"Master, this is the invitation from Prince Jing's Mansion." Yuxiu handed it forward. The names of Qu Qiuyan and Qu Caiyue were written at the bottom of the note.
Needless to say, the one in charge was Qu Caiyue, who used Qu Qiuyan's name. After all, it was not enough for Qu Caiyue, a "wife", to invite Qu Moying.
"Just say I'm not feeling well and won't go." Qu Moying shook her hand. She didn't want to get close to either Qu Qiuyan or Qu Caiyue.
"Yes, I'll return it now." Yuxiu nodded and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Qu Moying suddenly called her. Actually, it was good that they were willing to come over. She was thinking about what to do next...
"Master, you say." Yuxiu stood still.
"If... they want to come over to visit the patient, let them come over." Qu Moying ordered. Qu Caiyue was not willing to stop, so in that case, let them come over together!
"Master, are you worried that someone over there will come over here?" Yu Xiu understood and couldn't help asking.
Qu Moying smiled lightly: "Of course they will, after all... they gave me such a big gift before, and they can't wait to jump out now, just to show their goodwill to me."
The previous old woman was obtained from Qu Caiyue. Of course, Qu Caiyue herself did not have such great ability. It was King Jing who was the cause of this incident.
Qu Moying didn't want to help King Jing hide this matter.
"Yes, I understand." Yu Xiu understood and walked out with the note...
"Our master is not feeling well and cannot meet guests." She returned the note to the maid at the door of Prince Jing's mansion and said apologetically.
"The princess is ill? Is she seriously ill? How did she get sick?" the maid asked in surprise, and then explained aggrievedly, "Our queen and madam will definitely ask me. If I don't ask clearly, the queen and madam will think that I am passive and will be punished when I go back."
"I'm not sick, I just felt a little unwell before... maybe I caught a cold!" Yuxiu looked up at the weather. It was hot, and everyone had changed into light clothes.
The sun was shining directly overhead, and it was quite hot.
"If you catch a cold at this time, it's a big deal. We need to take a good look. What does the imperial physician say?" The maid nodded with empathy.
"It's okay. The imperial physician told me to have a good rest." Yuxiu said vaguely.
"Once our queen and the lady know about this, they will definitely come to visit the patient." The maid said when she could not find out anything else.
Yuxiu narrowed her eyes, and indeed thought the same as the Empress: "This... I can't make the decision."
"Our queen and madam are the sisters of the princess. How can sisters come to visit the sick and ignore them? I will go back and report to our queen and madam now." The maid politely bowed to Yuxiu, turned around and hurriedly got on the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion.
Yuxiu stood at the door, watching the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion leave thoughtfully, and then turned around and walked in...
The carriage came out of Prince Ying's Palace and went directly to Prince Jing's Palace.
When they arrived at Prince Jing's mansion, the maid got off the carriage and went straight to a courtyard where Qu Caiyue lived.
Although she was only a lady, she was previously valued by King Jing and for a while she suppressed Qu Qiuyan, the concubine. Now that she has become the principal wife, she has not made any mistakes and now has gained some power to manage affairs, which is no worse than Qu Qiuyan, the concubine who has little power.
Some even say that the woman whom King Jing cares most about is Lady Qu, but this title is already
It has been suppressed and it is difficult to bring it up for the time being.
The maid came in to report and told the whole story.
"I'm sick. Did you catch a cold in this hot weather?" Qu Caiyue curled her lips and said disapprovingly, "Really?"
"I don't know either. I didn't see anyone at all. It was a maidservant beside Princess Ying who said it. I handed in the lady's note and then returned it." The maidservant respectfully took out the previous note from her arms and presented it.
Qu Caiyue took it, glanced at it casually, and put it aside: "Did you say I would visit the patient?"
"I did say something, just as you instructed me before." The maid nodded. When they went to Prince Ying's mansion before, Qu Caiyue guessed that Qu Moying might refuse on the grounds of "illness". This was not unreasonable. After all, Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying would not get along in any way.
At the beginning, with me there, the two of them could barely sit down and it seemed that they were able to talk to each other peacefully.
Without me, the two sisters would really fight each other. The last time Qu Moying came, the two sisters fought to the death, and I almost became their victim.
At that time, Qu Moying was only the fourth lady of the Qu family. It was obviously Qu Qiuyan who held the strong position, but in the end Qu Qiuyan fell. To be honest, it was because of this incident that she rose to power.
If you talk about it from this point of view, I have to thank Qu Moying.
After asking the maid some detailed questions, Qu Caiyue stood up, picked up the note in front of her, knocked it on the table, then turned around and left with the maid.
After coming out of her own yard, she went to Pei Yusheng's study.
When they were still some distance away from the study, Qu Caiyue saw Liu Lanxin who was also coming over, and she stepped aside and saluted respectfully.
"Where are you going, Madam Qu?" Liu Lanxin stopped and accepted her greeting. She looked at her for a few seconds and asked with her chin slightly raised.
"I have something to report to the prince." Qu Caiyue said with her head down.
"What's the matter?" Liu Lanxin asked unhappily, and her eyes glanced down, becoming a little more gloomy.
She didn't expect that the person who took away some of her housekeeper rights was not Qu Qiuyan, whom she had always cared about, but the most inconspicuous Qu Caiyue.
How dare such a lowly and ignorant concubine seize her right to be the housekeeper
She knew very well how Qu Caiyue entered Prince Jing's mansion. She was just a lowly woman, and she felt unpleasant just by looking at her.
She felt that looking at her any longer would pollute her eyes. Fortunately, she knew that King Jing did not have much favor for Qu Caiyue, otherwise he would never tolerate her.
She is just a woman who entered the mansion without proper reason.
"His Highness instructed me to go to the Prince of England's Palace." Qu Caiyue replied.
Liu Lanxin sneered: "Using Princess Ying to suppress me? Unfortunately, even if Princess Ying is here, what can she do? Besides... Does Princess Ying treat you as sisters?"
Qu Caiyue's face flushed, she was filled with shame, but she didn't dare to talk back. She knew clearly her weight at the moment, and didn't dare to gamble with it. "Your Highness Princess is right!"
"The prince is very busy and can't meet everyone. You'd better go back!" Liu Lanxin felt a little relieved when she saw that she didn't talk back. She was rejected in the same way when she went to Prince Jing's study just now. The food basket in the maid's hand contained the stew she made by herself, but it was not delivered at this time.
In a state of panic, Qu Caiyue bumped into
Come up.
Instead of wanting to see his legal wife, does he want to see this bitch
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Qu Caiyue sensed Liu Lanxin's ill intentions and took a step back, being extremely respectful.
Liu Lanxin was in a bad mood. She snorted coldly and waved her hand as if to shoo away a fly.
Qu Caiyue didn't dare to stay. She held her breath and turned around to leave with her maid. She turned a few corners before stopping. She waved to the maid and asked her to go to the corner to peek to see if Liu Lanxin had left.
"As the legitimate wife, she doesn't receive the prince's kindness, but instead takes her anger out on the concubine here." Qu Caiyue said to herself. To be honest, she also looked down on Liu Lanxin. If she hadn't been tortured in Prince Jing's mansion before and almost lost her life, she would definitely not have given in like this now.
The barbaric woman raised on the border said that she was the eldest daughter of the general's mansion. At first glance, she was from the countryside and didn't even care about etiquette. However, she was still not strong enough to resist the queen. Even Qu Qiuyan had to avoid her, so she was certainly not strong enough.
The maid secretly watched the queen leave before turning back to report, and Qu Caiyue took the maid back.
He was also stopped by the eunuch outside the study.
The eunuch went in to report, and Qu Caiyue was waiting outside. After waiting for a while, the eunuch came out and let her in.
Qu Caiyue tidied her clothes and then followed the eunuch slowly inside.
She lowered her head and went into the study, respectfully saluted to Pei Yusheng above her, and only stood up straight when she heard the word "exempt", but her head was still lowered, with some fear in her respect. Her hands were clasped in front of her awkwardly, and she squeezed and relaxed them nervously, and her nervousness was visibly visible.
"What do you want?" Pei Yusheng raised his eyes to look at the bureau and asked coldly.
"I have just sent someone to deliver a note to the Prince of England's palace." Qu Caiyue said.
Pei Yusheng looked at her intently: "When is it decided?"
"No time has been set. They said that Fourth Sister was sick and it was inconvenient for her to come home. She accidentally caught a cold. Fourth Sister has always had a poor health and has been suffering from many illnesses in the past," Qu Caiyue said softly.
"You can get sick from the cold at this time? Your body is really delicate." Pei Yusheng said in surprise.
"I think that since Fourth Sister is ill, it is only right and reasonable for Third Sister and I to go and see her, so that others won't say that we sisters have no affection for each other." Qu Caiyue whispered, and she hadn't even raised her head to look at Pei Yusheng. She acted more like a subordinate than a concubine.
Seeing that Qu Caiyue's location was very accurate and her words were pleasant to the ears, Pei Yusheng was quite satisfied: "You and Qiuyan should indeed go see a doctor. No matter what the disease is, you are still sisters. You can't write two Qu characters with one stroke."
Although the incident with the old woman caught him off guard, the effect was still good. Not only did Pei Luoan lose Ji Youran, but people also suspected that his behavior was not proper. Although the Crown Princess was finally used to take the blame, some people still doubted him as the crown prince in their hearts.
There was an effect, which was that he was directly implicated in the matter. He originally thought that the British princess would check and verify it, and the matter would be prolonged. Even if something happened later, Pei Luoan would not be able to find it on himself.
Unexpectedly, the Princess of England was such an impatient person. She started to get angry just after I sent someone over. Now Pei Yusheng was also implicated. He was reprimanded by his father before and his salary was cut on the pretext. But these were all minor matters. He didn't live on his salary...
"This is going to visit a patient... How to visit, you should also understand, right?"
