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

Chapter 1028

Ningyue's proposal to go south made everyone feel a little heavy. Qu Ling no longer had the mind to arrange the program, and kept telling Ningyue something.

In her opinion, Ningyue was the one who needed to be cared for and worried about the most, because she was weak-willed, had no opinions, and had little experience.

It must be very difficult to suddenly do such a big thing and organize thousands of people.

Even Qu Ling wanted to accompany her personally.

But Ningyue still declined and whispered: "Sister Qu Ling, I know you are good to me, but you also have your own things to do."

"I don't have much experience, but I will stick to it. If I encounter difficulties, I will ask for help from everyone and will never be stubborn."

Qu Ling sighed and could only nod helplessly, then stared at Zhou Yuan and scolded: "Look at what you do every day, talk less about reason, do more exciting and happy things, this is life!"

Zhou Yuan gave a thumbs up. Of course, he thought Qu Ling was right, but Qu Ling was mature enough and recognized life, so she would be happy to enjoy life, while Ningyue and the others obviously still had a long way to go.

In any case, there was no show tonight, and Qu Ling pulled Ningyue to talk in private.

Mo Xiang and Zi Yuan seemed to be frightened by Zhou Yuan, and they refused to stay alone with Zhou Yuan no matter what.

In fact, Zhou Yuan didn't plan to continue the show. He wanted to chat with Jianjia. He saw that Jianjia was a little depressed.

After soaking in the warm bath comfortably, Zhou Yuan shamelessly hugged Jianjia, and the two went to a separate warm bath and had a good time.

After the event, Jianjia seemed to be much more relaxed, with a flushed face. She lay in Zhou Yuan's arms and let Zhou Yuan play with her soft flesh.

She just panted slightly, and said with satisfaction and tiredness: "Ningyue is going south, and the task is quite big. Will you send someone to help her? I'm worried that she can't handle it."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "I'm too busy with my own affairs, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to help her, let her do it herself."

"I don't have any hope whether she can do it well or not, I just hope she can insist on sitting down."

"You also know that Ningyue is very empty, and she has finally found her own way."

Zhao Jianjia smiled lightly and sighed: "Of course I'm happy for her, because I haven't seen Ningyue so happy and so passionate to do something for a long time."

Zhou Yuan turned her face around, gently wiped the water drops on her face, and kissed her on the forehead.

Such an affectionate gesture made Zhao Jianjia's heart full of tenderness, and she whispered: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Ningyue found her own thing, what about you?"

Zhao Jianjia opened her mouth and wanted to say that she was fine, but when she saw Zhou Yuan's serious eyes, she realized that she couldn't hide it from him at all.

So she smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I can't get excited about anything now."

"It sounds good to manage a palace, but it seems that I don't need to do anything at all."

"Take care of Wenxin? This may be a reason, but I feel empty inside."

"I want to be a teacher in the Imperial Academy, but the embarrassing thing is that those students are better than me. What can I teach others?"

Zhou Yuan looked at her and squinted and said, "Who told you that those students are better than you?"

Zhao Jianjia said, "They are all geniuses from various provinces. Everyone can recite poems and write essays. They can easily come up with sage theories. The teachers there are great scholars like Shen Qiaoshan. How can I be worthy..."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Who told you that there are only male students in the Imperial Academy? You can't teach those Tianci, but can't you teach those ladies?"

This sentence made Zhao Jianjia stunned.

If the Imperial Academy wants to open a female class... then...

She is the most talented woman in Yunzhou, proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting. At least among women, there are very few who can compare with her.

It would be easy to teach a girl like Cai Xi.

Zhao Jianjia hesitated, but nodded and said, "Then I can try. I'm a little interested, but not too much."

Zhou Yuan pinched her face and said, "Jianjia, you have to be patient."

Zhao Jianjia tilted her head and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Finding yourself is not an easy thing. Most people can't find where they are in their lives, let alone where they should go."

"You are only 23 years old, and your life has just begun. Don't keep putting pressure on yourself because of some things happening around you, as if you can't live without finding an answer."

"Be more patient, take your time, the world is changing every day now, and you will suddenly find yourself one day."

Zhao Jianjia pondered for a long time before looking up and smiling, "You are still good at comforting people, at least thisThese words made me feel much better. I really don't need to be so anxious. "

She leaned on Zhou Yuan's arms and said softly: "It's just that Ningyue's sudden epiphany made me a little nervous. In front of you, or in this family, I seem to be less and less outstanding and less and less distinctive. "

"Although she is the so-called queen, she doesn't seem so pleasing. "

Zhou Yuan handed her the kettle beside him and said with a smile: "Drink a sip of water first."

Zhao Jianjia took a sip, but her eyes lit up and said: "Hey? Did Ziyuan prepare sour plum soup? It seems to be iced and delicious. "

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Delicious? Okay, then you will drink sour plum soup in the future, not water."

Zhao Jianjia asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Yuan put down the kettle and said softly: "When there are all kinds of delicious drinks, most people don't like plain water. ”

“Clear water has no taste and no characteristics, but can people really leave it?”

Zhao Jianjia fell silent.

Zhou Yuan said: “You have no advantages? How is it possible? You take care of such a large palace, you can take care of Xiaoying giving birth, you can detect Ningyue’s bad mood, you can take the initiative to make friends with Qinshui and Bishui, making the two families close, and even notice that the goddaughter of the Holy Mother Sister has not been named yet…”

“Moisturizing everything, without making a sound, this is water, this is you, and this is why everyone respects you and treats you as a sister.”

“Look at how arrogant Qu Ling is, how noble her background is, and how she is four years older than you, but she still calls me sister obediently.”

Zhao Jianjia looked at him and couldn’t help laughing: “To comfort me, deliberately praise me?”

Zhou Yuan said: “Just tell me if I am right, right? I generally don’t praise people randomly, there are facts to support my praise. "

Zhao Jianjia was obviously in a much happier mood, tilting her head and saying, "It's comfortable to listen to it anyway, and there's a feeling of being recognized."

"It's normal for me to feel a sense of crisis. Qu Ling is so playful, Ning Yue is so well-behaved and lovable, Cai Ni is so beautiful and versatile, Xiao Ying is also cute, and I'm the only one who's so ordinary..."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "Be yourself, the other roles have been occupied by others."

"In my heart, you are clear water."

"Don't compare it to wine, vinegar, juice, or salty salt water."

"People who are really thirsty will understand the weight of clear water."

"And clear water will also know where it is at the right time."

Zhao Jianjia lifted her little feet and fiddled with the warm soup, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised and a smile on her face.

She was in high spirits and hummed softly, "Anyway, you always have these weird metaphors, and you always have endless truths to say, and you can make people happy. "

"Anyway, I feel much better. At least I don't feel lost anymore."

"As for what to do in the future, that's another story. Let's talk about it later."

"But I'm still very happy. It turns out that I hold such a high position in your heart. I thought you had already lost interest in me..."

"Hmm? Why don't you say anything?"

She looked back at Zhou Yuan, and then followed Zhou Yuan's gaze and saw her jade feet.

"What are you doing..."

Zhao Jianjia suddenly had a bad premonition and quickly retracted her feet into the water.

Zhou Yuan swallowed and said, "Jianjia...Did Bai Xue tell you..."

"No!"

Zhao Jianjia interrupted him.

Zhou Yuan laughed, "I haven't said anything yet, and you haven't said anything yet. "

Zhao Jianjia snorted, but couldn't help laughing, and whispered: "Since you've tried so hard to make me happy... well... I'll let you be proud of yourself!"

She lifted her jade feet, and the water drops rolled down her fair skin, and her feet seemed to become crystal clear.
