Chapter 100: Qualifications to be close to her
Cui Mingjue couldn't help but blush slightly at such an abrupt request.
It was also the first time that he had a crush on a woman, so he didn't know how to please Miss Shen.
After much thought, I decided to find a quiet and elegant place to express my feelings clearly.
Other things can be calculated, but on this matter, Cui Mingjue is unwilling to be hypocritical and only wants a sincere heart.
If Miss Chen is willing to be with him, then from now on, he will do his best to protect her so that she can do whatever she wants and stay bright and beautiful forever.
While waiting for Shen Jiasui's response, countless thoughts flashed through Cui Mingjue's mind, and the one he thought about the most was -
What should he do if Miss Shen doesn't agree?
Cui Mingjue didn't know that Concubine Shu had summoned Shen Jiasui. He was feeling uneasy when he suddenly heard Shen Jiasui respond bluntly:
"good."
Cui Mingjue looked up suddenly and saw Shen Jiasui nodding at him seriously.
Cui Mingjue was stunned at first, and then his heart beat faster and faster, as excited as the beat of a drum, as if the wind around him also had a hint of warmth at this moment.
"Is it a deal?"
Cui Mingjue tried to speak again, with a cautiousness in his eyes that Shen Jiasui could not understand.
"It's a deal."
Shen Jiasui nodded again, but his thoughts were very simple.
Judging from Concubine Shu's intention just now, it seems that she wants to bring her together with Cui Mingjue.
This is simply a random matchmaking.
I think Cui Mingjue must be unwilling after being pressured. So, I might as well listen to what he says.
The two of them discussed it and decided that it would be best if they could successfully dissuade Concubine Shu from her thoughts.
After making an agreement with Cui Mingjue, Shen Jiasui continued to walk towards the stands where Shen Jiaheng was.
The maid who led the way hurriedly followed, and Shen Jiasui said gently: "I will go up and say a few words to my brother, and then I will go to pay my respects to the queen and the princess."
The palace maid naturally didn't dare to say anything more and stood waiting under the stands.
Shen Jiasui climbed the stairs, and Shen Jiaheng had already come forward and asked with concern: "Sister, why did Cui Mingjue stop you just now? Are you okay?"
Shen Jiasui went up to the stands and was about to answer, but he paused.
Shen Jiaheng looked back following Shen Jiasui's gaze and explained hurriedly:
"Sister, this is the stand that Lord Jiang occupied first. My cousin Ji and I arrived later. My cousin went to play on the stage."
Shen Jiaheng has now really given up the idea of bringing Lord Jiang and his sister together.
But even if Lord Jiang could not become his brother-in-law, he was still the person he admired the most, so he was naturally willing to be close to Lord Jiang.
When they entered the stadium just now, all the stands were bustling with activity, except for Lord Jiang who was sitting alone, so he pulled his cousin Ji up with him.
Jiang Xun also stood up at this moment and bowed to Shen Jiasui.
He wore light-colored clothes today, which was a rare occasion. It took away some of his coldness, made him look more handsome and gentler than usual.
"Ms. Shen."
But when he opened his mouth, his voice was still faint.
Shen Jiasui hurriedly returned the greeting, "Master Jiang."
Shen Jiaheng was concerned about Cui Mingjue, so he couldn't help but urge her, "Sister, are you okay just now?"
Shen Jiasui shook his head, thought about it, and did not hide it from Jiang Xun. He whispered to him about Concubine Shu's invitation just now, and then turned back to Cui Mingjue.
"I'm sure Master Cui is also very impatient about this. Since he asked me to meet him, I might as well talk to him clearly."
When Shen Jiaheng heard that Concubine Shu wanted to match his sister with Cui Mingjue, he almost got furious. But now that he saw that Cui Mingjue was clear-headed, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Xun lowered his head slightly and listened to everything Shen Jiasui said.
He really couldn't help it and looked up at Shen Jiasui.
Seeing her frowning brows and a serious and determined look on her face, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, but at the same time - there was a bitter feeling.
She was so good that she was completely unaware of it, and didn't even understand Cui Mingjue's feelings at all.
Ever since he realized his feelings for Shen Jiasui, Jiang Xun never tried to deny it, he just restrained himself.
Keep your desires quietly hidden in your heart.
But at this moment, after knowing Cui Mingjue's plan, he endured it again and again, but jealousy and relief still came over him, like fine and tangled silk threads, all entangled in his heart.
He couldn't help but think, if he could escape unscathed today -
Do I have the qualifications to get closer to her?
Seeing that Shen Jiasui was about to leave, Jiang Xun immediately straightened his face and whispered, "Miss Shen, please be careful."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui turned around and nodded to Jiang Xun.
She knew what Lord Jiang meant and was mentally prepared.
Even the Crown Princess could be plotted against like that, let alone her?
Before leaving, Shen Jiasui's eyes swept across Jiang Xun's calm brows, slightly opened his lips, but didn't know how to start.
Lord Jiang's situation today is probably a hundred times more dangerous than hers.
If she guessed correctly, Princess An Ning, the Crown Princess, and Huai Zhen should all be on the highest stand at this moment.
Princess An Ning is interested in Lord Jiang. Huai Zhen knows this. It is impossible for Lord Jiang to be completely unaware of it.
Then what are his considerations towards Princess An Ning?
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui's eyelashes trembled slightly, and in the end he just knelt down and said, "Master Jiang, please be careful too."
"Um."
Jiang Xun responded lightly.
At this moment, the whole stadium suddenly burst into warm cheers, and even the stands beneath their feet seemed to shake.
Almost everyone looked towards the field, even Shen Jiasui was no exception.
It turned out that it was Lu Yunzheng who had snatched the red hydrangea. He was sitting on his horse, holding the hydrangea high above his head, looking very high-spirited and eye-catching.
Amidst such a bustling crowd, Jiang Xun finally dared to lower his brows, his eyes gently falling on Shen Jiasui's hair, fixed on the glittering golden hairpin.
The swaying tassels, the turning light and the moving sound gradually disturbed his heart.
A thought flashed through Jiang Xun's mind: This hairpin really suits her.
At this time, Shen Jiaheng, who was standing by, stared at Lu Yunzheng, who was beaming with joy, with a look of disdain on his face, and said bluntly: "Humph, the dazzling colors are like a peacock spreading its screen, it really is really trying its best."
"puff--"
Shen Jiasui couldn't help laughing out loud, and the hairpins in her hair trembled slightly, which scared someone so much that he quickly looked away.
Shen Jiasui was unaware of anything and turned around to pat Shen Jiaheng on the shoulder.
Brother Heng's words really touched her heart. It seemed that if she kept a close eye on Lu Yunzheng today, she might really gain something.
"Okay, sister is leaving first, don't run around, be careful."
After she finished speaking, she turned back to look at Jiang Xun. She wanted to nod in greeting, but she saw Jiang Xun with his eyebrows lowered, looking at... the ground?
Shen Jiasui followed Jiang Xun's gaze and saw that the ground was empty, there was nothing...
Never mind, it's been delayed for a long time.
Shen Jiasui walked away, all the way to the highest stand, and lifted the curtain to enter.
"Jia Sui, you are finally here."
Zhao Huaizhen came forward and looked Shen Jiasui up and down several times. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Jiasui smiled at her and had already noticed the Crown Princess sitting at the back, and the girl with lively eyes next to her.
