"Your Highness, my daughter is here. Now..." Qu Zhizhen hesitated and looked at Pei Yuanjun.
He is still puzzled. He doesn't know how a "famous doctor" appeared. When he came here before, Pei Yuanjun didn't mention anything.
"Since you're here, let the doctor take a look!" Pei Yuanjun's eyes fell on Qu Moying. After looking him up and down, he chuckled.
So, actually this person came here today just to see Qu Moying's appearance
Qu Zhizhen was sweating profusely. Fortunately, although this girl had an eye disease, she was really beautiful, otherwise she would definitely be disliked by the King of England.
"Miss Qu Si, please follow me." A doctor in his forties came out from behind Pei Yuanjun and bowed respectfully to Qu Moying.
Qu Moying looked at the lady hesitantly, then looked at Qu Zhizhen on the side, appearing very confused.
"Go!" Qu Zhizhen said with a kind smile.
"Miss Qu Si, please come in!" Pei Yuanjun spoke again.
The lady reached out and squeezed Qu Moying's hand, suggesting that she stand up. Qu Zhizhen also winked at her, indicating that she had to obey the King of England in everything.
Qu Moying stood up hesitantly, looked at the two of them again, followed the doctor, and went out to the side room.
"Madam, Minister Qu, I am really worried about the eye disease of your fourth young lady. I wonder if I can go over to take a look?" Pei Yuanjun looked at the still swaying pearl curtain and suddenly smiled meaningfully.
"Your Highness, this is against etiquette," the lady stopped him.
"How is it against etiquette? I just want to see my fiancée, how is that against etiquette?" Pei Yuanjun said lightly, glancing at Qu Zhizhen, "What do you think, Minister Qu? You can't say that you enter my mansion and then find out that it's inappropriate. It will be bad for everyone if you want to back out!"
There were so many implications in these words that the lady understood them all and her whole body was shaking with anger.
Qu Zhizhen also understood, looked at his angry mother, and showed a stiff smile on his face: "This... is what should be done, but Ying girl's situation is special."
"Because of the special circumstances, I specially brought a doctor here. Can I not let the doctor treat the eye disease?" Pei Yuanjun's smile was bright but cold.
It felt like a sharp knife was cutting across one's neck, making one feel terrified.
"This... is of course possible, but Ying girl has an eye disease... I'm afraid it won't look good right now." Qu Zhizhen lowered his head, not daring to look at Pei Yuanjun's handsome yet gloomy face.
"I don't care." Pei Yuanjun stood up gracefully, shook his sleeves, turned around and strode out. He was going to the side room to meet Qu Moying.
The lady was anxious and was about to speak to stop him, but she saw her son stand up and bow to the King of England: "Your Majesty, please!"
Pei Yuanjun nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the main house with his men.
"This... How can this be possible? This is against etiquette." The lady said anxiously.
"Mother, what's the point of you saying all this? He is the King of England, the King of England most favored by the Emperor. If he wants to do something, not even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can stop him." Qu Zhizhen had a headache.
"It was he who decided that Ying girl should enter his house. Now he is picking on Ying girl's appearance. This... isn't this bullying?" The lady was furious. She felt that the King of England had gone too far. The implication of his words just now was that Ying girl's appearance was not what she wanted.
If he is not satisfied, what I said before will not count.
If she really quit, how would Ying face people in the future? Of course, it would be impossible for her to get married again.
"Mother, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with Ying'er's appearance. Even... even His Royal Highness the King of England can't find any fault with Ying'er." Qu Zhizhen lowered his voice to comfort the lady.
"But even so, this... this behavior is too bullying." The lady was still very angry. Although she was also afraid of the King of England, she still wanted to stop him.
This is more like coming to pick goods. You have ordered the goods. Now you can take a look at the quality. If you are not satisfied, you can return them.
But this is a person, not a commodity, but my own granddaughter.
When she thought of this, the old lady felt so angry that her heart ached. How could her little granddaughter be so pitiful? First, the prince of Yongning was frivolous and had an affair with Yu Qingmeng, so she had to cancel the engagement. Then, she was favored by the King of England, and now she had to lift her veil to look at others.
This... this is really too much.
"Mother, he is the King of England. Even if he... does something more excessive... there is nothing we can do." Qu Zhizhen said helplessly.
“He…he…” The lady was so angry that she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Mother, don't worry about Ying'er's appearance. She will be fine. At most, people will spread rumors that are not good. If she is favored by the King of England in the future, no one will dare to say anything even if she is not the principal wife." Seeing that his mother was still unwilling to give in, Qu Zhizhen had a headache.
He would never dare to offend the King of England.
"This... is that what you said?" The lady glared at her son fiercely. If her son hadn't brought the person to the door today, this wouldn't have happened.
"Mother, I want to ask you something. Does the Yongning Marquis' Mansion still want to renew the marriage with Ying girl?" Qu Zhizhen suddenly remembered something and his voice became even lower.
"Yes, it was the wife of Duke Qi who came to propose marriage in person, but I rejected her at the time. You have been very busy these days, and I have no time to talk to you about this matter."
This reminded the Madam, who nodded and said, "I was afraid that this would make Madam Qi unhappy and treat Ying badly. Fortunately, Madam Qi sent a gift to Ying, which shows that she really likes Ying and is not estranged from her because I rejected the marriage proposal."
"The son of Marquis Yongning is already married, yet he still dares to covet Ying'er." Qu Zhizhen said angrily. Although his rank as a minister was not very high, it was still much higher than that of an idle lord.
"I don't know what they were thinking. They actually managed to persuade Madam Qi." The Madam was also very worried.
"Mother, don't be angry. I will handle this matter. I will go to see Marquis Yongning later and explain everything to them." Qu Zhizhen said unhappily.
Since the King of England has mentioned this matter, he must do it immediately, so as not to displease the prince next time.
No matter whether he cares about Ying Yatou or not, as long as Ying Yatou is his, he will not let anyone discredit him.
Marquis Yongning is short-sighted, so he will suffer misfortune himself.
Qu Zhizhen thought so, and of course he would do so. In his opinion, the Yongning Marquis' Mansion was as far away from the Yingwang Mansion as heaven and earth. At this time, they still dared to propose a marriage between the two families. I don't know who gave them the face.
As for the Duke of Qi's Mansion, the old Duke is an old and confused man.
, this lady also seems confused. It is true that people who are not from the same family should not marry.
Look at what this is, is this something a smart person would do? Xu Lipeng already had an engagement, but he asked someone to be a matchmaker for his daughter. This was intended to embarrass his daughter and himself.
When I thought about it this way, I felt a chill in my heart, and suddenly I felt that maybe this was really done by someone who wanted to deal with me. Who just disliked me and deliberately made up such a thing
The old lady was very anxious, feeling that her little granddaughter had been bullied and suffered a great loss this time, and she didn't know how wronged she would be in the future.
In the next room, the atmosphere was peaceful.
The doctor had already slipped out the door, leaving only Qu Moying and Pei Yuanjun in the room.
The veil was removed and placed aside.
Qu Moying sat on the chair, looking puzzledly at Pei Yuanjun who pulled the chair to sit next to him: "Your Highness, what is the purpose of coming here today?"
"I just came to see you! The emperor's decree will be issued within these two days, there's no rush!" Pei Yuanjun glanced at her sideways, flicked his wide robe sleeves, and smiled as gentle as jade, revealing a sense of moistness, as if the Pei Yuanjun who was a little cold in front of Madam Qu just now was a different person.
"I'm not in a hurry." Qu Moying's face turned red for no reason. She turned her head to look aside, not daring to look at his burning eyes again. The pair of originally lazy, sleepy eyes, when slightly raised to look at people, actually gave people a sense of affection, which was very alluring.
"You are not in a hurry, but I am. I went to the emperor to cancel the engagement. The emperor felt that it would be more difficult to control me if I canceled the engagement, so it would be better for me to settle the marriage early." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, his voice casual, as if he was just saying it casually.
Qu Moying didn't know how to answer for a moment. She lowered her head with a blushing face and stirred the handkerchief in her hand twice.
Could this person be any more shameless? Is this the kind of thing a royal noble should say? How desperate must he be to say such a hard-to-get thing in front of the emperor
In his two lifetimes, Qu Moying had never heard anyone say such shameless and disrespectful words.
No matter how flexible and agile she was, she was only an unmarried girl. How could she have seen this, her pink little face flushed red.
After trying hard to calm herself down, she regained her voice and controlled herself to calm down: "Your Highness, you came here today not just for this, right?"
There must be more than just one reason for such a big fuss.
"Of course there are other reasons. From now on, I can come and see my fiancée with a legitimate reason." Pei Yuanjun laughed. "I heard that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is always restless, and even someone from the Qiguogong Mansion has jumped out. I'm afraid that the person I like will be targeted by others."
Does this mean that the world has been informed before the decree is issued
Qu Moying bit her lip. She really didn't know how to deal with Pei Yuanjun. She tugged the handkerchief in her hand twice, trying to calm herself down again. She raised her watery eyes and said, "So the prince took advantage of the first lady's incident to come here and make our relationship public?"
"This is naturally the most important aspect. The other aspect is your eyes." Pei Yuanjun looked at Qu Moying with a half-smile, and suddenly reached out to lift a strand of Qu Moying's hair to the side, and said meaningfully, "At this point, your eye disease... should be healed!"
