Chang'an is good

Chapter 165 You Can Use It To Fool Me
Ming Luo's eyes first fell on Cui Jing's face.

With just one glance, she noticed the difference in him at the moment.

Although the young man still didn't have much expression on his face, his brows, eyes and facial features, which usually give people a feeling of being extremely inaccessible, have now lost their sternness. Such subtle but unignorable changes in expression, she is alone in his eyes. When facing that person, I saw——

Therefore, before Ming Luo looked at the person beside him, he already had the answer in his heart.

When I saw the person pretending to be a boy, I was left with a feeling of "sure enough".

It really was Chang Suining.

It can only be Chang Sui Ning.

Ming Luo looked away silently for a moment, turned to look at Cui Jing, and calmly held his hands in salute: "Cui Dadu."

Cui Jing also looked at her: "Nv Shi of Ming Dynasty."

Ming Luo had a modest smile on his face: "I am ordered by His Majesty to come here to discuss the details of Chongyang ancestor worship with Governor Cui."

"Since Governor Cui has official duties, there is no need to send him off." Chang Suining said in a timely manner: "I will take my leave first."

Cui Jing nodded first, then suddenly said when she saw that she was about to leave, "That's right——"

Chang Suining looked at him.

Cui Jing said: "I prepared a birthday gift for senior Ah Dian, but I'm not in Beijing that day, why don't you take it back and hand it over to senior for me on that day, how about it?"

Chang Suining nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

Ah Dian's birthday was the day before the Double Ninth Festival. When she picked him up, the copper lock on his body had the Chinese character "birth date" written on it.

But she didn't expect that Cui Jing even knew this, and remembered to prepare a birthday gift for A Dian in advance.

He treats the old people and old things of Xuan Ce Mansion with so much care, even if it was her back then, she almost feels ashamed.

And I remember that one year in the army, when she was staring at the sand table in a daze in the tent, Wujue brought her a bowl of noodles, and she ate it whole and then went back to work. Asking Wujue why he suddenly took so much time and effort to make noodles yesterday, Wujue was taken aback for a moment, and told her that noodles must be eaten for her birthday, and then she asked whose birthday it was, Wujue was taken aback again—of course it is Your Highness!

It dawned on her that yesterday was her birthday.

Therefore, when she gets busy, she always forgets about these things.

Speaking of which, the bamboo dragonfly that Ah Dian has brought with her so far was a temporary gift that she picked up on Ah Dian's birthday one year.

In contrast, Cui Jing is more reliable than her in such matters.

Cui Jing asked Yuan Xiang to fetch the things, and then asked Chang Suining, "Can you sit in the front hall and have tea?"

"No need." Chang Suining pointed to the gazebo at the end of the path, "I'll just wait there."

Cui Jing nodded.

Ming Luo never looked sideways at Chang Suining, but she listened to every word of the conversation between the two, especially Cui Jing's words.

Following the demeanor he only had when he was dealing with Chang Suining, the way and tone of his words with Chang Suining are completely different from those with others.

She thought that pushing Chang Suining to the position of Crown Princess as soon as possible would stop the bad omen in him in time, but she never thought that pushing him to Chang Suining would be faster... It's true, things are impermanent.

Ming Luo never showed any strange look, and only went to the study outside Xuan Ce's mansion with Cui Jing to discuss matters.

It was not the first time that Xuan Ce's army escorted the holy driver to travel, and the rules and regulations were all there, so there was not much need for special discussion.

After everything was agreed upon quickly, Cui Jing said: "There is no need to bother the female history of the Ming Dynasty to come in person for such matters, and it is only necessary to have the palace envoy to convey it in the future."

His temperament and style have always been like this, and Ming Luo is used to it, but thinking about his attitude towards Chang Suining just now, his state of mind at this moment cannot be as calm as usual.

After a while, she said: "It's about the safety of Shengjia's travel, so I dare not treat it carelessly."

Cui Jing was noncommittal, closed the charter documents in his hands, and was about to see off the guests, when Ming Luo who was sitting there suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I am very curious about this matter, and I would like to ask Governor Cui to clarify my doubts."

Cui Jing looked up at her.

After all, they were discussing about Shengjia's trip, and the detailed rules should not be disclosed, so at this moment, in the huge outer study room, except for one of Cui Jing's confidants, there were only Cui Jing and Ming Luo.

Ming Luo smiled slightly, and asked curiously in the tone he used to treat acquainted friends: "I don't know what is Cui Dadu, the girl from the Chang family that I like?"

Cui Jing didn't seem to have expected that she would ask about this matter, after a moment of surprise, he replied without evasion or hesitation: "All of them."

Ming Luo smiled slightly.

Chang Suining's favorite...all?
Including the other party's self-righteous self-righteousness?

She sounded funny, but she didn't comment, she just asked again: "But the girl from the Chang family claims that she has no intention of treating Chief Cui... So, is Chief Cui really going to waste her life for her?"

Cui Jing: "Even without her, I had no intention of marrying a wife. It's not a waste of time to choose on my own."

Ming Luo just smiled.

So, what he meant was that without Chang Suining, he would be alone and would not choose anyone else. For him, being alone is the norm, and wanting to marry Chang Suining is an exception, right?

But she doesn't think that an exception will only be made for one person in this life.

For things like making an exception, if there is the first time, there will be a second time, and if there is the 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 treats the wife of the Chang family with sincerity, but the word "sincerity" needs to be given to a sincere person. Wrong payment..."

She paused for a moment, then said: "I don't have any prejudice against Mrs. Chang's family, but since she has rejected Chief Governor Cui in public, she came to look for Chief Executive Cui again today, I don't know what she thinks?"

Cui Jing casually sorted out the documents around her, and said in a low voice, "She didn't come to look for me today."

Ming Luo smiled.

How could he believe such words?

"I'm a woman, so I understand women better. I'm talking like this..." She stopped short in the middle of her sentence, her tone was not pointed at all, and she only reminded her with a clear attitude of a bystander: "Looking at what the girl from the Chang family has done, He is indeed not a person with a simple and pure mind.”

Cui Jing raised her eyes slightly and looked at her: "Why must Cui like people with simple and pure thoughts?"

It is hard to find someone with a truly pure mind in this world, but what really attracts him is never the simple and pure color. What he looks up to and yearns for has always been thick and firm, and there is a blazing radiance hidden under that thick, A soul that dares to confront fear without giving up.

After that blizzard, he knew how to admire strength, he was destined to be attracted only by those who were powerful enough to make him look up to, and those who looked down on him were all ordinary creatures in his eyes, he could pity and protect each other, But it can never give birth to the slightest feeling of touching the heartstrings.

So, he may have been attracted to her a long time ago.

Starting from her fearlessness when facing the idol, from her murderous intent to attack him when she was drunk, from her sitting outside the Dengtai Building and eating buns with those two little beggars, many, many...

Whether she was that person or not, what she had now was a soul that was born to dazzle him.

At this moment, between the question and answer with Ming Luo, Cui Jing, who suddenly realized this, lowered his eyes to look at the slightly swaying tea in the teacup at hand, and suddenly felt a wave of turmoil in his heart.

Hearing the present, Ming Luo couldn't calm down in his heart.

"People are born with different temperaments. There is no distinction between high and low. It can't be said that only those with simple and pure thoughts are worthy of being liked. Governor Cui also misunderstood my meaning." She agreed with Cui Jing first, and then said : "I just don't want to see the possibility of being used and fooled by Cui Dadu's sincerity, so I take the liberty to remind one or two."

That Chang Sui Ning clearly rejected him in public, but always appeared in front of him, what is it if it's not a trick?
Cui Jing looked at her: "Just use her to fool me, I don't care."

He tried his best to bring about the flower banquet, and if Zhenruo said to use it, he recommended her to use it.

Ming Luo's eyelashes trembled, and he even suspected that he had auditory hallucinations.

what?
What the hell is he saying that doesn't make sense?

Is this still the Cui Jing who has always been calm and self-sufficient, never made mistakes, and has no weaknesses before or after?

So, it's not that he doesn't know that Chang Suining's mind is not pure, but he is willing to be fooled by the other party?
At this moment, Ming Luo only felt that the person in front of him seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit.

However, his expression was sober and calm, without any emotional ups and downs, and there was no trace of chaos in his eyes.

He was obviously still that person, but why did he just...

Cui Jing finally said: "In any case, these are all private matters between me and her, so I don't need to bother Ming Nv Shi."

If he hadn't suspected that Ming Luo's mention of this matter today was a sage's instruction to test the authenticity of his mind, he wouldn't have said a word more.

"Yes..." Ming Luo lowered his eyes: "I'm taking the liberty today, but I hope Governor Cui will not take it to heart."

Cui Jing nodded without saying a word.

Out of self-esteem, Ming Luo couldn't stay any longer, 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 has no reason, no reason, even no principle!
Ming Luo forced himself to calm down.

She doesn't believe that there is really no reason to like in this world.

He has been very close to Chang Kuo since before he led the Xuan Ce Army. If he was really destined to be attracted to Chang Suining, why did he take so long to make up his mind?
When did the difference between him and Chang Suining begin?

Many images flashed through Ming Luo's mind quickly. During this time, she thought of the starting point when she really started to pay attention to Chang Suining... It was when Chang Suining began to intentionally imitate Princess Chongyue!
She and Cui Jing are both insiders of the secrets in the Tiannv Pagoda of Dayun Temple, and Cui Jing is even a person involved in it, so he knows a lot about Chongyue, and after many years, she can feel his love for that elder. The admiration of Her Royal Highness——

So, was he attracted to Chang Suining because he saw the shadow of Princess Chongyue in Chang Suining?

Together with this thought, Ming Luo's heart was suddenly filled with anger called unwillingness, and a panic that she could hardly face-Cui Jing would be attracted by Chang Suining instead of her, does that mean...Chang Suining is more attractive than her more like?

Coupled with Tianjing Guoshi's words, my aunt will also mention Chang Suining intentionally or unintentionally recently, and even my aunt seems to be gradually guessing closer to that matter...

But how does Chang Suining look like her?
Apart from the handwriting, what other resemblance does the other party have?

Just because she couldn't figure it out, she felt more uneasy and flustered.

She has never felt so flustered in these years, and she is destined to panic only because of this incident.

She may not really love Cui Jing so much, 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 shape, then she must hold on to the foundation of her foothold.

That was her essence, she knew it.

At least it was, and still is...

Before she has enough bargaining chips to completely take off the coat called shadow, she cannot let others sway and take it away.

Ming Luo didn't know how far she had walked, until a figure in front of her appeared in her sight.

That figure was particularly glaring in her eyes at this moment.

"Mr. Chang Xiaolang... When will you come to see Liuhuo again?" Yuan Xiang asked in a low voice as he sent Chang Suining across the threshold of Xuan Ce Mansion.

"Come here when you're free." Chang Suining stopped outside Xuan Ce's mansion, and took the box in Yuan Xiang's hand: "You've been working so hard today."

Yuan Xiang hurriedly smiled and waved his hands: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work, my subordinates are looking forward to your coming every day... come to watch Duo Huo!"

Chang Suining also smiled: "Alright, go in and get busy."

Yuan Xiang nodded, cupped his hands and said goodbye, then happily turned around and went back to Xuan Ce Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Ming Luo coming out with the maid, so he avoided the side and saluted with a smile: "Ms. Ming, go slowly."

Ming Luo nodded, without stopping.

Chang Suining walked to the carriage, Xi'er got out of the carriage, took the box from his girl with one hand, and opened the curtain with the other.

When Chang Sui Ning was getting into the carriage, he heard a voice coming from behind him: "Chang Niang, please stay."

Chang Suining turned around, only to see Ming Luo.

She raised her hand to the other party: "Nv Shi of Ming Dynasty."

Ming Luo looked at the girl who was calmly saluting to him, with no emotion in his voice: "Madam Chang, can you follow me to the teahouse and sit down?"

Chang Suining looked across the vast Xuance Mansion, and said, "The nearest teahouse is about two quarters of an hour away."

When she looked away, her eyes fell on Ming Luo's carriage, and she casually suggested, "Nv Shi's carriage looks spacious enough, may I come in and talk about it?"

Ming Luo pulled the corner of his mouth slightly.

She didn't bother to talk 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 trying to save trouble, she really didn't know what to say.

How could such a person look like the princess, who was flawless in the eyes of the world and was praised by the world?
The other party didn't know what to say, but she didn't have to worry about such a trivial matter, so she nodded generously: "That's fine."

The two got into the carriage one after another.

Not long after entering the car and sitting down, Chang Suining felt that indescribable strange feeling again.

But this time, she seemed to have found the answer to the source of the inexplicable feeling of weirdness that she had had when she first met Ming Luo.

Ming Luo didn't let the maid follow into the car, at the moment she and Chang Sui Ning were the only two sitting opposite each other in the car.

"I don't know why Ming Nvshi wanted to tell me about it?" Chang Suining asked.

　Cui. Ordinary. Anti-bone. Mu Qiangnao. Chief Governor: She can use it to fool me.

　　Ming Luo: Who taught him to fall in love like this? ? ? ?
