Although Zhou Yu had been in the northern lands these past few years and his way of doing things was very wild, he really did not have a single woman by his side. He never acted rashly.
Therefore, now that Zhou Yu had asked for a woman from the Queen, Jun Xi Qing, not to mention the second and third child, they were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. Even Jun Xi Qing and Lu Yeming exchanged a glance.
Jun Xi Qing was already the Empress of a generation. She had seen all kinds of ups and downs in her life. She curled her lips, “Ah Yu, my Lord and I have been worried about your marriage for the past few years. We also know that you have high standards. Now that you have taken a fancy to a woman by my side, tell me what her name is. As long as I can make the decision, I will definitely marry her to you.”
What was her name?
He did not know.
That night, he had asked her several times what her name was. No matter how hard he tried, she refused to tell him and ignored him.
Zhou Yu’s dark eyes were filled with a hint of a smile. “My Queen, I don’t know what her name is, but she is a little girl by your side. I hope that the queen can bear with the pain and give up her love.”
Zhou Yu had guessed her identity before. She should be a female spy that Jun Xi Qing had raised, similar to a little girl. He was also certain that Jun Xi Qing would point this little girl to him.
Jun Xi Qing felt that it was a little funny. What little girl did Zhou Yu want from her? But soon, her eyes flashed and she guessed something. But she smiled without showing any emotion, “Ah Yu, you don’t even know this little girl’s name. How can I bear to part with her?”
“Queen, do you really want me to make it clear? Didn’t you send this little girl to the north three months ago to get my Tiger Talisman?”Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.
What was he referring to?
Lu Yeming quickly glanced at Jun Xi Qing. He saw that Jun Xi Qing’s expression did not change. It was obvious that he had already guessed it just now.
Lu Yeming tried to speak, but Jun Xi Qing tugged at his sleeve and smiled at Zhou Yu. “So Ah Yu has taken a liking to her.”
“Is the queen willing or not?”
Zhou Yu asked directly. He wanted that woman for sure.
“Ah Yu, this matter is between the two of you. If the two of you agree, then I’m naturally willing to become a beautiful woman. How about this, now is the auspicious time. Today is the grand day for the Xuan family’s eldest daughter to officially become the Minister of State. The ceremony has already begun. Ah Yu, why don’t you come with us to block today’s grand ceremony. After this matter is done, I’ll call the woman that Ah Yu likes over and ask her in front of the two of you. I’ll ask her if she’s willing to follow you and serve you?”Jun Xi Qing’s words were watertight, she did not give Zhou Yu any chance to refute her.
Zhou Yu snorted coldly in his heart. She was willing and unwilling to be with the woman he liked. Moreover, she was already his woman. Could it be that she wanted to be with another man?
“Alright, we’ll listen to the Queen.”
“Ah Yu, let’s go upstairs.”
The group of people entered the imperial city and looked down at the grand ceremony below. The Xuan family’s eldest daughter, Xuan luoyue, was already on her way to the palace to be conferred the title.
Lu Yeming looked at his lovely wife beside him and said in a low voice, “Qing Qing, you…”
Zhou Yu wanted Xuan Yingluo, the eldest daughter of the Xuan family. Xuan Yingluo was not a little girl. If Xuan Ying and Xia Ling found out that Zhou Yu, the wolf from the north, was actually thinking about their precious daughter.., the couple would probably tear down the roof of his palace.
Jun Xiqing looked at Lu Yeming with a smile and held his big hand in the cold wind. He smiled gently and said, “My lord, what are you so anxious about?”
Looking at his wife’s calm smile, Lu Yeming slowly curled his thin lips. He reached out and pulled Jun Xiqing into his arms.
Zhou Yu was not in the mood to watch this pair of empress show off their affection. The second and third were standing behind him. The second and third had always been calm, but the third could no longer hold it in, “Big Brother, which woman have you taken a fancy to? Why Don’t my brothers know?”
Zhou Yu glanced at third indifferently, meaning that there were many things that he did not know.
Third said, “Big Brother, is the woman that you have taken a fancy to Beautiful? is she even more charming than those beautiful dancers? Even the capital’s socialites that you sent over from your drawer can’t compare to her?”
Xuan Yingluo’s stunning face appeared in Zhou Yu’s mind. Those women naturally couldn’t compare to her, not even a strand of her hair.
When he thought of her, Zhou Yu felt tired of this ceremony of the Xuan family’s eldest daughter’s conferment. He wished that it would end as soon as possible, so that he could take a look at that small face.
She dared to tell the Queen that she didn’t want to be with him. He had plenty of ways to teach her a lesson.
At this moment, there was a commotion below. Someone shouted — Xuan Yingluo, the eldest daughter of the Xuan family, had arrived!
Xuan Yingluo had arrived.
Zhou Yu was not interested in this Xuan Yingluo. He lazily lowered his ink-colored eyelids and swept his gaze downwards. Just as he was about to shift his gaze away, his pupils suddenly constricted.
The person who was still in his mind just now had entered his line of sight.
Xuan Yingluo had come in a float, with two red carpets and fresh flowers. The female attendant respectfully opened the door of the float, and Xuan Yingluo stepped down.
Hiss.
The sound of sucking rang in Zhou Yu’s ears, and everyone present was already mesmerized by this figure.
Xuan Yingluo had changed back into women’s clothing. Today, she wore a light pink muslin dress with a girdle around her waist. A girl who was good at singing and dancing was even more slender and supple than an ordinary girl’s waist. Her three thousand strands of black hair were spread flat on her shoulders, the gentle breeze fluttered her sleeves, and the graceful muslin fluttered in the wind. No one knew who was mesmerized by it, but the spotless Xuan Yingluo looked like a graceful and beautiful goddess.
Zhou Yu’s dark eyes fell on Xuan Yingluo’s small face. The moonlight that night was too hazy. He had witnessed her true appearance in the moment of the sparks from the broadcast. Now that he looked at it, she was even more… beautiful than he remembered.
Xuan Yingluo’s palm-sized face was as soft and white as a snow-hatched goose. Her small beauty was pointy, her bright red lips and her bright eyes and white teeth were not enough to describe her beauty that could topple nations, just her pair of watery eyes, which were like flowing water, was overflowing with the most vivid and soul-stirring color of a woman.
She stepped on her long dress and lotus flowers blossomed with every step.
Zhou Yu’s large palm, which was propped on the railing, slowly tightened. At this moment, he heard Jun Xi Qing say beside him, “Ah Yu, this is Xuan Yingluo, the eldest daughter of the Xuan family. She is famous all over the world at the age of six. She is now in her 20s and 40s. She is in charge of the Ministry of State Affairs and has a delicate hand that can talk about the world.”
Xuan Yingluo.
Zhou Yu was thinking about this name in his heart. He thought that she was just a little girl by the Queen’s side, but he did not expect that she was actually the famous eldest daughter of the Xuan family.
He had heard that the noble lords and ministers who wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Xuan family had already broken through the doors of the Xuan estate a few times.
At this moment, Xuan Yingluo had already walked up and came before Lu Yiming and Jun Xi Qing. Her voice was as clear as jade. “My Lord, My Queen.”
As she spoke, Xuan Yingluo’s sharp eyes fell on Zhou Yu’s handsome face.

Even more.
