My concubine is in trouble again

"Yan Shenzhi, you are finally back! I miss you so much!" Yuan Yuan hugged Yan Huai and replied tenderly.

Yan Huai patted her thin back before letting go, and took her hand to walk into the mansion.

"Yan Shenzhi, why are you and Zhuiyun the only ones? Where are the others?" Yuan Yuan asked as he walked.

"Gu first come back to pick you up, General Guo will lead the team to arrive tomorrow." As soon as Yan Huai stepped into the main courtyard, Yuan Zhentian was already waiting to see him.

"Welcome Your Highness to return to the capital." Yuan Zhentian took the lead, and the servants of the Duke's Mansion naturally agreed.

Yan Huai came back one step ahead of the army, and after helping Yuan Zhentian and briefly explaining the situation to him, Tsing Yi immediately led the mulberry picking and chrysanthemum picking to Yuan Yuan's luggage.

Hearing Yan Huai's words about taking him back to the East Palace, Yuan Yuan frowned and muttered, "Can't I go back to the East Palace tomorrow? I haven't finished my dinner yet."

Yan Huai's return to Beijing is a major event, Yuan Zhentian naturally would not spoil her original wish, and made arrangements for Yan Huai before she could reply.

"Don't talk nonsense, His Highness will naturally go to pay his respects to His Majesty when he returns to Beijing, and obediently go back to the East Palace with His Highness."

Soon Yuan Zhentian half-coaxed and half-disgusted Yuan Zhentian sent her out of the house, until the carriage was nowhere to be seen, Yuan Zhentian's heart was finally relieved, and His Highness finally returned safely.

Originally wished to ride in the same carriage with Yan Huai, Xiao Dezi and Qing Yi were in charge of driving the carriage, chasing the wind and chasing the cloud one after the other to clear the way for the carriage.

In the carriage, Yuan Yuan sat next to Yan Huai, after carefully confirming the condition of Yan Huai's body, Yuan Yuan didn't say anything warm and affectionate, only sighed with a little disgust, "Yan Shenzhi, you've grown dark!"

"..." Xiao Dezi and Tsing Yi outside the carriage held back their smiles, and it really was the daily life of their familiar masters.

Yan Huai didn't expect the little girl to say anything nasty, but just held her little hand tightly in his own, and replied softly, "Yeah."

Seeing that he had already closed his eyes tiredly, thinking that he had rushed back day and night to see him, he wished not to disturb him again, and quietly followed the carriage to the palace.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the East Palace, Yan Huai first sent the original wish to the main hall, Tsing Yi ordered the picking of mulberry and chrysanthemum to put away the soft goods, and then went to the dining room to have someone open fire.

"Xinxin, go see father first, and eat dinner first, so you don't have to wait for Gu." Yan Huai strode away from the East Palace after explaining his original wish.

The news of the east palace's carriage entering the palace quickly reached Emperor Yan's ears, wondering if the little girl was tired of living in the Duke's Mansion.

Emperor Yan was currently dealing with government affairs in the Hall of Qinzheng. Since Yanhuai garrisoned the border, he had to deal with piles of memorials every day, so that he seldom went to the harem to stay overnight.

When Emperor Yan was having a headache about how to reply to the paper in his hand, he heard Juan pushing the door excitedly, and the folds on his face became one after another with a smile.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's Your Highness! Your Highness is back!"

Emperor Yan immediately put down the folder in his hand, stood up abruptly, but suddenly staggered back two steps in a whirl, frightened Juan rushed up to support him.

"Your Majesty! Are you all right?"

"I'm fine, I just sat for a long time." Although his head was a little dizzy, he still couldn't resist his joyful mood.

Yan Huai had already strode into the Hall of Qinzheng, and solemnly bowed to Emperor Yan, "My son bows to my father, my father is safe."

Emperor Yan looked at the eldest son who had grown a lot taller in front of him and was also a little rough due to the wind and sun, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, that's great, this is the blood of him and Wan'er.

"Careful, come to Father's side quickly! Let Father have a good look!" Emperor Yan waved to him emotionally.

On the other hand, Yan Huai just walked in front of Emperor Yan calmly, showing no joy in reuniting Emperor Yan after a long absence.

Emperor Yan asked a question and Yan Huai answered, the father and son didn't get closer to each other just because they didn't see each other for more than half a year.

Sensing the indifferent atmosphere between father and son, Hu An advised Emperor Yan, "Your Majesty, your Highness must have not washed up and had a meal just after returning to the palace. Why don't you let His Highness go back to the East Palace to rest first?"

Emperor Yan walked down the steps given by Hu An, "Yes, we should let Shen Zhi rest well. When Guo Qing leads the army back to Beijing tomorrow, I want to reward the soldiers who threw their heads and blood for Dayan!"

With Emperor Yan's consent, Yan Huai didn't stay in Qinzheng Hall any longer, and soon bowed and resigned.

Emperor Yan looked at the back of the eldest son who did not miss him, opened his mouth and sighed in a low voice, "Carefully, he is afraid that he will never forgive me again in this life..."

Yan Huai returned to the East Palace as quickly as possible, no matter how perfunctory he was when he faced Emperor Yan in Qinzheng Palace, there was an urgency to return to the East Palace.

"Huh? Yan Shenzhi, why did you come back so soon? Dinner isn't ready yet." Yuan Yuan was eating cakes, and Tsing Yi was afraid that she would be hungry, so he took a few pieces of donkey and rolled them around for her to rest on her stomach first.

Yuan Yuan has also grown up in the past six months, she is a half-grown girl, but her face still has some baby fat, although she is still childish, her temperament is much calmer.

Yan Huai's heart softened when he saw a small change in the person he was thinking about.

Seeing that Yan Huai didn't pay attention to him, he wished to eat the last piece of pastry, so he called him softly, "Yan Shenzhi?"

Before Yan Huai could speak, Xiao Dezi's voice sounded outside the bedroom, "Your Highness, I have prepared hot soup, do you want to wash up now?"

"I'll go later." Yan Huai responded to Xiao Dezi, then sat down beside Yuan Yuan, reached out and gently pinched her fleshy little face.

The soft and delicate touch made Yan Huai couldn't help pinching a few more times, and she gave up her original wish, holding his big hand with both hands and pulling it away from her face, warning him ferociously, "Yan Shenzhi! You are not allowed to pinch my face! Tsing Yi said that children's faces cannot be pinched! Otherwise I will drool when I sleep!"

Regarding her theory of children's drooling, Yan Huai put forward her own different views, "Yuan Xinxin, you are already 11 years old, you are not a child anymore, even if you don't pinch your face, you still drool when you sleep."

Inexplicably being hated, the little joy of Yan Huai's return disappeared immediately, and he grabbed Yan Huai's collar and retorted, "Nonsense! I am drooling when I sleep!"

Seeing that the little girl's hair was blown up by himself, Yan Huai subconsciously wanted to touch the bun on her head. The two little chirps that she tied when she was a child were gone, and she replaced it with a flying bun, for fear of messing up her bun. She got angrier and withdrew her hand, but the words in her mouth didn't stop.

"The saliva is all over Gu's body, of course you don't know."

Seeing that his words became more and more outrageous, he was willing to use his trump card to make him shut up, "Yan Shenzhi! If you keep talking nonsense, you will sleep on a couch by yourself at night!"

Tsing Yi outside the gate of Hou Zai heard the noise of the two masters being loud, and couldn't help interrupting, "Your Highness, Your Highness, dinner is ready."

As soon as he heard that it was time to eat, Yuan Yuan stopped arguing with Yan Huai and dragged him to the dining room for dinner.
