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

Chapter 593

Late at night, the moon is full.

Zhao Cheng said solemnly, "After more than two years of hard work, traveling around Dajin, the tasks are arduous and the pressure is overwhelming, which makes Ziyi a little confused."

"As a father-in-law and a classmate of his late father, I have the responsibility to enlighten him and let him look down on his experience from the perspective of his life, so as to resolve the short-term and one-sided sorrow and maintain an optimistic attitude."

Chen sat in a high position, her face was cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Is this why you went to the brothel?"

Zhao Cheng said, "Madam, as a politician, especially a politician who is in a high position and often accompanies the saint, , getting lost is a very dangerous thing. ”

“I can clearly see that Ziyi is in a bad mood, how can I ignore him? How can I not enlighten him?”

“He wants to go to the brothel to drink some wine and relax, I think it is understandable.”

“After doing so many serious things, so many important things, can't you relax?”

Chen raised her eyebrows and glared at him: “Stop talking nonsense! I’m asking you, what is your relationship with Ziyi? Don’t always use Ziyi as a shield!”

Zhou Yuan sat next to him, not daring to breathe, and was already sweating profusely.

Zhao Cheng blushed and laughed dryly: "Madam, this is not... This is to comfort Ziyi. He doesn't have many friends in Yangzhou... He can't go drinking alone."

Chen said: "I'm asking you! Did you ask a girl to accompany you?"

Zhao Cheng lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Only one."

Chen snorted: "But the old woman said there were four girls."

"Ziyi had three, and I had one. I didn't want it, but I was afraid of spoiling the fun."

Zhao Cheng explained with a stiff face.

Chen continued to ask: "Then... did you touch it?"

"I didn't... I forgot!"

Zhao Cheng said seriously: "I drank too much and forgot everything, but I guess I didn't, unless the girl took advantage of me while I was drunk."

Chen finally couldn't help it.

She stood up directly, picked up the scissors on the table, and put them on her neck.

So Zhou Yuan and Zhao Cheng stood up in fear.

"Mother-in-law, don't! Don't be impulsive!"

"Oh, Madam, put it down quickly. I touched her and kissed her, but I definitely didn't do anything else!"

Zhao Cheng was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

Chen's eyes were full of tears, and she choked up and said, "I don't blame you. After all, I'm old, not the lady of the past, and I can't keep you, the top scholar."

Zhao Cheng immediately broke down: "Madam, you can't say these words. I just accompanied Ziyi to drink, it's definitely not to this extent!"

Chen said, "How dare you say that? It's fine if you go, but you take Ziyi with you!"

"Ziyi has worked hard for the Jin Dynasty all these years and has never been to any brothels. He has a noble character and keeps himself clean. As a father-in-law, you should be good. If you don't teach, you will only teach bad habits!"

"I want to write a letter to Jianjia! I want to complain!"

Zhao Cheng's face changed horribly. He finally couldn't help but quietly kicked Zhou Yuan and gritted his teeth and said, "You little bastard, say something!"

Zhou Yuan then said with a stiff face, "Mother-in-law, if you want to blame someone, blame me. I've been too tired and stressed these days. I've killed so many people. I'm so depressed and in pain that I dragged my father-in-law to drink."

Chen quickly put down the scissors, walked to Zhou Yuan, and held his hand.

She comforted him, "Good boy, you've worked hard. Which child in his early twenties has to bear so much! How can your mother-in-law blame you? Your mother-in-law feels sorry for you."

"It's all your father-in-law's fault. He brags that he is the top scholar every day, but he can't help you."

Zhao Cheng was dumbfounded.

It's all my fault, right?

Lord Zhao wanted to cry but he had no tears. However, he also knew that he had gone too far this time. If he was caught in the usual situation, his wife would only say a few words at most. This time, she was angry because it would be too bad if the father-in-law and son-in-law went together.

He also hurriedly said, "Ziyi, go down and rest. It's so late."

He winked, and Zhou Yuan knew that his father-in-law had a way to deal with it, so he hurriedly took his leave.

He was relieved when he returned to his room. Damn, this night was thrilling.

…

After another two days, Zhuang Xuansu's injury stabilized a lot with the help of Xiaozhuang, so it was time to set off.

After saying goodbye to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhou Yuan boarded the ship at the dock in Yangzhou.

When they came, the Virgin Sister, Zhuang Xuansu and Guan Caixi were on the ship. Now Caixi and Xiaoying have gone to Guizhou, and the Virgin Sister went south to recuperate. Only Zhuang Xuansu was left on the ship, oh, and Xiaozhuang was added.

Looking at the vast river, Zhou Yuan's gloom was gone and he couldn't help but open his eyes.With arms, he embraced the warm summer breeze.

The words of his father-in-law kept echoing in his heart. Zhou Yuan gained a lot and his mood completely improved.

Zhuang Xuansu felt strange and couldn't help whispering: "Why do you seem to be a different person after getting on the boat? I still remember your expression that night, as if you were going to kill someone, but now you are happy again."

Zhou Yuan turned around and smiled, looking up and down at Zhuang Xuansu.

Perhaps because her sister was there, she felt no pressure in her heart, so she didn't wear a martial arts uniform, but a thin gauze skirt, with a graceful figure with bumps and curves, full of femininity.

Noticing the gaze, Zhuang Xuansu subconsciously took a step back, her face a little unnatural.

Zhou Yuan said, "I also remember your expression that night. It didn't look like you wanted to kill someone, but it looked like you wanted to eat me."

Zhuang Xuansu's face flushed, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, trembling and saying, "You...you..."

Zhou Yuan approached her, grabbed her hand, and chuckled, "Xuansu, I did what I promised you, and now I'm on my way back to Shenjing."

"But I also remember what you promised me."

He pinched Zhuang Xuansu's slender little hand, gently stroked it, and said, "You know, I haven't seen meat for more than two months, and I'm craving it. You should fulfill your promise!"

He took Zhuang Xuansu in his arms, looked at her frightened expression, and couldn't help wanting to tease her in his heart.

"This big ship goes north along the canal, and you can see different scenery from north to south. It feels so good to see the whole world in your eyes. You and I should do some romantic things... ahem..."

Zhou Yuan's voice suddenly got stuck, and he quickly let go of Zhuang Xuansu, and said anxiously: "Master Xiaozhuang, why did you come out?"

Xiaozhuang took off the big knife on his back.

Zhou Yuan changed color and said: "Master Xiaozhuang, I was just joking with your sister. You know, she is my old comrade-in-arms."

Xiaozhuang didn't say anything, but just walked towards the deck with the knife.

Zhou Yuan was really panicked this time, and hurriedly said: "Xuansu, help me!"

Zhuang Xuansu's face turned redder when he heard it, and he turned around and ran into the cabin with his face covered.

Xiaozhuang looked at Zhou Yuan deeply, and then said: "Why are you nervous? I came out to get some fresh air and practice my sword skills."

After that, she started to show off on the deck, with sharp swords and fierce moves, opening and closing, and vigorous, which made people's scalps numb.

Zhou Yuan was unsure, but he had to applaud her: "Beautiful! Master Xiaozhuang has great swordsmanship! I admire you!"

Xiaozhuang put away his sword and said: "Zhou Yuan, for a long time, you have been separated from your family for the sake of His Majesty and the country. It's really hard."

"I dare not..."

Zhou Yuan laughed dryly and said: "This is what I should do."

Xiaozhuang said: "You are indeed a little tired after being away from home for more than two months. Go back to the cabin."

Zhou Yuan ran away directly.
