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

Chapter 39 Outside the palace, there are old people happy
on the carriage going back
Maomao looked unhappy.

Su Changan and Yan Ruyu saw it, but they didn't ask any further questions, after all, they both knew why she was unhappy.

One is that the poisonous incense was not found.

The other one is that I didn't ask for the remaining poisonous incense from the prime minister in the end, which made Maomao unhappy.

Mao Mao frowned: "If I knew it was hopeless, I would be poisoned to death. I am living a life like golden branches and jade leaves. There are so many precious rouges, but lead powder is used. I don't know the sufferings of the world. How many low-level people just want to make a living. I just used lead powder, but it turns out that such a good life still uses lead powder.”

Maomao was annoyed, thinking about it.

Su Changan and Yan Ruyu listened to each other, looked at each other, and had nothing to say.

Whenever he got the poisonous incense, Maomao wouldn't think about it like this.

Speechless all the way.

Su Changan originally thought that Yan Ruyu would say something about the prime minister, but he didn't say a word.

After all, it's about going to the prime minister's mansion this time.
No matter how you think about it, there are some other people's conspiracy to plot against the prime minister. No matter how stubborn and straightforward Yan Ruyu is, she can definitely see it.

but
Didn't say a word.
I don't know if Yan Ruyu didn't want to understand the twists and turns, or there are other reasons.

Although puzzled, Su Changan didn't ask any further questions.

After returning to Su's residence, the chief steward was already waiting at the door, and immediately said that the old grand master was waiting after seeing Su Chang'an.

heard.

Su Changan nodded.

Came to Mrs. Su's yard.

The old grand master was sitting on a chair with a book in his hand. The bamboo table next to him was told by Su Changan that it was made by Su Linhan when he was a child. .

There are very light dishes on the bamboo table, two pairs of chopsticks, no wine but tea.

The old grand master Su saw Su Changan, but after glancing at him, he waved his hands and signaled Su Changan to sit down by himself.

Elder Master Su continued to look at the pages of the book in his hand.

A servant brought over slices of noodles from the small kitchen in the yard, one bowl was relatively clear soup, and the other bowl was very full.

Su Changan naturally had a bowl full of them.

Grand Master Su put together the books in his hands and said: "Old Master Xia of the previous dynasty advocated "meeting" with the ancients through poetry and songs. It is often written in the book that he often quoted poems when giving lectures to students, such as reciting moon white, so many students at that time Follow him and learn with poems and songs.

As a result, Old Master Meng asked him 'what is a word'

He replied, "Emerged generations and thousands of years, read it and resonate as words"

Old Master Meng laughed and said, "Eating words resonate with people, animals, and everything that can be eaten in the world. Can it be understood that those are all reading?"

Xia Fuzi replied, "Yes, but not. A single word is a sophistry, and a book is multi-character, which is a sentence and a word." '

Old Master Meng asked, "What about the word eating?"Or sleep?These are all words, come on, show me a show where you meet the ancients while eating? '"

Speaking of this, the old grand master Su laughed, then looked at Su Changan and said, "It's just a small story in unofficial history. The two masters of Meng Xia were both great Confucian scholars in the former dynasty. There are many stories between the two of them. They have different ideas, so debates often occur. Old Master Meng advocated reading the world's books, saying that heaven is the law of people's hearts, and scholars must be virtuous. Old Master Xia is reading the world's books, inferring the principles of heaven and learning, and thinks that virtue and learning are high. The difference between the two .”

Su Changan listened to the story told by Mrs. Su, and said with a smile: "I think the two gentlemen are right. After all, one reads books to be a man, and the other reads books to learn. But reading poems to learn, although right , but there is also something wrong. After all, the poems always carry the author's subjective thoughts, and they are not really realistic. They are just words and sentences inspired by the author's feelings. Some of them read nicely, but they are really useless. Moreover, they are also easy to mislead. Others follow the emotions in the poems."

Mrs. Su smiled: "Old Master Xia wrote a sentence in his later years, 'The way of enlightenment lies in virtue, and lies in the ultimate good. A person without virtue is useless'." Although he didn't say it clearly, Old Master Xia admitted that Meng The old master’s pursuit of a virtuous and talented person is a scholar, and the two debated for a lifetime, but in the end, the old master Meng also said that although a virtuous and talented person is a scholar, he has no learning, and he really doesn’t know how to say it.”

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Su pointed to the noodles in front of Su Changan: "Eat it, I know you have a big appetite, so I specially asked people to make more. Telling you this story is out of emotion, after all, I just read it. This book was written by a student of Old Master Meng, and it tells many stories about the two of them. However, I told this story to Lin Han, but she told me that Old Master Meng was right, and Old Master Xia was also right. Yes, we scholars just do it all. Look, you don't have any thoughts of your own, you girl who is a dead student."

Su Chang'an smiled slightly. In fact, he felt that Su Linhan hadn't misunderstood it. After all, the two in one would be fine.

And the old master Su said: "During these days, the old master Cui who was invited by the family has been thinking of discussing with you. The truth you explained to Wan'er before made the old master worry, and in the end it even made trouble. Here I am. That man is a sour Confucian, with a bit of a temper, but his sourness turns into sour, and he is also very knowledgeable. If he comes to you in the future, you don’t need to think that he is an old gentleman and don’t argue with him. It’s better to say In other words, studying is a lifetime thing, just like the two old masters, Meng Xia, realized the truth when they arrived."

Su Chang'an nodded, but he hadn't heard of it, especially Wan'er and Zhaoxin had been running to her a lot in the past few days, but they kept silent.

I have to talk about it when I go back, but I don’t even tell myself this kind of thing!
Mrs. Su smiled smugly: "As you get older, it's easy to talk about things you don't have. That's all right, while you're eating, tell me about the Prime Minister's Mansion. You don't need to talk about eating or sleeping." According to the rules, I come here as I feel comfortable."

When Su Changan heard the words, before coming here, he thought that it must be about the Prime Minister's Mansion, so when he heard Mrs. Su speak up, he naturally began to talk about it.

Listen to it all.

The old grand master Su chewed and swallowed the noodles in his mouth slowly. He didn't speak for a long time. After he finally swallowed it, he took another sip of the noodle soup and said, "This is... a conflict. I want you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a look. It's just a bit of speculation, after all, Li Xingyue is Li Jiulang's baby, how could he need to see a doctor from you."

Su Changan was puzzled, who had a conflict with whom!
Mrs. Su happily picked up a mixed radish, chewed it and swallowed it, and said, "It's about time, those two are bound together because of their family, one is a crazy woman, and the other is Li Jiulang." How can a normal person be with a lunatic."

Su Changan listened in a cloud of mist, and the heart of gossip was about to move.

The old grand master Su looked at Su Changan's curious face, and said with a smile: "I'm just guessing, so I can't tell you, but if it's true, you'll know it by yourself right away. It’s nothing, I’m still here, so there’s no trouble. Besides, although Li Jiulang is greedy, all the money he got is used to do things. He is a good young man, and he is regarded as a neutral faction in the court.”

"Your Majesty wants to marry you. He has never objected to or supported it. After all, it has nothing to do with him, and you saved his precious lump, and he will not let you have trouble. Jiulang is a man who values ​​love, so the late emperor Let him sit in this position. After all, he couldn’t help himself. To protect himself, the current situation came into being. You don’t need to worry about anything. On the contrary, you helped His Majesty’s situation. It’s a good thing. What should you do? , just do what you want, you don’t need to think too much about the things inside.”

Su Chang'an nodded after listening to Mrs. Su's words.

Although he was still curious about what the old master Su had guessed, but if the old master didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask directly.

Anyway, after hearing it, Su Changan felt as if he had done something good?

do not know.

You can't rely on speculation about political matters, and you don't know what it will be until the end.

Mrs. Su's mood is much better now than just now, probably because of Su Changan's saving Li Xingyue.

After eating a big bowl of noodles, he ordered another bowl, and the second half bowl went down. Seeing that Su Changan had just finished a bowl, he asked, "I'm learning martial arts recently, and I'm complaining so much. I'm crying in the yard." You can hear it even in the sun, is it because you have eaten too much, and your appetite has become smaller?"

Su Changan smiled bitterly: "It's not small, this bowl is too real."

Old Master Su shook his head: "Have another bowl."

Then, the steward next to him turned around and left immediately.

The old master Su looked at Su Chang'an and said, "I don't know much about learning martial arts, but your fourth uncle learned martial arts before, and he had a lot of appetite. Thanks to my big salary, otherwise, I would really be a middle-aged man who would eat me to death. And I see that you look like a Jianghu heroine today. You have the appearance of a Jianghu person, but you can't do without the appetite of a Jianghu person."

Su Changan is wearing a white underwear today, with a black coat outside, and his hair is tied into a high ponytail. Although the knife at his waist is covered by the clothes, the red scabbard and handle can be vaguely seen.

At first glance, it really looks like that.

but
Although this noodle soup is lacking in water, it tastes good and can be eaten more.

So after the second bowl came, Su Changan naturally stopped being polite.

Grand Master Su felt much more comfortable watching Su Changan eat.

Coarse grains can nourish the stomach, books can nourish the qi, and scenery can nourish the heart.

With coarse food in his hands, books on his side, beautiful scenery in front of him, and wonderful things he just heard.

What a pleasure!
Involuntarily, Mrs. Su took another big mouthful of noodle soup.

But
It is even more joyful to suddenly think that some people might be half-dead with anger now!
However, Grand Master Su suddenly remembered something, looked at Su Changan and asked, "Recently, can you practice calligraphy?"

Su Changan heard the words.

This is the emotional question again!
……

In the imperial palace, apart from the three major halls that can be seen at a glance when you step into the central axis of Chengtianmen, there are countless palaces around.

The so-called Sangong and Sixth Courts are all about being small.

There are as many as seven or eight palaces where the harem concubines live, not to mention other palaces with various purposes.

but
From the first emperor to the present empress.

There were only two people in the first emperor's harem, the empress and the current empress dowager.

Today's empress has no one in the harem.

Therefore, the Connaught Palace is a little calm.

But fortunately, there are those court ladies and eunuchs who add to the popularity, so it is not deserted.

When the Empress Dowager was a concubine, she lived in the Xingqing Palace. Because she liked simplicity and elegance, the whole palace looked very elegant, without any bright colors.

Even in the main hall of the palace, there are only some blue silk veils hanging down as decorations, nothing else.

Although it looks empty, it has a unique elegance.

As always, the nearly forty-year-old Empress Dowager remained as graceful as before, sitting at the top of the palace, fiddling with a few plum blossoms that had just bloomed in her hands.

A female officer in a red dress whispered something in her ear.

The empress dowager nodded slightly, and said, "If you find it, you will find it. Let him in."

After hesitating for a while, the female officer finally nodded: "Yes."

The empress dowager was still playing with the plum blossoms in her hands.

not for a while
