"Eunuch Ji Hai, this is the osmanthus cake I made for the prince. Please deliver it to the prince." At the bottom of the stairs, Liu Lanxin brought two maids and said softly to Ji Hai who was walking down.
Passersby who recognized Miss Liu on the road saluted her with great respect. They heard that Miss Liu was injured while fighting the enemy, which increased their respect for her. Not every lady can follow her father to be stationed on the border, and not every lady can go to the battlefield.
"Ms. Liu, thank you for always bothering me to bring some pastries over. It's really a bother." Ji Hai smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He took a few quick steps and came over to greet her.
"It's not that I'm taking the trouble, I'm just worried that the prince might not be used to it. Although my cooking is not good, it's the taste of the capital." Liu Lanxin smiled gently.
Her veil was very narrow and short, just enough to block out the light, revealing a beautiful face with clear lines and a heroic look.
"Miss Liu is so polite. I would like to thank you on behalf of our prince." Ji Hai stepped forward to take the food basket from the maid. The maid glanced at her mistress and moved her hand back.
Ji Hai's hand was stretched out awkwardly.
"Your Highness, are you not free today again?" Liu Lanxin asked again, as if she didn't notice Ji Hai's awkward hand stretched out.
"The prince is reviewing military intelligence and it is not convenient to meet guests at this time. Please forgive me, Miss Liu." Ji Hai laughed and slowly withdrew his hand, but the smile on his face did not change, and he was still very friendly, as if it was someone else who was embarrassed just now. As long as he was not embarrassed, other people's embarrassment had nothing to do with him.
"Even if the military situation is urgent, Your Highness must take care of his own health. I also brought some medicinal wine soaked with tonic herbs. I wonder if I can give it to Your Highness directly when I see him?" Liu Lanxin asked with a smile. When she came here, she was dressed up carefully. Even with a veil on her eyes, she had an excellent charm in her frowns and smiles.
She was wearing a loose dress and dancing in the wind. It was already autumn and it was a little cooler on this side of the border. It was rare to see people wearing such loose and fluttering clothes on the street. Liu Lanxin looked like a beautiful woman like jade, graceful and elegant, as if she was walking in the wind.
"This... I'm afraid it won't work." Ji Hai shook his head in embarrassment.
Liu Lanxin's face darkened. This was the few times she had been rejected, but she was unwilling to accept it. In terms of appearance, although she was not unparalleled in the world, she was still not comparable to ordinary ladies. Moreover, she felt that she was braver than those girls. In addition, she was her father's only legitimate daughter. From this point of view, other women could never compare to her.
But why couldn’t Prince Yun see it
A fake one could still make King Jing so infatuated with her and he wrote to her again and again to express his feelings. But when she, the real one, stood in front of the Prince of Yun in a lively and beautiful manner, he turned a blind eye to her and even treated her so coldly. Liu Lanxin was sad and unwilling.
Did she only want to marry King Jing as his concubine
Compared to Prince Jing who was far away in the capital, she admired Prince Yun more and was more willing to become the Princess of Yun.
"Then when is the prince free?" Liu Lanxin asked softly, controlling her displeasure. She knew clearly that she did not have much confidence in front of the Prince of Yun.
"The prince wants to see the general to discuss something. If Miss Liu is free,
You can come and discuss matters with the general." Ji Hai said with a smile.
The last time I met the Prince of Yun was when I followed my father here, but because my father was there, there were some things I couldn’t say or ask. When we left, the two of us didn’t even say a few words. Am I going to follow my father here again this time
But when she thought about it, apart from coming here with her father, she seemed to have no chance to meet Prince Yun at all. Thinking of this, Liu Lanxin frowned tightly, and her face looked a little more fierce.
But there is no way!
She nodded to the maid beside her, who took two steps forward and handed the food basket in her hand to Ji Hai. A maid behind her also picked up one and placed them in front of Ji Hai.
Ji Hai took them one by one and thanked Liu Lanxin with a smile: "Thank you Miss Liu, thank you Miss Liu, our prince is in for a treat again this time."
"You're welcome. If there's anything your Highness is not used to, please let me know. I'll always be able to find a way." Liu Lanxin said with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss Liu." Ji Hai put down the two food baskets and bowed his head again.
Liu Lanxin also nodded, turned around and left with the two maids. Along the way, people who saw the young lady coming made way for her.
Ji Hai let out a light sigh. This Miss Liu was really good at building up momentum for herself. She had attributed an originally unexpected event to her credit. And it seemed that the people in the border area believed her very much.
However, even if this is the case, so what? My master's personality is not one that can be forced. Otherwise, the Prince of Yun's Mansion would not have been without the master and his wife for so many years.
Ji Hai sighed once again, fate, this kind of thing is really something you can only encounter but not seek.
Some people try their best and try every possible means, but get nothing in the end, while others don't spend any effort at all and get the best in the end.
Of course, there is another important point, don’t treat others as fools, especially when this person is your master, then you may be worried about his life, your master has never been a person who sympathizes with women...
"Miss, it is said that what happened last night was done by the housekeeper of Furong Pavilion. She was taken away by the second master's men, beaten half to death, and sold out. The whole family was sold out." When Yu Dong came in with lunch, he had already found out everything.
"Miss, you guessed right again. Qingmei is fine." Yuchun put down the teacup in her hand and asked curiously, "Miss, it's like this, why is Qingmei fine, but the housekeeper is in trouble? I heard that the housekeeper was the second wife's former confidant."
The housekeeper who manages Furong Pavilion was sent by Yu and was once Yu's confidant. Otherwise, she would not have been sent to Qu Qiuyan's side to take care of all her affairs.
Such a candidate must not only be capable but also loyal.
Now it is because of this childhood sweetheart that it is ruined, which is interesting. This childhood sweetheart is so important that Qu Mingcheng would rather clean out Yu’s people than not keep this childhood sweetheart.
"However, I also heard that Qingmei was also beaten yesterday and has been unable to get out of bed yet. I heard that the beating was not light." Yudong took out the lunch from the food basket and said as he took it out.
"What did Qingmei do wrong?" Qu Moying asked with a smile.
"It seems that Qingmei offended the Second Young Master or something. He was just very angry. As for the rest, I didn't find out. Now everyone is paying attention to the position of the manager of Hefu Courtyard. I heard that many maids are interested in this position. I wonder who the Third Young Master will choose in the end!"
Yudong Road.
She had just gone to the big kitchen, which was very lively, with many people talking about this matter. That position was also a good one among the managers.
"Is it messy?" Qu Moying raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, it's very chaotic. I heard that this position pays a lot of money and it is one of the best positions in the mansion. Many people envied this woman in the past, but they didn't expect that it would be gone suddenly and this position would be vacant." Yu Dong had just deliberately asked more in the kitchen and heard clearly what everyone was concerned about.
"Who do you think it might be in the kitchen?" Qu Moying seemed interested and asked with a smile.
"It's hard to say. There are many people who want this position, but it's not something that ordinary people can do. Some people also say that the Second Madam must give her approval. The previous person was also the Second Madam's person. Although the Second Madam is no longer in charge, the Third Miss is her biological daughter after all."
Yudong Road.
Qu Moying pursed her lips slightly, a hint of sadness flashed in her watery eyes, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing came to our house today. Is he in the front yard now?"
Qu Moying had already heard about King Jing's coming.
"Yes, the Second Master and the Second Young Master are accompanying His Royal Highness Prince Jing. They should be having lunch in the front yard. I don't know what happened to the Third Miss, but I think she may not have gone. I heard that she had a minor accident in her own yard. It seems that she twisted her foot. It doesn't sound too serious. She just needs to have a good rest."
Yu Dong said, "Could it be that Miss Third was so angry yesterday that she accidentally twisted it?"
Qu Moying's heart moved, and his eyes turned, "Go and invite Aunt Miao over."
Nanny Miao is the best at this kind of thing, and she is also an old woman, so it is more convenient for her to come and go than a maid.
Yu Dong went out for a while, and then Aunt Miao came in. "Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Madam Miao, go and tell King Jing that the third young lady has injured her foot very seriously and can't get up!" Qu Moying said.
"Miss, do you want Prince Jing to visit the Third Miss?" Nanny Miao immediately understood the meaning of Qu Moying's words.
"If Third Sister hadn't injured her foot, she would have definitely gone to see King Jing. So many things happened yesterday, some of which may have gone against Third Sister's wishes. We must give Third Sister a chance to speak." Qu Moying smiled slightly and said meaningfully.
Nanny Miao had been through a lot, and she immediately understood what Qu Moying meant after just a few glances. She clapped her hands and said, "Miss, I will go find the eunuchs around His Royal Highness Prince Jing right now. His Royal Highness Prince Jing brought quite a few eunuchs with him today, so it will be very convenient to pass on some messages."
Qu Moying nodded slightly. Qu Qiuyan's foot had been injured for a long time. When she left yesterday, it was still fine. Was this really an accident
So many things have happened, and it doesn't seem like a coincidence. Since Qu Qiuyan is so aggrieved, she helped push it, but it depends on whether Qu Mingcheng's final plan will fail...
Is this a disagreement between the brother and sister
