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

Chapter 1304 Surprise
It was already night when Su Chang'an returned to the palace.

Cat was very happy because the letters Su Zhaoxin brought back for him included not only those from Zhang's mother and the other sisters, but also from Qing'er, the little girl with the limp.

Su Chang'an asked with great interest, "Qing'er knows a lot of characters?"
The cat immediately perked up and started saying that many words in the letter were homophones and had to be guessed, and that some were even misspelled.

Seeing the cat's excited expression, Su Chang'an laughed along with it.

The little girl has only been learning to read for a few months, but she can already write letters, which is actually quite remarkable.

Just now, during the Su family's dinner gathering, the cat was reading the letter by herself, going over it word by word.

Lian Wei, on the other hand, went to find his mother.

During the journey, Su Chang'an was told that after Lian Xie met Liu Baishi, he didn't say anything, but he specifically asked many times if Lian Qiao had drugged the girl.

He also spoke with Liu Baishi privately, asking her to think things through carefully.

Su Chang'an was not surprised by this, after all, it was exactly the same as what Lian Xinglan had done back then.

However, there was one thing that surprised Su Chang'an: although Xie Jie did not live in the Su residence but went to the Yue Prince's residence, she took Liu Baishi with her everywhere she went and called her "my granddaughter-in-law" to everyone she met!
This made Su Chang'an suspect that his grandfather might have given the old man Lian some advice.

When entering the palace, Su Chang'an and his entourage did not go through Chengtian Gate. On the way, Su Chang'an noticed that the palace servants were busy carrying things.

After inquiring, I learned that they were preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival banquet.

Upon hearing this, Su Chang'an nodded. Counting the days, it was time to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, since it was only about ten days away.

But thinking about this
Su Chang'an looked at Lian Wei: "Isn't the martial arts competition in three days?"

Lian Wei nodded: "Mm."

Su Chang'an then asked, "Have all the platforms outside the city been set up?"

Lian Wei said, "I don't know the specifics, but I'd say it's almost done. After all, the investment promotion and other things went very smoothly, so construction started quickly."

Su Chang'an nodded. He had left the martial arts competition to others without asking about it, and he didn't expect it to be about to start.

But thinking about it, the old master seemed to have said that it should start before the Dragon Boat Festival, and if all goes well, the last match would be held on the Dragon Boat Festival, and then he would attend the palace banquet.

For this Dragon Boat Festival banquet, Xia Fengxiang planned to invite the old Celestial Master and other senior figures, since they had all rushed to the battlefield in the Battle of Mobei.

Although it doesn't seem like anything special.

But it was clear to anyone with eyes that they were going to their deaths.

Su Chang'an nodded, having already mentioned it to the Old Celestial Master.

The old Celestial Master was quite looking forward to it, saying that he had never attended a palace banquet in his life, and he wanted to join in the fun before he had to.

Su Chang'an said, "Let's... never mind, let's just go on the day it starts. We can ask Tian Gui when we see her."

Lian Wei clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Su Chang'an had actually signed up for the martial arts competition.

However, he registered through Li Xizhi, and apart from Xia Fengxiang, his great-grandmother, and Li Xizhi, no one else knew that he was going to participate.

The main reason for seeking out Li Xizhi was that Su Chang'an had learned a spear technique from Li Xizhi and was thinking of using it on the arena.

When we returned to Lingqi Pavilion.

Xia Fengxiang was walking around in the courtyard. Mr. Zhang instructed him to take a walk whenever he had free time, but not too much, but not too little either. The specific amount depended on whether His Majesty felt tired. If he felt even slightly tired, he should rest.

Kuyue sat on the floor yawning, sitting cross-legged with one hand supporting her cheek, looking very bored.

Upon seeing Su Chang'an, she immediately pounced on him: "Are you going out to play? Take me with you!"

Then Su Chang'an deftly tossed him outside. Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Chang'an: "You're back?"

Su Chang'an hummed in agreement.

Everyone in the courtyard stood up and left.

Su Chang'an helped Xia Fengxiang into the main hall.

Xia Fengxiang shook his head: "They've only just started walking."

Su Chang'an nodded and stayed by his side.

Xia Fengxiang asked, "How is Zhaoxin? How is his injury?"

Su Chang'an didn't hide anything, after all, the letter Zhao Wuxu sent was very clear, and he had nothing to hide from his wife, so he said, "It's a bit scary. He said he didn't feel any pain, but I think he was faking it. His entire back was burned, and his waist was probably smashed by rocks from the explosion."

Xia Fengxiang asked, "It seems there's nothing to worry about?"

Su Chang'an nodded: "Yes, it's fine. I was even thinking of letting me fight with Aunt Yan."

Xia Fengxiang smiled helplessly: "When I go to the palace, I'll take another look. Zhao Wuxu told me not to give him any rewards, lest he become arrogant. He said he still wants Zhaoxin to continue to hone his skills at the bottom, but there are some things I still need to talk to the boy about in person."

Su Chang'an smiled and said, "Zhao Xin also brought you a gift. He killed that king's country and found the seal that resembled a throne on him after capturing the prince. He also brought me a crown."

However, Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Li Heng will come to see you with Li Jiulang in a few days. He will give you a surprise."

Xia Fengxiang asked in confusion, "What surprise?"

Su Chang'an said, "It's a big surprise, but I won't tell you so I don't steal the credit. You'll see when you see it later. Anyway, it's a great thing."

Xia Fengxiang was about to speak, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "I've also prepared a surprise for you."

Su Chang'an immediately asked, "What?"

Xia Fengxiang pointed to the bamboo basket next to the low table in the hall: "In there are the valuables that Su Zifan and the others brought back. Some of them were obtained after destroying those countries, and some were given voluntarily by the surrendered countries. Some of them were specifically given to the two of us. There is a list of the items given to us. I'm too lazy to look at it, and it's your job to sort them out. Also, the kings and princesses who came with them after the surrender, although Li Chunfang was arranged to receive them, you still need to show your face and handle them."

At this point, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Chang'an, suppressing a laugh: "Then, there's also the Dragon Boat Festival banquet to prepare for. Although Aunt Sun has handled a lot of things, there are still many things you need to confirm, so it'll be a surprise."

Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang, his face suddenly contorting in anger.

Seeing Su Chang'an's posture.

Xia Fengxiang immediately said, "Stop right there! If the empresses act coquettishly, you won't be sleeping in bed tonight! Besides, these are things that you, as the empress, should be doing, but you've dumped so much of it on your aunts and the others. I can't stand it anymore."

Su Chang'an sighed, glanced at the basket of folded documents, and sighed again, "Alright then."

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Chang'an: "You're acting like you've been wronged. I haven't even asked you for help with anything I'm doing!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Today, my second uncle found out that I am a man."

Xia Fengxiang nodded, not really caring.

But Su Chang'an said earnestly, "I feel that my second uncle feels sorry for me and sympathizes with me! I can feel it. He probably thinks it's pitiful that I, a man, am forced to wear women's clothes by you! I can feel it!"

Xia Fengxiang raised an eyebrow: "I forced you?"

Su Chang'an immediately retorted, "You dare say no?"

After hesitating, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Chang'an and said, "So what if I forced you? Is that a problem? You can kill me, but it'll only result in the death of three lives."

Su Chang'an was about to speak when he paused, startled: "Three lives?"

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Yes, Mr. Zhang said after taking your pulse today that he has a feeling that you might have twins, but we'll have to wait six months to confirm. Are you happy about this surprise?"
