Beauty has a disease

Chapter 166 Telling
Ember couldn't help but find it funny when she heard this, she could understand the difference between what she imagined and what she saw in real life, but, "How does Your Highness see that I have good abilities?"

Thinking back carefully, she and Yan Huai'an actually didn't have much interaction at the time when she was going south. At most, she had dealt with a group of people in front of him, but that was all, it was really not capable.

Yan Huai'an said without hesitation: "Smart, intelligent, and strong in martial arts, doesn't that count?"

Ember shook her head, "Of course not. Didn't I get captured by bandits in the end?"

"That tenacity, loyalty."

Ember looked strange, "Where did you see this?"

Yan Huai'an pointed out the window and said, "It's the first time we met, you brought Brother Shu Yun who fainted..."

Ember waved his hand, "That's not even counted. To be honest, I wanted to throw him out at that time."

Zhan Shuyun: "..." No, do you have no scruples about the presence of me, the client?
Yan Huai'an was at a loss for words for a moment, it was also the first time he saw someone denying other people's praise like this.

Now it's all right, the original somewhat sensational scene was broken by Ember's few words, Yan Huai'an was too embarrassed to continue her compliments.

He sighed helplessly, "Miss Yu's thoughts... I can't figure it out."

At the beginning, she revealed that she was on his side, but just now she herself denied it so bluntly, isn't it a subtle reminder to him that she doesn't have any good qualities in her, so she is not a good partner?
"Don't guess, I'll say it myself." Ember said, "What I want to say is that since Your Highness is sincerely wooing me, I naturally have to be ignorant of good and evil. The reason why I say this is to remind His Highness first, whether His Highness is true or not. I think I have some good qualities, but I am actually not as good as His Highness imagined, and even a little deviant, Your Highness, don't have too high expectations of me."

Ember gave Yan Huai'an a vaccination in advance.

Hearing the positive promise from Ember himself, Yan Huai'an heaved a sigh of relief, the goal was achieved, and the whole person relaxed, so he repeated the old story: "I am older than Ms. Yu, if that is the case, Ms. Yu should call me elder brother." .”

It has been mentioned several times that Ember naturally cannot lose face, but it is inappropriate to directly address Yan Qing (i.e. Yan Huai'an). Although calling him elder brother can afford it, it is too intimate, so Ember chose a compromise. It's an appropriate title: "Brother Huai'an."

Ember clasped her hands and called out, doing the etiquette among scholars.

Yan Huai'an accepted it with a smile, and raised the wine cup to signal Ember, "Yu Lin."

The two drank their wine in one gulp, keeping everything in silence.

After reaching a cooperation, Ember lost the desire to stay any longer. Although Yan Huai'an persuaded her to stay several times, Ember still found an excuse to leave, and Yan Huai'an left with her.

"I thought you wouldn't stand in line so quickly." Zhan Shuyun said.

"His Royal Highness personally wooed me, I have to know what's good and what's wrong!" Ember paced leisurely with her hands raised on the back of her feet, her tone relaxed.

Zhan Shuyun raised his eyebrows lightly, "It turns out that Mr. Duan still has this level of awareness, I have seen it."

Ember was amused by Zhan Shuyun's contrived tone, "You're telling the truth." She said, "Nowadays, the Holy Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. Although the court doesn't see anything on the surface, there are turbulent waves in the dark, and everyone is fighting for power. Just aim at the seat above and wait for the emperor to leave and fight to the death, then no one can survive alone."

"Instead of being coerced by the situation at that time, it is better to stand in a good team from the beginning, twist together with allies in the same camp to work together, and there is still a possibility of fighting."

What Ember said was very clear, but the same thing was also plain and straightforward, so straightforward that it was outrageous, but the person who said it didn't feel it, and the only listener, Zhan Shuyun, also had a calm expression on his face, as if this sentence had nothing to do with "Today It's a good day" and "Have you eaten" are normal.

Ember glanced at Zhan Shuyun, and knew at a glance that Zhan Shuyun was just like what she imagined, and he was indeed a person with no strict concept of superiority or inferiority.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you about Elder Duan Ge's sudden resignation and return to his hometown. Elder Duan Ge has a high status in the court, and your entry into the court will also help you more." Zhan Shuyun said suddenly.

He has some guesses, but no evidence.

Zhan Shuyun has been paying attention to Ember's actions, and when he noticed Ember's face froze when he stopped, he quickly made up for it: "But it's up to you to say it or not, I only care about the result."

Ember blinked and shook her head lightly: "Although you can't tell others, there is nothing to shy away from you."

Ember returned to her normal expression, continued to pace, and said, "Grandfather actually didn't mean to resign when he was old and return to his hometown. I forced him to write the letter of resignation to return to his hometown."

Ember's expression was indifferent, as if she didn't feel that she had done anything outrageous, she turned her head and saw Zhan Shuyun's surprised expression, which she didn't have time to clean up, "It's surprising, isn't it, you think I've done something out of line?"

Zhan Shuyun nodded and shook his head again, "I'm surprised, but I'm surprised that you would tell me so easily."

Ember shrugged, "This is the truth, since I decided to tell you, there is nothing to hide."

Ember continued: "Grandfather has a high position and authority. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the head of literati. Grandfather is not a pedantic person. Compared with many people today, grandfather can be regarded as enlightened. But in contrast, grandfather has his own Persevere, grandpa will naturally not tolerate things that touch his bottom line."

That is to say, Ember is going to do or has already done something that touches Duan Chang's bottom line.

"What's the bottom line?"

Ember tilted her head slightly, frowned slightly, as if thinking, "Many, but very few. The things I did that touched my grandfather's bottom line were probably in order to stand in line and exercise power."

The "bottom line" is very vague. There can be many lines or one line. It varies from person to person and from case to case. Take Duan Chang as an example. What Duan Chang can't tolerate most is the disturbance of the country. Competing for the ranks is a turmoil for the country, and it is even more disruptive for a woman to enter the court to exercise power. This is something Duan Chang cannot tolerate.

Having said that, Ember couldn't help but sighed, feeling very helpless, "Actually, grandpa is really nice, and I don't want to really do that."

Duan Chang is very open-minded. He is open-minded in raising his children and he is good at accepting new things. Compared with those old antiques nowadays, Duan Chang is very capable. Persevere, don't exercise power, don't cholera, just want to be loyal to the emperor and worthy of the world, but...it's too difficult.

"I don't believe that my grandfather can't see the turbulence of the court, so I can only say that my grandfather is too stubborn."

The stubbornness she is talking about is not stubbornness, but a firm attachment to her heart, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
