"It's better not to marry!" Qu Moying smiled implicitly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her lips. "I heard that when my mother married me, she was full of deceit, but in the end she ended up like this. Not only did she lose her life, but even her own child was driven out."
The title of the so-called Second Madam Qu was later used by the Yu family.
The expectations we once had have long since become shattered.
Besides, if she dared to seek revenge on the prince, she might end up dead and she wouldn't know what would happen to her in the future, so what's the point of getting married
"Maybe you will meet a good one." Pei Yuanjun curled the corners of his thin lips and elegantly pulled his wide sleeves.
"Like the son of the Marquis of Yongning?" Qu Moying asked back, not caring.
Xu Lipeng, the son of Marquis Yongning, has been pretending for so many years. At that time, no one had anything but good to say about him when people mentioned him. But the truth was, he had been hooking up with Yu Qingmeng very early on.
If she had not discovered the facts herself, Qu Moying might have found out the truth only after she got married, and then she would have been just another mother, ending in tragedy, with Yu Qingmeng taking the position of the legal wife, and she would have been left with nothing after her death.
Xu Lipeng and Qu Zhizhen are similar examples.
Seeing her say this, Pei Yuanjun felt better. "Don't worry, I will welcome you one day."
Qu Moying curled the corners of his lips and said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty, you should ask the princess for her opinion later. It's too early to say this now."
I heard that the Prince of Yun has been unwilling to get married, and it is not certain when his principal wife will marry.
Pei Yuanjun burst into laughter after hearing this. He stood up and walked in front of Qu Moying. Qu Moying was not tall enough, so he looked even shorter when standing in front of him. He had to lift his head to see his face.
Pei Yuanjun reached out and patted the top of her head, then looked at her face in a good mood: "If you need anything in the future, just let Yudong come to see me."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qu Moying breathed a sigh of relief.
She answered so decisively just now, actually there was some thought behind it. In fact, she had no say in this matter at all. If Pei Yuanjun said it was okay, it was okay. Qu Moying knew clearly that if Pei Yuanjun agreed, there was no need to wait until tomorrow, the emperor would issue an order.
Since he specifically told me that, I should express my attitude and try to win his favor.
The person with the greatest strength she can rely on right now is Pei Yuanjun.
If Pei Luoan ascends the throne, she will not tolerate Pei Yuanjun. On this point, her goal is absolutely the same as Pei Yuanjun's. Even if she risks her death, she will take revenge.
Pei Yuanjun smiled, his extremely long eyelashes fluttered twice on his sleepy eyes which were a bit charming, and the smile reached the bottom of his eyes. He wanted to see more and more what this girl wanted to do.
He could see that she had a purpose, which made it even more interesting. The position of concubine didn't have to be rejected. He could even let her go further.
Ji Hai carefully looked at the handsome face of the prince who was walking past him, and heaved a sigh of relief. After paying his respects to Qu Moying, he hurriedly followed her out with a smile in his eyes. He knew that the prince treated this Fourth Miss Qu differently, otherwise he would not have come over to ask.
It seemed as if she could let Fourth Miss Qu make the decision just by asking. Ji Hai knew his master's personality very well. If it was beneficial to him, he would not care about the other party.
But this time, his master made the trip in person. When he was outside the door just now, although the door was ajar, Ji Hai had been listening closely to what was said inside and could hear it clearly.
Ji Hai narrowed his eyes and followed his master. He was in a good mood. In fact, the most important thing was that his master was in a good mood!
Opposite was a large gold jewelry store. Ji Hai stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sir, do you want to go take a look?"
"Where are you going and what are you going to do?" Pei Yuanjun asked indifferently.
"Master, Fourth Miss Qu might like these." Ji Hai hinted. There has never been any other woman around his master. Even Miss Liu could not get close to the master, so he must not know what women like.
Pei Yuanjun raised his sleepy eyes and looked towards the gold jewelry store, but he only glanced at it briefly, then glanced at Ji Hai who was smiling, and snorted coldly: "What does this have to do with me?"
After saying this, he lazily walked towards the carriage parked on the side.
The large carriage did not know how to restrain itself at all. It was obvious that the owner was either rich or noble. The guards standing in it looked murderous. People dared not approach the carriage and kept walking around it from a distance. When they saw this gentleman coming, their cold eyes made them break out in a cold sweat and they kept walking away from him from a distance.
Only people who are far away can't sense this evil spirit. They think that this gentleman is extremely handsome, charming and majestic, and is truly the best candidate for a husband.
Far away was a pavilion with a table of fruits and snacks on it. Liu Jingyu was sitting on a chair in front of the window, watching this scene.
The charming woman sitting opposite her is Chen Hailan, the second daughter of the current left prime minister. She is currently waiting to be married, and the time is right for her to get married.
Seeing Lady Jingyu looking up, she also turned her eyes and looked at the carriage in the distance. When she saw Pei Yuanjun's handsome face, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked at him getting on the very grand carriage. Her heart suddenly felt warm, a blush appeared on her face, and her heartbeat accelerated.
Whose family is this young man? He is as beautiful as a pearl and as handsome as a jade!
She had seen many daughters of wealthy families, but none of them made her heart beat as fast as the one before her.
"This... Whose young master is this?" Chen Hailan asked subconsciously, her eyes cast on the carriage below with reluctance. She had seen many young masters from noble families in the capital, but she had never seen one as outstanding as this. Even the princes could not compare to such a beauty.
Jingyu County Lord retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Hailan opposite him, with a gentle smile on his face, "It seems to be the Prince of Yun!"
She said uncertainly, "The guards beside the carriage are not what ordinary families have. They are the royal guards."
Is it the Prince of Yun? The blush on Chen Hailan's face faded slightly, and her eyes once again fell on the guards on both sides of the carriage. It's not that she is ignorant, but Pei Yuanjun had just tied up all her attention, so she didn't notice such details for a while.
"Is this really the Prince of Yun?" Chen Hailan bit her lip and asked again.
Of course she knew the notoriety of the Prince of Yun. It was said that he had killed countless people on the border and even his bed was piled with human heads. With such a ferocious reputation, he was actually so handsome. There was no one like him in the world as handsome as jade.
"I'm not too sure, it should be so!" Jingyu County Lord's eyes also fell on the carriage below, but he did not have Chen Hailan's expectations.
She knew more about the kind of person the Prince of Yun was than Chen Hailan.
She was not the only one who heard the story. Such a beautiful woman would not arouse the slightest pity in him. She knew herself well and knew that such a man was not something she could expect. She was more optimistic about King Jing.
As for the crown prince, he has a great advantage, at least on the surface. When the empress summoned her that day, she went as promised. She knew that the empress was looking for the crown princess, but the empress was not favored in the palace, and the power behind her was not that great. The imperial concubine was the emperor's favorite concubine, and she has been so popular for so many years. It was heard that the emperor even intended to change the queen.
This is not groundless, it is also related to the earliest empress. If the queen is really deposed, then the position of the crown prince will be lost. In this way, if the crown prince is unstable, the position of the crown princess will be even more unreliable.
But after all, the queen is still the queen, and the prince is still the prince. So the prince still has the advantage.
Lady Jingyu originally wanted to marry King Jing. The prince had Ji Hanyue at that time, and it was obvious that the prince treated Ji Hanyue very well, unlike ordinary women. Even though she was only a concubine in the past, she might not be able to compete with Ji Hanyue. Compared with others, Ji Hanyue made Lady Jingyu very wary.
Such a woman is proud but very capable, with outstanding appearance, decent manners, and her every word and action is an example of a lady from an aristocratic family. Even if she were to face him, she might not necessarily have a chance of winning.
Compared to the crown prince at that time, Jingyu County Lord felt that Prince Jing was better.
But at the moment, she was also hesitant. That day, the Queen Mother held her hand in a very kind manner, and her words and actions showed a hint of favor, but she did not dare to say a word in response.
At that time, the Queen Mother had her eyes on not only her, but also the second young lady of Prime Minister Chen's mansion in front of her, who was also one of the candidates that the Queen Mother had her eyes on.
"How could the Prince of Yun look like this... I've never heard of anyone saying that the Prince of Yun is so outstanding." Chen Hailan had no idea that County Lord Jingyu had been thinking a lot in just a few words. She looked at the back of the carriage with longing, feeling that this couldn't be true.
"Who dares to comment on the appearance of Prince Yun?" County Lady Jingyu said indifferently.
Chen Hailan fell silent for a while after hearing this. She lowered her head and the blush on her face faded a little. Everyone in the capital knew that this prince was not interested in women. All the women sent to him from the palace were returned intact to him. When he was in a bad mood, he would find an excuse to beat them up and send them back.
Those beautiful palace maids had never suffered such hardship before. After being beaten with a stick without mercy and thrown back half-dead, no one dared to approach the Prince of Yun anymore.
Therefore, the Prince of Yun became notorious.
"I heard that the Queen was choosing for Prince Yun this time." After a moment of silence, Chen Hailan's face flushed slightly again, and she said with expectation.
"The Queen didn't say anything." Jing Yu reminded her lightly.
The Queen Mother only called them to meet, and did not say anything else. She asked them to come back early and did not even keep them for lunch. They did not meet any man, neither the Crown Prince nor the Prince of Yun. According to what the Queen Mother said before, someone would come.
County Lady Jingyu couldn't figure out the details. She looked outside again. It was a plain white figure. Even though she was far away, she could recognize who the woman was. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly remembered what her mother had said to her in private. There was a bit of disgust in her eyes...
