"Cousin." As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw Xiao Hanyuan standing at the door with a concerned look on her face.
"Cousin Xiao, I'm leaving first." Qu Xuexin really had no intention of responding to Xiao Hanyuan. She turned slightly sideways, bowed, and left, not even wanting to be perfunctory with him.
Originally, Xiao Hanyuan was of some use, but now he is of no use at all. She has to think of a way herself. Going to find Jingyu County Lady is the best way at the moment.
The matter of the Crown Prince's Mansion was originally thought to be not a problem with King Jing's intervention, but it turned out to have caused so many problems. If Lady Jingyu were to ask the Crown Prince to let go, then the problem of a concubine wouldn't be a big deal.
Seeing Qu Xuexin leaving without looking back, with a hint of disgust in her eyes, Xiao Hanyuan was really stunned. He could hardly believe what he had just seen.
Do you dislike yourself
But how could she dislike me? My cousin is so gentle, how could she do such a thing? Did I see it wrong
Staring blankly at Qu Xuexin's receding back, Xiao Hanyuan began to doubt Qu Xuexin for the first time...
Qu Moying also said goodbye to the old lady and left. At the moment, it was not him who made the decision, but the old lady and the brothers Qu Zhizhen and Qu Zhilin.
Just now it was only because Qu Xuexin mentioned that I was asking about the situation. Seeing that Qu Qiuyan didn't come at this time, I knew that I had nothing to do with the final decision of this matter.
When he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw Xiao Hanyuan standing outside, staring at Qu Xuexin's receding back in a daze. He curled the corners of his lips silently and turned to walk another way.
At the moment, Qu Xuexin had no intention of paying attention to Xiao Hanyuan. Of course, she couldn't be as considerate as she used to be. Instead, she made Xiao Hanyuan seem like he was being sentimental.
The follow-up of this matter was notified to Qu Moying in the afternoon.
The three sisters went to the Crown Prince's Mansion in the Eastern Palace together to apologize to Concubine Ji. It was not certain whether they could be forgiven, but at least it showed the Qu family's caution.
Qu Moying was not surprised by this result.
No matter how many disagreements there are between the three sisters, in the eyes of outsiders, they are a trinity.
The reason why Qu Qiuyan was not brought in before was probably because of King Jing, but King Jing is of no use at the moment, so Qu Qiuyan, who has a good relationship with King Jing, was brought in as well. At least it is a face saver, even if not for the sake of other people, it is still for the sake of King Jing.
Qu Moying was pulled in, probably for this reason as well.
However, because Prince Yun is not Prince Jing, and he doesn't care that much about Qu Moying, there is a high possibility that Qu Moying was just included to make up the number. After all, the three sisters going together also shows their sincerity.
"Miss, after the eldest lady went back, she indeed found someone to go out with, but she hasn't come back yet." Nanny Miao came in to report.
She didn't care about the affairs of Qianyue Residence, and only focused on building good relationships with the servants in the mansion, not only those in the West Mansion, but also those in the East Mansion. Everyone in the mansion knew that she was Qu Moying's confidant and had suffered with Qu Moying. Now Qu Moying treated her well and didn't let her interfere in anything, so it was also a favor.
When they saw Nanny Miao, they all felt that she was blessed. Although she followed a useless Fourth Young Miss, the Fourth Young Miss was a good person and was very generous to the people around her. She was given an idle position and did not do any real work, but still received a salary as a housekeeper. It was really enviable.
Therefore, Miao Ma and the mansion
I have a good relationship with many of the maids in the palace. This time, I went to chat with a maid who was a gatekeeper in the East Palace and talked about this matter.
Qu Moying nodded and decided to go find Liu Jingyu. Qu Xuexin must have felt that the only person she could rely on right now was Liu Jingyu.
But the problem is that Liu Jingyu sees that she is useless and doesn't necessarily want her to get close to him. She hasn't come back yet, which determines Liu Jingyu's attitude.
Just like Qu Xuexin treated Xiao Hanyuan, now it is Liu Jingyu who is treating Qu Xuexin. Karma is a cycle and retribution will come true.
The carriages had already stopped. The three sisters from the Qu family got on the large carriage in front together. The carriage behind followed Madam Wu and the accompanying gifts. The gifts were very generous, prepared by the East Mansion, and the lady dowager put some more in, making sure that Concubine Ji would be satisfied.
To put it in a small way, this matter is a slap in the face of Concubine Ji, and to put it in a big way, it is a slap in the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Who dares to touch the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
"Sister, you fell into the water yourself, how can you still want to go to the Tongxin Lantern? Are you going with this young master Wang?" Qu Qiuyan said unhappily when she saw Qu Xuexin coming in.
She was dragged into this inexplicably and was very angry at the moment.
Especially this matter, it seems to have slapped King Jing's face. It would be strange if Qu Qiuyan could look at Qu Xuexin in a good face? She was going to enter King Jing's mansion in the future, and she felt that her status was not much worse than that of Concubine Ji. But now she was forced by the mansion to apologize with Qu Xuexin. How could she feel aggrieved!
Before Qu Moying returned to the mansion, Qu Qiuyan was the most powerful among the three sisters in the mansion. The two sisters from the East Mansion had to look at Qu Qiuyan's face.
After Qu Xuexin sat down, her face looked very unhappy. The maid she sent to seek help from Jingyu County Lord has not returned yet. She didn't know whether she didn't see Jingyu County Lord or for some other reason.
There has been no response till now, and she has no mood to quarrel with Qu Qiuyan. She is very annoyed and keeps her head down, holding the handkerchief in her hand, without saying a word.
He seemed to be deaf to Qu Qiuyan's mocking words.
The carriage moved slowly, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very depressing. Although Qu Qiuyan was very angry, she didn't know what to say for a moment when she saw that Qu Xuexin didn't say anything no matter what she said. She looked at Qu Moying again, and endured it. Qu Qiuyan didn't say anything after all. Her brother had said that she shouldn't provoke Qu Moying unless it was necessary.
For unknown reasons, her father and grandmother became nicer to the blind girl, and her mother couldn't support her. Qu Qiuyan felt that she should not touch Qu Moying for the time being. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway. Once she entered Prince Jing's Mansion, she would definitely make things good for Qu Moying.
When the time comes, it will be easy to do whatever you want to her.
Last night, Prince Jing finally showed some interest in her and even sent her back to his house. He then went to talk to his father for a while before leaving. This showed that Prince Jing still cared about her. As for what he said to his father, in Qu Qiuyan's understanding, it was of course about the two of them getting married.
With these, Qu Qiuyan is very confident.
She glanced at the two sisters sitting there with disdain, and felt that even if she sat with them, she would be unlucky and look unlucky.
There was no more conversation along the way. The three of them sat in the carriage, each with their own thoughts, in silence.
When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the maids got off the carriage at the back and came over one by one to help their daughters out. The three of them went to the front of the East Palace together.
He handed over the invitation from Qu Mansion.
The people from the East Palace must have also heard the news. They glanced at them and said coldly, "Wait."
After saying this, he slowly went in to report.
After waiting for a long time, a maid came out and looked them over before saying, "Miss Qu, please follow me in!"
After saying that, they turned around and walked inside. Qu Xuexin led the way, followed by Qu Qiuyan, and Qu Moying walked at the end. The three of them, along with their maids, followed the old woman and walked inside together.
At this point, no one knew what to say, even Qu Qiuyan, who was always strong, didn't dare to speak loudly.
They followed the old woman all the way in, turned a few corners, and entered Ji Youran's yard. Just as they entered the door, they suddenly saw someone coming out from inside. It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The three of them hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.
Pei Luoan had just come out of Ji Youran's house and stopped when he saw the three sisters coming towards him. "No need to be polite!"
The three men stood up one by one, lowered their heads and waited there quietly, waiting for the prince to come over.
Pei Luoan's gaze shifted from Qu Xuexin to Qu Qiuyan, and finally to Qu Moying, and then he looked at Qu Moying deeply.
He naturally knew that Qu Moying was favored by Prince Yun and would enter Prince Yun's mansion. Of course, this so-called favor was just a coincidence. If Prince Yun really favored Qu Moying, it would be a joke.
But would such a weak woman really survive if she entered the Prince of Yun's Mansion? Pei Luoan thought it was a joke.
A man like Pei Yuanjun is so ferocious that even a man would have to stay away from him, let alone such a delicate woman.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take another look, but it was just one more look. His gaze swept back to Qu Xuexin. This person was said to be the cause of yesterday's accident. King Jing had mentioned it once before. Pei Luoan just casually said it to Ji Youran. As for what happened next, it was up to Ji Youran. It was not a big deal anyway.
Ji Youran was pushed and fell, which was also a disgrace to her. Even if King Jing said so, she still had to make a fuss, otherwise others would say that she was afraid of King Jing.
His eyes seemed to sweep over Qu Xuexin unintentionally. His feet had already been raised, but he suddenly stopped, looked at Qu Xuexin with burning eyes, turned in another direction, and came towards Qu Xuexin.
He stopped only when he reached Qu Xuexin.
Qu Xuexin was so nervous that her whole body was almost stiff. She just felt that the Crown Prince was looking at her, and now he was walking towards her. What did this mean? Could it be that he had taken a fancy to her? She was so happy that she didn't know what to do for a moment. She stood stiffly and motionlessly looking at the pair of thin-soled boots with gold embroidery in front of her.
"Where did you get this... sachet?" The prince's gentle voice was in my ears, warming my heart.
"Yes... I embroidered it myself." Qu Xuexin was so nervous that she couldn't hear what she said clearly. At this moment, she couldn't remember what she had embroidered. In the past, she would embroider some sachets. Although she didn't know which one it was now, it must have been embroidered by herself.
But which one did she hang today? She couldn't remember, and it was inconvenient for her to turn her head to take a closer look. She only vaguely saw a hint of bright color.
What happened when I came here today...
