Hearing this, Su Changan looked at the empress in surprise.
Has this evolved to the point where he can just find fault with anything? ! ?
The empress finally couldn't hold back her laughter and laughed out loud, then said, "I'm not kidding you anymore. Li Jiulang came to see me in person after the court session today. Well, Li Xingyue will be working as a female official in the palace's Gongzheng Division in the future, so I'll see her often then. So I thought I'd have to see her sooner or later anyway, so I just agreed."
Su Changan frowned when he heard this.
He was not surprised that Li Xingyue wanted to come and thank him in person.
But Li Xingyue is going to work as a female official in the palace.
Isn't Li Jiulang afraid that the Queen Mother will continue to harm his daughter? It shouldn't be, or is there another reason?
While thinking this, Su Changan looked at the empress.
The power of the six bureaus and one department within the palace has actually been clearly defined long ago.
Among them, the Shanggong, Shangshi, Shangqinju and Gongzhengsi were all controlled by the empress.
As for other matters such as the Shangyi Bureau, the Shangfu Bureau, the Shanggong Bureau and some other aspects of the sleeping palace, they were under the control of the Empress Dowager.
Li Jiulang's daughter was employed by Gongzhengsi.
Suddenly, I realized.
The empress was so smart that she could tell what Su Changan was thinking. She immediately said, "I told you not to think about this, but you insisted on thinking about it, didn't you?"
Su Changan blinked and pretended to be innocent.
But the empress immediately said, "But it doesn't matter if I tell you this. After all, you helped me. To put it simply, Li Jiulang asked me to protect her daughter. As for the rest, don't ask. The more you know, the more you think. Practicing swords and calligraphy every day is enough to tire you out. Don't you want to think less and want to know less?"
Su Changan did not answer the empress's words, but after thinking for a while, he continued to shake his head: "No, it's just a small favor, not worth mentioning, take care, young lady."
Hearing this, the empress laughed again and cursed, "Look at how little you have achieved! Aunt Yan praised you so highly in front of me. Now you don't even dare to meet her, not to mention that she came to thank you for saving her life, it would be bad to refuse her. Will she become a female official in the palace and you will never see her again? That doesn't make sense."
Su Changan looked at the empress. He naturally understood this principle, but the problem was that you didn't reason with me.
The empress coughed and said generously: "Although you are always smooth-talking, and sometimes even do bad things to me, and occasionally don't listen to me like a stubborn donkey, but I believe in you, so it's okay for you to meet Li Xingyue."
Su Changan didn't hesitate at all when he heard this, and shook his head directly: "No!"
Chapter 76 He didn't think it was important. After all, who made him like her?
Su Changan didn't know what Empress An was thinking.
But she could see that the empress thought he should meet Li Xingyue in this matter.
But
Have you finished meeting?
What will you say later?
Did you mention Li Xingyue again?
There are tricks all over this!
The Empress's thousand tricks!
Therefore, Su Changan would not be fooled. Even though he understood the reason, considering whether he would be treated unreasonably in the future, he decided not to see her no matter what!
This attitude must first be shown to the Empress.
The empress looked at Su Changan and had no idea what was going on in this man's mind. She just felt like laughing.
But when I think about it carefully, I realize that I should tone down my past behavior.
I secretly reminded myself that even if I was being unreasonable in front of the person I liked, I couldn't go too far.
After all, mentioning Li Xingyue before was just a joke, but now it seems that this can no longer be done.
So, after thinking for a while, he said, "You can meet me. I won't say anything, and I won't say anything in the future."
Su Changan looked at the empress and felt that something had changed, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "No."
The empress glared at Su Changan, "You are not a good person, you are targeting me!"
After that, he frowned and said, "Don't say you didn't see me."
Su Changan looked at the empress, not knowing what to say, but after thinking for a moment he said, "Then let's meet?"
The empress nodded: "You rejected her this time. Next time you meet her in the palace or she comes to see you, you still won't see her? I've already told you that I won't say anything to you. Why are you still like this, wondering if I'm setting a trap for you or something, you..."
Speaking of here
The empress thought about how she had just warned herself, but she was beginning to forget it again, so she bit her lip and looked at Su Changan, saying softly, "Do I give you a lot of problems?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, but nodded the next moment: "Well, it's quite a lot. But who made me like you?"
The empress glared at Su Changan, but she was not angry. She nodded slightly and whispered softly, "I will change."
Speak in a low voice.
Su Changan didn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but ask, "What?"
The empress looked up at Su Changan, and became inexplicably angry. She kicked Su Changan under the table and said, "Eat!"
Su Changan was puzzled, but after thinking about it, he decided not to think about it, so he nodded: "Okay!"
While speaking, he helped to pick up the empress's favorite food.
Su Changan really didn't hear clearly what the empress said.
But he thought it didn't matter.
As for the Empress saying that she has many problems
Is it important?
He didn't think it mattered, after all, who made him like her?
……
After dinner and chatting for a while, the empress reluctantly left because she had government affairs to attend to.
During this time, he also told Su Changan that Li Xingyue would come tomorrow morning, so he was asked not to practice sword yet and to get up early.
Su Changan agreed.
However, the empress also said that this time she expressed her gratitude not out of consideration for Li Jiulang, but simply because she felt pity for Li Xingyue and so fulfilled her request.
Su Changan nodded and said nothing.
And just after the empress left
Su Changan sat in the corridor of the hall, supporting his body with his hands behind his back, looking at the starry sky, thinking about what to do tomorrow.
Although the empress said that she didn't mind or anything, based on past experience, this meeting cannot be taken lightly!
Don't be careless at all!
One of the maids arranged by the empress, named Xiangluo, came over at this time and said, "Miss, the bath water is ready."
Upon hearing this, Su Changan turned his head and looked at Xiangluo.
Xiangluo is the youngest of the four palace maids. She is a little plump. Although her appearance is not good, she is the type that becomes cuter the more you look at her.
but
Looking at Xiangluo, Su Changan remembered what happened with the palace maids just now, so he asked, "Luo'er, are the palace maids talking about me behind my back?"
Xiangluo was stunned. They were used to Su Changan calling them like that. But after thinking for a while, they nodded and said, "Well, they are all good things. Because Miss Changan is very famous now, many people in the palace know about it. Especially the fact that you performed filial piety despite being sick, and other things, someone has made a story book, which is very interesting. And the poems you wrote are also very beautiful. In addition, you are very, very beautiful, so many people in the palace admire you."
"If it weren't for the lords of the Chixia Army watching over here, there would be palace maids who would come to see you every day. Especially when Sister Xuanxia and I go to the imperial kitchen to get ingredients every day, someone would ask us what we were doing today or if we had written any masterpieces, but they would always be driven away by Sister Xuanxia. But there are still people who surround us and ask us questions. And..."
But having said this, Xiang Luo looked at Su Changan who was looking at her with a smile, and realized that her old habit had come back again, and she did not dare to say another word.
Su Changan smiled slightly, sighed, "What a damn charm!", then stood up, rubbed Xiangluo's head, and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.
But I was also suddenly enlightened.
Why, starting from a few days ago, the Chixia Army not only guarded the entrance, but also the corridor.
Thought of here
Su Changan couldn't help but smile helplessly, what a jealous wife I have.
Xiangluo watched Su Changan stand up and walk towards the bathhouse, and immediately asked, "Don't you still need us to help you take a bath tonight?"
Su Changan nodded: "You don't need to do that in the future. Just follow what Maomao said and just slack off."
Xiangluo felt a little regretful.
Because when the four of them were whispering in bed before, they had talked about Miss Chang'an's body.
After all, if she is so beautiful, her body must be beautiful too.
Even if I don't dare to think about anything, it would be great to be able to take a look at such a fairy-like body.
Unfortunately.
Why.
Xiang Luo sighed helplessly, but she didn't dare to have any thoughts of peeking. In the palace, such things were the most taboo. If caught, the person would be beaten to death.
After closing all the doors and windows and taking a shower, Su Changan returned to the dormitory and began to practice [Yiweiting].
I have also noticed that Li Xingyue is coming tomorrow.
……
The next morning, although Su Changan was very sleepy, he still got up yawning.
The people in Lingqi Pavilion already knew that the Prime Minister's daughter would come today.
So Xuan Xia and others got up early and started cleaning.
They were shocked to see Su Changan waking up so early.
I hurriedly prepared toiletries and also helped prepare clothes.
However, Su Changan was not used to being served, so they just helped with the preparations and then left.
