Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 55 Confidante
For the first time, Zhuangyuan Lang was named a fourth-rank official, which caused quite a stir among the people.

Almost everyone is discussing that Zhang Xiu is so lucky because she has a good sister.

Only the officials in the court knew that the reason why Zhang Xiu was able to receive the current treatment was all due to his own ability...

After all, this is a peerless and ruthless man who went to the imperial garden with a butcher's knife. I am afraid that there will never be a second champion like this in all ages.

If one day they annoyed Zhang Xiu at the court meeting, and he gave himself five steps of blood spattering, then who the hell could bear it! !

My family wealth and beautiful wife and concubines are all waiting for me to enjoy, so the devil is willing to work with this lunatic at the same court!

Hurry out of sight and out of mind, send him out of the capital, hello, hello, hello everyone...

There was a lot of extreme tension in the court, and the civil and military officials of the court praised Zhang Xiu as a flower, and finally let the emperor make him the prefect of Jinhua. banquet.

Zhang Xiu, who was left with a dark face, walked out of the palace gate with a frosty face.

Just as he was leaving the palace gate, suddenly a palace lady stopped him.

"Uncle Guo, please stay, the imperial concubine and empress are here to invite you!"

Zhang Xiu stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look, and saw a pretty girl with crescent eyebrows sweeping away, looking at her with a smile, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Your Majesty's Concubine?"

Although the imperial concubine said she was his elder sister, Zhang Xiu never knew her origin.

She even had a grudge against one of her dearest relatives, her brother, the Dragon King of Jinghe.

After coming to the capital, what is the purpose of taking care of herself like this, even if she is more intelligent than Pan An, she still can't figure it out.

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel worried when he heard the imperial concubine invite him to meet him suddenly.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xiu frowned, and said with a smile: "Master Guoshi is my confidante, my dearest relatives and friends, how can I not take her with me when I go to meet my sister, you wait here for a while , I'll take her to meet my sister!"

When the maid heard the words, she immediately showed a shocked expression, and said instinctively: "Master Guo Shi, is your confidante?? You have only been in the capital for a few days, how did you... put her To become a confidante?"

Looking at the little palace lady who was asking the bottom line, Zhang Xiu was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, she said with a tangled face: "I don't know if this counts, but if I seriously kill myself, I can splash blood all over her face. She knows it herself."

Maid: "@#￥%￥#@..."

Apart from having nothing to do with the word, this can really be regarded as a confidante...

Half an hour later, the little maid who received Xuantian Daoist brought Zhang Xiu and Zhang Xiu to a courtyard outside the palace with a look of doubt on life.

This courtyard is very spacious, with rockeries and ponds, and the layout has a simple and elegant atmosphere.

Zhang Xiu followed the little palace lady from a distance, looked at the courtyard, pulled off Taoist Xuantian's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, what do you think this noble concubine is up to? You want to use me as a furnace or something?"

The corner of Xuantian's eyes twitched, he squinted at Zhang Xiu, and said, "I feel... the female goblins are also picky, right?"

"That's good... eh?"

Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, then realized that there was something in her words, and gave her a vicious look.

"Hahaha……"

When Master Xuantian saw his reaction, the corners of his mouth curled up, and an incomparably bright and beautiful smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, the quietly blooming lotus in the ponds on both sides of the stone bridge made Zhang Xiu, who saw her smile for the first time, couldn't help being stunned.

"The face of the lotus is red..."

Glancing at Zhang Xiu who was in a daze in front of him, Master Xuantian's cheeks blushed, reflecting Zhang Xiu's words even more, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, surpassing Zhang Xiu by half a body, trying to calm down his accelerated heartbeat forcibly, and resumed his daily routine In a cold tone: "Since she entered the palace, this imperial concubine has never harmed anyone, and occasionally she will send someone to ask me for Taoist scriptures. Judging from what she asked me, it doesn't look like some evil spirit heretic, you There is no need to be so worried.”

"And even if she wants to harm you, with me by your side, she won't...you can rest assured!"

Master Xuantian walked in front of Zhang Xiu with a blushing face and a beating heart, feeling an inexplicable throbbing in his heart for some reason.

This kind of strange feeling has never been experienced in her hundred years of practice.

Master asked her to come to the world of mortals to refine her mind, is it for this kind of feeling that she should be cut off?
But... this kind of numbness and warmth, is it really something that must be given up on the road of practice?
Master Xuantian was so upset that he came to a pavilion before he knew it.

The little palace maid stopped, turned around and said: "The imperial concubine is taking a bath and changing clothes, please wait a moment, the slaves go down to prepare meals."

After finishing speaking, he walked through the pavilion and walked towards the house opposite the lake.

Zhang Xiu frowned, and shouted to the little maid: "Don't worry about the imperial concubine, you first put the steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chick, roasted goose, stewed pig, and stewed duck. , Sauce Chicken, Bacon, Songhua Xiaoduer, these are here, and it won’t be too late to see her after we finish eating!"

The little maid froze, stopped staggeringly, turned around holding her breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Not at all!" After finishing speaking, she quickly turned around and ran across the flower wall in small steps.

Not long after, several plates of vegetarian dishes were placed on the table. Zhang Xiu's face was like dishes, and he picked up the vegetables on the plate a few times with his chopsticks, and said, "How about we pack these dishes for Yan Feng to take back? He must like them." !"

Master Xuantian smiled in his heart for a while, suppressed his laughter, and hummed expressionlessly, followed by suddenly realizing something, looked solemnly, and looked at the opposite flower wall.

A lithe woman in a white dress, dressed richly and elegantly, walked slowly with gentle lotus steps.

The ethereal aura all over her body made her feel a kind of invisible pressure.

Seeing this, Master Xuantian said solemnly: "This bird's cultivation has improved again. If she does something, today...I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you from retreating unscathed."

"Is this the imperial concubine? She looks like my genes, she is a beauty..."

Zhang Xiu frowned and looked at the beautiful woman who was walking towards her. Suddenly, she felt a familiar fragrance. After recalling it for a while, she showed a dazed expression.

"I seem to have smelled this smell from a swallow when I was a child. At that time, a bird's nest was overturned, and the swallow fell to its death and broke a few eggs. At that time, I was very kind and took the dead swallow buried..."

"Wait, isn't she the reincarnation of that swallow who came to repay my favor?"

Amidst Zhang Xiu's uncertain expression, the imperial concubine came over with a smile, bowed to Zhang Xiu, and said with a somewhat tangled expression: "I am not that swallow, I am... I am the egg left in the bird's nest." !"
