When Qu Zhizhen came over, Pei Yuanjun had already left, saying that there was something else going on in the palace and he had to report to the emperor.
Then he left without waiting for Qu Zhizhen to come over.
Seeing Qu Zhizhen coming back from the bridal chamber a step late, the faces of those present were a little stiff. The reason given by the King of England was really... speechless.
Leaving at this time is just a formality here, and you don't even need to eat. It looks like you are angry no matter how you look at it.
However, speaking of this matter, it is really hard to say what to say. How dare they do such a thing without telling the King of England? If the Qu Mansion had not forced them too much, the King of England's wife would not be so bold.
Anyone would be angry about this kind of thing, let alone this person is the King of England.
The matter of money should not be a big deal for the King of England, but after all, hiding it from him, wouldn't that be a step on the King of England's face? Even if the King of England is now married to the daughter of the Qu family, what does it matter
"Sir Qu, the King of England has left." Seeing Qu Zhizhen's confused look, someone couldn't help but stepped forward to remind him.
"King Ying... is there something important?" Qu Zhizhen looked unhappy.
"It is said that... there is something important to report to the palace." The colleague said, pausing after the word "it is said" with deep meaning.
At this critical moment, what Qu Zhizhen should have done was to ask the King of England to support him so that he could have a chance to return to the position of Shangshu. How could he offend the King of England for some money at this time
This marriage is just a second marriage. So what if we give face to a second marriage? Can we really jump over the King of England
Several people present were quite disapproving of Qu Zhizhen's marriage. He was not marrying a daughter of a wealthy family, but a little orphan. Even if she was related to Concubine Zhu Jing, it would not change her identity as an orphan. Not only would it not be of any help to Qu Zhizhen, it might also cause his two daughters to become alienated.
They all thought it was good because Qu Zhizhen handled the matter in a low-key manner before.
But now that the matter has come to this, why did the saying of "ten miles of red makeup" come up again, and it was even a decent gift from the British palace, this is really... I don't know what to say.
Is there really no hope for Qu Zhizhen
Although they are close friends, it is also for the sake of mutual benefit. If King Ying and King Jing were here, they would stay longer, but at this time... it's almost time.
"I have some business to attend to in the government office, so I will take my leave now."
"I'll come back later. I'll take care of business first."…
One by one, they found excuses to leave. They were supposed to keep it low-key. They could come or not. They came before because of Qu Zhizhen's kindness. Now they left because there was no point in staying any longer...
Qu Zhizhen is confused, his later marriage to Xie seems to be a powerful...
Qu Zhizhen watched his colleagues leaving shaking their heads. He had deliberately kept these few people here to entertain them, but he didn't expect that none of them would stay now. Did they think that his future had come to an end
He clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, but had to put on a smile and walked the person to the door. When he turned around, his face had turned ashen.
He called the man who had just been serving in the hall and asked him about the whole thing.
After he finished asking, he felt his hands and feet were cold. He had a bad feeling before, but he didn't expect that it would be like this. How dare Xie... do such a thing!
Ruined his plans...
"Second brother, why are you still here? The elders are there.
You have to go over and see him." Qu Zhilin came over from the side and saw Qu Zhizhen standing stiffly in front of the hall, and said.
He came here specifically to find Qu Zhizhen. Today Qu Zhizhen was the host and the groom. The elders of the clan were here, so he had to come out to meet them.
"I still have things to do, big brother, please help with the reception." Qu Zhizhen said with a gloomy face. He had no intention of entertaining the elders at this time.
"How can this be possible? You..." Qu Zhilin had only said half of the sentence when he saw Qu Zhizhen's ashen face, "Second brother, did something happen?"
"It's nothing, it's just a matter with the elders. Sorry to bother you, big brother." Qu Zhizhen suppressed his anger. He did have more important things to do at this moment. He bowed to Qu Zhilin, turned around and strode away.
The King of England has left, but Qu Moying is still here, so he has to remedy this matter...
"Madam, the second master is here!" The old woman came in with a smile to report.
Today is an auspicious day for weddings in the Qu family. Everyone is very happy. When the old woman saw Qu Zhizhen coming, her face was filled with joy.
The lady was stunned. Even if Qu Zhizhen was not in the bridal chamber at this time, he should have gone to the outer courtyard to entertain guests. Why did he suddenly come here
Glancing at the other female relatives around her, the lady smiled and said, "Tell him to wait in the side hall first. I'll go see what's going on."
After saying this, he stood up, and several granddaughters followed him. It seemed that the Qu family had some internal affairs to deal with, and the wives and old ladies of several clan members did not care.
Qu Zhizhen was already waiting in the side hall. When he saw the old lady coming in, he bowed deeply to her and said, "Mother."
His eyes fell on Qu Moying with a deep look in them. After a short while, he had brought his emotions under control.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"Second Uncle!"
After several people exchanged greetings, they sat down again. The lady asked, "Why are you here at this time? What happened?"
"Mother, the King of England just came over." Qu Zhizhen said in a deep voice.
"Then why are you still here?" The lady was puzzled.
"The King of England came over and said that he had something to report in the palace, and then he left." Qu Zhizhen looked at Qu Moying, "Does the princess know about this?"
"Me?" Qu Moying looked up in surprise.
"The King of England said before that he would come, why is he in such a hurry? Is there something important?" Qu Zhizhen asked with a frown. He is the nominal father-in-law of the King of England. If the King of England just comes to show up and then leaves, it will definitely arouse doubts.
"I'm not sure..." Qu Moying smiled softly.
Qu Zhizhen felt a suffocating feeling in his heart. The anger that he had suppressed earlier surged upwards. After he suppressed it with all his strength, he turned to the lady and said, "Mother, I have something to talk to the princess about."
"No big deal?" The lady said worriedly.
"It's nothing serious, it's just related to the Prince of England's Palace." Qu Zhizhen coughed softly.
"Father, is everything really okay? Do you need me to do anything?" Qu Qiuyan said. After she and Qu Caiyue looked at each other, they didn't want to leave at this time.
What is happening
"It's nothing, you all go first!" Qu Zhizhen said impatiently.
Seeing Qu Zhizhen's expression change, the lady knew that something was really wrong and looked at Qu Moying uneasily.
Qu Moying comforted her.
Smile, the lady then left with a frown.
Even though Qu Qiuyan and Qu Caiyue wanted to stay, they had no choice but to follow the lady and leave...
"Ying girl, what's the matter with Xie's dowry? Did you give it?" Since there were no outsiders around, Qu Zhizhen spoke frankly.
"Father, is there something wrong with this?" Qu Moying was surprised.
"Did you really add it?" Qu Zhizhen suppressed the anger in his heart, his face gloomy.
"The materials that Miss Xie brought were... very ordinary. I thought they were not good, so I asked someone to add some. Then I asked Miss Xie to go to the sewing room. She was not very good at making boots, so there were special people in the sewing room to teach her. She could use any materials she wanted."
Qu Moying explained.
The meaning of taking it at will is to see what Xie Lian wants. If Xie Lian wants more, he can take more; if Xie Lian wants less, he can take less.
If Xie Lian didn't want it, he wouldn't force it on her. In the end, it was Xie Lian's own idea to give her so many things. With so many good things in front of her, she became greedy.
"You just let her... go to the sewing room and make the decision herself? That's the sewing room of your Prince Ying's Palace." Qu Zhizhen said angrily.
"Father, isn't this good? She can do whatever she wants. Even if she belongs to the British Palace, it is still my decision." Qu Moying said indifferently, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.
The watery eyes that were raised were blank, and it seemed that she really didn't understand.
Qu Zhizhen almost got angry again. When he was in the mansion in the past, this little daughter was very smart. Why is she so stupid now? She married the King of England and is now the Queen of England, but she speaks as if she knows nothing.
"That's the Prince of England's palace." Qu Zhizhen gritted his teeth.
"Father, I know the prince won't care about this kind of thing." Qu Moying said indifferently.
"So... you haven't told the King of England about these things?" Qu Zhizhen felt that he had finally found the key point, and asked word by word.
He was afraid that if he spoke too quickly, his anger would burst out.
"These are all internal affairs. The prince said that we don't need to tell him about these internal matters. Just let me act independently." Qu Moying said as a matter of course.
"But is this an internal matter now? This is something you... sent out, how can it be an internal matter?" Qu Zhizhen couldn't help but scold.
"Isn't my father's business my business? My business is naturally an internal matter. Besides, it's just a few pieces of material, which is really nothing." Qu Moying said softly.
These words made Qu Zhizhen angry again. If it was really a matter of a few pieces of material, he would not have come here. Not to mention that Xie Lian was greedy, he stuffed a few pieces of material into several loads of material, or some other things, making the originally low-key marriage a sensation in the city, and now even offended the King of England.
Qu Zhizhen was really furious.
"Besides the material, what else is there?" he asked after taking a deep breath.
"The others are just ornaments and some accessories. They are nothing. They are useless in the storeroom. It's just right to take them out to save face for father." Qu Moying said with a smile, "Don't worry, father. The King of England won't care about this kind of thing."
Seeing that his daughter still thought it was nothing, Qu Zhizhen was really angry and blurted out, "You have such great ability, just help me get my job back, don't do those unnecessary things."
