The incident involving Concubine Li was soon settled.
The loss of a beauty in the harem is actually nothing.
All the memorials from the previous dynasty were collected one by one. The one who made the biggest mistake in this matter was Concubine Li. It might make sense to criticize other people's memorials, but there was no evidence. All the evidence pointed to Concubine Li. But Concubine Li went crazy, and Concubine Li's family was also implicated.
But for the rest, there is nothing else.
The follow-up of this incident happened in the Qu Mansion. Many people know that the third young lady of the Qu Mansion went to Prince Jing's Mansion overnight because she was afraid of being implicated in the incident of Concubine Li.
Before, she was a concubine appointed by King Jing, but the current operation made people confused. Is she an ordinary concubine now, or is she still a concubine
If she was an ordinary concubine, she would have been properly recognized before. But if she was not an ordinary concubine, wouldn't there be even a ceremony for her to enter the house
The royal family has always been strict about rules. If she enters the palace at this time, will she be considered a concubine
Fortunately, there is no queen in Prince Jing's Mansion now, so this matter will not be brought to the surface. The most important thing is to see the intentions of Prince Jing's queen and Prince Jing in the future. The others are just idlers now. Everyone is curious, but the specific details are not something they can interfere with.
However, many people had some complaints about Qu Zhizhen. They thought that he was too timid. He made something that had nothing to do with the daughter of the Qu family so complicated that even the daughter had to enter the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion at such an inopportune time.
No wonder, although this guy seems to have a bright future, he is still far behind Minister Liu who is in the same class as him.
In Minister Liu's residence, Liu Jingyu was sitting in his mother Qi's room chatting.
"Mother, the Qu family is really useless. It's really ridiculous to send their third daughter to Prince Jing's Mansion at this time." There were no outsiders around at the moment, so Liu Jingyu certainly didn't need to hide her contempt. She said sarcastically that she didn't like Qu Moying, so naturally she wouldn't like the Qu family either.
Qi put down the teacup in her heart and looked thoughtful, without responding.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Jingyu asked with concern.
Qi shook her head, looked at Liu Jingyu with soft eyes, and smiled: "Nothing, I just feel strange, the third lady of the Qu Mansion was sent away, but the fourth lady of the Qu Mansion is fine? It seems that the fourth lady of the Qu Mansion is not simple!"
"What's so difficult about it? Maybe there's nowhere to send it. If the marriage with the Yongning Marquis' Mansion is still going on, maybe it can be sent to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion." Liu Jingyu curled his lips in disapproval.
This time, Qi smiled and said, "Don't underestimate her."
"I underestimated her? Who is she? She is just a little lady from a minister's mansion. Now even her marriage has been cancelled. I heard that no one has come to propose marriage to her. Who knows what will happen in the future!"
Liu Jingyu taunted.
"No matter how poor she is, she is still the daughter of the Minister's mansion, and she is also the legitimate daughter. With her mother..." Qi paused here, her eyes dimmed, "Okay, let's not talk about other people's affairs. Let's talk about yours. What happened today? Why did you come to me so early in the morning?"
"Mother, I... I'm so angry. It's Qu Moying again... this person..." Liu Jingyu said angrily.
He dropped the teacup in his hand, feeling very angry.
"What's wrong?" As soon as Qi saw her expression, he knew something was wrong and asked softly.
"Mother, do you know the red agate rockery that my grandmother prepared for me?" Liu Jingyu said angrily.
"I know. What's wrong? Wasn't this prepared for you by your grandmother a long time ago? Could it be that she gave it to your cousin?" Mrs. Qi asked indifferently.
"If it was given to Qi Xiangyu, it would be fine, but it was given to Qu Moying." Liu Jingyu was very angry and felt pain in her heart. It's not that she was narrow-minded, but she couldn't accept that the person in her eyes was Qu Moying.
Whenever she thought about Qu Moying stealing her things, she felt filled with hatred.
"Your grandmother gave your things to the fourth young lady of the Qu family? Why?" Qi was also surprised.
"She said it was a thank you gift or an apology for what happened before. Anyway, she found an excuse to send it over. My grandmother also said she would give me other compensation, but I don't want it. I just want this agate rockery. Why can she take my things? Don't you think she is such a lowly person?"
Liu Jingyu's face turned red with anger.
"Of course she can't be compared with you. You are a beautiful jade, and she is rubble. No matter how good she looks, she is despised in her bones. Don't worry about it." Qi comforted her daughter.
These words sounded gentle, but the tone in them was condescending, as if talking about Qu Mojing, it was more like he was stepping on an ant on the ground.
"Who are you? You are the future Crown Princess! As for her, she is at best a housewife. With her current appearance, even if she can be married as the legitimate wife, she will definitely not be a good match. There has been no news of any engagement in the Qu Mansion so far. Maybe they are just trying to find a good son-in-law for the next spring imperial examination. They want to pick a decent one and have someone marry her. She will be very different from you in the future. There is no need to get angry over her."
Seeing that her daughter was still angry, Qi smiled contemptuously.
"Mother, I just can't accept it. Why did my grandmother give her my things? Does she deserve it?" Liu Jingyu was still angry. "My grandmother and grandfather are also old and confused. They are so good to a daughter of another family, but they make me retreat again and again. It's really infuriating."
"Your grandfather also knows about this?" Mrs. Qi's heart skipped a beat.
"Of course I know. From what I heard from my grandmother, it seems that my grandfather also has his own meaning. Mother, why does my grandfather care about Qu Moying? Why does she catch his eye? Is it really because she is the daughter of Xiao Yue and my grandfather has a good relationship with Jiangnan Yue?"
Liu Jingyu said in confusion.
Qi was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said slowly, "Well, this matter has passed. She will never be able to compare with you. Who are you now? Who is she? If you argue with her, you will ruin your own status and make your grandmother and grandfather laugh at you. You might as well find out why these two old people think highly of her."
"Mother, you are always so kind. This kind of thing cannot be easily agreed upon. Who knows if she is a bastard!" Liu Jingyu said angrily.
After he finished speaking, he saw his mother's face change slightly, and realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Mom, I understand. You know I listen to you the most."
After saying that, he leaned his head over.
Seeing her daughter so gentle, Qi
