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

Chapter 712: The Queen is finally here at this literary gathering
After all, the reputation of the King of Shu has never been very good. Compared with the reputation of the wise king that the Eighth Prince created for the outside world in the past, the King of Shu never did these things.

Moreover, he never concealed his disobedience to the court's orders. In the past, the late emperor rewarded the King of Shu with dozens of followers. Later, these followers disappeared, and when the only one returned to the capital, he looked stupid and foolish, as if he had been drugged.

The King of Shu wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that he was able to survive several assassination attempts because of these people. These people were all heroes and had given him a lot of silver and money.

This caused a huge uproar at the time and countless people in the court reported it to the emperor, but the late emperor did not say anything. He simply provided compensation to the families of these entourages and properly resettled them.

But a month later, news came from Shu that the King of Shu was really assassinated, and all the more than one hundred guards in the palace were killed. Even the King of Shu would have been killed if it were not for the action taken by Zhijing in the palace.

The late emperor wrote a letter to comfort you, telling you to be a good person, otherwise why would so many people try to assassinate you?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the twists and turns here, but no one in the court dared to say anything.

It was also from that time that the King of Shu began to seem to the common people as if he would rebel at any time. Especially after the death of the previous emperor and the succession of the current emperor, there were signs that the King of Shu was recruiting soldiers and horses in various parts of Shu.

Moreover, a few months ago, when Her Royal Highness the Princess of Shu came to the capital, she invited all the teachers in the world to teach in the academies in Shu.

At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess visited the great scholars in the capital one by one, but they all avoided her, so there was no news.

So everyone speculated that Her Royal Highness the Princess might not have given up yet, so she did this.

But just when many people thought that no one would dare to go to this literary gathering, news came out that not only would many great scholars go, but even many high-ranking officials in the court would go.

This made everyone even more puzzled.

The Shu Prince's Mansion, which is usually deserted, is bustling today. The door of the Shu Prince's Mansion is open and many people are waiting at the door.

There were many who came just to join in the fun, but unfortunately they couldn't get in and could only watch from outside.

There are many distinguished people and famous young talents in the capital participating today, so it would be worth taking a look at them.

Moreover, there is a peripheral banquet today, so these people come here to grab a seat. After all, they don't know if there will be any interesting things today, just like what happened in the Imperial College before.

Zhou Bu'an was still dressed in purple, still holding the round fan in his hand, and had more rouge on his body than the women.

When getting off the carriage, many women at the door looked at Zhou An'an with blushing faces. Regardless of his background, talent, and appearance, Zhou An'an could be regarded as a real rich son-in-law in the eyes of the women in the capital.

Even the elders from the official families were looking at Zhou An'an with eager eyes, but fortunately, Mrs. Zhou had always refused and did not urge Zhou An'an to do anything.

And this time when Zhou Yuanrang came back, many people blamed him.

Zhou Yuanrang was polite, after all, he was talking to a scholar, and he just smiled and said, "My son is too ugly and not worthy of your daughter."

With just one sentence, many people were too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Yuanrang.

Zhou Bu'an seemed to be in some thoughts and looked much more hesitant than usual. After getting off the carriage, he walked straight into the palace.

But it was just like this that made many girls bite their lips and stare at Zhou An'an, and some girls even called him "Brother An'an~~~"

This made some men on the side jealous, but they could do nothing about it.

just
Some people looked at Zhou An'an's gloomy back without any fear and started to discuss directly: "I heard that Zhou An'an was refused by the commander to take him to the northern border. No matter how much Zhou An'an begged, the commander would not take him."

When Zong Ze selected people to take to the northern border, the news had already spread in the capital.

Therefore, some of the gossips here naturally became known to others.

The person who spoke was a man, who appeared to be a scholar. He was standing at the gate of the palace. He and his companions came here specifically to grab a seat at the banquet.

He had three companions, all of whom looked like scholars.

Upon hearing this, one of the thin men immediately laughed and whispered, "What's the point of taking him there? The commander is taking young talents to the barracks to train them. I heard that they will directly let them join the army. What can Zhou An'an do in this state?"

"It is said that Zhou An'an had a quarrel with General Zhou, and he even cried in the end. He was so effeminate. How could a man cry in front of his father, let alone in front of General Zhou?"

Another person laughed at him and said, "Why did you go to the military camp? To get rouge? You smell rouge all over your body. You smelled it when you walked past us."

Someone chuckled, then whispered something, which made the others laugh again.

But then, everyone felt something and looked around, and found that the people around them were full of contempt, and the woman even had an angry expression on her face.

Seeing that the situation was not good, several people hurriedly lowered their heads and left.

After they got out of the crowd, they turned around to look at those people who were still staring at them. After looking at each other, they changed places again and stopped at a tavern in the distance.

But gossip happens everywhere, not just among them.

Especially people like Zhou Bu'nan, there are many people who like him, and countless people like his poems, but there are also many people who hate and envy him.

And right where the tavern was, several scholars were also chatting about Zhou An'an.

The words weren't so unpleasant, but there was still a hint of mockery.

After hearing this, several people who had escaped earlier turned around. Someone said, "Stop talking because many people over there were very angry," so he simply told them what had just happened.

But after hearing this, a scholar in the tavern stood up and said: "If you dare to do it, you should not be afraid of what others say. Why, who doesn't want others to say it?"

Seeing this man was so aggressive, those people hurried to try to dissuade him.

But this time, they met each other too late.

At this time, someone with good eyesight saw a particularly heroic woman from a distance and immediately said, "That must be Qi Pei, the fourth young lady of the Qi family."

Hearing this, everyone looked over, and one of them immediately said, "It's not just the Fourth Miss of the Qi Family, that's Master Gu and Gu Chiyu, but who are those two very handsome guys next to them?"

"No matter who she is, the fourth young lady of the Qi family is really beautiful."

"Brother Wu, be careful with your words. That's Miss Qi."

"Brother Zhang, are you being sarcastic? The Qi family? Is the Qi family still the same Qi family as before?"

When everyone heard this, they laughed.

One of them immediately spoke up: "I heard that the Qi family paid a lot to survive. Moreover, Qi Qi and Qi Pei, the former is appreciated by His Majesty because of his talent, but the latter is strange. Not only has he done nothing, he even entered the Shen Ce Mansion as a lieutenant."

"Why? I bought it with money. Otherwise, how can the Qi family be like this now? Don't forget what the Zuo family has become now."

"I have to say, every time I mention the current situation of the Qi and Zuo families, I feel happy. And all those people who had connections with them have been dealt with, which makes me feel even more happy!"

"If they are not messed up, do we have a chance?"

Several people raised their glasses.

After drinking it all, another person spoke up: "Everyone, do you know about the incident between Master Gu and Yan Shu?"

Upon hearing this, several people immediately became curious and looked at the person who spoke.

The man immediately said, "I heard that Master Gu."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the people around him immediately became interested.

However, several strong men came up to them, each with a sword hanging on his waist. The leader said, "Everyone!"

He clasped his fists while speaking.

Several scholars looked at these people, and everyone showed some fear on their faces.

The leader said, "You guys like to gossip, and you've got my eldest sister to blame, so let's go over there and talk."

Several scholars were stunned for a moment and did not understand what was said.

But they didn't have time to think about it. They saw the men picked up the children one in each hand, covered their mouths with their hands, and took them away.

The people around were too stunned to say anything and just watched. However, these strong men were also kind. Before leaving, they gave the owner of the wine shop a small ingot of silver as the wine money for this table.

Although the tavern owner was happy about making so much money, he was also a little worried when he saw the strong men leaving.

Naturally, some people also went to report to the police.

But inside the tavern, a somewhat fat woman looked in that direction with a disappointed look on her face, muttering, "I haven't heard the whole story yet, what happened between Master Gu and Yan Shu?"

Sitting directly opposite the woman was a thin man. The man glared at the woman and said, "Go over and ask her."

The woman smiled helplessly, but then asked in a low voice: "Ghostwriter?"

The man nodded.

The woman did not ask too many questions, mainly because there were too many people and it would be inappropriate to ask too many questions, so she decided to wait until she returned to the palace.

The woman was naturally Su Changan, but she had disguised herself to look wealthy as she is now. Especially the heavy door on her chest was probably stuffed with something.

Xia Fengxiang was naturally dressed as a man, but he also did some disguise on his face.

The two of them now look like a wealthy businessman couple.

Xia Fengxiang saw that Su Changan was shy and said with a smile, "You know about Qi Pei's affairs, so it's okay to talk about it."

Hearing this, Su Changan immediately became serious: "What do I know? I know nothing. I don't even know Qi Pei!"

As he spoke, the place on Su Changan's chest where a lot of things were stuffed shook, and Xia Fengxiang couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

When changing their appearance, Xia Fengxiang saw that Maomao had turned Su Changan into a fat woman and he felt that something was missing.

Upon hearing this, Maomao looked around and immediately understood, then found a lot of cotton and other things. Aunt Sun, Xunxia and others watched from the side, smiling bitterly and not knowing what to say.

Because His Majesty was watching and trying not to laugh.

The queen looked bitter.

As for why he mentioned Qi Pei, Su Changan had this attitude.

It was also because Su Changan said "That tattoo is nice" after saving Qi Pei in Guangling, and then "She is also very good-looking."

Then Xia Fengxiang remembered it and would say something sarcastic whenever he mentioned Qi Pei.

Su Changan really couldn't stand it anymore.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and smiled, then said, "Let's go in. There are quite a few people in there. We shouldn't be noticed if we go in now."

There are too many smart people here today. Although Xia Tingyu invited many people, it is inevitable that they will be carefully observed and thought about.

Especially Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, there are many precedents.

So today Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan deliberately did not bring Maomao, Yan Ruyu, Ku Yue, She Yue and others.

Let them go if they want to participate.

Therefore, when you arrive, just wait here and go in when there are more people.

When the two left, the tavern owner looked at the backs, then looked at the "fat woman's" back, then looked at the man next to him who was as thin as a stick, shaking his head, looking at his big butt shaking, wondering if this man could bear to be so thin?
It’s no wonder the boss thinks this way, it’s really because Maomao made Su Changan too plump.

So much so that people around me kept looking at me, but they weren't weird looks, after all, I was just a little fatter.

Moreover, after Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang disguised themselves, their clothes looked expensive, so even if someone wanted to gossip about them, they wouldn't dare to.

Just because you don’t know or have never seen someone doesn’t mean that they have no identity.

Su Changan curled his lips and said, "When we have time later, we can ask Yan Shu what happened between him and Mr. Gu."

Xia Fengxiang was too lazy to pay attention to Su Changan. He started again. It seemed that Su Changan didn't care much about those major events, but he was happy to listen to this kind of gossip!
Last time, there was a conflict and a fight among the palace maids, but it was not the Queen's turn, and her subordinates solved it.

But after Su Changan found out, he insisted on asking what happened and how the fight happened.

In Su Changan's own words, he loves to hear this kind of thing.

The Shu King's Palace is particularly grand today, and the servants in the palace are busy.

At this moment, sitting at the front of the hall were Su Wenqing, Mu Xu, and Yang Shanchang.

Not to mention Yang Shanchang, even Yang Guofu was present today.

But the one-eyed fat man no longer had his former arrogance. He sat quietly in his seat without saying a word.

But the strange thing is here.
Next to Mu Xu, Su Wenqing and Yang Shanchang were looking at the piece of paper in front of Mu Xu with sharp eyes.

There were also many people surrounding him, all of them were great scholars or high-ranking officials in the court.

Even Master Gu, who had just come in, was among them.

This scene not only made many people curious, because they could see clearly that these old gentlemen who were going to pay respects to the Grand Tutor, the Chief Priest and the Grand Preceptor suddenly stayed there, and then more and more of them came.

Even the people from the Western Regions who were specially invited by Xia Tingyu today were curious.

Among these people from the Western Regions were some of the old scholars who had debated with Xun Kuang and Master Zhao that day.

Although he is a Zoroastrian here, there is no suspicion on him.

One of the old scholars even had medicine on his face because he had knocked down a naturally crazy cultist in order to save someone that day.

"Everyone, can't you think of it?" Mu Xu looked up at those pairs of eyes and asked.

Everyone shook their heads but still looked at the paper.

The content on the paper was naturally the "Spring River Moon Night" that Su Changan wrote to Xun Kuang that day.

It was also because of this piece of paper that Mu Xu looked particularly haggard and had particularly dark circles under his eyes.

"Since it was written by the Empress, we..." an old man spoke.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xu immediately shook his head: "I can't find it, I can't find it."

Then he pointed at the paper and said, "This thing is the result of looking for the queen. It has tortured me for the past two days~~~"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but finally looked at the contents on the paper.

When Mu Xu first saw them, he said, "Stop the formalities and go through all that nonsense. Take a look at this poem. Can you think of the context?"

You don’t know until you see it. Once you see it, everyone will be shocked. Just the poetry in the middle is amazing.

Su Wenqing sat back in his seat and said with a smile, "You deserve it."

Mu Xu glanced at Su Wenqing and cursed him as a shameless old man!
Su Linhan, Cui Yuer and others were still gathered together, but there were more servants because Gu Chiyu brought Qi Pei, as well as Liu Baishi and Qu Youwei who were dressed as men, and the three little disciples of Master Gu, Di Renjie.

Su Wan'er sat at the very outside, looking around bored. She used to be curious about what literary gatherings were like, but after attending so many times, it seemed like they were just like that.

Mainly because my eldest sister is not here.

Why.
The literary gathering seems boring when my elder sister is not around. It would be great if she were here.

Just as Su Wan'er was thinking this.
"Little girl, is anyone sitting here?"
