I heard that this second prince was not kind and gentle...
"Miao Ma, I think this second prince must be extraordinary. Who knows what he is thinking when he comes here this time? Is this second princess here to marry? Who is she going to marry?" Yu Xiu was concerned about this second princess. Marry? Several princes here are getting married, and some are sick. Could it be the King of Yan
There are several princesses who have taken a fancy to Prince Yan. Are they going to let Prince Yan marry a girl from a foreign country
“Could it be... Prince Yan?” Nanny Miao thought for a moment and said hesitantly. This seemed to be the most likely candidate. With Prince Wei’s physical condition, she might become a widow if she married him. How could the princess of Northern Frontier be willing to do that
"I think it might be the Eastern Palace." Yuchun also joined in the fun.
"Why would it be the Eastern Palace? There have been a lot of things going on in the Eastern Palace recently, and they are the rulers of a country. It shouldn't be possible!" Yuxiu shook her head.
The Eastern Palace is in a turbulent time right now, and the Crown Prince should not want to cause any more trouble. Besides, he used to be known as a deeply affectionate person, but the fact that he keeps marrying makes people suspicious.
The crown prince is the heir to the throne, and the issue of offspring is also related to the country.
Yuchun had just said it casually, but now she was speechless and could only stick out her tongue: "Okay, I was wrong, then... there is still a chance to enter the palace!"
"This is possible. There has always been a saying that princesses who are married to foreign countries can enter the palace. After all, the emperor has such a concubine in his harem, which is also good for the diplomatic relations between the two countries." Yuxiu thought about it this time and felt that it was possible.
No one among the younger generation is suitable, only the emperor is suitable.
"There is another one." Nanny Miao's eyes turned, and she suddenly thought of another possibility.
"Who?" This time even Qu Moying became curious.
"I heard that the prince born by Empress Yuan will come to the capital. If it is really born by Empress Yuan, he will definitely be crowned a king after coming to the capital. At that time, he will be a young prince and can marry the princess of Northern Frontier as his principal wife."
"This... seems to be really possible." Yuchun thought about it and felt it made sense.
Listening to the conversations of several people, Qu Moying's eyelashes flickered slightly and he fell silent. This matter was naturally a deliberate attempt to create confusion. There was no other prince...
No prince of Empress Yuan has ever come to Beijing...
"Master, will you be interested in our prince?" Yu Chun, who was in the discussion, suddenly thought of another question and asked Qu Moying anxiously.
Qu Moying smiled and shook her head. She had never had such worries before.
It’s not that she wouldn’t like him, but even if she did, so what? She never worried about Pei Yuanjun.
"Can she just like it if she likes it? We also need our prince's consent. Does she really think this is the Northern Frontier?" Yuxiu snorted coldly.
No matter where this second princess came from, she felt that her family wouldn't care.
The second princess might be able to enter the Eastern Palace, or the Prince of Jing's Palace, the Prince of Wei's Palace, or even the Prince of Yan's Palace and the Imperial Palace, but she would never be able to enter her own Prince of Ying's Palace.
The maids all saw the master's feelings for his mistress. When the two of them were together, there was no room for anyone else.
What does it matter if this second princess is extremely beautiful? Besides, they really don't think there is anyone better than their master.
Qu Moying drooped her eyelashes slightly, leaned back, her eyes calm, and she didn't care about what the maids said. She was thinking about Miss Si Tong's affairs.
This eldest lady of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion is really hard to describe. I have been very busy these past few days, and she has been busy too, coming to the mansion to find Yudong from time to time. The meaning behind this is really self-evident, and she is very persistent.
If you were so persistent, why did you let go in the first place
At this moment, it seems that the time is not right. She really thinks that this Miss Tong is so restless and must have something to rely on. But she doesn't know what she relies on. A young lady whose house has been ransacked and who has not been able to show up normally until now, who has she relied on for all these years to not only survive but also seem to be living well.
I have never touched water, and I still do this after all these years!
This is not just a matter of skill.
"Let Yudong go to Miss Tong again. If there is anything she needs, she can ask for it." Qu Moying moved his fingers slightly, "But... I may not be able to do it."
This time and this opportunity are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Miss Tong. She should have made plans early on, but she just can't see anyone. At this time, even the most calm person may lose his composure.
Opportunities are fleeting. If you don’t seize them, you may never have another chance again. She understands this, and so do others...
"Master wants to lure Miss Tong into taking action?" Yu Xiu's eyes turned and she understood what Qu Moying meant.
"She always stays like this, without making any movement. In fact, she is the most difficult to deal with. I don't know how to deal with her. Now that the opportunity is so rare, she can't sit still. Let's add fuel to the fire."
Qu Moying's watery eyes were moving, but there was no affection in them, only a hint of coldness. She would never show mercy to those who obviously had ill intentions towards her...
"Master, I'm afraid she can still sit still like this." Yuxiu reported. An Dong had said before that Miss Tong could really sit still. It has been so long, but she still looks weak and knows nothing. She just wants to rely on the King of England and nothing else.
No matter how much suspicion there is, it should disappear after such a period of time.
Qu Moying had a hunch that Miss Tong had almost reached her limit by waiting until now. If she waited any longer, the opportunity would be gone in a flash...
This time, the northern border entering Beijing may be an opportunity...
A maid hurried in, and the old woman went forward to close the door and asked in a low voice: "No news yet?"
"I've met someone. They said it will be soon. The exact time... is uncertain." Although she spoke uncertainly, the maid took out a purse from her bosom with a look of pride.
I shook it and could sense the sound of papers flapping inside.
"I gave her some silver notes so that she can recover first. Mammy, you have to get her some better things. She has to recover better so that she can be in front of that gentleman."
"Yes... yes, I understand." The old woman smiled and reached out to take the purse from the maid.
The maid moved away and shook the purse in her hand: "These banknotes must be given to the young lady. Let the young lady keep them with her. If she asks about it next time, the young lady can also tell the story."
The old woman curled her lips, but had to step back. She watched the maid go in before turning around and leaving.
The maid entered and went to the inner room.
The inner room was filled with the scent of medicine, which was not strong and even had a sense of elegance. The medicine used was not ordinary medicine. In addition to the smell of medicine, there was also some floral scent in it. The fumigated smell was very good and could make people sense that the person in the room was in poor health, but it did not make people feel that the smell of medicine was too strong and the taste was bad.
As soon as she saw Tong Yuzhen, the smug look on the maid Rui Huang's face faded. After she stepped forward to pay her respects, she lowered her voice and said, "Miss, I saw the maid named Yudong."
"How is it?" Tong Yuzhen asked, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes, pinching a corner of the quilt in her hand.
Rui Huang shook her head: "I didn't get any definite news, so I gave this to this servant. This is the King of England's intention. Let the young lady take care of her body first and come to see you after a while. You should focus on taking care of yourself now."
The purse was presented and a silver note was taken out from it. The face value of the silver note of one hundred taels was enough for Tong Yuzhen to live a worry-free life here.
Tong Yuzhen took the silver bill out of the purse and threw it aside casually. She then turned the purse over and over to take a closer look. However, no matter how she looked at it, it was just an ordinary purse, which disappointed her greatly.
Tong Yuzhen frowned, leaned back, and said to herself, "What does this mean?"
"I just met Yu Dong on the road. She was delivering silver notes to the young lady on the orders of the King of England. I didn't expect that we would meet on the road. She gave it to me directly and told the young lady to take good care of herself. She said that if the King of England saw that the young lady was still in such poor health, he would punish her."
Rui Huang frowned and told everything about what she saw Yu Dong.
The master and servant analyzed what happened on the road, and in the end they could only say it was a coincidence.
"Have you asked about the Princess of England?" Tong Yuzhen's brows furrowed ever more tightly. This matter was developing too slowly, so slowly that she thought it had almost no effect.
If it weren't for the silver bills in front of her, the medicinal herbs sent before, and the doctor brought over at that time, she would really think that the King of England had no feelings for her.
We haven't seen each other for so many years, why doesn't the King of England want to see me
He only sent a maid. Even if this maid did a good job, she was just a maid. She couldn't completely replace him.
Is it that the King of England doesn't care about himself, or is it because the King of England has too many things to do recently, and that the stupid Queen of England has caused some trouble again
Or is it that the King of England is planning to divorce the Queen, and it is inconvenient for her to meet with him during this period
The first one is unlikely, but each of the following ones seems to make sense.
Seeing her young lady looking worried, the maid lowered her voice and advised, "Young lady, I asked her and she said that she might not be able to recover after recuperating outside the city. You should wait a little longer. Maybe things will get better soon. When I came back just now, I heard that the envoys from the Northern Frontier had already entered the city. They were led by Prince Qilie."
The hand holding the corner of the quilt suddenly tightened: "Already in the city? So fast!"
She sounded like she was talking to herself, and her furrowed brows made her look even more delicate and lovely. But it happened that there were only the master and servant at the moment, so no one would appreciate her beauty even if she was as beautiful as a flower.
"Ruihuang, bring a mirror here." Tong Yuzhen sighed deeply, feeling puzzled, and suddenly told Ruihuang.
Could it be that my beauty has faded and no longer makes people miss me? This shouldn't be the case. The King of England has not married for so many years because of me. Now that I am here, and this Queen is so unbearable, why doesn't the King of England want to see me
Busy, or is there another reason
Prince Qi Lie has already arrived in Beijing, she really can't wait any longer, up to now she hasn't seen any obvious results...
"Appoint Princess Jing to meet."
