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

Chapter 1340 We definitely won't meet the Empress!

With the Jianghu Briefing published by Shuyalou, all the big and small things were reported in the newspaper.

Even though it wasn't published in the newspapers, there were always informants who knew where to start, and the news spread throughout the capital overnight.

A roadside stall, with five diners at one table.

Zhao Huniu held the naan bread on the table, taking a sip of mutton soup and a bite of flatbread, displaying her boldness and prowess befitting a daughter of a military family.

After swallowing the naan bread in her mouth, Zhao Huniu looked at her four classmates, Su Qingning, Li Yueyue, Li Xingyue, and her fiancé Xia Yaomo, and said, "Tell me, do you all feel something is wrong?"

Su Qingning nodded seriously: "Something feels very wrong."

Li Yueyue frowned: "What can we do?"

Li Xingyue sighed: "Um, why did you drag me here so early in the morning? I still have the Dragon Boat Festival banquet to attend to."

Before Li Xingyue could finish speaking, Zhao Huniu immediately looked at her and said, "So what if you're an official? You don't want the three of us anymore?"

Su Qingning nodded seriously: "That's right, ever since you became an official, you've become unsociable and arrogant, you know that?! Li Dazhentou."

Li Yueyue nodded seriously: "That's right. Sister Xingyue is becoming more and more of a loner."

Li Xingyue looked bitter. She had to go to the Court of Imperial Sacrifices early in the morning to prepare for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival banquet. After all, she still needed to make arrangements with the people from the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, the Court of Imperial Stud, and the Ministry of Rites regarding the song and dance performance.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival banquet, also known as the victory celebration banquet, cannot be taken lightly, especially now that the Great Xia Dynasty has achieved peace and prosperity throughout the world, with envoys from foreign countries coming in an endless stream.

I heard that because His Majesty and the Empress did not meet with those foreign envoys, they all planned to make a show of themselves at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, which requires careful preparation and arrangements.

But these four people!

They dragged me out of the house first thing in the morning, saying they were a team and no one could be missing. When did such a team come into existence?

Zhao Huniu placed a hand on Li Xingyue's shoulder: "I'm an official too, how come I'm not busy and not arrogant? Li Dazhentou, you need to reflect on this. And don't forget, Xia Tingyu is back! I can still go to the Western Regions, but what about you? Are you still treating her like a toy when you were little?"

Li Xingyue said helplessly, "Niu Niu, Princess Shu Jun won't do that, and besides, it's not a big deal here today."

Su Qingning looked at Li Xingyue: "Is it because your man is back that you're starting to get cocky and don't want us anymore?"

Li Xingyue immediately retorted, "I don't have any man, Qingning, don't talk nonsense."

Li Yueyue raised her hand: "I know, there were rumors circulating in the Imperial Academy before that the young master of Yizixuan was named Lu Yuanzhi, right? That's the person."

Li Xingyue reached out and gently patted Li Yueyue's forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Yueyue touched her forehead: "Now that I'm an official, they've started beating me."

Li Xingyue frowned, "I'm going to hit you, you can't stop talking nonsense."

Li Yueyue immediately looked at Zhao Huniu.

But Zhao Huniu looked at Li Xingyue with unusual seriousness, "What we're going to talk about today is what we're going to do today, but speaking of Lu Yuanzhi, Qingning!"

"Here!" Su Qingning responded immediately, then took out the newly purchased Shuyalou briefing and placed it on the table.

Zhao Huniu placed one hand on the briefing and stared intently at Li Xingyue: "Today is the day Lu Yuanzhi battles Sheyue and Kuangjuan. Tell me honestly, are you planning to sneak off to watch?"

Li Yueyue interjected, "It's still the day Yu Taohua is going to fight! Sword Saint! I didn't get a liking to that female swordsman the day before yesterday, what a pity, I definitely can't miss it today."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingning looked at Li Yueyue and said, "Yueyue, it's best not to have too much hope for the Sword Saint."

Li Yueyue looked at Su Qingning in confusion: "Why?"

Su Qingning recalled the first time she saw the living Sword Saint Yu Taohua and answered seriously, "Because he doesn't even look like a swordsman like Lian Qiao."

Li Yueyue blinked: "Not even as good as Forsythia?"

Su Qingning nodded seriously, "And just like Xun Siye, he likes to swindle money from young girls' purses."

Li Yueyue blurted out instinctively, "Isn't that just a bastard?" As soon as she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and looked around.

Bang bang~~
He lightly tapped the table: "Gentlemen, we've gone off-topic!"

The group looked at Zhao Huniu, while Li Xingyue remained helpless and wanted to go and do her errand.

Xia Yaomo, who hadn't said a word the whole time, remained expressionless. He was used to this kind of thing. As he reached for the mutton soup, he glanced at the rope connecting his hands to Zhao Huniu's.

despair!

Seeing the scallions on Zhao Huniu's lips, Xia Yaomo sighed again, reached out to take some for her, and then put them in her own mouth before continuing to sit aside and watch the people coming and going on the market street.

Zhao Huniu was used to it. She glanced at Xia Yaomo and then turned back to discuss important matters with her sisters.

Xia Yaomo listened to people on the street saying things like, "The old King of Shu has also entered the capital and was captured by Xia Tingyu. Shu is now at peace."

Xia Yaomo had learned about his thirteenth uncle's arrival in the capital yesterday.

The main reason was that her father went out last night. When he returned, he had a cut on his lip and a nosebleed, but he looked refreshed and said to her mother, "That bastard Xia Fengye was more seriously injured than me. That fight was satisfying!"

But immediately, he saw his father's head hang low in dejection. 'That bastard Xia Fengye got to see the Empress Dowager, but I didn't even get to see her.'

Xia Yaomo actually had little memory of having such a great-grandmother.

At first, he even wondered if His Majesty had made it up on purpose. Otherwise, why wouldn't he know about the Grandmother? He was, after all, a member of the Xia family.

After listening to his father's words for a while, he realized that his great-grandmother probably didn't like their family, otherwise why wouldn't she come out?

But then I heard from my sister-in-law that the old lady's mood is completely unpredictable; even His Majesty might not be able to see her, it's all a matter of luck.

"Yaomo, did Prince An also go to court today?"

Upon hearing Zhao Huniu's words, Xia Yaomo turned to look at Zhao Huniu and nodded, "Yes, that's right."

Zhao Huniu turned to look at Su Qingning and the others, "Very good. From this perspective, today is the Grand Court Ceremony. Since that's the case, His Majesty must be busy. We won't be able to meet His Majesty today, so there's no need to pay special attention to that. The rest is up to Her Majesty the Empress."

As she said this, Zhao Huniu looked at Li Xingyue.

Li Xingyue noticed that everyone was looking at her. "I don't know what Your Highness is doing, but... but it should be in Lingqi Pavilion, right? After all, many noblewomen come to the palace to wrap zongzi, don't you all know that?"

After saying that, Li Xingyue finally couldn't help but say, "Besides, why do we have to talk about this every day? Where are His Majesty and the Empress going? Why are we so concerned about this?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huniu and the other two looked extremely serious. Zhao Huniu, in particular, said, "If we don't know where His Majesty and the Empress are, what if we pat them on the shoulder and it turns out to be them again?"

Li Yueyue nodded in agreement: "Sister Xingyue doesn't understand. We just grabbed someone randomly, and it turned out to be the Empress! After that, I was so uneasy that I even wrote my will! Sister Xingyue, you really don't understand romance at all!"

Zhao Huniu also said, "Even His Majesty patted me on the shoulder."

Li Xingyue's eyebrows were raised in a V-shape, and she pouted, "Then why not just not talk to strangers like that? It's best not to talk to strangers at all."

Xia Yaomo looked at Li Xingyue and said frankly, looking around the table, Li Xingyue was the only normal person there!
Su Qingning said, "There are so many people in the martial arts world, we should make more friends. How can we make friends if we don't talk to strangers?"

Zhao Huniu and Li Yueyue nodded at the same time.

Li Xingyue was speechless.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Huniu said, "However, judging from this, it seems we won't be able to meet His Majesty and Empress today. Let's go to the martial arts competition venue later."

Several people nodded.

Xia Yaomo shook his head helplessly, but he remembered that his older brother was also participating today.

Just as Xia Yaomo was thinking this, she saw two women walk into the shed where the stall was located. After a moment of confusion, she...
Xia Yaomo's expression froze for a moment, "Liu Su?"
