"Your Highness is too polite. Madam Liu's actions have nothing to do with Your Highness. It's just that my princess and I have a very good fate. It's a rare good fate and will bring good luck to my husband." Pei Yuanjun smiled seriously, his handsome eyes narrowed slightly, "It really is worthy of the Imperial Observatory. The calculations are very accurate. I am very satisfied."
Mentioning this topic, Pei Luoan was simply furious. Those people from the Imperial Observatory had always been putting on airs. It was originally just a matter of calculation and fiddling with the hexagrams, but they made it sound very serious, saying that only one person could be counted within a month, and pushed him, the prince, to the back.
If he didn't take his status as the crown prince into consideration, would it be so difficult for him to just ask someone to calculate his marriage fate with Liu Jingyu and listen to a few good words
A fortune that brings prosperity to the husband? Does anyone believe this? Only in the folks is there a saying that brings prosperity to the husband. With Pei Yuanjun's power, how can he bring prosperity to the husband? Can't he give him his throne
But the emperor actually believed it, saying that Pei Yuanjun survived the disaster thanks to Miss Qu, and the betrothal gift to Miss Qu became more and more generous.
On the surface, it looked a little less than the betrothal gift he had given to Ji Hanyue, but in reality? I heard that it was almost as much as he had given me.
He didn't care about Liu Jingyu's betrothal gift. She was originally a second marriage. In addition, the matter of Liu Jingyu's biological mother, Madam Liu, made him want to cancel the engagement. Naturally, he couldn't compete with Pei Yuanjun over the betrothal gift for her.
But Ji Hanyue was different. That was the one he really wanted to marry, and he had the Ministry of Rites prepare the betrothal gift with all his heart. How could Pei Yuanjun dare to secretly surpass that
Just because this Fourth Miss Qu saved him, and then she became a lucky charm for her husband, then the emperor thought it was very reasonable? The emperor is really extremely stupid!
He secretly gritted his teeth in hatred, but had to put on a look of agreement on his face: "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has always been very accurate in its calculations. During the Three Kings Rebellion, it was also the Imperial Astronomical Observatory that calculated that the Emperor Star was dim. Now, it can only mean that Miss Qu Si has an extremely good fate. If Han Yue were still alive, she would definitely be happy."
When Pei Luoan said this, a sad expression appeared on his face again and his eyelids drooped.
"Prince, there is no need to be too sad. Since the former Crown Princess is no longer with us, you should pity the person in front of you." Pei Yuanjun teased.
"Yes!" Pei Luoan didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only lower his head and remain silent for a while, and responded reluctantly.
I haven't visited that small ancestral hall for a long time. It seems that only there can I stop being restless. It turns out to be Hanyue, and only Hanyue, no one else can do it.
I felt inexplicably sad for a moment, and my eyes were slightly red.
The two men talked for a few more words. Seeing that Pei Yuanjun looked tired, Pei Luoan quickly stood up, took his leave, and then walked out.
When he got outside, he saw Yu Dong standing in the corner at a glance. He raised his eyes slightly. This Fourth Miss Qu seemed to be a capable person. No wonder Pei Yuanjun would stand up for her.
However, he disliked this kind of scheming woman the most. Thinking back to when he first met Miss Qu Si, she looked so weak and pitiful, but now he felt disgusted. Then he saw the maid who came hurriedly over, and reported what had just happened to Uncle Wang, which was really disgusting.
However, fortunately, this Fourth Miss Qu entered the Prince of England's palace and had nothing to do with our family, otherwise she might have been a troublemaker.
A destiny that brings good luck to your husband
What a joke! Marrying into the royal family of other people is a subtle sign of noble destiny. If she marries into my family,
That is the saying of Phoenix Fate. The so-called prosperous husband really makes people feel that it is a joke of the royal family.
Thinking of this, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered an event in the past. Ji Hanyue really did have the Phoenix Fate, but what did he say at that time
His face darkened and he hurried out, never leaving Yudong in the corner.
Feeling that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes were always on him, Yu Dong felt uneasy, but luckily it didn't take long before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, and he followed Eunuch Ji Hai inside.
After telling the prince what her young lady meant, there was no sound from above and Yudong became nervous.
My master's temper is only better when he is with the young lady. Isn't he always moody on weekdays
"Is your hand injury serious?" Pei Yuanjun's lazy voice came over. Hearing that there was no anger, Yu Dong was relieved and said hurriedly, "Miss reacted quickly at the time and blocked herself with her hands. When I rushed over, I grabbed Miss's sleeve and pulled Miss away. Your hand injury is indeed not bad!"
"What does the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that I need to rest for a while and it will be fine after a while." Yu Dong reported.
After returning home, he asked the local doctor to check it out.
"In a few days' time on New Year's Eve, I will take your young lady to enjoy the lanterns!" Pei Yuanjun said slowly.
"The prince's health... the master is worried about you." Yu Dong finished the words for Qu Moying.
After saying this, Pei Yuanjun's calm face showed a hint of smile: "I have been idle for so many days, I have to go out for a walk. This injury will not heal in a short time, but I can't sit still if I am locked up like this. Can your lady's hand go out?"
"Miss's hand should be fine." Yu Dong thought about what the doctor said, and then considered that this would happen in a few days, and replied.
Pei Yuanjun was quite satisfied with this and waved his hand, signaling him to go down.
Yudong cautiously retreated to the door and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why, are you afraid that the prince will be angry?" Eunuch Ji Hai also stepped out, and seeing him act like this, he asked with a low laugh.
"My master's temper..." Yu Dong looked around and whispered when he saw that no one was paying attention to them.
"Don't worry, I won't be angry about the Fourth Young Lady's matter. Besides, you've made it clear that the Fourth Young Lady asked you to go on this trip because she was worried about me."
Ji Hai said with a smile.
This was the sentence that Yu Dong was most satisfied with. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the prince, who had been a little sinister, immediately showed a smile on his face. He looked lazy and the atmosphere in the room just now also relaxed.
He knew that the prince was preparing to find a reason to go to Minister Qu's residence again.
This is actually not the best time, and the same reason cannot be used twice. The fourth young lady is so smart that she sent Yudong here. She must have sensed something.
It would be better for the prince to stay in the mansion to recuperate these few days. As for the New Year’s Eve in a few days, it doesn’t matter.
Ji Hai is extremely satisfied and accepts Qu Moying, the future mistress.
"As for Madam Liu, do you want our prince to help and kill her directly?" Ji Hai asked. He followed Pei Yuanjun and agreed with Pei Yuanjun's approach. He felt that there was no point in wasting time with Madam Liu. He could just have someone kill her secretly and nothing would happen.
She is just a minister's wife.
It's nothing.
"No, our young lady said that it is more appropriate for her to do this kind of thing." Yu Dong shook his head and refused. If it were in the past, he might have agreed with Ji Hai's statement, but after following his young lady in seclusion for such a long time, he felt that there were some things that were indeed more appropriate for her to do.
Anyway, the lady can handle it.
The prince is a big man and attracts attention. Any of his actions may be noticed by others, and the slightest mistake will lead to a big incident.
It is better to be careful in everything...
After hearing what he said, Ji Hai didn't say anything and asked him to take the medicine prepared by the prince. He had just asked the imperial doctors to get it from the palace. They were afraid that it was not enough, so they naturally took some more. It was originally intended to be sent to Qu Mansion, but Yudong's trip was a coincidence.
Before leaving, Ji Hai specifically reminded, "The betrothal gifts will be delivered in the next few days. Ask the young lady to quickly draft the dowry list. Don't rush it and make a mess."
"So fast?" Yu Dong was stunned for a moment. The order just came in the day before.
"It's pretty quick, but our prince is in a hurry." Ji Hai said implicitly, "The prince has already paid his respects, and the date is set not long after the date set by the prince."
In fact, the date for the prince's marriage had not yet been decided, and Pei Yuanjun's date naturally had not been decided either, but it was determined to be within a few days after the prince's marriage.
No matter what time the prince mentioned, Pei Yuanjun would not be behind for long.
Ji Hai was urging Yu Dong to get married in person, so Yu Dong naturally agreed. He also wanted his young lady to marry directly into the Prince of England's palace, so that things like today would not happen again, and no one would dare to treat their young lady badly anymore.
After leaving the Prince Ying's Palace, Yudong went to Yueyi Pavilion and Yuejin Pavilion. These two places now housed some of Qu Moying's embroidery and accessories.
Before, Qu Moying could still embroider a few stitches, but now her hands are in this condition and she can’t embroider at all. She has to go to Yueyi Pavilion to pick a few embroiderers and come directly to the mansion. If there are any unexpected events or requests, she can just raise them directly, so she doesn’t have to come to Yueyi Pavilion every time.
There were not so many requirements at Yuejinge. Yudong took out the drawing that Qu Moying gave her and told the shopkeeper to just draw according to it. The pattern was conceived by Qu Moying himself. Of course, anything was allowed in their own shop. When they heard that it was the boss's request and it was the boss's dowry, Shopkeeper Zhang nodded repeatedly.
"Make one first and let the lady take a look. If she thinks it's ok, you can make the rest according to this." Shopkeeper Zhang made a special suggestion because he was afraid that the making might not be good.
Yu Dong thought about it and thought this was a good idea, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have it ready in a few days and send it to the mansion for Miss to take a look at!"
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded repeatedly.
After finishing the matters on both sides, Yudong prepared to go back home. When he went out, it was already dark outside. It gets dark early in winter. As soon as the sun went down, some shops had already started to light lanterns.
The lanterns that are lit now are of course ordinary lanterns, but next to some shops, many beautiful semi-finished lanterns have already been displayed.
It will be the New Year's Eve in a few days, and there is a custom in Beijing to watch lanterns at night.
Yudong found it novel and there happened to be a shop diagonally opposite, so he went in and picked out a semi-finished one, asked the shop owner to make it first, and bought it for a high price. It would also be nice to let his daughter have a taste of it.
Yu Dong, who was waiting there, glanced over and was surprised to find a familiar person hurriedly passing by him...
