At this time, Zu An didn't know everything that happened in the palace. He was very happy at this time, not only meeting his old friends, but also solving Zheng Dan's practice problem, especially since Chu Chuyan took the initiative to solve it.
When I'm in a good mood, I feel happier chatting with the Xie siblings.
Everyone recalled interesting things about Mingyue City in the past and talked about things they encountered during practice, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Only Xie Daoyun seemed to have something on his mind. He smiled happily on the surface, but his expression was particularly lonely when no one was paying attention.
After Zu An and the two left, looking at Xie Daoyun in a daze, Xie Xiu, who had always been frivolous, suddenly became serious: "Sister, don't look at it. Brother Zu is a good man, but he is by no means a good match for women. Don't worry about him anymore, Fei A moth flying into a flame only adds to the sadness.”
As an outstanding person like my sister, with a good family background, and her connections in the academy, she is normally qualified to marry into the top wealthy family and become a wife, but she has to go to Zu An. Which of the women around him is not outstanding? It makes people question life. Is my sister willing to become a concubine?
Xie Daoyun suddenly jumped up like a frightened rabbit, his face flushed with embarrassment, "Who said I like him? You are a little kid who has had a lot of affairs yourself, but you still have the nerve to teach others a lesson."
As he spoke, he grabbed Xie Xiu's ear again, which caused Xie Xiu to beg for mercy again and again. He didn't understand why his sister practiced this move so quickly and accurately that he couldn't even avoid it.
…
On the other hand, after Zu An left, he visited Shen Xuzi and other acquaintances before leaving the academy.
On the way back, Chu Chuyan said with emotion: "Hey, I realize that I really don't understand you. I didn't expect that you have such vast knowledge. Even the gentlemen in the academy want to ask you for advice."
Zu An smiled slightly: "Do you feel like you have found a treasure?"
"Yes, I found a treasure. It seems that my life is also good." Seeing that her lover was respected in the National College, Chu Chuyan was happy from the bottom of her heart, and her face, which was always frosty and frosty, also had a smile on her face. .
Zu An was dumbfounded and couldn't help but sigh: "You look so beautiful when you smile."
Chu Chuyan's fair skin had a hint of cloud color: "Then make me laugh more in the future, and don't make me cry."
Zu An was startled, feeling that this sentence seemed to mean something.
While he was thinking, Chu Chuyan's cold little hand had already taken the initiative to hold his, and asked him about what he had seen and heard about the demon clan.
Unknowingly, the two came to Sang's house. After visiting the injured Sang Hong, they allowed Zheng Dan to join the eldest disciple Yan Xiangu's disciple with the sacrificial wine.
This shocked everyone in the Sang Mansion. Even though Sang Hong was an imperial envoy and was once the Minister of Duzhi, in terms of reputation and cultivation, he was far inferior to Yan Xiangu.
Yan Xiangu was the founding disciple of Jijiu. According to legend, his cultivation was the best among all his direct disciples, and his attainments in rune formations were even better than those of others.
Many rune formations in the entire empire's army, government, and even the palace were created by him. If you can become his disciple, you can imagine how bright your future is.
Zheng Dan couldn't help but hugged Chu Chuyan, her voice choked with sobs: "Sister, thank you."
She didn't know how envious she was when she knew that Xie Daoyun could join Yan Xiangu's family.
She thought her qualifications were as good as anyone's, but she came from a merchant's family, and her background was far inferior to that of a wealthy family like the Xie family.
In addition, after marrying into the Sang family, something happened to the Sang family before she could get married, and her fiancé also died. With all these things combined, she had long been discouraged. Who would have expected that she would be able to take a step forward in her spiritual practice now.
Seeing the two of them being so close, Sang Qian couldn't help but feel a little jealous, thinking that Chu Chuyan was so clever. With just one move, she completely won over her sister-in-law and bound her to the same camp.
I have worked hard for so long, and if I want to form an alliance with my sister-in-law, I am afraid that the effect may not be as good as that of the other party.
However, she quickly stopped laughing. No one knew about her relationship with Zu An, so she certainly didn't do it deliberately to poach people. She was really judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
Chu Chuyan couldn't stand Zheng Dan's enthusiasm. She broke free from her arms and said, "Actually, I'm not the only one who cares about you. Azu has always been concerned about your future. If I hadn't spoken today, I think he would have come too." You will find a way to find the sacrificial wine, right Azu?"
Zu An smiled coquettishly, but he didn't expect her to see through his thoughts.
She just has a cold temperament, but she is not stupid. She knows many things well.
Zheng Dan felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Sang family. Although the Sang family had long been integrated with Zu'an, she still felt a little weird in front of Sang Hong.
"We will find a time to send you to the academy to hold the apprenticeship ceremony some other day. Moreover, Xie Daoyun is also your senior sister. We are all acquaintances and will take care of you in the future." Zu An said to Zheng Dan.
Zheng Dan hummed, then looked at Sang Hong for permission.
Sang Hong felt comfortable in his heart. This Zheng Dan really has a delicate heart. He also cares about my face in this situation, so he smiled and said: "This is a great thing. How can I stop it? I will go with you when the time comes." Please pay my respects to Mr. Yan. I have been living in the capital for so many years. Although I have made countless enemies, I have also left a bit of a reputation. I once exchanged letters with Mr. Yan, and we have a bit of friendship. It would be good to go and catch up with her. "
Zheng Dan breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a casual remark while offering wine, she didn't know whether Yan Xiangu would be interested in her, a disciple who suddenly joined the class. With this kind of connection, she would obviously have a lot less worry in the future.
Chu Chuyan originally wanted to leave Zu An and live in a world of two, but the Sang family couldn't let them go, so they kept them at home for a dinner to express their gratitude.
The two couldn't refuse, so they stayed at Sang's house. It was already late when they returned home.
"Azu, is Miss Sang feeling unwell?" Chu Chuyan recalled that Sang Qian left the table several times during the dinner and seemed to have some symptoms of vomiting. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "If it weren't for her not being married yet, I would I thought she was pregnant."
Zu An suddenly broke into sweat. How could he explain this? He couldn't just say "Yes, we have a child", right?
Then the harmonious and warm atmosphere that the two of them have managed to cultivate in the past few days is not an instant Shura field.
"Perhaps Sang Hong had an accident some time ago and she was worried about getting sick." After giving a vague answer, Zu An changed the subject.
Fortunately, Chu Chuyan didn't think too much. After the two of them finished washing, they soon came to the exciting part.
Chu Chuyan was a little embarrassed. Although the two were already married, they were only a couple in name in the early days. Later, when their relationship matured, they spent less time together and more apart. Speaking of which, when the two were intimate, they were either healing their wounds or healing their wounds. On the road, they did not lead a serious life as a couple.
A few days ago, the two of them were sitting on the balcony enjoying the moon and chatting, and fell asleep without realizing it, but today they obviously couldn't escape.
Like a young girl, she silently wrapped herself in quilt and huddled in the corner, her heart really beating fast.
Seeing her shy look, Zu An suddenly burst into laughter, and got into bed with three clicks.
"Don't make trouble, it's itchy~" Chu Chuyan's voice was no longer as cold as usual, but had a touch of human fireworks.
Zu An did not answer. He had no time to do anything else at the moment.
The sun is shining high and the icebergs are melting.
With a fairy chant that seemed to come from the clouds, the two of them completely regained their familiarity with each other.
"You are still so warm~" Zu An couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Chuyan was so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself. She slapped the man on her body with a sneer, and then called for the storm.
…
In the next few days, the situation in the capital changed. Originally, King Qi had been given an ultimatum by the court to return to his fiefdom and join the country. Who knew that he suddenly fell ill on the day of his departure.
With his level of cultivation, no one believed that he would catch a cold or something like that, but soon news came that there seemed to be something wrong with his practice, which put him at risk of becoming possessed and he fainted inexplicably several times. .
Therefore, it seems that it is impossible to leave now, and the matter can only be put on hold temporarily. Of course, King Qi can no longer appear in the court. The power of their faction is no longer as powerful as before, and everyone can see that it is about to fall apart.
On this day, Zu An was summoned into the palace by the emperor. Zhao Hao went straight to the point: "I need you to go out of the capital to do something."
