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

Chapter 657: Queen Mother: She is so charming, what can I do?
Today, the ministers are discussing important matters in Lingqi Pavilion, and the people participating are at least fourth-rank officials who hold real power.

Because today's matter involved a lot of things, especially religious etiquette, Cui Yu and others also came from behind.

When Cui Yu and others arrived, the first thing they asked about the Queen Mother. But when they knew that the Queen Mother was resting, they did not dare to ask any more questions.

The atmosphere in Lingqi Pavilion was heavy today, making Xunxia, ​​Xiangluo and others a little nervous. They thought they were being called at the slightest movement. After all, although ministers had come to Lingqi Pavilion in the past, it was never like this. Moreover, even Shentu Kuyue couldn't just leave like this today. She had to stay in Lingqi Pavilion in an orderly manner.

When it was over, the sun had set. Su Changan had earlier instructed Xun Xia and others to prepare some snacks. After making the soy sauce, Su Changan tried to make some braised pork and distributed it to the ministers. It was not realistic to keep some for dinner, but they could always bring some back or leave some in the carriage. Otherwise, everyone would definitely be hungry after such a long time.

After receiving them, the ministers all bowed towards the central courtyard to express their gratitude, sighing in their hearts.

But the more this happened, the more serious the ministers became about the issues in the Western Regions being discussed today.

When Cui Yu was leaving, he was holding something in his hands and was reluctant to leave because he didn't see the cat.

Cui Yu hadn't seen Maomao since he came back from Dunhuang. The main reason was that Maomao had been busy in the palace. In particular, the old nanny in the palace clinic was getting old and her health was getting worse. Although several female doctors were recruited there through examinations, Maomao was very worried, so he often went to see the old nanny.

Cui Yu was reluctant to leave, and finally left with a sigh and Su Wenqing, who had asked Aunt Sun to do some things for him. Supporting Su Wenqing, Cui Yu looked back every three steps.

Su Wenqing was worried about Su Changan, so before leaving, he specifically told Aunt Sun that if anything happened, she should send someone to the Su Mansion to inform them immediately. He also told her some trivial matters, such as that Su Changan liked to show off his strength and she should not let him move around.

In fact, Su Wenqing knew that Aunt Sun and the others could do these things better and were more meticulous than himself. His Majesty would definitely give clear instructions, but sometimes he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't give such instructions.

At my age, anything that happens to me is not a big deal, but that girl is only in her early twenties, how could anything go wrong?

After some rather nagging instructions, Su Wenqing had no choice but to leave.

His braised pork was specially ordered by Su Chang'an alone, and there were also some for Su Zimu, Su Liu, Su Zhang and others, so there was a special eunuch following behind.

Su Wenqing sighed, but at the same time he also noticed Cui Yu's appearance.

He knew what Cui Yu was worried about, but he didn't say much. Every family has its own worries and concerns, and there is no need for others to relieve their worries.

Many court officials brought some supplements, both expensive and cheap.

Su Changan was in the side room at that time. After all, he couldn't sit still in the room all the time, so he ran to the side room and listened to them discussing today's events through the bamboo curtain. Finally, he saw the scene of the court officials taking out the things.

Su Changan naturally appreciated the kindness, but when he thought of Zhang Heng, he sighed. The person who delivered the gift to Zhang Heng was Li Chunfang. Li Chunfang himself was from a merchant family and had a strong family background. The gift he delivered was an old mountain ginseng. When Zhang Heng took out his two small bags of walnuts and dates, although there was no embarrassment, he seemed out of place.

However, Su Changan knew that with just two small packages, this old man had already done his best.

Therefore, Su Changan also gave some special instructions on the braised pork for Zhang Heng. After all, Mrs. Zhang was still ill, and he couldn't just take the braised pork back and just look at it, so the taste was also light.

As for other officials, Su Changan naturally also had a detailed understanding of each of them.

When Su Changan arrived at the front yard hall, he looked at Xia Fengxiang, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes.

For some reason, neither of them spoke a word.

Yan Yunxiao and the others left tactfully. Shentu Kuyue wanted to continue watching, but was grabbed by Yan Yunxiao and taken away.

Finally, Su Changan spoke up: "Did you touch my private money?"

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes. There were so many things to say, but he only said this. This person had no future in his life! How could he fall for such a loser!
Although I cursed in my heart, I still said, "I put it in the box beside your bed. I don't put money in the place where I put my clothes."

When Su Changan heard this, he thought about turning around and taking a look. After all, he was bored in the afternoon and wanted to check the money. But when he opened the cabinet, the money was gone!
At that moment, Su Changan felt like the sky was falling.

I originally thought of putting it here because Aunt Sun and the others wouldn’t notice it in this cabinet, but I didn’t expect it to be gone!
And there is no one else except Xia Fengxiang.

Seeing Su Changan was about to go back to the house, Xia Fengxiang glared at him and said, "Come back!"

Su Changan turned back to look at Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang immediately scolded: "What a shame! How can I take your money? I've put it in that box for you!"

Su Changan curled his lips. What should he do? That was his private money!
But just as he was about to speak, Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan and said, "Come and sit down!"

As he said this, he patted the cushion beside him.

After Su Changan thought about it, he looked at Xia Fengxiang and clenched his fists, then walked over to the cushion and sat down.

Just after sitting down, Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but hit Su Changan on the leg. He was not satisfied with it and wanted to hit him a second time, but he raised his fist and put it down again. He just stared at Su Changan. He was not angry, he was enduring. He was not angry. This guy is like this.

Su Changan stretched out his hand to lift up the corner of Xia Fengxiang's mouth, and then said seriously: "Your smile is really ugly."

Snapped

Xia Fengxiang couldn't help it any longer and kicked Su Changan on the leg, "Because of you, I didn't say anything when I was scolded. You just want to piss me off, don't you?"

Su Changan smiled helplessly. Just now, when Zhang Heng, Wei Xuancheng, Imperial Censor Li Lingyun and other people gave him advice, it was more like a sermon than a scolding, as they failed to keep an eye on him and even went out to play with him.

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, then complained: "You are more important than me in their hearts now."

Su Changan thought for a moment and sighed: "He has such charisma, what can I do?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Xia Fengxiang glaring at him again, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry, I'm under house arrest too. If you want to escape next time, you have to be more careful."

By the end, Su Changan had already started thinking about how to disguise himself in the future.

Xia Fengxiang immediately said, "You still want to run! Don't even think about going out in the future. If anything happens to you again, they might hate me."

Xia Fengxiang was annoyed, but not really angry. He was only angry at Su Changan.

The minister dared to accept advice, and it was for Su Changan. Xia Fengxiang could tolerate such a thing.

Xia Fengxiang had been brought up by her father since she was young. She had been taught many things and had seen a lot, such as when her father was advised by Su Wenqing and Mu Xuna, which touched his bottom line. He was so angry that he returned to the palace with a bad face and kept muttering that he would kill those two old guys sooner or later. But when her mother saw it, she smiled and helped to pour water.

Later, Xia Fengxiang asked his mother, as subjects, they spoke like that about his father, who was so angry that he reached for his sword, but why was Mu Xu still happy when he saw Su Wenqing the next day.

Her mother smiled and said that your father was not angry with them, but was angry that he would make a mistake and let them accept advice.

Xia Fengxiang didn't understand it at the time, but later she understood why. If the monarch is wise, naturally no ministers will say anything. But no matter what, the monarch is also a human being and will make mistakes, so someone needs to watch over him. Her father always told her that 'the monarch and his ministers rule the world together' is because of this reason.

So Xia Fengxiang would naturally be angry that those old men said that to her in front of so many people, but what could she do? She couldn't kill him, and she had indulged Su Changan to begin with. Seeing that Su Changan was about to speak, Xia Fengxiang immediately said, "There is no room for negotiation, and you yourself said that your inner demon game is still going on. I asked Aunt Yan, and she said it could continue at any time. In this case, it would be best for you to stay in the palace. Ku Yue will also be by your side, and Aunt Yan can rush there at the first time if anything happens."

At this point, Xia Fengxiang frowned and looked around. The sun had already set, the moon was in the sky, and the candles in Lingqi Pavilion were already lit. "Grandma is really something. She didn't even come out when such a big thing happened. She... um."

When he said this, Su Changan covered Xia Fengxiang's mouth and said seriously: "Don't speak ill of your elders!"

Su Changan still remembered that he had said a few words last time, and that petty old sword immortal had given him a hard time.

You should just bear the consequences yourself, but don't let your wife suffer.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "You haven't said enough."

After saying that, he looked around and sighed, then looked at Su Changan with worry in his eyes. But he was about to ask a few more questions, but then he thought that he seemed to have asked enough questions, and then he looked at Su Changan's white hair.

Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang's expression, smiled and reached out to pinch Xia Fengxiang's face. He knew what his wife was going to do just by looking at her eyes. He could see what this girl had been thinking about since that day, especially when they were discussing state affairs. From time to time, she would inadvertently look towards the central courtyard.

However, there are some things that are useless to say more, not to mention that saying too much will only increase people's worries.

So Su Changan changed the subject: "The one who was locked up is called A Luohan, we can't let anything happen to him."

Xia Fengxiang understood what Su Changan meant. Although he wanted to know more, he followed Su Changan's wishes and nodded, saying, "I have asked the Huanglong Guards to interrogate him. But when it comes to interrogation, Song En is still the best. Unfortunately, he is gone. But he taught Lu Cai everything. So let him wake up for a few days and wait until Lu Cai comes back."

The so-called keeping him awake for a few days means taking turns to guard and not let the Arhat sleep. Su Changan knew this. He had used this trick when he interrogated some of Li Nishang's subordinates. It was troublesome, but very effective.

But Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Are you back?"

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "I thought I would tell you before he comes back. After all, this is a small matter. He should be in Suizhou now. He should be there in about two days, and he came back with your brother Su Liheng."

Hearing this, Su Changan couldn't help but think of the little Lu Cai whom he hadn't seen for almost half a year. Lu Cai was fifteen or sixteen years old when he left. Now he is sixteen or seventeen years old, and has become a ninth-rank official.

Thinking of the suffering that the child had endured, Su Changan sometimes felt helpless, but fortunately he was coming back, and when he was back, the child would no longer suffer.

But when Su Changan learned that Lu Cai had reached the ninth rank, he was shocked. However, Yan Yunxiao said that it was too slow. Song En had used up all his life's skills, but now he was only at the ninth rank and had not yet reached the limit. He was still a long way to go.

Su Changan thought about it, then nodded in front of Aunt Yan, "Well, you are slower than me. My ninth-grade one arrived in no time."

Before I could finish my words, Aunt Yan left.

However, Su Changan did not expect that he would come back with Su Liheng. He thought that they must have met in Raojiang.

After all, Li Heng was going to Raojiang before to see if he could open up a trade route.

But in fact, Su Changan knew that this kid followed Youli, especially after hearing that Youli's parents had a favorite son-in-law, the fat boy ran to Raojiang without even making any money.

Xia Fengxiang was lying on Su Changan's legs at this time. He was tired after a whole day. Xia Fengxiang was actually very tired, but he couldn't show it in front of his ministers. He only did this in front of Su Changan.

She rested her head on Su Changan's legs and put one hand on his other leg. After thinking for a while, the empress said, "Su Changan."

Su Changan looked down at Xia Fengxiang and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Xia Fengxiang said, "Xia Tingyu came to the capital with Wu Qinhu, one of the top ten people in the world. This time, she should be here to explain the situation in the south on behalf of my thirteenth uncle, and she should also investigate the matter of muskets and artillery. After all, brother Zhu Huang's large-scale troop deployment is impossible to hide. Come again."

At this point, Xia Fengxiang frowned, "The story of Grandma has already spread in the martial arts world. The great swordsman from the past may be in the capital. You know that Yu Taohua came to the capital just for Grandma. So, Xia Tingyu should have received an order from Uncle Thirteen and might come to find Grandma."

Seeing Su Changan's confusion, Xia Fengxiang added: "My father told me that my grandmother never participated in the affairs of the court, let alone who became the emperor. But back then, when my father and my thirteenth uncle were fighting the most fiercely, my grandfather was called to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. After he came out, my thirteenth uncle was driven away to Shu."

Su Changan blinked and sighed, "Our emperor was beaten up."

Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan, but did not deny it, because his father also felt that it was the emperor who intervened to calm down the struggle among the princes in the court after being beaten. After all, too many people died at that time. If you don't fight or take sides, you will die. It's cruel, but this is the royal family.

When Su Changan was practicing swordsmanship before, Xia Fengxiang asked her grandmother about this matter, but she just replied, "Your father fought for the throne himself."

Xia Fengxiang sighed: "There must be a 'Lushan' in the Western Regions, otherwise he would not suddenly attack Uncle Zhao. After all, this is a crime of destroying the country. But will this Lushan have the surname Xia?"

Xia Fengxiang's words sounded like he was talking to himself, but also like he was talking to Su Changan.

And as he spoke, Xia Fengxiang slowly closed his eyes, looking worried and sad.

Su Changan looked down and didn't bother him.
I just look at the face in front of me every day, but I never seem to get tired of it. Every time I look at it, I always find something good about it.

Su Changan knew what Lushan was.

The An Lushan in his previous life was not named Lushan. He changed his name to An Lushan because of Zoroastrianism, and used this to attract many people from the Western Regions to his side.

Although this world is not the world of the previous life, many things are exactly the same.

Moreover, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, a man named "Lushan" emerged. This period of history is extremely similar, but one went downhill after suppressing the rebellion, while Daxia was reborn like a phoenix from the ashes, but now it has encountered difficulties.

In fact, Xia Fengxiang and the others had already discussed how to resolve this matter in the afternoon, and Su Changan was unwilling to interrupt because that was the way it was.

But Su Changan was more concerned about those people's energy-gathering skills.

Not to mention myself, even Aunt Yan and the others were completely unaware of it, which is amazing.

The most important thing is that several people from the border have lurked in. The Zoroastrianism is huge in scale. It looks like a martial arts religious sect, but in fact it has long surpassed the scope of ordinary sects. It can even be said to be a big country without territory, with countless soldiers and powerful people.

That's why Su Changan asked those people to take action.

"Su Changan."

At this time, Xia Fengxiang's voice reached Su Changan's ears.

When he looked down, he saw Xia Fengxiang looking at him.

Xia Fengxiang raised his hands and held Su Changan's cheeks, his eyes serious: "You don't need to think about these things, think about your affairs in the Heart Demon Bureau. I can't help you, but I can prevent you from being distracted."

Su Changan smiled and said "hmm".

But I still thought in my mind that it would be great if I could ask the answer from an Arhat.
