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

Chapter 1208

Madam Xuesang did not say what specific resources she had, but only said that she could stabilize the situation at a critical moment.

This promise was enough for Zhou Yuan. He could not get anything out of it even if he pressed her, and he could not tell whether it was true or false.

Having the same path, the same direction, and a certain tacit understanding, this was already an unexpected gain.

"No one dares to search here."

Madam Xuesang said lightly: "Your Highness, please stay here with peace of mind. It's just that if you stay too long, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. If the situation does not progress, I will also fall into crisis."

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry, the situation will soon become clear, and I am very confident in this battle."

Madam Xuesang said: "But you don't seem to have many resources locally."

Zhou Yuan laughed and said softly: "But I am a little good at playing tricks."

Madam Xuesang also laughed and sighed: "Your Highness Wei Wang's wisdom is well known. I hope you will be in the Western Regions this time. . "

"I'll introduce you to my family tonight, a lovely little girl."

Zhou Yuan nodded, and suddenly raised his head again, wondering: "A lovely girl?"

Mrs. Xue Sang said: "Other relatives have their own ambitions, so they are unwilling to live with me, because I can't support their normal social life here, and no one wants to visit my yard."

"So only this girl accompanies me, she is my niece's daughter, fifteen years old this year."

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly, he saw that what Mrs. Xue Sang called introducing family members was essentially to do something for this little girl.

However, for a child of this age, the help they need is just some small things, and Zhou Yuan is not so ignorant, and he can still help with a little help.

He smiled lightly and chatted with Mrs. Xue Sang.

The old woman with crutches walked up slowly, looked at Zhou Yuan, and said: "Your inner strength is very deep, like the sea. Who is your master?"

You may not know him even if I tell you...

This old woman said that she has never met an opponent in the martial arts world for 70 years, so it is obvious that her so-called martial arts world is only in the Western Regions.

What masters can there be in the Western Regions... This place has no strong Buddhist and Taoist culture.

Now that he has achieved success in kung fu, Zhou Yuan can also judge that this old woman is at the level of Song Shanzi.

The Dharma King in his prime can beat her into a mummy.

Not to mention the Dharma King, even Wei Xiong, the Iron Sword of Cangzhou, can chop her into pieces.

Forget it, take care of her self-esteem.

Zhou Yuan said solemnly: "I practice the authentic secret method of Quanzhen Shenlong Dao. I practice hard every day to achieve today's achievements."

"Every day..."

Mrs. Xuesang couldn't help but wonder: "The prince is always very busy, how can he practice every day..."

Zhou Yuan said: "So it's every day, not every day..."

Mrs. Xuesang's brain is a little insufficient.

The old woman snorted: "Don't be arrogant. Tomorrow I will ask my master to come in person. If you can take ten moves from her hands, I will be convinced."

Ha, you are already eighty or ninety years old, half of your feet are in the coffin, and the master is still alive.

Zhou Yuan said: "I don't care whether you are convinced or not."

This sentence is enough to make people angry. The old woman choked directly, her face flushed, and she yelled arrogantly, then turned around and left.

Zhou Yuan didn't take her to heart. He just hoped that the whole city search would go over quickly so that he could find a way to rescue the second sister.

Mrs. Xuesang was generous after all. She arranged a dinner for Zhou Yuan and others and cooked a lot of local delicacies.

Zhou Yuan, who had been traveling for more than a month, had been craving for this bite for a long time, so he ate it very happily.

"Please urge the kitchen again... let them make more..."

Mrs. Xuesang couldn't help sweating on her face. Zhou Yuan was not scary, but the little girl next to him had a really big appetite.

A whole piece of lamb chop was eaten in a quarter of an hour.

Zhou Yuan was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Xiaoying... Xiaoying... slow down!"

"What did you say, brother..."

She said vaguely, holding a large piece of beef bone and chewing it fiercely. Although her mouth was small, her speed was really not slow.

Zhou Yuan said, "Eat slowly, don't choke..."

"But it's delicious!"

Xiaoying almost cried. She had been eating dry food for more than a month on the road, and now she could finally eat hot barbecue. She loved it very much.

Her mouth was full of oil, and she chewed the bones without raising her eyes.

Madam Xuesang said, "Your Majesty, your sister...has always had such a big appetite?"

Zhou Yuan coughed twice and said awkwardly, "Yes...she has always had a good appetite. Besides, she is my princess, not my sister. She is just used to calling me brother."

"Ah?"

Madam Xuesang was startled and couldn't help but said: "She...she is the princess? She looks only fifteen or sixteen years old...Your Highness..."

"No!"

Zhou Yuan resolutely refused to think too much and said immediately: "Misunderstanding! She just looks young, but she is actually twenty-three!"

"Understand..."

Madam Xuesang nodded hesitantly, thinking in her heart...The King of Wei would definitely not admit these things, but his taste is very clear.

What about liking old women in their fifties and sixties? This is obviously a rumor, and it is obviously false.

"Madam, Ayi is back."

Then there was another lively voice: "Grandma, I'm back!"

Along with the voice, a girl in ethnic costumes ran in quickly. Seeing a stranger, she was stunned for a moment and slowed down her pace.

Zhou Yuan was also a little stunned, and gradually widened his eyes.

At the age of fifteen, this girl is obviously more mature than the Han people. Her blue pupils are clear and deep, like the sea.

Her skin was as white and smooth as if soaked in milk, and it exuded a faint luster. She had a pretty nose, long eyelashes, and delicate facial features that looked like they were painted.

Zhou Yuan had seen some celebrities from the Western Regions in his previous life, but none of them could compare to the beauty, liveliness, and agility of this girl.

"The pearl of the Western Regions."

In an instant, Zhou Yuan thought of this sentence to describe her, and it was not enough.

It should be the Luoshen of the Western Regions.

"Little Ayi, come and sit down. Grandma will introduce you to two guests."

Madam Xuesang waved her hand, squinting and smiling meaningfully.

The little girl walked over in small steps, a little shy and a little curious.

She glanced at Zhou Yuan, then looked at Xiaoying, and found the bone she had gnawed next to her, and she couldn't help but open her mouth.

Madam Xuesang smiled and said, "This is... your... gentleman, um, the Han gentleman that grandma found for you, and this is your sister..."

When introducing a child, naturally you won't say anything about the King of Wei.

"Mr. Zhou, this is my niece's daughter, Ainizi. She is very cute, right?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Very cute and lively, like the stars in the night sky."

Mrs. Xuesang smiled with satisfaction and whispered, "Ainizi is very interested in Han culture. She can recite poems and songs, and knows a lot of history."

"But compared to Mr. Zhou, she is definitely far behind. I hope you can teach her more during this period."

Zhou Yuan looked at the little girl, while Ainizi tilted her head and looked at him, blinking her big eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Zhou, are you from the Central Plains?"

The Central Plains they mentioned refers to the Great Jin Dynasty.

Zhou Yuan said, "People from Jiangnan, living in Shenjing, have traveled to various places."

Ainizi's eyes lit up and she couldn't help asking, "There are many places in Jiangnan, the most famous of which are Yangzhou, Lin'an Prefecture, Suzhou and Jinling. Where are you from?"

It seems that she knows a lot.

Zhou Yuan said, "It's Yunzhou."

Ayinizi thought for a moment and then said, "Yunzhou with a Yun River?"

Ah? You even know this?

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "It seems you've read a lot of books."

Ayinizi raised her eyebrows and said with a giggle, "A lot! But not enough!"

She quickly became familiar with Zhou Yuan. She was an extrovert by nature, so she talked more and asked questions about everything. There were always endless questions, which made Zhou Yuan feel that she was knowledgeable.

It was not until Mrs. Xuesang urged her to rest that Ayinizi left reluctantly.

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Zhou. You need to tell me more about the Central Plains."

"See you tomorrow."

Zhou Yuan watched her leave, then pressed down and said, "Madam, what do you mean by this?"

Madam Xuesang whispered, "Ainizi is the smartest child I have ever seen, no one else. She has an excellent memory and is particularly curious about other parts of the world."

"Your Highness, the Western Regions today cannot tap her potential."

"I love her, I hope she is better, I hope you can help her and take her to the Imperial Academy in Shenjing to see a wider world."

Zhou Yuan snorted heavily, his face was not good.

Damn it, what do people think of me, Zhou Yuan!

Use this kind of trick every time!

This kind of trick has long been useless to me!
