Chapter 431 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
There was abundant sunlight in Chengyang Palace, which filtered through the window paper and shone onto the ground, as if a thin layer of gold powder was sprinkled on the ground.
Shi Li looked silently at the old tutor opposite her.
She really wanted to ask...
Master, are you getting old and confused? Who gave you the confidence that I can control Qi Changchuan?
I could only say this in my heart. As the queen mother, it was not decent or dignified to speak like this.
Fortunately, Master Su did not directly mention Qi Changchuan, so Shi Li pretended to be ignorant and nodded in agreement.
"When I saw Su Xiaomei before, she was indeed of marriageable age."
She didn't mention Qi Changchuan. She didn't believe that Master Su had just asked him to hand over his military power, but now he had the nerve to ask him to be his grandson-in-law.
Who would have thought that although Master Su was smiling calmly, what he said was a bit irrelevant.
"I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that my granddaughter will live a safe and smooth life and not be bullied by others."
Oh, your request is not high.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite high.
Apart from marrying Qi Changchuan, who else can guarantee that she will not be bullied?
I have to admit that Taifu is Taifu, he really understands the art of speaking.
At this point, Shi Li had no choice but to ask, "Does the Master have a favorite candidate in mind?"
She doesn't speak like the tutor, she can only speak directly.
"This old minister is only thinking about assisting Your Majesty, and has no time to get to know the young talents in the imperial capital." Taifu Su is very good at Tai Chi and refused to say the name.
"Your Majesty has been very hard-working, and with your guidance, he will surely be a wise ruler in the future."
He didn't say anything, and Shi Li didn't say anything either, and the two of them talked about this and that for a long time.
Finally, what Master Su said stunned Shi Li.
He said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not young anymore, the Queen Mother should also help consider the selection of the queen. The selection of the queen should be based on talent and virtue first."
Shi Li: Yeah, you’re right...wait a minute!
The hand holding the tea suddenly stopped in mid-air, and Shi Li suddenly realized that she seemed to have taken it for granted from the beginning.
Because he had seen Su Yanshi staring at Qi Changchuan before, he had a preconceived notion that he was the grandson-in-law that Grand Tutor Su liked.
But according to the conditions proposed by Master Su and what he said now, there is someone who meets his conditions better.
Let me ask you, in this whole world, which position is more honorable and less vulnerable to bullying than that of the Queen, the mother of a country?
Shi Li put down the teacup and began to re-examine the old man in front of him.
He kept smiling and spoke slowly, putting himself in a very humble position from the beginning and unhurriedly pushing things to the present point.
Looking across the entire imperial capital, everyone knew Su Yanshi was famous for her talent and virtue. She was the perfect candidate to become the queen.
but……
She can't be the master of Qi Changchuan, nor can she be the master of Zhou Chenghao. She is not their biological mother. What is Su Taifu thinking?
"There is no rush for this matter. Your Majesty can consider it first. I dare not delay. I still have to arrange homework for Your Majesty when I return."
Master Su seemed to know what Shi Li was thinking. He stood up with a smile, said goodbye and left.
The back figure looks like a Taoist with a fairy-like appearance.
But the fact that he wants his granddaughter to become the queen alone shows that even though he is old, his ambition will not disappear.
It seems that being the imperial tutor for two consecutive generations can really make people inflated.
Shi Li sighed silently, picked up the tea that she hadn't been able to drink just now and took a sip.
I felt relieved. It turned out that the Grand Tutor was attracted to Zhou Chenghao...
Hundreds of miles away.
Princess Fu'an rode in a carriage and set out from the imperial mausoleum, escorted by many guards, on the journey back to the palace.
She inherited her biological mother's beautiful face, with a bright red cinnabar mole on her forehead, as bright as a rose in the morning sun.
Upon hearing from his confidant that Qi Changchuan had won a great victory in the Southern Region and had now returned to the imperial capital, Zhou Youning suddenly opened his dozing eyes.
"He's back? Has he met the Queen Mother?"
At this moment, the murderous aura emanating from the young girl was exactly the same as that of the late emperor.
The confidant did not dare to hide anything, he bowed his head and nodded, and told the whole situation.
"Your Majesty is hosting a banquet to welcome General Qi. The Queen Mother should also be there."
Zhou Youning looked at his confidant, sharp sparks flashing in his eyes.
After a long silence, he finally said nothing else. He just waved tiredly to his confidant and asked him to leave.
The carriage moved slowly on the mountain road. Zhou Youning took a breath and closed his eyes again to pretend to be asleep. However, his hands hanging by his sides were slowly clenched under the cover of his wide sleeves.
