From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 930

It was already very late at night.

The breeze stirred the sea water and made the big ship sway slightly.

Everyone was exhausted and returned to their cabins to rest.

Xiaoying said she wanted to talk to Sister Sizhu, and Jianjia said she was very tired and wanted to rest alone.

Zhou Yuan understood that she wanted to give tonight to Qu Ling, after all, she had cut in line the day she came.

Ningyue was still whispering to Ruan Zhi, and the two girls were flirting with each other, and it seemed that they had achieved their own goals.

Qu Ling didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhou Yuan meaningfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

It was late at night, and only the moon was bright.

Zhou Yuan lay on the boat, quietly waiting for Qu Ling's new ideas. What would she do?

Bring strange items? Or wear strange clothes? Or pull me to the deck?

I don't know, I can't guess, but I'm really looking forward to it.

There was a sudden knock on the door. Zhou Yuan rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Little darling, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

He opened the door and his smile froze.

In front of the door, a woman in a green-gray long skirt was wearing a small pink waistcoat. Her hair was combed very delicately. Her fair skin looked pink because she was a little shy.

Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her thin lips were slightly pursed, her eyes were flowing, she was shy and natural, she lowered her head, looked at her embroidered shoes, her body was tense, and she was a little nervous.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou..."

Luo Ruanzhi whispered, "How did you know I was looking for you? Why have you been waiting for me for a long time? Also, is it too...too intimate to call someone like that..."

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth, but reason told him that he must not mention Qu Ling at this moment, otherwise the girl in front of him would turn around and leave.

So he coughed twice and said, "What does Ruan Zhi want to talk to me about?"

Luo Ruan Zhi whispered, "Can... come in and talk?"

"Of course."

Zhou Yuan quickly made way and said with a smile, "Sit down, Ruan Zhi."

Luo Ruan Zhi was the daughter of the prince after all. Although she was not given the title of princess, she had been taught very strict etiquette since she was a child.

She bowed slightly, then walked into the house and sat down on the chair dignifiedly.

Looking at Zhou Yuan, with a bit of resentment in her eyes, she whispered, "It's really rude to bother you so late at night. Please don't be offended, Mr. Zhou. It's just because I'm nervous and have many doubts that I want to find answers to, and I can't sleep."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Ruan Zhi, just say it directly, don't be so polite."

Luo Ruan Zhi whispered, "I want to ask you, when you were in Yunzhou, you got on my carriage and drank water from my cup... At that time, did you have feelings for me?"

Oh my God!

Zhou Yuan's heart exploded.

Ruan Zhi is a very traditional woman, he knew that, but he didn't expect that a casual action at the beginning would be remembered by the girl in front of him for so long.

How to answer? If I say no, what will Ruan Zhi think? If I say yes, then my image...

Hmm? Why would I think of such a strange question? I have no image in this regard!

How can a sex maniac who doesn't let go of old women in their forties and fifties have any image.

Hmm... I will visit Zhang Bailong in Zhongyuan when I have the chance. Damn it, he ruined my reputation.

"Ruan Zhi..."

Zhou Yuan whispered, "You are beautiful and polite, who wouldn't like you? I didn't mean to tease you at that time, but I couldn't help myself and couldn't control my behavior, which was really offensive."

Luo Ruan Zhi thought for a while and said, "When I first met you, you told me the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story", saying that Ning Caichen was a scholar and Nie Xiaoqian was a girl from Jiangnan. Was he implying... Caichen is you and Xiaoqian is me?"

Zhou Yuan's face was really stiff. He realized that Ruan Zhi was a girl who had no common sense about love. She was not like Ningyue and Jianjia, who could read love poems and stories, and knew a little about love.

She was reading all mathematics!

She didn't understand love at all!

Therefore, the image of love in her mind was extremely subjective.

How to describe it?

It was something like: "Watch me play basketball, and I have a flat head - you like me, right?"

Ruan Zhi is now putting herself into this role.

But she is so innocent that Zhou Yuan can't bear to deny her idea.

So Zhou Yuan could only say awkwardly: "You figured it out..."

Luo Ruan Zhi lowered her head, a little shy, but said: "The story I told tonight is actually about you and me, right? You are so brave, saying these words to me in front of Sister Jianjia and the others, it's so embarrassing."

Zhou Yuan swore that he changed the background to an oriental one just to make it easier for them to put themselves into the role.

But Luo Ruan Zhi said faintly: "But when we were in Xiangzhou, you clearly didn't care about me and left me in Haojing."

"Could it be that you secretlyYou investigated me and knew that I liked to read mathematics, and you knew that there were many books on mathematics in Haojing, so you left me there so that I could study with peace of mind? "

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "That... Kolodiya said that you read books there, and occasionally helped with financial work, and seemed to be very satisfied. "

"Yeah!"

Luo Ruanzhi nodded heavily and said: "Very satisfied! I have never read books so recklessly! At home, I can only read secretly, and if I am caught, I will be scolded and said that I am not doing my job properly."

"You forced me to learn women's work and read "Female Rings". In fact, I don't like those. I like the mysterious mathematics."

"You really investigated me and have been secretly caring about me in private."

"During that time, my father was urging me to get married, and I was very distressed."

Zhou Yuan was sweating profusely. He didn't feel so guilty when he lied to Jianjia.

He could only bite the bullet and say: "It's good if you don't blame me. ”

Luo Ruanzhi thought for a moment before whispering, “With your status, my father will definitely agree. I can roughly guess your feelings for me.”

“But you and Ningyue have very romantic stories, and I also want a little romance.”

“If I agree to you easily, I always feel that something is missing.”

“Well! You must be romantic to me too.”

She seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “You have to come up with a math problem that stumps me, and then I will agree to you.”

Zhou Yuan blurted out, “Pythagorean theorem?”

“Pythagorean?”

Luo Ruanzhi said, “Multiply the hypotenuse and the leg, add them together to get the Xuanshi, and divide by the square root to get Xuanshi. The hypotenuse is three, the leg is four, and the leg is five. I memorized the Zhoupi Mathematical Classic when I was eleven years old.”

Zhou Yuan quickly added, “I mean, prove the correctness of the Pythagorean theorem! "

Luo Ruanzhi said: "The hypotenuse multiplied by itself is the red square, and the leg multiplied by itself is the blue square. Let the in and out complement each other, each according to its kind, and then leave the rest unmoved, and the result is the power of the square of the chord. The square root and the result is the chord. I have also seen this... It is too simple and not romantic. "

She was even a little annoyed.

Zhou Yuan said directly: "Without rules, there is no square or circle. I want you to use a compass and a ruler to draw a regular 17-gon."

This sentence made Luo Ruanzhi confused.

She sat there, slightly opened her mouth, as if her soul had left her body, and she didn't move at all.

After at least ten breaths, she suddenly woke up and couldn't help but said happily: "Too romantic!"

"If I can really draw a regular 17-gon with a compass and a ruler, it would be the most romantic story in the world!"

"Sir, you are also the most romantic person in the world. "

Looking at Ruan Zhi's red cheeks due to excitement, Zhou Yuan did not want to tease her, but felt an inexplicable heartbeat.

Perhaps it is this kind of innocent heart that can make Ruan Zhi's mathematical talent come true, and therefore, she has a unique charm.

Just when the two were happy, an excited and charming voice came from outside the door: "Grand Marshal! I'm here! I brought a rope and a ruler!"
