And the fact that Mi Wanjun is on this list makes the meaning very clear.
Su Changan was helpless and didn't really want to see him.
But Xia Fengxiang told him about such a thing, saying that officials would definitely come to curry favor with him, the queen, and asked him to be prepared.
However, Su Changan did not expect this to come so soon. After all, she was not the real queen yet.
But after laughing for a while, Su Changan asked helplessly: "Are you here as Mu Jijiu? Are you here to ask for poems again? Isn't he the chief examiner? Why isn't he going to review the papers?"
Sun Shang Gong said, "Mu Jijiu came because you promised to give a lecture last time. You said that if you give a lecture before the results are announced, the students will listen. Once the results are announced, those who failed will not be interested. As for the examination of the papers, he must have escaped."
Su Changan rolled his eyes, but he knew that he couldn't not see them, so he said, "Please, aunt, please ask them to come over."
Sun Shang Gong nodded, bowed, and left.
Huang Sibu also went to do the things he had just done and left the yard together.
Although Su Changan was helpless, he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it, because his wife was the empress.
When thinking about this, Su Changan thought about the palace maids and some things he wanted to arrange for them. He sighed. It was really a lot of things to deal with.
Knowing that foreign officials were coming, Xia and others hurriedly prepared fruits, tea, etc.
not for a while
Shang Gong Sun came with Mu Xu, Mi Wanjun and Lord Mi.
Mr. Mi is in his forties and is quite wealthy.
"Hello, Miss Chang'an." Mi Wanjun had just walked to the door of Lingqi Pavilion when she immediately saw Su Chang'an sitting in the hall and bowed immediately.
Mu Xu was a step slower, but when he reached the door, he didn't know if it was intentional, but he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen."
As soon as these words came out.
Lord Mi, who had climbed up to his current position by becoming a grand tutor, was stunned for a moment, and immediately cursed in his heart, "Mu Xu, that old bastard, is harming him!"
I was thinking quickly about what to say.
However, after Su Changan took a look at Mu Xu, the mean and evil man, he smiled and said, "Please come in, my lords."
Hearing this, Mu Xu walked in happily.
Mi Wanjun was a step slower with the food box in her hand, but she was thinking about how to make up for her mistake.
Su Changan smiled and said, "I'm not the queen yet, just call me Changan."
Hearing this, Mi Wanjun immediately said: "I have heard that Miss Chang'an is extremely beautiful. Today, I have the opportunity to see her, it's like seeing a real phoenix."
The phoenix is male and the huang is female, and they are collectively called the phoenix, which is also the imperial bird.
Su Changan is the queen, so what Mi Wanjun said about it being like seeing a real phoenix is actually correct.
However, Mu Xu glanced at Mi Wanjun, smiled and said, "Master Mi is very talented in writing!"
Su Changan was also helpless. No wonder Sun Shanggong had just specifically said that he was very good at playing both sides. He flattered without making any noise.
Mi Wanjun smiled.
Su Changan was not a wordy person either. He looked at Mi Wanjun and asked, "Does Mr. Mi have something to do here this time? Although I am in charge of the harem and have some wedding matters, but regarding matters related to Secretary Cheng, I should It’s the one that can’t touch the edge.”
Mi Wanjun immediately bowed and said, "I heard that the Queen loves food the most and loves fine wine even more, so I specially sent a fine wine to the Queen."
As she spoke, Mi Wanjun opened the food box, and immediately a fragrant aroma reached Su Changan's nose, while Mu Xu's eyes lit up.
Mi Wanjun continued, "This wine is called Baihua Yu Niang. It is not only sweet, but also has the effect of nourishing the body. It is extremely rare. The old man, the Grand Tutor, often drinks this wine, and some of his diseases have been relieved."
What Mi Wanjun said was actually right. She exaggerated the wine's efficacy and used Yang Shanchang to advertise the wine, highlighting the wine's preciousness and miraculous effects. Most importantly, she did not mention that Su Changan was sick, but did say that Yang Shanchang recovered from his illness after drinking some of the wine.
So to put it simply, sending wine that can heal one's illness specifically to Su Chang'an, who was rumored to be sick, was actually the right thing to send.
There's not much problem with what I said.
But the problem lies in this statement.
Mu Xu heard this, held back his laughter and said nothing.
After Sun Shang Gong got the wine, she was about to pour it for Su Chang An, but Su Chang An stopped Sun Shang Gong and asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever drunk this Hundred Flowers Jade Wine?"
Sun Shang Gong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "My lady, His Majesty has never drunk it."
Su Changan nodded: "Then leave it there and wait for His Majesty to come over and drink together."
But after saying that, Su Changan looked at Mi Wanjun and said, "I will accept the wine given by Lord Mi. When His Majesty comes to my place later, I will drink with her."
Chapter 175 The Queen said, don’t talk, let me enjoy the happiness of this moment
Mi Wanjun heard this. His many years of experience in officialdom made him feel that there was something wrong with what the queen said, but he couldn't figure it out, so he thought he was overthinking it and immediately bowed and saluted: "If your majesty and the queen like it, you can tell me that I can send this wine every day. I am also looking for delicacies in the market. When I find them, I will definitely send them to the queen."
Su Changan looked at this Mi Wanjun, Lord Mi, and was a little surprised that even though he had explained it so clearly, this secretary hadn't noticed it yet. It seemed that all his thoughts were spent on flattering him. So he smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you, Lord Mi, you are so thoughtful."
Mi Wanjun immediately said in shame: "No, no, the Queen is the mother of our Great Xia, she must be fine."
After saying this, Mi Wanjun looked at Su Changan and then glanced at Mu Xu, obviously having something to hide.
Mu Xu bowed to Su Changan and said jokingly, "Empress, Lord Mi must have something important to ask for. I am getting in the way of his business here."
When Mi Wanjun heard this, she immediately said, "Master Jijiu is joking."
Then, he looked at Su Changan and said, "Teacher has been thinking about how to help you, the Queen. Yesterday, I accidentally got a piece of warm jade. It is smooth and feels as warm as fat. I asked the doctor and he said that if you heat it with hot water and then put it on the abdomen, it can cure diseases. It is similar to this Hundred Flowers Jade Wine. So today, teacher specially asked me to bring it to the Queen."
As she spoke, Mi Wanjun took out a brocade box from her arms.
When he opened the brocade box, he saw a palm-sized piece of light green jade, which had a soft color and looked very valuable.
Mi Wanjun carefully presented the brocade box in her hand to Su Changan.
Mu Xu got closer, looked at the jade inside and said, "Green Bamboo Dharma Body Green Pond, good jade, good jade. Yang Shanchang is really willing to spend this time."
Mi Wanjun just smiled and didn't say much.
Su Changan reached out and picked up the jade. The jade was so smooth and silky, it was very rare.
but
Since it was given, he must have accepted it, so he looked at Mi Wanjun and said, "Taifu gave me such a valuable gift, I feel a little ashamed to accept it."
Mi Wanjun's originally smiling expression immediately restrained, and she bowed with a solemn face and said: "The teacher said that he could not come in person, and asked for forgiveness from the queen. He also said that it was his fault that the Japanese disturbed the queen yesterday. Because he failed to knock those Japanese in time, those barbaric islanders dared to be proud in my China today. This is to apologize to you. It was also during the morning court today that he promised Your Majesty that he would make amends to you. As for the matter of the jade, it was out of the teacher's heart. He was worried about the queen's health, so he sent it away, and there was no other intention."
At the end, Mi Wanjun bowed deeply.
Mu Xu looked at Mi Wanjun, who was full of joy, and said with a smile: "The things are good, but Master Mi, I'm afraid you will be punished for what you did when you go back."
Mi Wanjun was stunned for a moment. She looked at Mu Xu and then at Su Changan. She wanted to ask, but because Su Changan was there, she didn't dare to ask.
Mu Xu looked at Mi Wanjun and saw that she really didn't realize it. He smiled and said, "I was just teasing you. Look how nervous you are, Master Mi."
Mi Wanjun was embarrassed, but when she thought carefully about what she had just said, there was nothing wrong.
So he immediately thought that Mu Xu was teasing her, so he looked at Su Changan and continued, "Your Majesty, in fact, the reason why the Grand Tutor didn't come is that he was busy with the wedding of His Majesty and you."
Su Changan looked at Mi Wanjun.
Mi Wanjun continued, "The Grand Tutor knows that your Majesty and the Empress are in love and are a perfect match made in heaven. It is even more fortunate for Daxia and the people that you two are the Emperor and Empress. However, many people in foreign countries do not know this yet, so the Grand Tutor has been writing letters in person these days to inform those foreign countries that January 1 next year will be a day for the whole country of Daxia to celebrate, and to invite people from foreign countries, except for those who will definitely come to pay homage, to come and participate. This matter is important and cannot be written by others, so the teacher did it himself. I heard today that the Grand Tutor has written more than 20 letters, each one is different. In addition, after getting the approval of your Majesty, the Grand Tutor invited many embroiderers far away in Jiangnan to hurry up and make brocade, and they must be sent to the palace before the end of this month to make clothes for the Empress and the clothes she will wear in the future."
After that, Mi Wanjun added: "The Grand Tutor is in charge of etiquette, and many of the procedures and matters of this wedding must be handled by him personally, but His Majesty took into consideration the Grand Tutor's age and health, so he handed the matter over to the Queen, Lord Cao, and Lord Li. Therefore, the Grand Tutor wanted to do what he could from other places and devote himself to the wedding of His Majesty and the Queen."
Mu Xu looked at Mi Wanjun, and he could use the phrase "devoting all his efforts" when writing a letter or calling someone. No wonder Yang Shanchang asked you to deliver it.
Su Changan looked at Lord Mi who spared no effort to praise his teacher, smiled and said, "Lord Mi, thank the Master for me, and ask him to take care of himself."
Mi Wanjun immediately bowed.
But right now.
"So, the Grand Tutor must be tired because he hasn't come to the morning court these days. Please tell him to take his time and not to work so hard."
When everyone in Lingqi Pavilion heard the voice, they turned around to look at the gate and saluted immediately.
Su Changan also stood up and looked there.
The empress was seen wearing a black robe embroidered with golden dragons. She walked into the Lingqi Pavilion, smiled secretly at Su Changan, and then walked in immediately with a stern face.
After arriving next to Su Changan in the hall, he pulled Su Changan to sit down and said, "Everyone, stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mu Xu and Mi Wanjun spoke in unison.
Yan Ruyu, Xun Xia and others on the side also bowed and walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Mi Wanjun lowered her head and pursed her lips. Although she didn't expect His Majesty to come, she had thought of this a long time ago, so she was calm.
Can.
The Great Priest Mu Xumu seemed a little guilty. He lowered his head, and looked up at the empress from time to time, and sometimes even at Su Changan, with his eyes as if he wanted to say something.
The empress saw Mu Xu like this and didn't bother to pay attention. She glanced at the wine in the food box and the jade on the table, and said with a smile: "Mi Wanjun, your wine smells good."
Mi Wanjun immediately replied: "Today I specially present this to your Majesty and the Queen."
The empress smiled and said, "Master, are you really feeling much better after drinking this?"
Mi Wanjun immediately replied: "Yes. The teacher drinks often."
After this answer came out, Mu Xu looked at Mi Wanjun in surprise, thinking that her brain should not be so stupid. She was so smart on weekdays, why was she like a pig today?
The empress smiled faintly: "In that case, we should let the queen taste some. Her health is not good. You are very thoughtful and did a good job."
Mi Wanjun was overjoyed. Being praised by His Majesty was completely different from being praised by the Queen.
Especially since these two people just praised me.
The empress smiled and continued, "Go back and tell the old tutor what I just said to the queen."
Mi Wanjun had already finished her work for the day, so when she heard this, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave."
After saying this, he bent over and respectfully left the yard.
but
Watching Mi Wanjun leave, the empress reached out to pick up the paper and pen placed aside, and casually wrote a sentence, "Such a fine wine, you would rather enjoy it alone, why not let me and the queen enjoy it?"
