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

Chapter 399

One cup after another of wine went down the drain.

Time disappeared moment by moment.

The full moon had risen, the light was bright, and the earth was covered with silver light. This world was so beautiful, at least it was beautiful at this moment.

Zhao Jianjia also drank two glasses of wine, her pretty face was a little flushed, and she whispered something to Ningyue.

For a while, the two of them covered their mouths and laughed, and then they looked at Zhou Yuan quietly, as if they were saying something.

Soon, Jianjia said with a smile: "Husband, I heard Ningyue say that when you were in Yunzhou, you wrote a poem "Magpie Bridge Fairy" for Sister Cai Ni."

Zhou Yuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "That's true, why are you suddenly talking about it now?"

Zhao Jianjia said: "You wrote a poem for Sister Cai Ni, but you didn't write one for us? Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, why not write a Mid-Autumn Festival poem!"

Chenxi and others' eyes also lit up. They all said that Zhou Yuan was good at fighting. In fact, his skill in writing lyrics was unmatched.

It's just that since he came to Shenjing, he has hardly written lyrics. These elegant things seem to have been reduced a lot.

After all... they don't know that in the outside world, "Man Jiang Hong" has spread throughout the capital.

"Mid-Autumn Festival poem?"

Zhou Yuan laughed. Mid-Autumn Festival poems are regarded as masterpieces by "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". They have always been the favorites of time travelers. They are always written at the most lively time, shocking the audience and making a name for themselves.

He had also thought about leaving this poem in a perfect occasion and making a splash.

It was not until now that he realized that the true core of this poem was never for the sake of showing off, but for the timeless artistic conception, sincere thoughts, and endless warmth.

"Yes, I have been in Shenjing for a year, and I haven't seen my father-in-law and mother-in-law for a long time. I will write a poem for them."

Zhou Yuan's gentle voice gradually calmed everyone's emotions.

Zhao Jianjia nodded and said, "I miss my father and mother too. Husband, when will we have the opportunity to go back to the south to see?"

"Soon, soon."

Zhou Yuan smiled, pondered, and murmured, "Write a "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" for them."

Everyone looked at Zhou Yuan, looking forward to it, and the maids in the outer courtyard also smelled the movement and gathered at the door to listen.

Zhou Yuan said in a clear voice: "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky, I wonder what year it is in the palace in heaven tonight."

"I want to ride the wind to go back, but I am afraid that the jade buildings are too cold up there. I get up to dance with my shadow, it's not like being in the human world."

This poem is full of beautiful sentences, with a unique structure, a unique way of thinking, a beautiful and elegant artistic conception, and a complex and circular sentence structure. It is full of romanticism without losing its charm, which immediately stunned Zhao Jianjia and others.

They suddenly realized that this poem might be the real work of their husbands from the heart.

"Turning around the red pavilion, lowering the beautiful window, shining on the sleepless. There should be no hatred, why does it always appear full when we are apart."

"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon has waxing and waning. This has been difficult to achieve since ancient times. I wish you a long life, and we can share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart."

After the poem was read, there was silence, only the full moon was hanging high, and only the silver light was everywhere.

Everyone was already stunned, immersed in the artistic conception of the words, unable to extricate themselves.

Many good words require reading and literacy to appreciate their charm.

But this poem does not need to be so. As long as you are a normal person, you can feel the beauty of the flow just by listening to the sentences.

I don’t know how long it took before Zhao Jianjia said in a trembling voice: "Ziyuan, Ziyuan, go get paper and pen, write it down, you have to write it down."

"Oh, I'll go now!"

Ziyuan hurried to the study to find paper and pen, her heartbeat was accelerating.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need to be so exaggerated, it's nothing more than expressing the feelings at the moment."

Mrs. Xue said, "Ziyi, your aunt doesn't understand poetry and hasn't read many books, but she still thinks your lyrics are good."

"Your uncle was often away fighting when he was young, so Ningyue and I stayed at home. It's said to be free, but it's a bit desolate."

Speaking of this, she took Ningyue's hand and sighed, "Your mother married a military general, and now you marry another military general, but you are better than your mother. The husband you found is both civil and military, and he is considerate."

Such sentimental words made Xue Ningyue's eyes full of tears.

She was an emotional person, so how could she withstand such sentimentality.

"Ziyi."

Mrs. Xue's tone was also a little choked, and she took Zhou Yuan's hand.

She forced a smile and whispered, "You are a good child, young and promising, both civil and military, and you have such great abilities..."

"Ningyue follows you, and I, as a mother, feel relieved."

Xue Ningyue whispered, "Mother..."

Mrs. Xue sighed and murmured, "I am old now, not like when I was young. I used to be smart and capable, and I could help the master manage the mansion, control the servants, and be responsible for the expenses.Xiang, and can take care of Ningyue to grow up. "

"I am proud of it, but I have also slowly fallen into it. If there is something wrong at home, I will be anxious and feel that I have not done it well. "

"Ningyue, last year about the Xu family, it was my mother's fault. I am sorry for you and almost hurt you. "

Xue Ningyue cried hurriedly: "Mom, don't say it, Ningyue didn't blame you..."

Mrs. Xue looked at Zhou Yuan again and said with emotion: "Ziyi, auntie also wants to thank you, thank you for saving Ningyue, otherwise I will never be at peace in my life."

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Auntie, those are all past events, people still have to look forward, now uncle is guarding Xuanfu, the Xue family has regained its glory, and everything is getting better. "

Mrs. Xue smiled and nodded, then slowly placed Xue Ningyue's hand on Zhou Yuan's.

She held their hands together and choked up, saying, "Ziyi, Auntie has given Ningyue to you. She is introverted and not good at speaking, but she is a gentle child who knows how to care for others. You must treat her well."

Zhou Yuan looked serious and said word by word, "Please rest assured, Auntie, Zhou Yuan will never let Ningyue down and will take care of her for the rest of her life. "

Xue Ningyue burst into tears, hugged Zhou Yuan's arm, and cried.

This night, after all, is over.

The knot in the past must be untied.

The dilemma in the future must be faced.

Zhou Yuan wanted to cherish everything in front of him. He was too emotional tonight.

Perhaps it was because... he had a bad premonition.

The conspiracy of marriage could not be solved. How could one counter the opponent's careful planning?

He was very uneasy, but what was coming came back.

After taking care of everyone and arranging them to sleep, Zhou Yuan came to the study alone and wrote a letter.

The content was just the "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" written tonight. After carefully folding it, Zhou Yuan whispered: "Guan Lu, send someone to send it to the Qu family in Jinling."

Guan Lu immediately said: "I understand, and I must hand it to Miss Qu Ling in person."

Zhou Yuan sighed and said: "I promised to go to see her, but now it's Mid-Autumn Festival, and I still didn't do it. "

"Alas, Guan Lu, you and Zhang Fei's family members should arrange to return to Yunzhou, and leave tomorrow."

Guan Lu's figure was shocked, he raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, is something really going to happen?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "I have a strong premonition. Although I don't know what will happen, I still need to make more preparations."

"You and Zhang Fei take your families back to Yunzhou and hide for a while."

Guan Lu's face changed immediately after hearing this, and he fell to his knees on the ground.

He said in a deep voice: "My lord, your kindness to Guan Lu is as great as a mountain. How can I escape and abandon you?"

"Tomorrow, Zhang Fei and I will send off my wife and children, and then stay to help you. Even if we die, we will not refuse."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's not a matter of life and death yet. If you leave, I may be able to let go. "

Guan Lu said solemnly: "My Lord, if you want me to leave, I can only die in front of you to repay you."

"Stubborn donkey."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "After sending my wife and children away, gather all your strength to protect the mansion."

"If something happens, immediately cooperate with the inner guards to transfer Jianjia and the others, understand?"

Guan Lu immediately clasped his fists and said: "My Lord, don't worry, I will protect the lady even if I die!"

Zhou Yuan nodded, looked at the full moon outside the window, and said nothing for a long time.

It is a bit difficult to wish for a long life.
