King Jing also sent dowry when he got married.
Compared with the wedding gifts of the Crown Princess and the British King's Palace, there were only a few people who came to watch the fun today, and everyone was expecting to see another farce.
While talking about the various rumors about Princess Jing's dowry entering the city, they felt that Princess Jing was the most disgraceful of the princesses. Not only was she always causing trouble, but she also caused such a thing. She didn't look like a peaceful person.
Some people say that Princess Jing was raised and bred in the border area, and her upbringing was different from that in the capital, and she was different from ordinary ladies.
Others said that Princess Jing was extremely arrogant, and that King Jing might have to avoid her from now on.
There is another saying that Princess Jing was really ugly, so the General's Mansion sent more dowry to avoid being disliked by Prince Jing. Otherwise, she would not have made such a big fuss when entering the city.
Compared to the other two princes who married beautiful wives, Prince Jing is pitiful...
After hearing about the various rumors outside, King Jing was so angry that he smashed several pieces of celadon in the house. He was not in the house to receive the gifts, but went straight into the palace to see Concubine He.
Hearing that her son was rushing over at this time, Concubine He asked him to sit down, waved her hand, and all the palace servants retreated respectfully.
"Sheng'er, why are you so angry?" Concubine He said unhappily when everyone left.
"Mother, I don't want to marry her anymore." Pei Yusheng said irritably. There was no room for him to sit still, so he stood up and turned around twice.
"If you don't want to marry her, who do you want to marry?" Concubine He said calmly.
There is really no one in Beijing who is more suitable than Liu Lanxin.
"Mother, I don't want to marry her. Look at what she is doing now, one thing after another. I want to marry someone who can help me, not someone who will be a hindrance." Pei Yusheng was very angry. In the past two days, not only the rumors outside, but even when those officials talked to him about marriage, Pei Yusheng felt something was unusual.
Those respectful words sounded harsh, especially when Pei Luoan was still talking about the matter. Although it sounded harmless and as if he was just discussing the facts, the strong malice in his words made Pei Yusheng unable to sit still.
He had also apologized to his father. It was clear that he had done nothing wrong, but he was repeatedly implicated by Liu Lanxin. The anger in his heart was rising and falling and could not be extinguished.
"You have to marry her even if you don't want to. How can you say you don't want to marry her at this time?" Concubine He frowned and scolded her son.
"But... but she is not a peaceful person... She is just a general's daughter, what kind of identity do you really think she has?" Pei Yusheng has been particularly disgusted with Liu Lanxin recently.
"Being a general's daughter is already very powerful. Can you find another general's daughter who matches you?" Seeing her son so irritable, Concubine He knew that he was very angry, so her expression softened a little and she said.
"Ji Hanyue was much better than her in the past. She was also the daughter of a general." Pei Yusheng blurted out.
"Shut up!" Concubine He suddenly shouted.
Ji Hanyue is already dead, so there is no point in mentioning her anymore. Besides, Ji Hanyue is the Crown Princess and has nothing to do with anyone else.
"Mother, I know. I just don't understand, we are both generals' daughters, why are there so many differences between us?" Pei Yusheng calmed down, sat down again, lowered his head, and leaned back weakly.
"She is the daughter of a general, but she grew up on the border, so it's not her fault.
, she was also framed, the one now is not simple. " Concubine He pointed to the East Palace, secretly referring to Liu Jingyu, "If you had married her at that time, maybe there wouldn't be so many problems."
"That's also a lowly one!" Thinking of Liu Jingyu, Pei Yusheng felt extremely disgusted. He didn't like Liu Jingyu either.
"Don't talk nonsense." Concubine He lowered her voice and scolded, "She is innocent in some of those things. She was just framed. If you can't tolerate her a little, how will she live the rest of her life? You have to protect her face." Concubine He said earnestly.
"That's because Liu Lanxin is too stupid. If I had known this, I would have let Qu Qiuyan be the queen." Pei Yusheng said unhappily.
Regardless of whether Liu Lanxin is innocent or not, in his eyes she is incompetent. He feels uncomfortable no matter how he thinks about a princess who is incompetent but so troublesome.
"Qu Qiuyan as the princess? And let the King of England stand directly opposite you?" Seeing her son like this, Concubine He asked back unhappily.
"Don't worry! She's just a princess of England." Pei Yusheng really didn't believe that Qu Moying had such a great influence.
"You don't believe it?" Concubine He curled her lips, "Sometimes a woman can be very useful, especially for someone like the King of England. Since he thinks the Queen of England is useful, he will always protect her."
The two daughters of the Qu family are enemies. Everyone knows this now. Even if they are sisters, there is hatred for their biological mother between them, and no one will agree with the other.
Qu Zhizhen was really helpless in this matter. His two daughters were fighting like black-eyed chickens, and the whole capital city actually knew about it.
"It's really annoying." Pei Yusheng didn't want to say such irrelevant words anymore, and said bluntly, "Mother, I don't like Liu Lanxin."
"Didn't you tell me before that you liked her very much and wanted to marry her?" asked Concubine He. When her son proposed to her wholeheartedly, she felt torn.
He was unwilling to let Liu Jingyu go, nor was he willing to let Liu Lanxin go.
"The past was the past, and the present is the present. The prince once took a fancy to her and wanted to make her a concubine. Now I'm afraid he is still laughing at me in the mansion." Thinking of the way Pei Luoan looked at him during this period, Pei Yusheng felt a tightness in his chest, unable to exhale or swallow.
"Do you think it would be a good idea to let the prince marry Liu Lanxin?" Concubine He asked back.
This is another sentence that can block Pei Yusheng. Of course, it is not good. If Pei Luoan marries Liu Lanxin, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. How can this be possible!
"Just marry her first. If you see someone you like in the future, take her into your house. With so many things happening, if Liu Lanxin still can't see her own situation clearly and still clings to you wholeheartedly, she would be too stupid. I don't think she should be that stupid."
Concubine He comforted Pei Yusheng.
Pei Yusheng sighed helplessly, "Mother, it can only be like this now. I don't know what she wants to do. She has mixed up in the affairs of the Eastern Palace and made things difficult for everyone. How can this concubine of the Eastern Palace be treated well? Why does she think she can send a maid to come and slap me in the face?"
"This matter... I heard it was just a joke, but it's a good thing she did this, otherwise it might... be bad." Concubine He pondered for a moment and said.
"A fake pregnancy, how can it be made real?" Pei Yusheng said disapprovingly.
Although there were many rumors outside and Pei Luoan himself was unclear, Pei Yusheng still guessed that the truth of the matter was probably false and Ji Youran was not really pregnant.
"What's fake can become real. You are still equal to the prince now. The most important thing is that both of you have no children. If the prince gave birth to a firstborn son...some things might be different." Concubine He said after a pause.
"That... that can't be fake!" Pei Yusheng took a breath.
"Real or fake? After this period of time, who knows whether it is true or fake? The fake can be eliminated, and the real can be reborn, but the competition is about time." Concubine He said disapprovingly, "The emperor is still here, as long as the emperor believes this... it will be fine."
"Mother, are you saying... that the Crown Prince also knows about this?" Pei Yusheng's eyes widened as he asked in surprise.
"It's hard to say whether the crown prince is involved or not, but that's fine. The crown princess is not someone who is easy to deal with. Compared to your house... at least the Eastern Palace will not be peaceful." Concubine He curled her lips sarcastically, "The crown princess thinks that she will be high and mighty after marrying into the Eastern Palace. She doesn't even look at how the previous one... died."
This was a taboo, Pei Yusheng frowned, his eyes twitched, and he said no more. The mother and son understood what he meant, so there was no need to say too much.
There are some things that everyone is actually suspicious of...
Qu Moying visited Ji Taifu in his room.
As long as the main house of the Ji Mansion is still there, Qu Moying is a relative by marriage and should have dealings with the Ji Mansion, and Madam Ji would not dare to really drive her away.
This time she was really sick, and her illness was serious.
The eldest granddaughter is still in the East Palace because of her health problems. I heard that she is not in good mental condition now. Some people also say that Ji Youran has gone crazy.
No matter what it was, Mrs. Ji was blamed by her son and grandson, and she really fell ill in anger.
"Is the Madam in good health?" Qu Moying came in and asked as a routine matter.
"Thank you, Princess Ying. My health is just like this. I am not going to be able to recover tomorrow." Madam Ji smiled bitterly and leaned on the bed. She seemed to have lost all her energy overnight. She was listless and coughed twice after she finished speaking.
"Madam, you still need to rest well. If you need anything, please come to the Prince of Ying's Palace." Qu Moying said.
Mrs. Duan stood beside the bed, looking worried and not in good condition. She lowered her head and coughed from time to time, looking very sick.
Something happened to Ji Youran. Although we don’t know the details, we heard that it was related to pregnancy, and the entire Ji family was shocked.
But it was no use shaking it again. The child was gone, and Mrs. Ji was heartbroken.
This child might be the savior of the entire Ji family, but now she has ruined her life. The meaning behind this is enough to make Madam Ji so heartbroken that she can't get up and regret it endlessly.
"I don't have much to ask for, except for one thing... I want to ask the Princess of England for help, but I don't know if she can help me." Madam Ji looked at Qu Moying with red eyes. The Princess of England hadn't been so annoying in recent times, and now that she said something like this, it was easy for Madam Ji to say something.
She glared at Madam Duan standing aside. If Madam Duan wasn't useless, she wouldn't have come to Qu Moying for help...
