Chapter 45 True or False
Xiao Cui's voice is very penetrating.
Ordinary people would often be frightened by her boldness, but Ji Yanqing did not react at all.
Ignoring the secret guards who showed up around him and the palace maids who were shouting around him, Ji Yanqing's mind was extremely clear.
He only looked at Ye Jinshu and spoke slowly and calmly, making people feel comfortable listening to him: "The princess said that I don't need to kneel here. Does this still count?"
Ji Yanqing's words brought Ye Jinshu back from the past. Perhaps because he was too calm, Ye Jinshu also calmed down after hearing his calm words.
Realizing that the people around him were overly worried because of his crying, Ye Jinshu waved at them and said, "It's okay, you go down first."
The secret guard was very obedient. As soon as Ye Jinshu opened his mouth, he disappeared.
Xiao Cui secretly gave Ji Yanqing a warning look behind Ye Jinshu's back before leaving.
Now, only Ji Yanqing and Ye Jinshu were left in the courtyard of Anping Palace.
Unreasonable.
But Ye Jinshu didn't care.
When it was getting dark, Ye Jinshu asked, "I think you have never been scared since the first time I saw you. What else do you do besides writing storybooks?"
Ye Jinshu often chatted with Ji Yanqing, but most of the time they talked about things in the storybooks. This was the first time that Ye Jinshu took the initiative to ask Ji Yanqing about himself.
Even if it's just out of pure curiosity.
"On weekdays, besides writing storybooks, I also try to avoid matchmakers."
It can only be said that Ji Yanqing deserves to be at the top of the best-selling list of vernacular novels. Just one sentence aroused Ye Jinshu's interest.
Ye Jinshu remembered how sleepy Ji Yanqing looked today, and realized something, "Is there a matchmaker today as well?"
Ji Yanqing nodded and smiled beautifully at Ye Jinshu: "Fortunately, the princess summoned me to the palace."
Ye Jinshu was completely unaware of Ji Yanqing's flirting.
Instead of paying attention to Ji Yanqing, she now cares more about gossip.
"Why are you trying to refuse? It's a family introduced by the matchmaker, so why not?"
Ji Yanqing shook his head: "I am just a commoner who is suspicious and can't trust others. Talking about marriage easily will only delay others."
"Can't trust people?"
"Ok?"
"There's nothing I can do."
Ji Yanqing:
Instead of asking why you can't trust people, you ask how much you don't trust people. This is indeed the princess' style.
Ji Yanqing chuckled and replied, "It's not that I don't trust people, but rather that as long as someone has lied to me, I will never believe him again, even if I know that what he said later is true."
Ye Jinshu was confused and didn't understand what was being said, but she didn't want to say directly that she didn't understand.
When she was thinking about how to get Ji Yanqing to explain further, Ji Yanqing seemed to know what she was thinking and continued to explain: "I can easily tell whether a person is lying or not. If that person is lying, then even if I know he is telling the truth, I will not believe him anymore."
Ji Yanqing lied here.
As a commoner now, he simply would not believe it, but as he used to be, he would not be able to help but find ways to execute that person with all kinds of reasons, and no one could stop him.
Even though he knew clearly what was true and what was false in other people's words, he still could not tolerate someone lying to him.
Even saying nothing is better than telling those clumsy lies.
"Ji Yanqing, there is a bird on your boot." Ye Jinshu suddenly spoke, wanting to see Ji Yanqing's reaction. But Ji Yanqing didn't look at his boots, but just stared at Ye Jinshu, trying his best to hide the doting in his eyes: "The princess is lying."
Ye Jinshu was indeed lying, but she didn't expect that Ji Yanqing could really tell that she was lying!
It's really amazing.
Ye Jinshu felt that she had to try again, and she said, "Xiao Cui said she likes you!"
Xiao Cui, who was hiding far away and couldn't hear the conversation clearly, suddenly felt a chill on her back:?
Ji Yanqing came to the answer without hesitation: "You are still lying."
“I really like your book!”
"This is real."
Ye Jinshu was shocked: "You actually knew it! How did you do it?"
"I can see it."
"How did you see it?"
Ji Yanqing thought about it and decided to say it in some language that Ye Jinshu could understand: "Some people who are not good at lying can be seen by looking at their expressions. Eyes wide open, eyebrows raised, legs and feet shaking when talking, touching the nose, holding hands, lowering the head, breaking fingers, looking around, they may be lying, it depends on the person."
Ye Jinshu was now looking at Ji Yanqing with admiration. The last person who received this look from her was the omnipotent Jiang Sisi.
"If I remember these, can I tell whether the other person is lying?"
Ji Yanqing shook his head: "Just remembering it may not be accurate. Everyone's reaction is different. If you meet someone who is good at lying, they usually won't do these things."
Ye Jinshu recalled that the heroine in Ji Yanqing's works could always easily tell whether the other party was lying, and she had reasons and evidence. It turned out that Ji Yanqing was using the heroine to write about himself!
Speaking of which, it is strange for a man to write a story from this perspective. Is there any possibility that Ji Yanqing
"My Lord, my intuition tells me that you are thinking about something that is not true."
This was the first time that Ji Yanqing showed some of his strength in front of Ye Jinshu, but, for the simple-minded Ye Jinshu, this little bit of strength was enough to shock her.
"You know all this?!"
"I can tell."
"I was thinking that the story you wrote was from the perspective of the heroine, and the heroine is a bit like you, so, do you like men?"
Ji Yanqing:
As for Ye Jinshu, Ji Yanqing had to admit that sometimes he was unwilling to believe that it was true even if he guessed it.
"Princess, I don't like men."
Now, even Ye Jinshu realized that Ji Yanqing had been calling herself "I" just now, but after she said this, she became a commoner.
She thought again of what Ji Yanqing had said just now. If he found out that she had lied to him, then even if he could tell the truth later, Ji Yanqing would no longer be able to trust this person.
Ye Jinshu realized something belatedly, covered his mouth and looked at Ji Yanqing: "I just lied to you! Will you never believe me again in the future?"
"No." Ji Yanqing said slowly, word by word, "The princess is different."
Ye Jinshu was not moved by the ambiguous words: "They all have two eyes, one nose, and one mouth. What's the difference?"
"Different." Ji Yanqing did not lie. Ye Jinshu was really different in his eyes.
In Ji Yanqing's world, there is something on everyone's face, and as long as people speak, this thing will show whether they are true or false.
True means what is said is true, and false means it is a lie.
He was never wrong in his judgment of the truth.
