Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 246 Surprise
The leader should be the captain, who first held up his hands and said:
"Congratulations on the return of the Imperial Master."

"His Majesty has some rewards for you now. Her Royal Highness the Queen and Princess Wu personally delivered them to you."

Hey, this is so shameless. Not to mention what the reward was, let’s just say that it was given to me personally by Empress Changsun. This is probably the only one in the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Shouwei was still quite moved. He didn't ask for any reward. He said "Hard work" to the Qianniu Guards and went up the mountain.

At this time, the temperature around Chang'an was already below zero. Although it could not be compared with Liaocheng, there were only very few people on both sides of the mountain roads and hillsides.

Most of them were old farmers who came to loosen the soil, obviously to prepare for planting potatoes next year.

After they saw Yuan Shouwei, they all greeted him from afar. Yuan Shouwei was a man without any airs, so he naturally returned the greetings one by one.

After arriving at the top of the mountain, they saw three or five palace maids standing in front of their vegetable gardens, looking nervous and slightly embarrassed as they watched a scribe hoeing and loosening the soil.

Where is Wu Fu?Where is the queen?Why can't I see anyone?
Yuan Shouwei couldn't help but be a little confused.

When the maids heard the footsteps, they turned around and saw that it was Yuan Shouwei. They obviously relaxed a lot, and saluted Yuan Shouwei one after another.

The clever one quickly took the scribe's hoe and said to him diligently:
"Your Highness, the Imperial Master is back."

When the scribe heard this, he turned around with a hoe. It was none other than Queen Changsun, who was disguised as a woman.

Just look at her wearing a round-collared robe with unfinished fur, a ruffled waist, black gauze covering her head in a high bun, and colorful thread shoes.

There is a bit of heroism in her dignity and beauty.

This is cosplay?

Don't tell me, this man is good-looking and looks good in whatever he wears. Yuan Shouwei thought curiously, and walked a few steps quickly to the eldest grandson, bowing his head and saying:

"Yuan Shouwei has met Her Royal Highness the Queen."

When the eldest grandson saw that it was Yuan Shouwei, a smile appeared on his red face and he said:

"The national teacher is back? Free from courtesy."

"Why are you coming back so soon? According to Zhao'er's algorithm, you should be back in three to five days."

"She also said she wanted to give you a surprise."

Yuan Shouwei also stood up and replied with a smile on his face:
"The journey home is like an arrow, so naturally I will come back sooner."

As he spoke, he curiously looked at Changsun's clothes and hoe.

Seeing him looking at his attire, the eldest grandson smiled slightly and said:
"Is the Imperial Master curious about my outfit? This is what Zhao'er prepared for me."

"I only wore it before I got married. Don't tell me, it's much neater than those palace clothes."

"As for this hoe, I see some old men are loosening the soil on the mountainside. They have nothing to do. I will help you sort it out, so as not to delay your potato planting after the Chinese New Year."

After hearing this, Yuan Shouwei couldn't help being awed. He has heard a lot about Empress Changsun's virtuous name in later generations.

But now that I see her participating in the farm work in person, and obviously not pretending, I naturally appreciate her more.

He spoke again:

"Your Highness, I'm back. Leave these rough jobs to me."

"It's cold and your bones are weak, you'd better go to the backyard to rest."

The eldest grandson shook his head repeatedly and said:
"National Master, I am in excellent health now, better than I was before I got sick. After all, I still want to worship the miraculous medicine Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill."

"The imperial doctor also said that I have recovered a long time ago and asked me to move around more. It just so happens that the reward given to you by Your Majesty has arrived today, so I will come with Wu Fu to have a look."

"Oh, you are just talking to me. Wu Fu is still busy behind you. You can go take a look and don't worry about me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Wu Fu's voice:

"Yuan Shouwei, you're back? Why so fast?" Hearing this pleasant voice, Yuan Shouwei felt infinite joy in his heart, and turned his head to look at Wu Yan.

She was dressed the same as Empress Changsun, except for a colorful belt hanging from her waist, which was tied with a leather bag, a syringe, a meat-cutting knife, etc. It was obvious that a little woman had put a lot of thought into it.

She looked at Yuan Shouwei with a flushed face, and her eyes exuded the joy of reunion after a long absence. She stood there happily, feeling a little at a loss for a while.

When he saw Yuan Shouwei looking at him, he also jumped for joy, and threw himself into Yuan Shouwei's arms. Halfway through, he suddenly felt that it was not etiquette to do so in public, so he stopped again, showing his coquettishness.

Seeing this, Yuan Shouwei hurriedly took two steps forward, came to her, took one of her hands, looked at her pink face that was flushed with excitement, and said softly:

"I'm back. I came back quickly because I missed you so much."

Wu Fu felt the warmth of Yuan Shouwei's hand, lowered his head, and his voice came out like a mosquito:

"I miss you too."

Although he knew that it was inappropriate to be held by Yuan Shouwei in public, he did not break away. Instead, he naughtily scratched Yuan Shouwei's palm a few times.

Changsun, who was caught off guard and had a handful of dog food thrown at him, looked at the sweet two and suddenly remembered that he and Li Shimin's youthful days were so sweet at the time.

She smiled and looked at the two of them for a while, then reminded:

"Zhao'er, didn't you say you wanted to surprise Yuan Shouwei?"

Wu Fu suddenly realized it and said repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, Yuan Shouwei. Let's go, I'll take you to the back."

"Guess what will happen next?"

When he spoke, his eyes were full of playfulness.

Yuan Shouwei was also curious, so he confessed to his eldest grandson and walked back hand in hand with Wu Fu.

When I arrived at the backyard, I couldn't help being surprised, and saw a row of houses suddenly appearing on the open space in the backyard.

They are a house with three entrances and three exits, a kitchen, a warehouse, a mill pile, a firewood house, and a toilet.
Everything has been built, and a group of people are busy coming in and out.

Compared with his previous house, it was definitely a shotgun replaced by a cannon, and a hut transformed into a mansion.

"What is this for?"

Yuan Shouwei thought there would be changes in his family, but he did not expect such drastic changes.

Wu Fu looked at Yuan Shouwei's surprised expression and looked enjoying it. He stuck out his tongue and said:

"This is all rewarded to you by His Majesty."

"His Majesty said it himself. He said that you have been granted the title of Imperial Master and there is no reward left, so he decided to play the emotional card on you."

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of paper with some difficulty with one hand, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"The imperial edict has arrived, and Yuan Shou, the Marquis of Huayin County and the National Preceptor, will receive it."

Yuan Shouwei watched her take out a note from her arms and couldn't help but smile:
"Zhao'er, don't use this to trick me."

"The crime of counterfeiting an imperial edict is not a small one, right?"

Wu Fu rolled his eyes, looked at Yuan Shouwei with contempt and said:
"You are ignorant, aren't you? There are several types of imperial edicts, among which the 'Book Making' and the 'Edict Book' are used for important matters."

"There is another type called 'Edict', which is used for government affairs and trivial matters. The last type is yours, handwritten by His Majesty and has not been reviewed by the prime minister."

"Your Majesty means you are not an outsider. Other imperial edicts are quite expensive, so I just wrote you a small note, but the reward is not ambiguous at all."
