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

Chapter 1345 It's all Su Chang'an's fault!

The old blind man did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked up at the direction where he had been looking, as if taking a bath, and then laughed and said, "It's just the spectacle of a sword saint's sword energy being crushed by one person."

Su Zhaoxin was puzzled by what his master, whom he had acquired by chance, was saying. But it sounded like someone had defeated the Sword Saint Yu Taohua.
Su Zhaoxin looked at Lu Yuanzhi behind him without any politeness, "Nephew, what do you mean? Do you understand?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Su Zhaoxin. Although he was puzzled that his master had suddenly taken in such a junior uncle, since he was his master's last disciple, he was naturally his junior uncle. So he said respectfully, "Junior Uncle, what the grandmaster means is that Senior Yu's sword just now could have injured Senior Liu, but someone stopped it from a great distance."

Su Zhaoxin understood.

However, the old blind man lowered his head and faced Su Zhaoxin, and laughed: "You keep calling him 'Junior Nephew,' but aren't you going to take care of your Junior Nephew's life-long happiness?"

Su Zhaoxin didn't understand the intricacies of martial arts; he just joined in for the fun. But as soon as his master mentioned it, he immediately straightened his back and patted his chest, saying, "Master, you can rest assured. Sister Xingyue listens to me and will definitely make it happen for you. If all else fails, I'll go to my older sister. She's always busy and loves matchmaking the most."

After saying that, Su Zhaoxin looked at Lu Yuanzhi: "Grandmaster nephew, don't worry, your uncle is here! It'll be a success!"

The old blind man smiled and stroked his beard.

Lu Yuanzhi, however, looked bitter: "Miss Xingyue and I are just acquaintances; everyone has misunderstood."

Su Zhaoxin said, "Oh, don't be shy. My older sister said that both men and women are reserved and shy at first, and the more they deny it, the more likely they are to succeed!"

The old blind man laughed even harder.

Lu Yuanzhi, on the other hand, looked helpless. What had the Empress been teaching this junior uncle?

However, the old blind man added, "Your senior sister can also help. That child has become a high-ranking official in the capital. You could have him visit Prime Minister Li's residence more often. As for Liu Xuer, I have a master there. At worst, I can invite the Heavenly Master. That old man has a lot of influence. Your master and uncle are not married. I can't say anything about your uncle's character, otherwise he'll run away from home again. Your master is obedient, but when I told him to help my Yizixuan lineage, he insisted on recruiting disciples for me. I just want him to get a wife. He's such a blockhead! Your junior uncle is still young. Yuanzhi, it's all up to you."

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi had an even bigger headache. There were so many things to do, why was the advisor only thinking about this?

However, after pursing his lips, Su Zhaoxin glanced at his master and then at Lu Yuanzhi.
The old blind man raised his hand and placed it on Su Zhaoxin's head: "Suddenly something on your mind?"

Su Zhaoxin looked up at his master and said, "I'm quite afraid of the King of Shu."

The old blind man was puzzled.

Su Zhaoxin frowned: "I feel like every word she says is a trap for me. Last time we met, I was in a terrible situation. I lost all my money, got beaten up, and didn't even get to eat anything good."

The old blind man laughed.

Just as he was about to speak, his expression froze, and he looked up to face forward.

Lu Yuanzhi immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Yu."

When Su Zhaoxin saw Yu Taohua holding a child in her arms, he was about to pay his respects, but before he could speak, he immediately changed his words: "This younger brother greets Brother Yu!"

Yu Taohua originally wanted to talk to the old blind man about serious matters, but upon hearing this, she immediately looked at Su Zhaoxin and gave him a thumbs up: "As expected of you!"

After saying that, he asked, "I heard from the Old Celestial Master that you call that old woman Yan Yunxiao 'elder sister'?"

Su Zhaoxin nodded: "That's right, Sister Yan didn't say anything to me."

While clicking her tongue in amazement, Yu Taohua gave Su Zhaoxin a thumbs up, then looked at the old blind man and said, "I'll definitely be there when you get beaten up!"

The old blind man laughed and cursed, "That rotten mouth of Dan Xian's."

Monk Longshi never talks about these things unless you ask.

But the Old Master is different; he'll keep telling you even if you don't ask.

However, the next moment, Yu Taohua looked at Su Zhaoxin and stretched out her hand: "Give it to me!"

Su Zhaoxin blinked: "Huh?"

Yu Taohua immediately said, "What! You're calling me 'Big Brother' now? This is your eldest niece in my arms. When you see your eldest niece, you have to give her a red envelope or something. It's almost Dragon Boat Festival."

Su Zhaoxin looked at Yu Taohua and thought, "How can this Sword Saint be so shameless!"
But he immediately took out some loose silver coins and looked at Yu Taohua: "You really want them?"

Yu Taohua said, "Of course, you're calling me 'Big Brother' for nothing. Just because you called me 'Big Brother,' everyone in the martial arts world will have to bow respectfully to you from now on."

Su Zhaoxin glanced at the child in Yu Taohua's arms, then looked at Yu Taohua's expression, placed the silver in Yu Taohua's hand, and said decisively, "Alright! Anyway, it's for my niece, so I'll give you a little more for my nephew!"

Yu Taohua looked at Su Zhaoxin and thought, "That brat's got it!"
But the next moment, Su Zhaoxin looked at Lu Yuanzhi: "Nephew, kneel down and kowtow to your Uncle Yu, and get my money back."

Yu Taohua raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Zhaoxin. "What a talent!"
Lu Yuanzhi was speechless.

The old blind man laughed, reached out and touched Su Zhaoxin's head, then looked at Yu Taohua: "What do you want from me?"

Yu Taohua looked at the old blind man: "I just came to talk to you. Did that person suddenly make a move just now because he was angry?"

The old blind man said irritably, "How would I know!"

But the old blind man was very clever and immediately understood Yu Taohua's intention: "I can't stop that one. If she gets really angry, you'll have to figure something out yourself."

Yu Taohua immediately asked, "Isn't it obvious what kind of person he is? What does he like and dislike? I'm preparing to give him a gift or something. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to get beaten up in front of my wife and kids."

The old blind man said, "Choose someone."

Yu Taohua was stunned.

The old blind man continued, "If she takes a liking to you, no matter your status or who you are, even if you're a beggar on the street, she can sit down and have a drink with you and chat for a long time. If she doesn't like you, she'll tell you to get lost as soon as she sees you."

After saying that, the old blind man turned to Yu Taohua and said, "It's unrealistic to ask someone to plead for you. It's no use for anyone to plead for you. If that woman wants to beat you up, and someone dares to plead for you, she'll take care of you too. So you should find someone she dislikes even more to take the blame for."

Yu Taohua: "Who!"

The old blind man gestured forward.

Yu Taohua looked in that direction and saw the old celestial master sitting in front, watching Wu Mao and an old man from the martial arts world walk onto the arena.

Yu Taohua squinted her eyes, already starting to ponder the matter.

The old master noticed Yu Taohua's malicious gaze. "You bastard, what are you plotting against me?"

As he pondered this, the old master squinted slightly and noticed a girl wearing a veil and an old woman standing in a secluded spot in the crowd.

A look of confusion flashed in the old master's eyes. What was going on?

Xia Yuanyuan, the princess of Chu, also discovered the old man and the woman wearing a veil.

She came with You Li and the others because her father was having a martial arts competition today.

But as soon as the little girl turned around, she saw the old man and the woman standing at the entrance of the martial arts training ground.

Xia Ai'ai pursed her lips and looked at the old man.

He naturally recognized the old man.

Grandma!
She kowtowed to this elder!

As my father would say, he's the living ancestor of the family!

Upon seeing this, Xia Ai'ai ran towards it without saying a word.

But halfway there, Xia Ai'ai blinked and started thinking, because her father had said that if she saw her great-grandmother outside, she shouldn't go up to acknowledge her; she should acknowledge her only after the old lady spoke to her.

but
Father also said that when you see Madam, you should kneel down and kowtow.

What should we do?

The little girl felt this matter was difficult to handle.

After thinking for a moment, the little girl still ran in that direction.

Grandma and Su Chang'an naturally both noticed Xia Ai'ai, the little girl.

Seeing the little girl about to run over but then stopping, Su Chang'an smiled and wondered what she was up to.

Grandma remained unfazed.

However, Xia Ai'ai immediately ran over, looked up at her great-grandmother, and said nothing.
With a snap, he knelt down, kowtowed three times to his great-grandmother, then got up, turned around, and ran!

Why not just kowtow and deny it?

Xia Ai'ai thought to herself.

Grandma looked at the little girl's back and said, "If you teach your child to be this stupid in the future, then come to the Temple of Heaven often." Su Chang'an said, "Grandma, what does this have to do with me? Besides, your great-granddaughter said that I shouldn't teach the child. She's here."

Grandma didn't speak, but after a moment of silence, she said, "You come here. Qingge is a bit clueless when it comes to these kinds of things."

Su Chang'an lifted his veil to reveal his disguised face, his expression serious: "I think so too!"

Seemingly unhappy that her great-granddaughter was being talked about, the great-grandmother looked at Su Chang'an and said, "You're not much better."

Su Chang'an curled his lips. This old lady!
……

Xia Fengxiang had a sneeze coming on, and he was about to sneeze, but he just couldn't manage to.

"It must be Su Chang'an talking about me behind my back!"

After muttering this to himself, Xia Fengxiang leaned back on the cushion, feeling somewhat exhausted, and lay down.

If you gently place your hand on your lower abdomen, over time, the lower abdomen will become more and more noticeable.

When she stands up, her clothes can cover her, but when she lies down, if you look closely, it's quite clear.

"This is all Su Chang'an's fault!"

Xia Fengxiang glanced at his stomach.

But after saying that, she frowned and said, "It's not entirely his fault."

But as she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then she scolded, "How can you say we can't blame him! It's all his fault!"

After saying this, Xia Fengxiang nodded firmly.

Aunt Sun, who was waiting outside the hall, smiled as she watched this scene, but when she looked at His Majesty, she lowered her head and still felt incredulous.

She learned that the Emperor was pregnant on the day he and the Empress returned; the Empress told her that.

At first, she didn't realize what was happening and thought the Empress was talking nonsense again.

That evening, His Majesty told her that he was pregnant.

Aunt Sun looked on with surprise.

How can two women have a child, unless it's His Majesty?
Thinking about this, Aunt Sun was at a loss.

Xia Fengxiang realized it at the time and immediately told Aunt Sun the truth, which was that Su Chang'an was a man.

Aunt Sun didn't believe it.

Looking at the emperor, she tentatively asked, "Really?"

then
Even if you get a positive answer.

But ever since then, no matter how I look at the Empress, I can't help but wonder, how could she be a man!
Even now, when I talk to the Empress, I subconsciously assume she is a woman, but as we chat, I suddenly realize that she is a man.

Fortunately, Aunt Sun had been in the palace for decades and was quite adept at concealing her true feelings, so no one noticed. Otherwise, she would have been disrespectful as a servant.

But the Empress has actually had a child with His Majesty.

This still surprised Aunt Sun.

After all, it's truly unbelievable that a man looks so much like a woman.

Xia Fengxiang didn't notice Aunt Sun's gaze; her eyes were currently fixed on the folded paper in the box beside her.

These memorials were just delivered. I glanced through them during the small court assembly just now, and more than half of them were impeachments against Yang Shanchang and Yang Guofu.

For no other reason
It was because he appointed Yang Guofu as the Prefect of Jingzhao that Yang Shanchang was allowed to return to the position of Right Minister.

The task that should have been to impeach Xia Fengye was not carried out by anyone, as if this prince, who was clearly being sent to the capital to retire, was no longer worth impeaching.

Or perhaps someone deliberately publicized it, ignoring this once-famous and flamboyant King of Shu, letting him remain unknown and ignored as the greatest punishment for him.

Looking at these memorials.

Xia Fengxiang felt somewhat annoyed, especially when he thought of Xia Fengye's words, "Where is Yang Shanchang?"

And then there's the thought of Yang Shanchang's increasingly hunched back.

Xia Fengxiang rubbed his temples and looked down at the floor in front of Su Chang'an, where he always rolled around. "If only he were here, he could scold me a couple of times and feel better."

After saying that, he looked at Aunt Sun and asked, "Auntie, what was the cat doing when it just came back?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Sun immediately bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I came to find the Grand Commander, and now I've run off to say that the Empress stole her purse."

Xia Fengxiang took a deep breath. What a spineless coward!

But after cursing in his heart, he couldn't help but smile, thinking, "He does know how to steal."

After muttering these words to himself, he looked at the memorial impeaching Yang Shanchang.

What should we do?
When Yang Guofu returns, there will likely be even more people impeaching him.

……

After hastily leaving the small court assembly, Mu Xu clung tightly to Yang Shanchang's arm, insisting that Yang Shanchang treat him to a meal.

He even dragged Su Wenqing along.

Su Wenqing felt helpless, but she did not refuse.

Yang Shanchang couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to nod.

Mu Xu looked at Xia Tingyu, who was walking leisurely at the very back.

Xia Tingyu looked up.

Their eyes met.

Mu Xu laughed and said, "Lord of Shu, shall we have a meal together?"

Xia Tingyu immediately shook her head: "The Grand Master could have said something more polite. You know I won't go, yet you still invited me. It seems so insincere."

Mu Xu rubbed his hands together: "If I don't say it like this, you'll probably say I didn't call you again."

Xia Tingyu chuckled and said, "I'm planning to go check out the martial arts competition, so I won't bother you three any longer."

Su Wenqing said, "When I have some free time, I'm thinking of visiting that old gentleman at the Shu Jun residence."

Xia Tingyu nodded with a smile: "Grandmaster also talks about you and the Grand Master."

Mu Xu immediately corrected: "Three! When Old Yang comes, back then Su Wenqing and I were no match for your grandmaster, and he swindled us out of dozens of taels of silver. This time, the three of us will go together!"

Upon seeing this, Xia Tingyu immediately bowed and said, "I look forward to welcoming the three of you. I will certainly prepare a feast for you in my residence."

Mu Xu grinned.

Xia Tingyu didn't say anything more and left.

But before leaving, he glanced at Yang Shanchang and the other two.

Just now, during the small court assembly, these three were arguing about something, but now they're acting like this.

Despite differing political views, they do not belittle each other.

These three old gentlemen were quite interesting.

Thinking this, Xia Tingyu hummed a little tune as she walked towards Chengtian Gate. She hadn't seen that person at Lingqi Pavilion, so he must have left the palace again.

……

P.S.: I fell asleep last night. The temperature suddenly dropped here these past two days and I caught a pretty bad cold. I'll add more words later, so please bear with me.
