MTL - Raising Wolves-v2 Chapter 18
When Lu Qing arrived in Xiyuan, all the officials had basically arrived.
During the whole day of the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone can't stop. They get up early in the morning to take a roll call, meet the emperor, and then hold activities such as dragon boat rowing and willow shooting. There is also a Dragon Boat Festival dinner in the evening.
Lu Qing made an analogy in his mind. It was probably a combination of elementary school outings, large-scale team building activities, and awards given by leaders at the company's annual meeting.
After waiting for a while, Ning Juan also came over from the Qianqing Palace and led a hundred officials to the royal garden.
Lu Qing walked in front, with Wei Herong beside him.
Wei Herong doesn't seem to be in a good mood today. Although he can't tell from his face, he used to be hypocritical and polite to people in the past, but today he has his sleeves covered and no one cares, and he doesn't know what he is thinking about.
Lu Qing just glanced at him, and the old fox turned his face in a hurry, caught his gaze keenly, and showed a smile that was neither yin nor yang: "Master Lu, stay safe."
On a rare good day, Lu Qing was too lazy to talk to the old fox, so he lowered his head decisively, coughed violently, and said very weakly: "It's not bad, thank you First Assistant Wei for your concern."
After he finished speaking, he continued to cough, so that the people around him couldn't bear to hear it.
Wei Herong: "..."
Of course Wei Herong could see that Lu Qing was doing it on purpose, but seeing his coughing and his lips turning white, he didn't know what to think, he snorted lowly, but he didn't say anything. Leave him behind.
Lu Qing finished the performance and slowly retracted the veil.
Except for the turmoil about the lecturer of the little emperor and the previous dynasty five years ago, they have stayed put in the past few years, Wei Herong has never been shriveled again, and his actions have become more and more arrogant.
But he was extremely cautious, and he did things without leaving any traces.
In the original text, the perspective is on the protagonist, and there is not so much description of Ning Juan. It is only a sentence that Ning Juan broke down Wei Herong when he was 19 years old, and did not write too much.
Fortunately, some ministers in the DPRK have taken refuge in secret, and there is support from Feng Gelao's bright side. At least now, Ning Juan is much better than in the original book, and is no longer isolated and helpless.
All it takes is an opportune moment to eradicate Wei Herong's influence in the court.
Lu Qing raised his eyes and stared at the tall and straight back of the young man.
The tyrant in the original book is too lonely, and his short life is extremely hasty. Even if he sits on the dragon chair and accepts the worship of the people and officials, he is still alone.
He wants Ning Juan to be supported by thousands of people, and to make a name for Qing Shi.
When boarding the dragon boat, Baiguan Lie was waiting on the shore, but Lu Qing turned his head, only to find that Wei Herong was gone.
A group of people waited for a long time under the rising sun, but no one came back, and gradually became impatient, and exchanged their dissatisfaction with Wei Herong with eyes.
It's okay to be rude and rude on weekdays, but now you dare to do it!
There are many people in the garden today, Jingying and Jinyiwei are both patrolling and on duty, and Zheng Yao is also on the list.
Ning Juan casually gave him a look.
The two never had contact in front of others, and they developed a very high tacit understanding. After receiving Ning Juan's eyes, Zheng Yao blinked.
Ning Juan retracted his gaze with a calm face: "I'm afraid Shoufu Wei has been delayed, let's go first."
On the dragon boat, Lu Qing stood beside Ning Lian.
The lake was windy, and the early morning wind was cool, but Lu Qing was thin, his sleeves were puffed up by the wind, and he was hunting. .
Ning Juan frowned and turned to block the wind for him.
All the ministers: "…"
All kinds of eyes swept across, and several censors had serious eyebrows, coughing in a low voice.
Lu Qing opened his mouth, trying to make Ning Juan not be so conspicuous, but he accidentally took a sigh of relief, frowning, tilting his head and coughing.
There was no cabin on the dragon boat to hide from the wind, so Ning Wan turned his head decisively: "I suddenly have a headache, let the dragon boat dock."
Ministers: "..."
numb.
It's only half way through!
Where do you have a headache, it is almost the same if you feel distressed.
Lu Qing rubbed his forehead.
Now it's him who has the headache.
The dragon boat quickly turned around and returned to the shore.
Ning Juan shook Lu Qingze's hand, only to feel cold, like Tuanxue, his brows furrowed even more, and he instructed Changshun to fetch the robe.
Lu Qing hesitated: "Your Majesty, it's May."
There is such a big sun in the sky, do you want to heat the teacher to death?
Ning Juan: "Then I'll take a sip for the teacher."
"Not decent." Lu Qing pulled his hand back decisively, "What does it look like in the public?"
There was a trace of gloomy unwillingness in Ning Wan's eyes.
Because he is weak right now, can't he even give the teacher a hand in front of others?
If he was in power, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks?
Lu Qing didn't pay attention to Ning Juan's eyes, but he could feel that the young man was not very happy, he looked around, leaned on tiptoe to his ear, and lowered his voice: "Let's talk about it at night, do what you should do, don't be self-willed, and be obedient. ."
The warm breath brushed past his ears, and there was the familiar faint fragrance of plum, Ning Juan's ears were flushed with red, and he was silent for a while, and nodded obediently.
Usually Wei Herong is very strict, Ning Wan is difficult to have contact with foreign ministers, the Dragon Boat Festival feast is naturally an opportunity to contact, while Wei Herong is away now, we must seize the opportunity.
The list of ministers contacted by Lu Qingze was selected according to the memory of the original work, and then sent by Zheng Yao to investigate. They are all officials who will shine in the future, but are currently unknown, so they have not been attracted by the Guardian Party.
It would be better to leave it to Ning Juan to deal with it alone. If he keeps up, it will inevitably make these people feel that "Your Majesty still needs to rely on Taifu to act."
Not long after Ning Juan walked on his forefoot, there was a sudden thud in front of him, and a panicked exclamation burst out: "Someone fell into the water!"
"Who knows water?!"
"Where are the guards and guards? Come and save people!"
Everyone was in a panic, when a black shadow suddenly rushed to the shore, jumped down without hesitation, grabbed the person struggling in the water, and sent the person ashore first, and then climbed up by himself.
He is a young man with a strong and sturdy figure. Judging by the clothes on his body, he is an official in Beijing.
Lu Qing pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward, listening to the whispering voices around him: "Isn't this the son of Mr. Qin, the censor of Zuodu, Qin Yuanan?"
"I heard that Young Master Qin doesn't like studying literature and prefers martial arts. He passed the martial arts test the year before last, and even got into a standoff with Lord Qin..."
"It's not a good civil servant, but I want to be a rude warrior. If I were Lord Qin, I would also beat this unfilial son."
"Hey, I just love to talk nonsense. There is no military general to protect the family and the country, how can you still stand here and say sarcastic words?"
"…"
The person who fell into the water was a low-ranking official, with a pale face, boldly leaned over to take a breath, and his voice trembled: "Dead, dead?"
During the Dragon Boat Festival, someone died, this is not a trivial matter.
Lu Qing pushed aside the person in front of him, walked over, squatted down, and pulled the unlucky guy's collar away.
Even if there is someone who doesn't know Lu Qingze, he will know who he is when he sees the mask: "Lu, Mrs. Lu?"
"How can you take off the clothes of the deceased? It's so disgraceful and insulting!"
Lu Qing ignored the whispered condemnation around him, pinpointed the compression site, and performed chest compressions.
Qin Yuanan saw that Lu Qing was not making trouble, wiped the water on his face, and said coldly: "Be quiet, he is saving people."
After a few breaths, the person lying flat on the ground suddenly choked, and his chest heaved again.
Surrounded by surprise: "Alive again?"
"Hey, the imperial doctor is here, let me let you go!"
"What are you doing here, don't be afraid of being recorded by the Inspectorate!"
"Remember what, the one who fell into the water was a little censor."
Lu Qing closed his eyes and shook his head. When he got up, he was still dizzy and almost fell. Fortunately, Qin Yuanan was right next to him and gave him a hand: "Lord, be careful."
There was a lot of movement here. Ning Juan was seeing a few ministers behind him, when he heard someone falling into the water in front of him, and then heard a few shouts of "Mr. Lu", his heart almost stopped beating, his brain went blank, When he came back to his senses, he had already run over, and when he saw Lu Qing standing there unharmed, he found himself in a cold sweat.
Only later did I realize that if I cared, I would be in chaos.
He sent someone to secretly protect Lu Qingze, how could Lu Qing fall into the water.
Seeing that Qin Yuanan was still supporting Lu Qingze, Ning Juan's face darkened slightly. He walked over and quietly pushed Qin Yuanan away, supported Lu Qingze himself, and then asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Qing explained the situation in a few words, and then motioned to Ning Juan to look at Qin Yuanan with his head down next to him: "It's mainly thanks to Young Master Qin who went into the water to save people."
Ning Juan glanced at Qin Yuanan reluctantly.
Did this person just touch the teacher's hand with both hands?
The little emperor turned over the vinegar jar with a wow in his heart, and said calmly: "You did a good job, what reward do you want?"
Qin Yuanan lowered his head and said in a flat tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty, this is the responsibility of a small minister, and I dare not ask for a reward."
Qin Hui also rushed over and was standing beside him. Originally, he looked at his son wet and worried about his father's love. Seeing his disrespectful appearance, he was angry.
Ning Juan squinted, not dissatisfied with his attitude, and said lightly: "Let's talk about the reward later, go down and change clothes first, Sir Qin is very worried about you."
Qin Yuanan, who had always seemed indifferent, paused for a moment, but didn't look at Qin Hui, just bowed again and turned around.
The little imperial censor who fell into the water was also taken to see the imperial doctor, and everyone dispersed when they saw that everything was fine.
Ning Juan lowered his head and found that Lu Qingze's clothes were soaked wet. Worried that he would suffer from the cold again, he ordered Changshun to bring a bowl of **** soup and come up with clean clothes, and pulled Lu Qingze to find an empty room to change clothes.
Lu Qing was dumbfounded by him: "How can I be so delicate."
Where are you not delicate?
Ning Juan couldn't help but said a word in his heart, and said angrily: "Teacher, you always say that people are more valuable when they have self-knowledge."
Lu Qing choked: "..."
This little brat.
Clean clothes and **** soup were quickly brought into the house.
The clothes on my body are a little wet, which is really uncomfortable.
Lu Qing took the clean clothes and undressed, leaving only his middle clothes.
The middle clothes were also soaked in water, and he was about to take off the middle clothes again.
Ning Juan didn't expect Lu Qing to take off his clothes in front of him like this, and his whole body was immediately blinded.
Just as the snow-white narrow waist was exposed, he suddenly turned around as if he had been stabbed by something, his throat was dry and astringent, and his brain was hot.
When I was in the dormitory in college, it was too hot in summer, and a group of boys took off their clothes if they wanted to. Seeing Ning Juan turn his back, Lu Qing was stunned for a moment.
shy? Or hate seeing same-sex bodies?
Lu Qing was very understanding, and calmly prepared to go around behind the screen. His eyes suddenly narrowed and he noticed that there was blood on the ground.
His expression changed, and before he had time to put on his robe, he immediately walked around: "Guoguo, why is the blood bleeding?!"
Turning to the front, only to find that Ning Juan was covering his nosebleed in embarrassment, his eyes were watery, and his face was a little dazed and overwhelmed.
Seeing Lu Qingze, Ning Juan only felt embarrassed to the extreme, his eyes lowered, and he inadvertently swept across his half-open middle shirt.
The nosebleed was more turbulent for a while, and Ning Wan's mind was buzzing, and he turned his back again, for fear that Lu Qing would turn to look at him again, so he faced the wall and squatted down slowly.
Lu Qingze: "..."
Lu Qingze: "..."
Lu Qing couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
The author has something to say:
Ning Guoguo: Don't look at me, I'm just a little mushroom with nosebleeds.
