The ugliest queen ever

Chapter 74
The so-called Sunset Pavilion is just the pavilion next to the purple bamboo forest.The scenes that once happened here suddenly flooded from all directions in her mind like a tide, and she couldn't stop it. In an instant, Su Xueqing couldn't help but hate this place.
On that day, Sikong Jue made things difficult for her here for the first time, and all the responsibility for Dai Qifu's falling into the water were attributed to her.Therefore, she always felt that this place was an ominous place, and once she came here, she would be unlucky once.
However, fortunately, today, all the enemies are gone, so she shouldn't be so unlucky, right?
"Sister-in-law Huang, what are you looking at?" Seeing Su Xueqing staring coldly at the surroundings, and Sikong Yue who kept her hands behind her back, she couldn't help being a little curious.
Su Xueqing came back to her senses, shook her head, and said with an unbearable look at the past: "It's okay, I just don't like this place a little bit!"
Hearing what Su Xueqing said, Sikong Yue immediately looked around, and found that the mountains, the water, the bamboo forest, the pavilion, the green lake, the flowers, and the grass could be described as a fairyland on earth. How could she not like it?
"No way, sister-in-law, this place is quiet and deserted, it's the perfect place for you and me to chat and play, how can it be bad?"
"It's fine if you agree, I don't care anymore!" Su Xueqing, who didn't want to argue with her, sat down in the pavilion, planning to make it up to him.
Unexpectedly, Sikong Yue suddenly squatted under her, looking at her with a serious face and a faint smile, his eyes were full of concentration and infatuation.
In modern TV dramas, such scenes are usually only used when the hero proposes to the heroine.Therefore, Sikong Yue's squatting really shocked her.She leaned backwards violently, if it wasn't for the stone table blocking her, she might have fallen straight down.
"You... what are you doing?" Su Xueqing looked at the overwhelmed man in front of him with a little panic, his long eyelashes sparkled under the golden sunlight.That flawless jade face makes people both love and hate.
Sikong Yue frowned, and her phoenix eyes narrowed into a slit: "Sister-in-law, I have a surprise for you!"
"What?" Su Xueqing patted her chest, trying to keep the original distance between herself and him.This man, what is the situation, is always surprising her every time, but every time he only surprises her and never makes her happy.
Sikong Yue smiled slightly, and said with some rogue and naughty: "You will definitely like it!"
Su Xueqing glanced at him, and said in a sarcastic tone, "How did you know I would like it?"
"Because I like all the women my king sent me!"
"Hehe, it seems that you have sent quite a lot of women!"
Sikong Yue, who suddenly realized the slip of the tongue, immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, and said with a gloomy expression, "This... Don't worry, sister-in-law, you will be the last one."
"Really? What is that?" Su Xueqing, who didn't believe his nonsense, just followed his clues and followed his words.Anyway, it has nothing to do with me who she sends off, man, how many words can you take seriously?Apart from asking you to borrow money, I really don't know what the truth is.
Sikong Yue immediately resumed her previous smile, and said with a smile: "Of course it's what women like most."
"Huh?" A ring?No way, this thing should not have been invented in ancient times, and even if it was invented, you still don't know its purpose, right?
"Dangdang - Dangdang -" the boy hummed the music, and slowly stretched out his right hand, and took out a broken bamboo tube.The bamboo tube was as long as a palm and as wide as a baby's fist. He didn't know what was inside, and he was holding it carefully and handing it over.It seems that I am afraid that the things inside will leak out, so I pay extra attention.
Su Xueqing stretched her neck and looked into the bamboo tube. It was water with some small bubbles inside.At first, she thought it was some fine liquid, a good thing for skin care and beauty.But after looking at the bubble water in the bamboo tube, she found that there was a strong smell in it.The taste is not like something you can eat or drink, but it makes people feel unpleasant.
"What is it?" While Su Xueqing thought it was funny, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.The ones I gave last time can be eaten and drank, and those who can’t eat or drink can be sold for money.What kind of water is being used this time, and what is the use of it?
Seeing that she didn't understand, Sikong Yue stood up triumphantly, grinning and said, "Let me show you how strange this thing is." After speaking, he immediately took out the purple sleeve from his purple sleeve. A bamboo tube with the length of chopsticks.He quickly put one end of the bamboo tube in the bamboo tube and stirred it, then put the wet end in his mouth and blew violently.Immediately, several colorful bubbles floated out from the front end of the bamboo tube.
Seeing this, Su Xueqing rolled her eyes and grinned, showing a symptom of foaming at the mouth, which cannot be rescued.
"How is it? Isn't it miraculous and wonderful?" Sikong Yue excitedly handed over the bamboo tube, with a charming childlike smile on his handsome face.
Su Xueqing was speechless for a long time before twitching and saying: "It's very good and powerful. You can figure it out. How old are you? You still play this stuff. I stopped playing before I was ten years old. You're still happy to be happy." so!"
Seeing that Su Xueqing was not as novel and excited as the other girls, Sikong Yue froze in place for a long time, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: "What? You played before you were ten years old?"
"Of course, we were much better at blowing than you at that time. You can only blow two or three bubbles at a time. The bubbles we made back then were a series of blows. People who hold concerts use that big guy, that bubble When the bubbles blow out, it's like rain, flying all over the sky." Feelings, it's been a long time since the ancients made such a thing, and she, Su Xueqing, is still a deadly treasure!
Sikong Yue was taken aback by what she said, swallowed sharply, and said with an incredulous expression: "Impossible, I just discovered this two years ago, mixed soap with water, and then put the bamboo tube in the When it is stirred inside, bubbles can be blown out. It is impossible for someone to know before I do, and I am the first to know!"
"Hey, this is really not fun. The bubbles will burst in a while, so it's boring. I'll show you something more fun than this, I'm sure you haven't seen it before!"
"What?" Sikong Yue was completely devastated by Su Xueqing's blow, and could only look at her resentfully.
Su Xueqing randomly took out a cloth bag from her bosom, and then blew violently on the mouth of the bag, suddenly the fancy cloth bag kept enlarging, and then bulged.
"This is..." Sikong Yue, who was bewildered, suddenly became confused.
When the cloth bag swelled to a certain extent, Su Xueqing smiled and pinched the mouth of the cloth bag tightly, then knocked the round bag on Sikong Yue's head, and said loudly: "Look, what does this thing look like?"
Being beaten by Su Xueqing like this, Sikong Yue discovered that not only can this thing swell up, but it also has an image, like a "pig". This "pig" looks different from ordinary "pigs", it is petite and exquisite , round and round in shape, with flickering eyes, and a big upturned nose, pink and weird in appearance, but very cute.
"Wow, this is..."
"I don't know how to say this, let's call it a balloon for short! But, it's not a real balloon, anyway, if I explain it to you, you won't understand."
"How did you do it?" Sikong Yue's eyes widened, she had never seen such a weird thing, and her curiosity was immediately attracted to it.
Su Xueqing pointed at the bulging "fat pig" disapprovingly and said, "How did you do it? It's very simple. I planted and cut the shape of this cloth in advance, then sewed it up, and painted it with pigs on it." Then apply a layer of rubber, and when it dries, it can be blown into this shape."
"Really?" Sikong Yue became more and more unbelievable the more he listened, the charming eyes that were full of calculations just now looked like a naive child, his face was filled with surprise and doubt.
"Of course, you see, I tied the mouth with a rope. Then, I ran while pulling the rope, and it would fly. It is more fun and convenient than a kite. Of course, it looks more beautiful!"
After finishing speaking, Su Xueqing had already tied the other end of the pocket tightly. Sikong Yue looked at her uncontrollably, his eyes filled with excitement and joy.
"What? Want to try? Here you are!" Seeing his phoenix eyes staring straight at the thing in his hand, Su Xueqing's desire to possess it seemed so strong.Immediately, she didn't show off, and directly handed the things into his hands, and said casually: "It's my meeting gift for you. From now on, remember to use this, don't use that kind of soap to make bubbles to deceive the little one." Girl, this one of mine is more innovative and romantic than that one! Your kind, blowing up, trying not to talk, let the bamboo pipe pierce the mouth, and kissing is a problem. You think, don’t you?”
Sikong Yue was instantly stunned by Su Xueqing's training, how could this woman do so much?He was the first to know about bubbles made from this soap, but she had played with them before she was ten years old.And this kite made of leather and cloth is even more peculiar.The "pigboy" painted above is simply very human-like.She can draw the most disgusting and dirty "sow" so cute and cute. Is there anyone else in Xidan Country comparable?
"Hello? Are you stupid?" Seeing Sikong Yue holding her special "balloon" motionless, Su Xueqing immediately patted his beautiful cheeks unceremoniously: "Hey, wake up..."
After being woken up by those two fat and wide slaps, Sikong Yue just felt a little pain. He was about to get angry, but when he saw the weird "kite" in his hand, his anger disappeared immediately.Following Su Xueqing's words, he threw the thing into the air, holding the hemp rope tightly in his hand.The thing was flying higher and higher, and he just had to move it back and forth, and he went faster and higher.This thing seems to be much better than a kite.
At that moment, Sikong Yue was overjoyed as if she had discovered a new land, she was holding a kite like a rabbit running in a strong wind, running around, completely losing the usual majesty of King Kang.
Su Xueqing stood where she was, looking at Kang Wang who was so immature, she shook her head helplessly, sighed, and left with a brush of her sleeves.
Let's play, let's play, Su Xueqing doesn't want to accompany her, there are more important things waiting for her!
Back in Fengyi Hall, Guoguo and Qing'er were making the bed for her.
Seeing Su Xueqing came back, several little girls surrounded her and asked with concern: "Madam, has King Kang gone?"
"No, I'm busy in the Sunset Pavilion!"
"Ah? Busy? What are you busy with?" Qing'er stared at Su Xueqing curiously and asked.
Guoguo smiled strangely: "Could it be that the empress is giving Kang Wang a problem again?" Seeing that Kang Wang has been physically and mentally exhausted by the empress these days, Guoguo couldn't help but secretly laughed.
"Hey, he's excited. I don't have time to mess around with him, so I'm back!"
"Excited? What makes him excited?" Guoguo continued to insinuate.
Su Xueqing just narrated briefly, and did not intend to continue.Afterwards, she asked Guoguo to prepare her pen and ink, and she planned to start work again.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to draw again?" Guoguo saw that her empress has been busy for the past few days, either going out of the palace, or busy doing some irrelevant but difficult things for them to understand.
Su Xueqing half-lyed on the table, resting her chin with both hands, and kept thinking: "It's nothing, I want to draw a sample of playing cards."
"A sample of playing cards? What is it?" The third little girl once again didn't understand what the empress was talking about!
Su Xueqing didn't say it clearly, but just smiled strangely: "It's nothing, you will know in the future."
"Then what can we do for the empress now?" Qing Erzhi has been diligent and obedient since she got Chu Yaofan's ink jade hairpin.
Su Xueqing nodded, thought for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Are there any good craftsmen in this palace?"
"Uh, yes, there is a craftsman named Liu Fu in the palace. He has a pair of magic hands, and he can make everything perfect and exquisite. People call him Liu Shengshou. Most of the exquisite handicrafts in the palace, They were all made by him. Your Majesty, I like the dragon pictures carved by him the most, and I heard that the current Nine Dragon Chairs are all made by him."
As Qing'er said, her eyes were full of admiration.
"Okay, call him over!" He passed it on so well, could it be that he is a descendant of Lu Ban?Hehe, didn't it say that it has been lost?
"Your Majesty, do you want it?"
"Of course it's carving something, hurry up, just call!"
After Qing'er Guoguo and the others followed their instructions and went about their own affairs, Su Xueqing devoted herself to drawing her poker diagram.She saved the big king and the little king. As for the JKQ flower cards, the characters in them were too cumbersome, so she replaced them with peony, wintersweet, and lotus.Anyway, in this place, no one should sue her for tampering with other people's belongings without permission, and no one will sue her for copyright infringement.
When the craftsmen came, Su Xueqing had already drawn six or seven samples.
The craftsman surnamed Liu was dressed in black, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a black beard covering his entire mouth, and his figure was as thick as a tree.Walking panting like a cow, the steps are calm and arrogant.
At first glance, this person looked a bit like a wild man in the mountains, not a person who could carve meticulously at all.
Just when Su Xueqing denied him a little bit, she was attracted by those calloused hands.Because he was a little nervous, when he faced her, his ten fingers were tightly clasped together, and there were thick yellow calluses between his fingers.From this point of view, there are only two possibilities, either he did heavy rough work, or he really has craftsmanship.
"Ms. Liu sees my mother!" The man saluted slightly, but he didn't dare to look up at Su Xueqing.
Su Xueqing generally admires people who are genuine.Anyway, in modern times, Liu Fu is also an artist.
Immediately, she said with a gentle smile: "You are welcome, you are Liu Shengshou, you are good at carving things?"
When asked by Su Xueqing, the man bent down in panic and said, "Your Majesty is too famous, she can't be called a master, it's just others making fun of her. Mrs. Liu is just a reckless man who knows how to carve."
Su Xueqing knew that the ancients were humble, and it was very tiring for her to talk like this, so she pointed to the painting in her hand and said, "Liu Fu, help Ben Gong to see, can you carve these?"
Seeing that Niangniang didn't talk too much to him, but focused on her paintings, Liu Fu also heaved a sigh of relief. When talking about his major, he would inevitably be much less stressed.
However, when he saw those square paintings, he frowned slightly. Each square painting was marked with a number, and in the center of the painting, there were red hearts, black hearts, plum blossoms and other shapes.These things are so weird, what are they used for, why can't he understand them at all?
"What? Can't you do it?" Su Xueqing asked suspiciously as she looked at him with a deep frown and a troubled expression.
Liu Fu was afraid of offending the queen, so he shook his head quickly and said, "It's very simple to carve this kind of thing." Yes, compared to carving dragons and phoenixes, this kind of numbers and flower shapes are as simple as one.
"Then what are you worrying about?"
"Ms. Liu... dare to ask, what is this lady? Mrs. Liu doesn't care about it, for fear of spoiling my lady's things!"
It turned out that Mrs. Liu was not flirting with this thing, Su Xueqing smiled lightly, and said with a tolerant look: "Don't worry about it, you can do it like this, I want you to make 52 pieces Come out, each of these 52 cards is divided into four suits, which are the four in front of you. Although there are four suits, the numbers are different, ranging from A to ten. Each number must be matched with these four suits..."
Looking at the confused eyes of the other party, Su Xueqing paused slightly: "Do you understand?"
Liu Fu scratched his head and shook his head sincerely.Su Xueqing sighed, then asked Guoguo and the others: "Do you understand?"
Everyone scratched their heads and shook their heads foolishly.
Su Xueqing rolled her eyes, and stood up helplessly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Mrs. Liu, I will explain it to you in detail later. Now, let me talk about the main point. When you make this kind of square thing, piece by piece, it takes more The thinner the better, of course it should be harder. Although it is thin, it cannot be as soft as paper. I hope that it can be as hard as tree bark. There are also two colors, one red and one black. Look at this red heart, And the shape of this square, they use red, and the others use black. Do you understand this?"
Liu Fu seemed to understand now, nodded quickly and said, "It's your lady, by the way, lady, what kind of jade do you want to use to carve it?"
"Jade? Why use jade?"
"Does the empress want to use gold to carve it?"
Su Xueqing choked slightly, and smiled awkwardly: "Don't do it, how much money will it cost!" When it's time to put it in the gambling shop, people don't have to gamble, if they steal one or two of her gold cards, then she Wouldn't it be a loss?
"What kind of ingredients does the lady use?" Liu Fu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Su Xueqing's gourd, and she was completely dazed by her words.
Su Xueqing stood up, snapped her fingers, put her fingertips against her chin, thought and thought, and finally decided: "Use bamboo, the thinnest kind of bamboo, it should be good!"
"Bamboo pieces?" Liu Fu was surprised, a little at a loss.Any prince or nobleman, wife or concubine, would send him priceless materials to carve things, but this queen used such cheap bamboo slices to carve things, which is really unbelievable.
"Yes, that's it. Can you be perfect? ​​Is one day enough?"
"What your mother said is so simple, it should take two hours to complete. If you include my students, it may take less than half an hour."
As soon as Liu Fu finished speaking, Guoguo retorted, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, this is something that the empress asked you to carve, how could you let your students come, if there is something wrong with what the empress wants, Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Hearing Guoguo's threats, Liu Fu was so frightened that his legs went limp. He knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I will do everything for you personally. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."
Seeing that she was scaring people again, Su Xueqing didn't like kneeling and begging the most, so she immediately helped Liu Fu up, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's nothing valuable, you let me Your students are also helping to carve, and I want a lot of quantity. In terms of quality, it seems to be about the same, I am in a hurry, please hurry up and get it done, I am in a hurry to use it.”
"Thank you, Madam, for understanding the villain..."
"Well, go on. I will finish drawing in a while, and I will find someone to send you all the samples!"
"Yes……"
