Chang'an is good

The Holy Book Emperor's eyes were still on the roster, and he asked in a very calm voice: "The best candidate... Where is the best place?"

Ming Luo held back his face and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, I believe that the girl from the Chang family has three conditions that are very suitable for the position of Crown Princess—"

Her voice was slow and objective: "First, although Mrs. Chang is only the adopted daughter of the General's Mansion, everyone knows that General Chang treats her as her own, and there is only this one woman in the mansion. The daughter of a first-rank military general, this point is undisputed."

"The daughter of a first-rank military officer sounds prominent enough. In this marriage, no one can say that His Majesty deliberately treated His Highness the Crown Prince in a perfunctory manner."

"However, General Chang's command is only a first-rank false title, and he has no real power in his hands. Let's take a step back and say that although he once commanded the Xuance Army, now the whole Xuance Mansion is loyal to the Governor Cui, and the Chang family is here. To defect to the Eastern Palace every day is also within control for His Majesty."

"Secondly, the lady of the Chang family has an advantage that others cannot compare to. After she ascended to the Tailou Poetry Contest, she has become well-known among scholars as a woman. Those who are talented and famous are the ones who are in the limelight at the moment, and receive countless praises - just based on their personal fame, they have the power to convince the public, enough to compete with the eldest grandson Seventh Lady."

"The third is what Tianjing Guoshi said just now..." Ming Luo said this, and there was an appropriate awe on his face: "The Chang family's wife's fate is quite strange."

Just now the sage once asked the national teacher whether this miracle is a blessing or a curse——

The national teacher shook his head and answered the word "unknown".

And the national teacher just had another word...

——"Poverty Taoism has a little impression of her face. The strangeness of this girl's life seems to have an indistinct relationship with the fate of Your Majesty."

This sentence is more confusing than the word "unknown".

For the emperor who holds the power of life and death, if the opponent is really just an ordinary unknown variable, he can get rid of the strangulation as soon as possible, and all troubles can be avoided.

But the sentence "This woman's fate and His Majesty's fate seem to have an unclear relationship" makes people dare not act rashly.

A little carelessness may damage the luck of the overall situation.

Tianjing Guoshi is not comparable to those swindling Taoists and warlocks. All the prophecies that come out of his mouth will come true, and his aunt treats him very highly——

When she was young, she even heard a secret story from her father Ying Guogong. When her aunt was just born, she met a young Taoist who passed by outside the mansion. After the aunt in the middle, she bluntly said that the baby's face could be the master of the world in the future.

At that time, this remark sounded like nonsense and crazy talk.

But decades later it became true.

At that time, she only thought that this mysterious rumor was just a means used by her aunt to win over the hearts of her subjects, but later, her aunt really found the Taoist back then——that person was none other than Tianjing Guoshi.

It is reasonable for my aunt to value the national teacher.

And no matter good or bad, when it is related to their own interests and safety, people always prefer to believe it, even ordinary people, let alone emperors.

Emperors don't risk their fortunes.

Therefore, just now, the sage asked Tianjing Guoshi to ask whether he could deduce a more detailed possibility or a solution to the theory of entanglement of fate.

The national teacher only said to do his best.

But in the end it is an unknown variable, and it is also unknown whether the detailed good or bad trend can be calculated.

"Your Majesty is a king bestowed by heaven. In the face of such unpredictable variables, it is a safe strategy to keep it under control." Ming Luo finally said.

The so-called crown princess sounds luxurious, but it is actually just a chain that turns people into puppets.

For such an unstable variable, it is most appropriate to turn it into a controllable puppet and keep it in front of our eyes, isn't it?
After hearing the above words, Emperor Shengji raised his eyes and looked at Ming Luo.

"Gu'an——" Emperor Shengji's tone could not hear any joy or anger: "You don't like the lady of the Chang family, do you?"

Ming Luo's eyelashes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, Luo Er doesn't like this lady from the Chang family."

She knew very well that when her aunt raised such a question, she didn't want to hear her deny and explain.

Even if she admits it, it won't make what she just said worthless -- the basis for the emperor to weigh the pros and cons does not include the petty thinking of a little person like her.

As long as this suggestion is useful and available, my aunt will consider it.

If not, how could she be so stupid as to speak rashly, only to make her aunt question her intentions?

Therefore, she admitted it calmly and calmly: "The girl from the Chang family acted in a public manner, regardless of the importance of the overall situation, and she had previously refused the grace that her aunt wanted to grant her as a female official. It is really difficult for Luo Er to have a sense of approval for her."

"But Luoer's proposal just now was not out of selfishness." She said seriously: "Before, Luoer, like my aunt, had never included her in the list of candidates for the crown princess. The words... Fang gave birth to such an idea."

She raised her hand in salute, bowed her head slightly, and said, "If it can be used by my aunt, or it is God's will, and it was instructed by the national teacher to help my aunt in this urgent need... If so, Luoer should also give her a gift Waiting, there will never be any useless emotions such as superficial targeting."

The Holy Book Emperor nodded slightly: "If you can think that way, it would be a waste of my cultivation for you."

She doesn't care that the people around her have their own little thoughts.

If she couldn't tolerate other people's little schemes of her own, then there would be no one in the world she could use.

As long as that little thought is enough to be seen through by her and it is under her control.

On the contrary, people with selfishness and shortcomings can use it better to control it.

She just needs to remind the other party before they touch the line that shouldn't be touched.

Ming Luo said at the right time: "...Luoer's eyesight is limited after all, what he said is probably just a humble opinion, how to settle this matter, I still need my aunt to think and decide."

"I really don't have a chess piece with an absolute chance of winning at the moment. Those people may not have taken a fancy to this, so they dared to propose to choose a concubine at this time..."

The Holy Book Emperor looked again at the word "Chang Sui Ning" on the roster, and said slowly: "She was not in my consideration, so she is not in those people's consideration."

"It's only been half a year, but its reputation has already risen... Looking at the capital, it can be regarded as a variable worth mentioning."

Such a variable may really help her win by surprise, and it is unknown whether she will win this game...

"Of course, it's not advisable to do it rashly. We need to check the reactions of all parties first."

The emperor's words on the holy book fell, and he raised his hand to slowly close the book.

After a moment of silence, a maid came in and announced, "Your Majesty, it's almost time for the dinner."

The process of today's flower banquet is to enjoy the flowers during the day and hold a banquet in the evening.

And the movements that the Holy Book Emperor used to test the reactions of all parties were at the dinner party.

……

Ever since seeing him in the garden in Bai Rili, Chang Suining's unfathomable gaze from that Tian Jing Guoshi looking at him has always flashed in front of his eyes from time to time, and he always feels inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

Soon, this anxiety was confirmed.

Before the banquet, the envoys of the Holy Book Emperor rewarded the noble ladies one by one.

Rewards from the emperor, since the rain and dew should be shared, no matter whether they have performed at the flower festival today or not, all those who come with invitations this time will be rewarded.

It's just that the rewards are different.

This difference is the basis for all parties to judge the holy will——

Most of the items obtained by the noble girls are mostly jewelry items. Although they are not the same, they are similar.

Only when the eldest grandson Seven's wife, grandson Xuan, came forward to receive the reward, she got a jade ruyi that was different from ordinary jewelry.

Just the literal word "Ruyi" is enough to show that the sage is very satisfied with it.

Some women secretly exchanged glances.

Lady Seventh, the grandson, is really different...

The sage bestowed this jade ruyi at this time, did he also agree to choose the eldest grandson Seventh Lady as the crown princess?
Changsun Xuan saluted and thanked her, received the reward, returned to her seat with a smile and sat down.

The prince sitting under the head of the Holy Book Emperor slightly clenched the fingers in his sleeves that were trembling due to nervousness and excitement.

Whispers were already heard among the officials, but Chang Sun Yuan remained calm, and he didn't feel settled in his heart—since this flower show is held on a big scale, how could the Empress Dowager compromise so easily?
At this time, the voice of the servant announcing the reward sounded again.

"Miss Chang of Hussar General's Mansion, step forward to receive the reward—"

Chang Sui Ning stepped forward.

The waiter raised his voice and said: "The sage bestowed on Chang's girl, a pair of Ye Mingzhu."

All around suddenly quiet.

Chang Suining's lowered eyebrows also jumped very quickly.

She didn't look up and looked around, but she could clearly feel that countless surprised eyes fell on her.

She went forward to receive the reward, and she was destined to receive some similar rewards like many noble ladies before, and then she could go back and sit quietly without attracting any attention.

But at this time, an accident happened.

The two luminous pearls held in front of her by the maid lay quietly in the box, even though the surroundings were brightly lit, the pearls were emitting a faint light, like candles and stars, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

This pair of extremely precious night pearls did not allow anyone to look away, nor did the girl have the room to refuse.

But the girl didn't take it immediately.

At this time, Tianjing Guoshi, who was standing beside the Holy Book Emperor, spoke.

"Today, when the poor Taoist saw the girl's face in the garden, he felt that it was very extraordinary. Looking at it now, he felt that it was even rarer—"

All around suddenly became quieter.

The national teacher is actually going to meet the girl from the Chang family in public?
Tianjing Guoshi is not comparable to ordinary Taoists, once he speaks, there is no need to say much.

The Taoist's old voice was very clear in the silent hall, and every word seemed to contain endless mystery: "The girl's eyes are clear and firm, full and clear from the forehead bone to the jade pillow, the bone appearance has been achieved, and it will be expensive and extraordinary in the future. Estimated also..."

After saying this, there was a surprising and noisy sound all around.

This Chang family girl was born with such a precious life?
And it's expensive and uncommon...it must be a sign of being expensive!

Cui Lang's focus was slightly different, and he mused softly, "From the frontal bone to the jade pillow is full and distinct..."

He touched his head subconsciously, and suddenly said: "It means that my master's head is extremely round, right?"

Touching and touching, he couldn't help but secretly look at the head of his elder brother sitting in front.

If Tianjing Guoshi came to take a picture of his elder brother's bones, would he be able to tell where his elder brother's natural rebellion was?I guess... it must be quite a big piece, right?
Cui Lang looked from top to bottom.

It's not right, or... Eldest brother, it's all that thing from head to toe?
As the saying goes, how much is the weight of a person, and how much is the weight of the previous scale!
But too much rebellion is not a good thing, and you will always be beaten more than others.

It is not a good thing to have a head that is too round, as it is easy to be targeted by Taoist priests.

Master wouldn't be arrested and made a princess because of his head being too round, right?
Cui Lang looked at his master worriedly.

Hearing the different voices of discussion, Chang Sui Ning slightly raised his head and looked at the Tianjing National Master.

She knows that she is expensive and extraordinary, and she doesn't need him to tell her.

But since the other party opened her mouth, she still wanted to say: "In this way, with the auspicious words of the national teacher——"

She will make herself realize this expensive and extraordinary fate.

But to be expensive is to be precious, not to be a puppet.

In the eyes of everyone, the girl just responded to the noble and extraordinary words of the national teacher, without humility, fear, or flattery, but what did she say - borrowing the auspicious words of the national teacher?

In the calmness, there is also a hint of arrogance.

So, she just accepted it?

The girl even accepted the pair of Ye Mingzhu.

Chang Suining thanked him after taking the box.

Of course I have to thank you, after all, it is just a reward and a face-to-face meeting, not a will to give a marriage. At this time, even if I want to resist the will, there is no purpose to resist, and if I want to go crazy on the spot, there are still few opportunities.

Besides, this pair of night pearls is worth thousands of gold, if there is money in the future, it is very cost-effective to sell them.

Her action of accepting the reward fell into the eyes of everyone, but it meant the beginning of a game.

For this dinner, many people are doomed not to know what to eat.

When the banquet was halfway through, officials with different thoughts left the banquet one after another.

Changsun Yuan sat quietly the whole time, and there was no sign of change.

Chang Suining also sat at the end.

When she left, there were not many people left at the banquet.

The box containing the luminous pearls was handed over to Xi'er, and the master and servant walked out of the front hall, and a cool night breeze rushed towards their faces.

"Ningning..." Chang Kuo and his son, who were waiting outside the hall, walked up quickly.

Chang Sui Ning calmly said: "It's getting late, Dad and Brother should go back to rest first, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow."

It will take at least one night for everyone to reflect and digest this matter, so she and Dad might as well calm down and think about it first.

This matter is beginning to appear, and the Chang family does not need to be ahead of everyone else, and there is a big reaction in a hurry.

Chang Kuo nodded knowingly, glanced at the direction of the banquet hall, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, don't be afraid, Dad is here."

It was inconvenient to speak at the banquet, and Chang Sui'an was still a little confused about the situation, but after hearing this, he assured his sister: "Brother is also here!"

Chang Suining smiled and nodded.

After parting with his father and brother, Chang Suining took Xi'er back to the residence alone.

Seeing the girl's back disappear, Ming Luo who was standing in the corridor raised his eyebrows slightly.

She took great pains to make her famous, and finally got the fruit of her fame today... Speaking of which, the other party won't suffer a loss if she just picked up the position of the grand princess.

On the day when the decree is issued, she will sincerely say "Congratulations" to the other party.

Fortunately, what the other party did tonight seemed quite sensible.

What else is there to be ignorant and dissatisfied? As an orphan girl, with such a great fortune, the other party should be satisfied.

Ming Luo said with a slight smile: "It's best to keep being so interesting..."

After all, her aunt, His Majesty the Saint today, would not like an uninterested puppet.

The good and the bad are unpredictable...

Then, it is auspicious to be knowledgeable.

If you don't know what's interesting, if you live right and wrong, it's a disaster.

The evil star will not end well, so the opponent should be an obedient chess piece with peace of mind.

Ming Luo restrained himself, turned around and returned to the hall.
