Qing Ling returned to the mansion from the palace, his thoughts had been a little messy, and he couldn't remember what kind of mentality he had to be moved by Mu Chen's words like that, and he should take the so-called important task of leading the revolution and the new.

Abandoning the idea of racial distinction, she has indeed been around her master since she was a child.

Although Mo Qian seemed to have been a little wary of the Jiuqiu Luo clan, in general, he did not despise the demon clan and the human race. At that time, the Xuantian Four Elephant Array was set up outside Chongwu Mountain, and he also promised that no matter what clan he was from, as long as he could crack the Xuantian Formation, he would be able to enter the mountain to apprentice and become a disciple of Chongwu admired by the world.

Therefore, Qing Ling has grown up, except for occasionally listening to the senior brothers talking about the vicissitudes of the war, which seems to be a bit tragic, but he has never felt that the god clan must be superior, and the demon clan should be inferior.

Later, because he had seen the various atrocities of Luo Heng, the national teacher of Jiuqiu, there were some ups and downs in his psychology, but the equal views that he had developed when he was young have never changed.

But when he first met Mu Chen, he heard about their ambitions and ambitions from Chun Yuyan, and Qing Ling didn't really understand them in his heart.

She herself is not a person with grand ideals, even if she was later instilled by Emperor Hao with many thoughts that "as a child of the royal family, you must live for Chaoyan and fight for Chaoyan", or she also felt the great achievements of her ancestors in Zhangguo Mountain, and secretly hoped for that kind of "innate strength and courage", but in the final analysis, she was just wholeheartedly supporting Mu Chen and chasing his footsteps.

The first time she had the idea of benefiting others, it was after the Casting Dingtai Incident, a series of changes, including seeing the tragic scene in the prison with her own eyes, personally killing the Chaoyan soldiers in the Casting Tower, and personally expelling all the maids in the palace, made her deeply realize that the power of the family is monstrous, and the people can only have the opportunity to get ahead and revitalize the lintel. It is also for this reason that for the first time, I really have a heartfelt expectation for changing the political situation in the Eastern Continent......

Qing Ling kept questioning himself in his heart, was it really just because of this reason that he should be responsible for implementing the new policy?

Through the measures to weaken the difference between the doors, take the opportunity to meddle in the rule of officials, crack down on the abuse of power, so that the heart-wrenching tragedies that I have seen in Yinzhou Casting Ding Tai in the past have no chance to happen?

Or is it that she is not comfortable these days, and she also realizes that she can't paralyze her uneasy mood at all, so it is better to do some practical things seriously and focused, so that she can have some responsibilities that cannot be shirked, and she will be busy, so as to save yourself from feeling empty, lonely and resentful from time to time?

Or ......

The little hidden thought in the deepest part of my heart, wanting to completely solve the situation of incompatibility with Jiuqiu and alleviate Daze's long-standing contradictory situation through Chaoyan's change?

～～

Qingling should have a heavy responsibility, and he will not do nothing.

According to her temperament, whenever she makes up her mind, she will always do her best. However, it is very difficult to do this at hand.

The first step alone is to draft an outline of the changes, which is enough to rack people's brains.

Mu Chen suggested that Qingling should refer to the governance measures of Lieyang that year and extract some content applicable to the state of Chaoyan. However, Lieyang has always been at odds with Chaoyan, and the information exchanged is very limited, and it is difficult to find out the information of their previous governance.

Qing Ling even thought about it, just quietly go to Lieyang and kidnap a few cultural and historical officials to come back for interrogation!

Mu Chen laughed when he heard this, and said that instead of taking risks to cause a war between the two countries, it was better for him, the emperor, to deign to be a historian and let Qingling interrogate him. After that, he slowly told Qingling what he knew about the political history of Lieyang.

He was once ordered by the first emperor to revise the calendar, and he also studied Lieyang, and told the historical facts in a clear and concise manner. However, in the process of writing the outline, Qingling will always encounter new problems, and he needs to constantly repeat and understand a certain detail of a certain part, so he needs to constantly ask Mu Chen for advice again.

Since then, the number of times the emperor has been in and out of the Vermilion Bird Palace has increased.

Not long after Mu Chen ascended the throne, many matters still need to be done in person, and he is very busy with the morning court, political discussions, and reviews on weekdays, but as soon as Qingling enters the palace, he will always find an hour to talk with her.

The newly transferred group of palace people in the Chengji Hall were all completely stunned when they first saw His Majesty explaining government affairs to the eldest emperor.

His Majesty, who has always been cold and indifferent to the courtiers, sharp and decisive when speaking, and cannot tolerate the slightest dullness and foolishness of the other party, is extremely gentle and patient in front of the Qingling Emperor, and takes the trouble to repeatedly guide and explain on a question, answering all kinds of new questions over and over again, and never revealing the slightest unpleasantness.

His expression was still calm, and his tone was still flat, but the gaze that followed Qing Ling's every move contained tenderness in its depth, and sometimes it was almost blurry, completely fading away from the coldness when facing others.

Qing Ling was not unaware of such a gaze.

But since Mu Chen ascended the throne, she can also feel that she gets along with each other, and obviously fades away from the ambiguity of the past. Maybe it's because Mu Chen is now on the top of the throne, and his words and demeanor add a unique maturity and city to the emperor, and he knows how to deliberately maintain and maintain the distance between him and Qingling, or maybe it's because he married the queen one after another, accepted two concubines, and soon ushered in the birth of the child in Concubine An's womb, and finally tasted the warmth of Qin Se and Ming, and no longer thought about the bad relationship with Qingling in the past.

As he once said to Qing Ling, he took a concubine and married a wife, and he was repaid, and now he only hopes that Qing Ling can be happy.

In Qingling's opinion, Mu Chen now treats himself more and more like a brother who dotes on his sister, only talking about concern and not talking about Fengyue. Even when he occasionally mentioned Luo Yao, who purged the military defense in Daze, his tone was very calm, his evaluation was fair and fair, and there was no longer the disgust and extremism of the past, just like a wise king who praised his courtiers.

Qing Ling felt in her heart that this way of getting along was very good.

was originally a brother and sister who were connected by blood, but they broke off the feelings that they shouldn't have, and the relationship they left behind should be like this.

Of course, there are also people who are not very optimistic about this way of getting along, such as Mu Chen Xinna's concubine, Ji Suqin, the king of Yuzhong.

Su Qin is the only daughter of Emperor Gu Yuechang and Wang Chengyan in Yuzhong, and she used to be regarded as a noble and infinitely honored person in Yu China. Later, Yuzhong died in the country, and Suqin went into exile in Xihai with her mother and younger brother, but was captured by the Lieyang people, and finally brought back to Chaoyan by Fang Shanlei by mistake.

After Mu Chen ascended the throne, he released Gu Yue's family, who had been placed under house arrest by the first emperor to Weilu Mountain, and included Suqin in the palace as a concubine. People inside and outside the DPRK have speculated that His Majesty's move is intended to further control the southern border and capture the loyalty of the old forces in the southern border through marriage.

And Su Qin also knew in her heart that if she wanted to live her former pampered life again, she had to let herself gain Mu Chen's attention and favor. It is precisely because of the painful experience of being displaced and frightened that she is more eager to grasp the emperor's heart than other aristocratic ladies, and is more eager to use it to stabilize her power and status.

However, Mu Chen's attitude made her very disappointed and almost disheartened.

So seeing that Qingling was so favored, Suqin couldn't sit still, and complained in front of Queen Mo Nan Shiyin: "Where is there such a thing as Qingling Emperor Ji, every time she enters the palace, she runs directly to the Chengji Palace, and she stays for an hour, but I never see her come to the queen's side to say hello." ”

Not long after Shiyin entered the harem, she was busy with internal affairs, but she didn't have the leisure to pay attention to Qingling's every move like Suqin. She has a gentle temperament and is knowledgeable, so when she heard this, she said: "The Qingling Emperor Ji is Your Majesty's younger sister, and she has always been close to Your Majesty. You haven't lived in Lingxiao City for a long time, and you may not know that this emperor used to be the one who participated in the government and was in charge of a country's finances and taxes. Now that she has government affairs in her body, it is normal for her to discuss matters with His Majesty in the Chengji Palace. Do not make any more arguments, lest you provoke your majesty to anger. ”

As for why Qingling didn't come to his bedroom often to say hello, Shiyin could guess the reason.

She has been friends with Ajing since she was young, and now that she is married into the Suzaku Palace, she naturally inevitably sees Ajing day and night, chatting and chatting.

After several changes, Ah Jing's temperament is not as lively as before, and she often has a languishing and misanthropic state, but fortunately, she is enlightened by poetry and music, and she gradually came out of the slump. Because of Mo Nan's support for Mu Chen's ascension to the throne and the heavy punishment of Fang Shan's brothers and sisters, Ah Jing originally had some mustard in her heart, but as a woman, there were many helplessness and inoptions, and Ah Jing at this time finally understood and accepted, naturally, she could also understand the helplessness of Shiyin, who was also a woman.

The two regained their old friendship and resumed the relationship that had nothing to talk about in the former boudoir. Ah Jing even regarded Shiyin as her only reliance under her loneliness, and often stayed in her bedroom all day long. Once, I met Qingling, who came with Mu Chen, and when the sisters met, it was an indescribable embarrassment.

Since then, Qingling has rarely set foot in Shiyin's dormitory.

However, Mu Linglu, who had a good relationship with Qingling before entering the palace, was honored to visit the emperor from time to time, which attracted all kinds of envy and speculation from other concubines and palace people.

Mu Linglu is weak and introverted and shy, and most of the time she stays in her bedroom and does not come out. Her father Mu Duan did a good job as an official in the court, so this young lady from the gate valve has no need to compete for favor, and she is happy to be clean and peaceful.

She used to get along very well with Qingling, and when she was laughing and laughing, she also had a private talk about the man she liked. Therefore, since she was engaged to Mu Chen, Mu Linglu was a little unconsciously shy every time she saw Qingling, for fear that she would mention those jokes in the past. Later, after a long time, I saw that Qingling's attitude towards marriage seemed to be very open-minded, so I slowly opened my heart and no longer avoided it.

Once, Mu Linglu said to Qing Ling with a lot of insight: "Count carefully, how many young ladies who used to listen to dramas in your dormitory, me, Xi Ying, Fang Shanxia, Mo Nan Shiyin, plus you and Ah Jing, how many people can really get what they want?" I'm introverted and timid, so I'm easily attracted to talkative and cheerful men, so I've had a good impression of Xi Ying's brother Xi Jing since I was a child...... As for Xi Ying, although I didn't say it to you, Sister Xia and I knew, and she has always admired Your Majesty......"

Mu Linglu smiled shyly, "But who knows, the person who married His Majesty in the end would actually be me." ”

Qingling remembered the past, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, "Yes, at that time, everyone knew that Ah Jing and Daze Shizi were a couple, and they were sure that the person I liked was Fang Shanlei, but in the end, the person who married Daze became me, but it was Xi Ying who was engaged to Fang Shanlei, it was really a mess." ”

Mu Linglu leaned on the pillow of brocade and feather satin, and smiled a little weakly, "Yes, in the end, only Sister Xia and the current queen got her wish." In terms of husband and wife feelings, Sister Xia is the luckiest. It's a pity that ...... in the end."

She paused, was silent for a while, and raised her eyes to look at Qing Ling, "Do you think that after a woman gets married, will she slowly change her mind and like the person who gets along with her day and night?" ”

Qing Ling thought for a long time and shook his head, "I don't know. If you change your mind just because you get along with another person day and night, it can only mean that the previous relationship is too fragile, right? If there is a problem with the relationship itself, it may be a different story...... To be honest, I don't really know about this......"

Mu Linglu asked again: "Then you ...... Still worried about Fang Shanlei? ”

Qing Ling sat on pins and needles, "I've explained tens of thousands of times, I never said that I like him, it's all you guys who have to guess blindly, okay?" ”

Mu Linglu covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, good, it's our blind guess!" If not him, who would it be? I'm sure it wasn't the son of the world that you liked at that time, and every time you teased Ajing, you were the most positive. ”

Qing Ling was silent, and then pulled his lips, "It's all in the past, and there's no point in mentioning it again." ”

Mu Linglu's body was weak, but her brain was not stupid, she pondered for a moment and asked softly: "Then, when did you realize that the past has really passed?" ”

Qing Ling did not answer, and could not answer.

She searched carefully in her memories, but she never found an exact answer, and in a trance, she only remembered that when she first heard the news of Mu Linglu and Mu Chen's engagement, she seemed to have no joy or sorrow......
