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

Chapter 1347 The Empress: This child is getting more and more rebellious!

Two days passed quickly, and the sun and moon alternated in their celestial appearance.

That grand battle between the martial arts world and the imperial court was in full swing.

Furthermore, at the end of the arena, twelve people had already been separated.

Below the arena, thirty-six people had already formed.

Even on the arena named Youlin, twenty-four future heroes of the martial arts world were selected.

The daily newsletter from Shuyalou is in high demand and has become a popular topic of conversation throughout the vast capital city.

And naturally, while discussing which grandmaster of the martial arts world would ultimately emerge victorious, and which young female martial artist possessed the potential to ride the waves of change, they also talked about the terrifying talent of the young dragons.
Gossip is, of course, indispensable.

This is the highlight.

Just like the Miaoyin Pavilion and Miaoyin Palace, everyone in the martial arts world knows that they split up due to internal disagreements, and Wenjun and Caiyun have always been the representatives of this younger generation.

Previously, when the two fought on the arena, everyone thought Wenjun would win easily. After all, Caiyunjian looked like she had come to participate in the competition on her master's orders. Moreover, when Caiyunjian was mentioned, people only talked about how she was second on the Rouge Ranking, but rarely about her martial arts skills.

On the contrary, Wenjun is not only the most handsome man in the world, but his martial arts talent has also reached the threshold of the ninth rank. Some senior experts with strong skills can tell at a glance that he is ready to enter the ninth rank at any time.

But when the two fought, Caiyunjian actually defeated Wenjun. Afterwards, someone revealed that Caiyunjian had suddenly changed her personality and seemed to have found someone she cared about.

The second-ranked woman on the Rouge List has someone she likes.

This has caused great distress to many young heroes in the martial arts world, who have all begun searching for the culprit!

Just like many young heroes from the martial arts world who came to the capital to find Forsythia, they wanted to see what kind of coward Liu Baishi was.

But a group of officials from the Court of Judicial Review came out directly and gave him a disapproving look.

The young heroes of the martial arts world chickened out first.

However, there is also a rumor that Lian Qiao was once surrounded and attacked, but was killed by Lian Qiao with a single sword strike. One of the attackers was the young master of Xi Yue Peak, and the wound on his body was also a sword wound.

Besides that, there's another thing that people love to talk about.

It was a second-rate sect in the martial arts world, called the Flying Sky Sword Sect.

The old sect leader was indeed a Grandmaster of the Ultimate Realm, but he was getting old. This time, when he came to the capital, the leader was someone with the current sect leader's peak ninth-rank strength.

However, he has two twin sons who are extremely talented in swordsmanship and are predicted to become two Grandmasters of the Flying Sky Sword Sect in the future.

If a sect truly produces two Grandmasters at the Ultimate Realm, then it can be considered a near-first-class sect. If its strength is even greater, it could easily become a first-class sect.

But it's a pity.
When they encountered the girl named Sauerkraut, for some reason, Sauerkraut only used a twig and the thorns, without using any other sword techniques.

Even if Suancai's strength is already at the seventh rank, he should be able to fight, right?

But that won't work either.

The second of the twins was defeated before even Suancai could draw her sword, while the eldest, because he refused to admit defeat, was repeatedly defeated by Suancai with a single stab using a tree branch.

Neither of them admitted defeat after their loss, and they even cried out that they had been humiliated. As if possessed, they led some of their followers to ambush the little girl, Suancai, and were about to kill her.

As a result, the former Sword Maiden of Jianshan, now Ping Ruoshui, one of the Thirteen Valiant Guards, coincidentally ended up with Suancai.

Everyone except the two little children was dead.

Before Ping Ruoshui could go find the sect leader of the Flying Sky Sword Sect, she went to investigate.

Yu Taohua already knew the news, so she took her sword and went directly to the Flying Flute Sword Sect Master. When she came out, there wasn't a single living person inside.

Moreover, Yu Taohua, unusually serious, stated, "Suancai is my brother's only apprentice, and my eldest niece."

Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Yu Taohua's reputation was earned through bloodshed; countless sects have been wiped out by his hand.

Once these words were spoken, everyone knew perfectly well that this "pickled cabbage girl" had an incredibly powerful backer.

But they also knew that Yu Taohua was ruthless and merciless, never hesitating to eradicate any threat.

Flying Sky Sword Sect
Gone.

Besides that, there's another fun thing.

The young master of Qingyang Sect said he had taken a liking to Yan Ruyu, the daughter of Commander Yan, and was trying to woo her in various ways every day.

The old sect leader of Qingyang Sect was also a Grandmaster of the End Realm. When he was at his peak, he rushed into the list of the top ten candidates in the world. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant and was seriously injured in a battle with Wu Qinhu, which caused his strength to decline.

However, the current sect leader of Qingyang Sect also possesses the strength to reach the limit.

Moreover, the whole family, young and old, has come to the capital this time, and it seems they really intend to discuss this marriage.

However, when everyone thought that Commander Yan would take action to drive people away, Commander Yan did nothing at all, and simply said lightly, "Ruyu can decide for herself."

The renowned Asura of the martial arts world, who was also Yan Ruyu's father and now Master Baoxian of Yulong Temple, chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Ruyu, you decide for yourself."

Therefore, the Qingyang Sect worked even harder.

They no longer valued martial arts training; instead, they focused on helping the young master pursue Yan Ruyu.

This is putting the cart before the horse and is despised by many in the martial arts world.

But many in the martial arts world exclaimed, "What a smart man!"

However, Yan Ruyu also took direct action!

There was even one time when the old sect leader was present, Yan Ruyu made a move directly. The old sect leader intervened, but he was still somewhat incredulous that a swordsman under thirty years old could shake his qi with a single strike.

As expected of Yan Yunxiao's daughter, her talent is terrifyingly extraordinary.

After that, he would either do it himself or have his son stay with his grandson; otherwise, no one else could really stop this little madman.

The killing power of the number one on the mountaintop ranking is not to be underestimated.

However, some martial arts practitioners who had failed in their competitions, upon seeing Qingyang Sect's intentions, immediately formed their own plans.

This trip to the capital can't be in vain. The current state of the court is clear to everyone, especially with the Shence Mansion recruiting talented people; many martial arts practitioners have already secretly joined them.

Furthermore, the thirteen elite guards on the left and right were revealed, among whom Yi Zixuan was actually a member of the imperial court, and there was also the long-lost senior Yun Shangxian, Huang Xu, and others, as well as Suanni Qiping and others.

There are even rumors that Feng Jingtang from Jianshan was recruited, but whether she actually joined is unknown.

The fact that Shi Chanxi, the master of Zhuhaiwu Manor, was also a member of the Thirteen Guards of the Left and Right surprised everyone even more.

In particular, the Tianzhige Pavilion has formed a marriage alliance with the Su family.

The Empress's sister!
Many people secretly cursed Xie Jie, the old fox, saying that with just this one connection, who would dare to provoke the Heavenly Pavilion?

In the grand scheme of things at court, those who understand the times are the heroes, but there's no way to get in just like that, so everyone's eyeing Qingyang Gate, and naturally, they've set their sights on some people.

The most sought-after were Su Qingning, the third young lady of the Su family; Su Liheng, the fourth son; Su Zhaoxin and Su Wan'er, the fifth and sixth sons; Li Xingyue from the Li family; Li Yueyue from the Li family; and even Cui Yu'er from the Cui family.

Even more extreme, some have claimed that since the Prince of An's heir and the Zhao family were not married, there was still a chance.

In short, they were all powerful and influential families of the imperial court.

In this respect, those who frequent the martial arts world are much better than those scholars in the capital who have the desire to steal but lack the courage. Anyway, give it a try, what if it works?

This gives ordinary people something to watch every day, which makes them very happy!
Su Chang'an looked at the stacks of memorials in his hands, feeling somewhat annoyed: "This is really delaying my trip to the martial arts competition. I still have my match with Ku Yue later." Each memorial was written by an official or a noblewoman, and the content was basically all about requesting the Empress to grant a marriage.

For no other reason
crisis!

The main problem is that although there are many official families in the capital, there are only a few wealthy and powerful families, especially the better ones, with a limited number of unmarried men and women of marriageable age.

In the past, no one competed with them, so they could take their time and not rush.

But now these江湖人 (jianghu people) have emerged, and they're all shameless and disregard the rules.

How could I not get angry?

Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Chang'an: "Just leave it there, we can look at it when we get back."

Su Chang'an shook his head: "After all, it's a matter concerning their own children, and these parents are all very anxious. But..."

At this point, Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang with a memorial in his hand: "Why is it that only one family wants me to arrange a marriage for my Qingning? They look down on Qingning?"

Xia Fengxiang chuckled: "You're making comparisons? And how many families have Qing Ning rejected before? Have you forgotten? Besides, the children of noble families wouldn't beg you to grant them a marriage. And why are you comparing things like this? Are you out of your mind?"

Su Chang'an remained silent, pondering his own Qing Ning. Although she was a bit crazy, slightly reckless, had a sharp tongue, and acted rashly, she was a very good person.

While thinking about it, he picked up a red pen and wrote a response.

As for the matter of bestowing a marriage decree, Su Chang'an would naturally not issue it casually. Marriage is a major event, and there is no reason for someone to make decisions for another person on their own.

Xia Fengxiang, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Su Chang'an's reply, "Let them meet and see each other later." What kind of memorial was this?

But he didn't say much, only that "Yu Taohua and Dugu Ruyuan are still discussing how to handle this, since such a murder has occurred in the capital."

Su Chang'an picked up another memorial. In the past, Aunt Sun would handle these memorials for him, but today's situation was special, so he had to do it himself.

However, upon hearing his wife's words, he looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "I'm thinking of leaving it to Yang Guofu to handle?"

Xia Fengxiang nodded slightly, agreeing with her; she thought the same thing.

What we need is a process, not just a result.

Things in the underworld are left to the underworld.

Moreover, he attacked Wan'er first.

When Su Chang'an heard about this, he almost left the palace himself.

"Your Majesty, these are also..."

At this moment, Lady Sun entered, followed by Lu Cai and several junior eunuchs carrying memorials.

Su Chang'an looked up, gasped, and felt a headache coming on!
Lu Cai was injured.

He was eliminated.

It's not that we lack the ability.

It was because he encountered Yu Kuangjuan.

That battle.
It wasn't exactly exhilarating; it was more like a brutal tragedy.

The two are evenly matched; Yu Kuangjuan is worth half a pound of gold, while Lu is worth only eight ounces of silver.

Lu Cai was completely overwhelmed by Yu Kuangjuan, with no chance to fight back.

However, everyone who saw the Blood Silkworm on the arena clapped and cheered.

Because Lu Cai stood up again and again, even though he was covered in injuries, he still refused to admit defeat, and even when he took Yu Kuangjuan's punches head-on, he did not back down an inch.

Rather than unilaterally beating Lu Cai, Yu Kuangjuan was essentially feeding Lu Cai punches, continuously unleashing his full power of fist techniques for Lu Cai to experience.

In particular, Lu Cai's behavior of constantly trying to fight back despite his repeated failures, even though he didn't say a word, touched many people.

That's what you call youthful spirit.

After the match ended, Lu Cai collapsed on the stage, unable to move.

Many people don't understand why they shouldn't admit defeat.

But those martial arts masters, with eyes full of admiration, looked at the young man, and were even more amazed by Yu Kuangjuan's fist.

Su Chang'an looked at Lu Cai, whose face was bruised and swollen and wrapped in bandages. Although he was annoyed by these memorials, he laughed and scolded, "I told you to rest properly, why did you have to come out and do things?"

Lu Cai grinned, revealing two missing teeth. "I'm fine. The senior doctor took good care of me, and I'm doing well."

Lady Sun, standing nearby, said, “Your Highness, Jinxiu was also approached by martial arts figures today, and Ruyu went to Qingyang Gate with Kuyue. Do you think we should stop them? Also, a martial arts sect came to the gate of Prince An’s Mansion today, but Zhao Huniu scolded them and drove them out. I see things are getting more and more chaotic. As for the Su Mansion, not to mention the Third Miss, even the Fourth Young Master is now sneaking out.”

Su Chang'an was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

Xia Fengxiang remained silent, glanced at Su Chang'an, and said, "Don't you love watching these kinds of things the most?"

Su Chang'an glanced at Xia Fengxiang. He liked watching the show without doing anything, but he had to handle it himself. How could that be the same?
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Aunt Sun and said, "Aunt, please issue a decree for me: matters between men and women should not be interfered with, but don't go too far and only seek personal gain without any sense of propriety."

Lady Sun immediately bowed.

Su Chang'an immediately added, "Have someone go and bring Ku Yue back, don't let her do anything reckless."

He added, "Bring Ruyu back too."

But after saying that, she looked at Aunt Sun with a puzzled expression: "Isn't Kuyue supposed to have a competition today? Why does she have time to concern herself with Ruyu's affairs?"

Xunxia brought over tea and snacks: "They said they spent a lot of money buying food and drinks for Kuyue, and Kuyue also said she would take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Ruyu has gone astray; she's starting to use her brain now!"

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Chang'an: "You're talking like Ruyu has no brains! How can you talk about your own child like that!"

Su Chang'an clicked his tongue: "Sigh, they've changed after all. They seem to be going through a rebellious phase, just like a kitten. Mother of the children, what are we going to do with these two kids?"

Sun Shanggong and the others watched with amusement as the Empress talked such nonsense.

Xia Fengxiang laughed and scolded, "Hurry up and get ready for the competition."

Su Chang'an countered, "Aren't you going?"

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "I'll handle these things for you here."

Before Su Chang'an could speak, he frowned and said, "You're not going to sneak around following me again, are you?"

Xia Fengxiang cursed, "Am I crazy?!"

Su Chang'an nodded: "Mm."

But seeing his wife furrow her brow, he immediately turned and ran away.

Seeing Su Chang'an leave, Xia Fengxiang rolled her eyes at her husband and then looked at Sun Shanggong: "Aunt, I'll disguise myself too."

……

P.S.: I managed to post the second update today, but I still have a fever of 38 degrees Celsius. I posted the temperature in the group chat, so I wasn't lying. It's been raining every day and it's so cold!
