"Is Concubine Qu seriously ill?" Qu Moying raised her watery eyes, looked at Pei Qingmin through the veil, and asked.
"It's not very serious, but it's what father meant. We have to be careful in preparing them, especially the herbs mentioned in the medicinal materials. Of course, the older the better. All the older ones found in the capital should be brought into the palace." Pei Qingmin did not hide it from her.
"Could Concubine Qu use so much by herself?" Qu Moying was really surprised. The emperor cared too much about this low-key and almost non-existent Concubine Qu.
It is said that Concubine Qu has no children now, but it is only because of the favor of the Empress Dowager that she is able to stay in the palace to retire. Otherwise, those concubines without children would all go to Xinning Temple to practice, so why would she be allowed to stay in the palace
"It won't take that much, but my father's intention has come down, who would refuse? This matter is still in charge of me." Pei Qingmin said.
Qu Moying's eyes lit up: "Does the prince still have Scutellaria baicalensis?"
Since it was purchased, Qu Moying didn't believe that he had nothing in his hands.
"I do have some, but they need to be sent to the palace. Miss Qu Si, do you want to buy the stock I have?" Pei Qingmin asked with interest.
Qu Moying couldn't continue with this.
It seemed inappropriate to say that she meant this and to speak of such things as a matter of course, and to do so in front of a prince. If she did not mean this, then what she said just now was truly meaningless, and what was the point of coming here
"Your Highness, I'm just asking. If it's really inconvenient, forget it." Qu Moying smiled slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said vaguely.
She really just asked that. It didn't matter much if there was no answer. At most, she would get a few complaints from Aunt Miao.
"What's the purpose of Fourth Miss Qu coming here?" Pei Qingmin didn't say yes or no, and suddenly asked Qu Moying another question.
"It's used to regulate the body." Qu Moying said frankly. There was no need to hide this reason.
"Miss Qu Fourth, are you taking care of yourself?" Pei Qingmin looked Qu Moying up and down. He was indeed a good doctor after years of illness. It was obvious that this Miss Qu Fourth was a little underdeveloped. She must be more weak than the average woman and she really needed to take care of herself.
"Yes!" Qu Moying said.
"How about I treat Miss Qu Si for her?" Pei Qingmin said slowly.
Qu Moying was slightly stunned, not understanding what was wrong with the King of Wei today. This feeling was different from the past. Why wasn't he as annoyed as before
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I don't have any serious illness. I just need some treatment. I have a special prescription. I have been using it for many years and I always feel very good."
No matter what the reason was, Qu Moying felt that it should be refused.
Pei Qingmin was rejected, but did not insist. Instead, he smiled and said, "Qu Taifei is ill. Why doesn't Fourth Miss Qu go to the palace to see her? I heard that Qu Taifei is very kind to Fourth Miss Qu. In the past, Qu Taifei has never been so attentive to any other lady. Only Fourth Miss Qu made Qu Taifei break this rule."
"Breaking what exception?" Qu Moying asked, hearing some other scrutiny.
"Qu Taifei has always been low-key in the palace. Even this king rarely sees Qu Taifei. When there is an important event, Qu Taifei will not attend. The new concubines in the harem in recent years almost don't know that there is such a Qu Taifei. Only those who have been together for a long time will hear of this person.
The Queen Mother, but I have only heard of her, and she does not interact with other concubines on weekdays. "
Pei Qingmin's gaze fell on Qu Moying with some subtle scrutiny, and it could be seen that he was carefully checking Qu Moying's reaction.
Qu Moying just sat there quietly, the veil hiding her complexion and her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes. At the corners of her eyes, there was a faint hint of dark red, which was vague and revealed a hint of faint charm.
But it's still as peaceful as ever.
"Concubine Qu was so low-key, but because she summoned Fourth Miss Qu to the palace, more people knew about it. Fourth Miss Qu felt that this was a break in the rules. Now that Concubine Qu is sick, would Fourth Miss Qu feel guilty if she didn't go to see her?" Pei Qingmin continued.
"Of course I have to report to my grandmother and go to the palace to visit the patient!" Qu Moying thought for a while and said.
No matter what the reason was, Prince Pei Qingmin of Wei should go and see the Concubine Dowager.
It would be fine if she didn't know, but now that she knows but doesn't go to see it, it seems a bit cold and heartless. After all, what Concubine Qu shows to her now is all goodwill.
"I will teach you another lesson!" Seeing Qu Moying responded very obediently, Pei Qingmin tilted his head, and a gentle smile appeared on his pale handsome face.
"Your Highness, please speak." Qu Moying said calmly. She didn't think that the King of Wei really had nothing to do and would say such words to her.
The King of Wei's expression looked increasingly uglier. He didn't look like he wanted to talk to me about family matters for no reason.
But Qu Moying really couldn't figure out the specific reason. No matter how he looked at it, the King of Wei shouldn't be nice to him.
Ever since we first met, this King of Wei looked like a mess, and I didn't know how I had offended him that caused him to have so much prejudice against me.
Of course, Qu Moying had no intention of explaining. Pei Qingmin and she were just strangers. Since they were just strangers, there was no need to explain it too clearly.
Be it a misunderstanding or a misconception, for two people, it might be a good thing!
"If you can please Concubine Qu, she can give you even the most precious things, not to mention some aged Scutellaria baicalensis."
Pei Qingmin smiled slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Qu Moying, checking her reaction.
Qu Moying's veil seemed to be motionless, but no one knew what her expression looked like. However, one thing was certain, this Fourth Miss Qu must have understood something, as she did not speak for a long time. This made Pei Qingmin somewhat satisfied. At least this Fourth Miss Qu in front of him was not useless.
Being vain is sometimes a good thing, isn't it? But it depends on how you think about it and how you use it...
"I don't understand what your highness said." Qu Moying said.
Pei Qingmin smiled more kindly, turned his head and coughed twice, then turned back with a faint blush on his face: "Qu Taifei is not an ordinary Taifei. It is a great thing to win her favor. It is even better for Miss Qu Si."
The inducing meaning in this statement is obvious.
"Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean." Qu Moying still pretended to be confused and didn't say anything further.
But this is what Pei Qingmin needs. "It doesn't matter if Miss Qu Si doesn't understand. I have fulfilled my promise to help Miss Qu.
The Fourth Miss has found a way. As for whether or not Fourth Miss Qu wants to use it, or how to use it, it has nothing to do with this king. This king is also tired, Fourth Miss Qu, please go!"
Pei Qingmin began to rudely expel the guests, picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip, then smiled at Qu Moying.
"Your servant shall take his leave!" Qu Moying stood up, bowed to Pei Qingmin, and then turned and left with Yu Dong. It turned out that none of these princes in the royal family were easy to deal with. Even the sick and weak King Wei, who was almost unable to hold on, was not an ordinary person.
These words were said very cleverly. They aroused my interest and hinted at the great benefits and humanity in it. No matter from which angle I looked at it, if I didn't go to visit the patient and try to please Concubine Qu, it would be inappropriate and inappropriate, and it would also make people feel cold and indifferent.
Qu Moying didn't believe that the King of Wei would be so kind, but he couldn't guess why for the time being.
After getting on the carriage, he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore. This matter seemed mysterious, so he kept it in his heart.
Our focus now is on the matter of Yuejinge, which is urgent.
"Yudong, what do you think of Mr. Zhao?" Qu Moying asked casually without opening his eyes. "I think he looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him before?"
"Miss, have you seen this Mr. Zhao? I heard that he has just arrived in Beijing not long ago." Yu Dong said in surprise, "I didn't realize that you have seen him before. He doesn't look familiar to me."
Yu Dong had sharp eyes and could remember almost everything he had seen, but he had taken a look at this Young Master Zhao before and felt that he had never seen him before.
"Maybe I saw it wrong!" Qu Moying rubbed his eyebrows and said.
Although she said so, she still felt as if she had seen it before. However, when she thought about it carefully, there was no trace of it, and she had no memory of having actually seen it.
When she returned home, Qu Moying went to see the old lady first. A lot of things happened today, so she had to inform the old lady, lest when the impact came, the old lady would be unaware of it.
"Mrs. Duan gave you the gold shop next to your Yueyi Pavilion?" The lady said in surprise when she heard Qu Moying talking about Yuejin Pavilion.
How could such a shop, although not making a fortune every day, be sold to someone else, and to Qu Moying at that? Qu Moying didn't have much cash, and the old lady certainly knew that, and this was one aspect of her guilt towards Qu Moying. Xiao Yue had cash in her dowry, and the shop had made a lot of profit over the years, but all of it was embezzled by Yu, and it couldn't be found anymore.
Even though the lady did compensate some of it, the amount was too large and she couldn't pay it all, so she always owed Qu Moying a lot.
"Yes, Madam Duan can't figure out the matter of that shop, and Madam Ji in the mansion has been watching her and won't let her go out to deal with things. Madam Duan has no choice, otherwise the shop will have to change hands and benefit someone else." Qu Moying also told the story of the Ling Anbo Mansion.
The lady nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Under the circumstances, it was no wonder that Madam Duan handled it this way. This was always better than selling it to the shop or giving it to outsiders.
"Then you should be careful. If you encounter any difficulties, ask your father for help!" The lady said with concern after understanding the situation.
