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

Chapter 596

It was a sunny day, and it was so comfortable to bask in the sun on the deck.

Zhou Yuan didn't know that two girls were plotting against him in his room. He just lay on the chair, basking in the sun while watching Xiaozhuang dance with the sword.

After a while, Xiaozhuang put away the sword and seemed to be in better spirits.

She sat down next to Zhou Yuan, turned to look at him, and smiled: "Were you fooled by the little girl last night?"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and sighed: "Young people nowadays have many tricks, I can't stand it."

"Aren't you also a young person?"

Xiao Zhuang said lightly, and then said: "That Bai Xue girl is a little scheming, don't be fooled by her."

Zhou Yuan said: "She is very sensible and very likable at present. Alas, how can such a person not be likable? God has given her unparalleled talent."

Xiao Zhuang rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty's evaluation of you is really accurate, but I don't care. I just want to ask you, what are you going to do with my sister?"

Zhou Yuan immediately sweated profusely.

Before he knew how to answer, Zhuang Xuansu walked out of the cabin.

She looked at the two of them and asked in confusion: "You are all here, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Zhuang said: "We are talking about someone being cheated last night."

Zhuang Xuansu was stunned and her face turned red. Of course, she also heard the voice and was secretly angry.

Damn Zhou Yuan, on the one hand, he has bad intentions towards me, and on the other hand, he harms the girl. He is really shameless.

Indecisive, this is a man.

She couldn't help but snorted and said: "How long will it take to get to Shenjing?"

Zhou Yuan said something strange: "You can't wait!"

So he saw Xiao Zhuang's knife.

So he hurriedly said: "I can't wait any longer, I want to see His Majesty."

Xiao Zhuang nodded and said: "You still have some conscience. His Majesty's health is really about to fail. Don't make trouble with her after you return to Beijing. Take good care of her."

"Zhou Yuan, it's not that no one has made small moves over the years, but no matter how secretive they are, they were all killed by His Majesty."

"But only you, not only are not secretive, but also on a large scale, but His Majesty not only did not kill you, but also advised you to turn back. Where can you find such tolerance among the kings of the ages?"

"Don't make trouble with His Majesty because of these things. You are not right. Even if you bring up what happened last year, you are not right."

In terms of the values ​​of this era, Zhou Yuan is certainly not right.

He didn't want to argue, but frowned and said, "How can your Majesty's health be cured?"

Xiao Zhuang said, "She has deep internal strength, but no matter how deep her internal strength is, it can't withstand long-term fatigue and anxiety. You just need to make her feel better and let her rest for a while, and her body will recover."

"I'm not a court official, but I can see that this world can't do without you, Zhou Yuan, but it can't do without your Majesty."

"Without your Majesty, you will have no support, and without you, your Majesty will have no only helper."

"The two complement each other and are indispensable."

"Even if it's for the sake of the world, you should get along well with your Majesty."

If Zhou Yuan had faced these words before, he would have only sneered.

But now, after being enlightened by his father-in-law, Zhou Yuan knew that he couldn't be impatient, so he let it go.

This world really can't do without the eldest sister, and I can't do without her either.

Cannons and ships need to be built, Haojing needs to be recovered, the land should be changed, the whole country should be reformed, and the Dongluo should be completely defeated... There are many things to do. Without the eldest sister, other kings would not give Zhou Yuan such an opportunity.

Things always have to be done step by step. If it was not done in the last two and a half years, then do it for another two and a half years.

As long as the actual situation continues to develop as expected, it is the best.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but sigh that his father-in-law is indeed a good material for being an official. He is talented and capable, and his mentality is good. If it weren't for the fact that the salt business is too critical and needs him too much, I'm afraid he would have entered Beijing long ago.

Going north all the way, time flies.

Zhou Yuan has a leisurely life on the boat. He usually teaches Bai Xue a lesson, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening. She is a 17-year-old student, so it's normal to work hard. What's more, she is very diligent and studious, which is a good thing.

As for her sister, she is not a good student. Not only does she not attend class, but she also doesn't say hello to the teacher when she meets him. She really needs to be educated.

Bai Xue smiled secretly in her heart, of course she would have a cold face, after all, we sisters had already discussed it.

She said in a soft voice: "Actually, my sister just has a bad temper and can't save face. She still wants to go to class in her heart."

"Sometimes when we sisters talk in private, she will ask if the teacher teaches well."

Zhou Yuan frowned and said: "Ah? You all said this?"

Bai Xue said: "I will tell you in detail,My sister scolded me for being shameless at first, but she always asked me to tell her in more detail.

Ah? Is there such a thing?

Zhou Yuan found it incredible.

Bai Xue looked at Zhou Yuan's expression and knew that her evil plan had succeeded. If this continued, the master would definitely not want to leave us.

"Master, what should we do after arriving in Shenjing? The Duke's Mansion is so big. Will we sisters be bullied if we go in?"

Bai Xue said coquettishly, wanting to lay the foundation for future life.

And Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry, you don't live in the Duke's Mansion."

Bai Xue was dumbfounded and murmured: "Then...then...sir, how will Xue'er go to class!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Yunxian is usually lonely. You go to Princess Bishui's Mansion and help me take care of her."

"I will come here often to give you private lessons."

Bai Xue knew that things could not be done overnight, so she whispered: "As long as the master remembers Xue'er, Xue'er will definitely be well behaved there. "

She was thinking that being able to enter the Princess's Mansion was no worse than the Duke's Mansion. As long as she could serve Princess Bishui well, it would definitely be more beneficial to the Bai family.

When the time comes, she will blow some pillow talk to her master, which may be more effective than my hard study.

Thinking of this, Bai Xue has begun to secretly plan to capture Princess Bishui.

On June 22, after a long journey, the ship finally docked at Tongzhou Wharf.

The majestic Shenjing City has appeared at the end of the sight.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go directly to the palace. I want to see how the senior sister is doing. "
