Chapter 46 The future is long
When Ji Yanqing first met Ye Jinshu, Ye Jinshu also had this kind of thing on his face, no different from other people.
What surprised Ji Yanqing was that after their first conversation, Ji Yanqing only saw truth on Ye Jinshu's face and did not see a single false word.
You have to know that he also came from the palace. People in the palace often say two out of three sentences that are false, and one sentence is half true and half false. If the listener cannot tell the truth from the lies, in serious cases, he may even lose his head.
It was a little better outside the palace, but only a little better.
In order to sell things at the market, vendors will always tell half and keep the other half. Even so, if they continue the conversation, lies are bound to appear.
This is especially true when I go to local areas for inspection.
The officials' words were either half true or completely false, which made him want to kill them all.
However, the emperor and his master always thought that this was his intelligence and talent, and sent him to do inspection work all day long, and even wanted to pass the throne to him.
It's crazy.
Only Ji Yanqing knew that if he got the throne, he would not use anyone, and would even kill everyone.
He really started to notice Ye Jinshu when he stayed in Anping Palace.
Ye Jinshu didn't visit him often, and when he did, he would talk about things related to storybooks and rebirth.
Several times, Ye Jinshu's opinions made Ji Yanqing wonder if she hated him and was deliberately making things difficult for him, but when he saw Ye Jinshu's face, he knew that she was not lying, but really thought so.
She said that people who are reborn cannot remember the insignificant details of their previous life, but will only remember the major events related to themselves. Even some insignificant pains will be forgotten after being smoothed out by time.
She said that it is impossible for a reborn person to easily forgive someone who has hurt her in the past but has not hurt her yet.
She said that people will fall into a second identical pit. Even if it is not exactly the same, it is exactly the same. A dog will always eat shit.
Ji Yanqing just listened and thought as he listened, it turns out that no matter how some words sound, as long as the person saying them feels that they are true, then they can be true.
I don't know what her mentality was, but Ji Yanqing really modified some of the protagonist's settings according to what Ye Jinshu said. Although this would make her revenge more difficult, it would also be more dramatic.
Originally, Ji Yanqing wrote a story that had nothing to do with himself just to calm his inner desire to kill and divert his attention. He didn't expect that someone would like his casual writing so much.
Once a person has expectations on his shoulders, he feels that he cannot act recklessly and he wants to finish writing well.
I also want to take advantage of the days when I write storybooks to see more of this princess in the palace.
Ji Yanqing wanted to know when the word "false" would appear on Ye Jinshu's face. He also wanted to know what he would think if he saw Ye Jinshu lying.
But there is no chance.
From the day he took the initiative to approach Ye Jinshu, there was no more falsehood on Ye Jinshu's face.
Only that face that looked pure yet beautiful was deeply imprinted in his heart.
That was a face that belonged only to Ye Jinshu.
It was on that day that Ye Jinshu became the unique existence in his life till now.
How could he be willing to miss this?
He has to fight for it.
He must win.
"The princess' lies are different from others' lies." This is the closest thing to the truth that Ji Yanqing could think of.
Ye Jinshu felt that this was a slander against her!
"What do you mean? Are you saying that my lies are so low-level that I can see through them at a glance, so I am different from others?"
Ye Jinshu's defense was really broken.
She hated it when she thought about how she had learned all the tricks from the concubines in the harem for four lifetimes, but in the end she was evaluated as a liar and different from others. There are so many smart people in the world, why can't there be one more like her!
Let her learn all the tricks in an instant and not be discovered when she lies!
Ji Yanqing saw what Ye Jinshu was thinking and wanted to explain to Ye Jinshu that he didn't think so, but in just a moment, he realized that his chance had come.
"The lie of the princess is easy to understand."
"I know, please stop talking. If you keep talking I'll call you Xiao Cui."
Ji Yanqing took a moment to realize that this was Ye Jinshu's threat, and couldn't help but laugh: "If the princess is willing, Yanqing is willing to be at the princess's disposal."
Ye Jinshu was still angry and didn't feel like playing dumb with Ji Yanqing. She asked directly, "Tell me something I can understand right away."
"When the princess wants to know whether a person is lying, she can send Yan Qing at any time." In fact, he can not only judge whether others are lying, but also help give advice on who Ye Jinshu wants to deal with.
However, more haste makes waste. According to Ji Yanqing's judgment, this alone would be enough for him to get rid of his identity as a storyteller and stay with the princess.
There is still a long way to go for the rest.
Ye Jinshu thought about it and felt that what Ji Yanqing said made sense.
She raised her head proudly: "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yanqing knelt down in front of Ye Jinshu for the first time. However, it was not a grand gesture, but another kind of kneeling gesture that Ye Jinshu had never seen before.
She simply thought that Ji Yanqing did not understand the palace rules and that he learned this kneeling ceremony from someone unknown.
Regardless, it's still quite pleasing to the eye.
Ye Jinshu once again discovered that Ji Yanqing looked good in everything he did.
By this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and the palace maids and eunuchs in Anping Palace had hung up lanterns. It was time for Ji Yanqing to leave the palace.
Before leaving, Ji Yanqing "recklessly" wanted to ask the princess to walk with him and chat a few more words, but was rejected by Ye Jinshu.
Naturally, Ji Yanqing was yelled at by Xiao Cui again for being bold.
Unfortunately, Ji Yanqing still looked unmoved and was not frightened at all by Xiao Cui's boldness.
After that, life went on as usual. Ye Jinshu handed a visiting card to Jiang Sisi and personally took the sachet to find Jiang Sisi and gave it to her.
Jiang Sisi was very touched, and her father, the Prime Minister, seemed even more touched.
This was the first time that Ye Jinshu saw the prime minister alive. He didn't know why such a kind-looking old man could be so greedy for so much money that his entire family was executed.
Ye Jinshu thought that she should tell Jiang Sisi about this. Just as she was about to speak, she thought of what Ji Yanqing said yesterday.
Ji Yanqing seems to be very smart.
Why don't you just ask first.
"Has the letter I wrote to the second lady of Marquis Jingkang's Mansion been delivered?" Ye Ruoyan asked while grinding herbs.
"My dear, it has been delivered to the second young lady. She is very angry and is yelling that she will teach that person a lesson."
Ye Ruoyan smiled and said, "Don't you like to steal things? Then go ahead and steal them."
Anyway, it wasn't hers in the first place.
She did it for others.
Update at the card point!
