The ten-acre mansion is only half of the upper limit. It is just a pool of clear water, winding paths leading to secluded areas, rockery peaks, and pavilions scattered here and there. It condenses the beauty of mountains and rivers in a corner. Now that the weather is getting hotter and the fire is shining, you can still stay in the back garden.
I feel the coolness of the water, which is a great place to cool down.
"It's really comfortable this year, even the wind is cool."
The maid Shi Qin walked to the window and opened the two windows. The cool wind blew in her face, and it also carried the quiet fragrance of flowers, which made her couldn't help but stretch.
"I thought it would be relatively cool this summer, but when I go out, it's still hot. When I get home, it's cooler. The place where Miss lives is the coolest."
"By the way, there are no more pastries in the box. Should I tell the kitchen to prepare more?" Shi Qin asked.
"You want to eat it yourself, right?" Zhou Yao said without raising her head while sitting in front of the window, washing off the jewelry and taking off her jewelry.
"Forget it, go ahead and bring me a melon."
She smiled as she watched the maid Shi Qin run away with joy.
The boudoir cage is always stocked with candied dates, persimmons, walnut cakes, poria cakes, etc. Most of them are shared by several maids, and Zhou Yao herself doesn't use them much.
"However, it is indeed comfortable." The surrounding stone paths and water are quiet, and despite the scorching sun in the midsummer, the cold water vapor flows. This is not her intention, but after awakening, the water, vapor and wind naturally obey the orders. If it were not for fear of attracting attention,
There are even clouds and mist lingering.
It's not surprising for dragons, but it's quite convenient for people.
At this time, the breeze was blowing, and she was also a little tipsy.
Zhou Yao is quite enjoying being a human this time. She no longer has to suffer from the scorching heat. Even in winter, although the temperature cannot be directly raised, it can make clothes and bedding dry and free from moisture.
"Hey, is there a gap between King Qi and Shence Army again?" After thinking about it, Zhou Yao was startled, put down the book, and couldn't help but utter a surprised voice.
After she returned, she collected history books honestly. She had been checking them over the past few days and probably knew some things.
It turns out that between Wei and Zheng, there were demon tribes involved in the dragon fight, and the Shence Army was the main force.
It was obvious that the Shence Army had affected Qi, and Da Zheng defeated all the heroes and became a true dragon. However, the day the dragon battle was successful was the day when the elites of the Monster Clan died.
"This person has indeed weakened my authority and can actually command the fate of the demon clan." Zhou Yao has figured out most of the situation these days: "The Prince of Qi has summoned fifty-three demon generals."
"Don't worry about it, Demon General. This Xie Zhenqing is a big problem."
"It has the air of a demon king, but it's not thorough."
"Is he really the demon king who came out after me? Just because I still exist and my daughter is here, he never reaches perfection?"
"He must not be a human. Otherwise, he cannot adapt to the fate of the Demon King. What is his true form?"
Zhou Yao pondered for a long time and her beautiful eyes turned cold: "No matter what the true identity is, if this person wants to be perfect, he must either kill or marry us."
"Marrying is impossible. This Xie Zhenqing will naturally be harmful to me or my daughter. The most important thing is that I must get rid of this person for your majesty's grand plan!"
"Looking at this person's strategy, he is actually quite qualified. Unfortunately, even if he is in line with the demon clan, I have to get rid of him."
Zhou Yao's beautiful eyes were blurred, she shook her head and sighed.
"As for the demon general..."
She actually felt that these fifty-three demon generals did not have to be eliminated together.
After all, these are the elites of the demon clan. Xie Zhenqing can get rid of them, but these demon generals can use them.
"It can add wings to my daughter and the demon clan."
Thinking of this, Zhou Yao blew a whistle out the window. After a while, a black shadow fell from the night sky, flew into the room with a half-open window, and landed directly on the table, because some rainwater was stained on the feathers.
, it couldn't help but lowered its head and pecked its feathers. Its sharp claws were already showing their power, and it turned out to be a young eagle that had just grown up!
Although this eagle is small, it is very handsome. It is obviously not an ordinary eagle.
Zhou Yao put down the pen, put the written note away, tied it to Xiaoying's leg, and told him: "Send it to His Majesty."
The little eagle nodded towards her, spread its wings and flew out.
Just as he finished, he heard footsteps coming from outside the curtain, and the maid Shiqin came in carrying two baskets.
"Miss."
"This..." Zhou Yao saw Shi Qin put the basket on the table, and her eyes fell on it. It was just one. It was indeed fruits and jujube cakes. It was clear that they were fresh. They were taken directly from the kitchen. There were also
What's strange is that there are a lot of platinum papers in this basket.
Zhou Yao was suddenly a little surprised. It was late at night. What was the purpose of sending these platinum papers?
But she was smarter now, knowing that Shi Qin couldn't keep her temper, so even though she was confused, she didn't ask directly.
As expected, Shi Qin took the initiative and said: "Miss, Madam said, you can just give up on this. It will be too tiring, Miss, there is no need to go in person to avoid material disputes."
After hearing these words, Zhou Yao's whole body was shocked, and she suddenly remembered that tomorrow is Shao Sisen's birthday!
Today's custom is that birthdays are better than the days of death. In the past, she would fold ingots with her own hands and cremate them for sacrifice.
But now she is...
Zhou Yao stood up immediately. She was dressed in pure white clothes. From a distance, she looked like a fairy dining in the wind and drinking dew. Looking closely, her skin was better than snow, with a layer of white light. Even Shi Qin
They were all dazzled by it.
"The young lady is becoming more and more beautiful, and even the madam is worried. I really don't know who she will find as her husband in the future? Who is qualified to marry the young lady."
Just then I thought about it, and saw Zhou Yao was stunned, with a sad look on her face, and comforted her: "Miss, don't be sad, it's been a few years."
"Master Shao won't want to see you like this. If you don't have fate, you should just give up your hands!"
Shi Qin also had a secret thought. He was with the young lady. Only when the young lady got married could he settle down. If he didn't marry, would he have to stay with her and become an old girl?
Shi Qin really doesn’t want to.
"Really? Put your hands down when it's time to put them down?" Zhou Yao pressed her forehead, sat down slumped, and waved her hands: "You go out first, it's night, you can rest."
"You like to eat cakes, take a few out."
"Okay, miss, I'm in the small room, call me if you need anything." The rule is that personal maids are actually escorts. Even those who live in the room are usually on a small bed in a small room with a curtain. You can hear it when you call.
Seeing that Zhou Yao was in tears and silently lost in thought, Shi Qin had already conveyed what she was supposed to convey, so naturally it was not easy to disturb her. Although she was unwilling to do so, she quietly withdrew and spat: "What a shame, they are all dead ghosts, and they are still pestering the young lady.
"
After Shi Qin left, Zhou Yao put down her hand, but she didn't really reminisce, but had ulterior motives.
"I still remember the eternal oath I made to him, but I just remember it."
"...I...I actually have a vague impression of him. The past and love are as misty as smoke and clouds."
Isn’t this even scarier? What’s even scarier is...
"After I discovered this, I didn't feel too sad anymore."
"Have I really changed as a person?"
Only then did Zhou Yao realize that there was a clear gap between her past self and her current self.
In the past, there were two minds in her body, but now, although they are still two minds, they are becoming more and more like one person.
"Shao Lang, I can't shout anymore."
When Zhou Yao came back to her senses, she realized that the room was quiet, with only the half-burned candle glowing faintly. She didn't speak, just folded the ingot silently by the candlelight.
The folded ingots were put into the basket. When she put down the last ingot, her face looked sad, and the candlelight reflected in her eyes, shaking slightly.
