Otherwise it would be a bit suffocating.
The empress looked at Su Changan and said with a smile, "I'll give you whatever you want, but I won't leave you any money. So don't be angry. Besides, if your rouge shop is run according to my wishes, the money you earn can help me."
Su Changan was helpless. In this life, he was really in the hands of this woman.
But while thinking this, he picked up a fried dumpling and gave it to the empress, then said: "If that shop can be run, we can directly expand it to other places and make it nationwide. By then, we will make a lot more money."
Hearing this, the empress looked at Su Changan and thought about it. This is true, especially rouge is a highly profitable business, it is quite profitable, but
The empress glared at Su Changan, "I told you not to think about these things, but you're still thinking about them all day long, especially the little thing you asked Su Liheng to make for you. Although I didn't understand it, you must be thinking of helping me. Yan Ruyu told me that you've been drawing strange drawings since you went to the Su Mansion. Is this related to this? I thought you were just playing before, but now that you asked Su Liheng to make it secretly and didn't let Yan Ruyu know, I know you're up to something bad again, right?"
Su Changan pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little distressed.
It's not that Yan Ruyu told the empress all of this, or that the empress knew that she had asked Su Liheng to make small parts.
But the more cheerful and sunny the empress was, the more distressed he felt.
But before Su Changan could say anything, the empress seemed to have seen through him and immediately snorted coldly: "Who are you? I want you to feel sorry for me! I want you to help me!"
then
Chapter 68 The world is alive and happy
The empress lifted Su Changan's chin with one hand, and then said very seriously: "You are mine, just enjoy yourself. If I can't even protect you, what kind of empress would I be. And you have helped me a lot. It's just that you saved Li Xingyue. I won't tell you the details, so as to avoid you from thinking too much. But although I don't know what you drew, you have drawn it. After we finish eating, I have time, so I'll just take a look at what they are."
Upon hearing this, Su Changan looked at the empress, blinked, and a smile appeared on his face.
The empress blushed and turned her head away, but she was so angry that she stepped on Su Changan's instep, "What are you looking at?!"
Su Changan cried out in pain.
Yan Ruyu, who was standing at the door, turned around after hearing it, and through the gap in the beaded curtain, she saw the empress twisting Su Changan's ears.
Then the empress looked at the lamb chops in her other hand.
After smiling happily, his expression turned cold again and he looked at Diao Yun and the palace maids sent by the Queen Mother.
just
Yan Ruyu discovered it just now.
These palace maids, including Diao Yun, were not only a little shy but also seemed to be enduring something, which looked a bit strange.
But Yan Ruyu didn't say anything.
Others such as Zhou Qianhong and other members of the Chixia Army, as well as the palace maid Xunxia, also noticed that something was wrong with those people, but none of them said anything.
After all, I know what's going on.
And
Xunxia was okay as she was older, but the other palace maids were a little scared when they saw Mao Mao pinch off a gecko's tail and then hold the tail with great joy.
I also have no time to think about why those people are so shy.
At the dinner table, the empress's embarrassment disappeared, and naturally she stopped bullying Su Changan.
Su Changan sighed, helped the empress scoop a bowl of fermented glutinous rice soup, and then said: "You have to change your habit of hitting people at every turn. What if I learn martial arts and fight back and knock you to the ground?"
The empress heard this and burst out laughing: "You threw him to the ground with a snap. You're learning a sword. Aunt Yan said you looked smart, but how come Ruyu is so stupid? You've broken so many wooden swords in these few days. You're learning martial arts and fighting back. Don't you think you're just bragging? And you're learning martial arts to beat me?"
Su Changan said simply: "That's not the case. I was thinking of protecting you."
But after he had said that, he remembered that it was not allowed to say this to the Empress, so he thought of changing his words.
But he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the empress drinking the soup with some satisfaction.
The empress, who had just covered her somewhat shy expression with a bowl, pretended to drink a mouthful of beef fermented glutinous rice soup, and then pretended to be calm and said, "Anyway, go ahead and learn it. When Aunt Yan gets angry one day, she might give you a good beating. When Aunt Yan gets angry, she dares to scold my father, and I can't stop her."
But after she finished speaking, the empress glanced at the door and said, "There will be plenty of time to talk about these things later. When I came in, I saw those palace maids. That Diao Yun is indeed the empress dowager's man, and so are those palace maids. Don't worry about this matter. Put everything away in the next few days. Who knows, those people may have ulterior motives. I have already talked to my aunt. I will find a reason to get rid of them all in a few days. Then I will send more Chixia soldiers to prevent the empress dowager from sending people in."
Su Changan heard this and immediately whispered: "Actually, I..."
But before Su Changan finished speaking!
At the door, all the palace maids sent by the Queen Mother ran through the gate in unison.
The empress looked up and frowned.
Yan Ruyu turned around and clasped her fists, saying loudly, "Your Majesty, Diao Nu sent them to the toilet because they were in a hurry."
The empress was stunned. If it was just one or two people, she would think it was normal, after all, it was human nature.
But that was all just now, right?
And it wasn't just the empress who looked stunned.
Zhou Qianhong and other members of the Chixia Army, as well as Xun Xia and the palace maids who came with the empress, who were standing at the door, looked at each other in confusion.
They noticed that something was wrong with Diao Yun and the others just now.
Even some palace maids were very anxious.
And as time went by, some people in the Chixia Army even heard the sound of farting.
Then, Diao Yun and others ran towards the toilet without saying anything.
Especially now they are all gone at once!
How could they not be shocked?
but
At the door, the cat was holding the gecko's tail in his hand, and looked a little unhappy.
Since this flush to the toilet was later than she expected, this meant that there was something wrong with the medicine she prepared.
So, the cat is depressed.
The empress frowned, thinking of something, and looked down at Su Changan: "You"
Originally, the empress wanted to ask Su Changan, are you okay?
But seeing Su Changan's expression, he changed the topic and asked, "Did you do this?"
Su Changan nodded and told the empress about it.
Upon hearing this, the empress suppressed her laughter and scolded, "You deserve to be remembered by the empress dowager like that. Look at what you have done!"
But after saying that, the empress looked at the dishes on the table again and glared at Su Changan: "And I'm still eating! How can I eat it!"
Su Changan complained: "I can't control time either."
The empress snorted, stood up and said, "I can't even eat anymore, but it doesn't matter. Let's go and check your things."
talking
He took Su Changan's hand and walked towards the study.
Su Changan looked at the hand that was holding his, thought for a moment, and then clenched his hand with his backhand. The empress felt it, and after looking down, she glared at Su Changan embarrassedly.
but
But also clenched.
Two people, holding hands.
The empress blushed, pouted her lips, and stole a glance at Su Changan.
I held my hands a little tighter, as if to say that I would never let you leave my side again.
Su Changan felt the Empress exerting force, looked down at her interlocked hands, and thought
It's just holding hands, why are you doing it so hard?
On the wooden corridor
"Two women" walked side by side holding hands.
The "woman" with a better-looking face looked confused, but let herself be manipulated.
The other woman, dressed in a dragon robe, had a slightly red face and looked very happy. She clenched her hands tightly and had no intention of letting go.
The world seemed to come alive at this moment, with a hint of sweetness.
but
Finally, I arrived at the study.
The empress let go of his hand reluctantly, but she also felt relieved. After all, the empress was the empress after all, and she couldn't be shy forever.
Su Changan had already arranged everything in the study, which was almost the same as the ones he had arranged in the study in the Su Mansion.
The only difference is that this study is bigger and contains more books.
The first thing the empress saw was Su Changan's bamboo basket filled with waste paper: "You sold this kind of garbage for several thousand taels?"
However, after she finished speaking, the empress seemed to realize that her words were somewhat disrespectful to those who liked Su Changan's writing, so she changed her words and said, "Wen Mo."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, "These are probably not valuable. There are no poems in them. They are just scraps of the drawings I drew before. Maomao said it would be a pity to throw them away because they are all money, so she insisted on taking them with her. And she thinks these papers are good, so she often uses the ones I throw away to wrap medicinal herbs."
The empress picked it up casually and looked at the ugly words on it: "Only Xia Zhixu would be so foolish as to spend several thousand taels to buy the writing materials you no longer want."
Su Changan smiled helplessly.
The empress continued, "But I am very satisfied with your attitude towards Xia Zhixu, so I praise you. That man has liked to snatch things from me since he was a child. Because I am his elder sister, I always give in to him, but he is never satisfied and keeps asking for more. I beat him up a lot. So next time he comes to you for poems or something, just beat him up. But it is best to name a price directly. If you name a price and it gets out, it will tarnish your literary reputation, so it is better to just give him a beating. Let Yan Ruyu do it, she hits hard."
After listening to this, Su Changan smiled helplessly and said, "I wanted Zhou Qianhong to do it, but she said she couldn't do it, so I didn't do it. I ignored him and just left."
The empress smiled and said, "That's right. But we can start fighting soon. His father is about to go back. I will deal with him easily after my eighth uncle leaves."
Su Changan nodded immediately: "Okay, next time we meet, I'll kick you to vent your anger."
The empress smiled even more happily.
Su Changan also spread out on the table the things he had drawn based on his memory.
However, the empress was not in a hurry to look at it. She just picked up the copybook sent by Yuan Ruxi and looked at it. Then she looked at the copybook of Wang Dajia from the previous dynasty sent by Master Yao, as well as the ink painting and copybook sent by Xun Kuang and Mr. Shuiyun. Then she looked at Su Changan with resentment: "So many people gave you copybooks, but your handwriting is still so ugly. It's a shame for their kindness."
Su Changan was helpless: "I have practiced, but I don't have the talent."
The empress immediately said sarcastically, "Yes, I practiced. Every day, I would write two words and then say the pen was too heavy and I was tired!"
