Chapter 62 Gambling

Mu Qingya quietly followed Duanmuqing with a just right smile on his face, which was quiet and particularly pleasing to the eyes.

Speaking of which, Concubine Qin's palace is not close to the imperial garden, but Duanmu Qing has no intention of riding the imperial car at all, but quietly walks forward.

When passing by Yi Cuixuan, he suddenly stopped, rested with his hands behind his back for a long time and asked, "What do you think of the water?"

Mu Qingya was stunned and then looked at the lake in the distance: "The wind is calm!"

Duanmuqing smiled and said, "Yes, the wind is calm. When she asked this, I also answered like this. I asked her if she was right. She never replied to me, but smiled quietly, as if no one could accommodate her world. Duan Muqing's tone was flat, but there was a strong nostalgia and loss between the lines, and he heard that people were inexplicably sour.

Mu Qingya's eyes moved slightly and did not speak. She had some understanding in her heart. I'm afraid the purpose of the reason why Concubine Qin tried her to put on this dress is also here. This dress must have been worn by "she" in Duanmuqing's mouth now. I think there are also people who have been punished by Duanmuqing for wearing it like this again. , she definitely hoped that she would be punished for this, but why didn't Duan Muqing get angry as expected? Although she was puzzled, Mu Qingya still knew that what Duan Muqing needed now was not her answer.

Sure enough, Duanmuqing paused for a long time and said, "At the beginning, I forcibly brought her into the court. I also thought that one day I could take off the burden on my shoulders and accompany her around the vast world. However, I did not put down my responsibility on my shoulders, and she also could not give up my yearning for the outside. I I was destined to be separated from her, but I didn't expect to use such a tragic form... Thinking about it, Ling Yu also hated me. It was me who killed his mother and killed him!"

Mu Qingya tightened her back, bent her knees and knelt down on the ground, quietly lowered her head and said nothing.

Duanmuqing heard the movement and looked at her slightly: "How about looking at the water now?"

Mu Qingya raised her eyes: "The wind is calm!"

"Ha ha, what? Don't you dare to tell the truth? Just say anything, and I will forgive you for your innocence!"

"Qingya did not lie. In Qingya's view, this water has only one characteristic, which is calm!"

"The wind is calm..." Duan Muqing muttered slightly, "What you said is also reasonable. This water is indeed too calm! It should be a little turbulent, what do you think?

Mu Qingya lowered her head: "Qingya doesn't understand, but I feel that nothing can remain unchanged. Only by constantly changing can we see what other forces are not working. It is water that should be soft and strong."

"Hehe, you're right. Get up!" Duanmuqing turned his head to look at Mu Qingya, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for your grace!"

Duanmuqing nodded: "Your father has been on his journey for two days?"

"It has been two days since I returned to the emperor!"

"Well, you shouldn't have let your father go for this disaster relief, but those who can work hard. It's understandable that your father has the ability to let him go!"

Duan Muqing's tone was as intimate as a senior to the younger generation, but Mu Qingya felt that her back was slowly getting cold. Her movements in Kyoto were not small. In Kyoto, where there was no foundation at all, it was impossible to hide the emperor's eyes, but she didn't expect Duan Muqing to find it so quickly and looked at it. With his dark and deep eyes, Mu Qingya's heart trembled. I'm afraid he also knew Duanmu Lingyu's movements! So, what exactly does he mean? How can you watch a few sons kill each other!

Duan Muqing's eyes were quiet, as if they were in the night sky before the storm: "My sons are old, and I think you also know something about it. Which one do you feel is the best?"

"Several princes are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and all of them are excellent. Qingya really doesn't know which one is the best?"

Duanmuqing sneered: "Every time I ask those ministers, they also answer the same. I know that it is their way of being a minister, and I don't want to care about it. Why? When I hear you say this today, I always feel extremely harsh!"

"Qingya knows his mistake, please forgive the emperor?"

Duanmuqing looked at Mu Qingya for a long time and finally shook his head: "At the beginning, my grandmother told me that standing in this high position, I was destined to be alone all my life. At that time, I was full of ambition. How could I believe it? Now I have some experience it!"

Mu Qingya's eyes flashed slightly, and Duan Muqing ascended the throne as a young man. He has been the emperor for more than 50 years now. He has eliminated the regent who controlled the government, suppressed the rebellion in the northwest, recovered the North Island wetlands, eradicated the powerful vassal king, and ruled the whole Yuhan country in an orderly manner. If he had this idea, how could he come here? One step, so what is the purpose of him saying this now?

Duan Muqing asked, "Don't you believe it?"

"Qingya doesn't dare, but he is a little puzzled. How could the emperor suddenly have such an idea?"

"You think my heart is not fleshy. I have contributed almost all my life to the Yuhan Kingdom, and it's time to do something about myself. At the beginning, I couldn't avenge her with my own hands for Yuhan. Now more than ten years have passed, and I should give her an explanation. Otherwise, under the nine springs, what face will I have to see her? "

In Duanmuqing's mouth, she is Duanmu Lingyu's mother, Zhenfei! So does saying this mean that he knows the murderer of Zhenfei?

Mu Qingya raised her head and looked straight into Duan Muqing's eyes: "Why did the emperor say this to Qingya?"

"Why, don't you pretend to be polite?" Duan Muqing's eyes were slightly bright, and he looked at Mu Qingya and said with a smile.

"Didn't the emperor want to see Qingya like this?"

Duan Muqing nodded: "Indeed, at the first sight when I saw you, I knew that there was a kind of pride in your bones, the same pride as me, especially these eyes. Although these eyes were well covered up, I still saw from them full of height and who gave up to me. If I didn't know your identity, I would have But I thought you were the princess I left behind! Your eyes are too similar to her!"

"Is the emperor talking about Empress Zhen?"

"Yes, Princess Zhen! Ling Yuran must have told you!"

"Indeed!"

"Ha ha, that's good. Well, it's time to go to the Royal Garden. It's getting late. Let's go!"

"Yes!" Mu Qingya's tone was flat, but she had already sweated coldly. Today's decision is almost equivalent to a big gamble. The bet is the emperor's sincerity. What Duan Muqing said is just to test her, so she will die immediately if she says those words. Even if what he says is true, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not doubt her. No matter which path she chooses, it is extremely unfavorable to her, and she has no choice but to push herself to the position of the chess piece. Once her answer can't satisfy Duanmuqing, I believe she will find it difficult for her to get out of this palace again! Fortunately, this level has been passed for the time being!

Before entering the royal garden, I heard bursts of crisp or charming laughter!

The arrival of Duan Muqing suddenly changed the atmosphere of the real banquet. The concubines led by Wanfei saluted and greeted: "I have seen the emperor!"

"Let's all be flat!" Duanmuqing said in a flat tone.

"Thank you, Emperor!"

Mu Qingya looked over and looked at Qin Fei's slightly panicked eyes. She sneered slightly in her heart and took a step forward: "Mu Qingya has seen all the ladies!"

Concubine Wan quickly shouted, "Hurry up, you are also coming. I heard that you have entered the palace before, so I wanted to announce that you would come to see you. I don't want Qin's sister to say that you are not feeling well and raised in the side hall. Is it okay now?"

Concubine Qin's face changed, and her heart thumped: Lying in the palace is nothing. The important thing is not to let your lies be exposed. In this deep palace, the woman does not have a set of lying skills. The words have been practiced so seamless that people can't find any mistakes. In this place where there are too many things are not seen. Fang, what I'm most afraid of is that the lie will be exposed face to face!

Mu Qingya lowered her head slightly: "Thank you for your consideration. Qingya's body is nothing serious, but the weather is too hot and uncomfortable for a while. It's only for Concubine Qin to give more consideration to let Qingya rest more!"

Wanfei nodded and said indifferently, "That's good!"

Duanmuqing sat in the first seat, looked at the poems in front of everyone and said, "Are you writing poems?"

Concubine Wan smiled and said, "If you go back to the emperor, where are my concubines and others writing poems? They are obviously painting!"

"Oh? Painting?" Duan Muqing was interested. He walked down and checked each case in person. Sure enough, he saw all kinds of lotus painted on the snow-white rice paper and nodded slightly, "That's good!"

Concubine Qin came forward: "The emperor rarely has time, why don't you take this opportunity to personally guide the ministers and concubines?"

Qin's words naturally attracted everyone's approval, and gathered slightly around Duan Muqing. You and I talked to each other without any confusion!

"Ha ha, Qingya, take a look, which of these pictures is the best?"

Duan Muqing's words guided everyone's eyes to Mu Qingya. When he saw her wearing it, his eyes flashed a little. Mu Qingya saluted: "Your Majesty, Qingya is still young, and Danqing's painting is even more knowledgeful. How dare you evaluate it!"

"I asked you to see, and you boldly said that with me here, who else dares to do anything to you?"

Concubine Qin's face changed, and her hand holding the handkerchief turned slightly white, and she almost jumped out in panic. The emperor's words would be equivalent to giving Mu Qingya a death-free amulet. Who dares to touch her hair?

"In this case, then Qingya will make a bold evaluation! Wanfei's painting effect is simple, and the writing is light and heavy. A few strokes describe the whole look of the lotus on the paper, which is a rare work. The painting of Concubine Qin is delicate, and it looks like a whole lotus flower on the paper. The paintings of other women also have their own advantages. Can't you really see the best one?

"Ha, you are really a girl. In this case, let's reward them all!"
