C178 somnolence

She was born when the catkins were flying in the air in March.

Father said that the woman born in the spring was fortunate, so he called her Yu-er.

Ever since she was young, she had always seemed to be luckier than her peers. When she went to the private school, her teacher had always praised her face was like a peach blossom, and her mind was filled with emotions.

His father was interested in this matter. Although he knew that the Zhou family no longer had the power to rule the imperial court, he still hoped that his daughter would become a favored son of heaven.

This step had established Zhou Xu's current temperament.

In terms of talent and talent, she believed that she was not inferior to anyone, and her complexion was even more so an undefeatable sharp weapon.

This was her first time in the capital, Zhou Xu did not expect that the title of Emperor would be given to her, she had heard of Su Zeyi's name, and knew of Su Zeyi's life story, such a dazzling man, probably had no other woman in the world that did not admire him.

However, Zhou Yu was clear-headed. She was well aware that only an official man like him would not be able to desire sincere love.

Not to mention the fact that the royal family had never been sincere to begin with, even fighting for that tiny bit of honor seemed to be difficult.

Other than the Queen and Lord Zhong, the rest of the rookies who had entered the palace were also present.

Zhou Xu was not afraid. She was not afraid of the Empress, nor of the noble Zhong. She knew what she wanted, and what she needed to part with.

A calm and clear-minded mind was her best weapon.

Afterwards, in the main hall, she saw Empress Dowager Xu's daughter, Princess Xiang, whom she had raised. She was very beautiful, but her brows were filled with unease and worry.

While the Queen was admonishing the concubine, she was sizing everyone up. When her gaze landed on Zhou Xu's face, it paused for a long time, until the Emperor appeared.

That was the first time Zhou Xu saw Su Zeyi.

She had never had any special concept towards Su Zeyi, because she knew that there were many things that would always be exaggerated when it was spread around.

But this time she was wrong, Su Zeyi was himself such an outstanding existence, he could easily endure any kind of exaggeration.

His handsome appearance, washed by the wind and frost these years, appeared even more handsome, exuding an irresistible charm.

He was the king, her man.

Zhou Xu's gaze did not leave Su Zeyi's face. She was not afraid of others saying that she was extremely daring, that's how she watched.

Fortunately, Su Zeyi had also noticed her.

At that time, Zhou Xu did not know what Su Zeyi's expression meant, but she knew that he had seen her. Amongst so many women, it was enough for him to have seen her alone.

When bestowing the title, Su Zeyi walked in front of her. There were too many things in his eyes that Zhou Xu couldn't understand, but she didn't need to understand, the time would bring the truth to her side. At this time, she only needed to smile sweetly.

Su Zeyi obviously liked her smile, when she smiled, the light in Su Zeyi's eyes lit up a lot.

"How about I give you the title of a title if your calligraphy is so gentle?"

These were the first words Su Zeyi had spoken to her.

She knew that Su Zeyi liked her. A person's eyes could not lie to others.

She also knew that Su Zeyi would definitely be the first one to see her, but she just did not expect him to arrive this quickly.

The night in the Imperial Palace was especially tranquil, probably because the palaces were separated by quite a distance. Zhou Xu bathed cleanly, then changed into the soft dress brought by her aunt.

She was waiting for the Phoenix Luan Chun Mun, waiting for her boundless future.

How many people were unable to rest because of her service tonight? Zhou Xu did not have the time to think about so much, nor did she want to care about so much.

The clanging of the carriages could be heard from far away. Zhou Xu suddenly tensed up and walked to the door to wait.

Sure enough, the carriage with the red lanterns on it stopped at the entrance of the Frostfloat's palace. The Eunuch Wu walked into the southern side hall, and said to Zhou Xu with a smile, "Please move, your majesty is waiting for you."

Zhou Xu blushed. This kind of night was always fascinating.

She followed Eunuch Wu into the carriage. The moment they started walking slowly, she could hear the strong impact of her heartbeat.

The journey to Su Zeyi's sleeping quarters was not too far, but Zhou Xu still felt that it was so long that it felt like he had passed through half of the capital.

After getting off the carriage, a palace maid immediately gathered around her and brought her inside. There were many rules within the palace, so she washed once in her own palace. When she got to the emperor's place, she washed once before being brought to her room.

When Zhou Fu entered his room, everything was the same as before. There was nothing red or festive in the room. She was a little absent-minded, until the palace maid beside her said, "Please wait for a moment, Your Majesty."

After waking up from his stupor, Zhou Fu nodded his head. Only then did he remember that she was just a concubine.

There was no red.

The red in Su Zeyi's life was given to the Queen and Noble Zhong, but they did not have this honor.

Zhou Xu walked to the side of the bed and sat down. The blue curtain fell off layer by layer, making her seem especially hazy.

She didn't know if the empress and noble Zhong had come to this chamber, but it belonged to her now.

Su Zeyi had not given his papers for a long time, so before Zhou Xu could stroke every single ornament on the bed, he heard the sound of the door opening.

She held her breath and did not dare to move as she listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer.

Su Zeyi's silhouette was also getting closer and closer to the hazy veil.

He lifted the curtain, and that face, so handsome that a woman would scream, appeared in front of her at once. He lightly glanced at Zhou Xu, and suddenly laughed, "You've been waiting for a long time?"

The voice that was originally able to restrain itself suddenly trembled. "No. "No."

Hearing that, Su Zeyi sat beside her, but Zhou Xu did not dare look at him, and naturally did not know what he was doing.

Only after a long while had passed did Su Zeyi take hold of Zhou Xu's hand: "Don't you want to know why we are seeing you today?"

Zhou Xu obediently shook her head. "The Emperor is the Son of Heaven. You can meet anyone you want."

Su Zeyi suddenly laughed twice, sighed, and used a low voice that only he could hear: "She won't speak like that, and won't coax us to be happy."

Zhou Yu was stunned. "Your majesty?"

Su Zeyi held her hand tightly, and turned his body slightly to look at her. Zhou Xu was caught off guard and stared at him for two seconds, and then his face immediately flushed red.

"Why is the emperor looking at chenqie like that?" Zhou Xu looked away, and after a while she raised her head to look at him again. Her cute appearance was really beautiful, like an unpolished jade, just right under the dim light of the candlelight, it reminded him of that time when he was drunk and had to move closer to him, pulling at Zhong Miao Yi, who was unwilling to let go.
