Since Zhou Mei came to Beijing, she has basically been following Wen Zhi. She also knows that her elder brother likes Wen Zhi.

At the same time, her sister Wen Zhi also likes the eldest brother, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will be her sister-in-law in the future.

Zhou Mei originally liked Wen Zhi. Now that she knew all this, she treated Wen Zhi even better and would discuss everything with her.

Originally, Zhou Mei planned to come to Beijing to visit her elder brother Zhou Zhengyang and go back after staying for a while. But now because of Wen Zhi, she decided to stay in Beijing.

Zhou Mei wrote a letter to her parents in Haicheng, saying that her eldest brother could not take care of himself in the capital, and she planned to take care of him in the capital.

Zhou's father and mother were of course willing to do so. Their daughter was growing up slowly, and staying in the capital would not only allow her to keep their son company, but also allow her to see the world.

Zhou Mei did not tell her parents about her elder brother and Wen Zhi. She wanted to wait until they got engaged to tell them so as not to make her parents happy for nothing.

It’s not that Zhou Mei doesn’t hope for the best for Zhou Zhengyang, but Wen Zhi is so outstanding in her mind, and she is afraid that her elder brother might fail.

Seeing that Zhou Mei was willing to stay in the capital, Wen Zhi personally became Zhou Mei's teacher. Zhou Mei could read, but she was not good at it.

Now that Wen Zhi was teaching her personally, Zhou Mei was willing to learn. Wen Zhi also brought all the notes and annotations that her father Wen Jing had made for her to Zhou's residence for Zhou Mei.

Zhou Mei was naturally overjoyed, as this way she could learn twice as well with half the effort.

Zhou Zhengyang saw Wen Zhi bringing notes to her sister and said with emotion, "If I had these notes at the time, I would have passed the exam a few years earlier."

"That's right. Sister Zhi'er's father is the Prime Minister, so he must be very knowledgeable. With these annotations, I feel that learning is easier."

In Zhou Mei's mind, the Prime Minister is a very powerful person. Wen Zhi is already very powerful in her mind, so Wen Zhi's father must be an even more powerful person.

"Then you must read it carefully. If you don't understand, you can ask big brother or your sister Zhier."

Zhou Zhengyang had taught Zhou Mei to read before, and Zhou Mei had a good foundation. Now she has the methods and time, as well as the guidance of Wen Zhi and Zhou Zhengyang, so she is making rapid progress.

Wen Zhi didn't want Zhou Mei to be the top scholar in the imperial examination. She taught her to read just to make her understand things.

So in addition to reading, Wen Zhi also teaches Zhou Mei other things, such as making tea, painting, riding horses, etc.

When the weather is good, he would also invite other friends to take Zhou Mei on an outing.

Zhou Mei lived happily in the capital, and Wen Zhi took her to experience a different life.

Wen Zhi also went to the palace to ask her aunt, the Empress Dowager, for a nanny who taught etiquette to be sent to Zhou's residence, so that the nanny could instruct Zhou Mei in etiquette.

Following the Queen's request, the nanny taught Zhou Mei wholeheartedly, and within a month, Zhou Mei had learned the etiquette quite well.

Wen Zhi also made a major transformation on Zhou Mei, asking her mother Murong Shu to customize a skin care plan and body adjustments for Zhou Mei.

Three months later, Zhou Mei was completely different from when she first came to Beijing, and was no different from the girls from aristocratic families in Beijing.

Zhou Mei likes her current better self, and Zhou Zhengyang is also surprised at the change in his sister. It turns out that the environment can really change a person.

In autumn, the Queen Mother held a flower-viewing banquet, and Wen Zhi took Zhou Mei directly to the palace.

At first everyone was curious about which family the girl was from, but in the end they found out that she was Zhou Zhuangyuan’s sister.

Everyone was very surprised. Zhou Zhuangyuan came from Haicheng fishing village, but he didn't expect his sister to be so outstanding.

Zhou Zhengyang now has to be noticed by Wen Jing, but Zhou Zhengyang himself is also a capable person, so families with unmarried daughters are somewhat tempted by him.

Some of them were impatient and extended olive branches to Zhou Zhengyang early on, but were all rejected by Zhou Zhengyang.

There was nothing they could do if the parties involved were unwilling, and everyone was ready to make a move.

This flower-viewing banquet was the first time they saw Zhou Mei. They knew that Zhou Zhengyang's sister had come to Beijing, but they didn't expect her to be so beautiful.

So everyone at the banquet was very enthusiastic towards Zhou Mei, hoping that she could say a few good words for them in front of her brother.

Zhou Mei didn't expect that the young lady from Beijing was so kind. She spent a pleasant day with everyone.

Zhou Mei didn’t understand the reason, but the Queen and Mu Youran saw it clearly.

The Queen joked with Wen Zhi, "Zhi Er, you better try your best. It seems that our Zhou Zhuangyuan is very popular!"

"Mother, Sister Zhi'er is not afraid. In the eyes and heart of Mr. Zhou, all he has is our Zhi'er."

Mu Youran also joked along. She knew that her cousin and Zhou Zhengyang had a good relationship.

"It's useless for you to be jealous. There's nothing we can do about it. He's too outstanding!" Wen Zhi's words made both the Queen and Mu Youran laugh.

The Queen Mother invited Wen Zhi and Zhou Mei to have dinner alone in the palace. Zhou Mei was very flattered that she was invited by the Queen Mother.

Zhou Mei was still a little excited and nervous while eating, but after the meal, Zhou Mei completely changed her opinion of the Queen and the Crown Princess.

Because Wen Zhi was there, the meal was quite relaxing. Before leaving, the Queen asked Zhou Mei to come over with Wen Zhi often when she had nothing to do.

On the way back, Zhou Mei said to Wen Zhi, "Sister Zhier, the Queen and the Crown Princess are so nice."

"My aunt and cousin are the kindest people. They love me the most. And my uncle the emperor and my cousin the prince are also very good to Zhier."

Wen Zhi feels that she is very lucky to have so many people loving her.

"Is the emperor really not fierce? I heard that those who disrespect the emperor will be beheaded." Zhou Mei fearfully made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Zhou Mei's words made Wen Zhi laugh, and she asked with a smile, "Where did you hear this?"

"Isn't this what's sung in operas?" Zhou Mei was a little dumbfounded.

"Don't bother looking at these nonsense." Wen Zhi smiled and took Zhou Mei's arm as she walked out of the palace.

"I understand, Sister Zhier." Zhou Mei now has a mindless admiration for Wen Zhier.

Wen Zhi smiled helplessly. Mei'er was so innocent and cute.

After returning home, Zhou Mei shared with her eldest brother what happened in the palace today.

Zhou Zhengyang knew that his sister would never be wronged if she followed Zhier, and Zhier was very protective of him.

But thinking of the passion of those ladies towards his sister, Zhou Zhengyang suddenly understood the reason.

Zhou Zhengyang went to the study and wrote a short letter expressing his loyalty to Wen Zhi. He whistled a few times, and a Saker Falcon landed on the windowsill, so he let it take the letter away.

This Saker Falcon was brought back from Tianmen Mountain by Wen Zhi when it was a child, and it only listens to Wen Zhi.

Later, after Wen Zhi and Zhou Zhengyang got together, this Saker Falcon became a "carrier pigeon" for the two to deliver letters.

Zhou Zhengyang would feed Haidongqing raw meat every day, and Haidongqing would be happy to do so whenever he delivered a letter to Wen Zhi. If it were anyone else, it would all depend on their mood.

Wen Zhi was about to go to bed when she heard Hai Dongqing knocking on the window. She opened the window, brought in the letter, and then gave Hai Dongqing some food.

After seeing the contents of Zhou Zhengyang's letter, Wen Zhi fell asleep happily. Her brother Zhengyang is so cute.
