Is your eye disease healed
Qu Moying didn't know what to say for a moment. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, just in time to slide across Pei Yuanjun's hand which had not yet been retracted.
For a moment, Qu Moying froze.
Pei Yuanjun's hand fell and gently touched her fair cheek. When his warm, slender fingers slid across her skin, the tingling sensation made her stiff face immediately hot.
She raised her hand and subconsciously wanted to push him away. She tried hard to look calm and serious, but her blushing face revealed her beating heart.
Pei Yuanjun's hand fell along with hers, and he just held her hand with his backhand.
Her hand was very small, and was held in his big hand, almost completely controlled by his palm, feeling warm, and her heartbeat was uncontrollably.
"While I am here to check your eye disease, it should be cured now. There is no need to wait for the emperor's order. No one dares to touch my people."
Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
Qu Moying struggled with her slender hands, but her hands were held tightly. Knowing that it was impossible to struggle free, she simply calmed her breathing and raised her watery eyes. The charming look in the corners of her eyes was surprisingly seductive, pure and misty. When she looked at Pei Yuanjun, there was only him in her eyes.
"Your Highness...it's actually not that urgent..." Qu Moying said after a moment of hesitation.
"The king is anxious." Pei Yuanjun reiterated indifferently. He lowered his head to look at Qu Moying, with a sense of elegance and nobility in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to lift Qu Moying's plump chin, and lifted it up with a little force, "Do you think this face... is not good?"
"You are too beautiful, don't you think so, Your Highness?" Qu Moying's chin was slightly painful from being held by him, but fortunately, the pain disappeared from his fingertips as soon as she raised her watery eyes, and only his figure was seen.
Pei Yuanjun smiled, and there seemed to be stars all over the sky in his sleeping eyes, bewitching people's minds.
"If you think so, should I also tie a veil around my eyes?"
"Your Highness is different. I am an unfavored daughter of the Minister's mansion." Qu Moying gently bit the corner of her beautiful lips, and her long eyelashes fell, like the shadow of a butterfly resting tiredly among flowers.
It is not a good thing to have a stunning beauty but no one to protect her.
If she was still Ji Hanyue, such a beauty would be the icing on the cake, but she was Qu Moying, a motherless girl with no one to protect her. Such an overly charming beauty could even be a disaster for her.
"No one in the Qu Mansion will plot against your looks now." Pei Yuanjun seemed to know what she meant. He lowered the hand that was holding her fair chin, then raised it again and gently touched the top of her head: "Don't worry, I'm here!"
"I heard that the current emperor likes those with beautiful looks the most. If they are too seductive..." Qu Moying pointed at the faint red color at the corner of her eyes. Although the red color was light, it brought out her charm.
"You are marrying me, so why do you care about the emperor's preferences?" Pei Yuanjun said disapprovingly.
Qu Moying was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond. He rubbed the handkerchief with his fingers.
"There are still things to consider." Pei Yuanjun raised his handsome eyebrows.
"My eyes were treated by Doctor Ji, who was sent here by my cousin. I was able to get better slowly because of Doctor Ji. Doctor Ji said that my eye disease was cured and I could slowly take off the veil, but... he doesn't want to...
In Beijing, Doctor Ji... "
Qu Moying didn't know what to say for a moment. One reason was that she was afraid that her appearance would not please the emperor, and the other reason was the matter of Doctor Ji.
"The person sent by the Crown Princess first, a doctor who is not very famous but very capable, should have said that it is best for you to wear a veil because of your eye disease, right?" Pei Yuanjun said.
"Yes... he did say that, but then someone sent a message saying I could take it now." Qu Moying frowned slightly, "Doctor Ji is a very good person. When I was in the manor... it was because of him that my eye disease was cured. He would travel outside from time to time. Before he went out this time, I originally said that I would wait for him to come back to take the eye veil, but then someone sent a message saying I could take it now."
"It's okay. The doctor I brought with me is indeed a famous doctor in Jiangnan, a real doctor, and a master of medicine inherited from his family. He just checked your eyes and found that there is no problem with them. You can take them off." Pei Yuanjun raised his fingers and gently stroked the corners of Qu Moying's eyes with a gentle touch.
"If...if that's the case, Doctor Ji...will he never come back?" Qu Moying lowered his head.
There are not many people in this world who she is grateful for their true love, and Doctor Ji is one of them. If Ji Hanyue had not sent Doctor Ji here, not to mention her eye disease, she might have lost her life.
In Qu Moying's heart, Doctor Ji is not just a doctor, but also a brother and an elder.
Doctor Ji had previously sent news that the eyelids could be removed and that he would be back soon, but there has been no news until now. If the previous Qu Moying did not understand, the current Qu Moying felt that Doctor Ji might really not plan to come back. If her eye disease has not been cured, Doctor Ji will definitely come back.
But now... she didn't know.
"It's okay, he will come back." Pei Yuanjun said, his thin lips slightly curved into a smile, very gentle, "Even if he doesn't come back, I will help you find him."
There was a gleam of light in Qu Moying's eyes. She bit the corner of her lip lightly, and this time she finally nodded hesitantly.
"The king has been preparing things for you for your coming-of-age ceremony these days. I heard that things for a coming-of-age ceremony should be prepared early to avoid confusion. Your birthday is also your coming-of-age ceremony this year, so how can you just ignore it?"
Pei Yuanjun said, reaching out and taking out a jade pendant from his arms and handing it to Qu Moying.
Qu Moying took it subconsciously, and then looked at the jade pendant in his hand with some surprise.
This jade pendant actually looked familiar. She had seen it on the prince before and heard that it was a symbol of the prince's status.
The dragon-shaped jade pendant is made of mellow and smooth jade, and it is obviously different from ordinary ones at first glance. Turning it over, you can see the last word of Pei Yuanjun on the back, engraved on the lower right corner of the jade pendant, very shallow but very clear.
The piece for the prince also has the last character of the prince, and they almost look like a pair.
"This is my jade pendant. It will stay with you from now on. It is made of warm jade and is very nourishing." Pei Yuanjun glanced at her and reached out to press her slightly lowered head. "Wear it on your body from now on. It can also be used as proof of identity when needed."
The dragon-shaped jade pendant is not something that ordinary people can own.
"Is this a gift from the Emperor?" Qu Moying asked subconsciously.
"Yes, I already had it when I was young. It's actually not very useful. Wherever I go, people will recognize me. There is no need to prove my identity." Pei Yuanjun said calmly.
The indifferent way.
"Do the other princes have it too?" Qu Moying always felt that this jade pendant was not that simple. It looked like a pair with the prince's, which showed that it was unusual.
"The prince has one in his hand, right? Although the others are also jade pendants bestowed by the emperor, they are slightly different from this one." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, "You keep it first and take care of yourself. I have asked the doctor, and he said that you have had poor health since childhood, so it would be better to use some warm jade to take care of yourself. However, the color of ordinary warm jade is mixed, and some are not big. Only this one is suitable."
"But... this is your jade pendant, specially given to you by the emperor." Qu Moying always felt that the effect of this jade pendant should not be limited to these, and he moved the hand holding the jade pendant forward.
"Whether it is a gift from the Emperor or not, it is yours now. When you marry into my palace, everything I have will be yours."
Pei Yuanjun said: "With this, you don't have to worry about anything else. After all, I can't find a second jade pendant to give to others."
Such a jade pendant represents Pei Yuanjun's thoughts and his unchanging mind, and it also gives Qu Moying peace of mind.
The delicate hands tightly grasped the jade pendant, and it was as if something had settled down, and the fingers twitched slightly.
The jade was soft and there was a faint warmth when held in the palm of the hand. The light from outside the window came in and shone on Pei Yuanjun's handsome face, which was so handsome that people dared not look at it directly, allowing Qu Moying to clearly see the brilliance and tenderness in his eyes.
The fragmented light from the sky fell into his eyes. His handsome and delicate facial features had a faint smile, and he looked gentle and dignified, like a banished immortal who had fallen into the human world, handsome and unmatched.
Her heart beat heavily twice, and then it was as if she was soaking in warm water. Her long eyelashes drooped, her cherry lips curled up silently, and her whole body relaxed.
It turns out that I was taking this and that into consideration, but the main thing was the uncertainty in my heart. I had no sense of security, and I always felt that things were not yet complete and many unexpected changes might occur.
In her previous life, she got into trouble on the day she married into the Eastern Palace, so in this life, all her thoughts were tinged with uncertainty.
In fact, what she lacks most is a sense of security. She is always afraid that something unexpected will happen at the last step. She always feels that she doesn't trust the world and is always afraid that she will end up at that step again.
She walked carefully, but she couldn't look back. However, the more she walked, the more worried and flustered she became. The more she wished she could stop and look back to see if she could turn back...
Her body was pulled into a warm embrace, and the hand holding the jade pendant was held loosely by a slender hand. Her nostrils were filled with Pei Yuanjun's breath, which was clear and carried his unquestionable warmth. It was not a loose embrace, but a strong embrace, holding her whole body in his arms, holding her tightly.
There is a kind of tenderness that is integrated into the bones and blood, and the hug is very firm.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." These gentle words were spoken bluntly from Pei Yuanjun's mouth. Their bluntness made people feel flustered, but it also made Qu Moying feel inexplicably at ease.
All her worries were speculations, and all her uneasiness was because there was no truth to them. In fact, she never asked for much, just a safe haven.
There is not too much hesitation, nor too much uncertainty. I don’t know if there will be any changes in the future. I am afraid that at the last moment, it will be another unrealistic dream. When I wake up from the dream, I will see a sea of blood...
