Raising Wolves

Those who strongly opposed Lu Qing's return to the court were actually only a few people, and the rest were fishing in troubled waters, so they didn't make any noise in the end.

His Majesty the Emperor once again occupied the high ground in the tug-of-war with hundreds of officials.

It's just that too much time was taken up by the quarreling officials, and it was already late when I went back.

Ning Juan was very displeased at wasting the time of Lu Qingze's birthday, so he went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of longevity noodles, laid an egg, and brought it to Jixuexuan.

Lu Qing had just sent Ning Siyue away, and was standing by the window, looking at the heavy snow falling outside.

It's not that he doesn't want to sit down, but that sitting...is uncomfortable.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Lu Qing tilted his head, twitched the corner of his mouth, and teased him: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?"

"I am not a gentleman."

Ning Juan put down the bowl without changing his face, went over to touch Lu Qingze's hand, and frowned: "What kind of wind is blowing by the window, be careful to catch a cold again."

After speaking, he brought Lu Qingze over, pulled him to sit at the table, and gave him a hand, noticed the imperial decree casually placed on the table, and asked after deliberation: "Is this position okay?"

The young emperor's body was warm, and it was very comfortable to be held in his hands. Lu Qing was not sitting comfortably, so he changed into an awkward sitting posture, and gave him a look: "I think it's good, Your Majesty, you have a face that is going to be a fool." Look, if I don't think so, is it possible that you still want to call me to be the chief assistant of the cabinet?"

Ning Juan smiled, and kissed his cold fingertips: "Why not?"

The warm lips touched the cold skin, and Lu Qing curled up his fingers. Before he could speak, Ning Juan continued: "You can't do anything—it's just that you don't want to."

He is willing to respect Lu Qingze's wishes.

Lu Qing looked at him kindly for a few moments, stretched out his two fingers, and squeezed His Majesty's handsome face.

When he pulled back his hand, he accidentally bumped into something. After a pause, he pulled Ning Juan's sleeve away, speechless for a while: "Are you really wearing this thing to go to court?"

Ning Juan was still wearing the golden handcuffs from last night on his left hand.

Ning Juan didn't think there was any problem, and looked at it appreciatively: "Huaixue put it on for me, so I won't take it off."

Lu Qingze: "..."

Ning Juan lowered his head with a smile, rubbed the tip of his nose against him intimately, and whispered, "I have another one on my foot, do you want to see it?"

He asked politely, and his eyes were very explicit, it was obvious that everyone knew Sima Zhao's heart.

Lu Qing was still feeling uncomfortable, and calmly pushed his head away with two fingers, and refused with a smile: "Come on, don't affect my eating noodles."

Ning Juan was not at ease: "How does it taste?"

One piece of longevity noodles is a whole bowl, and he didn't taste it.

Lu Qing ate a whole bowl of tasteless noodles slowly, and said happily, "I've made progress."

Seeing that Lu Qing's face was very natural, and he didn't show the expression of death-defying expression when he drank the medicine every day, it shouldn't be unpalatable, so Ning Juan calmed down and asked casually: "Listen to Changshun, Ning Siyue wrote it for you. A birthday poem?"

Lu Qing cautiously bit the egg in the bowl, and said with a smile, "Yes, wish me a long life."

After he finished his last bite of eggs, he was very happy: "By the way, I wish you a long life, and I wish you two grow old together. I remember that Xiao Siyue took me with you on your birthday, right? At a young age, you are quite rainy." All dipped."

Ning Juan also laughed when he heard it, and with his eyes lowered, he pulled a strand of Lu Qingze's hair over, entangled with his, and thought casually.

No.

Lu Qing would like to live a hundred years.

He is seven years younger than Lu Qing.

Two days after Lu Qingze's birthday, it was the New Year.

No matter how poor the current emperor wants to save money and reduce banquets, the New Year's banquet is also indispensable.

At the New Year's banquet, Lu Qing accompanied Ning Juan again.

The turmoil of the previous two days has not yet passed, when they saw Lu Qingze, the expressions of all the officials under the seat were different.

Officials who harbor animosity toward Lu Qing have different ideas.

Some people think that for the sake of Lu Qingze, it is absurd for His Majesty to adopt a child from the clan who does not know how to be wise and foolish to be the crown prince instead of accepting concubines and spreading branches and leaves.

Some people also think that the two of them used to be teachers and students, but now they have become husband and wife, which is against the laws of nature and ethics.

The rest felt that since Lu Qingze's identity had become the Queen of the Central Palace, he should not return to the court and interfere in the government affairs.

However, these people are still a minority.

More officials remained silent, half because they thought that Lu Qingze could really control the country's destiny and acquiesced in this matter, the rest supported Lu Qingze, such as Fan Xingyan and Cheng Wenang, and the rest felt guilty or favored him, see Lu Qing came back, satisfied.

As for the issue of descendants, His Majesty and Lord Lu are not in a hurry. What are they in a hurry for? Right now, the little prince is smart and decent. As long as there are no problems in the future, they will not have any objections.

Lu Qing's re-acceptance of the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine title was silently finalized amidst all kinds of turmoil.

After the lively New Year banquet, Chen Xiaodao and Shi Xice came to bid farewell to Lu Qingze and prepared to return to Mobei.

The two of them escorted the Prince of Tatar to Beijing, passing by for a year, Mobei is now guarded by Qin Yuanan, even if the four directions are now stable, it can't be too long without a general guarding it, it's time to go back, and there is no way to stay until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It's just that Chen Xiaodao is leaving too, which makes Lu Qing a little surprised.

When Chen Xiaodao left the capital, it was because Lu Qing left.

He grew up with Lu Qingze and relied on Lu Qingze very much. At that moment, he felt that the capital was empty and had nothing to rely on, and he was at a loss. After going to Mobei for a few years, he found his own there. Another piece of sky, so I don't plan to stay in the capital.

Anyway, the young master who took care of him in the palace must have taken better care of him than him.

Although Lu Qing was worried, he respected Chen Xiaodao's idea, did not force him to stay, and sent the two of them outside the city gate.

Lu Qing had a thorough thought and a calm attitude. On the contrary, Chen Xiaodao, who was determined to leave, had red eyes and was reluctant to part: "Young master, you should cultivate yourself in the capital, don't always be too busy, work less .”

Shi Xice was not good at words, so he nodded, indicating that he had the same thought as Chen Xiaodao.

Lu Qing smiled and nodded.

Chen Xiaodao: "Drink the medicine prescribed by Doctor Xu on time, no matter how bitter it is, you must drink it, and don't pour it into potted plants secretly."

Shi Xice nodded with a serious face.

Lu Qingze: "..."

Don't worry, Ning Juan removed all the potted plants in his house.

And after being with Ning Juan, he gradually realized that he really couldn't do too much.

Chen Xiaodao thought about it again, and boldly said in a small voice: "In case, I mean in case, son, in case one day, His Majesty treats you badly or makes you angry, you can come to Mobei .”

Shi Xice looked around and saw that the guards escorting Lu Qingze hadn't come over, so he probably didn't hear him, so he nodded quietly.

Lu Qing laughed: "Yes."

"Then, let's go." Chen Xiaodao was still very reluctant, and wiped his red eyes vigorously. "In the future, I will come back to see you when I return to Beijing to report on my work during the holidays. When we meet next time, You must be healthy and healthy."

Shi Xice finally opened his mouth: "Lord Lu, take care."

"Okay," Lu Qingze patted each other's heads with a soft smile in his eyes, "You two, take care of yourself in Mobei."

The two laughed, and finally waved to him, turned over and rode on the horse, pulled the reins, and together with the personal guards who came, faced the bitter wind and snow, and headed towards the colder Mobei.

After the new year, Lu Qingze and Ning Juan inevitably became busy again.

Ning Juan appointed a female official last year. At first, the officials were not optimistic about it. They felt that even if they performed well in school, they might not be very good in the officialdom. Besides, Ning Juan arranged for her to go to Dali Temple, which is Dali Temple.

Unexpectedly, this female official performed exceptionally well in Dali Temple. The several officials who conspired with Fang Xinlu were reviewed by her.

There was a lot of discussion in Beijing about this, and some aristocratic ladies were affected by this, and they vaguely wanted to practice.

Lu Qing ruled out public opinion and ordered the Imperial College to recruit female students. After a few years of difficult implementation, the number of students was not many.

Only now is it truly implemented.

In addition to dealing with this aspect of the problem, there are many other chores.

After being away for several years, Lu Qing still needs to do a lot to return to the court.

There were many rules in the palace and strict investigations, and it was inconvenient for the officials under his hand to pass on a message. Lu Qing simply returned to the Lu Mansion and steadily regained the power of the Imperial College.

So much so that Ning Juan would inevitably heave a long sigh when he returned to the empty dormitory every night after reviewing the playbook in the study, feeling a little sad and aggrieved.

But dare not make trouble.

Lu Qing also knew that Ning Juan was clingy, so he went to the palace every two or three days to rest for a day, and planned to leave the next day.

As a result, Ning Juan was always tossing him so hard that he couldn't get up the next day, and often had to stay an extra day before leaving the palace.

But even if he returns to Lu's mansion, Ning Juan will sneak in within two days and get into his bed. Even if he doesn't do anything, it will be very annoying. If he doesn't leave a few marks on him, he won't leave. It's quite difficult to deal with. .

Lu Qing was so sleepy that he didn't bother to resist, and let Ning Juan do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't wake him up, he didn't have much opinion.

These days lasted for more than ten days, and those who had objections to Lu Qingze's return gradually faded away. Because of the civil war between the North and the South, the snowflake-like memorials all over the country also stopped a little, and both of them were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Promising Duan Lingguang to open a shipping port has also been put on the agenda, but this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and it will not be implemented within three to five years.

On the eve of the Shangyuan Festival, Ning Juan accidentally found a strange and gorgeous glazed lamp in the storeroom. His Majesty the Emperor had a vivid memory and clearly remembered that there was no such thing in the storeroom.

It was during the Shangyuan Festival last year that Lu Qing got it from guessing lantern riddles in Lin'an Mansion and gave it to Duan Lingguang. Afterwards, Duan Lingguang probably sent it back to avoid suspicion.

Even so, His Majesty's vinegar jar was overturned with a "snap" - Lu Qing didn't even send it to him!

Today's government affairs are not busy, and tomorrow there will be a Lantern Festival in the capital during the Shangyuan Festival, and all the officials will have their baths. Ning Juan stared at the glazed lantern for a long time, asked Changshun to prepare a car, and walked to the Lu Mansion familiarly.

During the day, there was a lot of work, but Lu Qingze had already rested now.

After getting used to sleeping with Ning Juan, on the days when Ning Juan didn't warm the bed, he slept alone, which was more tormented and not very stable. There were a few Tang women in the quilt, and the heat couldn't really reach the chilly hands and feet.

When I was in a trance, I met the familiar ghost press.

Someone ripped off his clothes.

He didn't even open his eyes to the strength and breath that he was so familiar with, he just let it play with it in a daze. Anyway, he probably got bitten a few times.

As a result, Ning Juan didn't intend to let him go tonight.

Lu Qing woke up all of a sudden, frowning and hissing: "It's the middle of the night, what's going on...uh."

Ning Juan slowly lowered his waist, stared at Lu Qingze's face, not missing a trace of Lu Qingze's troubled, painful, or comfortable emotions because of him, and said with a smile: "I'm not happy."

What are you upset about?I'm not brainless, but you're always upset, aren't you?

Lu Qing opened his mouth helplessly, wanting to speak, but before he could speak, Ning Juan blocked him with his lips and tongue, and swallowed the words back.

Ning Juan tonight was particularly grueling.

It was clearly a cold and lonely winter day, but Lu Qing was still sweating all over, his temple hair was messy on his sweaty face, his lips were bright red from being bitten by his teeth due to patience, and Ning Juan broke them open with his fingers, holding his mouth Lips kissed deeply.

Lu Qing almost couldn't catch his breath, and said weakly: "Who else made you unhappy?"

Ning Juan pressed his waist and asked displeasedly, "Did you give Duan Lingguang the glazed lamp?"

Lu Qingze: "..."

This is a Luoyang shovel.

He reasonably suspected that Ning Juan was trying to make trouble for him.

Seeing that Lu Qing seemed to be choked and stopped talking, His Majesty the Emperor happily tossed Lu Qing over and over again, and then he hugged Lu Qing calmly and went to take a bath.

A hot spring pool was built in Lu's mansion, and the hot spring was curd, which was really beautiful. Ning Juan washed and washed, but couldn't help but toss Lu Qing in the bath again.

Lu Qing, on the other hand, felt as if he bumped into a goblin who sucked energy in the middle of the night. When he returned to the re-made bed, he was so tired that he almost fell asleep, and there was a hint of relief in his sadness—his body was really much better. , I didn't feel dizzy.

But this time the body is completely warm.

He glanced at the satisfied Emperor, and asked hoarsely, "Are you still jealous?"

Ning Juan felt itchy when he heard his hoarse voice, but caring about his body, he didn't dare to do anything more. After thinking about it, he insisted: "Eat."

If Lu Qingze goes back to the palace to stay for a few more days if he doesn't make it soft and hard, the jar of vinegar will not be able to be straightened.

And that's the lantern for the Lantern Festival!

Lu Qing didn't give it to him, but Duan Lingguang did!

Lu Qing couldn't see the smallness in his heart, and poked his forehead amusedly: "Your Majesty, you are really getting more and more promising."

Ning Juan only thought that Lu Qing was praising him.

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, there will be a lantern festival in the city."

Lu Qing, on the other hand, was wrapped in the warmth, and even more sleepy, with a low voice that seemed to be raving: "We haven't been to the Lantern Festival yet, should we go and see it?"

Another purpose of Ning Juan's coming to Lu's residence was this matter. Hearing that Lu Qing brought it up, he held back for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Lu Qingze: "Last time I promised Xiao Siyue that I would take him out of the palace for a walk. I haven't had any chance. Why don't you send someone to pick him up, and the three of us will be together?"

The family of three were very happy to hear that Ning Juan tucked the quilt for Lu Qingze, and then turned their faces: "No."

He spent precious time alone with Lu Qing, what to do with that little radish head.

Lu Qing thought to himself that he would bring Xiao Siyue next time, yawned a little, buried his head into Ning Juan's neck, and breathed evenly after a while.

The originally difficult winter night was expelled from the cold, and I slept very peacefully this time.

There was nothing wrong when they woke up the next day, and the hard-working two seldom went back to bed until it was time to get up.

Changshun sent someone to cook two bowls of Lantern Festival, which was too big, and Lu Qing couldn't eat it after eating a few. Like a big tail, from morning to afternoon, Lu Qing followed wherever he went.

As soon as several officials who came to the Lu Mansion to report on their official duties entered the study, they saw His Majesty the Emperor sitting behind Lu Qingze with an indifferent face. They were so frightened that their knees softened, and they knelt down: "My ministers see Your Majesty!"

Ning Juan waved his hand casually.

When everyone had left, he said dissatisfiedly, "I'm taking a rest today, why are people bothering you?"

Lu Qing flipped through the official document sent up: "There is something wrong with the proposed list of freshmen. I called back and asked them to reorganize it."

After scanning, I saw that there was no problem, so I approved the official document.

The daytime passed quickly, and soon after it got dark, bright lanterns were hung on the main street of Yanjing, bright as day, and the sound of drums and music dispelled the coldness of the night. The city is full of excitement.

At Ning Juan's strong request, Lu Qing changed into red clothes, put on the mask that Ning Juan brought him from Yundian, and walked down the street with Ning Juan.

On the long street, shoulder to shoulder, bustling, young men and women secretly holding hands, looking at each other and smiling from time to time.

In such a lively place, Lu Qingze and Ning Juan, who were wearing half masks, were not too conspicuous. Even if people kept looking at them, no one knew them.

It was the hidden guard who had worked hard to follow behind, squeezed into the crowd and carefully vigilant about his surroundings.

The lights are shining brightly, and the prosperity of the world reappears.

Lu Qingze's hand was tightly held by Ning Juan, and he felt like he and Ning Juan had become ordinary members of the crowd. Tonight, he is not Master Lu, and Ning Juan is not His Majesty the Emperor, so don't worry. Worry about those state affairs and political affairs, just enjoy the excitement of the moment.

But does Ning Juan dislike excitement?

Lu Qing turned his head and asked Ning Juan.

There was a lot of noise all around, Ning Juan was careful to protect Lu Qing while looking at the road, blocking the crowds, Lu Qingze's voice was not high, he didn't hear clearly, he saw his lips moving, leaning down, his nasal voice slightly raised, A low "um" sound.

Lu Qing leaned into his ear: "I said, Ning Guoguo, do you think it's too lively here?"

If they feel noisy, they can change places.

Ning Juan smiled: "It's okay."

It's a bit noisy, but he likes wherever Lu Qingze is.

What's more, this excitement and stability are hard-won.

Lu Qing saw that there was no reluctance on his face, but he was still a little worried. He looked into the distance and said "Hey" softly: "There is a Kongming lantern over there, let's go too."

It happened that there were few people there.

Ning Juan held him in his arms and squeezed past him amidst the hustle and bustle of voices. Dozens of Kongming lanterns had already floated in the sky. Many people bought the lanterns and were writing their wishes to release them.

The dark guard who followed behind bought two lamps and pens and ink.

Lu Qing picked up the pen, but encountered a difficulty. He had no wishes at the moment.

Ning Juan didn't hesitate, and wrote down his wish with a swipe of the pen.

Lu Qing was a little curious: "What did you write? Don't you don't believe this?"

Ning Juan turned the Kongming lantern around, and hummed: "It's okay to write."

Lu Qing poked his head around and saw that it said "May Lu Qing live a happy life and be well-off".

Although I don't believe it, but regarding Lu Qingze, Ning Juan is willing to try it.

A smile flashed across Lu Qing's eyes, looking at His Majesty's serious and handsome profile, after a while, he picked up his pen and drew two small figures on the Kongming Lantern.

He draws very steadily, and he can tell who is drawing with three or two strokes on the Kongming lantern.

Like the ice lamp that was once cracked, repaired, and then melted in an unknown spring day.

Ning Juan stared at the lamp, and suddenly wanted to kiss Lu Qingze.

It's a pity that now in public, if Lu Qingze is shy, he won't be able to sleep in Lu Qingze's bed tonight.

The dark guard stepped forward to help light the candles, and the two Kongming lanterns rose into the sky together with countless Kongming lanterns around them, like dandelions blowing away, flickering under the dark sky, carrying the expectations of countless people, lit Light up half of the sky, like fireflies all over the sky.

Lu Qing looked up for a long time, then turned and asked, "Your Majesty, are you still jealous?"

Ning Juan didn't mind it a long time ago, and didn't mind it that much at first. Hearing this, he thought about it: "There is one more thing."

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Is it so difficult to coax?"

Ning Juan looked calm: "In the past, I coaxed you, why don't you coax me instead?"

Lu Qing thought in his heart, if I coax you at any time, it will be fine.

His Majesty the Emperor, who looked as obedient as a puppy, was an insatiable wolf.

The two put up the Kongming lanterns, and walked towards the bustling long street together. They were guessing lantern riddles at the moment, and each store had specially made lanterns on display.

Lu Qingze's gaze happened to pass over a lamp hanging on the eaves of a family. It was also a glazed lamp, but it was more delicate than the one in the palace. When it was lit, it was full of brilliance and beauty.

People around were crowded with guessing lantern riddles, all wanting to solve the riddles quickly and take away the lantern.

If you get a better gift for Ning Juan, Ning Juan will be happy, right?

Lu Qing said that he was not coaxing, but did not hesitate when he saw this, and stepped forward to guess the lantern riddles with everyone.

Ning Juan paused, did not step forward, and stared at Lu Qingze's back without blinking.

This scene matched the scene in his dream.

At this time last year, because of a severe headache, he was lying in Lu Qingze's room in the Lu Mansion, holding Mei Xiang's robes that had already spilled out, and had nightmares one after another in a trance, and he would never be able to touch Lu Qingze's body. back view.

In those dreams, Lu Qing would never turn around, never look back.

I don't know how long it took, and there was a sudden burst of exclamation and regretful sighs.

The Lantern King was taken away.

Lu Qing successfully guessed 81 lantern riddles, tiptoed slightly, and took down the lantern hanging on the eaves.

He was earnestly guessing the lantern riddles, only now did he realize that Ning Juan hadn't followed, turned around suspiciously, took off the obstructing mask with one hand, and held the radiant glass lamp, amidst the brilliant lights, he turned his head and smiled: "Ji Wei, come here."

The man in red is like snow, brighter than the bright moon.

Ning Juan suddenly woke up from a trance, and was brought back to reality by Lu Qingze's voice.

Since the last spring day when we met again, all the nightmares of the past have been melted away by this gentle and smiling gaze, and now there is only joy that is full of steadfastness.

Meeting Lu Qingze's gaze, Ning Juan raised his mouth and walked over quickly: "Here we are."

The past cannot be traced, but they still have countless spring days to meet.
