Xi'er held the box beside Chang Sui Ning and walked along the path in the garden.
The sandalwood box containing the luminous pearls was carved with hollow patterns of flowers and birds. At this moment, in the night, the glowing pearl light came out from the hollow gaps.
Xi'er, like the servants and maids of other families, had been waiting outside the hall, so she didn't quite know what the reward her girl received meant. At this time, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Girl, this bead is really
Bright……"
"I'm much brighter than these beads." Chang Suining looked at the night ahead and said.
If not, how could she be caught and made a puppet by that person after she changed into a skinned body?
I'm afraid she doesn't have the four characters "I'm very useful" as a reincarnation birthmark on her body, and she can't hide it no matter how hard she tries.
"That's natural, the girl is shining brightly!" Xi'er took over the words seriously: "Maybe the girl is the reincarnation of the night pearl, and the natural pearl's brightness is naturally better."
Chang Suining thought about it seriously.
She shouldn't look like this flashy luminous pearl.
If she is so useful and practical, she is probably the reincarnation of a chess piece.
After the master and servant walked some distance away, Yuan Xiang, who was standing quietly in a pavilion not far away, scratched his head and said: "... Mrs. Chang is not modest at all. She actually thinks she is brighter than a pearl at night."
"It's just the truth." Cui Jing said, standing quietly in the pavilion, watching the figure disappearing in the night.
"..." Yuan Xiang silently glanced at his Grand Governor.
Okay, the governor's friends are the best.
But they are worthy of being friends. One is not modest, and the other is not modest for the other.
"But Grand Governor... aren't you waiting here to talk to Mrs. Chang?" Yuan Xiang asked: "People are about to go far away, but do you want your subordinates to call them back?"
Cui Jing did not comment and walked out of the pavilion.
"Go back first," he said.
As a friend, he didn't know what to say or offer words of comfort when they met now. This was not what he was good at, and she didn't seem to need it.
Or, at least he needs to figure out a relatively feasible way before he can see her.
Friends, this is what you should do, right?
…
"Father……"
At this moment, the eldest grandson Qiniangzi stood in her father's study room, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Is the saint going to let the wife of the Chang family come to fight with his daughter?"
Although she got a jade Ruyi, Chang Sui Ning not only got a pair of night-light pearls, but she was also judged by the Tianjing Imperial Master on the spot to be valuable and extraordinary——
What is the holy will? Isn’t it obvious?
"What's so surprising about people vying for it? How can the position of Crown Princess be handed over to you smoothly?" Changsun Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Yaonv, "You just need to do what you should do and act cautiously in front of others.
Just don’t leave excuses for anyone, the rest will be taken care of by your father and your elder brother.”
Changsun Xuan responded "Yes" and "My daughter, please remember this."
Changsun Yuan looked at the female envoy beside her: "Take the girl back to rest."
The envoy responded.
The eldest son Xuan was blessed: "Father and eldest brother should also rest early."
The door of the study room was closed again, Changsun Yuan's eldest son Changsunyan frowned and said: "Tianjing Imperial Master left the seclusion at this time, this is the original intention..."
Many times, God's theory of God is also a means of gaming.
"My son has heard that although the adopted daughter of General Chang's residence is not as good as Xuan'er elsewhere, she is now quite famous among the literati from poor families... Now the Ming Dynasty has revealed its intention to make her the crown prince.
Those people will definitely use their talent and reputation to promote and build momentum, how will we deal with it then?"
The sound of wind outside the window covered up the conversation between father and son.
…
"Girl, do you really...want to be the crown princess?" On the way back, the female envoy beside Chang Sunxuan asked in a low voice.
She grew up with her eldest son, Sun Xuan, and their relationship was extraordinary, comparable to that of a master and a servant.
"Of course." Changsun Xuan said with a slight smile: "I am the daughter of the Changsun family, so I should set an example by my eldest aunt."
Her eldest aunt was the respected Empress Changsun during her lifetime. She has wanted to be someone like her aunt who can bring glory to the Changsun family since she was a child.
She is lucky. She is the youngest among the sisters in the family and the most loved by her father and brother. Now she has finally waited for the opportunity to realize her dream, and she will definitely try her best to fight for it.
As for how much younger the prince is than she is, and that she has not even met him a few times, it doesn't matter.
Not all girls look forward to marrying a so-called wishful man.
Besides, the prince will always grow up, so that doesn't necessarily mean he will be unsatisfied.
The female envoy didn't say anything more and just smiled and said: "My servant thinks simply, as long as the girl is happy... In short, whatever the girl wants to do, I will accompany her to do whatever she wants."
Chang Sunxuan pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to say something else when she heard footsteps in front of her, and then someone came towards her.
"Who am I asking? Isn't this the seventh lady, the eldest grandson?"
Ming Jin walked over, accompanied by a boy carrying a lantern.
At this time, he raised his hand to take the lamp from the boy's hand, took two steps forward, raised the lamp high, looked at the girl in front of him, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen Madam Changsun for a long time, this lamp
Look at this beauty, she really has a unique charm..."
His demeanor, tone, and behavior were all joking and offensive. Changsun Xuan frowned slightly and took two steps back: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself."
"Tsk, are you trying to make fun of the eldest grandson's family with me again?" Ming Jin raised his eyebrows and said in a pitiful tone: "I heard that Lord eldest grandson is going to send his seventh wife to the palace to be the crown prince... Such a beauty.
If your son is locked up within the palace wall from now on, wouldn’t it be a waste of natural resources?”
With that said, he took another step closer and lowered his voice and suggested: "How about I go and ask my aunt for a favor, let her grant a marriage to you and me, and save the eldest grandson from the sea of fire?"
A trace of faint contempt flashed in Changsun Xuan's eyes.
She didn't even look at Ming Jin, she just said coldly: "I think my father had clearly rejected me three years ago."
The saint once instructed the Ming family to propose marriage to her family in an attempt to ease the relationship with the Changsun family. Regardless of whether the saint was doing superficial things to paralyze the Changsun family or sincerely wanted to win over the Changsun family, my father did not consider this matter.
At that time, I rejected it completely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since then, the relationship between their eldest grandson's family and that saint has been completely irreconcilable - and his father has never thought about reconciliation.
Her father said that the death of her eldest aunt, Empress Changsun, had an inescapable relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was old grudges or current conflicts of interest, their Changsun family and the Ming Dynasty were destined to be at odds until the end.
Her father did not hide this from her, because she wanted to stand side by side with her father and brother.
Therefore, in her eyes, this so-called good-for-nothing heir apparent of the Ming family is just a clown.
The girl did not hide the disdain in her eyes.
This condescending disdain was particularly dazzling in Ming Jin's eyes, and when she heard her mention the rejection of his marriage proposal three years ago, annoyance appeared on his face for a moment.
"Chang Sunxuan, what are you so proud of? It's time for you to open your eyes and see what the surname of the current owner of this country is -"
He squeezed out a sneer from between his teeth and said word by word: "I want to see if such a vicious dog who doesn't know the current affairs and good things will still have such a mouth when he is beaten to death and skinned by his master.
hard……"
Changsun Xuan pursed her lips and looked at him for a moment.
In the end, he only said to the female envoy: "Let's go."
The maid followed her girl and left with a solemn expression.
"Bah!" Ming Jin spat and threw the lamp in his hand to the ground.
"You're just a cheap man, but he dares to pretend to be noble in front of me many times!"
"Now this country's surname is Ming, not Li, let alone Changsun!"
"Your Majesty..." The young man hesitated and looked around subconsciously.
"What are you afraid of!" Ming Jin had nowhere to vent, and slapped the young man on the face: "I, the prince, need to be secretive when speaking!"
My aunt has no children, and he is my aunt's nephew. He is clearly the most noble son in Da Sheng - not the useless prince who doesn't even have hair and doesn't dare to speak loudly when he sees him!
But this bitch rejected him, and then turned around and decided to marry that good-for-nothing prince...
Ming Jin gritted his teeth and looked in the direction Chang Sunxuan left, with a smile suddenly appearing on his face.
"When I enter the palace in the future, it is not up to me to decide how to flatten and round it..."
Just wait, sooner or later he will make this bitch put aside his smug and noble attitude and kneel in front of him to beg him.
And that little bitch from the Chang family...anything that doesn't know how to appreciate will never end well!
"The eldest son of the Ming family is really getting more and more rude..."
The female envoy next to Changsun Xuan said with disgust in her eyes: "Today's saints are also great people...how come you have such a nephew?"
"The nine sons of the dragon are all different." Changsun Xuan sneered: "Besides, the Ming family is not a famous family with a profound foundation. Now it is because of the saint that it has reached this position... How can we expect him to have some real grace?
Education and a visionary mind.”
And precisely because the more something is missing, the more we care about it.
Knowing that one's family background is insufficient, one will immediately jump in the face of contempt from others.
It is normal for a family like the Ming family to have people like Ming Jin.
Once the light comes out, it will be a miracle.
And as my father said, this miracle came to this world not only because of Empress Ming herself, but also because of the right time and place, and the life-saving help of her children - and Empress Ming's children were not named Ming.
In the final analysis, the Ming family where Ming Jin belongs is just sitting back and enjoying its success.
"That's right..." the female envoy said, "That girl should stay away from him from now on, so as not to get any bad luck."
Changsun Xuan suddenly asked: "I heard that the Chang family girl once beat him, right?"
"Yes." The female envoy elaborated on the previous rumors about the Dayun Temple incident.
Changsun Xuan couldn't help but smile: "It was a good fight."
Then he said thoughtfully: "This girl from the Chang family is very different from ordinary girls... Even though I don't like to inquire about the affairs of those noble girls, I have heard about her deeds many times in the past six months."
It was beating people, becoming apprentices, holding poetry gatherings, forming associations, and playing chess with others... Oh, I also taught the Jie family a lesson in return, and even painted a picture while teaching him a lesson.
Become famous in the capital.
How does she do so many things at once?
And it seems like...no matter who you play against, the opponent never loses?
Calculated in this way, it can be called an invincible achievement which is astonishing.
Changsun Xuan suddenly felt a little worried: "My opponent seems to be very unusual..."
Before this flower party, she never thought that her opponent would be this lady from the Chang family.
It was really a bit unprepared.
After thinking for a moment, Changsun Xuan said: "I want to see her alone tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the last day of the flower party.
It will be inconvenient to see you again after returning to the city.
"The lady wants to meet the Chang family lady alone?" The envoy hesitated: "But the master told the girl to be cautious..."
"I'm not going to quarrel with her to cause trouble, so how can I be careless?" Changsun Xuan said: "If my father can't even let me make the decision on this little thing, then when can I take charge of myself like my eldest aunt?"
Since you are an opponent, you should at least know yourself and the other side and explore the other side's true intentions.
Tomorrow, she will go and meet the rumored lady from the Chang family.
…
On the last day of the flower festival, the saint who was busy with everything no longer appeared in front of people, and more of the female relatives visited the garden alone, and the atmosphere seemed more relaxed and harmonious.
However, beneath this harmony, everyone knew that a storm was coming.
At yesterday's dinner party, the jade Ruyi and the pair of night-bright pearls given by the saint stirred up waves in everyone's hearts. After another night of fermentation, he was now a little waiter in the Furong Garden, and he also had "Zuo Xiang" in his heart.
This understanding is that the eldest grandson of the family, the Seventh Lady, and the girl from General Chang's residence are competing for the position of crown princess.
While the female family members were discussing privately, they subconsciously paid attention to the surroundings of the garden. However, the two initial candidates for the Crown Princess did not appear today.
Also, how can those two girls still be in the mood to enjoy flowers at this time?
At this moment, Chang Suining was on his way to the racecourse.
In addition to the flower viewing area, there is also a horse racing farm in Furong Garden. Since today’s activities were not restricted, many children went to the horse racing farm together to ride horses.
Chang Sui Ning had no intention of joining in the fun, but just now Yao Xia hurried over to tell her that her brother Yao Gui had sent someone to send a message - Ming Jin asked a disciple who was familiar with Chang Sui An to trick Chang Sui An.
Go to the racecourse and say something to encourage Chang Sui'an to race horses with him.
Chang Suining then rushed over.
If it were a serious competition in riding skills, I would be very cautious. There were not many disciples in the entire capital who could compare with her brother.
But she was worried that Ming Jin would use some means to take out her anger on her brother because he couldn't touch her for the time being.
And her brother, who is not sophisticated enough, is particularly dissatisfied with the Duke's government and Ming Jin, and he is always thinking about venting his anger on her behalf. If he gets angry and impulsive, he may easily fall into the trap.
Chang Suining and Yao Xia quickly arrived at the racecourse.
At this time, many people gathered around, and there were sounds of cheering and watching.
"Look, Crown Prince Ming is about to catch up!"
"Well done!"
On the racecourse, there are about a dozen figures galloping on their horses. At a glance, they are all young men in bright clothes.
Chang Suining looked around and saw that Chang Sui'an was in the lead at the moment, but not too far ahead——
"drive!"
Following closely behind him was Ming Jin. He was holding the reins in one hand and holding the whip in the other hand and was chasing after him. Riding under him was an extremely strong horse with a brown body all over, except for a little bit on the forehead.
