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

Chapter 606: Lively People Have the Most Worry

Pei Nanzhi looked at Su Changan thoughtfully. This cultural exchange was like this. It would be beneficial to Daxia in every way. If there was any harm, it would be the cost of manpower and financial resources.

However, compared with the benefits to the country, human and financial resources are insignificant.

Thinking about this cultural exhibition, Pei Nanzhi suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up, almost turning into silver ingots.

Mu Xu was aware of his junior sister's behavior and knew that she must be planning something again, but he ignored her and simply went over the matter in his mind. There were too many things to add and too many things to prepare, so he immediately bowed to Su Changan and said, "After I go back, I will discuss this matter with my colleagues in the Imperial College. After I come up with a plan, I will present it to you, Your Majesty, for your review."

Mu Xu was thinking about the cultural exchange between countries. He thought that His Majesty had asked him to go to the Queen directly after hearing the news. It was obvious that he knew that the Queen would definitely think of this method. He sighed and looked at Su Changan.
Cultural exchanges are something we all want, but it is hard to imagine mutual exhibitions and exchanges, and not just literary exchanges.

But thinking of this, the old scholar Mu Xu felt both worried and distressed.

The worry is because the Empress is ill. Zhang Wenjing still says that she cannot be treated and can only be taken care of.

It is heartbreaking that such a queen of Daxia fell ill.

But looking at Su Changan's beautiful face, Mu Xu couldn't help laughing, wondering when he had become so pretentious. Wasn't the Queen right in front of him?

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu's changing expression and felt a little confused.

But Mu Xu continued, "Well, your Majesty, let's just leave it like this for now. I'd like to ask you to wait until I go back and draw up a plan, and then we can discuss it in detail. The second thing..."

At this point, Mu Xu was embarrassed. "Actually, I was thinking of asking the Queen to postpone their wedding. You issued an order for them to get married, but Yao Yuanzai, that old man, went to study abroad at such an old age. Yao Yuanzai is not here now, so I thought to myself that I should wait for him to come back and see the two children get married. After all, he has been Shuying's teacher since she was a kid."

"Originally, it was Shuying who wanted to talk to you about this matter, but she was busy with Xun Kuang and other people from other countries, and also busy with the Cold Food Festival outing, so I, as an old minister, was concerned about her. After all, I have some friendship with Yao Yuanzai."

Hearing this, Su Changan smiled and said, "The decree was issued that day because I saw that they had reached that step, but there was still a barrier between the two of them. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stamped the Phoenix Seal. I didn't say that they had to get married right away, so when to get married is up to you guys to decide. Just tell me in advance so that I can prepare a gift."

As if he had expected this, Mu Xu immediately bowed to Su Changan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Mu Xu's greeting, Pei Nanzhi said, "Is it my turn?"

Su Changan looked at Pei Nanzhi.

Mu Xu said nothing more, just looked at his junior sister, feeling speechless. However, since they were already in front of the Queen, he naturally couldn't teach her a lesson, so he simply sat on the chair, looked at the snacks he had never seen before, and took a bite.

The old scholar was immediately surprised and thought it was quite delicious!

Pei Nanzhi got straight to the point and looked at Su Changan and said, "I want to be the chief officer of this cultural exchange!"

Mu Xu almost spit out a mouthful of nonsense, then looked at Pei Nanzhi and said, "You should be more courageous!"
Su Changan shook his head: "No."

Pei Nanzhi sighed, and then said: "Can the gambling house in the capital let me in?"

Su Changan shook his head again: "No."

Pei Nanzhi's cheeks puffed up, looking unhappy, but he immediately continued: "Then can I find someone to play Pai Gow in the Imperial College?"

Su Changan blinked and immediately replied, "No."

Pei Nanzhi's cheeks puffed up even more, and he looked unhappy, "You are as cold-blooded and ruthless as the late queen!"

Su Changan looked at Pei Nanzhi and rubbed his eyebrows. How should I put it? Before leaving, he actually knew about the affairs of the late queen's best friend, and he had also come into contact with her.

After all, Pei Nanzhi had gone to the palace to meet the emperor after the Lantern Festival.

What scared Su Changan at that time was that Aunt Pei rushed over and hugged Aunt Yan as soon as she saw her, and Aunt Yan did not dodge at all, but just looked at Pei Nanzhi.

Xia Fengxiang told Su Changan that Pei Nanzhi had a very good relationship with Yan Yunxiao in the past, and also had a particularly good relationship with her mother. Most importantly, Aunt Pei always took her out to play when she was a child, until Aunt Pei was sent out of the capital because she gambled too much.

Moreover, Pei Nanzhi has always had the mentality of a child. He is obviously gifted and can learn anything quickly, and has the potential to surpass Mu Xu, but he has a gambling habit and is cynical.

In Xia Fengxiang's words, "Father said Aunt Pei is a typical person who wastes her talent and makes people hate her to death."

Pei Nanzhi looked at Su Changan, thought for a moment, and bit her lip: "Then, can you give me a piece of your calligraphy?"

Su Changan spoke again: "His Majesty told me that no one can give it to you, because you will sell it for money."

Pei Nanzhi was ruthlessly exposed and became even more angry. He turned to look at Mu Xu with a look that said, "Why don't you say something?"

Mu Xu ate four or five donkey rolls in one breath. Seeing Pei Nanzhi looking at him, he turned around immediately and said, "Go and solve your own problems. Besides, you came to His Majesty and His Majesty for your problem and you haven't been driven away. It's just your luck that you met these two."

but
Mu Xu took a bite of the donkey roll in his hand and said, "My queen's writing, I haven't seen anything new in a long time."
Pei Nanzhi looked at Su Changan, walked to the floor, and said pitifully: "If these don't work, can you give me a promotion? The salary is too low. I can't even afford an inkstone with some history that I like."

Mu Xu shook his head helplessly. Only his junior sister had the courage to directly ask His Majesty and the Queen for an official position.

Su Changan asked back: "Your Majesty agrees?"

Pei Nanzhi shook his head.

Su Changan said: "Then I can't agree to it either."

Pei Nanzhi's face was completely puffed up, and then he looked at Su Changan aggrievedly: "After you became the number one on the poetry list, few people bought my poems. I relied on this to make a living. Now the salary is very little, and I can't go to the gambling house. I can't even eat. If the late queen knew how pitiful I was, she would definitely not ignore me."

As he spoke, Pei Nanzhi rubbed his eyes with his hands, as if he was crying.

But he secretly glanced at Su Changan's reaction and saw that Su Changan looked helpless and even choked up.

Su Changan rubbed his brows again. He had experienced Pei Nanzhi's acting skills before, in front of Xia Fengxiang and himself.

On the other hand, Mu Xu shook his head with a look of shame. There was only one person in the world who dared to do this in front of the Queen and His Majesty, but only these two saints would allow such a person to do so.

But Mu Xu looked at his little junior sister, shook his head and thought that if the master knew that his junior sister had become even more outrageous, he would be so angry that he would be fuming again.

While thinking this, Mu Xu secretly stuffed the donkey rolls into his sleeves one by one. After all, the queen had plenty of them, so she wouldn't be short of a few.

While taking it, he looked at his junior sister's expression. He really felt unworthy of being a scholar!
Looking at Pei Nanzhi, Su Changan smiled helplessly: "Although I can't agree to these things, I can buy you the inkstone you mentioned. However, aunt, we are not here for these things today, after all, you wrote letters for these things before."

When Pei Nanzhi heard that someone was going to buy her an inkstone, she became as happy as a child.

Su Changan looked at Pei Nanzhi, smiled, and then stood up and bowed to Pei Nanzhi: "Aunt, I'm fine. There's no need to write letters every day to greet you, or to bother Zhang Wenjing. I just need to rest more. Besides, I'm under house arrest now, and I can make the mahjong I promised you before."

Many people care about Su Changan.

Like the people of the Su family, such as Aunt Sun, Yan Yunxiao, etc.
But the most insignificant thing here, and the most expected thing is Pei Nanzhi.

This woman, known to everyone in the world as the best female tutor in the world and a close friend of the late Queen, was a great success.

This was not the first time Pei Nanzhi came here. Every now and then, Pei Nanzhi would find an excuse to come with someone. The first time was with Li Chunfang, the Minister of the Honglu Temple. Li Chunfang came to apologize because of the incident with the Honglu Temple officials that night. Pei Nanzhi came with Li Chunfang. Later, it was Xun Kuang, and then the current Mu Xu.

Since he couldn't come in person, Pei Nanzhi would write a memorial or go and pester Zhang Wenjing to ask questions.

From beginning to end, Pei Nanzhi never asked about the health of Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.

But she has always cared about him in her own way. The reason is that according to what Xia Fengxiang told Su Changan, "Aunt Pei, don't look at you as cynical. You are more casual than Xun Kuang and say anything, but you can't express your feelings about the people you care about. Aunt Pei is very shy."

Su Changan didn't understand why there was anything to be ashamed of.

But Su Changan knew that the more a person pretended to be relaxed and nonchalant, the more likely he or she was to have trouble letting go of things.

Pei Nanzhi has never let go of the death of the late queen.

Or, like the time when Pei Nanzhi and Xun Kuang came, Xia Fengxiang watched Pei Nanzhi leave with grievance, and said to Su Changan, 'Aunt Pei went to the wall of the imperial city alone on the night when my mother left, and danced all night in the rain. She was seeing my mother off. She went back later because that courtyard was given to her by my mother, and many of the things in it were specially found and given to her by my mother because she knew she liked them. So she would rather write poems and sell them than sell those things. After my father left, Aunt Pei ran back and wanted to stay by my side forever. I asked someone to send her away and not let her go to Beijing because it was too dangerous at that time. Aunt Pei was very afraid that I would die too, and now she is probably afraid that something will happen to you, so she has been crazy like a child these days, although she has been like a child since before. I have grown up, but she is still like this.'

After saying this, Xia Fengxiang leaned on Su Changan's shoulder and added, "Aunt Pei has never married because my mother passed away and no one accompanied her to get married. She and my mother were best friends and agreed to accompany each other to get married, otherwise it would be better not to get married. And Aunt Pei has always looked down on my father and felt that my father was not worthy of my mother."

Hear what Su Changan said.
Pei Nanzhi looked at Su Changan, whose white hair fluttered gently in the spring breeze, and realized that everything he had done had been seen through. He felt a little embarrassed, but Pei Nanzhi suddenly realized something and looked at Su Changan and asked, "Now that the atmosphere has come to this, can I get a promotion and a raise in salary?"

boom!
Just as Pei Nanzhi finished speaking, Shentu Kuyue, who was sleeping upside down in the hammock, suddenly fell off.

Everyone turned to look.

Shentu Kuyue stood up suddenly, with leaves on her head. However, Shentu Kuyue wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and looked at Su Changan in a daze: "Is dinner ready?"

Everyone was helpless.

But everyone chose to ignore it.

Pei Nanzhi glanced at Shentu Kuyue, then looked at Su Changan: "Deputy Commander Shentu was so happy for me that she almost fell down."

Su Changan looked at Pei Nanzhi. Could they pull it together? So he immediately said, "No."

Pei Nanzhi was unhappy again.

But in his heart, he smiled at Su Changan.

But looking at the white hair, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. Let's wait for some time. I'll talk about it after some time.

When Mu Xu and Pei Nanzhi left, Mu Xu took away two bags of donkey rolls. Pei Nanzhi came pitifully and left aggrieved.

However, on the way back, Mu Xu glanced at his junior sister and said nothing.

Instead, Pei Nanzhi touched the comb in his sleeve.

That year, in the palace of the late queen, she used this comb to comb the hair of the queen who was terminally ill at the time.

The late queen's hair became very thin after she became ill, so Pei Nanzhi was very careful when combing it.

They have been combing each other's hair like this since they were children.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the late Queen Mother smiled and said, "Nanzhi, after I leave, let Fengxiang comb your hair."

Pei Nanzhi looked disgusted: "That girl is crazy. Last time she almost made a bunch of my hair wrinkled. It's better if you come."

The late Queen laughed and said, "How can I comb your hair if I become a ghost?"

Pei Nanzhi said nothing.

The former Queen said, "But speaking of that girl, she is crazy and I don't know what kind of husband she will find."

Pei Nanzhi thought for a moment and said, "What if it's a woman?"

The late Queen immediately laughed and said, "When you comb Fengxiang's hair, please also help comb the child's hair for me."

Pei Nanzhi looked disgusted: "Try to survive, and then do it yourself! Don't do anything to me casually, I still have many important things to do."

The late Queen Mother laughed, then looked at herself in the mirror, feeling somewhat sad.

Pei Nanzhi turned the mirror over.

The former queen smiled and said, "Nanzhi, I'm sorry. I don't think I can accompany you to get married. It's all your fault that you look down on everyone and only think about gambling instead of looking for someone you love."

Pei Nanzhi paused for a moment, looked down at the hair of her best friend in her hand, and said softly, "Then don't get married."

The former queen smiled helplessly, leaned back in her chair, and said weakly, "What are you talking about? But wait a minute, I'll dance for you. Just think of it as me dancing for you at your wedding banquet."

Pei Nanzhi stretched out her hand and pinched the face of the late queen: "Rest well, and when I find a man better than Your Majesty, you will accompany me to marry. And if you leave before me, be careful or I will scold you. I am a scholar, and I have a lot of ways to scold people."

The former queen laughed and said, "Then on the day I leave, you scold me harshly and then dance with me. It's the dance you fell down at my wedding because you were shy. I want to watch it."

Pei Nanzhi said in a clear and loud voice: "Don't dream!"

then
A few days later, the late Queen passed away.

When Pei Nanzhi arrived, he only saw the cold body.

She didn't say a word, but just cursed for a long time, "Fool!"

It rained that night.

Pei Nanzhi came to the top of the city wall and danced all night in the most clearly visible place right in front of the Queen's funeral hall, repeating the same movements.

……

Walking on the way out of the palace at Lingqi Pavilion, Pei Nanzhi withdrew his thoughts and looked at Mu Xu: "Senior Brother."

Mu Xu was holding the donkey roll that Su Changan gave her before leaving, and turned to look at Pei Nanzhi.

Pei Nanzhi said, "I think we should promote Daxia's Pai Gow culture at that cultural exchange meeting. I can perform on the spot."
