On the high border city wall, Pei Yuanjun stood there in a purple tight suit, and the black cloak on his back rustled in the wind.
There was a coldness on his noble and handsome face, and his eyes were dark as if some violent storm was brewing. They turned slightly, bringing out a bit of hostility.
But this hostility is extremely harmonious with the dark city wall!
This is the border, and every soldier guarding here has a fierce look on his face, which is completely different from the guards in the capital.
"No one came?" Pei Yuanjun retracted his gaze and asked lightly.
"Your Highness, he hasn't come yet!" Ji Hai, who was standing behind him, said in surprise. In his opinion, he was bound to come, but he didn't expect that the prince came here unscathed. This really surprised Ji Hai.
"It seems that the chaos in the northern border is not a small matter!" Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, turned around and walked down the city wall, "Go and call General Fuguo to come over for questioning."
At least half of the military power of the Great Zhou on the border was in the hands of Pei Yuanjun, but he later divided some of it among his younger brothers. The other half originally fell into the hands of General Liu Xiangshan and General Ji Yongming, but after Ji Yongming was recalled, a small part of this military power fell into the hands of the generals, which greatly increased the military strength in the hands of the generals.
Of course, this is only the military power on the border. Although the military power in the capital is limited, it is allocated separately. Even if Pei Yuanjun has not been in the capital, the most troops are still under his name.
As for the others, they fell into the hands of other generals.
This time when leaving the capital, Pei Yuanjun had asked the emperor for permission to return this part of the military power and proposed to give it to Prince of Yan Pei Yanxun. On the one hand, it was to allow Prince of Yan to gain some experience, and on the other hand, Pei Yanxun liked to practice martial arts and had a straightforward personality. The part in the hands of the Auxiliary General should also be returned.
However, as expected, it was not easy for the general to spit it out after swallowing it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to pass on the message in a moment." Ji Hai said with a smile, but immediately stopped and looked at the two people under the city wall.
There were two women, the one behind was a maid, and the one in the front had her hair tied up high, and was tall. Her eyes were bound by a thin gauze ribbon, revealing most of her beautiful and heroic face. It could be seen that her appearance was also very outstanding, and she must be an absolutely beautiful woman.
Compared to Miss Qu Si in the capital, Miss Liu also has poor eyesight, but the gauze that binds the eyes is very short and narrow, and of course thinner, which makes her look more meaningful. People pay attention to her appearance rather than her eyes.
It makes people want to take off her veil and take a look at the beautiful face behind it.
The face has been revealed by 70%, which is more attractive and tempting than if it is completely exposed.
From this perspective, Miss Qu Si is really real. The long veil with eyes is wide and big, covering at least half of her face. Her hair bun is also very simple, with the hair tied lightly at the back and then falling down long, making her look a bit like an immortal.
Ji Hai unconsciously compared the two young ladies with eye diseases in his mind, and immediately stopped thinking, following his prince with his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his mouth.
How could this Miss Liu be compared with Miss Qu Si? If the prince had been interested in her earlier, he would not have waited until now, and would not have taken Miss Liu away without saying a word when she said she was not feeling well and could not go and had to rest in the carriage. He knew that there were many people in the carriage at that time.
The one who came was not Miss Liu, but a maid.
In Ji Hai's opinion, this Miss Liu was just playing hard to get. He didn't expect that his master was so unromantic, or that there were no women in his master's eyes. Of course, Ji Hai reserved his opinion on this. At least now his master had Miss Qu Si in his eyes.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Liu Lanxin stepped forward and bowed gracefully, looking generous and decent.
The guards at the city gate were not surprised to see Miss Liu, and they looked at her with some respect. It was said that Miss Liu's eyes were injured while rescuing Prince Yun.
"Miss Liu, you're too polite!" Pei Yuanjun walked down with his hands behind his back, looking elegant and said indifferently.
"Your Highness, can I say something to you?" Liu Lanxin raised her head, looked at Pei Yuanjun, and said softly.
"I will ask General Fuguo to come over and talk to me later." Pei Yuanjun raised his delicate eyebrows with a hint of laziness.
"Your Highness, it's just one sentence. Can you... please lend me a hand?" Liu Lanxin asked earnestly. Even though her eyes could not be seen, one could still see the grievance and sadness at the corners of her lips.
When such a charming woman looks at a man with such eyes, how many men can resist
Ji Hai glanced at Miss Liu secretly, but felt that she was just pretending. If his master could see it, why would he wait until now
"Come with your father later!" Pei Yuanjun looked at Liu Lanxin coldly. The gloomy look in his eyes almost made Liu Lanxin lose the gentleness and resentment on her face.
That look in his eyes almost penetrated her appearance directly.
"Your Majesty..."
"Miss Liu, I already have a princess, so please stay away from me. If anyone misunderstands you, it will only delay Miss Liu's business, but it will damage my reputation!" Pei Yuanjun's next sentence made Liu Lanxin's face turn pale, and her cherry lips trembled so much that she couldn't make a sound.
When Ji Hai walked past Miss Liu, he looked at her with some sympathy.
This Miss Liu is really self-indulgent. If the master really had feelings for her, why would he treat her like this, imprisoning the maid she sent out, and letting Miss Qu Si pretend to be Miss Liu? Although the prince did have ulterior motives before, it seemed different in Ji Hai later.
"Your Highness...you...you...got married?" Liu Lanxin's incredulous voice finally rang out from behind.
"It's almost there!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily, and left with Ji Hai and the guards without looking back.
The handkerchief in Liu Lanxin's hand was almost twisted into pieces. She couldn't believe what she heard was true. Apart from herself, which other woman in the world was worthy of Prince Yun? Why would any woman dare to marry her
"Miss!" said the maid, looking timidly at the back of Prince Yun in front of her. Just the back made her shiver, remembering that day when the young lady asked her to hide in the carriage and pretend to be a young lady, and said that if she was found on the road, she should say that the young lady was unwell. But she was afraid that it would delay Prince Yun's return to Beijing, so she asked her to hide in the carriage pretending to be a young lady.
Originally, Prince Yun had discovered it during the first day of rest. Seeing that the young lady cared so much about him, he would definitely turn around to pick her up and go to Beijing together. It would only delay her for one day at most, which would not affect Prince Yun's important event, but it would allow Prince Yun to understand the young lady's intentions.
I didn't expect that after I found out, the Prince of Yun imprisoned me in the carriage without saying a word, and when I arrived in the capital, he just changed me to a
Imprisoned in the yard, he could neither hear nor see anything happening in the capital.
In the end, it was Prince Yun who sent him back.
All the lady’s actions were useless!
Originally she dared to help the young lady think of some solutions, but now she is really scared!
"Let's go find father!" Liu Lanxin gritted her teeth. Apart from the Prince of Yun, her father was the one with the greatest military power. In the past, Ji Hanyue might have been a possible choice, but now Ji Hanyue was dead. In terms of military power, her status was much more noble than those young ladies in the capital.
You can tell from the fact that His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been writing letters to his father and sending gifts to himself. Prince Yun said that he was not at home at the time and had only one maid, so he found a woman to replace him for a few days, as a way of showing that he had arrived in the capital.
Even if it only took a few days, and he was an impostor, he could make King Jing fall in love with him. If I, the real one, go there, I don’t know what His Highness King Jing will do!
However, the person she wanted to marry most was not the King Jing, but the Prince of Yun in front of her!
As for King Jing, let's leave him alone for now.
When Qu Moying came out of Yueyi Pavilion, Yu Dong was already waiting outside with the carriage.
Qu Moying held Yuchun's hand and led them to the carriage. Before getting on, he sniffed lightly and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
The contents of the carriage remained the same as always.
Several maids also got on the carriage together. They went back to Qu Mansion in silence. After getting off the carriage, they asked Yuchun to take the two maids back first, while Qu Moying took Yudong to pay their respects to the lady.
Seeing that it was getting late, the lady did not keep her and asked her to go back first. After she returned to Qianyueju and washed up again, Nanny Yan came over with concern.
"Miss, is there a young lady who wants to compete with you at Princess Changyu's residence today?" Nanny Yan was really worried. Although she felt that there was nothing wrong with her young lady, she was still afraid that something unexpected would happen.
"Someone competed with me in piano skills. There's nothing else to it. It's just that the Lord of Jingyu County wanted to harm me, but he didn't expect to end up in trouble." Qu Moying didn't intend to hide it from Nanny Yan, so he told her what happened in the water pavilion in Princess Changyu's mansion. Nanny Yan looked angry.
"Miss, I don't know what's going on with this Jingyu County Lord. Please be more careful next time."
"Madam Yan, why do you think she wants to treat me like this?" Qu Moying said calmly. In the past, the fights between the two were all private and never brought to the table, but this time it was real. Qu Moying really wanted to hear some answers from Madam Yan. Madam Yan was experienced and might be able to give her some new clues.
Qu Moying felt that it was difficult to clear up the mystery of his relationship with Liu Jingyu, so he had been testing them, including letting Qi Xiangyu look at his guqin today while he observed Qi Xiangyu's reaction from the side.
Qi Xiangyu's reaction today was very strange. She must know this "Feng Yu" guqin.
"Miss, when did you feel that she wanted to deal with you?" Nanny Yan did not jump to conclusion and thought for a while.
"I think she was hostile to me when we first met!" Qu Moying pretended to think about it, then said affirmatively, "Madam Yan, why do you think this high and mighty Lord Jingyu County would treat me like this?"
With this opportunity today, she wanted to ask Nanny Yan to help her analyze it in detail. Although she had some guesses, they were just guesses after all. Maybe Nanny Yan could help her uncover the truth...
