A few years ago, Pei Luoan's Crown Princess was Ji Hanyue, and it was obvious who she came with.
But now things have changed and the current Crown Princess is Liu Jingyu.
Pei Luoan still wanted to come over, acting out his affectionate character, and Qu Moying just felt mocked.
In the past few years, after she brought her sister here, Pei Luoan, who got the news, would indeed come over. He was usually a little late when he came, and she had already finished praying and burning incense.
When he came over, Ji Youran also received the news.
She had always thought it was a coincidence, but now she thought about it, it was probably because Ji Youran discovered that she had taken her sister away and hurriedly passed the message to Pei Luoan, so when the two of them came, it was basically the same.
For this, she was particularly moved that the prince of a country could come to her in the middle of the night without caring about her own safety. What else did she want in this life? When she prayed, she would often pray for Pei Luoan's health and happiness.
The hand on her waist suddenly tightened, disrupting Qu Moying's wandering thoughts. She simply closed her eyes and listened to them quietly. She was just a strange woman now, so she didn't have to worry about what she would say when she saw Pei Luoan. The heartbeat in her ears was still steady, as if she could hold everything in her hands.
I feel an inexplicable peace in my heart.
"There will be no problem in the past few years because the late Crown Princess was always protected by guards. Ling Anbo has always been concerned about the late Crown Princess. Now she is the Princess of Jingyu County. Please remember this, Your Highness." Pei Yuanjun said lightly, narrowing his eyes.
In one word, Pei Luoan and Liu Jingyu both became embarrassed.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince should go back early and don't let a woman ruin your plans and hurt yourself," Pei Yuanjun said again.
Pei Luoan wanted to refuse, feeling inexplicably annoyed. He was the crown prince, so why should he be reprimanded by a minister, and the reprimand made him lose all face.
Although he repeatedly showed his affectionate character and specially sent someone to invite Liu Jingyu to go out of the house to appreciate the snow and pray for blessings when the first snow fell, it did not mean that he was willing to be reprimanded by Pei Yuanjun here.
But although he was angry, he could do nothing about Pei Yuanjun. In front of his father, Pei Yuanjun was favored, and he, his own son, could only stand aside.
Whenever he thought of this, he felt extremely depressed, but he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
He can deal with Pei Yuanjun only when he comes to power. All he has to do now is to endure.
Pei Luoan raised his hands and bowed to Pei Yuanjun, a trace of gratitude appeared on his face: "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Wang. I will return to the palace and act carefully."
Pei Yuanjun showed a trace of relief on his face: "It's best that the prince thinks so. The prince is related to the country and cannot be careless."
"Yes!" Pei Luoan had no choice but to agree, and clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves.
"You should do the same as me. Your identity is different from before. There are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. Please understand that if the prince is in danger because of you, you will feel guilty even if you die." After Pei Yuanjun finished scolding Pei Luoan, he turned to Liu Jingyu.
Liu Jingyu's face flushed with shame. Although no one came over to them, there were people pointing at them from afar. It seemed that she and the prince were being scolded by the King of England.
She was truly embarrassed.
If the rumor gets out, how will she maintain her dignity among the ladies
"Yes!" Liu Jingyu gritted her teeth and endured it. Even the prince had to endure it, so who was she
, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes, she looked extremely aggrieved, and her voice even trembled with a hint of grievance.
"Okay, go down!" Pei Yuanjun waved his hand, not intending to play along with them.
"Uncle Wang, I'll take my leave first. Uncle Wang also needs to be careful." Pei Luoan's gaze fell on Qu Moying's back again. From the back, he really couldn't tell what kind of woman she was. Until now, Pei Yuanjun had no intention of asking them to greet each other. Who was this woman
She shouldn't be a presentable woman, right
"Please do as you wish, Prince." Pei Yuanjun said lightly and waved his hand gracefully.
"Uncle Wang, this is..." Pei Luoan finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stopped suddenly while walking, and looked at Qu Moying with a smile as if he didn't care, "Uncle Wang, do you want me to say a few good words for you in front of the emperor?"
He said this to find out the identity of the woman in Pei Yuanjun's arms.
"No need!" Pei Yuanjun smiled slightly, his face as fragrant as jade, becoming even more handsome and outstanding in the flying snow.
As he smiled, a woman in the crowd looked over and screamed uncontrollably with excitement.
"Since Uncle Wang is in love with her, why should he let the beauty suffer because of his status?" Pei Luoan continued to test.
He increasingly suspected that the woman was of low status, otherwise Pei Yuanjun would not have held the woman's head tightly to prevent her from seeing people. Wouldn't that be shameful
"Please go back, Prince!" Pei Yuanjun did not answer him, his eyes darkened.
"Yes, I worried too much. If Uncle Wang needs any help, just let me know. I will definitely help him." Pei Luoan deliberately added this sentence before leaving.
Then he pulled Liu Jingyu, who was also focusing on Pei Yuanjun's arms, away.
Only after watching them leave did Pei Yuanjun let go of Qu Moying slightly.
Qu Moying pushed him away and took two deep breaths. Her breathing was also difficult just now. She subconsciously turned around to look at the two people who had left.
Coincidentally, Pei Luoan also turned around at this time.
The two people's eyes met in an instant through the light.
Pei Luoan's footsteps suddenly stopped. At this moment, he seemed to see Ji Hanyue's eyes, which were cold but heroic, and there was an indescribable meaning in her eyes, complex and rippling. The feeling at this moment was very strange. Pei Luoan was stunned there, his mouth opened silently, and the words "Hanyue" came out.
After reading it, Qu Moying turned around.
Pei Yuanjun half-armed her slender waist and took her down from another part of the platform, gradually disappearing from Pei Luoan's sight.
"Your Highness?" Liu Jingyu stopped and looked at Pei Luoan.
"Your Highness!" Seeing that he had been silently looking at the place where Pei Yuanjun disappeared, his face was very ugly. Thinking that he was looking at Pei Yuanjun, he gently comforted him, "Your Highness, the King of England is also worried about your safety. It's my fault for not reminding you."
She said this very gently, taking all the blame on herself. The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
She had accepted Pei Luoan's invitation for this trip. Now she was forcibly taking the blame on herself, appearing to be both magnanimous and protecting Pei Luoan. Even if she felt wronged, she would just swallow it alone.
Such a character setting would originally move people. If Pei Luoan's attention was on her now, he would definitely show some expression.
But now, Pei Luoan's mind was filled with only those watery eyes and cold hands and feet. He could no longer care about Liu Jingyu's affectionate and aggrieved words.
"Your Highness?" Liu Jingyu bit her lip and saw that his attention was still in the front, where there was no one.
"Let's go!" Pei Luoan came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, and he walked forward silently.
At that moment just now, he really thought of Ji Hanyue, but now thinking about it carefully, it seems not the case. He has never seen such eyes before, and they are different from Ji Hanyue's eyes.
But I don’t know why, when I saw those eyes just now, I thought of Ji Hanyue. My mind was blank at that time. Now when I think back on it, I can’t describe the feeling.
Is it because today is the first snow day? At this time of year in previous years, Ji Hanyue would always bring her sister to pray and worship.
So at that moment just now, when he saw this woman worshiping from afar, he thought she looked a bit like Ji Hanyue, and then she looked back, so he mistook her for Ji Hanyue
But who is this woman? Uncle Wang seems to treat her differently, and Uncle Wang is unwilling to let her see anyone, so the identity of this woman is worth pondering.
It should be a woman with outstanding appearance and a special relationship with Uncle Wang. Who could it be
"Your Highness, did you think of anything just now?" Seeing that he didn't care, Liu Jingyu took two quick steps to catch up with Pei Luoan, concealed the grievance on his face, and asked with concern.
"Who is that woman?" Pei Luoan asked in a deep voice, glancing at Liu Jingyu. "Jingyu County Lord has met many young ladies from aristocratic families. Did you recognize... who she is?"
"Your Highness, I don't know her... maybe she's not from a noble family." Liu Jingyu hinted, "There aren't any outstanding women around His Royal Highness the King of England. Maybe they're just maids or servants!"
There were some things Liu Jingyu didn't say, that is, the term "concubine", "male servant" or perhaps a plaything sent by someone else, these were not things that she, an unmarried lady, should say in front of her future husband.
Pei Luoan thought of the scene he had just seen and shook his head: "It shouldn't be."
Although he was walking under Pei Yuanjun's half circle, he looked very dignified when he walked, with his back straight. Especially the look he gave him afterwards was cold and complicated, so complicated that he couldn't tell what he felt for a moment, but he did not feel surprised, flustered or nervous.
It seemed as if seeing the prince calmly was a common thing.
This kind of calmness is not something that an ordinary woman can possess.
"Your Highness, does this mean that His Majesty the King of England has another favorite woman, and she is not the fourth lady of the Qu Mansion?" Liu Jingyu's eyes lit up.
"Uncle Wang likes the fourth young lady of the Qu Mansion? Who said that?" Pei Luoan glanced at Liu Jingyu and warned, "Whether Uncle Wang likes the one in the Qu Mansion or not, you must respect her when you see her in the future. She will be Uncle Wang's princess and my aunt in the future. She is one level higher than us in terms of seniority."
"Your Highness, I... I will let her, just like the last time at my grandmother's house..." Liu Jingyu lowered his head and said softly, then stopped talking hastily and forced a smile, "Your Highness, it's actually nothing, just a small matter, nothing to worry about."
"What's the matter?" Pei Luoan asked casually when she raised his head.
The Queen Mother repeatedly reminded him that no matter how small Pei Yuanjun's matter was, he would pay attention to it.
