Charming beauty

In the middle of the day, the sun was strong, shattered like gold, and slanted into the corridor, making people unable to open their eyes. Yi stood beside Nalan Mei, watched the man trot all the way to Nalan Mei, and bowed respectfully: "My lord, Your Majesty urgently recruits!"

Nalan Mei glanced at him quietly, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you know what's going on?"

"My lord, I don't know, I just know that His Majesty is calling urgently." The man shook his head slightly, and then said, "Eunuch Mu is waiting in the front hall." What he said meant that Nalan Mei should leave immediately.

Nalan Mei pondered for a while, and tightened her fingers under the sleeve slightly, "Then let's go." After saying that, she was about to leave.

However, there was a slight pulling force from the sleeve, the force was so light that it could be broken free with a slight movement, but this force still made Nalan Mei stop.

"Yi'er?"

He tilted his head, and Yizheng next to him was pulling Nalan Mei's sleeves, his fingers were trembling slightly, his eyes faintly revealed the cautiousness and hesitation in his heart, after hearing Nalan Mei's question, he seemed to wake up suddenly , and hastily let go, her voice was awkward, "Brother Mei, I'm sorry, I, I'm uncomfortable..." She lowered her head.

Nalan Mei raised the corner of her mouth, but told the man to go out to entertain Eunuch Mu first, and then turned back to look at Yi after the man had left, with a soft voice, "What did Yier want to say just now?"

"No, I didn't want to say anything." She looked lonely, "I just want Brother Mei to listen to Yier playing the piano, but Brother Mei seems to be very busy."

"Tomorrow." Nalan Mei said softly, Yi raised her head, and accidentally bumped into Nalan Mei's quietly smiling eyes, which were as warm as jade, as clear as spring water, deep and peaceful, "It just so happens that I will go to Prince Qing's Mansion tomorrow. How about playing then?" Yi stared at him in a daze, then nodded heavily, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and even her eyes became bright, "Yes! Then tomorrow Yi'er will wait for Brother Mei!" Then For fear that Nalan Mei would regret it, she turned around and ran away, her voice could be heard from a distance, "Brother Mei must go!"

Nalan Mei watched the pink figure disappear at the corner of the corridor, and the smile gradually faded from the corner of his mouth. He coughed lightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He stood there for a while before walking to the front hall. Glancing at the sky, the clouds in the sky are thin, empty and boundless, the sun is still transparent and glaring, but there is a trace of solemnity in Nalan Mei's eyes.

A companion is like a tiger, nothing happens, and he does not go to the Three Treasures Hall. This time, he will be summoned for Yu Wushang and Murong You. In Emperor Ning's plan to unify Yuedu, the top of the list must be removed. As the protector of the country, Nalan Mei should follow Emperor Jing Ning's intention and kill them quickly. It is no wonder that some people have the idea that Nalan Mei is in a high position and does not take Emperor Jing Ning seriously.

But even so, there are still people who are interested in seeing the clues.

Although Nalan Mei resisted the decree, he actually maintained the internal stability of Yuedu Kingdom. If Nalan Mei killed Yu Wushang and Murong You according to Emperor Jingning's wishes, he might be able to deter Qi Yanguo for a while, but he could not guarantee Qi Yanguo Never invade, and Murongyou, once Murongyou dies, the rivers and lakes that are already swaying for the position of the martial arts leader will be like a huge stone falling into the lake, and there will be more than a hundred thousand waves. At that time, Yuedu Kingdom will be like a salon. It will collapse when touched.

From this point of view, is Nalan Mei an unforgivable crime and must return to the teacher?As for Emperor Jingning, after hearing the news of Nalan Mei's blatant resistance to the decree, although he did not express his position, the stern look in his eyes when he heard the news was clearly reflected in the eyes of the ministers, and in their minds, Unconsciously, he circled out four words, even if he was forced to, even if the circumstances were justifiable, even if Nalan Mei devoted himself to death, under the imperial power, he could not escape the crime of "high meritorious deeds".

Those with high meritorious deeds, since ancient times, have only two fates: be demoted and punished, and executed.But Nalan Mei is a generation of national teachers, but he is a criminal under the hero, what will be the fate waiting for him?

Royal garden, flower viewing pavilion.The golden dragon-bead veil swayed gently, as if covered with a layer of golden light, and the sandalwood was lingering. In the fragrance of tea, Emperor Jing Ning held the tea cup with his hands together, and then put it down slowly, his eyes glanced at the waiter outside the pavilion. The palace people, those palace people were all shivered by this incomprehensible gaze, and they were afraid that Emperor Jingning would take them under the knife if something went wrong.

Finally, someone came to report and eased the atmosphere a little: "Your Majesty, the national teacher is already outside the garden."

"Xuan."

Not long after, a slender figure came slowly at the entrance of the garden. His complexion was as white as snow, gentle and elegant, and his graceful demeanor immediately attracted shy and cautious sideways glances from the court ladies. Gentle and unable to hear emotions: "My minister is late."

"Exemption." Emperor Jing Ning smiled, and then turned away from the left and right. In a blink of an eye, there were only two of them around the flower viewing pavilion, one of them was sitting in the pavilion in a black and yellow dragon robe, and the other was standing in a purple suit Outside the straight pavilion, the two sat and stood, separated by a layer of flying black silk and gold gauze, but it seemed that there was a world apart, and no one could get close to the other.

"National teachers don't need to be polite, come in and sit down." Emperor Jingning put down the teacup.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nalan Mei lowered her eyes and thanked her.

After slightly closing his eyes, he started to enter the pavilion. There was a chessboard on the stone table in the pavilion, and there were exquisite dishes beside the chess records. Tea was also prepared. Nalan Mei stood opposite the chessboard under the signal of Emperor Jing Ning. Sit down, glance at the chess cup, the other is holding the white chess, and I am holding the black chess.Chess game, chess moves, all can know people's feelings, Emperor Jing Ning really has ulterior motives!

Emperor Jingning smiled warmly, but did not mention the chess game, "The national teacher's face is pale, how is his health?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I am in good health." Nalan Mei greeted him politely.

"It's good to be safe, this trip is really hard for the national teacher!" Emperor Jingning sighed sincerely, but Nalan Mei was modest and elegant, avoiding the theory of merit, "This is what a humble minister should do, your majesty don't need to worry about it." .”

Emperor Jing Ning sighed slightly, a little helpless, "The reason for summoning the national teacher today, I think the national teacher already knows it in his heart." Nalan Mei's brows did not move, but his eyes were deeply darkened, The emperor sighed again and said: "The matter of the prince accepting the concubine is all on my own will, everything is wrong on me, the prince can only do what I want, I hope the national teacher will not blame the prince, the prince will still treat the princess as before. , Regarding this point, I can assure you, the national teacher can rest assured."

On the other hand, Nalan Mei smiled lightly, her thoughts were calm and her intentions were unclear, "Your Majesty is worrying too much." After a pause, he continued, "Is your Majesty summoning this humble minister only for the matter of the Crown Princess?"

"That's not true." Emperor Jing Ning shook his head, "I invited the national teacher to enter the palace, just want to have a meal with the national teacher, and invite the prince by the way, so that the prince can apologize to the national teacher in person."

"How dare you." Nalan Mei smiled, her eyes suddenly far-reaching, but she couldn't see heat or coldness, "Besides, the person His Highness wants to apologize for is not a humble minister." Then he said, before Emperor Jingning could react, Ting There was a voice from outside, sweet and greasy, with joy: "Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

Nalan Mei softened his face in an instant, and the sharp edge that was naturally emanating from the brows disappeared in an instant. He stood up, out of the habit of reaching out his hand to catch the little rash who rushed into the pavilion, and patted him on the head: "Your Majesty In front of you, don't be rude."

Yue Duyu stuck out his tongue, and then saluted Emperor Jingning: "I have seen the father!" Just after the salute, Nalan Mei stuck to him, and Nalan Mei stretched out his hand to flick his head: "There are children now!" , why are you so reckless?" In exchange for Yue Duyu's grimace, Nalan Mei smiled softly.

"No, no." Emperor Jing Ning waved his hand with a smile, turned his head to look for Yue Du Tou's figure, and the next second, Yue Du Tou appeared at the gate of the garden, and after a while, he stepped into the pavilion, first looked at Nalan Mei and Yue Duyu glanced at each other, then bowed to Emperor Jing Ning and saluted: "I have seen the father." After a slight pause, he turned to Nalan Mei again, and froze for a long time, as if he had made a great determination to do it again. Bowing, "I have seen the national teacher." The language is flat and without joy or anger, showing the etiquette of a prince of a country.

Nalan Mei was slightly surprised by Yue Dutou's sudden change, he was slightly stunned, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by his father-in-law's report: "Your Majesty, Prince Qing, please see me!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Mu took the order and left.

The wind is sunny and the sun is golden. Yue Duqing took the first step into the garden, and cast his eyes on Nalan Mei. There was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. Nalan Mei in the pavilion seemed to understand his thoughts, and turned slightly He shook his head, as if to say: Don't worry, I'm fine.The dark color in Yue Duqing's eyes slowly disappeared.This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Emperor Jing Ning. Emperor Jing Ning looked at Yue Du Tou, who was looking at Yue Du Qing with deep thought in his eyes, and Emperor Jing Ning turned his gaze to Yue Du He, who was looking at Yue Du Qing waved his hand and called out in a sweet voice: "Brother Qing!"

Is Yue Duqing's arrival really just a coincidence?

While thinking, Yue Duqing walked into the pavilion, bowed to salute, also bowed to Yue Du Tou and Nalan Mei, Emperor Jing Ning waved his dragon sleeves, and the four of them sat down.

The Imperial Dining Room acted very quickly, and served delicious food in no time. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the pavilion was depressing.Yuedu was supposed to sit next to Yuedutou, but he insisted on sticking to Nalan Mei's side, he insisted on inserting a seat between Nalanmei and Yueduqing, and Yuedutou's eyes would glance over from time to time , watching Nalan Mei and Yue Duqing really lose their appetite,

Emperor Jing Ning also seemed to see that something was wrong with it, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to adjust the atmosphere absent-mindedly. , the atmosphere not only did not ease up, but even more embarrassing, and a good meal was as tasteless as chewing wax.

"Hey, senior brother, is the leader of the martial arts alliance as beautiful as the one in the legend?!" Yue Duyu squeezed into Nalan Mei's arms and asked innocently, "Have you ever compared yourself to him, senior brother? Who looks better with senior brother? Does senior brother have a portrait of him?"

The pair of silver chopsticks in Yuedu Tou's hand was about to break, but the surface was still calm. Yueduqing's movement of extending the chopsticks paused because of these problems, and Nalan Mei even had cold sweat on his forehead, sighing secretly. Which pot should be mentioned if the pot is not open? How can Murong You be mentioned on this occasion?

Sure enough, Emperor Jing Ning's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he seemed to be interested.

"By the way, the Crown Princess didn't mention it, but I forgot, what kind of person is this Murong You, can the national teacher tell me? I am quite curious about this Murong You."

Yuedu Tou also turned to him, with a happy smile in his eyes, "Yes, I heard that the national teacher and Murongyou have a very close relationship, so good that they almost share the same bed, I believe the national teacher must know Murongyou very well."

Nalan Mei choked on his words, perhaps stung by the irony implied in Yue Dutou's words, his face was also a little stiff, but he recovered in an instant, and turned the topic back with a smile, "Your Highness is so clear and slightly I must have studied the matter between President Murong and President Murong carefully. With His Highness's intelligence, I believe that I know more about President Murong than I do. Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to say more If what I say at that time is contrary to His Highness’s knowledge, wouldn’t this be deceitful?” It was like a sharp sword shooting at Yuedu Tou, mocking the man he sent people to follow. Little people act.

Yue Dutou immediately hardened his face, and the silver chopsticks in his hands were slightly bent. It can be seen how much effort Yuedutou used to hold back the anger.However, Yue Duyu casually glanced at Yue Dutou, and hummed indifferently, "So what if you share the same bed with the leader? Is it none of your business? Why are you questioning me here?"

"You!" Yuedu stood up abruptly, with a terrifying expression on his face, who knew that Yuedu'an didn't pay attention to him at all, he raised himself from Nalan Mei's arms, raised his chin haughtily, and looked at him with disdain, "What's wrong with me? Am I wrong? Do you have anything to do with the brother and the leader? What right do you have to ask?" Yue Dutou's face was dark, and he was obviously extremely angry, but he was trying his best to control his emotions. Emotions, I don’t want to lose my mind and hurt Wu’er like last time, but being so accused in front of Emperor Jingning and Nalan Mei, even the best self-cultivation will dissipate in the wind, “Wu’er, don’t go too far! "

Yue Duyu was taken aback for a moment, as if he suddenly realized what he was doing. He blinked, his eyes changed, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. I'm angry with you, who told you to go too far last time!"

Yue Du was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable, "Wan'er, you, did you forgive me?"

The worried face was reflected in the corner of Yuedu's eyes. He looked at himself with a sweet smile in Yuedu's eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and nodded heavily, "Well, don't be angry anymore!" Yuedu suddenly felt hopeful. At the end of the month, the thousand years of the month, the feeling of keeping the clouds open to see the moon, regardless of the presence of Emperor Jing Ning and Nalan Mei, he reached out and hugged Yuedu into his arms, but was pushed away by Yuedu. Hong reminded him softly, "Someone is here!"

Emperor Jingning has been quietly observing Nalan Mei's reaction. His face is pale, but his expression is light, and he even has a slight smile, but there is a touch of worry in his eyes looking at Yue Duyu, and his eyes move down slightly. From the clenched palms of Nalan Mei's fists, it can be seen that he is not as calm and breezy as on the surface, and seems to be trying his best to hide a kind of emotion and impulse.Turning his eyes to look at Yueduqing, he rested his chin on one hand, looked at Yueduyu calmly, his fingers tapped the rim of the cup in his hand rhythmically, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Emperor Jing Ning was about to get up, but Nalan Mei stood up first, "Your Majesty, since the meal has been eaten, I kneel down and bid farewell." After finishing speaking, before Emperor Jing Ning could speak, he lightly swept Yue Du's hand With a glance at Yuedu, he turned and left the pavilion, his footsteps seemed a little hurried, Yuedu An waved to his back, "Senior brother, come and see An'er often!"

On the other side, Yue Duqing got up as well, "Your Majesty is taking my leave." With a wave of his sleeves, he also walked out of the pavilion. In a blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared outside the garden gate.

"Ah!" Yue Duyu seemed to suddenly think of something, and ran after him, "Brother, you haven't given me Murongyou's portrait yet!"

Unexpectedly, when he chased to the door, what he saw was Nalan Mei's slowly falling back——

"Brother!"
