Chapter 141 Woman
Zilanxuan.
The high pavilion faces the lake, and the breeze blows slowly.
The night fire seemed more and more intoxicated by the music, singing and dancing, but the small pavilion was very peaceful.
We are obviously in the same place, but it seems like two worlds.
Zhao Shuang was leaning on the railing, holding a wine bottle in his hand, when he saw Zi Nu walking in carrying a plate.
Zhao Shuang slowly walked into the attic from outside the pavilion and saw Zi Nu placing the exquisite dishes and pastries on the table on the table.
"You've been here in Xianyang for so many days and you're all done?"
A smile appeared on Zi Nu's face, she glanced at Zhao Shuang and asked.
The caravan from Donghu returned to Xianyang and brought many precious goods, all of which were sold by Zhao Shuang these days.
"this is for you."
Zhao Shuang took out a huge east bead from his sleeve and handed it to Zi Nu.
"This pearl is really special!"
Zi Nu felt happy and took it. Zi Nu has seen a lot of treasures, but she has never seen such a big pearl.
Zi Nu was about to say something, but suddenly turned her head.
The door opened and Wei Zhuang came out, looking very unkind.
"What are you two doing?"
Zi Nu and Zhao Shuang were very close to each other, but when she saw Wei Zhuang walking in, she stood up, but saw Wei Zhuang's tone was low and he looked at Zhao Shuang.
"I want to talk to her about something."
Zhao Shuang was stunned and stood up. I thought it was Wei Zhuang who found out his identity and came to investigate. But looking at Wei Zhuang's appearance, he didn't seem to know his identity.
"Miss Zi Nu, I'll take my leave now!"
"I'll give it to you!"
When Zhao Shuang passed by Zi Nu, a smile appeared on her face. She kept walking next to Zhao Shuang to send him out of the door, then turned around and walked into the house reluctantly.
Wei Zhuang saw this and felt even more unhappy.
After Zi Nu returned to the house, she sat across from Wei Zhuang and looked at the snacks and dishes on the table, feeling a little pity.
"what do you want to say?"
Wei Zhuang sat there, looking at Zi Nu with his eyes. He said nothing for a long time, which made her look a little strange.
"You came to me so late and didn't say a word. What happened?"
"There are some things that it shouldn't have been my turn to say. But it would be bad if I didn't say them."
Wei Zhuang was very hesitant and awkward, not at all like his usual style and tone of voice.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
This was the first time Zi Nu saw Wei Zhuang like this. If it weren't for the shark-tooth sword he was holding, she would have doubted whether this was a fake Wei Zhuang.
"Do you know what is the most important quality of a woman?"
Wei Zhuang hesitated for a long time before uttering these words. But as soon as these words came out, Zi Nu was in a daze for a moment.
"Morality?"
When did these two words come out of Wei Zhuang's mouth in succession?
"It's the word chastity."
Wei Zhuang took a deep breath and organized the order of words, quite like a Confucian who is good at teaching.
"What's the meaning of Zhen doing? With one heart and one mind."
Facing such a serious and lame teacher, Zi Nu couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Wei Da, what exactly do you want to say to me?"
Wei Zhuang slapped the table and sat upright.
"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that kid just now?"
"The relationship between me and him, the boss and the guests!"
Seeing Wei Zhuang like this, Zi Nu couldn't help but feel teasing at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"You two were almost stuck together just now. Is this the relationship between a boss and a guest?"
"It's just a joke!"
Zi Nu didn't care and poured Wei Zhuang a glass of wine.
"I've been observing for several days. Are you so playful?"
Zi Nu was a little sad. Seeing this, Wei Zhuang stared at her a little indignantly.
"Although that little fat guy doesn't look very good, when did you become so shallow?"
"A man can't just look at his appearance." At this point, Wei Zhuang glanced at Dongzhu on the table and added, "There is still money!"
Zi Nu sighed slightly, her face becoming more and more sad.
"I have also figured it out. We are born in a wealthy family, and our looks are fleeting. If we don't find a sweetheart, how can we live up to our time?"
Zi Nu glanced at Wei Zhuang, but saw that the expression on his face was extremely cold, and thought to herself that this joke should not go too far.
"Don't you know who he is?"
"Zhao Dabao, the most evil arrester in Guanzhong, has recently become famous in the world. This kid has an extraordinary background and his methods are even more superb. When you are with him, be careful of the consequences."
Wei Zhuang stood up and returned to his original appearance, cold and cold.
"Although he is just a pavilion chief now, for a young man like him, don't make mistakes because you will regret it in the end. It will be too late."
After Wei Zhuang finished speaking, he stopped staying and walked out.
Just after he left the door, he sighed slightly, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
No matter how strong her mind is and how superb her skills, is there ever a moment when love goes to her head?
Woman!
Inside the palace, the tone is gloomy. In the main hall, a woman was lying on the bed, her face pale.
Queen Mother Huayang walked into the harem, looked at the woman on the bed, and took her hand.
"Sister, why are you so sick after not seeing each other for so long?"
Queen Mother Xia felt the warmth of Queen Mother Huayang's hand and smiled slightly.
The woman in front of her has been weighing on her heart all her life. No matter whether she is competing for beauty or playing power, she has always been inferior. Even her own son had to be given away by her own hands in exchange for this peaceful resting place.
But now, at this critical moment of her life, Queen Mother Xia still asked her.
"Sister, I was not in good health. When winter came, I caught a cold and my condition became worse."
Queen Mother Huayang touched her hand and sighed.
"A few days ago, news came that Meng Ao was seriously ill. Now it's you again, sister, alas!"
"Sister Youlao is worried. It's just that my sister has one thing that has been hanging in her mind."
"Sister, tell me."
"Cheng Yu, this kid, has been very strong since he was a child. If I die, I'm afraid he will suffer a loss. There are some things that I hope my sister can take care of him to prevent him from making big mistakes."
"Don't worry! Your Majesty and Lord Chang'an have always been close to each other. As long as he doesn't rebel, you will be safe and sound. I will protect my family for a day."
Queen Mother Huayang patted Queen Mother Xia's palm to reassure her.
After clearing the stone that had been hanging in her heart, Queen Mother Xia relaxed a lot and lay back on her couch again.
"Thank you sister!"
Queen Mother Huayang walked out of Queen Mother Xia's palace, looking at the brilliant starry sky outside the palace, feeling a little sad.
Time flies, and the former rivals and friends are like meteors in the sky, passing away one by one as the years go by.
However, the whirlpool of power in Xianyang will become even more turbulent with the departure of Queen Mother Xia.
"As the child grows older, I'm afraid we no longer want us to take care of him."
Queen Mother Huayang was a little worried that things might develop in an uncontrollable direction. In the end, even she couldn't predict it.
