Qingyun Weiyang

Chapter 66: What's On My Mind

The news of Qin Yu's illness was completely blocked by the palace, and he did not go to court recently because he was unwell, which did not arouse the suspicion of the officials.But it had been half a month since the emperor came to court, and rumors gradually spread, but luckily Yun Jin returned to the palace in time, suppressing those who were about to make trouble.

The state affairs are piled up like a mountain, besides the rush notes that Qin Junlan has dealt with, there are still many waiting for Yunjin's review.

Qin Yu was in the loquat forest, Liu Qianxun and her two mothers were taking care of her, so she felt at ease.Qin Junhao did not return to the palace to accompany his son, so Yun Jin returned to the palace alone to face the court.

The huge imperial palace seemed to have become an empty palace again.

The moon is like a mirror, clear as running water, covering Yunqi Palace.

The dragon candle lightly circles around, and the red light shines brightly. In front of the window shadow lamp, Yun Jin leans over the desk to read the state affairs.She only slept for an hour a day, almost without sleep, and for three consecutive days, she finally settled the backlog of state affairs properly.

As before, she always had trouble falling asleep, and the only times when she could sleep soundly were the few times when Nalan Qing was by her side.When she can't sleep well, she reads a book. First, she won't think too much when she concentrates. Second, she has been in Jidu all year round, and she knows little about the customs and customs of the regained Yu and Luo prefectures.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you control it.Qingzhou has no future troubles. Although Yuzhou has Ling Yu intimidating King Yu, it still can't be careless. The most elusive is Luozhou.

The 15 Water Gate Army, she still remembers how much obstacles the Red Armor Army created back then.King Luo accomplished nothing, and the power of the entire Luozhou fell into the hands of King Yulan. He was good at water warfare, proficient in tactics, and occasionally had a little war with Qingzhou.Yun Jin has no idea what kind of temperament this person is, so she is still very upset about how Luo Zhou will manage it.

Thinking of the century-old grievances between Luozhou and Qingzhou, she had a headache, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and there was no solution yet.

Four tall silver lamp stands, lit with straight incense candles, illuminated the entire Yunqi Palace, the lamp on the table was particularly bright, reflecting Yun Jin's somewhat tired face.

She was reading "Historical Records of the Luo Kingdom", perhaps she was too engrossed, suddenly her eyes became sour, her vision was a little hazy, and the handwriting in the book was no longer clear.She put down the book, rested her forehead, closed her eyes tightly, and rubbed the corners of her eyes lightly, showing her exhaustion.

"Queen Mother, it's time for you to rest. It's already three o'clock. How can your body bear it after suffering like this every day?" Yuan Xi brewed a cup of tea and served it. Seeing that Yun Jin's eyes were dry and uncomfortable these days, she mixed it with white chrysanthemum. Make tea with cassia seeds to clear her liver and eyesight.

"Aijia is not tired yet." Yun Jin sipped her tea lightly, and the entrance was quiet, which made her sober again.

It's not that she's tired, she's just tense and doesn't want to let go.She wanted to complete her arrangements earlier, to do well what Qin Yu couldn't finish, so that he could govern in person without any worries, and she could feel a little more at ease when she left the palace in the future.

"Your eyes are always uncomfortable recently. I will send the imperial doctor to show you." Yuan Xi was very worried. Before, he felt that Yun Jin was tired, but this time he came back even worse than before.

"It's not a problem, maybe it's the reason why I turned on the light to read at night." Yun Jin moved her eyelids, feeling better, and her eyes fell on the book again, "Yuanxi, have you heard the legend about King Yulan? "

"King Yulan? Is it Ye Yulan in Luozhou?" Yuan Xi flicked the candle light, cut off the burnt wick, and made the light brighter.

"Well, the Ai family feels that this person is hiding something, and he doesn't know much about it."

"My maidservant heard about him from Sister Liyue in the early years. This means that King Yulan is over [-] years old and has not yet married. There have been rumors that he is good at Longyang, but there are always beauties around him. In Luozhou, He is the most powerful person, and I heard that he is very serious, and most people are afraid of him."

"Hmm." Yun Jin looked at the book in a daze, her eyes were still dry, she leaned back in the back chair, and touched her waist with her hands.

She took the kit and cared for it like a treasure in her palm.Now her only thought is that this couple is getting married, and she doesn't know how Qing'er is doing now?

Has everything related to Cheongju been handled properly?Are you ready to go to sea?

Thinking of Qingzhou, Yun Jin thought of someone, "Yuanxi, pass on Ren Han."

"Head of the bodyguard?" Yuan Xi couldn't help wondering, did Yun Jin know that he was from the Nalan family?

Doubts are doubts, of course she has to obey, even if Yunjin really knows that Nalan Qing brought people into the palace, it should be fine, and the crime of deception will not be punished.

Shi Han has been hiding in the palace, protecting Yun Jin silently, and he didn't even follow Feng when he was driven out of the palace, because he was afraid that Yun Jin would not be in the palace, and if something happened, he would be informed in time.

When he found out that Qin Yu didn't go to court, he began to suspect that something was wrong.One night, he sneaked into Chengyang Palace quietly and found that Qin Yu was not in the palace.He spent a lot of money and found many people who found out about his illness.

"I don't know what the Queen Mother's order is?" It was a first for him to be summoned to Yunqi Palace in the middle of the night. The Queen Mother Yun had never paid attention to him. He was the head of the guard, but in order not to attract attention, he was still very low-key.

Yun Jin looked at her with a faint smile, "I heard that you are from the Nalan family."

Shi Han was startled, could it be that the Lord sold him to the Queen Mother?Otherwise, where did this rumor come from?

"Small, small..." He even forgot to call himself a Weichen, instead of using the idiomatic expressions of Nalan Qingshi.

"Is the Ai family so scary?" Yun Jin looked at her with a smile. From the moment she knew Nalan Qing's identity, she knew that Shi Han was from the Nalan family.

With Nalan Qing's character, he would not befriend the servants in the palace for no reason, and the panic and worry in Shi Han's eyes when he rescued Na Lan Qing in the hunting ground was not for the emperor, but for his master. flustered.

Thinking about it this way, it was not difficult to guess his identity.

"The empress dowager is gentle and kind, she is tolerant of all rivers and rivers, how can she be scary?"

"You don't need to talk about flattery. Since you are a member of the Nalan family, you must have figured out how to find out about the emperor's affairs." Yun Jin stood up while speaking, walked to Shi Han, and took a deep look at him. "So, does she also know?"

"The empress dowager..." The empress dowager Mingjian..." Shihan felt that Yun Jin's aura was too strong at the moment, and he couldn't tell whether she was asking for responsibility or probing. He had always been with the king like a tiger. It was still seen through by her at a glance.

"Get up and talk." Yun Jin's tone finally calmed down, Shi Han dared to stand up, wiped his forehead lightly with his sleeves, and realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat at some point.

Yun Jin walked to the porch, looked at Haoyue, and sighed, "You send her a letter, just say that the emperor is fine, so she can rest assured."

"Observe the order." Shihan felt that he was just a little transparent in front of the queen mother and the lord, no matter how many things he did secretly, he couldn't hide it from them.

Yun Jin was originally afraid that Na Lanqing would worry about her and would not let her come with her. Now that she thought about it, she knew about it, but she couldn't bear to refuse herself.If she guessed correctly, she will wait for the news in Qingzhou. If there is no news from the palace for a day, she will not be at peace.

How could she bear it?

With the bright moon in the sky, Yun Jin stared at the night sky in a trance, thoughts spreading like water in her heart.With a faint sadness, wrapping the whole body, a sense of loneliness hits the whole body.

Cheongju Pyongwang

The weather cleared up, the snow melted into water, and the air was chilly.

The sea-going team composed of six people is moving out the necessary supplies. The ship has parked at the port, and they can set off at any time after Nalan Qing gives an order.

Nalan Qing's going to sea was silent, she would never tell anyone about her itinerary, and no one dared to ask her about it.But he couldn't hide it from the eyes of one person, and that was Nalan Changjun.

Nalan's family's wagon had its own logo, and when she passed by before her eyes to load food and supplies necessary for going to sea, she guessed that it was Nalan Qing who was going to go to sea.

On the street lined with Qionglou, Nalan Changjun stood at the entrance of the Nalan Inn, looking at the carriage going away in a daze.

"What's wrong? So lost in thought?" Lin Zirui stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her.

"Nalanqing may be going to sea."

"The Red Sea?" Lin Zirui's face changed slightly, and he followed her gaze, "I heard that the Red Sea is dangerous, especially in the waters off the west coast, where there are often stormy waves, and the weather is cloudy and sunny, accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms, which is really dangerous."

"Hmph, she still wants to cross the Red Sea to the end of the cape. She is looking for death. No one has ever crossed the Red Sea." Nalan Changjun looked away, complained indifferently, turned and left.

"You really want her to die?" Lin Zirui walked with her, the two beautiful and moving figures formed a scene of their own, always attracting people's attention.

"I don't care if she lives or dies."

Lin Zirui stepped forward to hold her gently, and said with a smile, "You just keep talking hard."

Nalan Zhangjun naturally raised his arm slightly, let her put him on his back, and stopped talking.

The vendors on the street were yelling and selling. Half of the shops on this Pingwang main road belonged to the Nalan family's property, and Nalan Changjun was best at industrial planning, which street did business, how to grasp the needs of the people, Whether it is suitable to open a store in another city at the same time is up to her to carefully calculate.

Everyone on this road, from shopkeepers to peddlers, knows Nalan Changjun.

"Hi, miss three."

"Hello Miss San, Miss Lin."

Nalan Changjun just nodded, and the arm that was supposed to be held lightly turned into a pull. In the past few days, she has been taking Lin Zirui to dabble in Nalan's industry, teaching her how to judge business opportunities, how to calculate costs, and even convert profits.

The two walked into a jade shop together, and the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face, "Oh, it's Miss San, why do you have time to step into the shop today?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to collect rent." For these shopkeepers, flattery is a must for renting shops. You must know that this row of shops are all in prime locations, but they all represent wealth, and Nalan Changjun masters these The owner of the shop.

"Look at what you said, you like the small shop, and the small shop is naturally flourishing. If you have something you like, just ask." The shopkeeper smiled obsequiously, and his eyes fell on Lin Zirui unconsciously. Turn around and ask happily, "Miss Lin, does Miss Lin have a favorite jade treasure hairpin?"

"Huh? No..." Lin Zirui didn't know the shopkeeper's intentions, but saw Nalan Changjun carefully choosing something.

A wide variety of jade wares are displayed in the sandalwood cabinet, including white jade, lapis lazuli, agate, coral, etc.In addition to the jade wares that can be treasured, there are also all kinds of jeweled hairpins and step rockers, with exquisite designs and different shapes.

Nalan Changjun walked to the headgear showcase and found a blue butterfly step, shining brightly, with tassels hanging down, lifelike and very beautiful.

"Do you like it?" She picked it up and shook it in front of Lin Zirui's eyes.

"Huh?" Lin Zirui always thought that she was choosing gifts for others or herself, but she didn't realize that she was actually carefully choosing gifts for herself.

"do not like?"

"I like it." Lin Zirui answered quickly.

"Really?" Nalan Zhangjun looked at her suspiciously, and Lin Zirui nodded repeatedly.

Nalan Changjun looked her up and down, and inserted the blue butterfly step into the side of the hair bun. Lin Zirui was originally a light blue thin shirt and long dress, and this hairpin made it even more attractive.

"Oh, Miss San is really discerning. You picked this one of our store's only treasures." The shopkeeper praised him again and again, but his heart was bleeding. This stroller is embedded with agate pearls, which is expensive. The appearance looks low-key, but it is very rare.

This was taken by Nalan Zhangjun, it was not appropriate to collect money, and the store has been open for nothing these days without charging money.

Just when he was hesitating and depressed, Nalan Changjun stuffed a bank note into his hand, "Pearls are one dollar, agates are half a dollar, plus the cost of handwork and rent, and the rest is your profit, which is worth the price." Pulling Lin Zirui out.

The shopkeeper was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He opened the bank note and saw that it was a total of 150 taels, which was exactly the price he had listed on the outside.

The third lady of the Nalan family really deserved her reputation, the shopkeeper looked at the bank note and chased outside the door happily, "Miss third, go slowly! Miss Lin, go slowly!"

"Chang...Changjun..." Lin Zirui blushed when he was being led all the way by her, attracting attention from time to time.Although the two often appeared together before, they were not so close. Now it seems that everything is different.

"What?" Nalan Changjun looked back at her, and found that her face was as red as the sunset.

"Let go of me first, there are always people looking at us strangely on this street." Lin Zirui turned his wrist to withdraw it, but Nalan Changjun leaned over to her, and frivolously teased her jaw, "You will be justified soon."

"Huh?" Lin Zirui had no idea what Nalan Changjun was thinking or what he meant.

Nalan Changjun raised his arm slightly, and soon someone came leading a horse, she knocked Lin Zirui in her arms, and whipped towards Qing Palace.

Nalan Qing is now the princess of the Qing Dynasty, and she must make proper arrangements for the affairs of the palace before leaving.Although Gu Nan is young, fortunately, he has a high level of awareness, and he has been independent since he was a child. After succeeding to the throne, he has the demeanor of a prince. In a short period of time, he has already been able to take on a lot.

"Mother and concubine must pay attention to safety when going to sea, and my son will wait for your return." Gu Nan reluctantly sent Na Lanqing out of the mansion.

"I don't know when I will be able to return from this trip. Nan'er, you must remember that if you encounter something you can't do, you will endure it, if it is difficult, you will plan it, and if it is bad, you will stop it. If anyone rebels and disobeys, he must be killed." Nalan Qing stroked his shoulder, "You are a man, so you should be more responsible than a woman. Your mother and concubine will not be in the palace all the time. You must inherit your father's legacy and become the real king of one side."

"My son, I will always remember the teachings of my mother and concubine."

"Well, the concubine mother is gone." Nalan Qing jumped on the white horse and was about to leave when he heard someone calling himself, "My lord."

She lightly pulled the horse rope, and the white horse turned around a few times.

"It's you guys." Seeing the two holding hands, Nalan Qing knew a little bit.

"Sister wants to ask the Lord about something." After saying that, Nalan Changjun actually knelt down, Lin Zirui didn't know what she meant, why did she kneel down to Nalan Qing at this time, "Changjun?"

"You said."

"I want to bring Zirui into the Nalan mansion, and I hope the lord will approve it." Nalan Changjun is usually proud, and few people make her surrender and kneel down. Even in normal times, she rarely flatters Nalan Qing like others, but today she is very proud. sincere.

Nalan Qing naturally knew what she meant by entering the mansion. If she agreed, Lin Zirui would be a member of Nalan's family from now on, and his identity label would be different, so he would not have to be hidden in the small building in the middle of the lake.

Lin Zirui looked at Nalan Changjun, his heart felt hot, and he was so moved that he didn't know what to say.At this time, Nalan Qing was still high above, overlooking others, but Nalan Changjun, who was kneeling on the ground, made her miss him even more.

Perhaps the obsession is really slowly letting go.

"It's okay if you want me to agree. When I come back, I hope you can make gratifying achievements." Nalan Qing turned his horse's head and turned his head slightly, "The position of Patriarch is for those who are capable. Do it yourself, sir!"

Snapped!The sound of whipping was heard, the dust rolled slightly, and Nalan Qing's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Nalan Zhangjun looked at her going back and smiled happily.
