Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

At the parade ground government office, the guards saw two men on horseback dismounting and approaching one after the other. Just as they were about to greet them, the two men subconsciously raised their arms to shield their faces and walked past quickly.

He looked at their backs and muttered, "What happened to Deputy General Yang and Su Chengfeng today?"

Passing the training ground, Yang Zhounan saw that there was no one around and could finally walk openly. Su Chengfeng walked up the stairs angrily and came in front of him.

He hurried after her, "Are you still angry? You should be angry enough by now since you got up, right?"

Su Chengfeng felt so angry that his head hurt when he thought about last night. Firstly, he was angry at that bastard named Yang for being so audacious, and secondly, he was also angry at himself for going crazy. He felt that he was about to be infected by living with that person every day.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

Su Chengfeng ignored him. Yang Zhounan took a few steps forward, grabbed his wrist, and said to him, "Hey, I told you you really are so hard-hearted. How could you turn your back on me so quickly?"

"That's up to you." Su Chengfeng pushed him away. "I'm moving out tomorrow."

Yang Zhounan frowned, "I don't agree, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Where I live is none of your business." Su Chengfeng walked across the corridor. "Why do I need your consent?"

Yang Zhounan, who was following beside him, also got angry. "Then you try it. I'll see who dares to rent the house to you."

"You..." Su Chengfeng suddenly stopped and glared at him, "Is there anyone as unreasonable as you?"

"You can say whatever you want," Yang Zhounan warned. "You are not allowed to move out. Stay here. If you dare to sneak out and look for a house, I promise you will move out of every place you find one."

He stepped aside and moved forward. Su Chengfeng was furious. He hated being threatened the most in his life. He walked up quickly to argue with him.

Yang Zhounan stood still in the office. Su Chengfeng followed him in, grabbed him and was about to "curse" him, but he saw the person sitting in front of him staring at them.

He was startled and subconsciously lowered his head to hide behind Yang Zhounan. He heard the man ask, "Why are you here today?"

"Come and take a look." Xiao Yan stared at Yang Zhounan's panda eyes. His lip was red and swollen. He asked, "Who hit you?"

Yang Zhounan coughed unnaturally. Before he could say anything, Xiao Yan glanced at the person behind him and said, "Su Chengfeng, come out."

Su Chengfeng slowly stuck his head out, his expression was exactly the same as Yang Zhounan's. Xiao Yan put down the scroll, stood up and walked over, looking at the two of them with his hands behind his back.

"What's going on with you two?"

Yang Zhounan explained, "I drank too much and... accidentally became like this."

Xiao Yan glanced at Su Chengfeng, then turned to look at Yang Zhounan. "As a deputy general, how can you train the troops when you've gotten into this state after drinking and playing around? You're making a fool of yourself. Find a doctor right away and then go and receive your punishment."

After leaving the office, Yang Zhounan went to the doctor's duty room without saying a word. Su Chengfeng now felt a little sorry for him being scolded.

"Why are you walking so fast? You can just get fined if that's the worst that can happen."

Now it was Yang Zhounan's turn to ignore everyone. Su Chengfeng quickly followed him and called out, "Hey, did you hear that? Mr. Yang."

It was not until an incense stick later in the training room that Yang Zhounan started to speak when he saw Su Chengfeng looking exhausted.

"Didn't you say you would punish me? Why is it not okay?"

"You didn't say you would punish me like this?" Su Chengfeng stood upside down with his legs against the wall, a small wooden basin on the ground, and the skin on his face was pulled hard.

"Who on earth came up with this? It's so vicious! I couldn't sweat that much even if I stood here for three days and three nights. How long will it take to fill this wooden basin? You might as well let me carry the wood."

"What do you think?" Yang Zhounan also pulled his face hard, trying to squeeze out the sweat, "Carrying wood won't count as punishment."

"Only your Lordship could come up with such inhuman torture." Su Chengfeng said with difficulty.

"Don't talk nonsense." Yang Zhounan said, "My family's is next to him, and his is from another family."

"If you talk nonsense again, I will beat you up right away," said Su Chengfeng.

Xiao Yan listened outside the door for a while, and then a soldier came over and asked him to go to Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother was playing with a parrot under a tree in the courtyard. Xiao Yan went over to greet her. "Aunt, what is it that you called me here for?"

The Queen Mother smiled brightly, "Nothing special, it's just that I haven't seen you for a while, and I want you to talk to me for a while."

"I've been busy lately and haven't had time to come see you." Xiao Yan looked at the listless parrot on the iron pole and asked, "Auntie, how are you these days?"

The Queen Mother said, "Counselor Xu will come to see me soon. I think I'm in good health."

Xiao Yan nodded silently and asked, "Why is the parrot so listless? Is it sick? Where's the other one?"

"The other one got sick and was sent to the vet." The Queen Mother stroked the parrot's head. "This one has become listless and refuses to eat because it hasn't seen the sick one for days."

"Is he ill?" Xiao Yan said, "I'll take him over later to have a look. If he's ill, he can't stay in the palace. I'll find someone better and send him over."

"No matter how good new things are, they can't compare to the love for old things." The Queen Mother stared at Xiao Yan.

"It's the same with people. If two people stay together and one of them leaves for a long time without paying attention, the one left behind will inevitably become confused and depressed, just like this parrot."

Xiao Yan understood what was going on. "Auntie is right. Ever since I met these two parrots, the boss has said that they have been companions since childhood. Their bond is stronger than gold. Their relationship is better than that of parrots that are temporarily caged together. They don't need to be trained. They are docile and well-behaved, get along well, and never fight."

"If two parrots without emotions were to meet temporarily, they would dislike each other, quarrel and fight, and perhaps end up with bloodshed and heartbreak."

The Queen Mother said, "The love of being together since childhood is truly rare. All things in the world, whether human or animal, except for blood relatives, are temporary gatherings. From acquaintance to understanding, and then to familiarity, can we finally become a couple. The transition between strangers and true love still requires a process."

"What you said is absolutely right, but it also depends on the situation," said Xiao Yan.

"Even if we're strangers, fate still matters. A glimpse of connection is enough to become friends. But whether we can go beyond friendship requires mutual understanding. If one person is interested and the other isn't, then the relationship can only remain as friendship. Don't cross that line rashly, or both will suffer. A forced melon is never ripe or sweet."

Seeing Xiao Yan's resolute expression, the Queen Mother sighed, "Ah Yan, you're already married. As your aunt, I shouldn't interfere in your affairs. But you have to understand that if a couple remains cold and distant for a long time, their future will be miserable. The Prince of Jin only has one daughter, so it's inevitable that she's spoiled. You're a man and a husband, so you should be more tolerant. Can't you just live a good life?"

"I shouldn't have caused my aunt so much trouble with my affairs," Xiao Yan said.

"I also know that Prince Jin only has one daughter, the Princess. It has nothing to do with her spoiled personality. It's my fault. I don't have any love for the Princess. Even if we get married, it won't work out. We'll just be strangers in the future. The Emperor's will can make me complete the formality, but it can't make me love someone willingly."

"You..." The Queen Mother frowned, "Why are you doing this?"
