"Is the Princess of England really ill?" Princess Yiyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Qu Qiuyan.
"This... I really don't know. They said they were coming together before, and I told Princess Ying that the princess would come as well. Then Princess Ying got sick." Qu Qiuyan smiled bitterly, looking helpless. "It might be because of me. You also know that Princess Ying and I don't get along."
"My disagreement with you has nothing to do with me. Why don't you come when you hear that I will be coming?" Princess Yiyu said unhappily.
Originally she was reluctant to come. Even though she was afraid of seeing the King of England, it didn't mean she would be afraid of seeing the Queen of England.
Judging from the appearance of the Princess of England, she would not be afraid. She was timid and had a bit of disgusting charm, just like the concubine in the mansion, and people disliked her just by looking at her.
Princess Yiyu is good-looking, and is one of the more pretty types nowadays, which is the look most sought after by noble ladies. With such looks, Princess Yiyu has always prided herself on being superior.
Prince Jing did not like her, and she did not like Prince Jing either, otherwise she would not have insisted on preventing her mother from discussing the marriage with Concubine He.
Now that King Jing is finally married, she can find someone she likes.
"This... might be a misunderstanding." Qu Qiuyan explained.
"Misunderstanding? Why don't you misunderstand others, but only misunderstand me?" Princess Yiyu said angrily.
Qu Qiuyan could only explain again: "This is really my fault... No, I shouldn't have said that before. Now the princess has misunderstood me. Don't say I said the wrong thing later, otherwise Princess Ying will think I am causing trouble again."
“Concubine Qu, I’m not saying anything bad about you, but you are also the eldest sister of Princess Ying. The grudges from the previous life have nothing to do with you. You don’t need to make too many concessions when facing Princess Ying.” Princess Yiyu glanced at her and looked down on her for looking like a young wife.
Qu Caiyue followed behind them and walked in together. She only looked at the two in front of her thoughtfully before raising her eyes, without saying a word.
Princess Yi Yu looked down on her, but she would not make trouble for herself, which was good. No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with her. She was just a follower.
This is the Prince of Ying's Palace. The scenery along the way is much better and more spacious than that of the Prince of Jing's Palace. The maids and old women passing by all bowed respectfully and stepped aside when they saw them, behaving in a proper manner.
They arrived at Qu Moying's courtyard. This courtyard was obviously the main courtyard. It was a bit bigger than the courtyard where Princess Jing lived, and it was incomparable to the one they lived in.
Qu Caiyue once again sighed at Qu Moying's good fortune, and glanced at everything in front of her with jealousy.
Two maids lifted the curtain in front of the main room.
After a few people went in, they followed him into the inner room. Qu Moying was seriously ill and it was inconvenient for him to get up at this time, so he lay in bed.
The first person the two sisters saw when they entered was Xie. They were stunned for a moment. Why was Xie here
There was a flash of annoyance in Qu Qiuyan's eyes. When she was not having a good time in Prince Jing's Mansion, her father only sent someone to inquire about her. Now Qu Moying was obviously pretending to be sick, but her father actually asked Xie to come and take care of her. Why
Qu Caiyue was worried that something unexpected would happen. This Mrs. Xie was not someone she could easily deal with, as could be seen from the previous events. Although she still couldn't see through it, it didn't prevent Qu Caiyue from liking this petty-minded Mrs. Xie. What was she trying to do again
Qu Qiuyan snorted coldly
, given her status, even if she treated Xie badly, Xie couldn't do anything.
"Second aunt!" Qu Caiyue bowed with a smile, which also pointed out Xie's identity.
"Are you the new wife of Minister Qu?" Princess Yiyu was quite interested. After looking Xie up and down, she asked.
He looks okay, but his behavior seems a little reserved. It's obvious that he comes from a humble family and is not the kind of person who can be seen in public.
"This is Princess Yi Yu." Qu Qiuyan didn't say anything, and Qu Caiyue helped introduce her.
"Greetings, Princess." Xie hurriedly saluted.
"I heard that your dowry was all given by the Princess of England. It takes a lot of skill for you to get the Prince of England to give you such a large dowry." Princess Yiyu mocked unceremoniously.
The Princess of England was not quite what she wanted, but after all, she was a member of the royal family, and could not be humiliated by a country woman. Because of the dowry, outsiders had a lot of controversy about the Princess of England. On the one hand, they said she was stupid, on the other hand, they said she was forced by filial piety, and some also said that the royal family had a lot of money...
Among all the rumors, some were not friendly to the royal family. Although not much was said, the meaning was there, which made Princess Yiyu feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that Xie had taken advantage of their royal family, they would naturally not be polite.
Xie didn't expect Princess Yiyu to be so rude and bring up this matter right in front of her. Her face turned red for a moment and she didn't know how to respond.
"The Princess of England is the King of England's principal wife, of noble status. So what if you are the Minister's wife? If you plot against the Princess of England again, not to mention that His Royal Highness the King of England will not tolerate you, even I... will not tolerate you." Princess Yiyu snorted coldly. She had a bad temper and could not stand such things.
She may not like the Princess of England, but she cannot let her be bullied by Mrs. Xie.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the one who suffered the most in this matter was the Princess of England. If you think about the Princess of England's timid appearance, it was clear that she was used to being bullied.
“Princess… I… didn’t…” Xie’s eyes were red. She felt really embarrassed to be scolded by Princess Yiyu in front of so many younger generations.
She only regretted that the person in front of her was Princess Yi Yu, so she didn't dare to get angry.
"Well, look at what's going on. Princess Ying's health isn't good, and you're here crying. Are you cursing her? She's been very kind to your Qu Mansion. I heard she was reprimanded by the Queen. Don't look for her for this kind of thing in the future. She's a married woman, and you can't let the entire Qu Mansion suck her blood, right?"
After Princess Yiyu finished speaking, she looked at Qu Qiuyan who was standing aside and treated her like an outsider, and pointed her finger, "After all, they are all daughters of the Qu family. Next time, choose someone else to suck. You can't just keep staring at someone who is easy to bully and bully them until they die."
After hearing what she said, Qu Moying, who was leaning on the bed behind the screen, curled the corners of his lips slightly. This Princess Yiyu is actually a straightforward person. The rumors are somewhat different. Originally thought that she was an arrogant princess, but unexpectedly, she is actually a sensible person.
The person Qu Qiuyan is looking for is a little different from what I imagined...
Her inner room was very spacious. There were several large screens in front of Qu Moying's bed, dividing the inner room into two. The place where they were talking was just outside the screen. Qu Moying could not see but could hear them talking. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice and she leaned her head back, feeling more comfortable.
There were things she wanted to say, but she didn't.
Being able to say it, Princess Yiyu really did what she wanted...
"Princess, you may go in." Although it was Xie who was speaking, Qu Qiuyan felt ashamed and didn't want to listen to Princess Yiyu any more. If she continued, she might describe the Qu Mansion in a different light. As she was the daughter of the Qu Mansion, she felt uncomfortable.
"Don't be in a hurry. It's rare to meet Madam Qu Er, so I have to ask her clearly. There are a lot of rumors outside." Princess Yiyu shook her hand and didn't plan to leave at this moment. "Madam Qu Er... Is the dowry issue your idea or Minister Qu's? I always feel that you... don't have enough weight!"
Princess Yiyu looked Xie up and down a few more times. She seemed just average no matter how she looked at her. Some of the maids in her own house looked much more elegant than the Second Madam Qu in front of her. She really didn't know how she could be considered the wife of Minister Qu.
An orphan
"Princess... this is a misunderstanding." Xie finally reorganized her words.
Princess Yiyu interrupted her rudely, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's nothing to me. I just think the Qu family is too much. A concubine married in, but she desperately sucked the blood of the original wife's daughter, causing the original wife's daughter to be reprimanded by the queen. This time, the king of England was magnanimous. If the king of England wants to investigate, not only will the princess of England not be able to get away with it, even Minister Qu will probably not be able to get away with it."
Xie's hand twitched the handkerchief in her hand, and she regretted that there was no hole in the ground for her to crawl into, otherwise she would never be able to come out.
"I… "
Princess Yiyu waved her hand to stop her from talking, and walked inside, saying to Qu Qiuyan: "I now believe that Princess Ying is really ill."
Qu Qiuyan was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What does the princess mean?"
“If you suck too much blood, you will get sick, right?” Princess Yiyu answered as she led her people around the screen.
On the wide bed behind the screen, there lay a thin and weak beautiful woman. Even though her face was pale with a hint of blue and her mouth was dry, her appearance was still outstanding. Although her appearance did not look pleasing, one had to admit that she was stunning.
Lying on the large bed, he looked increasingly thin and fragile.
Princess Yiyu had seen Qu Moying before at her wedding. She had come along to watch the scene specially. She felt that she was very vivid and lively, and then she was filled with disdain.
I didn't expect that she wasn't so offensive now. She looked a little more slender and pretty, and the charm in her eyes was less red than before, and was much softer.
When she raised her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled twice, with a hint of coldness in her gentleness. Seeing everyone in the room, she seemed to be trying to sit up. A maid hurried forward to help her, but she was too weak and fell down again. The maid screamed in panic.
It looks a bit messy.
Xie took a few steps forward, pushed aside the flustered maid Yuxiu, and went forward to help Qu Moying, "Princess...Princess...are you okay?"
"Why is your princess so ill?" Qu Caiyue didn't expect that Qu Moying was really seriously ill. After being stunned for a moment, she grabbed a maid beside her and asked with concern.
Qu Qiuyan frowned and looked suspiciously at Qu Moying, who was leaning on the bed and breathing rapidly. Why did she not believe it? She had been staring at Qu Moying just now, and her eyes met with hers for a moment, and then she saw her slightly narrowed eyes raised, like a hint of a smile
Am I seeing that
