Dream Hua Embers Records

The army marched to Yanjing, joined the teams of the two princes, and stationed in the suburbs.

Yan Qihao was unable to return to his residence because the emperor's order for the expedition had not yet been returned, so Yan Yin also continued to stay in the army.

A news report came from Nanzhao, saying that Kang Mao had officially ascended the throne, changed his Yuan to Jianping, established his capital in Hangzhou, and was about to move south in the near future.The [-]th Route Jiedu envoy was also ordered to recover Henan and Hebei, and the war was about to break out.Yan Qihao had no choice but to reorganize the army on the spot and go to various border towns to deploy defenses. He has been extremely busy these days, but he still wondered how he could find some time to teach Yan Yin how to ride horses and shoot arrows.

Yan Yin has not been idle for the past few days, she just ran around in the camp, looking for his elder brother, the real Shuo Wang Kangying.

"Brother Prince!"

Among the passing people, carts, and horses, among the overlapping shadows of tents and spears, Yan Yin spotted the desolate figure in the green shirt at a glance.

The man was held hostage by two soldiers, and when he heard the call, he turned around slowly, and it was Kang Ying.

The clothes are still the same clothes, and the person is still the same person, but somehow, it looks like a painting that has been collected for many years.

"Brother Prince... are you okay?" Yan Yin approached quickly.

"I'm fine." Kang Ying nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, I lied to you...I'm not the real prince, I am Shuo Wang Kangying, the eldest son of the emperor, and the prince Kang Mao is my twin brother."

"I know, I already knew..."

"You don't blame me?"

Yan Yin shook her head, "No wonder, I know your difficulties."

Kang Ying raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Thank you, Yin'er, thank you!"

Perhaps it was because there were people next to them, and the conversation between the two seemed polite and polite.

Kang Mao's eyes were red, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Yan Yin only felt stuffy in his chest, as if there was something stuck in his throat, and he couldn't breathe freely, suddenly he felt a little sullen, and lashed out at the two soldiers, "What are you trying to do with the prince's brother?" ?”

Seeing this little man with his teeth and claws open, the two soldiers were startled, and looked at each other, one of them bowed and said, "Young man, our army will leave in a few days, and we will take these people to Zhongdu." Yes. According to the rules of presenting captives in the ancestral temple, all the men among these people have to have their faces tattooed. Isn’t this going to force them to tattoo in batches?”

Yan Yin became anxious when she heard it, "What is the tattoo? Where is the tattoo?!"

The soldier replied more respectfully, "According to the old practice of Bohai prisoners of war, the word 'official' should be tattooed on the cheek."

Yan Yin was furious, "Stop it! You are not allowed to tattoo the prince's brother! Whoever you want to tattoo, you are not allowed to touch the prince's brother!" Yan Yin was worried that her own people would be soft-spoken and they would not listen to her, so she added, "You... you put the prince brother to me as the last one, and I will go talk to my father right away! You are not allowed to act rashly!"

The soldier said nonchalantly, "This is the best way. If the prince gives the order, we will naturally obey Xiao Langjun's orders."

Kang Ying shook her head, "This humiliation is nothing, why do you make things difficult for them and yourself?"

"Brother Prince, don't worry about it, wait for my news!" After Yan Yin finished speaking, she ran towards Yan Qihao's central army account.

Yan Qihao was sitting in the tent, stringing a small bow.He tried to pull it a few times, then shook his head again, tightened the bowstring, and pulled it a few more times, but he was still dissatisfied, then loosened it again, with a kind smile on his face all the time.

"Father!" Yan Yin ran in panting.

"Yin'er, you came at a good time, come and try this bow to see if it fits your hand." Yan Qihao laughed.

But Yan Yin fell to her knees with a thump, took two steps on her knees, and rubbed herself in front of Yan Qihao, "Father, please don't tattoo the prince's brother on the face."

Yan Qihao's face darkened, "Is it your responsibility to take care of military matters?"

"I know I shouldn't care about it, but... please, father, don't! Don't... the prince's brother is so beautiful, don't ruin his face, just like engraving on Ru kiln porcelain, ruining such a beautiful Things will be condemned by God!"

Yan Qihao didn't find it funny when he heard Yan Yin's incoherent speech, but he still kept a straight face and said, "Is Kang Ying beautiful? Why can't I see it?"

"That's because everyone likes different things, just like my father likes Jun kiln, but my mother and I like Ru kiln."

Yan Qihao smiled wryly, thinking that it was because he liked Jun Kiln, but he couldn't get the porcelain from Ru Kiln, thinking that Jun Kiln was also a famous kiln with the same reputation as Ru Kiln.

In a blink of an eye, Yan Qihao thought of himself when he was a child. The self at that time was younger than this child, right?I begged my father in the same way, not to let him tattoo the face of the little prince of Bohai, "He is very beautiful, I like him, and I want him to accompany me! If you get tattooed, it will not look good, and you can't do it anymore." !" Even the reasons are the same unreasonable...Yan Qihao thought, and secretly smiled in his heart, is it father and son...

"Father..." Seeing that Yan Qihao was silent, Yan Yin called softly, "Please."

"This is the emperor's will, a rule set by the ancestors."

"Then... don't tattoo the prince's brother yet, okay? I'll ask the emperor."

"That's not okay. If the emperor saw that there was no tattoo on his face when he offered the prisoner, the father would take the boss's blame."

Yan Yin was silent. Letting Kang Mao go had already caused trouble to the king, and it would be unjustifiable to let the king go against the order. When he felt anxious, he shed tears.

"Don't cry!" Yan Qihao snapped.

Yan Yin trembled in fright and stopped crying.

"If there is nothing else, you go down first."

Yan Yin bit her lip, just knelt there and refused to leave, "Is there no compromise? Agu's original slave seal is in an inconspicuous position on the shoulder socket, and it's not that big."

Yan Qihao thought to himself that this child doesn't know what's going on, when he obeys the rules, he obeys the rules better than anyone else, but every time he doesn't obey the rules, he always thinks that he can give favors outside the law and make a compromise.

"That's the slave seal of a house slave. The head of each family decides the size of the position, but this is the slave seal of an official slave. The country has rules and regulations."

Seeing that Yan Qihao was not angry, Yan Yin said boldly, "Actually... At that time, I also hated Agu, but I didn't dare to intercede that time, because Agu was wrong, but the prince did nothing wrong! Not only was he right , and was given up as a pawn by his own father, he didn't know how sad he must be, the prince's brother is so pitiful..."

"Your prince's elder brother is pitiful, the father was deceived by him, isn't it pitiful?"

"Father, it's my fault that Kang Maonan returned, it has nothing to do with the prince brother!"

"Why is it irrelevant? If the two of them hadn't exchanged identities, how could you have made such a big mistake?"

Yan Yin didn't answer, just pursed her lips and knelt there motionless.

Yan Qihao took the bow and said to Yan Yin, "Pull it away."

Yan Yin got up and took the bow, imitating the way adults do, using both hands.But even with the strength of breastfeeding, he couldn't pull it to perfection.

Yan Qihao walked up behind Yan Yin, squatted down, put his arms around Yan Yin's shoulders, held Yan Yin's hand with both hands, and talked about the essentials of drawing a bow, guiding Yan Yin, with just a little force, the bow will be easily drawn was pulled away.

"If you can maintain this posture for an hour, father will help you find a way."
