But she had never heard of such a person!
I opened it again and took a closer look. The more I read, the more frightened I became. I originally thought it was a piece of music score, but it was actually just a few sections of one piece. The last section was not completed, so the whole piece became incomplete.
His fingers moved involuntarily in the air a few times, as if there was a piano in front of him. After playing a few times, he thought carefully for a while and continued to play in the air.
Seeing that she was fully immersed in the music, Yu Dong knew that his young lady particularly loved this kind of music, so he stopped talking and quietly watched Qu Moying playing the piano while thinking.
The carriage went all the way but was not in a hurry to return to the mansion. Qu Moying had previously ordered the carriage to go to the pharmacy. The old lady had been in poor health recently, so they went to the pharmacy to see if there were any suitable and good medicinal materials to prepare some first.
Good medicinal materials are hard to come by.
The carriage stopped in front of a drugstore. Yu Dong looked out the window at the store's door and saw that his young lady was still immersed in the silent playing. He had to say, "Young lady, we're here!"
Qu Moying came back to his senses, nodded, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Let's go!"
If I hadn't read it carefully, I wouldn't have known. Now she really can't put it down. This book is really to her liking. Was it specially found by the old Duke and given to her
Qu Moying got off the carriage and looked up. It was Huajitang. What was even more coincidental was that he saw Wei Wang Pei Qingmin in front of the door.
He walked in with a eunuch dressed as a servant, with his hands behind his back. Suddenly he stopped and looked behind him, seeing Qu Moying who had just got off the carriage.
Pei Qingmin stopped and looked over with a smile.
Qu Moying had no choice but to step forward, bow sideways, look up at his clothes that did not reveal his status, and said in a low voice: "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Come in!" Pei Qingmin nodded, turned around and walked into Huaji Hall.
Qu Moying followed in helplessly.
Seeing them coming in one after another, a waiter from Huajitang hurriedly came forward, and the eunuch following behind Pei Qingmin waved to the waiter who came over.
The waiter cleverly turned around and went to greet another customer who came in.
Pei Qingmin was in front, and Qu Moying had to follow behind. They went to a room on the side. Pei Qingmin sat down in the middle, and Qu Moying stepped forward and bowed again.
"Ms. Qu Si, please take a seat." Pei Qingmin smiled and pointed to a chair on the side.
Qu Moying sat down. A waiter came from the back of the room, served him tea, and then left quietly.
Qu Moying looked at the room. It looked like a simple clinic. There was a medicine box by the window. The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. There was a brocade stool in front of the desk where Pei Qingmin was sitting. On the desk were only simple medical equipment such as a medical pillow.
"Your Highness the Prince of Wei, do you have something to ask me?" Qu Moying retracted her gaze and asked.
"What happened in the palace yesterday?" Pei Qingmin did not hide it. He turned his head and coughed twice. His face was slightly pale. "The king has been unwell these days. He has not attended court or gone to the palace."
This explains why he had no idea what was going on.
Yu Dong, who was standing behind Qu Moying, lowered his head, his expression slightly tense.
"I'm not too sure either." Qu Moying shook her head. She didn't believe that the King of Wei really knew nothing. Even if he was very sick and weak, Qu Moying would not dare to underestimate any surviving prince.
"You don't know anything about going to Dabei Temple?" Pei Qingmin asked with a smile, showing some curiosity.
Someone of his status naturally knew that the tablet of Empress Yuan was enshrined in the Great Compassion Temple, so the claim that he was ignorant of this was a huge understatement.
"I'm not very clear, I just paid my respects." Qu Moying continued to shake her head, her eyes were as light as water under her veil, but there were some ripples in them.
"Miss Qu Si knows nothing? Uncle Wang didn't say anything?" Pei Qingmin became curious and his smile became more gentle.
He was handsome to begin with, and his frail appearance made him look harmless and gentle, so even if he asked too many questions, it didn't make people feel threatened.
"What does Your Highness want to know?" Qu Moying raised his eyes and asked.
This question was too direct. Pei Qingmin smiled and said, "Fourth Miss Qu, I am just curious. I just happened to meet Fourth Miss Qu and asked this casually. Fourth Miss Qu will not care about a sick person like me, right?"
"I dare not!" Qu Moying said lightly with a calm expression.
"Miss Qu Si, what would you like to buy here today?" Pei Qingmin smiled and changed the subject to a lighter one.
"I want to see if there are any suitable and good medicinal herbs and prepare some in the mansion." Qu Moying replied.
"What a coincidence! There are indeed some good medicinal herbs. Miss Qu Si can take a look." Pei Qingmin said and nodded to the eunuch behind him. The eunuch went out and gave an order. After a while, two waiters came in with several kinds of medicinal herbs.
Placed on the table in front of Pei Qingmin.
"Miss Qu Si, please take a look and see if it suits your taste!" Pei Qingmin said with a smile, raising his hand slightly, motioning Qu Moying to check it herself.
Qu Moying stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the medicinal herbs one by one and examined them. Surprisingly, each one was of very good quality, comparable to the treasures in the mansion. In the past, it was a rare sight to come across one or two of them, but now seeing so many of them, her tightly pursed cherry lips relaxed a little, with the corners of her lips slightly curved.
She didn't need so many, so she carefully selected a few items of slightly worse vintage and placed them aside.
"Your Highness, is it okay for you to pick these?" After Qu Moying finished selecting, he looked up at Pei Yumin and asked.
"Miss Qu Si must have become a good doctor after suffering from illness for a long time!" Pei Qingmin smiled and leaned back lazily, looking a bit like Pei Yuanjun.
However, Pei Yuanjun's action added a bit of laziness, and the King of Wei now looked a bit sicker.
"Having been ill for so long, I must know some commonly used medicinal herbs." Qu Moying said with a smile. These are indeed commonly used medicinal herbs, and they are generally used by the elderly. They must have been selected when they were sent to me. "These good medicinal herbs have all been bought by me. Is that okay?"
"No problem, there are still a lot in the medicine shop." Pei Qingmin waved his hand and said, "Just consider it as a good relationship between the king and Miss Qu Si."
Qu Moying blushed slightly at these words, knowing that he was talking about her and Pei Yuanjun. Fortunately, she had a veil over her eyes, so she would not show her shame in front of others. She looked calm and bowed, "Then I will thank the prince on behalf of my father."
This is the reason why Pei Qingmin treated her so well was because of Qu Zhizhen.
Are you really unaware? Pei Qingmin smiled and waved his hand: "Miss Qu Si, please do as you please!"
Qu Moying bowed calmly again, and left with Yu Dong in a slender manner, without asking any more questions or explaining anything. Everything he did was just as he expected.
wrong.
Pei Qingmin looked at her back with interest, and the corners of his light-colored lips curled up. His initial impression was really preconceived. This Fourth Miss Qu was not a stupid person. She was even more calm and composed than the average young lady from aristocratic family.
Or it would be nice to have a princess of Yun County!
My emotions were inexplicable at first, and I couldn't stand her for some reason. Now thinking about it, it seems ridiculous. In fact, all women are the same in my heart. How can there be so many things to stand or dislike for a person who is struggling to survive!
Are the things that have passed away and are no longer there the ones where you should go
No one can afford to let down a living person.
The smile slowly turned cold, no longer having a trace of warmth, and where the eyes fell, there was only a hint of pain...
"Your Highness, your cousin is here!" A waiter came in hurriedly.
"Let her in!" Pei Qingmin said lightly, and a hint of warmth slowly appeared in his eyes, but it only seemed so.
"Hello, cousin!" Zhu Yan'er came in with a cute smile on her face. When she saw Pei Qingmin, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly saluted. She walked too fast and sweat appeared on her fair forehead. "Cousin, I was originally going to the palace to look for you, but I didn't expect to see your carriage coming. It was a coincidence. It saved a lot of time."
"What's the matter? Why is it so urgent?" Pei Qingmin asked.
"Cousin, I found someone." Zhu Yan'er stood up and smiled, her eyes full of pride, "This time it must be true."
"Really? You can't be wrong again?" Pei Qingmin asked, slowly sitting up straight. It can be seen that his expression is not as calm as he appears.
Although he has made mistakes several times, he never gives up.
As long as there is no definite news, he always hopes there is still a glimmer of possibility! Isn't it
"Cousin, it's true this time. I've asked around. This young lady happened to be in the farm over there, recuperating from an illness. It's right next to your farm. There aren't many young ladies living in that area. Later, she left for an urgent matter. It took me a lot of effort to find out about her." Zhu Yan'er said excitedly.
"Have you been to see it?" Pei Qingmin asked calmly. Only from his hands holding the chair rails could one see that he was using a lot of force, and veins on his hands were bulging.
“I haven’t gone to see it yet. I wanted to go with my cousin. If… if it really wasn’t her, at least my cousin is here. I… I would be very sad alone. She was so nice and well-behaved…” Zhu Yan’er choked up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Pei Qingmin looked at her quietly.
Zhu Yan'er was looked at with panic, her face flushed with shame, she turned her head to wipe her face with a handkerchief, and when the tears on her face had dried a little, she turned around and said to Pei Qingmin: "Cousin, back then... she must have left for something, otherwise why didn't she tell us, so many years have passed, no matter how many wrongs there were, they are all in the past, and we have grown up."
I've grown up, so is the little girl still there? Pei Qingmin lowered his eyes and said slowly after a long while: "Let's go and take a look!"
"Great, cousin, let's go!" Zhu Yan'er was so happy that she almost jumped up. She reached out her hand subconsciously to help Pei Qingmin, but he waved his hand to refuse. The eunuch hurried forward and helped Pei Qingmin.
After calming himself down, Pei Qingmin turned around and walked out, with a smile in his eyes that was a little disappointed. In fact, he didn't believe it would be true this time, but he had to go look for it... right
