"I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry." Qu Caiyue squatted down very respectfully and bowed again. She didn't say much but her etiquette was extremely considerate.
"Remember, you must maintain a good relationship with Princess Ying. No matter what she says, you should not provoke her." Pei Yusheng warned.
"Then third sister, do you want to go with me?" Qu Caiyue said after hesitating for a moment.
Qu Qiuyan is the concubine of the side, and she is superior to him. Whenever the two of them travel outside, Qu Qiuyan will always be the primary one.
"Qiuyan, don't go. You're sick too!" Pei Yusheng said disapprovingly.
"Your Highness, Third Sister should go. Otherwise, my status is too low and I'm afraid Fourth Sister would care about these titles." Qu Caiyue said tactfully. She didn't really ask Qu Qiuyan not to go. Her status was not high enough. Even Qu Qiuyan's status was lower than Qu Moying's.
If it weren't for the status of a sister, the two of them together wouldn't be enough to match Qu Moying.
Thinking of this, Qu Caiyue felt jealous...
She never thought that Qu Moying, who had nothing when she returned to the mansion and looked like the most useless person, would now be the most promising among them.
If she had known this earlier, she would have definitely established a good relationship with Qu Moying and would not have been so passive.
It was also her fault that she had misjudged Qu Qiuyan in the first place. She thought she could live a better life with Qu Qiuyan, but she didn't expect that Qu Qiuyan could not take care of herself...
"Even if the concubine goes there, she may not be able to help much," Pei Yusheng said.
"I just want to go with my third sister, borrow her name, and also convey the prince's good intentions. Fourth sister has always been smart, she should understand the prince's intentions, and will not argue with third sister. When they were in Qu Mansion before, there was nothing wrong between the two of them."
Qu Caiyue said.
She wanted to go with Qu Qiuyan. If anything happened, Qu Qiuyan would be there to take responsibility. During her time in Prince Jing's Mansion, she became more aware of her position and would never do anything that was irrelevant to her status.
Even if Qu Qiuyan was just a human-shaped card, she would carry her with her.
Qu Moying is not easy to deal with...
King Jing only thought that Qu Moying was the Princess of England, and this Princess of England was all based on King Ying's words. That was because he didn't know the pros and cons of Qu Moying. Qu Caiyue was unwilling to explain more about these pros and cons to King Jing. She had no evidence for this, but she just thought so.
There are rumors that Qu Moying is lucky and has a good fate. She was able to become the Princess of England by sheer luck. Anyone in her position could have done the same.
Qu Qiuyan just wanted those people to open their eyes and see clearly. If Qu Moying was so easy to deal with, Yu, Qu Qiuyan and herself would not have fallen to this point.
Compared to others, Qu Caiyue felt that her luck was pretty good. At least she didn't offend Qu Moying to death.
Look at Qu Xuexin and then look at herself. The former eldest daughter of the Qu family may now be living a worse life than a maid in the Eastern Palace. For this reason, Qu Caiyue dare not offend Qu Moying to death.
Try to make friends as much as possible...
"Then let's go together. I will tell the concubine to speak less and let you take charge of the matter." Pei Yusheng felt that this was indeed the case and nodded immediately.
He had to talk to Qu Qiuyan to prevent her from ruining things. Last time, Qu Qiuyan did what she said and the matter was settled satisfactorily. Pei Yusheng felt that since the two of them could sit down calmly, the past was over.
It’s in the past. The matter of the two people’s biological mother is the business of the elders.
They are all blood sisters, and Qu Zhizhen is the one in charge now. No matter whether it is Princess Ying or Qu Qiuyan, they will not be willing to offend their father and lose support!
That's not a big deal...
"You should discuss the next steps with the concubine. As for the gifts, they should be generous. After making a list of gifts, go find the princess and ask her to prepare them for you." Pei Yusheng ordered. This matter concerned the Prince of Ying's Palace, so he had to pay attention to everything. If he made his uncle unhappy, it would not be easy for him either.
Thinking about the life Pei Luoan had been living during this period, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself as he thought that the prince was a coward.
At least there are two daughters of the Qu family in my house...
Qu Caiyue listened to Pei Yusheng respectfully, and then left, cleanly and neatly, without any intention of staying to consolidate his favor. This satisfied Pei Yusheng, who felt that Qu Caiyue was indeed a person who could do things. It was good for her to be the master of this matter. After all, Qu Qiuyan was a little willful...
After Qu Caiyue came out of the study, she took people to Qu Qiuyan's residence.
Hearing that Qu Caiyue was coming, Qu Qiuyan leaned on the chaise longue indifferently, without making any comment.
After she finished speaking, Qu Qiuyan said coldly: "I won't go."
"Third sister, if you don't go, what's the use of me going? A wife is really nothing." Qu Caiyue said with a wry smile.
"Sick again? She gets sick when she wants to. Why should I visit her even when she is sick like this?" Qu Qiuyan said unhappily. She really didn't believe that Qu Moying was sick. She said she caught a cold, but it was not certain that she would be cool in such a hot day.
Qu Caiyue knew that Qu Qiuyan was getting angry. She rolled her eyes and slapped her hands on the table. "Third sister, I actually thought so too. I didn't believe it either, but the prince wanted us to go and have a look, as a way to give face to the Ying Palace. But what right does Qu Moying have? We are going this time, and we must have an explanation."
"What do you mean?" Qu Qiuyan finally became interested in what she said.
"Of course we have to find out if it's true. If it's false..." Qu Caiyue sneered, "Then we won't be polite and will report it directly to the King of England. We don't believe that the King of England would not react to her feigning illness and would condone her doing such a thing and mistreat the royal family members."
The so-called royal family refers to Qu Qiuyan.
Qu Qiuyan's originally cold expression showed some movement. She really didn't want to see Qu Moying's face, and even more didn't want to see Qu Moying bowing. However, she was of lower generation and status, so she had to bow her head when she saw Qu Moying.
After a pause, "Since we are going to visit a patient, just the two of us is still too few."
"What does third sister mean?" Qu Caiyue asked, leaning closer.
"Of course it would be better if there were more people. She is seriously ill... We need more people to visit her." Qu Qiuyan sneered. She really didn't believe that Qu Moying fell ill by such a coincidence.
As soon as she received the notice from Prince Jing's Mansion, she fell ill, and she caught a cold at this time. It came at a really good time, so it must be fake.
She would go to the Prince of England's palace to expose Qu Moying's "illness". This crime of deceiving and mistreating the royal family was a good one. Qu Qiuyan also knew that she was not important enough, so she would find someone with some weight...
She has been the concubine of King Jing for a long time, and there are also people in the royal family who are on good terms with her.
Several people...
Qu Caiyue didn't believe that Qu Moying was really ill, but she also didn't believe that Qu Qiuyan could bring big trouble to Qu Moying. Since Qu Qiuyan was unwilling to give up and wanted to cause trouble for Qu Moying, she was happy to do so. Anyway, she wouldn't be the one in trouble, and even if something really happened, it couldn't be blamed on her...
This time, she chose to stand aside with a smile and watch Qu Qiuyan take action...
Qu Moying was sick and looked listless when she woke up in the morning, but no one noticed it at the time. It was only later when the second wife of the Qu family came to her house that they discovered that she was sick.
After inviting the imperial physician to examine the patient, he agreed that it was due to wind-cold entering the body.
After that, he prescribed some medicine and asked the maid to boil it. Mrs. Xie, the second wife of Qu, stayed in the yard and was not in a hurry to go back.
During this time, the King of England sent someone to ask whether the medicine had been taken. After that, no one showed up again. He didn't even ask the doctor in the palace, who was said to be very skilled in medicine, to come and take a look.
The people busying around in the yard were all maids and old women.
A maid came in hurriedly. Xie's eyes lit up when she saw her through the window. She waited inside the door for news from the King of England.
After the maid said a few words to Yuchun at the door, she stepped aside.
Yuchun came in with the freshly boiled medicine and put the medicine bowl on the table to cool down before speaking to Qu Moying, who was leaning on the bed and looked listless: "Master, Concubine Qu, Madam Qu, and Hanyu Junyu from Prince Jing's Mansion have come to see you."
Princess Yiyu is the daughter of Princess Mingzhu. Princess Mingzhu used to be very close to Concubine He. Qu Moying heard that the two had the idea of becoming relatives at the beginning, but then it was forgotten for some reason. However, the current Princess Yiyu is not young anymore.
This princess seems to have a bad temper. In her previous life, I heard that she was just being humane and didn't care which family you were from. She just did things based on her own feelings. This should be the most important reason why the marriage between the two families failed!
The position of Princess Jing cannot be secured simply by being willful; this position requires calmness.
Qu Moying didn't expect that Princess Yi Yu would get together with Qu Qiuyan and the others. She was originally wondering who would come, but she didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.
She didn't care that Princess Yi Yu had a bad temper. The worse the temper, the better!
Qu Moying coughed softly and said weakly, "Yuchun, go out and welcome the guests for me."
She couldn't get up in her current state.
Yuchun obeyed the order and went out to greet the guests.
"Your Majesty, why are they here?" Xie was stunned. She thought that King Ying would come right away, but she didn't expect that Qu Qiuyan and Qu Caiyue would come first.
"I don't know, it might be true... Come visit the patient!" Qu Moying looked listless, her beautiful eyes half closed.
"Your Majesty, will they do anything bad?" Xie asked worriedly. Although these two sisters were also daughters of the Qu family, Xie did not think much of them.
They obviously have extraordinary backgrounds, so how did they end up in such a state? Qu Qiuyan is still okay, but what about Madam Qu Caiyue? This second young lady in the eyes of the servants of the Qu family is really stupid and despicable.
"It's okay, just keep an eye on it for me... Is there anything wrong with the medicine you used before? I used it... but why do I feel so uncomfortable?" Qu Moying said weakly.
"Don't worry, your majesty. Nothing will happen. It's just going to be serious." Xie patted her chest and assured.
