I think this was also carefully arranged by Su Liushi.
After selecting some small gifts suitable for the Chixia Army soldiers from the things that Su Zifeng had arranged for the palace servants to thank them for their help,
Of course, Su Changan also selected some jewelry and gave some to the four palace maids brought by Sun Shanggong.
As for the arrangements made by the Queen Mother, he ignored them and just gave a simple verbal thanks.
That's what the narrow-minded Su Changan is like.
but
Su Changan did not eat dinner with Maomao and the others.
It wasn’t because Maomao was going to drug the palace maids, but because the empress sent someone to deliver a letter.
'Prepare something delicious and wait for me!'
To put it simply, Su Changan could only go to the small kitchen to cook.
The ingredients were brought to the imperial kitchen by the four palace maids who could cook, named Xunxia.
The cat went along too.
Before leaving, Maomao whispered to Su Changan, "It's done."
Su Changan understood what he meant.
He looked with some sympathy at the palace maids who had been following Diao Yun and her.
Sunset, dusk and dawn, the winter dusk is full of intricate threads.
And the empress finally arrived.
After entering the yard, Su Changan stood in the hall and looked at the empress who had a cold face and showed her majesty. She asked the palace maids to salute her just by stepping into the yard.
how to say
What a difference between her and that unreasonable empress!
But I don’t know if it’s because he just dealt with court affairs or what happened.
The empress was not wearing casual clothes, but a golden dragon robe. Although she didn't have her hair done up today, it was combed very neatly, with long straight black hair.
The courtyard was suddenly empty. Yan Ruyu stood at the gate, not letting anyone approach. The palace maids all stood outside the gate, waiting respectfully for orders.
Su Changan looked at the empress who walked into the hall, wondering whether he should salute her.
After all, this woman is really unreasonable. No matter what I do, she seems to be able to find something wrong with it.

Chapter 67 Empress: Take Out Your Private Money
as predicted!
The empress looked at Su Changan for a long time without any movement, and immediately said: "You don't even smile when you see me, you are unhappy, right?"
Good guy!
Su Changan thought that the empress would give him trouble over the issue of etiquette, but he didn't expect that he didn't think enough.
However, the Empress did not look at Su Changan anymore, but looked at the dishes on the table, showing a satisfied expression: "That's right."
He sat down on the stool, but seeing Su Changan standing on the side, he said, "Come and sit down, why are you standing?"
Su Changan pursed his lips and asked, "I'll sit down. You won't pick on me, scold me, or pinch me unreasonably again, will you?"
Upon hearing this, the empress immediately glared at Su Changan angrily.
Su Changan quickly sat next to the empress.
The empress looked at Su Changan and said, "I've made myself angry over there, and now you're going to make me angry again, right?"
Su Changan was speechless and really didn't know what to say, but looking at the empress like this, she was exactly the same as she was a few months ago.
At that time, he came here for no apparent reason and this happened, which made Su Changan speechless.
Especially at that time, only female emperors were considered men, so I wondered why this man was so effeminate!
But after thinking about it, Su Changan said, "Then eat more. If you eat too much, go to the toilet or something, and the anger will be gone."
Hearing this, the empress, who had just picked up the chopsticks to get the fried lamb chops, immediately looked at Su Changan. She was a little angry, but when she thought about how this person had been like this before, she felt angry and wanted to laugh all at once.
So he put down his chopsticks and cursed: "I just came into the palace and offended the Queen Mother, and now you want to make me so angry that I can't eat, right?"
Su Changan was helpless and said immediately: "Isn't this to help you calm down? This is called calming down anger with anger. I'm by your side. It's better for you to get angry with me and scold me than to get angry with the person over there."
Hearing this, the empress felt that this twisted logic seemed to make sense. She looked at Su Changan again and felt happy. It was the best that the people around her cared about her like this. However, she picked up the lamb chops that Su Changan passed to her and said, "Scolding you will make you even angrier. And bring it here."
As she spoke, the empress spread her hands towards Su Changan.
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, "What do you want to bring?"
After swallowing the mutton in her mouth, the empress said, "The contract you signed with your fourth brother, the rouge shop, and the hot pot restaurant you are going to open later. Oh, by the way, the hot pot restaurant seems to have not opened yet, right?"
Su Changan pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Qianhong who was guarding the door.
The empress licked the chili on her lips and found it delicious. She said, "It wasn't Zhou Qianhong who said that. I asked Yan Ruyu to ask her. Zhou Qianhong really believed your lies. What about you asking me to do something secretly, so no one can say anything? You are a person who can tell any lies when you have the chance. And you can still deceive people."
"I guessed it. Your fourth brother has been busy these days, either announcing the opening of the rouge shop or showing off the new rouge to the young ladies in the capital. He's so high-profile. The rouge has never been released before. And you got so many ingredients, how could I not guess it? As for the hot pot restaurant, he told others about it, so I know about it."
After listening, Su Changan reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, then silently helped the empress pick up a piece of spicy and sour pork tenderloin.
how to say
There is always a loophole!!
The store hasn't even opened yet, and he was caught!
The empress looked at Su Changan and continued, "Why are you just standing there? Also, give me the money your brother got from selling your unwanted garbage. I've always thought you can't have money on hand."
"As soon as you got rich, you opened a rouge shop. Forget about other shops, you opened a rouge shop. How come you haven't seduced enough women because of your poems? Are you planning to seduce more? I was right about you. Once you have money, you will spend it. So take it all out quickly. Don't keep a penny."
Su Changan looked at the empress: "The rouge shop makes money, isn't this what I'm thinking about making money for you? And I don't plan to keep the money on myself."
The empress drank a sip of the soup, which was fermented glutinous rice soup with some bananas added in, which tasted sour and sweet.
This made the empress drink two more sips before she said, "You want to make money? My money is not enough for you to spend? Hurry up and give it to me, but you can keep the shop. I asked someone to inquire about your rouge. Su Liheng's publicity is good. Many rich daughters are looking forward to it and are willing to pay a high price to buy the first batch of goods. If you do the math, it is indeed quite profitable. If you can open more shops, it will help me a lot over time."
Su Changan wanted to say something, but seeing the empress staring at him with a lamb chop in her mouth, he had to say, "Okay, who told you to get sesame seeds on the tip of your nose while eating a lamb chop?"
As he spoke, he turned and headed towards the study room which was located on the side of the hall.
Upon hearing this, the empress subconsciously touched the tip of her nose and found sesame seeds. After eating it in one bite, she glanced at Su Changan's reluctant back, felt proud for a moment, and then continued to eat the lamb chops.
My friend, your cooking is delicious. Although it is not as sophisticated as the imperial chef in some aspects, it tastes good. No wonder Yan Ruyu has gained weight.
but
I didn't look closely just now to see if she had gained weight again.
Thinking of this, the empress looked at Yan Ruyu who was standing at the door with her hand on the hilt of the knife hanging at her waist.
Hmm! I'll call him in later to take a closer look! What would it look like if he were a guard and got fatter?
However, it is normal to gain weight after eating so many delicious and sweet things every day.
never mind!
Don’t blame Yan Ruyu.
Anyway, I can eat it every day from now on!
While thinking this, the empress picked up a piece of spicy and sour pork tenderloin and ate it. It was crispy and tasted just right.
Then I picked up the fermented glutinous rice soup and took a sip. It was so delicious!
Putting down the bowl, the empress felt happy when she thought about coming here to eat after finishing her daily tasks.
Especially when he knew that Su Changan would be moving into the palace and living there today, his emotions suddenly burst out.
I just think it’s great.
But thinking like this
But he frowned and thought it would be nice if they could just live together.
When the Queen was thinking like this.
Su Changan came out with the contract and the silver note for his share of the profits, and put them on the table. He said, "That's all. But there's one thing I need to clarify with you. I'm not the kind of person who would go looking for women just because I have money. You said that our relationship is confirmed, but I'm still flirting with other women. Am I still a human being? Also, let's be honest. I think you can take the money, but you have to leave some for me. After all, it's only natural to give some money to the palace maids."
The empress glanced at the contract and the banknotes, and said while eating: "Then tell me what happened to Li Xingyue."
When Su Changan heard the words, it was very good, and just this one sentence put back everything he had just thought of, but he still said: "Let's be reasonable, that is to see a doctor."
The empress rolled her eyes, "Am I that unreasonable?"
Su Changan wanted to say, listen to what you are saying now, is this what a reasonable person should say?
But it hasn't been said yet.
The empress immediately said firmly: "That's right! I am such an unreasonable person! What can you do to me!"
Su Changan looked at the empress like this, sighed helplessly, sat on the stool, and helped the empress pick up a piece of braised tofu: "Eat, I have a headache."
The empress looked at Su Changan and suddenly laughed, full of childish pride, without any of the majesty of the empress when she first entered the courtyard.
Especially when she smiled, her features became even more beautiful, especially with a piece of lamb chop in her hand, she looked even cuter, "You talked so much, but in the end you didn't dare to resist a word I said!"
Then, the empress looked at Su Changan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't quarrel with you anymore. I will take the money, of course. You can't keep money on hand. This matter is non-negotiable! But I won't take away the small items that Su Zifeng specially prepared for you to reward the palace maids. You can keep them. Here, open your mouth, don't be angry, I'll feed you tofu."
talking
The empress picked up the tofu and brought it to Su Changan's mouth.
Su Changan opened his mouth slightly and ate the tofu.
But in my heart, I was still very depressed, thinking about how Su Liheng, this bastard, was discovered before he even started. Oh~~~
Write a letter to Su Zifeng and tell him to beat up Su Liheng.
