comeback [rebirth]

"Mother concubine!"

Cen Yuan's voice came before anyone else. At that time, Jiang Zhaoyi was playing with a few pots of hydrangeas that had just bloomed in the yard, so it was no surprise.She picked up one of the flowerpots, and asked without looking back, "Just finished school? Has the teacher assigned homework?"

"No!" Cen Yuan chuckled, "I even brought someone here!"

"Who?"

This was somewhat unheard of, Jiang Zhaoyi hurriedly put down the flowerpot, turned around to look, only to find that there was a person behind her own son, whose appearance was familiar.

There are countless banquets in the palace every year, but only the New Year's banquet allows officials to bring their direct family members to attend.According to Yan Xuan's appearance, even if he is thrown into the crowds of people in the Lantern City in Chang'an City, people will notice him at a glance, let alone in this banquet, he will sit at the head of the officials with Yan Taiwei up.

"This is Mr. Yan's young master, right?" Jiang Zhaoyi quickly recalled.

Yan Xuan saluted and said, "I met Jiang Zhaoyi."

"You don't have to be so polite with me." Jiang Zhaoyi took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, squatted down and wiped the sweat from Yan Xuan's temples, and then turned to look at Cen Yuan: "I don't know when the two of you had such a relationship. So good."

Cen Yuan was lying on the stone table picking fruits from the fruit basket, and he said, "Let's take it from today onwards. The emperor allowed him to attend classes at the Imperial Academy together, so I brought him along after class just now." .”

Yan Xuan's forehead still had a slight itchy feeling from being wiped with a good cloth. After hearing Cen Yuan's words, he blinked his eyes lightly, and then glanced in the direction of the other party - he was sure it was "belt", not soft and hard Bubble?

However, in the bedroom of his mother and concubine, the other party did not have any malicious intentions, and it was impossible for Yan Xuan to really bury something like this, so he pretended that everything was as the other party said, and nodded obediently.

Jiang Zhaoyi smiled slightly, and said mercilessly to Cen Yuan: "You, I haven't seen you get very close to other princes or other people. Today is your enlightenment?"

"Where is it?" Cen Yuan said, finally picked an orange, peeled it, broke it into two halves, and stuffed one half into Yan Xuan's hand.

He thought, it was just a "hero saving the beauty" that's all.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore." Jiang Zhaoyi said, "It's nothing to let people stand by the side all the time."

She then asked the maids to go to the front hall first, prepared tea and snacks, and took the two children by herself, and the three of them walked slowly to the front hall.

Cen Yuan looked at Yan Xuan's silent look, guessing that the other party might be more serious about strangers, or he might not be too embarrassed to eat and drink, so he kindly reminded: "Don't be cautious, just treat this as your own mansion. .”

"That's right." Jiang Zhaoyi also echoed the words, "I only have one son, Cen Yuan, although he is already annoying enough..."

Cen Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Mother Concubine!"

Jiang Zhaoyi smiled, ignored him, and continued to talk to Yan Xuan: "But with one more voice, this Jin'an Palace will be more lively, and it will be much more lively than when there is only birdsong."

After Cen Yuan listened to this sentence quietly, he looked towards Yan Xuan for some reason, but unexpectedly the other party's gaze fell on him, colliding so unexpectedly in the air filled with the scent of flowers.

Jiang Zhaoyi didn't notice their gaze, and suddenly sighed: "Look at me, what are you talking about. Xiaoxuan, can I call you that?"

Yan Xuan nodded.

Jiang Zhaoyi smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do in the future, you're welcome to come and play with A Yuan."

Yan Xuan didn't say yes or no, just now when she was peeking at it, she happened to be spotted by the other party, so she didn't dare to look at Cen Yuan any more.He whispered: "I will disturb you."

"How can you disturb me?" Jiang Zhaoyi said, "You are quite stubborn, kid."

"..." Yan Xuan pursed her lower lip: "Isn't Jiang Zhaoyi celebrating the birthday of His Highness the Second Highness today?"

When Cen Yuan heard the words, he immediately thought it was bad.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhaoyi asked, "What birthday?" But after a while, she understood what was happening, covered her mouth and let out a soft laugh.

"He must have lied to you." Jiang Zhaoyi said, "Who knows his birthday better than me? It's in spring, and it's just passed. Where did the birthday come from right now?"

Yan Xuan opened his mouth slightly, and then realized that everything Cen Yuan said just now was nothing more than an improvised rhetoric to make him stay.

He suddenly felt embarrassed, and the tips of both ears were stained crimson, especially on the clean skin.

On the other side, Cen Yuan, the person involved, saw that the deal was done, but he had no guilt at all, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, I will definitely come to you to celebrate my birthday next year."

Yan Xuan's facial expression returned to calm, leaving only his ears blushing.

"How about it." Cen Yuan said again, "When is your birthday? I'll pass it to you first."

Yan Xuan replied: "The eighth day of October." He paused, "But I don't celebrate my birthday."

"Why..." Cen Yuan was about to ask, when he suddenly remembered the rumors mentioned by the fourth prince just now, so he quickly controlled his mouth and kept quiet.

Since Yan Xuan's mother died during the dystocia, it meant that Yan Xuan's birthday was the anniversary of his mother's death, and the reason why it was just a birthday was self-evident.

At that time, Cen Yuan was not yet deeply involved in the world, even if he was calm and composed just now, he was unavoidably slow to react now, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only let the atmosphere between each other suddenly become stiff.

He murmured and walked two steps side by side with Yan Xuan, and suddenly, without warning, he hugged Yan Xuan's shoulder.

"Although I haven't seen your mother—it would be a ghost—but I also know that no mother in this world would want their children to think so."

Cen Yuan was still young, so he spoke in a pretentiously mature tone, and it sounded like the truth.

But he started to let go in a blink of an eye: "It's really not possible. From today on, you will be my concubine mother and your mother. If you didn't get it before, my concubine mother and I will give you double the share."

Yan Xuan immediately said: "How can you overstep."

He frowned slightly, and there was a shadow of a serious future on his face.

"There are not so many messy rules in this Jin'an Palace." Cen Yuan whispered lightly, and then turned to Jiang Zhaoyi, "Mother Concubine, do you think so?"

Jiang Zhaoyi smiled and said, "As long as you can say it, just hold on to a little bit."

"Look." Cen Yuan cheered at Yan Xuan, and said with fingers: "Just think about how lucky you are. You can have two mothers in this life. One is a beautiful woman, and the other is the most beautiful woman in Daning. Good mother, there is no one in this world who can be like you!"

Yan Xuan remained silent, her eyes were bright and clear, and she walked back and forth between the mother and son.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoyi asked Cen Yuan, "Are you envious?"

"I don't have a son!" Cen Yuan immediately embraced Jiang Zhaoyi's arm curtly, "It is enough for a son to have a mother and concubine!"

"Okay, okay, you're really excited." Jiang Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Let's make people laugh."

Hearing this, Cen Yuan turned his head to look at Yan Xuan, and saw that although the other party's expression was not very obvious, it could still be seen that the corners of his mouth turned upwards by a very small amount.

Cen Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Even though in the eight years of his life so far, the people he has seen are almost limited to this palace, he still wants to say something——

Lang Yan is unique and unique in the world.

It's a pity that this atmosphere didn't last long before Cen Yuan suddenly realized something: "Wait! You just said that your birthday is the eighth day of October?!"

Yan Xuan nodded obediently.

Cen Yuan thought for a while, he vaguely remembered hearing someone say that he and Master Yan's son were born in the same year.He blinked in shock and said, "So, I'm half a year older than you?!"

Half a year older and shorter than others, this is too much!

Yan Xuan looked bewildered, apparently not keeping up with his fast-paced brain circuits, and nodded reflexively.

"..." Cen Yuan was speechless for a moment.

He thought about it angrily for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to respond to the other party's response. In the end, he could only hold back a sentence: "Then according to your age, you have to call me brother."

Naturally, it was impossible for Yan Xuan to shout.

On the side, Jiang Zhaoyi made a timely rescue: "Okay, I'll let you take care of yourself, don't go too far."

"But..." Cen Yuan couldn't speak, so he could only suffocate and sulking, and finally let out a long howl: "How can I grow taller..."

Yan Xuan always felt a little sorry in his heart, thought Cen Yuan was asking him, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Xi Wu?"

"How do you know that I don't practice anymore!" Cen Yuan retorted subconsciously, and then suddenly thought of something: "I heard that General Yan is the best at horse fighting, since you are the son of General Yan, you must follow him Those who practice martial arts should be very good at riding and shooting, right?"

Yan Xuan said, "It's okay."

Cen Yuan raised his jaw slightly, his eyes gleamed with confidence: "I was the first in the riding and archery competition in Huichunsou last time, and even the prince brother couldn't beat me."

Young people's heart-to-heart talks don't have so much suspicion and ambiguity, and they are often in a flash. When this topic is mentioned, Yan Xuan seems to respond without hesitation, and quickly said: "It's time to shoot again soon."

Cen Yuan asked: "Then will you participate in Xia Miao's competition?"

Yan Xuan: "Should be."

"But there is still a month to go." Cen Yuan muttered, "It would be great if I could compete with you sooner..."

·

Fortunately for Cen Yuan, he did not wait a full month.

A few days after this day, I happened to meet Mrs. Liu Xiumu, and even took the Tai Xuetang to suspend classes for a day.Cen Yuan applied to leave the palace on this day, and planned to go to the hunting ground in the suburbs of Beijing with Yan Xuan.

The night before, he had insomnia for the whole middle of the night, and woke up at midnight the next day, and finally made it to the starting point.After leaving the palace, he sat in the car, raised the curtain uneasily, and leaned on the side of the car to watch the crowd coming and going outside the car.

After not many roads, Cen Yuan couldn't help asking, "Where is the Yan Mansion?"

The young man pointed to the left hand side not far ahead: "Go back to the Second Highness, it's in Red Square, that's right here."

The place he was pointing at was a wall covered with wisteria, and Cen Yuan asked again: "Is that all?"

"Go back to the Second Highness." The little servant said, "This is still the back wall of Yan Mansion, the main entrance is on the south side, we will be there soon."

As he said that, he pulled the hand holding the rein, and he was about to lead the horse to the alley on the left.

"Stop, stop." Cen Yuan hurriedly said, "The main entrance faces south, so it's too troublesome to go around the whole Red Square. I'll go in directly from here."

"Ah?" The boy was taken aback, "There is no back door here, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the second prince climbed up the wall with a light tap of his feet, but he couldn't stand firmly when he landed, and his figure swayed slightly.

The boy quickly pulled the rein and shouted: "Second Highness!"

On the other side of the wall, Cen Yuan didn't have time to answer the boy's shouts, because he had already seen the person he was looking for as soon as he climbed over the wall.
