don't fight the general

It has to be said that Wang Zhong is worthy of being the personal servant of the Holy Majesty today. He has seen various scenes around the Holy Majesty for many years, and he can quickly return to normal after a short period of astonishment. He bowed slightly towards Yan Jing and said in a low voice: "The queen's bedroom is indeed far away from the Yongshou Palace. It's normal for His Highness to find it, it's due to the negligence of the servants."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at a servant behind him: "Aren't you going to lead the way for His Highness?"

None of the servants of Yongshou Palace dared to disobey Wang Zhong's words, so they immediately stepped forward, saluted Yan Jing, and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, please."

Finally, Yan Jing felt a little more relaxed, and he nodded gratefully towards Wang Zhong: "Please trouble me." Then he followed the young man towards Empress Cui's Zhaoyang Palace.

In fact, it's not that Yan Jing is unreliable, as far as he can remember, he has never entered or left Zhaoyang Palace alone.Not only did he not want to have too much contact with the empress in the palace, she seemed too lazy to perfuse him. After entering the palace, she was exempted from the customary rules of greeting princes and princesses. Emperor Yongchu never cared about such trivial matters. Everyone Happy to save you a hassle.

But I didn't expect that today is the request made by Emperor Yongchu on his own initiative.

Yan Jing thought in her heart as she walked, this may be some kind of signal - after all, the position of prince has been vacant for so long, and now there is finally movement in the middle palace, it is not impossible to establish prestige in advance.I just don't know how many people in the harem will have sleepless nights because of this.

Zhaoyang Palace.

Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, Weiyang Palace has been used as the queen's bedroom.But after Cui Qiao entered the harem, he didn't know whether it was to avoid the taboo of the former empress, or because he had other concerns, instead he emptied Weiyang Palace and moved into the more remote Zhaoyang Palace.

Because of her background and personality, Cui Qiao doesn't like to be disturbed, so the concubines in the harem seldom come to Zhaoyang Palace on their own initiative except when they have to come to say hello. The liveliness and warmth that is rarely seen.

Cui Qiao was leaning on the soft bed, and there was an open food box on the small table at hand, and next to the food box was a bowl of steaming tonic soup that had just been filled, with a slight smile on her lips, her eyes kept following that The figure who hadn't been idle since entering the palace finally couldn't help but said: "Ah Wei, don't look for it, come here and talk to Aunt Sister first."

Cui Wei was squatting in front of a half-person-high wooden box, leaning most of his body inside, searching for something, when a muffled voice came over: "I'll find it soon, sister, wait for me!"

It was rare for Cui Qiao to see him like this, so he couldn't help laughing, reached out to pick up the soup bowl, sniffed it gently, couldn't help frowning, put it back to the original place, and said to Cui Wei: "You have come all the way! Coming back from the northwest, I only have half a day to spend with Sister in the palace, are you going to waste it like this?"

"I found it, I found it!" Cui Wei finally left the wooden box, came to Cui Qiao's side in a few steps, and raised the things in his hand to his eyes, "Sister, look!"

Cui Qiao cooperatively looked into his hand, and seeing a pair of festive-looking tiger shoes held between his fingers, he couldn't help laughing: "I thought you brought me some treasure." As he spoke, he took the tiger shoes He took it, and while playing with it between his fingers, he said, "It's a long way from the northwest to the capital city, and it's not too troublesome to bring such a big box here?"

"There is nothing good about Yunzhou City, but this little gadget is still a novelty. I was in a hurry, and I only found these after a quick tour of the city on the day of departure." Cui Wei directly said in Cui Qiao Sitting down next to her, his eyes kept falling on her, his eyes were shining, and his spirit was high, "I will go back to the Northwest after my sister's birthday, and I don't know if I can make it back when my nephew is born, Fu Yue said, Regardless of whether people can come back or not, as an uncle, you must prepare the meeting ceremony first."

Speaking of this, a shy but very gentle smile appeared on his face: "I don't know if my nephew, who has never met, will like it."

Cui Qiao raised his head and glanced at the wooden box. The half-person-high box was filled with all kinds of weird things.She knew that Cui Wei only brought a few horses with him in order to hurry back to the capital this time, and she didn't know how these people transported such a large box from the northwest to the capital.

She couldn't help but raised her hand to touch her still flat belly. She didn't know if the child would like these things, but she was very happy in her heart.Cui Qiao thought, smile lines formed on his lips, and he reached out to touch the top of Cui Wei's hair: "Sister likes it very much."

After all, Cui Wei is only a half-grown boy. When he heard this, a smile burst from the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes curved beautifully. He raised his eyes and saw the soup bowl in Cui Qiao's hand. He tilted his head and said, "Sister, that soup is Mother knew that I was going to enter the palace today, so she ordered someone to cook it last night, saying that it is most suitable for you at this time, and let me watch you drink more."

Cui Qiao looked down at the soup bowl at hand, since she was pregnant, she drank too much of all kinds of nutritious things, so that just smelling the smell made her feel a little tired, but... She glanced at Cui Wei , still picked up the soup bowl, and took a sip lightly: "Mother, please worry about it."

Although Cui Qiao and Cui Wei are sisters and younger brothers, they are not born of the same mother. Her biological mother died young, and her father married Hu as his wife. , especially because of his birth, the Hu family is most concerned about etiquette and etiquette. Since Cui Qiao entered the palace, he has become more polite and alienated when getting along.

Cui Qiao was quite helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, Cui Wei grew up in front of her since she was a child, and the relationship between siblings was deep, so she was not affected by these.But as the son of the Cui family, Cui Wei joined the army with his father when he was a teenager. After his father passed away, he assumed the responsibility of protecting the Northwest with a weak body.

The Tian family is ruthless, Cui Qiao was ready when she married into the palace.Today, the siblings can still be so close, she is very content.

The siblings had a conversation, and the maid rushed in suddenly, and whispered something in Cui Qiao's ear, Cui Qiao couldn't help frowning: "Why did he think of coming to me?"

The maid replied in a low voice: "I heard that His Majesty requested it."

Cui Wei heard the conversation between the two, and raised his head to look at Cui Qiao: "Sister, what's the matter? Should I avoid it first?"

"An irrelevant person came to say hello, and left after a few perfunctory words. There is nothing to avoid." She nodded towards the maid, "Since His Majesty ordered you to come in later. "

The maid bowed: "Yes, ma'am."

Cui Qiao has been in the harem for ten years. During these ten years, Cui Wei has changed from an ignorant child to a young man who can take charge of the border. He is no longer innocent and ignorant. He also gradually understood the situation. He knew how many people were staring at the empress position, and he also knew how helpless his eldest sister had been in the palace for many years. Only the elder sister can sit securely in this empress position.

He didn't know who was going to come to say hello at this moment, but looking at the expression on the eldest sister, he also knew that he was not someone he was familiar with. Thinking of this, Cui Wei put away the smile on his face and straightened his sitting posture.

He has been in the army for a long time, dealing with swords, guns and halberds all day long, so it is inevitable that he will be tainted with a sense of killing. At this moment, he is sitting there with his back straight and expressionless, with a sense of calm and prestige.Cui Qiao raised his eyes and saw that his appearance was funny and felt a little bit relieved. Cui Wei had always been innocent and simple in front of her, and he deliberately put on this appearance at this moment to support her in front of outsiders Posture——Although she didn't care about this posture, her younger brother's intentions moved her.

At this time, the palace door opened from the outside, followed by the sound of trivial footsteps, Cui Qiao took back the words that came to his lips, lowered his head and picked up the soup bowl at hand, drinking it casually, listening to the words Footsteps approached.

Yan Jing followed the maids in the palace all the way into the hall, her eyes were honestly looking at the road under her feet, and she had no interest in other scenes in the hall.When the maid stopped, he stopped too, and knelt down to salute expressionlessly: "My son sees the queen mother."

Although he intentionally restrained himself, he still made this sound reluctantly, because in terms of age, Empress Cui was not much older than him, but because of the etiquette in the palace, and not being confirmed by others, it was only It can be so, but there is some resistance in his heart. He has never been too lazy to hide his emotions, and now he shows it to a certain extent.

The corners of Cui Qiao's lips curled up, and she naturally sensed Yan Jing's reluctance. In fact, from her point of view, she really didn't want to have too much contact with the princes like Emperor Yongchu.But now that the person is in front of him, some superficial work still needs to be done.

"Your Highness, you don't need to be too polite." She put down the soup bowl in her hand and nodded lightly, "Your Highness has a lot of things to do when he first arrived in Yunzhou, and this time he came back because of my birthday. I can't bear it, but thinking Concubine Shu should be very concerned about His Highness, and it would be a good thing to take advantage of this opportunity for mother and son to get together more."

"Your Majesty said so." Yan Jing slowly stood up straight, looking at Cui Qiao naturally. He didn't have much contact with Cui Qiao before, but he didn't see any changes in this person after she became pregnant. He only glanced twice and then turned his gaze, only to suddenly realize that there was another person in the temple.

Yan Jing stared at the straight-waisted young man in white robe, his brows slowly furrowed, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "You..."

Before he could speak, Cui Qiao opened his mouth first: "It's my negligence. This is my brother-in-law Cui Wei, who has been stationed in the northwest all year round. This time, he returned to the capital on the occasion of my birthday. Ah Wei, not yet. Say hello to His Highness King Rui?"
