It seems that he has been picking for a while, and from a distance, Luo Qingluan can also see that there are a lot of lotus roots piled up on the boat.

The moist yellow mud wraps the slender snow-white lotus roots, and there are many black lotus roots that have not been cleaned, and each root is thick and fat, and the growth is excellent. If it's a dish, it tastes great just by thinking about it.

The situation in front of her made Luo Qingluan a little more interested in having fun, although she didn't run to dig lotus roots, but it was also a pleasure to take a look. Naturally, she hadn't done this kind of funny thing when she was a child, but she had it a few times in her previous life, with a touch of memory, Luo Qingluan couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, look, you've dug up a lot." ”

This smile comes from the heart, the eyes are bright and the teeth are flowing, delicate and moving, not only has the innocence of the flower girl, but also has a return to the basics that has experienced prosperity. The two temperaments were mixed together, which suddenly made Nangong Qing on the side stunned. He stared at Luo Qingluan's beautiful face in a daze, but fortunately, the latter's attention was always in the lake in front of him, but he didn't notice his abnormality.

After a pause, Nangong Qing said with a smile: "The lotus root in this Bishui Lake has always been good, and it blooms a lot every summer. When the flowers are blooming in autumn, each palace will send some, and the excess queen mother will also be distributed to some ministers' families, even if this is not enough. ”

"That is, this lake is so big, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of lotus roots." Luo Qingluan replied casually, a knowing smile on her lips.

As soon as she thought of Queen Wang, she had a little more memories of the past. Although it was only last year, because I have experienced too much, there is always an illusion that I have seen everything.

Since last year, she has married Nalan Ye from a young lady in the General's Mansion, and her life has changed completely. Knowing so many people, whether they are friends or rivals, subordinates or collaborators, her life has not been dull for a day, and even now it has not calmed down.

Boating on the lake, admiring the flowers and drinking, how good would it be if she could live such a life with Nalan Night in the future? Maybe this is not an extravagant hope, it will come true one day, as long as she has worked hard, she will definitely not fail.

The trace of hesitation in her heart slowly disappeared, and Luo Qingluan had already decided, no matter what, she must help Nalan Ye. Raising her head, she looked at Nangong Qing and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you." ”

was a little nervous by Luo Qingluan's positive color, Nangong Qing didn't know why he cared so much about her every move, any expression and eyes would attract his attention. Subconsciously, he didn't think about refusing, Nangong Qing said: "You say." ”

As long as he can do what she proposes, he will not refuse in the slightest.

"Today's morning, did Nalan Ye discuss the plan for North Vietnam to His Majesty?" As soon as Luo Qingluan said it, he remembered something again: "Your Majesty, I don't want to interfere in the affairs of the court, let alone spy on secrets, just because I'm worried about Nalan Ye, if there is a war, he will definitely lead the troops to the battle, I am a little worried." ”

"It turns out that Princess Chu asked this." Nangong Qing didn't know why he was a little disappointed.

As soon as Luo Qingluan opened his mouth, he asked Nalan Ye, he thought that she would ask for him, but the result was ...... She was really full of Nalan nights, and never had any other thoughts.

Nodding, the smile on Nangong Qing's face narrowed a little: "Well, it is normal for Princess Chu to care about Ziqing, but don't worry, you don't know Ziqing's ability and ability, even if he really wants to go on the expedition, but it is only a matter of March, May and half a year, and he will definitely triumph." ”

At the end, he laughed again, and seemed relieved: "He is the god of war of our Western Chu, Princess Chu is at ease." ”

Not only was he not relieved, but Luo Qingluan's mood became heavier: "Your Majesty said so, is the war already decided?" As far as I know, there has been no sign of taking the initiative to make trouble in either the Southern Wei Dynasty or the North Vietnam recently, and Dongwan has always maintained friendship with Western Chu. ”

The hatred between Western Chu and North Vietnam was formed from the initiative of North Vietnam to provoke and attack five years ago, regardless of the result after Nalan Ye led the troops to defeat North Vietnam, but as the emperor of Western Chu, whether it was the original Emperor of Western Chu or the current Nangong Qing, he would definitely not underestimate North Vietnam.

Even if there is no movement in North Vietnam for the time being, Nangong Qing will not take it lightly. As Nalan Ye said, in view of the past events, in order to take revenge, Emperor Han Xun of North Vietnam will attack Western Chu again sooner or later.

It's just that this kind of consideration, Nangong Qing thinks that it is a matter for men to ask, no matter how smart Luo Qingluan is, she is a woman after all. He smiled: "Princess Chu, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, Ziqing and I will definitely deal with it." No matter how arrogant the north is, my Xichu is definitely not easy to mess with. As long as Ziqing leads the troops to the expedition this time and solves the scourge of North Vietnam, he will be able to bring a hundred years of peace to my Western Chu and peace for the country and the people. ”

"I don't care about Guotai and Min's security, I only care about Nalan Night!"

Luo Qingluan's face sank suddenly: "Your Majesty cares about the people of Western Chu, this is the blessing of all the people of Western Chu, but I, Luo Qingluan, am just a woman, I only care about the people close to me." Nalan Ye is my husband, his life and death are my biggest thing, I will not ask Your Majesty not to let him go on the expedition, because this is also his responsibility, but I hope Your Majesty agrees, as Nalan Ye's wife, I want to be by his side. Whether it is to take care of him and care for him, or to use my own medical skills to treat wounded soldiers, and do my part for the war, I just want to go out with Nalan Ye on the expedition, share good and bad, and hope that Your Majesty will agree. ”

Blessings and misfortunes......

Unexpectedly, such passionate and affectionate words came out of Luo Qingluan's mouth, and Nangong Qing was deeply touched.

It's not that he doesn't know Luo Qingluan's personality, which is different from ordinary daughters, just like last year, he didn't hesitate to leave everything behind and secretly went to the border to find Nalan Ye. For this reason, he and his second brother Nangong Yu also helped conceal Emperor Xichu and were almost condemned together.

But this time, Luo Qingluan still did not hesitate, and made a request to Nalan Ye before he set out on the expedition, and Nangong Qing's feelings were different from the previous time.

Seeing Luo Qingluan's persistent appearance, Nangong Qing was suddenly very jealous, he was jealous of why the woman he liked would care so much about other men, so willingly, and even did everything regardless of his own safety.

Why is it not herself who gets her heart, but Nalan Ye? If he had insisted on it at the beginning and didn't listen to Nalan Ye's words and went to the Southern Wei border to make meritorious contributions, would he not have lost her?

After such a long time, Nangong Qing would not fail to understand that the original thing was designed by Nalan Ye, in order to snatch Luo Qingluan. He and Nalan Ye fell in love with her together, but the funny thing was that he didn't know Nalan Ye's mind until he heard the news and hurried back from the border pass, and what he saw was already her marrying Nalan Ye.

Seeing that Nangong Qing didn't speak, Luo Qingluan only thought he was thinking about it, and said, "Your Majesty, I am serious, I hope you will be successful." The last time Nalan went to fight against the sneak attack of the Southern Wei Dynasty at night, although I knew that the Emperor Taishang would not agree, he still went secretly. Didn't you and the second prince help me cover for this? "Now that you know my determination, it's better to just promise me, save me from running away secretly, how troublesome it will be.

"If I don't agree, you're really going to sneak there again?" Nangong Qing suddenly asked, "Even if I punish you afterwards, aren't you afraid?" ”

The hand behind his back was already clenched into a fist, and he couldn't control his emotions anymore. Obviously, Luo Qingluan's move violated the ancestral system, but he was not angry because of this, but jealous that she was desperate for Nalan Ye.

Thinking that Nangong Qing was joking, Luo Qingluan relaxed: "Your Majesty will punish if you want to punish it, anyway, I have decided." It's a big deal to make meritorious contributions, Nalan Ye solves the crisis in North Vietnam, and I, I can use medical skills to treat the wounded, and I can also take care of Nalan Ye, isn't this the best of both worlds? As for military exploits, compared to Nalan Ye's own safety, I don't care, and I don't mind if I think he comes. ”

The more he heard Luo Qingluan say this, the tighter Nangong Qing's hand clenched.

He had an impulse, as if shaking her awake with all his might, and asked her aloud if it was worth the risk! Could it be that Nalan Ye was so good to her that she could make her disregard her life? If that's the case, then she should take care of herself more than follow Nalan Ye on an adventure.

The strong impulse of "Qingluan ......" repeated on his lips, Nangong Qing finally couldn't control it, he grabbed Luo Qingluan's shoulders suddenly, and said loudly: "Can you calm down?" Don't be so impulsive......"

Luo Qingluan was shocked, she had never been so close to a man other than Nalan Ye.

If the other party was not Nangong Qing, she was almost wary of him, how could he get close to her and make such an intimate move?

Subconsciously brushed Nangong Qing's hand away, Luo Qingluan's face changed and he took a few steps back: "Your Majesty!" ”

Looking at Luo Qingluan's vigilant look, Nangong Qing suddenly realized what he had done, and the words that he wanted to blurt out were strangled between his lips and teeth, his face was full of embarrassment, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, Princess Chu, don't misunderstand, I was worried about your safety for a while, so I forgot about it...... I'm sorry, it's rude. ”

"Your Majesty...... Forget it, it's fine. Trying his best to suppress this strange feeling, Luo Qingluan was also willing to believe Nangong Qing's words. She always knew that Nangong Qing liked her, and it was normal for her to be worried about her.

It's just that she can't stand this worry, any of his feelings and concerns should be given to Su Yi, even to the two nominal concubines in the harem, in short, she can't give it to her. She is the princess of Nalan Ye, and he is a courtier, if she and Nangong Qing have a little news that is not enough for outsiders to spread, it will not only make Nalan Ye jealous, but also make Su Yi sad.

At this time, Luo Qingluan realized that she didn't seem to be able to meet Nangong Qing alone.

For a while, the atmosphere between the two was a little dull, Luo Qingluan wanted to leave, but because things were inconclusive, she was a little unwilling. Nangong Qing was full of apprehension, for fear that his actions just now would give Luo Qingluan a bad impression of him, and he was worried that he would be found out and spread to Nalan Ye's ears.

This kind of weird feeling has not been felt by Nangong Qing for a long time. At this moment, he felt that even if he was an emperor, he had something he couldn't control, and this uncontrollable feeling made him very unhappy.

A small boat digging lotus root in the middle of the lake was already full, and the palace people rocked the boat to the shore and went ashore to salute Nangong Qing: "Your Majesty, can the lotus root be sent to the palaces this time?" ”

With this interruption, Nangong Qing finally had something to say: "Princess Chu, this lotus root has just been dug up, while it is fresh, I will let the imperial kitchen cook a few dishes at noon, can you stay and taste it?" ”

He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to eat to ease up, hoping that she would not be angry.
