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

Chapter 1177

The child cried until he was tired, and was soon taken away by the nurse.

Ziyuan and the others put their heads together and whispered, as if they also wanted to have a baby.

Qu Ling gave out the reward money, and ordered the kitchen to arrange a family banquet. Today, the Zhou family had a new baby, so they had to celebrate.

Zhou Yuan also knew that he would not be idle today, so he simply did not think about other things, but chatted with Qu Ling, Jianjia and the others.

A moment later, Zhuang Xuansu arrived as expected, and a large group of inner guards drove a carriage and carried things into the mansion. The eldest sister was always generous in this regard.

"This is a personal gift from His Majesty."

Zhuang Xuansu opened a box, and inside was an exquisite jade ruyi.

She lowered her voice and said, "The ones that have been blessed in Qingcheng Mountain are always with the gods, which can eliminate diseases and solve problems."

Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "Thank your Majesty for me. What about yours?"

Zhuang Xuansu asked in confusion, "What do you mean by mine?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Where is the gift you gave me?"

Zhuang Xuansu looked incredulous and glared, "You gave birth to a child, and I still have to give you a gift? Aren't you shameless?"

Zhou Yuan put his arm around her shoulders and smiled, "Xiao Su, aren't we a family? It's normal to express your feelings."

"Don't come on..."

She pushed Zhou Yuan's arm away and whispered, "I haven't asked you yet, what did you say to your sister? She actually advised me to consider my personal feelings, saying that the world is settled and it's time to rest."

Zhou Yuan said seriously, "Master Xiaozhuang is a smart person, and we still have to listen to her."

Zhuang Xuansu sneered, "Okay, then go and tell them now that you will marry me tomorrow."

Zhou Yuan choked.

Zhuang Xuansu said: "Look, you can't be arbitrary in everything, right? You should always look at other people's attitudes in these matters, right? You are not ready yourself, why are you talking to me sweetly?"

After saying that, she carefully took out a purse from her arms, took out the amulet from the purse, and handed it to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan asked, "What is this?"

Zhuang Xuansu said calmly, "Amulet, not worth much, given to me by my master."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "You can't take it, it must be very valuable."

"Take it!"

Zhuang Xuansu glared at him, then pretended to be indifferent and turned his head to the side, saying calmly, "Lest you say I'm stingy."

Zhou Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Master Zhuang. How can I be stingy? This is a magical object nurtured by the Taoist rhyme of Qingcheng Mountain."

Zhuang Xuansu couldn't help laughing, looking at Zhou Yuan and said, "Sister's attitude has nothing to do with me. I didn't promise you anything. I'm planning to go to the Western Regions recently. Ye Qingying is having a hard time there, even dangerous. I don't know. Don't worry. "

Zhou Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "What is the specific situation? I will go with you."

Zhuang Xuansu said: "It's not that serious, otherwise I would have called you to go earlier. I just went to help. You should take a good vacation. You have just returned to Shenjing and you have to leave. You are not needed everywhere in the world."

"Some small things can be handled by our inner guards."

Zhou Yuan said: "The situation over there is complicated. I am worried that something will happen to you. Otherwise, before you leave, I will pass on my inner strength to help you take your kung fu to the next level."

Zhuang Xuansu asked in confusion: "How to pass it?"

Zhou Yuan coughed and said: "You can only practice dual cultivation..."

"Get lost!"

She rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuan in annoyance, shook her head and left.

Soon, Qinshui and Bishui also came with Xingguo to congratulate. The family talked together and was in a very happy mood.

At dusk, Wang Ang, Guan Lu, and Zhang Fei also came to the palace with their families, which made it even more lively.

Good wine and good food have been prepared, and we can eat at the table after everyone is gathered.

About half a minute later, Sifan also returned from the school. Wenxin jumped up and down, and was dumbfounded for a moment when she saw so many people at home.

Zhao Jianjia smiled and said, "Wenxin, look who this is?"

Wenxin tilted her head and looked at Zhou Yuan, blinked her eyes, and then laughed and said, "It's Daddy!"

The "Dad" was shouted childishly and loudly, almost making Zhou Yuan cry.

He quickly picked up his girl, kissed her on the face, and said, "Good child, it's hard for you to remember your daddy after so long!"

This made Wenxin embarrassed, and she buried her head in his arms with a red face and didn't say anything.

Sister Xiong smiled and said, "Don't look at them, take your seats now, today is a big happy occasion."

Everyone was sitting down noisily, but Wen Xin was clinging to Zhou Yuan and refused to let go. It was obvious that after the joy of the first meeting, the little girl had entered a sentimental rhythm again, after all, they were together less and apart more.

Zhou Yuan certainly couldn't bear to part with her, so he hugged Wen Xin and said while eating, "Please understand, my daughter is close to me, you can't envy her."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.The surroundings were brightly lit, and the tables were bustling with people.

Wen Xin was very attached to Zhou Yuan, but it was obvious that she was just a child. After a while, she felt bored and wanted to go out to play.

Zhou Yuan then started drinking with Lao Wang, Guan Lu and others.

Speaking of the emotional part, even Guan Lu, who was so introverted, couldn't help but sigh: "When we first came to Shenjing, we lived in a small courtyard in the north of the city. It was only two doors, the place was narrow, but it had everything. We walked here step by step."

Zi Yuan couldn't help but say: "I asked you to plant the old locust tree in the yard! It was my idea!"

She was trying to show off.

But Zhang Fei scratched his head and said: "Yes, later I found out that the old locust tree was a bad omen..."

Zi Yuan's face suddenly fell, and she pouted and didn't say anything.

Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "Time flies. Almost five years have passed in a blink of an eye. We have achieved remarkable results."

Guan Lu said seriously, "We have just started. There is still a long way to go."

In this regard, he is more cautious and serious than Zhou Yuan.

Wang Ang picked up the wine glass and said, "It's a pity that Lao Xiong is not here. This guy is still guarding the city in the northwest. This cup is for him. I hope he returns home safely!"

After the toast, Zhou Yuan said, "Sister-in-law Xiong, I have inside information this time. Lao Xiong, the Earl of Keyi, will be promoted to Marquis of Keyi."

"Sister-in-law, you can't escape the title of First-class Imperial Concubine."

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Xiong was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She rubbed her hands and said, "This proves that I didn't misjudge him at the beginning!"

"When we got married, although he was a son-in-law, my father and mother were unwilling."

"Later, after I achieved success, my parents slowly accepted it all."

"Now... Hey! It's okay for my father to kowtow to Lao Xiong!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the whole room burst into filial piety.

Wang Ang couldn't help but say: "Sister Xiong, I have to say something for Lao Xiong. You are already a marquis. You can't have only one person in the family. People will look down on you."

Sister Xiong pouted, and then said: "Mind your own business. You are also meddling with us... But... Lao Xiong has performed well in the northwest. His Majesty even sent a female official to visit me. I am very happy."

"As for concubines, I have two cousins ​​who are not married yet. They are well-behaved and can enter the mansion. They can't treat Lao Xiong badly."

Zhao Jianjia said: "Sister Xiong, don't listen to Wang Ang's nonsense. It's not his turn to take care of such things."

"We women make the decisions about family affairs. Anyway, our Zhou family will definitely not have anyone else in the future."

Everyone looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan immediately sweated profusely and said loudly: "Jianjia's meaning is my meaning. I agree very much."

The waning moon was like a hook, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

In the courtyard of the palace, everyone talked about the past and the future, from national development to children's education. Later, when they were drunk, Zhang Fei even showed off a set of martial arts.

Then they talked about poetry, and Zhou Yuan was forced to copy a few wonderful ones to appease everyone.

He drank the most and was already six or seven points drunk. He just felt his hand being held by someone.

Turning his head, he found that Xiaoying was blinking and whispered: "Drink less, drinking too much will not be good for your health."

Zhou Yuan wiped her face lovingly and smiled: "Listen to my Xiaoying."

Xiaoying muttered: "Let that ugly uncle drink more, I think he is in high spirits."

Hahaha Xiaoying, you are the one who gave Guan Lu the nickname, and you are still talking nonsense.

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Okay! Xiaoying has the final say!"

In the bright lights, the two smiled at each other.

Looking at all this, Zhou Yuan knew that this was the human world he was looking for.
