Qingyun Weiyang

Chapter 13: Mood

Nalan Qing's smile, like white clouds in the blue sky, brightened the entire apse.When she was alone drinking, even Shihan felt distressed, and all her moods changed with what Queen Mother Yun said and did.

Shihan feels that nothing in this world can trouble her master, and nothing can trap her heart, only when she puts her affection into her heart can she be like this.It's just not good to like someone, to like the Supreme Being under heaven, this road is doomed to be difficult.

"Let's take credit for this matter first." When Nalan Qing lifted the jug again, he found that it was indeed a good wine, with a suitable thickness and cinnamon lingering just right in his mouth.

Indeed, drinking is closely related to her mood. At this time, she has already left behind her previous unhappiness and loneliness.She just lacked a reason to convince herself, and she didn't believe that Yunjin would lose her heart after becoming the queen mother, but it turned out that she didn't.

"But you also said that a small promotion is not a good thing, it will attract attention, and it will not be good for future affairs." Shi Han didn't dare to take the credit, he didn't think things were as thorough as the Patriarch, and indeed his status should be low-key in the palace. The little guard will be fine, now that he has been promoted to a chief guard, wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient for him to move around in the future.

"But it's also a blessing in disguise. From now on, you are the Zhongling Guan's savior, and we have a personal relationship."

"That's right, the Master is still wise!" Shi Han jumped up again, and he won't need to be sneaky when meeting the Patriarch in the future, how nice!

"Retire first, there are many taboos in the palace, even if there is a personal relationship, it is not appropriate for a lonely man and a widow to be together at night." Nalan Qing waved her hand, signaling Shihan to retreat, after all, she still likes to be alone most of the time.

"Yes, yes, the little one disappeared immediately." Shihan stepped back cheerfully. Finally, another village was revealed, at least he didn't cause trouble to the Patriarch, and he was still valuable. It's better for him to go.

In the past, Nalan Qing was always left far away and was unwilling to take him with him, but this time he is still an indispensable existence.

The apse became quiet again, Nalan Qing thought about all kinds of things about Yun Jin, the corners of his lips always raised unconsciously.Just thinking of the sudden incident during the day, I was actually blocked because of my internal strength, and I was almost in danger.If something really happened in the future, wouldn't she not even have the ability to save Yunjin, and there would be no expert in the palace who could sense her deep inner strength.

Li Ruo, the commander of the forbidden army, was mostly in Chengyang Palace, and the number of times she came to Yunqi Palace was very few, so she didn't seem to need to seal her internal strength anymore.

Thinking of this, Nalanqing turned around and went back to the house, and began to unseal the big acupoint and release his internal energy.She intersected her hands, her breath sank to her dantian, her luck rushed to her acupoints, the heavens and the earth, her inner strength transformed into wind, raised her temples and hair.

The bright moon was like frost, and a figure suddenly appeared in the apse, which was originally empty.The first time she stepped into Nalanqing's residence, she didn't really know where she lived, so she was looking for it, but the sudden and deep internal force attracted her attention.

When she was sure that it was a certain room, she tiptoed forward to check it out. Through the window, she was shocked to find that Nalan Qingzheng was practicing cross-legged kungfu, and powerful internal force was being released from the body.

Lin Zirui recalled that on the day of the imperial examination, Nalan Qingming's martial arts were mediocre, but she was more than enough to cope with the exam, but he never thought that she had such deep internal energy, so it turned out that it was because she sealed her acupoints to hide her real martial arts?

Before she could think any deeper, a powerful internal force dragged her in, no matter how hard she tried to resist, it was useless, and she fell heavily from the window into the room.

"Who is sneaking around?" Nalan Qing straightened up, Lin Zirui suddenly felt fearful with that cold gaze. What kind of temperament is this? former mystery.

"The lower officials have no intention of intruding." Lin Zirui stumbled to his feet, looking at Nalan Qing with some fear in his eyes.

"It's you." Nalan Qing had a deep impression on her, and she was the only one who was really talented in the palace examination, so Yun Jinxicai used her, and now she is a Bachelor of Arts in Wenshu Academy.

"Who are you? Martial arts are so high." Lin Zirui stood up, eyes like this, looking at Nalan Qing, he only felt that she was different and had an extraordinary temperament. In the palace examination, she felt that she was definitely not a thing in the pool, but he didn't expect it to be so deep. unpredictable.

Nalan Qing smiled lightly, calmly, "Nalan Qing."

"Nalan Qing??" Lin Zirui was startled, "On the wedding night, the emperor of Qing took the Nalan Qing as the Patriarch of the Nalan Clan because he was unmarried all his life??"

"Exactly."

Lin Zirui couldn't believe it, but he was sure of it. Just imagine who else in the world has this ability except Nalanqing, with a graceful demeanor, who passed the palace examination but concealed his edge, and now still has such a demeanor, calm and composed, to be discovered Identity is not lost.

Nalan Qing's name has long been known all over the world, who would not want to see her demeanor, it is rumored that she is not bound by the secular world, not bound by the etiquette and family, and is alone in the world.Lin Zhirui never expected that one day he would see her true face with his own eyes.

"I didn't expect to see Patriarch Nalan in my lifetime. I'm really lucky to be an official." Lin Zirui was inexplicably delighted. Maybe she wanted to visit because she was worried that Lan Qing would protect the emperor, but she didn't expect to have unexpected gains.

"Are you done? Let's go." Nalan's cold words sounded, she was not like usual, she opened a deep distance, this is the demeanor that Nalan Patriarch should have, Lin Zirui is not angry, just A little surprised, just let her go?

"Aren't you afraid that I will expose you?"

Nalan Qing shot a sharp gaze, and Lin Zirui took two steps back in shock, only to see her sneer without changing expression, "It's easier for me to kill you than to crush an ant, but you don't have the ability to expose me."

Lin Zirui had never seen a woman with such a powerful aura, even higher than the powerful queen mother, but she didn't feel disgusted at all, but she had a little more appreciation and respect for Nalanqing. She adjusted her breath and smiled Meaning, "Patriarch Nalan's aura is extraordinary, there must be a reason for what he does, the officials won't ask too many questions, and I didn't see anything today, but the people in this deep palace are unpredictable. Today, I learned that the Patriarch is in danger to save the holy car, presumably the Patriarch An Ran has resolved it, and the next official will be relieved when he sees that you are fine."

Seeing that she knew how to advance and retreat, Na Lanqing calmed down slightly, "Be cautious in your words and deeds, you should call me Lord Lan."

"Yes, I entered the palace together with Mr. Lang. I don't know the way of officialdom. There are no relatives and friends in this palace. I am lucky to be a colleague with Mr. Lang. Don't dislike Mr. Lang's clumsiness, Mr. Wanwang. I sincerely hope... I hope that one day I can become confidantes with Mrs. Lan." Lin Zirui looked at Nalan Qing with a glint of light in his eyes, what she said seemed to be the way of the officialdom, but her words and deeds were all about wanting to get close to her.

When she first entered the officialdom, she was bound to stand in line. Lin Zirui was only a small Bachelor of Arts, so it was understandable to have this idea. Nalan Qing might be an ambitious person when he saw her.She is very smart and wants to cling to Nalan Qing, a person in Yunqi Palace, because one day she is bound to become the queen mother's confidant, and being in the same breath with her is equivalent to becoming the queen mother's person.

It's just that Lin Zirui may have selfish motives besides this, and Na Lanqing once investigated her. She is the niece of Mr. Cao in the Ministry of War.This background seems to be no problem, but Nalan Qing's intuition told her that this woman is not simple.

Now that he is taking great pains to get close to him, I am afraid that this woman is the real one with ulterior motives. If he gets closer to her, maybe he can find out something.If she wanted to harm Yun Jin, Nalan Qing could at least prevent it from happening.

"Ms. Lin was joking, you and I are officials in the same court, and we should take care of each other." Nalan Qing's tone softened.

"I see that there is wine in the courtyard. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to have a drink with Mr. Lang to make up for the crime of trespassing today." Lin Zirui was well-mannered, with a handsome appearance and elegant clothes, and it was difficult to conceal his graceful figure.

In fact, she was selfish, she wanted to get close to Nalan Qing, even though she was so cold, she still couldn't help but want to get close.

"Okay, please." Nalan Qing didn't refuse, since she is so active in showing her kindness now, why not use this to make friends and know yourself and your enemy.

The act of testing loyalty specially prepared for Nalan Qing this time was originally a bureau, and with her wisdom, she might not be able to see it.Yun Jin can always think of her lost eyes and lonely back during the day, does she really see that this is a game?

Holding the book in hand, she hadn't turned the pages for a long time. It was the first time that Yun Jin was so absorbed in thinking about something that even Yuan Xi realized that her eyes were on the book and her heart was elsewhere.

"The Empress Dowager seems to have something on her mind today?" Yuan Xi flicked the wick lightly to brighten up the lights in the bedroom.

The red-chip candlelight reflected Yun Jin's worried face, "Do you feel that today's clear mood is not right?"

The queen mother finally found out that Nalan Qing was in a bad mood?Yuan Xi was delighted in his heart, but he still said unhurriedly, "Your servant thought that the queen mother only cares about the safety of the emperor, and doesn't care about Mrs. Lang?"

"This time she sacrificed her life to protect the emperor. She made a great contribution. How could the Ai family ignore her?" Yun Jin put down the book, and the moment when Nalan Qing rushed out without hesitation came to mind. As expected, but I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

This sense of discomfort made Yunjin a little uneasy, she guessed that maybe Nalanqing saw that it was a game, maybe because of something she felt lost.After returning to the palace from the hunting ground, she remained silent all the time, and even disappeared without being summoned.

"My servant also thinks that Mr. Lang seems to be in a bad mood, and he didn't eat dinner. I heard that he is drinking alone in the back hall."

"Drinking alone?" Yun Jin sighed lightly, maybe he should have cared about her at the time, but it seemed a bit redundant for her identity.

In short, Lan Qing did not disappoint her.

"Yeah, maybe Mr. Lan just wants to hear a word of concern from the Queen Mother, maybe I was scared today, and the slaves don't know." Yuan Xi said this deliberately, but in fact he knew very well in his heart. She was spotted by Nalan Qing, and the guard who rushed out was almost certainly from the Nalan family.

I really can't imagine, if it wasn't for that guard, the two arrows would have been inserted into Nalan Qing's body.

The only ones who knew that the two arrows were fake arrows were Li Ruo and the two people who were carrying out the mission. They followed Yun Jin's orders. No matter it was for the safety of the emperor or Nalan Qing, real arrows could not be used.The two deliberately seized the opportunity and shot when Nalanqing's vision and position were most convenient.

Yun Jin calculated all the endings accurately, if the two arrows really hit the emperor or Na Lanqing in the end, he could use an excuse to say that he was afraid that the sword would have no eyes, so he changed the arrow and the guard took the wrong arrow.Even though she knew that Li Ruo was safe, Yun Jin was still afraid that the guards would take the real arrow instead of the fake one.

It's her villain's heart that judges a gentleman's belly, and caring about Nalan Qing doesn't lose her status.

"Yuanxi, let's go for a walk with Ai's family." Yun Jin stood up, and Yuanxi stepped forward with a smile, "Yes."

She knew that the Empress Dowager had softened her heart.

Yun Jin didn't really want to go out for a walk, but walked towards the back hall. Yuan Xi was really happy for Na Lanqing.

Nalan Qing's residence is located in the back hall as soon as he enters the courtyard, it is separated from other palace people, and it is very close to Yunqi Palace, so few people can disturb it on weekdays.Yun Jin wanted to take a look after hearing that she was drinking alone in depression, but when she walked to the door, she heard someone talking.

"Didn't you say she was drinking alone?" Yun Jin turned to look at Yuan Xi.

"I did see Mrs. Lan alone in the evening, so who could be here?" Yuan Xi was curious, Nalan Qing usually wouldn't chat with people, let alone have a drink with them in his own residence?

It's just that when he walked to the door, he saw Na Lanqing and Lin Zirui chatting happily from a distance, the two asked the moon about wine and chanted poems against each other.

This... Yuan Xi glanced at Yun Jin depressedly. She had never seen Patriarch Nalan get along with anyone like this before. When did this female official have such a good relationship with her? She had never seen them have such a good relationship. other contacts.

The light moonlight shone on Yunjin's body, and her deep pupils were bottomless, reflecting Nalan Qing's figure.

"Next time I find out, I'll tell Ai's family. I think she is very happy, where is the melancholy coming from?" She turned around blankly, and walked back without saying a word. Yuan Xi hurriedly followed, only I feel that Yunjin's aura around him is getting colder.

"Yes...."

This time she was really hurt by Patriarch Nalan, the empress dowager's obvious anger was transferred to herself, Yuan Xi really complained in his heart.
