Chapter 91 Do you have the confidence to compete with Jiang Xun?
When Zhao Huailang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Mingjue, don't be anxious, your cousin hasn't finished speaking yet."
His voice was very gentle, and even revealed a hint of empathy.
"If you really like Miss Shen, that's fine. She is General Shen's legitimate daughter. Although she broke off the engagement, she did nothing wrong."
"In the early spring of next year, the Mo Kingdom may make some small moves again. After all, we still have a tough battle to fight between us and the Mo Kingdom."
“Although General Shen lost an arm and handed Daliang over to General Lu, in the eyes of my father and even the generals of the Sheng Dynasty, General Shen is still an important figure.”
When Cui Mingjue heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he looked at King Rui with some hesitation and surprise.
Zhao Huailang raised his hand, gently patted Cui Mingjue on the shoulder, and said sincerely:
"Mingjue, you have an impressive background and a status that others look up to. You do enjoy all the glory, but you are also destined not to be able to do whatever you want."
"Back then...my cousin also failed to achieve his wish. Although time has passed, every time I think of it, I still feel regretful and anxious."
"So, before coming to the Imperial College, my cousin had already gone to Cui's house and convinced my grandfather. This time - you get to choose for yourself."
Cui Mingjue could no longer hide his emotions after hearing this and looked up in disbelief. Zhao Huailang saw this and couldn't help but smile.
"Mingjue, my cousin knows that you are very talented. What you are doing now is just what the situation requires. You should keep a low profile."
"I know that you have many things that you cannot help, and even I, your cousin, sometimes..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. At least in this matter, cousin hopes that you will have no regrets."
Zhao Huailang's smile was so sincere that it rekindled Cui Mingjue's extravagant hopes that he had already given up.
He opened his mouth, but for a moment nothing came out.
His grandfather and father always told him that as long as it was good for his cousin, the Cui family would go through fire and water for it and would do their best to help.
They told him that he was born to be his cousin's right-hand man, so he must not be willful or act recklessly, but must be diligent and hardworking and be a hundred times more attentive than others.
But at this moment, my cousin actually said that he could choose his future wife by himself?
He still felt it was unreal, and even in a daze.
Zhao Huailang was also distracted at this time.
If it were anything else, he could not compromise. After all, having come to this point today, even walking on thin ice is not enough to describe the difficulty.
but--
If you can’t get the love you want, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
At least in this matter, he didn't want to embarrass Mingjue, nor did he want to see him repeat his mistakes.
Seeing Cui Mingjue's stunned look that couldn't hide his joy, Zhao Huailang curled his lips, but he had to pour a basin of cold water on him at this time.
"Mingjue, don't be too happy too soon. Maybe Miss Shen already has a lover."
When Cui Mingjue heard this, all his thoughts came together in an instant and he looked surprised.
"Cousin, are you talking about Lu Yunzheng?"
Because of Shen Jiasui, he had privately watched Lu Yunzheng from afar.
Lu Yunzheng was indeed a man of great bearing, but he was ambitious and indecisive. He didn't believe that Shen Jiasui was so blind that he still had feelings for Lu Yunzheng.
Zhao Huailang shook his head, stared into Cui Mingjue's eyes, and uttered a name meaningfully: "Jiang Xun."
"Jiang Xun?"
Cui Mingjue couldn't help but raise his voice slightly, but quickly lowered it again.
He never expected that it would be Jiang Xun.
At this time, Cui Mingjue's face changed slightly, and he suddenly remembered that in order to pretend to be a playboy, he did not hesitate to follow the trend and make up stories about Shen Jiasui.
That day at the gate of the Imperial College, it was Jiang Xun who stepped forward to rescue Shen Jiasui.
If the other party is Jiang Xun......
Cui Mingjue frowned, because even he had to admit that Jiang Xun was special. He was outstanding enough to be threatening enough, even... surpassing him.
At this time, Zhao Huailang's voice sounded again. He had great connections and things that others didn't know would naturally not escape his eyes.
So he immediately told Cui Mingjue all the interactions between Shen Jiasui and Jiang Xun.
......
"Mingjue, look, Jiang Xun from Prince Rong's Mansion saved Shen Jiasui, and Shen Jiasui from the Anyang Earl's Mansion saved Jiang Xun's mother. This kindness is enough to tie them together without them realizing it."
"If there is still hope, it is that Shen Jiasui rejected the matchmaking of Huang Shubao. No matter what the considerations were, it is clear that Jiang Xun is not the husband candidate in Shen Jiasui's mind."
"This is your chance, Mingjue, but I guess you don't leave a very good impression in her mind."
When Cui Mingjue heard this, a hint of bitterness flashed across his face.
If he had known it earlier, he would not have done such a stupid thing. But if he had not had a quarrel with Shen Jiaheng that day, perhaps he would not have had any contact with Shen Jiasui at all.
Zhao Huailang gave Cui Mingjue enough time to calm down before saying, "Mingjue, there is one thing you may not know."
"When Jiang Xun was your age, the emperor and Elder Lin arranged a marriage for him, but he would rather risk offending the emperor than reject the emperor's kindness."
"As expected, the emperor was furious. He scolded him for being ungrateful. He refused the grace and favor bestowed upon him by heaven and the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Jiang Xun remained calm and calmed down his father's anger with just one sentence."
"He said that there are things in this world that are more permanent than honor, shame, happiness, and even more important than life, and that is faith and family and country.
He hoped to be single all his life like Mr. Lin, and to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, the land of Shengchao, and the emperor's people, willing to go through fire and water and die for them. ”
When Cui Mingjue heard this, he looked up with a hint of shock in his eyes. Even Zhao Huailang couldn't help but feel emotional when he repeated these words.
"Mingjue, if someone else said this, I would definitely think it was just flattery, but Jiang Xun——"
"Even I don't know how he did it."
"If there comes a day in the future... as long as Jiang Xun has no second thoughts, such a loyal minister will be used."
After hearing this, Cui Mingjue became even more silent.
When a person is so pure, is it because he is sincere and resolute, with no distractions in his mind, or is it because he hides it too deeply for everyone to see clearly?
At this time, Zhao Huailang couldn't help but said earnestly:
"Ming Jue, the human heart is hard to predict. Jiang Xun said that at the time. It is possible that he did not have a favorite person, so he did not want to get married easily."
"But what if he has it now?"
"People are all made of flesh and blood, especially when it comes to love, which can make people lose control and become infatuated."
"Do you have the confidence to compete with Jiang Xun?"
Cui Mingjue was unable to respond for a moment. Seeing this, Zhao Huailang knew that he had said enough today.
He pushed the cakes on the table in front of Cui Mingjue, and finally said in a gentle voice:
"Mingjue, the welcoming banquet next month is crucial. Whether it's Shen Jiasui or Princess An Ning, you have to choose one of them. If you can't get what you want, then your cousin can only ask you to consider the overall situation."
Cui Mingjue knew the pros and cons of this, so he suppressed all his emotions and bowed to Zhao Huailang and said:
"Mingjue will not let my cousin down, so I will do my best."
As soon as the words fell, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the carriage:
"Brother Heng!"
Cui Mingjue's heart skipped a beat and he lifted the car curtain almost subconsciously.
He looked up and saw a beautiful face peeking out from a carriage not far away. It was bright and radiant, like the warm sunshine in spring.
Shen Jiasui!
