Liu Jingyu felt that she had enough to be proud of on this point.
When my mother married into the Liu Mansion from the Duke of Qi's Mansion, the dowry she brought with her was almost half of the Duke of Qi's Mansion's savings. My grandfather loved my mother the most, and he gave her whatever she liked. I heard that even my grandmother felt distressed later on, but she was still very generous.
This also meant that the dowry of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi's Mansion at that time was not only the so-called ten-mile red makeup, but also some of it was carried into the Liu Mansion early on.
Before, when Ji Hanyue married the prince, it was said that there was also a grand wedding with a long wedding ceremonies, which looked perfect and happy. However, Liu Jingyu felt that if she were to marry into the prince's mansion, she would definitely have much more than Ji Hanyue.
Whatever Ji Hanyue has, I will definitely have too. Whatever Ji Hanyue doesn't have, I still have too.
From this point of view, she is much more powerful than Ji Hanyue. Moreover, she has the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the Minister Liu's Mansion behind her, which are higher than the Ling Anbo Mansion.
If my grandfather was still in charge of the military power, I would have been chosen then. Unfortunately, my grandfather has not been in charge of affairs for many years, so Ji Hanyue got there first. But now Ji Hanyue is no longer a concern. What makes Liu Jingyu unhappy is that if I marry the Crown Princess again, I will be the concubine.
The word "inheritance" made her very dissatisfied.
Of course, there is no rush for this matter now, and she will definitely find a way to deal with it in the future.
Ji Hanyue, a dead person, could it be that she really thought she had won the prince's heart? In her opinion, the prince's attitude towards Ji Hanyue was just like this, and it seemed more like a superficial act.
She was confident that she could control the prince's heart and make him think of her. As for Ji Youran, she was nothing to be afraid of. When she entered the Eastern Palace, she would be just a concubine. It would be easy for her to do anything she wanted to her. She was not Ji Hanyue, so she would not show mercy to Ji Youran...
As for Qu Moying, she knew the place that Princess Xiangrong liked the most, so it should be placed there this time. Liu Jingyu had deliberately asked her maids to befriend a maid in that place a long time ago. She had her staff there, so she could prepare for emergencies, and this time it could be used...
There were many notices sent out from Princess Changyu's mansion, and many young ladies received them. Some of them were unable to go because of something, so they went to Princess Xiangrong to say sorry.
As for those who can come, each of them is preparing their clothes. Although they don't have to be stunning, they must not be outdone. Especially when they heard that the controversial fourth young lady from Minister Qu's residence would also come this time, and was one of the must-comeers, the young ladies prepared even more attentively.
It has been a while since Qu Moying returned to the capital, but not many people have seen him. Many young ladies still have the impression that Qu Moying is a man with no talent or looks as he is said to be.
But recently this rumor has faded, and many people who have seen Qu Moying are saying that this fourth Miss Qu is not as untalented and ugly as imagined. She should be pretty good-looking. Although her face is blocked by a long veil and one cannot see what she looks like, it is definitely not ugly.
Some people were curious, some wanted to embarrass her, and some felt it was ironic. The Qu family had always been centered around Miss Qu San, so what did it mean for Miss Qu Si to come forward? After all, everyone was saying that Miss Qu San would definitely enter the Jing Wang Mansion, and even the Jing Wang had hinted at this.
Although it was not stated explicitly, after this meaning was expressed, everyone must have a higher opinion of Miss Qu San, and Miss Qu Si
Which one
The Qu family did not allow Miss Qu San to show up, but instead found Miss Qu Si. It seems that the Qu family really has no one left.
But it's okay, it's also good to see how this Fourth Miss Qu makes a fool of herself. Recently, there have been some incidents in the Qu Mansion from time to time, and it's not bad for everyone to watch the fun and have some fun.
There were all kinds of ideas. Generally speaking, all the participants were actively preparing clothes. Even Qu Moying's Yueyi Pavilion's business improved a lot. This was mainly because the five-color brocade brought in by Yueyi Pavilion from the Jiangnan area was very good and was liked by many young ladies for a while. People went there to make clothes from time to time.
Qu Moying herself also chose five-color brocade. She thought it was a good opportunity to promote her own shop. She had never worn the five-color brocade clothes that her grandmother had made for her from Jiangnan. She chose a light purple jacket and put on a light moon-colored skirt with eight-panel purple flowers. She immediately stunned the maids.
"Miss, it's really beautiful. I thought this dress was beautiful before, but I didn't expect it to look so good when I wear it." Yuchun opened her mouth so wide that she could hardly close it. Her young lady was so beautiful after dressing up. It was a pity that the young lady still didn't want to show her true face and still tied her eyes lightly with gauze.
Yu Dong also nodded repeatedly and smiled: "Young lady is so beautiful. I thought this dress was a little light just now, but I didn't expect it to look so good on you."
Yu Dong’s vision is different from that of other maids. She thinks that rich and colorful clothes are beautiful and elegant. She had just argued with Yu Chun about it. But after seeing Qu Moying wearing it, she felt that it would be redundant to say anything. There was only one word: beautiful!
Her waist was tied up with a light purple belt, revealing her slender waist. Qu Moying had taken good care of herself during this period. She had grown a head taller and looked more slender and elegant. Nanny Yan had recently selected a prescription from the palace to regulate her body, and she looked like a beautiful jade woman.
It is even better than the earliest time.
Her complexion was as white as jade, and her face was pale and tender with a hint of pink. Her black hair was tied up high. She wore a pair of pearl earrings and a pair of pearl hairpins with a faint purple hue. The pearls were purple, and although they were small, they matched the clothes very well, and her whole face looked softer.
The sash used for tying the knot was also a very light purple color. If you look closely, you can still vaguely see some purple, which matches her clothes very well.
The most eye-catching thing is the small jade fan on her slender waist, with a purple tassel hanging on it. It is unique and elegant with the color of jade, making Qu Moying look much more noble.
Coupled with Qu Moying's own manners and actions, one glance is enough to make people's eyes light up, and they can't help but marvel that the person in front of them must be a beauty.
Nanny Yan was all smiles as she watched, nodding her head repeatedly. She once again felt that she had good taste, as the things she picked were perfectly suited to a young lady's status, while also being elegant and decent.
After dressing up, Qu Moying went to say goodbye to the lady-in-waiting. The lady-in-waiting smiled and let her walk around twice before letting her go with satisfaction.
There were a lot of things to bring with him, and Qu Moying brought two older maids and two younger maids this time.
A few people walked out in a grand manner, but unexpectedly they met Qu Qiuyan at the second gate.
"Hello, Third Sister." Since they had met, Qu Moying simply bowed lightly.
Qu Qiuyan looked Qu Moying up and down with a bad look in her eyes. She snorted coldly, "Fourth sister, are you going to a party? I heard it's at the Changyu Grand Princess's mansion. I don't know if Changyu is going to a party or not.
Does the Grand Princess know that it was you who came to our house? "
Qu Qiuyan has known about this for a few days and is very angry.
"Third sister, you can go if you want!" Qu Moying raised her head and smiled slightly.
How could two people go to one post? It meant that the Changyu Grand Duke's Mansion only invited one young lady from the Qu family. If Qu Qiuyan went there again, she would be humiliated.
"Fourth sister, you are so proud. Grandmother was partial to you and gave the note to you. Of course, you can go now. I just hope that fourth sister can have the last laugh." Qu Qiuyan said arrogantly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Third Sister. As long as Third Sister is not here, I believe I will be fine." Qu Moying said indifferently and walked straight out. When passing by Qu Qiuyan, he deliberately glanced at her with endless sarcasm. Qu Qiuyan almost couldn't control herself when she was looked at.
He stared at Qu Moying's receding back with indignation, his teeth clenched.
"Miss, don't be angry. You will definitely be better than the fourth young lady in the future." Qingmei said very cleverly, "The second young master is still waiting for you. Do you want to go over now?"
Qu Qiuyan originally went to the East Mansion to see Qu Mingcheng, but she deliberately came here. Needless to say, she wanted to see how Qu Moying was dressed. In her opinion, no matter how Qu Moying dressed up, she would always make people smile. Qu Moying had never been there, so how could she know what these people liked? She must have dressed inappropriately.
Unexpectedly, she saw Qu Moying, who was dressed so beautifully that even she was stunned. She felt so angry that she couldn't get rid of it and felt even more resentful.
"Go!" Qu Qiuyan gritted her teeth and turned her grim eyes to Qu Moying's receding back. This sight made her angry again.
She has always been the noble lady of the Qu family, and she is also the most cautious one when traveling. But now, I can only wait in the mansion, while Qu Moying can go out. Why
After suppressing her anger, Qu Qiuyan turned around and left, thinking of what her brother said. Her brother said that this matter could not be rushed. Now that her grandmother and father were on Qu Moying's side, she had to listen to her brother and deal with it carefully...
The carriage had already stopped at the gate of the mansion. Qu Moying got on the carriage with four maids. This carriage was much larger than usual and was the one that the lady usually used for her travels.
Five people sitting inside did not feel crowded.
The carriage went all the way to the Grand Princess Changyu's mansion. Although the Grand Princess Changyu married Marquis Jingyang, usually the couple and their children lived in the Grand Princess's mansion.
Princess Changyu has a son and a daughter. Her son is the heir of Marquis Jingyang, and her daughter went to the palace to ask for a title, which is Princess Xiangrong. Both of them are said to be extremely outstanding.
The carriage went all the way and passed several streets before arriving in front of the Grand Princess's Mansion. A maid had been waiting there for a long time and came to greet them with a smile.
"Excuse me, which family is this lady from?"
"We are from Minister Qu's residence." Yu Dong lifted the curtain and said to the old woman outside.
"It turns out to be Miss Qu Si. Please come with me." The old woman had seen the list and knew which young ladies came from each mansion. After hearing what Yu Dong said, she immediately understood Qu Moying's identity. While speaking, she curiously took a look inside. It was said that this Miss Qu Si was the most controversial one and also had eye disease, but no one knew what she looked like.
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and glared at the old woman fiercely, forcing her gaze back...
