Qu Moying followed Pei Yuanjun out of the door, but didn't go too far away, just stood aside outside the palace gate.
Pei Yuanjun took out a small sandalwood box from his sleeve, handed it to Qu Moying, and said lazily: "Today, I went to the palace and the palace sent the seal. I happened to see you here, so take it first!"
Qu Moying took it subconsciously and looked at him in confusion: "What is this?"
What seal? It was made in the palace, how come she didn't know about it
"Your future official seal." Pei Yuanjun shook his robe, turned around and strode away.
At the bottom of the stairs, the emperor's dragon chariot was still waiting there. At the dropped yellow curtain, the emperor looked at Qu Moying thoughtfully, then looked at Pei Yuanjun who was just walking down.
Pei Luoan was standing beside the dragon chariot and saw the scene in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He lowered his head, and his attention was all on what had just happened.
The brocade box that Concubine Qu returned to my father was the one that my mother had guessed before. It seemed that I needed to ask my mother to be careful. Since the box was not with Concubine Qu, and my father seemed to attach great importance to Concubine Qu, my mother must not act rashly.
Qu Moying watched the emperor's dragon chariot leave before opening the small sandalwood box and seeing clearly that there was indeed a gold seal inside.
When I picked it up and opened it, I found it was the official seal of the Princess of England, which represented her future identity as the Princess of England.
It means that her identity as the Princess of England has been officially recognized by the royal family.
This is a gold seal bestowed directly by the royal family, just like the seal of an official. However, because the girl was a woman, the seal was made very small.
She could carve many seals herself in the future, but only this one was official and the most recognized.
The daughters-in-law of the royal family would all have such an official seal, which was indeed given to them before the wedding, usually a few days before the wedding. No one would be given it so early like hers, several months before the wedding.
And it's so casual.
It was because of Pei Yuanjun's casualness that she didn't expect that this would be her future official seal.
But... it's not in accordance with the rules to give it so early...
"Is this the official seal of the Princess of England?" A voice suddenly came to her ears. Qu Moying turned around hurriedly, only to find that the Queen was standing behind her at some point, her eyes fixed on the golden seal in her hand.
"Empress!" Qu Moying squatted and bowed.
“Miss Fourth Qu, there’s no need to be so polite. This is… the official seal that the King of England gave you just now?” The Queen smiled slightly, her eyes still fixed on Qu Moying’s hand.
"Yes!" Qu Moying raised his hand and presented it respectfully.
The Queen took it and looked at it, then nodded: "It is indeed the seal of the Princess of England, but why was it given so early?"
"I don't know. The prince just said that he got it today. I happened to be here, so he gave it to me directly." Qu Moying said bluntly.
She answered fluently, and although she looked timid and fragile, at least she did not hesitate.
After the Queen's eyes examined her, she felt that what she said was true, and immediately put the golden seal back into Qu Moying's hand: "Your Highness is still too casual. How can you give this golden seal like this? You have to let someone go to the Qu Mansion! Giving it away like this will make you look disrespectful and make people look down on you."
Qu Moying didn't know how to answer this question, so she could only hold her hands tightly.
The golden seal in his hand looked a little embarrassed and uneasy.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. The King of England is a man and doesn't care about these small details. But this matter cannot be remedied now. So let it be. I will help you wake up the King of England when I have a chance in the future." The Queen smiled, with a bit of dignity in her gentleness, and she looked like she was considering Qu Moying.
What he meant was, of course, that the King of England didn't care about Qu Moying at all, and whether to marry her or not was just a formality.
For a girl who was eager to get married and had high hopes for the future, this was almost like a huge bucket of cold water poured over her head, so much so that not even a spark of hope was put out.
Even though she married into the King of England's palace, she couldn't win the King's heart. If she wanted to live a good life in the future, she had to follow the Queen closely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qu Moying was sarcastic in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, still looking grateful.
Seeing Qu Moying act like this, the Queen was quite satisfied. The Princess of Ying was indeed very surprised. Not only was it an accident that Pei Yuanjun married Qu Moying, but the current situation was another accident. If Qu Zhizhen became a Shangshu, he might become a prime minister in the future, and he might be very young.
Originally, this phase was reserved for Liu Borui, but Liu Borui's current situation and Qu Zhizhen were completely upset.
The Queen Mother looked at Qu Moying's face and sighed in her heart. Could it be that this Fourth Miss Qu was really a blessed person
I won’t talk about her past when she was young. Since she returned to Beijing, not only did she live a good life, but Qu Zhizhen also became prosperous. Originally, it was said that she was blind, but looking at her beauty, she is actually stunningly beautiful. Such a beauty is not even found in the imperial palace.
The imperial palace was originally a place where beauties gathered. However, among so many beauties, the most outstanding one was still Miss Qu Si, who would have thought that she had a reputation of being neither talented nor pretty.
Not to mention her appearance, the Queen Mother even found it impossible that she was talentless. Although she looked a little fragile, her behavior was still graceful and there was nothing inappropriate about her.
Pei Yuanjun was saved by her, and later he said that it was because of her that his health improved, and the so-called "good luck" was achieved.
Qu Moying is indeed a blessed person. But what about Liu Jingyu? Is she really unlucky? It seems that I need to find someone to calculate her fate.
The Queen felt unhappy when she thought of Liu Jingyu's current state.
"The Concubine Dowager must take good care of her illness. If Fourth Miss Qu is free, please come to the palace more often to accompany her. You are from Concubine Dowager Qu's family, and I also hope that you can move around more often. If you need anything, you can tell me directly." The Queen Mother suppressed her restlessness and smiled.
"Yes!" Qu Moying nodded respectfully.
The Queen smiled and saw that Qu Moying's attitude was becoming more and more friendly. "I watched the King of England grow up. Now he is going to marry a wife. This is really a great thing. The King of England is a man after all. If you have any grievances in the future, you can tell me and I will help you rebuke the King of England."
This means that he will definitely stand on Qu Moying's side.
"Thank you, Queen." Qu Moying said gratefully with red eyes.
She was a motherless child, and now she could receive the Queen's repeated gentle comfort and the Queen's words of support. How could she not be moved
The queen nodded to her with satisfaction, led her people down the high steps, and then got on the phoenix sedan chair, and led all the palace maids under her
People leave.
On the steps, Qu Moying slowly raised his head and looked at the Queen's back with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
She heard the Queen's words very clearly. She repeatedly said that Pei Yuanjun didn't care about her, and repeatedly said that she could be relied on.
Of course, this kind of reliance is not given for nothing. In the royal family, it means dependence.
I depend on the Queen Mother, obey her in everything, listen to her in everything, and put her first in everything. I have to do whatever she tells me to do. This is dependence.
Only in this way will the Queen help him gain a foothold in the British Palace.
Therefore, this is the bargaining chip that the Queen Mother gave to me, and it is also the path she pointed out for me.
If she was really just the Qu Moying of the past, this was the only way out now and she had no choice but to take it, so the Queen left with a calm mind.
But she is no longer the Qu Moying she once was...
His eyes returned to the golden seal in his hand. After looking at it, he seemed to be thinking about something. He always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important.
The gold seal? Something about the gold seal
This golden seal is also called the official seal. I have never seen it in this life, but I have seen it in my previous life. When I married into the palace in my previous life, this official seal of the Crown Princess was hanging around my waist.
She didn't want to hang it originally, but that day she was willful and wanted to hang it up. At that time, Ji Youran tried to persuade her not to do so for a long time.
for a long time
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through my mind, and I froze in place. I was sweating coldly on my back, and my breathing became rapid...
"Miss, Miss!"
Yu Dong's voice seemed far away. It took Qu Moying a long time to come back from this stiff state. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, but there was a cold and murderous look in his eyes. His fingers were tightly clenched on the golden seal in his hand, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Is it what she guessed
It's not fear, it's anger...
"Miss." Yu Dong's voice finally reached her ears, and her hands slowly relaxed. "What's the matter?"
"Her Majesty, please come in." Yu Dong looked at Qu Moying's pale face without a trace of blood, and said cautiously, with his hand lightly supporting himself. No matter how he looked at his young lady, his expression didn't seem right. Could she be unwell
"Okay!" Qu Moying calmed himself down and put the seal into his sleeve.
"Miss, are you okay?" Yu Dong asked worriedly.
"Nothing, I just remembered some old things about the Crown Princess." Qu Moying's expression had calmed down. Now was not the time to think about the past.
In the inner hall, Concubine Qu looked much better than before. Nanny Miao's powder was still very effective. After using it before, Concubine Qu felt that the depressed feeling in her chest and stomach had eased a lot. The critical illness she had just reported was just a deliberate act.
But this was her previous state, and it wasn't entirely an act.
"Ying girl, what should we do now?" Seeing her coming, Concubine Qu waved to her and asked. The matter of the brocade box was solved very well, and Concubine Qu became more and more convinced of Qu Moying. This was originally a big thing that weighed on her mind. The deaths of one person after another put a lot of pressure on Concubine Qu.
"Next, Her Majesty the Concubine should just take good care of yourself!" Qu Moying smiled and sat down beside the bed, saying meaningfully.
