don't fight the general

From Cui Wei's opening just now, Yan Jing was on high alert, squinting his eyes and staring at the boy in front of him expressionlessly.He looked quite calm on the surface, but actually his heart was full of confusion, because he really couldn't figure out what this person wanted to do.

Following Cui Wei's concerned eyes, Yan Jing glanced at her left arm, immediately let go of her hand, and put her right arm behind her back.Taking advantage of his height, he regained a bit of momentum in front of Cui Wei, and said coldly: "What if it doesn't heal, so what if it heals? It's better not to bother you, Young Master. After all, you have complicated affairs, so don't be in this kind of situation." Worry about the little things."

After saying that, Yan Jing flicked his sleeves, put his left arm behind his back, turned around and continued walking along the original road.

Today's trip to the palace is really frustrating. It's okay to be forced to come to pay respects to the queen. I didn't expect to meet Xuan Pinghou in front of me again. Yan Jing no longer wants to know what this man is beating. It's a ghost idea—in short, it's not that he wants to apologize sincerely, after all, even if he returns to the capital, his status as King Rui is not worth wooing and currying favor with.

He had just caught a glimpse of Cui Wei's slightly flushed face, and he somewhat felt that this martial arts practitioner was really moody. Who knows if he is speaking well now, will this person suddenly strike at the next moment, and he can't beat others by himself? I don't want to fight this person for the sake of face knowing that I will suffer a loss.

Therefore, for Yan Jing right now, regardless of his messy reasons and goals, he just wants to avoid this Xuanping Hou, at least during the time in the capital, and try not to meet him again as much as possible.

As for returning to the northwest, he had to think carefully about how to settle these old accounts.

Yan Jing made a good idea, whoever wanted to walk a few steps, but one hand firmly held his wrist, Yan Jing turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw Cui Wei's seemingly harmless Face.Yan Jing's eyelids trembled, and the other hand patted it vigorously, with impatience written all over his face: "Why, is Marquis Xuan Ping reluctant to part with this king?"

The two hands collided together and made a crisp sound, which made Cui Wei take two steps back in shock. He raised his head, saw Yan Jing's face in his eyes, and knew in his heart that he would not be able to make amends today, and he might offend this person even more. Even, I was quite annoyed in my heart, but I still decided to continue what I had just done.

He stood up straight, raised his arms and bowed deeply to Yan Jing, then took out something from his arms, and presented it to Yan Jing with both hands: "This is a wound medicine commonly used in our army, and it is most effective for skin and flesh injuries. Holding His Highness, just to offer this thing."

Yan Jing stared at the small medicine bottle, his face changed after a while. He had a hunch that if he didn't take the medicine for the wound today, the Marquis of Xuanping would not let him go easily, so he stretched out his hand and took the medicine The bottle took it, played it casually in the palm of his hand a few times, raised his eyes to Cui Wei who was obviously relieved, and slightly raised his eyebrows: "Master Hou, I actually have a question in my heart."

"Huh?" Cui Wei raised his head, eyes full of confusion, "Speak, Your Highness."

"Does our empress know how her little brother, who is usually innocent and obedient, is brutal, cold-faced, ruthless, and even domineering when he arrives in the northwest?"

"I... sister, she..."

"Forget it," Yan Jing interrupted Cui Wei's words abruptly, showing a slight smile, "It's just a random question. Actually, I don't care if the queen empress knows." He threw the small medicine bottle high and then He caught it again, "Can I leave now? My mother and concubine are still waiting in the palace."

Cui Wei took a step back and lowered his head slightly: "Then don't bother Your Highness."

Yan Jing snorted softly, clenched the medicine bottle tightly, and walked forward without looking back.

Cui Wei stood there for a while, watching Yan Jing disappear from his vision, and then turned back to Zhaoyang Palace.

Cui Qiao likes to be quiet, and there are not many people serving her on weekdays, even if she is pregnant now, there are only one or two personal maids who are always by her side.When Cui Wei returned to the hall, Cui Qiao had sent everyone away and was reclining on the soft couch reading a book.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and glanced: "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Cui Wei sat down on the ground beside the soft couch, hugging his knees, a little dejected.

He originally wanted to make a solemn apology to Yan Jing by sending him out, ask if the other party recovered from his injury, and then see if he could do some remedies.But he didn't know whether it was because of himself or that King Rui, the direction of the matter completely deviated from his expectation.Even though that King Rui just took the medicine bottle, Cui Wei could feel that the other party didn't really buy into his apology.

He is really not very good at these things. He has grown up to more than 17 years today, and he doesn't have much time to deal with people.When he was young, he was obsessed with martial arts, and he was out of tune with those arrogant and indulgent princes in the capital. He only had Fu Yue, who was also from a family of generals, as his playmate.

Later, when they were older, the two went to the army together.Although there are many people in the army, most of the martial arts practitioners are straightforward and casual. When encountering a situation where they have to communicate, Fu Yue also stepped forward on their behalf.

So if it wasn't someone who knew him well, who would believe that although Xuan Pinghou, who was powerful in the northwest, was majestic on the battlefield, he was just a simple, introverted and unfriendly boy off the battlefield?

Cui Qiao was naturally aware of Cui Wei's emotional changes. She closed the book in her hand and put it aside, stretched out her hand to rub Cui Wei's hair, and smiled softly: "At least he is also the person in command of the Northwest Garrison. Why did you come to me? A look of being wronged?"

Cui Wei raised his head, his eyes were round and bright: "Who dares to bully me with sister here?" He remembered Yan Jing's expression just now, tilted his head and put his face on the couch, "I bullied others, and I don't know how to fix it."

Cui Qiao paused for a while, and then said nonchalantly: "I just wanted to ask, did you meet King Rui before?" When she said this, she suddenly said, "I forgot, King Rui's fief is in Yunzhou. Some contact is inevitable. So is there any misunderstanding with King Rui?"

"There was some misunderstanding. In the final analysis, I was careless and negligent and offended King Rui." Cui Wei raised his hand and rubbed his ears, angrily said: "I sent him out just now to make amends."

"Then what? Backfired?" Cui Qiao tapped his forehead lightly, with imperceptible pampering in his tone.After she smiled lightly, her expression returned to calm, she tapped the bed a few times with her knuckles, and said in thought, "King Rui...I didn't have much contact with this person in the past, even if it was a family banquet that everyone was going to attend Above all, he is also the one who doesn't exist the most, I really don't know what kind of heart he is usually." Speaking of this, she chuckled, "But no matter how difficult it is to get along with, it should be better than the other one. "

Hearing this, Cui Wei couldn't help but sat up straight and looked towards Cui Qiao, he knew who the other person Cui Qiao was talking about.

Emperor Yongchu has been on the throne for many years, and there are countless beauties in the harem, but there are only two sons and three daughters. The eldest son of the emperor, Yan Jing and his concubine, came from a humble background.The second son, Yan Cong, was quite different. His mother, Concubine Zheng Guifei, was born in a family and was the younger sister of the former empress. Although Yan Cong himself was young, he was outstanding in both talent and conduct. Emperor Yongchu loved this youngest son very much. He was always praised in the court, and he was often brought with him, making all the officials in the court think that if there were no changes, Yan Cong should be the future heir to the throne.

But now a change has occurred—the queen of the middle palace who has been childless for many years suddenly becomes pregnant with a dragon heir. Even if she is as slow as Cui Wei, she can predict what kind of turmoil there will be in the court and the harem.

His eldest sister has been in the harem for many years, and she seems to have enjoyed all the favors, which is enviable.But the heights are extremely cold, how can it be so easy to sit securely in this position?

After Cui Qiao finished speaking, he couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his abdomen, and then raised his eyes to find that Cui Wei was staring at a place with a solemn expression. He couldn't help but shook his head and patted his arm lightly: "Ah Wei, are you still thinking about King Rui?"

"Huh? No, although it doesn't look easy to solve, since it's my fault, I won't run away." Cui Wei raised his head, smiled at Cui Qiao, and couldn't help looking at Cui Qiao's belly. , "I just suddenly thought, Sister, is it difficult for you to be alone in the palace all these years?"

Cui Qiao didn't expect Cui Wei to talk about this suddenly, after a short moment of astonishment, she shook her head lightly, a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Ah Wei, in life, no matter what you do, there will always be things that don't go your way. Sometimes, even if this matter is your unswerving choice at the beginning, there will always be its difficulties, but it does not mean that your choice that day was wrong. You think that sister has to face those secrets in the palace alone. Fighting, sister, why doesn't my heart feel sorry for you who are going to carry the banner of the Northwest Garrison at such a young age?"

When she said this, she paused slightly, but her gaze became much firmer: "It's just that when did members of our Cui family do something we didn't have the confidence to do? Since I dared to sit in this position that day, I can sit securely, isn't it, Awei? Don't you believe my sister?"

"I naturally believe in Sister." Cui Wei nodded earnestly, his thoughts turned, and he said, "Sister, if this child is a boy, he will be the only legitimate son. Will His Majesty..."

"Your Majesty?" Cui Qiao smiled softly, "Who can understand His Majesty's thoughts? He favors me and obeys me, so why doesn't he guard against me? The crown prince has been suspended for so many years, how can he get it so easily?" Where is it?" She lowered her head slightly, looked at her abdomen, and said in a low voice, "As for that position, if it doesn't belong to this child, we will never touch it, but if it should belong to him, we will never touch it." Give in. His own life, after he is born, he still has to choose by himself."

Cui Wei raised his hand and touched his chin, then nodded with determination: "Sister, don't worry, no matter if the child is a boy or a girl, is the lord of the world, or takes a fief like King Rui, I will take good care of it." He, with me here, will definitely let him grow up in peace."
