Hualuo Chang'an

Afterwards, Luo Changxi really sent Jing Qing out, asking him to find a way to find out about Ana Jing, not only to find out how true the rumors about her were, but also to find out how she disappeared. Where have you been for a few years?

But after a few days, Jing Qing hadn't found anything useful, but Ana Jing came to the door first.

On that day, before Luo Changxi came back from the palace, Gong Yining was bored all by herself, and was about to go to the small kitchen to check out the dishes for dinner, but suddenly a servant informed that Ana Jing had arrived.Although Gong Yining didn't meet Ana Jing very often, she was always subconsciously apprehensive when facing this person.In fact, she couldn't tell herself what she was afraid of, but she just couldn't help feeling——

You should stay away from this person.

However, Luo Changxi hasn't come back today...

Gongyi Ning felt uneasy, and walked into the inner hall slowly.

Anajing was sitting in the hall drinking tea with a relaxed expression on her face.

"Luo..." Gong Yining said a word, and suddenly remembered that Ana Jing was an outsider, so she quickly stopped the address she hadn't said yet, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said, "Your Highness hasn't returned to the mansion yet." , I don't know...what's the matter with the princess?"

"It's nothing." Anajing put down her teacup, and said to Gongyi with a smile, "I'm just too busy. I want to invite you and Luo Changxi to Jinjiang Chunlou for dinner."

"Ask me...with her?"

"Ah."

"Have a meal?"

Gongyi Ning is really inexplicable.

"That's right." Anajing didn't dislike Gongyining's long-windedness, but just smiled, "Since Luo Changxi hasn't come back yet, let's sit here for a while and wait for her."

Want to "sit for a while" with such a terrifying person as Anajing?

Gong Yining was really not very happy.

Moreover, why did Ana Jing invite her and Luo Changxi to dinner?

Regarding Anajing, Gongyining had an inexplicable intuition. She felt that maybe Anajing had seen through her relationship with Luo Changxi long ago, just as if Gongyining had seen through Anajing's "love" to Luo Changyue Carefully pay attention to" general.Thinking of this, Gong Yining began to ponder again, is this Anajing their enemy or friend?If you say they are "enemies", it seems that there is no festival between them, but if you say they are "friends", it is definitely not counted.

However, judging from seeing Anajing these few times, it seems...

"Gongyi girl..." Anajing suddenly turned her head to look at Gongyi Ning, "Have you figured it out?"

"..."

"If there's anything you don't want to understand, you can ask me directly." Anajing smiled half-smile, as if she had seen through Gong Yining's thoughts long ago.However, after hearing what Anajing said, Gongyining thought it over.From the time of first meeting to now, Anajing's attitude when facing Luo Changxi is very clear.

……

"If you can form a confidant with Princess Zhen Guo, Anajing will die without regret."

……

Gong Yining still vaguely remembered that Anajing once said such a sentence at a feast in the palace.

If this sentence is believable, then Anajing's thoughts are easy to understand.

Although Gong Yining's understanding of the affairs of the government and the public is not as clear as that of Luo Changxi, but when it comes to the ability to guess people's hearts, Luo Changxi is far behind her.When they discussed Anajing's plans in private before, Luo Changxi thought more about Southern Xinjiang, Xiling Kingdom, and government affairs, while Gong Yining recalled Anajing's words and deeds in detail, looking for clues in them, and It is fun to ponder Anajing's thoughts and plans.

By this time, Gong Yining finally understood.

"Princess Anajing invited me today, but because of..." Gong Yining had seen through Anajing's thoughts, and was not so afraid of her, so she simply walked over and sat down, before saying, "... ...It's for the word 'confidant', right?"

Anajing probably didn't expect Gongyi Ning to guess it all at once, with a slightly surprised look on her face, but soon, she chuckled again and said: "Miss Gongyi is a smart person."

Sure enough.

Gong Yining secretly breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and was not so eager to speak.

"Miss Gongyi is beautiful and extremely intelligent..." Anajing really spoke again quickly, but when she said this, she took a meaningful look at Gongyi and smiled, "I'm really a little I envy Luo Changxi's blessing."

Gongyi Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Her guess was correct, Anajing really knew about her relationship with Luo Changxi.

"Miss Gongyi, don't panic. I came here today for no other purpose, but..." Anajing smiled meaningfully, "It's just for dinner."

Just eat?

——Ghosts believe.

Fortunately, they didn't wait long, and Luo Changxi came back.It's just that Gong Yining looked up and saw that Luo Changxi's complexion was not very good, his brows were slightly frowned, and there seemed to be something inexplicable hidden in it.When Luo Changxi saw Anajing, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard about the "dinner", but quickly nodded in agreement.

Since Anajing understood the relationship between the two of them, she stepped forward to lead the way with a wink, leaving the two behind to talk.

Seeing that Ana Jing was walking away, Gong Yining hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with you? Could it be that something happened in the palace?" Luo Changxi first glanced at Ana Jing in front, and then said in a low voice: "Two things."

"Which two?"

"One is that the emperor told me that he has made a decision. He intends to issue a decree tomorrow to respond to the marriage proposal of the king of Xiling and marry my fourth sister into Xiling as the queen. The second is... I went to the palace today to meet the four Miss Huang, she told me about the Eagle Castle."

Of the two things that Luo Changxi said, no matter which one was in a few words, she couldn't explain it clearly. Although Gong Yining was extremely impatient and wanted to know the specific situation, she also knew that this was definitely not a good time to elaborate.She had no choice but to complain in her heart about the sudden appearance of Anajing, while hurriedly speeding up her pace——

If I can finish this meal sooner, I can come back sooner.

Early in the winter, it was already dark outside, and the cold wind was blowing, shaking the lamps on the street.The three of them sat in sedan chairs respectively and arrived at the place within a short walk.

Ana Jing's banquet was held in the private room on the third floor of Jinjiang Chunlou.

When Luo Changxi and Gong Yining walked in and took a look, they felt a little bit puzzled. Just judging from the dishes and snacks on the table, they knew that Ana Jing knew them both very well, and she might have ordered a meal a long time ago. It took a lot of effort.

Luo Changxi and Gongyi looked at each other tacitly, but they didn't speak, they just sat down in silence.

Although Anajing was arrogant and not very likable, she understood the etiquette of dealing with people. Since she set up a banquet, she greeted the two of them like a host, which was thoughtful and warm.The three of them ate for a while, drank a few more sips of wine, and then were suffocated by the heat in the private room, their bodies that were originally cooled by the cold wind gradually warmed up.

At this moment, Anajing put down her wine glass and smiled at Luo Changxi first.

"You entered the palace today, you must have got the news, right?"

"what news?"

"The emperor has agreed."

Speaking of this matter, Anajing was able to maintain a calm look.

Gong Yining looked carefully, only to see a faint light flickering in Anajing's eyes, so that she could see a trace of emotion that she inadvertently revealed.

"After the New Year's Eve, Luo Changyue will enter our Xiling and become the queen of Xiling."

After hearing this, Gong Yining couldn't hold back, and blurted out: "The Queen of Xiling? Is it the Queen of Xiling or the Princess of Xiling... the princess..." Gong Yining was "Princess" for a long time and got stuck.She wanted to find a proper title, but she had never heard of any precedents. She only remembered that Luo Changxi once joked that she was "Princess's Madam", but the term "Princess's Madam" was not appropriate.In the end, she gritted her teeth and asked directly: "...is it your brother who wants to marry the fourth princess, or you?"

Anajing's eyes flashed and she smiled.

"Naturally... I think."

"you……"

"Then why do you 'think'?"

This sentence was asked by Luo Changxi.

"Why?" Anajing's eyes darkened, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, she said, "Luo Changxi, do you know the difference between us?"

Luo Changxi did not answer, but calmly waited for Anajing's next words.

"I don't want to tell you anything about Xiling, just talk about the inner court." Anajing continued, "You have fought in southern Xinjiang for five years, and you have made great contributions to solving a major hidden danger for Da Sunda. Since then, , The border area can have at least decades of peace. But what have you gained after you returned to Beijing? The isolation of the ministers in the court and the fear of the emperor, even your mother's Ling family, will not regard you as their own. You have a whole body of ability, but you can only bear the empty title of a town princess, and go to the palace to teach children every day. By the way, you also have the Xiangnan Army. But I heard that even the Xiangnan Army You don't really bother with the matter. Right? You can only wait for the emperor to be unhappy one day and marry you with an imperial decree. But in my opinion, even if that day comes, you're afraid I won't really use your ability..."

Anajing suddenly said a lot, Luo Changxi knew what she meant.

But Luo Changxi still looked indifferent, unmoved.

"In the world, there are people like you, Anajing, who have a heart for the world, and there are people like me, Luo Changxi, who goof around. There is nothing to compare with."

But Anajing shook her head after hearing this.

"Wrong. You said it the other way around."

Gong Yining couldn't help but interjected: "What's wrong? How is it against the law?"

"You, Luo Changxi, are the one who truly cares about the world. As for me, Anajing..." Anajing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I've always been only for myself."

Gongyi thought about it, and unexpectedly understood what Anajing meant.

Indeed, if Luo Changxi is really just a "goofing around" person, then where does Luo Changxi have so many worries on weekdays?How can you be so worried every day, and you have to endure bad things?Gong Yining pondered for a while, and came to a conclusion: Luo Changxi is really timid.But it was also because of this that she was shown to be an upright and reliable person.

In her heart, I'm afraid she really pretends to be the one who has nothing to do with her...

——The world.

Gongyi Ning subconsciously turned her eyes to look at Luo Changxi next to her, and a strange idea popped up in her heart: The half of her life can be regarded as "swindling, abducting and stealing". Needless to say.However, at that time, I never thought that there would be such a day that she would love such a person wholeheartedly.

—Just a fool, fool.

For such a tiny bit of something that can't be seen in the bottom of my heart... just so desperate.

Luo Changxi seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head to look at Gong Yining.

But with just one glance, Luo Changxi quickly looked away, and said to Ana Jing: "I don't have the kindness you said, even if I insist in my heart, I will never let myself down, let alone I will disappoint those who treat me sincerely."

"I hope so."

Ana Jing smiled lightly.

Gongyi Ningzheng was full of tenderness, and suddenly heard Luo Changxi's words, and became even more dissatisfied with Anajing's attitude.She glared at Ana Jing unceremoniously, and said angrily: "Don't you want to say that you are 'why'? Why did you divert the topic further and further to her?"

"Without Luo Changxi's comparison, I wouldn't be able to show my 'why'." Ana Jing smiled, "I know you guys have been secretly checking me out recently, right?"

Luo Changxi didn't deny it, but nodded and said, "That's right."

"In short..." Anajing said in a deep voice, "I don't have any 'brother king' for a long time. The so-called 'King of Xiling' is me, Anajing, and I am the king of Xiling."

The author has something to say: the next chapter should (?) have a sister and a noble concubine...

In addition, Ana Jing will also explain what she has been doing for a few years after she disappeared... (It is definitely not a rebellion→_→)
