164 You can use it to fool me
Mingluo's gaze fell on Cui Jing's face first.
With just one glance, she could sense the difference he was at the moment.
Although the young man still didn't have much expression on his face, the eyebrows, eyes and facial features that usually gave people a very unapproachable feeling were now unleashed cold, such a subtle but innegligible change in demeanor, she had only seen him when he faced that person-
Therefore, before Ming Luo's gaze looked at the person beside him, he already had an answer in his heart.
When I saw the person who was pretending to be a teenager, I only had a sense of "sure enough".
Sure enough, it was Chang Suining.
It can only be Chang Sui Ning.
Mingluo's gaze retracted silently for only a moment, turned to look at Cui Jing, and calmly saluted: "Cui Dadudu." β
Cui Jing also looked at her: "Ming Nushi." β
Mingluo had a decent smile on his face: "I am ordered by Your Majesty to come to discuss the details of the Chongyang ancestor worship with Governor Cui Dadu. β
"Governor Cui has official business, so he doesn't have to send him off." Chang Suining said in a timely manner: "I'll leave first." β
Cui Jing nodded first, and when she saw her raising her feet to leave, she suddenly said, "That's rightβ"
Chang Sui Ning looked at him.
Cui Jing said: "I prepared a birthday gift for Ah Dian's seniors, but I was not in Beijing that day, why don't you bring it back, and then transfer it to my predecessors on the same day, how about it?" β
Chang Sui Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Okay." β
Ah Dian's birthday was the day before the Chung Yeung Festival, and when she picked Ah Dian back, the copper lock he was wearing had the eight characters on it.
But she didn't expect that Cui Jing even knew this, and remembered to prepare a birthday gift for Ah Dian in advance.
He treated the old people and old things of the Xuance Mansion so attentively, even if she was at the beginning, she was about to be ashamed of herself.
And I remember one year in the army, when she was in a daze in the tent to the sand table, Wu Ji brought a bowl of noodles to her, she ate and went to be busy again, the next day when she was free, only to ask Wu Ji why he suddenly wasted time and effort to make noodles yesterday, Wu Ji was stunned, and she said that of course she wanted to eat noodles on her birthday, and she asked who had a birthday, Wu Ji was stunned again - of course it was Your Royal Highness!
It dawned on her that yesterday was her birthday.
Therefore, when she gets busy, she always forgets these things.
Speaking of which, the bamboo dragonfly that Ah Dian has brought with him so far was touched by Ah Dian on his birthday one year as a birthday gift.
In contrast, in such matters, Cui Jing is more reliable than her.
Cui Jing told Yuan Xiang to fetch the things, and asked Chang Suining: "Do you want to go to the front hall to sit down for tea?" β
"No need." Chang Suining casually pointed to the gazebo at the end of the path: "I'll just wait there." β
Cui Jing nodded.
Mingluo never squinted and never looked at Chang Suining, but she listened to every word between the two conversations, especially Cui Jing's words.
Following the demeanor that only he had when he treated Chang Suining, the way he spoke to Chang Suining now and his tone were completely different from those he treated others.
She thought that she would push Chang Sui Ning to the position of crown princess as soon as possible, but she could block the bad omen on him in time, but she never thought that she would push him to Chang Sui Ning faster...... It's true, the world is impermanent.
Ming Luo didn't show any strange looks, and only went to the study outside Xuance Mansion with Cui Jing to discuss matters.
It was not the first time that the Xuan Ce Army had been escorting the Holy Driver, and the charter arrangements were all there, so there was not much to discuss.
After everything was quickly agreed, Cui Jing said: "There is no need to trouble Ming Nushi to come in person for such matters, and in the future, you only need to ask the palace envoy to convey it." β
His temperament and style have always been like this, Ming Luo is already accustomed to it, but thinking about his words and deeds towards Chang Sui Ning, his state of mind at this moment cannot be as waveless as usual.
After a while, she said: "It's a matter of the safety of the holy car, don't dare to treat it carelessly." β
Cui Jing was noncommittal, closed the official document of the charter in his hand, and was about to send off the guests when he suddenly heard Mingluo, who was sitting there, say: "Speaking of which, I am very curious about the matter, and I want to ask Governor Cui Dadu to explain his doubts." β
Cui Jing looked up at her.
In the end, he was discussing the matter of the holy drive, and the details should not be leaked, so at this moment, in the huge outer study, in addition to one of Cui Jing's henchmen, there were only Cui Jing and Mingluo.
Mingluo smiled slightly, and asked curiously in the same tone as he did with his acquaintance: "I don't know what kind of Chang family girl you like about Governor Cui?" β
Cui Jing didn't seem to expect her to ask about this, and after being slightly stunned, she replied without evasion or hesitation: "All." β
Mingluo smiled slightly.
Favorite ...... All?
Including the other party's willful flamboyance and self-righteousness?
She sounded funny, but she didn't comment, but asked again: "But the girl of the Chang family claims to have no intention of treating Cui Dadudu...... In this way, does Governor Cui really want to waste his life for it? β
Cui Jing: "Even without her, I had no intention of marrying a wife, and I couldn't talk about the things I chose." β
Mingluo just smiled.
Therefore, what he means is that without Chang Sui Ning appearing, he will only be alone, and he will not choose other people, for him to be alone, it is the norm to be alone, and wanting to marry Chang Sui Ning is an exception, right?
But she doesn't think that there will only be one person in this life and make an exception.
If there is an exception, there will be a second time, and if there is a first person, there will be a second person.
"It's a good thing that Governor Cui can meet the person he likes." She said slowly: "I can also see that Governor Cui Dadu treats the lady of the Chang family with sincerity, but the word sincerity needs to be given to those who are sincere, and it is not a mistake to pay ......."
She paused for a moment before she said: "I have no prejudices against the lady of the Chang family, but since she has rejected Cui Dadu in public, I have come to find Cui Dadu Governor today, I don't know what I think?" β
Cui Jing casually went to sort out the official documents around him, and said, "She didn't come to look for me today. β
Mingluo smiled.
And he believed that?
"I'm a woman, so I naturally understand women better, ...... such a rhetoric" She stopped halfway through her words, and there was no half-point in her tone, only reminded with the posture of a bystander: "Looking at what the Chang family girl did, she is indeed not a simple-minded and pure person. β
Cui Jing raised his eyes slightly and looked at her: "Why does Cui have to like people with simple and pure minds." β
It is rare to find a truly pure person in this world, but what really attracts him is never the simple and pure color of the shallow water, what he looks up to and yearns for has always been the soul that is thick and firm, and there is a thousand blazing lights hidden under the thickness, and dares to confront fear without giving up.
Since that blizzard, he has known how to admire the powerful, and he is destined to be only summoned by those who are strong enough to make him look up, and those who look down for him are all ordinary creatures in his eyes, he can pity and protect each other, but he can never give birth to the slightest feeling that touches the heartstrings.
So, he may have been attracted to her a long time ago.
Starting from her fearlessness in the face of the gods, from the murderous intent that attacked him when she was drunk, from the beginning when she sat outside the Dengtai Tower to accompany the two little beggars to eat steamed buns, many, many ......
Whether she was that person or not, what she had now was a soul that would naturally dazzle him.
At this moment, between the Q&A with Mingluo, Cui Jing, who suddenly realized this, looked down at the tea in the teacup in his hand, and his heart also had a layer of waves.
Hearing this, Mingluo's heart couldn't be calm.
"People are born with different temperaments, there is no distinction between high and low, and it is not possible to say that only people with simple and pure minds are worthy of being liked, and Governor Cui also misunderstood what I meant." She first agreed with Cui Jing, and then said: "I just don't want to see the possibility of being used and fooled by Governor Cui's sincerity, so I took the liberty to remind one or two." β
That Chang Sui Ning clearly rejected him in public, but he always appeared in front of him, what is this not using foolery?
Cui Jing looked at her: "Even though she came to use it to fool me, I don't care." β
The matter of the flower banquet was originally promoted by him, and if he really said anything about using it, he also recommended it to her to use it.
Mingluo's eyelashes trembled, and he even suspected that he had auditory hallucinations.
What?
What was he saying that was irrational?
Is this still the same Cui Jing who has always been calm and self-controlled, has never made mistakes, and has no weaknesses before and after?
Therefore, he didn't know that Chang Suining was impure, but was willing to be fooled by the other party?
At this moment, Ming Luo only felt that the person in front of him seemed to have fallen into evil.
He was sober and calm, with no emotional ups and downs, and there was no trace of chaos in his eyes.
It's still that person, but how can you just ......
Cui Jing finally said: "In any case, these are private matters between me and her, so I won't bother with the female history." β
If it weren't for the suspicion that Mingluo's mention of this matter today was the sage's instruction to test the truth of his mind, he would not have said half a word.
"Yes......" Mingluo lowered his eyes: "I am presumptuous today, and I hope that Governor Cui will not take it to heart." β
Cui Jing was speechless.
Because of his self-esteem, Mingluo couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and raised his hand to say goodbye.
Her face was always calm and decent, but her heart was already turbulent.
She thought that as long as she knew the reason why he liked Chang Suining, she would have a chance to destroy that reason, but his liking had no reason, no reason, and even no principle!
Mingluo forced himself to calm down.
She didn't believe that there really was a liking in this world for no reason.
He had been very close to Chang Kuo since before he commanded the Xuan Ce Army, if he was really destined to be attracted by Chang Suining, why did he have only been so late in getting his mind?
When did he start to be different from Chang Suining?
Many images flashed through Mingluo's mind, and during this, she thought of the starting point when she really began to pay attention to Chang Suining...... It was when Chang Suining began to deliberately imitate the eldest princess of Chongyue!
The secret in the Heavenly Maiden Tower of Dayun Temple, she and Cui Jing are both insiders, and Cui Jing is even the person who participates in it, so he knows a lot about Chongyue, and over the years, she can feel his admiration for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess-
Therefore, was he attracted to the other party because he saw the shadow of the eldest princess Chongyue in Chang Suining?
This thought made Mingluo's heart suddenly rise with unwillingness anger, and the panic that she could barely face - Cui Jing would be attracted to Chang Suining instead of her, does that mean...... Chang Sui Ning is more like her than her?
Coupled with the words of the Heavenly Mirror National Master, my aunt has also mentioned Chang Suining recently, intentionally or unintentionally, and even my aunt seems to be gradually guessing closer to that matter......
But where is Chang Suining more like her?
In addition to the handwriting, what else is the other party like?
Because she couldn't figure it out, she felt more and more uneasy and flustered.
She hadn't felt so flustered in all these years, and she was destined to panic only over this one thing.
She may not really love Cui Jing, and she may not really care about her aunt's gaze, but if she wants to go up instead of being beaten back to her original form, then she must keep her foothold.
That's what she's all about, and she knows it very well.
At least it was, and it still is......
She couldn't let anyone else shake it up and snatch it until she had enough leverage to completely take off the cloak called Shadow.
Mingluo didn't know how far she had walked, until a figure appeared in front of her in her sight.
The figure was particularly dazzling in her eyes at this time.
"Chang Xiaolangjun...... When will you come to see the grenade again? Yuan Xiang asked in a low voice when he sent Chang Suining across the threshold of the Xuance Mansion.
"Come here when you're free." Chang Suining stopped outside Xuance Mansion and took the box held by Yuan Xiang: "You have worked hard today. β
Yuan Xiang hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "It's not hard, it's not hard, my subordinates are looking forward to you coming over every day...... Come and see the grenade! β
Chang Sui Ning also smiled: "Okay, you go in and get busy." β
Yuan Xiang nodded, said goodbye, and happily turned around and went back to the Xuance Mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Ming Luo walking out with the maid, so he avoided one side and saluted with a smile: "Ming Nushi walks slowly." β
Mingluo nodded, but did not stop at his feet.
Chang Suining walked to the carriage, Xi'er got out of the carriage, took the box in the hands of her own girl with one hand, and opened the curtain with the other.
When Chang Suining was getting into the carriage, he only heard a voice coming from behind him: "Chang Niangzi stays." β
Chang Sui Ning turned his head and saw that it was Ming Luo.
She raised her hand to the other party: "Ming Nushi." β
Mingluo looked at the girl who saluted calmly to him, and his voice couldn't hear joy and anger: "I don't know if Chang Niangzi can move to the teahouse with me and sit down?" β
Chang Suining's gaze crossed the Xuance Mansion, which covered an extremely wide area, and said, "The nearest teahouse here is about two quarters of an hour long. β
When she retracted her gaze, her eyes fell on Mingluo's carriage, and she casually proposed, "The female history's carriage seems to be spacious enough, I don't know if you can enter it?" β
Mingluo tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly.
She didn't bother to say more than half a word to the other party before, but now she took the initiative to invite her, but the other party looked like she was afraid of trouble and wanted to save trouble, and she really didn't know what to say.
Where is such a person like Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who is flawless in the eyes of the world and praised by the world?
The other party didn't know what to say, but she didn't have to worry about this trivial matter, so she nodded generously: "It's okay." β
The two of them got into the carriage one after the other.
Not long after getting into the car and sitting down, Chang Suining once again had that indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
But this time, she seemed to have found an answer to the source of the indescribable strange feeling she had had since she first met Mingluo.
Mingluo didn't let the maid follow her into the car, and at this moment, she and Chang Suining were the only ones sitting opposite each other in the car.
"I don't know why the history of the Ming woman wants to talk to me?" Chang Suining asked.
