don't fight the general

Chapter 20

Although there was a little episode in the middle, everything is still under Yan Jing's control.Yan Cheng didn't know if he really believed what he and Empress Cui said, or if he still had doubts in his heart and didn't show it. After educating him and Cui Wei a few words as an elder, he dismissed the matter, and then Nor is it mentioned.

And I don't know whether it was intentional or not, he didn't even mention the reward for Yan Cong, and directly announced the opening of the banquet.Yan Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still no expression on his face. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yan Cong whose face was gloomy, and almost raised the corners of his lips again.

Compared with Yan Cong, Zheng Jing was obviously much more sophisticated, not only did he not show the slightest sign on his face, he even picked up his wine glass and toasted Yan Cheng with a smile.Yan Jing also knew in his heart that Zheng Jingben would not naively think that he could cause any substantial harm to the Cui family with just those few words. A little seed of doubt will do.

One day in the future, it might be possible to dig it out and use it—however, what does that have to do with Yan Jing? As long as nothing happens today, he will set off to return to Yunzhou early tomorrow morning. Even if these people inside are fighting to the death, what's in the way of him?

Yan Jing lowered her eyes slightly, refilled herself with wine, and drank leisurely.

The next occasion has nothing to do with him, and finally fulfilled his wish to stay alone in the corner, drink and eat meat quietly, and also observe the civil and military officials, as well as his elusive father.

Yan Cheng has been in a good mood today, even though those things happened just now, it didn't seem to affect his mood.It was rare for Yan Jing to see him with a smile on his lips like today, let alone his tender eyes when he looked at Empress Cui.

At least, his mother and concubine never got it.

In Yan Jing's childhood memories, his father was always unattainable.This was the case when treating their mother and son, and it was not too different when treating Concubine Zheng's mother and son.At that time, Yan Jing thought that it might be because his father was the emperor, and he couldn't get as close as ordinary people in the folk.

It wasn't until Empress Cui entered the palace that Yan Jing realized belatedly that it turned out to be different.When his father faced Empress Cui, he seemed to have more respect. Many times when they stood together, they were like an ordinary couple, who would hold hands, support each other, and smile at each other.

And every time like this, the mother and concubine could only stay alone in the Yongning Palace, counting the days and looking forward to the day when his father would come.

At that time, Yan Jing only felt that it was the mother and concubine's affectionate mispayment. The reason for this difference was that his father had Empress Cui in his heart. Although he was cruel, he was helpless.But then Yan Jing grew up slowly, and the first thing she understood was the ruthless emperor's family.

Whether his father respects Empress Cui or has her in his heart, he seems to be unique, but suspicion and precaution are still unavoidable.It is actually a very naive thing to long for sincere and unreserved love in Tianjia.

He looked at Empress Cui and he understood this truth very well. Over the years, he seemed to have cultivated a mentality of not being surprised or humiliated. If his father gave it, she would accept it with a smile, and if he didn't give it, she didn't seem to care.Unlike his mother and concubine, after so many years, although there have been countless disappointments, she is still full of expectations for his father, always hoping to get more.

Maybe it's because in her heart, the father is the king, the master of the world, and even her husband.

In fact, Yan Jing couldn't figure out whether it was good or bad to have her heart tied to another person like his mother and concubine.But it's actually not that important, because no one stipulates how a person's life should be spent.Everyone will have their own choice, so let her spend it according to her own ideas, even if he is a son, he shouldn't interfere.

Of course, he didn't have the ability to interfere, but he wanted to take his mother and concubine to Yunzhou, how could he do that.

Yan Jing drank the wine all night alone, and watched the excitement all night, and finally couldn't help yawning because of sleepiness. Fortunately, no one noticed him on this occasion, and finally got Yan Jing Cheng felt tired and announced the end of the banquet.Yan Jing followed the crowd to get up and salute, and sent the emperor and empress to leave the stage first, and later realized that she probably drank too much wine today, and she felt faintly dizzy.

But it's harmless, at least he can make the people around him not see the slightest difference.

Yan Jing stood there for a while, looked up at the stars all over the sky, waited for the crowd to disperse slowly, and then staggered towards her tent.

The originally noisy camp gradually quieted down. Candles were lit up one after another in the curtains all around, occasionally reflecting the reflection of the owner.Yan Jing walked through it, unexpectedly feeling a little bit of quietness and tranquility.

After walking for a while, Yan Jing saw his curtains. After all, he was a prince, and it wasn't too far away.The night wind blew on her body, and Yan Jing felt the coolness of the mountains belatedly, and couldn't help stepping up her pace to take a few steps, but she didn't expect to bump into a figure head-on.

The familiar position and similar pain made Yan Jing feel a little unbelievable. He rubbed his chest, took a step back, and saw the face of the instigator—it really was Xuanping Hou Cuiwei.

For a moment, Yan Jing just felt dumbfounded. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him. He clenched his fingers tightly and then slowly let them go. Finally, he chuckled softly: "Master Hou is really lingering. You can't get away at this time. I can meet you."

Cui Wei let go of the hand rubbing his forehead, slowly raised his head, tilted his head to look at Yan Jing for a while, then suddenly shook his head vigorously, narrowing his big eyes slightly, staring at Yan Jing motionlessly.

Yan Jing frowned slightly, although Cui Wei usually didn't seem to talk much, but he always felt that this person seemed a little different at the moment.

Borrowing the candlelight from the surrounding tents, Yan Jing moved forward, only to find that the person in front of him had scary red eyes, or not just his eyes, but his whole face was abnormally red.Yan Jing hesitated a little, but still stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Cui Wei: "Could it be that Master Hou is drunk?"

After finishing speaking, he had some doubts in his heart again. At night, Yan Jing also noticed Xuan Pinghou by chance. On that occasion, this person was somewhat similar to himself and independent, except that everyone respected the Holy One together. In those few times with the empress, I never saw him clink wine glasses again, and he didn't seem to see anything unusual when he left the venue. How could he be so drunk in just a short while?

Just as Yan Jing was thinking about it, the outstretched palm was suddenly grabbed. The boy's strength was still astonishing. It only took a moment for Yan Jing to feel the pain. He subconsciously withdrew his hand and quickly stepped back. Taking a step forward, he looked at Cui Wei with a defensive attitude: "What is Hou Ye going to do?"

Cui Wei still didn't answer, he looked down at his suddenly empty hand, then raised his head to look at Yan Jing's face, even in the night, his eyes were brighter than ordinary people, probably because he had drunk Because of the wine, it seems that there is still water in it, as if tears will flow out in the next moment.

And the owner of these eyes, even if he has an extremely fierce and cold side, is just a 17-year-old boy at the moment, pure, innocent, dazed, and even a bit pitiful.Let the ruthless Yan Jing suddenly realize for a moment, is he a little too indifferent?

Just when he was hesitating whether he should be a good person today and send this obviously abnormal Xuan Pinghou back to his tent, Cui Wei suddenly stepped forward, and before Yan Jing recovered, he stood on tiptoe and slapped his forehead heavily. At that moment, Yan Jing only felt that the sky was spinning, and his eyes were blackened. He stepped back a few steps before barely standing still. When the dizziness on the forehead dissipated, he finally regained consciousness. , looked up again, and found that Cui Wei had turned around and staggered away.

Yan Jing clutched her forehead in disbelief, staring at Cui Wei's back.Although the dizziness has gradually dissipated, the pain that followed made him wish to catch up with Cui Wei immediately, but... After several fights, Yan Jing knew it well, even if that person looked at him now Get up drunk, and you are not your opponent.

Besides, now is really not a good time.If there was a noise that alarmed the two people in the main tent, then the play he had worked so hard to perform before would be in vain.Yan Jing looked around, finally turned around, and entered her curtain without looking back.

The charcoal basin was prepared in advance in the curtain, and when the curtain was opened, he could feel the warmth in it. Yan Jing couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down next to the charcoal basin.There is still a dull pain in the forehead, and Yan Jing knows what the effect will be without looking in the mirror.He had to say that that Marquis of Xuan Ping was probably here to restrain himself, he couldn't beat him, he couldn't even say it, even if he was drunk, he still had a way to cause a little harm to himself.

Originally, Yan Jing still thought that when he returned to the northwest, he would try his best to get some back from this person, but after today, he completely dismissed this idea.

He knew that although Yan Cheng didn't reveal anything today, he didn't seem to believe his relationship with the Cui family, but... he still needs to pay more attention from now on, so as not to arouse his suspicion again.Besides, even if there is no today's incident, he shouldn't have any contact with the Cui family. He should stay in Yunzhou City with peace of mind and be his good-for-nothing prince.

Maybe it was because of the night wind, the drunkenness gradually rose, Yan Jing felt sleepy again, he yawned, opened the curtain door and looked out.

All the hustle and bustle has been completely over, and tomorrow he can finally get rid of it all.
