Chapter 11: Small Talk
Margaret's beauty is not the first time that she has been coveted by other men, but Liu Chengying's eyes are not only desired, but also a little more sorrowful, and they are not even very annoying.
Although she doesn't resent being looked at like this by Liu Chengying, after all, Margaret is still an untrained girl, and she will always be a little annoyed when she is stared at so unscrupulously by that person.
"Oh~ For God's sake, Liu, is it really okay for you to look at me like this?"
Liu Chengying, who was caught in the memory, was interrupted from thinking and couldn't help frowning. He sighed lightly and said to Margaret with a little sentimentality: "The foreign minister has lost his temper, I hope His Highness will forgive me." ”
Margaret looked at Liu Chengying, who looked gloomy, her heart tightened inexplicably, and she put her unhappiness behind her, but asked a little nervously: "Liu, what's wrong with you, did I make you unhappy?"
Liu Chengying smiled reluctantly, "Your Highness, it's none of your business, the minister just remembered some of the past." ”
Although he tried his best to hide his emotions, it was a pity that Margaret saw it. Maybe women are born with an advantage in this area, and can be keenly aware of other people's emotional fluctuations.
For the man in front of her, who was likely to become her husband, she unconsciously felt a trace of concern from the bottom of her heart, "Liu, can you tell me?"
Liu Chengying originally just wanted to perfunctory things, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but it aroused her interest. However, the strange thing is that he, who thinks that his heart has stopped like water, actually feels a throbbing in his heart.
He couldn't understand why this was the case, Margaret was just similar to Zhu Mingxi, and he could still tell it. But since it can be divided, what is the matter with this throbbing?
Liu Chengying was confused.
Margaret didn't wait for his reply for a long time, but saw that his eyes were blank and deep in thought, so she asked with concern, "Liu, what's wrong with you, is there something on your mind?"
Liu Chengying was called back to his soul again, but this time he didn't perfunctory Margaret again, but asked an inexplicable question, "Your Highness, can you tell the foreign minister that you believe in reincarnation?"
The doctrine only says that good souls go to God and evil souls go to Satan, but there is no reincarnation, Margaret was asked, so she shook her head and said with regret: "Liu, although I would like to answer your question, I don't know what you said about reincarnation. ”
Liu Chengying's purpose in asking this question is very simple, as long as Margaret says she doesn't believe it, then she can die. But he never thought about how he would deal with Margaret if she said she believed in reincarnation.
Fortunately, Margaret's ambiguous answer, although it did not dispel his thoughts of self-deception, also avoided the latter situation.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, and arched his hand and said, "The foreign minister is abrupt, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me." ”
Seeing that every time he said a word, he was about to bow his hand, and Margaret was amused, "Liu, are you Ming people so polite when you speak?"
Finally, there was no need to talk about those topics that made her embarrassed, and Liu Chengying immediately returned to normal, "Of course not, the foreign minister is like this to His Royal Highness, just abiding by the etiquette of the monarch and the minister." With that, he arched his hand again.
Margaret couldn't hold back, she laughed out loud, feeling her gaffe, she hurriedly blocked her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said with a smile: "Liu, you are such an interesting person, you don't have to be so polite to me, let's chat like ordinary people." Oh~ By the way, don't call me Your Highness anymore, just call me Mary. ”
Liu Chengying reflexively arched her hand, "How dare the foreign minister call His Royal Highness by name, the foreign minister ......"
"Hmph, that's it, you're a marquis, I'm a princess, you have to listen to me!" Margaret interrupted him angrily with a waving little fist, she really didn't understand this man, whether he was stupid or stupid, or stupid and stupid.
"Respectfully...... Uh, Mary, Mary......"
Seeing that he called out his nickname in embarrassment, Margaret nodded with satisfaction, "Liu, that's right, so that we can chat happily." ”
Liu Chengying sighed secretly, she couldn't understand why she was so accommodating to her, is this still the commander of Jinyi Weinan Town, who crisscrossed the seven seas and killed decisively?
"Liu, why are you in a daze again?"
"Uh, Minister...... I'm wondering where we're going. Liu Chengying found that she was distracted again, and hurriedly made up an excuse to cover up her embarrassment.
Margaret had already seen that he was a little absent-minded, but she didn't bother to point out this strange man, "Willow, I thought you wouldn't ask me this question." ”
"Temple...... Mary, I'm not not asking, I just believe that the place you are going to take me will definitely be a good place to go. ”
If men are born liars, then women are born polygraphers. Liu Chengyingying's lies that came out of her mouth were recognized by Margaret the moment she exited, but she still patiently accompanied Liu Chengying to act.
"Liu, I'm so happy! I didn't expect you to trust me so much. ”
Liu Chengying saw Margaret say this sentence with a happy expression, thinking that she believed that she had made up a lie casually, and then pretended to be flattered and said, "Mary, of course I believe you." By the way, where are we going?"
A woman is not only a natural lie detector, but also a natural actor. wants to fool in front of Margaret, who is also a lie detector and an actor, then Liu Chengying made a mistake in wishful thinking. Although she didn't want to break him, Margaret didn't have the intention of being such a cheap liar.
"Liu, you said that you believe in my choice, so why do you still ask me? There is some mystery, isn't it?"
Listening to Margaret say this sentence in a playful tone, Liu Chengying realized that people had already seen through the lie, but she still thought that she had been fooled. For a moment, Liu Chengying was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer her question.
Margaret was very satisfied with his reaction, and said to him proudly: "Liu, as a gentleman, you can't deceive my feelings~"
Liu Chengying replied with a wry smile, "Mary, I was wrong......"
Hannah, who was peeping outside the carriage, looked at the two people chatting about boring topics in the carriage, felt very bored, and muttered in her mouth: "Cut~ Two fools, don't you just go to the apple orchard to pick fruits, and make it mysterious~"
"Hey, I thought it was a good place to go, it turned out to be to pick apples!"
Hannah was startled by the sudden voice behind her, and quickly looked back, and found that it was Yang Qianhu who was talking, so she said to him angrily: "Big man, how can you eavesdrop on the conversation between the princess and the marquis?"
Yang Qianhu glanced at her and said disdainfully, "It seems that you eavesdropped first, right?"
