don't fight the general

Following Cui Wei all the way into the garrison camp, Yan Jing's thoughts were still drifting along the conversation just now.Cui Wei probably didn't expect that his well-behaved answer just now would cause Yan Jing to think deeply.

Yan Jing was thinking of Cui Wei's phrase "you will be happy only when you are with the person you like". He recalled all the people he met in the past 20 years, but he couldn't think of who would make him happy when he was with him.Even his mother concubine—he knew very well in his heart that she was the only one in this world who cared about him sincerely, but after being together for a long time, it would only make him feel irritable and depressed.

It is said that Yan Jing has already reached the age of marrying a wife, and no matter how bad it is, he should buy one or two concubines first, but Yan Jing's mother and concubine may care too much about his marriage, and always want to find a family regardless of family background. I am one of the best marriages, as if this is the only way to be worthy of the dignity of the eldest son of the emperor.

In fact, no matter what, Yan Jing is still a prince, so it doesn't mean that no one wants to marry him, but when he heard his mother and concubine's request, they retreated one after another.After all, Yan Jing's reputation in the court is there. If a girl is both talented and beautiful, but also comes from a wealthy family, and has the support of her mother's family behind her, why should she be wronged to marry the worthless King Rui?

So although his mother and concubine have always been concerned about this matter, after several years, they still haven't been able to pick one who suits their own wishes. Emperor Yongchu has always been indifferent to this eldest son, and he has never even mentioned it on his own initiative. He would not take the initiative to talk about this matter, so that Yan Jing's marriage has been put on hold.

In the past few years, although Yan Jing has not been active on this matter, he has no other attitude. He is only occasionally forced to listen to a few words when his mother and concubine are nagging. He never thought about this matter carefully, and he never even had a rough idea of ​​the person he might spend the rest of his life with.

It was only after hearing Cui Wei's unintentional words just now that Yan Jing thought belatedly, if a person still needs someone to spend together in this life, but as a declared waste, what kind of person will he meet in the end? What kind of person?

Do you feel happy because of yourself, and make people like yourself happy for it?

"Your Highness," just as Yan Jing was thinking, the two had already walked to the front of the camp. Cui Wei turned his head and found that Yan Jing's eyes were wandering and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help asking, "But what are you worried about?" Looking back at his tent, he bit his lower lip, "Compared to the palace, the conditions in the army may indeed be poor, I..."

Cui Wei regretted his recklessness a little bit, after all, he almost grew up in the army, so he didn't feel anything, but for King Rui, maybe it's better to hurry back to the city.

"Huh?" Yan Jing came back to his senses and looked up at him, "Didn't the Marquis just say that even if I go back now, I will probably catch up with the closing of the city gate, and then I might have to sleep in the wilderness. In comparison, this camp can be said to be comfortable and safe."

"Your Highness, as long as you don't mind." Cui Wei opened the door of the tent and invited Yan Jing in, "There is only one tent in the army for receiving guests, and I had someone take that girl there just now, so I can only wrong Your Highness to stay in my tent." Take a short break."

Yan Jing stepped into the door, and couldn't help but glance over the tent. As the commander of an army, Cui Wei's handsome tent didn't seem to have anything special. Rest, and rarely have time to stay here.

Cui Wei led Yan Jing to sit down in front of the low table, reached out to get the teapot on the table, only to find that it was empty, and hurriedly ordered someone to boil water to make tea, and then turned around and looked at Yan Jing with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, there are not many people in my tent on weekdays, so..."

Yan Jing's eyes kept falling on his face, watching him busy since entering the tent, and finally said: "I just drank a lot of tea from your army outside the camp, and I'm not thirsty right now. " He looked down, looked at the armor on Cui Wei's body that had not been replaced in time, and continued, "Master Hou, why don't you take care of yourself first."

Only then did Cui Wei remember that he was still wearing the blood-stained armor, and couldn't help but raised his hand to touch the back of his head, and whispered, "I'm really sorry."

"The general has been in the army for a long time, and I don't care about trivial matters. This king is used to it." Yan Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't have to worry about it, the general."

Cui Wei thought of some previous things, only to realize that he seemed to have been informal in front of Yan Jing a lot, so he couldn't help but also laughed, scratched his hair, turned his back and began to remove the armor on his body.

Both of them stopped talking, and the tent immediately became quiet, only the soft sound of the armor remained, which did not make people feel irritable.Yan Jing sat crookedly at the table, staring at Cui Wei all the time, he actually wanted to ask this person what he did to break his promise to him today, and how did he come back with such a mess?

However, he couldn't help but feel that he and Cui Wei weren't that familiar yet, so it's better for him not to ask about matters that might involve military affairs.

Cui Wei's movements were very skilled, and he quickly took off the armor that was in the way. He was only wearing a white gown with small sleeves, but the gown was inevitably stained with blood. He said that it was probably both an eyesore and a horror, so he hesitated for a moment, then took off the robe as well, and only wore a middle coat.

After taking it off, he couldn't help lowering his head to take a closer look. Seeing that there was no blood on the middle coat, he was relieved and turned around to search for a new outer robe.

Yan Jing has been observing Cui Wei, taking his every move and every small change of expression into his eyes.He recalled his previous preconceived impressions of this young man. He always felt that since he was a member of the Cui family, he had a great contrast in several things, and his face changed quickly. its purpose.

Perhaps it was because Yan Jing was shocked by this young man in that small village that day, so that Yan Jing could try to slowly abandon the prejudice of the past to look at this young man, and then gradually realized that not only did he not see his scheming, sometimes, Cui Wei was in There is still a childishness that cannot be concealed in the daily speech and demeanor-sincere and frank, and full of enthusiasm that Yan Jing cannot match.

"General, the hot water is ready."

Cui Wei was squatting in front of the wooden box looking for clothes, but he didn't turn his head when he heard the words: "Let's put it outside the tent."

Yan Jing glanced at him, smiled on his lips, got up and walked to the tent door, opened the tent door: "Give it to me."

The soldier carrying the hot water froze for a moment before passing over the kettle in his hand.Yan Jing took the kettle calmly, and said "excuse me", before turning back and putting down the tent door.

Cui Wei finally found a black robe and came out, turned around and saw Yan Jing holding a kettle in his hand, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, but I'd like to ask Your Highness to do it myself."

"I can't even carry a pot of water." Yan Jing said, "I didn't see Hou Ye being such a polite person before, so why is he like this today?"

Cui Wei was holding the robe in his hand, before he put it on, he heard the words and replied: "After all, today is in my camp, and His Highness is a distinguished guest, so it is my fault for being so negligent."

"Honored guest?" Yan Jing repeated in a low voice, with a hint of a smile in his voice, he glanced at the kettle in his hand, then at Cui Wei's face that hadn't been washed in time, turned around and put the hot water in the kettle. The water poured directly into the basin beside it.

Cui Wei's eyes widened: "Your Highness, this is..."

"Anyway, I don't really want to drink tea. Since the hot water is boiled, it's a waste to not use it. It's just for Lord Hou to wash his face." After Yan Jing finished speaking, her eyes rested on Cui Wei's face again.

Cui Wei touched the tip of his nose and didn't know what to say, so he just nodded slightly in the end, then poured some cold water into the basin, rolled up his cuffs, bowed his head and began to wash his face.

Yan Jing was too lazy to sit back, and simply leaned aside and watched Cui Wei wash his face.Cui Wei could feel his gaze even if he lowered his head. He felt a little embarrassing for a while, so he had to slow down his movements to make himself look more refined and wash more carefully.

After a while, Cui Wei finally washed his face, turned around and smiled at Yan Jing with a small white face that was still dripping with water: "It's okay when marching and fighting, but No matter how careful you are, it's inevitable that you'll be in a mess. It's more comfortable to wash it clean."

The young man's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he looked very satisfied, which made Yan Jing's eyes freeze for a short time. After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed the belly of his thumb against the hairline between Cui Wei's forehead, surprised at him eyes, immediately explained: "I didn't wash it here."

Cui Wei suddenly raised his hand and touched the place where Yan Jing rubbed, tilted his head to think for a while, and simply let his long bundled hair loose, soaked it in the water, and washed it directly.

Yan Jing looked down at him, and couldn't help but look down at her thumb, feeling that there was still a faint touch on it, but she couldn't describe what kind of feeling it was.Yan Jing couldn't help rubbing her fingers, and finally put her whole hand behind her back so that she wouldn't see it.

At this time, the tent door was suddenly opened, startling Yan Jing who was stupefied. He turned his head and saw Fu Yue striding in. There was a slight smile on the corner of his face, but it looked rather indifferent.

Fu Yue was startled when he saw Yan Jing, and swallowed the words when he reached his lips. He glanced at Cui Wei who was seriously washing his long hair, then at Yan Jing's expression, and gently touched the tip of his nose , opened the mouth and said: "I said that the whole atmosphere in the army is different today. It turns out that there are distinguished guests. The arrival of His Highness really makes our entire camp flourish."

Yan Jing chuckled lightly: "Your Excellency, you are welcome. I also have nothing to do today, just wander around and visit Your Excellency by the way, as well as that insignificant captain you mentioned, Li Ji."
