Chapter 14: The Queen
Yu Yang first saw the night breeze, and was so nervous that he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and say hello, and then found the "Yu Pavilion Administrator" standing next to him, and suddenly felt a little relaxed. But she also felt very strange, how could the two stand and talk together because of the disparity in their identities?
And the "Yu Pavilion Administrator" found Yu Yang coming, and immediately became nervous, Yu Yang didn't know his identity, if it was exposed at this moment, he and her, a friend, might not be able to do it.
"I've seen Lord Nightwind." Yu Yang stepped forward to salute, and then looked at the "Yu Pavilion Administrator" on the side and asked, "Why are you here, but Lord Night Wind wants to borrow a book from you?" ”
Yu Yang's words were spoken, and everyone present was stunned, and the maid beside Yu Yang saw that she was so rude to Ling Tian, and wanted to remind Yu Yang, but was stopped by Ling Tian with a light cough. The maid who knew how to observe words and emotions the most suddenly understood what Ling Tian meant, so she retreated behind her and stopped talking - Ye Feng, who saw all these small details in her eyes, also understood the reason for the matter at this time, and said to Yu Yang with a faint smile: "I didn't expect to see you again so soon." I rarely came to Ruian City, and I wanted to borrow some books from Yuge, so I called him. By the way, you ...... in the morning."
Hearing that the night wind was about to ask about the morning in the woods, Yu Yang interrupted him incoherently: "That and that...... Morning...... Morning...... It's rude to the officials in the morning, please forgive me Lord Night Wind! ”
Seeing her nervous appearance, Ye Feng saw the knotted brows of the "Yu Pavilion Administrator" with his spare eyes, and thought it was very interesting, and said to Yu Yang with a smile: "It's me who is abrupt, I don't know...... What should I call you? ”
"Xiaguan's name is Yi Yuyang, huh...... It's the lady's dress official, just a petty official in the inner court, and he doesn't work for the night wind to remember. Madame summoned the officials to go forward, sorry Lord Nightwind, and took the first step. ”
After speaking, Yu Yang bowed to Night Wind again, looked at the "Yu Pavilion Administrator" beside Night Wind, and said goodbye to him with his eyes, and then hurried to his wife.
Night Wind stood in place, watching her slowly walk away, raising the corners of her mouth and smiling, and then staring at Ling Tian's eyes and saying, "She didn't know you were ......"
Stared at by the night wind, Ling Tian hurriedly looked away, grabbed the back of his neck, and said slowly: "She...... The last time she came to Yuge to borrow a book, she thought I was Yuge's librarian. But you, you've seen her in the morning? ”
Mentioning this, Night Wind deliberately approached the complicated face of the "Yu Pavilion Administrator", mysteriously left a "secret", and walked forward with a smile, leaving the "Yu Pavilion Administrator" to follow him, and whispered a "idiot" to him, and then gave up.
When Yuyang hurried to Anhuai Building, Madame's maid was already waiting downstairs, and immediately led Yuyang to Madame's study, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that Madame was busy signing documents with her head down, and when she saw Yuyang coming, she glanced up at her, and said without waiting for Yuyang to bow and say: "I am still in a hurry to Yayu City, to make a long story short, and they will give you a material, and you will purchase it in Xunli City according to the list." ”
"Purchasing?" Madame seemed to be in a hurry to go out, and she was in a hurry, Yuyang didn't quite understand, the procurement was in charge of Ruian City, how could it be her turn to do this?
Madame was ready to go out, and left a sentence before leaving: "You look at the things and buy them, it's been a few days since you came to Ruian City, you should have friends, right?" Find a friend to go along. ”
"But ......" didn't wait for Yu Yang to ask more questions, a group of people had already hugged Mrs. downstairs, leaving Yu Yang standing alone, and then someone handed her a list, and after looking at the list, Yu Yang understood why Mrs. asked her to buy it in person - the list did not write the specific items to be purchased, but a variety of scenes that need to be made of new clothes, and she needs to match the corresponding fabrics, and go to the city to confirm the specific content of the business and procurement, and then there will be a small man who buys and moves goods to pay for the goods.
Yu Yang, who suddenly became bright, looked at the contents of the list, and suddenly felt excited, this kind of work content is what she is looking forward to the most, not to mention that this time she can finally go out of Ruian City to see the Turbidity City.
But how do you get out of the city and where do you go to find a cloth merchant? She looked at the maid who had handed her the list, and was about to ask her for help on these matters, when the maid, as if she already knew what she was going to ask, spoke first, "Didn't Madame say that you should find a friend with you?" ”
Yu Yang nodded as if he didn't understand, thought all the way with this question, and returned to An Ming Building.
On the other side, after Ling Tian sent the night wind back, he drove to the royal city of Yayu City, went to the imperial guard to change into military uniforms, inquired about the location of King Nuojia Hewu, and came to the main hall of Yayu City - Ye Gui Palace.
King He Wu was talking with people in the side hall of Yegui Palace, Ling Tian quietly changed places with his subordinates on duty, and stood on the side of the hall, just silently guarding the king's side as in daily life.
He Wu was busy in front of the case for a while, and when he was about to rest, he turned sideways and found that Ling Tian was already standing beside him, he was taken aback, laughed again, and asked, "When did you come, you weren't on duty today, right?" ”
"Yesterday, the night wind was out of work, and I was afraid that His Majesty would have any orders, and the minister would come to bear it for him for half a day."
"Huh!" He Wu took a sip of water, leaned sideways on his seat, and said to him, "Then how can it be regarded as night wind skipping, it was this king himself who gave him a vacation, why, you also want to take a vacation?" ”
"It's not...... The minister and the night wind are here, it will be better. ”
He Wu laughed: "What you said is the truth, with you and the night wind, only then can this king have someone who can say some unnutritious gossip, or it is a national affair to open and close his mouth, and it is tiring." Although you don't talk much, I always feel at ease with you. ”
“…… Be. ”
What He Wu said is true, Ling Tian always talks less in his daily life, except for talking about academics, the rest of the time is a real stuffy gourd, not like the night breeze can talk a lot with him, but He Wu also likes the feeling of Ling Tian guarding by his side, and he doesn't know how to explain it, Ling Tian can always give the people around him a sense of peace of mind.
On this day, although he was not on duty in Lingtian, he also accompanied him for half a day from morning to night, until someone came to change in the evening, and when he was about to leave, King He Wu called out to him and said, "Lingtian, you don't have to come tomorrow." ”
Ling Tian was stunned, turned around and asked him, "Doesn't Your Majesty like the minister here?" ”
"Nothing! What does this say. He Wu explained again and again, "Don't always soak in this king's place, you are young, go and have more fun, you have to learn from Yunshen's kid, don't just read books and practice swords and guard this king, like a dull wood, which girl will like you in the future?" Well, let's go back and rest for a few days, go have fun, go for a walk. ”
"But ......" Ling Tian has always abided by his duties and treated himself strictly, even if he had time to rest, he either read books or practiced martial arts and practiced swords, and did not give himself any time to relax at all.
"Don't say no, the king's order must not be violated." He Jun looked serious, and it wasn't until Ling Tian nodded in agreement that he laughed, lowered his head and continued to deal with official business.
Ling Tian saluted, left Ye Gui Palace, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he encountered a large guard of honor outside the gate of the main hall - that was the honor guard of the mother of a country and Queen Zhen Lanxue.
King Lan Xue, who was at the front of the queue, walked upright on the steps in front of Ye Gui Palace, and the maids beside her bent down and carefully supported her, for fear of taking a wrong step, and the maids and waiters behind her also leaned over cautiously, holding a lot of delicate wooden boxes in their hands, which were the dinner that the king would use later.
As soon as Ling Tian saw the queen, he immediately stood on one side, knelt down on one knee, stood with a sword in his hand, and greeted him with his chin bowed: "Meet the queen." ”
Lan Xue walked up to him, smiled, stretched out her hand and made a gesture to get up, and said, "No need to be polite. ”
After getting Lan Xue's reply, he got up and stepped aside, still with his head downcast, and he didn't raise his head until Lan Xue and everyone behind her walked into Ye Gui Palace. As a person in front of the emperor, he saw Lan Xue a lot on weekdays, but today he looked at her back and remembered her sister who is still missing-Zhenfang Yan.
Wanting Kingdom, a kingdom composed of three major territories and national capitals, the Nuojia royal family has been steadily ruling the three major families and the nobles attached to the three major families, on the surface the wind and waves, but only the people of the Nuojia royal family know how to maintain the balance between the nobles is like walking on thin ice.
At present, even if the Ji clan and the Nuojia royal family are married, or even the eldest princess directly serves as the patriarch, the Ji clan is still not the strongest family in this kingdom, and the ranking of the three major families, the second and third "Ji" clan and the "Fuzhi" clan may have ups and downs, but the "Zhen" family, as the head of the three major families, has never been shaken.
The Zhen clan dominates Xihua, the largest territory of the Wanting Kingdom, and resists the two barbaric countries in the north for the Wanting Kingdom, and the two queens of Zhen Fangyan and Zhen Lanxue are the daughters of the patriarch of the Zhen clan today, and the huge power of the Zhen family is still expanding.
Ling Tian's thoughts were drawn into thinking about the room and the girl, drove home, had dinner with his wife and others, went back to the room to change into military uniforms, bathed and washed away his exhaustion, and half-wet his dark purple hair, and went to Yu Pavilion with a towel.
Practicing martial arts during the day and reading at night, he was used to such a life, and even if King He Wu asked him to relax, the only entertainment he could think of was to go to the bookshelf and find some relaxing idle books.
Dressed in a comfortable short-sleeved regular suit, with a dry towel hanging around his neck and wet hair, he looked for an interesting historical miscellaneous book on the bookshelf, walked to the small balcony on the fourth floor, sat on a rocking chair and watched for a long time, only to catch a glimpse of Yuyang in a daze on the balcony next door.
"So you're here." Ling Tian said to her while reading the book, and Yu Yang didn't even notice his arrival, he came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and patted his heart and read: "Surprise me, when did you come?" ”
"Just here." Ling Tian said, put down the book, got up and leaned against the stone railing of the balcony, looked at Yu Yang's absent-minded appearance, and asked, "Something on your mind?" ”
As soon as Ling Tian said this, Yu Yang came back to his senses and raised his head, seeing that he looked relaxed that he had just bathed, he felt half a point refreshed, smiled and leaned against the stone railing with his chin with both hands, and said, "I envy you, you can wear regular clothes every day." ”
"Didn't you bring your regular clothes with you when you came?"
"yes, nothing, and the one they were wearing was also taken away by them. I just inexplicably participated in a Yao costume selection, and inexplicably wonderful, Mo Yi and they picked me up in Pingdao next year, I haven't been able to contact my parents yet, when I come here, I have to wear heavy Yao clothes every day, and there are so many rules...... There are no friends to talk to. After complaining in one breath, Yuyang sighed deeper and said, "I miss my friends so much......"
"Am I not?"
Yu Yang thought he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "What did you say?" ”
"I say, am I not your friend?"
Yu Yang froze in place, not knowing how to answer for a while.
