Qingyun Weiyang

King Yong'an was waiting in the side hall of Yunqi Palace, but Yunjin walked in the imperial garden unhurriedly, sometimes admiring the flowers and looking at the scenery.Passing through the atrium, she stopped in her tracks, her eyes drifted a little, especially when she saw the guqin, she thought of her relatives whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and she was very nostalgic.

Under her calm eyelids, there is yearning, even a hint of melancholy and loneliness.

Even the slightest change in mood, Na Lanqing can catch it, she doesn't know if Yun Jin's heart has ever stayed for others, she just feels that although she is close at hand, it is far away in the world.It was like an invisible shackle that firmly sealed her heart.

Knowing that King Yong'an was waiting, Yun Jin didn't quicken her pace, but calmed down. Nalan Qing had already guessed her intentions.

"Today, the Empress Dowager's phoenix and beauty are joyful, just as the garden is full of osmanthus, rushing towards her face. The atrium of this Hundred Gardens is elegant and unique. Does the Empress Dowager have to take a moment to relax?" Na Lanqing seemed to understand Yun Jin's heart, and said what she thought.

"The Ai family also has this intention." Yunjin approached the table in the atrium, and Nalanqing actively stepped forward to study ink for her. Although she can only do these small things for her, for her, enough.

Why is King Yong'an waiting, but the Empress Dowager and Master Lang are still so leisurely?Yuan Xi was puzzled, isn't the queen mother waiting for King Yong'an to play?

Yuan Xi didn't dare to remind Yun Jin, after all, she really didn't understand the affairs of the court and the heart of power.But Nalan Qing understood what Yun Jin was thinking, but she just stayed by her side quietly.

Sometimes I feel that Nalan Qing's mind is terribly deep, and I can't see through what she is thinking at all. She usually speaks little and has nothing in her eyes except the Queen Mother.And within a few days of her entering the palace, she saw her abilities, as if there was nothing she couldn't solve.

From trickery to meals, and even the taboos of the palace people, she has satisfactorily resolved them. What's more, she even offended the Queen Mother, and easily avoided it.If she encounters other things in the future, will she be able to move forward?

This queen mother's exclusive female officer may really be the happiness brought by the queen mother.

It's been a long time since I painted, but Yunjin still writes like a god. She can create a lifelike painting just by glancing at the beautiful scenery in the garden.

When Yun Jin was painting, Nalan Qing stayed quietly aside, and was staring at her while she was drawing lines one by one.When she raised her eyes to observe the small scenery in the garden, Nalanqing was also looking at her, her every move was like a painting on paper, engraved in her mind, and never lingered.

The painting is very simple, dotted with sweet-scented osmanthus flowers blooming in a low-key way among the luxuriant foliage. The osmanthus tree is the distant view. You can only see it from a narrow path. Beside the cobbled path, there are clusters of flowers.With just a few simple strokes, a wonderful scene in the garden was outlined, but Nalanqing always felt that there was something missing in the painting?

"This painting is not complete, you come to help Aijia decorate it." Yun Jin suddenly handed the pen to Na Lanqing, I don't know if it was a test or on purpose, I just felt that there was no wave on her expressionless face.

"I haven't noticed what's missing in this painting yet." Nalan Qing took the pen in confusion.

"If you don't think there is anything missing, write a poem, if you think there is something to add, then draw it."

Is this Yun Jin testing her painting skills like a literary test?During the imperial examination, the paintings in the literary examination were too simple and the time was short, she drew them almost without thinking, but now she has to create a second time on the empress dowager's paintings.

The painting is too good, covering the edge of the Queen Mother. If you offend her, you will commit a crime of disrespect.If the painting is not good enough, it will appear that she is too mediocre, and it can only play the role of icing on the cake based on her. It cannot destroy the beauty of the whole painting, and it cannot be superfluous.

How should she add this sum?She raised her head and looked into the distance, and all she could see was the scenery, although it was beautiful, it was only the scenery in the garden after all, what was missing?If this group of brocades were in a place other than the imperial palace, it should be able to show the beautiful mountains and rivers of the country of Ji.

This painting is beautiful, almost impeccable, but the only thing missing is the background. Without the background, it is like missing the story, as if there is no soul, dry and tasteless.

Thinking of this, she simply sketched a few strokes on the painting, and added mountains and rivers further away from the sweet-scented osmanthus, making this beautiful group seem to be at the commanding heights.

Na Lanqing was afraid that her pens were too sharp and her pens were too sharp, so she put down her pen after she finished, and saluted Yun Jin, "The queen mother governs the country well, and the emperor helps the world, so we can unify the world and all the people The scene of prosperity, these few strokes of the minister are for the prosperity of my dynasty."

Yun Jin looked at these few strokes, the originally elegant and beautiful painting suddenly had the momentum of mountains and rivers.This Lan Qing's personality should be informal, magnanimous, and ambitious. I only hope that her ambition will be used in loyalty.

"Don't be too polite, get up."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Nalan Qing got up, saw that Yun Jin was still sizing up the painting, and changed the subject, "This painting minister just made a few ugly strokes, and the amazing one is still the soul of the Empress Dowager, so I should give the painting a name."

"Aijia is just random writing. You don't need to be so serious. Just put it as you like." Yun Jin usually has a lot of paintings, and they are packed up after they are finished. But for Na Lanqing, her calligraphy is worth tens of millions of taels of gold. comparable.

"Boldly, I beg the Queen Mother to hide the calligraphy." Nalan Qing knelt down and begged for Yun Jin's painting.

"If you like it, take it away." Yun Jin didn't care, but Nalan Qing smiled even more, "Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness."

Nalan Qing held the painting in his palm as if he had found a treasure, with an unconcealable smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, the kind of joy that came from the bottom of his heart made Yun Jin feel strange.It's just a painting of essays, as for that?

How could she know that what she gave now was the desire in Nalan Qing's heart.

About an hour later, Yun Jin slowly returned to Yunqi Palace. She was deliberately torturing King Yong'an, which was a small lesson for his arrogance in the court, but now this kind of small punishment is nothing at all.He eagerly went up and begged to see Yun Jin, but he was afraid of losing everything he had so hard to have again.

This is really a coup, Yunjin wants to let those rich and powerful know who is in charge of the world today, and whoever thinks or disagrees with him will not end well.

"Lanqing, you go to draw up the decree and reset the palace rules, you watch on behalf of the Ai family." Yun Jin did not let Nalan Qing enter the side hall with him, and she didn't want people to think that there is a counselor available by her side now .Nalan Qing has not been activated yet, she has her own plans and ideas, but they are not known to the public.

"I obey the order." In fact, Nalan Qing really wanted to accompany Yun Jin to face King Yong'an. Although she knew that Yun Jin could handle everything by herself, she wanted to be by her side at every moment and under any circumstances.

It's just that Yun Jin still doesn't use her as a close female official, maybe it's because she hasn't entered the palace for a long time, or maybe Yun Jin doesn't recognize her strategy enough, and doesn't trust her enough.

Perhaps it was the reason why she liked Yun Jin. In this matter, she couldn't guess what Yun Jin was thinking, so she was always melancholy.Every time she could only look at Yun Jin's back, although she didn't show any obvious emotions, she was still discovered by Yuan Xi.

"Master Lang, I will take you to study with me to draw up a decree." Yuan Xi made a gesture of invitation, and Nalan Qing looked away and nodded, "Thank you."

The Yun Study Room is on the left side of the side hall. On weekdays, Yun Jin reads books and examines memorials there, and it is also the place where Yi's decrees are drawn.

Yuan Xi spread out the yellow brocade scroll, and Nalan Qing rubbed the ink absently, but his eyes fell on the right door leading to the Book Pavilion.She always remembered what Yuanxi had repeatedly told her, that the bookstore must never be entered, maybe Yunjin's heart was hidden there, or maybe it was a place she couldn't reach now.

It was clearly within reach, but it was a distant dream for her.

"Master Lang, don't think about it for the time being, Shuge, maybe the time is ripe, and the doubts in your heart can be solved."

Yuanxi is so smart, Nalanqing smiled lightly, "Thank you for the reminder."

When Nalan Qing wrote the pen, he hesitated for a moment, what kind of handwriting should be used?Writing Yizhi directly in Yunjin's handwriting, the group of Wenshu Monastery thought that the queen mother wrote the pen herself, but after thinking about it, they changed their left hands.

Writing with her left hand is relatively slow, but a few simple sentences are still very easy for her. After the end, Yuan Xi stamped Fengxi on it.She glanced at Nalan Qing and said: "I don't know if I should say something or not."

"You said."

"Actually, don't you think everything is just right now?" There was something in Yuanxi's words, and Nalanqing looked at her with great interest, "You mean, the distance between me and the Queen Mother is just right?"

"Yes and no."

"how to say?"

"Don't Master Lang want to be the female official of the queen mother alone, but the middle order of the world?" Yuan Xi's words made Nalan, who had been in deep trouble, clear up.

"You are right, but the world is also the queen mother's world, no matter what you do, the queen mother must make her own arrangements." She lowered her eyebrows and smiled, but she couldn't see the situation clearly because of her emotions.

If Yun Jin wanted to use her, how could he do it overnight? Now that the situation in the imperial court is gradually stabilizing, but there are still many worries in the world, how could there be no chance for her.I'm afraid not only the affairs of the court need her, maybe Yunjin also needs the help and support of the Nalan family.

"Lord Lan is more transparent than slaves." Yuan Xi said calmly, received the decree, and sent the eunuchs to deliver the decree to Wenshu Yuan.

And she found a scroll in the study where she could mount paintings, and occasionally she would mount paintings for Yun Jin, Yun Jin had a lot of paintings, some of which she was reluctant to put away, so she kept some scrolls in the study all year round.

"The servant will frame the painting for you?"

Yuan Xi's intelligence and caring are probably unmatched in this palace, and Na Lanqing absolutely cannot do without her help if he wants to get close to Yun Jin.

"I can't ask for it." Nalanqing carefully took out the rice paper. Yuan Xi was ingenious and was already familiar with the painting technique, so he mounted Yun Jin's painting into a scroll after a while.

Na Lanqing took it, stroking the scroll lightly with his fingertips, the corners of his lips could not hide the smile, all the treasures in the world could not compare to Yun Jin's calligraphy.Even if she has all the wealth in the world, Na Lanqing doesn't care, she only wants Yun Jin.

"Master Lang, Master Lang..." Huairou's voice sounded.

Nalanqing put away the painting, looked up and found that Huairou was hurrying over, "What's the matter?"

"Yuanxi is also there."

"Master Lang is imitating Yi's decree, what's wrong?"

"Yuanxi, you can't even remember the day." Huairou pulled Yuanxi's hand, how could you even forget such an important day every month.

"It's fifteen today?"

Huairou nodded again and again, Yuanxi patted his forehead lightly, "Look at my memory, clean up the emperor's bedroom immediately."

"I've already given the order, it's just...the queen mother told me to prepare snacks for the emperor..." Huairou tilted her head and looked at Nalanqing.

Nalan Qingqing understands, is she here to help the little emperor?But what day is the fifteenth?According to the imperial palace etiquette, the little emperor should come to Yunqi Palace every day to pay his respects, but she has been in the palace for nearly ten days, and she has never seen him come, but Yun Jin often goes to Chengyang Palace.

"What do you need me to do, you can say it, but I don't know what special day is the fifteenth of each month. The emperor will definitely come here?"

"Your Majesty Lang doesn't know that the emperor will come to accompany the queen mother to eat and sleep on the fifteenth day of each month, and to accept the evaluation of his political affairs by the queen mother. The political secretary studies court affairs, and there are endless memorials. The emperor has finished reading the memorials and sends them to the empress dowager for review. Read the book, complete the list of books listed by the queen mother every day, and write down your opinions before you can go to sleep." Yuan Xi described everything as detailed as possible, so that Nalan Qing could understand clearly, after all, besides the queen mother, the emperor would also have to face Nalan Qing. right person.

Na Lanqing nodded slightly, remembering that the little emperor and Yun Jin were still filial mothers three years ago, Yun Jin was a loving mother no matter what, did not expect to be so strict with the little emperor now?But only nine years old, with so many things on his shoulders, I really don't know what is the meaning of sitting on the throne?

But the emperor is probably the person Yun Jin cares about most in the deep palace. If she wants to get closer to Yun Jin, the little emperor may not be a breakthrough. Although she is very reluctant to serve a child, who makes him Yun Jin's son?

"I'm going to prepare meals, you go and serve the queen mother." Nalan Qing held the calligraphy tightly behind his back and walked towards the queen mother.

"What is Lord Lan holding in his hand?" Huairou asked curiously.

"You care so much, you still haven't prepared to meet the emperor."

"Yes, yes, you guys have a lot of secrets." Huairou pouted and followed Yuanxi out obediently.
