25. Be gentle

Yan Wenjin has always been very arrogant, plus he didn't like Xi Wen and preferred martial arts since he was a child, since he was twelve years old, he was thrown by Emperor Yan to the Yun family military camp, mixed with a bunch of soldiers, and his temperament was even more straightforward.

He called Mu Ziling 'sister-in-law' is indeed just a simple title, in his eyes, no matter whether Mu Ziling is a man or a woman, as long as he marries his second brother, it is his sister-in-law-

Therefore, he didn't notice Mu Ziling's embarrassed expression after hearing this 'sister-in-law'.

Noticing the change in Mu Ziling's expression, Yan Wenhao gently squeezed his hand, comforted him silently, and then looked at Yan Wenjin again, and changed the topic and asked, "Have you been to see the concubine?" ”

After Empress Zhuang died, Emperor Yan sent Yan Wenhao to be raised by Concubine Xian, who took pity on Yan Wenhao for urinating so little without his mother, and always loved him.

Therefore, Yan Wenhao also treated her like her own mother, and kept calling her her mother.

Yan Wenjin was born to Concubine Xian.

It is because Yan Wenhao and Yan Wenjin have been raised together under the knees of Concubine Xian since childhood, so the relationship between them is very close.

The big head came to Yan Wenhao, and Yan Wenjin replied with a smile: "I came out of the imperial study to visit my mother, and I came to find your second brother after having lunch with my mother." ”

After a pause, he looked at the chariot parked next to him, blinked, and asked, "Second brother, are you and your sister-in-law going out?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to take Kenhe to the Imperial Garden for a walk." Yan Wenhao raised his hand and rubbed his hair, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come." ”

Yan Wenjin smiled brightly, and he happily said, "Otherwise, I'll go with my second brother and sister-in-law." ”

"That's it, you've just come from the Imperial Garden." Glancing at him, Yan Wenhao turned his head and smiled at Mu Ziling again, and said in a gentle voice: "Modesty, I haven't been together with my fourth brother for a long time, it's rare for him to come over today, as for the Imperial Garden, I'll take you there another day?" ”

"Okay."

Mu Ziling bowed slightly, and also returned him with a faint smile.

Yan Wenjin's appearance interrupted their travel plans, so the group had no choice but to return to Lingxiao Pavilion.

Inside the main hall.

led Mu Ziling to the upper seat, and after sitting down, Yan Wenhao personally poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Mu Ziling, and pushed the dim sum that Mu Ziling liked to eat on the low table in his direction.

“……”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yan Wenjin's eyes widened unconsciously, and he was extremely surprised in his heart, he couldn't believe that his second brother would have such a considerate side!

He grew up with his second brother since he was a child, so he naturally knows what his second brother's true character is. For a long time, his second brother's gentle and gentle personality in front of people was just a disguise, and he understood this.

But now, Yan Wenjin knows very well that the gentleness that his second brother shows at this moment is the gentle side of his true personality after losing that layer of disguise.

How could he not be surprised?

Noticing Yan Wenjin's gaze at them, Yan Wenhao turned his head and glanced at him lightly.

Laughing twice, Yan Wenjin raised her hand and scratched her head, and then hurriedly put away the surprised look on her face.

probably guessed that Yan Wenhao and Yan Wenjin should have something to discuss, and it was not appropriate for him to continue here, so Mu Ziling only sat for a while and said a few words to them, and then took the initiative to stand up, under the pretext that he had a few books left unfinished in the morning, and then left with multiple sources.

As soon as Mu Ziling left, Fuquan saluted Yan Wenhao, and then consciously walked to the door, and at the same time, the other eunuchs and palace maids also retreated.

When there were only the two of them left in the hall, Yan Wenjin couldn't wait to ask out loud: "Second brother, it is rumored outside that your body has recovered to health, is this true?" His eyes were bright, his tone was raised, and his voice was full of anticipation.

"It's just a rumor."

"How could it be ......?"

Yan Wenjin's incomparably bright eyes dimmed instantly, and the disappointment on her face was overflowing.

Looking at the unreserved love of the young man in front of him, the smile in Yan Wenhao's eyes deepened, and he chuckled and comforted: "Although it has not fully recovered, it does feel better, I think that it will not be long before I can stick to the court." ”

Yan Wenjin is too straight, and he disdains to speculate on the psychology of others, worried that under the deliberate temptation of someone with a heart, he will accidentally say something leaky, so Yan Wenhao does not plan to tell him that his 'illness' is actually a rare poison, and at this time, the poison has been resolved.

Hearing this, Yan Wenjin's eyes lit up again, he stood up suddenly, and said anxiously: "Really? ”

Yan Wenhao nodded with a smile.

Sitting down again, Yan Wenjin had surprise in his eyes, he looked his second brother up and down, and finally said with satisfaction: "The second brother's spirit is much better." ”

After thinking about it, he smiled again and said, "I must thank my sister-in-law another day." He thought that it was all because of Mu Ziling.

He naturally understands that letting Mu Ziling marry into the royal family as a man is a great sacrifice for Mu Ziling, no matter what, they owe the Mu family a favor.

At the mention of Mu Ziling, Yan Wenhao's eyes softened a little, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "You should treat him well." ”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Yan Wenhao beckoned to Yan Wenjin and motioned for him to sit beside him, "When you came back today, what rumors did you hear in the court?" ”

Walking over and sitting down, Yan Wenjin's face became stern: "There are a lot of them, most of them are about you, second brother." After a pause, he frowned and asked, "By the way, second brother, what's going on with Li He?" What did my father's words mean? ”

There is no impermeable wall in the palace, and the words that Emperor Yan said to Yan Wenhao in the morning have already been known to everyone now, and the speculation about those words is also very loud.

Filling the white jade teacup in front of him, Yan Wenhao raised his eyes, looked at the fourth brother who had already sat in front of him, and explained the matter in a concise and concise manner in an indifferent tone.

"Li He's matter, it's not my expectation, there is someone behind him, as for his purpose......" Narrowing a pair of good-looking eyes, Yan Wenhao said indifferently: "Probably to separate the relationship between me and Qianhe, they are going to Mu Chengxiang." Li He's sentence was actually aimed at Mu Ziling and not him.

Drinking all the tea in the cup, Yan Wenhao laughed: "As for the next thing, I did it deliberately, since someone sent the opportunity to the door, how could I not make good use of it." ”

Playing with the white jade cup in his hand, Yan Wenhao lowered his eyes, pondered, and said slowly: "My father has always had a good face, and he will never allow any official to dare to offend the royal majesty...... And his words were also guided by me. ”

After pondering for a while, a trace of coldness flashed in Yan Wenhao's eyes: "I have been silent for too long, so long that both the princes and ministers and the people of the world have forgotten me, so it is time to take this opportunity to let me return to everyone's field of vision." ”

Pursing her lips, Yan Wenjin looked at him and asked seriously, "Second brother, what can I do for you?" ”

He knew Yan Wenhao's thoughts, although he had no interest in the battle for the crown prince, but if his second brother wanted to fight, he would naturally do his best to help his second brother.

Hearing this, the coldness in his eyes faded little by little, Yan Wenhao patted him on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Now, there is no need to do anything." ”

"Ah......?" Blinking, Yan Wenjin was a little confused, isn't now the best time?

Hooking his lips, Yan Wenhao did not answer his question, but said with a light smile: "During this time, you should take good care of yourself, act cautiously, and don't leave the handle to others." ”

"I know, second brother."

Smiling with satisfaction, Yan Wenhao said to him again: "This time I came back to stay in Beijing for a few more days, and often entered the palace to accompany my mother, although she didn't mention it, but when you were not in the capital, she was always worried, worried about whether you were doing well outside, and missed you very much." ”

A trace of guilt appeared on her face, and Yan Wenjin obediently responded: "I will, second brother, I won't run out again this year." ”
