Chapter 121 Let Me Be Quiet

Yan Qing then realized how important it is to communicate in a timely manner.

In the previous life, it was because he talked less and taught more - he taught the Four Books and Five Classics, taught chess, calligraphy and painting, taught the art of war and strategy, taught the prince's demeanor, and even taught many rules.

Yan Qing asked someone to hire several powerful teachers for Wen Jin, who taught him all the skills that made him superior to others.

But the number of actual face-to-face conversations between her and Wen Jin was actually very few. One only knew the requirements, and the other was only responsible for complying.

So regardless of other people, the ultimate culprit that caused the seven-year tragedy in her previous life was actually herself. Even if Wen Jin was responsible, the responsibility was caused by Yan Qing himself.

Yan Qing began to reflect deeply on himself.

Wen Jin raised her eyes and looked at Yan Qing's quiet and indifferent face, her heart sank slightly: "Your Highness."

"Let me be quiet for a while." Yan Qing raised her hands to cover her eyes, leaned on the couch without saying a word, closed her eyes and meditated.

Wen Jin then sat aside and began to behave like a quiet and elegant nobleman.

Yan Qing thought alone for a while.

Wen Jin didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't ask any questions. Even her sitting posture was impeccable.

During this period, his eyes fell on Yan Qing's face from time to time, wanting to know what His Highness was thinking. Her expression didn't look like she was angry or sad, so Wen Jin's mentality at this time was actually pretty good. She didn't feel anxious or uneasy. Worry worry.

He sat quietly, occasionally picking up the tea cup and taking a sip.

After sipping a cup of tea, Yan Qing finally pulled away from his thoughts, and his voice was calm after deep thought: "Wen Jin, there is something I want to make clear to you."

Wen Jin stood up: "Your Highness."

Yan Qing watched his movements and couldn't help but reflect on herself again, how well she taught him the rules.

"sit."

Wen Jin responded and sat down again.

"After I got married to Xiao Jinghan, the reason why I didn't see you often was not because I deliberately avoided you or because I was afraid that you would disturb my peaceful life." Yan Qing said calmly, "I just thought that letting go would be better for you. I don’t want to be too restrictive and avoid others being suspicious of you.”

They all knew who the others were referring to.

Wen Jin was startled, and the regret that had just subsided in his heart spread again. He lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, and the corners of his lips turned white.

Yan Qing raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brow: "I was too harsh on you before. It's not that I don't know how to be gentle. It's because you were in a special situation at that time and had to use some extraordinary means. I was young at the time. I have never dealt with this kind of situation——"

"Your Highness." Wen Jin stood up and lowered his eyes, "I know. I know everything. Your Highness does not need to explain to me."

Yan Qing's expression was a little uncomfortable. She was really not used to explaining anything.

But during the half day that Wen Jin fell asleep, she kept thinking that it was because she said too little in her previous life that they both stubbornly believed that what they thought in their hearts was right.

He thought that not disturbing her meant he was being cautious, and she thought that he was successful if he had a smooth and worry-free career. But neither of them thought what each other wanted, and too much silence led to the final tragic ending.

In fact, although Yan Qing was not good at poisoning in his previous life, he was good at both civil and military skills, and Wen Jin was trained to be proficient in everything. However, they were as close as they were in Suzaku City - even though they were not married and did not live in the same mansion, it was just a matter of time. We meet often and chat a few words.

Yan Chen would have no chance of planning to harm them, and even Xiao Jinghan's plan to poison her would never succeed.

Money can't buy it, I already knew it.

The tragedies of the past were punishments for their self-righteousness, and a new life would give them a chance to make amends.

Yan Qing had no intention of making the same stupid mistake again.

"The past has passed. Whether it was a nightmare or not, after waking up from the dream, it is just a void." Yan Qing said calmly, "I don't want to be immersed in the past, and I hope you will be the same."

Wen Jin was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes."

"I have told you before, don't belittle yourself."

Wen Jin narrowed her eyes: "Yes, I remember."

"But you still committed it."

Wen Jin understood that she was referring to the conversation in Chu State, and whispered: "I know I was wrong."

"If your inferiority complex is not because of your origin or family background, but just because you are in front of me, then I guess it is because you have always been too high-minded and have cast a shadow on you——"

"No, it's not." Wen Jin quickly denied, "It's not His Highness's business."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Why is that?"

Wen Jin pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before saying: "At that time, I just knew that His Highness was not very happy and did not want to make His Highness continue to be angry, so I followed His Highness's words."

"So?" Yan Qing said calmly, "You have never had such an idea?"

Wen Jin stopped talking again.

"Do you still remember what I said yesterday?" Yan Qing smiled lightly, "I will spare a month to rectify your bad habits."

Wen Jin hesitated for a while: "Can I tell the truth?"

"Um."

"I just want to stay with His Highness. I don't care at all whether I can become the First Assistant and whether my future is limitless." Wen Jin said in a low voice, "I know that such an idea does not live up to His Highness's expectations, but... …”

"So you don't want to continue being the first assistant?"

Wen Jin shook his head: "That's not what I meant."

Yan Qing looked at him without saying a word.

"I will continue to do it." Wen Jin kept staring at the tip of his shoes exposed under the hem of his robe. "If Your Highness wants that chair, I will grab it for Your Highness and get it in a legitimate way, so the position of Prime Minister cannot be lost for the time being."

Yan Qing raised his hand and waved: "Come here."

Wen Jin hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"Sit here." Yan Qing patted the seat next to him.

Wen Jin's expression was slightly stiff, "I dare not offend Your Highness."

"Then kneel down." Yan Qing was easy to talk to.

Wen Jin knelt down with his eyebrows lowered.

"I misunderstood you before. Although you are not very obedient, in essence, not being trusted is indeed more hurtful." Yan Qing reached out and rubbed his head, "So in order to compensate you, you can make three requests to me within three days, any request is fine. As long as you make it, I can agree to it."

Wen Jin was shocked and suddenly speechless.

Yan Qing waited for a while, but didn't hear him speak. She lowered her eyes and saw that he was in a daze. She stretched out a finger and poked his forehead: "What are you thinking about?"
