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

Chapter 605: An accidental World Expo?
Su Changan's two sentences made Mu Xu frown. The old man felt that the Queen had misunderstood him!

Mu Xu looked at Su Changan and said, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. How could I ask you, who is now the number one poet, for poetry so rashly? And your resolute answer hurts my heart."

While speaking, Mu Xu bowed to Su Changan again, feeling quite aggrieved as if he had been deeply wronged, and his old face looked aggrieved.

This appearance is exactly the same as Pei Nanzhi next to her, the only difference is that one is ugly and the other is good-looking.

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu, "I was the same before. You looked for me a lot, and you even set your sights on my cat's small shoulder bag."

But after saying that, Su Changan immediately said seriously: "But don't keep talking about the first place in the poetry list. It makes me look like I am not low-key. I have told you several times."

Mu Xu was ashamed.

You are still low-key!
Mu Xu still remembers that when he first met the Empress after boarding the ship in Jiangnan, the Empress held the Shuyalou list and said, "Come here, Lord Mu, I can't read. Can you show me what's written on it?"

Mu Xu was helpless, but still read it out.

Then Su Changan immediately looked at Mu Xu and said, "Just take a look, why read it out loud? I'm so embarrassed. It seems like I've become inflated after winning a few first places."

That's it, you want to be low-key and get involved with the Empress?

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu and coughed. He liked listening to others talking about their own honors, especially when they said it casually like this. Hey, it felt good.

Su Changan, who was in a good mood to begin with, felt even better. He looked at Mu Xu and said, "Master Jijiu, you came to see me for something, and you even pretended to have an injured leg. I tell you, if you pretended to be lame and came to me to complain about Aunt Yan, I couldn't do anything about it."

The old scholar Mu Xu laughed in silence, then said, "I am pretending to be pitiful so that Your Majesty can see it and not have the heart to reject me."

Mu Xu actually thought about filing a complaint. When he returned to the city that day, Yan Yunxiao blocked him at the city gate and not only gave him a good scolding, but also kicked him a few times.

The old scholar wanted to reason with him, but Yan Yunxiao said, "If you can't beat me, don't talk too much about reason. And you have the nerve to reason with me?"

Mu Xu was speechless on the spot. The next day, he pretended to be lame and went to the Empress to complain just like he did today. He did not dare to go to the Emperor for fear of being scolded by him. It was easier to talk to the Empress than to him.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yunxiao was also there at the time. He didn't dare to say a word and just sat for a while before leaving.

Tired of ah.

While Su Changan was looking at Mu Xu with a helpless smile, he saw Pei Nanzhi looking at him with resentment.

Pei Nanzhi puffed up her cheeks. Despite her age, there was nothing unusual about her behavior. Instead, she looked even more adorable. Especially since Pei Nanzhi was a revered woman in the literary world, and she had a scholarly air about her. This look was quite a contrast.

Mu Xu naturally saw his junior sister's look, shook his head helplessly, looked at Su Changan and said, "Your Majesty, I came here because His Majesty asked me to come to you for something, and said that this matter is under your jurisdiction, and the other thing is about Xun Kuang and Ji Shuying."

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu without saying anything, waiting for the old scholar to speak.

At this time, Linghua brought up tea and snacks.

The snack was "Donkey Rolls" that Su Changan made these days because he had nothing to do.

Xia Fengxiang likes it very much, so Su Changan made some more while teaching it to Xia and the others. This morning, Su Changan made some for your old lady who has been torturing him these days, and left some in Lingqi Pavilion.

Mu Xu looked at the snacks he had never seen before and was puzzled for a moment, but he was not in a hurry to eat them. Instead, he thanked Linghua. No matter what, Mu Xu treated everyone equally, and a simple thank you showed his upbringing.

Looking at Su Changan, Mu Xu said, "Your Majesty, you should know that some scholars from other countries, or some people from the Zoroastrianism, are now in the capital to admire and learn about our Great Xia culture."

Su Changan nodded, he knew about this.

Xia Fengxiang had told him about this, but this matter did not involve diplomacy, it was just a simple cultural exchange, and such things happened every year. After all, the Great Xia cultural circle involved many surrounding countries, including the countries in the Western Regions, and even the Hundred Schools of Thought had penetrated into these countries. Therefore, every year there would be local scholars from other countries coming to study and exchange, including some religious philosophers.

These people came from many countries, and Daxia was never stingy with cultural exchanges. These people came when Su Changan and his companions were in the south, which was about two or three months ago.

It's a big deal, but not so big that Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan need to deal with it personally. The Imperial College can handle it.

So when Mu Xu spoke, Su Changan became a little curious.

Mu Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, these people are about to leave, so we should hold a dinner party to see them off. I asked His Majesty for this favor today, and His Majesty asked me to come to you for this matter."

Mu Xu looked at Su Changan looking at him, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, you don't know that the money allocated by the imperial court to the Imperial College this year is not that sufficient. And since this matter does not involve foreign affairs, I can't ask the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple for help."

At this point, Su Changan understood that it was because he was short of money.

After thinking for a while, Su Changan said, "Does the Imperial College pay for them every year?"

Mu Xu shook his head, "That's not the case. I don't have that much money. If I have the spare money, I should give it to the students. This year, those people brought some things from their countries to the Imperial College. Although I just came back, Xun Kuang has been in charge of this matter, but I did see some things that we don't have in Da Xia. Moreover, the current situation is like this. These people have some reputation in their respective countries. We can't treat them badly. So I thought of sending them as a gift, which is also considered as fulfilling my duty as a host. If there is a war, I will scold them for being shameless and treacherous, and I will have enough confidence. Otherwise, if they scold us for being stingy, I can be embarrassed, but I can't let Da Xia be embarrassed."

What the old scholar said is very true. Although he said it lightly, the current situation is indeed like this. And the more such the situation is, the more we must occupy the moral high ground.

Su Changan understood why Xia Fengxiang pushed this matter to him, so he nodded and said, "I will have someone send the money to the Imperial College. If it is not enough, you can tell me again. The extra money can be left in the Imperial College."

But after saying that, Su Changan thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want to do, Master Jijiu? Just have a meal and chat?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xu curiously asked, "What suggestions does the queen have?"

Su Changan said: "It's not a suggestion. Since it's a cultural exchange, I don't know how you communicate specifically, but you can set up a venue and display many cultures of our Great Xia in it. Then you can also set up places for those countries to display, but most of them should be from our Great Xia. Culture is not just poetry and songs, nor is it just the thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought of our Great Xia. Aren't there other cultures?"

Mu Xu immediately asked back: "Your Majesty, what you mean is to show off our Great Xia's strength? Let them see these things of our Great Xia and make them interested, and then..."

At this point, Mu Xu showed surprise on his face, "What a wonderful idea! No wonder His Majesty asked me to come to you to discuss this matter. This is not just a simple cultural exchange. It also includes letting our Daxia people thoroughly understand the culture, customs and practices of other countries. It not only enhances the knowledge of Daxia people, but also allows them to better understand Daxia, thus assimilating them and letting them buy these things from Daxia."

At this point, Mu Xu's expression became more and more exciting, and he bowed deeply to Su Changan: "This old minister is shallow in knowledge."

Su Changan blinked and said, "No, I didn't think so much about it. I just wanted you to have the upper hand when we quarrel in the future."

but.
Since Mu Xu thought of this, Su Changan naturally smiled and nodded.

just
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that this matter was very familiar.

Did I accidentally create a World Expo?
