Su Changan frowned, bowed, and walked straight up.
Coming to the Queen Mother, Su Changan bowed again: "The force may be a bit too strong, please forgive me, Queen Mother."
"Hmm." The Queen Mother said softly and straightened her back.
And Su Changan looked at the back of the empress dowager's neck.
One to say one
If I put a little more strength into it, it seems I could kill the queen mother directly.
But
Can you do it?
Thinking of this, Su Changan began to massage the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother made a comfortable sound: "Hmm~~~ It is indeed more comfortable than Xiang Hong's massage, and the strength is just right and not too strong. But how is your sword training with Yan Ruyu going? Hmm~~~"
Su Changan replied: "I have just started learning, so I can't say how good I am. I am just fooling around."
The Queen Mother frowned, "Why? Did Yan Ruyu not teach well? That child has been unintelligent since childhood. Fortunately, he is gifted in martial arts. Otherwise, he would be beaten and scolded every day if he did other things. However, my maid also knows some martial arts. Although not as good as Yan Ruyu, she also has the skills of the sixth rank. She is more than enough to teach others. Why not let her teach you?"
Su Changan glanced at Xiang Hong and found that Xiang Hong was standing about three steps away from him, which was clearly the best distance for attacking.
I suddenly realized that this was a precaution against me!
So he said: "It's not that Commander Yan didn't teach well, it's that I'm too stupid and can never learn."
The Queen Mother asked with a smile: "Are you so stupid as to casually take the first prize of the Early Winter Poetry Competition, and suppress those talented men and women with the poem "Spring Night" so that they dare not write any poems?"
Su Changan nodded: "That's because everyone is giving in to me."
The Queen Mother laughed, then looked at Su Changan carefully and said, "Has anyone ever told you that you are very lovable at first sight?"
Su Changan nodded again: "Everyone says so."
The Queen Mother sat up and said, "You are so shameless. No wonder you can write so many poems about beauties. But it doesn't matter. Looking at your expression, I was thinking of asking you to perform a knife trick for me. It seems that you are unwilling to do so, right?"
Hearing this, Su Changan immediately smiled and said, "I am a little reluctant. After all, I haven't even mastered the walking stakes yet, so I don't dare to play with the knife."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "If you don't want to, then don't. I'm just a little curious about how far you have learned."
Talking.
The Queen Mother turned around gently, stopped Su Changan from massaging her, and stood up.
Su Changan took a step back.
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen Mother who was one step closer to her and said: "Look closer, it's really beautiful, everything about it is beautiful. But... you are so greedy, how come you don't look fat at all."
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "Let me see, what have you prepared for His Majesty?"
Su Changan immediately said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. If you want to see it, just open it and take a look. As for what was made, it was boiled chicken, lotus root soup, and some food that I made myself."
After hearing what Su Changan said, the empress dowager, who was about to open the food box after walking down the stairs, paused. Xiang Hong on the side also looked at Su Changan with a frown.
Then, the Queen Mother immediately opened the lid with a smile, and opened the covered plate, and then saw the delicious white-cut chicken with a deep yellow color. She smiled and said, "It looks better than what the imperial chefs in the palace make, and it smells good too. It seems that you have put in some effort. You are really good to His Majesty."
As she spoke, she opened the other two lids and saw that the dishes inside were all very time-consuming. She turned to look at Su Changan and asked, "She is so pretty, and she is such a good cook. She also knows medicine and writes good poems. Is she really a village girl?"
As she spoke, the Queen Mother stood up and looked at Su Changan.
At this time, Xianghong walked forward, closed the box again, and took the food box aside.
At this time, Su Changan had already walked down from the main seat steps and stood next to the food box, preventing the delicious food he made for the empress from being snatched away by the empress dowager!
But looking at Xianghong, she seemed a little helpless and frowned slightly. He didn't know why, but thought that she was tempted by the dishes he cooked.
After all, he was watching me in the car when I came here!
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, he immediately said, "Yes."
At this time, a maid's voice came in: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Sun is outside the palace gate asking to see you."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Your Majesty is anxious. Let Sun Shanggong come in quickly."
Immediately, a female official in purple came in, walked straight to Su Changan, saluted to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, His Majesty said that Miss Changan has been here long enough, and it's time to go see her."
The Queen Mother sneered: "Are you so scared? I won't do anything."
Then, the Queen Mother looked at Su Changan and said, "Well, there is a long way to go. We will meet each other many times in the future. There is no need to rush now, otherwise I would like to share this dish with you. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that the date of your wedding with His Majesty was supposed to be announced to the world a week later, and then preparations for the wedding should begin. However, I have been feeling unwell recently, and I asked someone from the Imperial History Bureau to take a look. They said it is not appropriate to play around, so I am afraid that your wedding with His Majesty will have to be postponed for some time. I have already told His Majesty about this."
"However, it's not good to stay outside like this, so you should move into the palace first after a few days. His Majesty originally wanted you to live in Shoukang Palace, but that place was originally where the late Empress lived, and you don't have the status to live there now, so it's not in accordance with etiquette. So... I'll have someone clean up Lingqi Pavilion for you, and you can move in there first after a few days. When the wedding is over and you are officially canonized, you can move into Shoukang Palace."
At this point, the Queen Mother looked at Lady Sun and said, "Lady Sun, what do you think?"
Sun Shang Gong bowed and said: "The Queen Mother has thought it through, so this is the best solution."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Then go ahead, don't keep Your Majesty waiting for too long."
Sun Shang Gong immediately saluted.
Su Changan naturally bowed as well and followed Sun Shanggong out.
Although we only talked for a few minutes,
how to say
Su Changan felt that this queen mother was pretty, but she was...
Crazy feeling??
However, just as Su Changan and Sun Shanggong had walked a few steps, the Queen Mother suddenly said, "I almost forgot again. I have prepared a gift for you."
After saying that, the Queen Mother glanced at the box on the small table next to the main seat.
Xiang Hong understood and quickly picked it up and walked towards Su Changan.
The Queen Mother said, "This is the hairpin that your Majesty's mother, the late Queen, gave me in the past. Today I saw that you were very interesting, and I thought that if the late Queen saw you, she would definitely like you very much, so I will give this hairpin to you."
Su Changan took the small brocade box and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Su Changan bowed again and left with Sun Shanggong.
The Queen Mother stood on the steps below the main seat with a smile on her face, watching Su Chang'an and Sun Shang Gong walk out of the hall.
A moment later
Snapped!
But Xiang Hong knelt down directly in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, I have failed in my duty. I should take care of the food."
But when Xianghong said this, the Queen Mother said lightly: "Get up, I don't blame you."
Xianghong heard this, pursed her lips, and stood up carefully.
The Queen Mother continued, "Tell me, did she do it on purpose or unintentionally?"
Xiang Hong replied: "I don't know."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It seems like it was unintentional, but the first time I saw the child, it reminded me of the late Queen, and it made me sick! But she also gave Your Majesty the late Queen's favorite boiled chicken! If you say it's a coincidence, this is really a coincidence. And she brought it to me. Forget it, I want to see it myself."
Xianghong bowed her head respectfully, not daring to say a word.
The Queen Mother didn't seem angry. "I'm not a petty person. She's been dead for many years. I don't hate her anymore. These things don't matter. But that child is an interesting person. He is so afraid of death, but he always comes out to defend me when I talk about Your Majesty. We have an agreement."
Xianghong still lowered her head and dared not say anything more.
The Queen Mother smiled and turned to the main seat. "She does look very pretty, but I feel that she doesn't have much femininity, not like a woman, and certainly not the elegance of a scholarly woman. She is just a smart and refined person who needs to be kept under my eyes. She said some nonsense like the sky is not old and the love is not dead, and she seems a little childish. But you tell me, why doesn't she cry? She is about to enter the palace, she should cry, is it because she knows that His Majesty likes her? Or is she happy to see His Majesty? I really want to see her cry, with that kind of face, if she cries, I don't know how pitiful she would be."
Xianghong lowered her head, not daring to even look at the Empress Dowager at this moment.
Chapter 44: Empress: It’s no use even if you scream your throat out!
Before walking out of Xingqing Palace, Sun Shang Gong didn't say a word, but just left quickly with Su Changan and the others.
After leaving Xingqing Palace, Shang Gong Sun looked at Su Changan and said, "Did Miss Changan say anything to the Queen Mother? She was so angry."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, thinking about the way the Queen Mother smiled just now. He realized that this Palace Lady could actually see that he had made the Queen Mother angry.
So he looked at Yan Ruyu beside him, and after Yan Ruyu nodded, he picked out some important things to say.
Upon hearing this, Su Changan defended His Majesty, especially after hearing about the boiled chicken incident.
The Shang Gong Sun was delighted and liked Su Changan very much, but she also said with a look of relief: "That person's temperament has become more and more different from ordinary people over the years. He is a man who kills people without hesitation. Because he has masters who are as powerful as the commander of Yan and obeys his orders, and he also has some military power, he is not afraid of others. In the future, when you enter the palace, you must not have too much contact with him unless it is necessary. I will help you block all those who can be blocked. If I can't block them, His Majesty will help you."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir Shang Gong means that the Queen Mother might have killed me regardless of everything just now?"
Sun Shang Gong nodded and said, "Your Majesty sent General Yan to keep an eye on the old eunuch we saw when we came out, so she couldn't succeed. And she didn't have this idea today, otherwise she wouldn't let us leave so easily. I specifically told you these words, Miss Chang'an, don't think too much. But the Queen Mother's temperament is really unpredictable now. If she really has a mad attack and is determined to see Your Majesty sad, she can do that kind of thing. So, you must not come to Xingqing Palace if you can. She likes to see the people around her sad and in pain the most."
Hearing this, Su Changan looked back at Xingqing Palace.
Thinking of the appearance of the Empress Dowager, I felt that my feeling was right. The Empress Dowager had mental problems.
After all, this is a hobby.
Either he is mentally ill or he is a lunatic.
However, Su Changan smiled and said, "After all, I was thinking about what His Majesty said, so I said a few words back. But the matter of boiled chicken was a misunderstanding."
Sun Shang Gong smiled and said, "The matter of boiled chicken can only be regarded as a little related. It is because that person is narrow-minded. His Majesty will tell you about it later. But Miss Chang'an does not need to worry. The expert beside her is not so easy to move. The commander of Yan is watching. She also knows about this matter, so she will not move easily."
After that, Shang Gong Sun continued, "Miss Chang'an, you don't need to call me Shang Gong Lady in the future. Your Majesty calls me Aunt, and you can call me Aunt too."
As she spoke, Sun Shang Gong took the opportunity to look at Su Chang An carefully.
He has a slender figure, wearing white clothes inside and black clothes outside, with picturesque dark eyebrows, peach blossom eyes and phoenix eyes. He is so handsome that he does not seem like an ordinary person.
And it looks very pleasing.
Especially after hearing what he had just said in defense of His Majesty, she felt that Su Changan was even more annoying.
just
It seems that compared to when she was at Shangshiju, she is taller and more elegant.
But it’s better to be taller. Your Majesty is tall, and as a queen, you can’t be too short.
It's a good thing to have good temperament, because you will be the mother of the country in the future!
