"Thank you, Your Highness. I dare not trouble you!" After being stunned for a moment, Qu Moying quickly reacted and lowered his head respectfully, but with a bit of coldness in his tone.
"Uncle Wang happens to be in the palace." Pei Qingmin said another irrelevant question, his handsome eyes still looking at Qu Moying with scrutiny.
Qu Moying was increasingly confused about what the King of Wei was trying to do. He kept talking about this and that, and his words were completely irrelevant.
"Your Highness, Concubine Qu is still waiting..." Qu Moying reminded him secretly. If she didn't understand what he said, she would not respond to him, but would wait and see how the prince continued.
"Move the sedan!" Seeing her like this, Pei Qingmin seemed to lose interest. He looked at her and said lightly.
Qu Moying stepped back to the side again.
The palace sedan started moving. Pei Qingmin looked at the slender figure standing aside again, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and tapped lightly on the sedan railing with his fingers.
If this Miss Qu Si has always had this eye disease, it is actually not bad. At least she looks much more pleasing to the eye than those ladies who are dressed up in fancy clothes. Seeing that she deliberately stepped back, was she trying to avoid suspicion with me
I said before that Uncle Wang was interested in her, but such a long time has passed and there has been no news from Uncle Wang. Could it be that Uncle Wang thinks she is not satisfactory and simply denies it
If this is the case, it's a pitiful thing. The earliest marriage was canceled, and Ruyi ran into Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang also left a message, but it has been shelved like this, and it seems that this matter is going to fail.
But it deserved to fail, because this Fourth Miss Qu was so greedy and vain that she only wanted to marry a prince!
Pei Qingmin closed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth slightly. If it weren't for her personality, he would be willing to marry her. After all, his father wouldn't care much about what the princess in his own mansion was like.
As for my mother, it doesn’t really matter who I marry or not, as long as I want it, my mother won’t bother me!
It’s just that this personality is really unpleasant!
He would not go against his mother's wishes because of such a woman...
Qu Moying didn't know that the Prince of Wei who had just passed by had made such a conclusion about her, but even if she knew, she wouldn't feel anything. What the Prince of Wei thought of her had nothing to do with her, and she didn't need to gain any favor in front of the Prince of Wei, so it didn't matter whether it was good or bad.
Originally, she should have kept her distance from the King of Wei. The feeling given to her by the King of Wei was not that of a weak and sickly person that she would show in front of others.
When Concubine Qu heard that Qu Moying was coming, she smiled and let her in.
After paying her respects to Concubine Qu, Qu Moying pleaded for Qu Mingcheng according to what Qu Zhizhen had said.
Concubine Qu listened to what she said quietly, put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at Qu Moying kindly: "I'm afraid your second brother doesn't really treat you as a sister, right?"
Concubine Qu had seen everything in the palace, and she had witnessed many such cases of open beating and killing. When she heard that the second son of the Qu family had gone to the He family to cause trouble, she realized that he wanted to use the He family to drag Qu Moying into trouble and ruin his reputation. It would be best if the He family could kill Qu Moying.
"Second brother is Madam's biological son. Madam has repeatedly made father angry, and second brother thought it was all my instigation. In fact, with my ability, if I could really convince father, he would not have been abandoned in the manor for so many years and could not come back until now." Qu Moying said generously.
These things cannot be hidden from anyone. As for the estrangement between Qu Mingcheng and her, Qu Moying did not want to hide it from Concubine Qu.
It was clearly expressed.
"Then why do you still want to save your second brother?" Concubine Qu asked in surprise.
"My father meant that I should ask the Queen Mother for help." Qu Moying lowered her eyes and lowered her head, pursing her cherry lips slightly, with a bit of grievance and helplessness!
Concubine Qu looked at Nanny Yan, who was standing aside, and she nodded.
"Good child, sit down first!" Concubine Qu understood that what Qu Moying said was true, and took Qu Moying's tender little hand and asked her to sit down next to her.
Then he said warmly, "You should go and tell your father about this matter. I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. On the one hand, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. On the other hand, the Prince of Yun is not someone that ordinary people can persuade. I have no power in the palace now. I only rely on the emperor's respect for the late emperor. How can I ask the Prince of Yun to release the people? If your father is willing, he can go and ask for it himself. After all, this matter has nothing to do with the Qu Mansion!"
"Thank you, Queen Dowager." Qu Moying pondered for a moment and thanked softly.
If I said this, Qu Zhizhen would not listen, but since it was the concubine who said it, Qu Zhizhen had to listen even if he didn't want to.
The same words, spoken by different people, have completely different effects.
Originally, she came here on a mission, and leaving once was a way of giving an explanation to Qu Zhizhen. As for the result, it was also expected.
"Good boy, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Concubine Qu sighed, "Come in more often when you have nothing to do in the future. I'll keep you here. Whenever you come in, you can say that I summoned you."
Concubine Qu pointed at Nanny Yan.
With Nanny Yan outside, it is indeed much easier to enter the palace.
"Yes!" Qu Moying said gratefully.
"I will talk to your grandmother about your marriage this time. How can you just pick someone like this? If it weren't for the accident in the He Mansion, you would have been ruined." Concubine Qu said again.
Qu Moying bit her lip. She didn't know how to respond to this, so she could only lower her head, looking shy, tugging at the handkerchief in her hand, and nodded softly.
Marriage was not something she had considered in the first place.
Concubine Qu asked her about things in the mansion again. Feeling a little tired, she asked Qu Moying to take a walk while she rested for a while!
Nanny Yan helped Concubine Qu go in to rest, and Qu Moying, Yu Dong and a palace maid walked out of the palace.
I looked around and didn't know where to go for a moment!
"Miss Qu Si, the Imperial Garden is over there. Would you like me to lead the way?" The palace maid asked with a smile, pointing to a wide road.
Qu Moying shook his head: "Thank you, I'll just walk around here, no need to lead the way."
The palace maid left, and Qu Moying walked forward casually with Yu Dong.
The scenery was very nice along the way, but it was a bit hot under the scorching sun. Yu Dong looked around and pointed to a loft in front and said, "Miss, let's go sit there. It should be windy over there, and it's also out of the sun. It's a good place to rest!"
Qu Moying nodded and followed Yu Dong.
The stairs are outside. You must go up the stairs first to go up the wooden stairs, and then you will reach the attic on the upper floor. It is very quiet inside the attic. There is a light curtain next to the balcony to block the sunlight. When the wind blows over, it brings a cool feeling. It is much cooler than walking under the scorching sun just now.
There were pastries and a pot of tea on the table. The pastries were very fragrant. I could smell them as soon as I walked up. It was obvious that they had just been delivered, so the smell could be smelled from so far away.
Yu Dong waited for Qu Moying to sit down at the table, and then picked up the teapot.
He poured a glass for Qu Moying and then stepped aside.
Qu Moying took a sip and found the tea to be just the right color and tasted good. It was indeed something from the palace, just different from the tea used to entertain guests outside.
Leaning against the window sill, looking at the scenery outside, quietly waiting for someone to come.
The scenery outside was nice, but what attracted her most was a small pot of water lilies by the window. It was small but exquisite, and even the pot looked beautiful.
Qu Moying couldn't help but stand up, carefully took the water lily in the small pot from the window sill, and placed it on the table. Looking at the lush leaves inside and the lotus on it, she liked it more and more. She had never seen such a small water lily, and so beautiful.
"This is the water lily sent from Northern Xinjiang. It is said that the flowers they bloom are unique. They sent a few jars of it, but I don't think they are very good, so I just put them here. If you like them, I'll give them to you." She was looking at them carefully when she heard a teasing voice in her ears.
The presence of the person next to him was particularly strong. Even though Qu Moying could not see his figure, she could only hear his voice. Her body stiffened for a moment. Then she turned around and saw the handsome Prince of Yun sitting lazily on the large chair behind her. She didn't even know when he came.
The royal robe was dark purple, with iris patterns embroidered in gold thread. Although there were not many irises, they gave the dark purple robe a sense of richness and splendor.
This prince really likes irises. Qu Moying saw different iris embroidery patterns on this prince’s body, some were embroidered on the collar, some were embroidered on the lapels. Different places represented different feelings. This bright gold color indicated his noble and extraordinary status, right
He supported his head with his hands, his posture was very relaxed and a bit lazy, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips. However, one dared not look directly at his eyes, as they revealed an indescribable and inexplicable chilliness that made people inexplicably want to lower their heads, not daring to look at his expression carefully.
Even though this Prince of Yun has lost his former cold and murderous aura, few people still dare to look him in the face!
Qu Moying sighed slightly in his heart, it was a pity for this handsome man to lose his jade-like beauty. Even a woman would feel jealous of such a beauty!
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Qu Moying turned around and bowed to Pei Yuanjun. Since she was going to come in by herself, it was reasonable for her to see Pei Yuanjun. Moreover, Yu Dong took the cakes openly just now, which showed that she knew that these cakes were originally prepared for her.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Pei Yuanjun looked her up and down for a few times, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"It is indeed very beautiful." Qu Moying nodded and said frankly, turning her eyes to the water lilies on the side. She had never seen such lotus flowers before.
"If you like it, just take it!" Pei Yuanjun waved his hand and said leisurely.
"This... is not a good idea. If someone sees this, they might say something bad to His Majesty." Qu Moying hesitated and refused, but he looked at the water lily in the vat with a lingering look, which showed that he really liked it.
This vat of water lilies was a tribute from the Northern Frontier, so there probably wouldn't be many of them. If he took it out of the palace himself, who knows what would happen if someone saw it. Qu Moying didn't like to be high-profile, and even less wanted to attract attention.
"What I brought into the palace, I will naturally take out of the palace. When you return home, someone will naturally deliver it to your house. Just accept it!"
Pei Yuanjun looked at him playfully for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled. He had restrained some of his dark and bloodthirsty aura, and his eyes looked bright and lively, and his brows were charming.
