"What happened to falling into the river?" Yu Dong thought for a moment and asked, thinking that it might be the incident in which the eldest lady wanted to harm her own lady that had erupted.
I didn't expect the eldest lady to be so stupid that she actually revealed this matter.
"The eldest lady fell into the river. When did it happen?" Yu Chun was surprised and asked Yu Dong with wide eyes.
"If it's not this, what else is going on?" Yu Dong was also stunned. He looked at Yu Chun and asked hesitantly. It seemed that something else had happened to the eldest lady after they separated.
This young lady is really good at causing trouble. It hasn't been such a long time and she has caused another big trouble. Yudong sensed some evil taste in her words at this time. He pulled Yuchun and walked to the side, wanting to hear her detailed account.
Just because Qu Xuexin had plotted against his young lady, Yu Dong had never had a good impression of this young lady. Now that he heard that she was in trouble, he cheered from the bottom of his heart.
"I don't know the details, but it seems like there was a conflict with the concubine in the Prince's Mansion. It seems that Concubine Ji did something to him. Then the eldest master saw it, but he didn't recognize Concubine Ji, so he stepped forward and pushed her. Then the matter became a big deal." Yu Chun said.
Pushing the prince's concubine to the ground would cause a huge uproar.
Yu Dong naturally knew about Concubine Ji in the Prince's Mansion. She was not a good person either. Before, the young lady had asked him to trick her into going to the sea of lights.
But how did this cause a conflict with the eldest daughter? Logically speaking, this conflict should have nothing to do with the eldest daughter. If there was any conflict, it was with Jingyu County Lady who seemed to be seeking the position of Crown Princess.
"The eldest lady is so unlucky!" Yu Dong sighed without any sincerity.
When Concubine Ji left Yueyi Pavilion, she was obviously looking for trouble. Instead of meeting Lady Jingyu, she had a conflict with the eldest lady. Yu Dong felt that the eldest lady was really unlucky.
He fell into the water once before, and now it has become like this again. It looks like there will be more follow-up to this matter!
It's not that she didn't mind watching the fun, but she was afraid that this matter would eventually involve her own young lady. Now that the prince was about to leave Beijing, it would be bad if her own young lady was involved.
Yu Dong was worried about Qu Moying being implicated. In the Prince's Mansion, Ji Youran was angry and annoyed, and was also very worried.
Her worry was that when she asked to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Pei Luoan did not see her.
After leaving Yueyi Pavilion angrily, Ji Youran went straight to the sea of lanterns. After asking people, he found out where the lanterns that had been burned before were piled up. When he looked there, he easily saw a pair of lanterns with the words "Prince" and "Liu Jingyu" on them.
It’s just that the last character of the name falls on each lamp, and you can’t see it unless you look carefully, and of course you can’t think of it if you don’t expect it.
One word for peace, one word for gentleness!
If they were placed separately, no one would suspect them; but even if they were placed together, no one would be sure that they were them.
But Ji Youran recognized it at a glance. It was the prince's handwriting, and the word "rou" next to it was, needless to say, Liu Jingyu's handwriting. Seeing these two words, Ji Youran was so angry that she wanted to slap Liu Jingyu twice. Why did she have to work hard to follow the prince step by step to where he is now, but she got the good thing
How could she be willing
Just when he was angry and thinking about going to find the prince and Liu Jingyu, he saw a woman coming over. It turned out that she came to take the lanterns of the prince and Liu Jingyu.
The people around Ji Youran tried to stop him, but failed.
The woman said that the pair of lamps belonged to them.
Ji Youran was angry, and when he heard that it was them, he asked someone to go over and slap the woman hard twice, making her fall to the ground and cry.
This attracted people nearby to come and watch. When the commotion was getting intense, a man came over and pushed Ji Youran away. Ji Youran was standing among the crowd at the time and was pushed back two steps and fell to the ground.
The servants were terrified and immediately shouted "Empress Concubine" and stopped the man from leaving.
Ji Youran was helped up, and after interrogation, it was discovered that the pair were siblings from the Qu family. The eldest daughter and the eldest son of the Qu family were the children of Censor Qu.
When Ji Youran thought of the fourth young lady of the Qu family, she became even more furious. Her current situation was closely related to this fourth young lady Qu.
After having the brother and sister sent back to the Qu Mansion, she asked the Qu Mansion to give her an explanation tomorrow.
After that, she returned to the East Palace. When she heard that Pei Luoan had returned, Ji Youran did not go back to comb her hair again. Instead, she came to Pei Luoan in a messy dress and cried about it. Unexpectedly, Pei Luoan turned her away.
"Empress Concubine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is tired today, so you are asked to go back first." An eunuch came out and smiled at Ji Youran.
"I... I was pushed and fell just now. I am the daughter of a minister in the court, and I want to talk to Your Highness about this." Ji Youran covered her eyes with a handkerchief and begged in tears.
The eunuch looked at her in embarrassment.
"Go and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and tell him about this matter. A minister should come to talk to His Royal Highness tomorrow." Ji Youran said. She was asking for a meeting now using this matter as an excuse.
Considering the prince's cautious personality, he will definitely meet with him.
Sure enough, the eunuch had no choice but to turn around and go in. Not long after, he came out and said to Ji Youran, "My Lady Concubine, please come in with me."
"Yes!" Ji Youran wiped her tears vigorously.
Pei Luoan was sitting in the room with a piano at his side. His fingers were pressing on the piano but no sound came out, and his expression was obscure.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Ji Youran stepped forward to pay his respects, suppressing the jealousy in his eyes and telling himself that his current enemy was the Lord of Jingyu County.
"Start!" Pei Luoan waved his hand, his eyes still on the musical instrument in front of him, without even looking at Ji Youran.
"Tell me what happened. Which minister is it?" Pei Luoan asked again.
"Yes... She's the young lady from the Qu Mansion." Ji Youran's eyes became redder and redder, looking at her with tears in her eyes.
Qu Mansion
Pei Luoan raised his head and looked at Ji Youran. He saw that not only her clothes were a little messy, but her hair was also loose, making her look very pitiful. Her eyes were red, and even in this miserable state, she still looked somewhat pitiful. This timid look was once his favorite.
Looking at it now, it seems boring!
Mingming clearly felt that although Ji Youran was not as pretty as Ji Hanyue, she was gentler, more considerate, and more tender. Even when she was wronged by Ji Hanyue, she never took the initiative to tell her about the grievances. Even when she discovered that Ji Hanyue treated Pei Yusheng differently, she still helped her cover it up.
But now, Ji Hanyue is gone, and Ji Youran seems to make him unhappy.
I don’t know if it’s because of Ji Hanyue, or because Ji Youran’s actions have been increasingly not to his liking recently
What the Queen Mother said was indeed true.
With Youran's upbringing, how could she be the queen and turn the Eastern Palace into its current state? Only Ji Youran could do that.
Pei Luoan looked at Ji Youran thoughtfully without saying anything.
Having not heard Pei Luoan's voice for a long time, Ji Youran raised her eyes worriedly and glanced at him. Seeing that he looked thoughtful, she panicked and called softly, "Your Highness!"
"Tell me more details!" Pei Luoan said coldly.
"I walked to the sea of lights and wanted to hang a pair for Your Highness and me, but a woman ran out, snatched a pair and burned them and ran away. I thought this was outrageous, so I asked someone to stop her. The woman started arguing with several servants, and then a man rushed out from the crowd, stretched out his hand and pushed the people next to me, and even I fell down. Your Highness, I am useless and have embarrassed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When I asked, she said she was from the Qu Mansion, so I didn't make things difficult for her. I just asked them to come to the East Palace to apologize tomorrow!"
Ji Youran felt very aggrieved and started sobbing, and she sounded extremely innocent in her words.
The matter of Liu Jingyu was not brought up either.
She knew that before the matter was made clear, she couldn't bring up Liu Jingyu in her words, as it would not be good for her. Moreover, she wanted to ruin this matter from the bottom of her heart and didn't want County Lady Jingyu to marry in.
If she had known that Jingyu County Lord existed, she would rather spare Ji Hanyue's life. At least Ji Hanyue was good to her.
But the two of them were destined to be hostile. All she wanted was to step on Ji Hanyue and take her position as the Crown Princess.
But now, when people die, they don’t seem to be as persistent as before.
"Which young lady from the Qu Mansion?" Pei Luoan asked after listening carefully, his eyes flashing slightly.
"It's the eldest lady of the Qu family." Ji Youran's heart skipped a beat. Although the prince didn't say anything, she had been following him for some time. How could she not hear the other meaning in his words
She didn't like this implication.
"I know about Censor Qu's daughter." Pei Luoan nodded calmly, his eyes still on the zither, without stopping to say anything.
"Your Highness..." Ji Youran wanted to say something, but seeing Pei Luoan acting like this, she could only bite her lip and lower her head, "I will go and burn a stick of incense for the Crown Princess first..."
"What kind of incense should we burn now?" Pei Luoan asked casually.
"When I was here before, the Crown Princess always liked days like this, but now when I think about it... I feel sad. That day... it was an accident, no one wanted it to be like this. It was the Crown Princess herself who acted inappropriately, but now when I think about it, I still feel sad." Ji Youran's eyebrows drooped, and the corners of her lips showed a bitter smile, "It's me... I'm sorry, the Crown Princess, I want to go and talk to her."
Ji Youran bowed to Pei Luoan and prepared to leave.
"Stay with me for a moment. I'll go with you." Pei Luoan's voice came from behind my ear.
Ji Youran's eyes were filled with obvious jealousy, but she suppressed it forcefully before turning her head again. She even showed a hint of surprise and smiled tearfully, "Really? Your Highness, are you really going to go see Second Sister?"
When the old name came out, Pei Luoan showed a hint of bitterness on his face, then stood up and said indifferently: "Let's go!"
Ji Youran's heart sank, the venom in her heart almost overflowed, she clenched her hands tightly, letting the sharp pain in her palms, she would not resign herself to this even if she died...
