"Master, just now Miss Qu Si's Yu Dong and a maid from the Fuguo General's Mansion came over to see me and ask about you."
After Ji Hai entered the room, he said to Pei Yuanjun who was sitting lazily on a large chair.
Pei Yuanjun leaned against the armrest of the chair, supporting his chin with one hand, playing with a red jade lock in his hand.
The red jade lock made his hands look even whiter and longer. The jade lock was not big, but it was exquisitely carved with the red color of the jade, and the color was bright and colorful.
"People from the Liu residence are here too... He's got quite a lot of skills." Pei Yuanjun curled his lips, his handsome face revealing a hint of laziness. He was not as angry, flustered, or emotional as outsiders imagined. He handled affairs just like he usually did in the mansion. Except for playing with the jade lock, everything else was the same as usual.
"Master, I have done what you told me to do. It looks like there will be a reaction next." Ji Hai said.
Pei Yuanjun put down the red jade lock in his hand, casually placed it on the desk in front of him, and curled his lips with a smile: "Since they want to reach out, give them a chance to do so. If they don't do it now, they will have no chance in the future!"
These words were said lightly, but the meaning behind them was chilling when one savored them carefully.
"Then sir...what should we do in the palace?" Ji Haitou asked in a low voice.
"No matter what happens, now that part of the matter has been revealed... let's just leave it at that!" Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
Outsiders only see the surface, but fortunately, outsiders only want to know the surface.
It's not just the maids in the Liu Mansion. Pei Luoan and Pei Yusheng, either of them has been quiet. There is an endless stream of people coming to their house for various reasons to inquire about the news.
He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, then glanced at the red jade lock in front of him and said, "Send this back to the palace!"
"Your Highness!" Ji Hai was startled and raised his head. This jade lock was a reward from the emperor. How could it be sent back
"Send it back first. It's not like you don't want it. Just say that this king..." Pei Yuanjun raised his head and looked at the high roof. His handsome face was as cold as ice, and only his voice was as gentle as before. "Just say that this king has been feeling unwell recently and can't stand seeing this kind of red thing."
"Your Highness, this reason is too far-fetched!" Ji Hai said helplessly.
Such an excuse is not enough to fool ordinary people, let alone be presented to the emperor. The emperor will surely be angry when he hears it.
"Besides, I have been feeling unwell recently. Could you please ask the emperor to ask those who want to disturb my peace to stop? I don't want to think about anything else right now. I just want to recover from my injuries."
The loose clothes on Pei Yuanjun's shoulders slipped down a little, revealing his clothes wrapped with a white scarf.
"Yes, Your Highness. I'll do it right away." Ji Hai responded, took the red jade lock from the table, and then stepped back step by step.
Since the prince said so, there must be some truth in it...
The maid from Liu's house went back very quickly, without going with Yudong. She called a carriage and went back to Liu's house by herself, and she didn't even have the intention of going back with Yudong for show.
The goal has been achieved, and the old woman is very happy. As for where this maid from the Qu Mansion will go, it has nothing to do with her. Anyway, she has already found out a lot of extraordinary things.
Hearing that the old woman had returned, Liu Lanxin put down the exquisite phoenix-shaped guqin in her hand.
This is a phoenix-shaped guqin. Although it is called a guqin, it is actually a little small, only the size of two palms. The most eye-catching feature is the phoenix head on it. The phoenix's eyes are a pair of red gems. The whole phoenix shape is carved from golden nanmu, but the wood is different from the main part of the guqin.
Phoebe nanmu is more fragrant and has a hardness suitable for making the base. As for the wood used to make the main body of the guqin, Liu Lanxin couldn't tell what kind of wood it was for a moment. She only knew that although this guqin was so delicate and small, it could be played.
It is truly small and exquisite.
At least in Liu Lanxin's knowledge, she had never seen such a guqin, but she had heard of it.
The box that contained the guqin was very old. Not just old, it was even inconspicuous. There were some mud stains on it that had not been wiped clean. It was obvious at a glance that they were dug out of the mud. It was difficult to clean them at once.
"What did you say?" Seeing the old woman bow, Liu Lanxin asked lightly, her eyes still on the box in front of her. The box was too dirty, so she didn't reach out her hand directly. She turned the box with a handkerchief and examined it carefully.
The maid told Liu Lanxin everything she had heard, and then continued, "Miss, I think this must be a big deal, something that even Minister Qu can't help with. Although I can't tell what the big deal is, I'm sure everyone in the Prince Ying's mansion is in a panic."
"Very panicked? Ji Hai looks panicked too?" Liu Lanxin asked, pressing her handkerchief on a spot on the box and wiping it with her own hands. It looked like there were words on that spot, but after wiping it clean, she found that there were no words at all, just some traces of embroidery mixed with mud, which looked like a bulge.
"Yes, Eunuch Ji Hai usually has no expression, but today he was really panicked. He looked as if he didn't know what to do. After realizing that he had said something wrong, he scolded me a few times before leaving with his people. I saw that he was a little flustered when he walked. Something big must have happened, and it threatened His Royal Highness the King of England."
The old woman said with a smile.
Her master was the daughter of the General who assisted the State, and was to marry Prince Jing. The old woman was very happy to see other princes in a panic. Besides, she had accompanied the young lady to Prince Ying's Palace before and was rejected repeatedly. The old woman felt that her young lady was wronged, and now that she saw that Prince Ying's Palace was in a bad state, she was even happier.
Pei Yuanjun really offended the emperor, and this time the incident was too serious. The emperor must still be angry, so Ji Hai, the most experienced person around Pei Yuanjun, also panicked and lost his usual composure. He couldn't even remain calm in front of the maids and old women. It was obvious that something really big had happened.
Pei Yuanjun's attitude now should be that of a timid person. The entire Prince Ying's Palace seems to still have the momentum of the past, but in fact it is just waiting for the emperor's final attack.
It depends on whether the emperor wants to forgive Pei Yuanjun.
Thinking about how Pei Yuanjun had been rude to her in front of her that day, and then thinking about how anxious Pei Yuanjun was now, she felt inexplicably relieved.
The smile in his eyes had a hint of sarcasm. Pei Yuanjun didn't take his kindness seriously, and now he has ended up like this!
Marry Qu Moying? Although Qu Zhizhen was a minister, his foundation was really shallow. Unlike the others, at least he had the support of the whole family. The foundation of the Qu family was a little weak, especially at this critical moment, there was no one in the Qu Mansion who could help.
If Pei Yuanjun had chosen me at that time, with my father behind me, even if the emperor was angry, he would have to give it to his father.
Be a little friendly.
"Go to Prince Jing's mansion and deliver a message. Tell him that the matter is serious and King Ying is very panicked. Now just wait for the palace's reaction." Liu Lanxin pulled the corner of her lips and said slowly.
There is no need to talk too much. Talking too much will make people think too much. Even if you are just passing messages between two people, try to speak as little as possible.
Of course, this little bit also includes her subjective thoughts.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." The old woman hurriedly took the errand, her face full of smiles. This meant that not only would she get the young lady's reward, but also the reward from His Royal Highness Prince Jing. She got two rewards at once, so how could she not be happy
Liu Lanxin waved her hand. What happened next was no longer her business. She was just the daughter of a general and had not yet reached that level.
But he felt inexplicably depressed in his heart. Pei Yuanjun really had no vision. Why did he fall for a waste like Qu Moying? Isn't marriage just a union of two families? Qu Moying was of no help to Pei Yuanjun at all, so what's the point of marrying her
To ward off evil
Could it be that there is really something to ward off evil
Qu Moying's fate is so good? This is not what the Qingyun Temple Master said before. He is the one with the good fate, but he is just temporarily suppressed by the dark clouds.
As for the dark cloud, it could be a person, or it could be an event, or even a person and an event together.
However, the master of Qingyun Temple also said that his fate was so good that even if it was temporarily suppressed and nothing really happened, the foundation was still there. God could see through it and would definitely enlighten him and show him the way in another way.
So, this phoenix-head guqin is really for me
Thinking of this, her eyes turned to the box in front of her. The box was indeed an ordinary box. At first glance, it looked unremarkable, without even a trace of marking. It looked like the most common object, but the phoenix-head guqin inside was small and exquisite. She had just examined the patterns on it carefully, and they were really good, something she had never seen before.
It looks like the phoenix-head harp mentioned in ancient books.
Rumor has it that the founding empress of the previous dynasty was originally an ordinary merchant lady. She got a phoenix-head guqin by accident, and then met the founding emperor of the time. She then accompanied the emperor all the way to expand the territory and became the founding empress.
The previous dynasty had recorded this guqin in historical documents, saying only that it had a phoenix head and a body, the length of two palms, much smaller than an ordinary guqin. But even so, the tone was excellent. The previous dynasty's Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that this was indicated by the empress's phoenix order, and that the guqin was delivered to the empress by the phoenix order.
There were even many twists and turns in the process, but in the end it fell into the hands of the lady who had not yet become the queen. This was also due to the gathering of the Phoenix Qi at that time.
The emperor is a dragon, and when he walks, there are wind and rain, and the dragon spirit accompanies him. What about the queen? Since she is a phoenix, how can there be no response between heaven and earth
This phoenix-head guqin is the most important display.
This zither was obtained from the farmer. This was also the urgent matter that Qingyun Temple had to deal with today. However, Master Ningyin was not suitable for handling such matters and he did not force the zither out. This allowed the farmer to take advantage of the situation. He then fled with the zither, but unexpectedly crashed into Liu Lanxin's car.
It doesn’t matter who dug out this piano, what matters most is that it finally fell into her hands.
Destiny is upon us, and the phoenix spirit gathers...
