And indeed Pei Luoan was particularly compassionate to her today. He hugged her and comforted her softly. Liu Jingyu was shaking with excitement. This was the treatment she had never received since she married into the Eastern Palace.
I didn't expect that now, through my mother's death, I have gained
She raised her head, tears running down her jade-white face, and bit her cherry lips hard: "Don't worry, Your Highness. No matter where I go, I will remember that I am the Crown Princess of the East Palace, and I will never let your reputation down."
"You are a sensible person, so I won't say much about some things. I just wonder why your mother died suddenly? When you go to Liu Mansion, check it out secretly. I will give you two guards, and there are also useful manpower there." Pei Luoan said softly.
He took the handkerchief from Liu Jingyu's hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes while giving her instructions.
"Your Highness, I understand. I will investigate this matter with Your Highness." Liu Jingyu wiped her tears and sat up straight, but her other hand was still holding Pei Luoan's sleeve, clinging to him, "Your Highness, I did something wrong before, and I will never do it again. In the future, I will no longer have a mother, and no one will love me as much as my mother did."
Does Madam Liu hurt her
It hurts!
But there is not much sincerity in this painful love!
My own mother is more concerned about scheming, and she has always been for herself. It was like this before, and it is even more so now. Now she seems to be going crazy.
"You still have Gu." Pei Luoan comforted.
"Your Highness, you are the only one for me from now on." Liu Jingyu said in a sad voice, tears falling again, she was heartbroken.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Pei Luoan lowered his head, trying to see another face from Liu Jingyu's beautiful face. Unfortunately, the two faces had no similarities at all, which ultimately made him lose interest.
Yes, it was still Miss Yuan. Only Miss Yuan’s face made him feel as if he saw Ji Hanyue.
No one else can
Pei Luoan stretched out his hand and pushed away Liu Jingyu who was clinging to him tightly. He stood up and said, "This matter is not a small matter. You pack up and go to Liu's house. I have something to do and I will go to the palace first."
This means not accompanying her to Liu Mansion.
Liu Jingyu felt good about this result. In fact, she was afraid that the prince would have to go to Liu Mansion now. She had to ask her father about the real situation first. It was really inappropriate for the prince to go there at this time.
She wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Your Highness, please go and do your work. The affairs of the Liu Mansion are my family affairs. I must not let my family affairs affect your Highness's important affairs. My mother's sudden death is certainly unacceptable, but this is the only way now. I still have Your Highness here."
Having said this, only the affectionate feelings remain.
Pei Luoan frowned. He really didn't like Liu Jingyu looking at him with such a sticky look, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled slightly and nodded softly: "If you need anything, just ask the steward to go. Even if the Liu Mansion is not good now, it is still your mother's home and my in-laws' home."
With just one sentence, Liu Jingyu's tears fell again.
From then on, she truly felt that the prince also liked her and really wanted to marry her.
The couple then acted separately. Liu Jingyu took some servants and the guards assigned to her by Pei Luoan to the Liu Mansion, while Pei Luoan went to the palace.
After the Empress Dowager was told about Madam Liu's affairs, she was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "If I had known this earlier, I would not have done it in the first place!"
The Queen Mother's decision to marry Liu Jingyu was largely due to Madam Liu. Now that Madam Liu is dead, the relationship between the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the Liu Mansion has become even more distant. Although the two have not interacted much since then, the blood relationship cannot be severed after all.
Even though the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the Liu's Mansion have become estranged, when something involves the Liu's Mansion, everyone will still take the Duke of Qi's Mansion into consideration.
"My mother, Madam Liu, died in strange circumstances." Pei Luoan reminded the Queen.
"She's dead now, so why does it matter whether she did something strange or not? She was very versatile in the palace. Even when she was facing off against Concubine He, she was not at a disadvantage at all." The Queen sighed helplessly. She thought Madam Liu was really good when she saw how Madam Liu faced Concubine He and how she made friends with several important concubines in the palace.
"Madam Liu has a good relationship with the concubines in the palace?" Pei Luoan also knew this for the first time and asked in surprise. He only knew that Madam Liu could please her mother.
"She is a smart person, and she is also very good at dealing with people. She has a good relationship with several concubines in the palace, whether it is the people on my side, or the people on Concubine He's side, and even Concubine Zhu Jing has a good relationship with her." The Queen nodded, "Her status is not low, and she can talk to those concubines."
The Queen was silent for a moment when she said this.
This was indeed the case with Mrs. Liu in the past, but what about Mrs. Liu later
Not only did she fade out of everyone's sight, but everyone also felt like she was useless.
When did it happen? It was after Madam Liu broke her leg that she could no longer enter the palace. After that, all the news came from outside to the palace.
How good she was said before, the rumors afterwards were a bit unbearable
He stole Xiao Yue's husband and attacked his sister-in-law, the wife of the Duke of Qi.
All these rumors are so unbearable that it is hard to believe that they are talking about the Madam Liu who was once very good at dealing with people in the palace.
The fact that she could talk to the concubines on Concubine He's side, the concubines on her mother's side, and even Concubine Zhu Jing, who hated socializing the most, really showed how extraordinary Madam Liu was.
Pei Luoan was silent for a moment, feeling more and more sorry, but remembering that ever since he married Liu Jingyu, Madam Liu's behavior had not benefited him at all, he felt that Madam Liu was possessed by an evil spirit, and her sudden death this time might not be without foreshadowing.
"Well, she's dead, and the current Liu Mansion is not the same as before. Even if she doesn't die, she won't be that helpful to you. Prince, your East Palace now needs concubines and concubines who can help you. Mother has found some good daughters from noble families for you. They are not only outstanding in appearance, but also have good family backgrounds. You can pick them first."
The Queen Mother ordered the palace maid to fetch the prepared portrait of the young lady from the noble family.
"Mother, let's not think about these things for now." Pei Luoan shook his hand, "I don't have the heart to think about these things now, that matter..."
The Queen glared at him and said, "Don't think too much about anything at this time. Just focus on choosing a concubine or a concubine. You've been married to the Crown Princess for a while, but she hasn't managed your East Palace well. Instead, she's made it a mess. The most important thing for you now is to choose another concubine."
The Queen bit the words "current affairs" heavily.
"Will this delay things, mother?" Pei Luoan understood, but still looked a little worried.
"It won't delay things. Since you are wholeheartedly focusing on selecting a concubine, even if something happens over there, it can't be blamed on you. Your Eastern Palace is in chaos right now because of the inner courtyard. Everyone can see that you have an incompetent Crown Princess." said the Queen.
It is not clear whether Liu Jingyu is helpful or not, but at least Liu Jingyu is not of much use.
When she was married into the family, the Queen Mother was already dissatisfied, and now she is even more dissatisfied. However, this dissatisfaction can now become the best excuse.
Pei Luoan understood, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Then do as the queen mother says."
He did that thing in secret. On the surface, he was concentrating on selecting a concubine. After Liu Jingyu returned to the East Palace, he told Liu Jingyu about this matter.
Although he was the one choosing the concubine, he still had to tell her, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, openly, otherwise it would be embarrassing for everyone.
"You pick first, keep the ones you like, and then let the Crown Princess take a look. She has been married to you for so long, but there's still no news from her pregnancy. She can afford to wait, but you can't. The Crown Prince and the Eastern Palace can't remain childless forever." said the Queen. This was also the best reason.
Ordinary families would choose a concubine when there has been no news about the main wife, let alone now that it is the Prince's Eastern Palace.
The Queen Mother wanted to use this incident to suppress Liu Jingyu, and now that the opportunity has come, she will naturally not be polite. The current Crown Princess Liu Jingyu is even worse than Ji Hanyue back then, so how could she like her
She wanted to marry a few more concubines and concubines for the prince, and whoever gave birth to a child first would be made the prince's principal wife in the future.
Liu Jingyu is a crown princess, which is really a great honor for her
After Pei Luoan discussed with the Queen, he left. He still had to go to the Liu Mansion to take a look. After all, the Liu Mansion was Liu Jingyu's maiden home. Madam Liu had died, so he had to go and take a look and ask.
He hurriedly walked out of the palace, but unexpectedly he met Concubine Yuan on the road. Seeing Concubine Yuan accidentally fall to the ground, Pei Luoan could not walk anymore.
This road is not the main road out of the palace. In order to go faster, Pei Luoan deliberately took a small road and a shortcut. There were trees on both sides of the road, so no other people could be seen at this time.
Lady Yuan seemed to be picking flowers and accidentally fell. Now she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Pei Luoan. There was a bit of Ji Hanyue's charm in her appearance, which made her look a little more like Pei Luoan than before.
Pei Luoan can't walk anymore
"Father, mother, she, she really is..." In the study, the father and daughter were talking. After listening to Doctor Liu finish his words, Liu Jingyu could hardly believe his ears.
She had her doubts and some suspicions in this regard, and she told her father about it, but she felt it was not credible. However, the result now was even more bizarre than she had expected.
How could my mother have such a close relationship with Northern Xinjiang
How could my mother not be my grandmother’s biological daughter
How could my mother really be a rebellious daughter? How many people died in the Three Kings Rebellion? Even if they only took some of them, their families would be destroyed. How dare my mother be like this
"It's true. She said it herself. She said the man over there is her uncle. She has known her life experience since she was a child. Xiao Yue is the old Duke's daughter, his biological daughter. She is not from a different family," Doctor Liu whispered, putting his hands on the chair rails, clenched them tightly and let out a long breath.
