The General's Mansion.
Liu Lanxin looked at the two maids in front of her with a gloomy expression, anger welling up in her eyes: "What do you mean, maids?"
She pointed at a gift box in front of her, her face becoming increasingly gloomy.
"I am going to marry King Jing, and the dowry I bring with me when I get married is also for King Jing's face. If such an item appears, is it my face that is slapped, or the face of King Jing, or the face of the imperial concubine?" Liu Lanxin snorted coldly, the anger in her eyes could hardly be suppressed, and the words blurted out.
If she hadn't known that the two old women in front of her were the Queen's people, she would have had these two old beggars dragged down and beaten to death!
"This is the Empress's opinion, not mine." The two maids looked at each other and said with a wooden face, "If Miss Liu feels that it is not right, you can go to the palace and make a suggestion to the Empress."
"Recently, one thing after another has happened. Miss Liu was going to marry Prince Jing, but she got involved with Concubine Ji, which caused Concubine Ji to get into big trouble. Madam Ji is seriously ill. Even if the imperial concubine is here, she will definitely hold Miss Liu accountable for such behavior." said another maid.
"If Miss Liu acts on her own, it will probably anger the emperor." The previous maid added.
The two mothers-in-law threatened Liu Lanxin one after another, which made Liu Lanxin so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She has a lot of things on her plate now. On the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, Ji Youran's affairs, every one of them gave her a headache. If she had known it would end up like this, she would never have done anything.
She only hated that she was also being plotted against, but she was frustrated that she couldn't find that person.
He slammed his hand on the table, "You can put it inside, but not in the front."
She had no choice but to endure it and wait until her strength was combined with Pei Yusheng's. She would see if the Queen still dared to humiliate her like this.
"Since it was given by the Queen, how can it be put at the back? At most, it can be placed in an inconspicuous place." A maid said. This was already the biggest concession.
"Okay!" Liu Lanxin gritted her teeth and endured it. She had to endure it.
There is a jade ruler in the brocade box.
It was not used as a ruler, but it clearly showed the Queen's dissatisfaction with her. She had to make this dissatisfaction public, especially at such an important time. Liu Lanxin only hated that she had no means now, or she would have to fight to the death with the Queen.
This was to save face for the Queen, but she had no choice but to agree to it.
We had also sent people to Prince Jing's mansion to ask for help, but Prince Jing was not there. He left a message saying that everything should be discussed after she got married, and that nothing should be done at this time.
"Then I will arrange it right away." The two maids looked relaxed. They had finally completed the Queen's order. They were just afraid that Miss Liu would refuse to obey and the Queen would get angry, and they would be in trouble.
Miss Liu can show weakness, which makes everyone look good.
On the wedding day, three loads of dowry were left behind the sedan chair. The three loads of dowry were left behind intentionally to preserve the joyous atmosphere of the folk wedding.
Ordinary brides do not have that much dowry, so there is no such thing as sending the dowry in advance. On the wedding day, the dowry is just sent along with the sedan chair.
The daughter-in-law of a royal family has a noble status and her dowry is large and valuable. It is feared that there will be confusion when delivering it on the day. If it is accidentally made a mistake or damaged, it will be a big deal.
As it should be, the Ministry of Rites also stipulated that the bridal load should be delivered in advance, leaving only three loads behind to follow the bridal sedan to add to the fun.
The Queen's jade ruler is placed in the
First of all, in the dowry, because it was given by the Queen Mother, no matter how small or strange the gift was, it had to be kept in the most conspicuous place.
She had just married into the royal family, but she was rewarded with a jade ruler by the Queen Mother. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with Princess Jing, or that Princess Jing had done something that was criticized.
After Pei Yusheng knew about this, he specially sent someone to tell Liu Lanxin that it was inconvenient for him to come to welcome the bride in person that day, and specially brought the Queen's jade ruler.
Liu Lanxin agreed with hatred and annoyance.
Pei Yusheng was afraid that people would think that the Queen was referring to him, so he avoided her.
Liu Lanxin also wanted to avoid it, but she couldn't. The dowry was hers and would definitely follow her into Prince Jing's Mansion. When she thought that when others talked about her wedding in the future, what they would remember most was the jade ruler bestowed by the Queen, Liu Lanxin was so angry that she couldn't even eat.
If she could become the queen someday, she would definitely kill all of the queen's family to avenge today's death.
The two maids left to prepare her dowry. Liu Lanxin sat in the flower hall with a grim face, and the anger in her heart surged up.
She has always been spoiled and even when she came to the capital she only suppressed her temper temporarily. Now that she was suppressed by the queen, she felt that she could not swallow this humiliation no matter what.
"How is the investigation of the incident going?" Liu Lanxin asked. Since she was not having an easy time, she couldn't let the Queen have an easy time either.
She couldn't do anything to the Queen, but she could expose some scandals. At the time, Liu Jingyu was not yet the Crown Princess, and had not yet been engaged to the Crown Prince...
"Don't worry, Miss. I have made all the arrangements." The one who answered was Haiqing. Her face was still pale, but she could walk normally, just a little slower.
Compared with ordinary maids, Liu Lanxin's two maids were much stronger than others.
Even after being caned, Haiqing can now walk and act normally.
Moreover, because she had been beaten with a stick before and had been recuperating in the mansion, even if she made any movements, it would not attract anyone's attention.
Prince Jing is about to get married, and all the attention in the capital is directed towards the General's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion. Liu Lanxin needs to be more cautious in her actions now.
Naturally, she could think of this.
"Those two maids...are they okay?" Liu Lanxin asked another question.
"Miss, don't worry. Everything has been arranged. When they arrived at the Qu Mansion, we asked them to interact with the people there. Even if the people there are wary, they will definitely interact with each other. If something gets out, it's not the fault of the two maids in our mansion. Besides, that person... wasn't sent by us."
"That's good!" Liu Lanxin sneered, "On the day of the wedding, things happened in the Eastern Palace one after another. The Crown Princess looked innocent, but is she really innocent? Since the Queen wants to embarrass me, then let's do it together. At least I will only be scolded by the Queen. The Queen and Concubine He didn't get along well in the first place."
The relationship between the Empress and Concubine He was not harmonious, just as everyone knew that the Crown Prince and Prince Jing had a life-and-death relationship. As the Princess of Jing, Liu Lanxin was reprimanded by the Empress, but it didn't sound like a big deal.
After all, she married Prince Jing Pei Yusheng, the daughter-in-law of Concubine He, so it would be strange if the Queen Mother was pleased with her...
The wedding at Prince Jing’s Mansion.
Qu Moying didn't get up early, just like usual. When he got up, Pei Yuanjun had already gotten up.
"Master, the prince said you should not be impatient. He will go into the palace first and then take you to Prince Jing's mansion."
Xiu heard the noise on the bed and came over with a cup of warm water.
Qu Moying sat up, took the tea, took a sip, and calmed himself down.
"good!"
Yuchun helped her up, washed up, and brought her breakfast. Qu Moying ate a little and then put down the bowl in her hand.
He gently wiped the corner of his lips with a handkerchief: "How's it going outside?"
Look at the sky outside, the bridal sedan should have set off by now. For a royal wedding, the wedding would have to go through at least half of the capital, so they had to leave early to avoid missing the date.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing did not personally welcome him, but only sent someone from the Ministry of Personnel to say that Prince Jing was like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and that they were brothers. As a younger brother, he could not surpass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The two were married so close, so Prince Jing should follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in everything."
Yuxiu knew what her master was asking and reported it one by one.
This reason was really ironic. After he said it, not only Yuxiu laughed, but even Yuchun couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Everyone knows that the Crown Prince and King Jing, who were fighting like chickens, are still so friendly and respectful to each other. Few people would believe it if they told you.
"Why doesn't Prince Jing come to welcome him in person?" Qu Moying also smiled. This news was not found out yesterday, which showed that it had been kept tightly blocked. Pei Yusheng would not give up such an opportunity to show goodwill to the General's Mansion for no reason. There must be a reason.
"I didn't see it, but I heard about it." Yu Xiu smiled, "Among the three loads of dowry, the first load contained a jade ruler given by the Empress. It was stuck in the dowry. Many people are talking about it now. They are saying that Miss Liu didn't follow the rules of the boudoir and was reprimanded by the Empress. Did she do something that caused the Empress to give her the jade ruler?"
On the wedding day, the Queen Mother bestowed a jade ruler, which was a really embarrassing thing, almost like throwing Liu Lanxin's face on the street for people to step on.
Such an important day, the only day in life, actually made the Queen embarrass herself like this.
Not to mention Liu Lanxin, Qu Moying felt that if it were her, she would not be able to tolerate this tone. However, based on Pei Yuanjun's personality, the queen would not do such a thankless task that might even cause trouble. On the surface, this guy just looked like a carefree person.
You can still find something to do when there is nothing to do, let alone when there is really something to do.
"It looks like... today won't be peaceful." Qu Moying said meaningfully, reaching out to pick up a hairpin and handing it to Yuchun. Yuchun took it, looked at Qu Moying's bun, gently pressed a corner of the bun, and carefully inserted it. There was a light green lotus on the hairpin, which made it look quite beautiful and elegant.
There was a hint of haziness in Qu Moying's clear eyes, which made her look even more delicate and beautiful. The dark red color in the corner of her eyes looked like a bud on a beautiful lotus leaf.
There is more tenderness in the infinite scenery.
The clothes she prepared were as elegant as a hairpin. The light lotus-colored eight-sided waisted skirt had a slender waist that could be held in one hand. The light plum-colored skirt had lavender plum blossoms that added a bit of festive atmosphere. After all, today was the day of King Jing's wedding, and as the Queen of England, Qu Moying couldn't let people think she was too plain and disappointing.
Even though they had been following Qu Moying, the two maids couldn't help but be amazed when they saw her dressed up. In terms of beauty, there really wasn't anyone in the whole capital who could compare to her...
Or there is a unique one.
Only His Royal Highness is worthy of my lady...
