"If Liu Xiangshan sends someone, just leave them aside first!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily, closing his handsome eyes that made people feel as if they were filled with deep darkness.
"Yes, but what if it's Miss Liu?" Ji Hai hesitated.
"Same!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily, "When I brought her to the capital, a fake one came. I was able to send the fake one back alive, which can be regarded as my generosity."
Ji Hai knew very well about the trip to Beijing. It could be said that if it hadn't happened, his own prince wouldn't have noticed Fourth Miss Qu all of a sudden. So, Ji Hai felt that this was a good thing.
As for the accident that his master mentioned, Ji Hai felt that this was not an accident at all. It was clearly because his master was unwilling to bring Miss Liu to Beijing, which led to the consequences.
Of course, my master is innocent, as innocent as a newly grown white lotus that can sway in the wind.
"What do you mean, sir?" Ji Hai asked cautiously.
"I don't have any plans. I just want her to stay away from me. It's annoying to look at her!" Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
"I know." Ji Hai understood. This meant that the people sent by Miss Liu privately would not be seen, and all the letters sent would be returned.
Sometimes I really admire Miss Liu. How could she have the ability to test her master's feelings? If her master really had feelings for him, there would be no need for her to be so proactive in probing him. He would have taken action on his own long ago.
Just like that Fourth Miss Qu, if there is no opportunity, my master will create one and just bump into her directly.
There were many rumors about this matter in the capital, all saying that Fourth Miss Qu was committing fraud. But in fact, it was her master who took the initiative to commit fraud, not Fourth Miss Qu. Ji Hai felt that he had the most say in this.
Of course, this was also an accident for me. I didn't want to see the Queen in the first place. She said she wanted to choose a concubine for me, but I didn't think so in my heart. But when I bumped into Miss Qu Si, I had a legitimate reason not to go.
But if the master really treated Fourth Miss Qu the same way he treated the other young ladies in the past, he would not have bumped into Fourth Miss Qu. At that time, there were many people in the Prince's Mansion. If he didn't bump into the daughters of the noble families, he could have bumped into the princes, young masters, or any other adults who came to pay homage. Wouldn't bumping into any of them be a reason
Ji Hai felt that he saw it most clearly, perhaps even more clearly than his own grandfather.
Therefore, I feel that Miss Liu's tactics of playing hard to get are really funny. She is like a clown and she thinks she has succeeded.
Things in the Northern Frontier are in chaos. I came to the border this time not for Miss Liu. I hope Miss Liu will stop being so sentimental!
As for General Liu, he is not a fuel-efficient person either, and has been doing so for many years...
Ji Hai knew all of this, but he kept it to himself. As the confidant of Prince Yun, he was just a small eunuch...
Qu Moying had no idea that her every move had been seen by an evildoer far outside the capital. She was currently looking at what Nanny Yan had prepared for her.
It wasn't just the matching clothes, there were also some other things that amazed Qu Moying.
"Is this a small decorative fan?" Qu Moying picked up a pocket-sized
"It's not a jade fan," he asked in surprise. It was a very small fan, only the size of three fingers put together, and the length was similar. The white jade handle and the fan leaf were clearly visible, as if they were real.
The light red color on the top is not something that ordinary jade can have.
Holding it in the hand, you can see the delicate texture of the jade. The red color on the top looks like a layer of light red embroidery on a fan. It is elegant and bright, and very beautiful.
"Yes, this is a small fan for your ornaments. It can be hung next to the sachet at your waist. Miss, you can make a tassel and hang it on it. It looks unique and different from the ordinary ones. People will not think your ornaments are simple anymore."
Nanny Yan pointed at the fan and said with a smile.
Qu Moying looked down and saw a small hole on the fan handle. It should be the place to hang the tassel. Her embroidery skills were not the best, but she was okay at making the tassel.
"Do you also need to bring musical instruments, chess equipment and other things?" Qu Moying put down the jade fan in his hand and pointed to the other items placed in front of him.
There is everything including music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Qu Moying had his own Feng Yuqin, an exquisite chessboard, as well as writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. Everything he prepared was very complete. It didn't feel like he was attending a banquet, but rather like making friends through literature, which was what scholars and literati loved to do the most.
"Miss, at such gatherings of young ladies, there are often competitions. Miss, you are new here and this is your first time attending such a banquet. It is inevitable that other young ladies will bully you and deliberately step on you. If you don't show some real ability, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to integrate into the circle of these young ladies from aristocratic families, but you will also become a big joke in the capital."
Nanny Yan said.
Nanny Yan was very confident about her own young lady. Rumors were never credible. If she had not been with the young lady for a period of time, she might have really believed that the young lady was neither talented nor pretty. After all, given the environment in which the young lady lived, it was impossible for her to be talented.
But the young lady is not only beautiful, but also talented.
In addition, with the support of the Prince of Yun's Mansion, Nanny Yan felt that it would not be difficult for her to gain a foothold among the noble ladies of aristocratic families. This was her first time attending the event, so of course some people would provoke her. She should be fully prepared to avoid being panicked and making those young ladies think she was petty.
If you are going to do it, you have to do it well.
Nanny Yan has this confidence.
"So, I should bring an extra maid with me this time?" Qu Moying really didn't understand the twists and turns here. It was not necessary in the previous life. No one could offend the future Crown Princess, and Ji Hanyue's identity would not allow them to look down on her.
"Yes, young lady, please take Yuchun and Yudong with you, and also assign two maids to stay at the carriage to look after these things. If needed, just send them over." Nanny Yan nodded.
"So, there must be someone who will provoke me?" Qu Moying turned around, sat down on the chair, and said with a bright smile.
"Of course they are. Every newcomer will be troubled. This is an unwritten rule in the circle of young ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing. In fact, it can't be considered as treating the young ladies badly." Nanny Yan said with a smile.
Qu Moying's eyes slid across the things on the table. In addition to the matching clothes, the items on the table were mostly about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It didn't seem like he was attending a banquet, but rather like he was going to fight an enemy.
"I just arrived in the capital.
, will there be such a thing?" Qu Moying said thoughtfully.
"Basically, unless you don't want to enter the circle of young ladies from aristocratic families, then even if you are of noble status, you will still feel excluded and uncomfortable. I once met a noble lady in the palace. She was not from the capital, but came to the capital later. I heard that she was not recognized at the beginning and was always despised and ridiculed by others. Later, she studied hard for a long time and gradually integrated into the circle."
“But even so, after entering the palace, other nobles will bring up this issue and ridicule it,” said Nanny Yan.
"The young lady has these private gatherings, what about the young ladies?" Qu Moying bit her lip lightly, and did not ask about the nobles in the palace. She turned to another direction, "What will happen if it is a lady who just married to the capital? Will she be excluded as well?"
"Many of the young ladies are friends of the boudoir. They are not as concerned about the change in status as the older ladies. They occasionally chat and get together, but it is not as difficult for them to integrate into the circle as the ladies of the aristocratic families. At least, the ladies' ideas have changed and are no longer limited to the boudoir. But if..."
When Nanny Yan said this, she glanced at Qu Moying. She had already guessed what Qu Moying meant by the question.
“But if you are really not recognized, you will be excluded.” Nanny Yan said frankly.
So, when my mother first got married and came to the capital, she must have been ostracized. Not to mention that she had just arrived in the capital and had rarely seen people before, there was also the matter of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi's mansion stealing her husband. Even Liu Jingyu cared so much about it. Qu Moying didn't believe that Madam Liu really had no grudges against her.
Qu Moying had always been skeptical about the so-called well-behaved Madam Liu, who could be regarded as a model among the wives of ministers.
Not to mention that like mother, like daughter, but the hatred that Liu Jingyu had for himself was so deep that it couldn't be caused by ordinary things.
And there was no such person as Liu Jingyu at that time!
The corners of her mouth curled up silently. She really needed to get into this circle so that she could slowly find out what happened back then. There was definitely something going on here.
Even my mother’s death might not be simply a case of childbirth complications, right
She pressed her hands hard on the chair rail to suppress the excitement in her heart. Her long eyelashes trembled twice, and then slowly lifted up. Her eyes were deep and misty, very beautiful and dangerous.
"Madam Yan, please prepare a few more chess manuals for me!" Qu Moying said.
Among the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was relatively weak in chess, so she prepared a few more books and made up for it in the next few days.
"Yes, I understand." Nanny Yan nodded with a smile, feeling relieved. She was afraid that the young lady would resist, but now that the young lady agreed, that was all that mattered.
After saying this, Nanny Yan turned around and left.
"Madam Yan, where did this jade fan come from?" Qu Moying asked casually, glancing casually at the outstanding jade fan. There was no such fan in the Qu Mansion, and she had never had one before.
"The Prince of Yun's Mansion sent a set of jewelry. I thought this jade fan was nice, and I didn't dare to accept the others, so I accepted this one. I brought it here just now to let the young lady take a look. The young lady didn't ask, and I didn't dare to say more." Nanny Yan immediately stopped and explained.
