"The veil is very thin. It has almost no effect when it is lightly worn. Unlike you, young lady, who deliberately raised it higher and tied it on the forehead, she tied it directly on the eyes, but it is very thin. It is so thin that I can almost see her eyes when I pass by. It is especially thin. I don't think it can block strong light, right?"
Nanny Yan commented.
She originally thought it was her own lady, so she looked at her a few more times. When she got closer, she realized it was not her, and her eyes met that of Miss Liu.
Miss Liu just smiled slightly at her rude behavior, which made Nanny Yan feel a little good about her.
But does this eye veil really work
"Maybe it's just a matter of covering it slightly. This eye disease shouldn't be a big problem." Qu Moying answered casually.
"I heard that Miss Liu's eye disease seems to be related to Prince Yun." Nanny Yan's voice suddenly lowered a few degrees.
"How to say?"
"I heard that it was to save the prince. Of course, it could also be related to the northern border when she left the city with the prince." Nanny Yan said. She didn't know for sure. This was from someone close to Concubine Qu. She had heard about it in the past few days. The person who was talked about the most in the palace these days was Miss Liu.
It is said that women are as good as men. It is said that Miss Liu is different from ordinary ladies from wealthy families. She is a real extraordinary woman.
"The palace is still saying that she is going to marry the prince..." Nanny Yan stole a glance at Qu Moying's face, and seeing that she was still as calm as water, she continued, "I think this is fake. If the prince really wanted to marry this Miss Liu, he would have married her right away. There is no way he would have waited until now without any reaction."
Nanny Yan has met many people, but a man like Prince Yun doesn't look like the kind of person who would keep all his feelings to himself and would not take advantage of someone if he liked someone.
"Madam Yan, you go back first and arrange things for entering the palace." Qu Moying smiled slightly and said calmly.
This means that you don't want to talk anymore.
Nanny Yan sighed helplessly and could only say, "Yes, young lady, I will take my leave."
"Go and get busy first!" Qu Moying waved his hand with a smile.
Nanny Yan responded and retreated. When she reached the door, she stopped, turned around and wanted to say something, but saw Qu Moying looking at her with a smile. Her eyes were calm under her long eyelashes, without a single ripple. She could only smile and retreat.
Standing in the corridor, Nanny Yan frowned. She originally didn't care about the affairs of the young lady of the general's mansion. Even though she heard that Miss Liu was the new favorite in the palace, the Empress had to summon her to the palace to accompany her, and even Concubine He would invite her over to talk from time to time.
But what if it really is related to Prince Yun
Even if a man does not like a woman, if the woman really injured her eyes to save him, the best way to repay her is to marry her.
Besides, this Miss Liu has a much higher status than my own lady, and she seems to be a nice person. She won’t be off-putting to people at first sight, and one may even have a vague feeling that she is what a lady from a wealthy family should be like.
Nanny Yan felt a little panicked for some reason. She had just used this conversation to try to wake up her young lady, but judging from her young lady's expression, she should be clear about it. Why didn't she react at all
What if the young lady from the General's house really married the Prince of Yun
Nanny Yan was looking worried and stood in the corridor without leaving.
Yu Dong came in from outside and saw Nanny Yan standing in the corridor. She seemed to be in a daze. She didn't know how long she had been standing there. Seeing her frowning face, she stretched out her hand and waved in front of Nanny Yan: "Nanny Yan!"
Nanny Yan came back to her senses
Lai, calmed down, and looked at Yu Dong: "Did you go out just now?"
"I went out for a while and just came back. Is the young lady in the room?" Yu Dong pointed inside and said softly.
"The young lady is inside." Nanny Yan nodded.
"I will go in and report to the young lady." Yudong said goodbye to Nanny Yan. Nanny Yan nodded, watched Yudong go in, sighed deeply, turned around and went back to her own room to prepare for the young lady's entry into the palace.
It's still unclear what the situation is now. The young lady is a smart person and can keep calm! That young lady Liu is good, but I think she is still not as good as my young lady...
Inside the house, Yu Dong was reporting to her: "Miss, everything has been done. I saw the person next to Ming Xian'er. It was the maid from before."
He was talking about the maid who had asked them for help in the Prince's Mansion.
"Just send it in." Qu Moying smiled slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered twice. Under her butterfly-wing-like eyelashes, her eyes were as deep as water, calm and quiet.
"Will Ming Xianer not tell it?" Yu Dong was a little worried.
"No! If Ming Xian'er wants to stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion, she needs someone to help her. Otherwise, Concubine Ji will not tolerate her. Besides, she has her own ambitions."
Qu Moying closed her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes fell messily on her eyelids.
Ming Xianer's ambition was clearly seen from the first time I met her. She then caused a big fuss in the mourning hall and risked her life to survive. Her ambition was not small.
With such an opportunity, how could she not use it!
As long as she has ambition, isn't the Prince's Eastern Palace the most likely place for her ambition to come true
Now... she gave Ming Xian'er a chance...
In the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Pei Luoan, accompanied by several eunuchs and chamberlains, strode towards the inner courtyard. When maids and old women saw them, they hurriedly stepped aside. Judging from the situation, the Crown Prince must be going to see Concubine Ji.
Concubine Ji was previously under house arrest, but there seems to be signs that she has been released recently. The Crown Prince has gone to see Concubine Ji again in the past few days, and judging from the situation, it will only take a day or two.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression was not right today.
When they arrived at Ji Youran's yard, a maid had already seen Pei Luoan coming from afar and went to report to Ji Youran, who then went to the gate to greet him.
Seeing Pei Luoan coming in, he quickly turned sideways and bowed, saying softly, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
She has been very docile these days and has been respectful in everything. In order to lure the prince over, she even bribed many people in the prince's mansion. This is why the prince has been coming here so frequently these days.
Last night the prince promised her that he would release her from house arrest for the next few days and allow her to take charge of the backyard of the Eastern Palace again.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a cold snort in her ear. Pei Luoan gave her a cold look and strode in.
Ji Youran was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed in.
In the main room, Pei Luoan sat down and stared at Ji Youran with a cold gaze, which made Ji Youran shudder and she stepped forward to salute again in panic.
Pei Luoan waved his hand and left only one eunuch behind, while everyone else went down.
"Ji Youran, where is my hairpin?" Pei Luoan asked sternly.
"Hairpin...what hairpin?" Ji Youran shivered and asked hurriedly, raising his pale face, looking confused, as if he really knew nothing.
"Where is the hairpin that I placed in the study?" Pei Luoan asked word by word.
"Your Highness... you... what are you talking about? I don't understand... I don't understand."
Ji Youran said anxiously
.
Pei Luoan slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacup on it to jump up. Fortunately, there was not much tea in it, so it did not spill out. "Ji Youran, do you want me to call someone over for a confrontation?"
"Your Highness, I really don't understand what you are talking about." Ji Youran knelt down with a plop, looking at Pei Luoan with tears in her eyes, "I have been under house arrest these days and have not left the courtyard. How would I know that the hairpin beside Your Highness is missing? Besides, is this hairpin going to be given to some important person by Your Highness? Can you let me know as well?"
Ji Youran said miserably with a bitter smile, "I have never seen Your Highness pay so much attention to the hairpins used on women. You must let me know. Even if I die, I should be able to understand Your Highness' true intentions, right?"
She said this with great grievance, her voice trembling slightly, and the tears in her eyes finally fell, slowly sliding across her fair face.
"You really don't know?" Pei Luoan frowned and looked at her.
“I… really don’t know anything. If Your Highness doesn’t believe me, you can ask the people here, asking if I have ever listened to Your Highness and gone out without permission?” Ji Youran took a handkerchief and wiped away her tears. Because she felt too aggrieved, the more she wiped away her tears, the more she shed tears, and her voice choked up unconsciously.
"I know that I did something wrong before. I shouldn't have been with cousin Qu... I have been feeling sad these past few days. Even if I knew that His Highness really had someone else in his heart... I would not do anything to the hairpin recklessly."
"It's really not you?" Pei Luoan's expression eased slightly.
"It really isn't me. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, just go and check it out yourself." Ji Youran insisted that she had no idea, absolutely could not know, and dared not know.
"If not you, who else could it be? Isn't that girl Xie Feng yours?" Pei Luoan asked back, his eyes still gloomily fixed on Ji Youran.
All the hairs on Ji Youran's body stood up. The invisible murderous aura made her know clearly that if she answered wrong, Pei Luoan would never forgive her.
“Your Highness, Xie Feng is the Crown Princess’s person and has always been hers. Even though she is following me now, she only has the Crown Princess in her heart. Don’t you know that?” Ji Youran cried loudly, “I took her in and gave her a face because of the Crown Princess. But she didn’t take me into consideration in her subsequent actions. During this period, she seldom came to my place.”
"So, you really don't know about this?" Pei Luoan was still examining her.
"I really don't know what hairpin Your Highness is talking about. No matter who Your Highness gives it to, I dare not say anything." Ji Youran wiped away her tears, lowered her head and knelt on the ground.
Seeing how she was submissive, Pei Luoan's face eased a little and he said, "Stand up and talk!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ji Youran stood up crying, feeling very aggrieved.
"If not you, who else could it be?" Pei Luoan didn't notice her aggrieved expression and said to himself.
"Your Highness, what exactly is this important hairpin? Please tell me what it is. Maybe I can help you analyze it." Ji Youran wiped away her tears and said flatteringly.
"No need!" Pei Luoan stood up and glanced at her coldly, "It's best if this has nothing to do with you, otherwise..."
With a cold snort, he turned around and strode away.
Behind her, Ji Youran clenched her teeth tightly. She hated it, but also found it ridiculous.
Ji Hanyue is dead, but the prince is still obsessed with her. Why would he need a hairpin for a dead person who is rotten? It's ridiculous...
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, the Queen, she still had the Queen...
