a few days ago there were rumors in the market that the queen was feeling uncomfortable in her waist, but a few of us saw that day that the queen was indeed suffering from discomfort."

"But do you know why the empress worked so hard and ruined her body to create this thing? For the people!! The empress said there was too much snow this year. Although there is a saying that auspicious snow heralds a good year, the more snow, The crops in the fields will grow well next year, but the snow is heavy, and many people will suffer from the cold, and maybe even disasters. The more than 6 yuan will be kept in the national treasury and used at any time, so it is better to use it for such extravagant things. It’s so much better.”

"Everyone, listen! What our empress said, and your majesty also agreed to it, and let me tell you, the original intention of the empress was simpler than this and more economical, but with so many countries, how can it be too simple? , otherwise the money saved will be even greater!”

Speaking of this, Cao Shen frowned.

Just now Cao Shen said it very vividly. When the people around heard it, they looked at me and I looked at you, and then their hearts became inexplicably aroused.

These portable tables and chairs are convenient though.

But everyone was just thinking about how such a thing could be invented, and it turned out that the empress invented it to save money!
And
In order to invent this thing, I even hurt my body.

Many people know that the Queen has a bad waist, and they all think it is due to her illness.

It turned out that he invented this thing overnight and hurt himself.

The main reason is for the people!In order to save this money, it can be used for the people to survive the winter!

Everyone sighed inwardly and turned to look at the empress, Su Chang'an, who was sitting there, in admiration.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Which woman in the world wouldn't want to have a wedding in a grand and pompous manner, let alone the Queen of Daxia.

结果
This queen cares about the people and is actually willing to save money herself.

Cao Shen originally wanted not to say anything, but the emotional atmosphere had reached this point and he couldn't help it anymore: "Everyone, you don't know, Li Chunfang and I have often bothered the Queen because of wedding matters. One time we went there, we saw The empress was working as a female worker, but she was sewing a small purse. I couldn't help but ask. The empress said that if you sew and mend it, you can use it. Why buy a new one? It's a waste of money. Don't all the people outside sew and mend like this? Well?" After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Chunfang.

Li Chunfang nodded: "That's right."

Everyone was surprised again and looked at the Queen with shock.
Who is that person?
Let’s not talk about the queen’s identity for now.

Even as the eldest lady of the Su family, she is enough to afford fine clothing and food, let alone a purse. It is easy to get a gold-threaded purse.

What's more, she is the majestic queen.

In the end, he was still so diligent and thrifty
Everyone who heard these words thought of the things Su Changan had done, as well as his benevolence, kindness, and extremely kind-hearted nature.

There are all kinds of things in everyone's heart.

fortunate.
My great fortune! !
Wei Xuan was an upright person. After returning to the capital, he heard many things about Su Chang'an. In particular, he saw and heard with his own eyes how much the people on the street loved the empress.

In addition, before, Su Changan had heard about the poem about the snow falling like this and worrying about the people, which was circulated among the people.

therefore
When I heard this
Wei Xuan immediately stood up, looked at Su Changan, and bowed deeply.

How could Daxia not be happy to have such a queen? !

Seeing Wei Xuancheng like this, the other people naturally stopped writing and bowed to Su Changan.

Other uninformed people looked surprised when they saw it, and some couldn't figure out why these people were saluting.

But I asked a little bit.

At this moment, everyone looked shocked.

And this immediately spread from ten to ten.

In an instant, all the civil servants and generals knew what Cao Shen said, as well as the reason for the invention of these portable tables and chairs, and how thrifty Su Changan was.

While they all lamented, just like Wei Xuancheng and others, they bowed to Su Changan.

And those people from other countries also became confused.

But after getting to know her a little bit, they immediately looked at the Queen of Daxia in shock, who was so beautiful in their eyes that they couldn't describe it in words.

After hearing this, the King of the South Campus kept looking at the dancing girls greedily. He shook his head and thought that this is how Daxia people like to show off their money without spending it.

With this thought in mind, he took an orange and ate it in one bite, then looked at the dishes that were delivered to him in the ventilation area left by the curtain.

I thought it was time to wait until the food was served!

but
The next moment, the King of the South Campus noticed that some of the foreign countries had brought out their own gifts, and they were obviously about to give gifts, so he looked at the people around him and said, "Go get the things."

The man was about to say something when he heard it, but after nodding, he turned and left.

And being suddenly saluted by so many people
Su Changan was a little surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "I will be worshiped even if I eat an orange?"

After saying that, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "My lipstick is gone?"

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, also confused by everyone's behavior.

At this time, Sun Shanggong came to Su Changan and gave a brief explanation.

hear this
Su Changan curled his lips and didn't know what to say.

It was true that he was saving money, and he also thought of preventing disasters.

But the main thing is to think of spending so much money to build a building for a wedding and just have a meal, is it crazy?

So Su Changan spent the night getting rid of those portable and foldable things from his previous life. After all, foldable things have already appeared in this world, so making them is very simple. Just change the hinges a little, it's nothing.

But that wallet thing
The reason why Su Changan used it was because the empress gave him the purse, and the empress's craftsmanship was terrible, so Su Changan mended it and continued to use it, otherwise he couldn't throw it away.

Thinking like this, Su Changan picked up the orange and took a bite.

But I ate very carefully because I was afraid of smearing my lipstick.

The main reason is that the food he eats is too unrestrained, which makes people in Fanbang look bad.

It’s a loss of national integrity!

Xia Fengxiang smiled when he saw Su Changan eating so gracefully, and then helped Su Changan peel another orange.

Xia Fengxiang naturally knew the truth of the matter. Fortunately, Su Changan had told her these things.

Of course she didn't care and left everything to Su Chang'an.

I just didn't expect that Cao Shen could say this so outrageously.

but.
That's outrageous. Well, it's a good thing for her that her 'daughter-in-law' can be loved by so many people! !

Besides, she also knew what kind of person Su Changan was, so it wasn't actually too outrageous.

But at this time.
Maomao, who had just wandered around the Eighth Prince, returned to Su Changan and whispered: "That Eighth Prince is indeed poisoned."

Hearing this, Su Changan was stunned for a moment and immediately looked at Maomao.

Even Xia Fengxiang, who also heard this, looked at Maomao.

The two looked puzzled.

Maomao immediately said: "It's not poisoned now. It has smelled for a while. It's the poison of blood withered grass, a chronic poison, but he must have been drinking it for a long time and is very weak."

While speaking, Maomao glanced at the Eighth Prince.

Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang naturally glanced at the Eighth Prince. After they looked at each other, they looked at Maomao with surprised expressions.

Maomao continued: "Because of the medicinal properties of blood withered grass, ordinary doctors can't see any symptoms. Only those who really understand can see it. Many doctors will only think that he is sick from overwork and weak, but I If you smell it, I think it must be mixed into something like tea, and the dosage is very small, but if you drink too much, then it is too much. But the blood withered grass does not accumulate in a few years, so it will not It kills people, but it leaves them so weak that they can just lie in bed and wait for death.”

"Hmm~~How should I put it? It's a good method, but it wouldn't be like this if it weren't for the poisoning of the people around me."

After hearing Maomao's words, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang looked at the Eighth Prince again.

The Eighth Prince was drinking. He was not very interested in the things going on around Su Chang'an, and had no interest at all.

What a bullshit invention, it has nothing to do with me.

Love the people and all that, what's the pretense?

But the Eighth Prince doesn't care about this.

Because his heart is beating very fast now and he is very uneasy!

Especially when he just saw the empress looking at him like that, it reminded him even more inexplicably of that time, when the fourth brother looked like this!

Then he was dragged to the execution ground and almost beheaded!
That look in his eyes was exactly the same as that of my fourth brother back then! !

This made the Eighth Prince very uneasy, and he was even thinking about whether he should run away immediately after the wedding banquet!
But when he was thinking this, the Eighth Prince coughed twice.

But in the past two months, he had become accustomed to such coughs, but when he went to the doctor, he just said that he was too tired and it was nothing serious, so he didn't take it seriously.

But suddenly.
The Eighth Prince raised his eyes and looked towards where the Empress and Queen were.

But when he looked over, he saw Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang looking at him.

When the Eighth Prince looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, their eyes immediately changed.

Among them, Xia Fengxiang picked up the wine glass on the table and gestured.

The Eighth Prince was a little surprised, but he still picked up the wine glass with both hands, returned the gift, and drank it all in one gulp.

The two people who looked at Su Changan no longer looked at themselves.

The Eighth Prince frowned and began to think about what these two people were looking at him for!
Harm me?
On this big day, could this young couple even think about killing people?
wrong!

It’s really possible for this young couple!
Damn it, so I shouldn’t have come! !
But if I think about it carefully, if I don't come, my son will come. If that bastard comes, he might cause some trouble.

Well, if that doesn't work, I'll leave the capital immediately the day after tomorrow!

Just when the Eighth Prince thought so.
Eunuchs and maids carrying dishes came in one after another.

Some of them came in carrying several pots of braziers for roasting whole lambs, and started cutting the meat on the spot.

This made some foreign people feel happy.

There are also other delicious dishes, many of which are specially arranged by Su Changan for those foreign countries. People from those countries are naturally a little surprised when they see them.

And it was at this time.
I saw a man dressed in Western Regions holding a big box in both hands, walking to the middle and saluting Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor of China, and Your Majesty the Queen, first of all, please allow me to express my utmost respect for you two."

When he said this, the envoy bowed deeply to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.

And just after the envoy stood up, the dancers stopped dancing of their own accord, walked to one side, and even the music stopped.

But before the envoy could speak, at this time, Shulu'an, the king of the South Courtyard, walked out rudely: "Shulu'an, the king of the South Courtyard of the Northern Man King's Court in Mobei, has seen Daxia The emperor and the queen."

……

Ps: I have been busy with some things at home all afternoon, so the update is late, sorry.
