Following the nun was Liu Lanxin, and it was time for her to kneel as punishment.
After entering the room, she first greeted Qu Moying. Now the identities of the two are not equal. Qu Moying is the Princess of Ying, and she is not the Princess of Jing yet.
However, time is running out.
"Master, could you please ask for two amulets for me?" Liu Lanxin turned to Master Shangshan and said, her face slightly red.
After all, she was still unmarried, and she felt a little embarrassed to ask King Jing for one.
Fortunately, there was no one else around at the time, so even though she was shy, she still said everything she wanted to say.
"It would be great if Miss Liu is willing. I wonder when you will need her?" Master Shangshan agreed immediately. The person in front of her was also of extraordinary status, and seeing that they would have dealings with each other in the future, she would naturally not neglect him.
"One is needed now, and the other one is placed in front of the incense table." Liu Lanxin thought for a while and said.
One was for his father, and was sent directly to the border after being prayed for. It was prayed for in the small Buddhist temple in the palace, so it was naturally different from those prayed for elsewhere. As for the other one, it was prayed for King Jing Pei Yusheng.
Qu Moying had begged for it, so she couldn't fall behind. She couldn't let Qu Moying outdo her. No matter how you look at it, she was the princess that King Jing had begged for, and Qu Moying was just luckier. That definitely didn't count for anything in King Ying's eyes.
In fact, Liu Lanxin didn’t believe in the so-called good fate. She knew her own fate. It was the fate of a true phoenix. Whose fate was better than hers
With the phoenix-head guqin, she believed even more that she was born extraordinary and that she could fight for anything and everything belonged to her.
Qu Moying's luck was good, but it was just a coincidence. Could it be comparable to her luck
Of course, that's what people say outside, and she can't refute such words in front of Qu Moying. She knows better who has a better life.
Master Shangshan also had the amulets taken out, and after letting Liu Lanxin pick two, she left with a smile. It was obvious that this Miss Liu had something to say to the Princess of England.
"Princess Ying, how is the matter I asked for that day going? Do you need me to accompany Princess Ying San to the Ji Mansion?" After Master Shangshan left, Liu Lanxin asked Qu Moying with a smile.
He didn't ask at all what had just happened.
"Going to Ji's house... I'm afraid it's not possible..." Qu Moying said with difficulty.
"Why?" Liu Lanxin asked in surprise.
"I'm afraid Madam Ji won't agree... I've asked about my cousin before, but maybe I asked too much. I'm afraid Madam Ji doesn't like me that much." Qu Moying shook his head.
"The former Crown Princess is the cousin of the Princess of England. Why didn't Madam Ji allow the Princess of England to ask more questions?" Liu Lanxin asked.
Qu Moying shook her head: "I don't know why, but whenever I talk about my cousin, Mrs. Ji's expression is always not very good, and I don't like her that much either. At most, she just agrees on the surface. If I ask her for my cousin's dowry again... I'm afraid she will refuse as soon as she hears it."
"Madam Ji... act like this?" Liu Lanxin asked in surprise. This didn't make sense.
"Maybe they don't want me to get close to my cousin, or to meddle in my cousin's affairs." Qu Moying sighed, "My cousin is gone, and my cousin is missing. Until now, there is no trace of her alive or dead... Every time I see Madam Ji, I can't help but ask."
"This is human nature. Princess Ying should ask, is there something shameful going on in the Ji family?" Liu Lanxin asked back with a curl of her lips.
Qu Moying shook his head, looking like he didn't know where to start.
Is it impossible to find the Crown Princess's dowry? Liu Lanxin became anxious. This excuse could be used before she got married, but it was useless after she got married.
If you can't find it at this time, there will be no reason to look at this dowry list next time.
This list is very important. She finally talked to Qu Moying about it, but she couldn't let more people know about it. Since Qu Moying had told her about it, she planned to make it effective with Qu Moying.
The fewer people who know about it, the better.
"Princess Ying, how about I accompany you to Ji Mansion?" Liu Lanxin suggested. She had said this before, but this time she really wanted to accompany Qu Moying.
Liu Lanxin didn't think it was a difficult task to help Qu Moying get the dowry list.
She didn’t dare to go directly to the Ling’an Marquis’ Mansion in the past, so what is the Ling’an Marquis’ Mansion now
"Miss Liu is preparing for her wedding, and today the Queen is... I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go to the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion at this time!" Qu Moying reminded her.
Liu Lanxin's wedding is about to begin, and she has been punished by the Queen Mother, so she should stay at home and wait for the wedding.
If he goes out again at this time, it would be tantamount to disrespecting the Queen.
After listening to Qu Mo Yingke's words, Liu Lanxin remembered the injustice she had suffered today, and her face darkened. She originally thought that the Queen Mother would understand her reasons, and besides, with Concubine He around, she was not afraid of being punished by the Queen Mother.
I didn't expect that I would actually be reprimanded in the end.
I was actually punished to kneel here. The anger in my heart surged up. I suppressed it with great effort.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Princess Ying, I can't go, but I can send someone to accompany Princess Ying."
One of the two maids beside her could be sent to accompany Qu Moying to get the dowry list.
Qu Moying thought about it, and finally agreed: "Okay!"
The matter was decided, and the two men agreed on a time and left the temple.
Liu Lanxin also had to go and "thank the Queen Mother", but if she went too late she was afraid that the Queen Mother would find reasons to reprimand her.
Pei Yusheng was not to Liu Lanxin's liking, and now even Concubine He was not to Liu Lanxin's liking. She could only hold back her anger at this time.
Liu Lanxin has been living in the border since she was a child. She is the only daughter of the general. She has been spoiled by the general since she was a child. She has everything she wants. This love has made her very proud. In the past, she only lowered her head because of Pei Yuanjun, and tried every means to show her gentle side in front of Pei Yuanjun.
Now, for Pei Yusheng, she feels that she has done enough. If Concubine He continues to treat her like this, she will not have a good impression of her, even if she is Pei Yusheng's biological mother.
As expected, she was just a concubine, not very presentable. In front of the Empress, she didn't even take sides with me. I just hated that my father wasn't in the capital, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered such a great injustice...
Liu Jingyu and Liu Lanxin met at the palace gate. Liu Lanxin bowed to Liu Jingyu and then stepped aside.
The two of them were now at loggerheads. Liu Jingyu gave her a cold look and turned away with his men.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage of the Prince's Mansion, Liu Jingyu frowned. When Liu Lanxin and Qu Moying were talking, she was outside the door but did not hear everything. When she felt that Liu Lanxin was about to come out, she turned around and left in a hurry without meeting Liu Lanxin and Qu Moying.
"Ji Hanyue
What's in the dowry list?" He thought for a while and said to himself.
"Your Majesty, would like to see the dowry list of the late Crown Princess?" The maid who followed her was her former personal maid Du Juan. Seeing that she finally spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
The Crown Princess was confident when she entered the palace. She didn't expect to be punished by the Queen. She was afraid that the Crown Princess would be depressed.
"There must be something on the list that Liu Lanxin wants to see so much." Liu Jingyu sneered. This time the incident was entirely caused by Liu Lanxin, and in the end she was even involved. How could she not be angry.
"The Crown Princess can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the list." Du Juan suggested after thinking for a moment.
"It's not in the prince's hands." Liu Jingyu shook her head with a gloomy face. She knew that such a big incident happened at that time. Ji Youran coveted Ji Hanyue's dowry and took away her shop. He even wanted to change her name directly. Later, he had to return the dowry because of the incident.
Now that the dowry has been returned, the list will no longer be in the East Palace.
Putting her identity together with Ji Hanyue's identity would make people sensitive, and she had no reason to take a look at the dowry list.
Not only can't you look at it, you can't even mention it.
Mentioning it would only make her, the successor Crown Princess, fall in love with the first Crown Princess's things.
"Does Concubine Ji have it?" Dujuan asked again.
Liu Jingyu shook her head again. After such a thing happened, there was no way Ji Youran would keep it. She unconsciously kneaded the handkerchief in her hand. Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and she thought of another thing.
The carriage entered the East Palace and stopped at the East Palace parking lot.
Liu Jingyu got off the carriage, tidied his clothes a little, and did not go to the inner courtyard. Instead, he went to the study in the outer courtyard, where the Crown Prince Pei Luoan worked.
There was tight security outside Pei Luoan's study. A eunuch stopped the man from a distance and then went in to report.
After a while, the eunuch came back and respectfully welcomed Liu Jingyu into the study.
In the study, Pei Luoan put down the case file in his hand and said to Liu Jingyu, who had just bowed, "No need, sit down!"
Liu Jingyu sat down politely.
"How should this matter be handled?" Pei Luoan asked casually, rubbing his eyebrows with his hand, his face a little pale.
"My queen mother punished Miss Liu by making her kneel in the Buddhist temple for an hour." Liu Jingyu lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "You also... You also punished me to kneel for half an hour."
"How could this happen?" Pei Luoan's face darkened. He had originally thought that he could get Liu Jingyu off the hook, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
It's not that he felt sorry for Liu Jingyu, but he felt that Liu Jingyu, the Crown Princess, had lost his face. It had only been a short time since she got married, and she had already lost face so much.
"It was Concubine He, who deliberately provoked mother and almost made her angry. I didn't want to see her lose the big picture for the small one, so I listened to her and knelt in the Buddhist temple for half an hour to prevent Concubine He from making a scene in front of the Emperor." Liu Jingyu's eyes were slightly red, and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
Pei Luoan's expression softened: "Okay, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult situation!"
"I don't feel wronged, it's just... I just heard some strange topics when I came out... I don't know whether I should talk about it or not." Liu Jingyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked up at Pei Luoan and said softly, her brows slightly furrowed, it looked like she had encountered some real difficulties.
In particular, it also talks about "strange topics".
Pei Luoan's heart skipped a beat, he raised his hand and said, "Speak!"
