Qingyun Weiyang

Yun Jin's handwriting is still so beautiful, from the very first letter, Nalan Qing treasured every letter of hers.They used to be separated by thousands of miles, for the country and for the world, the two passed letters, and now they are close at hand, she is here, but Yun Jin doesn't know it.

Since entering the palace, nothing has troubled her yet, but Yun Jin suddenly proposed to summon Patriarch Nalan, which really troubled her.She couldn't find a reason to reject Yunjin, and she couldn't disobey the Queen Mother's order, but how could she solve this matter perfectly?

Pretending not to show up?Not right... Take leave and go back to your hometown?That was too far-fetched.

How can this be good?

On the night after the rain, there was a tinge of coldness. Nalanqing didn't feel sleepy at all, so he took a leisurely walk and walked to Wenshu Monastery before he knew it.Wenshu Monastery is not far from the apse, located in the northeast corner, where there are civil servants below the sixth rank, writing documents and drafting palace regulations and national laws every day.

Looking at the brightly lit Wenshu Monastery, Na Lanqing thought of Lin Zirui. In this deep palace, besides Shihan who could do things for her, she seemed to lack someone who could discuss countermeasures.It's just that she doesn't trust anyone, let alone Lin Zirui, but this person can indeed be used, and the more you use it, the more you can understand, and the more you understand, the more you can know his intentions, which may not be a bad thing.

This Lin Zirui, Na Lanqing hadn't had time to investigate her yet, and always felt that she was not simple.

Just as she was thinking, she felt someone approaching. She glanced at it lightly, pretending to be calm, and continued walking forward.

"Lord Lang." Lin Zirui's voice sounded.

Nalan Qing turned her head, her upright figure, elegant demeanor, and confidence on her face always moved Lin Zirui's heart.She was even a little nervous, and it was difficult to hide her joy in the darkness.

"Bachelor Lin."

"Haven't you rested so late?"

"I can't sleep, come out for a walk." Nalan Qing said and continued to walk forward, Lin Zirui stepped forward in three steps, closely following her pace.

Instinctively, Lin Zirui felt that Na Lanqing had something on his mind. She looked around to make sure that no one could hear their conversation, and then asked cautiously, "Your Majesty dares to guess, is Lord Lang worried about anything?"

"How do you know that?" Nalan said calmly, so coldly.

"Nowadays there are rumors in the palace that the Queen Mother is asking for aid to Nalan's family for disaster relief, and all officials in the court have also mentioned that the voice of encouraging businessmen to donate to Nalan's family is the highest. The Patriarch is good friends, and the Patriarch should not ignore it." Lin Zirui said while looking at Nalan Qing tentatively, after all, now that she knows Nalan Qing's identity, she always hopes that she can get closer to her.

"Scholar Lin is really smart, yes, the queen mother wants to meet me."

As expected, Lin Zirui was well-informed, and Nalanqing answered truthfully, let's see how she responds.

"Seeing you?" Lin Zirui quickly regained his composure after being surprised, his brows and eyes slightly raised, "Actually, this matter is not difficult, so you don't need to worry."

"Do you have a good plan?" Nalan Qing raised his eyebrows.

"When meeting the queen mother, why does the head of the family need to enter the palace in person? Everyone knows that Patriarch Nalan doesn't like restraint and court etiquette, not to mention how to relieve disasters, how to help the court, the head of the family and the queen mother have their own decisions, and they may not want to make it public Bar?"

Na Lanqing stopped, thinking about Lin Zirui's words, is she really a fan of the authorities?She could indeed choose not to enter the palace and seek to see Yun Jin outside the palace. In that case, as the commander, she would have excuses and reasons to leave the palace.What's more, it seemed that Yunjin really didn't want to be known, so she had to meet with herself alone to mention this matter.

"It's overkill for you to be a bachelor's officer." Nalan Qing smiled, feeling that this Lin Zirui was smarter than she imagined, and she probably suppressed her own edge to become a small bachelor of arts.

"If it wasn't for you, I would be the Zhongling Guan, but I would be willing to lose to you." Lin Zirui stared at Nalan Qing's eyes with affection, and when his eyes met, he could always see her blushing face, as if Bloom like a peach blossom.

"Scholar Lin, you're being humble." Nalan Qing withdrew her gaze. She was very familiar with this look, but she was unwilling to show any tenderness.

"Sir, can you call me Zi Rui in private? I always feel that I use my official name to make a difference."

"Zi Rui."

"Sister Lan." Lin Zirui's color of joy gradually showed, and he called her sister intimately without thinking.

"Sister Lan?" Nalan Qing always felt that this title made him old.

"Well, you are pure and sweet, elegant and charming, you live up to your name."

"You can talk." Nalan Qing rarely showed a smile, this moment of gentleness was enough to make Lin Zirui feel happy.While chatting and laughing, the two walked around Fengya Garden, never expecting to meet Yun Jin who was also unable to sleep.

Xu Shi was too worried about state affairs, and Yun Jin was always tossing and turning, so he went out for a walk accompanied by Yuan Xi, never expecting to meet Na Lanqing and Lin Zirui.

Yun Jin had heard that she and Lin Zirui were close, but she never expected that the two would meet for a leisurely walk at this hour.There was a smile on the corner of Nalan Qing's lips, and Lin Zirui's eyes never left her for a moment, every frown and smile was full of joy.

"It's so late, Master Lang is still with Lin Xueshi, they are really close recently." Yuan Xi was very puzzled, Nalan Qingming refused to go thousands of miles away, and rarely negotiated with others, why did he talk to this Lin Zirui? Walk together many times?

She said it unintentionally, but Yun Jin's words were a little harsh.

Yuanxi wondered if the queen mother would be a little unhappy?She glanced at Yun Jin secretly, seeing that her bottomless eyes did not see any ripples, she didn't know if she was enduring her emotions or she was really unmoved.Yun Jin just looked deeply at the intimacy between the two, turned and left expressionlessly.

Nalan Qing has always been keen, she could sense someone approaching nearby, and when she turned her eyes, she found Yun Jin's figure, she felt happy and hurriedly chased after him.

"The Queen Mother hasn't rested yet?" She often forgot to salute, just like this moment.

"Ai's family is about to rest." Yun Jin's tone was slightly cold, with her back turned to her without even turning around, Nalan Qing stepped forward and stood by her side, feeling that she was not happy, but worried about the disaster.

"Queen, you..."

"There is nothing wrong with Ai's family. You should continue strolling in the garden with Bachelor Lin." Yun Jin left without looking back. Na Lanqing just stared at her blankly and shook her head helplessly. Sometimes it's really hard to figure out.

Yuan Xi hurriedly followed, maybe it was her illusion, she always felt that Yun Jin was unhappy, "Queen Mother, are you angry?"

"What's so angry about the Ai family? It's inexplicable." Although Yun Jin's tone was indifferent, the words themselves sounded like anger. Yuan Xi must have thought too much recently to have this illusion.

Queen Mother, how could you be angry?What's more, it seems that there is nothing to be angry about?Yuan Xi didn't understand it for a moment.

The next day, at the court, Qin Yu issued the first imperial decree under Yunjin's instruction, and the first batch of grain was shipped to Shangzhou first.It's just that five thousand dans of food is just the tip of the iceberg. It's not yet winter, and it takes a huge amount to feed a person in Shangzhou throughout the winter.

Shangzhou was originally a grain-producing area. After the locust plague, many people had no source of income. Not only food, but also money became a worry for the court.

In the court hall, Qin Yu was sitting on the dragon chair, with Yun Jinfeng on the side, listening to the words of the officials.

"The empress dowager, the ministers feel that disaster relief is urgent, otherwise the people will panic. They should think that the treasury of Jidu is empty, the country is in full swing, and the time for unification is short. We must not let such rumors spread." It was Cui Shangshu who spoke, and now it is The first-rank official who dominates the Counselor's Office, since Ji University resigned, the style of the Counselor's Office has gradually turned against him.

"I feel that disaster relief is a matter of one day and one night. Whether it is appropriation of funds or distribution of food, the court will implement it in order, and send reliable people to guard the food. The drought when the empress was in power, we all vividly remember it. Corrupt officials and courtiers , the local area and Jidu are colluding, and now we must be careful, and the money and food must be distributed to the victims." Qi Xuan is an official of the Qin Tiansi, a second-rank official, a righteous person, upright, and has won the first prize since the previous dynasty. Appreciated by the queen.

"What Director Qi said is true. It's just that those businessmen are shirking each other and don't want to donate money. Please let the Queen Mother decide as soon as possible. What is the attitude of the Nalan family is the most important thing." Director Liu of the Household Department also agreed.

"I also feel that it is better to call Nalan Qing into the palace. The imperial merchants should put the country first, not the interests first." Minister of Military Aircraft, Mr. Wei, also played. These four are all ministers in the Assistant Secretary. The wind direction has absolute influence.

After the four people remonstrated, other officials followed suit one after another, "Please the emperor and the queen mother make a decision."

Qin Yu frowned slightly, and left Ji Qiuchen. The Assistant Political Secretary was still so arrogant.Although what they said was true, they were also forcing him to make a decision. The implication was that if he did not appease the hearts of the people, he, the emperor, would arouse criticism.

"What you say, I have my own decision." Qin Yu didn't know what to do, he couldn't lose his kingly aura in court, he unconsciously looked at Yun Jin, only to see that she was calm and composed, without changing her face, " The first batch of grain is already on the way, and the second batch of official bank and grain will be sent out at the same time. Just three days later, the Ministry of Households will count the grain and grass in the treasury and give the Ai family a clear number."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Retreat!"

After coming down to court, Qin Yu went back to Chengyang Palace first. Yun Jin asked him to think about how to balance the grievances of the people. This time the disaster relief was not as timely as usual, and he had to appease people's hearts.She herself hastily returned to Yunqi Palace. She knew how much silver and how much food there was in the treasury. The military rations must not be moved, and it would take time to collect donations from all the merchants. Can you rely on the Nalan family?

Yun Jin finds it ironic that a powerful country should be forced into such a situation by a plague of locusts.

"Where's Lanqing? Why is there no one when the Ai family sent her a letter?" Yun Jin couldn't see Nalanqing anywhere, wondering if she had sent the letter.

"My servant saw that Mr. Lang left the palace, so I should go to the Nalan Chamber of Commerce." Yuan Xi served the tea, it was rare to see Yun Jin so anxious, it seemed that the affairs of the court really made her anxious.

"When did you go out?"

"I left at Maoshi, and I was still in a hurry. I must be eager to share the court affairs with the Queen Mother."

"Well, I just don't know where Nalan Qing is?" Yun Jin propped his forehead, not thinking about eating or drinking.

"Patriarch Nalan has arrived in Jidu." Nalan Qing's voice came from outside the hall.

I don't know if it's her innate self-confidence or her resourcefulness, but before Yun Jin listened to her report, she felt relieved when she saw her expression, as if the matter was entrusted to her, she would definitely be able to handle it well.

"You said Nalanqing is in Jidu?"

"Exactly, here is the letter from Patriarch Nalan, inviting the Empress Dowager to share it outside the palace." Nalan Qing said and handed over the letter he had prepared.

Yuan Xi looked at Na Lanqing in surprise, could it be that this patriarch really has the skills to succeed?The queen mother invited to meet, and she really agreed to meet?Isn't prevarication safer?The Patriarch is really not afraid of revealing his identity.

Yun Jin quickly opened it. It was indeed Nalan Qing's handwriting. She could recognize it at a glance. I am afraid that few people in the world can imitate Nalan Qing's handwriting.

She claimed that she didn't like the red tape in the palace, and wanted to invite Yun Jin to visit the Nalan Chamber of Commerce in person to discuss disaster relief in detail.

"Is Nalanqing testing Aijia's sincerity?"

"Isn't this in line with the Queen Mother's wishes? It's not appropriate to publicize this matter. If people find out before there is any result, what kind of rumors will be caused. It would be safest for the Queen Mother to go there in person." Nalan Qing tried hard to persuade She, as long as she doesn't enter the palace, she has time to arrange everything as the head of the family, and she can handle it with ease.

"It's okay, Lanqing, prepare yourself and go with Ai's family." Yun Jin said casually, and Yuan Xi was in a cold sweat. The most embarrassing thing in the world is now, what should I do?

But when she saw Nalan Qing, she was still unhurried and calm.

"Empress Dowager, it is inconvenient for me to accompany you on this matter. I dare to guess that Patriarch Nalan has an unruly temper. I am afraid that he will not want to see unnecessary people. To her, I am a stranger. Besides, I have to go to the Ministry of Household Accounting. The amount of food and money needed for this disaster, so that the Empress Dowager can better negotiate with Patriarch Nalan."

"Alright, Yuanxi, arrange to leave the palace."

This is just Nalan Qing's refusal, now that the Empress Dowager is focused on disaster relief, she will not find that there are actually loopholes in what she said, as long as she can be kept out of the palace, it will be fine.

Yun Jin quickly changed into the casual clothes for the visit. The elegant phalaenopsis dress was exactly what Na Lanqing looked like when she saw her for the first time. She couldn't help but stop and stare, as if time traveled back to five years ago.After she fell in love with Yun Jin at first sight, she will always be in her heart.

From the first time he saw Yun Jin, Na Lanqing knew that she was the one he wanted.Whether it was Princess Xian at that time or the Queen Mother now, they all touched her heart like that.

As soon as Yunjin left the palace, Nalanqing hurried to the side door that Shihan had already arranged, and rode his horse to the chamber of commerce.
