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

Chapter 201

"Husband, have some of this."

"Husband, today's side dishes are also very exquisite, and one of them is made by me."

"Oh, I almost forgot, I made fragrant lotus root soup, Ziyuan, go and get a bowl."

"Jianjia."

Zhou Yuan's soft call made Zhao Jianjia slightly stunned, and then she smiled softly and said, "What's wrong, husband?"

Looking at her delicate face, Zhou Yuan sighed slightly, held her face, and said, "You are only nineteen years old, you can't always stay in the kitchen and the yard, you should also do something you like."

Zhao Jianjia smiled gently and said, "Who stipulates that I can only like What do you like? I like poetry, songs, scenery, painting and calligraphy... But now I also like to make something delicious. If my husband is happy, I will be happy too. "

Zhou Yuan said: "You are right, but it will be too boring if it goes on like this. I think you can also go to the gatherings of scholars in Shenjing to discuss poetry and exchange ideas with them."

"There are many big families and women in the boudoir here. You should go and see them. It will be more interesting."

Zhao Jianjia's eyes lit up, and she was obviously very interested. She really hadn't written poetry for a long time.

But she hesitated for a moment, and still shook her head and said: "Forget it, let's talk about it when we have the chance. My husband is under so much pressure now. I must take good care of the family and not let my husband worry."

In the past six months, Zhou Yuan has watched Zhao Jianjia change from a slightly arrogant lady to the current head of the family.

To be honest, he did not feel a sense of accomplishment because of this. He hoped that Jianjia could live a more relaxed and happy life.

"Don't worry, Jianjia. You are in charge of the family. Nothing will go wrong. You should take a break occasionally."

Zhou Yuan pinched Zhao Jianjia's little face and smiled, "Your husband is not always busy. He will go for a drink occasionally. Everyone needs to relax."

Zhao Jianjia thought about it, then smiled and blinked, saying, "It is said that there will be a new poetry meeting tomorrow. It is a banquet held by the candidates and scholars who passed the autumn examination this year. Many boudoir girls and ladies will go. I want to go too."

Speaking of this, she chuckled and said, "With Madam Xiong, she invited me, but I haven't agreed yet."

"Of course!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Take Ziyuan with you tomorrow, and Xiaoying will follow too, so it will be safe."

After speaking, Zhou Yuan looked at Xiaoying and glared at her, "Girl, don't do anything stupid tomorrow, otherwise your sister won't take you out in the future."

Xiaoying hurriedly said, "I will definitely not do anything stupid! Xiaoying is the most obedient!"

She was tired of staying at home and was just about to go out for some fresh air.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing. This was a plan to kill two birds with one stone. It not only satisfied Jianjia's desire for leisure, but also took the opportunity to let Jianjia get to know Princess Qinshui.

He had received the news that Princess Qinshui would also attend tomorrow's new poetry meeting.

...

Is Zhou Yuan busy?

To be honest, he was very busy, especially in recent times. There were too many things to plan. He often couldn't sleep late at night, so he got up to review his plan and frantically looked for loopholes in the plan.

Because he knew that any omission could become the knife that chopped off his head.

If he was not careful and comprehensive, there would be only one way to go.

Tonight he did the same thing, lighting a candle, holding a pen, and constantly writing some key words on paper to record his thoughts.

"Beijing Camp", "Five Military Camps", "Bingmasi", "Jidian", "Xuanfu", "Jinmen"...

He thought about the relationship between them, crossed out some words, and added some words.

Just when he was concentrating on his thoughts, the table suddenly made a sound, which scared Zhou Yuan.

He looked closely and saw a delicate and small dart stuck on the table, with a tube of letter paper tied to the dart.

Zhou Yuan looked back and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. There was a hole in the window behind him, and the dart flew in from there.

If this fucking thing stuck in my head, that would be terrible.

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Xiaoying rushed in quickly with a dagger in her hand. She was relieved when she saw that there was no one in the study.

She tilted her head and blinked, saying, "Brother, I heard a sound."

"Yes, there is an assassin!"

Zhou Yuan growled, opened the wrapped letter, but his face changed.

On the letter, it was written: "You have been in the capital for three months, and I have been in my empty room for nearly a hundred days. We are thousands of miles apart. Could it be that your feelings have changed and you don't want to recognize a lowly witch like me?"

Cai Ni! It's Cai Ni!

Her handwriting is unique and has a great style. Others can't imitate it.

Zhou Yuan stood up, but happened to see Xiaoying running out.

"Wait!"

Zhou Yuan shouted hurriedly: "Xiaoying is back!"

Xiaoying turned around, her face full of confusion, and whispered: "What happened to my brother?"

Zhou Yuan forced a smile and said: "No need to chase, maybe it's a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and go back to sleep."

"Oh..."

Xiaoying pouted and responded, yawned, and said: "Brother, go to sleep too, it's almost dawn. "

She stuck out her butt and went back to her room shyly.

Zhou Yuan realized at this moment that Xiaoying's skin was very white, and some parts of her body had become larger.

Damn it, how could I...

Why can't I do that! She is seventeen years old, just a year younger than me, but she looks younger!

Zhou Yuan shook his head suddenly, confused, why would I think about these things.

After all, it was Cai Ni who messed up my mind!

He picked up the letter on the table, read the contents of the letter over and over again, and finally took a deep breath and walked out of the house.

Yes, Cai Ni has many flaws and is an uncertain factor.

But Cai Ni has also paid a lot for Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan had no choice but to meet her, even if now was not the right time to meet.

He walked out of the mansion and into the dark alley, looking at the moonlight that was about to set in the west, silent.

And under the moonlight, at the end of the dim alley, a slender figure appeared.

She was wearing thin clothes, with messy long hair, and without makeup, but she was like a lotus flower emerging from clear water, beautiful and charming, like a fairy under the moon.

She was very beautiful and charming, but at this moment she had no smile, only tears on her face.

She was not wearing shoes, her bare feet stepped on the cold stone slabs.

It was so cold, Zhou Yuan felt heartbroken and couldn't help saying, "Cai Ni!"

Cai Ni walked slowly to Zhou Yuan, forced a smile, but tears flowed down.

She said softly, "Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are taller. "

Zhou Yuan took off his coat and quickly put it on Cai Ni, frowning and saying, "It's so cold and snowing, why did you come out wearing so little?"

Cai Ni whispered, "I was already asleep, but I dreamed of you again. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came to see you."

This sentence made Zhou Yuan's nose sour, and he thought to himself that he was a scumbag.

No matter how busy he was working in Shenjing, why didn't he take the time to see Cai Ni, even for a glance!

For the first time, he felt guilty for his behavior.

"Your Highness, no... it should be the Commander."

Cai Ni looked at Zhou Yuan, and the tears in her eyes reflected the moonlight.

She said softly, "You are finally no longer that unknown scholar. I knew that with your talent, you could easily become a high official."

"Cai Ni also knows that the officialdom is like a battlefield. Those officials are very vicious. If you are not careful, you will be targeted by them. "

"So you can't continue with me! You must have a clean background."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "Cai Ni, it's not like that."

But Cai Ni was crying and continued to say in a trembling voice, "Cai Ni is a prostitute, and a demon girl of the Wusheng Sect. If she follows you, you will ruin your future."

"You treat me well, I will never hurt you."

She looked at Zhou Yuan's face and murmured, "I came here only to say goodbye. From now on, you will be glorious and Cai Ni will continue to be a demon of the Demon Sect. You and I will no longer... woo woo..."

Before she finished her words, Zhou Yuan suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms and kissed her pale lips fiercely.

At this moment, the two seemed to have forgotten everything.

Before the dawn, no one would disturb them.

There was only moonlight like water, and only silence.
