"Uncle Wang, who is this lady?" King Jing sat down, glanced at Qu Moying who was sitting next to Pei Yuanjun as if he didn't care, and asked gently with a slight smile.
Through the veil, one could see the stunning appearance of the woman inside. When she walked past Pei Yusheng just now, the gauze at the bottom of the veil floated up, revealing the woman's cherry lips and chin. The rich lip color matched her jade-like skin. Even with just a quick glimpse, Pei Yusheng was stunned.
He never doubted that there was anything shameful about Qu Moying's identity, but seeing that she behaved generously and appropriately, and her movements were extremely elegant, he knew that this woman came from a noble family, and was the kind of person who had been brought up strictly for many years. She was definitely not one of those people outside who had a low status but were brought up with great effort.
"She is the daughter of the general who assists the country. She has returned to the capital to sort out the affairs of her former residence. The general specially asked me to take care of her." Pei Yuanjun said lazily, glancing at the group of women sitting opposite him at the table. His sleepy eyes, which seemed to be bright, turned cold.
First-rank auxiliary general Liu Xiangshan and Ji Hanyue's father, first-rank Jianwei general Ji Yongming, are two major figures in the military. Of course, these two generals are also subordinate to Pei Yuanjun, but even so, they both control some of the military power. If they can be brought under his command, he will also be able to control some of the military power.
The prince married Ji Yongming's eldest daughter, but after entering the palace, this Crown Princess was said to be dying soon, and Ji Yongming also got into trouble. It can be said that the prince's efforts were in vain this time.
Then the daughter of the general who is assisting the country is of vital importance.
Pei Yusheng once again looked at Qu Moying calmly. Of course, he was also concerned about this, so he also knew that Liu Xiangshan's daughter Liu Lanxin had injured her eyes, so she wore a veil? I heard that it was related to Pei Yuanjun. What was going on now? Could it be that he wanted his father to grant them a marriage
According to the information he got, this Miss Liu was a proud and arrogant woman, and different from other young ladies who were kept in seclusion. She had once followed Liu Xiangshan to fight the enemy, and could be said to be a heroine. However, he had never expected that she was so beautiful. Looking at her delicate and weak appearance, she really didn't look like someone who had been to the battlefield.
Maybe the rumor is not credible, because this Miss Liu lived with Liu Xiangshan on the border, so she was called a female general. In fact, she just looked a little cold.
Pei Yuanjun seemed not to notice Pei Yusheng's somewhat excited look, and continued: "General Fuguo asked me to take Miss Liu out for a walk to see if there are any outstanding young men in the aristocratic families. I thought that there would be many people coming today, so I brought Miss Liu to take a look."
So, this means choosing a husband for Miss Liu, not asking the emperor to grant them a marriage
It was really simple and rude. She came directly to the door without even notifying the host. This young lady looked very graceful and elegant. She really was worthy of having grown up in the border army. She looked very generous.
After the surprise, a sense of joy suddenly arose in my heart.
If he marries the daughter of the auxiliary general, he will have the military power in his hands, which will give him the confidence when he confronts the prince next time. Although the prince married Ji Hanyue, Ji Hanyue is going to die, and Ji Yongming is also going to die. The prince is really unlucky!
Besides, it won't be a loss for me. For a woman like this, it won't matter even if she has eye disease.
"Uncle Wang, is there a suitable candidate?" Pei Yusheng leaned over and whispered, his heart warmed. He sat on Pei Yuanjun's left and Qu Moying sat on his right.
She had always had good hearing, so even though Pei Yusheng lowered his voice, she still heard it clearly. She lowered her head slightly, curled the corners of her lips silently, and her eyes were cold.
On your own
I am really stupid. The prince is so attentive to me only because his father holds the military power. Just like King Jing now, when he heard that his father holds the military power, King Jing's attitude immediately became friendly, and the eyes he looked at me became gentle, even with a bit of affection!
Military power, military power again!
At this moment, even breathing seemed to carry a burning pain. The Miss Liu that she was currently playing was really somewhat similar to her situation in her previous life.
She squeezed her hands hard, then slowly raised her eyes to look at the Prince of Yun, who was smiling very friendly. What did he want to do? Of course, she didn't believe that he really wanted to choose a husband for Miss Liu. Did he want to disrupt the situation in the capital? So he had someone pretending to be Miss Liu
It seems that the rumors are credible. I heard that there is a lot of affection between the Prince of Yun and Miss Liu, so he pretended to be Miss Liu.
It is conceivable that pretending to be Miss Liu is actually not safe.
But with me blocking the way in front, Miss Liu must be really safe!
She narrowed her watery eyes slightly under the veil and took a deep breath. She knew clearly that at this moment, the relationship between her and Pei Yuanjun was the most "safe" for her!
Since Pei Yuanjun needs me, he will definitely not let anything happen to me at this time. Therefore, compared to the insecurity that Miss Liu feels, it is relatively safer for me. And I also need this "safety" of being protected!
With this "safety" that needs to be protected, her daily actions in the mansion are also safe, but she needs to act faster...
"I haven't made a choice yet. Let's take a look first. I'm not in a hurry to go back this time. I've already reported to the emperor that I plan to stay in the capital for a while." Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
"General Liu is a first-rank general who serves the country. He only has one daughter. Uncle Wang must find a young talent who is worthy of her. I think Miss Liu is very graceful and elegant, very much like General Liu. She will definitely be a dignified and decent wife in the future."
Pei Yusheng praised lightly first, and hinted that they had to be of equal status.
As the daughter of a first-rank general, she is of equal status, so of course Prince Jing is worthy of her.
Ji Hanyue, the daughter of a first-rank general, married the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, so it was nothing for Liu Lanxin to become Princess Jing.
"Let's take a look again. If King Jing sees something good, he can remind me." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, looking towards the opposite platform.
There were a few young ladies opposite him who kept looking at him, stealing glances at him from time to time. When he looked over, they blushed and held their handkerchiefs, revealing only half of their faces, looking shy and timid.
Pei Yuanjun's face turned cold, and his originally sleepy eyes suddenly raised up. His pupils were extremely dark, and at this time they were even darker without a trace of light. Combined with his handsome yet cold raised eye corners, in just a moment, he changed from a handsome and gentle young man from a noble family to a bloodthirsty and cold Prince of Yun.
The women who glanced at him were all frightened and dared not look directly at his handsome face.
This time, the lady was certain that this was indeed Prince Pei Yuanjun of Yun.
When my nanny came over, Qu Yuanzhen sat behind Pei Yuanjun nervously. He had never been so close to the Prince of Yun before.
"Second Master, the Madam wants to see you and ask you something." Wu Ma said in a low voice.
"Go tell mother that the Prince of Yun is coming. Ask Yu to prepare an extra table, a separate table." Qu Zhizhen calmed down and knew that his mother was going to
I didn't come to him to really ask him to come over, I came to ask for information, so I answered in a low voice.
"Yes, I understand!" Wu Ma's face turned pale, but she understood and was about to leave.
"Lord Qu, you don't have to be polite. I'll just sit for a while and then leave. The emperor will discuss something with me later!" Pei Yuanjun said without turning his head.
Qu Moying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had passed Pei Yuanjun's test.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Qu Zhizhen nodded repeatedly and winked at my nanny. My nanny took a few steps back, turned around and left hurriedly to report to the lady.
Hearing that it was nothing serious and that the Prince of Yun would be leaving soon, the lady breathed a sigh of relief and pressed her forehead with a handkerchief. After a while, she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. Now that she relaxed, she felt weak and did not look very good.
"Would you like to take a rest, Madam?" My nanny asked hurriedly when she saw Madam's face.
"No need. I'm old and my mental strength is insufficient!" The lady smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I don't know how Ying girl is doing. Have you asked someone to check on her?"
"I sent someone to check it out, and they said that the fourth young lady almost fainted earlier. She is resting now, and it's nothing serious!" reported Wu Ma.
"This child is born weak..." The lady sighed and said nothing more. Even if she disliked the Yu family, it was not convenient for her to say anything at this time. There were many female relatives at the moment, and if the rumor got out, it would be bad.
The lady was taking care of the twins born to Yu, but she didn't expect that people outside had already said some very unpleasant things about Yu. Yu had just heard some of it and was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand, but she had to continue entertaining the guests and pretending that she had heard nothing.
She remembered all those who gossiped about her today. When her daughter became Princess Jing and then the Queen, she would settle all the old scores with them one by one. But she couldn't say anything now.
"Why hasn't King Jing come over yet?" Seeing that King Jing opposite her was still sitting steadily, Yu became anxious. She had discussed this with Qu Qiuyan before, could it be that her daughter didn't listen to her
First it was Xu Lipeng's matter, and then it was King Jing's. One thing led to another, and she had to make her daughter look extremely innocent, and that she was implicated entirely because of Xu Lipeng's matter.
Although Yu also saw Prince Pei Yuanjun of Yun, her attention was on Prince Jing and she didn't notice Pei Yuanjun at all. This was a good idea she and Qu Qiuyan came up with, but what should she do if Prince Jing refused to leave
Taking a quick glance at a pair of sisters sitting not far from her, Yu became more and more anxious. If King Jing didn't go over soon, he might not make it in time soon.
"Go ask the Third Miss what's going on." Yu couldn't sit still anymore and whispered to Aunt Hai beside her.
Aunt Hai understood what he meant and was about to go downstairs when she saw an old woman hurrying over not far away. When she saw that it was this old woman, Aunt Hai stopped, stood in the shadow of the bushes, and waved to the old woman who was coming over.
The old woman looked around and saw no one noticed her, so she came over quickly, "Aunt Hai."
"Are you here to look for someone?" Aunt Hai asked in a low voice.
"Yes, they are extremely anxious over there, so they asked me to come and look for him." The old woman also lowered her voice.
"Wait a moment." Aunt Hai hesitated.
"But they can't wait any longer. Let us hurry up." The old woman was a little anxious.
"Just a little while, it will be ready soon!" Aunt Hai gritted her teeth and ordered. She was also anxious, but the Third Miss was not ready yet, and King Jing did not move, so this matter would be difficult to handle...
