The resentful best friend travels through daily life

Chapter 125 Silent Confession in the Storm

When Zhou Ning pulled Shen You back to the room, he began to rummage through his clothes.

Shen You sat down on the kang in a daze, and said blankly: "A Ning, I still feel it's unreal. I feel a little flustered when things develop like this. I always feel that the future is out of my control. Tell me, how did I become the county lady, and, and..."

Zhou Ning found the clothes and whispered to comfort her: "We didn't know we would travel through time before we came here, but now we are living well. Everything depends on human effort. Besides, being a county lady is so prestigious, even more powerful than a county magistrate. I will rely on you to protect me in the future."

Shen You suddenly became emotional, tears fell down her cheeks, and she choked up, "I'm just afraid of being associated with the imperial power, I..."

"It's alright. No matter what, I'm here. I'll be your aide. You can just wait and enjoy the good life."

Shen You was amused and nodded.

Zhou Ning simply put makeup on Shen You while thinking about this sudden enthronement.

I was in a hurry just now and didn't have time to ask Bai Zhao where he got the information, but there is a 99% chance that it was his master who told him.

The Master is usually very sensitive to the news he receives. The reason he was in such a hurry this time might be because the Master is usually slow to receive news.

Logically speaking, the enthronement is a big deal, and even the master cannot get the news, so it must not be something that is put on the table, but something that is done in secret. At least the emperor wants to do it quietly.

Although enthroning a county lady was a big deal, it had nothing to do with court politics. However, Youzi was enthroned because of a great victory at the border.

Today, with local forces entrenched, the emperor's power cannot be called a centralized monarchy.

Therefore, the emperor was on guard against these forces.

A great victory at the border is of great benefit to both reputation and military strength. When the emperor is proud, those separatist forces will naturally be unhappy, so they are happy to make the emperor unhappy even over some trivial matters.

Yuzu had no background, she was even just an eleven-year-old farm girl, which was an excellent place for those big shots to start.

The emperor's move was both to protect and to show his power.

Tell those separatist forces that no matter what, he is still the emperor, and if a peasant girl works for him, she can also become a county lady.

Just in this way, Yuzu will be forced to take sides.

What about Qi Ji?

Although we still don’t know which family Qi Ji belongs to, he is definitely an important figure and must be involved in government affairs.

What if the positions are different?

Zhou Ning shared his analysis and final doubts with Shen You.

Shen You said: "Instead of guessing here, why not go and ask directly? Since it was Bai Zhao who told us the news, I'm sure Master knows the answer."

Zhou Ning agreed and went with Shen You to find Qing Yi and the other two.

Shen You was very nervous. What should he do if they had different positions?

Qing Yi once told her that assuming this one in ten thousand possibility, Shen You and Zhou Ning were forced to be involved in court politics and opposed to Qi Ji, then at that time, it would be as if they had never become disciples and it was just a dream.

"Master." Shen You and Zhou Ning shouted.

The door was open, Qing Yi was sitting on a stone bench, with Qi Ji and Bai Zhao standing beside him.

Because Shen You farms and practices martial arts, she always wears coarse linen clothes and rarely wears jewelry.

But now she was wearing a red dress, with some rouge on her face. Her three thousand black hair was tied up with a silk headband, and her eyes were slightly red from crying. She looked very pretty and lovely.

She had been well fed since she was a child. After traveling through time, she practiced martial arts and took good care of her nutrition. She is now nearly 1.6 meters tall, and stands tall, looking like a young girl.

Qi Ji looked at Shen You. He didn't often see Shen You dressed like this, especially since she had grown a lot taller recently.

This is his sweetheart, but for him, is this an ideal or a delusion?

"Wow, you're wearing such bright clothes. This doesn't seem like your style." Bai Zhao always speaks directly.

Zhou Ning said: "Because this is my clothes."

"I see. I was wondering why this dress looked familiar. I think you've worn it before." Bai Zhao said.

"Okay, we're not here to talk to you about clothes. We have serious business to talk about." Zhou Ning said.

Qingyi took a sip of tea and said, "You guys sit down first. Hey, hey, hey, Yuzi, watch your skirt. Don't step on it. Your skirt is so long. Mop the floor."

The skirt was too long, which was why Zhou Ning only wore it once.

To be honest, it would have been fine if Qingyi hadn't said it. As soon as she said this, Shen You wanted to step on her and almost fell down.

Qi Ji wanted to go forward to help, but he saw that Zhou Ning had already helped, so his hand fell into empty air. He just paused for a moment, then immediately withdrew his hand.

Qi Ji didn't show it on his face, but he could hardly hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Bai Zhao saw it all and complained silently in his heart, thinking that the beating was in vain, as it was obvious that his young master liked Shen You. Forget it, he decided not to say anything to avoid getting beaten again.

Shen You asked, "Master, the court has appointed me as the county lord. What do you think about this?"

Qing Yi raised his eyes to look at Qi Ji and asked, "I'm asking you. What do you think?"

Qi Ji's elegant misty eyes were filled with Shen You's image. He said softly, "Youzi, can you tell me what you think?"

Shen You looked at Zhou Ning, and her eyes clearly showed: Are these people sick?

"Since you asked me, I'll tell you." Shen You cleared her throat and said, "I think I'm just a county lady. I'll avoid the court affairs if I can. If I can't avoid them, I'll try not to be on the opposite side of Senior Brother Qi Ji."

"What if the situation forces you to become opponents of the young master? What will you do?" Bai Zhao asked.

Oh, so many assumptions.

Shen You smiled helplessly and said, "A Ning and the Shen family, I must protect them."

Qingyi nodded and didn't say anything. She was only thinking about what to eat tonight.

The atmosphere was five parts awkward, three parts cold and two parts helpless.

At this time, Qi Ji said: "I'm on your side."

"What did you say?" Shen You was a little surprised and doubted whether what he heard was true.

Qi Ji's eyes were filled with smiles, and he said in a gentle voice: "In fact, I have not yet decided which side I stand on, but you and I are from the same school, and I know you. You are smart and kind, and you have a broad mind and tolerance. If it doesn't matter who you serve, then why can't it be you? If you are really involved in the court, I am willing to serve you. Whatever your position is, I will take the same position."

The summer wind always brings a bit of heat, but Qi Ji is dressed in white, with a tall and straight figure, which makes people feel refreshed just by looking at him.

Shen You looked at Qi Ji's gentle eyes and felt her heart skip a beat.

It’s like, on a hot summer day, you go to a forest and see a little deer.

The deer said to her: You are miserable, you have fallen in love.
