Qingyun Weiyang

"Yes." Nalanqing pushed the door open, turned to Huairou and said, "Prepare the Queen Mother's dinner, the herbal soup is in the purple casserole in the imperial dining room."

Huairou looked at Nalanqing in surprise, when did she cook the soup?She bowed slightly, "Your servant will go now."

Nalan Qing entered the inner hall lightly, Yun Jin was holding his forehead, and there was a memorial on the table.Hearing the voice of Nalan Qing entering, she raised her head slightly, "You first entered the palace, have you ever understood the current situation in the court?"

"I know a thing or two." Na Lanqing leaned over slightly, happy in her heart, she didn't worry about dealing with these things at all, she was only afraid that Yun Jin would alienate her and not give her a chance.

"Tell me." Yun Jin sat upright, wanting to see what this Zhongling officer is capable of.

"I know that the first move of the first queen after the reunification was to entrust the four kings together, dividing Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Luozhou. The emperor was young, and the first empress was left alone on her deathbed. In addition to letting the queen mother regent, she also set up an assistant secretary. The situation in the court is changing. The queen mother was just a princess. Now that she is in such a high position, some people will have other ideas. The Counselor with growing arrogance." After Nalan Qing finished speaking, she raised her eyes, met Yun Jin's deep eyes, and felt a slight warmth in her heart, and she felt happy just being so close once.

"Go on." Yun Jin didn't show his emotions, and was always as calm as water.

"I dare to guess that someone in the court made things difficult for the Queen Mother today, breaking the three-legged balance and making the Queen Mother worry."

Yun Jin looked at Na Lanqing up and down, perhaps because of her demeanor, she always felt that her temperament was higher than her appearance, and she was well-measured in everything. During the palace examination, she found that she was calm and calm, and she was calm and calm in dealing with the world.Looking at it now, if he really has extraordinary insight, not everyone can be a Zhongling Guan, and Yun Jin will not be able to use it without talent and strategy.This time, she wanted to see what she could do with the female officer she personally selected.

"King Yong'an suggested in the court today that the Ai family should exercise the emperor's ability to investigate the memorials alone. When discussing state affairs, in addition to the co-official secretary, the emperor should be present. I heard that he also secretly recruited students and officials in the court."

"Yong'an Wang Qinxiao?" Nalanqing smiled lightly, handed the ginseng tea on the table to Yun Jin, and said calmly, "Qingzhou is an independent small country, and it was granted a piece of land by Yong'an King. Containing the Counselor, now he has a different heart."

Yun Jin picked up the tea and lightly flipped the lid, "What do you think?"

"Of course I can't keep it!" Nalanqing replied decisively, with a kind of courage that caught people's attention.

"Didn't the Ai family shoot themselves in the foot? It was the Ai family who insisted on recalling King Yong'an back to court." Yun Jin felt that Lan Qing shouldn't be so stupid to want to get rid of King Yong'an.

"That's why King Yong'an should retreat in spite of difficulties."

"Retire in the face of difficulty?" Yun Jin thought for a while. The four words Lan Qing were enlightening, and gave her a plan to solve the problem perfectly, but she still wanted Lan Qing to finish. Look at this Is the commander's strategy the same as hers?

Looking at the subtle changes in Yun Jin's expression, Na Lanqing knew that she definitely knew what to do, but Yun Jin kept his composure and asked calmly, "Are you talking about how to make him retreat?"

Is this trying to find out her strategy?Nalan Qing knew in her heart that she really shouldn't hide her edge at this time, she approached Yun Jin slightly, with a smile on her face, "King Yong'an used to be just a false title, and only after he got the fief of Qingzhou, did he have his own territory There are two reasons why he dares to be arrogant in the court now. One is that the canonization of the former empress made him feel that he can be reused again, and the former empress has abdicated. In terms of royal successor, his orthodoxy is closer than the current emperor. The second reason is that the Empress Dowager recruited him into the court, and the other three princes were mediocre and unable to enter the court, so he was the only one who was used again, so naturally he gradually lost his composure."

"That's right, when Ai's family recruited him into the imperial court, they thought that this day might come, but they didn't expect it to come so soon."

"The empress dowager calms down. Hitting a snake for seven inches is enough. If he doesn't have the fiefdom of Qingzhou, what else does he have? Any official of the third rank or above in the court can restrain him. What's more, if the empress dowager doesn't allow him, he will How can we see the morning sun tomorrow. It’s just because Qingzhou has some soldiers and land.”

Yun Jin calmly raised her cup, the fragrance of the tea was refreshing, she seemed to be able to guess what Lan Qing was going to say next, but she still deliberately asked, "Do you mean to take back his fiefdom?"

"The fiefdom is also sealed by the queen mother, so naturally it cannot be taken back. It only needs to be sealed. A king with a foreign surname is granted from Qingzhou. It is called King Yong'an to undertake the affairs of the court. He has no time to control the fiefdom of Qingzhou, but in fact it is to ban his status. He If you are so smart, will you choose to stay in the court? Or go back to your fief?"

"Without fiefdom, he is like a bird with broken wings. If he can't fly, he will fall to his death." Yun Jin's eyes were stern, Lan Qing's thoughts coincided with hers, and she did not choose the wrong person.

"The empress dowager is wise, the minister's words stop here."

Yun Jin's slender eyelashes twitched slightly, and when she heard Nalan Qing's words, she raised her eyebrows. She squinted her eyes and looked at Nalan Qing and said, "It seems that you do have the talent to govern the world, but why did you only enter the palace now to seek an official?" ?”

"I just want to live according to my heart." The lights on the table reflected in Nalan Qing's eyes, she looked at Yun Jin with bright eyes, and the soft smile on the corner of her lips slowly bloomed, with a kind of Wanton chic.

Yun Jin didn't accept Lan Qing's words, but felt that the eyes were extremely hot, and after the eagerness, there was a quiet look in her eyes, this feeling seemed familiar.Few people in the world can have such a temperament. Although she looks good, I always feel that there is an indescribable nobility in her bones.

Yun Jin looked at her for a moment, then looked away. This was the first time she had this strange feeling, but it was just a female official, and she didn't know where this familiarity came from.

"Queen Mother, it's time for dinner." Huairou brought in the prepared imperial meal, and she found that Yun Jin's face was no longer as dark as in the afternoon, but much more relaxed.

She has been with Yunjin the longest in the entire Yunqi Palace. She has served around since Yunjin was still the princess. Even though she has a big personality, she is the person who can capture Yunjin's emotions most accurately.

"Well, you go down and rest first, Huairou and Yuanxi will take care of you."

"Yes, I'm leaving." Nalan Qing saluted and then slowly withdrew, seeing Yun Jin's meal as he left.

Two vegetables and one soup, not to mention meat, not even rice as the staple food.Does she eat these every day?How can a queen mother's dinner be so simple and plain?It's not even as good as ordinary people. Vegetarian vegetables are gone. If she hadn't cooked the soup in advance, what nutrition could she have gained from this meal?

Moreover, Na Lanqing found out that the cakes placed in Yunjin Palace were just removed and replaced over and over again, and she never touched them.It's not that no one takes care of you, why don't you take care of your body so much?Nalan Qing thought bitterly, and slowly backed out.

Yun Jin walked to the dining table, Huairou untied the cup and bowl, and a faint scent of cinnamon wafted over, "Is this made by Lanqing again?"

"Yes, Master Lan said that she will cook the queen mother's medicinal food in the future, and she thinks the servants' cooking is not delicious." Huairou pouted, no matter what, she also asked the imperial doctor to make soup and learned how to make it from the imperial meal Compared with Yuanxi's craftsmanship, she still lacks shortcomings in cakes, but after serving Yunjin for many years, she was suddenly disliked by Lanqing.

"What? She hit you?" Yunjin looked at the soup in the bowl. The oiliness of the original chicken soup had faded away. The chicken in the soup was boneless and peeled, and the astragalus in the middle was not a trace of the Qi-invigorating Chinese medicine. There are only delicious and sweet-scented osmanthus in it.

"That's not true. She said how long the stew should be on a simmering fire, how long it should be on a high fire, and how the astragalus can achieve the effect of medicinal food while keeping the taste of the chicken soup unaffected. She said some words that the servants could not understand."

"She really understands medicinal food?" Yunjin was already savoring the deliciousness of chicken soup while speaking. Yunjin has always been indifferent, not greedy for food, not for beautiful scenery, and all her energy and thoughts are devoted to government affairs.But it was the first time she tasted that eating can actually bring a little bit of pleasure, maybe it has already solved today's court problems, so it is rare to be in a good mood.

"It seems to understand very well, better than the servant girl. After all, the servant girl has never read a book, so how can she compare with the talented Mr. Lan."

Yun Jin smiled lightly and stopped talking.

On the branch of the moon, Nalanqing did not leave, but stood outside the hall, waiting for the unknown next moment.

"My lord, my lord~~~" There was a sighing voice, Nalan Qing turned her head, Shi Han was dressed in a bodyguard uniform, and slowly approached her.

"What's the matter?"

Shihan looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he said softly, "The elders have been looking for you recently, and there are several important decisions in the family waiting for your warrant."

"Isn't it just the seal of the entry and exit account, let them cover it." Nalan Qing kept her eyes on the door of the bedroom for a moment, and if the Nalan family had to come forward in person unless there was a major event, she usually didn't bother to care about other matters.

"I can't get into the account without you adding a seal." Shihan was extremely anxious. He followed into the palace in order to keep the communication between Nalan Qing and his family. Although he couldn't expose Nalan Qing's traces, he would always find an opportunity to find out. Things at home are no better in the palace than in other places. Shi Han spent a lot of money for the convenience of getting in and out.

"Either hold it, or let the elders solve it by themselves. Don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future." A trace of coldness flashed across Nalan Qing's eyes.

It is obviously a big event worth hundreds of thousands of gold, how can it be called a small matter, probably the matter related to the queen mother is the big matter, Shi Han thought bitterly, bowed slightly, and did not dare to say more, "Yes, the little one knows."

In the past few days in the palace, she hardly felt sleepy, just as she was waiting outside the palace at this moment, watching through a door, she also felt at ease in her heart.

After about an incense stick, Huairou finally came out with the bowl and chopsticks, Nalan Qing stepped forward quickly, "Huairou."

"Lord Lang? Didn't the Queen Mother tell you to rest? You don't have to wait. Yuanxi and I always serve at night."

Nalan Qing cast a glance at the bowl Huairou was holding, she ate some soup and only a few mouthfuls of vegetables, she frowned slightly, "Is this what the Queen Mother eats every day?"

"Yeah, the Queen Mother has always had a light diet and is frugal. She doesn't usually like meat. It's not easy to drink half a bowl of your chicken soup. You know, she only drinks a few sips on weekdays." Huairou already admired Nalan Qing very much. After all, even the most powerful imperial chef has never opened Yun Jin's sense of taste.

"Three meals a day?"

"Occasionally she would have some porridge in the morning, and she would have extra meals at noon, but no matter how many tricks she made, the queen mother still ate very little. The slaves thought that the queen mother was not in the mood or thought. Hey, the state affairs are too busy. The queen mother always cares If you don't care about your body, when you were Princess Xian, you didn't work as hard as you do now, and you weren't as thin as you are now..."

As soon as Huairou talked about Yun Jin, she couldn't stop talking. When she turned her head again, she found that Nalan Qing had disappeared at some point.

Sir Lan, why does the dragon see the head but not the tail? ?
