"Madam Ji asked me to come and see Concubine Ji." Qu Moying said, standing up straight. Although she was frail, she stood straighter than most people and seemed more dignified. Therefore, even though her appearance was beautiful and charming, people couldn't help but look up to her.
From his appearance, one can tell that he is a person of excellent etiquette, and his appearance looks much better than Liu Jingyu's.
Such manners would not be so good without years of correction.
Pei Luoan didn't know why he was thinking so much, but his eyes couldn't help but look at her upright figure. This figure was vaguely like Ji Hanyue in his memory.
Qu Moying is now standing next to the pillar. With the comparison of the pillar, it looks even straighter.
Pei Luoan had seen this scene before, and it was the only scene. Ji Hanyue's appearance when standing in front of the pillar was very similar to the British princess in front of him.
None of the other young women stood so straight beside him. Whenever they saw him, they were all delicate and graceful, with their bodies slightly tilted, and they didn't even dare to look up at him.
"Is Concubine Ji feeling better?" Pei Luoan asked casually, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
For some reason, whenever he saw the Princess of England, Ji Hanyue's appearance always appeared in his mind. These two cousins actually did not look alike.
Even though everyone's complexion was very delicate, Ji Hanyue's complexion was a little sharper when she was angry.
As for the current British princess, even if she is angry, she should still be gentle and charming...
"Concubine Ji seemed fine. She told me a few words about my cousin." Qu Moying said lightly. Sensing Pei Luoan's scrutinizing gaze, her brows unconsciously frowned and she leaned slightly to the side. She didn't like Pei Luoan's scrutinizing gaze.
"We talked about the Crown Princess. What was it?" Pei Luoan asked casually.
"It's nothing, we just talked a few simple words. I asked about some things about my cousin, and Concubine Ji didn't look well. What she said was a little difficult to understand. She said something about being injured or sick." Qu Moying said.
"Injured, sick? It's just some nonsense. Princess Ying doesn't need to care. Concubine Ji couldn't bear the previous incident and she was not feeling well. Maybe she didn't know what she said. If she has offended Princess Ying in any way, please forgive her for her poor mental state."
Pei Luoan said gently that he was the crown prince of a country, and being able to say such words would definitely make people think that he had a gentle nature and was not a cruel person.
Pei Luoan is still as gentle and generous as ever, the crown prince of the country.
"It's nothing. I'm also very interested in what Concubine Ji said, but she didn't express herself clearly and I couldn't understand. If Concubine Ji is better next time, I will come to see her again." Qu Moying said.
Having said that, he bowed to Pei Luoan and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment." Pei Luoan said suddenly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you have anything else to say?" Qu Moying stopped and looked at Pei Luoan suspiciously.
Pei Luoan didn't know why he suddenly called someone over, but the smile on his face did not change. He said, "Regarding what happened to Concubine Ji before, Madam Ji said it was because of Miss Liu. I heard that Princess Ying was also there at the time, and it was Princess Ying who brought Miss Liu's maid with her. What does Princess Ying think about this?"
It was just a casual remark to explain my abrupt behavior.
When Pei Luoan said this, there was a hint of probing in his eyes. He had already sent someone to investigate this matter. At that time, the focus was on Liu Lanxin. Now thinking of this British princess...
Is everything really okay
"I went to the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion at the invitation of Miss Liu. Because I have a good relationship with the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion, Madam Ji would also look up to me for the sake of my cousin, so she let me lead the way." Qu Moying said lightly.
"Why didn't Miss Liu go there herself?" Pei Luoan stared at Qu Moying, trying to find anything unusual on her face.
"Miss Liu is about to get married, so it's not convenient for her to travel at this time. Moreover, Miss Liu has no friendship with the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion, so it's not convenient for her to come here like this. With Miss Liu's mentality, she probably doesn't know what will happen later." Qu Moying didn't put all the blame on Liu Lanxin.
The way of discussing things based on facts.
Was it an accident? Or did Liu Lanxin say that to Qu Moying on purpose
Pei Luoan once again looked at Qu Moying's expression and found that her expression was as peaceful as ever. Her long, soft eyelashes fluttered twice, and her eyes were as clear as water, without a trace of ripples.
Facing the prince, she showed no trace of shyness of a young girl and was very graceful and confident.
It's not because she is the Princess of England now. Even before, when she was the fourth lady of the Qu family, it was the same. Whenever he saw her, Pei Luoan would always compare her with Ji Hanyue in his mind.
Qu Moying's words also cleared up any doubts in Pei Luoan's mind, and the expression on his face became more friendly.
"For matters like this, it would be more appropriate to let Miss Liu come over herself in the future." Pei Luoan said with a bit of preaching. This preaching was not harsh and could make people feel good about it, as if Pei Luoan was sincerely persuading Qu Moying.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will try to stay away from you in the future." Qu Moying said.
Try to stay away from them as much as possible, stay away from ghosts and gods, but their identities are destined to be connected, and a close connection.
"Miss Liu's father was the General of the Auxiliary State, and he and Ling Anbo were both first-rank generals at the time. After that... Ling Anbo passed away, the General of the Auxiliary State had more power. Maybe this is why Miss Liu caused so many troubles." Pei Luoan said meaningfully.
Qu Moying's heart skipped a beat. He clenched the handkerchief in his hand tightly, then slowly let it go: "General Fuguo and my uncle... are both first-rank generals. Why is one in the border and the other in the capital?"
"Ling Anbo was implicated in some old matters before, so he stayed in the capital." Pei Luoan said with his hands behind his back.
"What could make a first-rank general return to the capital and give up the military power in his hands?" Qu Moying asked again, frowning slightly, "Could it be that someone wants to harm my uncle?"
If someone else said this, Pei Luoan would definitely be suspicious.
But the British princess in front of him was just an ignorant lady. Her past had already been investigated thoroughly and there was no room for suspicion.
All the differences now are because after meeting Pei Yuanjun, Pei Luoan is more willing to believe that all this is because of Pei Yuanjun.
Otherwise, how could the fourth young lady of the Qu family, who was ignorant of the ways of the world, become the Princess of England? How could she possibly become the Princess of England
He lowered his head to look at Qu Moying, and saw that she was as calm as ever. Although he had some questions, they were not very specific. Having said that, he asked the question very naturally.
A little confused and a little doubtful.
In short, the question is not annoying, it just makes people feel that the person in front of them is ignorant. How can such questions be asked casually!
"This is a matter of the court. Princess Ying does not need to ask any more questions." Pei Luoan said in a deep voice, the smile on his face fading.
"Did someone really want to harm my uncle?" Qu Moying seemed not to see Pei Luoan's gloomy face, and blinked, "My uncle is such a good person, I don't know if he offended someone, how could he suddenly... disappear, I wonder if it has anything to do with the time when someone framed him?"
Pei Luoan was most reluctant to talk about this kind of old things, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Princess Ying... It's better not to speculate about this kind of thing, otherwise it will cause a big disaster."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. If you have any questions, you should ask the King of England." Qu Moying said indifferently.
Pei Luoan was choked and asked Pei Yuanjun? If Pei Yuanjun were to do this kind of thing himself, it would really be a disaster.
"Princess Ying, there is nothing wrong. Why bother Uncle Wang? Uncle Wang is not the type to care about such things. If you talk too much, he will be displeased. Princess Ying should not want to make Uncle Wang angry, right? It would be even worse if Uncle Wang thought that Princess Ying wanted to bring up some old things."
Pei Luoan's words had a threatening tone.
Qu Moying sneered in her heart. The more uneasy Pei Luoan was, the more she knew there was an opportunity. She didn't know the truth about her father's return to Beijing that year. It seemed that someone really had framed him.
Just now, she casually tried it and actually understood some of the meaning.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Having said this, Qu Moying didn't want to say anything more to Pei Luoan. After bowing to him again, he took his leave.
This time Pei Luoan did not keep anyone, but just kept his eyes on Qu Moying. Watching Qu Moying leave with the maid, his brows involuntarily frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
"Your Highness..." The eunuch saw that he was standing there for a long time without saying anything, so he reminded him.
"Go to Concubine Ji." Pei Luoan turned around and strode away. Qu Moying's words just now made him feel very uneasy. He had to go and take a look.
This incident once again reminded him that Ji Youran knew too much...
If you cannot use this person for your own benefit, you cannot keep him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince went to see Concubine Ji again?" Liu Jingyu put down the teacup in his hand heavily, looking very unhappy.
As soon as she came back, she went straight to see that bitch. She had lost all her dignity as the queen. What was so good about this bitch Ji Youran that the Crown Prince cared about her so much
She had vaguely heard people in the mansion say that she, the principal wife, was not as good as Ji Youran, the concubine.
The main reason why she is not as good as him is that this concubine is the cousin of the former Crown Princess, who was specially brought into the Eastern Palace by the former Crown Princess. Given the affection that the Crown Prince had for the former Crown Princess, it is impossible for her, the successor Crown Princess, to get her.
A dead person actually still bothered him so much, Liu Jingyu could hardly control himself.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care about what happened and even tried to cover it up. I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is that kind of person." A maid whispered in Liu Jingyu's ear and advised her. Of course, everyone around Liu Jingyu had heard those rumors.
"Then tell me... what's the reason?" Liu Jingyu said indignantly.
"I think you shouldn't be anxious about this matter, especially at a time like this, you should be more magnanimous. Since the Princess of England can come to see Concubine Ji, you can too. Think about Concubine Ji's face..." the old woman hinted.
Hearing her say this, Liu Jingyu also remembered that old incident. It was just a matter of asking for a favor. But it hasn't happened yet, so it must be useless yet.
She leaned back and nodded, "I should really let His Royal Highness see my good side instead of caring about this bitch!"
