Pei Yuanjun didn't stay in the palace for long, but he didn't rush over after leaving the palace. He accompanied Qu Moying to appreciate the flowers for a while before taking Qu Moying to Prince Jing's Mansion.
He is Pei Yusheng's uncle, and his status is more noble than Pei Yusheng, so there is no need for him to wait early.
They arrived at the right time. When Pei Yuanjun and Qu Moying arrived at the front yard, the sedan chair happened to arrive.
Qu Moying was not in a hurry to go into the backyard. He pulled Pei Yuanjun's sleeve and stood aside to watch the fun.
When the people around saw Pei Yuanjun coming, they all moved to the side, fearing to offend him. This person was not someone to be trifled with, so it was better to stay away from him as much as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Recently, it has been said that the King of England has become much kinder and no longer moody, but he is a military general after all, and the fierceness in him is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Especially some family members in the inner courtyard, they could only lower their heads when they saw him, and did not dare to look at the newlyweds who had just come out of the sedan chair.
There were few people around, so Qu Moying felt relaxed. She reached out and pulled Pei Yuanjun's sleeve, then stood at the intersection, watching Liu Lanxin coming towards her.
Liu Lanxin, wearing a big red veil, came over holding a red silk ribbon, looking no different from any other newlyweds. On either side of her were two lovely bridesmaids. At the other end of the red silk ribbon was Prince Jing Pei Yusheng, who also looked very smiling and in good spirits, with a huge smile on his face.
It was as if today he had finally gotten what he wanted and had truly married the person he loved.
A set of wedding clothes, in bright red color, should also be embroidered in the palace. Qu Moying secretly suspected that Liu Lanxin might have only embroidered a red veil, and the rest were embroidered in the palace.
Her eyes fell on the red veil opposite her. She almost suffered a loss because of that red veil at the beginning. Now when she looked at this red veil again, she could see it more clearly than most people.
There was nothing wrong with the veil on top, and it did not violate the rules. It seemed that the plot was only used to plot against myself, but not against Liu Lanxin.
They wouldn't be so stupid. They had already planned one thing, and now they were planning the same thing again. But she also didn't believe that the Queen would do nothing.
His gaze slowly fell on Liu Lanxin's feet. The pair of embroidered shoes were a little different. They were similar to the veil Qu Moying had worn before, but seemed more concealed.
There are some tiny dragon patterns sandwiched in it.
Sure enough, the queen would not miss such a good opportunity. Some small things may seem insignificant, but at a critical moment, they may play a subversive role...
Her eyelashes fluttered twice, and she looked at Liu Lanxin and Pei Yusheng walking past her thoughtfully.
Pei Yuanjun pulled her into the flower hall. Everything had been prepared. It was impossible for the emperor and Concubine He to leave the palace. When they paid their respects to their parents, they only faced the direction of the palace.
First they bowed to heaven and earth, then to their parents. After the couple bowed to each other, the ceremony was over. An official from the Ministry of Rites recorded the event. After the last stroke was made, Liu Lanxin was no longer just the eldest daughter of the General Auxiliary to the State, but Pei Yusheng's Princess Jing.
The newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber, Qu Moying also went to the inner courtyard, and Pei Yuanjun stayed in the outer courtyard.
Qu Moying was not in a hurry to make a fuss in the bridal chamber. He took Yuxiu and An Dong with him and randomly chose a path to go inside, wanting to see the scenery of Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Princess of England!" A somewhat hoarse voice came from behind.
Qu Moying turned around and saw Ji Youran, who was accompanied by two maids.
It should be Pei Luoan who brought her to Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Greetings, Princess England." Ji Youran stepped forward and said gratefully.
"You're too polite, Concubine Ji." Qu Moying said indifferently.
"Thank you, Princess Ying, for waking me up that day. Otherwise... I would still be in the dark, still sinking in... that incident, unable to struggle out."
Ji Youran stood up straight, with a gentle and soft expression on her face.
This is almost the same as Ji Youran back then.
"Is there anything wrong with Concubine Ji?" Qu Moying raised his eyes to look at her and asked calmly.
"I just want to thank Princess Ying. If it weren't for Princess Ying... I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to get over it." Ji Youran smiled bitterly, with sadness in his eyes.
"Concubine Ji has come out, but I... can't." Qu Moying said coldly, "Please tell me about my cousin. She was so young, how could she die so suddenly?"
"This... might be fate!" Ji Youran didn't expect Qu Moying to be so persistent about this matter. Bitterness appeared on her face again and she lowered her head. "If possible, I... would rather be the one who died instead of the Crown Princess."
"Concubine Ji... do you really think so?" Qu Moying said unmoved.
"If Princess Ying doesn't believe me, I... can swear." Ji Youran didn't expect that even though she was so respectful, Qu Moying still didn't give her face, and she became anxious.
“If swearing an oath is useful, why would the Ministry of Justice be here?” Qu Moying said, “I just feel that my cousin has been wronged, and now the one who died…my uncle’s family is all gone. Is it really God’s will that my uncle’s side will die, or does he have ulterior motives?” Qu Moying was blunt.
When she was the fourth lady of the Qu family, she had never been polite to Ji Youran, and she would not give her any face now.
They were not talking loudly here, but one was the Princess of England and the other was the Crown Prince's concubine, and they had a lot to talk about. Someone had quietly come over here and eavesdropped on their conversation while enjoying the scenery.
One is the Princess of England, and the other is the Crown Prince's concubine. What the two of them say to each other is so easy to make people think about impure things.
Qu Moying had long discovered that someone was eavesdropping on what they were saying. She wondered if Ji Youran was trying to use her for something again, so she looked at Ji Youran with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
The conversation continued without Ji Youran having time to speak again; "Concubine Ji, if you tell me everything about my cousin, including every detail of what happened, I will stand by you unconditionally, no matter who you want to deal with."
Qu Moying's words were very certain.
Ji Youran was tongue-tied and couldn't utter a word. She was vaguely intending to borrow Qu Moying's power. The current Qu Moying's power was much stronger than that of the former Fourth Miss Qu.
You don't need too much, just a plausible reason will be enough, and the prince will look up to you in a higher light for some things.
But she didn't intend to talk about Ji Hanyue, especially Qu Moying's words, which almost confirmed her intention to deal with someone.
"Concubine Ji... Was my cousin in a different situation at that time? Otherwise, why did she get into trouble while my uncle and cousin also got into trouble?" Qu Moying did not give Ji Youran time to react and continued to ask in a heavier tone.
"Princess Ying, I... I don't know what you are talking about?" After being asked several questions in a row, Ji Youran finally reacted. She was anxious now, and her voice was not clear.
Become more conscious and sharp.
How could Ji Hanyue’s affairs be told
"Don't Concubine Ji know what I'm saying? Could it be that you have forgotten what Concubine Ji said to me a few days ago?" Qu Moying turned his eyes and looked at Ji Youran quietly.
The gaze looked at Youjing, but in fact there was a hint of coldness in it. Ji Youran only felt a chill overflowing from those beautiful eyes, gradually locking onto himself.
He took a step back subconsciously: "Princess Ying... I... I didn't say anything that day."
"Concubine Ji said that when I went to see her that day, she said that you are also responsible for my cousin's death... I don't know what the responsibility Concubine Ji means? Did you hurt my cousin, or did you make her injuries worse, or did you harm my cousin?" Qu Moying stepped forward and asked.
Just this one step made Ji Youran completely heartbroken and her face turned pale and blue, but she was not an ordinary person after all, otherwise she would not do such a thing.
"Princess Ying, I don't understand what you said. That day when you came..." There were many people around, Ji Youran looked left and hurriedly explained.
"Concubine Ji said that on that day, and now you say this. Concubine Ji, do you think I still believe you? My cousin is dead, my cousin is gone, and your mother is bent on harming people. You were disrespectful to your cousin at the funeral hall. Concubine Ji's words... I won't believe a word of them."
Qu Moying spoke softly, looking at Ji Youran with a look as if filled with poison. He smiled slightly, and Ji Youran's heart trembled twice.
She had always looked down on Qu Moying and thought she was nothing, but now she realized that this British princess was full of aura and was not much worse than her cousin back then.
No... It's not worse, it's even worse. After all, Ji Hanyue was not the Crown Princess at that time, and the one in front of her is already the Princess of England.
Ji Youran was clearly aware that the words before her made her speechless. Even though she knew that Qu Moying said those words on purpose, she couldn't tell clearly. She was wrong about the first sentence Qu Moying said just now, and every sentence after that weighed on her. Besides, Qu Moying did stay and talk privately that day.
And now she is well again and can no longer use her dullness as an excuse.
"Princess Ying, I..." Even though she knew it was useless, Ji Youran still tried to explain in vain. Her lips were pale and colorless, and she almost fainted.
Qu Moying looked at her with contempt, turned around and left with his men.
After Qu Moying left, Ji Youran came back to his senses and stomped his feet fiercely. Qu Moying was such a cheap woman. Her words sounded true and false. But he felt guilty and couldn't say a word in reply. If the prince knew about it, he would definitely suspect him. What should he do...
"Empress." Shui Ning was also panicked, her lips trembled twice before she uttered a sound.
She was Ji Youran's personal maid, so of course she knew some things. She was frightened by Qu Moying just now and was trembling beside him. She was not as smart as usual.
"Let's go!" Looking at some ladies and young ladies who were looking here curiously, and even two princesses coming over from afar, Ji Youran knew that she couldn't stay any longer at this time. Not only could she not stay any longer, she also had to find the prince first and talk to him about this matter, so as not to cause bigger trouble.
Speaking of Ji Hanyue's affairs, she felt insecure, and her heart was chilled. She was afraid that something big was going to happen...
