"Your Highness, this Fourth Miss Qu..." Liu Jingyu bit her lip and glanced at Pei Luoan. Her eyes happened to meet Pei Luoan's and she lowered her head shyly for a moment.
"How is Miss Qu Si?" Pei Luoan asked.
"Miss Qu Si seems to be no simple lady either. Jing Yu has talked to both of them and feels that Miss Qu Si is much more powerful than Miss Qu San. Although she looks weak, she is actually quite scheming."
Liu Jingyu said helplessly, "When Jingyu arrived at the Qu Mansion... I saw that Miss Qu Si didn't seem to respect Miss Qu San very much. But it may be that Jingyu was wrong. After all, it was also Jingyu's first time to the Qu Mansion."
Liu Jingyu's words were very skillful. She turned her words around and made them flawless. There was no hint of slandering Qu Moying from her. She even maintained a tolerant attitude towards the obviously bad Third Miss Qu.
Such behavior and attitude seem aggrieved, yet generous and decent, and she has the demeanor of a future princess.
Pei Luoan looked at Liu Jingyu with unclear eyes for a few times and said nothing.
Liu Jingyu did not speak again, and the hall fell silent. After a long while, Pei Luoan finally said, "Miss Qu Si is the Crown Princess's cousin, and one of the few relatives the Crown Princess has in this world."
"Yes, Your Highness, Jingyu understands. Jingyu will pay attention to Miss Qu Si in the future." Liu Jingyu said softly.
Seeing her act like this, Pei Luoan's eyes flashed with a smile, and his expression became gentler: "What happened in the Duke of Qi's Mansion is not your fault. I asked, it was the Third Miss Qu who started it. It's not a blessing for my second brother to bring such a woman into the Prince Jing's Mansion, but I can't control this matter, so let him be."
She was just a concubine of low rank, so Pei Luoan naturally didn't care. Hearing that this Third Miss Qu was really not a good person, he would rather have more such people in Pei Yusheng's mansion.
The more messy Pei Yusheng's backyard is, the better it is for him.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for understanding Jingyu." Liu Jingyu's tears fell, and she bit her lips hard, her voice a little sobbing, and she was deeply moved by Pei Luoan's magnanimity, "Jingyu is really not familiar with the Yongning Marquis's son. He used to be Miss Qu's husband, and later he cancelled his marriage with Miss Qu. No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong."
The matter of the sachet in Xu Lipeng's hand might be hidden from others, but not from the prince, so Liu Jingyu simply revealed the matter himself.
"I used to think Xu Lipeng was a good guy, but now it seems that I was wrong about him, and the Crown Princess also misjudged him." Pei Luoan sighed, his gaze fell on a cluster of beauty burnt apples outside the window, his eyes full of contemplation, the last sentence of his voice was almost connected with the sigh, if you didn't listen carefully, you probably wouldn't be able to hear it.
Liu Jingyu's hands tightly grasped the handkerchief, and her expression still looked tender, but her eyes were full of mockery as she lowered her head. Ji Hanyue was dead, but she still appeared from time to time, so what? Didn't Ji Hanyue die in the end? Wasn't the position of Crown Princess still hers
He's just a dead ghost, dead is dead. Now there are actually some cousins crawling out to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to look after them. Don't they even consider whether they have the nerve to do so
When she raised her head again, her face was already gentle, and she said in a delicate voice: "Since the Crown Princess thinks that Master Xu is a good person, he must have some good qualities. Jingyu has always admired the Crown Princess. Among all the young ladies from noble families in the capital, the Crown Princess is the only one who is truly both talented and beautiful."
Perloan
No one spoke, and there was a sense of dullness in the air. Liu Jingyu was not in a hurry either, but just looked at the prince quietly, with a shy look and some admiration on her face.
Pei Luoan finally came back to his senses and glanced at Liu Jingyu. "Are you sure the sachet in Xu Lipeng's hand was given by Miss Qu San?"
"This... Jingyu really doesn't know. I don't know if it was Miss Qu San or someone else who made a move after Jingyu left." Liu Jingyu lowered her head and bit her lip. Her smile was aggrieved and pitiful, just like the feeling she gave people before.
"You should be more careful in the future. It's better to avoid people like Miss Qu San. If you saw it at that time, stop it immediately. You will have nothing to do with it next." Pei Luoan frowned slightly, "Now that things have come to this point, let's stop here!"
"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Jingyu nodded and said softly.
This kind of expression is the most pleasing to men. Even though she has suffered such a great injustice, she still does not blame the other party. She even politely expresses that it is okay to be wronged. She just needs to consider the overall situation and the prince's affairs. As long as the prince is not implicated, it doesn't matter what she does.
She is dignified and decent, and she is devoted to Pei Luoan, considerate, careful and gentle, and she admires Pei Luoan. In addition, Liu Jingyu herself is very beautiful, so she is a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty.
How could the prince not take her to heart
Compared to the dead Ji Hanyue, her attitude is much better than Ji Hanyue's.
Liu Jingyu concluded that the prince would definitely think highly of him.
Pei Luoan waved his hand and said, "Go and talk to the Queen Mother first. I want to be alone."
"Your Highness..." Liu Jingyu said in a tender voice, looking up in surprise. Shouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince keep her here and comfort her with soft and gentle words at this time
"You go down!" Pei Luoan frowned.
Seeing that he seemed to be really troubled by something, Liu Jingyu didn't dare to stay any longer. He hurriedly bowed to Pei Luoan and obediently returned to the main hall with his maid.
Pei Luoan looked at her graceful back as she walked away, reached out and pressed his forehead, and inexplicably thought of Ji Youran. It could be said that everything Liu Jingyu was doing now, Ji Youran had done before.
It’s just that Liu Jingyu’s status is much higher than Ji Youran, and the benefits of marrying her are much greater than Ji Youran.
But two people of the same type, doing similar things, too many similarities made him think of some bad things, and he didn't even have the mood to comfort Liu Jingyu.
He understood what his mother meant just now, which was to ask him to find out clearly and then comfort Liu Jingyu with a few words, but he suddenly felt a little restless.
Liu Jingyu has a good background, and there are indeed many benefits to marrying her, but is it true that Liu Jingyu has nothing going on with Xu Lipeng
The words on the sachet clearly showed Liu Jingyu's "Jingyu". This sachet had just appeared in front of his desk.
This was not something that made Pei Luoan very angry. What he hated most was this kind of betrayal. It was obviously his person, but she was flirting with other men. However, when he saw it this time, he was very calm.
He calmly felt that it was impossible for Liu Jingyu to fall in love with Xu Lipeng. He calmly thought about it and felt that there must be a reason for this. Now he listened to Liu Jingyu's explanation calmly and felt that it made sense. As for some minor details that were inconsistent, it was nothing more than a woman's jealousy.
However, Liu Jingyu was actually jealous of the fourth young lady of the Qu Mansion.
It surprised him a little.
Both Liu Jingyu and this Fourth Miss Qu reminded him of Ji Hanyue, and for a moment he couldn't help feeling a little restless.
As for Liu Jingyu, he was not very satisfied with what he did this time. It seemed that he still needed to be properly disciplined by his mother. His Crown Princess had to be magnanimous. Why did she inexplicably create a grudge with the fourth young lady of the Qu Mansion? I heard that Uncle Wang was on his way to Beijing.
Uncle Wang is a protective person. After knowing this, he might even get angry!
A team of horse-drawn carriages were rushing towards the capital. The large black carriages had walls on the outside, similar to ordinary large carriages, but in fact they were lined with iron plates inside. Even if someone wanted to harm the people in the carriages, it would be difficult to do so. There were three such carriages.
Pei Yuanjun was on the last carriage, and the three carriages moved forward together to create confusion. No one could be sure in which carriage the Prince of Yun was in. Along the way, they had encountered two groups of assassins, but no matter which group it was, they all died at the hands of Pei Yuanjun's guards in the end.
The carriage was covered with thick blankets. Pei Yuanjun was leaning on the couch inside. His sleepy eyes looked as if he was half asleep, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face. The noble and lazy air that emanated from his bones made people feel that he was of noble status as soon as they saw him.
"Your Highness, this is the news." Ji Hai said.
"Since she is willing to follow me to the capital, let her follow. I am very busy and do not have the time to help Liu Xiangshan take care of his daughter again and again." Pei Yuanjun said lazily, squinting his sleepy eyes, with no expression of emotion visible.
"But the emperor meant..." Ji Hai said carefully, glancing at his master.
The latter Miss Liu came to Beijing at the order of the Emperor, saying that the Empress did not see her when she came to Beijing before, so this time she must go to Beijing to see her.
The implication of this was to summon Miss Liu to the capital, but Ji Hai believed that Miss Liu also understood the purpose of this visit. It was obvious that she had taken a fancy to her master and wanted him to marry her.
"The emperor means what the emperor means, but the emperor also agreed to let me make the decision when I get married." Pei Yuanjun said with a smile, and the corners of his handsome lips curled up, "Tell me, what's going on in the capital?"
Ji Hai immediately understood: "I heard that something happened in the capital. It's about Miss Qu Si. It seems to be related to the daughter of Minister Liu, the future Crown Princess, Lady Jingyu."
"How is the future Crown Princess?" Pei Yuanjun asked in a good mood.
"It seems that this Lady Jingyu and the third lady of the Qu Mansion conspired to harm the fourth lady, but something unexpected happened in the end, and then the third lady who made trouble became the concubine of King Jing." Ji Hai picked out some simple and clear things to say.
"Lord of Jingyu County?" Pei Yuanjun repeated lazily.
"Yes, it's County Lord Jingyu. I heard that the Empress and the Crown Prince summoned her to the palace to question her about this matter." They also have people in the palace. "She went to apologize to the Qu family before. Some people in the capital said that County Lord Jingyu was very generous and decent, and the most dignified and polite. It was clearly the Qu family's fault, but she still went to apologize!"
"Gentle, decent, dignified and polite?" Pei Yuanjun smiled, with a dark and sinister look in his eyes, but this sinister look did not damage his nobleness, but made his white and almost transparent skin look a bit evil and handsome, and his lips were bright and colorful...
Ji Hai was startled and quickly stepped back, lowering his head, not daring to breathe!
