"Is it because of the pair of luminous pearls that the seventh lady, the grandson, invited me here?" In the pavilion, Chang Sui Ning sat down on the stone bench and asked straight to the point.
Changsun Xuan did not sit down, but looked at the girl with some surprise.
After a moment, he nodded calmly: "Exactly."
She looked at the girl sitting there, raised her eyebrows and said, "I like your pair of night pearls very much."
She obviously intended to test the other party's attitude with her words that seemed to be about competition, but unexpectedly the other party said calmly: "I also like that pair of beads very much, and I never give up what I like to others."
Changsun Xuan looked at the girl intently - so, are we about to declare war with her?
At this moment, I heard the girl say in a casual tone: "But I only like beads. I don't like anything else, and I don't want it."
Changsun Xuan was stunned for a while, then when she met those non-hostile eyes, she raised her lips slightly: "I don't want beads, I just want other things."
Chang Sui Ning nodded with an expression of "that's very good": "Then it depends on the capabilities of the eldest grandson Qiniang and your family."
Changsun Xuan was noncommittal and stood there looking at her doubtfully: "Are you serious that you won't fight with me?"
Chang Suining corrected: "The person who wants to compete with the Seventh Lady, the eldest grandson, is not me, nor will it be any other candidate for the Crown Princess——"
Chang Sunxuan's eyes moved slightly: "Of course I know."
What really competes with her is the Holy Will.
"But now the Holy Will is with you." She looked at that beautiful, calm and calm face and asked, "Is it up to you to fight or not to fight?"
"It's okay." The girl nodded, her tone determined and relaxed.
Changsun Xuan was startled again by this rather arrogant answer, and then asked a little funny: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Chang Suining also asked funnyly: "Then you still ask me?"
Changsun Xuan was surprised for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled, this time she really smiled.
Immediately, she also sat down.
"The reason why I asked you is because I expected you to answer, and you couldn't help yourself." The girl's tone was inexplicably more approachable, "This way I can try to help you."
"That's not necessary." Chang Sui Ning said: "If the saint realizes that I am in harmony with your eldest grandson, I will be in big trouble."
Changsun Xuan said softly "Ah" and nodded: "That's true."
She lightly shrugged: "Then there's nothing I can do to help."
He added: "I hope the 'I can do it' in your mouth is the truth."
Chang Sui Ning only smiled and said nothing.
The girl sitting face to face with her seemed to have started talking. At this moment, her upper body was slightly leaning towards her, and she lowered her voice and asked: "Do you really not want to be the princess? Or do you think you can't compete with me, so you gave up this idea?"
"
Chang Suining shook his head: "I really don't want to."
Changsun Xuan made sure that the girl in front of her had not lied, and said: "Yes, being a princess is very troublesome."
"But I'm not afraid of trouble." Changsun Xuan raised her chin slightly, with a sparkle in her eyes: "I have thought about it since I was a child, and in the future I can be like my eldest aunt and take care of the world."
At this moment, the girl showed frankness and innocence that she had never shown to others.
She has always been dignified and dignified to the outside world, and her innocent side is hidden under the garb of being the legitimate daughter of the Changsun family.
She doesn't have any real close friends, and her contacts with those noble ladies are just to maintain interpersonal relationships.
Perhaps the girl she met today was different from others. She felt particularly comfortable talking to her, and she had an inexplicable desire to talk.
After saying that, he came back to his senses and realized that he even said such nonsense as "Mother Yi Tianxia"?
Changsun Xuan realized that she had made a mistake, her face was slightly warm, and she warned with some discomfort: "You must not laugh at me."
Changsun Xuan's maid, who was guarding not far from the pavilion, had been paying attention to the situation in the pavilion. Seeing her girl's demeanor at this moment, she couldn't help but feel puzzled - how could the girl still be so coquettish?
Chang Suining: "When people are alive, it is a good thing to do something they sincerely want to do. What's so funny about it?"
On the contrary, she felt that it was very free and graceful for a woman to openly express her "ambition" towards higher places.
After taking a serious look at her, Changsun Xuan couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect you to be quite lovable."
The eldest grandson's daughter, who was listening to the conversation in the pavilion with her ears open, was even more stunned when she heard this - how could the girl confess her love?
Then I heard the wife of the Chang family say very immodestly: "There are always many people who like me."
Thinking of those rumors, Changsun Xuan looked at her suspiciously: "Is that because you have chased away everyone who doesn't like you?"
Chang Sui Ning said softly: "That seems to be the case."
Changsun Xuan covered her mouth and burst out laughing.
Chang Sui Ning also likes this seventh lady of the eldest grandson's family.
Speaking of which, when she was Li Xiao, she had a lot of grievances with the eldest son's family. The eldest son's family wanted to support the third prince, so they regarded "her" as the prince's mortal enemy, and they never stopped fighting openly and secretly.
But "she" was not born as the legitimate legitimate son and crown prince. Perhaps "she", whose birth mother was of a low status, was the one who overestimated her own abilities and took the initiative to fight.
The Changsun family had used many methods on "her", and she and Empress Ming, who was tied to her at that time, had dirty hands.
In her eyes, there is no right or wrong in political disputes, everyone just depends on their abilities.
Besides, she was the one who won in the fight with the Changsun clan and the third prince.
Only later did I realize that she had never won for herself.
Once an emperor and a minister, she was no longer Li Shang or Li Xiao, so she had no intention of implicating or hostile towards the little girl in front of her.
"Speaking of which, you have no intention of becoming the Crown Princess, and you don't need to test anything with me... Then why did you agree to come here to see me? Aren't you afraid that I would do something bad to you?" Changsun Xuan asked curiously at this time.
"Being disadvantageous to me at this time and place is equivalent to being disadvantageous to myself. I think the girl who was educated by Changsun's family will not be able to figure out the stakes."
Chang Sunxuan said "Oh": "Then I will take it as you are complimenting me."
She has always been very qualified in being the daughter of the eldest grandson's family.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As for why I came here, there are two reasons." Chang Sui Ning said: "The first is because I don't want to make unnecessary enemies, and I don't know them clearly. , it’s better to talk about this matter face to face and make a good relationship.”
Make good friends?
Changsun Xuan pursed her lips and smiled: "You have formed a good relationship."
Then he couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "But it's a pity that we are not suitable to be friends now."
Although she did like this lady from the Chang family, she was one of the few people she felt close to and wanted to get close to, but she was not carried away by this good impression.
The two people's positions at this time are contradictory and awkward. If they get too close, it will not be a good thing for each other.
"But maybe there will be a chance in the future." She looked at Chang Sui Ning with an expectant smile in her eyes.
Chang Sui Ning also nodded with a smile: "Yes, maybe there will be a chance."
The situation is always unpredictable, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
"Then what's the second reason why you came here to see me?" Changsun Xuan asked.
"Second..." Chang Sui Ning said: "Because Mrs. Zheng Guogong invited me to come and talk, and I happened to pass by here when I went to her place, so I stopped by to see you."
Chang Sunxuan: "?"
She prepared a lot for this meeting, but the other party just stopped by to see her?
"You don't take me seriously, don't you?" The girl was a little dissatisfied.
"You need to take it seriously only when you see your enemies. You and I are not enemies."
"Oh, that's true..."
…
At the same moment, in addition to Wei Miaoqing who lives with her mother, Duan's wife, Duke of Zheng, and Wei Shuyi who came to pay their respects were also there.
"...I have a good idea that is cunning but can sneak in!" Wei Miaoqing said with bright eyes.
Hearing the extremely honest words "although cunning" and "taking advantage of the opportunity", Wei Shuyi looked at his sister: "How cunning and taking advantage of the opportunity?"
"Brother, you might as well go and tell the saint that our Wei family and General Chang's office have already discussed marriage in private. This will not only help Mrs. Chang solve her urgent need, but also my brother..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Shuyi interrupted his sister in a funny voice: "Don't say whether Mrs. Chang agrees with this matter. Just because of my identity, I can't do it."
Wei Miaoqing frowned: "Why?"
"I am a close minister of the Emperor, and I have the respect and trust of Your Majesty. I must abide by the righteousness of a monarch and a minister." Wei Shuyi said: "Although others can do this, I cannot do it——"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to let Mrs. Chang be the Crown Princess, and it's not like there are no other candidates!" Wei Miaoqing was heartbroken: "Otherwise, you go tell the saint that I am willing to be the Crown Princess!"
Then let her replace Mrs. Chang!
Wei Shuyi: "..."
Don't be too crazy.
He picked up the tea cup and said, "Not to mention that you can change it if you want. Even if you really can, Mrs. Chang would not agree to such a ridiculous thing."
"This won't work, and that won't work either. You didn't even try or ask, how do you know it won't work?" Wei Miaoqing wrote his anger on his face: "Brother, I was born with such a smart head and shrewdness and arrogance for nothing. It’s too much, everything must be calculated and calculated!”
Mrs. Duan just sat there holding her forehead.
Ever since her daughter fell in love with Mrs. Chang's wife, she no longer needed to speak about it, and her daughter had become her mouthpiece.
"A plan?" Wei Shuyi was suddenly startled when he heard this. What was his plan?
"Isn't it just calculating everything? Calculating the gains and losses in front of the saint, calculating Madam Chang's response, and also calculating my own face if she is rejected by Madam Chang... Brother, you shouldn't be so timid when you really like someone.
The feet only calculate gains and losses in the same place!"
He had calculated everything clearly with his cleverness, but what good could it do besides spinning around in circles?
Wei Shuyi still had a funny look in his eyes: "Then tell me, what should you do if you like someone?"
"If you like someone, you should put all your sincerity and sincerity into it, and let them see your true feelings first before you speak!"
Wei Shuyi felt more and more amused: "You are obviously a gambler."
"That's better than brother being a coward who doesn't even dare to express his feelings!" Wei Miaoqing said angrily: "I think brother is guarding the arrogance he brought out from my mother's belly for the sake of losing face. I'm afraid that
I can hide this intention till my age!"
"Where did you learn all this nonsense——"
"I learned this all from the story book for my brother. Now it seems that all my efforts were in vain."
"I didn't know you were so eager to learn." Wei Shuyi lowered his eyes to blow the tea and said slowly, "Besides, when did I say that I am in love with the Chang family's wife?"
Wei Miaoqing was furious: "Auntie, let's just leave him alone from now on!"
"Tell him to realize it on his own." Mrs. Duan glanced at her son: "When Suining arrives later, let's see what he chooses."
Wei Shuyi didn't seem to hear anything and just drank tea quietly.
However, only he knew that his heart was not as unmoved as it seemed.
At this time, a female envoy sent a message saying that the Chang family's wife had arrived.
The look of disgust towards her son disappeared from Duan's face, and she hurriedly invited Chang Sui Ning in.
Duan dismissed the envoy and then asked Chang Suining in a low voice: "... Regarding the rumors about the future crown princess, Suining, do you have any plans now?"
She asked cryptically, but the concern in her eyes was undisguised.
Even if we put aside the aspect of her son, it is true that she has a special rapport with this little girl. Even if she cannot become a daughter-in-law, she now truly treats her as her own child.
The reason I called my son here today was not just for the so-called "taking advantage of the situation", but because I really wanted to help come up with ideas.
"The plan has been made, and the countermeasures have been decided." Chang Sui Ning said with a smile, "Madam, don't worry."
"You have a countermeasure so soon?" Duan was surprised and reassured: "This is the best thing."
Wei Miaoqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time quietly looked at his brother - hum, the brother was still hesitant, but he didn't know that he didn't even have a chance to contribute.
"I knew..." Wei Shuyi looked at Chang Suining with a smile: "How can a trivial matter be so difficult to trouble Mrs. Chang?"
Chang Sui Ning nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's just a trivial matter."
If nothing else works, she should be able to get out of trouble if she goes now and pulls out Ming Jin, who has almost lost the right to reproduce, and beats her up again, and then turns around and becomes a sister-in-law.
There are many similar methods, but as long as she is willing to harm herself, this matter will not trap her.
But because she had a friend who was extremely sincere and unreserved, she was able to find a more comprehensive method, and now she can escape without damaging herself.
Facing those relaxed eyes, Wei Shuyi felt an inexplicable feeling of emptiness in his heart that he would not be able to participate in the future.
He wanted to ask her how she planned to solve it. Perhaps, he could help her weigh whether it was feasible or help her come up with a more appropriate solution.
But just when he was about to speak, he heard the girl and his mother say: "I have something to talk to Madam alone."
Duan was puzzled for a moment, but she immediately took the girl's hand: "Then let's go to the inner room to talk."
Chang Suining nodded and entered the inner room with Mr. Duan.
"But is there still any difficulty?" Mrs. Duan held Chang Suining's hand, and before sitting down in a hurry, she lowered her voice and said, "If you have any difficulty, just talk to your aunt."
Chang Sui Ning shook his head lightly and said, "I dreamed last night about the place where Her Royal Highness the Princess hid the box."
Duan's eyes widened unexpectedly, and she almost exclaimed: "Seriously?"
Will those unique stories of hers, her entire net worth when she was young, and many of His Highness's most cherished possessions, have a chance to see the light of day again?
