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

Chapter 1013

The embroidery building fell into silence, so quiet that Zhou Yuan could clearly hear his own heartbeat, violent and powerful.

Opening the window, overlooking the entire palace, hundreds of tables were filled with people, drinking and chatting, and the lunch was about to begin.

This scene was so spectacular that Zhou Yuan couldn't bear to look away.

Guan Lu said: "What are you worried about, lord?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "I just felt a force, a force to go north."

"Qiu Yuanren, Geng Qing, Jin merchants, and all the major generals of Dajin, all want to go north and serve the country."

"Their courage moved me, but Guan Lu, is our decision to go north really correct?"

Guan Lu knew that Zhou Yuan had already determined his heart, but at this moment he needed someone to stand up and give more affirmation.

So he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, remember our agreement on the plain outside Seoul?"

"You said we are not proud yet. We still have a long way to go. We have to be the strongest giant."

"For the future, so that things we don't want to see won't happen again."

Guan Lu's voice also became a little excited. He gritted his teeth and said: "Not only Geng Qing and the others are ready, but I am also ready to fight and sacrifice."

"Can we really ignore the Jurchens? Can we really ignore the northern bear? It can't eat enough. As long as it can stand up, it will continue to eat. After Liaodong is eaten, the next one is Shenjing."

Zhou Yuan looked back suddenly and broke out in a cold sweat.

He suddenly realized that he had made the same mistake as Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was afraid of sacrifice and gave the Jurchens' land in Donghai to the northern bear, but how could the northern bear be satisfied?

I am afraid of sacrifice. If I want to feed Liaodong to the bear, wouldn't that be the old way of Huang Taiji?

We must fight! There is no retreat!

Zhou Yuan's eyes became firm, and he said slowly: "Have all the letters been sent out?"

Guan Lu nodded and said: "They have been sent out. They have already replied and are ready for battle."

Zhou Yuan grinned and said: "Let's go, go down and get drunk with them!"

Just when he turned around, he found that the door of the embroidery building was pushed open again, and Xiao Zhuang strode in, his eyes locked directly on Guan Lu.

Guan Lu shuddered and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

After he left quickly, Xiao Zhuang looked around the room, confirmed that no one was there, and slowly retreated.

Then, a woman in a black cloak walked in and closed the door.

She looked at Zhou Yuan and giggled: "Your Majesty, today is your big day, how can a senior sister not come to see you."

Big joy? Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered the day of his wedding, when the eldest sister was also here...

He looked over and saw that the eldest sister took off her cloak, revealing a golden modified dragon robe. In order to make it fit, the whole style was very tight, outlining the waistline, hip line, and crotch line.

This was almost like a cheongsam, with a slit to the thigh root, so that the buckle of the black garter stocking inside was exposed. The charm of the combination of Chinese and Western styles almost made people crazy.

Guan Miaoshan walked gracefully and slowly to the window sill.

She smiled softly and said, "When you got married, you flirted with me enough here. Whatever you say today, you have to make up for it, right?"

She slightly opened her legs and sank her slender waist. The buttocks immediately tightened the dragon robe, as if it would burst in the next moment. The unique perspective made Zhou Yuan's heart beat violently.

Guan Miaoshan shook gently.

Zhou Yuan turned around and looked around, but found nothing. He simply took off the jade belt of his python robe, waved it twice, and strode over.

"Pah!"

A scream was heard, and Guan Miaoshan quickly covered her mouth.

...

"Huh? Master Xiaozhuang, why are you here!"

Guan Caixi happened to pass by here, and was a little curious. She tilted her head and said, "You should have been protecting your sister closely. Could it be that your sister is here too?"

Xiaozhuang said, "Your Majesty is going to discuss something with Zhou Yuan, and he will leave soon."

"Zhou Yuan? Humph!"

Guan Caixi shouted, "I was just about to report him! This bastard deliberately took advantage of me yesterday! I must ask my sister to deal with him!"

After saying that, she wanted to go upstairs.

Xiaozhuang stopped her and said anxiously, "They are discussing state affairs. Princess, please wait a moment."

Guan Caixi frowned and said, "What are you waiting for? My sister will never avoid me when talking about anything. You know how close we are as sisters..."

Xiaozhuang looked strange and slowly put down his hand.

Guan Caixi hurried upstairs and heard a crackling sound, accompanied by a painful scream, as if someone was crying.

It's my sister!

Damn Zhou Yuan! HeAre you bullying me?

Guan Caixi kicked the door open, rushed in, and shouted, "Zhou Yuan, what are you doing!"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Guan Miaoshan looked back, with tears on her face, and felt as if the sky had fallen.

Guan Caixi was stunned, opened her mouth, cried for no reason, and turned around and ran.

"Caixi!"

Guan Miaoshan couldn't help shouting, and was about to chase after her, but was strangled by Zhou Yuan again.

She couldn't help shouting, "Caixi saw it!"

Zhou Yuan said, "So there's no need to explain anything."

"Asshole!"

Guan Miaoshan shouted, "If you have the guts, kill me here! Otherwise, I'll never let you go!"

She was actually very happy. She had recovered Liaodong without a single soldier, and made Huang Taiji surrender with his entire family. She had planned to reward Zhou Yuan.

But she didn't expect Caixi to be so reckless.

Never mind, never mind.

Now she didn't want to care about anything, she just wanted to die quickly.

Guan Caixi, who had just rushed downstairs, bumped into Princess Qinshui's arms and screamed.

Princess Qinshui quickly supported her and asked in confusion: "Sister Caixi, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Hearing this, Guan Caixi felt even more sad and wronged, and simply burst into tears.

Princess Qinshui said, "Did Zhou Yuan bully you? How could he do that? This kind of thing must be voluntary on both sides."

"Let's go! Sister will take you upstairs to ask for an explanation!"

Guan Caixi hurriedly said, "No! Don't go up!"

She wiped her tears and said, "Don't go up, it's okay, it's okay."

Princess Qinshui was hot-tempered. Seeing her so wronged and not daring to speak, she was immediately furious and shouted, "What are you afraid of! Although sister dotes on him, she will never allow him to do such a thing!"

Guan Caixi was really scared and hugged Princess Qinshui and said, "Don't, really don't go up, the emperor sister is..."

"Then we must go up! I want to complain!"

Princess Qinshui was originally strong in internal strength. She pushed Guan Caixi away and said, "Sister will take care of it for you now!"

Guan Caixi sat on the ground and murmured, "It's over, it's really over now."

She covered her face and was already ashamed.

But slowly, she felt strange.

Why didn't Sister Qinshui come down?

She waited for almost half an hour, and finally couldn't help but rush up.

She listened outside the door for a long time, but heard nothing.

She carefully opened the door and found three people sitting and drinking tea. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

And on the windowsill, they were close together.

Guan Caixi's face was pale, and she felt that the world had gone crazy.

But she also had an indescribable strange feeling, and she felt that her whole body was soft and weak, and she could hardly stand.

"Caixi, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in and have tea!"

Zhou Yuan's voice suddenly sounded, and Guan Caixi was so scared that she ran away.

Guan Miaoshan couldn't help complaining: "Why did you scare her?"

Zhou Yuan said: "How could you scare her? You clearly asked her to come in and sit down."

Guan Miaoshan said angrily: "You have done so many good things, how dare he come in? Only Qinshui is brave enough to run in after seeing him."

Speaking of this, she still felt unsatisfied, and looked directly at Zhou Yuan, saying: "You must explain to Caixi, you can't ask me to comfort her in person, right?"

"If you don't let Caixi calm down, don't even think about such good things in the future!"
