This was the first time that Princess Qiya had said such words of praise for someone's appearance, and Prince Qilie couldn't help but look at his sister a few more times.
From childhood to adulthood, I have never heard Qiya praise other women's appearance.
"How about Princess Bijing?" asked Prince Qilie.
"There is no comparison at all. A maidservant beside Princess Ying is comparable to Princess Jing." Princess Qiya said unhappily. She always felt that Princess Jing wanted to kill her, and now she was unceremoniously comparing a maidservant with Liu Lanxin, putting her in an unequal position to Princess Ying.
"Is the difference so huge?" Prince Qilie didn't quite believe it.
“If you have the chance to see it in the future, you will understand what the beautiful women described in the books are like. After all, other women lack some temperament and refinement.” Princess Qia thought for a while and said.
The most amazing thing is her temperament. She has exquisite and beautiful facial features, and a cool yet charming temperament. Such a beauty is stunning no matter where she is.
Princess Qia thought that such a contradictory temperament was all made up by literati in books, but she didn't expect to meet such a person.
"You, too, have learned to exaggerate." Prince Qilie half believed and half doubted what he said, but he didn't take it too seriously. He waved his hand and let her do as she pleased.
He had to arrange the worship. Since the British princess had agreed, it would not be a big problem. It was not a big deal in the first place, but the King of England had to interfere and cause trouble.
As for how the Princess of England and the King of England will quarrel next, that is not his concern. Tong Yuzhen is by the King of England's side, that is a fact, and the King of England cannot deny it even if he wants to.
A person of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. Unfortunately, the King of England is not upright.
"Second brother, how is that cousin?" After taking two steps, Princess Qia suddenly stopped.
"What could be the problem? Nothing happened." Prince Qi Lie said impatiently. He didn't want to care about Madam Liu recently. He originally thought that Madam Liu could help, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this. He heard that there were constant problems in the Liu Mansion, and this cousin's reputation was not as good as she said.
Now it is of no use at all, and even seems to be dragging him down with it.
He has no intention of dealing with Madam Liu's affairs now, so he will deal with them after his affairs are settled. He had also previously sent word that matters concerning Madam Liu could be put on hold for a while. The staff on her side were originally sent by his father, and it would be better for them to be in his own hands now.
A lot of people were sent over at that time, but not many are left to find them now.
Some people were sent to unknown places by Madam Liu, and some were already dead.
Qu Minghui woke up the next day. He drank a lot this time and came back drunk. He vomited later. Luo had someone take care of him. She came early the next morning to check on her son. Seeing his mother's concerned face, Qu Minghui could no longer stay there. He just said he was going to see his grandmother and took people to Qingyun Temple.
The old lady was very happy to know that he was coming, but she didn't know much about what happened back then. She only mentioned it briefly and then vaguely expressed her own guess.
There are some things that the lady has always seen, from Xiao Yue at the beginning to the Princess of England today.
She is old, but not confused. The attitude of the Duke of Qi is also a little strange.
Of course, she couldn't say these words directly to her grandson, she just hinted that he should pay more attention.
Qu Minghui didn't expect that there were so many possibilities here and was shocked. After returning, he went to Xifu to find Qu Mingcheng and told him about this matter. Coincidentally, Qu Mingcheng also found out some information.
The two men found a place and told each other what they had wanted to know. Then Qu Minghui smashed a teacup on the spot.
Qu Mingcheng had never seen his elder brother get so angry before, and was shocked: "Brother..."
"Still in the East Palace?" Qu Minghui's teeth were clattering.
"Of course it's in the East Palace. Where else can it go if it's not here?" Qu Mingcheng didn't understand why Qu Minghui was so generous. In fact, he would have thought it was okay even without asking, but in the end he still went there to get a real answer.
Qu Minghui's eyes were gloomy. He stood up suddenly, turned around and left without paying attention to Qu Mingcheng. He was filled with hatred. His sister was no longer around, and now when he asked her, she was still alive and well in the East Palace. Was she planning to "die" at an appropriate time
This is really too much!
Qu Minghui was like a trapped beast. He didn't know where to go and he didn't dare to face his mother's concerned face. He didn't want his mother to mention his sister in front of him, as he was afraid that he would lose control and tell this matter out of anger.
My father is not good either. He is a cautious person and a man of virtue. It is a matter of reason whether to tell him or not.
But if I don't look for them, who else can I look for
After getting on his own carriage, Qu Minghui felt that he had nowhere to go, and his heart was filled with chill.
The coachman waited outside for a long time, but no orders came out, so he couldn't help but call out to him.
"Go to Zhou Mansion." Qu Minghui said in a hoarse voice.
He didn't know where to go or who to go to. Suddenly, the only person he thought of was Zhou Jinruo, and he really wanted to confide in her.
But in the end, the carriage did not go in. Qu Minghui stopped the carriage at an intersection outside Zhou's mansion.
Sitting quietly in the carriage, he didn't know what to do next. He had promised the British princess that this matter involved a lot of things, and he couldn't say anything, but how could he remain calm
He really couldn't do it, and now he didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Is Zhou Jinruo really that good
The initial meeting was very beautiful, but was it really just beautiful? Was it really just an accident
"Sir, it looks like Miss Zhou Er's carriage?" the coachman suddenly asked.
Qu Minghui subconsciously lifted the curtain and saw the familiar carriage, which was indeed Zhou Jinruo's.
Zhou Jinruo's carriage passed in front of his carriage not far away. The person on the other side should have been on his way early and did not notice the carriage parked on the side of the road.
But he could hear clearly Zhou Jinruo's laughter coming from the carriage. It was very joyful, and he could tell from the sound that she was in a good mood.
As if by some mysterious force, Qu Minghui said, "Follow them and see if they can find out!"
It was already afternoon. Zhou Jinruo would never leave the house at this time in the past. She had said before that if she wanted to visit guests, it would be best to go in the morning.
Zhou Jinruo finally met Liu Jingyu.
As soon as she entered the door, she bowed respectfully to Liu Jingyu. When she stood up, she looked at Liu Jingyu in front of her and was stunned for a moment.
The Crown Princess in front of her was completely different from the Crown Princess she had imagined.
It has been such a short time since we last met, but the Crown Princess now seems to have aged a few years, with a gloomy look all over her. Is she no longer the lively and energetic Lady Jingyu
It’s not that anything specific has changed, but I just have this feeling.
Fortunately, this feeling faded after Liu Jingyu spoke. Looking at the Crown Princess who was still dignified and proper, was she wrong before
"Ji Youran is no longer here, so the matter of the ointment is actually nothing." Liu Jingyu said.
"Your Majesty, when this happened, His Royal Highness was also here, and he got angry at the time. Now that this matter may really be about the ointment, His Royal Highness must be informed of Princess Ying's intentions."
Zhou Jinruo said gently.
Liu Jingyu snorted coldly and waved his hand. Everyone else in the room retreated, leaving only a trusted maid.
"I know about this matter. I will explain it to the prince. Since it has been so long, and the Princess of England has not suffered any harm, this matter is over." Liu Jingyu said disapprovingly. She didn't care about this matter. "Tell me about some things that are happening outside that are related to the royal family and the northern border!"
These are what she cares about. She has been under house arrest and unable to go out. It would be the best if Zhou Jinruo came.
Whether the message was passed on or not, it was just a formality. With Ji Youran's death, this matter has long become a thing of the past.
"Your Majesty, there is something I want to tell you, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not?" Zhou Jinruo bit her lip and said.
"You and I have always had a good relationship. After so many years, don't you know my temper? Just say whatever you want to say." Liu Jingyu smiled gently.
Seeing that she looked at ease, Zhou Jinruo calmed down a little. He looked around and saw that there was only one maid serving her, and Zhou Jinruo himself also brought one standing behind him.
"No problem!" Liu Jingyu also saw her movements and understood what she cared about.
"My Lady Crown Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time. A lot has happened during this period. There are assassinations outside. I heard that the Northern Frontier Mission is in chaos. But the Princess of England has been doing well recently. I am worried that the Princess of England will bring up old grievances with me, so I want to talk to you about this. However, the East Palace is under tight access control. I have no choice but to go to the Liu Mansion."
"Is there something wrong with my mother in the Liu Mansion?" Liu Jingyu frowned.
What she was most worried about was Madam Guo Liu, and she felt vaguely uneasy about something.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Madam Liu just asked me to deliver a letter for her. If I don't deliver it, she will make public the fact that I and the Crown Princess used the ointment together." Zhou Jinruo's eyes turned red, and she felt aggrieved.
It was the Crown Princess who asked for that thing in the first place. She was just a helper. Madam Liu didn't help to keep it secret but instead wanted to spread it out!
"What letter did your mother ask you to deliver?" Liu Jingyu heard some surprise in her words and asked after a moment of silence.
Zhou Jinruo looked at the maid behind Liu Jingyu again, and seeing that Liu Jingyu didn't react, she knew that this was Liu Jingyu's confidant, so she lowered her voice and said, "Crown Princess, that letter was sent to the Northern Frontier Mission."
"What?" Liu Jingyu's hand trembled, and he almost stood up by pressing the corner of the table.
"It's true. I was also terrified at the time, but I couldn't not send her off. Madam Liu actually used the matter between you and me to threaten me!"
Zhou Jinruo said in panic.
She could plot against the Princess of England, since she was not favored anyway. Even if she was the real Princess of England, she could not be compared with the Crown Princess.
But she didn't dare to get involved with Northern Frontier. It was said that the Jingguo Mansion was destroyed because of this kind of thing.
