Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world
Chapter 12 Princess (11)
The next morning, fine and dense rain fell from the sky.
Jiang Huaixu walked around the rockery with an umbrella and stopped for a moment. Through the rain and fog, he saw the person who was sitting in the pavilion and had captured his heart.
Yan Qing should have noticed him, too, perhaps because of the mist. It was hard to see clearly, but when she looked up at him, she smiled and looked particularly gentle.
Jiang Huaixu tightened his grip on the umbrella slightly, calmed down, and walked towards her through the rain.
He walked over, closed his umbrella, and sat down casually opposite Yan Qing. An unknown incense was burning in a corner of the stone table. Wind happened to blow, and a few wisps of smoke drifted over, fresh and elegant.
His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just watched Yan Qing brew tea quietly. His jade-like fingertips rested on the teacup, and his movements were smooth and flowing, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Yan Qing pushed a cup of brewed tea in front of Jiang Huaixu, then raised her hand to pick up another cup of tea and took a sip, saying softly: "Brother Huaixu, please forgive me. I haven't recovered from my cold yet and can't drink. I can only ask Brother Huaixu to drink tea with me."
Different from the coldness and indifference at yesterday's banquet and the polite and distant words "Your Highness", this man seemed to come alive at this moment.
Hearing this name again, Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if he had returned to his youth, without the tit-for-tat of the past five years.
They have known each other since childhood and are childhood sweethearts.
General An was a good friend of his father when he was alive, and the King of Zhenbei was still his father at that time.
When the Prince of Zhenbei, who was stationed at the border at that time, heard that the only remaining bloodline of his good friend was fostered in the Queen's palace after his death, he sent a message to Madam Jiang who stayed in the capital to look after him.
Perhaps she felt that people of the same age could play together better, so every time Mrs. Jiang entered the palace, she would bring her youngest son, who was left in the capital as a hostage. They met during that time.
When Jiang Huaixu saw Yan Qing for the first time, she was a small, soft, white ball with motionless black eyes. She just stared at him quietly and did not react no matter how he poked her, like a beautiful porcelain doll.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but when he saw Pei Zhuo, his whole body came alive, his eyes lit up, and he called Pei Zhuo "Brother" sweetly and softly.
This made Jiang Huaixu start to compete with her. Whenever he had time, he would poke this little girl and wanted her to call him brother.
As time went by, the little boy gradually grew up, from quietly ignoring him to calling him Brother Huaixu.
He remembered this call of brother for many years...
"No problem. Drinking once in a while is fun."
Retracting his thoughts, Jiang Huaixu picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. It was slightly bitter at first, but the aftertaste was somewhat sweet: "Aqing's craftsmanship is even better than before."
Yan Qing smiled and said, "This is the new Tianshan Yuncui from this year. I still have some in my house. If Brother Huaixu likes it, you can take it."
Jiang Huaixu drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and put the cup on the table: "No need, I'm used to Mobei's strong liquor, so I won't waste Aqing's good tea."
Yan Qing was silent for a while, then refilled the teacup and said, "After this great victory, Brother Huaixu should stay in the capital permanently. I'm afraid it will be hard to find Mobei wine anymore."
Jiang Huaixu looked at Yan Qing deeply, but that person still had a faint smile on his face, as if what he said did not have any deep meaning.
After a moment, he also smiled, and said in a low voice: "Ah Qing, don't you want me to stay in the capital?"
After he finished speaking, his ink-black eyes stared at the reaction of the person in front of him without blinking.
Yan Qing's smile did not fade at all, and he just replied: "How could that be? It's just that there are many rules in the capital, not as free as in Mobei. I'm afraid that Brother Huaixu is not used to it."
Hearing this, Jiang Huaixu suddenly remembered that Aqing had been trapped in the capital since childhood and had never seen the scenery outside the Great Wall. He couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
"Have you been doing well in the capital these years? Has anyone given you any trouble?"
As soon as he said this, he sneered. With Aqing's current status, who could make things difficult for her? What's more, the An family army was standing behind Aqing. Moreover, Aqing was smart, so even if someone made things difficult for her, she could easily resolve the situation.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qing looked at him steadily and asked, "What if someone embarrasses me?"
The serious look in her face when she asked the question was similar to a moment in her childhood. Jiang Huaixu twisted his fingertips to suppress the urge to rub her hair, so he didn't notice the difference in Yan Qing's tone.
"Who made us, Ah Qing, unhappy?" His facial expression did not change when he said this, but his eyes were slightly dark, as if if Yan Qing mentioned someone's name, she would cut the person who made things difficult for her into pieces.
Yan Qing's long eyelashes half-drooped, casting a shadow in her eyes, making it impossible to discern the emotions within: "I thought Brother Huaixu knew."
Having said that, Jiang Huaixu was no fool and would not fail to realize that the person Yan Qing was talking about was him.
His heart sank bit by bit, the question just now seemed to mock how stupid he was for being soft-hearted.
"What does Aqing want me to do?" They had a friendship since their youth, and even though these years had been unhappy, he didn't believe that Yan Qing was really so heartless.
She smiled gently, still as gentle as ever: "The wars in various places have ended. Since Brother Huaixu has returned to the capital, the handover of the army should be put on the agenda."
Jiang Huaixu curled his lips: "Has Aqing ever considered my situation?"
Yan Qing wiped away the foam on the tea in the cup and said with a smile: "I watched Shi Yu grow up. He is like my brother. He will be a wise ruler and will not embarrass Brother Huai Xu too much."
Thinking of that wolf cub, Jiang Huaixu snorted and laughed: "I don't believe him."
Emperor Chongming is suspicious and incompetent, Pei Zhuo is a smiling man with a dagger hidden behind his smile. Although the little emperor was raised by Yan Qing, one can tell from the two faces he shows in front of and behind Yan Qing that he is not someone who is easy to get along with.
At first, Pei Zhuo pretended to be a gentle gentleman to approach Aqing, and now Pei Shiyu is deceiving her with his innocent appearance.
By this calculation, he is indeed the same as Pei Zhuo, equally hypocritical.
The royal family, power is supreme, so why should he trust that little wolf cub? Moreover, if what he found out before returning to Beijing was true...
Then he and the royal family will never stop fighting...
Yan Qing took off the jade pendant tied around his waist and placed it on the table: "The person who gave me this jade pendant promised to agree to one of my requests. Brother Huaixu, I don't know if this promise still counts."
That was a gift he gave her when he left the capital for the border when he was young.
Jiang Huaixu closed his eyes, his anger building up bit by bit. He didn't expect Yan Qing to take out this jade pendant.
After a long silence, he finally pushed the jade pendant back and said, "Except for this matter, I can promise you everything else."
"Ah Qing, don't push me. You know I have no way out."
The one who is more accomplished than his master will become more powerful than the master.
Even if he could agree, his subordinates who had accompanied him through thick and thin would not agree.
Yan Qing sighed softly: "In this case, there is nothing more to say between me and Brother Huai Xu. We are not on the same page."
"If we have different ideals, how can we work together?" Jiang Huaixu repeated word by word.
"Ah Qing, you have no blood relationship with the royal family. We should be from the same family."
Yan Qing's smile faded: "My royal brother chose Shi Yu, so Shi Yu and I are on the same side."
He laughed out of anger, his accumulated anger bursting out: "Pei Zhuo has been dead for so many years. I'm curious about what kind of magic potion he gave you to make you so devoted to the royal family."
"presumptuous!"
The smile on Yan Qing's face disappeared, as if covered with a layer of fine snow, "How can you have any say in what happens to my brother?"
Jiang Huaixu said with a sinister look in his eyes: "Do you think he is a good person? Do you know that back then..."
Yan Qing stood up and interrupted him: "I am tired, Your Majesty, please go back."
"An Yanqing!"
"Floating Cloud, see you off."
Fu Yun, who was hiding in the dark, appeared and stood between Jiang Huaixu and Yan Qing. He gestured to the outside and said, "Your Majesty, please come in."
Jiang Huaixu took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He was impulsive.
It was not like he was unaware of Pei Zhuo's influence on A Qing. Whenever this man was mentioned, it was always difficult for them to remain calm.
In the end, Jiang Huaixu just said slowly: "Aqing, think about it carefully."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
