Chapter 053: Borrowing Military Power
Qingchen returned to the Six Kings' Mansion from outside. Just changed out of clothes. Cleaned up. Then he heard a voice from outside.
"Miss Mu is here. His Royal Highness invited Miss Mu to the study for a while. ”
"Wait a minute, girl. I'm going to talk to our girl. Nightshade spoke. Then he turned and pushed the door in. I just saw the dust that came out after I finished cleaning up.
"Nie Xinyao sent someone to find me. Qingchen asked.
"Yes. It is said that His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the study. Nightshade nodded.
"I'll go. You prepare. When I get back. We're going to go out. Qingchen thought about it. He commanded.
"Where to go. Nightshade was stunned for a moment. Somewhat puzzled.
"I'll talk about it when I get back. Qingchen only commanded like this. Then walked out. Follow the one who came to herald. Come to Nie Xinyao's study.
Nie Xinyao sat at her desk. Keep your head down. It seems to be contemplating something. She also had a map in front of her. It is densely packed with lines and markings. It seemed to make her very embarrassed.
Qingchen's footsteps disturbed Nie Xinyao. She looked up. Look at the dust. Then he got up and sat down for Qingchen. And he commanded the maidservants outside to serve tea. Only then did he speak:
"Girl, you know. Today I invite the girl to come. So what's going on. ”
"If I'm not mistaken. It should be for the fifth day of the fifth month of May. Her Majesty the Empress's ascension ceremony. Qingchen thought about it. Then he spoke. "Now among His Majesty's royal daughters. The one who can be entrusted with the important task is His Highness. There are also the Three Princesses. Isn't it. His Majesty will be responsible for the defense and protection of the festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month. Give it to Your Highness. ”
Dusting is speculation though. But there was a determined look on his face. The tone is even more affirmative. When she heard Nie Xinyao's sigh. I knew that what I said was true.
"Not bad. The Mother Mother asked me to be in charge of the defense of the ascent festival. Nie Xinyao nodded. "In the past, it was a festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month. The accompanying defense was the responsibility of Uncle Regent. But this year. Uncle Regent was convicted. The eldest royal sister who has military power in her hands is frail and sickly. Unable to take on this task. So this errand fell on Hongu. ”
"Her Majesty the Empress has entrusted this task to Her Highness. It's a kind of trust. It's also a test. Qingchen thought about it. Said. "The festival is held on the Lonely City Mountain outside the city. There is still a certain distance from the capital. Safety on the way and in the mountains. It is indeed the top priority of this trip. ”
"Because of that. That's why we can't be careless. Nie Xinyao said. "This festival is highly anticipated. It is also one of the most important annual ceremonies in southern Xinjiang. There are many factors to consider. There's a lot to prepare. There should be those who have the heart to take advantage of this opportunity. What to calculate. ”
"Not as it should be. Yes, definitely. Qingchen said. "The last thing. Nie Xinrou didn't get any favors. This time we won't give up. ”
Qingchen said to Nie Xinyao what he thought in his heart. Let's take a look at all the possible situations of this festival. Very detailed. And Nie Xinyao also listened carefully. I want to hear some opinions from Qingchen's words. In preparation for this trip to Lonely City Mountain.
The two of them looked at the map in front of them. Tap your finger. Crossing the capital. Pointing straight to Gucheng Mountain.
I don't know how long it took. When there was a knock at the door. The two of them came back to their senses from the conversation. They glanced at each other. Look at each other and smile.
"In the past, I only knew that the girl was unparalleled in wisdom. Unexpectedly, there was also a deep study of the defense of the march. Listen to the girl today. It's been a lot of rewards. Nie Xinyao sighed and said.
His Highness praised it. There was a quick knock on the door outside. There must be something important. Your Highness, let's deal with it first. As for the defense thing. You can scrutinize it more carefully. That's all for today. Qingchen said. Then walk to the door. Open the door. Xiang Nie Xinyao made a gesture. Turn away. Let the people outside the door in.
Qingchen didn't care what the person outside was looking for Nie Xinyao to do. After all, it's something to tell her. Nie Xinyao didn't hide anything. And something to hide. As long as she wants. She can find out. With the identity of the pervasive people in Yangui Building. She wanted to get some information. It's not that hard.
The pace doesn't stop. Straight back to the yard. Nightfall and tomorrow are already waiting in front of the house.
"Girl. The carriage is ready. I don't know where the girl is going. But I have to go in and clean up. Nightshade asked.
"No need. Let tomorrow take a good look at Yu Tianqi. You come with me to the Grand Queen's Mansion. Qingchen said. Bento walked out first.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Qingchen is the gate of the Six Kings' Mansion from the side door. And this is when she went out. There happened to be a horse-drawn carriage parked there. The coachman had already waited respectfully on the side. I saw the dust come out. Step forward immediately. I moved a small stool and put it on the ground. Let the dust be cleaned and put on the car.
After Nightshade sends a message to Tomorrow. And he came out. Seeing that Qingchen had already gotten into the car. Then he said to the coachman:
"Uncle. Hand over the carriage to me. I'll escort the girl. ”
The coachman handed the whip to Nightfall. Nodding respectfully. Then return to the Six Kings' Mansion.
Dust every time you go out. I was surrounded by my own people. It's not that she doesn't believe in the people of the Six Kings' Mansion. It's what she does. The fewer people know. The more you will be caught off guard. A place that is usually close to each other. She all walked. Now go to the Grand Queen's Mansion. There is still a certain distance from the Seven Kings' Mansion. To save time. She asked Nightshade to prepare the carriage.
Nighttime driving. With dust. Soon arrived at the door of the Grand Queen's Mansion. Qingchen sent a prayer post. He waited at the door. Not for a moment. And someone came out. Qingchen respectfully greeted him.
Nie Xinyu heard that Qingchen had arrived. There was a flash of joy in his eyes. Immediately let Huai Jin hold on. Come to the lobby. Wait for the dust to come in.
"I've seen the Great Queen. Take the liberty of visiting. Please also ask Your Highness not to be surprised. Qingchen saw Nie Xinyu. Then he stepped forward to salute.
"It doesn't matter. The girl can come to the house. It's my pleasure. Nie Xinyu said very politely. Seems to be very happy with the arrival of the dust. "Last time I ran into it by chance on the street. I invited the girl to come and sit in the house when she was free. But the girl didn't arrive for a long time. I thought the girl couldn't look down on this slightly remote Grand Queen's Mansion. ”
His Highness laughed. The Grand Empress Mansion was specially built by Her Majesty the Empress for the site of Her Royal Highness. Every brick and tile carries a supreme honor. How can I despise it? "Qingchen is complimented. "Your Highness doesn't mind me taking the liberty of visiting. Thank you very much. ”
"The girl is gracious. But I didn't know that the girl was coming today. So what's going on. Nie Xinyu exchanged a few words with Qingchen. That's when he asked the subject.
"I don't know Your Highness. Can you screen off left and right? Qingchen asked. "I have some words. I want to tell Your Highness alone. ”
Nie Xinyu heard this. looked at the dust for a long time. After a long time, he slowly smiled. Then he waved back left and right. There was not a single person left in the hall.
"All the people have been cleared. What are the words. The girl can speak now. ”
"Nightfall. Go down too. Guarding outside. Qingchen didn't answer Nie Xinyu's words. Instead, he commanded the night dead behind him. Between the turns. Give Nightshade a look.
"Yes. The subordinates retired. Nightshade looked at Qingchen. Instantly understood. Then turn around and leave.
He knew what it meant to clean the dust. It's nothing more than asking him to find Huai Jin. Inquire about the Grand Princess. There is also some information that Qingchen has not noticed. Huai Jin has also been in the Grand Queen's Mansion for a while. Won the trust of the great princess. There should be a lot of news.
After Nightshade leaves. Qingchen turned his head at this time. Help the eldest princess to sit down on the main seat. Sit on your own side. Smile and speak:
"It's true. I'm here today. In fact, there is something to ask for. ”
"Oh. Something. I even asked the girl to beg me, a sick seedling. The Grand Empress was very curious. But the words that can be said are ridiculous.
Nie Xinyu's expression and tone. Let Qingchen have to doubt. She had already understood the purpose of her visit.
"Presumably. Her Royal Highness the Grand Empress should have guessed it. Qingchen smiled bitterly. "Her Majesty has entrusted Her Highness the Sixth Highness with the responsibility of defending the ascension ceremony on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month. I'm today. That's what happened. ”
"What does this have to do with me. The six emperor sisters are very capable. Over the years, he has also done a lot of errands for the mother queen. Won the trust of the mother. Why did the girl come to me? Nie Xinyu was a little puzzled.
"Although His Highness the Sixth is capable. You can also think about the defense of this festival. But she lacked one of the most important things. Qingchen looked at Nie Xinyu. Speak lightly.
"Something. Nie Xinyu was puzzled.
"Military power. Qingchen said. "She doesn't have the power to fight. Troops cannot be mobilized. Only with the little forbidden army that Her Majesty gave her. It is not enough to make the entire defense of Gucheng Mountain leaky. ”
"So the girl came this time. It's because I have taken a fancy to the military power in my hands. Nie Xinyu smiled. There was a lot of interest in his eyes.
She didn't expect it. Cleaning the dust turned out to be so direct. He doesn't hide his intentions at all. bluntly stated that he wanted military power. I'm not afraid that she has other ideas.
"It's not like it. It is borrowed. Qingchen emphasized again. "It belongs to His Highness's military power. His Highness the Sixth will not ask for it. Remain in the hands of His Highness. It's safer than putting it with anyone. I'm here this time. I just want to borrow the military power in the hands of His Highness. Just in case. ”
"The guards of Lonely City Mountain over the years. The forbidden army is enough. There is no need for any other army. Miss Mu. Isn't it too small to make a big fuss? Nie Xinyu frowned. Somewhat puzzled.
His Highness also said it. That's all over the years. This year's situation. It's different. Your Highness, do you want to make a bet with me? This year this army. Definitely going to use it. Qingchen looked at Nie Xinyu. The tone is firm. The eyes are determined.
Nie Xinyu looked at the firmness in Qingchen's eyes. I was slightly stunned. I don't know Qingchen's self-confidence. Where did it come from?
If she's not mistaken. Qingchen is not a native of southern Xinjiang. Instead, he came all the way from the Central Plains. It didn't take long to come to southern Xinjiang. The climbing festival in southern Xinjiang over the years. There has never been a problem. Although it was all arranged by the regent before. And this year, the regent was demoted to a concubine for his crime. Replaced by the Six Princesses. It's no different.
But the woman in front of her. But that's so sure......
