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

The situation of the people in the northwest is not an isolated case, but a common one. This also shows that there are various difficulties in promoting the new law. Even experienced officials find it difficult to grasp the scale.

Zhuang Xuansu did not make any big mistakes. She just subconsciously thought that everyone in the world understood the law and was reasonable.

In fact, the people in the world are not enlightened. Most people are still illiterate and do not consider the consequences of their actions.

If the wind really blows, no matter who you are, you will be killed.

"You have a new mission."

Zhou Yuan looked at her and smiled, "Do me a favor."

Zhuang Xuansu asked in confusion, "What?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Spread out the female officials of the Inner Court, collect the difficulties and contradictions in promoting the new law in all provinces of Dajin, and summarize them into a book. I want to grasp these specific problems, analyze them and draw conclusions, and then issue a brand new guiding rules for the local officials responsible for the implementation of the new law."

"I will give you the identity of an imperial envoy and let you lead the Inner Court and Jinyiwei, so that there will be enough manpower and resources."

Zhuang Xuansu said dissatisfiedly, "Can't His Majesty give it to me? You must be the one to make the decision."

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have to be so sensitive? His Majesty and I are now a family, we are no different, and you are still picking on these problems."

Zhuang Xuansu whispered, "It's still different. His Majesty is His Majesty, and you are you..."

Seeing Zhou Yuan's unhappy face, she quickly added: "You should always save some face for His Majesty. She has been..."

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Yuan knew what she was going to say without guessing, so he quickly interrupted: "I understand. I will inform His Majesty about this matter. She should be happy to have a loyal minister like you."

Zhuang Xuansu then smiled and said: "Of course, the foundation of our Inner Court Department is absolute loyalty to His Majesty."

Zhou Yuan looked at her and squinted his eyes and said: "But you are not absolutely loyal."

"How can this be!"

As if touching on what she cares about most, Zhuang Xuansu shouted: "I have no second thoughts about His Majesty, and I am absolutely not unfaithful."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "His Majesty asked you to serve me well and serve me when necessary, but you didn't do it."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xuansu's face instantly turned red and he subconsciously moved his butt.

She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty didn't say that..."

Zhou Yuan sat down with her, held her hand, and said, "Whether she meant that or not, you should know it in your heart. As a close confidant of His Majesty, you have the ability to guess His Majesty's intentions."

Zhuang Xuansu lowered her head and dared not speak. Her body was trembling slightly. It can be seen that she was very nervous.

Zhou Yuan stroked the back of her fair hand and said slowly: "Xuansu, do you remember what happened in Yangzhou three years ago?"

Zhuang Xuansu said: "I don't remember."

"How can you pretend to be confused? I will help you recall."

Zhou Yuan said: "You said that as long as I go back to Shenjing with you, you will listen to me and give me everything."

"You said that you are not young anymore and you also have needs, but you are afraid of delaying your business. It's just right that you can be with me. It will not delay your business and can also meet your needs..."

"But you broke your promise. You won't let me touch you."

Zhuang Xuansu got angry for a moment, raised her head, and couldn't help saying: "You are so heartless. How much have you taken advantage of me?"

"In the carriage to the palace, you hugged and kissed me, and didn't let me go in front of my sister, but now you say you didn't even touch me."

"If you have the ability... don't touch me forever!"

Seeing her resentful, shy and angry look, Zhou Yuan's mood suddenly improved.

He laughed and said, "Oh... So some people still remember these things. Maybe they are impatient and are angry now."

Zhuang Xuansu shook his hand away and said, "Who is impatient! Who cares about you! If I didn't have too many things to do and no time, I would have found other lovers long ago!"

"Who are you... You don't need someone like me, and I'm not a beauty... Ah! Ah you!"

"What are you doing!"

She was halfway through her words when Zhou Yuan pulled her into his arms.

Her head rested on Zhou Yuan's chest. She was very nervous. She raised her eyes and trembled and said, "You, don't mess around... I... I didn't... I didn't agree..."

Zhou Yuan kissed her on the face and whispered, "We should have done this a long time ago. Blame me."

Zhuang Xuansu covered her face directly, and her ears were red.

Zhou Yuan said: "I should have taken care of our relationship and led our relationship to progress, so that you wouldn't have to worry about gains and losses and sleepless nights."

"I'm always too busy, always have a lot of things to worry about, always have a hard time seeing you, put it on hold again and again, and made you wait for three years. "

"During this trip to the Western Regions, I understood a lot of things. I want to hold on to what I should hold in my hands."

Zhuang Xuansu said anxiously: "Who is worried about gains and losses? Who is worried about day and night? I don't think so much about love affairs."

Zhou Yuan looked down at her eyes and said seriously: "I think we should go further. What do you think? If you don't mean to, I'll wait for you."

Zhuang Xuansu was numb all over by being looked at. She bit her lower lip, suddenly stood up and hugged Zhou Yuan's neck and kissed him hard.

She seemed to have exhausted her strength and panted: "Yes, we should have done this a long time ago!"

"But you are a bastard, you only care about flirting with other women, but you don't care that I have waited for you for three years."

"Now, you still want me to choose."

"How should I choose? Isn't that your decision? Bite you to death! "

She bit Zhou Yuan's neck, leaving a deep tooth mark.

Zhou Yuan felt the pain and picked her up and walked directly to the inner room.

Zhuang Xuansu hugged his neck and whispered in his ear: "It should have been like this a long time ago. I don't like to make choices by myself. I like to have no choice. "

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and understood.

It turned out that Master Zhuang and Qing Yuan were of the same kind, but she was more deep and introverted, and less likely to be conquered.

The door was locked, and no one knew what kind of sparks would be touched by two people who had suppressed their emotions for a long time.

The land of the northwest is magnificent, and the harder it hits, the more beautiful it will be.

The setting sun is like blood, and the sky is half red.

Night falls, and there are stars again.

The wind in the northwest is whistling, and the air is sobbing, as if the sky is roaring, like the heavy breath of the earth.

The moonlight illuminates this vast land, which has big rivers and deep canyons, here are uplifted mountains, and there are undulating contours.

And the hardworking and kind people have set foot on almost every inch of land here.

So what is the greatness of the northwest? Is it the mountains, the wind, the steep cliffs, or the bone-chilling cold?

None of them, it is the hardworking and simple people here, and the people who have conquered the mountains and deep ravines.
