don't fight the general

Yan Cheng didn't answer all the time, but his eyes slowly shifted from Zheng Jing's face to Cui Wei's, and finally landed on Yan Jing's face.Yan Jing didn't look up, but she could clearly feel the suspicion in that gaze.He knew why Yan Cheng didn't respond, because he was thinking about what Zheng Jing said just now, and he was also waiting, waiting for the Cui family's counterattack.

As for why not wait for Yan Jing - even if Yan Jing has the courage to join forces with the Cui family, it does not prevent him from being the one who is still irrelevant.

But Yan Jing didn't want to wait, he didn't know the purpose of Cui's family, if they let them speak first and dragged him into the water, then today would be too passive, and the peaceful life he was looking forward to with great difficulty might be ruined in one fell swoop .

So he slowly sat up straight, slightly raised his lips, and looked behind Zheng Jing: "Master Zheng is right, Mr. Zheng, some things should not be said indiscriminately. Just now you saw me and Lord Hou We talked a few words together, and said that what I got today was helped by Lord Hou, then I saw a large group of you hunting together for a long time, so is it because of your help that the second younger brother won the first prize today?"

After Yan Jing finished speaking, he saw that Young Master Zheng's face immediately changed. He was about to refute, but Zheng Jing stopped him with his eyes. Don't worry about it, let alone implicate the Second Highness and affect your brotherhood. Among other things, the level of the Second Highness's riding and archery has been witnessed by everyone present, and it cannot be questioned."

"Master Zheng, don't be impatient. I didn't say that I don't believe in the level of the second brother. I just thought that what your son said just now was extremely interesting. I followed his train of thought and guessed what I saw. It can't be true." Yan Jing tilted her head, raised the corner of her lips, and although she was smiling, there was a bit of obvious disdain, "As for what the second younger brother said just now, it is even more untrue for me to befriend Xuan Pinghou in the northwest. The Marquis of Xuanping is busy with military affairs, how can he have time to make friends with idlers like me? Besides, our Marquis is selfless and ruthless, I am a life-saving and cowardly person, it is better to stay away."

From the time Yan Jing opened his mouth just now, Cui Wei turned his eyes to his face, and he thought it was funny when he heard him easily refute the Zheng family's words, until he finished the last sentence, his face changed slightly, he opened his mouth, and for a while But I didn't know what to say, because the irony in Yan Jing's words was ready to come out, and everyone present could hear it, so how could he, the person involved, not perceive it?

Although the hunting in the daytime was requested by him on his own initiative, seeing Yan Jing's intentions at that time, he didn't particularly reject him. Afterwards, Yan Jing also accepted his own compensation. Cui Wei thought that the rift between the two should be eased a lot In the future, even if you don't take the initiative to make friends when you return to the northwest, you should be able to be a close neighbor in harmony.

Besides, when Yan Jing made a toast to himself inexplicably, there was a smile on his lips. No matter how slow he was, he could clearly distinguish the difference between that smile just now and the present one. He really didn't know why this sudden hostility arose.

As Yan Jing expected, after he said those words, there was an uproar immediately. After all, whether it was Yan Jing's tone just now or the deep meaning in his words, it could be heard that he didn't seem to be very interested in this Xuanpinghou. It was pleasing to the eye, and even Cui Qiao frowned.

Yan Jing achieved the effect she wanted, looked away as if it had nothing to do with her, picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a sip.

In fact, according to Yan Jing's original intention, although there was a rift between him and Cui Wei, he never thought of putting it in front of others, but the situation is very different now, and he can only change the way to deal with it.In fact, he was also a little curious, how would this Hou Ye who is so good at changing faces react in this situation?

Thinking of this, Yan Jing couldn't help turning his eyes to Cui Wei, and found that Hou Ye, who had never been expressionless before, was frowning at this moment, his palm-sized face was about to twitch into a ball, and his bright eyes were different from ordinary people's. His eyes were full of bewilderment and puzzlement, and Yan Jing even felt that she saw a little bit of grievance.

Yan Jing's heart was suddenly very complicated.Although today's incident violated his original intention, in any case, what he expounded was the truth. He really felt that he should stay away from this Xuan Pinghou, but he deliberately enlarged it to the audience in this situation. All of you are watching.

In fact, not everyone, but mainly my suspicious father.

Even if everyone in the court knew that he was at odds with Xuan Pinghou, and even offended the Cui family because of it, it would be better than arousing his father's suspicion.What's more, he and Cui's Liangzi have already formed a knot, so it doesn't matter whether they are untied or not.

But the expression of this young master made him feel guilty for no reason, as if he had done something to be sorry for him, but since he met this person, he was the one who suffered the most. Master Hou doesn't have to have such an expression, does he?

Yan Jing touched her chest, feeling a little more confident, but she still turned her head sideways, avoiding Cui Wei's sight.

"What does the emperor mean?" Seeing that Yan Cheng still had no intention of speaking, Yan Cong and Zheng Jing looked at each other and questioned, "Is there any misunderstanding between you and Lord Hou when you were in the northwest? Why don't you take advantage of the fact that both the emperor father and the empress mother are present today, so that you can get rid of it by saying it, after all, the emperor brother and Xuan Pinghou are always in the northwest, and a harmonious relationship between you can ensure that my great Wei and the northwest are safe!"

"Speaking of which, this matter is indeed Awei's fault." Empress Cui glanced at Yan Cong lightly, then turned her head and explained to Yan Cheng with a smile, "A few days ago, when King Rui first arrived in the northwest, Awei Inadvertently misidentified him, there was a misunderstanding between the two, and they started fighting. Your Majesty, you also know that Ah Wei has been practicing martial arts all year round, and he was careless in his moves, and accidentally injured King Rui."

Get started?

Yan Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, it sounded as if her martial arts were so strong that she could compete with Xuan Pinghou, but in fact—forget it, Yan Jing didn't really want to recall what happened that day.Anyway, he just wanted everyone to know that he had a quarrel with the Cui family. Empress Cui's opening at this moment was equivalent to confirming this point. As for the specific truth of the matter, it was not that important.

Besides, it sounds as if he wasn't that miserable that day, and it can be regarded as saving his face from another aspect.

While talking, Cui Qiao got up slowly, walked down from the main seat, and came to Yan Jing: "Actually, Ah Wei has been feeling guilty about what happened that day, and I intended to mediate from it. Help you to resolve the misunderstanding, but he insisted to solve it by himself, but judging from King Rui's mood today, it is obvious that it has not been resolved. I can only help you as a sister."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Cui Wei: "Ah Wei, why don't you come over?"

Cui Wei got up immediately, and came to Cui Qiao's side in a few steps. Cui Qiao took his hand and said slowly: "It just so happens that you are formally apologizing to King Rui today in front of His Majesty and all the adults. For my sake, King Rui, how about forgiving my ignorant brother?"

Yan Jing looked at Cui Qiao, lowered his eyes slightly, did not speak, turned his eyes to Cui Wei's face, waiting to see his movements.

It may be because of practicing martial arts all the year round, no matter what the occasion, Cui Wei stands there like a tall and straight tree, with his back straight.He glanced at Cui Qiao, bit his lower lip slightly, raised his hands, and gave a deep bow to Yan Jing: "That day in the desert, because Cui Wei was negligent for a while, he offended His Highness, and His Highness was injured, Cui Wei was deeply moved. I'm sorry, I'm here to make amends."

Yan Jing's eyes drooped, staring at the top of the boy's head and his bowed waist.If he remembered correctly, this was the third time the boy apologized to himself.

An inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart, and Yan Jing rubbed her fingers unconsciously.Looking up again, a slight smile appeared on his lips.Instead of reaching out to support Cui Wei's arm, he took a step back and smiled at Cui Qiao: "Since the mother has opened the mouth, it's no big deal." He deliberately raised his hand to touch it as he spoke. His left arm, "Anyway, the matter is over, and the wound has healed, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Okay!" Yan Cheng, who had been acting as a spectator, seemed to have finally seen enough of the show. He clapped his hands lightly, and slowly came to Cui Qiao's side, "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good to resolve it. Today is to celebrate the queen's birthday." , look at you, why is the tired queen bothering you?"

Yan Jing seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then bowed slightly: "This is my son's fault, and my son apologized to the queen mother."

Cui Qiao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to touch his lower abdomen, and said to Yan Cheng, "It's my concubine who can't be idle. After all, today is different. Since King Rui has entrusted Yunzhou, it is inevitable that he will have to fight with the northwest garrison from now on." There are some intersections. If there is a quarrel between him and Awei, they cannot be united. After a long time, it may create an opportunity for the enemy. Now that it is resolved, the ministers and concubines can rest assured."

Yan Cheng was very satisfied with his attitude, and nodded lightly: "What the queen said is very true." He turned his head to look at Yan Jing, "You must keep your mother's words in mind, and you must be diligent and conscientious in Yunzhou from now on. Only the garrison can work together to protect the northwest of our Great Wei."

Yan Jing lowered his eyes slightly, with no expression on his face, and even a bit of impatience that he tried his best to hide, but he still said: "I would like to follow the teachings of my father."

Yan Cheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Cui Wei who had been quiet on the other side, and suddenly laughed: "Actually speaking, Xuan Pinghou is not an outsider, he is not only your mother's younger brother, but also yours. Uncle, since you are a nephew, you need to get closer."

Yan Jing suddenly turned his head and glanced at Cui Wei. If the expression just now was acting, then it was showing his true feelings at this moment. He almost gnashed his teeth and looked back, lowered his head and said fiercely: "Yes, father."
