The wedding dates of the three people are too close, even if they don't compare themselves, others will put them together for comparison.
Liu Jingyu has no shame, which means Pei Luoan has no shame. He calls himself the prince, which makes him different from Pei Yuanjun and Pei Yusheng, and he is superior to them.
It was already embarrassing to get married at about the same time as them, and now the dowry of his Crown Princess was not as good as that of Princess Jing. This would make people think that he was useless, or that the person he married was not as good as the one Pei Yusheng married. This idea made Pei Luoan very uncomfortable.
"That day, when my dowry was delivered to the East Palace, an accident happened. It is still being talked about. Compared with Princess Ying, it is already out of style. Now Princess Jing's dowry is going to the city again. Some people will definitely think of that incident. I don't know why those people say... so harshly."
Liu Jingyu said bitterly.
Because of the dowry issue, people are still questioning whether her status as a crown princess is appropriate. Some people even say that she cannot hold the position of crown princess firmly and that she is being questioned by God.
When she entered the palace before, she was reprimanded by the Queen for this matter. Later, she even talked about her not offering sacrifices to the Queen Mother's spirit tablet before getting married, saying that she was not recognized by the Queen Mother or God. Every word of this was heartbreaking. Thinking about it now, Liu Jingyu is full of resentment.
The reason why she didn't go to worship the spirit tablet of Empress Yuan was not because she didn't want to go, but because the prince didn't take her with him. As for the dowry, it couldn't be blamed entirely on her, because it was the prince who failed to protect it.
Just look at the King of England and you will know that Qu Moying’s dowry was almost in trouble, but in the end everything was fine.
"This matter has passed. Everyone knows whether it is destiny or not. As long as you marry me, you are the one destined for me, and no one can doubt you." Pei Luoan comforted Liu Jingyu.
"Yes, Your Highness, I think too much." Liu Jingyu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said softly.
"You go down first and don't think about it anymore. I will send some medicinal herbs to your mother. She will be fine."
Pei Luoan said, this is a favor given to the Liu family.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Liu Jingyu showed a charming smile on her face. Even though she was still crying, it was obvious that she was genuinely happy.
"Go down, I still have things to deal with." Pei Luoan waved his hand.
"Yes!" Liu Jingyu achieved his purpose of coming here, bowed and retreated.
Just as she reached the door, Pei Luoan stopped her again: "Go and make some arrangements. Princess Ying wants to come over to see Concubine Ji."
"Princess Ying wants to see Concubine Ji?" Liu Jingyu stopped in surprise. She really didn't know about this.
"Yes, that's what Uncle Wang meant." Pei Luoan was rubbing his eyebrows again, feeling a little annoyed. He felt annoyed about everything concerning Pei Yuanjun.
"Uncle Wang, what is this?" Liu Jingyu also frowned and asked after thinking for a while.
"She said she came to say hello for the sake of the former Crown Princess." Pei Luoan said. He actually didn't want Qu Moying to come. The Princess of England didn't look as weak and delicate as she was supposed to be. Instead, it made him feel a little uncomfortable.
I don't know when this feeling came about, but I just don't want the British princess to come over.
But he couldn't say no.
"If the Princess of England comes to your house, you should receive her. You two have known each other for a long time, so you can talk about anything, but you can't
If anything happens again, she is now the Princess of England, not the former Fourth Miss Qu. Even for the sake of Uncle Wang, she cannot be allowed to have any more accidents. "
Pei Luoan's eyes fell on Liu Jingyu with a bit of scrutiny.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will arrange it and will make the Princess of England satisfied." Liu Jingyu pretended not to understand the meaning of Pei Luoan's words and answered softly.
Seeing her so gentle, Pei Luoan nodded, and this time he really signaled her to go down.
Liu Jingyu bowed again and retreated to the door. He stood outside the door with a gloomy face. What did Qu Moying want to do? Or what did Ji Youran want to do with Qu Moying
If Ji Youran really joins forces with Qu Moying, this will be a very difficult matter!
As His Highness said, the current Qu Moying is not the same Qu Moying as before. When she wants to deal with someone, she must not involve herself, otherwise she will not be able to protect herself.
Now she is the Princess of England. Just because of this title, if the cruel King of England wants to interfere, she will have no room at all.
I need to think clearly about how to arrange it...
After Liu Jingyu left, Pei Luoan's face darkened. After thinking for a while, he patted the table lightly and said, "Someone come here!"
"Your Highness!" The eunuch hurried forward and saluted.
"Send someone to take a look." Pei Luoan said. He was not really doing this for Liu Jingyu's face. The most important thing was not Liu Jingyu's face, but his face. He couldn't let Pei Yusheng get away with it.
The so-called destiny of Liu Jingyu concerns him. If Liu Jingyu is not justified, people will feel that he is not justified.
If he is not right and his words are not justified, Pei Yusheng may make people think that he is right and justified.
This is no longer just a dispute over dowry, but a dispute over destiny.
Liu Jingyu’s dowry won’t be good, and Liu Lanxin’s won’t be good either.
"Your Highness, just send someone to take a look?" the eunuch asked cautiously.
"Send someone to overturn and mess up these things when entering the city." Pei Luoan sneered. How could he let Pei Yusheng get away with it for nothing.
"Yes, I understand." The eunuch understood what he meant. This meant that they were going to embarrass those people, and they didn't want anyone to know about it. And the more chaotic it was, the better...
After the eunuch left, he thought for a moment at the door, then sent someone to start planning this matter...
Pei Yusheng heard that Liu Lanxin's dowry had arrived outside the city and was waiting outside the city. However, Qu Mingcheng did not let anyone enter the city gate directly, and a trace of annoyance appeared on his face.
"Why don't you go into town?"
"To let His Highness know and have him send someone to pick him up, there are many carriages and horses, and Mr. Qu is afraid that he will be embarrassed at the city gate." The eunuch reported cautiously.
"He is now the second son of Minister Qu, and he has my concubine and Princess Ying with him. With his status, who dares to embarrass him when he wants to enter the city?"
Pei Yusheng said unhappily, and walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back.
A big part of the reason why he chose Qu Mingcheng was because of this reason.
"But now Minister Qu has gone to repair the Empress Dowager's mausoleum. Many people know that Minister Qu is disliked by the Emperor. Some even say that Minister Qu's position as Minister may not be secure." The eunuch reminded him as he followed behind him.
"Then there are the Queen of England and the King.
Is the concubine's dignity still there?" Pei Yusheng asked.
"Everyone thinks that the relationship between Princess Ying and Mr. Qu Er can't be good... They are still siblings because of their blood relationship, but if it is family affection..."
Pei Yusheng understood everything before the eunuch finished speaking.
There is a deep blood feud between the two of them caused by their biological mothers, so if they were to say that there is still brotherly love between them, no one would believe it.
"As for the prince's concubine... this is now the face of the principal wife." The eunuch smiled again and reminded him.
Qu Mingcheng would naturally buy face for Qu Qiuyan, but what he is giving now is the dowry for the principal wife, and the family of the concubine may not be wholehearted.
Moreover, the people at the city gate may not necessarily show favor to a concubine like this. If they have to show favor to the main wife, then what is the point of showing favor to the concubine if they don't even show favor to the main wife.
Pei Yusheng was troubled again after hearing this. Like Pei Luoan, he was also annoyed recently because Liu Lanxin had been causing trouble one after another. Not only had he been reprimanded by his father, but he was also hinted to him that if Liu Lanxin was really such a vicious woman, let alone the fact that she was Liu Xiangshan's daughter, even if her status was more noble, the emperor would not tolerate her.
Pei Yusheng repeatedly stated that Liu Lanxin really had no idea. It was just that a maid was too flamboyant. She didn't know that Madam Ji was in poor health and spoke inappropriately, but she didn't mean it. Otherwise, no one knew that Concubine Ji was pregnant, so how did Liu Lanxin know
Pei Yusheng also applied some medicine to Pei Luoan at that time, just saying that whoever benefited in the end from this matter could not be someone in his house, as the disputes between wives and concubines had nothing to do with outsiders.
Although the emperor listened to what he said, he also warned him severely. Later, even his mother was implicated. It was said that she was reprimanded by his father, and the rewards she received were not as good as those of other concubines. She was ridiculed and mocked by the empress. Many new concubines even followed the empress to laugh at the jokes of their mothers.
Thinking of his mother's angry face, Pei Yusheng became extremely angry.
His mother is the foundation of his fight for the throne. If something happens to his mother because of Liu Lanxin, what use will it be to him to have Liu Lanxin.
The slight bit of excitement he once had turned to ashes in the repeated anger. It was just a little bit of admiration for her, but it didn't mean he had to have her.
"Send someone to pick up Qu Mingcheng and tell him to return to Beijing with his dowry as soon as possible. Don't delay any longer. If anything happens, I will only hold him accountable." Pei Yuanjun waved his hand.
The dowry must be brought to Beijing quickly. Not many people know about it now, and Pei Luoan may not know about it. If we wait until Pei Luoan really knows about it, new accidents will definitely happen. He has to hurry up.
Based on his understanding of Pei Luoan, something would happen even if there was nothing going on, not to mention that there was something going on now.
Pei Yusheng thought so, and immediately sent someone to inform Qu Mingcheng and lead Qu Mingcheng to Beijing. Pei Yusheng felt that he acted fast enough and it would be impossible for Pei Luoan to take the initiative to attack. Once the dowry entered the city, he did not believe that Pei Luoan would dare to take action in broad daylight.
Pei Yusheng had a good idea and made a decision quickly, but he didn't expect that the people he sent into the city would first go to the Auxiliary General's Mansion and notify Liu Lanxin first, which was too late for him. The time wasted on the road was not much, but it was enough for the prince to prepare. This is the capital, and the prince has military power, although it is not much...
