"No need, I just came to take a look!" The emperor shook his head, but his feet did not move. He still looked at the two people standing hand in hand. Had he seen such a scene before
It was just too far away, too far away, so far that he could hardly remember it, nor did he dare to remember it.
There are flowers, trees, people, and the years are quiet and peaceful. It seems that nothing is asked for. Everything seems to be a copy of the script of the years, but in fact, things have changed and the beauty is gone.
If... If I had been more resolute at that time, wouldn't this be the case, and would I not have to live with regrets for the rest of my life
My heart felt like it was pulled hard, and my eyes felt sore!
Li Quan didn't dare to speak. He just lowered his head and occasionally secretly glanced at the emperor's expression. He was an old man beside the emperor and understood the emperor's mind best. He also knew what the emperor was thinking at this time. He sighed softly in his heart. Even the emperor, who was above everyone else, felt regretful.
And it’s a regret that cannot be made up for!
"Let's go!" Under the flower tree, Pei Yuanjun loosened his hand, turned around and walked back.
Qu Moying moved his stiff fingers, and then he felt like his fingers belonged to him again. He took a deep breath, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, turned around and followed Pei Yuanjun away.
She didn't look around when she left. This was the imperial palace, and there were many people paying attention. What's more, it was Pei Yuanjun who brought her here. She didn't think that Pei Yuanjun really brought her just to appreciate the flowers.
Looking at Pei Yuanjun, I feel that he is incompatible with flower appreciating. He is not the kind of person who appreciates flowers, so how can he come to appreciate flowers
Since Pei Yuanjun didn't say anything, Qu Moying wouldn't ask any more questions.
After the two of them walked a few steps, Pei Yuanjun turned around and waved to Qu Moying, sending him away lazily: "You go back first!"
Qu Moying bowed sideways, then turned around and left with Yu Dong.
Watching Qu Moying's back as she left, Pei Yuanjun gradually calmed down his expression. His slightly drooping eyes were deep and unfathomable, and a hint of cold hostility flashed through the earring on one side...
"What, taken away by the Prince of Yun's people?" Concubine He sat high up in the hall, looking at Madam He crying on the ground, her brows knitted tightly. This was very unexpected. Shouldn't this kind of thing be the responsibility of Jingzhao Yin? Her son had mentioned this before when he entered the palace.
I originally wanted to wait for some time to pass before slowly discussing it. I had to find a way to resolve this matter, but I didn't expect that I would end up in the West Prison, which is not a good place.
"My Lady, please save Yu'er. He... he is just a child. Those maids seduced him. Now that something has happened, we can't blame Yu'er for everything." Madam He wiped her tears and cried, full of resentment. "It's obvious that those people wanted to blackmail us, which is why it has become like this."
Concubine He snorted in displeasure. She still disliked her sister-in-law from her natal family. Wouldn't it arouse even greater anger from others if she said such things at this time
She originally thought that this nephew was a good person, but now it seems that she was wrong.
"Sister-in-law, let Prince Jing go and take a look at this matter." Concubine He could not agree to all of it. She could only ask her son to go and check it out first. As one of the concubines in the harem, she could not go directly to Prince Yun. Moreover, she also knew herself well, so even if she did, it would probably be of no use.
The Prince of Yun County was deeply trusted by the emperor, who even praised his ability several times, saying that he was a good man and that he would be in charge of the government in the future.
I will also feel relieved.
The problem is that the more at ease the emperor is, the more worried the people in the harem become.
"My Lady, the Master has already gone to see His Royal Highness Prince Jing, but I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Jing can't handle Prince Yun. Prince Yun is your uncle and has the advantage in seniority."
Mrs. He continued to cry.
Concubine He was very unhappy with what she said, as if her son was of no use at all. It was obvious that the Prince of Yun was a little too arrogant.
But she couldn't say this in front of Mrs. He. This sister-in-law was useless. It was only because her eldest brother remarried that he allowed this woman to marry into the family.
Over the years, if she hadn't given birth to an outstanding son, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to hold the position of the principal wife.
"Since Prince Jing already knows, you can go back and wait for news." Concubine He was unwilling to talk to someone who might drag her down, so she waved her hand impatiently.
I will have to call my son in later so that he can explain it more correctly.
After hearing what Noble Concubine He said, Madam He dared not cry anymore. She quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Suddenly she remembered Qu Moying's matter and said hurriedly, "Noble Concubine, when I entered the palace just now, I saw the fourth Miss Qu who had discussed marriage with Yu'er before. She didn't even bow to me when she saw me. It was very rude."
"Which family is this lady?" Concubine He asked without realizing who it was.
"The fourth young lady of Minister Qu's mansion." Madam He said indignantly, "She was discussing marriage with Yu'er before, and the matter was almost settled, except that it had not been announced. Now that Yu'er has lost the lawsuit, she has to follow him. No matter what happens to Yu'er in the future, she is Yu'er's wife."
Later on, Mrs. He directly gave Qu Moying the title of Mr. He San's fiancée.
Concubine He's expression turned grim: "Did the Qu family discuss this with you, or did you take the initiative to come and discuss this?"
"It was proposed by Madam Fengyang. I thought about Yu'er's personality and thought she should find someone who was gentler, so I agreed. I asked Madam Fengyang to propose marriage. After that, they went to see each other and didn't say anything bad. Originally, it was decided, but His Royal Highness Prince Jing said it was inappropriate and wanted to discuss the eldest lady of Qu Mansion on Yu'er's behalf."
Mrs. He told the story slowly and leisurely.
This means that they have long known that there is something wrong with He Dayu, so they dare not marry a strong and helpful wife. Concubine He frowned more and more, and her face looked very ugly. Her son is at a critical moment, but her own family is dragging him down, and it seems that this will cause an uproar in the city.
"Since sister-in-law knows that Yu'er is not doing right, why don't you try to stop her?" Concubine He asked coldly.
Madam He choked for a moment, knowing that her words had let the cat out of the bag, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has really wronged me. How could I not have advised him? But it was useless. This kid promised me again and again that this kind of thing would not happen again, but he still... I can't keep an eye on what's going on in his room. It's also the fault of the wife he married. She never told me about this kind of thing!"
Mrs. He felt very aggrieved, so she put the blame on her dead daughter-in-law.
Concubine He was feeling upset. Not only was her sister-in-law unable to help, she was also holding her son back. It would be strange if she could be happy. But no matter what, the He Mansion was her mother's home and she couldn't just ignore it.
"Since the marriage between the He and Qu families has not been agreed upon, let it go. There is no need to mention it again. Never mention this matter again in the future." Concubine He ordered.
"Why... why? It's almost settled, why didn't you mention it? If something happens to Yu'er, she will have to protect her." Madam He
Unconvinced.
"Don't talk about this again." Concubine He's face darkened.
Although Madam He was still indignant, she had to agree, "Yes, everything is up to the Imperial Concubine's orders."
Even if we can't say it publicly, we can always say it in private!
We have discussed the marriage, and although it hasn't happened yet, we can't stop talking about it.
Seeing the indignation on Madam He's face, Concubine He sneered and said, "Sister-in-law, if you really don't want Yu'er to get well and want her to die in the West Prison, then just say it loud and clear."
That piece of land belongs to Pei Yuanjun.
Concubine He naturally knew some of the previous rumors, and even the Empress Dowager deliberately intervened.
"West... Is the West Prison under the jurisdiction of Minister Qu?" Madam He asked in surprise.
Concubine He no longer wanted to say anything to her sister-in-law. She stretched out her hand and pressed her brows, then waved her hand. The palace maid standing aside smiled and stepped forward to Madam He and said, "Our Majesty knows about Madam's affairs. Madam is tired. Please go back and wait for news!"
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Mrs. He was very excited. Now that the imperial concubine had agreed, she immediately felt reassured.
Following the palace servants, she left Concubine He's palace, got back on the palace sedan, and headed all the way to the palace gate. When she arrived at the palace gate, Madam He, who was about to leave, smiled and said to the two eunuchs at the inner palace gate, "Excuse me, has Miss Qu left?"
The maids who followed her closely stepped forward and handed over a purse each.
The two eunuchs took the purse and squeezed it, smiling like flowers, and put the purse into their sleeves. One of them stretched out his hand and pointed outside, "Miss Qu Si just left, she is in front."
Indeed, looking from afar, there were a few people walking out on the palace road inside the high palace walls, but it was difficult to see who they were from a distance.
"Thank you, both eunuchs." Mrs. He was overjoyed and said hurriedly.
He hurried forward, and the maid hurried to follow.
When the master and servant arrived at the outer palace gate, Qu Moying held Yu Dong's hand and was about to get on the carriage.
"Miss Fourth Qu!" When she heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw that it was Mrs. He who was coming over. It was obvious that she was chasing her. She was in a hurry and was calling her when she was still some distance away from her. She looked very rude.
"Let's go!" Qu Moying helped Yu Dong get on the carriage, followed by Nanny Yan. Yu Dong was the last one to get on the carriage. After they were all on, the coachman skillfully turned the horse around, whipped the horsewhip, and drove away.
Calling me at this time must be bad news! Especially in front of the palace gate, is this a place where trouble can occur
Mrs. He, who had just caught up, had dust all over her face.
"He is indeed a blind man. Who would marry such a blind man?" Mrs. He was very angry and cursed, but she could do nothing but get on her own carriage and go back to her own house.
It would be fine if nothing happened to her son this time, but if something really happened to her son, she would never let this bitch go.
Madam He got on the carriage in a daze. When the carriage passed a wide gate, she looked out the window and suddenly stopped the carriage. She looked at the mansion outside and said, "Let's go to Liu Mansion!"
Right opposite where her carriage stopped was the residence of Minister Liu.
A large part of the reason why Mrs. He was able to marry Mr. He was related to Mrs. Liu. The two of them were distant relatives.
