Qingyun Weiyang

Autumn is high and crisp, gradually entering the hunting ground in early winter. The scenery is pleasant. Looking from a distance, the autumn water is as long as the sky.This is the royal hunting ground, where kings and grandsons ride horses and shoot arrows. It is very close to the barracks, and soldiers often come to practice with them.

Nalan Qing hoped that all her conjectures were wrong. Yun Jin's suspicion was not as serious as she thought. Fortunately, she also came to the hunting ground herself, which finally made Nalan Qing feel less uncomfortable.

Today Qin Yu is wearing a golden armor battle uniform, with his hair tied up in a high bun and a brocade belt around his forehead, he is very handsome.Yun Jin sat on the table, sipping tea calmly, watching the horses and shooting.

Nalan Qing couldn't help looking at her, Yun Jin's gestures were just like Princess Xian's demeanor, only a little more distinguished.A person who was so pleasing to the eye, who used to be so simple, has now become such a suspicious empress dowager.

Even though she told herself many reasons, she could understand her, but when she thought about what Shi Han told her last night, her heart still felt cold.

Looking at Qin Yu galloping on the horse, Nalan was dazed, staring into the distance without focus, absent-minded.

Yun Jin always felt that Nalan Qing was a little out of order today, and she was not used to being so quiet. She used to pay attention to herself, but today she has been distracted.

"Lanqing." Yun Jin put down the cup and called her softly.

Nalan Qing did not respond.

Why is she distracted again?Yuan Xi moved slowly and called softly, "Master Lang, the Queen Mother is calling you."

Hearing Yuanxi's suggestion, Na Lanqing turned his head and bowed, "Damn me, I was attracted by the emperor's posture of riding a horse and shooting arrows, but I didn't hear the queen mother call me a minister."

"Do you think the emperor's equestrian skills are okay?"

It's not up to her to judge how the emperor's equestrian skills are. Na Lanqing didn't know why she asked this question, but he still replied as usual, "The emperor is the proud son of heaven, and no one can match him."

"Really?" Yun Jin flipped the cup and gently pushed aside the tea leaves floating on the water, "Aijia hopes that you are different from others, unlike others who only have a bureaucratic tone. Aijia has heard too much flattery. What is required is loyalty and sincerity."

This was what Yun Jin said from the bottom of her heart. She hoped that Lan Qing would be a pure and loyal person, with such a clean background, but so unfathomable, how could Yun Jin not feel worried.

This kind of words is also a hint that she hopes that her lieutenant officer will be different from other court officials.

"I understand." Of course, Nalan Qing could understand what Yun Jin said. She glanced at Qin Yu and found that after he rode the steed, he didn't jump for joy, didn't even smile, and even felt a little lost.

Yun Jin must have understood her son's mind, so she asked herself this question on purpose.

Why is the little emperor like this?Nalan Qing could guess one or two, but he was not sure, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.Maybe he was so lost when he thought of his father, King Xian. Although King Xian was mediocre back then, his archery skills were top-notch, and his arrows were flawless.Presumably, every time he shoots an arrow, the little emperor misses his father. Unfortunately, after the Four Kingdoms War, the virtuous king went to the battlefield and never came back.

Qin Yu rode around, got off his horse and walked to the shooting range. The positions of the targets were staggered, and the bull's-eyes looked messy. If you don't have a certain archery foundation, it is difficult to hit the target completely.

"The cavalry and archery team of the Royal Forest Army come here together. I will compete with you. I will reward those who perform well." Qin Yu holds the bow in his hand, and his handsome face is full of confidence.

"Yes!" The cavalry and archery team stepped forward one after another, leading their bows and shooting arrows. Everyone's archery targets were painted with different colors. With twenty arrows, whoever hits the most bull's-eyes will win.

Qin Yu rode a war horse and lined up with the cavalry and archery team. The rules of the competition had to be horseback archery and not miss the target in order to win, which made hitting the target even more difficult.Following the eunuch's shout, ten fast horses rushed out together. Qin Yu pulled out a sharp arrow from the sheath, and before he shot it, he saw that someone beside him had hit the bull's-eye.

Not to be outdone, he fired two swords in a row and hit the bull's-eye, but the second arrow was quickly shot to the ground.He glared at the guard, and continued to control the saddle, hesitating that the horse was not as controlled as usual, and it was not easy to move quickly to hit the bull's-eye.

The horse's hoof rolled up dust and flew over the hunting ground, and his vision suddenly became gray.Qin Yu's arrow technique is very skillful and outstanding. He shot all twenty arrows very quickly, but the remaining guards are still competing fiercely. If they shoot down other people's arrows, at least once they can all die together.

No one dared to shoot his arrow lightly, but others fought hard for the reward.Qin Yu smiled and rode to the side to watch the battle. It is very difficult to win on the battlefield without means. He always remembered the tactics taught by the former empress.

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, rewards should be rewarded, and punishments should be punished. A king can only establish his prestige under the combination of grace and power.

"Emperor, come here to rest for a while. The Ai family sees that these people will fight for a while." Yun Jin waved to Qin Yu gently, her eyes full of doting, which really made Na Lanqing envious. No taste qualifications yet.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Qin Yu got off his horse, and a smile finally appeared on his originally stern face.

He ran towards Yun Jin briskly, without feeling the danger approaching at all. For some reason, two cold arrows suddenly flew towards him at extremely high speed. This distance and position was first discovered by Na Lanqing. Use internal force to change the direction of the arrow.

"Damn it." Nalan Qing thought, when she wanted to gather her true energy, she remembered that she had sealed her internal energy and couldn't use any moves at all.

Yun Jin turned pale with shock, Yuan Xi yelled, "Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Before Qin Yu knew what had happened, Nalanqing had already rushed forward, pulled him into his arms, turned around, and turned his back on the flying arrow.

Everything happened so suddenly, at the very moment, two sword lights knocked down the sharp arrow.Shi Han flew out and looked at Nalan Qing in horror, but the word Patriarch didn't come out from his lips, "Master Lan, are you alright?"

Nalan Qing glared at him, he suddenly understood and quickly changed his words, "Your Majesty is well."

At this time, how could Shihan ask Nalan Qing about his safety? It was too suspicious.Perhaps everyone was still in shock, so they didn't notice this detail.

"Emperor." Yun Jin's face paled, and she quickly stepped forward, pulling Qin Yu over to check her body.

Nalan Qing just looked at her lonely, with only his son in his eyes, completely ignoring himself.She smiled wryly, she was not injured anyway, after all, she was her own son, how could she compare with her?

But in my heart, I'm really sad.

"I'm fine, Mr. Lang gave his life to save me, I'll remember your credit." Qin Yu looked at Nalan Qing with a smile, but she just nodded slightly to Qin Yu.

Yun Jin just glanced at him, didn't greet Na Lanqing, but began to ask the blame in anger, "Whose arrow is so presumptuous!"

The two guards got off their horses in a panic, almost kneeling on their stomachs, "I'm guilty, I'm an arrow."

"It was the minister who shot in the wrong direction, please forgive me, the Empress Dowager."

The two kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and then checked the colors of the two arrows. They were indeed the ones who did it.

"Is there any reason for this? Don't you know I'm here? You dare to shoot here casually, what should you do!" Qin Yu roared angrily, showing his majestic aura.

"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, I beg the emperor and queen mother to forgive me." The two trembled, this is a serious crime of beheading, anyone would be terrified, if they really hurt the emperor, the consequences would be disastrous.

But Nalan clearly felt that the two of them were not really afraid, and Yun Jin's mood gradually returned to calm, only the little emperor was kept in the dark, and his anger was unbearable.

"This kind of competition is not allowed in the future, Huanger, this is the reward you proposed. How to deal with these two people, you can see for yourself." Although Yun Jin handed over the punishment to Qin Yu, but what she meant It is already clear that the emperor himself has an inexcusable responsibility.

Qin Yu is smart and understands Yun Jin's character, so he can naturally understand what she means.

"Pull it down for me, hit [-] big boards each, and pay a one-year fine!" Qin Yu's punishment was just right, and the two guards thanked them again and again. Even though the [-] big boards might cost them half their lives, it was better than losing their lives. .

It's really a wonderful double reed, I'm afraid she and the little emperor are being played around, Na Lanqing can't help but sigh in his heart, in order to test loyalty, would he not hesitate to take her life to try?Yun Jin just didn't care about her life or death.

If the arrow were really shot at her today, maybe what died was not her body, but her heart.

Yun Jin remained silent, but raised her eyes to look at Na Lanqing from time to time, showing her sincerity in critical moments. At that moment just now, she must have been sincere.

In fact, Yunjin's purpose is very simple, to test whether Nalan Qing is loyal, and whether she will turn a blind eye when given a chance to save her at such a position and distance.If she really enters the palace with ulterior motives, as long as she doesn't harm the emperor, nothing else matters. If she really came to threaten her son, then Yun Jin can't tolerate her.

This is a kind of instinct in a critical moment. Fortunately, Lan Qing did not disappoint her, and Yun Jin was relieved. This is the ending she hoped for. She hoped that Lan Qing would be absolutely loyal and that she could always be used by her.

She was clearly able to predict the thrilling moment just now, but when she saw Nalan Qing rushing out, she was actually a little worried. It was because of this emotion that she shouldn't have that she didn't greet Nalan Qing, just like Feeling guilty, unable to say anything.

But how could Nalan Qing know what Yun Jin was thinking, her mood had already hit rock bottom.If Shi Han hadn't rushed out, would she, Patriarch of the Nalan Clan, be killed in the hunting grounds? It's really ironic, it's nothing more than a vigorous death, and it's really chilling to die under the temptation of a loved one.

"Lord Lan is so desperate to take the lead." Yun Jin smiled, and turned to look at Shi Han, "What's your name, you're skilled, and you've made great achievements, so you should be rewarded."

"Back to the queen mother, minister Ren Han." Shi Han had already made up a name for himself, today was a thrilling day, he was still going to the theater, who knew that the Patriarch rushed out like that, it was almost too late.

"Ren Han has done a great job in rescuing him, and he has been promoted to be the chief guard of Yunqi Palace. Get up."

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

There are rewards and punishments for a false alarm, except for the sentence "Master Lang has been the first to take the lead", Yun Jin didn't have a word of superfluous concern.Even if it is to look at her more and ask her if she is injured, but she only has her own son in her eyes, and treats herself just like everyone else.

In the evening, Na Lanqing did not stand by in the Yunqi Palace, but just sat in the courtyard with a jug in hand and drank alone.Fortunately, the residence arranged by Yuanxi was separated from other palace people so that she could have her own quiet time.

Today's wine is her homemade sweet-scented osmanthus brew. It is a good wine with a delicate fragrance and elegant taste, but today it is very warm, as if it can burn the throat.

Looking for things in her position, Yun Jin is now in a high position, she is like an emperor, guarding against infidelity, inhumanity and even betrayal, she understands, she understands the bitterness and helplessness of that position.But why is such a reasonable self so sad?

Shouldn't it? !Love is indeed poisonous, Na Lanqing felt that he might as well get drunk and rest.

"My lord~~~ I'll drink with you?" Shihan always appeared unexpectedly.

"You are everywhere." Nalan Qing didn't raise his head, just poured himself a drink.

"Hey, the little one is going to follow the Patriarch like a shadow. By the way, Patriarch, the little one has been promoted, why don't you praise me?"

"Do you think being promoted is a good thing?" Nalan Qing glared at him, "If you show your sharpness, you will become the target of public criticism. If you attract others' attention, how will you do things for me in the future?"

"Eh..." Shihan really didn't expect this level, he didn't come to the palace to seek an official, he didn't care about this official from Sesame Mung Bean, he just wanted to boast, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating ?

"Well, how's the investigation going?"

"How do you know that the little one went to check the arrow?" Shi Han thought, why can't he hide his little thoughts from the Patriarch?It was so dangerous today, and he already knew that the queen mother did it on purpose, so he naturally wanted to check the reality of that cold arrow.

He took out a piece of white cloth from his bosom, which was wrapped with two arrowheads, which he had painstakingly obtained. As soon as the hunting was over, he followed those people secretly, and pulled them out of the arrowheads while they were unawares. He quickly came to find Nalanqing.

Nalanqing picked up the arrow and looked at it, put his finger on the sharp point, and found that the arrow was false.

"Don't be surprised, these two arrows came prepared. The other arrows are innocent and can hurt people, but the two that were shot at the emperor are hollow and can't hurt people."

"So, she is still reluctant to really hurt me." Nalan Qing played with the arrow, the corners of his lips finally opened slowly, and his mood suddenly brightened.
