Pei Yuanjun just looked at Qu Moying like this, and then his expression softened slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his carved face.
The slender fingers gently stroked Qu Moying's cherry lips again, and then the hand fell.
The other hand also fell from her body, and the majestic and bloodthirsty aura faded away, and he was still the noble Prince of Yun.
"Princess Hengyang is very much favored by the Empress Dowager and is very good at pleasing her. Therefore, the Empress Dowager sometimes almost obeys her every word. Except for the fact that she had to become a nun, the Empress Dowager treats her almost like her own daughter." Pei Yuanjun said.
The tone of voice was calm, without any emotion in it.
Qu Moying frowned and calmed the trembling in her heart. Her brain, which had just stopped, began to work slowly. She intuitively felt that there seemed to be more to Pei Yuanjun's words. She even heard some disrespect for the Princess Hengyang, not only the Princess Hengyang, but also the Queen Mother.
“…” I didn’t know what to say for a moment, so I opened my mouth and closed it again.
Pei Yuanjun's words sounded too profound, but she didn't understand them, and anything she said at this time might be wrong.
"When I was young, I had an average relationship with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother didn't like me." Pei Yuanjun smiled, with a hint of sarcasm on his handsome lips, "Of course, I'm not afraid of her."
Being able to say so openly that he doesn't like the Empress Dowager, of course he is not afraid of her. He was not afraid of her when she was alive, let alone after her death. Qu Moying couldn't help but express his shock at the audacity of the Prince of Yun. He probably didn't know fear when he was young, otherwise he would not have said such words.
"So, this place belongs to me now. If you like, you can come and sit here. It's very quiet. If you don't like it, you don't have to come." Pei Yuanjun suddenly ended the topic.
The words ended too quickly. Qu Moying raised her watery eyes and subconsciously looked at Pei Yuanjun. She originally thought that Pei Yuanjun was going to say something she didn't know.
"The daughter of the General who assists the country has come to the capital. If you meet her, be careful." Pei Yuanjun said.
So, this is a warning to myself
Qu Moying didn't understand Pei Yuanjun's meaning for a moment, and just nodded subconsciously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know my status and position, and I won't offend Miss Liu."
"It's not an offense! She is not worthy. I came here specifically to tell you that if she offends you, just fight back, but be careful." Pei Yuanjun turned his head and looked at her with a smile.
Qu Moying said cautiously: "Your Highness, Miss Liu wouldn't do this, right?"
She did not think that she had any direct conflict with this Miss Liu. Even if this Miss Liu was going to marry into the Prince of Yun's Mansion and become the Prince of Yun's principal wife in the future, she should not show any ill will towards her at this time. Before everything was clear, even if this Miss Liu had fangs, she had to hide them first.
"She will do that." Pei Yuanjun said.
"Your Highness means..." Qu Moying asked again tentatively, a hint of doubt in her watery eyes, and her clear eyes contained a hint of charm that she herself was not aware of.
Pei Yuanjun suddenly thought that the veil was not bad.
"What I mean is that you should not be bullied. My person, even if she is just a concubine, cannot be bullied." Pei Yuanjun snorted coldly, raising his sleepy eyes in a warning with some displeasure.
So he's afraid that he'll weaken his reputation
Qu Moying nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Highness."
Since this Miss Liu
Since she hasn't officially become the Princess of Yun County yet, she doesn't need to give in to her too much. If she keeps suppressing her, she can fight back.
Qu Moying felt that this was what Pei Yuanjun meant. Of course, if the identity of this Miss Liu was clear, then he would naturally need to give in.
"I'm glad you understand!" Pei Yuanjun looked at her deeply, smiled happily, and reached out to touch her hair. "If you have nothing else, just rest here for a while. I have something else to do and I have to go back first."
"Your Highness, please take care!" Qu Moying nodded. This place was indeed nice. She originally wanted to find a place to rest, and this was an excellent place. Although this was Pei Yuanjun's place, Pei Luoan would not come here casually. It was very quiet and she was not afraid of meeting Pei Yuanjun.
Pei Yuanjun nodded, narrowed his eyes and looked down at Qu Moying. Suddenly, the corners of his thin lips curled up slightly. He stretched out his hands to hold her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. Qu Moying's slender body was pressed tightly in his arms, so tightly that Qu Moying could not tell what Pei Yuanjun meant for a moment.
The next moment, his body was pushed away, and Pei Yuanjun turned and left with a calm expression.
As he left, the guards waiting below also followed him.
"Miss, there are still people left by the prince nearby, so you can rest here with peace of mind." Yu Dong saw that her eyes were always on the guards, and thought that she was worried that everyone would leave and someone would come to disturb her, so he stepped forward and whispered to Qu Moying.
Qu Moying nodded, his eyes fell on Pei Yuanjun's receding back, revealing a thoughtful smile, and then the smile faded and turned into a hint of bitterness.
There are some things that she doesn't dare to think too much about. She was wrong in her last life, and she won't make the same mistake again in this life.
Qu Moying rested in the attic for about an hour before leaving the bamboo forest. He did not meet anyone along the way. After he left the pine forest beside the bamboo forest, he turned to the main road of Qingyun Temple and returned to the main hall. However, when he was some distance away from the main hall, he saw Wu Ma.
Wu Ma also saw them and came over immediately with surprise: "Fourth Miss, the Madam is looking for you!"
"Is grandma in there now?" Qu Moying pointed to the side hall of the main hall in front.
"The people from the Ji Mansion have gone back, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also left for something. The Madam has received His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's instructions and is waiting there alone. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants you to help with the ceremony, and he will be back soon." said Wu Ma.
Pei Luoan also left? Qu Moying was stunned for a moment. She had not expected this. Looking at Pei Luoan's expression, he must have made a big show this time to let the world see his deep affection. Why did he stop acting after just a while
"Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say before that he would protect the Crown Princess?" Yu Dong asked.
Qu Moying turned and walked towards the side hall, with Wu Ma and Yu Dong following closely.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there was an important matter in the palace, and the Emperor summoned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace. He cannot take care of things here for the time being. Concubine Ji was not feeling well and almost fainted just now, so she went back early." Nanny Wu said as she walked.
Qu Moying's heart moved: "When did he leave?"
"It took only about an hour. It looks like someone from the palace was sent to deliver the message." said Wu Ma.
Qu Moying nodded. This matter should be related to Pei Yuanjun. That was the time when Pei Yuanjun left the Bamboo Forest Attic.
Madam Qu was waiting in the side hall. When she saw Qu Moying coming, she hurriedly pulled Qu Moying, who was about to bow, to sit down, with a worried look on her face.
After pulling Qu Moying to sit down, he waved his hand.
All the other maids and old women retreated, leaving only Wu Ma and Yu Dong.
It seems like I have something to say to Qu Moying.
"Ying girl, isn't this wrong?" Madam Qu said in a low voice after seeing everyone else leave.
"What did grandma find out?" Qu Moying asked softly.
"This matter is clearly the business of the Eastern Palace. Even if it is not the Eastern Palace, it is the business of the Ling Anbo Mansion. But why are they all leaving now and pushing this matter onto us? Even if you are the cousin of the Crown Princess, you are only a little girl. How can you be competent to preside over such a matter? You have no ability and no status!"
Mrs. Qu couldn't understand why this matter fell upon her granddaughter.
Not only did the people from the Ling Anbo Mansion leave one by one, but now even the people from the Eastern Palace have left. What should be done with the Crown Princess's memorial ceremony
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Madam Qu and Qu Moying to look after her granddaughter for a while. Madam Qu did not dare to refuse, but she actually felt it was inappropriate. No matter how she looked at it, her granddaughter did not seem to be in the right place.
"Grandma, there might really be something going on between the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion and Concubine Ji of the Eastern Palace." Qu Moying comforted the old lady. She naturally guessed some things. Both Xiao and Ji Youran would be in trouble this time.
"Before, the lady of the Ling Anbo Mansion suddenly got up and left after hearing what an East Palace guard said. She also took away Madam Duan and Madam Xiao from her mansion. I saw that Madam Xiao was not right at the time. She almost fell down when she walked, and her legs were weak. Something must have happened. Then Concubine Ji also left inexplicably. I didn't see her. Finally, there was the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Ying girl, what do you think is going on here?"
Mrs. Qu was still worried.
"Grandma, it's okay. Even if something happens, it's the business of the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion and the Eastern Palace. We're just going to look after it. Don't worry, grandma, I will take care of my cousin's ceremony." Qu Moying took the lady's hand and said with a smile.
The lady looked genuinely frightened, her fingers were cold.
"That's good, that's good!" Madam Qu sighed and pushed Qu Moying. "Then go to the main hall and take care of it. If there's anything you don't understand, send someone to tell me. I'll be waiting for you here."
Seeing the worry on the lady's face, Qu Moying knew that she was really worried about him, and was touched: "Don't worry, grandma, everything will be fine. I'll go over and take a look. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll come and ask you."
Qu Moying stood up.
"Okay, you go first." Seeing her granddaughter's calm look, Mrs. Qu smiled self-deprecatingly. As expected, the older she gets, the more things she thinks about and the more she worries about things. At this moment, she is not as calm as her granddaughter, a girl who has never experienced anything.
Qu Moying nodded, patted Madam Qu's hand soothingly, and turned to walk towards the main hall.
The people from the East Palace were still in the hall. One of the leading maids saw Qu Moying coming over and stepped forward to greet her with a smile, "Fourth Miss Qu, our Crown Prince has gone to the palace for something. Please take care of him, Fourth Miss Qu."
"Okay, I will!" Qu Moying nodded, took the three incense sticks handed to him by Yudong, walked to the spirit tablet in the middle and stood still. Through the curling smoke, he looked at the spirit tablet in the middle, his eyes under the veil were as dark as water.
In fact, Qu Moying didn't need to worry about what happened next. The people in the Eastern Palace had their own arrangements, and the time for each incense-burning ceremony was arranged. Qu Moying only needed to take the lead in burning incense, sit down to rest after the incense-burning ceremony, and then wait for the next incense-burning ceremony.
At this moment, three Taoist nuns were stopped at the entrance of the main hall...
