Chapter 120: Becoming More and More Unstable
When Wen Jin woke up, his mind was empty for a moment.
Except for the time when he arrived at Chu State after seven consecutive days of traveling, he fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion. In recent years, he rarely slept so well, so that his mind was still a little fuzzy when he just woke up.
The fragrance of agarwood drifted into his nose, and Wen Jin realized why he slept too deeply. His expression changed slightly, and he stood up and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of the inner room, he saw Yan Qing sitting in front of the window. Wen Jin paused, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
His eyes fell on the cold and unworldly face. Wen Jin looked at it greedily for a long time before lowering his eyes: "Your Highness."
"What are you in a hurry to do?" Yan Qing put down the book and raised his eyes slightly, "You are getting more and more unstable."
Indeed, he is not very stable.
Wen Jin nodded silently in agreement with this. Not only can he not be stable today, but he may not be able to be stable in the future.
"I've had a good rest." He found his voice and said humbly and gently, "I'm in good mental and physical condition."
Yan Qing hummed: "So?"
"Your Highness, do you want to cash in the 100 lashes now?"
"Do you really want to be beaten?" Yan Qing said indifferently.
Wen Jin thought about it and didn't think so.
Although he thought being beaten was a good thing two days ago, as long as he could stay with the Highness, even if he was beaten or punished by her, it didn't matter, as long as he didn't drive him away.
But now he felt that it was better to stay with the Highness peacefully, read books, write, talk... Whether it was discussing business or saying some words of reprimand, he liked it.
But if there was no sufficient reason, how could the Highness keep him by his side?
Wen Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, but this sad mood lasted for a short time, and he quickly relaxed his eyebrows.
It doesn't matter.
As long as Yan Chen is pulled off the throne and His Highness sits on it legitimately, he can always stay with His Highness and they won't have to separate again in this life.
So before the deadline for suppressing the rebellion ends, he should speed up and make progress faster.
"Have you been very fond of wandering recently?"
Wen Jin came back to his senses and subconsciously admitted his mistake: "I deserve to die."
"Go wash up."
"Yes."
Wen Jin turned and left temporarily.
Yan Qing frowned and stared at his back, and found that this person seemed to like to be in a daze recently?
When Wen Jin washed up, he found that his hands had been swollen. He stared at his palms, thinking.
However, the loss of consciousness was only a moment, and he quickly turned back to the window, "I'll make tea for His Highness."
Yan Qing hummed, and Wen Jin's mood became better and better. He quickly prepared the tea set and tea leaves and made a pot of tea for Yan Qing again.
It was still a set of smooth tea-making movements, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
Yan Qing took two teacups, rolled up his sleeves and took the teapot from him. With such a close action, it was inevitable that their fingers would touch each other.
Wen Jin was slightly startled, and let Yan Qing take the teapot from his hand.
The clear tea poured into the teacup from the mouth of the pot. Yan Qing put down the teapot and pointed to the seat opposite him: "Sit down and taste tea with me."
Wen Jin lowered his eyes, responded respectfully, and sat down opposite Yan Qing.
The tea went into his throat, and the sweet and clear taste filled his entire mouth. Wen Jin seemed to have not tasted such a good tea for a long time.
"How does it taste?"
Wen Jin put down the teacup, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. If he said that the tea was good, wouldn't it be self-praise?
After pondering for a moment, he said: "What His Highness likes must be excellent."
Whether it is self-praise or not, the mood of tasting tea is different, and the taste is naturally different.
Wen Jin's mood at this time is very good. Even if he drinks boiled water, he will feel that it is the best delicacy in the world.
Yan Qing lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea: "Where do you think you are inferior to Xiao Jinghan?"
Wen Jin was startled, and instantly raised his eyes: "Your Highness?"
"Answer me."
Wen Jin frowned, and without thinking, he said: "Family background and origin."
"Family background and origin are important?"
Wen Jin shook his head: "Not important."
It's just that His Highness asked, so he naturally needs to answer. In his opinion, Xiao Jinghan is better than him in family background, but he is useless in other aspects.
"Then answer again, where is the difference between you and Xiao Jinghan?" Yan Qing said lazily, "Think about it first."
Wen Jin was silent for a moment, pursed his lips and said: "I don't think I am worse than him."
Yan Qing said lightly: "Really?"
"Most of the famous families were white-clothed hundreds of years ago." Wen Jin said in a low voice, "If I gain fame and fortune, hundreds of years later, the Wen family will also become a famous family."
Yan Qing hummed, and did not oppose his point of view.
However, Wen Jin quickly said, "It's just that I won't get married, so there will never be a Wen family in the imperial city."
Yan Qing's mouth twitched, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him suddenly became subtle.
Wen Jin didn't notice Yan Qing's look, he just lowered his eyes and thought, Xiao Jinghan is a damned person, no matter he was born in a military family or a royal family, he is destined to have no good results in this life.
It takes hundreds of years and generations of efforts to build a prominent family, but it only takes a moment for this family to disappear from the imperial capital.
If you ask yourself where is the difference between him and me?
Wen Jin never thinks that he is inferior, he can easily kill Xiao Jinghan and make him live a life worse than death, but Xiao Jinghan will never know why he ended up like this until his death.
Even in his previous life, Wen Jin did not think that he was worse than Xiao Jinghan.
The biggest reason for his mistakes was not that he was not as good as Xiao Jinghan, but because of his own cowardice and inferiority. If he had not deceived himself and escaped, thinking that not disturbing him was the best way to fulfill His Highness, he would never have let His Highness live so miserably in his previous life.
When he thought of this, the fact inevitably poked the thorn in his heart, and Wen Jin could not help but be stunned.
The previous life was the biggest pain in his heart, and he could not forget it for the rest of his life. He knew that he should look forward, but he regretted it every time he thought about it.
"Where do you think I am worse than Yan Chen?"
Wen Jin came back to his senses, and was a little slow to react to the question asked by Yan Qing, and frowned slightly: "Your Highness is not worse than him."
How could Your Highness be worse than that waste Yan Chen?
"Yan Chen is the emperor, and I am just a princess." Yan Qing said calmly, "Even if she is named the eldest princess, she is still not as good as the emperor."
Wen Jin said calmly: "The throne will belong to your highness sooner or later."
Yan Qing raised her lips: "So you think that identity and power are not the most important, because the present does not represent the future, and there are too many variables in the future, right?"
A century-old family can be wiped out in the blink of an eye, and a commoner can create a prosperous family. Today's emperor can become a king of a fallen country tomorrow.
The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit, which is an eternal truth.
Wen Jin nodded: "Yes."
Yan Qing looked at him for a moment, slowly raised his hand and stroked his forehead.
So, Langya's judgment was not completely correct, and it was not as good as the information she asked in a few words.
