There was no light on the rockery in front, but the moonlight was very bright.
Pei Yuanjun can be seen leaning lazily on a protruding rock, wearing a purple royal robe and with four claws like a python.
Pei Yuanjun raised his sleepy eyes, which were somewhat romantic, and looked at Qu Moying who was standing there in shock. He smiled and said, "Why, you don't recognize me?"
"Why are you here?" Qu Moying subconsciously looked behind her. In the past, Pei Yuanjun came here secretly, always in her yard, and had never blocked her so openly.
"It's okay, there's no one here. I just came to see you and give you a red envelope." Pei Yuanjun strode over, took out a red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Qu Moying.
"Red... red envelope?" Qu Moying said hesitantly, looking at Pei Yuanjun with watery eyes in astonishment.
It’s not that she had never accepted red envelopes, but she had never accepted a red envelope from her fiancé, and at a time like this, he came to her house openly.
You could say he was sneaky, but he came to his own house so openly to stop people. You could say he was open and aboveboard, but he clearly shouldn't be here at this time. Shouldn't he be in the palace
She heard that the dinner in the palace was also very late.
"Why, you don't like it?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows.
"No... you... how did you get out?" Qu Moying subconsciously reached out to take it. She was surprised by the thick stack.
"Of course I made a false report. There is an important red envelope that I haven't delivered, and I am not at ease in the palace." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
The moonlight was like water, shining on his handsome face. He was wearing a purple royal robe, which made him look noble and elegant from the bottom of his heart. He stood in front of Qu Moying with a leisurely and lazy posture, only the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and he had a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. When he looked down at Qu Moying like this, he gave people a gentle and affectionate feeling.
In the moonlight, his ears swayed slightly, and a flash of light passed by. It was the earring on his ear.
Qu Moying's face turned red unconsciously, and the red envelope in her hand made her feel extremely hot.
"Will you... the Emperor... agree?"
"Don't worry, the emperor naturally agreed. Well, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you!" Pei Yuanjun sighed, "Fortunately... this is the last year, and from now on I don't have to climb the wall in the middle of the night."
There are too many meanings in these words, and besides, such a person doesn't seem like the kind of person who would sigh.
Qu Moying understood immediately, and her pink face became even redder, "Then you... hurry up and leave, it will be bad if the emperor comes looking for you!"
She stuttered for once, and the calmness on her face was no longer apparent.
"Then I will leave first!" Pei Yuanjun knew that he could not delay too much. The emperor deliberately kept him here today, and he had things to do later.
After turning around and taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again: "If your father wants the position of Shangshu, let him come to me himself!"
"Your Majesty?" Qu Moying was startled.
"Since he has that intention, he has to show it!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily, hinting at something.
After thinking for a while, Qu Moying's lips curled up, and she understood what he meant, and watched him disappear into the night...
"Miss, so the Second Master just wanted to... become the Shangshu?" Yu Dong finally understood everything and looked behind him in astonishment. He could no longer see Qu
Zhizhen's figure appeared.
"The position of Minister of Works has become vacant. Father must have set his sights on this position. The Ministry of Works originally had two assistant ministers. Most likely one of them would be chosen, but the other is older than father, so he has a greater chance of being chosen. Moreover, there is another possibility, which is that the emperor would directly send someone to serve as Minister of Works."
Qu Moying explained as he walked.
The position of the Minister of Works seemed very close to Qu Zhizhen, but in fact it was still quite far away. He might even be someone he could only see but could not reach.
When Minister Liu was the Minister of Works, Qu Moying was sure that he was taking advantage of the power of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Now that Qu Zhizhen also wants to become the Minister of Works, he must also take advantage of the power. He is trying to climb up by relying on himself.
Originally, Qu Moying was not willing to see Qu Zhizhen's official position promoted, but now, after listening to Pei Yuanjun's words, she knew that Pei Yuanjun had other plans, so this matter had nothing to do with her.
If Qu Zhizhen is really promoted, it will be beneficial to her. At least in the eyes of others, her status will be raised. Most importantly, it can make Madam Liu more aware of the crisis.
She had never looked down on Madam Liu. Even at this time, she was able to start planning at such a young age and achieve all her goals bit by bit. Even now, the Duke of Qi's Mansion did not dare to bring up her affairs openly. This represented the hearts of the people. Madam Liu controlled the hearts of the people.
Even if she can't move now, doesn't she still have Liu Jingyu
Liu Jingyu is not Madam Liu, and Madam Liu will not fully trust Liu Jingyu.
That’s good, then she will help Liu Jingyu again!
Madam Liu has been around for so many years, but she has no backup and she has a lot of people under her control. She is also related to the Northern Frontier. But Liu Jingyu is not like that. Liu Jingyu is the Lady of Jingyu County. She is going to marry Pei Luoan and is thinking of becoming the future queen. In terms of interests, she is different from Madam Liu.
This meant that she had to use some methods against Madam Liu, secretly obeying her and treating Madam Liu's people as her own. These people had a new master, so they might not be very suitable for her, or willing to do the job. But there was nothing she could do, as Madam Liu was not able to move around easily...
This seems to be a dead end. In the short term, it seems that Liu Jingyu's strength has greatly increased, and Madam Liu is just recuperating from her injuries, but what is the reality
The difference in interests destined the two actions to go in different directions. With different directions, the final efforts of the two people will inevitably deviate from the directions set by the two people before. If the plan is well planned, Madam Liu's years of calculations will be in vain, and she may even end up in a situation she cannot even imagine.
For example, Minister Liu's mistress...
"Give some gifts to that Madam Gao..." Qu Moying said with a smile, and continued walking towards his own yard.
They all have the surname Gao, and this Gao is Gao An's elder. He sounds like someone who can make some decisions. Now it's the New Year, so it's natural for them to visit relatives.
Madam Liu, Qu Moying never dared to take it lightly. This woman was not only vicious but also a person who could fool people. As for Liu Jingyu, she had to find something for her to do. She was very busy recently, busy with her marriage. She didn't expect Liu Jingyu to have time to plot against her...
"Yes, Miss, I understand." Yu Dong understood.
As they were talking, the master and servant had returned to the courtyard and entered the main house. Yuchun, Miao Mama, Zhou Mama, and Yan Mama had been waiting there for a long time, helping her to
After replacing the new heater, Qu Moying asked Nanny Zhou to distribute the red envelopes in the yard today, and she went into the inner room to rest.
Yuchun helped her lie down and looked at the red envelope she was holding tightly in her hand, thinking it was given by the lady.
"Miss, the lady gave you such a big red envelope?" Yu Chun asked in surprise. Such a big stack looked like a lot no matter how you looked at it. Could it be that the lady gave all the red envelopes that Miss was missing
"No, you go down first!" Qu Moying shook his head and said with a slightly red face.
"Do you want to light the lamp for the young lady?" Yuchun asked tactfully.
"No need!" Qu Moying said, "I'll blow it out myself in a while. You can go down too. If you don't want to sleep, go talk to someone. Nanny Zhou has prepared some fruits and snacks."
Today is New Year's Eve, and she is not so unreasonable. After asking Madam Zhou to prepare these things, she found a place for the maids and old women who were willing to stay up to celebrate the New Year, so that they could go there together to talk and chat.
"Miss, I understand. If you are tired, just have a good rest." Yuchun said with a smile. After leaving, she cut the candle flowers for her and then closed the door for her.
The room fell silent. Qu Moying finally put down the red envelope that he had been sweating from, and curiously poured the contents of the envelope onto the quilt.
The one on top is a silver note, and the amount is quite large. The one on the bottom is a land deed and a map, which are folded and made of thick paper. No wonder there is such a thick stack.
It is a manor with hot springs, located not far outside the city. Calculating the distance, it is not far from the manor where Qu Moying had lived before.
There are many villages outside the capital, but not many of them actually have hot springs. However, this one actually has a hot spring. Looking at the attached map, the spring seems to be quite small.
Is it because you want me to go take a hot spring bath when you suddenly give me such a farm
In fact, she had heard that soaking in hot springs in winter was very good. The doctor had also suggested that she soak in hot springs in winter to activate her blood circulation, but she couldn't find a place for the time being, so she just made excuses. Did the doctor know that she needed it
There was an inexplicable bitterness in my eyes, and I felt indescribably sad, but also a little happy, and even a little aggrieved.
I clenched my hands and then put them down, feeling mixed emotions. My heart was pounding and I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten in my previous life.
Pei Luoan also had a hot spring villa, and it was given to her as a betrothal gift a long time ago, but she had only been there once from afar, while Ji Youran had been there several times.
Every time, it was Ji Youran who started it, and then Madam Ji and Mrs. Xiao agreed. After that, I was always tripped up by one thing or another, and in the end Ji Youran left alone to take a hot spring bath. I still felt guilty at that time and felt that I had let Ji Youran down.
Once, it happened again. I felt even more sorry for Ji Youran, so I hurriedly finished the things I was doing and wanted to pick up Ji Youran. But when I arrived at the manor, I saw Pei Luoan rushing over. Then Pei Luoan found me and explained that he thought I had already arrived, so he rushed over. Since he met me now, there was nothing to see here, so he took me to another place to enjoy the scenery...
Hot springs, Ji Youran, Pei Luoan...
They were having a tryst here that day, and they were also plotting against me and my father's family here, right? No wonder I couldn't figure out when they hooked up...
