don't fight the general

Yan Jing walked all the way towards the Palace of Yongning, and couldn't help but look down at his left wrist all the way. He really couldn't understand why he was so unlucky?He opened and closed the sleeves, and tossed back and forth twice, but he still couldn't help but swear in his heart, what kind of monster is that Xuan Pinghou? Finger marks?

Is it amazing to practice martial arts since childhood?Can the prince be ignored because of his high martial arts skills?He looks obedient and docile, and if he raises his hand casually, someone will be unlucky. If he can't beat him, how can he be so arrogant?

Thinking of this, Yan Jing couldn't help but touched his chest again, and looked back. He had already walked so far, and the place where his chest was hit just now was still painful, and he didn't know where Xuan Pinghou's head was. What to do, Yan Jing has every reason to believe that now that she took off her clothes to see, there must be a large bruise on her chest.

But even if this was the case, it wouldn't have a big impact. After all, even if Cui Wei knocked his chest out, he wouldn't be able to see it through his clothes. The real trouble was his wrist.Yan Jing lifted his cuffs and glanced again, the finger marks were still very obvious, at least it was impossible for him to dissipate when he walked to Yongning Hall.

Although he hadn't experienced such hardship since he was a child, he wasn't so arrogant that he couldn't bear it to such a degree. It's just that he was going to Yongning Palace at this time, and Yan Jing could imagine his mother's death when he closed his eyes. How the concubine would make a fuss.

Yan Jing rubbed her face helplessly, and after sighing, she reached out and put down her wide sleeves, straightened her waist, and continued to walk towards Yongning Hall.

Before leaving the palace at the age of 15, Yan Jing lived with his mother and concubine in Yongning Palace. Compared with the somewhat unfamiliar Ruiwang Mansion in Yunzhou City, Yongning Palace is more like Yan Jing's home. A person who has always cared about him, although this concern is sometimes a bit heavy for Yan Jing.

"Your Highness." The servant guarding the door of the palace saw Yan Jing very happy, stretched out his hand to open the door for him, and said, "Our lady knows that His Highness should get up early in the morning and wait. Seeing His Highness must Very happy."

Yan Jing responded, her eyes flicked across the servant's face, and she strode into the hall without stopping. Before she had taken a few steps, she heard a rush of footsteps, followed by a somewhat anxious but very gentle female voice from A voice came from the inner hall: "My Jing'er, you are finally back!"

Yan Jing frowned slightly, and immediately stopped in his tracks. The next moment, a thin figure crashed into his arms: "Let mother and concubine see if she has lost weight?"

Yan Jing stretched out her hand to support the other person's shoulder, watched her stand firmly before letting go, and bowed down to salute: "Mother Concubine."

Compared with Yan Jing's indifferent face, Wei Shufei can be said to be very excited. She held Yan Jing's arm, her eyes were almost fixed on his face, and her eyes slowly turned red: "I just went to two You lost a lot of weight in a month, and I said that Yunzhou is remote and desolate, but you are in a hurry to go, what will you do in the future?"

What can be done?Yan Jing chuckled in his heart, he had been looking forward to it for almost ten years until today, it's rare that his father finally remembered that he still had such a son, and left such a place for him, why should he make an inch of it, crying and shouting? Tell his father that this place in Yunzhou is not good, let him change it for himself?He is not Yan Cong, he doesn't have that much face in front of his father.

Besides, if he selectively forgets what happened that day, he thinks Yunzhou is pretty good, at least, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

But there is no way to talk to his mother and concubine about these things, why doesn't she know the situation of her mother and son, she just doesn't want to be reconciled.Even if his father gave him a favor and exchanged him for a more affluent fief, would she be satisfied?

Perhaps because of her background, even though she is now the fourth concubine in the harem with a high status, his concubine mother is actually extremely inferior and sensitive, especially when it comes to other people's attitudes towards Yan Jing.Even though she knew it was impossible, she still felt that her son deserved the best thing in the world.For a prince, the best thing is probably the crown prince who has been hanging for many years.So from the very beginning, she extremely didn't want Yan Jing to accept that fiefdom and go to a remote place to be a feudal lord that no one cares about.After all, leaving the capital meant completely missing the position of the prince.

However, Yan Jing sneered in his heart, when did he have a relationship with that prince?

But there are some things that don't need to be taken too seriously, especially with one's own mother.So Yan Jing just replied indifferently: "Yunzhou is very good, I also brought you some special products of Yunzhou, and let them bring them in together."

Concubine Wei Shu just shook her head, pulled Yan Jing towards the inner hall, and asked, "Where is Yinping? I asked him to take care of you personally, why isn't he here?"

"The mansion in Yunzhou is newly built, and there are a lot of things that haven't been dealt with, so Yinping left to take care of it." As they spoke, the two entered the inner hall, and a strong smell of incense immediately filled the air. Between sniffs, Yan Jing couldn't help sniffling.

Although more than two months have passed, nothing in the imperial city has really changed. His mother and concubine still like to use all kinds of weird incense, and always feel that this can leave a deep impression on his father. impression, but in fact, his father has not been to Yongning Palace for a long time.

Yan Jing sat down on the chair, took the teacup from the maid, lifted the lid and gently blew the tea foam on it. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of his mother and concubine sitting down opposite, and said to herself: "One , two, three..."

As expected, his mother and concubine asked: "I just saw that you were late, so I sent someone to inquire. They said that you went to Zhaoyang Palace first after you came out of Yongshou Palace?"

"Well," Yan Jing responded casually. He raised the teacup in his hand and took a sip before continuing, "Father called me back to the capital this time for the Queen's birthday. It makes sense to go and say hello to her first."

Speaking of Empress Cui, Concubine Wei Shu rolled her eyes unabashedly: "I have been in the palace for ten years, and finally my stomach has moved a little, and my tail is almost up to the sky. It's only a birthday, and it's worth mobilizing so many people. You have only been in Yunzhou for a few days. Today, I haven't settled down completely yet, and I will call you back all the way."

Yan Jing drank half a cup of tea and felt much more relaxed. She put the teacup on the table and looked up at Concubine Wei Shu: "I thought that Concubine Mother would like me to come back."

"Of course I want you to come back, and I wish you would never have to go to that poor place again." Concubine Wei Shu said angrily, "But why come back for that woman? It's just that I'm pregnant with a dragon heir, whether it's a boy or a girl isn't certain, Do you really think that if you are a queen, you will be born a prince?"

In the past 20 years, Yan Jing has heard this kind of words countless times. In the early years, she complained about the Zheng family who was also a noble concubine. After Empress Cui entered the palace, most of her attention was turned to her. Of course, Concubine Zheng Gui still has a sense of presence, but her sense of presence is often reflected in her son who is talented and well-behaved.

In fact, the life of a woman in the harem is extremely boring. With so many people sharing one person's favor, it is inevitable that they will become self-pitying after a long time.Sometimes when Yan Jing listens to his mother and concubine's chatter, she can't help wondering whether Zheng Guifei is also telling Yan Cong what is wrong with their mother and child. Thinking this way, his heart will be much more balanced. The ever-changing complaints also sound a little more interesting.

However, it is obvious that since Empress Cui became pregnant with the dragon heir, his mother and concubine left Zheng Guifei's mother and son behind, and all the blame was completely directed at Empress Cui alone.You don't need to think about the reason. After all, no matter how powerful Concubine Zheng's mother's family is, no matter how good Yan Cong is, he is also a concubine like Yan Jing, but the one in Empress Cui's stomach is a real concubine, a threat to the throne. Much older than Yan Cong, his mother and concubine would of course be indignant.

Yan Jing listened sideways to his concubine mother's words, her hands were empty and bored, so she picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips. Just as she was about to take it, she heard her concubine mother say: "I also heard that this time She also specially recalled her half-brother back to the capital, which shows her intentions."

The movements of Yan Jing's hands paused, and she raised her head to look at Concubine Wei Shu: "What's the matter?"

"Why don't you ask your natal family to come back to support you, and also put pressure on the sage by the way." Concubine Wei Shu disdainfully said, "Her younger brother is very powerful now, he was appointed Marquis at a young age, and he is in charge of tens of thousands of Northwest garrison troops. Who doesn't take a high look, the Holy One has to rely on him to ensure the peace of the northwest."

In Yan Jing's mind, a pair of extremely bright eyes seemed to be shining like water, but his right hand covered his left wrist, and finally he snorted softly: "It's quite amazing."

Concubine Wei Shu complained to Yan Jing about these things in the palace for years, but he mostly listened quietly and rarely expressed his opinion. Concubine Wei Shu was used to her son doing this and didn't care, but this was the first time she got a response, she was surprised Glancing at Yan Jing, he continued: "Your Majesty celebrated her birthday with such a great fanfare this time that even a vassal king like you who has already been enfeoffed has been called back specially, maybe it is to establish prestige for her and the one in her belly. If she lives up to her expectations and really gives birth to a dragon son, maybe the crown prince really belongs to them."

The ripples on Yan Jing's face had completely dissipated, he fed the teacup to his lips, took a sip, then raised his head, with a slight smile on his lips, and said slowly: "Concubine Mu, I came back after traveling through mountains and rivers. , I entered the palace early in the morning to greet each other one by one, and I am still hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Concubine Wei Shu's thoughts were immediately interrupted, she turned her head to look at the maid behind her: "Don't go soon?" Then she looked back at Yan Jing: "The food has been prepared long ago, and I'm waiting for you to come. Take off your outer robe first." Let them wait for you to wash your hands."

Yan Jing squeezed her left wrist, and calmly said: "It's a bit cold today, it's easy to catch cold if you take off your coat, so be it."
