"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I will invite Miss Liu to the palace tomorrow. You should come and meet her." The Queen thought about it and decided to meet her in advance. "Noble Concubine He and Prince Jing must have had some thoughts. Compared to you, he has one more advantage. The position of the principal concubine is vacant."
"Mother, if I had known earlier you should not have acknowledged Liu Jingyu." Pei Luoan frowned and said unhappily.
"That was then, and this is now," the Queen blurted out.
This was also the result of weighing the pros and cons. At the time, only Liu Jingyu was the most suitable person, and Madam Liu was someone who suited the Queen's taste. After the two talked about it, they hit it off.
Another point is that the Queen Mother had taken a fancy to Liu Jingyu very early on. Later, when she saw that the Liu family seemed to be interested in Prince Jing and had contacts with Prince Jing's family, the Queen Mother was very anxious.
The intention to snatch Liu Jingyu away is obvious.
On the one hand, her wife had just passed away, and on the other hand, the wife she had chosen was about to be snatched away by someone else. Naturally, the Queen Mother responded immediately.
Thinking about it now, it was indeed a bit hasty.
"Although you have been appointed as the principal wife, you will be the crown prince in the future, and there will be endless possibilities. Even if you are just a concubine, it is much better than being the principal wife of a powerless prince in the future. If Miss Liu is smart, she should know how to choose. Besides... didn't that one not want to marry?"
The Queen Mother sneered. She heard that Miss Liu had a close relationship with Pei Yuanjun, and the Emperor had his intention in it. Even if she had some ideas, she would not dare to do anything. But now this man had no intention of getting married, which was really great. So what if he was Prince Jing? Her son could still compete for it.
Win over Miss Liu before that woman, Concubine He, reacts.
Similar statements also exist in Concubine He's palace.
"Sheng'er, Liu Jingyu is now the future Crown Princess. You must get this Miss Liu. She is more suitable than Liu Jingyu. When facing the Crown Prince, you will be more confident. This assistant minister will not be Ling Anbo in the future. Ling Anbo is always too stupid."
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Concubine He's beautiful face.
"That woman Liu Jingyu... let's leave her to the prince. I don't like her." Pei Yusheng's face was cold when he mentioned Liu Jingyu.
Although Liu Jingyu is now the Crown Princess, it was her mother who had taken a fancy to her before, and she also had close contacts with the Liu family. It can be said that it has not been officially decided yet. Both parties know it well. Later, the Liu family actually set their eyes on the position of Crown Princess, and Liu Jingyu and the Crown Prince also had contacts.
Although he didn't say that he really liked Liu Jingyu, Liu Jingyu gave up him for Pei Luoan, which was a slap in his face.
This matter was not publicized, but after all, there were still people who knew about it, or who had guessed it. Whenever Pei Yusheng thought of Pei Luoan indirectly slapping him, his face stiffened, as if there was a green cloud above his head.
"Okay, this matter has passed. What happens to Liu Jingyu has nothing to do with you in the future. Liu Jingyu is indeed a troublesome person, but the one in the prince's mansion is not a simple person. Even if her family background is not as good as Liu Jingyu's now, the relationship between her and the prince... is also very special." Concubine He said meaningfully.
"Did mother discover something?" Pei Yusheng lowered his voice unconsciously, his eyes flickering.
"I can't find out, but I feel it's not simple. Where did the assassin come from for the East Palace's wedding?" Concubine He was silent for a moment, and whispered to herself.
Pei Yusheng had been paying attention to Concubine He. After hearing what she said, he nodded:
"The third brother is a sickly bastard who is about to die. He doesn't seem to be able to do such a thing. The fourth brother is a fool who follows Uncle Wang wholeheartedly. As for Uncle Wang... Actually, it is possible."
The Crown Prince got married in the Eastern Palace and was assassinated. The Crown Princess was injured while trying to save the Crown Prince and later died. Later, Ling Anbo also followed him because he loved his beloved daughter.
With so many things entangled together, it is hard not to be suspicious.
Of course, outsiders are most suspicious of the mother and son in front of them, but they both know very well that they are innocent and this matter has nothing to do with them.
But one thing is very clear, the assassination of the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace is very disadvantageous to the Crown Prince. Originally, he could rely on Ling Anbo's strength to occupy a certain position in the military. Although it is not as good as the military power in Pei Yuanjun's hands, he is at least a legitimate crown prince.
Compared to Liu Jingyu, Ji Hanyue is the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess.
"If we can't figure this out, don't investigate it yet. Wait until this period of time has passed. Right now, it's Miss Liu. She is the only one who can be your Princess of Jing." Concubine He shook her head. "The Queen will definitely make some moves in the next few days. You should be careful. As for the Prince of Yun, since he said so, he really has no intention. Your only opponent is the Crown Prince."
Concubine He analyzed.
"Mother, he doesn't think that he can win her over with just the position of a concubine, right?" Pei Yusheng naturally understood what his mother meant and sneered.
"Of course he would think so. After all, he has always felt that he is the future god. If you are really just an idle prince, the position of the principal wife is indeed not as good as that of the imperial concubine in the palace." Imperial Concubine He glanced at her son and reminded him.
Pei Yusheng's face was uncertain after hearing these words. After a long while, he said, "Don't worry, mother. I will do my best!"
Even if the position of the crown prince is decided, what does it matter? Not to mention that the crown prince is not the emperor yet. Even if he is the emperor, he may be pulled down by someone.
There are only a few who have been crown princes for many years and have truly achieved good results! He just doesn't believe that he can't shake the crown prince...
When Qu Moying returned home, he first met the lady-in-waiting, and then went back to Qianyueju. He asked someone to prepare pen and ink, sat in front of the window, thought for a while, and then started painting.
She had already prepared the blank palindrome stickers that needed to be prepared before painting. They were neither too big nor too small, just right for making a small painting.
I don’t know if it’s because I slept for a while before, but my headache doesn’t hurt anymore and I feel better.
The painting is completed with just a few strokes, and its initial shape is already apparent.
After a short pause, she continued to paint. She was good at fine brushwork and especially liked painting butterflies. She had often accompanied her sister to catch butterflies in the past. As time went by, she liked the pattern of butterflies dancing among flowers more and more. This was also the form of butterflies dancing among flowers that she was best at. The fluttering wings had a very vivid posture.
The dancing butterflies make the flowers more beautiful and outstanding, and the stillness and movement complement each other.
What Ji Hanyue likes most is the butterflies that make the whole environment come alive. Among the fragrance of flowers and the dancing butterflies, she pays more attention to the dance of the butterflies. Therefore, her butterflies are more interesting than those painted by others. It looks as if there is really a pair of butterflies flying among the flowers.
Pairs of colorful butterflies dancing among the flowers, a beautiful sight.
After drawing a colorful butterfly, Qu Moying did not add another one as usual. Colorful butterflies do not come in pairs, so a single butterfly is enough.
She didn’t understand before, and always liked colorful butterflies in pairs, but now she prefers to see colorful butterflies alone.
