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

In the small courtyard of Xianglou, peach blossoms are blooming.

Outside the cold and empty room, a girl with braids is sitting on a small stool, dozing off in a daze.

Zhao Jianjia looks at everything around her, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She is used to people here, making noises every morning and doing inexplicable movements.

In the corner of the small courtyard, those strange props are still there. Zhou Yuan once held it up, saying that he was exercising his strength.

Who understands these...

Zhao Jianjia doesn't understand, but feels that the courtyard has lost its interest all of a sudden.

"Ziyuan."

Zhao Jianjia looked at the awakened girl and frowned, "It's only morning, why are you dozing off? Can't you find anything to do?"

Ziyuan said helplessly, "Miss, I really can't find anything to do, or I'll come and serve you!"

"I don't know what to do when my brother-in-law is not here."

Zhao Jianjia's heart moved, and suddenly said, "Ziyuan, why don't you go to Baiyun Mountain? Your brother-in-law is practicing Taoism there. The mountain is poor and needs someone to take care of him."

Ziyuan was stunned for a long time before muttering, "It's not impossible, but Miss, will Baiyun Temple allow me to be there?"

Yes, Baiyun Temple does not allow outsiders to live there. The Taoist priest Su Youzi is a master, and ordinary people can't see him.

Zhao Jianjia clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "Then you stay in this yard and clean it at any time, keep it tidy, and don't touch your uncle's things."

"Oh..."

Ziyuan pouted, feeling helpless, but still nodded, "I know. Miss, when will the uncle come back!"

When will he come back? How do I know?

He'd better not come back, so I don't have to worry about him.

Zhao Jianjia thought so, but her heart became more and more empty, so she could only whisper, "I'll be back in a few days. If this place is messy, see how he punishes you."

Ziyuan waved her hands quickly and said, "No, no, I will make this place clean and tidy, and I plan to plant some flowers."

Zhao Jianjia nodded, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say at all.

She felt empty in her heart, always wanting to find something to do, but she didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Why don't we visit the Fairy of Flowers!

Yes, the success of the poetry meeting was entirely due to her sponsorship. Her poem "Mantingfang" was also famous in Yunzhou. As a talented woman, there is nothing wrong with me visiting her.

"Ziyuan! Pack up! Follow me!"

Zhao Jianjia suddenly became interested and said anxiously: "Bring a few small gifts, let's go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."

"Ah?"

Ziyuan murmured: "Miss, that's a brothel!"

Zhao Jianjia pouted and said: "I don't care what kind of building it is!"

...

Zhou Yuan enjoys his current life very much. He goes to listen to lectures before dawn in the morning, and then meditates and practices under the guidance of his master until the moment when the purple air comes from the east.

After completing the task of practicing Taoism, he ran up and down the mountain steps. He was so tired that he couldn't lift a bit of strength. Then he returned to the Taoist temple and ate crazily.

Then came the strength training, which was actually to help the Taoist temple lift things and exercise local muscles, especially the chest, shoulders, arms and legs, which were very important.

After all this, it was already noon.

At this time, I went to the yard of the senior sister to walk around and chat with her.

In the afternoon, I continued to meditate and practice, listened to the master's teachings, and also started to learn boxing and kicking kung fu.

I had to be busy like this until late at night before I could go back to my room to rest.

Are you tired? Of course I am tired! The first three days almost took Zhou Yuan's life!

Fortunately, the master was generous and gave a lot of medicinal food, which was a daily tonic, and there were various herbs for bathing to relieve muscles and bones.

Anyway, after seven or eight days, Zhou Yuan really felt that his body had become much stronger.

Going to the yard of the senior sister to chat every day became the most relaxing time of the day.

"I came earlier today than yesterday."

The elder sister always seemed to have that calm and composed expression. She was never shy, never noisy, and never impatient.

She always sat in the pavilion, admiring the flowers and meditating, as if enjoying the beauty of life.

"Because the current training volume is already very easy for me, I will increase my efforts starting tomorrow."

Zhou Yuan sat down, picked up the teacup and drank it in a burst, and at the same time couldn't help but exclaimed: "The tea here is still delicious."

Miao Shanzi smiled slowly and said: "I asked you to bring some over, but you didn't listen, and insisted on coming here every day to drink."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's difficult to go from luxury to frugality. You can't spoil your appetite."

Miao Shanzi shook his head and said: "I see that you want to come to see me, but you can't find a good reason, so you come here every day to drink tea, but in fact you want to talk to me more."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then glared and said: "I'm really curious, who are you, senior sister? How come you can guess what I'm thinking?"

Miao Shanzi said: "Maybe you are simple and easier to guess?"

Simple? This word is good. No one has described me like this for many years.

Those bastards in my previous life called me a little fox behind my back.

Zhou Yuan didn't refute, but sighed: "There's nothing I can do. After meeting so many people, the senior sister is the most beautiful. Of course I want to come and see her more."

Miao Shanzi said softly: "You should be good at discovering the beauty around you. For example, Master is very beautiful, isn't she? By the way, I'll tell you a secret. Master is only 37 years old this year. He has the secret to keep his youth and is no different from a young woman."

"Please spare my life!"

Zhou Yuan quickly clasped his fists and said: "I dare not even listen to such disobedient words. If Master knew, I'm afraid I would be driven down the mountain. "

Miao Shanzi didn't care about these, but said slowly: "I am also doing this for your own good. After all, starting tomorrow, you won't be able to see me anymore. You can only see Master at that time."

"Ah?"

Zhou Yuan glared and said: "Big Sister is leaving?"

Miao Shanzi nodded and said: "I am entangled in worldly affairs and was born to be a hard worker. This time I gave myself such a long vacation. This is the first time in many years that I have been willful."

"I can't delay it any longer. It's time to go."

At the end, she sighed a little, and her reluctance in her words was not concealed.

Zhou Yuan said: "Where is Big Sister from?"

Miao Shanzi smiled and said: "Why? Are you starting to inquire about my worldly identity? Are you going to look for me after you go down the mountain? Don't forget, you are a married man, and your Big Sister dare not mess with your original wife. "

This is quite ambiguous. If Zhou Yuan hadn't known the woman in front of him, he would have been distracted.

Zhou Yuan said: "I don't have the blessing to marry a fairy like my senior sister in this life. It's just that we are all mortals. If we meet in the future, we must take care of each other."

"Of course, it's my job to take care of my junior brother."

Miao Shanzi took out a jade pendant from her sleeve. She chuckled and said: "When you arrive in Shenjing, you can take the jade pendant to Lihua Tower and someone will receive you."

Zhou Yuan took it quickly, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help saying: "This jade pendant is at least worth a big house. I'm really afraid that I will sell it."

Miao Shanzi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Then you won't have a chance to see me, naughty junior brother."

Zhou Yuan put away the jade pendant, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "How old is the senior sister, is she unmarried? "

Miao Shanzi smiled and squinted her eyes and said, "You really have feelings for me."

Zhou Yuan said, "If you don't have feelings for beautiful women, you are not a man."

"It's a pity that you don't have a chance."

Miao Shanzi patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder and said, "I have been married for more than ten years. You are just a younger brother in front of me."

That's a pity.

Although Zhou Yuan has no intention of conquering the senior sister for the time being, it is a bit regrettable that such a beautiful woman is someone else's wife. This is human nature.

But Zhou Yuan could only helplessly say, "Okay, when will the senior sister leave tomorrow? I will see you off."

Miao Shanzi said, "Don't try this. I don't like the feeling of parting, but since you are leaving, I will give you a gift."

She waved her hand and said, "Xiao Zhuang, I will leave my junior brother to you tonight."

Xiao Zhuang nodded and said, "Master, don't worry."

And these words made Zhou Yuan jump up and yell, "Absolutely not! ”

This female Titan is over 1.8 meters tall, and her arms are thicker than my thighs. I really can’t afford it!

Although I have been exercising recently, it is not reasonable to fight a tank with flesh and blood!

Zhou Yuan shouted: "Big sister, tell me the truth, I am still innocent, and I can’t bear this kind of pressure like a storm!"

"Fuck you! What are you talking about!"

Xiao Zhuang almost slapped him, staring and said: "The master asked me to teach you a set of swordsmanship!"

Miao Shanzi pinched Zhou Yuan's surprised face and chuckled: "You think it's wrong, right? Xiao Zhuang has high standards and doesn't like you."

"She is very good at martial arts and has a unique swordsmanship, which is a real killing skill. I spent a lot of effort to convince her to pass it to you."

"Junior brother, the night is long, and you have to work hard to practice swordsmanship. "

She shook her head, slowly stood up and walked towards the room.

The moonlight was like water, and her graceful figure was so charming.
