From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 208

A poem by Taibai, "It's Hard to Travel", shocked all the scholars to the ground. The heroic spirit in the poem was enough to make their blood boil and excited.

So Zhou Yuan couldn't leave.

"Mr. Ziyi, go slowly!"

"Mr. Ziyi!"

The scholars followed Zhou Yuan one by one, shouting.

"Why are you so anxious, sir? We still want to hear your words."

"Mr. Ziyi, there is also a discussion on the strategy of the Holy Way in this poetry gathering. We want to hear your opinion."

Zhou Yuan turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, I am only a fifth-rank official, and a military officer. It is really not appropriate to talk about the strategy of the Holy Way. Let you guys complete this topic!"

Guan Caixi gritted his teeth and said, "Family and national affairs, people all over the world can talk about it!"

The people around him also shouted.

Zhou Yuan glared at Guan Caixi fiercely, thinking, good guy, all the troubles today are caused by you!

"Zhou Yuan!"

Princess Qinshui suddenly said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Since you are going to use your low official position as an excuse to refuse everyone, then I will order you to stay in the name of the princess."

"You can't refuse, right?"

What she thought was, if you want to leave, just leave, but you also took my Jianjia with you, what do you mean?

I, Chen Peixian, finally met this kind of girl from the Jiangnan water town, and I haven't seen enough.

Zhou Yuan felt a headache. To be honest, emotionally, he didn't want to buy Princess Qinshui's account, but from the perspective of interests, Princess Qinshui was very important.

After being entangled, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness, I am really not good at..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud laugh was heard.

Everyone looked up and saw a man wearing a purple python robe and a jade hair crown, striding over with a strong momentum.

"Meet the prince!"

Someone exclaimed, and everyone responded.

Zhou Yuan bent over, feeling a little emotional. They were both born of the same father, but how come King Jing was so much more handsome than King Chu?

King Jing was Chen De, the sixth prince of the previous emperor. He was well-read and had great academic attainments. He also liked poetry, songs, operas, and was good at various entertainment activities, such as horse racing, Cuju, archery, etc. He was approachable and was called "the elegant prince".

He was very popular among the people and scholars. After each exam, he would organize various poetry gatherings, and everyone would basically participate. He had a strong appeal.

"Don't be so particular. A poetry gathering is a poetry gathering. There is no distinction between noble and humble status."

King Jing waved his hand and smiled, "Besides, today's atmosphere is rare. Don't lose the atmosphere because of me."

Everyone laughed.

King Jing looked at Zhou Yuan, smiled slowly, and said: "Mr. Ziyi's poems are wonderful and shocking. Not to mention that they are reluctant to let you go, I am reluctant to let you go either!"

He patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder and smiled: "Stay, let's talk more. I still have many questions about "Three Kingdoms"."

At this point, Zhou Yuan naturally couldn't refuse, and could only bow and say: "I dare not, I will obey the order of the prince!"

King Jing said loudly: "Everyone, have fun, don't be polite in this palace!"

Many scholars around cheered and talked about poetry again.

"Mr. Ziyi, please come this way! Let's all go on the boat for a trip!"

Many scholars invited him, and Zhou Yuan took Cai Ni and Zhao Jianjia by his left and right hands and boarded the boat.

Seeing this scene, Princess Qinshui couldn't help but snorted heavily, and was really jealous.

She came over and said calmly: "Sister Jianjia, I still have a lot to say to you, don't just stay with Mr. Zhou all the time!"

She pulled Zhao Jianjia aside, and the two of them whispered something.

Guan Caixi quickly followed Zhou Yuan and sat obediently, not saying a word.

Cai Ni chuckled and said, "What did Sister Xi say before? You like the laurels in the autumn and the lotus flowers in the ten miles? It turns out that you have been secretly in love with my son for a long time!"

Guan Caixi was embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Cai Ni, stop talking nonsense!"

Her face turned red, and she glanced at Zhou Yuan before saying, "That... Lord Zhou, I'm sorry for what happened before."

Zhou Yuan said solemnly, "Do you know that when a man meets a woman he likes, he will often be shy. But when a woman meets a man she likes, she will often be very bold."

"You were very bold just now, you must have planned for me."

Guan Caixi was startled and hurriedly said, "Zhou Yuan, don't misunderstand me, I just like poetry, I absolutely don't have any ideas, I will never compete with Sister Cai Ni for a man!"

Speaking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "Besides, apart from writing poetry, you are not good at anything!"

Cai Ni wasRaising her eyebrows, she said, "Sister Xi, don't talk nonsense. My son is good in every way. There is nothing wrong with him."

"You silly girl, you only know how to protect him!"

Guan Caixi was annoyed and started fighting with Cai Ni. The two sisters were laughing and tickling each other.

However, Cai Ni had martial arts skills, so how could she suffer in this regard? She immediately bullied Guan Caixi and made her laugh and gasp for breath.

"Good sister, please forgive me this time!"

She really couldn't bear it anymore, so she shrank behind Zhou Yuan, not knowing how intimate her actions were.

And Cai Ni's move to tickle her armpits made Guan Caixi scream, and she threw herself on Zhou Yuan and kissed him on the face.

At this moment, the three of them were stunned.

Guan Caixi's face suddenly flushed, and she quickly shrank to the side, lowered her head and dared not speak.

Zhou Yuan wiped the saliva on his face and glared at Cai Ni fiercely.

Cai Ni tilted her head and smiled, blinked her eyes, and whispered: "Do you like it, sir?"

"Don't mess around."

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes at her, then turned to Guan Caixi and said: "My innocence has been tarnished by you, remember to take responsibility!"

"Ah!"

Guan Caixi covered her face directly, ashamed.

Zhou Yuan sneered, you are such a savage girl, you still know how to be shy!

He ignored it and just looked forward, but his brows gradually frowned.

I saw King Jing sitting among the scholars, chatting happily with a group of Jinshi, the atmosphere was really good.

Under the sunlight, they were close to each other, like... the most intimate friends.

He is really an elegant prince, not only can he write poems and lyrics, but he can also guide a group of scholars with his profound knowledge. This ability is really rare.

As far as Zhou Yuan knew, King Jing had always acted like this, starting when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, and it had been thirty years now, which was the tenth batch of Jinshi.

It can be said that his disciples were all over the world!

These fledgling Jinshi were about to become officials and go to various places in Dajin. Who would forget the appreciation and grace of this elegant prince?

Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought, and subconsciously turned back to look at Xiong Kuohai who was still by the lake.

He wanted to talk to Lao Xiong.
