I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1230: To the Empress: Master, are you going to change your disciple?
Wu Dameng said one sentence.

The entire Lingqi Pavilion suddenly fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at Da Mengzi. Even Maomao and Yan Yunxiao looked at Da Mengzi with strange expressions.

Da Mengzi sat there, holding a cup of hot tea, puffing out her cheeks and blowing air, completely unaware of how impressive her words were.

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Su Chang'an immediately said, "Didn't I say it was a dream? And you were even scared awake! What are you all thinking, looking at my disciple like that!"

Upon hearing this, everyone averted their gazes and chuckled softly.

Yan Yunxiao glanced at Da Mengzi's simple and honest appearance. Her talent was indeed quite good. She was already practicing the Divine Drum stance, and in just half a month, she had already learned to walk it quite well. Compared to Lian Wei, Ru Yu, She Yue, and Jin Xiu, who had also entered the ranks of external martial arts practitioners and were quite famous, she was much better. These four were still being taught the Divine Drum stance by Yu Kuangjuan.

Exactly, silly!

But it's also interesting.

Su Chang'an looked at Da Mengzi: "So you didn't sleep?"

Da Mengzi looked up: "I fell asleep. I was sitting and then I fell asleep again, but I don't think I had any dreams. I can't remember anything."

Su Chang'an smiled and reached out to pinch the chubby-faced boy.

Xia Fengxiang rolled her eyes at Su Chang'an: "So what if you dreamed about it? The child is still young. What if he gets into college?"

Su Chang'an looked at his wife. This girl yawns whenever she sees words; she's even more allergic to words than Zhao Xin.

But Su Chang'an naturally wouldn't say anything discouraging. Instead, he looked at Wu Dameng and said, "Why don't you come back to practice martial arts tomorrow afternoon and read more books with your husband in the morning? Try to make something of yourself and become the top scholar in the imperial examination?"

Wu Dameng was just about to drink water when she heard this and immediately looked up, her face full of grievance: "Master, if you really want to change disciples, just say so, I'll leave, don't do this."

Su Chang'an was both amused and exasperated.

However, Xia Fengxiang kicked Su Chang'an and then looked at Wu Dameng with a gentle gaze: "Come here to your master's wife. Your master will not change his disciples. If he has such thoughts, your master's wife is here."

Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Chang'an.

Su Chang'an pouted.

Xia Fengxiang glanced again at the location where Kuyue was.

After sighing, Su Chang'an silently walked over and sat down.

We've been married for so long, everything is understood without words.

Su Chang'an walked over and sat down next to Ku Yue.

Ku Yue turned her head to look at Su Chang'an and broke off half of the large meat bun for him.

Su Chang'an took it and ate a bite.

Kuyue said, "When will you teach us 'the highest good is like water'? We haven't gone out to play because we're waiting for you to teach us."

Su Chang'an looked at Ku Yue; if he hadn't eaten the bun, he would have wanted to return it.

However, Su Chang'an also knew that Aunt Yan was here today because she knew that he was going to teach Da Mengzi the basic mantra of "The highest good is like water".

Both of them were interested in this technique, which is why they came here.

Yan Yunxiao took the gourd filled with medicinal wine that the cat brought him and looked at Su Chang'an: "Just now, the old master suppressed it again."

Su Chang'an nodded: "Yes, he told me that he was unwilling to cross over."

As he spoke, Su Chang'an looked at Yan Yunxiao.

Yan Yunxiao spoke up: "I'm not willing either. Because I can't get over it."

Frank and direct.

It's like it's not a big deal, and admitting you can't do it doesn't feel like a big deal.

Shen Tu Kuyue looked up at the two of them and said, "What are you talking about? You won't let me understand. Which old man is spreading secrets?"

Su Chang'an said, "Senior Gongsun said he would bring my grandfather's sword. And Senior Yan Qi and the others also arrived today. They said they didn't want to rest and just wanted to see me. So I thought I would tell you the incantation after we met, and then tell you my aunt and me some of my insights. After all, it's not our own cultivation method, so it's not good to leave it in writing."

Yan Yunxiao nodded. In fact, the Empress didn't need to explain such things, but if she did, it would be very much like her.

Because of respect.

Ku Yue looked at Su Chang'an and said, "I heard that the two of them, Shewang and his wife, were suffering a lot. They had been trying to repair that sword, but they just couldn't. Finally, a few days ago, Gongsun Chunu came back. After she left, the sword was finally able to be repaired."

Yan Yunxiao said, "Your knife, apart from you holding it, no one else can use its power. The same principle applies to that sword. Although it sounds mysterious, we who have used weapons for a long time know in our hearts that we can't really treat them as inanimate objects."

Ku Yue didn't speak, because Yan Yunxiao's words were true, but she immediately added, "I heard from Chu Nu that Yan Qi is dying. The reason they rushed back instead of going directly to Mobei is because she knew about this and was afraid of not seeing him one last time. That's why Feng Gu and the others rushed back with her." Su Chang'an glanced at Ku Yue, thinking, "Is that how you curse people?"

While Liu Fenggu certainly deserved to be scolded, according to what Su Chang'an overheard, the first thing Liu Fenggu said upon returning was, "Hey, how did you get injured while crying in the Northern Desert? If it were me, I wouldn't have gotten hurt."

Then he got beaten up by Kuyue.

The next day, she told people again, "Three moves! I didn't fight back even once. I don't want to hit a child. Let her have her way."

Then he got beaten up again.

On the third day, Kuyue ran to wake him up, but Liu Fenggu didn't dare to say a word.

But thinking of that Senior Yan Qi, who had been searching for Grandpa ever since he left, and when Miaoyin Palace suffered a great calamity, with many of its seniors seriously injured or dead, he shouldered the heavy responsibility, facing death without fear, even when he himself was seriously injured and beyond medical help.

After that, in addition to bringing Miaoyin Palace back to its current status as one of the top sects, she also kept searching for her grandfather, basically just to find him alive.

According to Liu Xuer, "The child's injuries were more serious than imagined, but he held on by a single breath and a single thought."

Su Chang'an remained silent.

Yan Yunxiao stopped speaking, and Ku Yue blinked at Su Chang'an before lowering her head and remaining silent.

The silence didn't last long, actually.

Not long after, Zhou Qianhong arrived with Gongsun Chunu.

There was only Gongsun Chunu alone, along with the sword box in her arms.

For decades, this sword had been kept in the Miaoyin Palace until recently when it was finally properly repaired.

Before this, Gongsun Chunu and the others wanted to repair and enshrine the artifact, but Yan Qi would always stop them.

But this time
Yan Qi offered to repair the sword and give it to the Empress.

After exchanging greetings with Xia Fengxiang, Su Chang'an, and the others, Gongsun Chunu presented the sword case with both hands.

Su Chang'an opened the sword box.

A very gentle sword.

It's not that the blade isn't sharp enough, nor is it a soft sword.

It is a true three-foot-long sword, entirely white, with a blue tassel at the end of the hilt.

The blade is clearly visible with fine lines resembling patterns.

The words "Heartstrings" are engraved on the sword.

Su Chang'an raised his hand, about to touch the sword.

But just as his fingers touched the blade...

The sword hummed, like the melodious sound of a zither.

Gongsun Chunu looked at Su Chang'an, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

She was young then, and seeing that her master's sword could always make a sound without a string, she asked curiously why, since it was clearly a sword.

My master said, "I don't know either."

Later, Gongsun Chunu tried to touch the sword, but she couldn't do it like her master, nor could her other senior brothers and sisters.

Later, when Gongsun Chunu was organizing the books her master had left her before his disappearance, she saw one that read: 'The most virtuous zither plays without strings, and the most virtuous person exudes fragrance without leaving a trace. This is called playing without playing, and being virtuous without being virtuous.'

Decades later.
I saw him again today.

Su Chang'an withdrew his hand and looked at Gongsun Chunu: "Senior Gongsun, let's go to the arranged place to wait. We should be arriving in the capital soon."

Su Chang'an never intended to wait in the palace.

It would be inappropriate for him to wait in the palace, both emotionally and logically, even given his status.

But there are younger generations who come to pay homage to their elders, healthy people who come to pay homage to the sick and elderly.

That doesn't make sense.

Gongsun Chunu nodded, lowered her head to control her emotions, looked at Su Chang'an as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but ultimately held back because she felt it was inappropriate.

Looking at Gongsun Chunu's appearance, Su Chang'an said softly, "If you don't mind, senior, I'll call you 'Shishu' (a term of respect for a senior disciple). I think it would be too abrupt to call you that since I haven't entered Miaoyin Palace yet."
