Raising wolves

The next day, the Qianyuan Festival, that night, on the eve of the banquet, Lu Qing learned what Ning Cong's so-called "wind chill" was all about.

Ning Juan originally wanted to seriously injure Ning Cong, let him calm down, and deal with him after other matters were resolved.

Who knew that Ning Cong was courting death, but as soon as he arrived in the capital, he took Lu Qingze's portrait to the brothel.

Ning Fan changed his mind.

Dealing with Ning Cong in this way will benefit the people.

Just thinking about how Ning Cong really painted his portrait, and not knowing how to imagine it, Lu Qing felt sick all over.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing looked again at the handsome and tall emperor in front of him.

... It seems that this one has not restrained his assumptions about him.

But Ning Juan and Ning Cong are different.

At least Ningfan won't make him feel uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Lu Qing was silent for a while, and couldn't help but reflect: Is he a bit of a double standard?

Since he came back, his bottom line towards Ning Juan has been moved again and again.

never mind.

How can Ning Cong be compared with Ning Juan, the double standard is the double standard.

Ning Juan had already changed into his robes, which were a bit more formal and luxurious than the usual uniforms, which made the young and handsome Emperor look unparalleled in dignity, and his gestures were royal nobility.

Lu Qing couldn't help but think of the last time he spent his birthday with Ning Juan.

At that time, Ning Juan had just turned seventeen, when he was young, he was as clingy and cute as a puppy.

It's clingy now, but it's not cute anymore.

Lu Qing looked calm with Ning Juan's gaze, and gathered up the rush-made dress that Changshun sent over: "What are you doing here to stare at me? I promise you, but I won't run away."

Ning Juan stared at him intently and whispered, "It just feels a little unreal, like a dream."

On his birthday last year, at the crowning ceremony, he also dreamed of Lu Qingze coming back.

It was only when I woke up from the dream that I realized that the hazelnut fragrance had long since dissipated.

Lu Qing raised his brows slightly, saw his true intentions at a glance, and patted the hand he quietly put on his waist: "Put your hands away, don't pretend to be pitiful, you are not sick now."

Saying that, he walked into the bedroom with his clothes in his arms and put on his dress.

Ning Juan retracted his hand under Chang Shun's terrified gaze, and sighed helplessly.

When the teacher is gentle, he is gentle, and when he is ruthless, he is ruthless enough.

Ning Juan didn't like the bright yellow color that was too public. On most occasions, he wore black robes with gold embroidery.

Lu Qing usually wears clothes in light colors. He rarely wears dark black once. When he walks out, the exposed section of his neck and face is so white that it looks like a section of ice and snow.

In order to make himself look better, Lu Qing also put a thin layer of mouth grease on his lips, and the lips that were lacking in color were soaked and reddish.

Ning Juan's Adam's apple rolled, and his heart felt hot.

Huai Xue looks so good in black, how good would she look in a big red wedding dress?

If you can give Lu Qing your own hand, put on the red dress, and then take it off by yourself...

Just thinking about it, Ning Yan felt the blood was hot, licked the itchy canine teeth, barely suppressed the eagerness to try, and looked at Lu Qingze's body with burning eyes, noticing a few details, He got up, knelt down, stretched out his hand and carefully smoothed the folds of Lu Qingze's hem: "After all these years, how Huai Xue wears clothes is still so-so."

Lu Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with letting His Majesty the Emperor kneel down and take care of the corners of his clothes, so he casually said, "These clothes are stacked on top of each other. I want someone to help me, but you won't let me."

He originally wanted to let Ning Wan let Chen Xiaodao into the palace, but Ning Wan refused.

Ning Juan snorted: "Can't I help?"

Lu Qing touched the back of his neck, which was still hurting, and asked, "Are you human?"

Ning Fan laughed sullenly.

Changshun watched from the side and hesitated.

Not to mention the entire palace, looking at the entire Daqi, only Master Lu dared to speak to His Majesty like this.

And I don't know if it's his illusion... How do you feel, now the two of them are not quarreling, but they are flirting with something?

If His Majesty has succeeded, why do you have to sneak into Lord Lu's house every night?

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

The birthday banquet was held in the open space in front of the Qianqing Palace, not far away.

At this moment, all the officials and guests from all over the world have entered the palace, and they are sitting in front of the Qianqing Palace, waiting for His Majesty to come.

When leaving Jixuexuan, Lu Qing speculated that his appearance should arouse the dissatisfaction of some officials, but now that the vassal king is returning to Beijing and the Tatar mission is coming, no one will focus on him.

Ning Lian chose this point to make him show his face, but also to prevent the conflict from falling on him.

I thought so, but when Lu Qingze and Ning Juan walked into the Qianqing Palace together, there was still a small commotion.

Almost everyone's eyes fell on Lu Qingze, who were surprised, interested, and disgusted.

Hundred officials have always been unable to screw up His Majesty the Emperor, but for so many years, His Majesty the Emperor has never made a mistake in decision-making. Most of the time, the ministers in the cabinet feel that they have no need to exist.

Regarding the matter of His Majesty marrying a male queen, they have basically given up their struggle, and there is a precedent anyway.

But the moment they saw Lu Qingze walking side by side with His Majesty, everyone was still shocked.

This new queen really looks, looks... different from what they thought.

They heard that His Majesty was staying in Jixuexuan every night, and because of this man, he was no longer preparing to give birth to a concubine.

But I didn't expect that the new queen is not only not a fox spirit, but has a clear and clear temperament, like a bright moon that is not stained by ordinary people.

This temperament gave them a faint sense of familiarity.

It's really like... someone.

It just doesn't look like it.

Isn't that one notoriously ugly?

In fact, there have been many rumors in Beijing over the years, saying that His Majesty guarded the spirit of the emperor and ignored the etiquette... I am afraid that he has some feelings that should not be there.

How can a student union get to the point where they don't want to eat for the sake of the teacher?

But what are the rumors about the Son of Heaven? Ordinary people dare not talk about it, and there are no people. Even if these rumors are not out of nothing, they are not good to talk about it, not to mention they are also ashamed.

Most of them had the grace of Bole, but they were aggressively pressed by them, and they were considered to have added firewood to the fire.

They are all accomplices of cruelty.

This has become more or less a nightmare for many people, so when they feel that this new queen looks like Lu Qingze in a trance, many people are shocked.

After all, the temperament is indeed similar. Could it be that His Majesty has found a similar person for comfort?

This is this!

The ministers who had experienced the melee at the beginning were so mixed, they couldn't help shouting in their hearts: There is only one emperor, your Majesty, even if you are real... What's the use of finding a fake one!

Lu Qing felt that he was about to be stared at: "..."

Doesn't it mean that these people's attention won't be too much on him?

No matter how you stare at him, sparks will pop out.

However, the atmosphere became weird for a moment. When the officials knelt down to pay homage, Lu Qingze and Ning Ruan walked onto the high seat smoothly.

When passing by the seat of the Tartar, Lu Qing took a special glance.

The head of the Tatar mission was the rumored third prince Ulihan.

Wulihan was only a few years older than Ning Juan. He was handsome, with a dark complexion and a distinctive hat. He looked like a very sunny prairie man.

In the original novel, Ulihan is insidious and difficult to deal with. He is very ambitious and joins Waara to attack Daqi, forcing Ning Juan to lead the army with a sick body.

Although these foreign tribes were swept away, Ulihan was dealt with, and the Tartar and Oara were greatly hit, but after several years of fighting in Mobei, Ning Juan in the original book missed the best period of cultivation and was deeply ill.

It can be said that this is one of the main culprits that led to the death of Ning Huan in the original work.

Even though Ning Juan, who was walking by his side, was healthy, Lu Qing was still unable to contain his murderous intentions.

Aware of the sight, Wulihan suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were not as simple as his face, but for a moment fierce and sharp, his eyes fell on Ning Yan.

That exploratory gaze just now, is this the emperor of Da Qi?

His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi didn't look at him. He touched Lu Qingze's hand while walking, squeezed Lu Qingze's hand in dissatisfaction, and gave him a puzzled look: Why don't you look at me to see others? Don't I look better than him?

Lu Qingze: "..."

After the two took their seats, Baiguan also sat down.

Ulihan glanced at the new queen of Da Qi with interest.

The Tatar has been in civil strife for several years. While cleaning up his family, he will also devote his energy to pay attention to the movements of Daqi.

Today's emperor is different from the incompetent Chong'an Emperor in the past. He can be regarded as a wise man. Except for the grand master who died a few years ago, he has no other weaknesses.

Unexpectedly, now this Daqi Emperor has created a new weakness for himself, and he has also displayed it in a grand manner.

Feeling the sight of everyone falling on him, Lu Qing was calm and didn't care.

Sitting on the high seat, it is more convenient to see the situation below.

Lu Qing clearly saw many familiar faces, including Chen Xiaodao, who had worried eyes, Fan Xingyan, who seemed very calm now, but his eyes were uncertain, as well as many of his former subordinates and opponents, who were quite dissatisfied when they saw him. .

There were also some familiar faces who had disappeared from the seats.

The death of Lu Qingze three years ago gave Ning Juan plenty of reasons to deal with those people.

Although the atmosphere was a little weird, the process continued in an orderly manner and entered the link of presenting birthday gifts to His Majesty the Emperor.

Ning Siyue was the first to come up. The child dressed very formally today. He walked to the high seat and gave a respectful salute. He tried his best to keep his voice tight, trying not to make himself too milky and to speak clearly: " The sons and ministers wish the father and the emperor the blessings of the East Sea, the Holy Body is healthy, and the father and the emperor have a long life and eternal companionship, and share the peace and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty."

Lu Qing didn't expect that Ning Siyue would wish him in, and smiled.

Although there are similar congratulations below, but after hearing Ning Siyue's words, Ning Juan's expression softened a lot, and he nodded slightly in approval.

The more Ning Si saw Ning Juan's soft face towards him, his heart jumped, he happily presented his birthday gift, went back to the table and sat down, shaking his short legs.

Everyone followed their gaze, glanced at the little highness who had adopted Ning Juan's knees, and then looked at Lu Qingze, with a strange expression on his face for a moment.

His Majesty brought back the little majesty at the beginning of the year, long before meeting the new queen.

This pot doesn't seem to be able to push the new back.

It's just that I can infer more and more that His Majesty really treated the emperor back then...

Everyone is sighing in their hearts. King Jing, who only arrived in the capital yesterday, glanced around, as if he didn't know the situation, and was slightly surprised: "Why don't you see the King of Shu?"

There was a sudden burst of coughing between the seats.

Ning Cong gave a deadly order to keep his mouth shut, but his order could not be sealed by Ning Juan's people, so he spread the word half-covered. His face, he was scolding Ning Cong in his heart.

Ning Juan said lightly, "The King of Shu felt unwell, so I let him rest in the mansion."

It's natural to take down the King of Shu directly, and there will probably be actions on the southwest side.

For reasons that Ning Cong himself did not dare to mention, he was trapped in the palace of the King of Shu. Ning Cong's son could not understand the situation in Beijing and would not dare to move.

Ning Jing also couldn't get into the palace of the King of Shu, so he guessed a few points, smiled and said, "This minister is far away in Jingzhou, the news is blocked, and I don't know about the emperor's wedding. After hearing the news, I prepared His Majesty's letter. Birthday gifts and congratulations on the emperor's wedding."

The expression is respectful, there is no difference in color, as if it is really sincere.

The rest of the people didn't expect this to happen, and took a deep breath: "..."

Why is there a wedding gift?

How embarrassing is this for the people behind?

King Jing, can't you discuss it before giving more gifts?

Everyone slandered King Jing's seductive behavior, but Lu Qing looked at this man, but still didn't feel like a good person.

He may be a little sluggish emotionally, but his instincts have always been sharp.

Ning Juan sent someone to check on Ning Jing, and the information obtained was very simple.

The cuts of the vassal over the past few years have made many vassal kings dissatisfied. If they rashly attack a vassal king who seems so loyal, other vassal kings will be nervous and follow Ning Cong's example, then don't think about peace.

With King Jing taking the lead, it was a little embarrassing for several vassal kings to present gifts.

The queen did not hold a big wedding at all, and the new queen was a male queen, how could they think of giving this.

Until the awkward gift baton came to Ulihan.

Wulihan looked very natural. After sending the blessings on the grassland, another envoy beside him suddenly opened his mouth and asked with concern: "A few years ago, the third prince managed to catch a precious bird on the grassland. Costin, I will present it to His Majesty as a birthday present, how is that Costin now?"

Haidongqing has a very high status on the grassland, and it is regarded as the spiritual totem of the Tatar family. It is normal for the Tatar envoys to ask about this.

But the real reason is only known to Ulihan himself.

- That Hai Dongqing was extremely stubborn. After he caught it, he tried to boil the eagle. However, the eagle falcon was so scarred that it was half-dead and still refused to give in, so he deliberately sent it to Daqilai. It is said that it is the treasure of the grassland, and I hope that the two countries will have good relations.

In fact, Wulihan felt that when the Haidongqing arrived in the capital of Daqi, it was impossible to survive, and it would only die faster.

Such a stubborn eagle might starve himself to death, and would not eat a bite of the falconer's meat.

The emperor of Daqi raised and died the spiritual totem that the Tartars specially offered for the peace of the two races. This is not easy to explain.

As soon as Lu Qing heard the Tatar envoys speak, he knew what they were thinking, and he understood more or less why when he first saw Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue would resist the food and get hurt all over.

However, Ulihan's abacus could not work.

How could Ning Juan not see it, he glanced at it calmly, and called out, "Changshun."

Changshun only went to slip past Xiaoxue a few days ago, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart. Hearing this, he bent over and leaned over to Ning Juan to obey.

After Ning Juan gave a few words in a low voice, he returned to his normal volume: "Bring General Xue here."

Still alive?

Ulihan's triumphant smile stagnated, and he quickly changed his thinking direction.

He has a lot of experience in boiling eagles since he was a child, and it is impossible to see it wrong.

That is an eagle that cannot be successfully domesticated.

Haidongqing is an eagle that belongs to the grasslands, and does not like to be restrained by nature. Even if he barely survives, he has been fed in a cage in the capital for three years, and his mood is bound to be gloomy.

According to his experience, this Costin must now be skinny, irritable, and not far from death.

Cultivating like this, naturally there are many things to blame.

Ulihan regained a trace of confidence.

All the ministers could naturally see that the envoys of the Tartars were deliberately provoking trouble at His Majesty's birthday banquet.

Many people also have the impression of that Haidongqing, and they have never seen a shadow after entering the palace.

In recent years, His Majesty seldom held banquets, reducing a lot of expenses, and the annual autumn hunting with great pomp has also been canceled, so they have no way of knowing what happened to the sea Dongqing.

If the sea Dongqing was not doing well, or even died, the Tartar envoy would have reason to continue to mess around.

When everyone was secretly worried, they heard an eagle chirping across the night sky.

A handsome Haidongqing descended from the sky like lightning, and before anyone could react, it took the hats off Ulihan and the envoys' heads in one bite. Inside, it landed on Lu Qingze's hand impartially.

But the Costin just flapped its wings and fell, and did not attack anyone. It threw a few hats on the table, put away its wings, tilted its head, and rubbed Lu Qingze.

Judging from his body shape, he is a little fat.

Several envoys exclaimed and cursed, opening their mouths in a Tatar language,

Even Ulihan, who has been battling for power since he was a child, has amazing endurance, his eyelids can't help but jump.

Looking at this vengeance, if they met and took their hats away, it must be the Costin from the beginning.

Not only alive, but even living a very nourishing life.

Even if you are not irritable, you are still a big bird.

Really lost the face of the grassland!

Wulihan clenched his teeth in anger, and showed a smile: "I didn't expect His Majesty to raise it so well, but Haidongqing has a ferocious personality. It is best to keep it in a cage to avoid accidentally hurting people."

Lu Qing smiled slightly, patted Xiaoxue's head, which felt very good, and said for the first time since showing up: "I heard that on the grassland, Costin is a symbol of freedom, since it is a free flock of eagles. , If it is always locked in a cage, it is not good for it, nor is it good for the friendship between the two clans. Besides, General Xue is not hurtful, but a little naughty. He should have recognized the third prince and wanted to play with the third prince. "

Saying that, Xiaoxue seemed to understand what Lu Qingze was saying, squinted and rubbed his hand, making a gentle "gugugu" sound, proving that she was really docile.

Ulihan and a few Tartar envoys were speechless.

The next ministers were happy and complicated when they saw the Tartars shriveled.

Even though Lu Qing lowered his voice slightly, the superior and clear tone was hard to hide, and they were still shocked when they heard it.

Not only the temperament, but also the sound!

Your Majesty, are you really... how can this be, it's just a nonsense!

Not to mention others, looking for such a substitute is simply a blasphemy to the emperor!

Ning Juan ignored the group of ministers who were looking at him in pain, and glanced at the hat on the table: "I heard that the prairie man is bold, and presumably the third prince will not care about a beast."

Xiaoxue couldn't understand everyone's words, but she was allergic to keywords, so she turned her head and looked at Ning Juan suspiciously, suspecting that he was speaking ill of herself.

Ning Juan blocked the rest of the road, Ulihan could only swallow his breath and smiled: "That's natural."

Ning Juan did not change his expression: "Changshun, send back the hats of the third prince and several envoys."

Chang Shun held back a smile, bowed, picked up a few hats and sent them down.

The ministers below couldn't help but laughed softly.

Even if Ulihan was the most enduring person, he was humiliated and laughed at in public, and his face was still not very good-looking.

Changshun walked to the seat of the embassy and inadvertently touched Wulihan's cold eyes, which made his heart tremble.

However, Changshun was usually much frightened by Ning Juan. Wulihan's strength was not as strong as His Majesty's. Because Lord Lu ignored him, there was no change on his face. He smiled and said, "Third Prince, please."

The emperor of Daqi was so powerful that even a **** around him could talk and laugh freely.

Thinking of the group of trash at home, Ulihan sighed in his heart, took the hat, and finally put away his anger and sat back to his seat.

A little disturbance was smoothed out so easily.

With Wulihan's appearance, even if the remaining ministers were dissatisfied with Lu Qingze and His Majesty's behavior, they would not say anything in front of outsiders.

After the ceremony was over, the banquet officially began.

The capital of this season is a bit cold at night, the wind is strong at night, and it is above the open space.

Ning Juan was worried that Lu Qingze would be uncomfortable because of the wind, so he carefully shielded Lu Qingze from the wind, fearing that he would be cold, and was busy pouring tea and asking questions. In front of the ministers, his attitude was particularly intimate.

However, after a while of wind, Lu Qingze's head still ached.

He didn't want Ning Juan to worry too much, so he rubbed his temple covertly, but it was discovered by Ning Juan who was watching him at all times.

Ning Juan turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Is the wind unpleasant? Go down and rest for a while."

Lu Qing thought about it a little bit. Anyway, he has already shown his face. It's okay to go down at this time. If he goes back and suffers a serious illness, it's not worth it.

"Then I'll go down and rest for a while." Lu Qing quickly made up his mind, "By the way, take Xiaoxue back."

To prevent Xiaoxue from always staring, staring at Wulihan's head, looking at him and wanting to pounce, and peck him out with a sharp beak.

After the discussion, Lu Qing took Xiaoxue and left the seat first.

The Qianqing Palace is some distance away from the Eagle Room. It takes some time to walk there. The road is secluded, and along the way, there are hardly any people in sight except for the occasional patrolling guards.

It is very cold and quiet, and all the excitement will be separated by the thick palace wall.

Lu Qing thought wildly as he walked, was Ning Juan just in such a lonely deep palace, having nightmares day after day?

The bodyguard Ning Juan sent to follow Lu Qingze carried the lantern and showed him the way. When he arrived at the Eagle Room, Lu Qing pulled Xiaoxue, who had his claws on him and refused to let it go, and said, "If you break this piece Clothes, you can't go out for three days."

Xiaoxue's fierce eagle eyes turned round at once, and she let go of her claws angrily, not letting go of Lu Qing anymore.

Lu Qing patted its head and fed it a few pieces of meat: "I did a good job tonight, I will reward you."

After he came back, he injured his foot and was inconvenient to travel. This was the second time he saw Xiaoxue.

Hearing Changshun say that Xiaoxue's spirit was not very good at first, Ning Juan planned to release it to the grassland, but on that day, Xiaoxue circled in the sky for a few laps, and finally fell back into the car and refused to leave.

The person who brought it to stocking had to bring Xiaoxue back to the capital.

At the beginning, Lu Qing said that if Xiaoxue did not want to stay by herself and stayed strong, it would only damage it.

But I didn't expect that in the end, the eagle was willing to stay voluntarily.

Ning Juan kept Xiaoxue free, and no longer kept Xiaoxue in the eagle room and let it go out and run around.

Xiaoxue doesn't love her family very much. She comes back every ten days and a half months. Sometimes she comes back for a few days, sometimes she stays for more than half a month.

When Lu Qing came back to sweep the grave of General Shi Da, it happened to be a rare day for Xiaoxue to come back.

Lu Qing stared at Xiaoxue and was stunned for a moment.

Is he...a bit like this eagle too?

After naming this Costume Xiaoxue, it seems that in the dark, something really overlaps.

Xiaoxue ate the meat that Lu Qingze personally fed, and cried twice with satisfaction, tilted her head to comb her feathers, and stopped making a fuss.

Lu Qing sat in the eagle's room, lowered his eyes and pondered over the years.

After staying for a long time, I felt that my head didn't hurt anymore, so I got up and left, ready to go back to the seat.

The way back was quiet and quiet. Today, the liveliness of the palace is gathered around the Qianqing Palace, and there are many Jinyi guards patrolling there.

When passing a small courtyard with no one, Lu Qing suddenly heard a sound, looked slightly stern, looked at the guard, and made a gesture.

The guard silently extinguished the lantern, protected Lu Qingze, and slowly stuck it to the wall.

Someone was talking in a low voice behind the wall.

It was not the language of Daqi, but the Tatar language. The conversation was very fast. After a few words, they left in a hurry from the door on the other side, so fast that the guards didn't have time to climb the wall to check.

Lu Qing didn't have much research on Tatar, so he could only concentrate on memorizing the pronunciation of the two people when they were talking, and try to imprint it in his mind as much as possible.

After reviewing the pronunciation of the two people in his mind, he suddenly realized that one of the voices felt strange and familiar.

But just now, I just focused on memorizing their pronunciation, but I didn't remember how their voices sounded.

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "You are fast, don't worry about me, go back and report to His Majesty immediately, who has left the inspection, check all the officials, and be sure to find out those who have secret contacts with Tartars. ."

After receiving the order, the guard immediately responded, but he still accompanied Lu Qingze to the most secluded section of the road. When he was approaching the vicinity of the Qianqing Palace, he hurried to report when he saw a voice in front of him.

The officials near the Qianqing Palace were all drinking alcohol. Unexpectedly, they would meet Lu Qingze. A group of people looked over with strange expressions and tangled eyebrows.

Among them are Lu Qingze's former subordinates, and there are also many of his opponents who violently impeached him.

Lu Qing met the gazes of a group of people, his expression unchanged, and he was quite curious: "What are you doing looking at me, you seem to be dissatisfied with me?"

Isn't it just because the queen of Ning Juan is a man, as for how they all look at him?

Not without precedent.

Besides, Ning Juan didn't follow the ancestral etiquette very much, so they should get used to it, right?

Like, it's so similar!

Except for this face.

Several of Lu Qingze's subordinates have now become important ministers of the country, and there are also one or two serving as ministers and cabinet ministers. Hearing Lu Qingze's words, his face is very complicated.

His Majesty is not only considerate to this new queen, but also has some respect.

This made them not even want to think about Gangchang ethics, but felt injustice for Lu Qing.

Just relying on some similarities, can it be compared to the status of a **** teacher?

Lu Qingze's former opponents also stared at Lu Qingze.

After learning that Lu Qingze was the one who recommended him, they were the ones with the most complicated mood after learning that Lu Qingze's help was largely due to him being what he is today.

They are ashamed.

Therefore, they are even more dissatisfied with the new queen in front of them.

Why!

The former subordinates said coldly and indifferently: "I have seen Your Highness. I just look at His Highness's temperament and appearance, and think of an old friend. Presumably His Majesty sees His Highness every day and misses it."

Lu Qingze: "..."

Was it for this? Feeling that Ning Juan used him as a stand-in, can't you be angry for him?

The former opponents were not so tactful, and snorted coldly with their hands together: "If the emperor is still there, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen."

Lu Qingze: "..."

You look up to me, and it happened because of me.

And how to listen to the tone, this group of people still miss him?

They didn't say that when he was there.

Lu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know how to explain it.

It is inconvenient to reveal his identity now. He can't admit to these people that he is Lu Qingze. He simply doesn't say much. He just pretends that he doesn't know anything or understands anything. He said with a long "oh". After saying "thank you", he walked briskly past the group of people.

Everyone: "…"

I can't understand the mockery in person, so what if she looks good, she's just a useless beauty in a vase, how can she compare to a **** teacher!

When Lu Qing returned to the banquet, Ning Juan had already received a report and sent someone to investigate secretly.

Lu Qing wanted to tell Ning Juan those Tatar languages, but the occasion was not right, so he could only hold back for a while and hint him a few times.

Ning Juan saw that he had something to say, so he excused himself from sobering up, left the table with Lu Qingze for the time being, and walked into the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

After entering the room, there were only two people, and Lu Qing said quickly: "The voice of that person is somewhat familiar, it should be someone I know, and he can speak Tatar. You can find someone who can speak Tatar, I will Repeat those sounds."

Ning Juan had just drank a lot of wine during the banquet, and it was indeed a little uncomfortable. He sat down for a while, and after hearing Lu Qing's words, the corner of his mouth tickled: "I understand, Huaixue, let's talk directly."

Well, we haven't seen you for three years, and you still secretly practiced a small language?

Lu Qing affirmed His Majesty's learning ability in his heart, and slowly repeated the pronunciation he heard, trying not to make any mistakes.

After listening to Ning Juan, his eyes became slightly cold: "They were discussing the deployment of Yanjing and the deployment of Mobei. Daqi went out of the thief and made a deal with the Tartar."

Lu Qing's eyelids jumped.

Arming map?

If Tatar got this kind of thing, wouldn't Daqi have to be beaten?

"This matter is important and should not be publicized," Ning Juan said slowly, "I will stay with them for a few more days to investigate clearly."

Lu Qing nodded, and when he finished speaking, he frowned, closed his eyes impatiently, propped his forehead against the table, his handsome and extraordinary face was slightly red due to drinking too much wine, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned. , doesn't look very comfortable - the pile of wine that I just drank is not for nothing.

Lu Qing looked a little distressed, poured a cup of tea and pushed it over, teasing: "Your Majesty, you really can't live in peace even after your birthday."

Ning Juan clearly closed his eyes, but he grasped Lu Qingze's hand precisely, looked up, his eyes were a little wet because of the faint drunkenness, like a well-behaved big dog, begging for his reward: "Huai Xue , where is my birthday present?"

Everyone presented birthday gifts, rare treasures, priceless.

But what he wanted was a gift from Lu Qingze.

Even if Lu Qingze just picked up a flower on the ground and picked a grass for him, it was also given by Lu Qingze, and he was happy.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Didn't I write a sub-word for you?"

His current food and clothing expenses are all rather tired, and that's all he can afford.

Ning Juan pursed his lips and didn't drink tea, feeling a little aggrieved, he stretched out three fingers: "Three pieces."

Three years away, three birthdays, three gifts.

Lu Qing was at a loss for words.

Ning Juan seemed to be really drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a childish move. He wished he was mature, steady and upright in Lu Qingze's eyes.

Seeing that Lu Qing didn't speak, Ning Juan was even more aggrieved, and suddenly pulled him and stood up: "I'll show you a place."

Seeing that he was half-drunk and walking steadily, Lu Qing didn't seem like he would be fooling around, so he let him pull himself, got out of the warm pavilion, walked to a small room, and pushed in the door.

There was nothing in the ear room, but Lu Qing was puzzled when he saw that Ning Jian twisted something, and the wall of the ear room started to chug—there was actually a dark room inside.

As soon as he walked in, Lu Qing was shocked.

In the dark room of this penthouse, there are rows of shelves filled with things.

It's all about him.

The colorful ropes compiled for Ning Juan, the flood control plan he wrote when he was in Jiangyou, the memorials he wrote in the past, a few words he wrote casually, and even the clothes he wore... It's fragmented and clearly classified.

A little perverted, and a little moved.

Lu Qing thought silently.

Ning Yan slowly pulled him into his arms from behind, rubbed the bite mark on the back of his neck with his fingertips with nostalgia, and whispered, "After you leave, these are all I have left."

Many times, he shut himself in this dark room.

Changshun anxiously led people to look around the tombs in Lu Mansion and the suburbs, and finally remembered this place.

"Huixue, why are you coming back?"

His Majesty the Emperor is already half a drunk cat, and whispered: "You know very well, you will probably be caught by me when you come back."

Lu Qing pursed his lips, his shoulders and neck were slightly tense, and he didn't say a word.

Does he know?

He did know.

Duan Lingguang also reminded him over and over again when he set off.

"Have you thought about me in the past three years?"

Ning Juan said in a low voice, "You clearly said that you would preside over my crowning ceremony... You liar."

Hearing the accusation, Lu Qing felt inexplicably suffocated, and remembered the empty and silent palace road when he sent Xiaoxue back to the Eagle Room.

In the long night when so many candles burned out, how many times did Ning Juan have a splitting headache and hallucinations because of him?

Because of his body and character, strong love and hatred never seemed to concern him, he had never been loved so much, except for Ning Wan.

Those strong feelings washed over him over and over again.

Ning Juan buried his head in his neck and murmured: "You said that people who have birthdays can make wishes. I didn't make a wish in the three years that you abandoned me. Now, I only mention one wish for three years. ...Teacher, promise me, promise me? Can you?"

The low voice lingered in the ears, and the tone was a little anxious, like an arbitrary and domineering order, and like a coquettish solicitation.

Disturbing Lu Qing was very uneasy.

Since the reunion, Ning Juan is bound to win, the winner is in hand, the aggressiveness is very strong, and he walks well.

Apart from Ning Wan's headache last time, it was the first time that Lu Qing saw the cold emperor appear so close to being vulnerable. His lips moved and he said in a low voice, "...you say it."

"Will you try it with me?"

Ning Juan hugged him tighter, the heart in his chest was beating violently, and Lu Qing could feel it through the two layers of clothing, he heard Ning Juan whisper in his ear: "Huaixue, just be pity me."
