comeback [rebirth]

It was night, Cen Yuan stayed up all night.

He opened his eyes and stared at the beams for a long time, but the sleepiness did not strike for a long time, so he resigned to his fate, got up and put on a coat, and lit the candle again.

The things hanging around his waist were taken off when he went to wash up, and they were put together on a few cases beside him.Cen Yuan couldn't find anything to do, and he didn't bother to flip through the books to read at the moment. He walked around the bedroom for a long time, and finally brought out one of the strangely shaped jade pendants.

——It was the one that Yan Xuan gave him at night.

He didn't do anything with the jade pendant, he just sat at the table and quietly played with it by the candlelight.

When the candles burned out and looked up again, it was already dawn outside.

It wasn't until now that Cen Yuan realized that he had been staring at this jade pendant all night.

He also couldn't tell why.

As for excitement, it was an emotion he had when he was young and before he could go out of the palace to have fun with Yan Xuan. Now he is almost the top person, no matter how excited he is, he can still be attracted by it. He pressed it to the bottom of his heart, not showing it on his face, let alone being like now, he can still be full of energy after a night of insomnia.

If he had to find a reason, Cen Yuan thought about it, and although he was still skeptical, it might only be a "happy" in the end.

In recent years, he has rarely tasted this kind of emotion. Even when he was revenged for his great hatred in the previous life, it can only be called "the end of suffering" and there is no "sweetness".

But in this life, he has tried it twice.

One time was in Xia Miao, on the way back to Piandian from Emperor Ning's dormitory, and the other time was today.

It's just that last time, just after recovering from the thrilling experience, this emotion was suppressed, leaving only a faint aftertaste, but this time it inadvertently spread throughout Chang'an City, just like yesterday's fireworks, Can illuminate the city in an instant.

——He is very happy, every time someone can stand by his side.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but lowered his head and let out a muffled laugh. It just so happened that someone knocked on the door suddenly.

He suppressed the smile on his face, cleared his throat, and said, "Come in."

The young man pushed the door open and entered. It was the first young man Cen Yuan saw after his rebirth. The bruise on his neck was already healed.

"Your Highness." The servant saw the smoking candlestick on the table, and Cen Yuan who had woken up unexpectedly at this point, and asked, "Your Highness, have you not had a rest all night?"

Cen Yuan didn't say a word, but heard that there seemed to be some noise outside, so he asked, "What's going on outside? It's so noisy."

"Outside." The servant was instantly taken away, "It's General Yan Shao, who is here."

Cen Yuan: "..."

"Why is he here?" Cen Yuan asked tentatively.

The servant thought he was being silly, and repeated with a smile: "Here comes the bride price for Your Highness!"

Cen Yuan: "..."

No, skip directly to the step of Nazheng...

But why did Yan Xuan come to give it to him?

The corners of Cen Yuan's mouth twitched, and he asked the boy to quickly bring the water basin, and after a brief wash, he hurried outside.

Before entering the front hall, he saw a lot of betrothal gifts placed in the courtyard, and Yan Xuan just happened to notice him.

As soon as she saw someone, Yan Xuan frowned: "Why do you come out dressed like this?"

"..." Cen Yuan didn't look at the other party, turned over the boxes one by one, and saw that there were gold and silver, black silk bundles, jade and silk, etc. placed in them.

Yan Xuan said: "The horses are—"

"Stop it, stop it." Cen Yuan hurriedly interrupted him, "You won't really bring me all the things in Changping Mansion, will you? I was joking yesterday!"

And what he said yesterday when he was teasing was still a list, why did he just move the entire mansion here today!

Yan Xuan said: "There is no 'du', it's just a normal dowry."

"Oh, that's fine." Cen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and immediately raised his breath again: "No, no!"

Yan Xuan: "?"

Cen Yuan said: "Now I am the prince, and you are a courtier. No matter what, I should be the one to hire you. Why are you acting as a substitute now?"

Yan Xuan blinked, but didn't answer.

Cen Yuan: "..."

You just rely on your good looks to be unscrupulous, right?

Cen Yuan's breath was directly stuck in his throat, he pointed at the other party with his fingers, and was thinking about what to say, when he saw a young servant bringing in two bundles from outside the gate, which didn't look like betrothal gifts either.

"What's that?"

Yan Xuan replied, "Daily clothes."

"..." Cen Yuan's eyebrows twitched suddenly: "Your?"

Yan Xuan: "Mine."

Cen Yuan looked at the other party vigilantly: "Why are you giving me your own clothes?"

Yan Xuan said: "They're all men, so there's no need to shy away from it. Your Majesty asked me to move here from today to get used to it in advance."

"..." Cen Yuan's first reaction was that there is nothing easy to get used to. Although his mansion and Changping Mansion are separated on the two sides of Yong'an Avenue, and the distance is not close, they are both in Chang'an City, so how far can they go.

But he changed his mind: Since they are married, doesn't that mean... the little general will live in the same house with him? !

Yan Xuan seemed to see what he was thinking from the change of his expression, and asked proactively, "Is there a vacant courtyard in the mansion?"

Cen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

There are definitely vacant yards, but Cen Yuan's activities are usually concentrated in the bedrooms and backyards, and he rarely enters the main hall that connects people to entertain guests, let alone which yards can be used for living, and which yards have been used as warehouses .

Fortunately, at this moment, a person came out from the main hall, it was the housekeeper who was working in the mansion.

"Second Highness." He called out, holding a scroll in his hand, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the other party.

"Are there any empty rooms in the mansion that can be cleaned up and lived in?" Cen Yuan asked.

The butler opened his mouth and answered: "The west and north rooms have been vacant all year round. They are always cleaned by servants on weekdays, and they can be occupied at any time. The west room is slightly larger and closer to your bedroom. As for the east room, it has been changed to a bedroom. The wine cellar is now dedicated to storing the wine that Your Highness scooped up everywhere."

Cen Yuan nodded to show his understanding, and the housekeeper handed him the scroll in his hand and said, "This is all the betrothal gifts from Master Yan."

"..." The corners of Cen Yuan's mouth twitched unconsciously, he opened the scroll, glanced at it roughly, then turned and walked towards the main hall: "Cough, let's take a look at what Master Yan sent."

"This..." The housekeeper followed behind him, "I'm afraid the main hall is a bit crowded..."

Cen Yuan ignored it, and when he walked into the main hall, he realized what the butler said about being crowded.

Originally, due to the infrequent reception of guests, almost no one set foot in the main hall except for the cleaning boys, so apart from the necessary tables and chairs, there was not even a teacup on the table.

However, at this time, the slightly deserted room was filled with dowry boxes, leaving only a few places to stay.

Cen Yuan: "..."

How did this man manage to prepare so much in one day? ?

Cen Yuan glanced behind him, quietly said: "'Normal' dowry? Huh?"

Even because he is the prince, this amount is too much.

Yan Xuan followed behind him, and when he saw him looking over, he lowered his eyes and put one hand on the Mingyu sword at his waist, as if nothing to do with him, even the concentric knot hanging on the Mingyu sword seemed to be innocently swing.

Cen Yuan couldn't help laughing, so he could only hand the gift list back to the butler: "Pick up these things."

"Yes." The butler said, and glanced in Yan Xuan's direction, "Master Yan's things..."

Cen Yuan looked at the two bundles again, pondered for a moment, then turned his head to the housekeeper and said, "Clean up the west wing and let him live in it."

The butler hurriedly said "yes" again, and then called the servant to give instructions. When he glanced at Yan Xuan inadvertently, he saw that although the adult's face was still as calm as water, he could always look at him. There was a clear smile in his master's eyes.

The housekeeper immediately understood, and hurriedly "see no evil" and looked away.

After Cen Yuan over there gave his orders, he turned his gaze back to Yan Xuan: "Little General, I've finished delivering the gift, what else can I do?"

Yan Xuan didn't answer but instead asked, "Did it wake you up this morning?"

It's only past the hour, and it's true that it's not time for Cen Yuan to wake up normally, but today is special, he said with a smile, "No, I woke up early today."

Fortunately, Yan Xuan didn't ask any further questions, just nodded, and glanced at the temporary overcoat on Cen Yuan's body: "Go and change, let's eat first."

·

It was too early, and there were only a few people sitting and eating breakfast on the first floor of Yujin Building, and almost no one spoke, so quiet that only the birdsong outside the building remained.

Xiao Er was sitting at the front desk to settle the accounts. He was drowsy when he looked up and saw a familiar figure.

"Second Highness." He woke up startled, and hurriedly called for someone to greet him eagerly, "Why are you here so early today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw another person walking in right after him. His gaze wandered around between the two, then he smiled meaningfully, and quickly took a step back to salute: "Master Yan, The little one is here to congratulate the two adults."

Cen Yuan: "..."

Why, now everyone in Chang'an City knows that he and Yan Xuan are getting married?

——The whole Chang'an city really knows.

Seeing that Yan Xuan seemed to have something to say to him, Cen Yuan didn't sit on the balcony where he often went, and asked Xiao Er to prepare a private room.The little second hand quickly took them to the third floor, served the food and drinks that Cen Yuan usually used, and then retreated.

After he closed the door, Yan Xuan explained: "Your Majesty issued an edict this morning to amnesty the world from now on until the day you and I get married."

"This..." Cen Yuan stopped pouring the wine, "It's just a marriage, so grand?"

Yan Xuan didn't answer, and took advantage of the gap to grab Cen Yuan's hand and put away the flagon in his hand.

"..." Cen Yuan was sullen: "Well, why are you robbing me of wine!"

"It's only the time of day, and besides, drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health." Yan Xuan retracted the hand holding the flagon behind her back, dodging the opponent's attack to grab the wine, and put the flagon on the stool opposite Cen Yuan .Then he poured a cup of tea as if nothing had happened, and pushed the cup to Cen Yuan.

Cen Yuan: "..."

Without saying a word, he poured down the cup of tea in one gulp, propped his head on one hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and watched Yan Xuan refill the cup with tea.

"Little general, I found out how you behave in such a way." He twitched the corner of his mouth, "Sometimes the three words never leave my body, and those who don't know think that I have some serious illness."

"Don't talk nonsense." Yan Xuan said, "Besides, if you treat yourself better, I don't have to say it again and again."

While talking, he poured himself a cup of tea and put the teapot on the table.However, as soon as he let go of the handle, he was immediately held down by Cen Yuan.

Cen Yuan's palms were cold, and they were folded tightly on his hands, like a piece of ice in a hot summer day.

They were sitting on opposite sides of the round table, Cen Yuan moved to the side, and slightly bullied each other: "Little general, you haven't passed the door yet."

Yan Xuan's fingertips moved, the range was actually very small, but Cen Yuan held it down again in the next moment.

Cen Yuan smiled, but changed the topic: "So why do you want to live in my residence?"
