She favors the Sixth Palace again

Chapter 96
The following days in Cuiwei Mountain became simpler and more relaxed. Even the ministers who came along seemed to be soothed by the greenery of the mountain, and they all talked much more pleasantly about government affairs.

Ning Zhao didn't have many concubines in the harem, and only a few came to Cuiwei Mountain to stay at the palace. The frequency of seeing Ning Zhao also greatly increased.

The former dynasty was stable, the concubines in the harem were no longer in trouble, and the troubles in his heart were all solved. Ning Zhao was more peaceful than when he was in the palace.

"Cuiwei Mountain is such a good place." The concubines who went to deliver snacks were all happy.

The only thing that made Ning Zhao dissatisfied was that Yun Lan was becoming more and more attached to Yun Yuwei these days.

Zhang Menggui and Yun Lan took up a lot of Yun Yuwei's time. As an emperor, he had to watch the right time if he wanted to be alone with Yun Yuwei.

"I still indulge them too much." Ning Zhao said angrily.

Eunuch Defu followed Ning Zhao, with a happy smile on his white and plump face: "Your Majesty's kindness is a blessing to all people. Since they are His Majesty's subjects, they are naturally indispensable for bathing in holy blessings."

"You are becoming more and more eloquent." Ning Zhao smiled.

In recent days, he has obviously become more relaxed and smiles more outside.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"Get up."

The person in front of him was Qin Yunzheng.

Wearing armor, the young man looked even more heroic. Although he lowered his head, his face seemed to be completely hidden in the shadow cast by the helmet, making it difficult to see clearly.

Even so, Ning Zhao also knew that Qin Yunzheng's expression must be humble.

"You don't have to be too formal in Cuiwei Mountain." Ning Zhao said with a smile.

"Yes." Qin Yunzheng responded in a deep voice.

Ning Zhao looked at his well-behaved appearance as always and couldn't help but laugh: "Aiqing is always like this."

Qin Yunzheng just followed Ning Zhao silently.

The paths in the mountains are naturally not as flat and wide as the avenues in the palace, but they are filled with the fragrance of wild grass and wild flowers, and the mountain breeze brings coolness from time to time, which is quite interesting.

Such a good time and beautiful scenery were wasted on these two grown men.

Ning Zhao laughed softly.

Qin Yunzheng didn't understand what he meant and just curled his lips.

Ning Zhao glanced at him. In the past two years, Qin Yunzheng has become more steady and silent, and more and more like Qin Zhen. He can hardly remember how high-spirited and high-spirited the young general he was in the dreams of countless girls in the capital. Wanton and free.

But that's fine.

Ning Zhao smiled slightly: "General Qin, how much do you know about King Annan?"

Qin Yunzheng's heart finally relaxed a little. He thought about it seriously and said: "I am young and have little knowledge. I have only met King Annan a few times when I was young, and I don't have much impression. It's just that over the years, I have heard about it. King Annan is good at using troops and is a profound man."

"Good at using soldiers and a profound man." Ning Zhao repeated these eight words, "Qin Aiqing can remember this evaluation. It seems that over the years, King Annan's prestige has not diminished."

Qin Yunzheng's heart lifted again.

"Don't be nervous," Ning Zhao smiled again, "Just a casual chat. What do you think of King Annan's entry into the capital?"

"Coming to the capital without being summoned is a serious crime for King Annan." Qin Yunzheng said.

"Oh?" Ning Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I can convict King Annan?"

Qin Yunzheng's palms began to sweat.

He was a little unsure at first, so Ning Zhao asked what this series of questions meant.

"I dare not speak nonsense." Qin Yunzheng said.

"Look at you, you say it's just a casual chat, but you're still so serious, it's boring." Ning Zhao said with a smile.

"I know the crime." Qin Yunzheng bowed and confessed. "I told you that there is no need to be polite," Ning Zhao smiled and gave him a hand, "If you were to face King Annan head-on, would you be confident?"

"I have never fought against King Annan." Qin Yunzheng said honestly.

This is not the answer Ning Zhao wants.

He looked quietly towards the distant mountains. The green peaks were endless, as if they merged with the sky.

After a long time, he asked again: "When King Annan enters the capital, he may take a detour to Cuiwei Mountain. If there is a conflict here, can you protect my noble concubine?"

Qin Yunzheng's heart thumped.

"I will never give up even if I die." He said hoarsely.

Ning Zhao looked at him with increasingly sharp eyes, as if trying to find some flaw in him.

"But I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I am not absolutely sure when I face King Annan directly," Qin Yunzheng said. "My father is the person who knows King Annan best."

Ning Zhao said nothing.

Qin Yunzheng maintained his saluting posture, feeling that the sweat on his back was seeping through his armor.

Ning Zhao was able to successfully ascend the throne, and the Qin family also made great contributions; but the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the Qin family not only dared not take credit, but also became more cautious because of Qin Yunzheng's short friendship with Yun Yuwei in the past.

The air in the mountains suddenly became thinner, and Qin Yunzheng's heart gradually became bitter.

After a long time, Ning Zhao reached out and personally helped Qin Yunzheng up.

"Qin Aiqing," he smiled, "you are too serious."

Did you pass this level in a daze?

Qin Yunzheng was confused.

On the other side, Yun Lan was accompanying Yun Yuwei to climb the mountain.

"Didn't you say you were going to Inspiration Temple with the Queen Mother? Why did you suddenly go by yourself today?" Yun Lan was puzzled.

Although he doesn't want Yun Yuwei to have anything to do with the Queen Mother at all, and he doesn't want Yun Yuwei to go to the Inspiration Temple to worship Buddha, but if something goes wrong, it will be a monster - you know, Yun Yuwei's decision will not be changed easily. .

When they came out, Zhang Menggui learned that Yun Yuwei wanted to go hiking and clamored to come with him, but Yun Yuwei firmly refused.

Originally, Yun Lan was also rejected, but he was not as easy to coax as Zhang Menggui. He mainly refused to take soft and hard advice. Yun Yuwei was helpless, so he reluctantly agreed.

"Step in." Yun Yu said briefly.

Yun Lan rolled her eyes subconsciously: "I'm not going to push the Queen Mother off the top of the mountain. What point are you going to step on?"

Yun Yuwei glared at him when he heard this: "No nonsense!"

"There's no one else here." Yun Lan refused.

This time when they went up the mountain, they didn't even take Bai Zhi and Yun Yuwei with them. Only Bai Su followed them silently.

Yun Yuwei was angry and funny at the same time, and simply didn't know what to say.

"Sister, you won't lie to me, right?" Yun Lan asked again.

Yun Yu poked his forehead with a smile: "What did I lie to you about?"

Yun Lan looked at Yun Yuwei. Although she didn't dress up in the palace on weekdays, she would wear complicated hair buns and some jewelry. Today, Yun Yuwei seemed to have made up her mind to go there. In Inspiration Temple, she got up early and dressed up just like she did before marrying Ning Zhao. Her black hair was braided and hung on her chest. Although it was not coarse linen, she was still wearing crisp Yunjin clothes and pants - Yunjin. Rarely, he felt that Yun Yuwei would not ask someone to cut such clothes, and it must have been arranged by Ning Zhao.

Ning Zhao arranged it, which means... they must have had a plan in advance.

Sadness and tension surged out of Yun Lan's chest together.
