don't fight the general

The sky was so overcast that when Yan Jing raised his eyes after approving the memorial at hand, he couldn't tell what time it was.Candles were burning inside the hall, and it was still brightly lit, but looking out through the open window, it was already dark and rainy.

Yan Jing put down the vermilion pen in his hand, twisted his sore neck, got up and came to the window only to find that it was raining heavily, and after standing in front of the window for a while, water droplets were splashed on his front.Yan Jing couldn't help frowning, and turned her head to Yin Ping, who was packing up the pen and ink on the desk, and asked, "What time is it?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's three o'clock." Yin Ping raised his head, glanced towards the window, caught a glimpse of Yan Jing's expression, and immediately understood what he was worried about. The rain just started, so we shouldn’t get wet.”

It has been more than three years since Yan Jing ascended the throne. Except for the government affairs of the court, he has spent his daily energy on raising his only younger brother, Yan Jue. Fortunately, after Cui Wei became the general, he has been stationed in the capital. Although the military affairs are not idle, he can always come to the palace to accompany Yan Jing when he is free, and his uncle naturally shares most of the responsibility of raising Yan Jue.Today Cui Wei had some free time and took Yan Jue out of the palace to visit his grandfather in Cui's mansion, leaving Yan Jing alone in the Taining Hall to deal with the government affairs, and caught up with the sudden rainstorm.

Yan Jing looked at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier outside, and frowned tightly. Before she could speak, she suddenly heard a "creak", the door of the outer hall was opened, and after the sound of messy footsteps, there was a soft voice. Come: "Brother Jing, I'm back!"

Yan Jing responded subconsciously, then changed her face, walked around the screen and strode to the outer hall: "Yan Jue! What's your name?"

As soon as Fang entered the door, Yan Jue, who was snarled by the current saint, was not afraid at all, and looked at Yan Jing with a pair of big eyes and a smile: "That's what uncles are called!"

"..."

Yan Jing looked at the little guy in front of him, unable to correct the address. He stretched out his hand to pick up Yan Jue's hair sticking to his face, and then tugged at the wet cloth sticking to his body, taking a deep breath. After taking a breath, he turned his gaze to Cui Wei, who had walked around the hall and was also drenched, wiping his hair with a dry cloth towel: "Ah Wei, did you fall into the water on the way back?"

Cui Wei came over with another dry cloth towel, and wiped it on Yan Jue's head: "Ju'er said that he had never seen such a heavy rain, and wanted to go play. So we got off the carriage outside the gate of the imperial city." , stepped on the water all the way in." After Cui Wei finished speaking, he noticed Yan Jing's slightly changed face, hesitated for a moment, moved the cloth towel in his hand down, just covering Yan Jue's eyes, and moved neatly to Yan Jing pressed a kiss lightly on her lips, flattering her, "I always played like this when I was young, so I won't get sick."

Yan Jing looked at Cui Wei helplessly, met his clear eyes, Yan Jing always had no way to refuse, in the end she just stretched out her hand and squeezed Cui Wei's face, then turned to Yinping and told: "Get someone to bring hot water quickly!" Come in, big and small, no matter how strong they are, they still have to take a bath and change into dry clothes."

A smile appeared on Cui Wei's lips immediately, and he tilted his head: "Thank you Brother Jing."

Yan Jue raised his head to look at his uncle, and imitated the parrot: "Thank you, Brother Jing."

Yan Jing reached out and knocked on his head: "I told you not to call me that!"

Yan Jue sniffled, opened a pair of eyes that were very similar to Cui Wei's, and asked in puzzlement, "Why can Uncle, but Ju'er not?"

Seeing Yan Jing's eyebrows raised, Cui Wei stretched out his hand and carried Yan Jue directly on his shoulders, and waved at Yan Jing: "Let's go take a bath first!" Then he walked into the room quickly, afraid that if he took a step too late, he would be caught Yan Jing reprimanded.

Yan Jing watched his rapidly disappearing back, shook her head slightly, and couldn't help laughing again.

Yan Jue is nearly four years old, just the age of a little ghost. Others only think that he is still young, but they don't know that everything he says and does falls into his bright eyes. Behavior must be learned, and occasionally when Yan Jing wants to discipline, he has his own reasons, which often makes Yan Jing speechless, and Cui Wei can't help laughing beside him.

Yan Jing had never raised a child before. Although Yan Jue was his younger brother, the relationship between the two was more like a father and son. He rescued the little one from the capital with his own hands, and raised him day by day. Sending this peaceful world, although not a prosperous one, to him, sometimes it is unavoidable to expect too much prosperity, but fortunately, Cui Wei is by his side to remind him from time to time.

After all, the Taining Hall was the emperor's bedroom, and the servants were agile and quickly brought hot water in. There was the sound of water coming from behind the screen, as well as the sound of a freshman talking and laughing.

Yan Jing leaned on the soft couch, picked up a book casually, looked at it casually, and listened to Yan Jue humming an incoherent tune with Cui Wei, the corners of her lips could not help but curl up, The fatigue caused by the numerous affairs of the day also dissipated a lot, and finally he simply threw the book aside and closed his eyes.

When sleepiness first arrived, Yan Jing heard footsteps with the sound of water, and Yinping's low voice. The next moment, a warm body climbed onto the soft couch and squeezed into Yan Jing's arms.

Yan Jing opened her eyes, and met Yan Jue's shining eyes, she couldn't help but raise her lips: "Washed?"

Yan Jue knelt down in front of Yan Jing solemnly, nodded when he heard his question, and shook his head deliberately, letting the water droplets on the tip of his hair splash out and land on Yan Jing's face, then giggled He got up, looking very happy.

Yan Jing tapped his forehead with his hand, then stretched out his hand, Yinping handed over a dry cloth towel, Yan Jing sat up straight, wiped Yan Jue's hair, and asked casually: "Go to grandparents' house today What have you done?"

Yan Jue lowered her head and let Yan Jingwei wipe her hair obediently, and stretched out a hand to recall to Yan Jing one by one with her fingers: "I talked to my grandmother, ate dinner, and watched a few more. Uncle practice sword."

"Practice sword?" Yan Jing paused for a moment before realizing that the uncles Yan Jue was referring to were not Cui Wei, but the children from Cui's family who were not much younger than Cui Wei. But they all admire this distant cousin who has been appointed as a general. Occasionally, when they go to the mansion to catch up with Cui Wei, they will often pester him to show their new moves, or ask for advice. We met again.

Yan Jing didn't care too much, so she followed Yan Jue's words and continued to ask: "What do you think of the sword skills of the uncles?"

Yan Jue raised his head, frowned, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "It's better not to have my uncle! Uncle took their swords with only four moves!"

When mentioning Cui Wei, Yan Jing couldn't help showing a gentle smile in his eyes: "If compared with your uncle, who in this world can compare?"

Yan Jue shook his little head, thought about Yan Jing's words, and then nodded in approval.He had been sitting in one position for a long time, and couldn't help moving his body. Yan Jing pulled him directly onto his lap and hugged most of his body before he could continue to wipe his hair: "When Ju'er grows older, if you feel If you are interested, let your uncle teach you in person, riding and shooting martial arts, military strategy, there is no better master than him in this world."

The child's attention is always distracted quickly, and Yan Jue's mind is obviously not on this topic at the moment, he responded indiscriminately, and lowered his head to play with Yan Jing's sleeves, Yan Jing raised him single-handedly, for He was already familiar with this appearance, so he deliberately raised his arm so that Yan Jue couldn't reach it, teased him again and again, Yan Jue lost interest, and lazily leaned back on Yan Jing, letting him continue to wipe his hair.

The sound of water behind the screen has stopped, it should be that Cui Wei has also washed and is changing clothes, Yan Jing looked up, and the movements of his hands paused, just in time to hear Yan Jue who was in his arms suddenly asked: "Brother Jing , when will uncle find my aunt?"

"What?" Yan Jing's hand holding the cloth towel shook, and the cloth towel fell on Yan Jue's face.

Yan Jue raised his hand and waved the cloth towel away, and glanced at Yan Jing's face. He felt that he didn't get an answer because of the wrong address, so he changed his words again, pulled Yan Jing's skirt, and said in a childish voice. He asked, "Brother Huang, when will uncle find my aunt?"

Yan Jing's complexion gradually became serious: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Yan Jue scratched his hair and recalled: "Today at my grandfather's house, my grandmother and..." Probably couldn't remember what to call that distant cousin, so he simply said, "When I was chatting with my mother-in-law, I said that my mother-in-law's uncle came to the house. I have been married for a month, but my uncle has already reached the crown, and he is still wandering in the army all day long. I don’t know when he will be able to get married. Find me an aunt and give birth to a younger brother.”

Yan Jing didn't answer, and casually scratched Yan Jue's hair, turned his gaze, and just saw Cui Wei, who had changed into a middle coat, coming out from behind the screen, his hair was dripping with water as usual, obviously waiting for Yan Jing to wipe it.

It took three years for the boy to turn into a handsome and upright young man. In addition, he inherited the marquis, held the military power, and was highly regarded by the emperor. Cui Wei gradually became more and more popular in the capital. There are indeed many people in the open and secret They are all planning to get married with him.

Yan Jing looked at Cui Wei for a while, and couldn't help but snorted softly: "Otherwise, you can ask your little uncle."

Cui Wei came to the bed in a few steps, sat down next to Yan Jue, stretched out his hand and pinched his face: "Brother Jing didn't know what question you still want to ask me?"

In Yan Jue's heart, maybe because he is older, the emperor's brother is always more reliable than his uncle, so at this moment Yan Jing actually asked him to ask Cui Wei, which made him feel a little confused, and felt that he really seemed to be After asking a difficult question, he blinked his big eyes and looked at Cui Wei: "Uncle, when will you find my aunt?"
