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

Chapter 1225

Dark night, dim light.

The Buddha statue is solemn, but it looks kind and benevolent when you look closely.

There is no incense, only some ashes on the floor.

Second Senior Sister is very thin, her thin shoulders are shaking slightly, she bears a lot of weight, and she is almost unable to hold on.

Zhou Yuan felt everything, he is a careful person, he knows that Second Senior Sister has changed a lot.

In the past, she must quarrel with me and bicker with me.

She is always not so obedient, and wants to go against me, which is completely opposite to Ningyue.

She never says love words, those mushy things always make her uncomfortable.

Everyone has a unique personality. Second Senior Sister is an orphan who grew up in a Taoist temple. At that time, the master advocated the way of forgetting emotions.

In such an environment, she has long been accustomed to silence and hiding all her thoughts in her heart, just like the master.

Today she said everything.

She actually said love.

She actually said mutual achievement.

Because of vulnerability.

When Ye Qingying was at her most vulnerable, her emotions, rationality and self-restraint were all on the verge of a crisis.

So when she saw Zhou Yuan again, she took the initiative to approach him and said those so-called love words.

Such love words were not so grand, Cai Ni could say such words for half an hour every day.

But who knew that these seemingly simple love words carried all of Ye Qingying's emotions.

Only when she was in this state could she say such words.

Zhou Yuan understood her.

Understand her changes and what she needs now.

"I'm here, leave everything to me."

He hugged Ye Qingying, gently stroked her hair, and said in a deep voice: "The monks are not scary, the situation in the Western Regions is not scary, I can handle it well, you should rest."

Ye Qingying nestled in his arms and said "um" softly.

She didn't look up, nor did she let go of Zhou Yuan. She just whispered, "I... I thought I didn't need to rely on you. I always wanted to prove that I was excellent."

Zhou Yuan said, "No..."

"Yes!"

Ye Qingying interrupted him and suddenly grabbed his hand.

She didn't dare to look up, but her voice was a little urgent: "I need it! I'm not Zhao Jianjia and Qu Ling, who have such an outstanding family... I'm not Xue Ningyue, I can't be so gentle... I'm not Cai Ni, so beautiful, so talented..."

Her voice became lower and lower, choking and murmuring: "Everyone has flaws, which is understandable, but I seem to have too many flaws... I'm impatient, violent, not very good at speaking, not delicate enough, and can't care about people well..."

"I always have to have my own value, right? I don't want to be compared to others!"

"I can have nothing, I don't care about those, but I always have to have a little place in your heart."

"I can't be nothing, just relying on you to think I'm pretty, just relying on a little fate between you and me, and living a muddled life like this, then sooner or later you will get tired of me."

Zhou Yuan was silent.

Ye Qingying smiled bitterly and said, "I did the right thing, didn't I? I am irreplaceable. I helped you a lot. Although it was hard, you felt guilty and owed me, and loved me more..."

"My choice was not wrong."

"Without these experiences, I would not be so clear about my feelings, I would not love you so much, and similarly, you would not love me so much."

"My curiosity and my ambition have finally made me who I am today, and also made our current relationship."

Zhou Yuan said, "I understand your thoughts, but Second Senior Sister, I don't have so many demands in terms of feelings. I always think that as long as we like each other, we can be together, and we don't need to consider the so-called matching..."

Ye Qingying said, "Yes, you think so. Xue Ningyue knows it, Cai Ni knows it even more, and we all know it."

"But I am me, I am not anyone else."

"I want to have my own value, not only for you, but also for my own pursuit."

"Such a pursuit was established earlier, before you."

She raised her head, with tears scattered on her thin face.

She laughed, reached out and stroked Zhou Yuan's face, whispering: "She is not gentle, has no talent for poetry, can't sing or dance, and has no prominent family. She is impatient, irritable, strong, always likes to go against you, and has her own paranoid side to feelings..."

"This is Ye Qingying, this is your second senior sister."

"Would you like such a person?"

Zhou Yuan held her face, wiped away the tears on her face, and said seriously: "I like her very much."

Ye Qingying laughed and said: "See, I said it, right, the ups and downsTo love, it is like a strong wind to a flame, destroying only the fragile but strengthening the strong.

"Our feelings have become stronger and more vigorous after the ups and downs."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I can't argue with you. Who made me really owe you, feel guilty and love you?"

"My second sister has not been so gentle since the day I met her."

"She detained me in court, put a knife on my neck, and said she would break my legs..."

"But I still like her. I like Ye Qingying like that, heroic, free and decisive, with a strong feminine beauty."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan paused slightly and said: "So I have to say seriously that you have made great progress in these years. You are excellent. You are one of the most outstanding intelligence workers in Dajin. The achievements you have made are extraordinary and worth remembering. ”

“Western Region, I hope you can continue to help me, assist me, solve everything here, and make it better.”

“Second Senior Sister, let us continue to fight side by side in the Western Region!”

Ye Qingying’s eyes turned around, and she couldn’t suppress the smile on her face. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she turned her head away with a pout, humming: “Just the Western Region? There are so many big things to do in the future, are you afraid that I will hold you back?”

Zhou Yuan said: “Of course not, in addition to the Western Region, there are countless difficulties in the future ocean trade, maritime military struggles, and the rise of the Great Jin Dynasty. I hope you will fight side by side with me.”

Ye Qingying said: “That’s more like it, I’ll promise you for the time being. "

Speaking of this, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But at the same time, her stomach made another sound.

Her smile stopped.

Raised her head, looked at Zhou Yuan aggrievedly, and whispered: "I'm so hungry..."

At this moment, Zhou Yuan's heart was broken.

"I'm also very tired... I hate myself now that I'm dirty..."

"I'm afraid of not seeing you, afraid that my sisters will get into trouble, afraid that I'll miss the big things in the Western Regions..."

"Junior brother, your second sister is stubborn and strong, but she always gives in for you."

"Help me solve the trouble here, I've had enough."

Zhou Yuan held her hand tightly, his eyes blazing with anger.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Leave it to me! I'll make those bald donkeys pay the price!"

"Let's go! Let's go out now! Meet those old bald donkeys!"
