Qingyun Weiyang

Chapter 54: Reunion

The mighty Feng Xun set off from Jidu.All the way north, passing mountains and rivers, overlooking the scenery.This is Yun Jin's first time away from the palace, and also the first time he sees the world outside the palace walls.

Before the world was unified, one was divided into four.Among the countries of Ji, Yu, Luo, and Qing, Ji was the strongest at that time, followed by Yu.The Luo State and the Qing State belonged to one country. The turmoil a hundred years ago caused the Qing State to branch out independently. Over the years, the Luo State tried to take back the Qing State many times, but failed.

After Qin Junlan unified the world, the three kingdoms of Yu, Luo, and Qing were enfeoffed as prefectures, and the emperors of the three kingdoms were also enshrined as princes. However, because it was difficult to control the military power of the country for a while, the military power of the three states was retained.The State of Ji can only send troops to station in the three states, and at the same time enshrine other princes, so as to split the power of the old state.

Qing King Gu Han was the Qing Emperor back then. During the battle between Ji and Qing, the Red Armored Army of Ji State was invincible. However, in order to reduce the disaster of the war, they sent foreign envoys to persuade them to surrender many times, but all of them ended without illness.

Until Yun Jin sent a letter to Nalan Qing, not long after, the Qing Kingdom surrendered without a fight.This incident is known all over the world, and it was because Nalan Qing opened his mouth to Gu Han that such a result was achieved.But even if it was to reduce casualties, Nalan Qing was still notorious.

What was the real situation back then, only Yun Jin knew.The envoys sent by Qin Junlan wanted to attack Nalan Qing, but they never saw her. Only after Yunjin wrote a letter, did Nalan Qing respond.

The reply letter back then clearly stated that the Nalan family would not help the country of Ji for no reason, and that would be no different from treason.Yunjin made a promise, firstly, to treat the people of Qingzhou kindly, and would not abolish the vassal and the king; buy.

In this way, the wealth acquired by the Nalan family every year has increased several times compared to before, which further highlights Nalan Qing's arrogance and ability to strategize.At the same time, she spends a large sum of money every year to help the poor people with the wealth she has acquired.

Those voices who once scolded her for treason and defection to the enemy all disappeared after a year, and no one dared to abuse her anymore. Of course, the entire Nalan clan also dared not challenge her majesty because of her talent and means.

The seven-day journey was neither far nor near, and Yun Jin's mood during these seven days was ups and downs.

She didn't know what would happen to herself when she saw Nalan Qing, and she didn't know whether Nalan Qing would like to see herself.Originally thought that the life in the palace was very torturous, but she didn't want the life on the road to be even more frightening. Seeing Ping Wang was right in front of her eyes, Yun Jin's heart also became messy.

Cheongju Pyongwang

Feng rushed to him, all the officials greeted him, and Gu Han came in person.

Pingwang is an ancient city with a history. The buildings on the city wall have seen their age. After repairs, the three characters of "Pingwang" are still magnificent.

The sedan chair is covered with yellow mantle and emerald green cover, dragon and phoenix are inserted in the head to show auspiciousness, and silk tassels are hung on the four corners, which is full of nobility.Yun Jin sat upright in it, the curtains and silk curtains covered her face, and she could only see her luxurious and extraordinary figure indistinctly.

"I respectfully welcome the Empress Dowager, a thousand years ago!"

All the officials, headed by King Gu Han of the Qing Dynasty, bowed down and bowed down to welcome the Queen Mother who is the regent of the world.

Yun Jin's brows and eyes were frosty, and she glanced at the crowd lightly, but Na Lanqing was nowhere to be seen, but she still maintained the majesty of the Queen Mother, "Stay flat."

"Thank you, Empress."

Gu Han raised his head slightly, wanting to see Yun Jin's face clearly, but he didn't dare to look directly.This queen mother occupied Nalan Qing's whole heart, he was really curious and wanted to see it.

What kind of person should be able to impress Nalan Qing in this world?

Through the hazy curtain, Yun Jin could clearly see Gu Han's appearance, tall and slender figure, long black hair loosely curled up, quiet but calm eyes, dressed in a blue brocade robe quite The spirit of a king.It's just that his complexion is pale, not as strong as ordinary people, but he looks sick.

"The empress dowager is exhausted, please move to Nalan mansion and take a rest."

"There is King Lao Qing."

Nalan Mansion is located three miles away from the east gate of Pingwang City. The mansion has a luxurious atmosphere.In the spacious street, the crowds had already been moved to both sides. Pedestrians all knelt down and bowed down when they saw Feng Huan.

There were 32 members of the Nalan clan, except for Nalan Qing, all of them were present.

Yun Jin was helped out of the sedan chair, and what caught her eyes was the plaque of Nalan Mansion hung on the vermilion gate, with the characters like gold, majestic and majestic.Two male lions fill the gate, with green glazed tiles, majestic and imposing without losing the ancient charm.Looking from the door, you can't see how far it is, as if the depth is bottomless, but when you look up, it is a tall tower standing in the sky.

Gu Han followed behind, and only then did he see Yun Jin's appearance clearly.She has a phoenix bun and exposed temples, her skin is like creamy fat, she is elegant and unconventional, and she has a gentle aura, and her azure blue brocade dress reveals a bit of seductive temperament.

Such a woman, just because of her looks, makes people unable to take their eyes off her. No wonder Nalan Qing fell in love with her at first sight.

Gu Han smiled in relief, as gentle as the wind and the sun.

"Grassman Nalan Ting, Nalan Muyu, Nalan Ruoyu, and Nalan Changjun welcome the Empress Dowager for a thousand years..."

Yuanxi and Huairou also waited on the left and right. Except for the word Nalan, they didn't remember the names after that. Huairou asked Yuanxi in a low voice, "Do you remember the names of those people?"

"not that much..."

"It's better to be called Nalan [-], Nalan [-], and Nalan [-], so that I can remember it, but it's still a good name for Mrs. Lan." After Huairou begged for a long time, Yun Jin agreed to take her out, and she couldn't hide it in her words. excited.

"Hush~" Yuan Xi hinted that she should keep quiet, but the two couldn't help looking for Nalan Qing's figure, but they couldn't see it.

"Why don't you see Patriarch Nalan?" Yun Jin couldn't help asking because she didn't see her.

Nalan Ting was startled, stepped forward slightly, and bowed, "Back to the queen mother, the head of the family is probably busy with other things, Cao Min and others have not seen him."

"Oh? Doesn't she know that Ai's family will arrive today?" Yun Jin's plain face was full of sharpness, as if she was unhappy.

The three elders of the Nalan family looked at each other, and the head of the family, too, had clearly informed the queen mother that she was coming today, why there was no sign of anyone after a day, seeing that the queen mother seemed angry, what should I do?

Only Gu Han was calm and calm, "Maybe Qing was too busy to forget, the minister has already sent someone to look for it, please calm down the Queen Mother."

"Qing..." Yelling so intimately, Yun Jin felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Is she really going to get married?

Yun Jin's heart sank for a while, there was no sign of Nalan Qing among so many people in the huge Nalan Mansion.Does she really not want to see herself?Does she really decide to marry this man and want to break up with herself?

For a moment, she thought a lot.

Maybe she's busy?

Maybe she just forgot?

However, a stick of incense had passed, and the servants still failed to find Nalan Qing.

The weather was slightly cold, and there was a faint fragrance of plum in the air, but Yun Jin's heart became more and more bitter.

She kept silent, didn't enter the gate of the mansion, just waited quietly, causing the people in Nalan Mansion to sweat and dare not speak more.

"Elder, I... still haven't found the master..." Although the servant reported in a low voice, Yun Jin still heard him.

Her heart trembled slightly, Nalan Qing must be angry, angry that he drove her away.

So you don't want to see each other?Are you not happy when you hear the news that you are coming?Although Yun Jin didn't change her face, she was still flustered inside. If Nalan Qingqing really didn't want to see her, what would she do if she didn't show up until she died?

"It's better for the empress dowager to enter the mansion first. The wedding is imminent. The lord has not traveled far, so he will return later." Nalan Changjun was neither humble nor overbearing, with a faint smile on his lips, and he was very generous.

Compared with the trembling three elders, she has more Nalan's demeanor.

The wedding is coming, the wedding is coming...

There are only four words in Yun Jin's mind, which are constantly wandering, entangled, stirring her heart, causing sore pain.

She tried her best to adjust her breathing and maintain the proper posture, "Patriarch Nalan has such a great posture, Aijia is waiting here today, when she appears, Aijia will go in!"

The queen mother was angry, who dared to neglect, Nalan Ruoyu immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, you go to the lord yourself, and be sure to invite her here."

"There's no need to look for it, I'm here."

Nalan Qing rides the wind on the clouds, as if a fairy is coming.When everyone looked up, she had already fallen to the ground.

The purple shirt and long skirt are as beautiful as dust.The pupils are like blue waves and autumn water, glowing with light.

The crowd voluntarily moved away, leaving her the most respected seat. She walked towards Yun Jin step by step.

All of Yun Jin's sharpness faded away in an instant, and his eyes were watery, looking at Nalan Qing in the blink of an eye, speechless for a long time.

Not seeing each other for several months is like several years of cold and heat.After looking through the autumn waters, she finally saw this face that she had been thinking about day and night.

"Nalan Qing, the daughter of the people, welcomes you at a loss. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive you." Compared with the turmoil in Yun Jin's heart, Na Lanqing seemed much calmer. Her appearance was still the same as before, but what was different?

"Free of courtesy..." Yun Jin could hardly even utter these words in full. In front of everyone, she must not lose her composure or be rude. The longing for it cannot be expressed at this moment.

She is the queen mother, she has too many scruples.

She stared at Nalan Qing, trying to capture the tenderness of the past, but Nalan Qing didn't meet her gaze.

Is it caring for others?Or do you really not want to see yourself?Yun Jin was a little hesitant. In the past, even if there were court officials by her side, Nalan Qing's fiery eyes could always be caught by her.

Even if she didn't look for it, she could feel that she was beside her, like a fire, surrounding her.

Now, her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, unable to see clearly or touch.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Gu Han's cough broke the tranquility at the moment.

Nalan Qing stretched out her hand, and the servant girl handed the cloak to her.

"If you're not feeling well, go and rest. I'll accompany the Queen Mother." Nalan Qing hung up the cloak for Gu Han while speaking, and fastened it thoughtfully.

Everything is so natural, as if it came naturally.There was a smile on the corner of Gu Han's lips, his eyes softened when he looked at her, Yun Jin had never seen a man so gentle.

He put his hand on the back of Nalan Qing's, smiling like the morning sun, weak but warm, "I'm fine."

Nalan Qing didn't refuse his approach, the two of them seemed like a long-lasting couple with an unspeakable tacit understanding, this kind of respectful relationship with each other, in the eyes of outsiders, they were such a loving couple.

Yun Jin's heart was bleeding.

What she wished to see was that Nalan Qing did it on purpose, to be able to look at herself when she was doing these intimate actions, so that she would think that she was just being willful for a while, to anger herself?

She saw the sincerity of Gu Han's deep affection, as if she saw the familiar eyes and care of the virtuous king back then, and the meticulousness of loving someone deeply, but it made her heart sink into the eternal pain. abyss.

"My lord is not feeling well, I hope the Queen Mother will allow him to step down first." Every time Nalan Qing saluted, it was like a punishment for Yun Jin's heart.

"Quite." She struggled to utter the word, what else could she do?

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Nalan Qing and Gu Han saluted almost at the same time. This scene of unanimous thanks made Yun Jin's eyes hurt. She even wanted to turn her head away and avoid the intimacy of the two, but she couldn't.

She could only watch them helplessly, supporting each other.

"Then I'll go first." Gu Han held onto Nalan Qing's hand, reluctant to let go for a long time.

Those hands that used to caress my cheeks, those hands that used to be on my body...

Yun Jin felt as uncomfortable as if someone was strangling her throat.

Although Na Lanqing has no love for Gu Han, but if they become husband and wife, do they have to perform the ceremony of husband and wife?Yun Jin couldn't think about it anymore, her emotions had reached the limit, if she continued to think about it, she would really collapse.

"Immediately arrange for the Empress Dowager to stay in the West Wing."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Please, Empress Dowager." Nalan Qing made a gesture of invitation. Yun Jin walked past her and stopped for a moment, but Na Lanqing never looked up.

Light as water, cold as ice.

After all, Yun Jin could only move forward and never look back.Na Lanqing followed her half a step away, looking at her figure, the tenderness in his eyes was not seen by her.

The west chamber is located on the east side of the main garden. The pines and cypresses in the courtyard are pruned like pagodas. On the white walls and black tiles, an ancient wisteria winds its way up.

Nalan Qing personally sent Yun Jin to the upper room in the West Wing. Yuan Xi and Huairou were overjoyed looking at Na Lan Qing, but they couldn't lose their sense of propriety due to the presence of the servant girl of Na Lan's family.

But Nalan Qing is no longer as gentle as the palace, compared to her former majesty, in the Nalan Mansion, as the head of the family, she has a terrifying deterrent force.

"The Empress Dowager has a short rest. The Nalan Mansion has prepared a dinner party. I will send someone over to invite you to the table then." After she finished speaking, she wanted to turn around and leave.

"Nalan Qing!" Yun Jin's emotions were at their peak, she couldn't bear Nalan Qing's disregard for her, and she couldn't face this situation where they met each other without words, but they were so estranged.

"I don't know what orders the queen mother has?" Nalan Qing still didn't change his face.

"The Ai family has something to tell you, come in." Yun Jin's commanding tone made it impossible for her to refuse.

Nalanqing sighed slightly, and could only follow her into the room.
