At the end of this conversation, Cui Shi had not managed to restrain himself. He asked his father a question which he had kept in his heart.
"You said earlier that Ning Que was a proud and cold-blooded person. I think otherwise. There has been information from Chang'an city, including words from the Princess Manor saying that he is an extremely shameless person who is seemingly clear and bright. He is good at talking and is thus doted upon by the Headmaster and His Majesty. How could a person like this be called proud?"
Old Master Cui smiled and did not say anything.
Cui Shi laughed bitterly and continued. "Alright, even if he has learned to be proud from the Second floor of the Academy, how could he be cold-blooded? I always thought that what he had done when he was in the military did not count. He even managed to maintain a good relationship with Ye Hongyu. From what I see, Ning Que is skilled and learned about matters of the world."
