"Is the ghost gone?" Zhao Yan smiled and said to Zhou Yu: "Then I can only wronged you to go back with me." ”

"Not aggrieved." Zhou Yu took her hand and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

"I'm hungry." Zhao Yan rolled her eyes and said, "I'll let them buy some wine and food, let's go back and eat." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Yu nodded in response.

Zhao Yan then commanded outside.

Zhou Yu reached out to hug her.

Zhao Yan dodged away and said with a smile: "There is sweat all over the body." ”

"You hate me." Zhou Yu frowned.

"It's not." Zhao Yan laughed: "We're both sweating, don't you dislike me?" ”

"I don't dislike it." Zhou Yu stubbornly hugged her again.

"If you don't dislike it, then you can hold it." Zhao Yan leaned on his arms senselessly.

The carriage drove all the way to Wanchen Courtyard and closed the gate, Zhou Yu took the lead in jumping down, turned around and hugged Zhao Yan.

"It's not easy." Zhao Yan smiled and sighed.

Zhou Yu instructed Leaf Wind: "Let them fetch hot water." ”

The two entered the house and bathed separately.

Zhao Yan crooked on the side of the couch: "I haven't been so active for a long time, I'm tired to death." ”

"I'll go to bed when I've eaten." Zhou Yu stood behind her, leaning over to wipe her hair.

"I kind of don't want to eat it." Zhao Yan was drowsy: "Give me the little quilt." ”

"No, eat and sleep." Zhou Yu didn't allow it.

Zhao Yan still has to speak.

"Girl." I poked my head at the door of the room: "I bought the wine and food." ”

"Come in." Zhao Yan commanded.

Zhou Yu divided the dishes and chopsticks, poured her fruit wine, and the two sat opposite each other and drank a few cups.

After Zhao Yan used the decoction, she went to bed and hugged her little quilt.

Zhou Yu leaned over to kiss her.

She kissed the corner of his lips in a rare perfunctory manner, and narrowed her eyes again.

If he was not tired, she would have haunted him like a fairy, making him want to stop.

Zhou Yu saw that she was really tired, and he couldn't bear to toss her, so he pulled the thin quilt over her and covered her, and didn't dare to sleep next to her.

Soon, Zhao Yan breathed evenly and fell asleep.

It's not dark outside, where can Zhou Yu sleep?

Tossing and turning in bed, and finally got out of bed barefoot, leaned back on the soft couch, and found a book to read.

"Girl." The Leaf was outside, calling tentatively.

"What?" Zhou Yu raised his eyes.

Hearing Zhou Yu's answer, Leaf Feng walked in: "Princess Yong sent a post." ”

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand.

Leaf handed the invitation with both hands.

Zhou Yu took it, unfolded it, and found that there was still an invitation inside.

He opened it all and looked at it, put it together and put it to the side: "You go down first, I'll tell her." ”

"Yes." Leaf bowed and withdrew.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Zhao Yan was still asleep, so she noticed Zhou Yu calling her in her ear: "Sister, sister." ”

"What ...... do" Zhao Yan slept in a daze, so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

"Yesterday, Princess Yong sent a post." Zhou Yu whispered in her ear.

Zhao Yan fell asleep again.

Zhou Yu patted her: "Auntie, wake up." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yan turned over, stretched her waist, and hugged him with both hands: "Sleep for a while, let's talk later......"

"I'm going to the morning court." Zhou Yu pinched her flawless little face: "Wake up quickly, I have something important to tell you." ”

Zhao Yan was a little sober: "You say." ”

"Princess Yong sent you a post last night." Zhou Yu said: "In seven or eight days, it will be the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and according to the convention, it is necessary to hold the Seven Niang Meeting." ”

The seventh day of the seventh month of July is also the Daughter's Festival in Dayuan, and at that time, the entire Dayuan market will be lively.

The Seven Niang Society, every year, the emperor personally appoints an official to run this meeting full-time.

They will choose a so-called "Qi Niang" among the unmarried daughters of large families in Dijing.

At that time, Qi Niang will dress up, be covered with all kinds of spices, stand on the top of a high float and parade the streets, throw coins and broken gold, and sprinkle blessings and tricks to the people.

It is the custom of getting rid of impurities and praying for blessings.

The daughter's family that is selected will be praised and win glory for the family.

There is even the possibility of entering the palace or marrying the prince, and the current crown princess has been a "seventh mother" before.

Even if you can't, the girls who have been "Seven Niangs" will have a good marriage in the future.

Therefore, every year before the Qi Niang meeting, these girls will compete for their heads and bleed, completely ignoring the usual sisterhood.

"What does it have to do with me?" Zhao Yan completely woke up and looked at him puzzled.

She has grown so big, and she has only seen the Qi Nianghui once.

When she was with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu took her to take a look.

She didn't like the noise and didn't have much interest in such gatherings, so she didn't go to see them since.

Zhou Yu raised his hand and wiped the corners of her eyes for her: "Princess Yong sent two posts last night."

One is the invitation for Qu Xiangfu to choose the "Qi Niang" banquet tomorrow, and the other is the invitation for Princess Yong to invite you to go together. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yan half stood up and looked at her: "Luo Jingzhi is afraid that I won't go to the banquet, so she added a post of hers?" ”

Indeed, she would not have gone to such a useless feast if it were not necessary.

"It should be." Zhou Yu nodded.

"What does she mean?" Zhao Yan frowned and thought.

"I want to take the opportunity to win you over? Tempting the relationship between you and me? Or harm you? Zhou Yu listed the three most likely scenarios in an instant.

"Now they're not sure if I have anything to do with you, so it shouldn't hurt me." Zhao Yan pondered and said, "The first two should be both.

There is no contradiction between wooing and temptation, and it is estimated that after the decision is confirmed, they will use me in other ways. ”

"Since Princess Yong has made this post, you have to go." Zhou Yu said.

"Hmm." Zhao Yan nodded.

Unless, she tears her face with Luo Jingzhi now, this trip is naturally indispensable.

After all, it was Princess Yong.

And she, judging from Zhou Yu, she is just the most unfavored concubine of the Huai'an Hou Mansion, how can she be qualified to refuse Princess Yong's invitation?

"Are you ready?" Zhou Yu was not at ease: "How many more people shall I send to you?" ”

"In front of everyone's eyes, can they still do anything to me?" Zhao Yan laughed: "It's enough for me to have a Leaf Style." ”

"If you choose 'Qi Niang', what will you do?" Zhou Yu asked her.

Zhao Yan smiled again: "How is it possible?" I've been with each other. ”

"As long as you are in the boudoir, you can't do it without explicitly prohibiting or leaving." Zhou Yu played with her soft little hands.

"If it's really chosen, this is a good opportunity to wash my reputation, then I'll go." Zhao Yan didn't take it seriously, still grinning.

How can it be?

If she is chosen, those nobles in the imperial capital will have to swallow her alive.

"I'm afraid they are premeditated and want to do something to you." Zhou Yu pondered and said: "Qu Xiang is the prince's person, Princess Yong is naturally the person of King Yong, she takes you to the banquet, it is a game between the two forces, you have to beware of her using you as a gunman."

You must be careful this time, neither of these forces can be underestimated. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yan yawned and let go of him: "Don't worry, you go to the morning court, I'll sleep for a while." ”

Zhou Yu kissed her smooth forehead and got out of bed to dress.

When he was dressed neatly, Zhao Yan remembered that his purse was still with her.

"Zhou Yu, wait a minute, I'll give you the purse." Zhao Yan said, took out the purse from under the pillow and handed it over.

She was dazed, her purse mouth was facing downward, and something was scattered.

She got up to pick it up, and saw that out of her purse were a few small and old pieces of silver, which looked to be many years old.

Falling down was a piece of paper half the size of a palm, on which was written the word "妩".

She picked it up and put it in her purse, and saw a little girl's portrait drawn on the back of the paper.

She only had time to see that the little girl looked delicate, her eyes were shining, she looked very young, and before she could take a closer look, she was taken away by Zhou Yu.

Zhao Yan laughed: "Sweetheart? I don't look very old. ”

Zhou Yu took a moment in his hand, glanced at her, and then stretched out the back of the paper to show her.

Zhao Yan took a closer look and understood that this small statue should have been many years ago, and the pages had been yellowed.

Zhou Yu put away his things without saying a word.

"Why didn't you look for her?" Zhao Yan asked curiously.

With Zhou Yu's status and status, it is not easy to find an old friend?

Don't you keep cherishing the small statue and not doing anything, right?

Also, this purse should have been given by the girl.

Zhou Yu saw that her expression was not abnormal, obviously she didn't care at all, and was silent for a moment before saying, "I found her, she doesn't like me." ”

"Tsk." When Zhao Yan heard this, she laughed in surprise.

Is there a woman in this world who can resist Zhou Yu?

Even her, although she said that it was a deal with Zhou Yu, she had to admit that she was actually a little greedy for Zhou Yu's beauty and body.
