Hello Chang’an

Chapter 166 What does she know?

Mingluo's eyes fell on the girl opposite.

The other party was wearing a man's robe. There was no trace of makeup on his face. His hair was **** simply and casually. There were freshly dried water stains on his robe, shoes and boots. He didn't look like a daughter's family at all.

Strange to say, the other party clearly has a very outstanding face, and her appearance is stunning when wearing a skirt and top. She is indeed worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in the capital—

However, once the other party is dressed as a man, he does not need too much modification, and he actually looks like a real young man, and his behavior and temperament do not give people the slightest sense of disobedience.

When she first met Chang Sui Ning in Xuance Mansion, she failed to recognize the identity of his daughter's family at first.

Meeting Min Luo's silently scrutinizing gaze, Chang Sui Ning instinctively felt a sense of offense at being probed by the other party. There was no wave on her face, she just looked at Min Luo and spoke again: "If you have something to say in Ming Dynasty, you might as well speak up. "

"This is exactly what I want to say to Lady Chang." Mingluo looked into the girl's especially calm and calm eyes: "From copying Buddhist scriptures in Dayun Temple during the spring festival to painting in Dengtai Tower, Lady Chang The handwriting similar to that of Princess Chongyue has appeared in front of others many times. Can I tell you the purpose behind this? "

Chang Suining's eyes moved slightly, but he did not move his gaze. He asked without answering: "According to the female history of Ming Dynasty, what is my purpose?"

Mingluo's eyes were cold and his voice was slow: "Ms. Chang is deliberately imitating Princess Chongyue, right?"

Chang Suining heard it funny: "Can't you imitate it?"

That unfortunate guy Chong Yue didn't have anything rare or precious, so he just used it to imitate.

Mingluo seemed offended by her audacity and laughed with unknown meaning.

"Then I dare to ask why Mrs. Chang chose to imitate the eldest princess Chongyue? Mrs. Chang and her highness the eldest princess have clearly never met. If there must be some connection, Mrs. Chang was also rescued by the former prince, and she has no relationship with her eldest princess. Halfway through, Mrs. Chang always acted like she was destined to be with the eldest princess, and even made an agreement with Mrs. Duan to go to the eldest princess’s mansion to offer sacrifices on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival..."

Facing those eyes with condescending scrutiny and irony, Chang Suining showed a faint hint of surprise.

The other party said that "she" was saved by the former prince and had nothing to do with Chong Yue...

It seems that this Ming Dynasty female historian didn't know much about her unfortunate deeds.

Chang Suining's look of surprise fell in Mingluo's eyes, causing Mingluo to frown quickly - what was that expression?

The feeling of being unable to figure things out became even stronger, but the other party didn't respond at all to her questions... She even felt that Chang Suining probably knew some secret that she didn't know.

This feeling was not the first time. Over the years, she could vaguely sense from the secret in the Tiannv Tower that her aunt and Governor Cui had some reservations about Princess Chongyue... Although she was confused, because He was cautious and did not delve into it deeply.

But at this moment, she suddenly realized that in that blank space for her, it was very possible that Chang Sui Ning could see the truth!

Perhaps, that is Chang Suining’s advantage?

This thought made Mingluo feel restless, and she looked at the girl in front of her steadily: "You took so much pains to tie yourself to the name of Princess Chongyue, trying to attract the attention of the saint... What exactly do you want to get?

Chang Suining finally responded to her words, but asked: "Then what does the female history of the Ming Dynasty want?"

Mingluo suppressed his emotions and sneered: "I'm asking you now—"

"You ask, do I have to answer?" Chang Suining looked at the young female official in front of him and asked quietly: "In other words, what is the identity and position of the female history of the Ming Dynasty in questioning me? Is this the first of its kind?"

Mingluo's eyes trembled slightly, and his face suddenly sank: "What did you say?"

Chang Suining's eyes silently swept across the layout of the carriage.

As soon as she entered the carriage, her doubts were answered.

No wonder she felt weird when she met Mingluo for the first time. It turned out that the weird feeling was that when she looked at him, it was as if she was looking into a mirror, but water was poured on the mirror and it became foggy, changing and distorting the image in the mirror. She is an image, so the reflection in the mirror reflects her but is not her.

The person who is really imitating Chong Yue is Mingluo.

Perhaps this is the reason why Mingluo was selected by Empress Ming and was brought up by her side.

Before Mingluo spoke, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Mingluo did, nor did she feel offended, nor did she mean to expose it—

He is just a dead person, so it is no big deal if someone imitates him. She has also worked hard to imitate Ah Xiao. She is well versed in everything in this world. She can take advantage of what is available and use it for survival or gain. As long as she If you don't use it for evil, you don't need to be harshly punished.

But the way to master it is that you use me, everyone uses it, you are good, I am good, everyone is good, but the other party is me, I use it, only I can use it, I am good, I am good, only I can do it, and take what I have learned as a Don't allow others to touch your own things -

Such a gesture is very unflattering.

She looked at Mingluo, who was pale and restraining her annoyance: "Since we also learned it, how can we stand up to question others? If others imitate Princess Chongyue, they should be ridiculed and ostracized, then the female history of Ming Dynasty should be How do you think about yourself?”

Mingluo forced out a sneer through his teeth: "Are you teaching me how to do things now?"

"No, it's just that I don't want to accept the teachings from the Ming Dynasty."

Chang Suining stood up. The carriage was spacious and tall enough for her to stand up.

She slightly lowered her eyes, and finally looked at Mingluo: "What Ming Nu Shi said today is quite presumptuous, but I still want to explain to Ming Nu Shi that I have no intention of arguing with you, nor do I intend to do such ridiculous and meaningless things. To make enemies, you and I should go our own way without interfering with each other.”

"Having said this, if the Ming Dynasty's female historian insists on treating me as an enemy, then please feel free to do so."

Those who regard her as an enemy will naturally become an enemy in her eyes, and she has no chance of showing mercy to her enemies.

Chang Suining stopped looking at Min Luo's reaction, opened the curtains, and got out of the carriage.

When the car curtain fell, Mingluo tugged at the corner of his mouth that was trembling slightly due to suppressed anger.

Let each go its own way without interfering with each other?

But the other party has clearly disrupted her future plans and taken away what should be hers!

Now after Cui Jing, even my aunt's eyes are beginning to show signs of deviation...

She will never allow this!

How is Chang Sui Ning more like her?

Will the answer lie in the secret she doesn't know?

Or…

Mingluo lowered his eyes, his gaze suddenly fixed on the tea cup in front of him.

The tea on the small table has gone cold, and the clear tea soup reflects her sharp facial features due to the ups and downs of her emotions.

She immediately restrained her expression almost out of instinct, and tried her best to look calm and calm, but at this moment, another thought appeared in her mind uncontrollably—

Is it because Chang Suining is young enough to be more reminiscent of the eldest princess back then?

The eldest princess was twenty years old when she got married, and she is already twenty-one years old this year...

The dead never grow old, and she is destined to become increasingly different from the one in her aunt's memory...

What's more, Chang Sui Ning has appeared now!

Looking at her reflection in the tea, Mingluo was filled with panic and anger. She suddenly raised her hand and swung down the tea cup.

This movement startled the maid who had just got into the car: "Ms. Shi, this is..."

She has never seen a female history lose her composure like this.

Is it because of the Chang family lady who just left?

So the maid hurriedly said: "Female Shi, please calm down... That girl from the Chang family is young and unsophisticated. She has always been arrogant and rude. Now she probably has the support of Governor Cui, and she doesn't know what to say... The female Shi is the head of the county, why should she be the same as her?" …”

However, before she finished speaking, she saw Mingluo raising his eyes coldly, staring at her like a knife.

"You mean I'm older, right?" Mingluo asked word for word.

The maid, who had seen her look like this for the first time, turned pale and hurriedly knelt down: "This is not what I meant!" Mingluo closed her eyes tremblingly.

She didn't care about the external skin of so-called youth and beauty. What she wanted was not these superficial things, but she still had to rely on this skin to stay with her aunt.

As a concubine, she stayed in a remote and cold courtyard with her cowardly and incompetent aunt. She never wanted to go back to the days when she was ridiculed, bullied, manipulated and teased... She wanted to stand on a high place, not fall back into the mud.

When she opened her eyes, she breathed out slowly and silently, looked at the maid who was kneeling there in silence, and calmed down: "Get up."

The maid responded "Yes" and sat there on her knees with her head lowered to clean up the mess in the car.

The look just now still made her feel frightened, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Ming Luo.

What happened to the female history today?

…

Because of the war in Yangzhou, Emperor Shengce paid more and more attention to this trip to worship ancestors during the Double Ninth Festival. Almost all the clan officials and family members who could be named in the capital were accompanying them to show their sincerity in worshiping ancestors.

After Emperor Shengce led his ministers to leave the capital for the imperial mausoleum, Chang Sui Ning, who stayed behind, felt that most of the official residences in the capital were empty. She even felt that the city suddenly became quiet, like those who were surrounded by the whirlpool of power. The overt and covert fights are temporarily far away.

On the eve of the Double Ninth Festival, Chang Suining and A Dian sat on the stone steps and looked at the stars.

A Dian's belly was bulging, firstly because he had just eaten a bowl of longevity noodles, and secondly because he had a cute orange kitten under his robe.

It was Chang Suining's birthday gift to him today. From time to time, he would take it out, rub it on his face, and inhale it. He couldn't put it down and was so happy: "Little Li, how did you know that I like cats!"

"You told me last time." Chang Suining sat on the stone steps with his hands on his sides, tilting his head back slightly to look at the stars in the night sky.

A Dian laughed "Hey" and said, "Yeah, I don't even remember."

But the cute kitten moving around in the robe quickly attracted his attention. He couldn't think about it and said proudly: "...Now I also have a little raccoon slave!"

"By the way, what did Governor Cui give you?" Chang Suining asked casually.

After she handed the box to Xi'er that day, she forgot to take a peek on the way.

"That's it!" A Dian turned to face her and stretched out his two hands toward her like a big dog, with the backs of his hands facing up.

Only then did Chang Suining see a pair of black wrist armor on his wrist.

"Doesn't it look good? Look, there are cat paw prints on it!" A Dian showed off to her.

Chang Suining smiled and nodded: "Well, it's very powerful and suits you very well."

A Dian is good at boxing and practices boxing every day. Cui Jing gave him this wrist armor very carefully.

"With this, I can do one more set of punches every day."

"How many days until Xiao Suian can go home? I want to try his shooting skills."

"Little A Li, after celebrating your birthday, what should we do tomorrow?"

A Dian hugged his little raccoon slave and kept talking.

Chang Suining: "Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and we have to plant dogwood trees."

"How about planting the dogwood?"

"Have breakfast."

"Good breakfast, I also want to eat sweet porridge! What about after finishing the sweet porridge?"

"After finishing the sweet porridge, I want to go out." Chang Sui Ning said.

…

Early the next morning, Chang Sui Ning and Duan went to Princess Chongyue's mansion.

When getting off the carriage outside the eldest princess's residence, Chang Sui Ning, who was wearing a sky-blue cloak, held a few branches of dogwood in her arms, with green leaves and red fruits, like red beans.

Duan ordered the servants to carry down a large box they had brought: "Look carefully..."

Looking at the box, Chang Suining couldn't help but fell silent.

All household items are ready.

Duan asked people to carry the box containing the sacrificial objects into the eldest princess's mansion.

The female envoy from the eldest princess's palace had received the news in advance that Duan would come to offer sacrifices today, and at this moment she led people to the sacrifice hall.

Duan personally placed half of the sacrifices he had brought, and knelt down on the mat to kowtow as usual.

Chang Sui Ning followed suit, and since this was not the first time, his mood was basically stable.

"Mrs. Duan, I don't know how to put the rest...?" The female envoy from the eldest princess's palace looked at the other half of the sacrifices left in the box and asked.

"I want to put the rest in His Highness's courtyard." Mrs. Duan took the handkerchief and pressed the tears at the corners of her eyes, "Maybe it's the Double Ninth Festival, and these days I always dream about the days when I stayed in the courtyard to study with Your Highness. I wanted to go and have a look.”

The tears are real, and the desire to dig into the box is also real.

But reading in the yard is ridiculous.

Chang Suijing watched her pretend quietly.

Axiao once told her that when Duan Zhenyi was not in the study hall, whenever he held a book in his hand, he was always reading a storybook, and sometimes he would secretly change the book cover.

Duan came to offer sacrifices with the permission of the Holy Emperor. She proposed to go to the eldest princess's residence, so the female envoy naturally had no reason to stop her.

The female envoy led the way and led Duan and his party to Chongyue's residence.

Mrs. Duan was moved by the scene and shed tears again. After placing the sacrifices, she said she wanted to walk around the courtyard.

The female envoy no longer followed, but waited outside the courtyard.

Avoiding the female envoy, Duan wiped her tears, pulled Chang Suining around to the back wall of the courtyard, and whispered: "Let's quietly go out from here and walk around, so you can take a look." Which garden is it..."

Seeing her sneaky appearance, Chang Suining finally understood that Duan Zhenyi was a thief today.

She originally thought that Duan Zhenyi would dig out the box openly and openly as an excuse to retrieve the old things.

It would be better to be a thief at the moment. If you can hide everything and take the things away smoothly, you won't attract any attention, including tomorrow's. If it was exposed later, then Duan Zhenyi would be responsible for the shame. After all, it was Duan Zhenyi who took the thing and it had nothing to do with her junior.

If you think about it this way, it's really appropriate.

Chang Suining felt very at ease, after all, she was spending money to do things this time.

The two of them sneaked out of the back door with a servant holding the empty box.

Before going to bed today, I would like to recommend this sister’s book to everyone, "After breaking off the engagement, she went to the countryside and was pinched by a rough man and pampered." Ahem, don’t look at the title of the book, which is a bit shameful. The content is very good, give it a try~
