Raising Wolves

The dinner in Qianqing Palace tonight is quite rich.

When Changshun heard that Lu Qingze was entering the palace, he did not hesitate to secretly order to pass a message and ask the kitchen to change the dinner to a medicinal meal.

Lu Qing glanced at the dish and guessed three points. He glanced at Ning Lian with a half-smiling smile: "Changshun is getting smarter and smarter. You don't bully him on weekdays."

"Understood." Ning Juan obeyed obediently, took a closer look at Lu Qingze, but was dissatisfied, "The heat is hard to dissipate, and the teacher seems to have reduced a little bit. Is this how Chen Xiaodao looks after you in the mansion?"

Lu Qing said: "It's almost done, it's forbidden to step on it."

Lu Qingze's appetite has always been poor. Tonight, under Ning Juan's thoughtful feeding, he ate more than half a bowl. After eating, he only felt that his stomach was bloated and stuffed too full. No more.

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how is Xiaoxue?"

Went to the Eagle Room to see Xiaoxue, and then walked back, and it was almost digested.

Ning Juan didn't like the broken bird very much, and reluctantly replied, "It should be fine."

Lu Qing stood up and said, "I'll go take a look then."

Ning tiredly followed and got up: "I'll accompany..."

"Your Majesty, let's continue with government affairs," Lu Qing tapped on the table with **** and pointed to the direction of the study, "Don't be lazy, Wei Herong's people are waiting to see you make a joke."

Hearing the sound, Ning Juan could only withdraw his legs abruptly, afraid that Lu Qing would feel that he was not doing his job properly, so he snorted, called two guards, and led him with a lamp.

Seeing that Lu Qing was about to leave, he couldn't help but instructed, "The teacher will come back early."

That broken bird has a deep scheming, don't be hooked so that you don't want to come back!

Lu Qingze waved his hand without looking back, and followed the guards out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Changshun followed Ning Juan back to the study and waited on him. Seeing that he didn't seem very happy, he comforted him clearly: "Your Majesty, Master Lu is staying in the palace tonight, maybe he is willing to stay in the day after tomorrow. Your Majesty will approve the book earlier. , I can spend more time with Lord Lu."

Ning Juan glanced at him, noncommittal, remembering Lu Qingze's words, and said lightly: "You have done a good job on your recent errand."

The herbal meal tonight was also well arranged.

Changshun reminded him of the way to keep Lu Qingze, but Lu Qing was soft and not hard.

He knew that he couldn't be impatient, but it was difficult to suppress the urge to rush through his limbs. After the last incident in Lin'an Mansion, although he had already reconciled, it was probably because the night was too chaotic, and Lu Qing stayed behind. He has a bad memory, and when he treats him, occasionally there is a little more caution that he has not noticed and has never had before.

For example, when I came to see him today, I wanted to see the playbook, but stopped again.

I haven't slept with him for a long time.

On the way back to the capital from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Lu Qing was alone in another carriage, saying that he was afraid of getting sick.

He can only sell more and be good, so that Lu Qing is soft-hearted.

Changshun knew very well which errand he was doing well: "Your Majesty has won an award. If you can share your worries for Your Majesty, the servant will be very happy."

"I handed over a pair of golden bowls and golden cups from Pan Jingmin this time, and I will reward you." Ning Juan started writing, and in front of others, he became a dignified and indifferent emperor again, "Go get it."

Changshun's eyes lit up, and he happily thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward!"

Lu Qing left the Qianqing Palace, strolled leisurely, and stepped into the long-awaited Eagle Room.

It was already dark, but the falconer hadn't slept yet. He was sitting at the door carving a dove whistle. He raised his head when he heard footsteps, and saw a young man in white with a silver face walking not far away. He got up: "Master Lu, you are back!"

Lu Qing nodded with a smile: "I'll see Xiaoxue, is the injury healed?"

Mentioning Xiaoxue, the falcon trainer's face suddenly became very complicated: "Not long after you and Your Majesty went south, Xiaoxue's injury will be healed, but..."

"What?" Seeing his embarrassed expression, Lu Qingze's heart lifted slightly.

"It's just... oh, it's hard to describe in words, you'll know when you go in and have a look!" The falconer waved his hand, put away the dove whistle, and led the way in front of him, sighing endlessly, "I have survived five or six eagles before and after when I was young. It's the first time I've seen something like this!"

Lu Qing was full of doubts and followed him into the Eagle Room where Xiaoxue was closed.

In the huge eagle cage, a huge snow-white group huddled in the corner, supported on a shelf, with its head buried in one of the wings, as if it had fallen asleep.

Hearing the footsteps, Hai Dongqing in the corner moved his head and turned his head alertly.

The eyes of one person and one bird meet.

Lu Qing was stunned for a while: "Why... so much fat?"

Fat into a snowball.

The falconer's tone was heavy: "Because it doesn't want to fly, and it eats so much."

Xiaoxue recognized Lu Qingze, her sharp eagle eyes widened, and she slammed into the cage, trying to fly out.

The falconer hurried over and opened the lock.

In the next instant, a big bird with wings more than one meter long fluttered out. The barb of the eagle's beak was like a knife, and the cold light flickered under the candlelight.

This is a bird of prey!

He rushed over to stop him, but Lu Qing had already stretched out his hand and hugged Xiaoxue, his smile deepened: "How long has it been, how come it has grown so much."

Seeing that Xiaoxue didn't attack Lu Qingze, the falconer wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and vomited bitterly: "Lu Taifu doesn't know, it eats too much! It eats three or four fat rabbits in a day, and still It has to be fed to its mouth, coaxed and persuaded before it is willing to eat, and after eating, let it out, but it will not move, just poke it, if it is placed on the hunting ground, it will not even catch the prey!"

Xiaoxue seemed to understand the spit behind the falconer's back, her head tilted, and the falconer glared at the falconer.

The falconer shut up immediately.

This fat bird not only eats too much and refuses to move, but also holds revenge.

Lu Qing weighed the weight with difficulty.

The fat is a little fatter, but the injury is healed. If you continue to feed like this, it will be bad for this little guy to lose his hunting instinct.

Still have to be released.

Hearing the falcon trainer say that Xiaoxue would not move, Lu Qing thought about it, and took it outside, let go of the big bird, and tried to communicate with it: "I throw the food, can you catch it?"

Xiaoxue put away her wings and tilted her head, her eyes full of naivety.

Lu Qing took the clip handed by the falcon trainer and picked up a piece of meat. Xiaoxue thought he was going to feed himself and opened his mouth.

But I saw Lu Qing throwing the meat with all his strength and throwing the meat into the sky!

After brushing it, the dark shadows swept across the eyes of several people in the courtyard, and the big eagle fluttered its wings, as fast as lightning, firmly grabbed the piece of meat in mid-air, flapped its wings, and gracefully landed on the eaves, proud Di raised his head and chest, looked down at everyone below, bowed his head and ate supper.

The falconer was stunned: "So it can still fly?"

Lu Qing touched his chin: "This is the power of the ancestral bloodline."

It seems that there is no need to worry that the fat bird can't even find food after it is released.

The falconer slowly closed his wide-open mouth: "You don't know, we also tried to feed Xiaoxue this way, but he didn't care at all, and you had to do it."

Lu Qing laughed and laughed: "If I have time, I will come to exercise Xiaoxue often."

After playing with the excited Big Bird for a while, Lu Qing deeply felt that not only did Xiaoxue get the amount of exercise, but he also got it, and he was sweating.

Seeing that it was not early, if he didn't go back, Ning Juan was going to send someone to urge him, so he sent Xiaoxue back, said goodbye to the falcon trainer, and returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Passing by the South Study Room, the lights inside were not out yet, and His Majesty was still writing.

Lu Qing went to take a bath and came out, while His Majesty the Emperor was still writing.

Previously, Lu Qing accompanied Ning Juan to read the playbook all afternoon, and felt a big headache.

The words and phrases used in these memorials are extremely cumbersome, parallel and long-winded. After reading a large volume, and then putting forward key information, it is troublesome and hurts the eyes. It may even be difficult to extract effective information after reading a long book.

No wonder there are emperors who choose court officials after reading five thousand words of nonsense.

Originally, many cases should be handed over to the cabinet for processing. After the cabinet votes, it will be reported to Ning Juan. Ning Juan only needs to make a ruling and submit it to the supervisor of ceremonies for approval.

However, Wei Herong deliberately sent these memorials to Ning Juan, and the workload was extremely cumbersome.

Probably wanting to let Ning Juan retreat in spite of the difficulties and delegating powers back to the cabinet, but the cabinet is led by the Guardian Party.

Children have not yet reached the age of 18. In modern times, underage child labor is employed.

Lu Qing looked at the brightly lit study and felt a little distressed for the child. He went to the kitchenette to bring a bowl of iced mung bean and white fungus soup, returned to the south study, and knocked on the door.

Ning Juan was frowning and looking at the nonsense thing in front of him, thinking that it was Changshun outside the door, and casually replied: "Come in."

People came in, but didn't say anything. Instead, something was put on the table. Ning Lan raised his eyebrows irritably. Seeing Lu Qingze's face, he swallowed the rebuke and smiled involuntarily: " The teacher is back? Did you bring me the soup?"

Lu Qing looked at his annoyed look and touched his head: "Drink some soup to relieve the heat, take a break, how much is left? I'll give you an approval, you can watch by the side."

No matter how many candles are lit at night, it will hurt the eyes to see these things. Ning Juan is not very happy: "Not many, I will finish it in a while."

After a suspicion, Lu Qing actually had a hard time defining some distance.

Don't you want him to see it?

He pondered for a while, and then suspected that he was thinking too much and didn't say anything. He sat on the side, holding his chin and watching Ning Wan drink the soup.

Ning Juan drank the sweet soup while secretly looking at Lu Qingze.

As the saying goes, look at beauty under the light.

Lu Qing is undoubtedly a beauty like the moon and snow.

The sleeves fell, and the exposed wrist was thin and snow-white. Looking up, you could see the cheeks that were a little rosy because they had just finished bathing, and the black hair that was scattered about the face seemed to glow.

Unlike the weak and pale in the past, at this moment, his lips are red, his eyes are shining, and there is a tear in the corner of his eye.

Ning Juan's heart beat faster, the fingertips holding the porcelain spoon turned white, and with a lot of energy, he barely opened his eyes, lest Lu Qing find the burning in his eyes.

Lu Qing twisted his still slightly damp hair and chatted casually: "Xiaoxue's injury is healed, I went to see him in the Eagle's room just now, and he has gained a lot of weight, but fortunately his hunting skills have not subsided much, find a time to put Let it go."

Ning tired a meal: "Don't the teacher like it very much?"

If you like it, why not stay?

Lu Qing blinked: "I just like it, so I can't lock it, otherwise it will be forced to stay and kill its nature. Isn't it a tragedy?"

Ning Wan's hand holding the porcelain bowl tightened.

If it wasn't for knowing that Lu Qing was extremely slow in the matter of love, and hadn't discovered his dark and dirty thoughts, he almost thought that Lu Qing was speaking to him.

He took a deep look at Lu Qingze: "Let it stay in the capital, it will be fed every day, and if you want to go out to relax, someone will take it with you. Compared with the life of release, it is no different, not even Wouldn't it be better if there was more danger?"

When discussing Xiaoxue before, didn't the little brat take the initiative to say that Xiaoxue would be released?

Why did you suddenly change your mind now?

Lu Qing frowned slightly.

When the two met, Ning Juan was already eleven or twelve years old, and the three views were basically fixed, but it was difficult for Lu Qing to teach Ning Juan some concepts that were different from the current world.

Moreover, the emperor of the feudal society cannot really be taught to be a modern-minded youth, otherwise Ning Juan will only die faster.

So he hesitated for a while and didn't try to argue: "Unless it stays voluntarily, it will always wither if it is locked here."

Ning Juan pursed his lips, he agreed with most of Lu Qingze's ideas.

But perhaps it was Lu Qing's unintentional words that struck his mind precisely, and he rarely gave birth to a bit of disapproval.

Teacher is a beautiful but fragile flower that attracts countless people to climb and break. They covet and want to break it, but he will interrupt those people's hands, take care of them, and water them carefully.

The only condition is to stay with him.

What's wrong with staying with him?

The danger outside is only more difficult than being by his side.

The dark thoughts that swelled in my heart kept surging, Ning Wan swallowed the last mouthful of mung bean soup, and smiled lightly: "Teacher, wait for me for a while, I'll be fine soon."

Lu Qing didn't get an accurate answer, and was also a little puzzled. Seeing that Ning Juan was burying his head at the desk again, he could only temporarily hold his mind and wait for Ning Juan to deal with the last piece of writing.

It was late at night when the treatment was over, Ning Juan went to take a bath, and the bottom of his eyes was a little red.

Changshun carried the lamp, sent the two to the front of the bedroom, and quickly disappeared in small steps.

Lu Qing blinked and saw a trace of intentionality.

What are you running for in a hurry?

When he entered the room, he realized that something was wrong, and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor wonderingly: "What are you doing here?"

Ning Juan was even more innocent: "Teacher, this is my bedroom."

That's right.

Lu Qingze just waited for Ning Juan to drink the medicine while taking a bath, but now he was sleepy, and yawned a little: "Then you go to bed early, and you have to go to court tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Ning Juan was so angry at him that he couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed Lu Qingze and gritted his teeth: "Changshun walked away with the lamp, it's pitch black outside, where are you going?"

Lu Qing then realized how Chang Shun slipped away so quickly, and was speechless for a while.

Ning Juan grabbed his wrist, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Lu Qingze gloomily: "You just don't want to sleep with me?"

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Ning Juan was a bit like that night.

That night, Ning Juan did not cause any substantial harm to him, but it made him feel a little bit of a sense of danger.

This little brat seems not only to be a coquettish puppy, but also has sharp teeth and claws, with a sharp aggression.

Out of subconscious anxiety, I don't want to sleep with Ning Jian anymore.

Seemingly aware of his attitude, Ning Juan immediately let go and lowered his eyes, "I knew that the teacher was still blaming me."

Lu Qingze: "..."

here we go again!

It's okay for this little brat to act, why does he just eat this trick? !

Lu Qing was hesitant to say anything, but in the end he didn't say those hurtful words, and he showed another reason without mercy: "To be honest, it's too hot to sleep with you, lying on the same bed at night with a little boy Like a stove."

Ning Juan: "...I'll ask someone to add an ice basin."

Since the beginning of summer, how many times has he been so disliked by Lu Qingze?

After pulling for a while, Lu Qing was finally defeated, and reluctantly took an extra soft pillow and placed it between the two of them, as the Chuhe Hanjie, it was stipulated that Ning Juan was not allowed to cross the border to scald him, only willing Lie on the dragon bed.

Ning Juan was so suffocated that the fire didn't go anywhere.

I don't know how many people wanted to climb the dragon bed but couldn't. Only Lu Qingze had to coax and persuade him to get on the dragon bed, and he had to be careful of being disliked by him.

The young His Majesty lay down depressed.

He usually doesn't sleep well. Benzoin is lit in the bedroom, and the smell is a bit strong. Lu Qing is far away. The familiar plum fragrance is faint, hooking people, and laying quietly for a while, Ning Juan can't help it. He rubbed against Lu Qingze.

Immediately, a cold fingertip was tapped on his forehead.

Lu Qing half-opened his eyes dimly, put a finger on Ning Juan's head, and pushed him back, half-awake and full of vigilance: "Your Majesty, you have crossed the border."

Ning Juan retracted reluctantly and looked at Lu Qingze's profile angrily.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the jade plate outside the window became more and more round, and the bright moonlight sprinkled into the house, passed through the tulle bed tent, and was sifted even more gently on Lu Qingze's face, with two long eyelashes quietly. closed.

Ning Juan's breathing couldn't help but lighten up. Seeing that Lu Qingze's breathing gradually became even, he fell into a deep sleep.

The teacher is so beautiful, how could he let him go.

I don't know how long it took, but Ning Juan tentatively moved over there and called out in a low voice, "Huaixue?"

I don't know if it was because of Ning Juan's side or because of the benzoin, Lu Qing slept very deeply and didn't feel anything.

Ning Juan indifferently glanced at the pillow that was used to draw the Chuhe Han boundary, ignored it, stretched out his hand gently, and the sleeping Lu Qingze was brought into his arms.

The faint plum fragrance that seemed to have no attraction before suddenly became fragrant.

Ning Juan secretly decided that when he took Lu Qingze to the bedroom later, he had to put out the benzoin.

Suddenly taken into a hot embrace, Lu Qing struggled uncomfortably twice, but failed to break free, so he frowned and continued to sleep peacefully, accepting the reality quickly.

There was a smile on Ning Juan's lips, but he couldn't help kissing him on the forehead, and he hugged Lu Qingze and closed his eyes with satisfaction.

Early in the morning the next day, Lu Qing was woken up by the heat.

In the dream, he seemed to be boiled in warm water, and he couldn't escape. The bursts of heat forced him to pull out of his sleep.

I don't know why the dormitory with two basins of ice is so hot, but Lu Qing opened his eyes with sweat on his head, and found vaguely that there was only a strong arm around his waist.

Looking up, he saw the handsome and handsome face of the young man sleeping.

Lu Qing's mind was still awake, and thoughts popped out of his mind one by one:

Ning Guoguo has always been very obedient.

Could it be that he rolled over unknowingly last night?

Sometimes he is not very honest when sleeping.

The mind and body were not awake at the same time. Lu Qing thought for a long time without bounds. After the perception gradually recovered, he suddenly realized that something was not right.

Under the thin quilt, Ning Wan hugged him tightly.

The bedclothes were thin, and the bodies of the two came closer.

So many things that are hard to hide, let him feel without hindrance.

Realizing what it was, Lu Qing's mind, which had been slowly awake for three minutes, was clouded again.

As if being sweetened by the tongue of fire, he struggled abruptly. Ning Juan was awakened from his sweet sleep and opened his eyes alertly. Before he could react, Lu Qing struggled again, and the boy frowned suddenly. , pressing his waist, his voice hoarse: "Teacher... don't move."

Lu Qing's expression was blank.

The atmosphere in the room was unclear, Changshun also led people outside the bedroom, and was about to knock on the door to enter, reminding Ning Juan that he should get up and change his clothes, but before he knocked, he heard a loud "dong" from the room.

Chang Shun was startled, he didn't care much, he quickly pushed open the door and rushed in: "What's the matter?"

Then he saw Lu Qingze sitting on the bed with a strange expression, his clothes and hair were messed up, and His Majesty the emperor lay down under the bed with his clothes untidy, frowned, sat up, glanced coldly, grabbed the shoes next to him, and threw them away. His voice was still a little dumb, and his tone was not good: "Who let you in? Get out!"

For a moment, Chang Shun seemed to see his little golden bowl flying away.

He didn't even think about it, he withdrew with a swoosh, slammed the door, stood outside with a straight face, forbidding others to approach.

After waiting in trembling for a long time, His Majesty came out with a clean face, and said lightly: "Go to the warm pavilion next to you to change your clothes."

Changshun: "…"

So what exactly happened?

Your Majesty is... being kicked off the dragon bed by Lord Lu?

He didn't dare to ask these words out of his mouth. After hesitating again and again, Changshun still whispered: "Your Majesty, your forehead is a little blue... Would you like to apply some medicine?"

Ning Lan: "…"

Seeing that Ning Juan was silent, Changshun did not dare to say a word, and silently waited on Ning Juan to change his clothes and put on his clothes.

He was really worried all the time about His Majesty's use of force on Lord Lu!

Ning Juan put on his clothes with a paralyzed face, still thinking about what Lu Qingze had just said to him.

After Lu Qing kicked him out of bed, his ears were all red, like a mirror lake that had been thrown by a stone. Two sentences.

The first sentence is: "It's normal, I don't mind."

The second sentence is: "Well... Guoguo is very healthy."

He sat on the ground, looked at Lu Qingze, and pretended to be puzzled: "Is the teacher like this too?"

One sentence made Lu Qingze's ears redder two more points.

Lu Qingze's breath was not stable: "Naturally."

The corners of Ning Juan's mouth twitched, and his eyes were dark and unclear. As long as he thought about Lu Qingze's performance at the time, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

It's cute that the teacher is shy and forced to calm down.

He was suddenly in a better mood, and he took the tea and took a sip: "Keep the teacher, don't let him out of the palace with a chariot."

If it weren't for the lack of time... When the next day comes back, he will tease the teacher again.

He didn't realize how short the Spring Night was, but he didn't want to go to the morning.

Ning Juan thought very well, but Lu Qing had legs.

Being stopped and not giving him a chariot, he leaned on his two legs and slowly swayed out of the Forbidden City.

On the way, I heard some gossip about the little palace maids and eunuchs. When His Majesty went to court today, his forehead seemed to be a little blue, and he was calm, so he just pretended not to hear it.

By the time Ning Juan came back, he had already slipped away.

Changshun was also very helpless: "Master Lu must go, but the slaves don't dare to stop him, for fear of hurting him..."

He firmly believed in his heart that, in His Majesty's heart, the safety of Lord Lu must be more important than keeping Lord Lu behind.

Ning Juan was at a loss for words, but with Lu Qing he had no choice but to send Chang Shun to the Lu Mansion again, to send more things to cool off, and to send someone to collect new things.

so as not to be rejected next time.

Lu Qing returned to the Lu Mansion, ignoring Chen Xiaodao's teasing eyes, and said with a straight face, "We will close the door and see no guests for the next two days."

Chen Xiaodao guessed if he had quarreled with His Majesty again, and scratched his head.

Waking up too early, Lu Qing was still sleepy, and staggered back to the room to catch up.

He has always been able to fall asleep with a pillow, but this time he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Thinking of what happened in the morning made me feel so embarrassed.

In fact, there is nothing to care about, but he is like a demon, and he can't forget it, and it's awkward everywhere.

Through this, Lu Qing finally realized that Ning Juan had really grown up.

Lu Qing had been a tortoise in the palace for a few days, and the rewards from the palace would be sent from time to time.

After another two days, the palace was full of ups and downs, and there was a vague news.

His Majesty was poisoned and unconscious.
