After writing, Xia Fengxiang picked it up and handed it to Sun Shanggong: "Send it to Yang Mansion in advance, and tell the Taifu to live with your own children and not to have a separate residence."
After receiving the imperial edict, Sun Shang Gong carefully put it away, responded, bowed and left.
Su Changan naturally saw what the empress wrote, and in fact he was also thinking about whether he should ask the empress to write something like this and send it to Yang Shanchang.
But I didn't expect that my wife would come.
I wrote the same thing right away, so I don’t have to explain anything.
As the saying goes, two different people can sleep in the same bed.
Thinking of this, Su Changan glanced at the dragon robe on Xia Fengxiang.
Wearing a dragon robe, touching the wife's hand is like touching the dragon's claw, touching the leg is like touching the dragon's leg, and touching the butt is like touching the dragon's leg.
Isn’t it just touching the dragon’s butt?
Thinking of this, Su Changan looked behind Xia Fengxiang.
But before the eyes reached that part, Mu Xu suddenly bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I know my crime! Please forgive me."
This scared Su Changan, and he couldn't help but look at the chief priest.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Mu Xu and said with a smile: "Mu Jijiu is such a high-ranking official, yet you dare to leave your post without permission. Can I punish you?"
If it were other officials, they would definitely be trembling with fear at this moment.
But Grand Priest Mu was not like other officials, so he did as he pleased. He said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have trained students for Daxia, and your majesty is extremely knowledgeable. The Imperial Academy is waiting for you to give lectures. And if you don't give lectures now, when the results are announced in a few days, those students will be busy crying because they didn't pass the exams, and they won't have time to study. Therefore, I, Yao Yuanzai and others have borrowed the courage to leave our posts and come to ask for help from your majesty."
As he spoke, Grand Priest Mu reached out and took out the Hundred Flowers Jade Wine, and poured a glass for Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan respectively.
When Su Changan saw Mu Xu like this, although he got used to it, he still wanted to sigh every time. He was not afraid of scholars talking to you about reason, but he was afraid of scholars presenting facts and arguments to you and making twisted claims.
Mu Xu then added: "Su Wenqing is over there reviewing the papers. I am an old minister who is constantly being bullied by him. It would be better for me to come out and do something useful."
Xia Fengxiang was used to Mu Xu's behavior, so he asked, "Whether you go or not is not up to me. You need the Queen's nod. Go back and wait for news. If the Queen nods, you will go. If not, I will send someone to inform you."
Hearing this, Mu Xu curled his lips, but looking at Xia Fengxiang, the chief priest suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Su Changan and said, "Empress."
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu and could tell that he was begging him for help. However, thinking of what Xia Fengxiang had just said, he picked up the Hundred Flowers Jade Wine and poured a glass for Xia Fengxiang, poured himself another glass, and then ignored Mu Xu and looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang naturally picked up the wine glass, and after clinking glasses gently, the two of them drank it all in one gulp.
It really is jade wine!
It is refreshing and leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth.
Xia Fengxiang sighed: "That's great, shall we use this wine at our wedding?"
Su Changan shook his head: "It's good, but it's too expensive. You should save money wherever you can. Your reputation is the most important. You can't leave a reputation for having an extravagant wedding."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, but still said with a smile: "Whatever you say is what I'll listen to you."
Mu Xu looked at the young couple singing the same tune, completely ignoring him, and even feeding him something for no apparent reason. However, after thinking for a moment, the Lord Jijiu changed his words and said, "The Queen is virtuous and kind, and she is truly worthy of being the mother of the Great Xia Kingdom."
Xia Fengxiang suppressed a smile and looked at Mu Xu: "Grand Priest Mu, why don't you leave? Do you really want me to ask Commander Yan to come out and ask you to leave?"
Hearing this, Mu Xu immediately shook his head: "No, no, I will leave now, but before I leave, I have something to say..."
But just as Mu Xu said this, Xia Fengxiang immediately said, "Ruyu, send Mu Jijiu out of the palace."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu immediately clasped her fists and accepted the order, then came to Mu Xu: "Master Jijiu, please."
Mu Xu looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Your Majesty, I am... no, Deputy Commander, wait for me to say it, Deputy Commander Yan! Your Majesty, the Queen, your Majesty, you must come tonight, I have boasted that I can definitely invite you."
By the time he finished speaking, Mu Xu had already been grabbed by the collar by Yan Ruyu and was dragged out.
This is Yan Yunxiao learned from Yan Ruyu.
Because she remembered Yan Yunxiao sending someone away, that was it.
For a long time, Mu Xu could still be heard yelling.
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, looked at Su Changan and said, "If it were my father, he would have had him punished."
Su Changan asked with a smile: "Why are you free to come here today?"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "I'm bored. That's why I came to play with you. You don't want to see me!"
Su Changan was helpless for a moment.
But before he could say anything, Xia Fengxiang said, "Let's go and take a look tonight."
Su Changan asked: "We?"
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "I will definitely go. Even if you don't give lectures, I will find time to go and see those students. Especially since Xun Kuang has already drawn up a list of students going to Japan, I want to see with my own eyes whether those people are qualified or not, so as not to mess up some of my plans."
Although he will definitely be summoned to the Zhonghe Hall at that time, what he sees then is completely different from what he sees in private.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Are you still pretending to be the eunuch beside me? Forget it, how about a palace maid instead? She's prettier."
Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan, then said, "Let's both put on makeup and go and see. If necessary, we can show up. If not, we won't show up. Although Mu Xu did nothing wrong in this matter, he was a little disrespectful, so he should be punished. Father also told me that I don't need to worry too much about Mu Xu's Imperial College. With him around, there will be no shortage of scholars, but this person tends to be too pushy, so he needs to be punished from time to time. I came here today because I was afraid that you would agree to it."
After that, he looked towards the gate and said, "Cat."
Maomao poked her head out to look into the yard, and after making sure that Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang hadn't done anything, she stood up and said, "I'm here."
In front of Xia Fengxiang, the cat is still very well-behaved.
Not as presumptuous as he was in front of Su Changan.
Xia Fengxiang said, "Su Changan and I will put on some makeup so that no one can recognize us. Can we do that?"
Maomao nodded: "Yeah, sure, it just takes some time."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Why don't you just draw now? You and Ruyu should draw too, and come along."
Maomao nodded again: "Yes."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "That's it."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and sighed helplessly: "I'll listen to you."
Su Changan actually didn’t care what Xia Fengxiang was going to do, he just had to accompany him.
Accompanying my wife to do what she wants to do, does this need a reason?
No.
And
Su Changan wants to touch the dragon's buttocks now!
However, Xia Fengxiang didn't know what Su Changan was thinking, so he just smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that when Mi Wanjun goes back, the Grand Tutor will definitely be angry. He might guess that you will go to the place where the lecture is tonight, so he will go there to find you, and then apologize to you in public to show his sincerity. That old man is the best at keeping a low profile. When my father was around, he was very patient."
"However, this is the end of our efforts against the Yang family. Many slaves from the barbarians have returned, and Xia Zhixu has caused a lot of trouble in Yandi since he went there. We can only scare the Yang party to this extent, and we will have to wait until Wen Daoji comes and meets him before we can make any further moves."
When he said this, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "Su Changan, did you hear me?"
Su Changan nodded: "I'm listening. I'm trying to do two things at once. On the one hand, I'm thinking about what to do if the master really apologizes to me. On the other hand, I'm thinking about bigger things."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment: "Bigger huh?"
Just when Xia Fengxiang said this, he was suddenly hugged by Su Changan.
Before she could say anything, she immediately felt where Su Changan's hands were.
Swish!
Xia Fengxiang's face suddenly turned shy.
He even lowered his voice and glanced at the cat who had just entered the room to prepare: "Su Changan!!"
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang gently: "Don't talk, let me enjoy the happiness of this moment."
then
A scream came from Su Changan's mouth.
……
On the way out of the palace, Mu Xu was frowning, wondering what to do.
If I don't come, I will lose face. Or should I hide in the Imperial Examination Hall? Let Xun Kuang lose face?
Well, this method works!
Let that kid go!
I will hide myself. If the Queen goes there, I will come out. If she doesn't go, I won't be there anyway, so it will be Xun Kuang who will be blamed.
While thinking about this.
Mu Xu saw Mi Wanjun walking in the distance ahead.
Although it was far away, Mu Xu could still clearly see Mi Wanjun's proud back.
Mu Xu was happy and thought about it.
We have to go to Yang Shanchang to have some fun first!
Chapter 176 The Empress and the Queen at the Next Table
Mi Wanjun was from Yizhou, which is Jiannan Road, or more bluntly, from Shuchuan.
After passing the examination for a scholar in his early years, he worked in the Palace of the King of Shu for some time, but he found that there seemed to be no future in following the King of Shu, so he thought about taking the imperial examination.
He came to Beijing three years ago. He was lucky and paid a lot of money to get on the second-class list. As his family was in business, he relied on his wealth to get close to Yang Guofu, and later to Yang Shanchang, a big tree.
From then on, Mi Wanjun began her meteoric rise to power.
Others may never be able to wear the scarlet robe in their entire lives, but he wore it in just three years, thanks to his constant flattery of the Grand Tutor.
Secondly, his business experience since childhood made him deeply understand the importance of currying favor with the powerful and seeking personal gain, and he was well aware that it is easy to become an official if one has someone in the court to help him.
But in fact he wanted to recognize Yang Shanchang as his godfather so as to completely tie down this big tree and move up step by step.
But now he has some thoughts of his own. After all, the situation in the court has changed dramatically in just a few months. Yang Guofu's demotion is actually a trivial matter. As long as Yang Shanchang is still around, Yang Guofu's voice will not be weakened.
However, His Majesty gradually took control of the government in one person's hands, and the Yang party was in danger.
So Mi Wanjun started to have some thoughts of her own, and with the political situation like this, Mi Wanjun's mind became even more active.
